NEGRO DRIVER FATALLY HURT
Ribs Broken and one of Them Run
Through His Lung.

Ribs Broken and one Of Them Run
Through His Lung.
With three broken ribs, one of which
passed through his lung, Lewis Miller, an
old colored man, is lying at the point of
death in Rex Hospital.
He cannot live. The air that is taken
into the injured lung passes out of it
and puffs up the skin on his breast. It is
only a question of time when the other
lung will get tired doing double duty in
supplying the blood with oxygen. Then
will come the end.
In addition to this there are other in
ternal injuries. They were caused by
an accident yesterday afternoon near the
city. Miller drives lumber wagon for
Mr.. John A. Mills. Yesterday afternoon
as his wagon was coming down a hill
the coupling poleb roke, precipitating
Miller to the ground. The wheel passed
over his breast crushing it and breaking
three ribs, one of which stuck through a
lung.
He was taken to the hospital and last
night at IL O'clock was conscious and
doing as well as could be expected,
though he was not expected to live. He
is about 70 years old.

RELEASING CUBAN TOBACCO.
Each Case for Export is Being Heard
Upon Its Own Merits.

Washington, Aug. 13.-So far as is
known at the State department there has
been no general order issued by the
Spanish government for the release Of all
of the tobacco held in CHba for export
to the United States, under the prohibi-
tory rule of Captain General Weyler is
sued last year. Each case is being treat
ed on its merits. and the only general
order issued relates to the evidence that
must be produced by the American own
er of the tobacco, such as proof that the
contracts for delivery of the tobacco were
actually made prior to the issue of the
prOhibitory rule; dates of the various
steps in the transaction, and explana-
tions of the reasons why the tobacco had
not been shipped before. In some cases
there has been considerable delay in Sc
curing the release of the tobacco owing
to the fact that this evidence has been
sent to Madrid instead of to Havana,
but generally it is said the Spanish gov
ernment is treating the applications with
proper attention.

AN ADDRESS TO ALL |PoPULIsrs

Milton Burke, Chairman of the National
Organization Committees Exhorts his
Party Men not to Ease With Either
of the Old Parties.
st. Louis, Mo-, Aug< ia special to
the Republic from Dallas says:
Milton Burke, who at the national con-
ference of Populists at Nashville, Tenn,
July 4, was appointed chairman Of the
ma tional organization committee created
at the conference to-day issued a lengthy
address to the Populists of the United
States.
He reviews the origin and organiza-
ton OF the party, naming the abuses
which led dissatisfied elements OF the
old parties to create new one and, COM
ing to personal conditions, declares that
1.-The trusts, the monopolies, the corpora
tions, the moneyed interests of the coun-
try, are organized. Their strength is
concentrated into the action of one man;
hence their power, their success. If the
Peoples party would hope to succeed,
they must concentrate their strength.
We are confronted to-day by obstacles
and enemies within and without"
After reviewing the actions of the CEN
ventions at Omaha and st. Louis and de-
ploring the events Of 1896, the address
continues: Gas chairman OF your or
ganization committee, | urge every Pop
ulist, everywhere to avoid, repudiate and
reject all fusion or alliance with the
Democratic or the Republican party. Re
pei every overture of these enemies to the
common people. I suggest that through
out the entire country wherever there
are two or more Populists in a ward,
precinct or township they go to work at
once, persistently, to perfect local or
ganization in their midst. Press the
work until you shall have secured a COM
pact organization in every county in your
State. If your State chairman is not in
sympathy with the policy declared at
Nashville you should select one who is
as soon as practical. In those States
where the State chairman and national
executive committeeman are in harmony
with the policy declared at Nashville, the
national organization committeeman will
aid them in every way possible in
strengthening the party organization. In
this way an enthusiasm can be develop
ed that will know no defeat, no surren-
der. Populists Of that ancestry which
founded this government; that bequeath-
ed to you personal liberty; preserve and
perpetuate it by the peaceful means of
the ballot"

CIGARETTE STAMPS READY.

Washington, Aug. 13.-It is stated at
the internal revenue bureau that there
will be no further delay in the delivery
of all cigarette and cigar stamps that
may be ordered. A large quantity were
shipped to New York yesterday and at
present there are no acquisitions unfill-
ed. The delay in measure was caused
by the breaking of one of the plates.
The fact too, that the new law went
into immediate effect upon its passage
precipitated vast amount of work on
the bureau of engraving and printing,
but the congestion is now relieved and all
orders will be filled at once.

WASHINGTON'S TOBACCO MART
Everything Auspicious for a Great Sea-
son-New Methodist Church-Good
Crops and Fine Business Prospects.

Washington, N. c., Aug. 13-(Special.)
The tobacco market was opened here
on the 9TH. About 1,600 pounds of the
weed were sold and prices satisfactory.
The new warehouse is completed and
selling tobacco. There are quite number
of buyers here from other sections after
the new bright golden weed brought to
this market, some of whom are s. A.
Gravely and w. Il. Fuller, of Rocky
Mount; J. 7. Lee, Durham; w. w. Ber-
nard, of Greenville, Tenn; J. G. Nc
Adams and Robert Walters, Danville,
Va. J. II. Carter, of Ashville, \. c., is
the auctioneer for both warehouses. Add
to these buyers from other sections that
are here for the season the regular resi-
dent buyers of Washington, and it makes
a strong market, and add to this the ad-
vantages of shipping facilities, both by
rail and water, and it is enough to insure
to those who sell tobacco on this market
that they will get at least as much, if not
more, for their tobacco here as on any
other market in eastern Carolina.
The Methodists here are preparing to
build new handsome church on the
same location where their church now
stands.
There was not much interest shown
here in regard to voting for the special
school tax. l learn that not more than
! 300 votes were cast in this town, with a
| big majority against the law.

Throughout Beaufort county the crops are

yet we are not so sure but in the
long run even this section is far
better off than if J.. J. Hill had
never been. We should be- fair
even to our opponents, especially
when they possess such eminent

does j. J. Hill. At any rate it
does not help matters, or lower

Mr.. Hill.
If the people want lower rates
all they have to do is to elect a
legislature that will give it to
them. The people themselves,
and not Mr.. Hill, are to blame
for the scale of transportation
rates.
Evidently the people of North
western Minnesota approves of
Mr.. Hills taxgathering, as every
two years they return IL good
majority of his men to the legis-
lature. And if the farmers are
satisfied I and you can be for all
that we patronize the road.
We notice every now and then
a fearful howl going up against
the so-calied extortion OF Mr..
Hill from politicians, republicans
as we'll as populists, but we
notice that with very few except
ions they all concede Mr.. Hills
requests when they get where
they could do something for the
people. Hence we conclude that
mostof this nti-Hill braggadocio
is simply demogoguery. In our
opinion Mr.. Hill is a. gentleman

gogue and leg puller. We pops
can t afford to stand in line with
the latter whether inside or out.

tai. The upshot of the whole
thing is that in order get con-
fidence established, the repubfi-
can party should disband South,
the democratic party North, and
the Peoples Party everywhere.
In other words ordinary citizens
should cease to bother them
selves about the affairs of state
and allow the politicians in to run
things to suit themselves.
Now if this is so, if capital has

EX-COngressman Boon has the
following criticism in the Fergus
Falls Globe:
DR.. Johnson, in his Willmar Trib-
une, gives James j. Hill over a COL
umn of laudation, and among other
nice things, the doctor says of the
great Jim that he believes him to be
the first private individual in the
history of the world that has carried
through such a gigantic an undertake
ing as the Great Northern Transcon-
tinental railway without going bank
rupt.''
The doctor is mistaken as to JIM S
private character as a railway presi-
dent. James J. Hill is the self-cre-
ated master of all the territory through
which his lines pass, and of the peo-
pie inhabiting that territory, He is
exercising taxing power more potent,
more1 exacting, more unerring in it's
results than that welded by any of the
crowned heads, past or present. Gen.
eral Jim has acted on the military
maxims of foraging on the enemy.
He has collected his wealth from the
people using his lines, and some OF
the plumber he has used in extending
| his lines. That is the reason "Jim
HE'LL" as the late Charles Canning
used to call him, has not gone bank.
rupt.
Another phenomenon connected with
the Great Northern, or Jim Hill's
lines, is that Hill has grown rich in
about the proportion that those using
his lines have become poor.
1t is said that the bonds and stocks
of the road have been foated among
members of a certain church demon
nation. If that is true it explains
why none of it is on the market.
| And yet, Brother Boon, if Jim
Hill is all that you say he is-a
more potent tax-gatherer than
any crowned heads, past or pres
ent-and self-created at that, and
we do not dispute your assertion,
then our laudation of Mr.. Hill as
a business man is we'll deserved.
10 be sure j. j. Hill has not GRE
ated his wealth, but only taken
advantage of an opportunity in
this new country. We do not
blame Mr.. Hill at all for that, for
you or I would have done the
same thing if we had had the
opportunity and brain enough to
profit by it. We, ourselves, have
Thought that Mr.. Hill has taxed
