To thk Republican voters op the
Statjop Norh Carolina:
A very important election Involv
ing vital interest which concerns
ever; citizen in the State is upon us.
In order to succeed it is necessary
- that the utmost harmony should pre
vail, every where.
We still have to preserve the lib
erties assured by our victory two
yearsago. Fair elections, growing
outof the unrestricted exercise of
'.the suffrage, accomplished bv the
joint action of the two political par
ties in the State, co-operating to
gether for that purpose, should be
maintained, and in order to the
i maintenance the parties to the agre
ment must keep up the co-operation
on the same basis locally, , at least,
as achieved so glorious a triumph in
.1894. ,
It is therefore resolved by the
State Republican Executive Commit
tee in regular meeting assombled,
that we recommend to the Republican
voters of the State the , necessity
Of co-operation with the Populists in
all inn noun ties, where it is Draoti-
cable, on the legislative and county
members of the Legislature of both
parties shall support the nominee
of the Republican, caucus for United
iStatea Senator, so that each party
.shall have one Senator in Congress,
and to the end that the State may be
saved from the disfranchisement and
misrule that will result from Demo
cratia ascendancy, as it now exists
in South Carolina, and that the en
actments of the last Legislature in
favor of popular freedom be main
tatned. We also urge the immediate orga
nization of .McKinley and Russell
clubs in every precinct in the State,
and that . they secure necessary
literature to educate the honest yeo
manry of the Commonwealth, in those
principles advocated by Republican
party that every voter shall exercise
bis suffrage in this most important
election intelligently and advisedly.
Resolved, That owing to the ill
feeling likely to be engendered and
the prejudicesembittered, as already
RUSSELL
foreshadowed in the west by a joint
cau vass between leading candidates,
it is the deliberate judgment of this
committee that such canvass is here
by discpuragedjand that instead, we
advertise and hold , our own
meetings, -. and present our own
speakers to enlighten the voters on
all issues entering the campaign
Resolved, That it is the sense pf
this committee that the actios of the
State Republican Convention in
nominating Judge Russell for the
Governorship meant that he is to be
supported in his candidacy by the
party of the State, and that he will
not be withdrawn in the interest of
any other candidate of any other
party for said position, and further
that no effort will be spared to se:
cure his triumphant election which
now seems so auspicious.
Further, in testimony of our good
faith with the Populists, we accept
on our ticket the candidates named
by the late Populist State Conven
tion, whose names fill the vacancies
left open by us for such a purpose,
and that we pledge our abiding and
untiring support to these candi
dates in . the persons of Oliver H.
Dockery for Lieutenant Governor,
W. H. Worth, State Treasurer; Cy
rus W. Thompson, Secretary of
State; Chas. H. Mebane, Superin
tendentof Public Instruction; Judge
W. A. Montgomery, Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court.
Resolved, That we heartily en
dorse the action of the National Re
publican Convention at St. Louis,
in presenting for our support for the
Presidency, the great Champion of
Protection to American industries
Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, and Garrett
A. Hobart, of New Jersey, for the
Vice Presidency, and hereby pledge
our earnest support of their candi
dacy and the platform of principles
upon which they stand iti enuncia
tion of the party policy touching the
great economic and other issues de
manding settlement; and that our
firm belief is that by wise and prop
er management our stato will give
these gentlemen its electoral vote in
November next.
The headquarters were located in
Raleigh and Maj. H. L. Grant was
made Treasurer of the committee.
Jim Young has swung around from
Bryan and Watson to McKinley and
Hobart.
What They All Say.
'Bully," said Griizard French.
'Don't forget to be on hand in Jan
uary, when Governor Kusseii is m-
augerated . ' '
"The action of the committee is
dead certain to elect McKinley elec
tors in North Carolina," said Solici
tor Claude Bernard. "It will so
lidify all divisions in the party and
return a Republican to the United
States Senate."
Otho Wilson. "It come on me so
suddenly haven't collected my
thoughts."
Col. James E. Boydof Greensboro,
who shares with Senator Pritchard,
the honor of being the most hand
some Republican in the State arriv
ed at noon .
In reply to the question as to
what he thought of the combination
ticket, he said "there was most too
much populism in it." W'll take
populism though to defeat the Dem
ocrats, remarked the Colonel. To
this Maj. Grant, who was standing
by, said amen. Col. Boyd is an
enthusiasticMcKinley man and he is
confident that he will carry the
State. Senator Pritchard said the
ticket is a winner. He told a Press-
Visitor reporter that he would
speak here.
Populists all profess to be highly
delighted with the ticket put forth.
Ed . Kesler says he will never at
tend another Populist convention as
long-as Marion Butler is in the State.
Judge la Only Fooling Himself.
Judge Russell received the follow
ing telegram from D. M. Morrison
of Rockingham today :
"Are you inthefield ? Answer."
The Judge's reply was thusly": 'r
"I am Still in the field,and will be
in the house in January."
Chairman Jones la Washington.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor,
Washington, D. ft, Aug; 1ft.
Senator Jones arrived today but is
not yet. ready to announce the
campaign committee. .
The Republican are very much at
sea. There is a growing sentiment
in favor, of putting out a straight
ticket v 'The - leaders- are afraid to
take the change of a three' cornered
fight, when fusion means a certainty.

A CORNER IN LEMONS.
The hot Spell Caused Such a Domand for
Them that the Prices Have Greatly
Increased.
There is scarcity of lemons.
Owing to the hot weather prevailing
over the country this necessary in
gredient in thirst-quenching and
cooling drinks has been heavily con
sumed.
Besides shipments have fallen off,
owing to the low prices ruling pre
vious to the hot spell. Sicily is the
chief source of the supply of lemons,
and this season's crop was a heavy
one. The last cargo sale from a
vessel arriving in Baltimore was on
July 15, and an average price of
$1.40 a box was secured. This price
deterred shippers from making fre
quent shipments.
liut a change came. The prices
ranged from $5.50 to $7 a box yester
day. The steamers Tergeste, with
16,000 boxes, and the Ohio with 3,
000 boxes consigned toJ. H. Seward
& Co., have arrived in port. The
same firm has from 12,000 to 15,000
boxes on the way hero via Li verpool
and Glasgow .
Mr. Seward said yesterday that
thero were hardly more than 1,000
boxes of lemons among the other
dealers in Baltimore. As his firm
has 19,000 boxes on steamers it
seems to have c jrncred the market.

Two Killed in a Wreck.
By Telegraph to the Press- Vinitor.
Cleveland, Ohio., Aug. 15. A
passenger train on the Lake Shore
Railway was wrecked near Otis,
Ind., at 4 o'clock this morning, by
the washing away of a culvert. The
engineer and fireman were killed,
but the passengers almost miracul
ously escaped fatal injuries. The
theory of the railroad officials is that
a cloudburst washed the culvert.
There was nothing to warn the
engineer of danger, as, although the
supports of the culvert had been
weakened, the rails were still in
place. The train plunged down with
terrific force. The engineer, James
Griffith, of Elkhart, and Fireman
Michael Roach went down with the
engine and were crushed to death.
All the cars were derailed and the
passengers were thrown from their
berths and seats. A number were
slightly injured.

By Telegraph to the Press Visitor.
Mansfield, Ohio, Aug. 15. Miss

rested charged with poisoning her
father and mother, David Rose and
wife, and her brother Walter. They
lived on a farm 12 miles from here.
Her motive was revenge for objec
tion to the attentionsofayoung man.
She did the poisoning with cottage
cheese which she gave them- June
25. She at last confessed the crime
and has been arrested.

Adams fcxpross Men Strike.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
New York, Aug. 15. A strike of
500 employees of the Adams Express
Company last midnight has tied up
the company completely . The men
struck because of the discharge of
twenty-three men, they allege be
cause of affiliation with labor organ
izations: The strikers permitted

reasons. The men are quiet and or
derly. The strikers include drivers,

dent. Bingham Scholarship Awarded.

MR. DUKE'S GENEROSITY.
Gives $AOO to the Odd Fallow's Orphan
Horns.
Mr. C. B. Edwards, Treasurer of
the Board of Trustees of the Odd
Fellow's Orphan Home has received
from Mr. Benj. N. Duke, of Durham
a check for Five Hundred Dollars as
a contribution to the main building
of the Home, now in course of erec
tion atGoldsboro. This institution
conducted by the Odd Fellows of the
State is one of the model Orphan
Asylums in the cour.try, being ad
mirably and economically managed,
and is doing a great and noble work.
Mr. Duke s generosity will be
greatly appreciated by the Order, of
which he is not a member. Heispneof
the larger-hearted men in North
Carolina, filled witty charitable im
pulses and is constantly doing acts
of kindness aud benevolence in a
quiet and unostentatious manner.
The Seaboard Wants $75, (MM).
As the time approaches for the
hearing of the case of the Southern
Seaboard Air-Line before Judge
Simonton at Spartanburg, . C, and
which is set for argument today
some very interesting facts are
being brought to tight. Among the
most important of these is an agree
ment made many years ago between
the York River Line now owned by
the Southern Railway Company, and
the Bay Line, which is control led by
the Seaboard Air-Line, the chief
feature of which was a penalty for
feit of $75,000 to be levied in the
tvent of an encroachment by one on
the other '8 territory. When the
purpose of the Southern's decision
to establish its Norfolk line was pro
mulgated, the Seaboard notified the
Southern that its latest act was a
violation of the agreement in ques-
tion, and this was followed by a de
mand for the $75,000 forfeit. To this
President Reuben Foster of the York
River Line replied in a letter stating
the agreement referred to by the
Seaboard people was annulled July
9, 1881.
It has also been disclosed that the
Pennsylvania Railway Company,
through Vice President Thompson,
has been taking a very active part
in the pending controversy and that
he has made a number of attempts
to bring the Southern and Seaboard
people together with a view of hav
ing the issues involved straightened
out amicably. Mr. Thompson failed
in his efforts, however, but up to a
few dags ago he entertained hope
that troubles between the contending
roads could be adjusted in a manner
honorable to all, and replying to a
communication frrm President Hoff
man, of the seaboard, in which the
Southern's stand was given, he
again offered' his services to promote
harmony. To this Mr. Hoffman an
swered that much as he regretted it
Mr. Thompson's services could not
be utilized under the circumstances.
To Reduce Pullman Kates.
Charlotte News.
There is a rumor in circulation in
railroad circles that the Pullman
company is contemplating a reduc
tion in its rates. The parlor car
service will be first affected. The
railroad managers have, it is said,
finally convinced Mr. Pullman that
his rates were to a large extent pro
hibitive, and the reduction will pro
bably amount to fully 60 per cent.
Following this change Pullman fares
will be cut on the Baltimore and
Ohio and Hocking Valley and Ohio
Central. Some of the Southern rail
way men are- urging Mr. Pullman
that while he is doing such merito
rious work he will extend the good
work so as to include their territory
in the changes, as it is believed there
is abundant scops lor sweeping
changes in the rates as they now
stand.
How's This ?
A well known Republican who
came up from Fillsboro Wednesday
night tells the Greensboro Record
that Samuel Hoi ton, chairman of. the
Durham county Republican execu
tive committee, and a brother of
State Chairman A. E. Hoi ton, made
a speech Tuesday in- which he an
nounced himself for Cy Watson and
lambasted Judge Russell from way
back. The gentleman, who is per
fectly reliable, says he did not hear
the speech, but that Mr, Holton told
him he had made a speech and that
he -meant every word of it. Mr.
Holton is known as a gentleman who
has decided opinions of his own and
is not afraid to express them.

The attendance at tue Exchange
today was small, and the speculation
was light and of the usual Satur
day 's holiday character. The course
of prices continues to be governed
almost entirely by the weather con
ditions at the South. At first there
was a slight decline today, on ac
count of reports of rains in the south
west, but the official weather report
showed that they were insufficient
and prices quickly rallied and ad
vanced 8 to 9 points. August ad
vanced 17 points. It was stated
that Neil Brothers would issue
a bullish circular, a part oi
the improvement gained was lost
before the close, the last prices be
ing 5 points higher for the day ex
cepting August, which closed 15
points high. The Arkansas rainfall
was 0.40 of an inch at Warren and
0.08 at New Port, in Mississippi

ASYLUM ANNEX.
The Institution is Overcrowded and 80
Itooms are Likely to be Added.
At meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees
of the Insane Asylum in this city
Wednesday, the construction of an
annex to the male department was
discussed and considered.
The overcrowded condition of this
excellent institution has made it
necessary to increase the accommo
dations for the patients. Through
economical management $19,000 of
the legislative appropriations have
been saved and this amount is suffi
cient to construct Hie annex which
is proposed.
It was decided to have another
meeting of the committee in a few
days to perfect the plans so far
considered.
? The annex will be built to the
male department. It will be 40 by
120 ;i"l will contain about 80 rooms,
accommodating as many patients.
The Torrid Scourge in New York.
The past week in New York was
one which surpassed all records for
fearful heat mortality, both among
men and beasts. The scenes baffle
description and the suffering was
most intense. There were nearly a
thousand deaths in New York city
during the week and the undertak
ers could not begin to dispose of the
dead as fast as their services were
needed. On last Thursday the num
ber of burial permits issued was the
greatest in the history of New York
and people stood in line for hours
waiting to make application for a
pemit. tobury some loved one. Horses
fell by hundreds in the streets and
other horses which were used to
remove them also succumbed to the
intense scourge and the presence
in the city of the numerous dead
animals, which could not be
removed as fast as they
died, was a menace to the health of
the city, almost as alarming as the
heat. As one went into New York
city he would not walk a block with
out coining across a dead or dying
horse. Then would be seen a man
borne upon a stretcher and then one
funeral procession after another
moving through the streets. Peo
ple way-laid the ice wagons
as they moved through the streets
and took possession of their con
tents. The only respite which could
be found from the fearful burning in
the city was at the numerous resorts
adjacent to New York and Manhat
tan Beach, Brighton Beach. Coney
Island, Long Branch, Asbury Park,
Ocean (J rove and the many other
breeze swept an surf beaten resorts
near at hand were daily and nightly
crowded with suffering humanity.
But many there were in the slums
and tenement districts of that great
city who could not afford this luxury
and who perished miserably in the
blistering plague of taridity which
prevailed.
