Meeting.

The methods now being pursued by the
Rep-Pop Purchasers, in their night meet
ings with negroes, brings to mind the
days just after the war when the Red
String party flourished. 1t almost sur
passes belief that a man with a white
skin could sink so low as to secretly meet
a crowd of negroes. in the dark house Of
the night, and plot with them for the
downfall of his own race But just this
thing is being done. A private letter re-
ceiyed a few days ago from gentle
man who lives near Rockingham tells
of a meeting of this sort, ut which Claude
Dockery dictated. as follows:
~ crowd of young folks went hay rid

negro church, and crowd Of negroes
halted them and made them go back.
Claude Dockery was having a meeting
with them and put these guards out to

post for Raleigh, came before the

unusually large number of members be-
ing present.

object Of the meeting, said that so far
as he could gather, Raleigh's chances
for securing the post We're excellent. Ii
is understood that one such camp will
be established in North Carolina.
Mr. Ashley thought that a committee
on site should be appointed, and moved
accordingly.
Major Hill as chairman Of the Com
mittec on Permanent Army Post, in
speaking to the motion, said it was his
understanding that man would be
sent to the State by Adjutant General
GorbiR to see what advantages it offer
ed for a winter camp.
Mr.. Raney thought that committee
should be sent to Washington to confer
with the War Department authorities
with regard TO the winter camp.
Mr.. Ashley's motion to appoint Com
mittee on Site, prevailed and the chain
appointed Mcssns. Ashley, Stronach
Major Hill, E. b. Barbee, II. T. Gray.
Mr.. j. n. Holding moved that com
mittee be appointed at the discretion OF
the chairman and Executive Committed
Of the Chamber to confer with the Wan
Department and the motion prevailed.
Mr. Frank Stronach moved that a
Reception Committee be appointed by
the chair to entertain the representative
of the War Department while here, and
the chair appointed Messrs. Stronach
Raney and w. j. Andrews.
Mr.. Raney moved that a committee be
appointed to compile monograph on the
advantages of Raleigh as a location for
winter camp, and the chair appointed
Messrs. Geo. Allen, w. A. Withers and
G. II. Won Hermann. DIR. Il. II. Lewis
was added at the request of the com.

her that this committee complete It's
work as speedily as possible. Mr.. X. L,
Gray was excused from the Committee
on Site. as he will be absent, and A. y.
Andrews, Jr., was appointed in his
stead.
1t is thought, in case the winte>
camp is secured, that not more than
four regiments will be sent here. Raj
eigh offers exceptional advantages foi
winter camp, and with vigorous ac-
ton it can doubtless be secured The
Temporary camp is, Of course, not to be
confused with the permanent army post
which il is hoped can be secured.

crate murder at Freeport, and SEN
fenced for life, is soon to be set free
by Gov. Tanner on account of his
broken-down health. Harris was
originally doomed to die on the scat
fold, but a reprieve saved him. Bill
McCaull, former president of the Hi

played in Davenport) has stuck to
the murderer ever since the prison
doors were closed upon him, and has
gotten up a mammoth petition, signed
by nearly all the members of the pro-
fession of the country, asking mercy
for him. 1t certainly does not reflect
to the credit of the baseball people
to use their good offices in behalf of a
murderer such as Harris, even though
he be a member of their profession.

FOOD FOR CYCLERS.

Better.
The bicycler who takes long rides
needs nourishment in condensed
form. The loading up of the stomach
with heavy food will work serious
injury.
Cyclers and athletes who have tried
the delicious Grape-Nuts, lately placed

recommendations of them as con-
densed food that builds flesh, strength
and muscle, while at the same time is
easily digested.
1t is an undeniable fact that more
hard work, physical or mental, can
be done on a meal of Grape-Nuts than
upon any food in existence.
Proof of this is to be found among
those who use Grape-Nuts and have
the experience.

it's popularity is understood.
