This witness has our sympathy and we hope he gave the lawyer a good one. There is entirely two much of this sort of thing in our courts, and the law seems to afford wit nesses no protection. Raleigh Cor. Messenger: Senator But ler is sending out from Populist head quarters a great many thousand of circulars marked confidential, in which he alleges that the oath prescribed in the new election law differs from that pre scribed by the constitution and "in structs" Populists to demand that the latter oath be administered. Butlernow has five stenographers and abouttwentv clerks at work day and tight at head quarters. The Populist campaign work must cost tbe Republicans a great deal oi money. "THE WHITE MAN." A Paper By That Name Is of the "Lower Class of Whites," Circu- lated Seoretly. A Black - Lie Circulated About Tuckahoe White Supremacy Club. Written for The Free Pbss. There has been distributed around town, and, we suppose, throughout the county, a dirty little lying sheet, mis called "The White Man," and we are in formed it is being distributed by a man unfortunately with a white skin, but from his occupation, with low principles, a sheet endorsed nor signed by no one except bearing upon its title page to have been published at Raleigh, N. C, and from its contents and principles, evidently eminating from Butler's dirt shop. Said sheet contains the following foul slander: "it was charged at Trenton by Mr. II. F. Sea well, Populist, and tbe charge can be proven to be true, that the White Su- Eremacy club at Tuckahoe, Jones county, ad for its president a negro. The charge was not denied." A more vile slander could not be spoken or written against the good people of Jones county and .most especially Tuck ahoe precinct. The promoters and pub lishers of this dirty sheet know by the cowardly manner by which they circulate these accursed lies and misrepresenta tions they cannot be called to account for their slanders, hence they hire un principled white men to do their dirty work. ' '. Mr. T.D. Warren, the Democratic nom inee for 8th senatorial district, is a resi dent of Jones county, canvassing in this county, having his attention called to this statement, says be was present at Trenton on June 80th when the afore said "Mr. II. F. Seawell" made his speech, ana says emphatically, that eeawell made no such charge, and no one was called on to deny tbe same; that tbe said statement is a lie, and an infamous slan der against tbe good people of thecounty of Jones. That the White Supremacy club of Tuckahoe is ; officered by good white men, and the president of the club is the present member of 'the general assembly of North Carolina from Jones county, Hon. Geo. 0. Noble, who has been its president ever since it was or ganized. To what straits have these bad men been driven, as to resort to such meas ures to deceive some thoughtless white voter? White men! will you believe such of your race, even If it is circulated by the Butler gang? lie threatened, with the aid of nefiTcx, to whip you out of the State. He does not resort to -force, cow ardly as Satan himself, andlikethe father of lies, he has resorted to this measure to win where be has not tbe manhood to make the statement over his name. And he has we!l selected his henehman for his dirty work. But no white man of sense t ill be deceived by such base lie. ! t M '. S FINE GAME OF BALL. Kinston Beat La Grange, 8 to 6, In ' An Interesting Game. Those who saw tbe game of ball yester day between Kinston and LaGrange were well repaid for their time and money, as it was about tbe best game we have bad here this season. The LaGrange team has some good material in1t and they could give a good account of themselves if they would brush up ta some of the points of the game. They show lack of team work, which indicates that tbe boys do not get sufficient practice with every man in bis place in the field. If they had the drilling some of the other teams in the State have they would be hard to down. We do not wish to be misunderstood as crit icising them offensively. They are a nice, clever set of boys and we are simply showing wherein Kinston had the ad vantage. The frame was called bv Umpire Had ley at 2:55 p. m., with the local team at bat and Whitley in the box lor the vis itors. An error, a hit and four passed balls gave Kinston three runs in the first inning, while LaGrange went out one, two. three. In the second with G. S. Parks in tbe box for LaGrange, the local boys got one earned run by means of a hit and two stolen bases by Herbert and a sacrifice by Suggs. LaGrange again went out one, two, three. - In the third neither side scored, but one of the funny things of the game occurred when Wooten lined out what would have been a clean two-bagger to left, but tried his face on the umpire by running short of first while the umpire s back was turned. He made third and by the rules should have held that base, but the umpire decided otherwise and sent him back to first. W e do not quarrel with the justice of this decision but the rules would not justify it, as the umpire has no supervision over things he does not see. So Wooten got no credit for his two-bageer. About the smoothest thing in thegame was done by Oettinger while he was temporarily in right field in the ninth innintr. There was a man on third when "along fly went intoOettinger'sterritory, It was caught ana itemed so quickly to plate that the runner could not get off of third base. The throw was a tine one, but the run was scored later by a passed ball. Y. Suggs work in the box was fine. In the six innings pitched by him he gave up only two bits. There is the making of a wonderful pitcher in the kid when he becomes hardenedjto his work. , r a l : 2 v. ' a 1 . t. ,1 .

Bryan and Stevenson will be formally notified of their nomination at Indian apolis on August 8tn. Booker T.

According to the official reports, the deaths last week in the Bombay district, numbered from cholera 10,820, and from famine 6,502. Six millions of people are now receiving relief. . A boy calling himself George Smith, of Wilmington, N. C, gives the police at Chester, Pa., important information as to the attempt to wreck a Baltimore & Ohio train near Chester. Kepu'olican Congressman H. U. John sot, of Indiana, announces that he in tends to vote the Democratic ticket this year. He says while he regards Bryan's financial policy as an economic mistake, he is with Democracy on greater issues. Near Cumberland, Md., Thursday, the 13-year-old son of Henry Robinette was drowned in Fifteen Mile Creek, near his home, while bathing. He arose and sank five times in sight of companions power less to help him, the ; last time shouting "Farewell." Geo., Stotlemeyer recovered the body with a garden rake. ? v Charles R.

The victims were not all killed at once, but were allowed to see their . comrades killed. ' The natives were trad ers who had just landed when they were fired on. Many were killed and their bodies carried ashore. Several men were captured alive and dragged to the actual ' scene of the feast their bodies were to provide. They were clubbed and after ward roasted or baked and eaten. A dispatch from Washington savs that men high in the Democratic councils say that not only will no special effort be made to carry New York for Brvan thi year, but the party managers do not ex- pect to carry any state east of , the AHe ghanif s and north of Maryland.

This would give 222 votes to Bryan, should he receive also the 170 votes cast for him in 1890.
