Kolb for Governor. Capt. Kolb
cries fraud, in order to make it
appear that he has done some
thing to earn the corruption
fund which he collected from his
dupes of New England, But
all the money that he collected
from his Republican friends,
and his unholy alliance with
Senator Hoar, could not corrupt
the people of Alabama. 1t makes
a true A labamian blush to think
that such a man as Capt. Kolb
came so near being Governor Of
that State four years ago. But
Reuben is dead, and thank God
for it; and old Alabama is safely
anchored on the Democratic
shore. Alabama looks to her
sister Southern State, North
Chrolina, to follow in her foot
steps and down the Populist
party forever, and together with
Alabama hand down to future
generations a fair and unfair
niShed name.
The Caucasian seems to think
that the people Of Alabama have
very loose ideas about honor. l
would advise the gentleman,
should he ever visit Alabama,
that it would not be exactly
healthy for him to make such
statements as he did in his paper
a few days ago. He wanted to
know if the good people of Ala
bama will submit to such a
thing as the last election. Now,
[ would like to know if the good
people of North Carolina will
submit to such accusations as he
is making against the Demo
cratic party? 1t is to be hoped
that the Populist followers in
North Carolina will soon see the
error Of their way as they have
in Alabama and return to the
grand old Democratic party.

HOW IT WAS IN ALABAMA.
Let North Ca rlina Do Likewise.
GOLDSBORo, N. c.,
AuOilSt 10

Ed. I,'gns 1T behooves me as
a ciizen of Alabama to say one
word in defence of my State I
see that the Caucasian, in an edi-
torial, has made an attact upon
the Democratic party of Ala
bama, and cries fraud in the last
Gubernatorial election. Now,
the C,tcasion has been misin-
formed in regard to the election
law of Alabama, or else he
wilfully misquotes it. All Ala
bama knows, even Capt. Kolb
himself, that the election was
fair, and | am sure the Caucasian,
would think so if he only under
stood our election law.
By the Sayne election law,
which now prevails in Alabama,
each and every voter is com
PEELED to register in May before
the election in August, or else
be disfranchiscd for two years.
Each voting precinct has a reg
istrar, who supplies each voter
with a certificate of registra-
ton, and without this certificate
he cannot be admitted to the
polls. The registration book is
returned to the Probate Judge
in May. In August, when the
votes are cast, the returns are
made to the Probate Judge, who
compares the votes Of each pre-
cinct with the number of voters
registered; and if there are more
votes cast in any beat than there
are registered from that box
then the whole box is thrown
out. So YOU see, there is nc
chance to perpetrate fraud, and
the charge of the Caucasian thai
some of the beats gave a greater
majority for Democracy thar
there were voters is wilfu
misrepresentation.

If the good people of Alabam;

was also present without any
minute from his friends at home.
Epistles were then read from
the following Yearly Meetings
viz: Dublin, New England, New
York, Ohio, Baltimore, Canada,
Indiana. Western, hald in Ind.
Wilmington, held in Ohio, Kan
sas, and Oregon. The one from
Iowa had failed to come. This
correspondence is kept up yearly
by the different yearly meetings
by committees appointed for the
purpose. SomeY. M. IS sent differ
ent letters to each seperate meet
ing, while some others have
adopted the plan of sending a
copy of same letter to all the
Yearly Meetings, the latter plan
being adopted by n. G. last year
and this. While some of them
contain more or less exhortation,
Or preaching, they mostly give
work engaged in by their respec-
tive meetings and partake some
of the nature of correspondence
between different members of a
family scattered abroad.
A committee of sixteen was APP
pointed to prepare suitable re-
plies and produce them to fu-
ture setting.
Then adjourned to meet in joint
session 2 p. m. In the afternoon
session Memorials were read for
David V. Henly and DIR. Nereus

since last Yearly Meeting, also
for VIM. Cox who died some
years ago. Many testimonies
were borne TO their christian

A numbesof series of meetings

The meeting recommended a

a BATTLE THAT WIS NOT
FOUGHT.

An interesting paper read before
Thos. Ruffin Camp Confederate
Veterans at their annual Re
union, by DIR. Thos. HI. c. Hill, of
Goldsboro.
Thinking that some expert
ences Of the early part Of the
war might prove interesting, [
thought I would give an account
of a battle that was not fought.
I will call it the Battle of
Lockwood's Folly Bridge"
Very early in the year 1861,
when everything was in confu-
sion and turmoil, there were
stationed at Smithville, Bruins
wick county, the following com
panies: Sampson Rangers. Capt.
Faison; Duplin Rifles, Capt.
benson; Rowan Rifle Guard,
Capt. McNeely; Columbus Guard.
Capt. S'arly: Cabarrus Black
Boys, Capt. Slough; Brunswick
Guard, Capt. Brooks-as fine a
body of men as ever were
brought together during the war
all under command of Col.
Iverson, formerly of the United
States Army. They had not
yet been organized into a regi-
ment, but were independent com
panies sent to Smithville for or
ganization and drill.
To talk about enthusiasm hardly
expressed the feeling of the men;
they were just crazy to meet
the enemy Any one company
we had could whip anything the
Yankees could bring against
them. Everything. was quiet
nothing but guard mounting,
drill and dress parade, with oc-
casional walks with the girls.
Occasionally some excitement
would be caused by a blockader
appearing in sight, and on one
or two occasions by small vessels
running the blockade. One
evening, l think early in June
1861, shortly after dinner, when
the whole camp was taking an
evening rest everything was
thrown into confusion by the
beating of the "long roll" Staff
officers were hurrying to head
quarters, and citizens, in alarm,
we're asking what was the mat
ter. It was soon ascertained
that one or two citizens from the
Lockwood Folly section had
come iasA and reported that the
Yankees were landing a heavy
force from a large steamer on
the beach, few miles below
Lockwood's Folly Bridge. They
reported having seen the ship
and stated that the troops ano
tents were on the beach. A
council of war was held, and il
| was decided that the enemy
must be met, and, if possible,
that they must be met before
they could cross Lockwood s
| Folly Bridge. It was proposed
that scouts should be sent ou1
| at once to determine the charac
i ter and form of the enemy. The
i writer of this, and Col. Swif-
Galloway, then lad, volunteered
| as scouts, and started out OF
!, horseback about six o'clock il
Z the evening. We passed oul
picket line about three miles
!. from town, and learned from
them that the enemy was GER
tain.y landing troops. People
who had passed stated that they
: had certainly seen them.

THE TARIFF BILL.

The House, as announced i'll
yesterdays ARGUS. has passed
| the Senate amendments to the
Wilson tariff bill, which now only
awaits the signature of the Presi
dent to become a law.
The hitch all along has been
mostly on the sugar question.
Sugar is still on the dutiable
list, but even this is greatly re-
duced by the new bill as com
pared to the high rate of protec-
ton afforded it by the odious
Republican Mckinley bill.
The vital question of the hour
was not why the Senate did not
pass a fair tariff bill, but
whether the House should ac
cept the Senate bill as a choice
between it and no Legislation at
all. Why Senators have been
faithless to their high duties and
false to their party obligations
can be inquired into hereafter.
The people of the country will
take care of that issue in due
time. The men whom the cOun-
try hold responsible for seeking
to defeat tariff Legislation will
end their public careers with
their present terms in the Sen
ate. For these men there can be
no future in American politics,
but the fact that these men will
fail as political suicides did not
help the languishing business
interests of the country, and the
House rose to the necessities of
the situation and nobly did the
best that could be done under
the circum
The Democratic caucus Mon
day unanimously decided to con-
cur in the Senate amendments to
the tariff bill and thus effect its
final p;tssage No man will be
misunderstood by his constitu-
ents for supporting such meas
ure. The whole country we'll
understands that the friends Of
tariff reform in the House were
in the position of the helpless
Wayfarer who is ordered by
armed bandits to stand and de-
! liver. and it is the unanimous
sentiment of the friends of tariff
reform throughout the land that
the House did the proper thing
in ending the tariff contest by
accepting the Senate bill, since 1t
could not in any way improve it
and be sure of success on a sec
ond return of the Senate. Defec-
tive as the measure is it is vastly
better for the whole country
than the present monopoly pro
tecting and industry taxing Nc
Kinley tariff, and our paralyzed
industries, commerce and trade
imperatively demand that the
tariff policy of the government
shall be settled as speedily as
possible.
The House has gone further,
and in addition to passing the
Senate bill, (which goes now
to the President for his sigma
ture-they have passed and sent
to the Senate a bill providing fo1
free sugar, iron ore and coal and
throwing upon the Senate the re-
sponsibiHty of enacting or fore
going these Democratic demands

BALTIMORE, Mp, March 0.-Cardinal
Gibbons is in daily expectation oi de-
ciaion from Rome in regard to the 70.
movNl OF tho ban OF the church from
tho orders Of the Odd Follows and
the knights Of Pythias, which has
been mailed to tho popo.
Father Thomas, secretary TO the car.
dinal, said to-day that no intimation OF
tho decision from Rome had yet becn
received, but that tho document itaelt
would appear shortly.
1t is generally expected in Catholic
circles that it will grant permission to
communicate OF tho church condi.
tionally. That Is, each prospective
member Of tho Odd Fellows and
Knights OF Pythins who belongs to the
Catholic church will first be required
to receive tho sanction OF tho pastor Of
his particular parish.
Tho pope is also said to be consider
ing tho advisability OF removing the
ban OF the church from Free Masonry,
but, speaking for the cardinal, Father
Thomas said it was not probable that
Catholics would ever be permitted 10
