WINSTON, N. c., Nov. 8.

WINSTON, N. G., Nov 8.
Six negroes made their escape from
the county Jail here at 1920 to-day.
Township Constable Harris went in
the jail after negro named Price, who
was to be tried before magistrate for
fornication and adultery and just as the
officer opened the cell door to bring
Price out the other prisoners rushed
upon him, grabbing the door and at the
same time knocking Mr. Harris down on
the floor and one grabbed his pistol, but
the officer succeeded in getting it back
and fir d twice at one of the negroes as
he went out of the door
One of the negroes who escaped, John
McIver, was in jail awaiting trial for an
attempt at rape on small girl. The
others are charged with larceny
There were eighteen prisoners in the
jail corridor when the six went out.
Officers are hunting those who got away
and report was received to night that
they have been surrounded in piece Of
woods few miles east of Winston.
Particulars were brought here to-day
of horrible affair which occurred few
nights ago near Stone Mountain, Surry
county. While Charley and John Nc
Bride, brothers, were on their way to
Stokes county to visit their sister, they
were met in the road by a party Of six
toughs. A controversy arose over which
should give the road when the toughs
opened fire on the two brothers, some
twenty five shots being fred. When
the smoke cleared away Charley
Mcbride was found to be fatally wound
ed. The uninjured brother secured two
physicians, who say the wounded man
cannot live, one ball having passed
through his bowels.
After the battle in the road, the crowd
of toughs, who are still at large, went to
the residence of issolute woman, liv-
ing near and proceeded to demolish
things generally. They tore down the
chimney, knocked out one side of the
house, broke up the bedstead, threw all
the clothing and bedding into the yard,
and made q bonfire of it and then set fire
to the house.
The tobacco factory of Daniel Marion
with large lot of manufactured tobacco
was des royed by fire at Pitt Mountain
last night. The owner had SO, 400 in
surance on the stock and building. His

SITUATION IN TURKEY
NO CHANGE FOR THE ,BETTF II
IN THE OTTOMAN
EMPIRE
FRESH MiSSACRES ARE REPORTED

Many Armenian Villages Have Been
Burned and PiIisged--The New Min
istry not Regarded with Favor by
the Powers aud England Proposes to
Dismember Tunkey--RumOrs of Pal
ace ConspIrac,es Continue and Troops
are being Concentrated at NsaTash.
CONsTANTINoPLg, Nov. S-There is
no change for the better in the parlia-
ment situation here unless it rests in the
fact that the Ottoman Bank has ad-
vanced the Turkish government the sum
of 81 800, 600, which will enable the new
Miui,ter of Finance Sabri Pasha, to pro
vide for the most pressing needs of
the government. The latter, it would
seem, consist in fitting out the army re-
serves just called out in the Porte's at
tempt TO make some show Of trying to
restore order in Armenia
The Ambassadors of the powers do not
regard the new Turkish ministry with
favor; it is not expected to last long, and
it is not thought tha will be able to do
anything worth mentioning towards
clearing the parliament atmosphere.
The rumOrs Of palace conspiracies
which have been in circulation for
months pat continue to be bruited
about The name of the deposed Sui
tan MOhammed Murad, relieved from
the throne because he was alleged to be
suffering from ldiocy, is once more
mentioned as being a likely candidate
for the throne There are many people
who believe that the deposed Sultan is
quite as sane as the present ruler of the
Ottoman Empire Abdul Medjig.
The Turkish troops are being Concen-
traued at Marash for an advance on
Zeitoun as soon as the military pIepara-
tions are completed.
Further private reports received here
from Diarbekir estimate the number Of
Armenian vic inns of the recent mas
sacres there at 5000. lC is believed that
this number is III excess of the actual
total of those killed, Tut there seems to
be no ,ubt that the victims are num-
bered by the thousands.

LONDON, Nov. g. "A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Rome says that the Cor

BRICE on THE ELECTION.
Thinks the Next President Will be a
Republican.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. S.-"The results
of the election of 1895 make it almost
certain that the nominee Of the next Re-
publican National convention will be
elected President" said Senator Calvin
S. Brice, to an evening paper represen
tative at the Union depot last evening.
Mr.. Brice was seated in Pullman car
on the eastern express The defeated
statesman said he was going to New
York. The reporter asked him how the
election would affect our Presidential
politics, and Mr. Brice made answer as
quoted above.
The Senator continued: IF the next
President is not a Republican, the last
election has at least added very much to
the interest that will be felt in the delib
erations of the Republican Convention.
Who will be nominated 2 Well, Mr..
Mckinley is charming gentleman, able,
popular and probably as magnetic as any
of the candidates"
To the reporters suggestion that the
public would like to know the Senator's
explanation of the result III Ohio, Mr..
Brice said:
''Ohio did just what the other States
did. The result in Ohio was not different
from what it was in New York, CT Ken
tucky, or Maryland. The people seem
dissatisfied with the general policy OF
the Democratic party, and no local argu-
ment mas any effect on the national i'm
pulse"
"In Ohio we did our best, but it was
useless. Chairman Anderson of the
Democratic Committee did excellent
work, bat the odds we're too great. Gen
Foraker will be elected TO succeed me as
Senator, and what shall do does not
concern the public"
The reporter asked Mr. Brice if Presi
dent Cleveland's policy was to be blamed
for the wholesale Democratic disaster
The Ohio Senator hesitated momen
and then said:
''Eo, don't think Mr.. Cleveland il
blamed personally for the tidal wave
Still he has to bear his share Of th'
blame as being part Of the National or

WASHINGTON, D. O., I
,eeial to the News and Observer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8.
Mr.. A. J. Boyer, of this city, is editor
Of the United American, and a promi-
nent leader of the A P. A. Discussing
the recent elections, Mr.. Boyer said
There is one thing that was proved
by Tuesdays election, and that was the
influence and solidarity of the a. T. a.
There never has been time in the his
tory of the organization when 1t has
taken such prominent part in politics
and with such pronounced success.
Wherever the association put forth IFS
powers it carried the Gay, and there is
no use in wasting time picking out local
issues to account for that general land
slide.
''Take the State of Massachusetts,, for
example. There, OF the two candidates,
Greenhalge and Williams, the A. z. A.
had nothing serious against either one
of them The members, as rule, fol-
lowed their personal preferences at the
polls, but many preferred Greenhalge,
and the result speaks for itself.
In Ono the a. P. A. favored Bush
nell, and our members were instructed
to vote soli.ly for him, and with an Or
ganiziiion of $4,000 men it is easy 20
see what happened Tuesday and how it
came to pass Campbell IS a good man,
but he is not in such close t)uca with
the A. P. A as is Bushnell, who has
very warm feeling for the organ'za-
tioa, and has virtually indorsed its prin-
ciples. He gos rousing big majority,
ErK IL ok
friendly to the association.
"But it was in Kentucky that the A.
P. A. scored its graudest victory. There
is membership in that State Of 10000.
It is absurd to mention Carlisle, Black
burn, the tariff or any other feature as a
cause for Republican success. The truth
of the matter is that the Democratic
platform contained plank denouncing
the A. P. A, and, furthermore, they
placed some Roman Catholics on the
ticket. Any man may become mem
ber of the association, providing ne
pledges himself never TO vote for Cath
olic. Now, in Kentucky, and in the
Southern States generally where the Dem
ocratic party prevails, the majority OF our
members are Democrats, just as in the
Northern States the majority are Repub
lfcans, bat they are expectedsto put the
principles OF the association above party
affiliations.
s.The republican platform in Kentucky
did not attack us, although they did not
in so many words endorse our princi-
plies, aud the result was that our associ-
alton voted the Republican ticket solidly
That is the secret of the whole matter.
In Maryland there was no real American
issue at stake, and it cannot be said that
any victory was scored there, for the
reason that there was no fight of any
Importance in which we took part.

EgyDtian Cotton.

The Philadelphia Record says: Much
ado is made over the increased impor-
tations of Egyptian cotton within the
last year. These importations afford a
most substantial and gratifying proofof
the growing strength and prosperity of
American cotton manufactures. For
merly this E yyptian cotton. which is
adapted only for making the finest ia
brics, had little or no market in this
country. 1t was necessary, therefore,
to import all the Swiss musIins, laces
and other fine tissues made from the
Nilotic fibre but, with improved ma
chinery and the application of lntelli-
gent labor, American cotton manufac-
turers are movable to successfully COM
pete with foreign rivals in nearly every
field of production. American goods
manufactured from Egyptian cotton are
now finding their way into foreign
markets. The increase Of the imports
of this fibre affords an accurate gauge OF
the increase of its manufacture in this
country. But these imports Of Egyp-
tian cotton are, after all, a mere drop
in the bucket compared with American
exports Of cotton.'
