So people flocked here last night from every farm and town for miles around to give Bryan a fitting reception. The normal population of seventy -five was swdlen to sev eral thousand. They came on bicy cles, buckboards, hay wagons, om nibuses, carriages, afoot, Republi cans and Democrats, alike. Bryan has their hearty if not their votes. The crowd began to gather early, In the centre of which was the Red Hook band. There were no decora tions; the bon-fires furnished illumi- nations Hon. Jacob Ellesfer, Dem ocrat and counsellor of Red Hook, introduced Mr. Bryan, who stood" on the veranda under its vines, amid the lurid gleams' of three bon-fires. He spoke J without notes, so simply yet so eloquently that the printed speech gives no idea of his power. He breakfasted at eight this morn ing and took a short walk this after noon.

The Republican State Executive committee did a wise thing from its standpoint in filling the vacancies on its own ticket with the Populist nominees. The action will meet the approbation of the mass of both the Populist and Republican voters throughout the State. The Repub licans cannot turn a wheel without fusion, and they know it. The Pop ulists cannot black the board with out it, and the fusion they want is with Republicans not Democrats.

Near Taylorsville a few days ago, while threshing wheat, a little boy who was cutting the binds made a mislick and cut the feeder across the back of the hand, making an ugly wound. Filled with excitement, to gether with madness, the feeder grabed the boy and threw him into the machine. Before the machine could be stopped, half of the boy's body was torn to pieces. Two of the poor unfortunate boy's brothers were present, and when they saw their little brother murdered incold blood, they sprang at the murderer, dealing two blows with a pitchfork, one in the stomach the other in the chest, either of which: would have been fatal. He only lived a few mlnutet.. Matters for the Manipulated Many. AROUND THE CITY. Pot-Pourl of the -New Pictured on Pa per Points and People Pertinently Picked and Pithily Put In Print.

Perhaps the greater portion of the white voting population of Panther Branch Township was here today. A grave and serious accusation has been made against ayoungman, who is held in high esteem in the com munity. Saturday a week ago. the young wife of Arthur Jowall died somewhat suddenly, though she had been under the treatment of a physician. The mother of the dead wife declares that young Jowall, administered noison to his wife, which resulted in t her death. The same theory ob tains to a larire deirree among those citizens of Panther Branch Town ship who were in Raleigh today. It seems that Mrs. Jewull has been under the treatment of Dr. McCullers for several months Several weeks ago she began to im Drove and continued to do so until the day of her death, when she was taken ill early in the morn ing. When she complained to her husband, he gave her a lemonade and a capsule. Dr. McCullers reached the house soon afterwards and found Mrs. Jewall in a semi comatose state. She became able to recognize Dr. McCullers, but fine- allv crew worse until death ended her troubles about 7 p. m. Mrs. Jewall was a Miss Britt. Her mother, Mrs. Britt came here today with her friends to have the Coroner hold an inquest and make an examination of her daughter's stomach. It is related that Mr. Jewall, after hearing the reports throwing suspic ion on himself tried toget DraMcCul- Minor lers to exhume the body and make an examination for traces of poison. Dr. McCullers declined because he hadn't authority. It is stated that Mr. Jewall offered as much as $50 to have the body examined, J t -fj - - am ' f .'." . ... THE INJUNCTION CASE. Prominent Counsel on Variona Sidea Argue the Question vf Juriedietiua. Greenville, S. C, Aug. 17. The argument in the rate war case before Judge Simonton was resumed, Col. Henderson, general counsel for the Southern, taking up the issue favor ing the jurisdiction of the court. Judge Henderson maintained that the cut of 35 per cent, by the Sea board Air Lin- was for the purpose of preventing the Southern from put ting on a competing line of steam boats from Baltimore to Portsmouth. The c ut was not because the new rate was a just one, but ito prevent competition upon the ocean. The purpose was unlawful. This cut vould disturb the rates of all other railroads in the territory and they hae the right to complain and this c iurt has the ritrht in this applica tion to restrain the unlawful act. This court has the power to restrain an act working injuries to otherj when the act, itself is unlawful, is for an uulawtul purpose. General Watts took up the cause for the Seaboard, arguing against the jurisdiction of the court. He charged that ttie Southern had made a secret cut in rates before the Seaboard put its 33 percent, cutinto fleet. He ridiculed the idea of here being a conspiracy and said hat there were 22 roads combined against the Seaboard through the Southern States Freight Association. His argument was exhaustive and he charged that to make the injunc tion permanent would be to destroy all competition in the South. The itigation was brought about by the Southern. What he had contended for was a government by law and not by injunction. Judge Cothran, State counsel for the Southern Railway, spoke for over one hour strictly on the legal issues involved and directed most of his at tention to the position that where there was improper competition the court was expected to interfere, and argued in support of this position. The Southern being a monopoly, he said it was rejuvenating old and bankrupt corporations and giving the people the best possible service. Mr. Smythe, who brought the complaint, insisted that he brought the action on the part of the Port Royal & Augusta Railroad and that no one else had anything to do with it. Ho devoted much time to a defense of the court for the course it has pursued in granting the temporary injunc tion and was tiuito severe on the press and Senator Tillman for try ing to tear down the dignity of the cour,s. The arguments are likely to be oncluded tomorrow. Mr. Smythe will conclude and Mr. King will take up the argument for the Sea board. All counsel say that the case is the most important, heard in years; that its rulings must be new and will hlast out me way. J. 1-:. Fowler ftw Congress.
