Tk- Boys Get In. V
The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond of boys and always
wanted to see a lot of them In bis audi
ence. He never gave. a performance,
says the Cleveland Leader, when the
nooks and corners were not filled with
youngsters who bad come In free.
One story of this sort was told by
Captain George J. G rammer. . At the
time of the occurrence G rammer, who
lived in Zanesvllle, O., was standing
one afternoon with a crowd of other
boys looking longingly into the tent,
bat not having the price of admission.
It was Mr. Rice's custom to stand at
the door until the first grand entry of
the circus people,, , when he would
- leave. On this occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces of the boys
and called them around him. Ton
, want to go in. don't you, boys V.
- "Bet your life!" shouted back the
youngsters. "
"I'll tell you what. AH the boys who
are back here In ten minutes with clean
" faces and hands get in.
The words were hardly out of his

Raleigh, Aug. 4. Chatham county
elects a Democratic senator and two rep
resentatives and register of deeds. The
rest is fusion.
Dare county is Democratic, as is also
Yancey. ..
' Chairman Simmons yesterday sent out
to county chairmen a letter, in which he
sa.v8.that the election Having Dean won
he now wishes to take up the matter
of meddlesome interference of federal of
ficeholders. He adds: "We had as well
settle this question once for all, and
know whether the DeoDle are to be al
lowed to manage their local affairs, or
the federal officeholders." JUe, therefore,
asks county chairmen to send him as
early as possible any information in the
shape of personal statements or affida
vits "showing the meddlesome interfer
ence of federal officeholders in tne politics
of vourdounty."
At midnight last night Senator Butler
and Cy Thompson and Attorney Jonn vv
Graham were hard 'at work at Populist
headquarters. Butler is making a great
play of contesting tne election in vari
ous counties. A Democrat here remarked
today that Butter had better drop this
business and get out of tne btatequicKiy,
The fusionists howled oo loudly in ad
vance about Democratic outrages on
election day, that they were hit hard by
the fact that they committed the only one
in their pet county of Chatham, when at
Congressman Atwater's own precinct,
finding the Democrats were out voting
them, they attacked tne judges of elec
tion, smashed the boxes and burned the
ballots.
The fusioniets only carried one county
east of here. There are certainly not
over three Populists in the legislature.
The Republicans by thousands scratched
the names of Populists ; of the fusion
ticket. --',.'
Secretary P. M. Pearsall. of the Demo
cratic State Committee, left today for
home. He did great work here dunng
the whole campaign. ' He bad charge of
the appointments of speakers.

in the State closely approximates bu,uuu

TROUBLE IN PAMLICO.
Mob Threaten to Murder Election
Board. Newborn Naval Reserves
Sent to Bayboro, the Soene of the
Trouble. :
News reached Newbern Saturday night
of trouble over the election in Bayboro,
the county seat of Pamlico.
The board of election met in the court
bouse to canvass the returns. The vote
of Bayboro was thrown . out, it is re
ported, which gave the regular Demo
crats the county offices. Tnere was a
faction of "middle-of-the-road"' Demo
crats, as they called themselves, who
fused with the fusionists. A mob of 125
to 150, led by Sheriff Hooker, who was
drank, mirronnded the court house, and
threatened to kill the members of tne
board if they came out and to ' blow np
the court house if they did not.
Got. Russell was telegraphed and asked
to order the Newbern Naval Reserves to
Bayboro to protect property and pre
vent violence. Gov. itussell ordered tnem
to go and they left Newbern by boat
at 1 o clock Sunday morning.
The only communication from Bayboro
was by 'phone to Newbern. The wire
was cut late Saturday night and no news
nas come irom cayooro since men.
Dye House to be Built. -
The Orion Knitting Mills will have a
dye bouse built. The building will be
erected east of tne mills.
For a long time the need of son a
plant has been felt. Most of the product
of the Orion Mills has been sent to north
ern cities to be dyed ever since the mui
was established. Thus the saving of
freight will amount to a considerable
sum..
The new plant will have the capacity
to dye the product of several mills.
tve like to see such enterprises eatabusn-
ed and do not doubt but that this will
prove to be a financial success.
