Attempted Murder and Robbery By a Negro. Our townsman, Mr. John Roberts, tella us that on yesterday his brother Mr. Bright Roberts, of Moore county had been to Goldston in Chatham county to transact some business, and was returning to hi i home near Car bonton when he was knocked from his mule by a young negro, Wesley Guth rie. The negro used a rock which struck Mr. Roberts on the mouihnd he was knocked senseless. The purpose pf the assault, it is thought, was robbery. Mr. Roberts is one of the most ' well-to-do farmers of bis section, and he had with him fifty or sixty dollars in cash. The ne gro who made the assault was in Golds ton while Mr. Roberts was there and it is thought that in transacting his business Mr. Roberts had exposed his money to view and that the negro saw it. The assault took place near Mr. Hamby Palmer's, whose son Hugh Palmer, saw the attack and ths negro was frightened away before he could 6ecure the cash, though Mr. Roberts was knocked senseless. The culprit was chased down and arrested last night by James Poe and Orpheus Dorsett, and safely landed in Chatham jail. Feeling runs high. The exact condition of the injured man is not known. Mr. John Roberts expects to get fuller particulars this afternoon. OLD MAIDS TAKE NOTICE. A Chance for You at Last Watch the Advertisements. A young woman who held a posi tion with one of our tobacco factories left here last week for Oklahoma Ter ritory where she expected to be united in the inseperable bonds of matri mony to a man whom she had never seen. She expected to reach her desti nation last Saturday. The man ad vertised for a wife, she answered him and a correspondence followed. Dur ing the correspondence the man stated that women were scarce out his way and finally in a bashful and round about way he stated that his inability to procure a better half had led to the insertion of the ad. In return she gave him to understand that her in ability to secure a husband had led he- to answer it. He was not long in proposing on condition that she pay her way there and if she did not suit he would send her back. She took him up and must have suited for as yet she has not re turned. The man stated in his last letter that if there were any more women here who wanted husbands they were plentiful and anxious out his way. Better Wagons and Roads. John A. Yonng has the most up-to-datewagon in the country. It was on the street yesterday drawn- by two horses and attracted a great deal of attention. The rear wheels are about two feet high, four inches thick and are made of solid wood protected by a heavy iron band. The front wheels art the same width and of propor tionate height. The bed is much wider than the common two-horse wagon and a good load may be car ried. With good, substantial roads two horses can pull double the load and with more ease than with the com mon wagon. Let our people awake to the necessity and economy of good roads and better wagons. This is the wagon of the future. The Fight Came First. Officer Whittington learned last night that there was a negro dance in progress in East Greensboro and knew of course that his services would be needed during the ensuing fight. He went 'out to be present at the func tion but he learned that, contrary to the usual order. They had decided to have the fight first and let the dance follow. The fight was over when he reached there, the participants had left and the dancing was just getting in good order. Mr. Whittington re turned feeling somewhat outwitted. He had been to. negro dances and nig ger dances but this is the first dance of any kind he has ever been to where they had the fight first. Musicians of Color. Two coons, one a jet black, the other of meerschaum color, were going around to the hotels making music with a guitar and mandolin. They played all the airs of the day and some of other days, and occasionally when a piece that had more dance than usual in it was "struck up" a negro, who was in hearing distance, would allow his feet to get away with him and get to dancing. That's natural, however; he couldn't help it. The negroes were strong negroes, but had resolved, it seems, to go through life without work. THE WIVES AND DAUGHTERS Are Calling To Men of Anglo Saxon Blood, LET TRUE MEN HEED THE CALL The Following Letter, Written By a Lady, an Adopted North Caro. Unlan, Rings of True Steel. Dear Telegram : When first we came to make our home in the old North State among the many things that caused us "wondernrent" was the fact that in this town, in this State, a Southern State, were to be found so many white republicans. "We won dered then, and still the wonder grew." How it is that a white man, born 'neath a Southern sky, reared 'neath a Southern sun, can be anything but a Simon-pure democrat is passi ng strange to us. Any one knows, or at least ought to know, democracy in the South means White Supremacy. What caused Southerners to vote against their own interests we do not know. It may be ignorance in some cases ; it must be carelessness in others, and with more it is sheer traitorism. What man of you can read the in sulting, brazenly letter written by a negro editor in his Wilmington pa per and not feel the blood leap through your veins at a quicker rate ? Do you dare let that trumpet blast bi heralded to the world as TRUTH ? I read with great pleasure that the farmers the backbone of the nation are in this State seeing the error of their way. To the good old farmer who may read these lines I bid you make haste and fight beneath the ban ner on which is cmblazened in bold letters White Supremacy. You have been led astray by political tricksters and bosses with their isms and asms, cheap money talk, and this, and that, and the other, that you didn't half un derstand; but we give to you a watch word ; one that you can understand ; one that is true. Paste it in your hat; keep it there ; think over it well, and when you go to the polls, like men vote to uphold it. Aye, indeed ! let your watchword and battle cry ever be White Supremacy. With all our heart we sympathize with the farmers. Born and reared a farmer's daughter weknow your worth. You ho, of all classes, work harder and get less for your work ; you, whose crops are bought and sold even before you run the first furrow to make them, and toyou,to all true sons.the mother state has called. The voice of the wives and daughters of your eastern brethren have called to you for help, and dare you not heed the call ? Men of North Carolina! Voters of Guilford county ! The issue is before you ! Acquit your selves like men ! Even a northerner is surprised when a southern white man votes a republican ticket. Well do we remember an inci dent that occurred on the train just af ter the last presidential election. We were speeding through the country at the rate of 40 miles per hour. Before us lay a paper announcing the -republican victory (by brilery and fraud). On the seat just behind us sat a portly man with fiery whiskers telling of all the glories that would come to us be cause of the great news. On a seat just in front of us sat a gentleman with bowed head and thoughtful mien. Thinking he, like us, was disgusted at the sight of a southern man who, Judas-like, would betray his country, we ventured to cheer our thoughtful com panion by assuring him that victory would be ours in 1900. With a quick, quiet smile, he replied: "Madam, I am from the keystone state of republi canism and can but rejoice at our vic tory," but, he as quickly added, "Ido not blame you southerners one bit. Were I a southerner, a democrat I would be. My vote will always be to uphold intelligence and virtue never with ignorance and vice. I am sur prised," he continued "to hear the gentleman who has just gotten off talk such strong republicanism." "Don't let that bother you," was my reply, "he said he was from South Carolina and South Carolina Republicans, in the estimation of their fellow states men, are below par. Like they ought to be in all southern states. Let them go with the class they vote to uphold. They are nothing but traitors every man of them, for by their votes they give their mother state stabs from which it is hard to recover. We still have great faith in the man hood of the "Tarheels." History will ever record much of which we all will be proud from Mecklenburg to Blue and Bagley. The Old North State will loose her self from the infamous gang that now have hold the helm. True sons will come to the front those who have been led astray will be the most valiant fighters. Men of Guilford county ! heed the call of ypur brethren it the east. Aye! indeed, heed the call lest the awful blight that is threatening their homes shall also fall on yours. To the 'great class of working men who have been led astray to the hon est northerner who has cast his lot with us and 'neath our sunny skies found health and wealth -we ask you to pause, give the subject deep thought. You see where ypur state is drifting unless intelligence and virtue rule. Your brethren in the east have called for help! Heed the call and at the polls settle the vital question one that interests us all. No man can shirk the responsibility. What prin ciple can be dearer to you than the honor of your homes? Men of North Carolina, meet the issue like men,' or else by indifference or carelessness, "You will build your funeral pile And your best blood will quench its flames." To the democratic editors of North Carolina we call upon to take up the fight with increased earnestness. From the mounJtain to the sea shore, sound forth the battle cry. Shame be on the head of any man who claims to be a democrat and yet still remains dumb. Silent ! when his state has called. Silent ! when the voice of the mothers and daughters of the east have come to him. Silent! when the very honor of his state and home are at stake. Such an one, like Arnold of old, must have his pockets filled with shekels and in the ranks of the enemy a captain's commission. To the edi tors whose hearts beat for the welfare of your mother state, we bid you stand firm. The best element of your state are behind you. The prayers of all true women are with you. The eyes of your sister states are upon you and their well wishes are with you. Your state stands shamed before the people help to redeem her. With intelligence and virtue, pure government and honesty in battle ar ray, ignorance and vice, dishonesty and rascality will have to find other camping ground than the Tar Heel state. We have faith to believe that demo cracysynonym of intelligence, hon esty, justice, t uth anJ white supre macy, like independence, which please God, shall never die. A Democratic Woman, "Cottage Home." High Point, N. C, Sept. 29th, 1893. A JOLLY CROWD. Three Visitors in The City and Two Residents. Three visiting gentlemen are in the city this afternoon painting it red. They have four of Tatum & Taylor's best horses drawing a nice hack on the rear seat of which are two negro musicians armed with a banjo and guitar. The banjo negro is said to be the "pickinest" thing on the continent and his associate manages to keep up with him on the guitar. The horses go through the street at full speed and everything in the hack seems to be happy while music fills the air. The banjo nigger seems to think he owns our beautiful city and often twirls his banjo in one hand while he intersperses his songs with yells. He has probably soaked the most corn juice. It is a jolly but orderly crowd however and is causing no one any trouble or harm. They are just "taking in" the town you know. MILES' PROPOSITION.

The secretary of the Span ish commission said to a representative of the press today: ' ' No member of our commission has given out any interview, and all of that which has appeared in print as to our instructions is absolutely false.
