IN HANOVER COUNTY JAIL
Sam Callaway, the Nefw Who Shot Mr.
B. P. Pwoy, Captored hylttea
of Brunswick Coanty.
Sam Callaway, the black fiend who
shot Mr. B. t. Penny at Leland last
Sunday, is now locked securely be
hind the bars of a cell in Nw Han
over county jail. He was brought
here early, yesterday morning. ' J?5&.-
Yesterday's Star told of how the
negro was secarely cooped up in a
house a short distance ttosa Leland.
Yesterday a reporter - learned from
Mr. V. J. Brown, brother in-law of
Mr. B. F. IJanny; tha-details of the
oaptuiv -He and Mr. J. M. vordwent
over to Lelana Thursday afternoon,
determined' not to return to Wilming
ton until the negro Was captured.
They Imd previously learned that Che
fugitive was skulking about the sand
hills beyond the bay. At Leland they
wee joined by Messrs. W. D. Roberts,
A. M. McFayden, 0. D. Teboe and A.
BrHarvell.
This posse went to Phoenix and
thence through the mud and mire
across the bay to a house occupied by
Eliaa Blaney, where they "had reason
to believe the fellow was in the habit
nrkincr
They -reached the place about 8.15
o'clock, the woman protested, that
Callaway was not there; said be had
just gone away with & friend. Mr.
Brown insisted upon searching the
premises and in a few minutes found
him ingeniously concealed under a
quantity of pea vines and guano sacks
in an outhouse. When discovered he
came out with his hands up, being cov
ered by Mr. Brown's 16-shot Winches
ter rifle. An English bull-doe pistol
and seventeen cartridges were found
on his person.
The posse walked fifteen miles to
the home of Mr. R. L. Chenney, Jus
tice of the Peace, in order that they
might get authority to hold their pris
oner and make some safe disposition
of him. The Justice gave them the
following order, which they brought
here to Jailor King, to-wit:
"To the Jailor of New Hanover
County:
"Please keep safely the body of Sam
Callaway, colored, until arrangements
can be made for the preliminary near
ing. R. L. Chenney,
"Acting J. P."
They reached the city about
o'clock yesterday morning and de
livered their prisoner to the jailor. .; A
Star reporter saw Callaway yester
day. He said that he intended to shoot
Cant. LaMotte, of Florence, instead
of Mr. Penny ; that .Capt. LaMotte in
sulted him on the train by cursing and
abusing him and threatening to cut
his heart out if he drew his pistol,
when he had no -pistol. When asked
about the difficulty he had with Capt
Carmbn about his fare he said he was
only joking with him when he told
him that he had already paid his fare ;
that he was always joking with the
captain and that they were -even curs
ing eacn other in run. ne nad no
end of excuses to make for his conduct.'
It is not known here as yet what
action the Brunswick county authori
ties will take in regard to the trial, of
Callaway. The opinion is expressed
by some that the trial will he trans
ferred to this county, inasmuch as all
the witnesses and parties to the case
live here. However, it is possible that
the prisoner may be carried to South-
port. Some definite instructions are
expectecHiere to-day.
ANOTHER DISGUSTED POPULIST.
Who
Can't Afford to Support
the
Mongrel Gang Longer.
The Star is in receipt of the
following very interesting letter from
Mr. Forney Gore, of Brunswick
county, who like many other .good
men was led astray four years ago by
office seekers and unprincipled men.
Iredell, N. C, Sept. 19, 1898.
Editor Morning Star: I feel it my
duty to write this card for publication
in the Star whiph paper we prize so
highly because it is a white man's
paper and upholds white supremacy
Four years ago I cast my first political
vote (and 1 was honest when I did
so) for the Rep-Pop fusion ticket. I
thought the good men of the two old
parties nad united for something good.
but found it was a sad, sad mistake
and that the aggregation was com
posed of disgruntled; politicians, who
had set upon this plan to get into
office. I had never cast a political
vote up to that time and now I am 31
years old, and by the help - of
the Supreme being, I expect to
never cast another the way that one
went. Let all white men stand to
gether on the 8th of November and
vote for men who will give us white
supremacy; I can but shudder when
I read of the government of such
places' as Wilmington, Greenville and
other towns that are governed by
negroes. I have been a teacher in
the public schools of the county for
we past nve years, but have relin
quished that occupation since the an-
S ointment of three negroes out of the
ve school committeemen of onr
lownsmp. i can t attora to go to a
negro for employment, so I am
now working on my. little ..farm and
expect to continue until the school
law is changed.'

Vinkland, N. C. September 22.
The Populists had their county con
vention here yesterday and had a great
wrangle over the wisdom of fusion
One Mr. Edmonds made, a speech
against fusion and said if fusion with
the Republicans was effected he would
leave the party and.carry one hundred
other votes with him.
The Populists of this township voted
against fusion. But the county boss-
es made a trade with the understand
ing that the Republicans should have
the Representative and Register of
Deeds and the Populists the balance of
the pie.
I was out amone the Populists to-day
and heard good many of them say that
thev were dona with the oartv as
they could not be traded off for office
' any more. They say the Populist
party in uoiumbus county is now

DOCKERY TALKS TO TH
NEGROES AND POPUUSTS
A Very Small
fnses a Division
The Republican speaking at Burgaw
yesterday was a very dliH Sffair. The
audience, which was mostlv com
posed of negroes, was thoroughly
apathetic, and the main speaker, Oliver
H. Dockery, had none of the spirit
that a just cause would have inspired..
Messrs. Iredell Meares, Geo. H.
Howell and t. WN CHawson, of this
city, went up in the -hope that Mr.
Meares would be allowed a chance to
repy to Col. Dockery's speech, but
as will be seen later their hopes were
blasted. However, they were given a
most cordial reception by the Demo
crats of Burgaw. They were met at
the depot by acting chairman of the
Executive Committee, Jno. T. Bland,
acting sheriff J. B. Black, and B. G.
Grady, Esq. They took dinner at Mr.
Black's and were quite delighted ajt
the cenuine hosoitalitv extended at
Mr. Black's home.
The speaking began atone o'clock in
the court house. There was only a
thin crowd mresent. In addition to
TTi .
about fifty negroes there were six
Populists, as follows: E. McMofire,
chairman Pender commissioners : Geo.
T. Jones, commissioner; G. F. Walk
er, once Populist nominee for Legis
lature; E. M. Uohnsonv a former
Bepublican ; A. H. Paddiapn, ex-State
Senator;!). W. Rivenhark, candidate
for sheriff in 1896. There were only
three or four white Republicans, the
most prominent being R. M. Croom
post-master and chairman of the exec
utive committee; E. B. Jordan, a
former Wayne county Republican
register of deeds, and W. S, Cowan,
ex-member of the Legislature. Eigh
teen Democrats from Burgaw, in ad
dition to those from Wilmington, were
.present to hear the joint debate.
John C. Dancy, the colored collec
tor of the port of Wilmington, was
the first speaker. A key to the senti
ments expressed in Dancy s 30 mm
utes" speech may be had from his state-
men t that Wilmington was in as good
condition as any ther town in the
State.
Capt. A. H. Paddison introduced
Col. Dockery as being a man to stand
by the principles of the Populist party,
and also as in favor of financial reform
and against trusts and monopolies.
Dockery spoke from 1.45 P. M. to 3
P. M. He regretted the smallness of
the crowd and attributed it to the in
clemency of the weather. Said he
was a nominee of two parties and con
sidered it an honor. Declared that he
was nothing but a farmer and thanked
God that he was not a lawyer. Was
on his farm when the issue was pre
sented to him. "This is an election,"
said he, "upon which the mudsills of
our government rest and the issue is
local self government"
As to his platform he vowed that he
stood now where he stood two years
ago by his Anson county speech of
that time. Had always been a bimet
al list, stood for the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1, opposed to monopolies, and
in favor of protective tariff. He said
that he was still a Republican and had
no thought of leaving the party. In
commenting upon the negro question
he said that in his debate with Judge
Fuller in 1868, "nigger" was the Cry
then as it is now. Then the Colonel
made a really apt remark by speaking
of the inconsistency of white men
working for white supremacy, at the
very time they keep negroes in their
employ. It was amusing to watch
how the wily old politician tried to
avoid saying anything that would
grate upon the sensibilities of his
negro friends. When he was refer
ring to them, habit would' force him
to get the word "darkey" half out of
his mouth before he could correct
himself and say "colored man."
xne speecn was in tne main, so
those say who heard it, very much af
ter the fashion of that delivered by
Butler in this city two years ago. He
stated that he would speak in Burgaw
again on Oct. 15.
As he finished speaking, Mr. Geo. H.
Howell asked for a division of time
with Iredell Meares, Esq., the repre
sentative of Democracy. The words
were not out of his mouth before the
crowd of tnegroes began to file out of
town and chairman Croom said it was
not the policy of his committee to have
joint debates.
The negroes were not impressed
with the speech of their champion,
and one said yesterday that he would
vote for at least part of the Democrat
ic ticket. i
WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
Nothing Heard From the Brunswick
Authorities In the Case Against Sam
Callaway Yet. -
I
Nothing has yet been heard from
the Brunswick county authorities in
regard to the prisoner Sam' Callaway
now confined in the jail hereto an
swer the charge of shooting Mr. B. F.
Penny at Leland last Sunday. Act
ing Sheriff French says that the negro
is not now even properly committed;
but that he is holding him because he
knows public opinion will sustain him
in doing so. it is his purpose if no
instructions are received from Bruns
wick by to-morrow, to go himself or
have som eone else to go before a
magistrate and procure a warrant on
information and belief as to the charge
made against Callaway and on that
procure a formal commitment.
However, he thinks either the
Brunswick authorities or the At
lantic Coast Line people will.take the
necessary action in the case very soon.
The Brunswick Way.
Eight negroes have been "drawn"
on the jury list for the October term
of Brunswick Superior Court . But
we never hear of a Brunswick negro
being; nominated for a paying office
The Republican party of that county
is the negro party, because the negroes
east nine-tenths of its votes. They do
the voting, and their white masters
hold the offices.

Cot. Oliver H. Dockery spoke at

the redoubtable colonel would have
the whole loaf or none, and wouldn't
divide time with Mr. Iredell Meares.
He spoke from . stand javtba grove, X
and was-infjpodujsed By It. M. CrSoio.
His speech was about tne same as that
delivered at Bnjrga, only the negro
chapter was much more elaborate."
After a speech of about an hour and
a half, he left the. stand and his!
audience hurried away. One of the
negroes proposed three cheers for Oli
ver H. , Docberyr He jrot out the
"Hip, hip, hip," and there was a
deathly silence. Then he made an
other effort and there was an indiffer
ent response. The negro who was
driving Dockery's carriage said.
"Well, if you are as weak as that on
election day, your votes woat count
for much."
Mr. Meares knew beforehand that he
could not have a joint discussion .with
Dockery. He had left instructions
with Bruce Williams, Esq., at Bjir
gaw, to ask it as a personal favor of
the Republican speaker,' but the re
quest was of no avail. Dockery replied
that he would not participate in a joint
debate with Mr- Meares or any other
Democratic speaker.
About half an hour after Dockery
and his crew had left Capt R. P.
Paddison introduced Mr. Meares. For
over two hours Mr. Meares expound
ed to his audience the tenets of Dem
ocracy and exposed the weakness and
corruption of the present administra
tion. The audience which was com
of about fifty Democrats.
and several Populists, comfor
tably seated around the speaker, told
him to "go on." So he felt at liberty
to go into details which he did with
fine effect V
He arraigned the administration and
the legislatures of 1895 and 1897 for
extravagance and showed how taxes
had been largely increased. He
pointed out the sharp contrast be
tween the present and Democratic ad
ministrations. Then he aired Russell's
record in the matter of the Southern
railroad lease, and referred to the re
construction times when Russell and
Dockery, being men of wealth and
influence, could have wrought much
for the public weal, but instead threw
the weight of their influence upon the
nd unholy,
was fully and
ably discussed and Dockery's record
placed along by that of Bellamy s.
much to the discredit of the former,
even though he is the champion of the
negro.
Meares1 speech was a masterful
presentation of the issues involved in
the present campaign. He ridiculed
Dockery sharply for refusing to meet
him m debate, and said that bis re
fusal showed that he was either a po
litical coward or was conscious that
he could not defend his position.
Mr. Meares was superbly enter
tained by Capt R. P. Paddison, He

Mrs. FeUon's Speech.
A Mrs. Felton, froia Georgia,Tiiakes
aeedfc. before the Agricral So-
cietytTybee, Ga., m wnennejMivo-
notoa lvnchinsr as an extreme measure.
This woman makes a strong plea for
warn an hood, ana n tne aiieeea crimes
I or rape were half so frequent as is oft-
times reported, ner piea wouiape wor
thy of consideration.
"Mrs." Feltoh, like many other sor-
called unnsuans, loses signi oi me
basic principle of the religion of Christ
in her plea for one class of people as
against another. If a missionary
spirit is essential for the uplifting of
the poor white girls, why is itt The
The morals of the poor white people
are on a par with their colored neigh
bors of like conditions, and if any one
doubts the statement let him visit
among them. The whole Ihmp needs
to be leavened by those who profess so
much religion and showing them that
the preservation of virtue is an essen
tial for the life ot any people.
"Mrs. Felton begins well for she ad
mits that education will .bettor protect
the girls on the farm from the as
saulter. This we admit and it should
not be confined to the white any more
than to the colored girls. The papers
are filled often with reports of rapes
of white women, and the subsequent
lynching of the alleged rapists. Tne
editors pour forth volleys of aspersions
against ail negroes because ot we lew
who may be guilty. If the papers ant
speakers of the other race would con
demn the commission of crime because
it is crime and not try to make it ap
pear that the negroes were the only
criminals, they would find their
strongest allies m the intelligent ne
groes themselves, and together the
whites and blacks would root the evil
out of both races.
: ?We suggest that the whites
guard their women more closely,
as Mrs. Felton says, thus giv
ing no opportunity for the
human fiend, be he white or black.
You leave y our goods oat of doors and then
complain because they are taken away
Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protecting their women,
especially on farms. They are care
less of their conduct toward them
sod oar experience among poor white
people ia the country teaches as that the
women of that race are not any more par-
ticular in the matter of clandestine Beet
lags with colored men, than art the
white men with colored women. Meet
iags of this kind go on for some time
until the woman's infatuation or the man's
boldacss, bring attention to them and the
man is lynched for ripe. Every negro
lynched is called a 'big, burly, Mack
brute,' when ia fact many of those who
have thus been dealt with had white men
for their fatten, and were not only not
black' aad 'burly' but were sufficiently
attractive for white girls of culture 1 and
refinement to fall in love with them as
is well known to an." .
"Mrs. Felton must begin at the
fountain head if she wishes to purify
tne stream.
"Teach vour men Duritv. Let Virtue
be something more than an excuse for
them to intimidate and torture a help
less people. Tell your men that it is
no worse for a black man to be inti
mate with a white woman, than for a
white man to be intimate with
colored woman.
Tou set yourselves down as a lot of
carping hypocrites; in fact you cry
aloud for the virtue of your women
while you seek to destroy the morality
of ours. Don't think ever that your
women will remain pure .while you
are debauching- ours. You sow the
seed the harvest will come indue
time."

As the Republican politicians in

The following affidavit from a num

that Manly was not regarded as a

This Is What Butler Called Those Who
Favored Co-Ope rat ion in 1897.
Here is what Marion Butler said
in his paper, the Caucasian, in Feb
ruary, 1897:
. "The co-operation of the
Populists and Republicans in
this State has been a dismal
and disastrous failure. Only
the contemptible pie-hunters
see any good in it."
If you do not believe Marion But
ler's paper said this, ask him whether
it did or not. He dare not deny it
If "co-operation" had no "good
in it" in 1897, is there "any good in
it" in 1898, when Negro Domination
is scaring us in the face?
What Marion Butler said in the
Caucasian in 1897, is exactly what
every decent white man in North
Carolina believes now.
