THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 17, 1902.

A Favorite Son of the Pied
mont Section.
Mis Friends in Caldwdl and the Upper Pied
mont Present His Name for Speaker of
the House.
To the Editor: If all the inembers-elect
of the House of Representatives knew
Will Nevvland as we know him and loved
him as we love him, there would be no
doubt about that honorable body select
ing him as its presiding officer when it
assembles in Raleigh in January.
The upper portion of the great Pied
mont section of the State presents the
name of this able, eloquent; and genial
gentleman as the favorite for the position
of Speaker of the House, and Caldwell
county, the old rock-ribbed Democratic
stronghold that withstood political fusion
and confusion, desires to emphasize its
earnest endorsement in the confidence of
its favorite sou. The Democrats of this
I
HON. W. C. NEWLAND,
of Caldwell County.
section have always known where to find
W. C. Nevvland and with or without re
ward or the hope of reward, he has in
season and out of season gone up and
down these Piedmont and mountain
slopes storming in his own most effectual
way, the strongholds of old time Radical
ism and Pritchardism. He is a
native and to the manor born and from
these majestic foothills has gathered
strength of character and inspiration of
soul. He is an able member of the bar,
with trusting clients all over this sec
tion of the commonwealth. H> has served
his people well as legislator, solicitor
and in other positions of trust and re
sponsibility. and in 1900 he was the choice
of almost a majority of the delegates of
his district convention for Congressional
honors.
At home he is universally popular and
when the danger ls the greatest, the
battle the fiercest, and the result th**
most uncertain he is most in demand. In
1890 our county in ah unguarded moment
forsook its moorings and driftel into the
Republican camp. Almost immediately
the thoughts of our people were turned
towards Newland, and knowing his per
sonal strength and his ability as a cam
paigner the Democratic party, by a
unanimous vote in its convention, asked
him to take up the banner and redeem
the county. He accepted the trust and
despite Pritchardism and Blackburnism
boodle he won a signal victory. He
merits other honors and none would fit
him better than the Speakership of the
House, and no man would adorn the
position more than William C. Newland.
of Caldwell.
Very respectfully,
J. H. BEALL.

CROP3EY HAS NO NEW WirNESI.
None That Can Oive Important Testimony---
Bo he Himself Declares.
(Special to the News and Observer.)
Elizabeth City, N. C., Dec. 16.—The re
port sent out from Norfolk that the
father of Nellie Cropsey would produce
■a new witness who would give important
testimony for the prosecution, is charac
terized by Justice Cropsey himself as a
mistake.
"I cannot account for the origin of
such a report,’* he says. *‘l remember
being approached by a reporter in Nor
folk, who asked me why Cale Parker's
wife was not put on the stand at the
last trial. I tokl him she was confined
at the time. Probably the reporter
jumped at the conclusion that she would
be put on at the next trial, and gave
publication to his suppositions.”
When n.sked if Parker’s wife could give
any addtiohal evidence, Mr. Cropsey said
no.
BISHOP TART S IT COOLLY.
Counsel May Attempt His Release Under Ha
beas Corpus Proceedings.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Charlotte, N. C.. Dec. 16.—Arthur L.
Bishop, the travelling man who stands
charged with murdering Tom Wilson, was
brought to this city this morning from
Petersburg, and is now in Mecklenburg
jail. Bishop talked freely today about his
escape from Charlotte, though he declined
absolutely to discuss the crime. Bishop
says he spent the night of the murder ih
an unoccupied room at the Buford Hotel.
The next day at midday he tramped out
of the city by back streets and walked to
New London, where he took a train for
Norfolk. He seems not at all dejected
over his situation. It is possible that his
attorneys, Messrs. Jones and Cansler,
will attempt his release under habeas
corpus proceedings as there is no term
of court until February.

Our citizens can almost rest assured
that the whistle of the oyster factory
will be heard again this season. The
damage the plant sustained in the recent
tire has been satisfactorily adjusted by
Mr. Primrose and in an interview with
Mr. Farren, he said. "You can tell the
■people I will more than probably rebuild.
I think I shall go to Baltimore Saturday
and Mr. Ford will come Monday to begin
the work.” Mr. Farren said his main
draw-back will be the question of coal,
hut thought he could secure enough for
the season’s consumption. Our people
will hail this news with pleasure.—Wash

Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 16.—The re
markable rjehness of the iron ore used
in the steel works here caused a seri- ;
ous embarrassment last week. Super
intendent Prosser, in preparing for
' house room” for the molten iron as it
flowed from the blast, had mde his esti
mate for a high grade ore, but on the
third blast the flow equalled 90 degrees,
with the result that every receptacle was
running over and he had to dam up the
remainder of that blast until more re
ceiving space had been provided. This
was done and today he was reloiced to j
find that the one and a half output con- j
1 inuod in richness, and that he had pro
vided plenty of room for the liquid >
Sampson of the mineral kingdom. He
says that ho has been in the iron busi
ness for thirty years, and that the ores
ho is now using is the highest grade he
ever saw.

reached a depth of 206 feet, and the water

A special from Elizabeth City says:
"There arrived in this port Saturday a
cargo of oysters which were among the
finest ever seen here. They were on a
small boat and therefore did not consti
tute many bushels, but in size and ilavor
they were exceptional. Besides delight
ing the taste of their consumers, they
also jtnade evident the fact that oysters
of fine size and flavor are also to be
found in the lower sounds country as
well as inferior ones in large quantities.
They were found on the rocks of Payne’s
bay. a small tributary of Pamlico
sound.”
