A NEGRO DEFAMER OF THE
WHITE WOMEN OF NORTH CAR.
DINA.

In the year Of Grace 1869-early in
name forgotten, was editing The Raj
eigh Standard, Holden's old paper,
and then the organ of the rascals who
were just beginning their plan to rob
the people and SOW the dragons teeth
Of anarchy and discord. This north
ern scamp wrote an infamous editorial
about North Carolina women who
were democrats, and it got so hot for
him he was forced to fee the state to
ave his bacon. Those times were
disgraceful times. There is a negro
paper published in this city called
The Daily Record. We have never
before referred to it. But in it's issue
Of Thursday, the 18th, there is an edi-
torial that casts a great slur upon the
wives of o white men, and is more
Infamous possibly than that foul ed
itorial Of the northern white scoundrel
in 1869. We copy a part of what is
said by the negro paper of this negro
city and ask the white men-particu-
larly the white married men, and es-
pecially the sons of white mothers,
what they think Of such dirty defama-
ton, such a sweeping insult to all re-

Here he tells of his own experience,
and he has been holding "clandestine
wives of white men. He charges that
the virtue of this class is of as low
type as those of negro women who are
represented as ready for "clandestine
meetings." Not satisfied with this
statement he goes on to embrace girls
of culture and refinement" so fallen as
to become lovers of negroes. He says
this is very we'll known" The in
fanny of the statement. It is to break

hat they are beguiled by poor whit

The nominee by the cigarette trust
Of a radical candidate for the
state senate in Wake county is
John c. Angler, and he is a
brother-in-law to B. N. Duke, a direc-
tor of the said huge, oppressive ciga-
rette trust. Durham and Wake are
sought to be managed by this giant,
crushing octopus. By the way this
particular Duke, known as Ben, is also
running the Oxford Orphan asylum
to suit himself. Ben is a hustler. The
Raleigh NeWs-Observer says:
"And Ohio Wilson's wing OF the
populist party, knowing that the sur
render of the senatorship to the re-
publicans near the selection of the
candidate by the cigarette trust, has
agreed to turn the pOpulist party over
to the trust that has ever since it's
organization Systematically robbed

John j. 'Upchurch was born in
Franklin county, N. c., has lived at
Meadville, Pa, since 1866. He is not
a great man but a very useful man.
He is the originator of the Order of
the United Workman, as We learn
from the Louisburg Times. 1t began
in 1868, and now has 800, 900 members
in the United States. The Times says
of it's departed countyman:
John j. Upchurch is dead, yet liveth
in the hearts of thousands of widows
and orphans; the work he began is be-
ing continued by thousands of men to
whom the principles of Charity and
Protection he taught have descended,
and other thousands yet to come will
further continue the work.
To show the magnitude of it's Bene-
ficiary system the following statistics
are appended:
In the year 1897, the order paid to
the beneiciaries of deceased brethren

All honor to the memory of such a
native North Carolinian and benefac-
tor of his race,
The enemy is preparing for battle.
Chairman Holton, of the black radical
cohorts, has begun his work of organ
izing the blacks and his pale face gang
into a regular army. The inspiration
in grub, grab and greed, the three po-
litical G's with the black and tan
crowd. The Raleigh News-Observer,
telling of this war to be waged against
the supremacy of the White Men of
the state, says all the cohorts are to
be uniformed. That is we'll for the
whites, for all the haters to their race
and blood can be the more easily
spotted. The Raleigh paper says:
1T is supposed that the commander
in charge has a complete and thorough
new equipment including gold laved
uniforms for all the populists who
will fight under the negro fusion
banner. He has Dragged hat he
would put republican uniforms on them
and it is said that Colonel Harry Skin
ner secured the pick of the quarter
masters department. His suit is said
to be very handsomely trimmed with
spread eagle shoulder straps and drap-
ed all about with gold lace and gold
card. This suit is intended to dazzle
the populist of the First district and
make them fairly yearn for a Holton
uniform.
A suit oflike grandeur will per-
haps soon arrive for DR.. Cyrus Thomp-
son, the surgeon general of the fusion
forces. On his shoulder straps will be
a white star on a black back ground
indicating the rank of a b%rigadier.
The nineteen Pritchard populists some
of them will perhaps, want new uni
forms as those put on them two years
ago are soiled by coming in contact
with some flying editorial debris from

to lick easily that motley gang of pie

BIG-MOUTH BASS
IN RUSSIAN RIVER

With the ending of this month dies the
trout fishing season Of this year and It
goes without saying that it has been
many years since local anglers enjoyed
such good sport in the mountains. The
streams were low and as a result the
fishes were hungry and eagerly dashed
at anything skimming the water which

month of steelhead fishing in Russian
River will be a fad. But it is fervently
hoped that several inches of rain will
fall before another month and that Rus
sian River will be a raging torrent. The
Fish Commissioners have stocked Rus
sian River with large-mouth black bass
and the future fishing on that stream
promises to be excellent

a Portland (Or.) shipper of frozen fish
said that he could better afford to pay 5
cents a pound for them in the winter than
to have them furnished free in the sum

the winter and is therefore accustomed
to cold and stands freezing and shipping
in a frozen state better than any other
variety.

TWO WEDDINGS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Con6reSSman-Elect Julius
Kahn VIII Soon Be
come a Benedict.
Stein-Cahen Be-
trOthaI.

Two prominent betrothals were an
nounced yesterday, and both the young
couples, who are well known in select
Jewish circles, were overwhelmed with
congratulations. The announcement of
the engagement of Julius Kahn and Miss
Florence Prag did not come as a surprise
to the many friends of the Congressman
elect, nor to those of the young lady who
is soon to bear his name. Rumors Of the
engagement have been whispered about
for some time and the betrothal announce
ment came but as the gratifying conclu-
sive II told you So" The bride to be is a
teacher in the Lowell High School, and
daughter of Mrs. Mary Prag of the Girls
High School No date for the wedding
has as yet been arranged.
An engagement that did come as a sur
prise was that of Miss Lucie Cahen and
Louis Stern. The happy groom-to-be is
one of the most prominent of city business
men, a millionaire and active partner in
the firm of Levi Strauss & Co. Miss Ca
hen is the daughter of Louis Cahen of the
Bethesda Water Company, and sister of
Mrs N ]. Newmark of Los Angeles.
Mr. Stern's business interests are all
centered in New York, and it is In the
Empire City that he and his bride will
make their future home.

WEIGH. Percy v. Long, W; L. Loos, chair
man of the road racing board, and Will
liam Mackie, secretary of the Olympic
Wheelmen, are also much mentioned"
The factions may unite on one man be-
fore the election, however.
Stanley G; Scovern's efficiency as sec
rotary for the past three terms certainly
entities him to reelection, and he will
probably get it, although there are
others" who would like the honor and
emoluments of the Office.
The president-elect will have the ap-
pointing Of the committee chairmen, and
how these plums will be distributed can
not be foreshadowed until the contest for
that office narrows down to fewer men.
The attorneyship, Handicapped and chair
men of the track and road racing COM
mittees are the most important appoint
i've offices.
In the Cycle Clubs Baseball League the
game tomorrow will be between the
Olympic Wheelmen and San Francisco
Road Club at 1890 o'clock at the Preside
baseball grounds. In previous games the
Olympics have defeated the CALIFORNIA;,
and the San Franciscos have lost to the
Bay City Club, so that on form the
Olympics should win to-morrow's game.

The Supreme Court Refuses the Muir
derer a New Trial.

The Supreme Court has dismissed the
appeal for a new trial. of A. l.. Knott,
who was convicted of murder in the first
degree for having killed Joseph Knauer.
This means that there is but little hope
of saving the fellows neck from the gal
lows, and in all probability the sentence
of death will be imposed by the Superior
Court very soon.
The killing of Knauer was regarded as
very coldblooded. The two men had
quarrel about dog, and Knott laid in
wait on Stevenson street for over an hour

to pass and then shot him in the back.
The wounded man lived long enough to
make a dying statement of the affair. 1t
was upon this point that the defendants
attorney made his hardest fight to save
The murderers neck, and in his appeal it
was contended that the lower court COM
mitted an error in admitting the dying
mans statement at all.
The Supreme Court did not agree with
this contention, and said: I'VE do not

was clearly correct. We think that the
