two letters from the scene of Hamilton's

The Watermelon Trade in Danger.
(New York Herald.)

An intelligent correspondent points
out as an immediate consequence Of the
Atlanta boycott the paralysis Of the
watermelon trade. 1t is believed that
Governor Gordon and Boanerges Howells
have corner upon all the watermelons
of Georgia, and that unless the Force
bill is at once thrown out by the Senate,
not a melon will be allowed to come
North. The Georgia watermelon is the
best of its kind, and upon the excellence
of this exuberant and permeating fruit
much of the glory of the Georgian COM
monwealth depends.
We had been prepared for desperate
measures upon the part of the Atlanta
boycotters, but not for one of this mag
nitude. The news will carry dismay to
the east side avenues and Joy to the
honest farmers in New Jersey. What
would the North be, what would this
great metropolis become without its
Georgia watermelons 1t is bold and
original step, for if anything could bring
desperate radicals like Evarts, Hoar and
Edmunds to reason it would be te
threaten to deprive them of their water
melons.

The Last Meeting of Importance in the
Campaisn..Ti!iman Will Have Ma

GBy United Press.

[By United Press
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 30.-The last
meeting of Importance in the campaign
was held at Orangeburg yesterday.
This town is the home of Judge Iselar,
one Of the State Senators, charged By
Captain Tillman with having perjured
themselves, and it was feared there
would De row. Great precautions
were taken to prevent trouble. The ex-
ecutive committee requested that no
visitors come from outside the county,
and THAI no organized bodies come to
the meeting. Iselar's friends we're pre-
vailed upon to remain away from the
meeting. Thoro were three thousand
persons present, Tillman having large
majority.
A remarkable feature of the meeting
was Capt. Tillman's body guard. 1t con-
sisted of twenty five men wearing red
shirts, and conspicuously armed to the
teeth. Tillman spoke without Interrupt
ton. In charging perjury against those
Senators who did not vote for a censns
by which re apportionment of represen-
tation could be secured, Capt. 1illman
did not mention Judge Iselar's name, as
ne has done at all other meetings. His
speech was unusually temperate. While
General Earle was speaking the crowd
seemed to be roTdy, and the General
was frequently interrupted. One of the
Tlliman men in the crowd told General
Earle that he was cOrrunt Earle de-
nounced him as liar, and for time
there was considerable excitemert Earle
was very aggressive in the face of an
overwhelming majority against him.
ii is now conceded that Tillman will
have large. majority in the August
convention.

ROBBED THE POSTOFFICE
John Kennedy, Stamp and Registry
Clerk, An AbscOndcr.
Wilmington Starr

Wilmington Starr
The Star was in possession of infor-
nation several days ago that John Ken
nedy, young white man who held the
responsible position of stamp and registry
clerk in the postoffice here had abscond-
ed, after robbing the of1ic, but withheld
publication of the matter by request.
Yesterday Postmaster G. z. French
gave to a reporter the following state
ment of the facts in the case:
Shortly after the end of the last quar-
ter it was discovered that John Kennedy,
the stamp and registry clerk, was
"short" in his cash. Mr. French called
Kennedy's attention to it, and the latter
promised to make the amount good in a
few days At the time stated, however,
Kennedy absconded, and it was then
discovered that he had stolen three reg
istered letters, containing quite an
amount of money, evidently for his
travelling expenses. A warrant is out
for his arrest, the postmaster says, and
the inspectors have traced him to a point
about five hundred miles from here
Kennedy will without doubt be captured
though he may put the officers to some
trouble.
One of the packages stolen contained
800 and the other 1925. The amount
that Kennedy was discovered to be
''short" in his accounts was 1920. O
this he refunded $3.50 last Saturday ant
promised to bring the remainder ID
few days. Sunday he was at the post
office and attended to his duties as usual
That night he went to church, and after
wards was seen going to the railroad
with satchel in hand, and it was fount
that he had takrn the southbound tran
on the Atlantic Coast Line for parts un
| known.
Kennedy was about twenty-five
years Of age.

publican party, has already been noted
by the press of the State. Mr.. MOORE
has long been a prominent Republican
OF the Second District, and has been
prominently talked of for Congress. He
was an able and vigorous solicitor, and
his withdrawal from the Republican
party at this tune is significant. had a
talk with him to day.
Among other things I asked hirr #.
IN his opinion, the present Congress
would pass the Lodge election bill. He
replied that if the recent demonstration
North and South did not have the effect
OF at least making the Republicans in
Congress pause, that he thought it would
be passed, as it was now a necessity in
order to preserve the Republican supre-
macy IN power, and that in matters of
necessity that party knew no Law, and
had no regard for precedents.
then asked him if the election bill
passed, what would be it's effect upon
the country. He replied that it's passage
would further ALLEVIATE the sections, bring
about bloodshed, and produce a ccndi.
ton of affairs which no good citizen
would like to behold.
then asked him how could the bad
effects of this bill be best offset.
He replied:

and thus showing the managers that we
have little of the spirit our ancestors
left in US. If the Republicans in Con-
gress had carried out their plan, no man
in the South could have voted for Con.
gresham at all; as the bill as original
ly introduced had provision in it dis
franchising every man who sympathized
with the South in the late civil war, and
what white man in the South did not:
Shall it be said of any white man ir
North Carolina that he continues to vote
with party that manifests the spirit
and inclination to take away his righ
of suffrage?
Mr.. MOORE further said that he ha(

that party to be right, and when b
