MR. EDITOR:-The above was clipped
from The Daily Angus, a Democratic
newspaper printed in Gold3boro, July
%, 1896. And it voices the sentiments
of every leading Democrat in North
Carolina, and yet they are trying to
fuse with that ~disgraceful gang, not
only in the State, but in the counties
offering everything in the counties
down here for the Legislature. Well,
Of course they want the legislature,
and every sane man knows for what.
Now, Mr.. Editor. it just seems to Us
that every man who votes a Demo-
cratic ticket, or any part Of it in North
Carolina this year indirectly indOrses
fraud, corruption and d~ebauchery at
the ballot box and old Wayne county
has already been tfflicted with it too
much to fuse with such a gang on any
terms and we think this will voice
the sentiments Of all good and true
Pops in Eastern North Carolina-we
are for free silver from principle, not
for party ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF for
the purp )se of asking for another
chance to skin and Cypress the labor
ing classes. Democrats say they are
for free silver. You can hardly hear
any thing from them 10 but free sill
yer Is to 1. They do not only talk it
but have signs on silver painted bug
gies and free silver Is to 1 OF course
this is to ride into office for another
chance Well it Ist makes US SICK
in the craw at this late hour, and gives
rs a pain across the misery to hear
Democrats crying at every breath
free silver with such a silver record as
they have behind them, and now ask
ing for another chance. It is just a
wonder to US that the brains OF the
Goddess Of Liberty vas not crushed
out and the stuff g mashed out Of the
American eagle when nearly al OF the
Democracy Of this nation fell fat at
on the silver dollar. What q fall
for another chance to slip off a stolen
platform. My, my, my, give us an
other chance on a new platform, and
now they are in favor Of the enactment
of an honest election law; we'll they
ought to be when they just think of
Goldsboro Township, New Hope Tally
sheet, Dudley box, Stormy Creek box,
in this county in 1924 Now, Mr..
Editor, 'spcse we give them another
chance like we did in 1894

The Shepherd BOYS Prayer.

The little lad was keeping his sheep
one Sunday morning. The bells were
ringing for church, and the people were
going over the fields when the little
fellow began to think that he would
like to pray to God. BIT what could
he say, for he had learned any
prayers? So he kneiG down and com
menced the alphabet-A, B, @, and 50
on to- A gentleman, happening to
pass on the other side of the hedge
heard the lads voice, and looking
through the bushes, saw the little fel
low kneeling with folded hands and
closed eyes, saying, "a, B, O."
What are you doing, my little
man?"
The lad looked up. please, sir I
was praying"
But what we're you say ing your let
tiers for?'
why, } didn't know any prayer,
only I felt that I wanted God to take
care Of me and help me to take care Of
the sheep; so 1 thought that if I said
ell I knew He would put it together and
spell all I want"
Bless your heart, ny little man, He
will; He will; He will. When the
heart speaks right the lips can't say
wrong "-Selected.

MAJOR M,KINLEY FATIGUED.
He Will Seek Rest in the Quaint Com
 munity of Zoar,

munity of Noar.
 Canton, O., Sept. 6.--Major Mckinley shook hands with more than 5000 citi- zens of Pennsylvania yesterday and he is somewhat fatigued to-day and more determined than ever to go to Zoar for few days rest this week. He has been working very hard since his nomination and from the latter part of this week up to the very day of the election he expects to be occupied all the while and to have no time for recreation. Zoar Is quiet and quaint religious community, where the people own the property in common. There is a pleasant small hotel there which will be placed at the disposal of Major Mckinley. Major Mckinley does not expect to remain longer than two or three days in Zoar.
 Delegations are coming in large num- bers from all parts of the country and no day goes by without bringing let ters of inquiry respecting dates for proposed visits.
 Major Mckinley said to-day he was always exceedingly glad to have dele gations come to Canton to see him, but 1t would be more convenient, In many ways, if it could be arranged to have not more than two parties of visitors arrive the same day. Delegations which contemplate coming to Canton should try to arrange the time of their coming so as not to bring visitors from too many places here on the same day. This can be done by telegraphing and ascertaining what dates are open.
 Tuesday the editors of Ohio hold the annual meeting of their association in Canton. They are to be addressed | by Charles Emory Smith and other editors. They will also cali upon Ma
 jor Mckinley. and he will make a speech.
 Major Mckinley attended communion service at the Methodist church this morning and remained at home all the ! afternoon and evening, foregoing his customary drive. Hsi nieces and some of their young friends who have musi- cal talent dropped in early in the even- ing in an informal manner and sang number of hymns. The major is very fond of sacred music when 1t is well rendered. Miss Ruby of London, a professional singer, and Miss Dono- van, who has just returned from long course of study in Paris, contributed | to the musical effect.
 1 Major Mckinley received 8 large number of telegrams to-day. They come from all parts of the country and | indicate great activity among repub- | licans and Mckinley democrats.

SOUTH CAROLTN1 SENSATION.
Republican Candidate for Governor Makes
 Startling Disclosures.


 Columbia, S. C., Sept. 6.-One of the biggest scandals that has occurred since the days of reconstruction in South Carolina was sprung last night by Governor Evans. If his statement is correct the dispensation system seems to have been gold mine to those in charge of it. Governor Evans has been in possession of the informa- ton he has given out for a long time. It appears that the governors exposure was due to the fact that he had been goaded for not denying charge made on the stump in his campaign for the senate that he had said that Tillman had lined his pockets with liquor re- bates. This thing had acted so strong ly upon the former friends of Evans and Tillman that defeat threatened the former in the race for the senate The election comes off Friday. Evans held off until this morning, when he came out with denial.
 He explains that he held back the de- nial upon bad advice, and then proceeds to make his revelations. Commissioner Nilsson and the commissioners son, an official court stenographer, are the ob- jects of his fire. The governor asserts that presents were sent Nilsson by whiskey houses and that Mixson's son also accepted valuable presents. He states that when this was first discov- cred he gave Nilsson warning.
 Afterwards MT. Scruggs, the book keeper, informed the governor that from letters he had opened in Mixson's ab- sence and other suspicious circum- stances he was satisfied Mixson was dealing with whiskey houses exclusive ly and was obtaining rebates in consid- eration thereof.
 The governor tells of his discovery that Mixson was paying higher prices to one house than other houses offered the goods for. MT. Nilsson claimed he was innocent. The governor says that he had sympathy for the Mixsons and told Mixson, ST., that the boy had been overreached by the whiskey dealers. The governor determined, in the ab- sense of proof, to drop the matter, but to take away from him any chance of temptation, and recommended to the legislature that the control be taken from his hands and from the hands of state house officers and placed in the hands oe board elected by the gen. eral assembly,
 Tonight Commissioner Mixson and his son make statements The latter acknowledges that he collected for his brother $740 in whiskey rebates from the Live Oak Distilling company but says that their father knew nothing of it.
 Colonel Mixson accuses the governors brother of a disposition to enter into the business of which his son is accus- ed and declares that several of the gov ernor's statements are false. Mixson also intimates that the governor im- properly ran up an expense account of $150 against the dispensary.

ARKANSAS sPEiKs TO-DAY.
Republican Gains Predicted, but State
 Will be Democratic.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. G.-The state campaign closed here last night. The election will take place tomorrow. For four weeks the entire state has been flooded with speakers, assigned by the democratic and republican state com- mittees The popuiistic candidate for governor did not make canvass or take part in the campaign. Two years ago the following vote was cast for governor:
 Clarke, dem, 74So9; Remmel, rep, 260S5; Barker, pop, 24,541.
 Remmeps vote this year will be in- creased, while that of Colonel Files, the populistic candidate, will fall several thousand short of that received by Barker The total vote cast in 1894 was 126,9S6 No doubt it will reach at least 150,00o next Monday The records in the state auditors office show that 203,- GOO poll-tax receipts are held through out the state
 The democratic committee claims that Colonel Jones will receive over 100, ,000 votes at Mondays election, or 80 900 majority over both opponents. This is believed to be an extravagant claim ~The republican candidate is con- fident of increasing his vote over 1894 by at least 10000. Colonel Files will hardly poll 15,000 votes.

CONGREGATION 4IRO USED.
Rev. Thomas Dixon Urges the Support of
 McKinleN and Hobart.

New York, Sept. 6.-There was con- siderable excitement at the Academy of Music this morning while the Rev Thomas Dixon, jr., was delivering 8 sermon on "The Political Crisis. ]" Many persons congregated took offence at MT Dixon's remarks condemning Candidate Bryan and his followers and left the hall. Many others who did not agree with the preachers remarks re- mained and gave vent toetheir displeas- ure by hissing and shouting That's false,'' "Yo our are wrong, Liar"
 T am going to vote for Bryan"
 You do not know what you are talk ing about"
 Apparently more than two-thirds of the large congregation, however, en- dorsed MT. Dixon's views with ap- plause. MT. Dixon strongly supported Major Mckinley and gold. He declar- ed that it was the duty of every patri- otic citizen to support the republican candidates.

 a Compatriot.

UaDhel Sollettes h NeapolltanS SUaDDeu Dy
 Conpatriot.
 Providence, Sept. 6.-Gabriel Collette, Neapolitan, forty-five years old, was murdered about o'clock tonight in front of his boarding house in the man. ufacturing village of Natick, nine miles from this city. The victim had his throat cut across, almost from ear to ear and the head being nearly severed from the body. Early in the afternoon Collette together with a party of his countrymen attended the christening of his brother-in-law's child. A feast followed the event and the party drank considerably.
 At 7:3O Gabriel in company with his brother-in-law, Paul Connelli, and another man, walked from the village to the victims boarding house. Just before they reached the place Gabriel's throat was cut. It seems that the two men had some words concerning the treatment of Pauls sister, who is Gab- riel's wife. Last night Collette beat the woman badly, and this is said to have aroused the ire of her brother. Late this evening the neighborhood was dil- igently searched by local constables, who could not find the alleged murder was committed was given to another Italian, who threw it in an outhouse It will be searched for tomorrow.

TWO rR1MPS HANGED.
Minnesota Mob Takes the Law Into It's
 Own Hands.

Own Hands.
 Glencoe, Mnn., Sept. 6.-At twenty minutes after one this morning Charles Cingmars and Dorman Musgrove who murdered Sheriff Rogers in June were hanged to the railroad bridge, less than quarter of a mile out of town The deed was done by one hundred cit izens of Mcleod county, who thus ex- pressed their disapproval of yesterdays verdict that Musgrove be confined to the state prison for life instead of being sent to the galloWs. Cingmars and Musgrave, two tramps, were travelling northward to the wheat fields of North Dakota. A few miles below here they accosted a farmer, took possession of his team and drove into town. On the way up they beat him for trying to handle his own team. The farmer reported them to the off, cers of Glencoe and a warrant was is sued for the arrest of, the men, who had disappeared. Sheriff Rogers took the papers and started in pursuit of the desperadoes. On the evening of June 26 he overlook the men five miles south of Glencoe and said to them, Boys, want you to go back to Glencoe with me"
 Well, we don't have to- said Mus grove, as he brought a Winchester rifle to his shoulder Before Sheriff Rogers could say a word the tramp began fir ing on him and he fell his body pierced by five bullets. Twenty-four hours lat CT the tramps were captured by posse of 300 men in a neighboring county and taken to Glencoe. The jail was sur rounded by several hundred men and a lynching would have occurred but for the action of Governor Clough, who sent a company of militia from St. Paul just as the hanging was about to come off.
 The prisoners were taken to St. Paul and put in jail there. The trial of the two men opened here about two weeks ago with w w. Erwin the well known St. Paul lawyer, for the defense. Er win moved for separate trials and the case of Musgrove was taken up first. The trial closed Thursday and yer dict of first degree was returned. The jury was out eight hours This incens- ed large portion of the community. The mob came quietly upon the jail, overpowered the turnkey and guards and by means of a sledge hammer soon had custody of the men within. Mrs. Cingmars, mother of one of the men, has been in this city for the last two weeks attending the trial, She knew nothing of the occurrence until 6:3O this anorning, and when she heard of it her grief was pitiable.
