What Does the Southern Railway Ex pect In Return. -The Dnke's 'One Appeal Is tor Populist Votes Free Silver Republicans Not Affected. Waynesville. N. C , Oct. 13 -Adams and Pearson spoke toaj-ood-szidcrowd here yesterday, as wired you yesterday afternoon. Adams opened the discussion and spoke one hour, making a logical, forci ble argument, showing the fallacy of the plan of the Republicans to increase the revenue by a high tariff. proiag that the receipts under the Wilson tariff bill are greater than under the McKinley Din. tie showed that wealth could ic crease the revenue by being made to pay its share of taxes for the protection of its millions. Pearson opened his speech by paying a higu compliment to W. T. Crawford, lor which, as it was interpreted by the people as an attempt to disparage their pres ent Democratic candidate, Mr. Adams, tne applause was beautifully scarce, tie acknowledged Adams' declaration, and admitted that the McKinley Kill (x.na .3 . ... . ao pooxu iu increase ine revenue. nere ne Drenched off to the county government question and to other than national issues tor some time. R turning, he charged that the Demo cratic platform condemned the WiUnn bill; that the preseot Democratic nomi nees for the legislature were neatly all Koiu sianaara advocates, thus killing si.vcr i i worm Carolina; that the silver cry is. so far as the Democratic party n corcerned, only a blind and sham to get in power, etc., etc. And he alleged that Adams had just reached the point where he knows nothing about the financial question. He said he would like to see silver restored to its place as money ; also, that he is oonosed to the single gold standard. He made a good silver speech at the last, and then de clared that be, McKinley and the balance of the g. o. p. would trot through at a 2:40 gait on a gold platform. une striking incident of the debate was Mr. Pearson's admission that he rifles up in a free pass over the Southern rail way, it was like oullin? eve teeth f- him to admit it, and bis face was livid. but in answer to Adams' direct question ueooiu. uuve a railroad pass now in my pocket.'' In Mr. Pearscn's tals be did not at- tempt to defend the matter, but with all assurance possible begged the Pupulisrs to vote for him. Mr. Pearson showed the cloven foot when he virtually admitted that his eftjrt was to make Populists distrust uemocrats and Lie moctats distrust Popu lists, saying, -if we can get the Demo crats scratching one end and the Popu lists the other of the electoral ticket then McKinley vi ill walk right in." Mr. 1'earson did not attempt to eive any arguments for the free silver Repub licans who are bolting his gold platform. ne seemeo to thins mat childish talk and iokes would satisfy thtm. These free silver Republicans are never theless not to be changed from sound conviction except bv sound argument. Mr. Adams expressed himsell as great ly pleased by his reception at Wavnes- Vlllf. Af-er Mr. Adams had spoken an hour many were heard to sav. so much in terested were they, that it could not he possible be had consumed that murb time. A few ladies were present, and manv shook hands with Adams. Mrs. W. T. Crawford gave to Mr. Adams a beautiful boquet of chrysanthemums and roses. borne ot the other ladies cave to Mr. Pearson flowers, and as he held them in his hands they contrasted strangely with some expressions of his as to j ickasses"andthe "eulphureted hydro gen ol rotten eges " Haywood will from all indications roll up at least her usual mai jritv for Ad ams, and yesterday's work will help the cause. GREW COTTON TOO FAST. Offered a Small Fortune to Allow His Plants and Seeds to Be Destroyed. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 11 A man living ust outside of Atlanta has three acres of leafk'ss cotton which is from seven to 14 feet high. It grows five times as much cotton as other plants. A committee from South Georgia called on the owner tcday and offered him $18, 000 for all the seed and the cotton, in order to destroy them. He has offered 40 bushels of the seed to the New Or leans Exchange for $20.000. N. Y. Jour nal. Atlanta Constitution, 12th: Several years ago Mr. Jackson the larmer above referred to was presented with this seed by a Jew who had brought them from the interior of Africa. The lew had 1 nned an exploring party which had started to the center of Africa. While in the very middle of Africa the pa tv came across some cotton, the stalks of which were ove.- 20 feet in height. Theeovern- ment botanist who was along with the party took the measure from one of the stalks, and it was from this stalk that the first seed cimc. Jackson says that if the cotton is cul tivated it will produceat least two bales to the acre, and possibly as much as four. He sa stoat with this cotton in use all over the South the farmer can reduce his acreage by over one-half and raise more cotton than he is now. This land that he does not use for cotton can be put to a profitable nse. and the in- come of the farmer will be doubled as compared with the amount of labor employed in the raising ot cotton.

It Is Believed They Are Riding Oat the Gale in Places ot Safety An Old Dominion Steamer Gets in . All Right. New Yokk, Oct. 13 The Old Domin ion steamer Guyandotte, Captain Walker, which reached here this morn ing from Norfolk is the first vessel to ar rive from a Southern port since Satur day. She left Norfolk last Sunday even ing at 6 o'clock and encountered the full force of the storm. The wind blew a heavy gale from the northeast, with a high confused sea in which the Guyan dotte was obliged to run at reduced speed. Numerous heavy seas boarded the steamer, but fortunately did no damage. The steamer Tallahassee hence for Sa vannah, which has been anchored in Grayesend bay since the 10th, storm THE HAND THAT WILL SETTLE MATTERS bound, proceeded to sea early this morn ing. Owing to the storm several Dassenper and freight steamers, bound to and from this port, are overdue. The steamship most overdue is the Seminole of theClvde line, fene left Charleston. S. C. last Fri day at 1 o'clock in the afiernoon, and ought to have arrived here Sunday even ing last. L p to 10 o clock todav she had not been sighted and nothine is hearrt of her Irom here. The Seminole carries passengers and a general cargo. At the offices of the line it was said todav that the officials did not think that the steamer had met with any serious mishap. Thev thought she had probably put in somewhere to avoid the lury ot the storm and would no doubt arrive at this port in safety. The steamer Comanche of the same line, which left here Saturday, had not, according to telegraphic reports to the company's officiate, arrived at Charier- ton at o clock today. She was due there last night. The steamer Oriziba of the Ward line, from Havana, due here yesterday, had not been heard from today. She had a cargo of merchandise and 31 passengers from Cuba, besides others from Mexico. Several other ocean steamers are from one to three days late, and some of the Sound steamers from Boston, Provi dence, Stonington and other New En land towns had not arrived at their docks here at their usual time this morr ing. No apprehension for their safety is felt, ho we vet. Boston, Oct. 13 There is little abate ment in the stcrm. It is still blowing a stiff gale with no signs of improvement in the weather conditions. The steamer Gate City from Savannah. Ga.. due here yesterday morning,is supposed to be anchored ott Hyannis. having passed through tbelowerend of Vinevard Sound yesterday. Charleston. S. C, Oct. 13 The steamship Comanche arrived here this morning. The captain reports the bieh- est seas experienced during more than 40 years of service. OFF FOR DUXUTH.

LAST Chairman Harkins Wanted to Provide That in Case of Absence of a Candi date There Should Be No Substitute in the Discussion. lhere will be no joint canvass in But- ombe between the Democratic and Republican candidates. This was settled today. The representatives of the Democratic party have been endeavoriug for several davs to bring about an agreement with the Republicaus that would insure joint debates from now until the election. Republican Chairman Harkins informed Democratic Chairman Walker that as Mr. Candler's wife was ill it was not known whether be would be able to continue the canvass. Mr. Harkins' plan was that in case Mr Candler could not fill his appointments, the Democrats should have only one speaker on the legislative ticket. Mr. Walker proposed that in case of THIS FALL. -Dntroit News absence or sickness on the part of a can didate a substitute be allowed to take his place in the discussion. Today Mr Walker received the following: "R. P. Walker, chairman: "Dear Sir: You may have misunder stood me as to the time of commencing theioint canvass. Your candidates are to go on and fill the appointments at Black Mountain and Swannanoa and commence the joint canvass at Fairview on October 17, and continue on the ap pointments I have mad;. I cannot and will not allow von to substitute anv other speaker, as I stated in my fortn-r letter. "If either one of tlie candidates tor the legislature are absent on account of sick ness, then only two of the opposing can didates for the legislature are to sD-ak i nave done all I can do to please you and I will not bother with th-s matter any further. Respect fully, ". S Harkins." averment sUcn as this would have virtually allowed the Republicaus to sav when the Democratic speakers could dis cuss the issues. The latter wanted the joint debate to be such in reality. r.iTh,e t)emocralic nominees spoke at Black Mountain today and will speak at bwannanoa tomorrow.
