Failure of Mr. John Clark.
Mr. John Clark, the cotton manufactur
er and principal merchant at Manchester,
made a deed of assignment this morning,
naming as his assignees Messrs. Isaac A.
Murchison and W. J. McDiarmid.
This is no great surprise, as it has been
an open secret that Mr. Clark has been
struggling hard against the universal tide
of business depression ever since tha last
death blow to silver. His liabilities are
placed at $2,500, outside of mortgages. His
property consists of a cotton mill worth
probably $20,000, mortgaged for $9,600,
store, turpentine still and several farms,
all mortgaged.
Mr. Clark started in business with the
Little River Manufacturing Company and
succeeded to the business by purchase. He
accumulated a lot of property and was at
one time very well off.
We learn, and we trust that there is
good foundation for the statement, that
Mr. Clark will be able to meet his obliga
tions and start anew.

TJie Observer, Fayctteville.
Raleigh, May 15, 3:15 p. m.
Convention met at noon. There was a
hot fight on report of Credentials Com
mittee, which developed into a Pritchard
Settle fight. Settle was downed. There
was great disorder. Majority report was
favorable to docker y. Russell men likely
to get minority report adopted. Delega
tions from Wilkes, Perquimans, Wilson
and Union were seated, a gam of 24 votes
for Dockery. Other contests are being
taken up by counties.
Raleigh, 3:40 p. m.
The convention by a vote 130 to 90
adopted minority report in Craven county
case. Atm this Russell victory, there
was great demonstration. Cumberland
county contest now before convention.
Raleigh, 3 145 p. m.
Minority report seating Russell dele
gates from Cumberland was adopted, 122
to 90. Minority report seating Russell
delegates from Edgecombe was also adopt
ed, 136 to 76. These votes are slaps at
Hoi ton : that is the secret of them.
Raleigh, 3.49 p. m.
Russell men claim that on first ballot be
will get 104, Dockery 89, Boyd 21, Moody
.10, Lusk G. The Boyd men say Boyd's
nomination is practically certain, that
Russell is weakening and cannot show the
strength wbieh his men claim. There are
bets on Boyd.

The Warsaw Convention.
A. R. Middleton and .Neill Waddill,
both colored, are delegates from this dis
trict to the Republican Convention at St.
Louis. S. W. Hancock, of Craven, is the
Presidential Elector. As will be seen
from the following from the Sampson
Democrat, the Observer's account the
day following the convention was entirely
correct:
Warsaw, May 12.
There was a large attendance here to
day of white Republicans, in fact a full
convention, with Dr. Cyrus Thompson,
Populist, Holding the rudder. The doctor
says he happened here bv accident, but a
delegate says he was here by appointment
to prevent a nomination for Congress, and
he succeedly, admirably. After appoint
ing a credential committee, who remained
out several hours, the report seating the
McKinly, Russell and Fusionist element
was adopted by a vote of 18 to 11. Dur
ing the debate oaths passed rapidly, and a
row seemed imminent.)
The convention nominated A. R. Mid
dleton and - , delegates to the
National Convention, and S. W. Hancock,
of Craven county, District Elector.
Nomination for Cn-jress was deferred
(you see Dr. Cys hand) till further diiec
tions. Dr. Cy seemed lonely for the want
of Populist followers, but button-holed
Republicans like an old stager. Dr. Cy, you
can't lead erood white men into such a
I slum.
Abe Middleton had the whole thing
bottled up and run it just like he wished,
and many white men declared they would
not follow any further the dictation of the
eolored brother, but that party which had
given good government to North Carolina,
the white man's party. So be it.
