policy of the white metal leaders, as
forecasted in the dispatches of the

SOUND MONEY MEN,
Under the Lead Of William O.
Whitney, of New York,
WILL MAKE A WARN FIGHT At eHIclso
To Prevent a Complete Victory for the
Free Silver Fore=s-They Profess
to Have Some Unexploited
Ammunition at Hand.

NEW YORK. July lit was rumored
Tuesday that the sound-money men
who will go to Chicago to wage war,
under the leadership of VIM. c. Whit
ney, upon the free coinage Of silver l6
to /, were holding in reserve a move
which would put a new face on the
situation. The details OF the plans OF
the gold men, however, are well
guarded, and the intentions of the
eastern democrats will not be dis
closed until they reach the convention
city. II is reported, however, that
they are prepared to go beyond mere
protest.
Mr.. Whitney spent busy day max.
ing the 6nal arrangements for the
campaign. lie and those who are as
sociated with him in the sound money
movement were kept busy answering
appeals and suggestions, which came
in all day from sound money men in
all parts OF the country. Mr.. Whitney
spoke more confidently than he had
since he consented to lead the sound
money forces.
ave are more confident OF success
now than at any time since the silver
boom started, he said. "When It was
first suggested that the eastern demo
Gratis ought to rise up against silver
plank the fight looked like a hopeless
one. The situation has changed ma
terially since then. At first little at-
tention was paid to the plans of those
who opposed the silver boom. Grad
uallyt however, the graveness OF the
situation impressed itself upon the
minds Of eastern democrats and fnan-
ciers. aud the apathy that had been so
marked disappeared. The outlook for
the advocates OF gold standard was
never brighter than to-day. The con-
ditions are improving In favor OF the
party as whole. mean, OF course, that
the chances of disruption have de-
creased"
Influential New York democrats are
not now urging a bolt on the part OF
east. Those who place the victory OF
sound money above every other con-
sideration are decrying bolt be-
cause it would divide the sound money
vote, and those whose chief wish is
party victory oppose 1t because they
think the republicans are hoping 1t
will take place. Some Of the extreme
sound-money men fear that Mr. Whit
ney may go far toward compromise.
Mr.. Whitney has invited large num-
ber OF sound-money leaders, who are
not delegates to the convention, to go
to Chicago and assist him. Many will
accompany him when he starts, and
others will follow. lie will be sup
ported in Chicago by corps Of as
skillful and influential workers as the
democracy OF the east eau furnish.

Davis Monument.

The Reunion at Richmond Closes With
the Laying OF the Cornerstone Of the
Davis Monument
RICHMOND, Va, July ALL the ofil-
GERS of the United Confederate Veter-
ans were reelected just before adj
journment Wednesday evening and
the sessions came to an end to-day.
The days programme included
parade of all visiting military, the
camps from all the states and other
organizations and the laying OF the
cornerstone of the monument TO JEFF
ferson Davis In Monroe park in this
city. IL Is estimated there were
about 10000 strangers in the city.
There is no doubt whatever
that there was never before such a
crowd in Richmond, and it surpassed
by far in numbers those who came to
witness the unveiling of the Lee monu-
ment a few years ago. It was proba-
bly, the last turnout Of the survivors
of the armies OF the confederacy OF the
soil Of Virginia, where SO many of
their comrades now sleep their last
sleep. There will never be an occasion
to bring them together again.
The final meeting was called to order
by Gen. Gordon, and Rev. J. p. Smith,
who served on Stonewall Jackson's S
staff, made the prayer Gen. Gordon,
in opening the proceedings, stated that
the session would necessarily be a
short one, and the remaining business
would be disposed of in order to afford
all an opportunity of attending the
ceremonies incident to the laying Of
the cornerstone of the Davis monu-
ment.
After adopting resolutions of thanks
to the people of Richmond and giving
three cheers for Gen. Gordon, at the
suggestion of one-armed veteran, tn ,
sixth annual reunion of the United
Confederate veterans was declared by
the chairman adjurned sine die.

gold bugs are plotters, aud we must

Tillman's note of defiance, shrieked

kev.note of the silverites from now
on. They do not propose to rest on
their oars. even with the assurance
that they have an overwhelming ma

In this way, so far as concerns their

convention. They have borrowed a
leaf from Chauncey Depew's manual

convention of '99, and the story

ANOTHER ACCIDENT At THE n. &
w. CROSSING.

Durham is fast becoming noted for
railroad accidents in which human life
is involved. 1t begins to look like the
life of immortal souls counts for very
little where the running of trains IS
involved.
Men have been killed, good men
and true, have been broken up and
disfigured for life and yet these rail
road men sing with a seeming perfect
indifference that ''men may come and
men may go" but their trains go on
forever.
Tuesday a wagon loaded with lum-
Der was crossing near the Workman
Wooden mills when the rear end
of the wagon was struck by the SHIFT
ing engine. The wagon was badly done
mn and one of the attendants bruised
up pretty badly.
This was another case that would
have been prevented if the ordinance
passed at the last meeting of the board
Of aldermen had gone into effect at
once. The people must have some
protection and the ordinance requlr-
ING every train to come to stop at
each crossing in the town limits
would have prevented this accident.
The railroad authorities had just as
well realize the fact that human lie
and nroperty must and shall be pro-
tected in this country. 1t may cost
the railroads much money, but what
do dollars and cents count when LIE
is at stake?

A RUNAWAY.

There seems to be an epidemic OF
accidents in Durham. They come on
the railroad. on the streets, and IN all
sorts of shapes. \ day does not pass
without an accident of some kind.
Yesterday, Mr.. Rufus Beavers,
prominent citizen of Chatham county,
was coming in town, and while on
Main street his mule, attached to one
horse wagon, became frightened at a
bicycle, turned suddenly around and
threw Mr.. Beavers out of the wagon.
He fell on his head and was quite pain
fully injured. He received several
bruises about the head, and for time
was right much dazed. Mr.. Geo. NJ.
Harden, who was passing at the time,
lifted him In his buggy and brought
him to Heartt & Hackney's drugstore,
where DR.. n. A. johnson looked after
his wounds. While the Doctor thought
he was pretty badly shocked, he did
not think his wounds were dangerous.
When last heard from he had rallied,
and it was thought he would soon be
himself again.
