Wilmington, N. C.. Jan. 6.—There is no longer the least doubt that a strong fight will be made here against the liquor in terest in connection with the Anti-Saloon League of North Carolina. A meeting of twenty or more strong prohibitionists was held last night in the Y. M C. A. and arrangements were made for a mass gathering of voters to be held in the as sociation building on Friday night, Jan uary 10th, at which time it is proposed to have Editor J. A. Oates, of Fayette ville, and Rev. Dr. A. J. McKchvay, of Charlotte, to address them. The “antis'' make no secret of the fact that they are organizing to influence legislation either in favor of total prohibition in Wilming ton or the establishment of a dispensary here. The question, it is understood, will be made an issue in this city campaign. Advices have been received here that the V. S. Revenue Cutter Tuscarora, re cently built in the Trigg Shipyards at Richmond and fitted with machinery at Baltimore, has sailed fam the last nam* d Tort and will be stationed here regularly in the future, succeeding the Algonquin. Captain David A. llall is in command of the Tuscarora. The new steamer City of Fayetteville, which arrived Sunday from Jacksonville, Fla., via Charleston and Georgetown,- S. C.. proceeded this morning to her home port—Fayetteville—where she will he handsomely furnishul bv Lord &■ Taylor of New York. Af*<T ter, days she will enter the freight an 1 passenger servlet on the Cape Fear river. General Matt W. Ransom has accepted the invitation of the Veterans and Daugh ters of the Confederacy to deliver the ad dress upon the occasion of tin* celebration here. January 10th, of General Lee’s birthday. The Board of Managers of the James Walker Memorial Hospital, the splendid institution built at. a cost of >71,000 and given to the city and county by the late James Walker noon the condition that it be properly maintained, will ask the pres ent session of the Legislature to pass an act giving the city and countv the powoi to appropriate annually $12,000 to the support of the hospital, instead of sS.ooft. the amount now contributed. The Board of Aldermen last night adopted a resolu tion in sympathy, with the movement be fore the Legislature. OFF FOR INDIAN TERRITORY. Cincinnati Lawyers Investigating the Disap pearance of the McCormick Will (Special to the News and Observer.) Asheville, N. C., Jan. 6.—A party of over a dozen left from counties on the Murphy Hoad for the Indian Territory today. Twenty-five others go on the 29th when low rates will rgain be offered. Several of the party go to invest as a business speculation, others for the pur pose of making future residence there. Yancey county people are elated over the prospect of a railroad to Asheville. The strike of linemen has a fair pros pect of adjustment in a conference l>e tween strikers and the telephone people this afternoon- Cincinnati lawyers are here today to make investigation into the disappearance ot the McCormick will, made just previous to his death at Battery Park Hotel a short while back. FIRE AT LUMBERTON. W J, Prevatt Has a Heavy Loss Partially Covered by Insurance (Special to News and Observer.) Lumberton, N. C., Jan. 6.—At 12 o'clock last night fire was discovered in the store of Mr. B. Godwin, corner Fourth and Elm streets, occupied by Mr. W. J. Prevatt, general merchant. By quick and efficient work our excellent fire company soon had the fire under control and prevented its spread, though the entire stock of goods was either burned or damaged by water. The loss on the stock was twelve thous and dollars, insurance six thousand five hundred. The loss on the building was completely covered by insurance. Hon. Locke Craig for Senator. To the Editor: The time to elect a Uniter] States Senator for North Carolina in tlw place of Mr. Pritchard has arrived, and I ask that you kindly permit me, in the columns of your paper, to add my voice to those who favor the election of Hon. Locke Craig. The nation in its in telligence has just dropped a tear and passed a sigh of regret at the grave of one of its greatest men, so conceded, re gardless of his politics. The American people may not have loved him, but they all respected and honored him as truly a great man. I allude to the passing of ex-Speaker Reed, of Maine, whose name is known from ocean to ocean, and from continent to continent, and by all fair minded men of the two great parties as the one man among all men since the time of Lincoln that was entitled to Hie Presidency at the bands of a Republi can party, but because he would not bow to the yoke of wrong doing they sought to fasten on the nation he was side tracked, and a man more pliable, and more subject to the dictations of the money power of both parties, was elect ed and nut in office by the unfaithful votes in the Democratic party, and Tom Reed passed from the stage of public life with a name that will be honored for Integrity as the ages go by that will be equal in the high class of remembrance to the name of the man twice selected President over his just claim to th° office. No man ever lived that will give the Republican party the devotion and unselfish service that Reed did. From my few years stay in North Car olina, being a close reader of the leading papers of the State, I must say there is no man save Governor Aycock and our present Senator, Mr. Simmons, that has given such a record for party service as Mr. Craig. I know nothing of the other gentlemen in the race other than I have seen in the press. No doubt, as far as competency goes, and as far as being good and true Democrats, they may pos sess all the qualities that Mr. Craig possesses, but certainly the press for the past six years gives no history of efforts by them in behalf of the party that meas ures up with those of Mr. Craig. I do know but for the mountain section of the State standing for white supremacy, the Eastern part of the State would to day be under the banc of negro denomi nation to a large extent, and Mr. Craig and Mr. Aycock stand pre-eminently ahead of any men in the State in the great field work that brought about the change. Mr. Craig is young, he is able, ho is am bitions, he has the sign boards of Vance and Ransom to guide him to higher plains of patiiotism and statesmanship, he has proved the metal is in him, and that he is in full accord with the spirit of the age and liberal Democracy, and able to handle both the State’s business interest as proven in the impeachment debate, and its political interest, as proven in the joint debates with Pritchard and Is already known as a worker for the party, better than any of his competi tors, as he was the only man the Re publican party considered as the proper one to challenge through their only hope left in the South to win a seat in the Senate, so I hope the Legislature of North Carolina will give reward to the man who, without wealth has fought truly and bravely the battle of Democracy when the gauntlet was thrown down to him by its enemies, and by the strongest enemy the Democratic party has. not only in the State, but in the South. Craig is the proper man to succeed Mr. Pritchard, for the Republican Senate al ready knows of him, and that he was worthy the steel that they hurled at him, and will hear him and recognize him as he is the man that'did more than any of his opponents in the race to forever bury Mr. Pritchard in oblivion. Let Mr. Craig have the seat of Pritch ard, and 1 feel the State will have done itself honor and set a mark of encourage ment fop the young Democracy of the State to vie with each other in their efforts for progress and patriotism. Respectfully, S. A. JONES. Waynesvillc, N. C.. Jan. 5, 1903. H ii Cyrus B VtTatson for Senator. To the Editor: I have believed that when Cyrus B. Watson desired official trust by our party and State that his wishes would be granted. How he has served the State is well known. Boy soldier, wearing ro insignia of rank — without the gold nestars or bars upon his collar, but with his bright musket and glittering bayonet on his shoulder he joined with no unequal step the tramp of that mighty army of heroes under its immortal Lee, and sustained the cause of the South with undauntedJ courage for four long years of bloody battles. Having shed his blood upon Virginia’s soil, ho was snared by God's mercy to join his Democratic brethren in uphold ing white supremacy and good govern ment in North Carolina for the past quarter of a century. Orators in many political campaigns have upheld the valor o the Confederate soldier, and have an abiding faith that their sincerity is to b* relied upon. Where ability, honesty and statesman ship is equal should not the Confederate soldier be given the preference? Cer tainly it must be remembered that if recognition does not come and that soon, it will be too late’. Confederates are now rapidly passing a>vay. The younger have attained that ago where ripe experience and conser vatism makes their council sound and invaluable. If I am not mistaken, our State that furnished more soldiers than any of her sister States, has not today a single Confederate soldier representing he? in the Congress of the United States, even Maryland’s two Democratic members, newly elected, fought under the stars and bars, and I doubt if any of the late Con federate States are without a soldier representative. Will not the absence of a Confederate soldier in her representation in Congress, be noticed by the world as a discrimina tion against the Confederate soldier, and will not North Carolina be justly con demned as lacking in appreciation of those who have made her name glorious in the history of nations struggling for their rights? Or else subject her to the criticism of insincerity? There is an episode in the political career of our friend to which it would bo proper, I think, for to mention. You will recall that another distinguished Democrat other than our friend, expected to be nominated until a few days before the convention, when he declined to per mit his namo to be used. It was a period of gloom, and the coming disaster and disgrace to the State was antici pated by many of our loyal and faithful Democrats. Though a nomination for Governor of North Carolina is always a great honor, there was none soliciting that nomination. Some of our leaders turning their eyes on Mr. Watson as the man to lead a forlorn hope, called on him, and urged his acceptance of the nomination to which he yielded. Later in the morning and before the convention assembled it was reported that Judge Clark would accent the nomination. This report reaching Mr. Watson, he sent for Mr. Simmons and myself, and requested us to visit Judge Clark and say to him that in his opinion that he was ten thousand votes stronger than himself, and that if any one could be elected that Judge Clark was the man. and ! f he would accept the nomination that he would go to the convention and place him in nomination and aslc that it be made unanimously. Mr. Simmons and myself found Judge Clark at the Supreme court rooms, and performed our mission. Judge Clark declined for rea sons unnecessary to mention here, but which satisfied me of his wisdom in doing so. Returning we advised Mr. Watson of our interview, and insisted that Mr. Watson should accept the nomi nation. I remember well the patriot's response: “Gentlemen, have never shirked a responsibility nor refused to obey the call of my State or party, and if it is the wish of the convention to make me their nominee I will do my best to win a victory.” How bravely he en tered the contest and canvassed the State until his unfortunate injury received while riding at night to fill an appoint ment, which disabled him for months is a matter with which the public is familiar. The Democratic party has been re stored to power. Is it not in accordance with the fitness of things that as he fell with us that he should now rise with us? In war and peace fighting the battles of his State and party. Ready to sacrifice life for one, and ambition for the other. Brave, patriotic, able and honest, I sincerely hope that our Legis lature will honor him and the State by electing him United States Senator. Most respectfully, WILSON G. LAMB. Williamston, N. C.. Jan. 6, 1003. Hon. Cyrus B. Watson for Senator. Hon. John N. Wilson, ex-Stato Senator from Guilford, who is in the city in the interest of the section of lion. Cyrus B. Watson, a leading candidate for United States Senator, has received a letter from lion. W. W. Barber, of Wilkes, in favor of ihe selection of Mr. Watson, from which Hie following extracts are taken: "We were all at sea, nobody would run all knew that defeat was certain and no one knew what to do. Suddenly a flash went over the crowd, the erv was ‘Watson will accent the nomination for Governor.’ As soon as I heard it, I hast ened to see him, for I knew defeat was sure and I did not want him to sacrifice his life and meet such defeat. I found him in the Yarborough, and I remember well his worths after he had listened to me he said, ‘Yes, William, if I am r.omi lated for Governor. I will accept and make the best fight I am able to make. I don't want it, but some body must make the race and meet the defeat that row seems certain. A great many have plead with me to make this race and for the sake of the party, 1 will do it.” After a moment's reflection he added, “It may kill me. for it is an awful big undertak ing to canvass North Carolina, but I am going to obey the party’s call and trust to Providence to give me strength.” "His words convinced me of his devo tion to our party and T have ever since hoped that the party would bo as true to him as ho was to it in the dark days of 1816.” Dr. Mclver Will Speak in Carnegie Hnll.
