This is based on the pre sumption that he has no inducement to falsify the facts. , Cablegram From Fowler. Washington, July 18. The state de partment has received a dispatch from Consul Gen.

Republicans In Bun' combe Threaten Violence to Poll holders. " r'".'ir A8heville, July 17. The Republican plan to stir up trouble is developing The plan is presumably ,to be worked under the pretense that the Democrats are cheating and threatening. Ths Ga zette publishes a statement from Big Ivy that the democrats are to steal the re turns as a foundation for an excuse for a Republican scheme there. As a matter of fact the Republicans in that section have for months been making tbreata of what they would do that they would mob the registrar who refused to register those whom they wanted registered, that they would cut any ropes that might be put np as provided by law to keep them from interfering with the voters at the polls, and that if the returns from certain precincts did not suit them such returns would never reach Asheville. ' In an ad joining township, Flat Creek, some Re publicans boasted that Locke Craig should not be allowed to speak there, and negroes in Ashevilie have been heard to repeat this with great glee. As the result of an effort to intimidate Democratic registrars by the aid of fed eral authority, Registrar Ransom Hyatt, of Qualla township, Jackson county, was accorded most unjust, unreasonable and arbitrary treatment yesterday. Mr. Hy ate was arrested eunaay night on & charge of refusing to register three In dians. He was carried to Webster for trial yesterday before J. T. Wike, United States commissioner. J. J. Hooker, the man whom Mr. Pearson alwavs calls on when there is any work of questionable character to be performed, was the pros- ecuung attorney, wnen tne case - was called at 2 o'clock, C. C. Cowan, Esq., asked leave to make a statement to the court in behalf of the prisoner. He said that the only lawyers in town at that time were Mr. Robertson and himself. neither of whom could defend the prisoner that day, as they had to leave immedi ateiy lor Ashevilie, where they were en gaged in the hearing before Judge Bur- well; that the prisoner had tried to get counsel from Bryson City, but that he bad failed, and Mr. Uowan thought it was only justice to 1 grant the prisoner time to get counsel from Ashevilie.! r the commissioner said: "The trial will proceed." Then in a forcible manner Mr. Cowan stated that as the registrar had been arrested only the night before, he bad not had time to procure his witnesses. or have them subpoenaed, and he asked the court to hear an affidavit from him to that effect. "He doesn't need counsel, he doesn't need witnesses; the trial will proceed," the court said. Mr. Cowan then said: "The court will refuse to hear any affidavits from me?" to which , the commissioner replied, "Yes, the trial will proceed." Mr. Cowan then asked leave to read an affidavit for removal on the ground that he eould not get justice be fore the commissioner, and that the law required that the prisoner should be brought before the nearestcommissioner, and that there were four commissioners in this case nearer than Wike, The com missioner refused even to hear these' affl davits, and while be was talking the court was swearing the witnesses and the trial was proceeding. The defendant, seeing be could not getany justice waived examination and gave a f 2,000 bond. baseballT" State League Games. . Wednesday. , ,v . Ch arlotte 4, Raleigh 1. Tarboro 14, Durham 13.

Interesting North Carolina Items In Condensed Form. ' Scotland Times: The colored men of Laurinburg are certainly doing , their part towards having peace in August, next. We are infdrmed that only one negro has been registered. Such volun tary surrender is the best evidence in the world that we are all ready to say, "Let ij8 have peace." ' Wilmington Messenger: In some of the counties in Eastern North Carolina the white leaders put the older negroes np to adding a few years to their age so they can register, vote and dodge the poll tax. But the white people soon caught on to that game, confronting the aforesaid darkies with previous lists where their ages were entered, had some of them arrested for perjury and bound over to court, and stopped that racket. Fayetteville Observer: Burglars op erated on an extensive scale in Hope Mills early this rooming. They carried off a lot of plunder, though nothing of any great Value. The following bouses were entered and robbed of various ar ticles: Mr. Jesse Newton's, Mr. Z. B. Newton's, Mr. James H. Johnson's (hotel), Mrs. Martha Bollard's, and Sam Jones' barber hop. The latter was probably the heaviest loser, the burglars carrying off $25- worth of tools, etc. ' Favetteville Observer: ; 'Souire W. II. Jones, colored, of Pearce's Mill township, was tried before Magistrate D. N. Mc Lean on a peace warrant sworn out by his wife, who charged him with brutal conduct, and was bound over to keep the peace for three months in the bum of ? 100. This 'Squire Jones failed to give and is now in jail. W. II. Jones was ap pointed a magistrate for Pearce's Mill township by the fusion legislature, and went into office Nov. 8th. 1808, cones- ?uently his term does not expire until 901. There were about 4,000 people at a reat Democratic rally at Dunn Tuesday. Splendid speeches were made hy E. W. Pou, W, A. Guthrie and Claud Kitcbin. All jtbe speeches were i good. Pou closed with a vote-winning speech. He made a convincing plea for the amend ment and completely demolished every objection to the amendment which the enemy has oSaAi) A nrtmHnf if t.a orfilfn mon urltA could not read or write arose1 in the crowd and declared their purpose to to support the amendment. It was an old time Democratic experience) meet ing and love feast.- Many were convert ed to the amendment and much good was done. The Democracy of Harnett is in fine shape. ' . Y A special to the Raleigh Post says: Some idea of the desperate struggle being made by the fusion candidates and their henchmen to carry Nash county and of hew little regard they have for the means by. which it is done is furnished by a recent occurrence. A white Populist liv ing about six miles from this place owns a large farm and employs thereon a con siderable number of both white and black men. ' The white men have lived with their present employer long enough to form a correct estimate of his character and the value of bis opinions and in con sequence have resolved to vote lor the amendment and the Democratic ticket. The negroes of coarse subscribe to the political views of tbeiremployer or rather he to theirs. Last Saturday the white men expressed a desire to come, to town and register. The permission was re fused and they were sent off to other Kints to do something, under penalty of ling their jobs if they refused. The negroes were accommodatingly placed in their employer's wagon and sent to town; so if they failed to register they bad no one to blame but themselves. "Sigh" Was Always Unfair. Wilminftoa Meuengei. I Ueighol Think of Cr. Thompson, the gifted, taking a back step in a matter of debate. In fact be rvaJly "craw-fished," according to the Newton Enterprise. Cy was spouting bis well-worn speech glibly, when be was unwise enough to say that be was willing to discuss these things with anybody in the State, and he challenged anybody in the- audience to deny the truth of any statements he had mads. This led Mr. W. A. Self to arise and say he was willing to meet him then and there. This struck Cy. as a little too much rather too suggestive. Tbe Lnterpns says: "Thompson changed bis tune at once. He asked Mr. Self if be was a candidate for governor, and said that the Demo cratic committee wonld have torivs him authority to represent tbe Democratic candidate for governor, before he would divide time with him. Mr. St If went on the platform to answer this crawfishing performance, and Thompson bad his mob to bowl bim down. In this tne nczroes. who frirCTd ons side, from tb bar to ths door, led in the shoutircr. Thotrpon'8 bluJf was caJled, and he did not isu eny more invitations to the anilence.
