offices to be parcelled out, and why
shouldn't they parcel them and save the
voters the trouble?
To such method of making nomina-
tions it is just possible that the fellow
who is expected to do the electing may
object. He may ask himself the ques-
ton, what constitutes the Republican
party? Does it consist of the voters who
must give it whatever victory it achieves?
Or does it belong, body boot and

Buck Adams and Ham Jones and Pat

the custodians of it's principles and the

have nothing to do with it.

TRYING TO CAPTURE
THE LEGISLATURE
The Scheme of the Negro
Champions.
To 0FFFAT AMFNDMFNT
TO DEFEAT AMENDMENT
Doing Most of Their Work in the
Close Counties.
CHAIRMAN SIMMONS TALKS OF THE PLAN
He Says That if The Fusionsts Can Get Control
Of the Legislature They Will Throw
Out Trough Votes to Defeat
the Amendment.

Chairman Simmons, after a short
absence, returned to the city this ev-
ening.
Talking to reporter about the po-
litical situation, he said it was evil
dent that the Republicans and their
allies, the Pritchard Populists, were
making their fight chiefly to capture
the Legislature. The most of their
work is being done in the close coun-
ties. and Senatorial districts of the
West and the white counties of the
East. They are paying very little
attention to the strong Democratic
counties or the black counties. They
don't hope to defeat the Amendment
at the polls, but they are using the
Amendment to stir up as much preJu-
dice as they can and to mislead the
uneducated white voter, hoping there
by to strengthen their legislative
ticket.
Continuing, Mr.. Simmons said he
had discovered well laid plan on the
part of the Fusionists to defeat the
<AlleIlUHlcHt, even lllOuSH lHC PCoPiS
may give it an overwhelming ma
jority at the polls. To carry out their
plan, however, they will have to Sc
cure control of the Legislature. The
plan. said Mr.. Simmons, is this:
IF they can capture the Legisla-
ture, when that body comes to can
vass the vote for the Amendment,
they will have it to throw out the
entire vote of county after county
upon some ''trumped up" charge
of fraud or intimidation, until it has
thrown out enough votes to overcome
the majority for the Amendment and
then it will declare that it has been
defeated. They will throw out the
vote from nearly every county in the
Second and Sixth districts that may
give majority for the Amendment;
and, if that is not enough, they will
throw out until they get enough.
''Of course" said Mr.. Simmons, 'ithe
plan will not work, because they will
never get the Legislature; but that
such plan should have been dis
cussed and agreed upon. as | am re-
liably informed this one has been by
the Fusionists. shows how utterly
reckless and defiant to the will of
the people this corrupt combination

NEWCASTLE, VA, Dec. 5.--NIrs. Sarah

her the little sketch of her young days
she was greatly amused ana became REM

Some of her inquisitive neishbors, Just

1t was in her extreme old age that Mrs

of the old colonial homes of Virginia IN
Roanoke, or Botetourt county, as 1t was
then. When DR.. Thomas Wharton visited
his brothers family, i'll company with his
youns wife, they then had the pleasure
of knowing the old gentleWoman, Mrs.
Dix. She was a small woman, Mrs. Ham

mast ninety years of age. She had been
blind for thirty years, but her memory
was excellent and she appreciated her

very fond Of her and as he was HIM
self very fond of history he prepared
some extracts from her conversations for

.kANALO IS ORGANIZED
DELINQUENT. STOCK BOUGHT BY
THE COMPANY.
Colonel Fisher Auctions 1t Off-Small
Spectators Disappointed at the
Figures 1t Brought.

Nearly all of the Iiamalo stock put
up at auction today was bought by the
Kamalo Sugar Company. A meeting
of the directors of the company was
held last night, and it was decided
that none of the stock should be allow
ed to go for less than the assessments
paid on it. AS a result, a lot of people
who gathered in Colonel Fishers office
at noon, expecting that they would
have chances to get some stock on
spec" for practically nothing, We're
disappointed. Sales at ten cents a
share were talked Of and those who
went to the auction remembered hold
ers who had been giving their stock
away. 1t was different when the sale
began, however.
The company is about to carry out
its plan of reducing the capitaliza-
tion of the corporation, and the direc-
tors think that they are beginning to
see their way out of the troubles that
have been hanging over the planta-
tion for so many months. The buying
of the stock this morning was a part
of the plan to reduce the capitalization.
Only about $500 shares We're left to
be auctioned when the sale began, all
the other delinquent shares having
been paid up, since the recent settle
ment of the stockholders suit. George
Carter was present for the board and
bid the same amount for every block
put up. Once or twice bidders went
over him, but he usually got the stock
with little delay. Larry Dee, who has
stuck close to Kamalo all through,
bought a few shares at an advance
over the company's bids, and Harry
Evans also got some.

MILE MORRIS WRECKED
ANOTHER ISLAND SCHOONER IN
TROUBLE.
Henry Macfarlane Tries to Telephone to
Kanedhe for Particulars, and Then
Runs for a Train.

a telephone message from Kaneohe
this morning reported the island
schooner Mile Morris wrecked at Ka-
neohe harbor. The schooner left here
yesterday to round the island with
general cargo for various points. She
was in command of a South Sea island
er, who has been working on island
vessels for many years. The Mile Nor
ris is owned by Henry Macfarlane.
The schooner is said to be beyond
rescue, having struck coral as she tried
TO enter the lagoon. Inside the lagoon
is only mud, but the entrance is one
not easy to pass. There was a high
wind shorewards last night, and it is
supposed that she was driven too close
in shore.
AS soon as news of the accident was
received Henry MaCfarlane began to try
and get particulars. He employed a
telephone with the result that he con-
Cluded that a train was quicker After
trying to get connection for a long
time, he went to the railroad depot and
started for the other side of the island,
while people he left behind kept up the
battle with central. They have all Civ
en- up now, and have realized that the
quickest way to get the full details Of
the wreck is to wait until Mr. Macfar-
lane gets back.
The Mile Morris was built here and
has been in the island trade for four
or five years. She carries about fifty
tons. She was commanded by Captain
Martin until a few weeks ago, when he
retired to take the place of watchman
on the Sebastian Bach.
