It is -now finally settled that North Carolina has' elected Chas. B Aycock, Governor, and that the suf frage amendment has passed. Of course all Democrats rejoice in thf result, and we think we make no mistake when we say that numbers of honest white men, who are 'not members of the Democratic party rejoice with us. The ignorant and vicious negro is eliminated from politics. The Democratic party and the white mn of North Caroli na mean no harm to the negro. Left alone, the white man and the negro rive in peace and harmony, but led and influenced by. mean and unscru pulous vhite men. troub'e always arises. The ballot has been corrupt ei long enougli in North Carolina by this ignorant yote, therefore the white men swore that they woul'i not have it longer and right nobly did they do their work. ' "We are glad that some of our work has been appreciated by our contemporaries, but would have been still more r-j-icod if they had had the kindness to give us credit for it,- After ' Governor" Aycock spoke in Statesville we gave a re port of his speech in the next issue of this paper. We priced ourself on its accuracy and completeness. One of our contemporaries in an other county took this report word for word, as Aycock 's speech in ttyat county, but said nut one word as to where they got the report In our last issue before the election, we wrote a lengthy editorial calling up on white men to do what we con ceived to be their duty. This a dai ly paper in.another county, publish ed as their leading editorial the day before elestion. No mention was made as to the editorial not being its own production. We have no fa. ill. to find with our brethren, the stuff is riot worth that, but we sim ply call attention to this matter, and say ih-jtil would have been better to have given credit for the borrow ed material. It was our purpose to give a table last week showing the vcte in Ire dell county for the amendment, Gov ernor, and county officers. As we went to press early Friday morning. we could not get reports from two or three of the more remote town ships and so the table was not com plete. We give this week the tabu lated vote of Iredell county as com piled from the official returns, after being canvassed by the county board. The table is correct, and we would advise that our subscribers ile tkis copy of the paper away for reference in future campaigns. As shown by the table, the legislative ticket led, Armlield for the Senate receiving the greatest majority. The amendment ran'behind the ticket, as it did in most of the counties. This was to be expected as there are al ways nam bars of honest, conserva tive men that are fearf uT of a change. We are sure, though, ; that all will live to see that this is the greatest step forward that North Carolina has made in recent years. The one thing that will result from the election on last Thursday for which the white men in North Carolina are especially grateful, is the politcal death of Marion Butler. Intelligent, shrewd and brainy, but mean, low, vindictive, unscrupu lous and absolutely devoid of prin ciple, he has prostituted his intel lect and power for his own political preferment. Rising from obscurity by his own efforts, he entered the United States Senate at the mini mum age allowed by tne constitu tion, by carrying forty thousand honest men into the camps of the fusion army. Two years before, after having been a member of the State coBvention which nominated EHas Carr, he bolted and had his forces to nominate a man for Gover nor. The purpose of this was sim ply to get them trained and drilled so that two years later when he should give the command to '"For ward March" into the camp of the Republicans, they would not break ranks. He seized the opportunity caused by the depression in the mar kets, aud made the mostof it. Hon est men, members of -the Farmer's Alliance, were deceived by the wily politician. Gradually, one by one they have left him and today he stands practically without any Pop ulist following, a member of the Republican party. After six years in the Senate he will retire next March, the most cordially hated man in North Carolina. This is not because he belongs to another party, for there are men in the Republican party that are held in the highest esteem by the Democrats. A man that stands on principle is always respected, but Butler has no princi ple. He has turned his back on ev erything he has ever advocated, and fought against every standard under which, at one time, he was enlisted. With his intellectual power turned in the right direction and backed by moral purpose and noble principle he might have been one of North Carolina's great sons. But instead we have a contemptible creature, despised and loathed by his fellows, and whose name is a- synonym for all that the baser side of human nature possesses. 10,000 Christians Killed. London D-.spatch, 4th. According to a special dispatch j from Shanghai, dated August, 3, the advancing column of the allies was reported there yesterday to have reached a point 35 miles beyond Tien Tsir. Nothing from any other join' corroborates this statement In fact, The Standard goes so far as u !y that it fears the real advance, apart from preliminary measures, has not jet begun. Tien-Tsin dis paiches, dated July 30, tell of an aution which is termed a "reconnoi sance between the Japanese and Chinese," two miles beyond th Bsiku arsenal, iu which theJapanese withdrew after suffering 30 casual tics. The Tien-Tsin correspondent of The Standard, under date of July 27, declares that the Americans and Germans have been ordered to rooye forward without waiting for the Britihh. A Che Fu special, August 1. announces the safety of all the Americans in Pekin and the. recep t ion of a letter from Dr. Cbeltman. dated Pekin, July 20, saying thai on the previous day, Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, had agreed to a truce provided the Chines-e came no closer, and adding: "We hope this meaus relief; but, having defeated the Chinese, are fearful now of treachery. All are exhausted with constant watching, lighting and digging trenches. The greatebt credit Ls due to Mr. Squires, secretary of the United States lega tion, whose military experience and energy are invaluable. " The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily News says the consuls there regret the independent action takeu by the American and the China A&sociat ion upon the ground that it is injudicious. He says: "The settlements being internation al, petty jealousies must disappear. The China Association is of little local influence." Presumably he refers to the American Asiatic As sociation. The Hong Kong correspondent of The Daily ExpresS announces the arrival there from San Fnancisco of Homer Lea, for some time secret ageut in the United States of the Society for the Reformation of the Chinese Empire, with 00,000 sterl ing, which "will presumably be utilized in connection with the revo lutionary moverBeut against the Empress Dowager, a movement ijuie-.-cent since 1S9S, until within the list few weeks. " Nearly all the correspondents confirm the reports of a wholesale massacre - of Christians outside Pe kin, a correspondent cf The Daily News giving the number killed as between 10,000 and 15,000, all de fenceless converts. Imperial troops, so it is stated, did the ghastly work. According to the Shanghai corre spondent of The Times, one of the members of the Tsung Li Yaraen mentioned by United States Consul Goodnow, as having been beheaded for proforeign tendencies, was Hsu Ching Cheng, former minister io Russia. The correspondent said the Empress Dowager ordered his exe cution on the advice of Li Ping Hong. Li Hung Chang has been informed from Pekin that Prince Ching's only prominent supcorters in his peace policy are General Young Li and Wang Wen Shao, president of the board of revenue, whose influence is small," Hay Gives His Terms to Li. Washington Dispatch 2d. The State Department has made public the following correspondence between Li Hung Chang and the State" Department, regarding the abandonment of the campaign on Pekin. "Telegram sent to the United States embassies in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome and St. Petersburg and to the United States minister at Tokio. " 'State Department. " 'Washington, Aug. 1, 1900. " Tn reply to a suggestion of Li Hung Chang that the ministers might be sent under safe escorts to Tien-Tsin provided the pawers would engage not to march on Pekin, the Secretary of State replied on the 30th of July: " 'This government will not enter into any arrangement regarding disposition or treatment of legati ons without first having free com munication with Minister Conger. The responsibility for their protec tion rests upon the Chinese govern ment! The power to deliver at Tien-Tsin pre supposes power to protect and to open communication. This is insisted on. ' "This message was delivered to Viceroy Li by Mr. Goodnow on thb 31st. Viceroy Li then inquired whether 'if free communication were established between ministers and their governments it could be ar ranged that the powers should not advance on Pekin pending engotia tions. ' "To this inquiry the following re ply was sent on the 1st of August: ' 'Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai: " 'I do not think it expedient to submit the proposition of Earl Li to the other powers. Free com munication with our representatives in Pekin is demanded as a matter of ajbsolute right and not as a favor. Since the Chinese government ad mits that it possesses the power to give communication, it puts itself in au unfriendly attitude by denying it. No negotiations seem advisable until the Chinese government shall have put the diplomatic representa tives of the powers in full and free communication with their respective governments and removed all danger to their lives and liberty. We would urge Earl Li earnestly to ad vise the imperial authorities of China to place themselves in friend ly communication and co operation with the relief expedition. They are assuming a heavy responsibility in acting otherwise. '"HAY."' 'You will communicate this in formation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs." Congressman Jas. D. Richardson, the Democratic leader in the-House, has been renominated. He had no opposition. Republic or Empire? Atlanta Constitution. The Washington Post, which re lieves itself by alternately defending and opposing both political parties, is now (or was day before yester day) in the mood to make light of the form of imperialism which makes subject vassals of the inhabitants Porto Rico and the Philippines. Our contemporary says that the question is ot attie moment, tor the reason that it is now before the supreme court, and that tribunal will, sooner or later, decide whether the consti tution accompanies the flag and be comes operative the moment this government assumes sovereignty over a territory either at home or abroad. In other words, no matter what claim or contention a party may set up no matter what right it may deny to the people, nor what guar autees it may ignore, so long as the matter gets before the supreme court, the tendency of that party is not to be regarded as dangerous According to this theory, a party which develops a disposition to keep the supreme court busy defend ing the rights of the people and up holding the guarantees which the organic law provides, is just as worthy of the confidence and sup port of the votes of the country as the party which is jealous nf the rights of the people, and which re sists every effort to curtail them. We need not sav that this doct rine is queer; it is preposterous. There are many ways by which the rights of the people may be curtailed for which the supreme court pro vides no remedy. The most obvi ous are the various methods by which the attention of the voters is called away f roin the most vital Is sues on the plea that other questi ons are of more importance. A party is to be judged not merely by its positive policy. What it omits or neglects to do is in most cases a more accurate measure of its designs than the schemts it is able to carry out. Its positive policy may be based on expediency, and in that case its purposes and desires can best be judged by the general drift and tendency of the party as a whole. We opine that no intelligent, citi zen can mistake the drift and ten dency of the Republican part' since the beginning of "the war for hu manity." It has developed a pur pose uot only to deny the demand for popular rights, but to crush out the aspirations of those who long for freedom; it has entered into a secret alliance wiih Great Britain, and at this moment anti Boer pam phlets are finding their way to the public through the office of commis signer of education. The Post, which is extremely prompt with ex planations, has one ready for this latest phase of imperialism; but it will hardly hold water. Furthermore the military commis sion in the Philippines is engaged in an effort to propagate and popular ize the nomenclature of imperialism in this country. It has issued a cir cular to school superintendents in this country, in which occurs the first official us3 of the term "em pire" that has ever been made so far as we knoT. "I write," says this representative of the Republi can administration, "to ask if you can aid us in the civilization of this new part of our empire by sending such reports, bulletins," etc. We may be sure that this word was not employed accidentally. It shows that thare is really a great issue before the people. It is the question whether we shall continue to have a republic, or whether the syndicates and trusts which use the republican party as a convenient tool, are to establish an empire on the ruins of the American republic. The Camp aign of Webster Ha vis. Washington Special to R alegh Post. At the Democratic headquarters it is said that the campaign work of Webster Davis in Kansas is at tracting marked attention. The Fort Scott speech of Mr. Davis de livered in the presence of 5,000 per sons, is being given wide circulation by the anti-administration press in Kansas. Mr. Davis' subject was ''Only a Farmer." He said in part: "Oh ! yes, he was only a farmer and nothing more, who climbed the steep sides of Majuba hill to drive from its summit soldiers of -British tyranny and oppression, and who at Bronkhurst Spruit and Laing's Nek fought like chivalrous knights for liberty, justice and equality. "I reiuember that in our own land it was only a farmer that pour ed out the crimson blood of his life on Lexington green-as a willing sacrifice on liberty 's altar, who suf fered with Washington at Valley Forge, and who, at Saratoga and Monmouth performed deeds of valor that wedded his name.to glory and undvin? fame And in the future.as in the past, it is only a farmer and nothing more that will be the safeguard of our na tion and will protect our republic from the clutches of agents of sel lish, greedy monarchies, and still more selfish, greedy, trust owners, and will let it be known of all men that liberty has erected its altars on our mountains, in our valleys, and our own spreading plains." Hides Horseback at 77 Years. A. T. Townsend, Weir, Mississip pi, says: My mother was visiting me and while here was taken ill. The best doctor in this county was called in and at the end of ten days said she could not live. I have tried Ramon's Liver Pills myself and in my family and I insisted on her try ing one. So at 6 o'clock p. m. she took one of the Pink Pills and at next 7 a. m. she called for some thing to eat. I continued with the pills, and in a week she was well and has been in fine health ever since. She is now 77 years old and can ride on horseback anywhere something she has not done for years. Any citizen in town will verify this statement. There are twenty boxes of Ramon's Pills sold in this section to one of any other kind. Sold by N. R. Tunstall, Druggist. The existence of yellow fever has been reported at Tampa, Fla. Senator Jones Talks About the Cot ton Press. As it has been said by some of the originutors of campaign Tes that Senator Jones is a member of a trust, this interview taken from the New York Sun will be of interest: "I see 'hat New York Republican i , rshave made the pretended (lis:--.- . that lam connected with atiu They allude, of course, to the ia. i hat I own stock in the American Cotton Compnnv. It may not be out of place to say' what the 'American Cotton .Company is and how I became identified wiih it. "Mor" than ten years ago John W. Graves, of Arkansas, began work on a press designed to roll up cotton at the win in "highly compressed roundiap bale. Seeing in the per fection of his invention an improve ment inestimable value to the .south, where cotton for more than a hundred vears had been and sti'l :s baled in the crudest imaginable way, I ad vinced money to carrv on the work in which he was engaged By 1815 Graves and W. E. Ander son, who had become associated with him, had built a press which made a round bale of great density, the distinctive merit of which was that it required neither bagging nor ties. We lacked, however, the"nec essary capital to develop 'the busi iness, and when iu 1890 the Ameri can Cotton Company was organized to furnish the money for making practical the improvement in baling cotton, we sold it our patents, at;d I thus became a stockholder in that company. " "This company is in no sense a trust nor is it a company with in flated capital. It is simplv a busi ness organization with capVaidarge enough to carry on successfully the enterprise iu which it is engaged It has developed rapidly. The roundiap presses which it mikes have been established at 300 loca tions in the cotton States, 'j hese presses put up cotton at the gin plants in highly compressed, sclf containing bales, which dispense with bagging and ties, and, not needing to be re compressed, as all square bales intended for distant marKets must be, are ready for through shipment to the mills in this country or to ports abroad, without the necessity of resampling, and with the minimum of expense The proLt whic;: : he company makes is not a cha:o. upon the cotton, but is a part of the roundiap bale savings some $3 or $4 a bale which are shared by cotton growers, cotton ginners, railroad, insurance and steam-hip c interests euga of the sou h's s "The A merit does not aim at mpanies and other he maiketing crop.; Jottonv Company monoDolv in i he handling of roundiap bales, but giu nersarei:ee to sell in the open market a any time and to any buy er. It does, however, guarantee io every ginuer who uses its presses that all properly made roundiap bales shall sell for a substantial pre mium above the market prica of square bales. "If to have been instrumental in the development of this great inven tion and to own stock in a company, which by its i use introduces scien tific methods of economy in the mar keting of i he American cotton crop, not only without cost to the farmer, but actually to his profit, is a just ground of criticism against me. I am greatly mistaken. Other round bale presses are being made. The American Cotton Company has nev er attempted to absorb any of these, out openly competes with them. We do claim the right to use our own patents, a right which is guar anteed to us by the constitution of the United States. " Suicide in Durham. Durham Special to Post, 3d. . H.

Two persons dead and a father in sane is the result of an attempt to elope made by Martha Hendricks and Paul Warner, young people, living near Bennet, Ripley county, Mo. The young people have been keeping company some time, and were very anxious to marry. The father of the girl, John Hendricks, objected to the match on account of the girls age, she being only 17. This morning the couple slipped away from home' and started for Doniphan, this county, with a view of getting married The - father started in pursuit, and to outwit him the young couple attempted to cross Currant river in a boat. When midway in the stream the boat was overturned by striking a snag, and both were drowned. Their bodies were recovered by some hunters, who heard their screams, but were too late to render assistance. When Mr. Hendricks arrived later and learned of the awful accident he went insane. The couple will be buried in the same grave. J An Evasive Answer by Li. j Washington Dispatch. 3rd. j Another move w as made today in i the diplomatic situation bv the" re turn of on evasive answer bv Li Uung Chang to Secretary Hay's peremptory demand of August 1, to be put in communication with the foreign ministers at Pekin H's answer is not final and leaves the matter open diplomatically. But Li's actions, as reported by Consul Goodnow are unquestionably sinis ter, and will amount to a final rejec tion of the American proposition, if persisted in. Mr. Goodnow's dis patch contains some further infor mation bearing on the question of responsibility for Pekin conditions, in the statement that the command er of the Chinese troops, by infer enoe answerable to the Chinese yov eminent, ordered the PaoTing mas acre.-j. It is learned here that Li Ping Hong, the commander referred to, is a civil official, and well known to all the Chinese officials abroad as one of the most rabid anti foreign leaders in China. He is a close friend of Prince Tuan. and the as sociation of these two in Pekin af fairs, with - power enou jh behind them to cause the ignominious death of two high officials, is regarded as a bad sign. Simultaneously wilh .Mr. Goodnow's dispatch came g charact eristically diplomatic messace from Yuan Shih Kai, governor of Shan Tung, repeating the story of two days ago that the Chinese govern incnt wjji arranging to deliver the nr r.Ulers in safety at. Ti-'n-'lsia. No effort is made to recoucile that state ment with Earl Li's refusal toallow conirnuuication with, the ministers. General -Chaffee's message as to the unexpected resistance offered to the Japanese reconnoissance, is regard ed by military men here as forecast ing a greater degree of resistance to the internal advance thau had been anticipated, and they are now satis fied that the Chinese troops will fur nish material for at least one severe battle before the way is clear to Pe kin. All Killed or Raptured. Washington Dispatch, 6th. The first serious check which the American troops have met in, the Philippines during the last two months, is reported in a dispatch received this morning from General MacArthur. It is assumed that the little American command which suf fered so severely was completely entrapped and was obliged to sur render or be exterminated. The message is as follows: "Manila.
