AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.
Paid to the late Lieutenant William T.
Ship BY Rober Q. Burton, Esq.

Certain friends of the late Lieutenant
William f. Shipp who did not hear the
tribute paid to him by X. o. Burton,
ESQ. during the recent argument be-
fore the North Carolina Railroad Com
mission urgently requested him to repro
duce the language as nearly as possible,
which he kindly consented to do:
1--WE are at the parting of the ways.
The traditions of the fathers are forgot
ten and the spirit of Imperialism is rife
in the land. Our hearts are quickened
by stories of conquest on land and sea.
We feel with mspeakable pride the
glory of American citizenship. The deeds
of American arms have taught us re-
newed love of country. Men of New
York and Carolina marched shoulder to
shoulder. in Il blaze of glory, up those
heights of Santiago, and the last embers
of sectional bitterness died out as the
sweet women of the North and the
South together weep for fallen heroes,
and are drawn together in the immortal
memories of those terrible days. /
much fear we shall pay too dearly for
our new vision of conquest On every
hand are darkened homes. Mourning and
desolation are spread over the land.
Who shall tell what the end shall be?
''As | speak there comes to ME the
image of one every inch II soldier. a man
from the crown of his head to the soes
Of his feet. tall, shapely, erect as an In
dian. with Il head like Grecian god
Il man with all the faculties of his nature
rounded into Il symmetry that shed a
glory on human nature-the immortal
Shipp-he that would have made our
ideal Brgader. Yet
There he lies With his blue eyes dim
''And his beautiful manly lips apart!
''All that is left of him here is the
priceless memory of Il lofty life-the herl-
tage better than gold,of Il proud hero that
passed unstained through the world; that
blessed with his influence while he lived,
and passed away in the supreme mo-
ment of earthly honor, with the con
seriousness of duty well done. amid the
admiration Of the world which recog-
niZes that the glory of English heroism
at Dargai pales before the record of
those fearless men of the New World.

bling sands

CONVENTION ECHOES.

What do we care what Butler does.s'
said Republican before leaving for his
nome IN Western county I'VE have
landed about all his crowd that is worth
having and we can get the balance by
giving them few county Offices"
Some Of the Prtchard RAIDS are laugh
ing at what they term Russell's discom-
iltnre. They say he is steaming mad
over the action of the convention. One
Republican declared that there was
hardly negro in the State of any promi-
nence who would no have received more
attention If he had walked into the con-
yention than Russell did 1t is stated that
the Irate Governor sent word to the
convention that he desired to appear be-
fore il and deliver Il speech, but the
convention would not have it. They pre-
ferred to wind the thing up with the
speech of the negro Congressman and
an immediate adjournment was had for
fear that Russell would put in an APP
pearance.
"Pritchard will never know what Il
bombardment he missed by not attend
ing the convention" said an Eastern Re
publican. Il myself know of fifty pie
hunters who came to the convention

paign for the Senate

mad and are right now building sulking

or an ayOwed candidate for some par

with perhaps one exception" said
a prominent Republican yesterday, "the
Democrats Of Wake county, if they
nominate good popular men. will elect
every man they put up and it would
not surprise me to see Il clean sweep
by Il big majority"
IF You Democrats with the decent
-office-holding Republicans and the
decent Populists to help you don't give
that hungry, pie-devouring gang n ter
rible bombarding this year." said prom
inent Republican visitor to the city;
then you ought TO go out of the bust
ness and never try to run another cam
paign.'
"There will be more negroes than
Democrats in the next Legislature,
said a colcred delegate from an Eastern
county. ''You Democrats may not like
it to be continued, but you have got to
stand it,

M.,. BAILEY HAS NOT RESINGED

Report that He Had Ceased to Be Il
Member of the. Board of Agriculture
Unfounded.
Mr.. J. w. Bailey when seen with re-
gard to the published reports that he had
rendered his resigna ton. as Il member Of
the Board of Agriculture. to Governor
Russell stated that the report was Il
mistake. He is still member of the
board and ms resignation has not been
rendered. In reply to n question he de-
cined to say whether it was his inten-
ton to resign or not. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Bailey's views have been widely
at variance with certain measures of the
board. but he has not felt called upon to
offer his resignation for that reason.

ON TO VICTORY.
THE WAKE COUNTY DEMOCRATS ARE DE-
TERMINED TO CARRY THE
COUNTY.
The County Convention Called on August 27t'
and the Primaries for August 18TH
A Big Meeting.

The Wake county Democrats, by the
aid of good men of other parties who are
tired,of the court house ring, are deter
mined to clean out the whole gang in No
vember.
There wasn't member of the county
executive committee present yesterday
and it was the largest and best meeting
held in years, who does not share the
faith that the days of the ring is num-
bered.
The failure of the sheriff to settle as
required by law, the bankruptcy of the
county treasury. the use of the schom
funds to pay county expenses. anu other
worse things recall the condition that
prevailed in part some years ago when
the Democrats made the campaign Oh
the shiboleth Lets take look at the
books" In view of this alone and other
facts. and the conflicting statements, the
taxpayers are getting anxious to take
a look ut the books and they will do so
on the first day of January next, if the
feeling at the reports made to the eXecu-
tive committee from all parts of the coun-
ty. is any index of popular sentiment.
The committee met ut noon at the
mayors office. Mr.. Armistead Jones.
chairman. presided. and Secretary j..
Wiley Jones was secretary of the meet
ing There was n large attendance and
a free interchange of views. The reports
were most encouraging. Not only are
former Democrats. who joined the Popu-
lists going to help drive out the court
house ring. but there are not few Re
m an Il Of
court house ring that hey will lend Il
hand.
There was no difference of opinion IS
to the best time for holding the conven-
ton, but it was finally settled to hold the
primaries on Friday. August 10Th. and
the convention on Saturday. August 9th.
There were those who desired to hold
.he convention earlier in August and
those who thought September 10th soon
enough. but the above date seemed to
give perfect satisfaction to all.
The following is the official call:
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVEN-
TION.
Raleigh \. c., July %, 1898.
At Il meeting of the Democratic Exc
cutive Committee of Wake County held

mating candidates for the Legislature

ment of AngloSaxon supremacy and
