And now we should all look to

The republican program, with re

Should the republicans be success-

all busy. In fact there were never
so few idle men as now. Farmers
never had better markets and re
ceived better prices for their pro
ducts. Prosperity was never so
marked or more general than at
present There is comparatively
no distress among our people. There
are neither soup houses nor Coxey's

the benefit of the people of this
country. It is quite likely, too,
that some law will be enacted lobk-

merchant marine. There will also
undoubtedly be some legislation,
embodying the best practice in the
matter of issuing injunctions, which
will do away with the feeling, that
; now exists among certain classes of
people with respect to the issuing
of injunctions in certain cases.
Ihere will be some further legisla
tion with respect to traffic agree
ments between interstate railroads,
and there will, doubtless, be some
further legislation providing for ad
ditional safety appliances for the
protection of men working in
i hazardous places. Also other sub
jects will be considered, and con
servative laws, affecting the inter-
I ests of the people, will be passed.

protection and prosperity since that

all the people, points out the repub

every man who will vote the repub

his " name is on the registration
books, and then make his arrange

election, and not only vote for but
put in a good days work for the
cause of republicanism and the
success of republican candidates.
WELLMAN
Walter Well man, starting from
Atlantic City, attempted to cross
the Atlantic in a dirigible balloon,
taking a northeast course towards
England. Two or three days later
he was found in a boat a few hun
dred miles east of Cape Hatteras.
Wellman and the crew were rescued.

AT TUXED
. A deplorable affray occurred Sun
day night at Tuxedo, in which a
good deal of shooting was done and
J. D. Lynch was dangerously wound
ed. It is stated by eye-witnesses
that Lynch was shot by Charles
Morgan. Morgan has escaped.
As a result of some of the inci
dents of the affair, two trials were
held here Tuesday afternoon in a
magistrate's court Charles Ward,
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, was tried before J. C. Mor
row J. P., the case having been re
moved on affidavit from R. M Oates,
another magistrate. ' Ward was
bound to the next term of the Hen
derson county superior court for the
trial of criminal cases, and was re
quired to give a $500 justified bond.
His attorneys contend -that this
amount is excessive. . The trial was
somewhat lengthy and a number of
witnesses were examined on both
sides. Ward proved a good charact
er. He took the stand in his own
behalf, denied the charge, and testi
fied that he was acting as a peace
maker and that he did all he could
to get Morgan away from the place
where the difficulty occurred. A
considerable amount of testimony
was given which tended to corro
borate Ward's contention.
, It appears that there was a re
ligious meeting Sunday night in the
church at Tuxedo near the Green
River Manufacturing company's
plant; and that Morgan tnd some
other men were near the church.
Morgan had been drinking, and it
is aid that there was boisterous
talkingr- It was further testified
that, a little while after that dis-
urbance, Morgan and Ward were
passing along the road near where
J. O. Bell, Erwin and Poore were
standing, and that the former were
called' upon by the latter to halt,
and as they did not halt they were
pursued by the latter who called on
Lynch to stop Morgan. Lynch
rushed out and was shot A number
of shots were fired. Ward was net
with Morgan at the . time of the
shooting.
The other case tried before J. C.
Morrow was that of Grover Davis
charged with disturbing a religious
congregation and. carrying a con
cealed weapon. He was bound to
court on the latter count and was
required to give a $75 justified bond.
LATER: Bond in the case of
Charles Ward has been reduced to
$300 and has been given.
MAPLE ST.
A fire was discovered on Maple
street near the depot, about 1
o'clock Wednesday morning and
several frame buildings were de
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
about $3,000, partially covered by
insurance. The loud "bleating" of
a freight engine woke a number of
people, and a crowd of about .200
gathered around the scene of the
conflagration.
The property destroyed consisted
of Pete Barrows' pool room, a color
ed barber shop (the property of M.
C. and C. F. Toms), a colored res
taurant, an empty building (orig
inally a barber shop), and J. M.
Lanning's residence.
The, fire department' arrived
promptly and rendered valuable
service. The brick building, occu
pied by Sherman & Shipman, help
ed to check the spread of the fire.
Yellow journalism rampaged over
the fire. One paper estimated the
loss at $25,000. Another paper
estimated the attendance at . not
less than 1,500; it would have been
just as easy to say 150,000.
'Challenge
Not Accepted
As soon as he heard of Senator
Overman's appointments in this
part of the state, Judge Ewart wrote
to the senator challenging him to a
joint discussion. Up to this time
the judge has not yet been accorded
the courtesy of a reply. The con
clusion which the judge" draws from
this impressive silence is that the
democrats are not so anxious for a
joint discussion as they pretend to
be. There are special reasons why
Senator Orerman has cause to be
afraid of Judge Ewart. .

Editor Times:
Having seen much advertisement
of political speaking to take place at
Columbus, I decided to 16se time
enough to attend and hear for my
self. The candidates for the state
senate, Messrs. Gardner and Fisher,
Mr. Gudger, candidate for congress,
and Mr. Newell of Charlotte, all
were present. The superior court,
presided over by Judge Webb, ad
journed for the occasion.
The first political speech I heard
was by Mr. Gudger at the hotel
dinner table, when, for the benefit
of the mixed crowd there gathered.
the candidate was exulting over the
position taken by himself as to the
public buildings bill passed at the
last session of congress, authorizing
the purchase of suitable lots and
the erection of postoffice . buildings
at Hendersonville and other places.
In the midst of his elabration, Judge
Webb, a brother of Congressman
Webb, entered the room and took a
seat by Mr. Gudger, and his speech
ended without even the placing of a
period, and for some reason the
subject was not mentioned again.
At the court house, Mr. Gardner
spoke first, and while he is a fine
ooking young man, his speech did
no credit to the democracy, being
composed of a few loose "chips"
rom the old speeches of Vance and
Aycock and extracts from the dem
ocratic hand book; and the local
democrats gave a tame feeble sal
ute of relief when he announced he
was through.
Mr. Newell not having arrived,
next came Candidate Gudger. If
any one present had anticipated
anything from the candidate, the
expectancy soon ended. After one
or two nods and becks, the candi
date yelled "Marion Butler" and
"Corn-bread" John Grant;, then
another spiel about Marion Butler
and "Corn-Bread John." He said
the democrats wanted to reduce the
tariff and make things cheap for the
armers present; and that he did
too; that John Grant voted for Can
non for speaker. By this time Mr.
Newell came in and the candidate
asked him some questions about
the constitutional amendment
The crowd became restless an4
the candidate told a yarn about a
dog. Then appearing "done up" by
bis exertion, he told the audience
he was a candidate for congress
and wanted their votes, and closed

by saying "Mr. Newell will now take
a turn at ye." Mr. Gudger is a
clever gentlemen but he made a
very poor democratic spe. v
Mr. Newell, a republican from
Charlotte, a speaker of reputation,
responded to the call of Mr. Gudger
for help and delivered a very strong
and sensible speech. Ke took time
to make a comparison of the two
great parties, what each had stood
for; the republican party ever
standing for the interests of the
country and for the liberty, educa
tion and welfare of every citizen, a
protective tariff, a market for every
American product, and the highest
wages for every man's muscle and
brain; that if tariff schedules need
changing, the republican party had
the wisdom to wisely adjust such
matters; that the democrats had
sought public office on every sort
and kind of platform, and without
any platform at all, and changed so
often that no man could be consist
ent and be a democrat;" that in the
state the republican party wrote
the free public school law in the
state constitution, established the
school tax rate where it now stands,
and gave a three months term of
school for one half the sum now re
quired by the democrats to run a
four months ferm; that the repub
lican party believed in local self
government and the election of the
board of education and other local
officers by a vote of the people;
that the democratic party had al
ways professed this same principle,
but would not practise it; that Gov.
Aycock and other prominent dem
ocrats, and the democratic party,
promised the people when the
4wnendment was passed that no
white man should be disfranchised
by same; then Mr. Newell showed
several instances where white men,
tax-payers and respectable citizens,
had been denied registration by the N
democratic registrars and turned
