Fusion candidate for the House of Rep
resentatives. 1t was a red-hot meeting.
for the fires of enthusiasm were kindled
into warmest fervor, and melted the
feelings of the most phlegmatlc temporal
ment into the thrilling pulsings of wild
est and fiercest ardor. Not one single
ember of Indifference could be found
amid those wildly raging fires of burn
ing enthusiasm-ye even the ashes or
staidest conservatism giowed and
sparklod and grew ''red7hot' with indis-
nation and resentment. Strong and Wig
orous resolution, denouncing Dr. Person
for attempting in the last Legislature to
place Wilson under negro rule, We're
passed in storm Of widest enthusiasm,
and showed that our people were thor

Wilson has there been such an exhibit

infamy of the last Legislature, and
never before have Witnessed such de-
monstration of red hot enthusiasm.
Our model townsman, Judge Conner,
made the first speech, which was one
Of the most thrilling and electrifying
speeches ever heard in Wilson, for under
his magic stroke every heart-string was
touched. and they quivered and trem-
bled like withered leaves before the
sweep of n storm. Judge Connor's style
generally is purely colloquial, and he is
intensely logical but on this occasion he
departed from his usual manner, and he
opened the fountain Of his feelings. and
poured out their billowy torrents in the
most fervent streamings of utterance
that ever trembled ON human lips
He was followed by the Hon. +. A.
Woodland, who made Il strong and force
full and earnest and able and very elo-

of North Carolina, and painted in glow

made her past so noble and so grand.
And in contrasting them with the pres

yesterday decided by Judge Furches.
The decision in full is as follows:
1t seems that there is no Populist in
Stewartsville precinct, Richmond county.
and that two Republicans were appointed
registrars; that upon the application of
the Democratic chairman Of said county,
one of the Republican registrars, who
had been elected chairman and who
had the registration books in his hands,
was removed and ordered to turn said
books over to the other registrars. The
other Republican registrar resigned and
the registration books were turned over
to the defendant, he being the only regis
trar at that time that since said books
We're so turned over to the defendant,
the plaintiff has been appointed i'll place
of the Republican registrar who resigned,
and the plaintiff and the defendant are
now the only registrars in said precinct.
The law provides for the election of a
chairman of the board of registrars,
and that he shall have the custody of the
registration books. This provision was
made upon the supposition that there
would be three registrars, and that a
majority would rule in making the selec-
ton of chairman, who represents
the board. But in this case there are
only two, and they have not agreed upon
chairman. and it was stated upon the
argument that they would not.

is to be regretted But the object of the

Questions Arising as a Result
of the War Not Likely to
Be Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The curtain
rang up at noon upon the closing session
of the Fifty-fifth congress. The war
and the fruits of the American victory
carry in their wake many problems
which the national legislators must
solve. But though many questions may
press for solution the brief space cov-
cred by this session, which expires by
limitation March A, precludes the proba-
bility of much being accomplished, be-
yond the passage of the regular money
budgets, the Legislation for the increase
of the regular army, which the
Administration Deems Necessary
to meet the obligations imposed upon
the country by the result of the war,
and probably the enactment of law to
give permanent territorial govern
ment to the Hawaiian islands. This
covers all the important legislation
which the congressional leaders expect
to see enacted at this session. 1t is al
most the unanimous sentiment of the
members that no attempt should be
made to legislate concerning the posses
sions acquired through the war with
Spain at this session.
There are earnest advocates of the
Nicaraguan canal who will arrive to
secure its passage now, and they
May Possibly BE Successful,
but neither it or any one of the meas
ures like the pooling bill, anti-scalpers'
bill, ETC., which have strong friends,
will be allowed to interfere with the
bills, the passage of which have been
deemed absolutely necessary to prevent
an extra session. The leaders at both
ends Of the Capitol have put their heads
together and the work of the session is
to be entered upon with the idea of
avoiding an extra session. With this
purpose in view the appropriation bills
are to be given the road at both ends of
the Capitol and pressed through with
all possible haste.

report that the government will devote

States to the colonial Indebtedness, re-
garding which no decisive steps have
