are a mere drop in the, bucket to the

and can see hundreds from , where I ait.
Take the road to Poplar ' Hill church.
There's the Allen lands (Alec, and Jim).
The boys were hardworking, good farm
ers. Every year they made' fine crops,
but expenses were more than, the profit.
Adjoining is the Richardson place, once
a large and productive farm, now gone
to waste and ruin. Adjoining : is the

every improvement, now in ruin and

have been improved. The great body of
waste land in almost every township far
overbalances; but that is not the main

habits. Alec, is a truthful man, and I
believe him when he says he is losing

JIM WALL
has a fine farm. Jim, with his fine sense,

I run seven plows; aake, from forty
to sixty bales of cotton yearly; say sixty.
As I work on shares, thirty bales would
be mine. Grant that I ought to make
eighty. Thirty bales comes to seven
hundred and fifty dollars. Outside of
fertilizers my expenses are sixty dollars
monthly. Expenses taken from profit
leaves thirty dollars for the year. You

The negro soldiers at Fort Macon camp
within the past week have given unmis
takable evidence of a disposition to in
volve the white people of this city in a
riot, and but for the calm discretion of
the civil authorities of this cootmunity
their insolent and 'disorderly conduct
would have precipitated a conflict on
more than one occasion. They have
been allowed all the privileges of civilians
to roam at large all over this city in
squads of five to twenty, UHaccotn pained
by any commissioned officer, to drink
liquor, quarrel and fight among them
selves and with others-, to . remain away
from the camp over nights reveling - in
places of disrepute outside of the city
limits; to travel back and forth on rail.
road trians. Indeed they don't seem to
have been under any military discipline
during the past two weeks. They have
been allowed to go where they pleased
and to do as they might please, while the
colonel in command, James H. Young,
was off in Raleigh and elsewhere attend
ing political meetings.
The people of this town have forborne
to make any complaint of the conduct of
the soldiers, end have suffered some in
dignities at their hands, and even in the
interest of peace, the civil authorities
haye allowed to pass apparently unnoticed
conduct for which a citizen of the com
munity would have been arrested and
punished. Forbearance, however, ceas
ed to be a virtue to restrain the civil au
thorities on Saturday last when one Green
Carter of Company A, came into , town
full of blockade cor a liquor and attempt
ed to "paint the town red." He was
promptly arrested aad carried to "the
lock-up" and imprisoned. Soon there
after another big blue-coated burly mem
ber of the same company codcluded to
"clean out the town." He was seized by
a policeman, but being a much stronger
man physically, succeeded in wresting
himself away fiom tHo young officer and
made his escape to the Fort. During the
excitement down town, some person went
to the guard hoase, knocked off the door
and lock and liberated Carter and he es
caped to the Fort.
Upon being Informed of the escape of
the prisoner. Mayor Wallace sent the city
marshal and a deputation of two or three
assistants across the sound to the camp
and requested Col. Youug to surrender
the soldier into their hands for trial. This
request was complied : with and Green
Carter was brought back and tried. He
was convicted and . sentenced to pay
a fine of 40 or go to jail for 60 . days
During the interim Charles Shep
herd, of Morehead, accused of assisting
the other soldier (who bore the name of
Abernethy), to escape, was arrested and
tried.-He was also convicted and sen
tenced to pay a fine of $30 or go to jail
to 30 days. Not being able to pay the
fine, the marshal was instructed to take
Green over to jail, and on the way to stop
at the can p and give the officials at the
camp the option of paying his fine for
him. On the arrival of the party at the
camp, they were surrounded by several
hundred negroes, and it was evident that
they intended to rescue their negro com
rades and mob the officers. The latter,
therefore, on the advice of Col. Young
who said he would have them adequately
punished turned the condemned
me a over to the military authori
ties.
Such advices as that given by Young
was evidence that he had no power avail
able to control the angry, resentful, sav
age mob under his command. It was a
confession of his weakness and an endor
sement of their lawlessness. If he had
any disposition to prevent trouble be
tween the men under his command, he
would not allow them to come over here
by scores, by fifties, and. until one or two
hundred were marching up and down the
principal streets of the city, insolently de
fying the authority of our city govern
ment and insulting our citizens by their
impudence and offensive language : and
conduct Col. .Young should allow no
squad of men to leave the camp unac
compained by a commissioned officer,
and under no circumstances should they
be allowed to loiter around the town and
drink whiskey. They are becoming an
intolerable nuisance, and if not restrain
ed will cause much trouble in this local
ity.

Raleigh News and Observer, 17th inst.
The Populist State Ex'ecutive Commit
tee met in the court house yesterday af
ternoon at 5:30 o'clock and after a ses
sion of an hour and a half adjourned to
meet at 8:30. The night session lasted
until 11. Nothing was done in the after
noon session beyond a mere general dis
cussion of the situation.
There was a noticeable disinclination
on the part of members of the committee
to talk, which tendency Z.T. Garrett, the
McKinley postmaster at Henderson voic
ed when he declared, "We ain't given'
out no news."
The State central committee and the
executive committee met together. Of
the central committee there were present:
Chairman Cyrus Thompson; J. B. Lloyd,
of Edgecombe; Z. T. Garrett, of Vance,
Hal. W. Ayer, of Wake. Of the execu
tive committee there were present: First
district, Harry Skinner and Theo. White
by proxy; second, R. B. Kinsey; third,
McCarthy and E. M. Cole; fourth, S. Otho
Wilson and James Amos, by proxy, fifth,
A. S. Peace; sixth, S. A. Edmunds; sev
enth, Jno. A. Sims; eighth, R. A. Cobb;
ninth, A. D.. Wallace.
The committee was practically unani
mous in favor of fusion with the Repub
lican party, though there was a minority
in favor of making a straight fight. This
minority was overawed and made no open
opposition to the. fusion policy ofj the
majority.
Prominet members ot the committee
stated last night that no resolution look
ing to fusion with Republicans was in
troduced, though the expression of opin
ion from the individual members of the
committee .were free and all favored
fusion.
The policy of the party was commit
ted to the hands of the central commit
tee, to which was added Harry Skinner,
A. S. Peace, and S. A. Edmunds, this en
larged central committee constituting a
conference committee which would ar
range the details of fusion with the Re
publican leaders.
This, of course, was equivalent to a res
olution favoring fusion. The conference
committee will have charge of all matters
looking to fusion .
Harry Skinner, and Hal. W. Ayer are
understood to have been the controlling
spirits on the floor and to have urged
most strongly the necessity of taking im
mediate steps to come to terms wi'h the
Republicans. The facetious member de
nied that they were the "leaders" of the
fusion majority, but merely said they
"acquiesced in the action of the co u
mittee."
Members were not inclined to discuss
the attitude of the committee as a triumph
for Skinner over Butler, but it was evi
dent that they so reearded it. They did
not gainsay that the addition of Skinner
to the central committee iu its capacity
as a conference committee practically
made him the dictator of the party poli
cy in the coming campaign .
Cleared of all garnishing the action of
the committee may be summed np as fol
lows: A conference committee was ap
pointed and empowered to arrange f vision
with the Republican party on the best
terms possible; this the committee will
proceed to do as soon as convenient.
One of the most noticeable features of
the meeting was the absence of any en
thusiasm, none of the members, despite
the affirmed unanimity of the committee,
seemed to be brimming over with cheer
ful u ess. They named large majorities
for the fusion candidates, but there was
little fire in the eye or confidence in the
voice when it was done.

make arrangements for fusion in order to

Xfgro Supremacy.
Clinton Democrat.
The fopulist papers ot the state seem
to delight in ridiculing the Democratic
party for its defense ot white supremacy
iu North Carolina, and would have the
people believe it is a scare-crow set up by
the Democrats and is not worthy of con
sideration. It is remarkable how rapidly
some people change their position on im
portant questions. On July the 14th,
1892, the Caucasian had the following
editoriol in it:"Whatever differences may
exist among North Carolinans over ques
tions of National policy there should be
none in the State were Anglo-Saxon rule
and good government is the paramount is
sue. . .
Thus in 1392 the Caucasian considered
white supremacy as the paramount issue
in North Carolina. Since that time ne
groes have been put in almost every im
aginable office in the State and, the ques
tion is of more vital importance to us to-
oay man ever oetore. 11 it was wiong
for them to do so in 1892 it is wrong for
them to do so in 1898. It is a principal of
the Democratic party and one which
should be defended alike by both Demo
crats and Populists.
that the American republic has proved
herself grander than even her friends
claimed.
E. Cornelly, in writing in the Figaro.
says that the United States is a real de
mocracy and a veritable republic. He
admires the wisdom which pre-arranged v.
that the President should become a sort
of absolute monarch in moments of na
tional danger from the outside.
The Echo ed Paris says: "The Yankees
are no longer a nation of cultivators and
merchants, since they have shown us a
sort of infatuation for their free America.
They are august."
The writer then looks ahead and sees
dangers In plenty. He says that the
signature of peace is simply the dropping
of the curtain for the prologue of the
drama, of which the denouement is un
known, "as America, being diffeient
from Europe, now wishes to prove herself
superior."
The Soleil say?: "If Spain still keeps
troops in the Philippines it will be for the
United States; if Spain continues to regu
late affairs in the archipelago it will be
under the surveillance and control of
Amencaua. In the hands of America,
Manila, with its magnificent bay, will be
come the rival of Hong Kong. The in
stallation of the Americans at Manila gives
them the preponderating influence in the
China sea."
From these quotations it Is evident that
it is good form here just now to walk
with the American procession. . There is
a general idea that the United States has
become a power to be dealt with carefully.
