A Model Plant is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators. Plows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from Is to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available 1t
costs nothing to generate Electric
Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COM
PANY is now ready TO furnish Electric
Plants and Generators of all descrip-
tions at short notice. and also has on
hand a large stock of Wire, Chande-
Tiers and Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt at
tention, and estimates furnished for
Lighting and Power Plants; also, at
tention is given to House and Marine
Wiring.

WHAT FUSION DOES.

Tarboro, \. C., Sept. lS,-
(Special.) The following sto
ry is told me: DR.. Mayo, On"
Of the leading Populists OF
EdgecOmbe county, had on
his place a negro politician
by the name OF Henry DAncy.
Oi late DR.. Mayo has been, as
it we're, bootIicking Dancy.
He has treated the negro as
though he was his equal. AS
Il result, Dancy became up
pish. He took the little ne
gro house boy off to one side
the other day and told him
that he would give him a dol.
lar if he would tell him which
room Miss Mayo, DR.. Mayo'S
grown daughter. occupied
The negro boy told the cook
the cook told Mrs. Mayo
and the result is that impu
dent Dnnry has skipped tt
parts more distant. The af-
fair is the talk OF the neigh
borhood.

They Are Coming Over.

DR.. Il. W. Perkins, of New
port, long q prominent Re-
publican of his section, writes
a letter to the Raleigh Post
in which he says:
81 wish through your ex.
cellent paper to renounce my
connection with the Republi.
can party. My reasons for
doing so are that | believe
that white men should rule
North Carolina, and | was
convinced at the last Repub-
lican State convention, which
| am sorry to say | attended
as a delegate, that the Re-
publican party is composed
chiefly OF negroes and the
trend OF this party is to place
the negro more and more
over the white race. And
now | pledge myself to vote
and use all my influence for
the success of the white man s
party"
A number Of honest Repub,
licans who believe the rule OF
the white man in the state is
more important in this cam
paign than any issue OF any
party are going to vote the
Democratic ticket this year,
because they know that the
Democratic party will restore
white supremacy in the State.
There are many Populists
and white Republicans who
will vote the Democratic tick
it this year who are keeping
quiet for personal reasons
But there are plenty of them
who are boldly announcing
that they will support tho
Democratic party. In near
ly every newspaper we prt
up there is some card writer
by a well known Populist OF
Il white Republican stating
that he will vote the Demo
cratic ticket this year,

body OF another who had
been killed. Leslie Killian,
aged 19. son of Henry Xii

railroad track, was found
dead by the track yesterday

one side of his forehead and
a cash at the back of his
head were the only marks OF
violence found on his body,
and if he was killed by a pass

remarkable that his body

The Enemy Begins the Campaign.

SUhteSNIlle lIululIldTh.
Our friends, the enc m V,
have opened the campaign in
Iredell. Mr.. J NJ, Shook, fu-
sion candidate for the House
and Mr.. H. Conner Davidson,
who was scOtchingfor Shook,
addressed about 13 of their
fellow citizens at LOn2ford
school house, in Fallstown
township, Saturday night.
OF the 13 some we're Demo
Gratis and three were coIored
men. Messrs. Shook an d
Davidson in their remarks
solmenly assured the co'ored
men and the non-land own
ers among the white men
present that ifthe Democrats
win this time they will be dis
franchised. Mr.. Arch Ken
nedy, of Davidson township,
who was present, also made
the same assertion.
Thus this Old lie, which has
seen service in North Carroll,
ma campaigns for 20 years,
is being revamped and put
ON it's rounds again. We
don't know Mr.. Kennedy but
we 90 know Mcssrs. Shook
and Davidson. Both oitheln
are or we're leading Church
men. Just how they can get
the consent of their cOnsrien-
cps to stand up and make a
statement which they know
to he false we cannot under
stand. We can understand
it, too, as 10 Mr.. Shook. We
know something of hisgenpr'
y! reputation and he has been
an office seeker for 25 years
He would sell his birthright
for a mess Of pottage. Bu'
we are surprised at Mr.. Dav
idson.
1t is enough answer to this
lie to say that the Democrat

Carolina for 20 yearsand th'
negroes and "pOor whites
were not disfranchisrd. w
make no appeal to the ne

Lee Person, (col.), is the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

t o throw Secretary Alaer
overheard? Many persons
think so. Secretary Alger is
the only member Of the Cabi-
net who was not specially
summoned to Washington
to participate in the extend
ed consideration and discus
sion of the instructions Civ
/, en- to the American Peace
Commissioners previous to
their departure forParis. 1t
is asserted that this public
snub was administered to Al
ger as a hmt that his reslg-
nation of the War Portfolio
would be acceptable to the
administration. Another rea-
son given for not having Al
ger in Washington just now
is that Mr.. Mckinley wished
= the other members OF the
Cabinet to feel free in express
ing themselves about the in
tended investigation OF the
War Department, W h ic h
J would have been impossible
with the Secretary OF War
present. Mr.. Mckinley S
said to be fully convinced
now that the investigation
will result in finding Algpr
guilty of some OF the gravpst
charges that have been made
/. against him, and to be fully
determined to do nothing to
shield Alger. Some say that
he has been brought to this
State of mind by evidence
, laid before him by military
i, men; others that it is the re-
suit OF the existing panic n
mong the Republican mana
gers over the outlook f""
Democratic succesS in the
Congressional campaign, and
their insiStence that some,
thing be done at once to
cOuntpract the wave Ofindig'
nation that is sweeping over
the country as result oftht
J. knowledge of the unnecessary
hardships and DEATHS among
the volunteers. If Mr.. Nc
Kinley will really try to as
sisr the investigating com
mission, which will shortly
get to work, by officiall,
stating his wish that all ar
= my officers asked to testify
shall tell everything the.
know about the mismanage
ment of the war, the trutt
may be got at, notwithstan'
ing the commissions lack O
legal authority t o cOmpe

1t is said that Gen. Sec

member of the investigating
commission resulted n

and Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is Gel
tain that when Gen. Scofie|

egg Is simply a morsel for the gods. The
pampered palate of no oriental p%otentate
ever lingeringly dallied with a richer or
more perfect delicacy. The only place

rough uncovered table of some back
woodsman's cabin. the last place I'm the

bites. II isn't at all likely that YOU will
ever have the opportunity of breakfast

scarce nowadays. Besides. the law places
a price on ruffed grouse's eggs that
would place them out of the reach Of the
ordinary run of egg eaters. In the esti-
nation Of the law these eggs are worth

worth every cent of L..
