IL wse n Great Honor 90 the state whss
Ksnso,n rresidsd Over the senate.
For TIE Caucasianl
FAYETTEVILLE, n. c.. May 8. SO
Sometime in 1893 Senator Ransom
was called upon by the Vice-Presi-
dent one day TO preside over the
Senate. Every Democratic paper in
the State not only printed the fact,
but commented on IL editorially ~
a great honor 10 the State. Last
week the Vice-President called upon
Senator Butler TO preside over the
Senate, but the Democratic papers
barely mentioned the fact. Senator
Butler is the first Peoples Party
Senator to be thus honored, and, be-
sides, he is the youngest Senator in
the body. liz IL WAS . matter Of such
marked honor for Ransom, who was
over seventy years old, and who had
been in the Senate for over twenty
years, to be called upon 10 preside
over the Senate, was il not still more
marked in the case of Senator But
leri Bat this is simply . sample Of
the unfair methods Of the machine
party papers. When they canno;
find something TO abuse Senator Bat
Ter about, they try 10 ignore him,
but in spite Of this he grows ia
strength and popularity with the
people each day.

LOOK ON THIS

ton. held last week at Maxton for
the purpose OF nominating Il candi-
date for Congress, there were most
disgraeeful scenes and any number
OF fights.
The Charlotte Observer gives the
following in its account of the pro-
ceedings.
Amidst the yells tall, lean, lank,
hungry looking fellow with scanty
beard and dishevelled hair, wearing
a cut-a-way coat, shirt and no collar,
large feet and small pants, stepped
forth. His voice was like a trum-
pet. His long arm waved to and
fro, u. and down, and the house be-
gan to roar with laughter. Then
came upon the stand character
well known to Charlotte. His name
is Rich Lily-a long-legged, long
armed, thin, spare-built, coal black
negro, about % years old. Rich
Lilly had had his share of mountain
dew, and was nimble and quick.
The hall roared, but a cry came:
Il will give any man So that will
take that id country scoundrel
(Covington) off the STAGE 1t is al
legged that young D. B. Sutton, of
Wilmington, was the gentleman who
made the offer. No sooner was the
sentence out than did a big black,
heavy-set colored fellow with a Van
Dyke beard step forward to leg Gov
ington, but 10! Was Rich Lily
asleep? Just as the big. burly fell
low stepped to the stage Rich Lilly
planted fist in his face, aud spread
him upon the seat. At this point
Rich Lilly came back and asked the
reporter: Didn't l act like g. dele
gate?" and the reporter told him
Eyes" The crowd howled and Gov
ington continued to shout. He said:
"You may yell. but I'm going to
speak, d-n you" and 80 he did
Rich Lilly was still with him.
Dan Morrison then rushed, hands
on-hips, to big Bill Sutton: of Bladen,
and jerked Sutton's collar off. Then
the fight was general. DR.. Norment
had started upon the stage and some
friend or enemy had given him a
shove, and landed him across bench
His friends carried him out of the
mob.
Rich Lily was not at ease during
this time. He had already reported
three knock downs and a bloody
nose. After each bout he made a
trip around to the reporter with his
interrogatory: "Didn't | do him
right?" and the reporter invariably
expressed his highest appreciation oi
Rich and his delegate-like actions
But about this time things began to
look pretty bloody. The writer
looked first in the ante-room which
was open at his right and then at the
fight. Only two ways to escape were
left. Either out the two story win
dow to the ground or leap over th'
crowd around the rim of the stage
The latter was the hardest but the
safest way.He was weighing the two
ways when he looked around ant
saw a great big delegate reach dowl
to his shoe mouth and draw out ,
razor and throw 1t open. No longe
was the question Of escape debat
able. At one jump the crowd wa
over ridden and the reporter gone
AS he swung III the air his eyes fel
back and saw several pistols slowl
moving around in the crowd. Sheri1
Smith had planted man blow b
this time, and yells of "Take 'er
out" were heard.
Now, can any Intelligent man (
tions know what they are trying to
of any man who has home, count
} them, and then answer the question
