FOURTH AT KURN HATTIN.

The writer received the following from
a friend Of the Homes and we wish to add
our word in praise Of the present manage
ment Of the Homes. 1t is very certain
that Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard and James,
Jr., are the right people in this place.
Our national holiday was made much OF
at Kurn Hattin during the entire day, from
the procession of horribles in the early
morning, led by General Warren Carr ard
(m) aids, until the firing Of the last salute
at night Young Americas fullest anticipa-
lions for rousing celebration were real
lied. During the morning the usual
demonstration of fre-crackers, torpedoes,
etc., occupied the time; in the afternoon
the following list of sports was contested !:
One hundred yard dash, high jump, potato
race, srelay race, running broad jump,
doughnut race, small boys rae, half mile
run. At 8 o'clock huge bonfire on the
summit of Kurn Hattin was lighted and
the flames were seen Tor miles around !;
through the kindness OF friends in Boston
and elsewhere we we're provided with an
abundant display of fireworks to which
was added an equally imposing display
provided by the people of Westminster !;
these were fitting climax to our days
program. Many visitors were present
during the entire day and tor these our
CITY government park afforded an excel
lent picnic grove. We are grateful to the
people of Westminster for their manifest
interest in our work.
The operetta "Golden Hair and the
Three Bears" will be given at the town
hall Tuesday evening, July II. Miss Grace

beautiful queen, who, though so fair, would
lure her into danger. The queen, hearing

VIOLATING THEIR ORDERS.

The Chatham county Populists, in their
resolutions arraigning fusion with ne
groes and gold-bugs, declare their IRE
greet that our State committee has aban-
doned the orders of our State convention
as set forth in the platform unanimously
adopted"
lists have offered to the illegal action
of the State Executive Committee. The
Populist State Executive Committee
passed resolutions which gave the com
mittee only such authority as is con
tanned in the following resolution:
''Resolved, That this convention elect
4 COnfere Ire Committee, which shall u
authorized to confer with any party or
faction of party, that declares its en-
dorsement of the ABOVE PRINCI-
PIES AND PURPOSES, and that ia
vors cooperation with the Peoples Par
ty, to carry the same into effect upon
such basis as will maintain intact the
integrity of the Peoples party, and will
preserve to it not less than it's present
representation in both State and Nation
al affairs"
The "above priniples and policies" a.
set forth were in brief:
/. The endorsement of Bryan and But
lers letter fayoring cooperation of all
silver forces.
2. The election of nine silver Congress
men, an anti-monopoly legislature and
non-partisan judges and solicitors.
3. The election of an anti-monopoly
Legislature, opposed to government by
injunction, the 90 year lease, gold CON
tracts, free bosses, local self-governmen1

THOMPSON EXPOSED AGAIN.

Attention has already been called to
the many gross Misrepresentation of
good men by DIR. Cyrus Thompson and
other negro fusion shouters. Thomp-
sons attacks on Cook, 4. NJ. Aycock,
Robbins and others have been exposed
by the gentlemen themselves, or others
speaking for them.
1t really begins to appear that DR..
Thompson has not succeeded in saying
anything OH the stump that will bear
the light Once already he has been
convicted of concealing facts well within
his own knowledge and attacking a
man of irreproachable character under
cover of such concealment.
Elsewhere there appears communi-
cation from Mr.. II. B. PEBBLES of North
ampton county. exposing another mis-
representation by this great apostle of
negro domination, that he must have
known was such when he uttered it.
In his speech at Clinton Thompson
charged Mr.. PEBBLES with, certain utter
anees in the Democratic State Conven-
ton, saying that he heard Mr.. PEBBLES
make them. Not only did Mr.. PEBBLES
say nothing of the sort, but according
to his own statement the utterances
sought to be imputed to him are utterly
at variance with his well known views.
So far as the anonymous circular re-
peating the falsehood is concerned,
it may be dismissed as mere
~ another proof of how lost to decency
and reason. the fusion leaders are be-
come.
DIR. Thompson, however, has been put
forward as the great expounder of the
Rad-Pop hybrid doctrine. He is per-
haps the ablest and cleanest politician
the fusionists have. And yet DIR.
Thompson is not above shuffling and
concealment and the making of wilful
mis-statements. He forgets receipts he
himself has signed in his efforts to black
en- the characters of honest men and
hears men say things they have never
said, in an attempt to win back revolt
ing and Disguised constituency by base
appeals to prejudice.
When the ablest man in the fusion
ranks is driven to such disreputable
methods in an attempt to bolster his
case the status of the negro fusion
cause is pretty accurately fixed.

A TEST CASE.

There was in Raleigh yesterday one
Mr.. J. d. Alfred Mr.. Alfred has been
a lifelong Republican and lives in the
strongest Republican precinct of Ran
dolph county. He came TO Raleigh a
Republican. He returns home Demo
GRAFT Elsewhere he tells why he has
changed.
Mr.. Alfred is a man of intelligence and
of character, standing and substance in
his community. He was told, as all Re
publican and POpulist voters are being
told, that the reports of negro rule, that
negro officials abound, that Jim Young
inspected the White Blind Institution,
were Democratic falsehoods. He went
into the clerk of courts office here and
saw negro deputy transacting business;
he went to the White Blind Institution
and saw Jim Young's report for himself.
He found matters just as Democrats
have been representing them; he saw
for himself how Republican and Popu-
list politicians are seeking to deceive the
people: he goes home TO work for De-
mocracy and White Supremacy.
Every white Republican cannot do as
Mr.. Alfred has done, but there are many
nevertheless who will accept his testi-
mony and that of other good men and
will share In November the honor OF
heIping to redeem the State from the
negro and the negro heelers.

'fNEGR0ES HAVE EVERY THING THEIR OWN
Way"

The Re-pop-li-can leaders, who see nc
chance of keeping their piece of pie I'M
less they can continue the fusion between
the negroes and the Populists, are be.
tween 'the devil and the deep sea" III
their desperation.
To the negroes they point out that they
already hold more Offices than the negroe
in all the other States Of the Union hold,
and promise them if they will stand in
the background little, they shall have
many more Offices if they win in No
vember.
To the Populists they declare that all
this talk about so many negroes being in
office is Democratic lie and tina,
there are very few if any more negroes
in office than when the Democrats ruled.
This is the most brazen-faced lie of the
campaign. Because in 1876 the Demo,
Gratis allowed the Republican members
of the Legislature to name one-third OF
the magistrates in the counties they rep
resented, and these Republicans put IL
negroes without letting the Democrats
know their color. these campaign howl
ers charge the Democrats with Apo ntln-
negro magistrates in 1876. - AS soon as
the Democrats found out how they had
been imposed upon, the Republicans were
denied the privilege of naming magis--
trates. and none but white men Were ap'
pointed thereafter.
The people are not all fools. They are
not all blind. They are not all deaf and
dumb. They see, feel and know the pres
ence Of the negro in controlling positions
in the management of white schools in
the county, and in many other positions
where they ought not to be, and they
have resolved in November to forever
put an end to negro supremacy in NORTH
Carolina.
The following article from the New
York Sun shows that the whole world
knows that North Carolina is in the
hands of the negro, and is regarded as
the Mecca for negroes from all parts
of the country.
II do not know how it is in other parts
of the South" said New Yorker but
where | was in North Carolina | noticed
that the negroes have everything their
own way. In Craven county you will find
as many colored as white jurors in the
courts. There is also a negro coroner,
who is careful to give his race the prefer
epce when he summons jurors. The reg
lister of deeds is a negro, and his clerks
are the same. The candidate for county
treasurer is the same, and so is one Of
the members of the board of education.
Thirteen of the school committeeman are
of the same race. l was told that the
county supervisors report from July,
1897, to July, 1898, shows that the ne
groes in the county have property valued
at $360,000. A colored constable serves
the papers for twenty-six magistrates.
I'm the board of aldermen in the county
seat, Newbern, are three colored men.
The city attorney is also colored. -Four
of the policemen and Il sergeant are col
ored. The member of Congress from this
district is colored The employees about
the town and county buildings are col
ored / met Bishop Petty, of the Meth
odist church. while / was there. He Is
an intelligent colored man. He said to
me: Eastern Carolina is the place for
the negro And so it seemed to me"

A CRITICAL Time
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunitic n
and Rations TO the Front Saved the
Day.
p. q. Butler, OF pack-train No. 8
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23rd, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see Doctor
for it was case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhOea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, / sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in a supply of this medicine
for our pack-train before we left Tam
pa, and | know in four cases it absolute
ly saved life"
