Last mint s loint caucus was a lively meeting, The bill prepared by the big fire was presented and read. It provides for five county com missioners to be elected by th peo ple : the cumulative feature being a provision allowing each voter to vote one ballot for five commissioners or five ballots for one commissioner just as the voter prefers. A few of the R ids raged but the Skinner Butler Moody Mott Guthrie combine were in the saddle and they were riding the old Repub lican Nag at a break-neck speed. Speeches were l.mited to threa minutes, but nobody heard of the three minute rnle after it was adopt ed. Mr. Skinner spoke nearly an hour in fovor of the cumulative sys tem. He confessed that two out oi oyery three yotes he received in the late election were colored yoles, but while they might be competent to crea'e a Congressman it would be dangerous to tarn them loose in the different counties to elect-magistrates and commissioners. Moody got on the front seat with Skinner in the band wagon of cum ulation and declared that Mott. who could see farther into the future than any man in the Republican party, was ctimulatist. Forture offered a substitute providing for a board of audit composed' of -three members. He spoke a piece, but it was eaid that he himself scarcely knew v. hpre he was. Cox, of Pitt, the coun'y from which Skinner bails, was the first to show fight. He wanted no cumulation in his. He fired some yery hot shot into the Skinner camp, and reminded him of the fact that he would today be a common, ordinary Jiatern JNortn Carolina agitator, instead of a Con gressman, or words to tnac ettcct, but for the colored vote. The caucus went on and on, and got warmer and warmer, while outside the wind blew colder and colder. Raleigh Obi server. . j --" Mt . Pleasant N otes.
