A Wsilie '("'munly Darkey Takes to His ' .Heels..' -: !; A day or two ago a colored man from the l.igle Rock section started to come to Raleigh in a one-mule wagon after a load of guano. He hail lieen hearing :i good deal about the war with Spain and had gone to one of bis white neigh bors and inquired if he thought there was any danger in his coming to Bal eigh. On lioing assured that there was no danger, be hooked tip his mule, took his little boy in the wagon, and started. Before he reached Neuse river he heard veporls that, sounded to him like cannons but. became along until he had crossed Ihe river: a he was coming up tin hifl on this side of the river n half dozen or wore thundering reports were sounded only about n mile in front of him. That Whs enough for Pete. He turned his .initio the other way and liogan layiiif whip. Returning to bis home he eon eluded to buy his guano in Clayton, sc lie went down to Clayton and it is said told the folds there tint the war hai! Already come, and that up in Wako they were lighting like the very old harry, " die had 'heard the road hands blasting rock out near the Gaston Wilder place NORTH CiA.ROUN'lANS' MEET. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the North Carolina Society at Confed' crate Veterans' hall, 11th and E. streets northwest, last night, ways the Washing. ton Star. Dr. Walter C.

NO UNKIND FEELING ENTERTAINED BY THE DEMOCRATS TOWARD THE COLORED PEOPLE. The Plain People vs. the Money Power and Trusts-Good Name and Prosper ity of North Carolina at Stake. To the Democratic ' Voters of North Carolina: Pursuant lo a resolution of the State Executive Committee at its meeting -held February 22ml.'' I hereby give notice that the Democratic State Convention will lie held in the City of Raleigh, at 12 o'clock noon, on Thursday, May 20th, 1808. The plan of organization recently re printed is now in the hands of the Chair men of the County Executive Commit tees, showing the regulations governing primaries and County Conventions. The Convention will consider the nonii- ution of the judges for the several dis tricts, .-wherein the terms of the present, incumbent expires January 1st, 38!)!): will announce the principals and policy of the .party; ami take such action as it may see proper. Judicial conventions should be held prior to tiie date fixed for the State Con vention in the following districts: First. Second, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh and Eleventh. "' " The following resolution amending the plan of organization' .was- adopted at the meeting of the committee, held in De cember, 1S!l7: Resolved, That all white electors who intend to vote with lis in the next elec tion, and who desire the re-establish ment of Anglo-Saxon supremacy and honest .government.' in North Carolina, are cordially invited to participate in all our prima lies and conventions." In the adoption of such a resolution the Democratic party expresses no un kind feeling for tlie colored "people of North Carolina. The record of charity mil kindnesses, public and private, of the white people of this Slate to the olored race, while the Democratic party Avas in full power, refutus such a suggestion, ..But the negro voter, with rare exception, cannot be considered one w;hnm the great principals of govern ment.' the wisdom ol economic policy. or the qualifications of public servants in their responsible offices, guide or control' in his choice of n ballot. Hiw illegiance to the Republican party or its allies, cannot be disturbed by the cor rupt and disgraceful conduct iff those for whom lie votes. Thus, in this day. when tlie Slate is fast seeking dishonor and shame under the hands of a fusion udinhiistrathiii. which regards neither the rights -or person or property,-'.;! nor the good name and honor of the State, the call to duty is addressed to tin white men of North Carolina. In national matters no more vital principles can affect the people and their welfare than thoKJ whii'h mark the present line of conflict, where the plain people of the country have thrown down the gauge of battle to the money powers and trusts, . 'rile increasing control of the necessiuies of life in tlie few, by open violation of law, and the enhance ment of the purchasing power of money, with the ever decreasing value of prop erty, mark the exigency of the hour. Of the Affairs in our beloved Stale, no words should be needed to awaken the patriotism of her sons. A Hilitical cam paign is just ahead of us in which the wager of tlie contest is the good naini a nd prosperity of North Carolina. We should begin work at once: prescribing no test oath to our fellow citizens, but extending a warm welcome nnd full fel low ship to till who want to join us in securing just laws and good government An early Convention m fixed, where dif- ferences, if any exist, will lie adjusted the plan of tight mapped out, and then a united Democracy will triumph. I respectfully suggest that the County Conventions should be held as soon as convenient for 1he election of delegates, The nomination of County officers and members of the General Assembly may lie iwstponpil until later, as each Conn ty Convention may think advisable.

For i-ievcral days the statement has boon' persistently: made that as to the report, a Hirtion of it was ill tiie hands of- the President. Today Secretary Long declared that it is not here all that can be learned is that the ad ministration ex)M'cts to 1iave it in course of a few days. This may be true, but there are good reasons lo believe that tlie 'President will know what the ver- lict is sooner than "in course of a few days." A message from the President is not, likely to go to 'Congress until the last of next. week. Meantime Congress is very active.

DO AS THEY PLEASE REGARDLESS OF WHAT NEWSPAPERS OR THE PUBLIC SAYS. Some Interesting Statements Made by Two Ex-Inmates of the County Cafe De Ray. RAY MANAGEMENT . . . .0 . .0. .03 Tlie investigation of Superintendent Ray's recent notion in allowing Tom Robertson, the seducer, to spend Satur day: ami Sunday visiting in liis Jioine neighborhood, lias not yet )Ken made. s .time lengthens new evidence pours m, ami now two recent prisoners volun teer to go before the investigating com mittee and tell -what they know about the management of the county work house. Solomon Goldstein was bound over to court a ml from there was sent to the oads for sixty days by Judge Timber- lake for carrying a concealed weapon, Saturday .Goldstein w as released and as he is now free be is telling some inter esting facts About Ray, Roliertson and Chamlilci', Jr. 'Goldstein says be will be glad to aimoar ' before 'Messrs. Harris and Barbee (the investigating commit tee), and loll what he knows. Goldstein says Robertson is not the only one who 'has left the county home He says that he, ihimself, went ilionie in citizens' clothes whenever he wanted to a'tid "without a guard. When he was quartered at iParrish Grove he came in to Raleigh nearly every oilier night and W'heu at the Soldiers' 'Homo quarters lie came in just any time alone. Goldstein aserts that on three occa sions he 'bought whiskey for Tom Ro bertson, the seducer. He isstys Robert son would not go -with the prisoners and associated only with the guards. Ro bertson, he states, slept with one of the guard, a Mr. Clni'ppell. iSiiVerintemlent Ray, according to Goldstein, allowed Robertson s friends to cuine in any time to see the seducer, but that friends and relatives of the other nrisoners were turned away. He says Robertson carried a pistol when hi came to town and he saw him lake tin weapon from under his pillow. Goldstein says Ihat when 'M'.ss lies tors seducer went, home to iicml Miminy he left the quarters Friday a ftewioon and did not return until Sunday night He says RolH-rtson's wife came for him mil wailed until he dressed. Then they got in a buggy together and went down the new road across the xdl bridge Chainblee djil not leave the-'quarters' for an hour and a Jialf after Robertson left Goldstein has ait interosing story and some charges which tin? 'court of in quiry" can easily obtain. This report will probably lie withheld for some time anil if tlie investigation i a thorough one it will show that the county Jiotne was blown up from the inside and from negligence of officials. Will Chirk, who served seventeen day in the work house to work out a tine imposed iby Mayor Russ for a ti affray was released Wednesday of this Week lie is another who wits on the ship when she "busted," and testifies to 'an inside cxploside from favoritism. Clark' Bay' John Morgan, one of the prisoners at (the county work house. went ihotne last Saturday might nnd Sunday morning when ho came into breakfast Morgan was about, half drunk Clark says Rols-rtson was allowed more privileges than any of the other prisoners and didn't do anv work. He says Ro. Is-rlson was supposed to tend to the horses, 'but never did so. Roliortsou Clark charges, never Works with the other hands nnd considers himself above them. ('Iiiiiubleo, the man who wont about in Miss Hester's neighborhood with the s ilucer, and who is getting some ihnr knocks around townspeople making all sorts of ehargea against him, comes in for a rare bit of exposure nt the hands of Clark. ' ( lark quotes Chamblee as saying "They wanted to get some more lies in the paper," but lie "didn't care wlt.it anybody, weld," and iIk'ciiuso his fnthi was a county commissioner he wonn do whatever he pleased. This may lie the reason for all this disgraceful management. 'Why not liave the investigation Tight owny? iliave a thorough one and lot the truth- lie .brought to light.
