BEN TILLMAN TALKS
SAYS HE WILL ADVOCATE OPEN
REBELLION IF GOFF GOES
ANY FURTHER.
“» BLOOD AND GUTTS CAMPAIGN."
He Wauts the Conservative Democrats
to Keep their Hands oft in the Fight
For a Constitutional Convention—
A General White Primary Ordered to
he Held July 30th—Gov. Evans still
Kelnse9 to Call a Special Session of
the Legislature.
Columbia, 8. C,, May 16. —An all
night secret session of the Tillman-Irby
Executive Committee, claiming to be the
regular Democratic State organization,
was held here to-night, having been
called to meet the emergency caused by
Judge Goff's decision against constitu
tionality of the registration laws in the
face of the coming election of delegates
to the Constitutional Convention.
There was a strong effort to induce
Governor Evans to call an extra session
of the Legislature to pass a new regis
tration law but he refused, stating that
if another were passed the courts would
declare it unconstitutional also.
Senator Tillman who was present de
clared notwithstanding his bitter attack
upon Judge Goff, that the condition in
which his decision had left politics was
the very best for his party and advocated
a white primary to nominate delegates
to the convention, saying that if the
conservative Democrats, his white op
ponents, would not come into it but
make their fight in the general election,
“there would be a blood and gutts cam
paign and hell would break loose in
Georgia."
He said that if Judge Goff went any
further in this matter he, for one, would
advocate open rebellion This,’of course,
waa not intended for publication and
was not given out by the committee,
bat the reporter overheard it.
The end of it was that a general white
primary was ordered to be held July
20th to nominate delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention. The election will
be held late in August.
The conservatives regard this as a
plan to whip in them and the revolting
Tillmaniies who are making an effort to
secure honest elections. They say there
is nu race issue in the State but the
Tillman party is trying to raise one in
order to make it appear that a continu
ance of election frauds Is necessary to
secure white supremacy.

ANTI-BRIGGS MEN WIN.
Dr. Booth Elected Moderator ol the
Presbyterian General Assembly.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 16. —Notwith-
standing the well laid plans of the Pres
byterian league of liberals and mild con
servatives, the out-and-out anti-
Briggs men were successful to day
in electing their candidate for Moder
ator of the 107th General Assem
bly, Rev.. Dr. Robert Russell Booth,
of the Rutgers Church, New York City.
This campaigu for Dr. Booth began
weeks ago. It was carried on from New
York city by master hands in a manner
that would have brought them credit in
a contest with experienced politicians.
As soon as it was understood that Dr.
Booth was to be the candidate of the
Conservatives the friends of Dr. Briggs
and the Union Seminary took alarm. They
engaged the energies of the Presbyterian
league, an organization pledged to the
reversal of the acts of preceding assem
blies in the Briggs case.
The Liberals and the weak-kneed con
servatives met in caucus and discussed
the most available man. I n this they
could not agree, so when the votes were
counted they were divided, 165 for Dr.
Page, of Topeka, and 83 for Dr. Adams,
of Minneapolis, showing a strength of
Liberals nearly double that found in any
assembly for the last five years.
On the call of the roll to-day the vote
stood as follows: Booth, 300; Page, 165;
Adams, 83.

SUN’S COTTON REPORT.
Most ol the News Bullish and Liver
pool Higher With Heavy Sales.
New York, May 16.— Cotton rose 9 to
10 points, closing firm with sales of
121,800 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 2-3
on the spot with sales of 12,000 bales;
futures advanced 2 1-2 points, but re
acted and closed steady at a net rise of
11-2 points. New Orleans was higher.
Many mills at Fall River. New Bedford
and Providence are sold ahead until
next fall. London was reported to be
buying cotton in Liverpool. One New
York firm said: “There is not much dis
position here to buy or to sell by outside
operators. It is mainly a waiting market.
A stimulant is required to help it decid
edly. The bears, however, are not ag
gressive.”
The Bombay receipts for the week
were 75,000 bales against 54,000 last year;
afloat 9,900; shipments to Great Britain
6,000, against 1,000 last year; to the
continent 31,000 against 20,000 last year.
In Manchester yarns were steady and
cloths quiet.
The Southern spot markets were quiet
and unchanged. New Orleans receipts
to morrow estimated at 1,000 against
I, last year. Spot cotton here was
dull and unchanged. There were no
sales. The port receipts to-day were
3,641 against 2,234 last year; thus far
this week, 23,976 against 34,098, thus
far last week.
To-Duy’s Features.
Most of the news here was bullish.
Liverpool was higher, with large spot
sales, and reports from there stated that
London was buying on speculative ac
count. Liverpool and the continent were
buying here. The South Carolina and
North Carolina State reports were bull
ish. A decided diminution is expected
in the quantity to be brought into sight
this week. The port receipts latterly
have been pretty small. Manchester
was better; wheat and stocks were ris
ing. Wall street was buying cotton, so
were the local shorts, and in fact every
thing combined to give the cotton mar
ket a stronger appearance to day.
It is said that a prominent firm will
deliver 25,000 bales on June contracts
at the end of this month, but if they
should do so, it is declared that the cot
ton will be taken care of. A cool wave
was predicted with possible frosts in
North Carolina and Tennessee and this
also had more or less effect. One of the
most cheering factors in the days news,
however, was the revival of business and
renewed strength in Liverpool.

Concord has never had a more charm

place here this evening in the marriage
of Mr. B. Sidney Jerman, of Raleigh, to
Miss Isabelle Montgomery, of this city.
The ceremony was performed at the
Central Methodist Church by Bishop
Wallace W. Duncan, of Spartanburg,
S. O.
The church was tastefully decorated
with flowers, and was packed with
friends and relatives of the bride and
groom in Concord as well as from
Alabama, Charlotte, Raleigh, Ridgeway
and other places.
The marriage took place at 7 o’clock
and was followed by a short reception in
the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles G. Montgomery, of Con
cord.
The brides maids were simply gowned
in white, carrying LaFranee roses, while
the bride carried lilies of the valley.
The music was furnished by Mrs. War
ren Dupre, cousin of the groom, who
rendered the wedding march on the
Siano. Mrs. Dupre was accompanied by
[r. R. L. Keertler on the flute, Mr. Bar
row, cornet, and Q. E. Smith violin.
The effect was unique and inspiriting.
On the left of the centre aisle in front
sat the relatives of the bride, the father,
Dr. T. P. Jerman, of Ridgeway, and
brother of the groom, Mr. T. Palmer
Jerman, of Raleigh, sitting on the right.
The ceremony was most impressively
performed by Bishop Duncan, the bride
being married with a plain gold ring,
and being given away by her father.
The ushers were Messrs. J. B. Mont
gomery, O. G. Montgomery, Jr., A. M.
Sinclair and F. L. Smith.
The attendants were Mr. Omega H.
Foster, of Raleigh, with Miss Virginia
Sinclair, of Charlotte, and Mr. T. Pal
mer Jerman with Miss Mary Montgomery,
the best man being Dr. D. E. Everitt, of
Raleigh.
The bride’s costume was of white silk,
tulle veil with orange blossoms and dia
mond ornaments.
The present of the groom to the bride
was a gold watch inlaid with diamonds
and chain set with pearls. The wedding
gifts were many and very handsome.
Among the prominent people present
from a distance were:
Bishop W. W. Duncan, Mrs. Warren
Dupre, Master Wallace Duncan Dupre,
of Spartanburg, 8. C.; Mrs. L. D. Childs,
Columbia, S. O.; Mr. O. H. Foster and
Dr. D. E. Everitt, of Raleigh; Mrs. T.
H. Stropecker, Barium Springs; Miss
Mary Morrison, Lincoln county; Miss
Mary Springs Davidson, Rural Hill; Rev.
and Mrs. G. A. Oglesby and family, of
Selma; Mrs. W. H. Harris, Dr. and Mrs.
Creasy, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Davidson,
Mrs. R. J. Brevard, Oapt. and Mrs. A.
J. Beall, Miss 8. H. Davidson, Mr. E. L.
B. Davison, Mr. M. 8. Elliott, Miss Mon
trose Davidson, Miss Sophia Myers, Miss
Nora Dowd, Miss Laura Hammond,
Miss Adele Brenizer, Miss Maude
Beall, Miss Virginia Sinclair, Mr. A. M.
Sinclair, Mrs. E. C. Register, Herman
Dowd, of Charlotte.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Mont
gomery just across from the church was
than filled with a merry company and the
brilliant lights within were blithely
felt even through the leafage of the rich
lawn elms.
After a most happy season of congratu
lations the bride came down in her
traveling costume and joining her hus
band was driven to the station where
the platform was crowded with a party
glad with wedding laughter waiting for
the 9:03 north bound express.
As the train rushed up, the good-byes
and good wishes came fast and the bride
and groom were sped away on their
honey-moon journey.
Miss Montgomery is well known in
Raleigh, where she made number
less friends during a visit here last fall.
She is one of the most bril
liant, charming and accomplished
young women of the State, and her pop
ularity here was unbounded.
Mr. Jerman is cashier of the Com
mercial and Farmer’s National
Bank of Raleigh, and is one of
the staunchest of the young men
of that city, both in his integrity
and in his mental force. Coming to Ral
eigh from Ridgeway, some sixteen years
ago, he left a home of careful and cul
tured rearing, aud went into business life,
starting from the bottom of the banking
profession. His abilities and character
carried him forward surely to his pres
ent intrenched position in the confidence
and high esteem of that people. Os good
judgment, modest bearing, a firm hold
upon the details of his office, clean-cut
in taee and motive as he is in habit of
life, Raleigh finds in him an elemental
force towards that which is upbuilding.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerman will spend,their
time in New York and other Northern
cities and will on the sth of June be at
home in the charming new residence
just put in order by Mr. Jerman for his
lovely young bride.
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
CRUSHED TO DEATH IN A MILL.
Everybody in Tarboro Preparing for
the 20th ol May.
Special to the News aud Observer.
Tarboro, N. 0., May 16.
The cold wave that came suddenly
upon us this week brought with it a
slight frost in some sections of the coun
try, but no damage was done. The cot
ton is looking sickly and pale, and some
of our farmers fear they will not have
a good stand.
Alonzo Smith, one of the hands in
the Tarboro oil mills, was caught in the
machinery Thursday morning about six
o’clock, and so badly crushed that he
died in a few hours. The mill had stopped
a few moments for repairs, and Smith
not hearing the signal to resume work,
was caught m the machinery near where
he was standing and was terribly muti
lated, before his cries for help were
heard. When found, the whole right
side of his body, including liis face, was
mashed to a jelly, and the blood was
streaming from almost every vein. He
lived a short time.
A colored woman, who lived on the
farm of Dr. J. W. Jones, in Conetoe,
dropped dead yesterday morning. -She
was in apparently good health a few
hours before. The cause of her death
was supposed to be apoplexy.
Everything and here are
preparing to go to Raleigh on the 20th
of May. The guards will go. They are
drilling every night. Captain Bryant
tells me he expects to take fifty men
with him. Tarboro will send Geo. Wil
liams, one of the survivors of the Big
Bethel fight. He always receives a
hearty welcome on occasions like the
20th of May, and we hope he will be
honored by the Raleigh committee. He is
an enthusiastic Confederate, even yet.
Mr. Benjamin Norfleet continues sick.
Dr. J. W. Jones and wife are spend
ing some time in Franklin county.
