NINE MET A wArERY GRAVE
Remarkable sinking of the Fishing
Schooner Campbell.

New York, April lS.-A special TO The
Press from New Bedford, Mass. says:
Nine Gloucester fishermen were lost OFF
Long island on Friday night, while the
fishing schooner G. w. Campbell of Glou
cester was sunk In squat. The seven
survivors arrived here tonight to tell
the story. They were brought into port
by the Norman from the schooner which
picked them up after they had spent m
entire night and day in an open boat with
out food. The names of those lost are:
Captain Robert Smith.
John Mcclure.
Frank Sylvia.
Thomas Rogers.
George Ella.
William McAllister.
William Corey.
George Graham.
Charles Doherty
The sinking of the Campbell was ie-
markable in several respects. The fatal
squall was one of the most sudden and
terrific in the memory of the survivors.
1t was all over in about minute. 1t
happened so quickly and there was so lit
tie warning that there was no time to
avert the calamity or provide for es-
cape. AS 1t was. 1t seems remarkable
that there was a single survivor.
The escape seemed but a trick of fate.
When the squall struck her the vessel
careened under the terrible blow and all
realized that their lives were In danger.
Seven of the sixteen sailors quickly clam
bored up the masts. No sooner had they
done so than a second and far more pow
erful gust of wind seized the craft and
seemed to lift 1t bodily out of the sea-
Then, as If in a mighty grasp, the vessel
was wrenched and given q sudden twist
with such violence that the masts were
snapped off even with the deck like tooth
picks and were hurled far away from
the reach of the vortex made by the
ship as she fell back into the water and
sank like piece of lead.
This is the story as told by the sur
vivors. They left New York at o'clock
Friday night and the squat struck them
soon afterward. There was not the slight
est warning. The wind was blowing only
about two knots and everything seemed
favorable for a smooth trip. After the
squal had subsidized the moon came out
and by its light the seven survivors, who
still chung to the masts in spite of the
awful shock of being thrown through
the air and striking the water as they
did were able to find a dory, in which
they climbed after bailing it out. All
night long and all the next day they
drifted helpessly about the sound with.
out food or water. Then they were picked
up by the schooner Norman and later
were transferred to the tug Gladiator,
which brought them to this port

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March ~. III.
T. Taubeneck, chairman Of the
National Executive committee of
the peoples party, who has just
returned from the Hutchinson, Kan
sas, convention, said in an inter-
view:
Il believe we will carry next
fall all the territories and a major
ity Of the states Of the south and
west. including Nebraska and the
Dakotas, and I believe Iowa.
I'VE have a good fighting
chance in Missouri, and are Ger
tain Of sweeping Texas and will
carry every congressional district
in the latter state, with the posi-
BILE exception of three.
In the south we will carry
without question, Alabama, Geor-
gia and South and North Carroll
ma. If the union offorces between
the silver advocates and ourselves
is as harmonious as everything
now indicates, we expect to cap
ture all the states South Of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers, with the
possible exception Of West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. where the fight will be
between us and the republicans.
This would give the republicans
sixteen states east OF the Missis,

The logic OF events go to-
show that manufacturing is a
powerful factor in the politics
of this country--that the manu-
featuring states, looking to in
dividual preservation, have a
trend to protective legislation,
and that they naturally run
with the high tariff political
element
IF this be true, and uncontro,
vertible facts show that it is,
the question comes home to us
here in North Carolina as to
what will be the states political
utilization a few years hence,
when our chief interest will be
centeredin manufacturing, now
rapidly increasing all over the
state and in numerous fabrics?
From the suhjoined extract
from tile Wilmington Messenger
and the pen of the most his
torically correct newspaper man
in North Carolina, DR.. t. b.
KIngsbury. an idea can be
formed how the Idle capital Of
the east will seek paying invest
ment here, till the sound of the
shuttle will be heard in every
hamlet manufacturing our
own product, and giving en-
ployment to thousand of our
poor but respectable white wo.
men and girls, some of whom are
now practically unable to earn
an honest livelihood.
The Messenger says: "The
business will surely continue to
grow in North Carolina at a
great rate if profits averaging
from 20 to 30 per cent can be
derived. Every town will go
into it except possibly Will
mlngton. who would not in.
vest in a business that shows
up not less than 20 per cent?
Then if mills make but 6, s, 10,
or IL per tent, they pay as well
or better than oriler invest
ments, and far better than rail.
roado pay, or than merchandise
ing often. There is no danger
of OVERRIDING milling in the
south. The mills are in the
midst of cotton fields and have
great advantages. The world
needs ST. much cotton goe DIS and
the south can make as cheap or
cheaper than New or Old Eng
land"
These remarks of DR.. Kings
bury were based upon the state
ment OF Judge Fillmore, who
took the round Of our cotton
factories, that none of the cot
ton mills visited by him in
North Carolina is paying less
than 90 per cent on the capital
invested and be found several
that are paying as much as 80
per cent" s

whispers that some of on.

tion, and that recognition at its
