NEW PRIMARY Sherwood Upchurcu Again a Candidate for Nomi nation The Democratic voters of the second division of the Third ward are called to bold a primary tomorrow (Thursday) night in the Royal Knights hall for the purpose set forth in the notice below: NOTICE. Notice is hereby given to the Demo cratic voters of the Second division fit the Third ward that a primary will be held at the Royal Knights hall on the corner of Blount and Cabarrus streets, to consider am tales'- action upon the -communication of the Democratic Exe cutive Committee of tb tty of Raleigh in reference to the eligibility and nomi nation of Mr. J. Sherwood Upchurch for alderman of the city of Raleigh, and to take such action thereto as said primary shall deem proper and necessary. W. M. RUSS, Chairman. The forecast of this action taken by the executive committee last night was correctly given in the imes-Visitor yes terday. The campaign committee exam ined witnesses showing that Upchurch was not a resident of the ward and he was given every opportunity to present evidence on his side but declined to do so. Therefore the committee had to act ou the evidence presented. Candidate Upchurch said again today that he was still a candidate and that his name would be presented in the pri mary Thursday night. A gentleman said today: "If Up church is elected I don't believe he will Im seated. It would be a similar wran gle in the board of aldermen to the af fair which the admission or rejection of Roberts, the polygamist, has raised in Congress." Sherwood Upchurch made the follow ing statement to the Times-Visitor for publication: "The Democratic campaign committee has seen fit to do the un-Democratic thing in turning me down as their nom inee for alderman, in the second division of the third ward; because, as they al lege: I am not a resident of that section of the ward. "I want to say, I was raised in that ward and that myself and my people have been and are residents, and prop erty owners in that word; that I went into the Democratic primary without a taint against my politics; or an objection to my citizenship, and whipped out the other set by two to one; that nobody disputes the fairness of the primary; that, not until afterwards was anything done to dispute the honesty of the men who voted for me, and these men who bad known me all my life. The primary was not packed, nor padded but composed of straight, ag gressive Democrats; who thought they know what they were doing. "But the action of the Democratic Committee is so unprecedented as to call forth the admiration of the office getters, and other hangers on; and the asking for the verdict of the classes that work for, vote, count the Democratic ticket, and get no recompense In honors or dollars. To my mind tbe reason for this high-handed action is plain. I could not be used, If elected, to suit the will of those who assume to dictate the con sciences of this people; to use and spend their money; to use and abuse their trust; to use and abuse the macintoshes they wear." WICKER'S CARD. Mr. Editor: I wish to announce my self through your columns as a candi date for Alderman in the third ward, second division, before the Democratic primary to be held at Royal Knights Hall tomorrow night, and ask that my friends come out and give me their sup port.

J. Q. White & Co., who built the now widely-known line transmitting electrical energy from Ni agara Falls to Buffalo, have the work in charge. On account of the magnitude of this new development and its location the enterprise is already called "The Niagara of the Cotton Belt." Its situa tion is at the "narrows" of the Yadkin river, in Stanley county, N. C. The total power available in time of dry season is about 40,000-horsc power. By the adop tion of storage reservoirs, which the high banks of the river favor, this pow er can be greatly increased, says the Baltimore Sun. Mr. C. G. Young, of J. G. White & Co., has returned to Baltimore after ex amining the property and pronounced the projtt entirely practicable and the basis of a most important development. Mr. Young said that surveys were now near ly completed that will enable the engin eers to determine final plans for the con struction. Baltimore engineers and me chanics who had a part in the work which brought the electric current from Niagara to Buffalo and furnished the means to turn the wheels in that city of the street cars, factories and other pow er consumers are eugaged in this new project. The North Carolina Power Company is the name of the corporation that will carry out the plan. Mr. E. B. C. Hnm blcy is president of this company and Dr. Dillon Brown, treasurer. Financial ar rangements have already been perfect ed and there is now no obstacle to the commencement of the work of construc tion just as soon as the plans of the en gineers are worked out. The company has a capital stock of $5,000,000, and it is proposed to issue bonds to the amount of $2,500,000. It owns the entire prop erty along the Yadkin river where the power development is to be made, in cluding 4,000 acres of land on both sides of tbe river, thus controlling the situa tion. Tbe typographical features arc regarded as particularly well adapted for econom ical development, as the river at the riv er at the "narrows" passes through a granite-lipped gorge but sevcuty-Dve feet wide at its widest and only thirty feet wide at its narrowest part. In the twelve miles the total fall is 220 feet. The de velopment will probably be made iu two divisions. Following this water-power develop ment is to come the movement to this section of New England cotton-mill In tel est 3. Plans are now being formulated for a large cotton mill to be built on the property. This mill Is designed to be an advance upon present plants not only in the South, but In the North as well. Besides modern machinery of approved type, the whole plant will be electrically driven. Some novel features will be in troduced in tbls regard to simplify oper ations. Possession of an abundance of good labor, cheap living and cheap pow er are also expected to influence other industries besides cotton mills to locate in this section. This development of water power promises to be one of the most Interest ing yet made and it is contemplated to transmit the power to points within a radius of fifty miles. It has been deter mined to install machinery of the most modern style and make the big develop ment the most effective that money ami skill can secure. The Yadkin river for a term of years has been particularly reg niralu xzfiflff cu -sxzh'tlffVsWA regular In flow, and as there is no dan ger of interruption by freezing in win ter, there will be no need of auxiliary steam plants, as in New England. A short extension of the Salisbury and Norwood Branch of the Southern Rail way is to be made to reach the property and a new line under construction from Durham Is also to run through it. Tbe scenery, high altitude and climate of this part of the South is especially inviting and after the industrial develop ments are under way a htel and resort will probably be the next move. TROUBLE IN TRANSVAAL. A Crisis Arises in thcEngIish-Duu:u Relations. CAPE TOWN, April 28.-Tbere is renowed uneasiness over the situation in Transvaal. General Chief Jouber, an inspection of tbe frontiers, is select ing places suitable for entrenchments. A more rigid inspection ot the military is also ordered. The Kruger is evidently expecting hostilities from England and the Dutchmen are uneasy over the ro sult of the petition to English Colonial Minister Chamberlain, signed by twenty one thousand English residents of Trans vaal, setting forth their grievances. It is relieved that Lord Chamberlain's ac tion will mark the crisis in English and Dutch relations. The British army here is being steadily augmented. Mr. F. J. Haywood, Jr., is in Newbern for a few days. THREE KILLED. EASTON, Ta., April 2C.-Three nwn were killed by tbe fall of slate at tbe Pennsylvania Argyle quarry this morn mf.

The Fusion mem bers were here iu full force and this morning they held a short session. Com mission John R. was on hand and Sec retary Justify Litigation Ramsey was not absent. The session was informal and partook more of tbe nature of a council of war than anything else. They all denied anything was done at the meeting. This afternoou at four o'clock in time for both boards to meet. The Fusionists were on the scene early and sat huddled together in the commissioner's room waiting the attack and repulse of tbe new board. J reporter peeped in on the clan of warriors about 4 o'clock and the silence was broken only by one of the directors whispering to another: "It is four o'clock, don't you reckon we'd bet ter begin to lock up." The usurpers seemed to anticipate a forciule assault. 'me Democratic directors accompanied by Attorneys F. M. Simmons, J. 11. and K. W. I'i'U and S. F. Mordecai went to the Agricultural building in a body at 4:10. They were met -m the porch by J. C. L. Harris and informed that the old board did not recognize them now, since the Day decision, and refused them admittance. Mr. J. II. lii spoke for the new di rectors nud said that they would ini- uieuiately institute action. The new board then went into the railroad com mission oflice wlicre they arc now In ses sion. DAWSON iSTREET Opposition to the Proposed Extension Some opposition has developed to the extension of Dawson street beyond the railroad. Mr. C. J. Hunter who owns property north of Dawson, ncross the railroud, said this morning: "I have let out a contract for building a house on my place and if Dawson street Is ex tended under the railroad embankment northward then the city must pay for tue uouse l am Having built." The proposed extension of Dawson street would run just east of the old Horton plucc and west of Johnson street station through the Horton Dronertv. joining Johnson street. Mr. Hunter's property joins the Horton tract, and ho now has a street (Cary street; running from the railroad, between the inter section of Dawson and Harrington streets, northward. He wants Carv street extended instead of running Daw son straight out, as is now proposed. FLYING FOX WON. LONDON, Anril '2G.

THEIR LAST STAND Insurants Resist Energeti cally at Calumpit Ll5kb ARTILLERY The American Army is Thoroughly Pre pared for Any Move Which Agul naldo's Army May Attempt. V. .;.-! 1 1NGTOX, April 26. The ques tion of the effective results of the; fight ing at Calumpit depends largely, it is believed, upon Oen. Lawton's force. The latest cablegrams indicate beyond a doubt that it is tbe plan of the insur gents not to make a stand at Calumpit. The news that yesterday the Filipinos began burning the principal buildings in the town is accepted as a sure sign that the leaders are settled in the policy of continuing their retreat after intlicting as much damage as possible, fortunate ly, tbe Americans are preparing for just such an event, lue forced march of Gen. Lawton's division from Novalichcs toward Noresgary was deliberately planned for the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the enemy under the at tack of Gen. MacArthur's and General Halo's commands. It was expected that Gen. Lawton would reach the expected point last night and after a rest this morning will make a sharp turn to the west, being the joined centre column from Bocavc. LAST STAND. MANILA, April 21S (Evening) Aguinaluo's army is today defending Ca lumpit energetically, which, it is said, indicates that the insurgents are mak ing their last desperate stand, which the Americans expected them to make at Malolos. The Philippine army for the first time used artillery and brought two guns in to action in the trenches today before Calumpit, firing a modern Shrapnel which burst over the beads of Gen. Wheaton's men without effect. The fighting, which began yesterday and resulted in the capture of the outer trenches by the Americans was resum ed at six o'clock this morning. During the night the American engineers repair ed the bagbag bridge, thus enabling our troops to pass over the river. Gen. Wheaton's brigade advanced in extended order with the Kansas regi ment west of the railroad and the Mon tana regiment east of It, and took a posi tion covering one and a half miles on the south bank of the Bio Grande and on the opposite bank they fortified trenches from which a few American soldiers would have been able to defy thousands, so strongly were they constructed. Tho Americans found the trenches on the south bank of the river deserted. McARTHUR BOMBARDS MANILA, APUIL 2G.
