Chairman Scales Will Prosecute the Would-be Unlawful Voters. Democratic Chairman A. M Scales seeurtd a warrant this morning for Jesse VcAdoo; a negro, for illegal registration. McAdoo has not been here for t e time required by law, but registered as a citizen. He came here from Arheboro only a short while ago and has been employed as a cook. Chairman Scales expected to have tne trial this morning, but McAdoo could not be found, and it is feared he has been informed by some of his oatical henchmen and left the county. Chairman Scales has his eyes open and expects to have several of the col ored gentleman arrested for illegal registration. Many have registered in two or more precincts under assumed names, while a number of others have, like McAdoo, registered Lefore they have become citizens. The negro may well understand that if he is led into 9uch action by white republican office- seekers he ( not the office-seeker) will have to pay the penalty. Chairman Scales has determined that whoever is elected in Guilford county shall be elected by those who vote legally, and no illegal votes shall be allowed. Large and Curious Potatoes. Mr. George A. Smith has on exhi bition at the Farmers Warehouse two freak potatoes, both of which are cu riosities on account of their peculiar shape, but one is especially curious for its enormous size. The larger po tato weighs 8 pound? 10 ounces, and the smaller 5 pounds 2 ounces. Both a e rough, being covered by ridges running in all directions, but the peel ing is perfectly white, and Mr. Smith says every particle of the potato is good to eat. They grew in his garden in the northwestern part of the city, there being several bushels as large as the smaller of these. Wheel Thief Caught. A member of the firm of the Queen City Cycle Company, of Charlotte, passed through last night returning to that city with S. J. Rouse, a white man about-35 years old, who stole a wheel from the firm a few days ago. Rouse hired the wheel and thought he would have plain sailing in getting away, but alas ! a little printer's ink brought him to bay. The Queen City Cycle Company advertised their loss in the Charlotte papers and the police at Hillsboro arrested Rouse. The wheel was found in Durham. The gen tleman said his company had lost fif teen wheels and had recovered every one by advertising. A Successful Supper. The oyster supper, given in the Groome building last night by the La dies' Aid Society of Centenary Church, was a flattering success considering the short time spent in preparing for it. The ladies went to work with a will, and made hay while the sun shone, and when the time arrived every thing was ready. Nearly all the oys ters and refreshments were sold, and a handsome sum netted for the Society. The Society wishes to return thanks to those who assisted in making the un dertaking a success, and also to those who patronized it so liberally. The Fifth Cavalry. By Wire to Thb Telbgbam.

OF A REVOLUTION, Wilmington's Business Men Ap peal To The Governor. PEOPLE DRIVEN TO DESPERATION Beg The Governor to Make a Sacrifice To' Turn Aside Impending Calam ity That May Cost Many Lives Washington, N. C, Oct. 27 Col. James E. Boyd, Assistant Attorney General, has returned from a trip to North Carolina and has given out lor publication two"; letters; one to the Governor from prominent business men of Wilmington, the other the Governor's answer. The letter from the citizens of Wilmington was ad dressed to Russell personally in his capacity as a local politician, but his letter is in the shape of an official! an swer of a Governor to an appeal, i Col. Boyd gave out the letters heie in such a manner as to leave the im pression that the letter from Alexan der Sprunt & Sons and others, was an official appeal, but private informa tion from the most reliable source is t the effect that 'one of the parties signing the appeal has written a friend here about the matterand mentions the letter as a personal one to the.Govern or. Such the Governor is supposed to have understood it since he did not make the letters public in North Caro lina and only expected them to be seen in fhe north, where he wishes to foil the correct idea of the situation, which is fast planting itself in the public minds. This is the correspondence. APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR. "Wilmington. N. C, Oct. 24, '98. "Hon. D L. Russell, Raleigh, N. C: "Dear Sir: We have been deeply concerned during the past week by the very excited state of our inhabitants, in view of the approaching election, which threatens to provoke a war be tween the wfiite and black races. "We have frequently observed dur ing political campaigns in the past a degree of hostility which at times ap peared to threaten the public peace, but which passed off when wiser coun sel prevailed; but the present state of excitement is apparently and really beyond bounds, and we declare to you our conviction that we are on the brink of a revolution, which can only be averted by the suppression of & republican ticket. "The white people and tax payers generally protest that they have been driven to desperation, and we have no hesitation in saying that even the usu al indiscretion of political parsons on the next e'ection day will precipitate a conflict which may cost hundreds and perhaps thousands of lives, and the partial or entire destruction of the city. "We, therefore, on behalf of the conservative business firms in Wil mington, deeply interested in the peace and welfare of our community, entreat you, as the representative of the' republican party here, to meet the emergency and avert a calamity by the means which we have indicated, or by some other personal or political sacrifice, which would be gratefully recognized and approved by our con servative and patriotic people, who look ta you in this extremity. "Respectfully, "Alex Sprunt & Sons, "John Wilder Atkinson, "J. H. Sloan, "William Gilchrist, "Corbett & Gore." THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY. Governor Russell's reply -was as follows : ' ' Gentlemen : The substance of your letter is that the republican ticket of New Hanover county must be sup pressed; that is that the republican vo ters of that county shall not vote the ticket of their party; that if they do so, there will be revolution and conflict which may cost hundreds and perhaps thousands of lives and the partial or utter destruction of the city. "Who constitute, who are the men on this republican ticket ? The repub lican convention of New Hanover county has not nominated a ticket. According to my information they propose to nominate a ticket that will be composed, with one exception of white men. That excep tion is the register of deeds, a colored man who has held that office for two years; who, I am informed and be lieve, is competent and has made a reasonably good officer, and as to whom I have heard no complaint as to his official conduct. The Republicans propose, as I am informed, to vote for the following members of the legisla ture: For the Senate, B. P. Keith ; for the House, D. L. Gore and R. B. Davis. "Now, who are these men?

At a call meeting of the board of aldermen last night, the board bought two new engines and one new boiler for the electric light plant. As there has been so much misun derstanding regarding the closing of the registration books heretomorrow, we refer our readers to chapter 159, Sec. 9, of the laws of 1895 and amend ed by chapter 185, Sec. 9, of the laws of 1897, applicable to registration which reads as follows: And Buch registrars shall also between the hours of 9 a. m. and 2 p. m. for four consec utive Saturdays, and between the hours of 9. a. m. and 12 m. on the sec ond Saturday preceeding the election at the voting place of said precinct, beginning on the sixth Saturday, next precesding the day of election, keep open said books for the registration of any electors residing in said pre cinct and entitled to registration there in, whose names have never before been registered ia such precint or do not appear in the revised list. Said books shall be closed for regis tration on the second Sat urday night next, preceding the day of election at 12 o'clock, m., ex cept that in incorporated towns and cities, the registration shall be closed a 9 p. m. of the same day We under stand by the foregoing article that voters living outside of the corporate limits of the city will have to register before 12 o'clock noon, and the books will be opes for the voters living in side the limits until 9 o'clock, p. m.

The Forcing of the Cuban Debt on the Spaniards. By Cable To Thb Tklbgram. Paris, Oct. 28. The American and Spanish peace commissioners refuse to acknowledge the authenticity of -the information concerning yesterday's session. Before the session a rupture was expected, or prolonged negotia tions. Now it is certain the Spanish will waive the Cuban debt, the highest authority saying the Spanish as a last resort will take the ground public ly that , her Cuban debt will make Spain unable to carry her external debt, thus exciting European holders who will interfere. Meanwhile there is some hope of solution as a means of compensation the Philippine ques tion is the next to be examined. It is certain there will be no decisive action before the American commis sion. There is a rumor that the dem ocratic members of the commission may resign. SPANIARDS AT HOME. Madrid, Oct. 28 The Spanish peace commissioners have returned from Paris to Madrid, protesting in legal form because of the refusal of the Americans to accept the proposition submitted to them on behalf of Spain. The Sagasta ministry then resigned. Thacker & Brockmann have just opened up a big line of ladies and child rens union suits and underwear of all kinds, cotton, cotton and wool and all wool.

WHITE MEN'S CONFERENCE, Thirty Thousand People atGoHs boro To-Day. A TREMENDOUS DEMONSTRATION. Five Thousand Ladles Present Great Speeches Enthusiasm Runs High Imposing Parade. Special to Thk Telegram. , Goldsboro, Oct. 28 It is estimated that there are thirty thousand people here today attending the great White Supremacy conference. Heavily load ed trains came in for several, hours after sunrise, and the whole outlying country is one mass of carriages, bug gies, wagons, carts etc. The flower of Eastern Carolina wom anhood to the number of five thousand are here and they are as much interest and as earnest if possible, as the de termined men. X The great parade this morning was one of the most imposing sights ever witnessed in the state. There were three thousand horsemen in line, all wearing red shirts, white government buttons .and carrying flags. Experienced men say it is . the larg est public gathering of any kind that ever assembled in North Carolina on any occasion and the belief is univer sal that from now on it is only a ques--tion of how much will be the majority in the state. The demonstration that greeted the news of earnest work in the west, and the message from Forsyth especially : Hold the fort for we are coming." was unprecedented. The cheers were mingled with sobs of joy, and women actually screamed with delight. Messrs. Jarvis, Watson, Gilliam, Waddell, Aycock, Neal, Simmons and Guthrie made rousing speeches, and the attention of the vast multitude was close throughout. Messrs. W. E. Fountain, of Edge combe, and J. A. Farmer, of WilsonH formerly influential members of the fusion party, publicly embraced dem ocracy and promised a hearty support of the white man's ticket amid a most remarkable demonstration. Maj. Wm. A. Guthrie presided, and made the welkin ring with his noble end manly utterances. THE FAIR A BIG SUCCESS The Excellent Work of Col. John S. Cunningham. No man in North Carolina has a better right to feel good today than Col. John S. Cunningham, of Person county, who, as president of the State Agricultural Society, has achieved a record-breaking success in a Sta'.e fair. His faithful and efficient work is ap preciated and fittingly recognized by his re-election as president of the Agri cultural Society. Yesterday was the big day at the fair. It was estimated that there were fifteen to eighteen thousand people at the fair grounds. It has been many years since, if, indeed, there ever was such a crowd in attendance on the State Fair. Fine looking people, too. The flower and beauty of North Caro lina manhood and womanhood were there. The writer was there also. We will not attempt to mention the nany attractive and highly creditable exhibits. We attempted to go through floral hall and the main buildings, but having a personal aversion to em ploying any of the tactics used in a football game in a crowd like that, we failed to get through. In the jostle, however, we drifted around to where great, attractive signs bore the words "Simpson-Shields Shoe Company," and there we anchored to look for a few moments on the splendid exhibit mode by our valued and esteemed townsmen, who have achieved such signal success in the wholesale shoe business. Parties who had a good opportunity of viewing the exhibits throughout and in every department told us they were first class, and showed the resources and possibilities of the Old North State off to fine advantage. Viewed from the third story of the grand stand the sight was most impos ing. A splendid view of the race track was had and looking to the left toward the main building for several hours the ground was one mass of crowded and jostling but good-natured humanity. We copy the account of the racing as printed in the Morning Post this morning : SPLENDID RACING EVENTS. For nearly five solid hours during the afternoon the lovers of horseflesh and good racing had,' ample opportu nity to indulge themselves. Beginning at 1 o'clock the racing began and lasted until dark, during which time four very interesting races were pulled off. Following is a sum 'mary of these events: The first two trotting races were not so exciting as the running race and final trotting match which followed, as the heats were not so closely contested. First Trotting Race There were four entries and three starters in this race, the latter being: ''Maggie Car roll," b. m., belonging to J. W. Men efee, and "Hollywood Nut," the prop erty of Harlem Valley Stock Farm. Class 2 20; best 3 in 5; purse $200. Maggie Carroll won in three straight heats. Second Trotting and Pacing Race Nominee, Lamp Girl and Edward con tested for this 2.35 class, free-for-all, $300 purse, "Nominee" (a Norfolk horse ) winning each of tha three heats with "Lamp Girl" second each time. A CLOSE CONTEST. The next race, for runners best 2 in 3, one mile heats, for a purse of $200, was closely contested by "Classic B,'' ch. m., owned by A. P. Quarles, and "Vermont Bradford," ch.g., the prop erty of David Murphy. "Grandma," a gr. m., owned by G. J. Engleking, also started, but was withdrawn after the second heat. First heat Vermont Bradford, 1 ; Classics, 2; Grandma, 3. Time, 1:49. Second heat Classic B, 1; Brad ford, 2 Grandma, 3. Time, 1:47. Third heat -Classic B, 1 ; Bradford, 2. Time. 1:48. Both horses were largely backed at odds of 5 to 2 and 3 to 5 against Brad ford and even money on Classic B, who won the third heat and the race in a preUy contest. INTERESTING TROTTING EVENT. t But the most interesting raie of the day was the "trotting and pacing, free for-all North Carolina horses whose records are not under 2:35," and for a $200 purse. After four hotly contested heats "Glencoe," an Alamancecounty.horse, won the socond, third and fourth heats and the race in average time of 2:30 and a fraction. The following starters contested for this purse: "Glencoe," ch. g., owned by B. N. Hughes;" Erna M., br. m., owned by Cross and Linehan, of Ral eigh," Rowland S.," br. m., owned by Henry T. Knott; "Rowdy Boy," br. g., Thos. Pace. First Heat; Erna M., 1; Rowland S. 2; Glencoe, 3: Rowdy Boy, 4, Time, 2:30. Second Heat: Glencoe, 1; Rowland S., 2; Erna M., 3; Rowdy Boy, 4. Time, 2:30. Third Heat: Glencoe, 1; Rowdy Boy, 2; Rowland S , 3; Erna M., 4. Time, 2:31. Fourth Heat: Glencoe, 1; Rowland 3., 2; Rowdy Boy, 3; Erna M., 4. Time, 2:30. The last heat was hotly contested by Glencoe and Rowland S., many believ ing until the last length was covered that the latter might win it, and back ing their judgment. This horse had many admirers who predicted a bright future for the animal. Glencoe is a young horse and is just making his debut this year. The mettle and the flesh and muscle are there and this horse will bo heard from even more prominently at future fairs. It was almost dark when the last race was finished and $900 in purses won by the contesting horses during the day. The interesting trials of speed were greatly enjoyed by thous ands of the visftors.
