By a remarkable coincidence Mr. Marion Butler, chief engineer of the Pop. machine in this State, and Mr. A. E. Holton, chief engineer of the . Rep. machine, happened together in Raleigh Monday, and had adjoining rooms in the hotel. We refer to this as a mere coincidence, for when Mr.' Butler was seen by the reporter of the News and Observer he said he was in the city on business in no way connected with politics, and was on his way to-the Western part of the StaAfand had no appointment to meet or corner witn i-ioiton. uut . Holton, when seen j later, told a ' different story and said that Butler was there to meet him by appoint ' ment made by him (Holton). If Butler was there by agreement to meet Holton why should he deny it? If he was riot there for that purpose why should Holton assert that he .was? IsiButler ashamed to ac knowledge that he is holding con ferences with the chief engineer of the Republican machine? He should not be, for he manipulated the fusion and is more than half-way in the Republican camp now. He can't fool the people by such denials, for : of course thev know that such con- - - ferences are necessary if the schemers expect to pull understanding to gether, and hence the conferences might as well and more manfully be held boldly as sneakingly and clan destinely. He and Holton might not only have had adjoining" rooms in the . hotel, but they might have slept in the same bed without adding one particle to the suspicion that now rests upon Butler of having bartered the-support of his following to pro mote his own interests.' It seems from the reports from South Carolina that the programme of the Republicans In that State is A ...... . r - no State ticket. If the anti-Till- manir.es naa at meir laie convention nominated a ticket Dossiblvthe Re- at - publicans might have picked up courage and done likewise,' but to do so now would be simply to unite the white vote of the State for the can didates already in the field to main tain white supremacy. But the ma nipulators of the national Republi can machine are much more in terested in electing Republican Con k gressmenthan in electing Republi can State tickets in the South, and this programme to which we re-let-is doubtless in accordance with their suggestion. There are some districts in wnicn the colored voters are in the majority, where, unless that vote could be divided, they would be reasonably sure of success. .Heretofore the Democrats have man i aged to secure a considerable per centage of that vote, and can prob ably do so yet. But with the fac tions pulling against each other the .situation in the State is not only '. complicated, but also in the Congres ; sional districts. This action, how- ?! ever, may convince the white voters ; of the State of the necessity of get ting together, in which event we f have no doubt they will show the level-headedness and grit heretofore displayed,-and that they will hold their grip on the districts Xthey now have. The Philadelphia Times, Indepen dent, thinks Hill will be defeated for Governor of New. York, if he remains in the field and thinks he should de cline. The Times doesn't like Hill, but that is neither here nor there. Al though- Hill has not yet been officially notified of his nomination, it is too late for him to decline, if he would, after his, although apparently reluct ant, acquiescence in what the Con vention did. We do not believe Hill is the weak man the Times, seems to think him. If the Democrats of New York can't elect Hill, they can't elect anybody. George R. Holmes, a census ex pert, says the mortgage indebtedness of this country would foot up $11, 000,000,000, which is about one-sixth of the total estimated wealth of the country. The Republican orators make no allowance tor this when orating on our great progress in get ting rich under Republican role.

Here abouts Are Interested. . . HMV s The U. S. Circuit Court ot Appeals I for the Fourth Circuit, sitting at Rich mond. Va., handed down several opin ions yesterday which are of interest in this section. The case of Margaret Connelly vs. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, in which the plaintiff re covered $5,000, was appealed by the de fendant from judgment rendered in the United States Court here. The judg ment ot the lower court was affirmed. Hon. D. L. Russell and John D. Shaw and Sons appeared for the plaintiff, and Walter H. Neal and N. A. McLean, for defendant. An opinion was also deliveied in the suit of W. S. OB. Robinson. Receiver, vs. B. F. Hall and the directors of the First National Bank. The defendants demurred to the plaintiff's bill, and the demurrer was sustained by Judge Sey mour. The plaintiff appealed from Judge Seymour's decision and the higher court now reverses Judge Seymour. It is impossible to state what the scope of the decision is until the opinion of the Court is received. If the demurrer of the defen dants is overruled in its entirety, then the defendants will, have to answer and the case will be tried upon its merits. Hon. D. L. Russell appeared for plain tiff and Junius Davis, E. S. Martin. Ricaud & Weill. M. Bellamy & Son and DuBruiz Cutlar for the severaW hectors. Tbe above suit was brought by the receiver against the directors' of the bank for failure to take bond from Cashier Bowden and for not recording certain mortgages. SUMTER AND SOUTHPORT. The Revival of an Old Kallroad Project. Some interest is beinz revived in the Sumter and South port Railroad, says the News and Observer, and it is not im probable that an appeal will be made to the counties through which the road is to run to issue bonds to aid in its con struction. Such a road has been pro tected for some time, and every once in a while it is brought, forward again. Southoort is on the North Carolina coast, not a great distance beyond the borders ot this State, and the original scheme of the new road called for it to be built in almost a straight line to Sumter. Whether or not anything will come of this present movement no one can say. A short time ago a meeting was held at Lockwood's Folly in the interest of the road and a strong address in favor of building the road was put lorward. t was easily shown that that section oi the country needed such a road and that this one could be built for a compara tively small amount. An effort is on foot to have Brunswick county, N. C. issue $60,000 in township bonds in the ntcrest of the projected line. It is said also that the, people of.Horry county are interested In it, and that they would be willing to help build the road. Hansom at Burlaw. Senator Ransom addressed a large number of the voters ot Pender county at Burgaw yesterday. The court house, where the address was delivered, was packed with people. Many ladies were present. Hon C. W. McCIammy in a strong speech introduced the Senator, who de livered an address that created great en thusiasm and made a fine impression upon the audience. After the speaking Mr. Bruce Wil- lams, in Denait ot the ladies ot fender county, presented to Senator Ransom a beautiful flower-basket. The Senator received the gift with graceful acknowl edgement of the courtesy of the ladies. Death of Gen. Peden. An Associated Press dispatch of Sun day from Jacksonville, Florida, gives the particulars in brief of the death of Gen. James A. Peden, brother soi Maj. W. N. 'eden, formerly of this city, but now residing at Clinton. The dispatch says : Gen. Tames A. Peden died here early this morning. lames Alexander Peden was born in Wilmington. N. C, in 1816. In 1830 he came to Honda and took part in the Seminole war. On the break ing out of tbe Mexican war he enlisted In Hays' Texas Rangers and served with distinction. After the Mexican war he returned to Florida and devoted himself to the practice of law. Under the ad ministration of President Pierce he was appointed Charge d'Affaires to Buenos Ayres, and served in trTSft capacity for four years. He represented Duval county for many years in the Legislature, and was a brigadier general of btate troops. Gen. Peden never married. . "It Has No Superior.') Coldsboro Argus.

J Beoeption by the County Executive Com mittee and Cltiaane Baoorted to the ; Orton Address at the Opera House to ja Iitrce Assemblage-Many Ladle in I Andienee Serenaded at The Orton. Senator Matt W. Ransom arrived from Burgaw yesterday upon the 5 50 p. m. train, and was met upon his arrival by the Democratic Executive Commit tee. He was escorted by the committees to The Orton House, where a large num ber of our people were in waiting to welcome tbe distinguished visitor. In the carriage with Senator Ransom rode Chas. E. Borden, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Hon. Oi P. Meares and John D. Bellamy, Jr. The speaking was advertised for the hour of 8.15, and long before the time arrived the OperaHouse was crowded, and standing room was at a premium. The audience was variously estimated at from 1,200 to 1,500, and not less than 400 to 500 ladies graced the occasion with their presence. No such assem blage ever greeted a political speaker m this city before, and the. outpouring of the people shows in what esteem and affection North Carolina's great Senator is held by the citizens of Wilmington men, women and children for whom he has labored so "zealously and done so much. The Second Regiment Band furnished the music for the occasion, and while the audience was assembling played several choicest airs. Promptly at 8.15, Senator Ransom and escort entered the Opera House, and as soon as the well-known face of our Senator appeared upon the platform, the audience cheered and cheered, and ten dered the orator of the occasion a grand ovation. t i Mr. Charles E. Borden. Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, stepped to the front of the platform as soon as quiet was restored, and in the following true and graceful words pre sented Senator Ransom : Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a well known fact that vou didn t come out to-night to hear me make a speech. nor will I attempt one. Senator Ransom, who is witn us to night, will . make one though, and ! promise you that it will be worth hear- f . r ing. You are au tmnxing oi mm at mis instant. A gentleman whose name is a household word, and whose personality is so well known to you as is Senator Ransom, needs no introduction to a Wilmington audience; and I will add, needs none to the people of Carolina nay. needs none to a national audience. In travelling through our State, when Ransom's name is mentioned people sav well, there is one place where everybody loves him, and that place is Wilmington. And so we do, ana we are here to-night to show him that we do. AH you people know how Kansom feels towards us; how he has ever watched over and protected our inter ests; how through him our river has been deepened, and our ocean bar im proved, until the stateliest ships now come sailing in, and our commerce ana trade go oat over the earth. Why! they say now that one of the steamships now in; ourt por is ot such size that she is going to carry away 12,000 bales ot our new cotton, and another advertises passenger accommodations for those who wish to go abroad. 1 never look at our public building, the prettiest and neatest of its kind any where, that I don't think of Senator Ransom and wish- him well. It is a beautiful structure, epitomizing in stone tbe friendship that exists between him and us. The other day it was 'stated that the telegraph line between here and South port was to be discontinued abandoned and sold. Senator Ransom wasappealed to, and when every effort failed, he bought the line himself and tendered it to Wilmington . Thus stands he; ever ready to show his friendship and interest in us. These facts are as well known to you all as they are to me. So, we have in vited him down here, and he has come and is going to talk to us to-night. benator, you are in the house ot yonr friends, and when we have a friend in our home, the house belongs to him. It is yours. I now present North Carolina s gal lant soldier, splendid orator and distin guished statesman Matt. W. Ransom. Senator Ransom was again tendered an ovation upon his rising and it was several minutes before his mellow South ern voice commanded quiet by the words. "Ladies and Fellow-Citizens.' No synopsis of the great the greatest political speech ever delivered in our city will be attempted, for none can be given that can do it justice. It was a Democratic speech from in troduction to peroration; and the people so recognized it, and gave their heartyl approval uy ircqucai interruptions oi ap plause. I ; Bold, aggressive and defiant were the utterances of the distinguished Senator, and when he pointed to Grover Cleve land's picture (which was upon the plat form) and stated that he had no apolo gies to offer for any act of our great President, the audience cheered right lustily. The speaker! declared that the Democratic party had accomplished more for the people and fulfilled its promises more faithfully to the people in a shorter period of time than any party in history, and how well and eloquently he vindicated this assertion his hearers all over North Carolina will bear witness. Senator Ransom dwelt upon the repeal of the Federal election laws, the tariff and income tax, the economical and honest administration ot the Gov ernment by the Democratic party, and contrasted in undying words the treat ment which the Southern people 'had received during twentf years of Republi can administrations, with that favor and justice and impartiality of the adminis tration of Grover Cleveland. And on the financial question. Senator Ran som said that when the Congress met in December the! Democratic party would work out tbe great financial prob lem, as it had the tariff and other great questions, and would restore to the people upon equal footing gold and silver and issue paper money redeem able in both coins. The expose of the marriage and fusion-of the Pops and Rads provoked laughter and applause. Said Senator Ransom here, the Repub lican party by its union has abandoned all its principles, and the Populists had united with the party which they had denounced for twenty-five years and declared was the cause of the present hard times and distress. Senator Ransom then referred to the State government and contrasted it un der Republican and Democratic rule, and asked who was it so foolish and rash to cry for a leader to carry them back to the days of 68, 69 and 70. His closing remarks were an appeal to the Demo crats of Wilmington and New Hanover, to lay aside prejudices, 'personal pre ferences and differences. ' Said the great orator; "Put your prejudices and per sonal preferences upon tbe altar ot Democracy and burn them. Lock your shields and march to a great Democratic victory; What are men when liberty and the success of a great party are at stake?" . v--- - The Senator thanked the people for their great kindness and patience in lis tening to him so long and bade the au dience good night. Again the great au dience rose to their feet and cheered and cheered. The band played and the ladies joined in the demonstration by waving their fans and handkerchiefs. The people rushed on the platform to grasp tbe loyal and devoted North Carolinian by-toe hand, and the meeting was over. The Senator spoke over two nours and a half, and from beginning to end there was no mention of self. it was a Democratic speech and one calculated to make votes for the party. A stranger in the audience would not nave iearnea from the Senator's speech that he held any high office or that he was before the people for their suffrages. Said one of Wilmineton's staunchest business men, "It was the greatest speech I ever beard. Would to God that every man in our State could bear that speech. The State would be safe beyond ques tion." After Senator Ransom was driven to the Orton House, he was tendered a serenade by the "Hanover Band." and a crowd of two hundred assembled to again call for "Ransom !" Senator Kansom appearea upon tne balcony of the hotel, and in well chosen words thanked the band and tbe people for the compliment of the serenade, and made some pleasant allusions to our city's prosperity and hopes. After tbe conclusion oi tne speecn tne crowd gave three cheers and a tiger for our Senator. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Begular Monthly Ueetinjc-Iaapeeion d Judges of Election Appointed. .

The election for State-officers passed off quietly iu this county to-day. The principal inter est centres in tbe vote in the Tenth Congressional District as indicative of the coming contest between Congress man J. C. C Black. Democratic nomi nee, and ex-Congressman Tom Watson, Third party leader. The JThird party majorities have been reducea in several instances from the figures of the last Congressional election. Full returns have not been received, very little in terest was manifested in the election to day and the vote in November will be much heavier for both parties. Rich mond, the leading county in the district, will give a Democratic majority of 2.609. Savannah, Oct. 3. The election in Chatham county was tbe quietest in years. The vote win not exceed s.uuu. The Populist vote will not exceed at present outlook, 200. Atlanta, uct. 4. The state election occurred in Georgia to-day, tbe State voting for Governor and State officers and full Legislature, which is to elect a Senator in November. Two years ago the State went Democratic for Governor by 71,000 majority for W. J. Northen over W.L. Peck, the Popuiist nominee. W. Y, Atkinson is tbe Dem ocratic candidate for Goyernor this year and I; K. Hines, the Populist nominee. The election has been closely contested for the last two months and the indica tions are that the State has polled an unusually full vote, larger than two years ago. There are 137 counties in ueorgta and returns are coming in slowly, but there seems to be no doubt that Atkinson's majority for Governor will be between 80,000 and 50,000. The Populists have made considerable gains in the Legisla ture, but not enough to in anywise effect the Democratic control of either the Sen ate or the House. It will be after mid night before anything like official returns are in, but in the meantime it can be stated with certainty that the entire Democratic ticket is elected by a ma jority! approximating 40,000, with the Legislature largely Democcratic Later reoorts from all over Georeia show that the Populists have made gains in almost every county in the State and that the Democratic majority will pro bably not be more than 30,000. Indica tions are that the Populists will have 30 or 40 members in the next Legislature. Complete returns will not be in before daylight, but it is estimated that At kinson s maiority will be about 30,000 The Populists claim that the official reports will reduce tbe Democratic ma jority to 20,000, while Chairman Clay, of the State Democratic Eqecutive Committee, claims that the majority will reach 35.000. Savannah, October 3. Chatham county gave Atkinson a maiority of 2,749 in a total vote oi 3,053. His majority is 157 greater than Northens in 1892, and 508 greater than in 1890. The Populist vote to-day was 141. r "I have used your Salvation Oil and can say, it is tbe hnest thing l ever saw for all kinds of pains or sprains and can recommend it to any one. N. L.

Bam Sharpe Says That in All But About Twelve Oat of Seventy-five Counties He has Visited His Race Will Vote the Straight Republi can Ticket T. Sam Sharpe, the colored editor of the Wilmington Herald, was in the city yesterday, says the Raleigh News and Ob server. He has been travelling over the State in the interest of his paper, and has taken occasion during his goings to look into tbe political situation. aharpe is intelligent, observant, con servative, and a straighout Republican, opposed in toto to fusion. "I suppose, said he yesterday, "that out of seventy-five counties that I have visited, that not more than twelve county chairman are in fayor of fusion. "The fusion chairmen you will find in Monroe. Fayetteville, Wilson, Golds boro, Statesville, Lumberton, Jackson ville, and in Rockingham county, and in a few other places, but in the rest of the seventy-five counties that I visited the Republicans are opposed to fusion and will have none of it." "Are those chairmen white or col ored?" "Most of them are colored." "Why do tbe colored people dislike the Populists more than they do the Democrats ? "You know we call the Populists, the Populist-fused, negro-hating ticket. It is headed now by the same crowd that started the White Man's Republican League in 1883 at Asheville, namely, Pritchard. Skinner and Mott. They fought the negro then and thev will do it now. Marion Butler fought the building of a negro school a few years ago, and Skinner said if the negroes went to Heaven he didn t want to go, They were the leaders of the Kuklux, which was the tail of the Democratic party: "What will be the result of the defec tion of the colored people?" "It means the defeat of the Populist ticket by 75,000 maiority. "Will that benefit you Republican col ored people any?" "Yes, if we have got to have Demo crats we want Democrats, but we don't want men who profess but don't possess, We prefer picking our own men or let ting things go on as they are. In the convention which went for fusion here there were four or five white men to one colored man. It was all cooked up with utter disregard to the sentiment of our people. "In the Convention in which I was delegate in Weldon, on June 28th last, where Cheatham was nominated, J. F. Dobson tried to run the machine the same-way. "No, it won't do, the Populists are counting without their host, if they bank on the colored vote for fusion.. They are giving us no recognition now and we pro pose to give them none at the polls. WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. For the Week Endlne Monday, Oct. 1, 1894. Central Office, Raleigh, N, The reports of correspondents c, of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the week end ing Monday, Uctooer 1st, 1894, in dicate that the storm of the 26th to 29th was not nearly so severe as an ticipated. Considerable damage was done to cotton open in the fields, and a little to other crops, but nothing serious. Reports indicate that 62 per cent, of the cotton crop remains ungathered in the fields on October 1st. hiASTERN District. The past week was generally unfavorable on account of the storm which set in Wednesday afternoon, the 26th There was considerable wind the 26th, 27th and 28th, and the rain-fal continued tin sunaay, averaging trom to 5 inches. All accounts in dicate that the storm was far less se vere than the similar ones which occurred in August and October, 1893. Considerable damage was done to open cotton by wind and rain, and sweet potatoes in low places by the ground being too wet. Last estimate indicates a short crop of cotton there j is very little top on August crop a picking stopped this week, but as a large proportion of the crop is open it will be rapidly picked out with fair weather. Peanut digging nas Degun. Central District. The storm injured cotton, tobacco on the hills. some late fodder and pea-vine hay which was cut and not cured, and blew down a little corn and sor gnuro, but fortunately the storm was not nearly so heavy as ex pected. The rain was beneficial, ex cept in southern portion, where ex cessive, and put land in good condition for fall plowing and seeding oats and wheat. Cotton crop will be somewhat better than last year. Corn very good, though after fodder was pulled ears were seen not to be as large as first thought. A large crop of sorghum cane grown this year and making syrup going on Minor crops good. H. B. Battle, Ph D., Director. SENATOR RANSOM Spoke at Warsaw, Teaterday, to About Five Hundred People. Special Star Telegram. ' Warsaw, N. C, October 2. Senator Matt W. Ransom spoke here to-day to about five hundred people; some Popu lists and some: Republicans, but three fourths of the crowd Democrats. He. ap pealed to the people of North Carolina who love their homes, their wives and children, to support the grand old Dem ocratic party.' He argued at length tbe tariff bill, showing its benefits to many poor farmers and other classes of poor people of the South. He convinced his hearers beyond a doubt that the Democratic party- was ' the, party of the people and for the people; and the only party in existence that had ever given the people of the South any relief. His speech was as grand as any the peo ple ever bad the pleasure of hearing. His eloquence will ever be remembered by tbe people of Duplin coanty. As is the Senator's custom in speaking, he con stantly referred to the ladies (of whom there were aboutone hundred present). His speecbrfrom beginning to end was enjoyed by all who heard it. At its close, after shaking hands with a number of old friends, the Senator bearded the 4 o'clock train for Clinton, where he will speak to morrow and be greeted and cheered by a large audience of Sampson county's yeomanry. THINKS HILL WILL WIN Iiamont Thinks the Senator Knows Wnat He la About aod Can Oet -.he Vote. A special to the eWorld from Wash ington says : ! Secretary Lamont, who has been ex ceedingly shy about making any com ments On The New York nominations said to-day: I "New York is a Democratic State and has been for thirty years. Mr. Hill is a vote-gettcr. and the campaign will un doubtedly be an active one. There m.iv be some men of greater or less promi nence, with more or less ol a following. who will refuse to support him. but be will not be concerned about that. He has his own way of making a canvass and will look elsewhere for his votes. He has unquestionably looked the ground over, and knows about where his strength lies and thoroughly understands the sit uation. "His opponent is not an exceptionally strong candidate, j Mr. Morton is an agreeable gentleman, but there is nothing in his candidacy to attract such Demo crats as may not like Mr. Hill, nor is. he likely to draw the independent vote 1 see no reason why Mr. Hill should not be elected - RAILROAD RUMORS. It Is Now Believed That the South Caro lina and Qeorgla Has Been Bought by the Louisville and Nashville and the Atlantio Coast Line. The following paragraph, which has recently been going the rounds ot the New York papers, will unquestionably be of interest to the people of Charles ton just at this time. With slight varia tions, the paragraph is as follows : Negotiations are said to be under way between the Parsons Brothers, the principal owners of the South Carolina and Georgia, and the executive officials of the Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville, whereby the first named property is to pass into tbe joint control ot the latter companies. . The South Carolina was bought by the Parsons some time ago and the name was changed. The road has a main line from Charleston to Augusta with branches, and the Atlantic Coast Line and Louis ville and Nashville have had their eyes on the 'property. During the past few weeks negotiations are said to have been resumed between the Parsons and the Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville, and it is said that the transfer of the desired line is now pending. . The South Carolina is wanted by the Atlantic Coast Line because it will give it an en trance into Augusta." In substance this same statement has been made many times before both here and in New York, and the pertinacity with which the rumor keeps itself before the public is possibly the strongest argu ment which at this time can be adduced in support oi it. .The railroad men hereabouts ere pretty well divided in their opinions on the question. Some very high officials on the south Carolina and "Georgia road while they disclaim speaking with au thority on the subject are open and above board in their expressions of be lief in the truth of the rumor. At the same time there are other well informed railroad men in the city who think that the ultimate outcome is bound to be that the Louisville and Nashville and At lantic Coast Line will control the South Carolina and Georgia road. ROBESON COUNTY Superior Court Large AttendanceAd dress by Mr. Iioekhart. Star Correspondence Lumbbrton, Oct. 2. 1894. Yester- day Judge Brown convened the Superior Court of Robeson county. There is a pretty full docket and a large attend ance. At recess of Court Mr. Lockhart, Dem ocratic candidate for Congress, addressed a large crowd on the Court House green ana was very coraiaiiy received. Not in the Deal. I Referring to the supposed sale oi the South Carolina and Georgia 'railroad to the Louisville and Nashville and Atlan tic Coast Line.the News and Courier says One point was pretty well established by the inquiries made by this paper yes teraav.anrj mat was that whatever may have been done in transferrins the South Carolina and Georgia Road to a new management the Atlantic Coast Line system had no hand in it one way or an other. Lastnigbt we received the fol lowing dispatch from a prominent offi cial of the Atlantic Coast Line system: "The News and Courier, Charleston. S. C: We are not negotiating (or the purchase mentioned, either directly or indirectly." ; , This, of course, sets at rest the suppo sition that the Atlantic Coast Line peo ple have anything to do with tbe deal if one is afoot.
