C, June 27, 1901. DKMOCHAT8 BKCAUSK THEY V ANT TO BE. To read and believe certain news papers one would come to the con clusion that a large majority of the Democrats of the State were kept in the party by force, and that the party leaders, notably Chairman Simmons and Governor Aycock, were men-drivers with long whips in their hands absolutely driving the free people of North Carolina to the polls and forcing them to vote the Democratic ticket. These papers bewail this evil state of affairs, and with the spirit of prophecy seeming ly full upon them proclaim the day of deliverance to be at handthe day when the down-trodden, boss ridden Democrats of North Carolina are free to vote the Republican ticket the day of the "respectable white Republican, party in the South, " of which we have heard so much and seen so little. Forgone, we have voted the Demo cratic ticket because we believed that party would give the best" gov ernment to the State and country, and it has always been our belief that most other Democrats were Deinc jrats for the same reason, 1 ue Democrats of North Carolina are proud of heir - party proud of its glorious past, of its present a chievements and of its promises for the future ood government of the State. They scan their party's past and compare it with the records which other parties have made in the State, and most of them thank God that they are Democrats. They have not been forced to vote that or any other ticket. The free men of North Carolina are not of the kind who cua be forced into anything, and for one, we resent this false in ' jsinualion against the Democrats of - the State, In the past many Demo crats have changed their politics, and doubtless many of them will change in the future; but, as long as the Democratic party remains true to its unbroken record for good, honest, economical government, the great majority of white North Caro linians will be found voting its tick et and upholding its principles, not from force but from an intelligent . self interest. Chairman Simmons and Governor Aycock are not bosses but leaders, whose ser .ices to the party and the State have won the people's, confi dence. Our faith is strong that that confidence is worthily bestowed. The attention f . those so-called Democratic papers hereabouts who denounr ! everytb'ng done by the Democratic party and reserve their praise for radicals like Senator Prit chard and Judge Boyd is caMed to the speech of Senator Foraker tie livered Monday before the Ohio Re publican State convention, in which Foraker bitterly denounced South erri Democrats for undertaking to protect themselves from negro rule by disfranchising the ignorant and vicious negro vote. It is an a'liance with such men as Foraker, judging from past observation, to which all those papers' talk of "independence in politics" legitimately letds. but there will be a f: eeze in low latitudes before they succeed in leading the self respecting Democrats of North Carolina into their tinp. The events of the last forty yetrs are too fresh in Southern minds and Northern demagogues of the Foraker type. too numerous for the great body of Southern white nen to be anything eke than Deino ats. Let our peo ple remember the records the two parties have made in their corTrol of the State governments of the South, and we have no fear that a speedy, stinging rebuke awaits those', let them call themselves what they will, who seek to cause distentions in the ranks of the Democratic party. Let us seek to win Converts to our party and not try to weaken the party ties of those who are already Democrats. A Washington special says .the the negroes or the National Capital have an organization to fight the constitutional amendments of North Carolina and Louisiana in the courts, and that white Republicans of the Hanna stripe are putting Up -the money for the negroet,. It has al waj s been our opinion that our a mendmet would be tested in the courts. It is -too early yet to begin the shouting over the settlement of J the negro question, sr for white Democrats to devide. The amend ment has tfot yet been tested Tjy practical operation. After it has been demonstrated -that the negro can control no locality in the State and that he is not a political factor anywhere in North Carolina, then the negro question will go out of our politics (except that white men should always &ee to it that no party which favors regro suffrage is giv . en control of the State) and not till then. The Mayo Mills' safe at Mayodan, Rockingham cqunty, was " blown open one day last week and a quan tity of -money taken. The burglars escaped. Detectives are at workjoa Uvecae. . 4 t: , t i . . ' : . 1 I . ..-V In an article copied elsewhere from the New York Time.: it is stat ed that ex-6enator M? -ion Butler expresses similar political views toj General Julian S. Carr's. It is a well known fact that most of the Populists and Republicans were earnest sympathizers with General Carr's race for the Senate last fall and that many of them tried to vote for him. Butler has already declar ed himself a gold man. Can it be possible that the "commercial" Democracy will also absorb the remnant of the Populists? A com bination of that kind would be a sight for gods and men, but stran ger things haye happened. Even cow Butler's Caucasian is profuse hi the bouquets it weekly pitches to the chief organ of the "commercial ' Democracy. In ihe meantime most Democrats will be content to be plain "Democrats" without affix or suffix. rne lormer so-canea "conserva tives" now call themselves-the "com raercial" Democracy. A story has been -sent out from Rale'gh that General Julian Sfrarr, of Durham, will be their leader and that he will run for Senator next year. The name "commercial" Democrat is good The next Senator should, aud doubt less will, be a Weste; a Democrat. Durham is not in the West, and be sides General Carr had his try at the Senatorship last year. The "commercial" Democracy will not elect the next Senator from North Carolina. Fatal Fist Fight in New Orleans. New Orlea is Dispatch, -md L. L Baily a prominent qung man of this city, is in jail here, chaged with the murder of Walter Selph, the 20 year old son of Col. Dudley Selph the famous rifle shot who is well known throughout the South. Young Selph was killed in a duel fought with bare fists in the woods of Audubon Park yesterday. Both young men were prominent in local social circles. The trouble be tween Bailey and Selph began at the ball given by the Washington artil lory on the night of May lOth'iast, Col. Selph is leader of the artillery and his son was prominent in the af fair. Mr. Bailey who is a business man in ie city, was at the ball. Both of the young men, who were about the same age, paid marked at tention to a certain young worn in acd finally quarreled openlyconcern iDg her." They parted in intense an ger aid those who knew them ex pected trouble. Young Selphf who like his father, was a traveling man, had to go on tae road the- day after the quarrel. He did not return from his business trip until yesterday. Then he wrote to Bailey inviting him to come to Audubon Park last night to set tle their differences with bare knuckles. . . Preparations for the fistic duel wtre made, aui1 a number of mutual friends of the rivals met at the hour mentioned in accordance with young Solph's challenge. The friends of the combatants remained at the park entrance to give warning in the event of threatened interruption. The fight had lasted only a few minutes when Selphmadea rush for his opponent and made a vicious swinjr for his jaw. Bailey secured opening and delivered a terrific blow straight from the shoulder squareiy m the face. Selph s hands dropped to his sides and he fell backward like -a ljg, bis neck hi. ing been bro ken by the blow. The Selph and Bailey families are shocked by the tragedy. They knew nothing of the trouble between the young, man until the lifeless body of youug Selpb was carried home from Audubon Park, Bailey is half crazed with remorse and moans in bis cell over the tragic result of the encot 'iter. The police are-making an investi gation of the affair, and if they can find who accompanied the duelis s to the park, a u umber of arrests will be made. Whipped Her New Son in-law- Babylon, N. Y Dispatch, th. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wood, 'who were married on nonday without the consent of Mrs. Wood's mother, MrsC. W. Burton, called at the lat ter's home this afternoon to seek her forgiveness. They were met at the dopr by Mrs. Burton, who is also aunt to the groom. - airs. Wood asked her mother for her be'ongings, thereupon Mrs. Burton llew into a passion, declaring that she had been treated shamefully and would never have gwen her con sent to the marriage. She then got a bucket of water ard a horsewhip, dashed the water over her son-in-law and then proceeded to horsewhip him.

It was delivered :n fine form aud was most liberally applauded. The Governor spoke as follows "Mr, President and Gent. emen It is a very great p'eesure to be with vou tonight. Charlotte and Meck lenburg stand for much fn-lhe hsto ry of North Carolina. It was your gr. it privilege to be the pioneers in the movement in beha'f jf liberty. It was your ancestors who wrote the first declaration of indei. jndenceand who ;n emphatic terms declared the prtnciples of independence of thought and action. It is your proud prestige now to be leaders in the industrial 'development of she State. What; your ancestors did n behalf f liberty has been trans.'er- red to you as a precious heritage without labor on your pa "t. What you have dome in the development of the State is your own achieve ment wrought out by hard work and much thought. It is a privilege to speak to such a peop e. It is a high er privilege to be the Gorernr of a people who are so well versed in the principles of liberty and so mucn skilled in the modern development which makes life more tolerable. Having - accomplished mucn in the past, you owe muc to the de velopment of the future. Youv histo ry is such as to justify great expec tations. Your present is of that sort that makes one hope for the future. Having been, the first to declare your independence of British oppression and set forth the true principles ot liberty, it is meet that vou should be pioneers in the movement for more liberal thought in the twentieth century. You will pardon me for reminding you in the beginning that your task is a difh cult one and can only be wi ought out bv much eaaritv. You have tervedthe world well in the past How well you shall serve it in the future will depenu largely upo ycur attitude toward public questions You may grow ncu without power and have great honor without !nflu euce. The pecole who have influen ced the world most have been those who aave leas-t consideration for their own selfish purposes and mi regard for the good of others. If fhey have advocated liberality of opinion they have also been fore most in yielding regard for the opin ion of others I trust that this will be your position. We have entered upon a new era in the development of our State. In my inaugural' address as the Gov ernor of North Carolina I declared that the time had come when we must have no; onlv toleration of opinion, -but respect for the opinion of others as well. Those who hold that opinion ought to be free should n)t assert their own opinion with that offensive assurance which ig nores the views of others, it we are indeed to have a new era in this State we must give due regard to the ideas of other people. We must not forget the past, but we atjthe same time must not hold a slavish allegiance to it. We must not for get the history of our State nor the genius of our people. ve muse not think that the great world outside of us should dominate our-views and that the opinion of our own people. past and present, is entitled to no weight. j-iess than is per ceat, or our population dwell in cities and towns; oZ per cent. 01 them still dwell in the country, and provincial as the moderrr man may think them, they are the power which Controls the destiny of the State and shapes the hopes and aspirations of the entire community. It would be suicidal in us to regard the modern iudus trial development - as entitling those who dwell iu the cities to con trol public policies and to dominate the opinion of the State. You can not, in tne nature ot things, atnwe out on lines which are antagonistic to the views of 82 per cent of the prople. I care not bow strong you may be, nor how rich you may be; tor after all ths is a govern ment of the people, by. the people, mid for the people; and particular interests will ever find that their true course is in harmony with that of amaj ty of the people. - Your , manufac turing industries are subject to leg islation, and legislation is controlled by the viws of a majority of the people. You must, therefore, as certain those views and make har monious with them your growth and development. I U ieve that tbe.e is a tendency in thisday to ignore this fundamental principal of- suc cess and prosperity. lou will pardon my plainness of speech. 1 trust that when I took the oath of office as Governor of the State I became the Governor Geh. Carr W."l Be the Leader of Jhe "Commercial" Democracy . New York Times The interview with Gen. Julian S. Carr, pf Durham N. C. printed in the Ti nes a week ago, which he pronounced for expansipn, against Bryimsm and .peanut politics, has been widely copied, and- papers in the South are proclaiming him the McLaurin of North Carolina. Gen. Carr was in the city yesterday, aud expressed satisfaction paiiaa his views had been well received. A leading Norta Carolina' politi cian said yesterday: 'Gen Carr. will become the Mc Laurin of North Carolina politics. and will lead & fight against the ma- hine and the Bryanite element of the paity. Gen. Carr is not an an ti-corporation man, and has no fight against them, he is a commercial Democrat, and his sympathies and politics are nearer tuose championed oy Mr. McLaurin of South Carolina than those which carried Montague through and defeated Swanson ia V irgima. Gen. Carr is oue of the most nun- ular men in North Corolina. He is immensely wealthy. He has fiven away in charity and to educational and religious institutions hundreds of thousands of dollars. People from North Carolina, now in the city, be lieve he has an even chance to makn GOV. a successful fight for the new Demo cracy of the South. . Ex-Senator Marion Butler, "elect ed as a Populist Senator, recently expressed to a New York Times re porter views very similar to those voiced by Gen. Carr. ,v - AN AWFUL FLOOD. Keystone, W. Va.. Swept Away A Ri val of the Joanstown Floo!. Bluefleia, W. Va Dispatch, 2jrd. This entire section has just been visited by a flood the extent of which in all probabilities will equal or ex ceed that of Johnstown in 1889, so far as the loss of property is con cerned. Early yesterday morning, shortly after midnight, a heavy dowQpour of rain began, accompani ed by a severe electric storm, aad steadily increased in violence until 10 o'clock in tae morning, then ceasing for several hours and be ginning again with renewed vio lence." This continued throughout the entir&day and night and at 10 o clock this morning, while the storm had abated, the lowering clouds indicated another ternhcJ downpour at any moment. Many miles of the Norfolk & Western Railroad track, bridges and tele graph lines are entirely destroyed and communication is entirely cut off west of Elkhorn, so that it ?is im possible to learn the full extent of the loss of life and property, but officials of the coal operations locat ed in the stricken district have sent out messengers to Elkhorn, the ter minus of both telegraphic atid rail road communication, and have re ceived a report that a constrvative estimate as to the loss of life will easily reach 200. Some of the drowDud are among the most promi nent citizens of the coal fields. Ihe Pocahontis.codl field is locat ed in a basin, with high mountain rauges on either side Elkhorn creek flows through the center of the basin which rauges from one-fourth to one mile in width. From Ennis, W. Va., to Vivian Yard, W Va., a distance often miles, miners' cabhis, coal company commissaries and coke plants line this basin. -Elkhorn creek, being fed by numerous small streams comi.jg from the mountain ,Jides, rises very rapidly and this TTvatersoout came so suddenly that the ( itire basin between the moun tain ra iges was flooded and before the terror-stricken people realized what was upon them they were car ried dtjwn by the flood, jwhich swept everything in its path. i -A TO rtN WASHED AWAY. The little town of Keystone, with a population of about 2,000, seems the greatest sufferei, practically the entire town being washed away. This town is the principal one in the Pocahontas coal fields and is located uear its centre. It was to a grftat extent headquarters from which the mining population purchased sup Vlies and was also the only pia'-e in the field where whiskey could be purchased- 'At this place there were so Jie 12 or 15 saloons, all of which were washed away. The re port come i that the mining popula tion are now occupying the banis of the streams below, catching the merchandise and barrejs of whiskey and beer as they float down. A great number of the coal aud coke plants throughout the PoCahoUtaS field are reported practically de stroyed and in some instances en tirely washed away. On account of the very high water which has flood ed the region and prevented commu nication, anything like a coriect es timate of the loss of property is im possible but from the best informa tion obtainable at 2 p. m., the loss to property will easily reach into the millions. passengers rescued from a train. At Landgraf the beautiful home of Geueral Manager Ord is reported gone, but his family is said to, be safe. Passenger tra:n No. 4 of the Norfolk & Western Railway reached Vivian Yard, the western terminus of the coal field, about 8:30 a. m., met the flood and was unable to pro ceed further. The waters reached such a depth that the coaches had to be abandoned, the passengers being rescued by means of ropes strung from the windiws of coaehes to the tops of remaining coke ovens some distance away. Between Elk horn atjd Vivian Yard, a distance c f ten miles, 100 cars are said to he n(.iu.iium w.u uiiUKs anu manv of them carried down the streams. -A rough estimate places the number rjee Wright, Esq of bridges washed awav bftwopn Bluefield and Vivian Yard, a dis tance of 28 miles, at from 15 to 20 and Irom present indicat'ons it will be impossible to got trains through to Vivian and points wett of there underji week o- ten days. This.will render it impossible to get relief into the stricken district and with those who escaped with their lives, homeless and without food, indescri bable suffering is inevitable. On the Cline j Valley branch of the Norfolk & Western Railway, be t ween this city and Norton, Va., communication is entirely cut off west of Tazewell, Va. Reports come from that point of great loss of life and property throughout the entire section. In Shakerag, a negro set tlement on the outskirts of Tazewell, the water stands to a depth of six or eight inches in the street and houses. an of the occupants havinir beeu re rx.oved to points of safety by means of a boat. FARM HOUSE CARRIED AWAY. The miles west of Tazewell, on the Higginbotham farm, the home of Mr. Van Dyke, a farm house was swept away, carrying with it Mrs. Van Dyke and four children.Charlls, aged 5, being drowned. Mr, Van Dyke, with the two remaining chil dren, Bdgar and Laura, were found at 9 o'clock this morniny inirlwn,?!. condition oe mile from where the home stood, by Mr. Van Dyke, who was absent from home at the time -nf the cloud burs v. - While the recu- - ing party was searching for the Van ': Dyke family they found" the bod v of - a white woman, well clad, floating' down Plum creek. No one thus far has bt jn able to identify ir, and it is j supposed tne ooay washed down for some distance.

Officials are on the ground pushing the work of constructing telegraph lines and rebuilding the road and hope to be able to communicate with the storm districts by noon Monday. Nothing whatever has been heard -from the section of country between William son jrud Vivian, other than that the Tug river is reported as.Jbeing en tirely over its' banks and higher, than ever known bv the oldesV in habitants.- The- towr of WelsnV' county seat of McDowell county, necessarily must have suffered seri ously and a number of large lumber plants situated along the banks of Tug river no doubt are entirely washed away. Later: Telegrams to yesterday V papers show the reported loss of life greatly magnified. It is now-estimated that about 60 persons were drowned at Bluefield. At Keystone 10 or 15 people lost their lives and 40 houses were washed away. Sev eral people were killed at and near Tazewell, Va. A graveyard near the river gave up its dead, and this vastly increased the number of dead bodies at first seen. The damage to property is very great. The coal mines are stopped and railroad trains have suspended. The finan cial Joss will mount up in'o the hun dreds of thousands. STATE NEWS. Fine gold ore has been discovered in Catawba county.
