REPUBLICANS MEET
the Opera House and are Addressed By
Geo. III. White.


Geo. ri. White.
For the past two or three weeks
the report had been sent out
among the colored people of the
county by the few white Republi-
can leaders in this city that Geo.
III. White, the mulatto nominee
of the. Republican party for Con
gress from this district, would adj
dress the worshippers of the gol-
den calf in this city Monday. The
day. has arrived as usual and SO
did White, but very few of the
horny handed sons of Ham ar
rived at the Opera House at the
appointed time to listen to the add
dress.
A few minutes after - O'Clock
when the speaker marched out on
the stage, of the opera house there
were seated at his left and right
Frank Dobson who introducen
the speaker and two other
white men and there were about
seventy five negroes occupying the
opera chairs in front. John r.
Smith dropped in an hour or SO at
terward-and took a seat near the
door, but he soon fell asleep I'M
der the eloquence of the African
orator and never walked until the
speaking was over. Occasionally
the heavy, solitary foot falls of
some old gray-headed darkey,
who had been met on the street
by some of the campaign club
runners and enticed to enter,
were heard in the lobby as he was
marching in.
The speaker first mentioned
several exaggerated figures about
the relative. voting strength of
each political party in this dis
trict and then tried to say some
nice things about the Populist
party. On this point be was I'M
able to associate the two parties
together on account of their hav-
ing 10 interests in common and he
finally admitted to the audience
that he did not know what to say.
In the confused condition to
which he had arrived he suddenly
recollected some old stale Republi
can campaign jokes and showed
them off on his audience. When
through with these he called the
old slavery question to his rescue
and for an hour OF SO he delivered
a lilliputian harangue hat made
his hearers tired and sleepy. When
he could think of nothing else he
urged that the colored people
everywhere vote the Republican
ticket without assigning any rea-
son for SO doing. His utterancs
throughout were vindictive and
full of prejudice and his ap-
peals to his colored brethren
we're to the effect that
Conscience is a word that towards
use,
Let our swords be our conscience"

DEMOCRATIC HEADQUAR-
TIERS.

Hon Clark Howell Talks of the
Situation in Georgia and North
Carolina.
Washington, September o.
Hon. Clark Howell, Of Atlanta,
arrived in town to-day and pro-
ceeded to Democratic headquar-
tiers at an early hour, where he
permanently took the place of
Congressman Richardson, as the
representative here of the Dem
ocratic National Committee.
Mr.. Howard received a number
of callers during the day and ex~
amined a large pile of mail. He
said the situation in Georgia was
such as to Indicate a tremendous
majority for Bryan. In the
State election to be held il Octo-
Der the Democrats would win by
d greatly increased majority. He
believed that there was no seri-
Gus trouble in any Southern
State and that the most doubtful
we're North Carolina and KEN
lucky. AS to Kentucky, the
Democratic leaders in that State
we're confident of victory and
were unanimous in the opinion
that the nomination Of Palmer
for President by the 1ndiauapo>
lis gold convention would help
rather than injure Bryan's
chances, on account Of Palmer's
record as military Governor after
the war. AS to North Carolina,
a fusion of the silver vote of the
State would insure it for Mr..
Bryan by so, 900 majority. The
only obstacle in the way was the
| failure of the Democrats and Po-
pulists to come to terms. but he
believed that a satisfactory set>
Element would yet be reacLei.
With three electoral tickets in
the field he believed Mr.. Bryan
would carry the State by a de-
cided majority.
Mr., Howell counts confidently
upon a solid South, and says
that there is no reason to fear
that Bryan will not carry all the
far Western States, in every one
of which fusion had already been
arranged.
AS to fusion in the Southern
States, but little had been done
as yet, though he thought that
in time the Democrats and Popu
lists would get together in most
of them on a common electoral
ticket.
The second Quadrennial Con-
vention of the National Associa-
ton of Democratic Clubs, to meet
at St. Louis, has been postponed
from Wednesday, Septembe
Both, to Saturday, October 3rd,
to assure the presence of Mr..
Bryan, who has notified Presi-
dent Black that he would attend
the convention if the date coulo
be changed. 1t is asserted as
probable that Mr.. Sewall, the
Democatic candidate for Vice
President, will be there, bul
doubts are expressed on the sub
juct.

BURGLAR HIT A LIVE WIRE
He Was Escaping From a Man
With a Gun and Jumped through
Nav Die.

Homestead, Sept. 6.-At two
O'Clock this morning Ida, the 16-
year old daughter of Photographer
William Marsh, of Sixth avenue.
awoke and found a negro bending
over her. She screamed and the
man grabbed her by the throat, Her
father rushed into the room -four
lshing a revolver. When the ne
gro saw him he jumped through a
second story window to the
ground.
AS he fell his foot touched a
live wire, which knocked him in
sensible, and almost killed him.
When picked up both arms and
one leg we're broken, his face
was bruised and his head cut.
In the meantime another Negro
was discovered in the rear of the
house. He was captured and
identified as Henry Arlington.
He said the injured man was
Isaac Mills.
BY this time a large crowd of
Carnegie mill workers had been
attracted to the scene. There
were cries to 'tlynch .them."
One man started home for a
rope. Before he returned the ne
groes were hurried off to the
lookup. Milla was still insensi
BILE and had to be carried. Before
the officers had reached the lookup
there was a wild bowling mob be
hind him. Not since the days of the
great riots was there such excite
ment in the town.
Later James johnson, Andrew
Archer and General jackson Bell
were arrested. Bell is a small
boy, who says the men put him
through a little window to open
the door for them.

which would leave me very weak and
faint, difficult to get my breath. These
spells came oftener and more severe. I
did not receive any lasting benefit from

from q trial of Hoods Sarsaparilla, that I
took several bottles and mean to always

The difference between Pills
and Simmons Liver Regulator is
just this: Pills don't go down
very easily with most people,
and you feel them afterwards.
While Simmons Liver Regulator
in liquid or powder is pleasant
to take, and the only feeling that
you have afterwards is the great
relief that it gives from Consti-
patton, Biliousness, Sick Heads
ache and Dyspepsia. It is a mild
laxative and q tonic.

BELLS
Been Ringing for Cotton Factory
Operatives.

Have Been Ringing for Cotton Factory
Daily Argus last Monday.
Since the Wayne Cotton Mill
commenced operation a few
months ago there has been quite
an addition to the population OF
the Northern end of Goldsboro.
Several new cottages have been
builtin that part of the city and
hese are now all occupied by
Operatives from several cotton
factory towns throughout the
State. A majority of these
Operatives are girls and 1t is
reasonable to suppose that
among SO many there would be
some that could be called good
looking.
Contrary to the usual sallow,
pale looks of the ordinary cotton
factory girls, a greater part of
those working IN the Wayne Cot
ton Mill have sparkling eyes aud
rosy cheeks. and it is a matter of
40 great surprise that Master
Cupid has pierced the hearts of
several of the gallant youths in
the neighborhood with his quiv-
|ering arrows.
Two weeks ago yesterday. Mr..
w. c.. Grady, a you1g man of
this county who had made FREE
|quert visits to the factory and
to Factory Hill." procured the
ser vices of Justice D. J. Broad
hurst and went to the home of
Miss Minnie Strickland and had
words said to 10th of them
in the presence of a few wit
nesses that made them man and
wife. He took his bellows bride
that afternoon away from her
daily drudge and the constant
roar of the cotton spindle and
carried her to his quiet country
cabin where they could enjoy I'M
molested their "connubial love-
and domestic happiness.
This quiet little marriage was
|only a forecast of what was to
come. For several days past the
operatives in the cotton mill had
noticed the loving 81; les that
pretty little Is year old Celia
Middleton had been casting at
Jim" Robinson and they had
noticed that he always accoms
panied her to the mill and to her
home at night, but no one was
really prepared for or had
thought seriously of the scene
that followed the arrival of JUS
tice Broadhurst at Factory
Town" yesterday afternoon. In
three minutes after he alighted
from the city hack" r. J.. Robin
son and Celia Waddelton had been
proclaimed man and wife. "'for
better or for worse" Celia's
mother was away from home at
the time, but when she arrived
later in the Afternoon the resi-
dents in the cottages for quite a
distance knew, all about it. She
went after her daughter who had
gone to live at the boarding
house with her young husband.
She got Celia by the hand and
carried her back home, protest.
ing all the way against the mar
rage and vowlng that she should
never leave her. The neighbors
|interceded and finally persuaded
the old lady to let her daughter
go and live with the man
of her choice. When the
Operatives reported for duty al
the cotton mill this morning Celia
and Jim" were at their places
looking happy and contented.

MARTYR SATTERFIELD'S BOOM

S. p. Satterfeld, the legislative clerk
Wake county Superior Court of gross
and unlawful negligence in office and
was fined $3.50 for the offense, is the
latest fusionist to pose as "A martyr,
This martyr business has been little
over done in the tents of fusion, and it
makes the rank and file Of all parties
just a trifie tired.
Satterfield, it is understood has
written letters to his friends all
through the State, asking them to
boom him for State Auditor. lie is the
only genuine martyr now in the field,
and he is understood to have applied
for a copyright on himself.
He wants to ride into the Auditor
ship as 0tho Wilson foated into the
Railroad Commission. But his wish
will hardly be gratified, for Satter-
field is not picturesque enough to at
tract the attention of the newspaper
wits. He is simply a convicted offend
er in commonplace black suit, and
martyrdom would fit him about as well
as big sleeves fit pump handle.
n prominent Democrat and we'll
known Republican were discussing
Satterfield's self-made boomlet.
The Democrat quietly asked the limb
of fusion: In your party does the com
mission of a crime against the law
making power of the State peculiarly
fit the criminal for high Office under
the State?'
An the fusionist answered not.
