The Populists will, therefore, be per
mitted to sandwich clerk ot the court,
treasurer, two commissioners and a
State senator.
There was not the best of harmony
in the convention, from variou ac
counts that have been given. ,.',
Congressman White was present and
desired to make a speech in tne con

hour. He finally spoke and in his
speech referred to the effort that had
baen made to keep him from speaking.

"It is a pity but some gentleman

A CONVICT WHIPPED TO
DEATH.
Populists who go into their own con
vention now and fill out the places left
vacant by the Republicans do, by
that action, endorse W. B. Smith for
county commissioner, Columbus Baker
and J. H. Arrington for members ol
tlie Legislature, and the presumption
is that such Populists - will vote for
these colored candidates. What they
will actually do is to be proved on
election day.
One of the truest and best men in
the county, who caa always been a
Democrat, and who has done much
service in the community to all classes
ot persons, has openly declared that
any white man who votes the ticket
which was nominated by the Republi
cans, to be filled out by the Populists,
need never call on him again to do
him any service whatever "for love or
money."
It has been handed around that some
of the Populists in this section have
expressed themselves as feeling like
they have been somewhat ostracised
by the Democrats.
A.n the name of all reason, what else
can thsy expect, when they have turn
el their backs on their own race and
c lor and are lending what influence
they have against white supremacy
and good government?
The Commonwealth would like - to
see all those who have at any time
gone from the Democratic party to the
Populists come back ; and, therefore,
has no harsh word for any." But there
is a fitness of things, exampled by the
. very Taws of nature, that would accord
to a man politically or socially the
place which he deliberably chooses.
Raleigh Post. 10th.
A terrible story of cruelty comes from
the State farm at Northampton, which
is managed by Lewis Summerill. No
weird story from the Black Dungeon
of Manila was ever more brutal and in
human.
James Lowe, of Tunis, Hertford
county, a white convict who was sent
to the Northampton farm, was beat so
unmercifully and so brutally that he
died shortly afterwards while at work
in the field.
Jim Sears, a white guard, is charged
with having inflicted the inhuman and
brutal punishment.
Application has been made to Jus
tice Walter Clark for a bench warrant
charging Sears with murder. The
application was made by J. F. Mew-
borne, the superintendent ot the pen
itentiary, at the instance of Governor
Russell. Last night the wirss were at
work for the arrest of the man.
Such brutality has never before been
known among the State's convicts. It
is said that after Sears inflicted the ter
rible punishment upon Lowe, he (Lowe)
was sent to the fields to work, and that
he died while at the plow.
The evidence against Sears is very
strong. The charge is made by Dr.
Ferguson, physician to the convicts,
who held a post mortem examination
upon the body. In a letter to Superm-
tendant Mewborne, Dr. Furgerson stat
ed that Lowe died from the effects of
the terrible punishment administered
to him.
James Lowe was a young white man.
He was brought to the penitentiary by
the sheriff of Hertford county in 1898
to serve a two-year term of imprison
ment. He was convicted of murder in
the second degree. Lowe had not been
at the prison long before he was sent
to the Northampton farm. At that
place the poor devil was murdered by
a paid agent of the State.
This is not the first instance of out
rageous punishment that, has been
given convicts at the Northampton
farm. It is stated that Lewis Sum
merill himself is
i Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, the Charlotte
Observer's correspondent who is giyiug
that paper an account ot the condition
of affairs in Eastern Carolina, wrote
from .Wilmington a few days ago a
letter that tells a tale of horror for that
city.
Among other things lie states that
of the 24 policemen 13 are negroes ;
the city lias four health officers, all
colored ; s'x deputy sheriffs, four of
whom are colored ; and 40 nes;ro mag
istrates. There are 86 negro officers in
the county.
From some particular instances of
negro insolence we give the following
clipping from Mr. Bryant's letter :
"Negro boys insult decent people as
they walk along the streets. I saw a
white gentleman, a farmer, his wife
nnd little srirl. sroine along the main
street of this town Friday night, on
their way from the boat on the river to
the depot, where they were to take tne
train for home. They came here along
with a train full of excursionists from
some rural district. At his heels three
half-grown negro boys trotted along
and cried out : "Give my love to little
Sissie. little Bettie" etc. This was
kfnt, nn for some distance. They pass
ed bv a neero policeman,- but be took
ml
no notice of it.
"A few days ago two of Wilmington's
most prominent and respected business
men were out dnviner, and a dozen in
tie nesrro bovs chased them and made
vulgar remarks about the horse and
the men. Two young ladies of the
town were out . shopping Friday night
and three negro boys, about 18 years
old each, lined up across the sidewalk,
and told the ladies to go around if they
wished to sret bv. I saw three little
negro girls lock hands going down
street, taking up two-thirds of the side
walk. They met two gentlemen, lhe
little chap in the middle said to the
other two : 'Don't give them white
folks any road. Dat's what pa says
do.'
"These 'are insignificant incidents,
but they go to show the disposition of
the negro here. Every hour during the
day such things happen. The decent
people of the town just take the whole
thine as a matter of course and do not
protest. -
"No city has ever hacLa more worth
less police force than Wilmington now
has. John II. Melton, a man from out
in the country near here, is the chief.
He is nothing more than a mass of
clay. His actions from day to day
prove him totally incompetent. Every
night, every day, almost every hour,
for some months thefts, robberies,
burelaries and various other crimes
have been committed in the town,
people haye no security whatever.
"But one thing seems to fill
minds of the officers : They look
ward to pay day. That is all.
"Saturday I went to the city hall to
see Mr. John Cowan, one of the best
citizens of tne town. After looking in
at several doors I was met in the pass
age by a little negro. I asked if Mr.
Cowan was in. The boy answered :
'No Cowan is not in and I don't know
where he is. If you want te see him,
yon might go out and hunt him.'
This said, the impudent boy scampered
out to the front steps of the building
to pat a white policeman on the shoul
der. I left him hugging the onicer.
However, the onicer did not seem to
relish the embrace very much. The
boy closed the conversation that he
had drawn the cop into by disputing
his word."
New Berne Journal.
One day last week a young lady of
this city returning home on one of
New Berne's public streets, came to
where three voung negro men stood
on the side walk in such
obstruct the way They
fort to move eu as to let her pass.
No white man was within seeing
distance. The intention ot the negroes
was probably to compel the young lady,
whe indeed is but a girl, "standing
with reluctant feet, where the stream
and river meet," to pass between them.
She chose to leaye the walk in ord9r to tion in the train
noM onr.H hm Yard lower, Va
As she did so and reached a point
opposite the three uegroe3, one of the
brutes, seeing what he considered "air"
in the young lady, stretphed out and
slapped her in the face !
She reached her home as quickly as
possible and told what had occurred.
To make the matter more appalling,
if possible, the young lady is an orphan
and has no natural protection. Is
there a white man in North Carolina
who does not wish he was near when
the blow was struck?

Some days previous to this a youn;

tears of anger to her eyes whenever she
remembers it.
Trent river bridge will be paid for

The negroes will have the main benefit
of its use. They seem to think thr.t
like the court house and public building
and other places, that it is theirs.
The young lady mentioned is one of

Dressed in white she stepped upon the

AN EMPRESS ASSASSINATED.
Geneva, Switzerland, September 10.
The Empress of Austria was assassin
ated at the Hotel Beaurivage this after
noon by an anarchist, who was arrested.
He stabbed Her Majesty with a stiletto
It appears that Jler JVlaiesty was
walking from her hotel to the landm
of the steamer at about one o'clock
when an Italian anarchist named Luc
choni, who was born in Paris ot Italian
parents, suddenly approached and stab
bed her to the heart. The Empress
fell, got up again and was carried to
the steamer unconscious. The boat
started : but, seeing the Empress had
not recovered consciousness, the cap
tain returned and the Empress was car
ried to the Hotel Beaurivage, where
she expired.
The Jiitnpress of Austria was born
December 24, 1837. She was a daugh
ter of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria,
and was married to Francis Joseph,
Emperor of Austria, and King of
Hungary, April 24, 1854. They had
three children, the Archduchess Gisola,
