not to vote the joint electoral tickets,
while Dunning went one step further
and closed his document by asking Popu-
lists to vote for Mckinley. Certainly
TINS was a queer way to defend Mr. Wat
son. Millions of copies of this Dunning
circular (as a substitute for Watson's
letter. were published and distributed by
the National Republican committee.
Dunning not only mailed them direct to
Populists all over the country, but sent
large bundles to Peoples party State
chairmen for distribution. One State chair
man informed the National committee
that Dunning sent him a large bundle of
these circulars with check for fifty
dollars, and asked him to distribute the
circulars. Whose fifty dollars was that?
Was it Dunning's? No. 1t was Repub-
lican campaign money.
From the above it is clearer now than
it was during the campaign that it was
the imperative duty of the National
committee not to publish document like
Watson's letter.

A TERRIBLE FIGHT.
A Mad Cat Seizes Girls Ankle, But is
Finally Killed-Patient Will go to New
York for Treatment.

(Newbern Journal)
A wild night and terrible scene was
that enacted at the home of Alma Simp-
son, on Friday night.
1t seems that Miss Simpson, who is a
young girl employed at the Clermont
knitting mills, in this city, arose during
the night and wanting a drink of water,
went down stairs to get one. In the
darkness, the girl accidentally stepped
upon the house cat, which became en-
ragged, and seized the girl by the ankle,
sinking it's teeth deep into the flesh.
The girls screams aroused her mother
who came to the rescue, and attempted
to pry the cats mouth open so as to re-
lease the girl from the animals teeth.
This proved impossible, and it was only
beaten the cats head so that it was kill
ed, that the girl was released.
Doctor r. S. Primrose was sent for
and rendered all assistance possible in
the girls case.
Saturday, it was determined that Miss
Simpson ought to be sent to Pasteur In
stitute, New York, for treatment, and a
purse was made up here to meet all ex-
penses.
Monday tomorrow morning the girl
will start for New York city, and her
case will receive the most careful and
thorough treatment.
The spinal cord Of the cat has been
secured, and will be sent to New York,
for examination, to sc what was the con-
dition of the animal at the time it at
tackled the girl.

s. A. l.. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT.

The Train Touches at Youngsville-The
Public Spirit of the System and the
Resources of the State Alike Exploit
ed, si"-
Youngsville, n. c., June 30.-(SpeciaD
The second exhibit of the Industrial
enterprise of the Seaboard Airline Rail-
road, was given at Youngsville yesterday
to an audience variously estimated at
from one thousand to two thousand per-
sons. To say that the attendance was
large and satisfactory does not half
express it. There was large turn out
of citizens of Franklin and the adjoin-
ing counties; quite number went by
rail from Raleigh, and other points.
The ladies brought an abundance of
well prepared meats, poultry, bread,
cakes, &c, and spread tables to which
every one was invited. All were provid-
ed for in the most liberal manner.
The Industrial train consist of a
Locomotive, several fiat cars, three Ex-
hibition cars, a Dining Room car, and a
Sleeper. A complete steam road making
outfit, including boiler and engine, rock
crusher roller, graders, shovels, carts,
&C., filled the open cars, large display
Of ploughs cultivators, and other farm
machinery, cane mill and evaporator.
The United States Cream Separator, (at
work.. Canning outfits of several kinds
also at work-complete outfits for evap-
Grating fruits, berries and vegetables
Cook stoves, and a large variety of labor
saving machines for painting and kitchen
use.
The road machines, also the ploughs
and cultivators are in operation, and add
| to the interest of the exhibit. One in
teresting item, was the effort to substi.
tute cheap, and easily constructed evap-
orator, to take the place of the splendid
Chattanooga machine. A young man
went to work ON it, and during the day
he had made from two boxes and a small
stove, an evaporator, that, although il
would not do as much work as the more
expensive machine, yet it demonstrated
the fact that with a reasonable amount
of enterprise and labor, no farmer need
see the berries, apples and peaches on
his farm go to waste for want of an
evaporator, in which his family can pre-
pare all the fruit, berries and vegetables
that they can consume during the entire
year.
During the day, the auulence were ad.
dressed by Mr.. Patrick, Col. John Rob.
inson, late Commissioner of Agriculture
| Prof. Massey, of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, and others, on prac-
| teal subjects.
This enterprise is an object lesson
| for the State, and must result in great
advantage to our farmers, and their fam
lilies. No one will regret seeing it result
also to the great profit and advantage
of the railroad that is expending so mucf
money and energy for the benefit of thu
persons on the line of the road.
| Raleigh was represented by Capt. n
w. West, Prof. w. f. Massey, Capt
G. NJ. Allen, Mr.. George Allen and 9th
ers.

'WHY THE SOUTH GETS SO FEW
IMMIGRANTS.
Crops Good--Newton to Have Electric
Lights--Large Wheat EIevator--A
Remarkable Sort of Prisoner.

Newton, n. c., June 30.-(SpeciaL)-
Your editorial in the News and Observer
of June Goth is very interesting reading,
and the truth of the assertions therein
made cannot be "gainsaid." The "black
man is here to stay. His presence keeps
away a class that we very much need
to help develop our great section of the
country. We have spent millions to edu-
cate these people, the only thanks we
get in return is they meet us at the polls
and vote against every proposition that
we vote for.
While it is true the negro prevents a
certain class of immigrants that we
would like to have come among us, yet
we must give him credit for keeping
away another class whose presence is not
at all desirable.
Some miners here from Colorado and
Montana declare that we are greatly
blessed in not having the low class of
foreigners who are now Overrunning the
towns and cities of the North and West,
men who neither fear God nor regard
man, having no respect for government
regular anarchists.
These miners do not hesitate to say
that the presence of the negro is what
prevents those people from coming and
they consider the negro a blessing when
contrasted with those people.
The farmers are through with har>
vesting and are now having the wheat
thrashed. Crops are good; corn and cot
ton looks well. We need rain very
much just at this time.
A granite monument is being erected
in our beautiful court square to the
of II Erxr nth
who fell fighting the Indians and Tories
in the Revolutionary war. These brave
men were attached to Col. Rutherford s
command. The unveiling is to take place
here July 2 and 3, 1897. A large crowd
is expected. We invite the News and
Observer man to be present.
George A. Warlick, our enterprising
roller mill man, has erected a large, com
with his mill. 1t will hold thousands of
bushels of wheat, and when wheat is once
put in there, it keeps it well stirred
Some say this is the only one in the
State. We have four roller mills within
a few miles of Newton.
An election was held in our city yes
terday to decide whether we should have
electric lights. 1t carried by a large
majority.
The merry go round" is here and will
remain until after court, which convene>
here next week. Gragg, convicted a,
Caldwell court for blowing up two men
with dynamite and sentenced to be hang,
ed, is here for safe keeping. He is a very
nice looking man. 1t is said he was jeal-
Gus of one of the young men, who was
paying his respects to a young lady he
loved; so to get rid of him he blew him
up with dynamite, and let his compan'
ions and bed-fellow go in for good meas
ure.
