not repeated one of them.

Governor Carr says he is sure his esti
mate of 40 per cent, as the amount of the
damage to cotton is correct; that the dam
age was done by the intense heat and not
by the drought. He says it is the first
time he ever knew the heat too great for
cotton. It in some cases literally cooked
the plants.

A Bail Runaway.
Chief of Police Flowers and Consider
Boushee were riding in the latter's buggy
Wednesday afternoon when the horse took
flight and taking the bit between his
teeth tore up Green street. The pace was
too great for the officer and he nimbly
bounded to the ground, "right side up."
The pace proved to be too great for Bou
shee too, for a few seconds later the horse
suddenly wheeled around a corner at
lightning speed and Boushee was shot out
into the middle of the road, landing on his
shoulders. He was stunned for a moment
but soon recovered and was taken home.
He was badly bruised but not seriously
hurt.

Heel Crushed to Bits.
Westley Bass, a deck hand on the Frank
Sessoms, had his heel crushed off last
night at White Oak, on the Cape Fear.
He was rolling a barrell of turpentine
down the hill at that landing when he
slipped and the barrel passed over his
heel. As the Sessoms was on her way to
Wilmington, Bass was sent to Fayette
ville in a buggy and reached here early
this morniug when he received medical
attention. He will be sent to the Marine
Hospital in Wilmington this evening.
Jailed for Malicious Prosecution.
Kate Jones, a white woman, was sent
to jail yesterday by 'Squire McLean.
Kate appeared before the 'Squire in the"
roll of prosecutor, but was soon made de
fendant. The woman charged William
Turlington with an attempted assault.
Turlington proved that the woman walked
into a cotton patch where he and twenty
others were picking cotton and proceeded
to wipe out the whole crowd indiscrim
inately. She was promptly ejected. This
wounded her feelings and she brought
the above action. 'Squire McLean decided
that the prosecution -was malicious and
ordered Kate to pay costs. This she
failed to do and was sent to jail.
Harrington Hill's Terror.
There is a wild man living on the out
skirts of this city. This is no joke, but a
positive fact. Many people have seen him
and fled in terror. The man haunts the
district between the "Mile Branch" and
Harrington Hill, and the residents of that
section are greatly stirred up. The women
and children are afraid to go out of their
houses, and the men go about cautiously.
The officers of the law have made repeated
efforts to capture the man, but he is wary
and makes himself scarce at their ap
proach. Even that terror of fleeing crim
inals, Constable Maultsby "Long John"
declares that he is stumped.
The timid picture the man with horns,
tail, and long shaggy hair, but those who
"have seen him say that he is a small,
clean-shaven man and perfectly naked.
There are many different rumors as to
the identity of this strange individual,
but the most plausible one is that he is
an escaped lunatic from an asylum. He
has shown no disposition to harm anyone
as yet.
Sampson Democrats.
The Pemocratic Convention of Sampson
county was held yesterday and nominated
the following ticket: For the house of rep
resentatives, Allen Daughtry and J. H.
Weeks; for sheriff, J. R. McPhail; for
register of deeds, W. W. Herring; for coro
ner, Dr. A. M. Lee; for surveyor, J. R.
Maxwell; for county commissioners, J. M.
Spell, J. R. Baggett and J. A. Ferrell.
Upon the adjournment of the county
convention the Fourteenth senatorial con
vention met. H. J. Hines, of Sampson,
was unanimously nominated for one of the
senators. Bladen county has the choice
of the other senator and will make its nom
ination on September 19th, the district
convention ratifying the nomination in
advance.
There was a large attendance at both
conventions and a great deal of enthu
siasm was manifested.
Kluttz Failed to Come.
The Observer, as well as the party au
thorities, has been diligently advertising
the coming of Mr. Kluttz ever since his
appointment to speak here on Thursday
(last) night, was officially given out. The
Observer has spoken of him as one of
our best public speakers, of his Chicago
work, and so on. A large crowd gather
ed, in consequence, last night to greet
and hear Mr. Kluttz. There were many
negroes and a considerable number of
people who had come in from the country
no little thing to do, for a night speech.
All were intensely disappointed when in
formed by President of the Club Under
wood that Mr. Kluttz had failed to come.
The expected guest of the Democracy of
Fayetteville was waited for at the trains,
but, upon his non-appearance, telegrams
were sent'to Raleigh to know if anything
had happened to him in transit. It was
stated in reply that the appointment had
been cancelled.
Messrs. H. L. Cook, S. H. MacRae and
Jno. Underwood made short speeches,
which were well received and evoked
much enthusiasm from the crowd, which
was evidently greedy for a speech.
The Rollers' Convention.
The convention of hypocrites and cranks
at Indianapolis have published the names
of their platform committee, but there are
few great names on the list and they
would be there, if anywhere. A marked
feature of the proceedings was the wild
applause that greeted every mention of
Cleveland's name. Almost in the same
breath the hypocrites demanded a revenue
tariff in opposition to McKinley's, stupidly
forgetting that their hero in the face of an
almost unanimous Democratic demand,
refused to call an extra session of Con
gress, immediately after the Inauguration,
to repeal McKinley's vile law. Long live
the hypocrites and cranks!
Yesterday old Senator Palmer, of Illi
nois, and old ex-Governor S. B. Buck
ner, of Kentucky, were nominated by
the hypocrites and cranks for Presi
dent and Vice-President, respectively.
The chief feature of the day was the " ova
tion to Mr. Cleveland's friend, Col. W. C.
P. Brenkenridge, of Kentucky, of unsav
ory reputation. With the arch anar
chist, Herr Most, and the off-colored Ken
tucky Colonel in full communion with
them, the Hypocrites and Cranes ought to
be happy.
