RACE WAR IMMINENT.
Negroes and Whites Throughout North
Carolina Armed In Anticipation
of n Conflict.

Wilmington, n. c., Oct. 25.-Practi-
celly every man, white and black. in
this whole state is armed, and only
the urgent counsel of the most con-
servative white men has prevented a
race war of appalling proportions.
The trouble has been brewing for
two years, ever since some negroes
were elected to Office. The blacks,
clothed with little authority, grew
insolent and offensive, white people
say. Those who had no Office followed
suit. They became overbearing and
aggressive to such an extent that
white women and girls, in the cities
and towns especially, can no more
venture from their homes alone
through fear of certain insult or possi-
bic injury.
The appointment of many negroes to
federal and state offices has tended to
increase the friction between the races.
1t is impossible TO convey in words the
intensity of the excitement found
throughout the state. Politics cuts but
little figure in the situation.

Had Two Accomplices.

A Helena special says there may be a
triple hanging as the outcome of the
murder OF Frank Dubarry, of Latour,
and the cremation of his body in his
house October Sth. The grand jury in
dicted Charlie Mum, the self-confessed
murderer, and he sent for the sheriff
for the purpose of telling him that he
had two accomplices. According to
Mum, John Davis and Philip Golden,
two negroes living in the neighhorhood.
joined him in the plot, and were with
him and assisted in the killing Davis
and Golden secured SIT in money and
Dubarry's pistol as their share of the
booty. This was the story Mum told
the sheriff, but not much credence was
given it until an officer arrested Davis
and Golden, and, searching them, found
Dubarry's pistol on the former.

Deputy United States Marshall Hol-
man came in with several moonshiners
from Howard county. They had sur
rendered and wanted to make peace
with Uncle Sam. Heretofore the Judge
lectures them, holds the sentence up
over their heads and let's them go home
on promise of good behavior, which
they do not always keep. but manage
to have some one else between them
and the government to catch the next
lecture and a return home. If few of
these gentlemen were sent to the peni-
tentiary and not have the milk of
human kindness passed to them so
freely, the moonshine business would
be thing of the past.

of prominent citizens of Atlanta, Ca.
called at the White House and invit-
ed President Mckinley to attend the
peace jubilee to be held in that city
in the near future. The date for the
celebration has not yet been decided
upon, the committee informing the
president that the date would depend
on his convenience. The president ex-
pressed his earnest desire to make the
trip, but stated that it was not like
ly, owing to the pressure of public
business, that he would be able to
leave Washington before December IS.
The committee thereupon informed
the president that the celebration
would be fixed at that date. as it was
greatly desired by the people of the
state that he should be present.
