The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-11-06

White men assured me that Lenoir would
give a safe majority for white suprem-
acy. 1t has had experience with negro
rule and is tired Of it. Many OF the
blacks have decided to vote for white
officers.
Goldsboro Is in Wayne county, which
Is absolutely safe for ae whites. EX-
element runs high at Goldsboro. There
was a clash between the races on
small scale last night but nobody was
seriously hurt. The fight was with
clubs and fists. Wayne county is con-
ceded TO those representing the White
Mans Union.
Not far from GOldsboro Is Wilson coun-
ty. I'm which is situated the thriving 1T
tie city OF Wilson. II is a great tobacco
market wilson county IS one that Is
somewhat in doubt, but Mr. c. G, Daniels
and Mr.. w s. Woodward, two Of the
Democratic leaders said there party
would carry It at any cost Big ship
ments Of firearms have been made In the
last few days from Richmond 10 this
place The negro deputy sheriff was pa
rading the streets to-day in his buggy

BUTLER DIDN'T COME.
Marion Butler. one Of the most des-
pised men among the whites Of Eastern

speak at Wilson to-day. An old college
mate wrote him a letter in friendly
spirit advising that he stay away. But
Ter was told that he would not be al
lowed TO speak II he should come. lie
replied 10 the letter in the same spirit
IN which IL was written. lie said he
would go TO Fayetteville instead Of TO
Wilson. II was not generally known
that he was not coming, ana big
crowd was at the depot when the train
on which he was expected arrived. lie
had his friends in the audience, but there
were others there to quietly inform him
that he had better shake the dust OF
Wilson from his feet. Butler is a man
of some ability. He makes good stump
speech, but, next TO Governor Russell
he is now the most unpopular maH in
the State.
Wilson is not far from Halifax, a ne
gro accursed county. The kitchins re-
side there, and there is no doubt as TO
how Halifax will vote. BY the way
heard to-day that the negro registrar,
Steptoe, who swore out the warrant
against the Kitchins. would not be per-
mitted TO return TO Halifax The people
are so indignant If he should go back. TO
hse a North Carolina expression, "The
coroner will have TO be called in"
BAR ROOMS TO CLOSE.
The situation in Wilmington Is practi-
callv unchanged IL was decided to-day
IN order the bar rooms closed from 1880
o'clock tonight until a. NJ. Thursday
This will go far towards preventing trou-

The Democrats are absolutely sure OF
the House Of Representatives and they
have little doubt that they Will capture
the Senate. II IS very important for them
that they control both branches or the
Legislature one hears but little about
congressman. They are being sacrificed
wherever possible for county officers and
members of the Legislature.
The Democrats expect 10 carry the
State by from 10000 TO 10000 majority on
the total vote for members of the Lesis-
lature.
The newspaper men who ended their
campaign here to-day have been every
where handsomely treated There are no
people who can beat the North Caro-
linians on hospitality. Last night az
Newbern Mr.. James A. Bryan entertained
the correspondents at a splendid banquet
Very little business viii he done TN
eastern North Carolina Monday and prac-
tically all places will be closed Tuesday
Election day cannot pass without many
tragedies. T. H. ~
