"PEG LR0" WILLIAMS,

Who is "Peg Leg" Williams? Ask
the d emocratlc niger calamity howl
ers," who are now swearing that there
is danger that all the negroes Of the
United States will come to North Car
DINA and swallow the State.
For the last thirty years the Ransom
Democratic mochine have tried, ig-
nored and put into. the background ev-
cry reform issue behind the cry of
"nigger." Why have they cried mig
ger?" Because they have been in CO.
partnership with every railroad and
monopoly in the State 20 rob and bleed
the people.
In 1890 "Peg Leg" Williams and
many other men seeking Iaborers came
to North Carolina and bryan hiring
negroes by The car load and shipping
heD out Of the State to other State>
where labor was scarce. As soon a. b.
began this the machine Democratic
pOliticisns-th- Ransom nigger how
ers (who for thirty years had sworn Of
each campaign that the "nigxer" wa
a menace and danger to the State) a,
once became enraged with Peg Leg
Williams and tried to run him from
the State with shotguns and rotten
eggs. They went further, they ran t.
the legislature and begged that body
to pass Law prohibiting Peg Leg
or any one else from taking another
negro from the State.
Why did they do this? Because the
niger was their only campaign issue
They wanted the negro here for &
scarecrOw. They did not want sin.
gle niger to leave here-they wanted
more niggers to come. They are per-
fectly happy when they can yell mig
ger" They are supremacy happy now
They will try to force a race riot be
fore the election SO they can sell ou
the State to the railroads again.
The railroads are happy when tn
"nigger" cry can be raised. 1t keep
the railroads and the men who are be
traying and robbing the people from
being an issue. The railroads and al
the other monOpolies are putting VI
the campaign fund for these Demo
cratic "nigger calamity howlers."
How can these Democratic machin
politicians sell the people out to tn
railroads behind the "nigse cry with
out the people finding it out sooner o
later? They can't. The people vii
find it out, but if they let the Demo
cratic machine, under the direction Q
Ransom and Simmons get the mex
Legislature they will find it on
too late. Why? Because Simmons
the high priest of ballot-box stuff
ing, will pass an election law b
which they can throw out fifty thou
sand voles in any election. Ho,
can the people rebuke traitors if thes
traitors have the election machiner
by which they can throw out as man
votes as they want to and steal an elee
ton ? If Secret Circular Simmons an
his crowd of ballOt-bo suffers get til
> legislature, they and the railroads wi
destroy and rob the people with impu
nifty, for the people will then be pow
erless to rebuke them or turn thel
out.
; Let every good citizen realize tn
danger, and on the 9Th day of Noveu
Der crush this band of ballot b.
thieves who have alrendy mortgsg.

"nigger" to keep the people from
knowing where they stand on the
money and railroad and disfrancbise-

felt by the authorities. He has given
directions that every DEVELOPMENT be
communicated to him, and. in view of
thus fact, does not credit Il report that
there WAS another outbreak Yesterday.
saying that any such Outbreak would
have been communicated TO him and
that the report doubtless arose either
from a delayed cablegram, based on the
outbreak previously reported or else
that there was some minor disturbance

Washington, u. c., Jan. ia cable
gram was received ut he State Depart
ment at l o'clock this afternoon from
Consul General Lee at Havana, stating
that eyrything was tranquil.
Ihe Official adyices from Havana re-
ceived by the Spanish Minister, Mr..
Dupuy De Lone. continue to be re-
assuring. \ dispatch sent at S o'clock
last evening SAID that the city was per-
fectly quiet. Another dispatch. sent
shortly after midnight and received early
this morning. stated that a few people
gathered in the public park about 10
o'clock last night. There was no demon
s~tration and under ordinary circum-
stances no attention would have been
given to it as the park is the central
public point of havana. As Il matter
of precaution, however, the patrol of
soldiers on duty asked the people to
have away and this they did without
demonstration of til exercise of any
force. BY II O'Clock the troops were
back in their quarters.
No surprise would be felt, if there
were sporadic gatherings of groups in
4 city OF Hayana's size, particularly
Sunday. when the streets are usually
filled with those otherwise engaged dur
ing the week. This customary outpour-
ing of the people doubtless Will occur
tomorrow, and it may serve as an in
centive for the ~c0ngregating of groups,
but it is said this should not be mis-
construed into 4 popular demonstration
ana no uneaSinesS whatever is felt that it
will be the occasion Of anything more
than a few viyas even if that much oc-
ours.
Senior Gown, a member Of the Autono-
nous cabinet, arrived at Havana to-day,
and TINS, also, it is said, may serve as a
e. for some yivas by the ultras.
GOWN has been at Atlanta. Ga. since
the Autonomous cabinet was formed.
He is regarded as the strongest man
of that body and for that reason his ap-
pointment has excited intense hostility
among the insurgents and their friends.
1t led to a movement to insult him per
sonally as he passed through Tampa,
according to information submitted to
the Spanish Minister. This led Senior
Gown to change his route. making q sea
trip by way of New York. He sailed
from there last Saturday. In view of
the movement against him at Tampa.
it would be no surprise to the legation
here if the same ultras element at
Havana took his arrival az an opportu-
nifty for similar expression against him.

indication Of subsequent developments

The distressed parents notified the police
of enc Of the West Philadelphia districts

Of a strip Of woods near the little fol-
lows home was made.
To-day it was learned that Samuel
Henderson, aged l.. whose home IS near
that Of the Lockyar family. had been
seen in the woods with Percy. He NJ
first denied having seen the child but
on being closely questioned by the police.
admitted having been with him in the
woods. He told several conflicting eto-
ries regarding Percy's disappearance. at

him to 80 to his home. Then he said
that While he was whiting a stick with
a large knife Percy had accidentally
fallen against the blade. which entered
