A sumptuous feast nad been pre-

was told sad story in connection
with this requirement. A young
woman who loved her husband very
dearly and who dared to express her
affection before her mother-in-law,
was overwhelmed with such cruel
reproaches by the latter, who was
jealous of her sons love for his wife,
that the poor creature believed herself
dishonored and promptly hanged her
self.

More than Real

A mimic battle Of Manila,
which was r2ceatly given as an
entertainment on the Allegheny
river, in Pittsburg, actually turn-
ed out to be more disastrous than
was the real fight to the Amer-
leans at Luzon.. In some way the
explosives which were to add
grandeur to the scene, failed to
work and several men were sent
out in a skiff to adjust them. The
bomb, which was intended to
blow up Spanish ship, prema-
turely exploded under the boat
in which the men were working
and two were instantly killed,
while third was terribly
wounded.

WHY.
The So called Popu'ist Hand
Book is Silent on the Subject
of Five Cent Cotton.

The people have been looking
and listening looking carefully,
week by week, over Populist
papers-Caucasian, Progressive
Farmer, Home Rule and others
fer denuncia ton Of the Mes
Kinley-Russell administration on
account of FIvE-CENT COTTON.
They have listened for some of
the Fusion speakers to denounce
the present gold bug plutocratic
government in behalf Of the poor
farmers on account of fve-cent
cotton
They have looked and listened
in vain. Cotton is not only sells
ing fer five cents, the best grades,
but the commoner grades are
selling for two cents less per
pound,
Twenty dollars per bale is the
price the best cotton is selling
for, and yet not a word Of com
plant from Thorn mpsop, or Ram
sey, or Aver, Or The Progressive
Farmer, or The Caucasian.
Why? do you ask?
Are not these patriots in "cos
hoot" with the Mckinley Rus
sell administrations? Are they
not struggling to keep these in
power, regardless Of the poor
farmer, or 6ve-cent cotton, or
white supremacy, or honesty. or
decency in government?
They may think the farmers
are not thinking of these things;
but we venture they will think
of them when they go to sell
their cotton. These gentry told
the farmers that the Democrats
caused the low price Of cotton in
1896, and promised better il they
were put in power. Cotton sold
for more than six cents in 1896,
and is selling for five cents and
less in 1898. The farmer can't be
fooled all the time.

What A POpulist Who Has

Fusion,
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
Mr.. ". F. Edwards, Of Lemon
Springs, Moore county, is one of
the many Populists who have
quit the party since its leaders
have openly aud shamele ssly sold
it out to the negro party. In a
recent letter to a feiend in Ra-
leigh, he says:
Il have been a Populist since
the party started, but the party
has row gone into negro su-
premacy, and it has nauseated
me so that I am again in the
Democratic party for better gov
ernment and white supremacy.
Hundreds here in Moore county
have become nauseated. and if
we will now use the proper ef-
forts, Moore county is bound to
go Democratic in November"
Two weeks ago when we de.
clared that many Populists were
quitting the party because it had
been made an assistant in corrupt
rule, the Re- popsli-can organs
defed Us to give their names.
Day by day this has been done,
until they are sorry now that
they gave the challenge. The
truth is that almost within sight
Of the Capitol we could priat the
names of an even hundred men
in Raleigh and the adjoinin g
townships who have become dis
gusted az seeing Republicans
control all their conventions and

moved the property and educational

scorn and contempt which an open
