In the western counties the Republican
officials are all white, and the people up
there were slow to believe that the eas
tern counties in their own State had
been turned over io the negroes.
To show the extent of this domination
east and southeast of Raleigh, I will
give some example chosen at ran
dom; In Craven county there are twenty -six
negro magistrates, thirteen negro school
committeemen, four negro deputy sher
iffs, one county commissioner, one jailer,
two constables, one register of deeds, two
deputy registers of deeds, one coroner.

negro policemen, one city attorney, three
city attorneys, three city couucilmen, one
cemetary sexton, besides the negro engi
neer and other negroes employed in the
public buildings.
In Columbus county there are seven
teen mgroschool committeemen, five negro
magistrates and two negro postmas

Sirs. Jackson VisitsThe Hospital
. Train. -
The following incident of the stop at
Charlotte, N. C, of the Philadelphia hos
pital train, bound home; is given in the
Philadelphia Times:
"The most touching incident, and one
that will always be remembereJ by those
persons who were frtunhte enough to be
on board the hospital train, occurred at
Charlotte, N. C. When the train had
come to a stop a' lady dressed in deep
mourning and slightly bent by weight of
years made her way through the large
crowd toward the train. It was the wi
dow of the famous Confederate soldier,
Stonewall Jackson. One of the citizens
introduced the aged iady to a member of
the councilmanic committee and she
was invited to look through the train.
As the distinguished visitor walked
through the hospital cars herthin lips quiv
ered and her eyes moistened. She spoke
not a word to any of the soldiers, but had
a kindly smile for them all;
"She had lived through two bitter
wars, rjut this was a revelation to her.
She had never dreamed of seeing men
being taken to their homes in what is
practically a traveling hospital. Her visit
being over, she slowly retraced her steps
to her cosy home within a stone's throw
of the depot. Not one of the soldiers
knew who their distinguished visitor
was."

Since the Republicans and Populists
of Uni ju county fused quite a number of
honest Populists of the county have re
fused to be delivered over to the negroes
and have returned to the Democratic
party. The Monroe papera of last week
contained two letters from prominent
Populists of the county giving their
reasons tor refusing to be parties to the
unholy alliance. One of these letters'
was written by Esq. M. L. Flow, who for

Ma. Editor: i have always been ear
nestly concerned to" see the welfare of the
whole people promoted. With this end in
viow I joined the Populist party and sup
ported its principles with all my power,
and I yet believe that the principle 1 of Pop
ulism if carried ' practically into effect
would redound to the good of the whole
people. : It certainly was not in my mind,
neither do I believe that it was in the con
templation of nine-tenths of those who
connected themselves with it, tha". any ef
fort, direct or indirect, would be attempted
by the leaders to carry them bodily into the
Republican party. There is no use disguis
ing the fact, or trying to do so, for "it as
plain as the nose on your face" that un
scrupulous leaders and . pie-hunters, for
selfish personal ends, have seized the Third
party, and renouncing all principle, have
united with the Republican party whish is
directly antagnostic in principles.simply for
the purpose of defeating the Democratic
party, whose demands are almost identical
with those of the Third party. I cannot be
a party, even by silence, to such a crime
against thehope of good government, against
the original aim of the Third party, they
are now seeking to prostitute. As a citi
zen of Union county earnestly desirous of
her welfare, I can no longer take part or
stock in the political ends of these socalled
leaders of the Third party, and 1 beg alt of
my friends to withdt aw their support, and
stand up for "white supremacy," in North
Carolina. The Populist party was original
ly all right, and I had great hopes of it be
ing a blessing to the whole country, and 1
have remained in it several mouths,- since
the self, constituted leaders have oeen
seeking to carry it over to ruin, hop--ing
that conservative counsel would
check the mad "ravings and extreme
views of the leaders, but 1 am now-fully
convinced that the Third party is only a
tool and a thing iu the hands of political
prostitutes to carry out their selfish ends
and to get office. 1 have seen the unwis
dom of continual co operation with the
Republican party. It has brought the
State to the verge of degredation and ruin.
I wish to foster and build up our institu
tions, instead of tearing them dewn. I
think it high time for the Peoples' party to
stop trading for office and go to work on
the lines of material progress. We have
by foolish agitatation and co-operation, or
fusion, stifled the development of the State
long enough. The clogs should now be re
moved from the wheels of progress. If
the next Legislature will devote itself to
correcting abuses and reforming the laws
that have kept immigration aad capital
from the State it wilt have en ugh to keep
it buy the entire 6J days. 1 think all the
demands of the Third party can be had
through the Democratic party, therefore, 1
for one, sink or swim, su.vive or perish,
will iu the future stand by the old Demo
cratic party, for white supremacy in N. C,
the only hope of good government and free
institutions. Respectfully, v
M. L Fr.ow. .

The other letter was written by Mr. S
WStewart. Here it is: : .
Fellow Citizens of the Populist Party: I
have always been an earnest aud strong
advocate of the principles of Jefferson ian
Democracy and was allied with the Demo
cratic party in trying to embody these great
principles into laws, by which the people
should be governed, unlil Presideut Cleve
land was elected and inaugurated iuto the
presidential chair in 1S9 J. I believed then
and still believe that he was a vile traitor to
the people who elected him, and concluded
that he was. at the head of the Democratic
party that the party under his leadership'
had drifted away from the great funda
mental principles of Democracy. 1 was
honest iu my . convictions, aud when the
Populist party arose and embodied within
its platform these great principles from
which the Democratic party had strayed,. 1
said it was the duty of every honest man to
leave the Democratic organization and join
the Populist , party. I did it and have
fought the enemy with atl the power of my
nature until 1 found the party with which I
was standing-was beginning to lose its
course and was heading its way to that
dark land of , RepuDlicanism, . where if
once landed we will be shorn of all honesty
of priuciple and will be classed among the
vicious human vampires who are sucking
the very life blood from our once beautiful
and lovely homes. What shall we do?
Fellow citizens, hear me! If we have
one spark of patriotism yet within our
hearts, if we have one drop of honest
blood flowing in our veins, if we love our
noble sons and beautiful daughters, and
cherish the admonition of our gray -haired
fathers and mothers, let us stop, pause, ami
consider, before we pass over the Rubicon
Jjet us return to the great Democratic par
ty and continue to fight for the lights of
white, free men. Let us no longer be led
by the Populist pie hunters away from the
principles we so dearly love 1 tell you
my bocest Populist friends, the Republi
can dagger has been drawn and the dieot
fate seems doubtful.
The time has.cotue for every decent white
man to buckle on .the armor. There are
many issues to meet with the encmy,but the
great and paramount one is negro suprema
cy. Shall we, dare' we, pusilanimoody sur
render our rights without one noble effort
upon our part to redeem this fair old North
State of ours from Republican misrule and
negrodomination. Let us once again give
the reins ot our government into t he hands ofJ
the while people of the State. Then you
will see the dark clouds that overshadow us
pass away .and the bright sunshine of peace,
prosperity aud happiness will shine once
again throughout our once peaceful and
happy homes. .
Yours for white supremacy,

i Editor Free Press: It is doubt
less beet for a minister.of the Gos
pel to be as uon-partisan iu bia poli
tics as possible. This policy I have
heretofore and will continue to. pur
sue, bnt it has come to a pretty pass
in our town when onr white daugh
ters can't walk the streets, free from
the insults that a-trippling negro
girl, as black as the ace of spades;
much younger than themselves, is to
heap upon them.
In front of my door to-day I had
to go to the rescne of a . respectable
white girl, who was attacked by one
of the little coons,with all the daring
and gravity of a lord over his slave,
and, even without provocation, as I
could struck the white girl, the
daughter of a respectable but help
less widow of our town.
I want to ask my fellow -citizens
whither this tendency will lead, if
white men are to coutinue to commis
sion it? . .
I must confess that it made my
very soul sick. C. W. Blanchakd.
.The foregoing appeared -in the
Kiostou Free Press Saturday, Aug
ust 27tn. The editor of The Com
monwealth knows Mr. Blanchard,
and has known him from the days
of our youth. We know no truer,
manlier : man in North Carolina,
lie is au educated, Christain gentle
man, and being a minister of the
gospel he naturally feels a hesitancy
111 appearing in print relative to
such a matter, as may be seen by
reathng his card carefully; and he
would be one of the last men to com
municate his convictions to the pub
lic through the newspapers witout
good reasons for so doing.
The whole truth of the matter
is ahis: Appointment of the colored
people to public office has come to
be so common a thing by the present
Republican rule, national and Stale,
that it has turned the head 'of the
entire negro race; the evidences of
which may be seen . 'elsewhere, than
in Eiukston and by others , than a
Baptist minister.
liace clash is to be deplored, but
when a quiet and prudent and con
servative minister of the gospel feels
called upon to denounce the bold
impudence of even colored females
in front of his gate, ana appeal to
hisfellow-citizens to take cognizance
of its tendency, it is time for all
white people to begin to make effort
to stop it. ... , , ...
A return of the Democratic party
to power will stop it, and nothing
else will. : Bear this in mind, good
people, and work accordingly from
now until .November.

If the Texas cotton crop of 1898 reach
es 3,500,000-bales, all former records
will be broken. Time was when the en
tire cotton section of the country pro
duced not, so much, . as men yet living
can remember. Of course, the price is
lower than we would like to hsve it, but,
thanks to diversification of crops, Texas
can make money this year on 5 cent cot
ton. The farmers have "lived at home"
to a greater extent than heretofore. The
grain crops have been greater than ever,
bog-raising is on the increase, and with
plenty of corn for fattening purposes will
continue to expand; cattle feeding has
become a great industry, the lumber in
dustry is reviving, and, in fact, prosper
ity in all avocations is promised The
cotton , crop, however, is the . greatest
money crop, and from this source alone
the State will receive something like
J 100,000,000, counting the seed, of
which there will be over 2,000,00a tons.
It would indeed be difficult to estimate
the sum total of Texas products this
year, counting-the cotton, grain, beef,
wool, sheep, lumber, . bogs, watermelons,
fruit, potatoes, sugar, vegetables, poultry,
dairy products, the value of this year's
crops cannot be far from $3 50,000,000,
and, even then the possibilities of pro
duction have not been approached . All
this ts indicative of better times. The
cotton money will not hsve U be spent
for grain and bacon as heretofore, and it
can be utilized in various improvements.
which means general activity in all
branches of trade. These exceptional
conditions are very welcome, indeed, at
this time, for. the people of. the whole
State are ready to move away from the
stagnation of the past. ,Tbe good feeling

The Republican Executive Com
mittee was iu session yesterday at the
Park. Hotel. The Populist Steering
committee, . appointed to steer
through a fusion deal with the Ee-
Eublicans, was in session at the court
ouse.
The Populist committeemen came
in quietly. They did not wish the
public to know that they were pre
paring to consummate the bargain in
dishonor, the general terms of which
had already been agreed upon.
There are few members of the Pop
ulist committee who have not solemn
ly asserted within the past year that
under do circumstances . would they
ever again, vote the, Republican ticket.
There is not one. whose, principles,
if he has any, are not diametrically
opposed, at every point to the princi
ple! of the Republican, party, .if it
has, any. - Is it Any wonder that the
man .who is now preparing . to sell
out' his Dartv for; office, wishes no
fuss made about it?
Are these men the same who, a few
years, nay even a few t months ago,
cried loudly for the suppression, of
trusts and the free coinage of silver?
Th very same. They are preparing
to sell out the Popnlist voter with
oat his knowledge now and are quiet,
as they have need, to be. When the
trade, has been completed and . the
"details arranged;" when these choice
patriots have bargained to disgrace
their State farther, if they, be able;
when they have covenanted with the
apologists of rape to make white
womanhood afraid .. within oar . oor
ders; when their share of the loot has
bee contemptuously assigned them,
thev will go back to their constit
uents andraisethe cry they, have
been told to raise, month the base
falsehoods they have been told to
month.
Yon say tbet have been bought
witk a price. JSot so. T.her are
content with a chance to gamble.
They stake their ability to turn over
Worth Carolina to the negro, against
a few petty offices.
Ave doubt that any political cam
paiffn has ever been fought on the
lines of this one. When, before, did
men dare come before au . intelligent
people brazenly declaring that they
asked their suffrage, not front pnn
cipel, but in violation of principel,
not to secure good government, but
to make bad government more in
famous?

The trustees of Trinity College met at
that institution Tuesday to investigate
the charges recently made by Judge
Clark against Dr. Kilgo, the president of
the College, and with which our readers
are familiar. At a meeting of the trustees on
tee 13th of July Judge Clark offered to
make good his charges against TV. Eilgo
if allowed time to obtain evidence- , He
was given till the 80th of August to make
out his case. When the board met Judge
Clark challenged the jury (the board of
trustees) on the ground that nearly all of
them had already formed and expressed
an opinion that be was- guilty and Dr.
Kilgo innocent, and on the further ground
that they had already, at a former meet
ing, eondemnei htm and endorsed Kilgo.
This, Judge Clark thought, woukl prevent
the trustees from rendering sn impartial
decision in the case. The trustees took
the ground that they were broad enough
to decide according to the evidence, not
withstanding their predilections, aud
waived the judge's protest aside. The
hearing wss then gone, into and both
sides offered evidence. According to the
Raleigh News and Observer's report the
trial was a farce, pure and simple. Judge
Clark said that, being unable to compel
the attendance of witn esses ,he was unable
to offer all the testimony he desired, as
many persons who hsd talked freely to
him in private about Kilgo refused to
come forward and testify. A good deal
of the evidence offered by the judge was
ruled out. Dr. Kilgo's private stenog
rapher took the proceedings and the
trustees refused Judge Clark's request
to hsve the stenographer sworn or to al
low him to have a stenographer of his
own. The public and the newspaper
men were not allowed to be present at
the trial but the official report is to be
published.
The investigation was concluded late
Wednesday night and Dr. Kilgo was ex
onerated, which was expected, th e ver
dict being a forgone conclusion. Both
sides will now doubtless go into the
newspapers and fight it out ,

Kearly a Million Names on the
Roll aad They Were Last Year
Paid 114,57,S79.
Washington, Sept. 1. The
ing annual report of the Commissioner
of Pensions will show that the number of
pensions allowed during the past fiscal
year, including the war of 1812, was 56,-
737, of which 54,852 were for soldiers and
,885 for sailors. The number of pen
sioners on the rolls June SO, 1893, were
993,714; amount paid for peasions during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S93,
$144,657,879; average value of each pen
sions, fi31.7y.
Comparison shows that more pensions
for service in the civil war were granted
during the last fiscal year than were al
lowed during the entire four years of
Grant's second term, and the entire ad
ministration of President Hayes; that the
amount actually paid for army and navy
pensions during the fical year ending
une 30, 1S93, was largely in excess of
the amount paid either during the first
or second term of President Grant's ad
ministration and almost as much as was
paid during the entire four years of Pres
ident Hayes admiuistration.
JaUe Clark Side.
Charlotte Observer.
From an authentic socrce. The Obser
ver is enabled to present a part of Judge
Walter Clark's side. In the matter of the
recent trial of Dr. Kilgo at Durham. Judge
Clark says:
. 'The board refused to swear Dr. Kilgo's
stenographer, or to allow me to have one
at my own expense. The board rejected
sli evidence ot Dr. Kilgo'o speeches in
North Carolina, though I was requested
to present proofs of his record in North
Carolina, and of his unfitness. They re
fused to erter on th minutes that this
evidence had been offered or reject
ed.
"The board ordered 10,000 copies of the
minates to be gotten up by their stenogra
pher, to be published. They also passed
a resolution that no speeches except Dr
Kilgo's and Rev. Mr. Ogleaby's should
appear in the minutes. They refused to
let me speak, unless I promised not to
have my speech printed. I then got up
and left. Oglesby is their own praseca
tor.
' "It appeared by one of Kilgo's witness
es that Duke pays fSOO annually of Og
lesby's salary. , He is Duke's and. Kilgo's
pastor and was their prosecutor in the
recent trial.
' "Further, the noaro ordered all news
paper reporters oat oftbe room, includ
lag John R. Webster, a graduate of
Trinity and a Methodist and a witness
present under subpoena. It also appear
ed that in spite of a resolution of the Wes
tern North Carolina Conference in 1397
which Conference is a halt owner of
Trinity, condemning the manufacture,
sale and use of cigarettes, the college is a
partner in the cigarette business, having
f 130,000 (more thn one-half of its en
dowment) of the stock ot the cigarette
trust"

Warranted to Kill 500,000 Men

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
An aerial torpedo war machine, self-
elevating and self-propelling, capable
of carrying 20 men and over 25 tons of
ammunition and explosives, and with
a steering apparatus capable of directing
ing the beat in any direction against the
wind, no matter how high, is the latest
thing to which the attention ot the gov
ernment has been invited. The inventor
is P. W. Anderson, of this city, who has
been working upon the machine for 14
years.
Mr. Anderson does not claim much
for his aerial machine. He limits its
destructive powers to 500,000 men aud 200
modern warships per hour. He has also
invented a submarine boat which he
guarntees will descend 60 feet below the
surface and remain an indefinite length
of time. Forty-six knots an hour will be
its speed on the surface. The war ma
chine can be built ready for .action in two
months. If Spain only had 200 ships and
a half million of men lying around loose
somewhere, Uncle Sam might take up
with the Anderson war machine project.

"Nobody," said Col. Doekery in his
speech at Huntersville Monday, "need
tear I am going back on silver. I pledg
ed my dying father never to go back on
silver, the poor man's money." Th ere
was never perhaps in au history a more
dramatic incident than that to which the
colonel refers. The mind's eye can pic
turo Gen. Alfred M. Doekery on his dy
ing bed, calling his son Oliver to his bei
side and causing him to hold up his right
hand and swear entemal allegiance to
the free coinage of silver and gold at
the immemorial ratio of 16 to 1. There
may be certain frivolous and skeptical

like it understood that we believe every

We knew that there had been a great
turning from Populism back to the old
