THREE WHITES WOUNDED.
Republican Officials Resign and
Hon. A. M. Waddell Elected
Mayor-Quiet Restored at Night
Full Account ofthe Most
Memorable Day in tbe History
or the City by the Sea.
Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 10. The
storm that has been threatening Wil
mington broke in iury to-day. White
meu asserted their supremacy firmly.
The city has been ringing with rifle
shots, but to-night all is quiet. The
work seems to be done-
At least eight negroes were killed and
Scores of them wounded. Their names
are not known. "
No white man was killed, but three
were wounded. These are:
William Mayo, shot in the side, per
haps fatally.
Bert Chadwick, wounded in arm.
George Pizer, slightly hurt.
At night the city is in the hands of a
new municipal government and law and
order are being established.
The Republican board of alderman re
signed one by one in the afternoon. As
each alderman vacated, the remaining
members of the board elected a succes
sor, named by the citizens' committee of
twenty-five, until the entire board was
changed legally. The Republican mayor
resigned in response to public sentiment.
The new board is composed of conserva
tive Democrats.
WADDELL TAKES THE EELV AS MAYOR.
The Republican mayor, Dr. S. P. Wrig ht
and his chief of police, J. R. Melton, then
resigned, and the new board of alder
men elected their successors, according to
law. Ex-Congressman A. M. Waddell,
chairman of the citizens', committee of
twenty-five, was elected mayor, and E.
Q. Parmelee, chief of police.
The first act of the new government
was to swear in 259 special policemen.
chosen from the ranksof reputable white
men. They are vested with all the au
thority of the law, and took charge of
the city. The citizens will re-nain on
guard, however, to prevent possible at
tempts at incendiarism.
The new government will devote its
attention to preventing recklessness
among the whites a3 well asVJieeping
down lawlessness among the negroes.
Further trouble of a general or serious
nature is not expected.
AN ANSWER THAT CAME TOO LATE.
The day V excitement began at 7.30
o'clock in the morning. That hour was
the time limit named by the mass-meeting
of white men held last night, which
conferred with leading colored men and
told them that A. L. Manly, editor of the
Record, the col red. daily newspaper
here, which had published an editorial
reflecting on white women, m 1st leave
town, and the press in the Record build
ing must als ) be removed from Wilming
ton. The colored men were given uutil
7.30 a- m. to answer.
At the hour fixe'cV-fl'o answer had been
received, though it turned out that one
had been sent through the mail to ex
Congressman Waddell. The answer was
as follows:
"We, the colored citizens to whom was
referred the matter of the expulsion from
this community of the person and press
of A. I.. Manly, beg most respectfully to
say that we are in nowise responsible lor,
nor in any manner condone the obnox
ious article that" called forth your ac
tions. Neither are we authorized to act
for him in this matter, but in the interest
of peace we will most willingly use our
influence to have your "wishes carried
out.
"Very respectfully,
"The Committee op Colored CIT
IZENS." This answer did hoS reach Mr Wad
dell through the mail until after the
Record building had been destroyed.
NEGRO EDITOR'S OFFICE BURNED.
The answer not being received and the
white men not kno wing that it had been
sent, they began at 7.30 a. m. to assemble.
By 8.30 o'clock 1,000 whites had gathered.
They marched to tbe Record building and
destroyed all material found in it. Manly
had left the city..
The building took fire, but some say
this was accidental. Those in command
of the white men state that they had no
intention of firing it.
As soon as it was disco veied that the
building was on fire the leaders sent for
engines and the flames were confined to
the office of theReco.d. On the south
only 20 feet distant, is SL Lukes, one of
the largest negro churches in the city,
and on the north, within 13 feet, is a
frame building occupied by negroes. The
Record building is a wreck, being almost
totally burned.
The police force had disappeared and
no effort was made to command order.
Every man was law unto himself, with a
Winchester on his shoulder. Nearly the
whole white male population wa3 soon on
the streets, guns in hands.
White women and children took refuge
in parts of the city remote from the ne
gro houses, and some remained in tbe
First Baptist church, which was opened
for their shelter.
NEGROES SAID TO HAVE FIRED .FIRST.
Soon after the burning of the Record
building there was great commotion
among the negroes. The rumor ; spread
that the whites were going to burn and
murder in the negro quarters.
This rumor reached the 350 negro em
ployees of a cotton compress, who quit
work and huddled about the streets in
manifest terror. Other parties congre
gated in the negro section, and it was in
one of these that the first tragedy was
enacted. The men were standing on a
corner and were ordered to disperse. They
declined, and, it is said, fired into the
whites.
A fusilade was opened upon them by
the whites and three negroes were killed.'
Two whites were wounded slightly.
MAYO'S ASSAILANT KILLED.
One negro ran down the street and
passing a residence, fired a rifle at William
Mayo, w hite, who was standing on the
veranda, shooting him through the left
lung. This negro was recognized, pur
sued and captured whtle hiding under a
bed. He was riddled with shot by Jhis
captors. By this time the whole city was
in a state of excitement , The whites
rushed to the scene from every direction,
the local mi utary company was ordered
out aud a battalion of naval militia pro
ceeded to the vicinity of the trouble with
a rapid-fire gun.
About 1 'clock, in the afternoon some
negroes in a house fired upon a passing
party of white men. The house was
surrounded and four negroes were cap
tured and taken to jail. One negro broke
away and ran, but was shot and killed
before he had proceeded half a block.
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED.
Martial law was declared an Lieut
Col. Walker Taylor, commanding the
State military, took charge of the city.
The Colt rapid-lire gun which had been
bought by white citizens for use in an
emergency was mounted cn a wagon and,
with a mounted escort, moved to differ
ent part3 of the city. ; White men guard
ed every block and corner, held up every
negro on the streets and searched him
for arms.
QUIET CAME AT NIGHT.
As night fall the city was completely
patrolled and guarded. Few negroes
were on the streets and they were not al
lowed to congregate. Quiet prevailed.
Citizens and soldiers were patrolling eve
ry block as a precaution against negro
incendiarism!
Many of the ringleaders among the
negroes are under arrest and in jail
Mutterings of lynching were heard, but
Mayor Waddell says he will protect every
prisoner with every soldier at his com
mand. He himself headed a guard armed
with rifles which is guarding-- the pris
oners. Five thousand men from near-by places
in North, and South Carolina offered their
services by wire during the day. Fay
etteville, N. C, sent down seventy-five
men, but the white people are fully
able to cope with the situation.

Cured at Last!
Do Not Give Up in De
spair There is Hope!
For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affliction have' con
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten d of , and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured bj the surgeon's
knife bec". blood can not be cut
away. '"-' . .
"Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. It refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tori treated it for quite a while but
were unable to do her any good, and
finally pronounced it Cancer of a most
malignant type. We were greatly
alarmed and gave her every remedy
recommended, but they did not seem
to reach the disease, and it continued
to spread and grow. Upon the advice
of a friend she began to take S. S. S.,
and after a few bottles had been used
a decided improvement was noticed,
and continuing the remedy she waa
cured completely and the permanence
of the cure has been proved, as no sign
ol the disease has
returned, though ten
years have elapsed,

ENFORCING ORDER.
A Aegro ia Jail Boasted That Ue
Wonld Wash Ills Hands in
- White Men' Blood Before Day
break.
Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 11". (1 a. m.)
The conditions are til strained. Some
say the show of force alone preven ts and
uprising araocg the negroes
It must not be underst xxl that irre
sponsible men are at the head r of this
movement to overturn a worthless . gov
ernment, but the best citizens are thor
oughly aroused to the necessity. ; Every
thing has been done open and above
board, without the slighest effort at con
cealment. '
A negro was challenged by a guard
late at night, but refused to halt, and was
shot as he advanced.
Leading negroes are now in jail.' One
boasted that he would wash his hands in
a white man's, blood before daybreak.
He came near being killed instantly .
Lockey, a lawyer, who has led the ne
groes, cannot be found. The principal
deputy sheriff, George Z. French, has
left the city and has resigned his office.
He went on the north-bound train at 7
p. m., and it was only through the exer
tions of ex-Sheriff Stedman that he was
saved.
French was a sutler in Sherman's ar
my. Settling here, he became a member of
the Legislature. It is alleged that in a
speech in the House he said he would
like to spin a rope to hang every .demo
crat intNorth Carolina.
The only negro left in office is Charles
Norwood, register of deedj. His face has
been almost blanched with fjar.
The apprehension of further trouble
has caused many to send their families
away, and the trains going North, South
and West have been crowded. Hundreds
of armed men have come into the city,
and the streets are alive with the tread of
white men.
The part of the city in which the lar
gest number of negroes reside lies to the
north and is separated by the railr jad
tracks, wnicb are in a deep cut spanned
by two bridges. At tbe main bridge is
slatioued a rapid-fire gun under the com
mand of Capt. William R. Keenan, ex-
collector of the port. Behind him is the
Wilmington Light Infaaty, 80 strong,
and t ie NaVal Militia, 60 strong, with two
Howitzeis
It is known that the negroes are well
armed, and they have boasted that they
would have satisfaction out of the whites.
Negro women have been heard to say
that they would use the torch and poison.
The negro men have been drilling night
ly, and arms were found in the office of
the Record when it was demolished.
The sympathy of this State and of South
Carolina and other States' is with the
white people in their effort to rid them
selves of a dreadful incubus. None but
they who have seen it and felt it can real
ize what these people have passed
through. Determination is how plainly
apparent to accomplish the object sought
but it is equally as well seen that the lea
ders in the movement will suppress law
lessness and excess.
It would have taken but little encour
agement to have enacted a fearful mas
sacre, but the colored leaders are alone
marked out and must seek other points.
No negroes can be seen upon the
streets tonight. Armed men a re at every
corner, with instructions to arrest any
one who fires a gun. No drunken men
have been seen except several federal
soldiers, who joined in the demolition of
the Record office.
All bar-rooms are closed until next
Monday morning, and even the members
of the swell clubs find themselves de
prived of their appetizers, the buffets
being closed. It is not probable at this
hour that further trouble will come tonight.

Russell received a telegram this afternoon
from Lieut-Col. Walker Taylor, of the
Second State Guard Regiment at Wil

critical there and that he held the mili
tary waiting the Governor's order.
Lieutenant Commander George L. Mor

upon order of the sheriff he had put the
Wilmington division ol that organization
on duty to preserve the peace. He was
notified of approval of his action and was
directed to report to Lieutenant-Colonel
Taylor. Captain James, of the Wilmihg
ton infantry company, waa given simi
lar orders.
Soon afterword came a telegram stating
that there was pressing need of more
troops and the Governor then ordered
the Kingston Divison of Naval Milita
and infantry Companies from Maxton and
Clinton to hasten to Wilmington and re
port to Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor.
Colonel Bruton, of the Second Regi
ment, telegraphed from Wilion that
was not sate to move the Wilson co
pany. This was because there were rio
tous demonstrations at Wilson last night
and mc re were feared. Arransrements
were made for transportation for the
companies ordered to move and they
were all on the way to Wilmington at 8
p. in.
At night the Governor received the fol

Taylor, at Wilmington; '.- v

Editorial Reflecting on White
Women Which Was Published
in the Negro Newspaper at
Wilmington.
Wilmington, N. C, Nov, 10. The fol
lowing is the most obnoxious extract
from Editor A. L. Manly's editorial in
the Daily Record, the colored newspaper
here, which was in large par the cause
of scenes enacted here to-day: -f
"We suggest that the whites guard
their women more closely, thus giving
no opportumty for the human fiend, be
he white or black. Tou leave your goods,
out of doors and then complain because
they are taken away.
"Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protecting their women, espe
cially on farms. They are careless cf
their conduct toward them, and our ex
perience among poor white people in the
country teaches m that the women of that
race are not any more particular in the
matter of clandestine meetings with col
ored men thau are the white men with
colored w tnen. Meetings of this kind
go on for some time until the woman's in
fatuation or the man's bldne3s bring at
tention to them and the man is lynched
for rape.
"Every negro lynched is called a 'big
burly black brute,' when, in fact, many
of those who have thus been dealt with
had white men for their fathers ard were
not only not black and burly, but were
sufficiently attractive for white girls of
culture and refinement to fall in love with
them, as is well known to all."
MANLY IN ASBURY PARK.
A Negro Who Was Supposed to

Norfolk, Van Nov. 12. A negrogiviag
his name as George W. Brown who ar
rived here to-day from Wilmington, N.
C, via Newbern and Elizabeth City, was
attacked and badly beaten in the post
office this afternoon by several young
men, who, it is said took him to be Manly,
the negro editor who was driven out of
Wilmington Thursday. A special officer
went to the negro's rescue. The patrol
wagon was dispatched to the scene and
Brown carried to Police headquarters for
safe keeping. He claims New York as
his home and will be sent there to-night.
Brown says that he came to Norfolk
to-day on the same train with the assist
ant chief of police, a justice of the peace
and another white man, who were com
pelled to leave Wilmington. It was stated
to-day that Manly was m Norfolk, but
the police department made an investiga
tion and found this to be untrue. He is
said to be in Asbury Park, N. .

"The two worst enemies that
North Carolina has in this great cri
sis of tbe white citizens of the btate
are Jeter Pritchard, United States
Senator from North Carolina, and
Dan Russell, Governor of North
Carolina."
We find the above in a contempo
rary. It was written aua pnntea
before the elections. Yes, Pritch
ard and Rnssell are bad enough in
all conscience, and so are Thompson,
Holton, Aver and all the other lead
ers of the fusion deviltry. But we
desire to go on record here and now
as saying that we have had little pa
tience with the pohcy of the cam
paign which has sought to place all
tbe infamy on rritchad and Kussell
et al. and their-ignorant negro dupes,
while tbe very chief of them all
the most infamous of them all
Marion Butler, is allowed to go prac
tically without blame. The others
are bad enough, God knows, and the
wrongs they have done the State
should and will haunt them to their
graves, but we believe in giving even
the devil his dues aud in placing
the responsibility where it belongs.
Every man of intelligence in the
State knows that Butler is responsi
ble for the conditions which now
exist and which have existed in the
State for four years'. The others
have given assistance to the best of
their ability, it is true; but surpass
ing all of them in abijjty and capac
ity to engineer and promote the ends
which gave the f usionists success, he
worked out the plot to its successful
conclusion and to him is due the in
famy of its success.
It was Marion Butler who, by per
sistently and assiduously instilling
prejudice and hate into a portion of
the people whose coundence he had
succeeded in winning, divided the
white people in '92. It was he who,
step by step, led his forces into a co
alition with the Republicans and
negroes in 94 and thus elected
Pritchard to-the Senate and Russell
Governor. It was Butler who real-
alizing that the conditions which he
had brought about in North Caroli
na: realizing that the honest white
people of the State of all parties
would not Ions tolerate the infamous
dynasty which he had set up, but
would come together and overthrow
it; and knowing that if it was over
thrown he would be crushed in its
ruins it was Butler who soiight by
Overtures last spring to unite with
the Democrats on condition that he
be allowed to dominate them as he
had dominated and traded upon his
handful of followers.
When his proposition was scorned
Butler, filled with veuom and hate,
went up and down the State in this
campaigu and made the meanest
speeches by far thatauy white man
has made in Aorth Carolina, l os
sessed of all the arts of the dema
gogue, filled with insatiable ambi
tion, greed, malice, hatred and re
venge, he used every means within
his power to so incite and inflame
his followers that they would once
again vote with the negroes and the
Republicans to keep in power the
infamous gang which now controls
the State, and to humble the Demo
crats and if possible bring them to
his ( Butler s) feet.
To him good government in North
Carolina is nothing; to him the ab
olition of trnst3, free silver and the
other things of which he prates so
glibly are nothing. He uses them
only as part and parcel of his
scheme. Proclaiming that he is for
white supremacy, he would see ev
ery county in the State dominated
by negroes rather than surrender
one of bis own selfish schemes. As
a brazen hypocrite, as an utterer of
falsehoods and slanders against men
tbe latchet of whose shoes he is un
worthy to loose, he has no equal in
all the history of North Carolina,
and if future history be correctly
written future generations will be
taught that of all the sons of North
Carolina who have attained promi
nence Butler alone reached the very
acme of iufamy.
These are the facts about this man
who, to the disgrace of North Caro
lina, holds a seat iu tbe United
States Senate, and no intelligent
man iu thejState can successfully
deny them.

A UEVOLCTIOS IX KANSAS.
Populism ReeiTM a Knock-Out
Blow in the State Where It Wm
Born.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9. Kansas haa
elected the entire republican State ticket
and a republican majority of the Legisla
ture on joint ballot. The election practi
cally wipes out of existence the populist
party in Kansas.
The rural districts, which have been
the strongholds of populism, turned
against that party and went republican
almost without exception. The populists
made gains in the cities and to whs on
account of the-growth of the anti-prohibition
sentiment. Returns received from
the rural districts to-day give the State to
the republicans by 20,000 plurality.
Kansas is the birthplace and home of
populism, and the party is thus repudiat
ed by its own founders. There ia talk
among ?he fusion leaders of consolidating
the populists with the Democratic party
under the name of the latter. The plan
will be submitted to VV. J. Bryan and a
national conference will probably be
called. The movement is yet in embryo,
but it gives promise of assuming definite
shape. y

The Result in North C ro
ll 11 a.
Atlanta Constitution.
News from North Carolina at a
late hour this morning shows that
the Democrats have been successful
in rescuing their State from the aw
ful evils of negro domination. It
is to be regretted that the white peo
ple so far forgot themselves in the
first instance as to permit their
State to fall away from the control
of tbe intelligent voters and property-owners.
There was but one way
to accomplish such a result, ancTthe
malignant politicians took full ad
vantage of it.
In the first place, the white farm
ers of the State were deceived by the
Populist movement. That move
ment was described as an improve
ment on Democracy and in the vain
hope of obtaining relief by means
of the new organization a great
many farmers deserted their own par
ty aud placed themselves under the
leadership of the most selfish and
reckless set of politicians the coun
try has ever seen. Some of the far
mers, in the course of events, saw
the folly and dauger of the new
movement and returned to the Dem
ocratic party. Perceiving that such
defections would most likely in
crease instead of diminish the reck-
less"leaders advocated fusion with
the Kepublican. Men who claimed
to be more Demociatic than the
Democrats themselves were keen to
join the Republicans in an effort to
secure the omce3.
In a little while the fusion wa3 a
success and then came the division
of the spoils. In North Carolina,
as in Georgia, the Republican party
is a negro party, and the negroes se
cured the bulk of tbe offices. It is
not necessary to go into details. The
result in xsorth Carolina was what
might have been predicted where ig
norance, irresponsibility and dis
honesty join in the administration
of public affairs, bpoliation, cor
ruption, recklessness and total disre
gard for the present or future wel
fare of the State have marked the
course of negro domination iu North
Carolina.
The intelligence and property of
that State need make no apology or
explanation for the lengths they
have had to go in ridding the State
of this form of political pollution
There is not a State in the North
where the people would have sub
mitted to such conditions for three
months. Tbey would have inaugu
rated a revolution in less time, than
that; whereas, the people of North
Carolina have displayed a won
derful amount of patience and self
con trol.
Now that the Democrats are in
control they should take prompt
measures to prevent a repetition or
the disgraceful experience through
which they have passed; and they
should remember, too, that the ne
groes are far less to blame for their
attitude and the part they have taken
in the State than the white men who
have acted as their leaders and ad
visers.

The result of last Tuesday's election
has brought so many things to be thank
ful for that one hardly knows where to
begin in enmerating them. But one of
the chiefest of the blessings after the
election of a Democratic Legislature,
which is the first and foremast thing to be
thankful for, is the election of the Demo
cratic judicial ticket. Among the curses
inflicted cn us by fusion were a number
of incompetent and immoral judges. Some
of these were elected four years ago and
will of course continue in office four
years longer. But it is gratifying to.know
that others as bad are not to be foisted
on us. The judges elected last Tuesday
are clean men and men of standing in the
legal profession, who will honor and not
disgrace the high office to which they
have been called. Statesville Landmark.

Panic Stricken Xcgroes.
Wilmington Messenger.
The most distressful circumstance in
connection with the riot, so far as the
negroes are concerned, resulted from the
panic among these people. Women and
children and men fled to the woods by
the thousands ou Thursday and Friday.
The roads were lined with themisome
carrying their bedding on their heads and
whatever effects could be carried. It was
pitiable to see the children hurrying on
right after their parents. People who
come into the city from the country re
ports that these terror-stricken negroes
slept in the woods. Thursday aud Friday
nights. They huddled around without
any protection overhead and "many had
nothing but the ground to sleep ; upon.
Many fled without taking a quilt or blan-.
ket, so that most of them had no cover-.
ing, although ihe wheather is yet mild.
It is sufficiently cool, however, to cause
suffering, and this added to the fact that
they had little or nothicg to eat made
their condition pitiable. In their hunger
and distress, the people in the country as
sited them as much as they could. They
tried to induce the refugees to come bark;
to the city, but they would not hear to
it. The most alarming reports went out
to them about the slaughter of negroes in
the city, and in fact, the telegraph car
ried out the most wildly exaggerated
messages. Some of the negroes are com
ing back to the city and report their ex
perience as awful. They say that if they
had known the whites would have pro
tected them with their guns they would
have not taken to the woods. The fact
is ali negro men, women and children
who came into the centre of the city were
given protection, The whites armed to
protect their homes and maintain order
and not to shootunoffending negroes. A
great mang negroes are still in the coun
try and crowds are biviouaced along the
railroads, so we are informed by railroad
men. "5 1-

Chatham Citizen.
One result of the great Democrat
ic victory in North Carolina will be
the passing away of the Pepulist
party in this State, just as it had al
ready almost ceased to exist in all
the other Southern States? And f or
the destruction of the Populist par
ty in this State its selfish aud un
principled leaders are responsible.
Tbey used that party, and tried to
use "both the old parties," for their
own promotion and for the selfish
advancement of their personal in
terests. They were ready to trade
off, or sell out, the People's party to
cither of the old parties, and finally
succeeded in selling out to the Ke
publican party. Never before in
American politics has there been a
party with so many honest men in
its ranks with so large a number of
unprincipled leaders. All that these
leaders cared for was office, and after
getting fat offices they cared nothing
whatever for the principles of the
party which at first they so zealously
advocated. But they will be remembered!
