The form of the order is very SIM

the postal note. On the left hand
side, running down in column form
is in figures the amounts for which
any order can be drawn. The amount
for which the order is made out is
cut out in the left hand column

simply made out and detached, ano
this is the only feature in which the

A Great Anarchist Plot.
AN INTERNAL CONSPIRACY TO
BLOW UP THE NATIONS car
ITOL BUILDING.
Anarchists from all the Leading Cities
Interested-1h he Greatest Plot
of the Age Unearthed-1he
Treasury Building
also TO Suffer.


All Anarchist plot to blow up the
public buildings has been discovered
by the District police.
The leader of the Anarchists ISL.
J. Jaxon, a hall. breed French Cana
dian who has for years been closely
identified with the Chicago Anarch-
lists.
For weeks past a house where the
secret meetings of the Anarchists
have been held has been watched by
the police, and a man named De
| Masters has attended the meetings
and is the informant.
The formula from which the ex-
| plosives were to be made has been
obtained, the compound made and
| tested. 1t is the latest hellish device
of the Anarchists and explodes from
the heat of the sun, throwing out a
deadly poisonous vapor. No arrests
have yet been made.
With the police working steadily
on the ease for weeks past. not
enough information has been oh.
tanned upon which certainty of con-
yiction could be assured, and for this
reason the arrests have been post
poned day after day.
The information which DeMasters
brought was that Jaxon had expect
ed to find no difficulty in organizing
a strong association of Anarchists
here, and that it was also expected
that Anarchists would flock in hert
from all directions with the com
monwealers. Jaxon was disappoint
ed in finding the local Anarchists
but on the day of the commonwea
parade reds came from New York
Philadelphia and Chicago, and
meeting was held. A hint of thi
meeting was given the police at tn
time, but the suspects departed ant
the fear temporarily subsidized.
Shortly after this Sergeant-at
Arms Bright received a letter whicl
was of such an earnest nature warn
ing him of a plot to blow up th
Capitol and other public building
that he decided to investigate.
was one of the hundreds of letter
that he had received, but the earn
estness manifested by the write
caused him to make an ~investiga
ton. He consulted with Maj Moore
superintendent OF the District police
and the author of the letter was me
per agreement, and proved to be ID
, Masters, who had been taken in b
) the Anarchists. De Masters was pu
under pay, and instructed to atten
all the meetings. He did so, an
made daily reports TO the chief {
police.
. Word was finally brought this
with the arrival of Frye's army
, now IN the Cumberland valley, ther
would be an influx of anarchist
and that the time for putting th
, plans into execution would then b
, ripe. 1t was decided to wait unit
= then before making any arrests, an
in the meanwhile Jaxon and hi
followers have obtained informa.io
, that they were being watched.

COL. j. S. CARR.

Press and public have been prolific
in praise Of Col. J. S. Carr for the
splendid success he made of the State
Fair. But not more so than he deserves.
He is entitled to all the complimentary
things said about him. The Charlotte
Epening Ne7gs calls Col. Carr the
"Little Wizard of Durham,'' and says
this of him:
When, therefore, Mr.. Julian S. Carr
was last year elected president OF the
State Fair Association, we felt sure
that the problem of getting up senu-
inely fine fair at Raleigh had been
solved, and we stated at the time that
the election of Mr.. Carr was the best
thing that ever happened for the State
Fair He did not depend upon others
to make it success, but he took hold
of it as he would an individual enter
prise. He took it in hand and applied
to it the same sound business methods
that he has applied to everything with
which he has ever been connected, and
there could be but one result-success
The wonder is that Mr.. Carr, identified
as he is with the best interests Of the
State, had not been called upon years
ago to come to the relief of the State
Fair. In one short year he has revo-
lutonized the Fair He has picked it
up from the gutter, washed its face,
crimped its hair, put it in new clothes
and made it thing of beauty and a
JOY to the State. This is not said with
any desire to fatter Mr.. Carr, but it is
praise that is due TO him and that the
people all over the State will join with
us in according him. There may be
other men in the State who could have
done as well by the Fair as Mr.. Carr
has done, but we doubt if there is
another who would have done it. From
an Indifferent and disappointing con-
Germ, the State Fair has leaped at a
single bound to Il place among the
very best of all the fairs in the land,
and the wand of the Little Wizard Of
Durham has wrought the wonder.

SAVE YOUR LIBERTY,

SAVE YOUR LIBERTY.
1t is to be borne in mind that the
Populist party is a ''reform - organi-
zation.~ Its members cannot affiliate
with the Democratic party because it
is so false, untruthful and corrupt. 1t
runs preachers for Congress and for
other offices, and its Alliances and
some of its campaign meetings are
opened with prayer. Yet it is not too
good to revive an old scare which the
Republican party worked on the
negroes in 1868 and 1870, and aban-
doned after that because the negroes
themselves made fun of it.
A great "reform . organization this
Pop. party is.
The above is from the Charlotte
Observer of Tuesday. While we saw
no handbils, something similar to this
was evidently resorted to in this
county. Lies and intimidations Of the
boldest and most fla grant kind together
with open threats of one kind or
another were brought to bear upon the
negroes and the average voter obeyed
the orders of his political boss i'm
plicitly. The watchword was "take
care Of your wife and Children" they
having been told that Democratic
success would mean starvation for
their families as well as to put them
back in slavery again. And even at
this late and enlightened day such talk
had its effect, as their action plainly
showed.
