AGUE CAUSED BY HA1LsToNEs
More Instances of Negro Rule Law and
Order.

Scotland Neck. n. c., Sept. 7.-(Spc-
cial.)-There was another little street
scene in town about noon yesterday u
which cOlored man named Isaac Poweu
received some pretty heavy fist blows on
the head. He put up a notice that ne
had taken up COW, the owner OF Whlcn
could have her by paying the charges
etc. 1t was Mr.. J. s. Bowen's cow,
and Mr.. Bowen happened along about
the time Isaac was putting up the
notice. Some words cnsued, ana MI
BOwen's brothers hearing of the trouble
and knowing him to be crippled and I'M
able to defend himself, were soon on the
scene and administered severe list
flogging to Isaac. No one was seriously
hurt.
Persons who live in the district which
was visited by the severe hail storm in
May are suffering very much from chills.
They think that it comes from the great
quantity of leaves and other green vege-
tatiOn which was beat into the streams
and poisoned the water. The streams
are slow and sluggish, and in many
places there is stagnant water, and it
is thought the decaying vegetation so
poisoned the water that much malaria is
the result. One persons told your cor
respondent that Il few days after the
great hail storm fish were seen in large
numbers either tangled in the grass or
the streams half dead or floating on
the water dead, and it was thought to
be from the poison in the water from the
dccaying vegetation.

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Polk County Puts Out An Excellent
Ticket Convention Harmonious.

Columbus, n. c., Sept. 7.--(Special.) J.
The county Democratic convention was
held here to-day. 1t was the largest and
most earnest and thoughtful body
of Democrats that ever assem-
bled in Polk to nominate county
officers. The body was called to order
by Squire n. ii. Hill, in the unavoidable
absence of Chairman George Justice.
j. B. Livingston was elected secretary
and w. w. Vandwer, editor of the Polk
News, assistant. The following ticket
was nominated
Legislature, ]. M. Williams; Clerk,
John r. Arledge; Register of Deeds, w
H. Mcfarland; Treasurer, Il. Z. Jack
son; Sheriff, J. A. Hines; County Com
missioners, j. b. Livingston, Z. Z.
Hinsdale, John Johnson: Coroner, jeff
Halburt; Surveyor, G. w. Pearson.
Enthusiasm and earnestness pervaded
the convention and good natured rivalry
among the friends of candidates was
conspicuous, but more harmonious
body never named a county ticket. The
nominees are well distributed over the
county and are among the very best men
of Polk. Prohibitionists, POpulists and
gold Democrats are coming to the rescue
of the regular Democracy, and their
presence was noted in the convention.
The outlook for Polk is ffne Old Dem
ocrats say they never saw it better. The
best people of the county, of all shades of
political creed, are around and deter
mined to redeem Polk. The convention
to-day with it's fine personnel, its excel
lent spec ches and harmonious action, has
inspired the party for the best of battles.

TO BE QUIETLY CONSIDERED.

Elsewhere there appears Il clipping
from the Newbcrn Journal, detailing an
occurrence on the streets of that town
Upon the incident itself there is no
need to comment. Every man can sup
ply the comment for himself. The incl
dent is not an isolated or unusual one
1t is only different in manner and de-
gree not in kind. from things that oc-
cur every day in every town i'll the
State that is cursed with negro rule
Can any honest man doubt that such
things are the direct result of negro
rule? Has any man heard of or read
of such incidents on the streets of Ashe-
Vile. Charlotte, Greensboro or States
vile?
The meaning of such things is too
plain to need pointing out. The ultimate
result of a condition that bears such
fruit can not be mistaken. 1t is pure
ly II question of time. The white man
who cares any thing for his State, his
family or himself has two months yet
in which to make up his mind whether
he will be partner to two years more
of such an unspeakable degradation.

terday Hon. +. w. POu made great
speech on the current political issues at
Ellington. His oratOry was matchless,
his argument unanswerable and the earn
estness of his appeals carried conviction
to scores who had hitherto been vacillat-
ing or openly opposed to the principles
Of the Democratic party. For an hour
and thirty minutes the audience of more
than 500 people listened with the
keenest interest TO his arraignment Of
the fusion government of North Caro-
lima. which he showed from clippings
from Populist papers, had been tried at
the bar of that party and found guilty
of incompetence and corruption; and To
his earnest appeals to all patriotic white
men to come together and save the State
from negro domination which is already
humiliating our people and threatening
our institutions.

sional District The Republican Execu-

Ncwbern unanimously passed resolu-
ton in favor of putting out a straight
Republican ticket, without consulting
with the Populists. The Republicans
never lose an opportunity of serving
notice ON the Populists that their support
is welcomed only where it is imperatively
needed. The Republicans kick out the
Populists and the negroes kick out the
white Republicans. The true inward

What boon some of those books which
they have read would be to family whose
members have little money to spend on
reading matter. One man, on leaving his
country place each autumn. sends all his
readirg matter to poorer neighbor who
lives in the country the year around. Only
those who have known the shut-in feeling
and the isolation of a sparsely settled coun-
try neighborhood in the depths of winter
Can conceive what a blessing those books
are For the man who bought them is a
man of excellent literary taste and does
rot buy trash He also sends to this same
rural home all the magazines for which he
subscribes after he and mis- family have
finished with them. They are read and
reread in that snow-bound New England
rome, and in themselves afford a liberal
education in the current literature of the
day.
