. which sent in this bill."' replied Judge
Moore. Tiieii I will withdraw my order
! in the forn.er bill," replied Judg'e IJoyd.
' I will not allow any plea for an attack
on the organization of a grand Jury."
ui mi court, aeciareu Juugej
Moore, is insufficient and informal.
The court is insufficient and contradic
tory. It did not enable the defendant to
prepare his defense: it did not inform
the defendant as to the specific charges
preferred against him, therefore the de
fendant prajs the judgement of the
c ourt. etc.''
At this Jlimi ture it was stated that the
ourt order in regard to the defendant 3
plea of guilty having been withdrawn
had be n found and Judge Moore was
allowed to lead his demurrer. He pre
ceded this by reading the first bill of
indictment aK.iinst I'ulliam. 'The po
f-itioii that we take," he s-aid, "is tha;
this bill of i.ciii tment in the face of oui
demui n-f itiun.t stand as It must ai

Judge Mm ie also cited seeial other
cases to sii-t..in his content i.jn.
Judg- Hoy I stated that was a general
statul- v. here the district attorney
could join in indictment offenses that

Ju lg" !.. ., argued that Ihere were
sepai ate 1. ,:.,ts in the one bill of in

Judge l'.o d expressed the opinion that
thse three terms under discussion were
most too g, r.eial. but was willing tv
hear the di .-1 iii 1 attorney on the sub
ject. A further argument of the case was
left open until the afternoon session.
The grounds for the defendant's motion
to iuash the second bill of indictment,
it is learned, will be that one of the Ju
rors had not paid his poll tax. If the de
murrer is sustained in the first issue
n 1 the second bill is nuashed, a new
HI! of indictment would have to be
brought against Pulliam, which if done

now pending in the United States Su
preme court, involving faramoun". is
sues to this case had been settled. He

would be settled within a year's tint'
He was borne out in his remarks by F.
A. Sondley who also made an appeal
to Judge Boyd to allow the case to go

bonds of the A. and S. railway and Mr.
McNamee thought that the plaintiff
should not be deprived longer of his
money. lie asked that Judge Mern
mon. who had been in court, but had
gone out. be allowed to speak on the
motion. This was granted and Jung"
Boyd announced that he would with
hold his order in the case. Judge Boyd,

question. He was here, he said, to try
iTn se cases and he w anted them ilea d.
Upon motion of Col. V- S. Lusk 'la

75he Repviblicans Dislike
the Ring-TaJlTicket Ideoc
The Citizen's reporter met a promi
nent Republican today and found him
not averse to talking-. When asked
w hat he though! of the so-called "Cit
izens' meeting" held in AsheviHe on
Saturday he said that the whole thing
was a farce, and the fact that It was
gotten up in the interest of individuals
and not in the interest of the Republi
can party had brought it already into
disrepute. "I thought," said he, "that
Blanchard was the daddy of this move
ment, and I see from the morning Ga
zette that even he has repudiated the
ispurious offspring. There is no use in
! disguising the fact that no Democrat
of prominence or even respectable par
ty standing has manifested any dispo
sition to join this movement."
"What about Dillon Luther," said
your reporter, whereupon the gentle
man broke into a broad grin and re
peated the following lines from one of
the classics:
He has wobbled in and wobbled out.
And left the people siill in doubt
As whether the snake that made the
track
Was going south or coming back."
"The trouble." said he, "about Dillon
is that he changes his mind too often
in the progress of the campaign, and
takes too many sides on great consti
tutional questions. Capt. Natt Atkin
son's size-up of Dill has come to be a
by-word among the people of Bun
combe. Of course we welcome Mr.
Luther with us. and hope that he will
do us some good, though the prospect
is a little gloomy at present."
Much to the same effect were the re
marks of a prominent Republican from
the Piedmont section of the state who
happens to be in Asheville just now.
1 remember." he said, "when the
amendment campaign was on I got the
iTepublican c ommittee to send Dillon
dowti to my county. When he arrived
we met him. gave him a great ovation,
and heralded him as a Democrat op
posed to the amendment and with the
bravery to say so. He made his
speech and we hurrahed mightily. But
you can judge how small We felt when
a few weeks later Dillon changed hi
position on the question and the Dem
ocrats brought him down to my county
SEVERAL STATES
SUFFER FROM
DROUGTH
Corn Has Exceptionally Fine
Weather. But Cotton Fares
Not So Well
Washington. July 2'.'. The w-eather
bureau's summary of eros- conditions
is as follows: Drought of considerable
severity prevails from Virginia and the
Carolinas westward. The corn crop
has experienced another week of excep
tionally favorable conditions over -a
muc h greater part of the principal corn
states. In the middle Atlantic states
and to the southward of the Ohio riv
crop. corn suffered much from the
drought 'Trr sections, especially the ear
ly planted.
The northern portion of the eastern
and central districts of the cotton belt
continue to suffer from drought, the
effects of which are beginning to be
more seriously felt, especially on the
uplands. Outside the drought area in
the districts named, the crop is making
favorable progress, the plants being
heavily fruited,
Picking has commenced in the cen
tral counties, but has been retarded by
rains. Dry weather in the Carolinas
has ben very favorable for curing the
tobacco crop.

"Who be your nominees for the
legislature?" was asked of another
moss-bade "Well, I suppose," said
he, "that- Col. Lusk and 'Jumbo'
Thompson will be nominated for the
House. The Pritchard revenue -ring
seems toj have decreed this. It is not
my idea of politics, but it seems that
they have determined to run the old
Colonel again. I like and admire Colo
nel Lusk, bat the only hope of the Re
publican party in North Carolina is in
the adoption of a broader and more lib
eral policy than has heretofore been
exercised. We might as well recog
nize tke fact that the white people of
North Carolina have adopted the
amendment in earnest and intend to
maintain it. The nomination of Col.
Lusk will mean the fight along the
same-JJnesas divided the people in 389S
and 1900. It looks as if we .are going
to have the old fight right over again
with 1,500 negroes and 500 white Repub
licans swept from our ranks by the
amendment. What the Republican
party needsjs a leadership that will
accept as "an established fact the
amendment; that will inspire it with
new life, forgetful of the past, looking
toward the upbuilding of , the whole
south, 'i am opposed," said he, "to
this poMcy that has been adopted of
bestowing- all' the lucrative places in
the gift. of the Republican upon sore

ator Pritchard. The old Republicans,
those who have borne the burden and
heat of the day, must shove the plane
or work upon the farm, while men who
have abusext- and denounced Republi
cans all their lives have the best kind
of jobs. "In fact the only way to get
a job it seems, is to be an ex-Democrat
or a member of Pritchard's family. '1
I w ill admit' that I am a grumbler ad
a kicker but I will stand by anything
; that is done, or swallow any ticket that

I Others said they were just waiting

One man added: "If it comes to a

Pensuekin. near Merchantville, is not
seriously hurt.
The body of John Morrlssey of Phila

fights occurred between the adherents
of the two candidates. The opinion pre
vails that Loudenschlager will win.
