Refused to Support Hewlett

Deputy Collector F. B. Rice, a lead
ing republican who has a large follow
ing, on yesterday met Sheriff Elijah
Hewlett, who is slated again as the
republican nominee for sheriff. Ir.
Rice told Sheriff Hewlett that he want
ed him to agree, in the event of his
election, to appoint E. A. Orrell, a
white republican.
Sheriff Hewlett declined to agree and
said he was pledged to appoint w. w.
King, to be jailor.
Mr.. Rice told Sheriff Hewlett he con-
sidered King a democrat and if he ap-
pointed him, he (Rice) would not sup
port him (Hewlett), and though his
majority at present prospects would
be from 600 to 500, he would vote
against him and do all he could to de-
feat him.
Mr.. Rice, who also denounced the
bosses, said he wanted the respectable
element of the republican party
to have the county offices and if they
were ignored he would refuse to sup
port the ticket. l.

The King Faction Decides to Nominate
an Independent Ticket-They Refuse
to Endorse Keith for the State Senate.

The populist county convention Of
the Joseph M. King faction met yes
terday morning in the c%oronor's room
at the court house, with twenty-eight
delegates in attendance. Capt. S. W.
Noble presided, and Captain l.. R. Ma
son acted as secretary. The delegates
first held a caucus.
After the caucus. the meeting was
public. The following resolution was
read by the secretary and was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sentiment
of his convention that we issue a full,
Independent ticket, but that it is mad
visable to make nominations at this
time. The central committee Of his
party is hereby empowered to make
such nominations where, in their judg-
ment, it shall seem proper"
The secretary also read the follow
ing resolutions which were adopted:
whereas, AS a matter of courtesy, it
has been the custom of the peoples
party-and, in fact, a long established
custom Of both the old parties-to con-
cede the nomination of senator to
Brunswick county one term and to
New Hanover the following term, and
whereas, in view of such custom, it is
New Hanover's right to name the can
didiate this term; therefore be it
Resolved, That we consider the act
of Brunswick county in making the
nomination, without consulting the
wishes of New Hanover, to be improp-
er and a violation of a just and long
established rule; that we contend for
our right to name the candidate; that
Mr.. B. F. Keith, who the party in
Brunswick county has nominated, is
not the choice Of the peoples party
of this county, and that the populists
of New Hanover cannot consistently
support him for that office.
The central committee is hereby di-
rected to communicate with the party
in Brunswick, setting forth this COM
plant and requesting an amicable ad-
justment of the difficulty"
On motion of Mr.. Joseph NJ. King.
the convention adjourned.
The John r. Melton faction Of the
populist party, it will be remembered,
endorsed Mr.. Keith's nomination for
the senate.

THE II

n County Convention Failed TO Make |
Nominations For the County Of1cers
Saturday-A Campaign CommIttee |
A~ppointed-A Recess Taken TIL Oc- |
Jober 29th. |
In accordance with the action at the
first meeting of the republican coun- |
ty convention in April, that
body assembled Saturday at noon at
the court house, and was called to Or
der by c. P. Jockey, the chairman.
c. w. Norwood, colored, was secretary.
The reading OF the minutes of the
first meeting was dispensed with, and
the convention vas declared ready for
business.
At the caucus on Thursday night the
business for the convention was cut
and dried. It was decided then not
to make nominations and certain
other matters were agreed upon. A
lot of type written resolutions were
prepared to carry out the arrange
ments made at the ucu 1t is said
by some republicans that the caucus
was harmonious, but other republicans
who are opposed to the machine de-
clare that whether it was harmonious
or not they defeated the cut and dried
ticket that was to have been nominal
ed yesterday, and SO the bosses decided
not to risk the nominations yesterday.
On the other hand, it is said that the
reason the nominations were not to be
made yesterday was that the ticket to
be put out is composed of negroes and
a lot of bad white material and it
would not do to spring it now.
Be this as it may, when the conven-
ton was declared ready for business
yesterday, DR.. S. P. Wright Immediate
ly offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That F. w. Foster, VIM.
H. Chadbourn, Daniel Howard, and
Jordan Nixon be, and they are hereby
elected delegates to the senatorial con-
vention, and that Thos. A. Watson,
j. E. Taylor, E. M. Green, and VIM.
Struthers are hereby elected alternates
to the same"
The following resolution offered by
G.. q. French was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That a campaign COM
mittee of five be appointed by the
chair to take charge of and conduct
the campaign in this county this fall"
In accordance with the above resO-
luton Chairman Jockey appointed the
folplowing as the campaign committees:
w. H. Chadbourn, F. w. Foster, G.. w.
Norwood. S. P. Wright, and John G..
Dancy.
The following resolution was offered
by A. J. Hewlett:
Resolved, That this convention now
take a recess to meet in this hall at
II o'clock, noon, Saturday, October
29th, 1898.

CRIMINAL COURT
Large and Important Docket for the
Next Term.

An estimation of the number of cases
that will appear on the docket of the
near-at-hand term of the criminal
court places it at about 175. This is
an enormous number, and not one
tenth, no., not hardy a twentieth, will
be disposed Of in the brief time allot-
ted by law, that is, if the most impor-
tant cases are tried first. Court will
V the 10th instant, which is a
week from tomorrow, and will last just
one week. There are already two cap
ital cases and several others of much
moment to be tried, and goodness
knows how many more cases will be
dOcketed before court opens at the rate
the magistrates are grinding them out
at present. This term of court will be
the most important that has taken
place in Jew Hanover county for many
years.
Solicitor NJ. c. Richardson, who was
in he city the past week during the
first few days of the present session of
the superior court, is cOgnizant of the
large number Of cases to come up at
the coming term of court. He will be

Editor Messenger:
While the white men of this city, are
visiting upon the negro, land justly,
too the result of his outrageous con
duct here, during the past months,
let them not forget the few white men
in town, who are responsible for all
this trouble. We know who they are,
and so do they. They are men who
the negro, and through his ignorance,
setting him against the elements of
order, and decency in the community.
1t is their tutelage of him hat has
cultivated his arrogance and lawless-
ness, at the expense of peace and order
here, in spite of the fact, which they,
and the negro know full we'll, that the
other whites are his real friends.
Yet these very white men, have lived
here with US, made their support, their
competence, and even fortunes, out Of
our patronage. The negro's ignor-
ance has been played upon bytheseyna-
licious men to their personal advantage
and the injury and outrage of the rest
of the community. 1t is time we were
placing the responsibility where it be-
longs.
1t would seem that there might come
a time, when the best negroes among
is, realizing how they had been ma
nipulated by these self-seeking. malic-
iOus white men, would awake to a
proper sense of their real situation.
But we have looked in vain. They ap-
pear incapable Of releasing themselves
from bondage. At any rate, the white
men are deeply moved, and are re-
solved that there shall be an end of
negro rule in this community, both
now and hereafter, and are determined
to go at any length in accomplish it,
without regard, if necessary, to the
negro and his white master.

Democratic Speaking at Mill Creek
Yesterday.

Messrs. Frank McNeill, Iredell Meares
and George H. Howell went over yes
terday morning to Mill Creek, Bruins
wick county, where a white govern
ment mass meeting n picnic was
held.
Messrs. Mcneil and Meares went
over by invitation to address the peo-
pie on the issues of the campaign. When
they reached Mill Crekk they found
a gathering of about 200 people, includ-
ing democrats n pOpulists, a few
republicans and about thirty ladies.
After a few moments rest, Captain
w. J. Davis, of Brunswick, the demo-
cratic nominee for the state senate
from this senatorial district, made a
good speech for democracy and was
heartily ap%plauded. He then introduce
ed Mr.. Mcneil, who made a fine speech.
Mr.. Mcneil was solicitor of that dis
trict for eight years, and many of the
people knew him personally. They
were greatly interested in his speech.
He spoke for three-quarterS of an hour
and his speech "a a strong, practical
presentation of the issues of the cam
paign.
Captain Davis next introduced Mr..
Meares, who spoke about two hours,
greatly enthusing the people. One who
heard him says he made one of the
grandest political speeches he ever
heard. When he commenced to speak
the faces of the populists wore a cyni-
cal look, but he had not been speaking
long before the cynical looks vanished.
When he concluded many persons, in
Guiding populists, congratulated him.
His speech had a fine effect and at
least one pouplist went away wearing
a white government button. There was
much enthusiasm and much good was
done.
We learn that the populists in
Brunswick are joining the procession
to save North Carolina.
