THOMPSON Populist Committeeman Sends in His Resignation. He Helped to Organize People's Party in This State. BUT HE DESPAIRS OF ANY RE FORM INSIDE THE PRESENT ORGANIZATION SURFACE PROSPERITY. ueorge JB. Boggs of Haywood, one of the prominent men in the councils of the Populist party of North Caro lina, has resigned from the state exec utive committee. In doing so he has written an open letter to the state chairman, which is printed herewith Hon. Cy. Thompson, chairman of the state executive committee of the People's party, Raleigh. N. C. Dear Sir: I herewith tender my res ignation of membership of the state executive committee. I do so with re gret. I helped to organize the People's party in this state, and took a some what active part in the memorable campaign of 1892, and have since given more of my means, time and strength to advance Its interests than I could afford, and entirely without any pecun lary reward directly or indirectly. When fusion was inaugurated in this state in is4, I opposed it to the ut most, and refused to take any port in it. I urged that whatever apparent gain might be secured by it such a sacrifice or principle would divide and diminish our forces and, deservedly forfeiting ine respect ana conndence of our fellow citizens, cut off recruits and therefore sooner or later destroy the party I was ror a long time encouraged to continue in my allegiance to the Dartv organisation by promise of reform and Dy tne hope that those in control of the party would see the unwisdom of any farther continuance in such con auct. and returning to the defense of our principles, refuse any affiliation witn anv who opposed them. DESPAIRED OF REFORM. In the meantime, the "majority of the party has abandoned the organisation and left it in the main, if not entirely to those who seem bent on continuing In their course. Despairing of any re form inside the present organization of tne party, I have determined to aban don it am) become one of this outside majority. I am as earnestly devoted to the principles of the People's party as I ever was. There are thousands in the state who are of like mind in fact. Populism Is more widely accepted to day than at any time in the past, but without organization nothing can be done to secure the adoption and in forcement of these principles. If I was otherwise Qualified to take an .active part in organizing this' latent sentiment my poor health would prevent me from undertaking it. I can only watch the current of events. 1 am not in the least discouraged. There are abundant indications that the great revolution that has already been fully inaugurated has not been overthrown, but simply balked for a time. This is always sure to happen to all such movements, as the history of our own country abundantly proves. Unwise and selfish conduct on the part of many of the leaders in the movement, is mainly responsible for Its present status. The present wave of prosperity is lulling some into se curity, but such will ere long be rudely awakened as this prosperity is only on the surface and will prove, like its many predecessors, only temporary. Under the surface the sores are eat ing away on the vitals of the country with more virulence than ever. If the masses were disposed to be come indifferent to their real condition. inc piuiocrauc oiigarcny tnat Is now Indirectly but none the less truly run ning tne government and ruling us with a rod of iron would not allow them to remain so. They are by their excesses constantly calling to mind the old adaite whom the gods wish to de stroy they first make mad." But when were greed and selfishness ever satis- fled? When did vaulting ambition ever rail to overleap Itself? UNREST DEEPENING. There Is abundant evidence that the discontent and unrest among our peo ple is broadening and deepening. It Is extending more and more to those who are unduly conservative. They are at last getting their eyes open to the evils that environ us, and to some extent to the perils that confront us. I do not despair of the republic. I have the fullest confidence in the pa triotism, courage and intelligence of our people. It is only a question of time when they will become united and move forward to the overthrow of the despot lers. I am very sure it will not be under the banner of either of the old parties. There is every indication that it will be by a new movement that will be entirely free from the passions and prejudices that would encumber it if moving in any of the old channels. I agree fully with Rev. Dr. Josiah Strong that this will be one of the three great revolutions of - modern tirrfes. The first gave religious, the second gave civil, and the one now un der way will give Industrial freedom. GEO. E. BOGGS. Haywood County, N. C. DEATH OF MRS. MARY WELLS.

President Powell of the Order ot Railroad Telegraphers. has arrived from Washington, where he went to confer with General Mana ger Gannon of the Southern railroad regarding- grievances of operators and agents of the road. An agreement has been reached 'which will probably bring the troubles to an amicable con SHOOTING OF PACK V BY UERT: TAYLOR STORY OF THE WOUNDED BOY AS IT WAS GIVEN TO SHERIFF - LEE. Cleveland Mack, the boy who was shot Tuesday by Mert Taylor, was resting easily today, when he was vis ited by his attending physicians, Dra. Glenn and Meriwether. Taylor is still in jail and is likely to remain there until Mack can give his testimony. Yesterday afternoon the friends of Taylor presented a request to Sheriff Lee, signed by Mack's father, asking that Taylor be released. Sheriff Lee visited the injured boy's home this morning and learned that Mack's mother and Mack himself - vigorously oujeciea to aay sucb course being pur sued. The latter gave Sheriff Lee his ver slon or the occurrence. He tateH that Taylor had been urging him all day to go into the lumber yard office, saying mat ne naa something to show him. However, Mack did not go until even ing. At this time both went into the office and Taylor drew a pistol out of the pocket of his overcoat, which was Hanging up. xayior said: "This is what I fight nun nen i ngnt. Mnnue aiaca said: "Don't get "xiv, x mixi airaia or it and never iooi wun i none tnings. Then Taylor broke the pistol and an parently took all the cartridges out of i. Maca went out of the door and xayior rested tne pistol against the uoor casing and pointed it at Mack amg. i am going to shoot you." , "w repnea: "No you won't, for inrrc is notning in it. Then, according to Mack's story yior replied: "I"U be if it ain't loaded," and about that time thA nfsti was discharged'. Mack says Taylor shut one eye ana iook deliberate aim at him. Ttawl,r'u . : . . , cioiun or ine matter, as ",u l" nnenrr Le, is that he had Just found the pistol that day and that he thought he had taken all the car tridges out of It. Mack s mother states that her hus- oi,a ana layior, both of whom work ... ine iumoer yard, did not get along harmoniously together, and that Mack had discharged Taylor, or had milieu or aomg so, and that Taylor ... y mm mm on this account in new or these statements Sheriff uwmea not to release Taylor, for v i'i r-.-r-n l at least A. ot W TROLLY LINP SITUATION ALL RIGHT AFFAIRS ARE MOVING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THE ROAD AMONG THE CERTAINTIES. The lutest reports indicate that the affairs of the Asheville anH wa v-ille trolly road are moving along smoothly and that the building- of the road is an assured fact. It is understood that the delay which has ensued since the passage of the franchise by the aldermen has been due to the apprehension by those who were to invest their money in the en terprise in regard to the provision of the state constitution conferring the power of annulling franchises on the legislature. The provision referred to. section 1 of article 8, says "All general laws and pecial acts, passed pursuant to this section, may be altered from time to time or repealed." The Supreme court has decided that this is not intended to give the power to the legislature of abolishing the charter or substantial ly depriving any corporation of its granted powers or rights, but only the right to regulate the operations of a corporation. But when it was shown that in Illi nois, in which state the prospective in vestors live, the laws confer greater power of annullment than in North Carolina the apprehension referred to has been cleared away, and the capi talists now nnd no objection to invest ing in this state. Attorney Zebu Ion Weaver of the law firm of Carter & Weaver, which is rep resenting the A. & W. company, has received a letter from consulting en gineer Barnes of the A. & W. com pany, who is in Chicago. Mr. Barnes' letter indicates that there are no lon ger any difficulties in the way and that the necessary funds have been forthcoming. VIGOROUS OPPOSITION. For the Proposed New Street Chestnut to College. From it seems certain that if the new street from College to Chestnut is opened the work will not be done without vigorous opposition. That is, if the damages to the adjoining prop erty owners must be paid) according to the scale reported by the Jury, as pub lished in The Citizen yesterday. Judge George A. Shuford is one of those making -objection to the assess ments. The damage to his property was assessed at $250. In conversation with The Citizen this morning Judge Shuford said: "I will resist to the utmost the at tem(pt to open the street through my property at the price assessed. I would not have it pass through my property for less than 11000. The street is not a public necessity. It is not call ed for, and it is not demanded for the public good. If the street railway de sires its road through there, or if any private individuals desire to open up the street for the benefit of their property, the proper thing for them to do is to see all the property owners who do not want the street, and make arrangements with them, by purchas ing the land necessary to open the street. "The new street laid out through the Spears property could easily be chang ed so as to be extended through to Chestnut street without damaging property owners beyond Orange street to the extent that it will damage t hem to undertake to make this new street. There is no reason why the direction of that street cannot be changed as there are no buildings along the line." FATAL ACCIDENT. A G. Fou bister Loses His Waynesville. Life at An unfortunate accident occurred at Waynesville yesterday afternoon,, by which A. G. Foubtoter of Philadelphia lost his life while out horseback rid ing. He was an inexperienced horse man and when the horse broke into a moderate gallop fell from the - saddle. He was draergd for a considerable dis tance and killed.

TAYLOR HAS NOT YET MADE UP HIS MIND ABOUT SIGN ING THE AGREE MENT. Frankfort, Feb. 8. Taylor announced this morning that he had taken no ac tion regarding the LouisviUe agree ment and did not know whether he would do so tonight or not. He said there were some things he desired to consider further, and it would be some time before he decided the best thing to do. Notwithstanding the delay in signing the agreement the opinion is still gen eral that with some ' modifications it will be accepted in the near future, pos- siDiy by the end of the week. Word was sent to the Democratic members last night that those desirin to attend the funeral of Goebel would be in no danger of arrest bv soldiers and being taken to London for atten dance on the legislature. Many came naca ror tne luneraJ. but will leave as soon as the funeral is over, unless Tay- lor signs tne agreemnt. 10,00ft AT THE FUNERAL. Goebel's body lay in state all of last night with only a few guards around the door and very few people passed through the parlor after 9 o'clock. This morning the crowd was even greater than that of yesterday. Bv 7 o'clock- there was a stream of people pourine- though the room in which the body lay. The crowd kept growing larger with great rapidity and there will be no less than 10,000 people present at the funer al exercises. The storm of last night has entirely disappeared. AT THE CEMETERY. At 11 o'clock the formation of the parade began on Wapplng street. It moved to Broadway and then wheeled past the capitol grounds and on to the cemetery. Simple services had been conducted in the Darlor of the hotel. These had been for friends and imme diate relatives of the family. The cere monies at the cemetery were on a much larger scale and intended for the people at large. Senator Blackburn de livered the principal oration. He was followed by other prominent Demo STAY IN LOUISVILLE. Louisville, Feb. 8. The Democratic members did not venture away from Louisville today. A number made all preparations to go to Frankfort to at tend the funeral of Goebel, but the sto ries from London of a possible attempt to arrest enough Democratic members to make a quorum and take them to the seat of the Republican assembly caus ed them to abandon the trip. Ther usual formal session, to comply with the law, was held, an immediate adjournment being had until tomor row. The attendance in the house in creased from 40 to 44 over yesterday, the latter figures being seven short of a quorum. In the senate also there was a larger attendance but not quite a quorum. Democratic managers say the members necessary to transact busi ness are within easy reach and will be present tomorrow. HATCHING SOMETHING. Cincinnati, Feb. 8. Ex-Governor W. O. Bradley and W. H.

GILMER'S SPEECH AT MARSHALL TUESDAY MANY MADISON REPUBLICANS DISGUSTED OVER RICHMOND PEARSON'S CONTEST, J. M. Gudger, Jr., returned from Marshall yesterday. "R. D. Gilmer had a large crowd out to hear him Tuesday evening," Mr. Gudger said this morning. "His speech was an exceed ingly conservative one. and the Impres sion made was distinctly good. In fact, the speech was complimented by all the ieadfng- R-epubrh.ans; hvveard him, and it is safe to say that the full Democratic strength of Madison coun ty will be given for the constitutional amendment. i "A large number of the Republicans are disgusted at Pearson's -contest for Crawford's seat. They are unanimous ly, of the opinion that Crawford was fairly elected and say the contest on Pearson's part may satisfy his ambi tion, but will ruin the Republican party, and that if be is seated it will be by disfranchising every Democrat In the district. They say they jjo not see how any sensible Democrat could con scientiously Join the Republican party in opposing the amendment tyhen they themselves have been disfranchised by the act of that party. J "Great surprise is expressed that Senator Pritchard gives his Taid to a proceeding which will so greatly injure the party's chances in the coming cam paign as this contest is sure Co do." Mr. Gudger says the Madison Demo, crats declare their intention! of seeing Crawford returned to Congress. If de nied the right to his seat he will cer tainly be nominated by acclamation.

Relief Is certain." London, Feb. 8. Presumably Buller is fighting again, today in the third at tempt to relieve Ladysmith, and new of the greatest importance may arrive ai any moment. let there is much more doubt than exultation, for even if the recollection of Buller's two disas trous iaiiures alter auspicious starts were not keen in the minds of the pub lie, the list of casualties published to day would be a sufficient reminder of the tremendous difficulties of his task. His occupation of Vaalkrantz the key to the lower ridges, w hile a praise worthy and gallant achievement, by no means signifies that he and White will inevitably Join hands. Before Buli ler there are several days hard fight-i lng and any attempt to forecast the re suit would be valueless. SMARTING UNDER DEFEAT. If based on precedent it would ba bound to be in favor of the Boers. On the other hand, the British troops are smarting under defeat and will un doubtedly be nerved to more desperate efforts than ever before, and if furl ous gauaniry can. carry Buller over the kopjes that face him, Ladysmith will be relieved within a week. But so far British bravery has been in the main wofully misguided. CASUALTIES. Buller has cabled to the war otiicv that the approximate British casual ties in the fighting at Potgieter"s drift to noon Tuesday are: Officers, two kill ed and 15 wounded; non-commissioned officers and men. 216 killed and wound ed.
