Gerdineer, that he saw him when ho fired both times. Gerdineer had arpair of brass knucks on his person when arrested, but no pistol. Warwick and Burriss, the two men shot, declare that a negro did it. Warwick says he was standing several feet from the negro when the latter drew his pistol and fired at the crowd. Gerdineer was arrested and carried le the guard house.

Colored, Accused of Burglarizing the Residence of an ExCounty Commissioner. Ed. Foy, colored, who resides near C1ii It'll . ii ocous uni, was commiuea to jail yes terday by Justice J. M. McGowan to await the next term of the Circuit CriminalJCourt, when he will be tried for his Life on the charge of burglary. On last Saturday morning, between 2 and :i o'clock, he was caught in the dwelliiji of Jordan Nixon, colored, who was a member of the Foster Republican Board of County Com missioners: The evidence was to the effect that about 1 o'clock Saturday morning Nixon left home for the Wilmington market, his horse gave out and he decided to go back home. When he entered the house he heard some one in a front room. He aroused his wife and they went together to see what was the trouble. TEey found FoS, and he and Nixon had quite a sjfuggle, during which Foy was struck over the head wkh a stick and a deep gash inflicted. He finally made his tscape aud was arrested Sunday morn iBgand brought to the county jail, A peculiar feature of the case is that Qn Saturday afternoon Foy came up to Wilmington and went before Jus tice R. II. Bunting and swore out three warrants against Jordan Nixon; one for assault and battery, another for cruelty to animals and the other for some kindred offence. 'Squire BuntSrgdismissed the cases. There seems to have been a fued between Foy and Nixon for some time. They are near neighbors. It appeared m evidence that after Foy was ar rested he said that he went into Nixon's house to get some camphor, tii the trial yesterday Herbert Mo Clammv, Esq., appeared for the prose cution and C. P. Lockey, Esq., for the defence.' Counsel agreed that such a piain case was made out against Foy that argument was needless. RENOUNCESREPUBLICANISM.

GLENN AT WARSAW. Hundreds of Democrats (lathered to Hear this Eloquent Campaigner. A correspondent of the Stab wrote yesterday: To-day was a love-feast for the De mocracy of Duplin. It had been ad vertised only a few days that Bob Glenn would speak here today, but the people heard the news through the country and came. About 500 people gathered around him to hear him de liver the greatest speech ever heard in Warsaw. It was a great effort. When he arose to his feet perfect quiet pre vailed, which continued during: the speech, except when broken by shouts ot applause-. The record of the Republican party after the war and the present fusion party was stripped bare so no one could fail to see its awful hideousness. When he pictured the awful condition of af fairs under which we now live and foreshadowed the horrors of the future, the eyes of old men were filled with tears. Many ladies were present and showed much interest m too speech. wnen he closed he called upon every white man who would pledge to work in this campaign for the party to rise. The entire audience arose with a shout. The speech will do much good here. YOUNG MAN WAYLAID.

PesebanA nrt of the candidates for the Legislature. JO.T. ireSCOaU SDOke thirf.T7- minntpa ana maae a very forcible presenta tion of the issues involved in the present campaign. He urged upon the white men to stand Wether in the present fight for white supremacy. and thus rid our State of the present disgraceful administration. Mr. Bv G. Empie wasathen in tra duced by Mr- Barney Humphrey. Mr. fXimPie spoke forty-five minutes. He, also, urged the white men to show their manhood bv standing bv the Democratic party, and by working and voting for white supremacy.. He advised them to lav aside their nartv prejudices and factional feelings, and. to unite with the white men, present a solid front to the enemy and march to victory m November. After the conclusion of Mr. Etnpie's speech, the good people of Harnett township invited all present to par take of dinner. The feast was exceed ingly tempting, consisting of fish, shrimps and other edibles from the briny deep. After dinner Mr. Iredell Meares was introduced and spoke about one hour and a half on the political issues of the day. He made a strong and vig orous arraignment of the present in competent State administration, show ing the disgraceful state of affairs that exists under and by reas n of the ad ministration in Eastern North Car olina. There were something like 200 peo ple present and there was every sign that the people generally are thor oughly aroused and anxious to hear political questions discussed. Eight or ten Populists Were present and some were heard to say that they in tended to vote with the Demo crats for white supremacy. Several candidates for office were present. In addition to Mr. Peschau there were Mr. W. G. McBae, candi date- for treasurer; H. McL. Green, candidate for treasurer ; W. EL Biddle, candidate for register of deSus; and Wm.

Mr. James Fairfax Payne, who was known to many Wilmington people, and who was quite a prominent man, died yesterday at his home at Alma. Robeson county, at the age of 48 years. He was a native of Virginia, but had been living in this State for many years. He was a lawyer by profession and had been a member of the State Legislature. The Payne election law of which he was the author gave him a good deal of prominence. He prac ticed his profession at Monroe where he was a member of the firm of Payne & Vann. Of late years he had been practicing at Maxton. Mr. Payne married a daughter of the late Alexander MacRae, Jr., a brother of the late Donald MacRae. His wife and five children, one of whom is Miss Fair Payne, so well known here, sur vive him. The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon from St. James Church. The interment will be at OakdajR Office Hunter Dockery. It is said that Office Hunter Dock .... ... ' !. ery, the candidate or tne negro party for Congress in this district, is to make one speech in Wilmington. This speech ,of course, will be to the negroes, for the corporal's guards of so called white men here who will sup port him need no appeals from Dock- erv the Dodger. It is further stated that he will speak at Burga w, and al so at Southport, Why does not the noble standard-bearer of the Republi can nartv. that will give him ten negro votes to one white vote, meet John D. Bellamy in joint dis cussion before audiences of white peo- nle? Bellamy is anxious to try con clusion with the Republican who has so often voted for negro candidates in pre ference to white candidates; but it is safe to say that the old Office Hunter will never meet .uenamy on ine stump. Mr, W, C, Marshall, of Birta, Pender county, returned yesterday from a stay of several months in the western part of the State.

If there are any in this part of Robeson county, except two or three old fogies who want office they are ashamed to sav so. When it comes to the question of white supremacy the people seem to all one way. Red Springs Citizem SETTLED SETTLE. Tom Settle's friends, some of them at least, claim that his defeat for the Republican nomination for Con gress in this district was dictated by the fusion innta at Raleigh. We do not know how this is. "We noticed fin the papers that the Pop ulist bosses in Raleigh pledged the Populist vote of the district to Adams, but said it should not go to Settle. Afraid of the light. What does this mean? The Re publican State executive committee adopts a resolution advising that Republican candidates hold no joiut debates with Democrats. Why is this? Are the Republicans afraid to meet Democrats in public dis cussion? It looks that way. Well we do notblame them for hot want, ing to hearjithe truth" But be sure your sins will find you out. Hen derson Gold Leaf, OVER A HUNDRED PARTICIPATED. From reports already in hand over a hundred former Populists partici pated in the Democratic primaries on Saturday, and not more than half of the precincts have been heard from. The reports in this. issue make4&4 nest oj; reading lor democrats, tti some of the primaries more people participated than the Democrats cast votes in the precincts two years ago, and in no single instance, so far as heard from, was there aprimary in which not a former Populist was present. Lumberton Robesonian. DISCREDTED MARION. To-day, Marion Butler stands re vealed in his true character to the Farmers Alliance. This man who claimed himself to be a second L. L.' Polk, is known to be a most unsav ory and unprincipled political deni agogue. He has sold the farmer and his interests to keep himself in office. He has betrayed any and every one when by so doing he was helped, politically. Hp stands dis credited by every white man in North Carolina who believed in Anglo-Saxonism. Neaibern Jour nal. BECOMING INTOLERABLE, Negro insolence is becofning in tolerable here. It is also frequent, growing bolder. A ew days ago four ladies were out riding. After two got out the other two were re turning home and in passing Par ham's prize house, where a lot of negro women were congregated, some one of ihem yelled to the ladies to let them ride let them ride on that little seat. Such is the result of Alfro-popism and such must be stopped or , some day there'll be fewer negroes, white and black, in Greenville. Greenville Weekly. - UNITING IN CHATHAM. We are pleased to state that the true white men of Chatham are rapidly coming together and are uniting for the Supremacy of the white people in North Carolina. On last Friday Messrs. H. A. Lon don and R. H. Hayes spoke at Siler City and on Saturday at Harper's X Roads. There was a good crowd at each place and much enthusi asm. Not only were the Demo crats more hopeful and determined than heretofore, but many former Populists are uniting with them At each place there were several good, honest, substantial farmers whet had been voting the fusion ticket since 1892, and who declared that it is now t:me for "all white men to get together." They de clared that they could not stand "fusion" rule any longer and would vote with the Democrats next No vember. Chatham Record. A CRITICAL TIME During: the Battle of Santiago. SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY, The Packer at the Battle of Santi ago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni tion and Rations to the Front Saved the Dav. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No, 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, says : "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical tune this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were ho roads that a wagon train could use. My' comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a sup ply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."

IVla ned' c lined to look at the i3hg side of the account for opportunities rather than to the short side of the account, the theory .being that the market is over sold, ptmsibly heavily so. At best, however, trading was slack and the mood of all classes of operators evi dently fickle. The, small receipts at the interior towns and at the ports checked whatever disposition there was to sell in connection with the un certain status of the "crop.
