Governor Russell, Senator Pritcbard and other engineers of the mongrel party of this State, have the gall to assert that "intimidation of voters " is being prac ticed by Democrats in this State, in the face of the well knownfact tbatthe negro voters of the State are victims of the most unrelenting' and fearful intimida tion by people of. their own race, in which they are encouraged by Russell, Pritcbard and other machine managers of their composite party. The man of colored skin who would dare vote the Democratic ticket, or fail to vote the fusion ticket, would do so at his peril, and at once become the victim of perse cution by his own race.' His life would be made miserable if he were permitted to UVfc. Wo published several days ago an edi torial from the Kinston Searchlight, a negro paper, which vehemently denounced every negro who failed to register or to vote the fusion ticket, declaring that they ought to be driven from the country," and appealing to negro wives to aban don their husbands if they failed to regis ter or to vote the fusion ticket, and to unmarried women to discard and ostra cize their sweethearts if they failed to Lcome to the scratch and vote against the Democrats Recently a meeting of some negro so ciety is this city passed resolutions, which were published in the negro organ here, substantially endorsing the advice of the negro editor in Kinston, and de claring that tbey would make it hot for any negro woo didn't vote as be was expected to vote, Talk about intimidation, when it is thus brought right to the homes and the hearths of the negroes by negroes tbem selves, with the consent and connivance of the white bosses, and every negro who might be disposed to act on his own judgment is given to understand that he would become a social outcast and his life be made a hell, if he was permitted to live at all. This is the refinement of intimidation, but Dan Russell, Jeter Pritcbard Co, can't see it, and have nothing to say on that line. Before they chirp on "intimi dation" they should begin at borne aud teach their black following what "a free ballot" means." Sowing Pan? Seed. During early October is a good time for Bowing pansy seed for next spring's supply of plants for bedding out. The reason lor ran sowing out or doors is that the plants are not then subjected to the hot, drying influences of th6 house, which are so likely to bring on red spider and other troubles. Prepare a bed of very richporona loam on a well drained location. Place over it a frame to be filled with forest leaves as a protection to the little plants overwinter. After sowing the seed in the bed eif t a very light covering of soil over tne seed, merely enough to rude them. During the process of germina tion never allow the bed to dry out, as moisture is essential to perfect germina tion of any seed. , : ' . As severe weather approaches cover the bed with a few inches of litter of some Eort, forest leaves being preferable. At the proper time in the spring the seedlings may be pricked out of the soil in the seedbed and transferred to the bed in which they are to bloom. Wom an's Home Companion.

It is certain that the Spanish will" waive the question o: Cuban debt. f ; There is the best authority for saying that , the Spanish, as; a last resort, wil take the ground publicly that her Cuban debt will make Spain unable to carry an external debt, thus exciting European holders of her bonds to interfere. Mean while there is some hope that a notation means compensation for the Philippines, which question is the next to b exam ined. It is certain there will be no desis- ive action before the American oomm is- eion.

He freely .condemns and denounces what be calls the "incendiary andinffam matory speeches which have been made by Democratic speakers," but he is silent as the grave as to the infernal harangues of both white and black radical speakers and the detestable, bitter, insulting writ ings of the negro press, not only offend ing the men of the White liace, but off ering the most base insinuations and making the most sweeping attack upon the white women of the State. Pritch- ard has no condemnation for these cruel, malignant and -' debauched assaults these reckless, incendiary appeals, from his own bad set, but they are, it may an be supposed, delightful music to bis soul and sweet morsels under his slanderous tongue. sio such attempts to fire the wicked na ture of the negroes as have been made in this State since the dark, damning days of tanoy bayonets, and accursed recon struction. No such, wicked, cruel, base, devilish talk has been heard on the stump in North Carolina as has oeen during the present campaign from the throats and black hearts of barbarians and traitors of the white race. Killing the whites has been the theme of inspiration, hanging or burning negroes who voted with the whites has smitten the air and vet no white radical has opened his lips in cen sur. Yob would Tstfbpose from ' Jeter ritchard's way of putting it that the white men of the State were inciting their fellows to a war, when in fact noth ing but the marvelous forbearance and inbred conservatism of the white men have prevented a war of races weeks ago in Wilmington.
