POU'S TARIFF SPEECH
AHe Argument to be Issued as Cam

ports From Iowa Expecta
tion of Beating Blackburn
' . ' For Ite-FJectlon. "
By THOMAS J. PENCE.
Washington. 'D. C. Aug. 15. North
Carolina is one of the fey States in
the union that has not responded iu
the call issued by Chairman Griggs or
the Democratic Congressional cam
paign committee for contributions to
the dollar campaign fund to be used
in the election; of a Democratic hou
this falC , ; A5 number of ; Democrats
have subscribed to: the popular fund,
but the sum collected to date is not u
very large one. The news from New
York is that the effort of the Repuo
lican campaign managers to collect
a dollar rund to be used in the f omlng
election is more or less of a frost.
Chairman Shermans call for a popu
lar campaign fund was. t a palpabiw
bluff TToni the start. The Republi
cans will ; be able to raise a corrup
tion fund from ; the great protected
Industries without the slightest dlm
culty. The great steel industries.
which s sell their products at lower
prices to foreigners than to people of
th3 country, as the result of the
protective tariff, enacted Into law by
the Republican party,' will give all thj
financial assistance requested by
Chairman Sherman of -the Congres
sional committee for the election or a
Republican house. The Democratic
committee is up against an entirely
different proposition. 'There is not a
-wealthy. .corporation In-- this entrrt
country that rould exnect a favor
from a "Democratic house, and any
lunds that-Chairman Griggs may . re
ceive rauC t)f necessity come tram
loyal and enthusiastic Democrats who
possess large wealth.
The 5 speech . delivered by Represea-
tative Fou a few days prior to tat
adjournment of Congress with refer
ence to. the revision of the tariff, ana
'which was Intended as a reply to the
stand pat tariff argument of Repre
sentative John DaJzell. of Pennsyl
vania, Is to be published as a. cam
paign document by the .Democratic
Congressional . campaign ' committer.
Mr. Pou's speech has already been
placed in the hand of the. printer
and 'will probably be ready . for dis
tribution next week. All the litera
ture to be circulated In the campaign
has not been finally selected. In ad
dition to the effort by Mr. Pou. three
speeches by minority leader Williams
and . one each by Champ Clark ana
Rainey. of -Illinois.) will be. put in
circulation. Others will - be chosen
s soon as Chairman Bowers of the
literary sub-committee return to fh
city. There is a big demand for
Democratic-literature, which is a very
pleasing situation to those around
Democratic headquarters. , The only
speeches that have been mailed - so
far are those by John, Sharp William.
One of these . elucilaie? . the question
as t.o what democracy stands, for.
another discussed the subject of how
American consumers are exploited
and plundered, in order that trusts
may sell to the foreigner . at lowei
prices and the other is a reply to Mi.
Boutell about foreign and American
prices of American made watches and
other protectionist iniquities. .?
Decidedly favorable news is being
received from - Iowa, where the Re
publican feud between the stand put
and revisionist forces has reached th
breaking point. A Democrat from
Iowa, who was here today, declared
that the friends of Perkins, the de
feated Republican candidate for gov
ernor are openly proclaiming thai
they will support the Democratic gub
ernatorial nominee, and that the Republican-
candidates for . Congress,
who assisted In -the rcnomlnatlon of
Governor Cummins are to be scratch
ed. . The prediction was made by
thta authority . that the Democrats
will make several gains in the Con
gressional districts of Iowa. The
present delegation is solidly Repub
lican. Representative E. Spencer Black
burn was a caller at Democratic head
quarters In this city before leaving
for home yesterday. . Mr. Blackburn
said his visit was merely a social and
friendly call. . Chairman Griggs and
every one at Democratic headquarters,
are very much Interested , In the de
feat of the present Congressman from
the eighth. Their information from
the State is that the Hon. Rlcharu
Hackett will certainly win If thw
Democrats of the district do their
full duty and turn out at the polls.

(Special to News and Observer.)
Durham, N. C, Aug. 15. The pub
lication In Durham and in, papers
throughout the State that some one
had Interfered with the sentence of
the court in the case of William Bar
bee, convicted of store breaking and
charged with burglary, created a great
big sensation here today and it has
been the talk ot the town and county
today. There'is no denying the fact
that William Barbee, .iDntenced to
three and one-half years on the roads
of the jcounty, waa : changed . to the
work house, and last Saturday nlgnt
was I nthe city, visited relatives, was
in one store on Main street, riding on
street cars and wearing citizen's
clothes. There are denials as to
responsibility as to who allowed such
conditions to exist, '
Superintendent Pollard, who has
charge of the road convicts, - insists
that he spoke to the board oi com
missioners about changing Barbee to
the work house and that while no ord
er was made by the board it was nu
derstood that he was to . make the
change. He says that this change was
made last spring and that Chairman
Allen spoke to him about tho matter
the following morning, asking htm If
William Barbee had been taken to the
Work house, and he ' replied in the
affirmative. - Mr.. Alien, on the .ether
hand, says that he does; not remem
ber that the, matter was mentioned to
him about the. chanze . and that the
prisoner had been at the work house
three weeks when he round u , out.
AlrL Allen admits that he knew that
Barbee was at the .work-house three
weeks after the change was maae ana
this Was last spring. Nothing was
done about getting him back on the
roads, where he was sentenced by tns
court. . - -
Mr. W, T. Mangum. superinten
dent of the worK nouse.' r nays uat
!arbee was delivered ' to him by Mr.
Pollard to work on the' farm and Mr.
Pollard stated It was with the endorse
ment of the board. The prisoner was
a trusty and was allowed freedom
about the yard at night. . He .supped
away and that Is how he came to be
In Durham on a visit.
Regardless of who Is responsible
there Is a responsibility somewhere
and the people of the county are justly
indignant. In the meantime there has
been no slow work in finding a way to
get William Barbee uaeK on tne roaas
of the county, where he was sentenced
by the court. He was at-; work today
with the other nrisoners of the county.
Plantations along Flat river, in thU
county, have been greatly damaged
within the last two days- by freshets
in the river and the waters ovcrilow
ing and covering a large number, of
acres. Reports trom that section. - in
the northern part or the county, say
that from two to three thousand acres,
mostly planted In corn, were covered
by water yesterday afternoon and this
morning. In many casos tne cars oi
the corn were covered - and it Is
thought that . this will ruin the 'corn,
causing it to sour. , The water was
four feet above "Rock Bridge." a
place ' that is seldom' covered during
these freshets. Hundreds of acres
left only the tassels of the corn show
ing ' above the flood. The damage
cannot be estimated, as the owners of
the corn cannot get Into the low lands
to make an examination.
Considerable excitement was occa
sioned this morning by John Strud
wlck. colored, striking his- wife.' and
the report being circulated that she
waa dying. When the officers reach
ed the negro section In which the
trouble - occurred they found several
hundred negroes gathered about the
house. Strudwick was arrested and
a physician attended the wounded wo
man. She was. unconscious for- a
while, but will not die. Her husband
is in Jail, being unable to give the
necessary bond pending an . examina
tion into the case.
In the -police court this morning
Ira Cates. . charged with forgery, was
sent over to the grand jury. He forged
a check for $25 and then tried to make
his escape but was arrested at 'Univer

back to Durham. Sergeant Crabtree
went up on the afternoon train yester
day, arrested 'his man. and naving no
way to get back but to walk, he
brought his man on foot-back, walking
seven miles. .-

waa the charge to the grand Jury de
livered today at tne opening 'of - court
by Judge; Peebles. , - - ;
On this subject the judge said. In
part: '-..:-; - ,' r- ..v:,v . ' j
"Included in the crime of murder Is
that, of -lynching. The ' Confederate
army of North Carolina was famed for
the great number of men she' sent to
the front, and not a braver body of
men ever lived, I believe. But are
we to think that violations like lynch
ings find lawless deeds committed are
going to furnish the State with brave
men? In lynching there Is no bravery
or courage. The reputation of the
brave troops of the State will suffer
when the State depends on men who
believe in lynching. - But men with
property and thinking men will be
lieve in law and rise up and see that
an end is made to this."
A very sad death was announced
here today of 1 2-year-old Rosa Ever
ett, daughter of Capt. D. K. FV Ever
ett, for many - years one of the Sea
board's best conductors on the line,
whio. after living here some time, went
to Rock Hill. Miss Everett had gone
to Hamlet to visit, when, she was
stricken with appendicitis and died
only a short time after the first ap
pearance of the disease. - It is sur
mised that the burial will be at Laurln
burg. She has a twin sister, who sur
vives her. ....
