THE SPEAKING AT STATESvILLE.
The Report Of It From Another Point
of View,

THE STATE CHRONICLE printed
Sunday a special sent By an advocate
of the Third party regarding the speak
ing at Statesville Saturday. 1t was
expected that another telegram, giving
the other side OF the case, would be
received, but this, as stated. did not
come. The following from the special
report in The Charlotte Observer gives
the other side:
"a division of time was refused by
the local managers Of the Alliance
meeting. on the ground that the hour
was late and there were three speeches.
However, Mr.. Butler later on accepted
Maj. Robbins challenge for joint
discussion and April I'd was appointed
as the date. Mr.. Skinner being the
first speaker, made an entertaining
Democratic speech for two hours, ex-
cepting his advocacy Of the subtreas-
ury. He declared himself Democrat
and advised his hearers to stay
in that party as they had much to
expect from it, repeating, in fact, the
major portion of his speech of Fri
day in Charlotte. Maj. Robbins asked
him several pointed questions in re-
gard to the sub-treasury. Mr.. Skin
ner's replies were full of generalities
and far from satisfactory. Mr.. But
Ter, who came next, made his old IL
lusions 10 the Observer as the leopard
that has changed his name but not his
spots. Immediately shouts Of laughter
for Caldwell were heard all over the
room, and one individual yelled "L. L..
Polk is the leopard" A good deal of
; confusion was created for few mo.
ments, after which Mr.. Butler accepted
Maj. Robbins challenge and retired
without making speech. Col. Polk
' followed in short speech full of Third
: party illusions and leaning, although
\ he seemed afraid to show his hand
1 openly. In reply to a question pri
d vately he stated that he was in favor
+ of the Third party. A large crowd
e was present and it is too early to tell
e what the effect of the speeches will be
n Some men with Third party leanings

d was not such as would draw them

PLEASANT WORDS FROM THE PRESS
What the Newspapers ara Saying of the
State Chronicle.

CnarlOtto observer.
We regret to part with Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, who has sold the STATE
CHRONICLE to Mr.. T. R. Jernigan.
Mr.. Daniels is a man of ability and
character and has done more within
the past eight years in shaping public
affairs in North Carolina than any
man of his age in the State. 1t has
not always been our pleasure to agree
with him on questions of policy, but
he has always meant to do what was
best for the party and he State. The
Observers best wishes attend him upon
his retirement from journalism. which,
however, will doubtless be but temper
ary. 1t is pleasure to welcome Mr..
Jernigan upon his return TO newspaper
work. He has fine abilities, is 8
trenchant writer, has the courage o.
his convictions and is wiuhal an accom-
plished gentleman.

price OF wool had increased and the
wool industry, which was most pros

result of protecting the wool

Special Cor State Chronicle
RALEIGH, n. c., March 21.-In
recent issue of your paper you stated
that the Rev. Mr. Pearson had been
selected to succeed Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon.
Many of the readers of your paper are
under the impression that it is Mr..
Pearson, the evangelist who visited
our city few years since. This is
not the case. Rev. Arthur T. Pier
son, D. D, who filled the pulpit Of
Mr.. Spurgeon's tabernacle SO ac-
ceptably during the illness Of
that distinguished divine is the preacher
selected by the congregation. He is
known to be the one that Mr.. Spurgeon
preferred as evidenced by letter ne
wrote of him, in which he said, "If
you know the story in full, as l know
it, how and why DR.. Pierson is in the
Tabernacle to-day, you would feel as !
do, that if ever Gods hand was in any
thing it is he that has sent
him; and that being so ! be-
lieve he has sent him for
a purpose. My beloved people, God
is giving you now an opportunity.
Will you embrace it? l believe you
will"
DR.. Pierson was Mr.. Spurgeon's
assistant for some time before his death
and conducted services for him during
his illness. He was horn in New
York in 1887. AT the age of fifteer
he was converted to Christ and be
came member of the Presbyterian
church. Having passed through co'leg
and received the usual theological train
ing, he was licensed to preach by th
New York Presbytery and shortly al
ter wards, at the age of twenty-three
he accepted the charge of the Congre
gational church at Binghampten, Ne,

turned to the Presbyterian communio
and successively filled pastorates q

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., March 21.-
The Indians have always been known
for their devilish ways of torture, but
1t has remained to a band of Mexican
bandits to cap the climax. Duth
Henry's band of horse-thieves raided
Henry Withers' ranch on the Carrita
river recently, driving away all his
stock. Withers started after the
band single-handed and succeeded in
shooting down~three of them from
ambush before they discovered
that only one man was pursuing them.
They succeeded in capturing him as he
was trying to get away. Death was
his sentence; but shooting was too easy
death. Withers was taken out on
the hot sand-beds and left to lie naked
for six hours fully exposed to the suns
rays. This was not enough and he
was then carried, still nude, to bed
OF cactus bushes, where he was laid on
the sharp points. He was bound
tightly to stake, and then a large ant
nil, which was near, was torn
open with sticks and he was
left to his fate. The insects
swarmed out and over Withers' BODY and
within two hours he was dead from
their bights. The ants did not leay,
him alone, however, until every particle
OF flesh was eaten from his bones.

perusal of his last communication

faintest suggestion of unwisdom. The
