JUDGE MAKEMs0M.
On the Republican Strength in the State
Campaign.

On the Republican Strength in the State
Compaign.
Judge Makemsom, of Georgetown,
was in the city yesterday. In con-
versation with representative of the
STATESMAN he emphasized the fact
very strongly that the Republicans
were this year organizing with
thoroughness never known before in
the State. He said when his party
gave it's Endorsement to Judge Clark,
it did 80 with it's whole soul and will
do it's part to elect him. He thinks
the Republicans will poll this year
for their national ticket 10000 votes
and is confident that at Leaf 95 per
cent of them will vote for
George Clark. He says his
party's fight is to roll up
as big vote as possible for the ma
tional ticket and George Clark, other
issues are entirely secondary to these.
being enrolled in the Clark columns
as also Galveston, Grayson, Smith
Governor Hogg's home county, and
many others which the Hogg forces
have been relying on. His figures
give Clark 10000 votes outside of
100000 American Democratic voters,
(which remain after taking off the
Peoples party and prohibition vote
to be divided some way between Hogg
and Clark. That Clark will get at
least one third of these nobody doubts
and that 10000 votes will elect this
year is unquestioned. Indeed it is
commended 100000 will elect. Judge
Makemson said that all the
elements of the Republican party are
thoroughly united, except the one
dissenter Arch Cochran. That Quincy
and Ferguson have settled their old
differences and that both will shortly
be in East Texas making campaign
speeches. He thinks that Hogg will
not get more than five per cent Of the
negro vote. Judge Makemson is per-
fectly confident of Clark's election.

FIGHT IN MID-AIR.
Two Painters Fight on scaffold Two Hun
dred Feet Above the Water.

NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 3.-Two
painters engaged in repainting the
cables and guy ropes of the cantilever
bridge across the Niagara river
swung slender scaffold 200 feet
above the stream on which 10 do the
work. They were both Canadians,
named Jos. Greaves and VIM. Garnet.
At dusk they engaged in a terrific
hand to hand struggle in which
Greaves nearly lost his life.
Who started the quarrel is
unknown but Garnet lost
his temper, grasped Ratchet and
threatened to brain Greaves. The
latter grasped his wrist, but Camel
was the stronger and pressed him to
the edge of the scaffold, threatening
to hurl him into the river. To save
himself from falling Greaves loosered
his hold on Gamet's wrist and grasped
at a rope. Three quick, sharp blows
were rained upon him by his enraged
assailant. Two fell on the back of his
head, split open the scalp and left ear.
He staggered, lost his hold
anu ieii, puG was caughG
between two guy ropes, where
he lay out of reach of the other with
blood streaming from his cuts.
Greaves climbed hand over hand up
the cables to the bridge floor. Garnet
followed Ratchet in hand. Here an
other wo1kmen interfered and the
wounded man was borne to the Cana
dian shore where surgeons were sum-
moned and dressed his wounds. 1t is
doubtful whether he can live. Gar
net escaped while Greaves was being
attended TO. The Canadian officers
think he has fled to the United States.

b address by saying that there was
discussion in the ranks of Democracy
ad he wanted the members of the
prty to get together and discuss the
qestions which were dividing them.

Ike the church, was always

Ielcomed back to the fold. The gov
Cnor's speech was hardly more than
;resume or duplication of the ad-
lresses he has delivered at other
points since the opening of the cam
paign. His remarks were listened to
but there was very little cheering or
Applause.
An incident of the governors visit
to the city which will not be likely
to secure him any votes occurred in
front of the Oatman house, the lead
ing hotel of the city. This morning
Governor Hogg drove down from the
residence of his brother-in-law, HI. G.
Ferguson, and stopped at the hotel.
The porter of the hotel, colored man
named Harrison WEIGH, came out
when the carriage stopped and grab
bed the governors grip to carry it
into the house. He says he didn't
know the governor and thought he
was a guest who had just arrived.
The governor snatched the grip from
him with the remark: "Let that
alone. Negroes are all treacherous."
Several gentlemen heard the remark,
and one of them, Hogg man, remon-
'strated with the governor, telling him
such language would injure him,
whereupon the governor hunted up
the porter and made an humble
apology. A reporter interviewed the
negro later and he said the apology
don't go; that he had intended to vote
for Hogg, but he wanted it under

PARIS, Tex, Oct. 3'-Another bad
piece of work has occurred in the race
troubles which have been causing so
much wrong eight miles south of here.
Last night the residence, barns and
outbuildings of John Ashley were
destroyed by fire of which the origin
was undoubtedly incendiary. Ashley
is the man who killed the negro
Jared Burns, which was the beginning
of the trouble. No particulars are
yet known though of course it ia
thought to be the act Of some of the
negroes. Officers are out now invssti-

that trail might be found from the
fire.

During the discussion of the owner
ship of railroads, President B. took
occasion to commend our State Rail
road Commission.
At the close of his speech, President
B. asked all who believed in those prin-
ciples and were going to support them,
to rise. And the whole body rose almost
as a man; men of both colOrs and of
nearly all professions, rose.
If this can be taken as any expires
sion of opinion of the people Of Cabar-
rus, the county is almost unanimously
Alliance.
The cheering of the speaker at times
was almost deafening, and again the
audience went wild with enthusiasm,
and his replies to Col. NJ received most
tumultous applause:
President B. has none of the arts of
oratory, either Of action or of utter
ance, but he knows how to marshal his
facts and arrange his arguments to
hold and convince his crowd. Some
thing more than a eneer or a contempt
ible reference to such meetings rs the
one held in Concord will be needed to
counteract the impression made upon
intelligent, thinking men. Such things
only lead people to see how little can
be said against Alliance doctrines.
Three and a. half hours is a very long
time for people to stand up listening to
a speaker; but they did it last We'd
nesday in Concord. The Alliance of
Cabarrus is well satisfied that President
Butler is the right man in the right
place. Yours truly,
CABARRUS.

As to what is being taught agriculture in all of its branches, and the closely allied sciences, together with English, occupy nearly the entire time of the course. Under the subject of agriculture, first, knowledge of the thought necessary as foundation. The agriculture of ancient countries is re- viewed briefly; followed by the history of English agriculture, and concluding with the history and development of the agri- culture of our own country
