Aulander, n. c., July 24.-This has
been a red letter day in the counties of
BERTHE, Hertford and Northampton. The
speeches of Aycock and Winston at
Ahoskey on yesterday drew thousands
here today and no where in the State
has a braver and better citizenship as
sembled to hear the one great issue dis
cussed. BY sunrise this lovely country
village began to fill up with people. The
first arrival was from beyond Seaboard
in Northampton county, distance ~
more than forty miles. The next conner
was Chairman Jesse b. Stokes, OF Bertie
county, under whose auspices this great
meeting was projected.
The town is one picturesque scene OF
flags and bunting and many suggestive
and appropriate notices are hung across
the street. 'Aycock and the Amend
ment," LET White Supremacy prevail
and Good Government is Ours "Kitchin
for Congress- and the Star of White
Supremacy has risen and the sun OF Ne
gro Rule has set" were very attractive
notices hung around the speakers stand
Such suggestive notices as Give them
the devil Charley" and "The Rep. Show
and Pop Side -show-one admission" were
carried in the procession. The town by
10 o'clock was fun of as sober, orderly
and patriotic crowd as ever assembled
in the State More than thousand brave
and beautiful women came to plead for
a happier and more peaceful life.
From the red Roanoke and the broad
Chowan and the ruby wine-like Cashie
the sturdy white men came with but one
settled and determined purpose and that
was that never again should an abject and
impersonal mass OF voters dominate this
section but that the white man. repre-
sentation of virtuous homes, purer citi-
zenship and decent government should
rule the State
The procession formed under the lead
ership of DR.. w. j. Harrell chief mar
shall, assisted by a hundred assistants
from the adjoining counties, was most
imposing. The marshals were at the head
of the marching column, the Wilson Cor
net Band came next with patriotic airs
and then followed the main feature of the
days meeting, the Windsor Naval Re-
serves, Captain ]. T. Smithwlck, in COM
mand These gentlemen were much ad-
mired and their soldierly bearing and
Z splendid department won them many en-
coniums The speakers followed in car
riages, Hon. c. b. Aycock and Francis ID.

one carriage, and Hons s. l.. Patterson
and e. e. Hilliard and Hon. c. w. Mitch
ell, chairman of the meeting in an
other. Then followed Hon. S. J. Calvert,
candidate for the Senate, and Hon. Geo.
Bishop, ex-senator from Northampton.
The procession was then completed with
persons in carriages and buggies and on
foot. complete circuit OF the main
streets was made.

and presented Hon. s. l.. Patterson, who

dience and then he presented the next

take to describe the scene. Brave men
who have stood for the glory and honor
and integrity Of the State leaned forward
TO catch the utterances OF the man who
Is leading them to q better citizenship At
least five thousand people heard him. He
sent q message of hope and peace to many
a home that was darkened by fear and
danger. He gave an inspiring life to
the hearts of brave men who have longed
for the coming of this day. He brought
them the joyous glad acclaim OF the whole
people of the State and at the end of his
great oration he found before him a uni
ted audience and the representatives OF
half dozen counties who are determined
that rule of the white man begins from
this hour. II was great meeting. The
womanhood and manhood of the State in
it's best type was there, the sturdy people
that have made North Carolina great
and good.
The three counties will all go for the
amendment.
The absence of Hon. Locke Craig was
universally regretted His presence at
the adjourned session of the Legislature
kept him in Raleigh. He was born in
BERTHE county and hundreds Of her citizens
came many miles today to hear him.
These people love him and will always
delight to hear him.
Hon. Francis ID. Winston was also
called from the meeting to his duties in
Raleigh. The opposition is using every
form OF intimidation and falsehood to
arouse the negroes and to keep the white
men from voting for the amendment.
The latest dodge comes from good au-
thority. The Rep-Pop. leaders are adj
vsing the cooks and laborers to leave
the employment OF all who vote for the
measure. The white people here are bold
and determined. Neither threat nor
court can scare them. Counsel, funds
and friends are ready on every hand to
protect and defend the election officers.
This eastern country is we'll organized.
The people will not break the law. They
are equally determined to quel with a
firm hand all disturbances and to deal
with the law-breaker promptly and vigor-
ously. Aycock and Patterson go to Nash
vile tomorrow.
Too much credit ca mot be given
Chairman Slater, Hon. c. w. Mitchell,
DR.. w. J. Harrell, Alex. Lasster and
two hundred other good citizens who
assisted for the success of the meeting.
Dinner in abundance was served. This

Much good was done and the result here

Skagway, Alaska, July 16.-(Via Seattle,
Washn., July 24)-The work of delimiting
the provisional boundary in the disputed
Alaska Canadian territory having been
completed in that part crossing the Dali
ton trail and touching the Porcupine dis
trict, the Americans in the district find
that they have lost large part Of what
they believe was rightfully American ter
ritory.
The survey and demarkation of the
line leaves nearly one half of the Porcu-
pine gold mines in the British territory
and it has been the general opinion for
a long time that the mines and in fact
the entire Porcupine district were on the
American side. Much of the Dalton toll
road leading to Porcupine City now lies
within Canadian territory also, that is,
on the Canadian side of the Iron monu-

Two special sessions of the Legis-
lature have been held this year and
still a third will be held.
The first one met on June 18th and
lasted three days. Nearly all the Demo
cratic members were present ana
some changes were made in the pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment, the
election law was perfected and some
legislation of immediate Importance
was passed.
The second special session met at
noon Yesterday and lasted half an
hour. There were but a handful OF
members present. The only business
transacted was the passage of a reso-
luton in regard to adjournment, set
forth above.
The third session is called to meet
here at noon, on July Goth, two days
before election.
The purpose of the Democratic ma
iority in adiourning over to that date
is set forth in the following resolu-
tions adopted in Joint caucus yester-
day lust before the meeting of the
two Houses:
Whereas, it is the sense of this cau-
Gus that the Legislature should not now
be finally adjourned because it is known
that certain politicians in North Caro-
lima are now engaged in conspiracy
to unlawfully interfere with and, If
possible, to prevent by judicial usurpa-
tion the people holding the cleo
tion heretofore duly and legally called
to be held on the End day of August,
1900,
And whereas. 1t is our duty to the
people of the State, whose representa-
tives we are, to hold ourselves in po-
sition to thwart this conspiracy and to
protect the people in their Constitutional
rights, and to deal in such manner as
the law authorizes with all such officers
of the State as may lend themselves to
the furtherance of this conspiracy; there
fore be it
Resolved, by the Democratic members
of the General Assembly, in joint eau
Gus.
First, That the General Assembly

again in the city of Raleigh on the 30th
day of July, 1900.
Second That at said adjourned session,

legislation shall be passed. changing in.

Amendment as submitted by the General
Assembly at its session held in June,

One of the peculiarities of Lord
Kitchener is that he never mentions
himself, says a contributor to Mainly
About People. I heard the other day,
however, of the one exception he ever
made to this rule. It was in Egypt,
and they were on the hunt for an i'm
portant sheik, whose capture was for
the moment of vital Importance. When
Kitchener had given a full description
of the sheik, somebody still expressed
a doubt as to whether they would ever
be able to recognize the man amid the

which are the common wear in the

Antics of a Palace Car.

A remarkable accident happened on
the incoming International passenger
train the other day when within ten
miles of Laredo. The train was COM
ing down a steep grade, running 40
miles an hour, when the Pullman rear
coach, because of spreading of the
rails, left the track, ran the length of
two telegraph poles outside of the
crossties, was jerked back across to
the other side of the track and ran for
some distance at an angle of Is degrees
on 20 foot embankment. When a
culvert 20 feet across was reached, the
Pullman returned to the track and
crossed on the crossties, cutting nearly
every one of them in two pieces. Four
telegraph poles beyond the culvert was
a switch, upon which the Pullman re-
gained the rails just as the engineer sue
ceeded in bringing his train to a stand
still. The Pullman was full of passen-
gers, and not one of them was hurt
