I) .1 I : i. u I i MESSENGER - INTEElllGKCER. WADK.SUOKO, N'. C, JULY 26, IKX, JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publisher. TO THE VTI1ITK SIE OF AX- SON COUNTY. Refore another issue of this paper is pab- lisbed Hie battle of ballots, which will tie termiue whether while men are to rule North Carolina, or whether our good, old Mate is to be dominate by negroes, wilt have commenced. The issue to be derided by this contest is. well within the under Mandingof tbe humblest citizen- The only question involved is whether negroes shall lord it over while man, or whether they shall be ruled, in equity and justice, by the race that purchased this county with its blood, and developed it through many weary years of toil and suffering. It would scarcely seem possible that any white man could hesitate an instant as to where his duty lay in sach a contest, but that there are soma who are undecided is, alas, too true. It is to this class, parlica larly, that this is addressed. To them we make this last appeal, to stand w ith their own rase and not join in the effort that is being made to place the heel of the African on the neck ofhfi Anglo-Saxon Certainly nojuUwhile man eatl,wisb to see nisje inled by negroes In any "part of iwib Carolina, and it is useless to saythat even if the Amendment fails this will not Le the case, for in a large number ot coun ties in the eastern part of the State just such a condition has existed and w ill exist - again unless this righteous measure be comes the law of the land. Indeed, we have bad a taste of negro rule in this coun ty. Let it not be forgotten that two years ago a coal black negro was elected consta ble of Gulledge township and twootber ne groes, in the same township, were elected justices of the peace. It is true tlwae ne groes did not qualify and serve, but it was not because they did not want to, but because they were afraid to. When it became generally known that the township had been disgracedeby their election the white people rose en masse and waited on the negroes and gave them to understand that it would not be healthy for them if they undertook to have themselves inducted into office. Tbey took the hint and that was the last of it. But suppose they had been stubborn and persisted in their deter mination to exercise authority over their white neighbors? Isn't it as clear as any thing can be that there would have been blood-shed and a reign of terror In that section of the county ? It is to guard against the possibility of negro rule, in Auson county and in the entire State, that the Constitutional Amendment is designed. It will not dis franchise a isingte white man, however il -literate he may be, but it will rid the State of about 80,000 ignorant negroe votes. And the conclusion of the whole matter is that itistheboundendutyof every white man, regardless of former party affilia tions, to vote white in the election next Thursday. 1,000 MAJORITY. Anson county must not give less than J.,000 majority for White Supremacy in the election to be held next Thursday, the nd day of Angust. We say we must have this majority, but let it be under stood that it will not be a matter of child's play to get it. The hardest kind of work on the part of every believer in a white man's government for whU men is abso lutely necessary. Because our enemies are quiet let not the mistake be made that they are doing nothing. They have flooded the county with scurrilous and lying literature, and in numbers of other ways have been slyly active in sowing theseeds of suspicion and doubt in the minds of some white men: These white men must be seen and the truth made clear to them that no man who has a white skin will be disfranchised by the Amendment, and that it is intended only to eliminate the ignorant negro vote from the politics of the State. If this is done there will be no trouble about them they will vote with their white friends and neighbors, and against negro domination. ASKED TO MEDIATE. The Soldier That Never turaed, Editor Home and" Farm: Ro- LEUISLATCRE TO MEET AdSAIX. The Legislature met in adjourned session at Raleigh Tuesday at noon. Only a few members were present and the following resolution was almost immediately adopted by both Houses: "Resolved, by the House of Represen tatives, the Senate concurring, "That the General Assembly do now adjourn this the 24th day of July, 1900, to meet again ja the city of Raleigh on Monday, the 30th day of July, 1900, at 12 o'clock m." Before the adjournment of the Legis lature the Democratic members present held a caucus and adopted the following resolutions, which explain themselves: "Whereas, It is the sense of this caucas that the Legislature should hot now be finally, adjourned, because it is known at certain politicians in North Carolina are nlw engaged in a consp;racy to un lawfully Tnterfers.with, and, if possible, to prevent by judicial usurpation, the people from holding an election hereto fore duly and legally called to be held August a, and, "Whereas, It is our duty to the people of the State, whose representatives we are, to hold ourselves in a position to thwart this conspiracy and to protect the people in their constitutional rights, and to deal in such a manner as the law au thorizes with all such offlers of the State as may lend themselves to the furtheiance of this conspiracy. "Therefore, Be it resolyed, by the Dem ocratic members of the General Assem bly, in joint caucus: First, That the General Assembly, which meets to-day, adjourn to meet again July 30th. "Second, That at the said adjourned session, no legislation shall be passed changing in any way whatever the con stitutional amendment as submitted by the General Assembly at its session held in June last." The writer of this is an old Confederate soldier, and if my memory serves me right, it was m me spring or 1804 mat 1 was at home convalescing from an attntk of fever contracted while in camp. One morning. while taking a little ramble out from home, I was surprised to see approaching me oil horseback a man dressed in the foil uniform of a Federal officer. He was well equipped. with a good saddle and bridle, a carbine, a set of holsters and a horseman's sword. He had the appearance of a brave soldier and gentleman. You can imagine how I felt as he approached me. 1 bad no arms, and at first thought that he was the advance guard of the Federal army, but my embarrassment left me when we met, lor 1 saw that he was in search of a friend. He said his name was Webb. If he gave me his first name or initials I have forgotten them. He said his people lived in North Carolina, and that prior to the war he left his home for Illinois. When the war broke out, not thinking about his brothers and friends, he joined the Federal army, and later on learned that his brothers were all in the Southern army. After learning this, he said, he could not stand the thought of fighting against his broth ers, and therefore deserted the night before. ana was now trying to make his way to the Southern army. I told him the nearest body of Confederate soldiers was about thirteen miles away. He then said if 1 would pilot him through he would surren der everything he had to me. 1, not ap- prenenamg any danger on nis side, declin ed, but put him in the direct route, and there we parted good friends. After he had gone about three miles he passed a house where two vounsr men were at borne shoeing their horses. He made tne same offer to them that he had made to me. They also declined, telling him the way. He passed on and stopped within a few miles of the camp, when he met with a band of "bushwhackers." I don't know what passed between them, but a few days after a man came to camp with some of Webb's equipment, another riding the same horse that Webb was riding when we parted, I said to the one that had the pistols and sword: "How did you come bv these?" He said: "I got them a few days ago from a fellw who said he bought them from the man on the horse " He said that the man on the horse had killed the "Yank" and bid him under a clav root. This is ahnut all 1 know of the occurence. 1 don't remem ber the name of the county in North Caro lina where Webb said be formerly lived, but I think it was near the line of South Carolina, if any of his friends or family should read this-and wish to know any fuither particulars, they can write to me and I will gladly answer any questions. 1 ' U. 41.

Two years ago, when the fate of North Carolina was trembling in the balance, the Democrats appealed to the Populists and decent Republicans for help, assur ing them that their votss for good govern ment then would commit them to nothing as to the future; that there would be no attempt to put the Democratic uniform upon them and that they could, after the election, return to their former parties without Democratic reproaches This promise has been faithfully observed. It has been said to Populists and Republi cans in the present campaign that the amendment is not a political question; the Democrats have striven to keep it off party lines, and the Populist State con vention declared that each member of that party should determine his attitude toward it as an individual. It is not a political question, but an educational one, and one of government by the intelligent. Any man of any party can yote for it without waiying any part of his party in tegrity, and no man will do so without feeling the better for it afterward. And it would be worth something to the rep utation ot the State for intelligence and broad patriotism for one to be able to say after the election that this great and be neficent measure had been carried not by a party but by all parties. One thousand majority for Aycock and the Amendment is what we need and must have. White man, go to the polls at sunrise and work until it goes down and we will get it.

Butler Drove Him Vrnty. Reidsville Review. The Salisbury Truth says that Senator Marion Butler might have gazed at the de pot last Friday morning upon a poor de ranged hulk of what was one time a sane consecrated servaut of God. A man who has toiled for the salvation of souls until the winter of life has w hitened his hair and has gone at last to spend perhaps the re maining days of his life in solitude and wretchedness in the Morganton asylum. "God has given me a mission," said this unfortunate man. "that mission is to whip Marion Butler. 1 must do it, I must do it." he repeated. The gentleman referred to is Rev. James S. Dameron, of Rockingham county, a Bap tist minister of high standing in his county and a man who commanded the respeet of all who knew him Rev. Dameron is C4 years old but is yet a vigorous man. lie developed a strong an tipathy to Senator Marion Butler (most probably on account of Butler's enmity to the rule of while men in North Carolina) and the desire to avenge the State by visit ing physical punishment upon Butler is ever present. This Dog Steals for the Blind. Norfolk, Va., July 17th. A dog entered the jewelry store of IL W. Woodley this evening and stole two dozen silver spoons worth $30. The 8j.oon3, rolled irra flexibe case, were taken from the jeweller's safe. The dog accompanied two blind mendi cants, a man and woman, who had with them another dog, which pilot ed them about. He led the blind people by a chain into the stores while the loose dog, evidently train ed to steal, roamed abont in search of booty, which, once secured, he fled with and secreted. The dog was detected stealing the spoons, and a salesman and a crowd enrsued him, but the two dogs and the beg gars escaped. 1" The Emperor ort hina Requests the President to Act as Arbi trator The Emperor 1 Con scious That "The Object of the United States is International Commerce, and Hopes Mr. MeKinlex Will Devise Means to Brine About a Restoration -' of Peace ' Washington, July 24. The fol lowing correspondence, between the President of the United States and the Emperor of China was made public at tb State Department to day: ' "Translation of a cablegram re ceived by Minister Wn, on July 20, from the taotai of Shanghai, dated July 19th: "Haying received a telegram from Governor Yuan, of Shan Tung, dated 23rd day of this moon (July 19), who, having received from the privy council at Pekin a dispatch embodying an imperial letter to the President of the United State?, ha3 instructed me to tr&iismiirir'to your excellency. The Emperor of China to his excellency, the Presideut of the United States. Greeting. "China has long maintained friendly relations with the United States and is deeply conscious that ine oojecc 01 tne united states is international commerce. Neither country eutertaius the least suspi cion or; distrust toward the other. Eecent outbreaks of mutual antipa thy betweeen the people and - Chris tian missions caused the foreign powers to view with Suspicion the position of the imperial government as favorable to tne people and unjust to the missions, with the result that the laka forts were attacked and captured. Consequently there has been clashing of forces with' ca lamitous consequences. "The situation here became more and more serious and critical. We have just received a telegraphic memorial from our envoy, Wu Ting Fang, and it is highly gratifying to us to learn that the United States government, having in view the friendly relations between the two countries, has taken a deep interest in tne present situation. Now Chi ua, driven by the iiresistable course of events, has unfortunately incurred well-nigh universal indignation. For settling the present difficulty China places special reliance in the United States. We address thi3 message to your excellency in all sincerity and candidness with the hope that your excellency will devise measures and take initiative in bringing about a concert of the powers for the res toration of peace. The favor of kind reply is earnestly requesteol, and awaited with the greatest anx iety. "Hwang Hsu, sixth .moon, 23rd day. (July 19.)

"Yu Lien Yten, "Taotai of Shanghai "Hwang Hsu, 26th year, sixth moon, 23rd day. (July 19.)" This cablegram was at once com municated to the President at Can ton and the following is his reply: States to the Emperor of China. Greeting: "1 have recieyed Your Majesty's message ot tne 19th of July and am glad to know that Your Majesty recognizes the fact that the govern ment and people of the United States desire of China nothing but what is just and equitable. The purpose for which we landed troops in China was tne rescue of out legation from grave danger and the protection of the lives and property of others who were sojourning in China in the enjoyment of rights guaranteed them by treaty and international law. The same purposes are public ly declared by all the powers which have landed military forces in Your Majasty's empire. "'Iam to infer from Your Ma jesty's letter that the malefactors who have disturbed the peace of China, who have murdered the min ister of Germany and a member of the Japanese legation, and who now hold betieged in Pekin those for eign diplomats who still survive, has not only not received favor or encour agement from Your Majesty, but are actually in rebellion against the im perial authority. If this be the case, I most solemnly urge upon Your Majesty's government to give public assurance, whether the foreign min isters are alive, and, if so, in what condition; to put diplomatic repre sentatives of the powers in immedi ate and free communication with their respective governments and to remove all danger to their lives and liberty; to place the imperial author ities of China in communication with the relief expedition so that co-operation may be secured between them for the liberation of the lega tions, the protection of foreigners and the restoration of order.

The leading Chinese papers here publish ed yesterday a dispatch declaring that it was-all over with the mem bers of the legations. The president of a minor board at Pekin wrote to a relative in Shanghai, under date of July 9, saying: "The foreign lega tions are stili uncaptured, but owing tothe daily nghting, it is repsrted that only about 300 are left alive in the legations and if there is any de lay in the arrival of the relief force, nrtrtA will nft- fr. r.nnit'n J.

' While these brief side lights as to the fate of the Europeans leave little ground for hope, Shanghai sends a batch of reports indicative of prepa rations for hostilities on the part of the Chinese. It is alleged that the Yang Tse viceroys have sent depu ties to Shanghai to inquire as to the prospect of rasing a foreign loan, osten sibly to pursue military opera tions against the Boxers, whose move ment is extending rapidly southward, with constantly growing strength, and has reached a point where the provinces of Shan Tung, No Shan and Shan Si meet, leaving behind it a trail of burned missions aud murdered Christians.

Colonel Liscuin, guiding his men, walked up and down the line, not even ducking his head while the bullets fell around. The Americans charged into the flank fire with rushes. The ground oyer which they charged was marshy and lined with ditches. It was evidently Colonel Liscum's intention to rush the mud houses from which the flank fire was con: ing and thus get a position for flanking the wall. At 12:30 the line had just reached the shore of the canal and 30 yards separated them from the houses, when the color bearer fell. Colonel Lis- cum picked up the colors and stood look ng around apparently for a lord. Better get down, or they will bit you!' shouted Major Regan. "'I guess not," was Liscum's reply. "The next instant a sharpshooter's bullet went through the braye colonel's abdomen. I've fcot it," he said as he fell. 'Get them if you can,' the dying officer said and added as his last words: 'Don't retreat, boys, keep firing. 'Regan was hit immediately afterward. All day long the allies' line lay under any covert the men could find, running out of ammunition. The July sun was beating down on them and they had nothing to drink but the salty marsh water. "Meanwhile the wounded came strug gling and crawling through the gate in the mud wall. There was no order. They were sent anywhere without men to carry the litters.
