Young Ollie Dockery was called for.
He very correctly told the convention he
thought the best thing he could do was
to say very few words or nothing at
all.
With this introduction he launched oil
into sophomore defamation in which
there was not a sentence worth the quot
ing. His remarks were punctuated by
windmill gesticulations with his arms
and horse-ike stampings upon the floor.
I'VE must win in next November or
our Liberties are gone and gone forever
was his closing remark.
After an announcement by Loge Har-
ris that Butler would speak in this city,
the aggregation adjourned, and the anti
niger convention, passed into history.

WANTED TO HEAR JIM.

A negro now came to Loge Harris and
whispered that they wanted to hear from
Jim Young. Loge stopped and Jim
began.
In the course of his remarks the onliest
niger colonel said:
when the News and Observer tells
the tale Of this convention. it must tell
that n white ticket from top to bottom
has been put up. The men nominated
by the Republicans are as white as the
men named by the Democrats. The men
we've put up can't be cartooned by the
News and Observer as niggers."
This brought forth storms of applause
from those present; but when he told
them they had not sacrificed any particle
of their manhood, they were deathly
silent as clans, for the second time dur
ing the day.
Jim then went on to tell about the
caucus in the court house. lie Gated
it II love-feast and said the thrill Of We
tory was in the air.

Then Jim explained about that inspec-
ton he made of the blind institution in

The convention was advised, to keep
an eye on the Legislature and above all
not let the Democrats get it.

Gidcon's Band was in attendance on
the convention, but it occupied back

would have added much to the gayicty
of the occasion, but he was afraid it

SPANISH RELICS.
Wood From Cervera's Flagship Present

Wood From Cervera's Flagship Present
ed to the Sons of the Revolution.
The North Carolina Society of the
Sons of the Revolution has just received
two interesting relics of the late naval
victory near Santiago. These are pieces
of wood from the ''Infanta Maria
Teresa" Admiral Cervera's flagship, aud
were presented by Ensign y. A. Nc
Kethan, IT, s. n, formerly of Fayett@-
Vile. who is member of the Sons of
the Revolution. The wood is to be made
into a gavel for the Society.
Ensign McKeathan's ship, the so
lace" is now at the New York Navy
Yard. having lately returned from Gu
ban waters. Referring to the souvenirs,
he says:
'The small block of pine is a piece of
the flagstaff of the 'Infanta Maria
Teresa flagship of Admiral Ceryera,
which was commanded by Captain
Concas, flag-captain of the Admiral.
This piece of the Flagstaff was present
ed to me by Ensign Olmsted, of the In
diana who obtained the whole staff ON
July Bird. while picking up the wounded.
THE Teresa led the column out and
was beached nearest the MORO, in Il cove
about seven miles to the westward of
Santiago.
The long burnt piece is part of the
bridge-rail of the flagship. obtained by
me while on board during our last trip.
1t was hard to obtain any long or
thick wood as the ship suffered terribly
from fire.
Captain Concas was afterwards II
wounded prisoner on board this ship until
our arrival in Norfolk, when he was
sent North"
The portion of the bridge rail- to which
Ensign Mcclellan alludes, is made Of
black walnut 1t plainly shows the cf-
feet of the fire, having been entirely
burned away from the body Of the ship
After it reached Raleigh, while portion
of the charred wood was being scrapcd
off, small fragment of metal was dis
covered imbeded in it. which evidently
found its way there during the battle.
= .e Society will have this wood made
into handsome gavel for use by its pre-
siding officer.
These relics are now in the possession
of Mr.. Marshall Delaney Haywood.
lie will have the gavel made this week.
