MESSOiGER -. IHTEELL1GNCER. WADESDORO, N. C, AUG 4, 188, JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publisher. MEGRO BILE IX AXSOX. Everything must have a beginning. The fact that a respectable white man haa been arrested and carrried before a ne gro magirtrate in Anson county, on a ma licious charge made by another negro, ; may not amount to much in the estima tion of soms persons who pass for white men. Indeed, in all probability, there wilt be found in this county some white men low enough to actually applaud the outrage, but we are glad to believe that there are not many of the latter class. In some sections of the State this thing of negro justices of the peace sitting in judgment on white men and ' women is nothing new. Readers of The Messen- ger-Intelltgencer will probably re- WIIEKK DOES JI1IXARD V STAND T A correspondent in Maynard's Peo ple's Tribune, who signs himself "A Re publican,' quotes figures to prove that a fusion of Populists and Republicans can carry Anson county thi3 year. The admission of a communication ol this character into the columns of the Tribune suggests the query as to how Maynard stands on this important ques tion of fusion. Two years ago Maynard was violently opposed to giving the negroes repre sentation on the Populist county ticket, but recent events lead us to believe that this year he will be in favor of such a policy. We have no desire to do the doctor a.n injustice, and, in order that we may not misrepresent him, we hereby call upon him to define his position. Are you, doctor, in favor of dividing the offices in Anson county with the negroes, or are you opposed to it? Now, doctor, do not squirm and twist MR. BAILEY'S RESIGNATION. . member that, reoent.lv' in thi ritrnt Ksw Berne a white lady was dragged before a as yu did two years when th5s same negro magistrate for trial on some Irivo lous charge made by a negro servant. These outrages, we repeat, are not un common in the negro counties of the east, but, ye gods, who among us would have thought, tour years ago, such a thing possible in good old Anson. But the deed has been done, and the question for the good citizens of the county to set tle now is how to prevent a recurrence of the humiliating spectacle. That they will find a most effective way to do this the M. & I. does not, for a sin gle moment, doubt. question was put to you, in the Populist county convention, by this writer and also by Mr. K. W. Flake. You remem ber that then you talked and talked, and beat the air, bat said nothing. Your performance on that occasion proved you an "artful dodger." We hope your answer to the same ques tion now will prove you a man of sincer ity and candor but we must say we do not believe it will. BISMARK IS DEAD. MAYNARD HEDGES. I n answer to our challenge of last week, Dr. Maynard comes forward with the following explanation of the present po litical status of Col. Dockery, the Rep. Pop. candidate for Congress: "Kow.I state that as to my assertion that Col. Dockery was a' Populist (as at tributed to me by the M & I.) is not my exact language. I stated that Col. Dock ery was a free silver and antimonopoly man; that he was Populistic enough to be placed on the Populist State ticket two years ago, that he voted for Bryan and Watson, that he was Populistic enough to be the candidate of the "straight" Populists in the last ; legislature for the U. S. Senate where one vote would turn the scales for or againrt the people and that the Col. stood to day where he stood then. . ; . . . In the first place it will be noticed that Dr. Maynard claims that our assertion that he said, in his speech nominating Col. Dockery, that he (Dockery) was a staunch Populist "is not my exact lan guage." The Populist Congressional con vention was held in the town of Wades boro June 29th. In the issue of the Messenger-Intelligencer which ap peared June 30th, the day after the con vention, the following paragraph was printed: "Yesterday the Populist Congressional convention .net in Wadesboro. Dr. A. A. Maynard, who has been eating pie, obtained by grace of Republican votes, for several years, placed this same Oliver Dockery before the convention and vouched for him as a staunch Populist." The above was written the day after the convention, from notes taken on the spot, and we are absolutely sure that it is correct. If it was not correct why did not Dr. Maynard deny it at the time? Why does he wait until this late day to try to dodge out of it? The truth of the business is, the doctor feels kneenly the awkward position hi which he has placed himself by calling a man a Populist whose own brother has vouched; for as a. Republican, and who has been nominated by a convention that endorsed McKinley's administration, the single gold standard and all. In conclusion we will say to the doctor that it would be much more becoming in him to nettle the question of veracity be tween himself and Henry Dockery be fore he seeks to discredit the statements of others. . Since Dr. Maynard and State Senator Odoin are now working in double har ness (Maynard would not vote for Odom two years ago, we are reliably informed) we suggest to the doctor that he present OdOm's name to the trading committees, which meet here to-rnorrow, as one of the fusion candidates to' represent this Senatorial district in the next General Famous German Statesinttu Pas set! Away Peacefully Late Sat urday Night. Friedrichsruhe, July 31. Bismark died of congestion of the lungs last night at It o'clock. :. His end was peaceful. His last words were "I thank you, my child," ad dressed to his daughter, Countess Ran zaw, who wiped the perspiration from his forehead. Immediately after his death the win dows were thrown open and the house hold could see from the garden their mas ter lying at rest an a pillow, the bed cov ered with a white cover, and his son, Count Herbert Bismarck, bending, grief stricken, gazing into his father's face. The elements, as at the "death of the great Napoleon, seemed to participate in the tragic occurrence. A storm : rased last night along the North Sea and there was Ditter autumnal cola this morn ings", " HIS LAST DAYS DESCRIBED. I have just had a long conversation with Dr. Schweninger, who authorizes me to state that all stories of recent inter views with him are pure inventions. "Years ago," declared the doctor, 'I cer tainly said that I hoped to bring the Prince to see the age of ninety, but even then I had to recou with possible baneful effects on his health by the excitement of events attending his retirement. Re ceutlj I have been prepared for the worst, and lived backwards and forwards be tween my home and Redrichsruhe. "Lst Thursday I managed to rouse the Prince. 'Come to dinner,' I said to him. 'We must drink a glass of cham pagne together.' We did, and he was in such good spirits that " ho smoked five pipes, one after another. Then I per suaded him to go to bed before I left for Berlin. I hai to go, although even then I feared his death was a case of days. Last night I returned, just in time to see him .pass away. "I leel as if the aim of my own life were gone. My only consolation is that what ever his previous physical suffering.which he bore so heroically, his death was sin gularly free from agony. It was as the going out of the light. For he was a light indeed. This afternoon I am going to embalm the body myself. It is the last service I can render his precious re mains. FXtlTING JUSTICE'S TRI AL. John D.

He Could Not with Self Respect Remain on the Board of Agri culture While it is so Sean tlalously Conducted Ills Let ter to Governor Rnssell. Raleigh, N. C, July 28th, i3oS. To His Excellency, Governor D. L. tins sell, Raleigh, N. (J.: Dear Sir: I hereby resign my commis sion as a member of the board of agri culture of North Carolina. It is due you, our people and I myself that I make known my reasons for this action. When you tendered me the position I accepted it against my personal desire and interest with the single motive of serving our t-ommonweaim. experi ence has relentlessly impressed it upon me that this is impossile on the pres ent board under the present adminis By your will Mr. John R. Smith was made Commissioner of Agriculture in my absence from this city. On my return I went to see you and inquired why you had done this,- and you informed me you had to do it in order to get Mr. Smith out of the ofhee of superintendent of the State's prison, as under his administra tion the State was suffering the disgrace of personal scandal and financial loss by corruption and that you, having failed to get him out of that office by direct meas ures, had resorted to the plan of exchang ing the office of commissioner for that of superintendent, because in the depart ment of agriculture there was little op portunity to do anything, good or evil. I then enquired if you were under ob ligations to keep Mr. Smith in the office of commissioner lor the full term; and if you would help me to have him removed at the next meeting of the board. You declared that you were under no obliga tion whatever to Mr. Smith and you gave me to believe that you would be glad to lend me your influence in opposition to him. With this understanding! kept si lent, enduring the reproach of being a member of a board which had become party to a bargain whereby the depart ment of agriculture was put into the hands of a man publicly charged with being unfit for the public trust of super intendent of the State's prison, until the board met in the month of J une, 18 98. Then I moved against Commissioner fc"mith. But I failed to realize the weight of your influence, with which I would have been easily successful in my effort o remoye the reproach from the depart ment of agriculture. This is my first reason for resigning and my conclusive reason for making this resignation public. I have been informed, and I give you the information for what it may be worth since I will no longer be in position to watch, that while the salary of Mr. Smith as superintendent of the State's prison was $2,500, whereas, it is now as commission er only 1,800, there exists an under standing that he shall illegally and im morally get $2,500 per annum from the board of agriculture; that Mr. Smith would not agree upon the exchange until this understanding was reached. The padding of some items of the budget at the J une meeting of the board to which I called the attention of ti e board at the time may throw some light upon the matter. "Gas, water, and telephones" cost $99 the last six mouts; for the next six months $200 is appropriated. Print ing and paper costs $3,618; $5,000 is ap propriated. There is a "special" appro priation of $10,000; of this amount $5,- 000 is for the experiment station work and $300 for museum, the balance of $4,700 is for labor, fuel, repairs and such special appropriations as may be ordered. Tou see it will be very easy to carry out ttiis understanding if it exists. Again I would not fail to mention that the disposition of some of the members of the board to hold sessions of three or four days duration being paid by the day several times a year to perform du- tias which would require scarcely four hours has disgusted me time and again. Finally, it is my opinion that the de partment of agriculture is the sheerest example that we have of paternalism. In, conception it has grown into an insti tution for the rewardine of political workers, with little purposs of public good. I accepted the office with good will to ward you, reasoning that without regard to prejudices, it was my duty to help you as the chief servant of our people. I have done the best I could, only to dis cover that my efforts are defeated and right largely by your influence. The best service I can now render all con cerned is to resign and make known my icaouiis, iuc necessity ioi wnicn k regret more than I would endeavor to have you believe. Sincerely, J. W BAILEY.

"Washington, Ang. 3. After a conference on the peace question, lasting for just an hour this after noon, between the President and M. Cambon, the French ambassador, the latter acting as the reprensenta tiye of Spaiu, Secretary Day emerged from the White House and announc ed that to-day's conference wa3 in conclusive; therefore the parties to it had agreed to say nothing public ly" as to what occurred. The Sec retary did not appear to -be discour aged as he. made this statement, though he admitted that no time had been set for another conference. From this it is gathered that the long expected answer of the Spanish government to the President's note upon being received had turned out to be just as it was expected either a counterproposition, or a request for a fuller statement in detail upon some of the heads of the President's note. Up to the middle of the af ternoon it was stated by all parties concerned that the Spanish answer had not been received; that the only formal note that had come to hand was one from the Madrid cabinet to M. Cambon, asking for information upon some points that were not clear to the Spanish mind. However, just after 3 o'clock, the secretary of the French embassy, M. Thiebaul, called at the State Department and arrang ed with Secretary Day for meeting between the President and the am bassador as soon as possible. The meeting was for 3:45 o'clock, and Secretary Day was at the White House in season, but was obliged to woit about ten minutes for the French ambassador. As already stated, after conferring for an hour the parties separated, having been unable to reach a conclusion as to the acceptance by Spain of the peace conditions laid down by the Presi dent. Meantime, in consonance with the delared purpose of the President at the beginning of the everture, this conference is not operating to res train military operations in any de- MERRITT HAS A SERIOUS TASK; OUR PEACE TERMS. - As to Cuba, it is demanded that Spain is to release her government possession and control. It will be noticed that noth ing is said of Cuban independence and that the acceptance of this position leaves the United States free to deal with the island as it may deem best. Porto Rico, with the small islands ad jacent and embraced within her jurisdic tion, is to be ceded unconditionally to the United States. The Ladrone Islands like wise, are to be ceded to the United States as coaling station. These three conditions being granted by Spain, are to be taken as part payment in lieu of the lull indemnity. What fur ther payment shall be required is to be determined by a commission having au thority to act for the President, subject to his approval. Wheather Spain shall retain possession of the Philippines, as a whole or in part, is left to that commis ston to determine The reason for de ferring the decision as to the future of the islands in this fashion is because the administration is not yet satisfied itself; it is not clear at this mojsient what sound policy should dictate in the matter. Meanwhile, and until the commission has satisfactorily disposed of the future. of the islands, the United Statas is to exercise a military government over Manila harbor and bay. The commission will be ac tually a peace commission and will pre pare the treaty which will terminate for mally the war with Spain. However, a suspension of hostilities may be sooner declared, when the Spanish government shall definitely accept the conditions above laid down add renounce its au thority over Cuba and Porto Rico. AGIISALDO'S ATTITUDE. It is Expected That There Will be a Clash Between General Merritt aud the Insurgent Chief. New York, Aug. 2. A cablegram to The Journal from Cavite, July 30, via Hong Kong, reports that the correspondent has spent two days in interviewing insurgent leaders. As a result, the correspondent says he discovered evidences of jealousy of the Americans invasion, but no actual anti- American feeling. The dispatch adds: "Agunialdo is respectful toward Admiral Dewey, General Merritt and Consul Wildman.and will go any lengths to retain Consul Wildman's good opinion, but he holds back from giving energetic help to the United States forces. "He will rive onlv a negative sort of assistance until he knows the exact form which the American policy will take. He is disturbed by telegraphic reports that the United States will abandon the is lands to Spain. There are some indica tions of a clash between General Merritt and Aguinaldo."

General Merritt has again cabled to the War Depaatment regarding the situation at Manila, which he considers dangerous, owing to the atti tude of the insurgents. In the opinion of General Merritt the attitude of the insurgetns there is similar to that assumed byGarcia's Cubans upon the question of their right to enter and possess themselves of the city, although in this case the insurgents are a much more formidable element, being not only mofe numerous, but better armed and filled with the arrogance following numer ous victories over their Spanish foes. General Merritt indicates that he will do his utmost to protect the residents from the savagery of the insurgents, though his task is a delicate and difficult one because of the fact that he must, while fighting the Spaniards, be ready at any moment to re pel the insui gents. The General gavte notice that he was about to combine with Admiral Dewey in a joint demand for the surrender of the city to the United States forces, thus fore stalling the insurgents. This move may cause a rupture. It is possible, in yiew of the fact that General Merritt's cable gram was sent from Cavite last Thursday, that this movement alluded to has been made already by the combined American military and naval forces, although there is some doubt about this on account of a statement from General Merritt that he may need all of Iiis soldiers before attack ing. Still it ispossible that the demand might be made without being immediate ly followed by an attack, which might be deferred until all the troops have reached Cavite. Up to the date of the report General Merritt had w ith h i m abou t twel ve thou sand soldiers. So far seven expeditions have left San Francisco carrying soldiers to the Philippines, and it-is the intention to furnish General Merritt at least eight thousand men more than his present force.
