The negro, Rufe Charles,' who re
ceived the blow on the head here night
before last was taken to his home at
Sandy Ridge this morning. His in
juries are not as serious as was first
reported.
Rev. J. F. McCulloch, of Greens
boro, prohibition candidate for the
senate, spoke here last night in the
warehouse to about twenty people. It
is said by those who heard him that
he made a good speech.
Woody Brothers Convention and
Concert Co. gave a free concert in the
Methodist church last night. They are
the finest singers that have ever visit
ed this city. They will give another
concert next Wednesday night after
prayer-meeting. Their object is to
organize a singing school. About
thirty joined last night. Their terms
are five lessons for $2.00, if you are
convinced that you have learned how
to sing after they have given five les
sons. Two of them went to Asheboro
today and are expected to return to
morrow, if so they will sing in the
Methodist church Sunday. You will
miss a musical treat if you fail to hear
them. We trust that they will succeed
in organizing a large class here. Ev
erybody is invited to attend the con
cert n xt Wednesday night.
We failed to mention yesterday that
the Young Ladies Democratic Club
met the day before and added several
more names to the roll. The club re
ceived an exceedingly encouraging let
ter from Mrs. Clio Cunningham Wof
ford, whose letters appeared in the
Telegram not long since. Her letter
appears in today's Enterprise. We
are pleased to know thr.t the club is
accomplishing great good, 88 is al
ways the case when the ladies become
aroused on a subject.
Cyrus Cummings is building an eight
room house on the corner of Russell
and Willowbrooke streets.
We have-heard Republicans talking
about Democratic lies, now we wish to
ask the republicans what kind of a lie
that is being told not only by repub
lican men but by ladies too that the
negro that was beat by a democrat in
Thomasville the day of barbacue was
dead. This report is fabe. There
was no negro beat by a democrat there
that day. A negro was arrested by
an officer who asked the assistance of
some-other men to help tie the brute,
but he is not dead. Th;s was the ne
gro that tried to tear a democratic
button off a white man's coat. The
negro that died was stabbed by some
other person. The parties that are
spreading this lie should be indicted
for slander.
White men get your lanterns and
flags ready for the "big white mets'
parade" next Monday night. Which
will you follow, the band, the ladies
and the procession of white men to
hear Major S ted man and Mr. Wat
son, or the negroes and a few white
faced men to hear Jim Boyd. This is
the first chance you have ever had to
show your "colors" to ladies and the
many other visitors. Every white
man from everywhere is cordially in
vited to take part in this great event.
Day before yesterday some little
white boys and some negroes had a
little trouble on the street near the
Tate Furniture Company. That after
noon the negroes, about ten in num
ber, waj laid the white boys, and would
have got the best of them had it not
been for some men in the factory, who
ran out and interfered. Upon the
strength of this four men, who were
going to vote the republican ticket said
that they could see very plainly what
this country was coming to and swore
then and there that they would vote
the democratic ticket from now on.
So much for that.
A large crowd was at the depot last
night to congratulate Mr. and Mrs.H.
C. Fields, who were married yesterday
noon in Tacoa, Ga. Mrs. Fields is a
sister to Mrs. William Lee Harrell,
instead of Rev. Mr. Harrell, as was
stated in these columns day before yes
terday. They will have rooms at the
home of Mr. Fields' father for the
present.

Owing to deep cold and hoarseness
the appointment for Hon. C. M. Sted
man to speak here has been changed
from tonight until tomorrow night.

speech making in this campaign, and

FITZ, LEE'S MOTHER IS DEAD
Much Sympathy is Expressed
For The General.
PLANS FOR CUBAN OCCUPATION
The North Carolina Political Situa-
atlon as Viewed From The
National Capital.
Special to the Telegram.
Washington, Nov. 4. News of the
death of Mrs. Lee, mother of General
Lee was received in Washington late
yesterday afternoon. At the war de
partment much sympathy is expressed
for the General. It is probable that
the President will send to the General
a message expressing his condolence.
At the war department up to a late
hour yesterday no word had been re
ceived personally from the General,
but it is not thought that he will leave
for Savannah before Thursday of
next week.
Provided the General is in Virginia
on election day it is likely that he will
vote in the congressional electiqn.
The plans for the occupation of Cuba
are being formulated by the .war de
partment, and it is stated at the de
partment that the movement will take
place about December 1st. It is said,
however, that Havana will not be oc
cupied until after the rest of the island
is .fully garrisoned by the United
States troops. This is a change in
the policy on the part of the war de
partment, and it is occasioned by the
recommendation of the special board,
of which Col. Hecker is president.
The plans of the war department have
been changed so often within the past
week, that it is hard to tell what the
officials do contemplate It is an
nounced one day at the department
that a certain thing is to be done, and
the next day the whole thing has been
rearranged. It is now said that no
large movement of troops will take
place before the latter part of the
month. At the war department it is
said that the transports are being rap
idly put in readiness for the movement
but that they cannot be gotten to Sa
vannah earlier than the 20th instant.
In regard to the taking formal posses
sion of Cuba, in spite of statements
made to the contrary, the war depart
ment officials say that no change in
the original policy has taken place,
and that the island will come formally
under the protection of the American
flag on January 1st, as originally
contemplated.
It is not expected that General Lee
will come to Washington city again
before he leaves for Savannah, though
it is possible that next week he may
conclude to take a run over for a short
while.
On account of the great political ex
citement in North Carolina, the lead
ers at the republican congressional
headquarters in Washington express
fears that they may lose several seats
from the state. This will almost
surely result unless the republicans
are able to poll the full negro vote of
the state on Tuesday. The seats now
held by the republicans are the Sec
ond, Eighth, and Ninth districts. The
re-election of Mr. Pearson is expected,
but the republicans fear that they may
lose the Second and Eighth districts.
In the Second district it is thought that
the populist nominee will be elected
over the negro White, and it is under
stood that if he is elected he will act
with the democrats in the house. It is
thought, too, that the democrats may
reclaim some of the seats now held by
populist congressmen from North Car
olina. A gentleman said yesterday
that the prospects were good he
thought, for the election of seven out
of nine congressmen from North Car
olina. The prospects are improving
as election day approaches, which is
always a good sign. One of the
strange features of the North Caroli
na campaign is that while the demo
cratic committee of the Second district,
are said to concede White's re-election,
the republican congressional commit
tee, when speaking privately, admit
that White will be defeated.
Col. Pilcher, a member of the Vir
ginia legislature, is in the city. He
says that the campaign in the state has
been very quiet this year, but that he
expects the democrats to get out a full
vote. The only danger the democracy
has to contend against, he says, is a
feeling of over confidence. He says
the organization in every district is in
good shape.
Another prominent Virginia politi
cian in the city is Mr. Witcher, a pop
ulist leader of Danville. Mr. Witcher
says that most of the populists in the
state, in his opinion, will vote the dem
ocratic ticket this year, and he be
lieves that a solid delegation will be
elected.
Col. C. A. Cardwell and wife, of
Wilmington, are at the Metropolitan
Hotel. Mr. Cardwelf says that when
he left Wilmington the excitement was
very great over politic, but that he
does not appreTlemJ any trouble on
election day. '(.
Mr. W. N. Devener, a brother of
Representative Devener, of West Vir
ginia, is In the city. Mr. Dovener says
that West Virginia la in the republi
can party to stay, and that four repub
licans will be elected again to the next
House.
Dr. Cary, a prominent physician of
the State of Maine, is in the city en
route for Goldsboro, N. C, where he
goes with his wife for the benefit of her
health. The Dr. and wife will remain
in the south during the coming winter.
North Carolina people in the city
are John L. Efland, Winston ; W. C.
Graves, Magnolia, and G. A. Card
well and wife, of Wilmington.

minutes despite the efforts of the phy
sician present.
Evacuation Assured,
By Cable to The Tklbgham.
London, Nov. 4 The Central News
has received a dispatch which says the
evacuation of Fashoda is assured. The
ministry has been largely influential
in taking this course by pressure of
the representations from various towns
which memorized the government in
favor of peace. Thetone of the news
papers is now less pessimistic.

By Wire to the Tilbgram.
Washington, Nov. 4. The Supreme
Court has delivered petitions .from

until the rules are promulgated by the
courts. The court is now formulating
rules.

TWO PEACE COMMISSIONS
Are la Session This Afternoon la
Paris.
SPAIN DECLINES OUR PROPOSAL
The Americans Will Carefully Con
slder The Matters No Drastic
Measures Will Be Taken.
By Cable to The Telegram.
Paris, Nov. 4. The two peace com
missions met this afternoon. The
Americans were aware before the ses
sion met that the Spaniards would de
cline their proposal, which was made
last Monday, to take the entire Philip
pines and pay only the debts actually
incurred by Spain, for the benefit of
the Island.
The statement is presented here today
with much display to the effect that
the Americans will insist upon the
complete surrender of Spain's sover
eignty in the event a refusal is issued
as "an ultimatum. ' If no ultimatum is
contemplated there is no probability
that drastic" measures will be taken by
the Americans.
The two commissions are now consid
ering .the open question, and the
Americans expect to patiently weigh
all matters involved and carefully
consider the arguments of the Span
iards. A LATER DISPATCH.
Paris, Nov. 4. The Spaniards re
fused the proposition of the Ameri
cans, but negotiations were not
broken off While it is bejieved that
no formal counter proposition was
made there was a discussion of the
Philippine question outside of the
lines of American propositions. The
commissions then adjourned until
Tuesday.

Being: Correct.

Washington, Nov. 4. There is a re
port in circulation to the effect that
the war department, with soma appear
ance of authority, but without official
conflrmatioji, issued orders last night

to-news of a discouraging natur? from
the peace commissioners.

By Cable To Tm Telegram.
London, Nov. 4. Kitchener reply
ing to the Lord Mayor's address in
presenting the sword, expressed his
deep and heartfelt thanks. He said

THE CANDIDATES LAST NIGHT.
Democrats Speak to Court House
Full of Voters.
The democratic county and legisla
tive candidates spoke last night to the
courthouse full of enthusiastic and
determined voters. Despite the fact
that public and personal invitations
had been extended the republican
nominees to be present and meet the
democrats in joint debate, none of
them were present. The county can
didates merely announced themselves,
taking about five minutes time each.
Mr. Bunch, candidate for the house,
was ill and had to remain at home.
John C. Kennett, candidate for the
house, rose amid a mighty wave of
applause and made a rousing speech.
Kennett is one of the best speakers in
the field and is inspired by the woe
ful condition of eastern North
Carolina. He is a true, honest,
patriotic man, and is in the race
to help raise his state from the depths
of disgrace to which she has fallen in
the past two years. He made an earn
est and effective appeal to the voters
of Guilford county to do their part to
redeem eastern I North Carolina and
help the white people of that part of the
state to throw off negro rule and
again put North Carolina In the hands
of decent, honorable and able white
men.
John N. Wilson, candidate for the
senate, followed Kennett with a telling
speech When he arose he called for
G. Sam Bradshaw. G. Sam had been
in the court house until the close of
Kennett' s speech, when, knowing that
Wilson would follow, he sheepishly
made his exit. This alone should lose
him many white votes in Greensboro.
Wilson reviewed his opponent's politi
cal record, showing it to his au Hence
in its true light and Bradshaw's rec
ord is as black as the skin of his ne
gro followers. After reviewing Brad
shaw's past political doings . and say
ings the speaker took up the issues and
made powerful and pointed appeals for
White Supremacy. All the candidates
seemed to be at their best and their
speeches made many' White Supre
macy votes.
The sorriest spectacle of the cam
paign is that of the cowardly refusal
of the fusion candidates to meet the
democrats here In joint debate. The
man who is afraid or ashamed to meet
his opponent among his home people,
deserves crushing defeat. We have
charged that Duglas and Bradshaw
would not n: ake the same 8 peaches here
that they made in other parts of the
county. It Is pretty safe to say now
that they will not speak here at all.
If they do it will not be announced be
forehand. Personified Ignorance
"Governor Russell tells The Wash
ington Post man now in this State,
writing a series of letters on the politi
cal situation and developments, that
the Republican party suffers sadly
from the lack of representative and
capably conducted newspaper organs."
It was the late Maj. Wm. A, Smith,
of Johnston, who, when solicited to
take stock in a Republican daily paper
which it was proposed to establish at
Raleigh, made reply that there was
little sense In printing a paper for a
party which can't read. Charlotte
