It was our privilege to le at Lin

was a large representative hody of

than was expected for Monday and
in so busy a reason. They' were
there for business and not for pie

Th Populist and IlepubUcans
held their county conventions. They
held them separately. The result
was a good strong ticket as follows:
For Representative, J. M. Iloyle;

Coroner, S. Baxter JU-al; Sheriff, J.
K. Hoover; Treasurer, J. L. Yount;
County Commissioners, II. O. Proc

Andrew Sain and P. A. Keep.
The above ticket is eomiosed of
KixkI representative gentlemen and
unless the jieople are preventeti
voting their honest sentiments, they
will le elected.
After the convention, Dr. Thomp

Governor, addressed a court house
full of voters, there being but few

all listened with great attention.

AlR. Editor: Mr. Bar.iea, our coun
ty chairman, together with two other
members of our County Executive
yomtnittee and mynelf went before the
Oouuty Board of ElecMons of Edge
combe county and presented a list
of names, (all white men) with
the request to have tbem appointed to
represent the Populist at the August
election.
Mr. W. n. Powell Jr., a member of
the Board, aked us if we had any "fu
sion ticket" with the Republicans. An
swer, no. If we had any mderstand
ing with the Republicans, that tbe
ere not to r'ent a petition. An
swer no. Mr. W Powell Jr asked wh .t
as the strength of the Populist part
in the county ? Mr F. Powell, ed.tor
of the Tarboro Southerner, said tbr
Congressional vote should be the one
to go by, and a-ked me what was the
vote. I tnlil him I thought it was 89.
He said 87 was the vote. Mr. W H.
Powell Jr. aked me if I had a petition
sent out by lt ler to be used in ac-king
for poll holders, one thac bad some
thing about Wiu. Goebel ? I answered
ves, and handed him one in blank
form, (the same as published in last
weeks CauHisiaii), he read the same be
fore the Boa d and remarked, that was
not what he wanted I replied, that
that was the only kind I had received.
At. lonneI. Gilliam, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee then
said that as there were probably about
ine hundred Populists in th county,
and mos' of th-m seeking office, auo
as the Republicans numoered about
three thousand, and as they were mort
vitally interested in the amendment
which wai to be vofld on in the Au
gust election, than the Populist, h
thought the Republicans ought to
have representation, and not the Populists.
The Board said they would take our
petition under consideration. Mr.
Barnes and I left, and had gone about
twenty steps from the door, when w
turned back and went in again, as we
entered Mr. W. II Powell, Jr. wa
reading a lit of namee, Presented bj
Mr. Gilliam, repeated in the Dail

CHAINED TO A NEGRO.
Whit PrlHooer HaudeufiVd With a Negro
and Led a egio Overeeer Through

I harlott.
The Charlotte News of Friday,
June 29, reports that on that day
Charles Crowder, a white man from
Mooresville, was chained to a negro
and driven by a negro overseer
through the streets of Charlotte. The
News says:
"A white prisoner chained to a ne
gro. "It was this sight that made the
blood of Charlotte white men boil
this morning.
"On East Trade street a negro
"trusty" was driving a chain gang
wagon and in this wagon in his
charge were two prisoners, a white
man and a negro, chained together.
"Probably fifty people saw them
as the wagon moved down Trade
street. White men were indignant
at the sight and asked hotly who was
responsible for the outrage. Mr.
John P. Morris saw it and resolved
at once to get the white man's re
lease. He asked the prisoner what
he was sent to the chain gang for,
and when told the amount of the
fine proceeded to raise it in short or
der. "The white man said his name was
Charles Crowder, and he was from
Mooresville. "I was arrested for a
plain drunk," he said. "I didn't
harm anybody but myself, I might
have somehow raised the amount ol
the present fine $2.50, but the police
added to the bill the balance due on
an old fine for drunkenness that I
owed last February, and made the
amount $5.10, so I had to serve time
on the road."
"Robert Phifer, a negro, was in
charge of the two prisoners. He is
what is known as a "trusty," i. e., a
convict, who by good conduct has
won the confidence of the boss of the
camp, and who is allowed a large
measure of liberty.
He said he was sent in by Mr.
Stancill for the convicts, he found a
white man and a negro to carry out,
and chained them together as a mat
ter of course. Deputy Sheriff John
son refused to handcuff them togeth
er, he said, and so he (the trusty)
chained them himself."
This is a sample of Democratic
"wnue supremacy." cnariotte is
a Democratic city under the control
of Democratic officials. Democrats
alone are responsible for this outrage

SrNATOR CAFFERYS OPINION
Washington, D. C, March 17, 1898.
To the Times-Democrat.
Section T of the amended suffrage
amendment Is unconstitutional, In
my opinion, because it establishes a
privileged class of voters for three
generations without qualifications,
while it Imposes qualifications on all
other citizens, and because, in fact,
it discriminates against the colored
people of Ijouisiana.

APPEALS TO THE LADIES.
Ladies In Politics Not Enough Leran to
Pave the Lump.
In Franklin county, on June 30th
F, H. Spruil, of Louisburg, made a
very nice speech on the constitution
al amendment, in which he made
an earnest appeal to the ladies, mar
ried and single, to use their influence
to carry the amendment and help
them out this time. He insisted that
they go to work and use every
means to change votes. Since then
we see a great deal from the ladies.
But when the ladies do their work
thre will be many who will not vi
olate their oath by voting for the
amendment. It seems the Demo
crats have turned (?) Western Pop
ulists since they have put their la
dies in politics. They used to abuse
and even rotten egg Weaver when
he would encourage ladies to use
their influence in politics. If the
ladies are dragged into Democratic
politics and endorse red shirtism and
rotten egg throwing, I fear there
will not be enough religious leaven
left to purify and save the rotton
lump.

What could more emplaUcally

Iu the face of its frantic and pan

Some facts whieh prove Its hypoc

Under the existing election law
there is a County Board of Election
for each county. These board,
without exception almost, are com

are r quired by Uw to appoint jud

representation in the matter cf Eleo

such, Judges, to represent them, the
most intelligent and mrst rehab!

some few instances the men so re
commended by the People's Party
were appointed as Election Judges,

Peoplt's Party werei utterly ignored
by the County Board, and in the face
of these petitions, and over the pleas
and protests of the best white people
of the State, the Democratic County
Election Boards appointed NiettOES
