several varieties being over-ripe when
opened"
The Gilpin and York Imperial re-
ferred to in the list were collected by
Mr.. Moses Cone, in Watauga county.
and credit is due him for his excellent

confidently expected that Premier

PEOPLE CELEBRATE VICTORY
OVER THE DISPENSARY.
Greensboro. n. c.. Aug. 4.--Complete
returns from the white primary on the
dispensary have been received from all
the precincts. 1t was apparent early
Thursday evening that the dispeDsary
had been overwhelmingly defeated.
The majority is sufficient to satisfy the
most extreme opponent of the institu-
tion.
AS stated, light vote was polled in
the primary, even here in Greensboro,
where interest in the subject has been
greatest. People who had been very
pronounced in their views failed to
vote on either side of the question,
while some who had declared them
selves as faYoring one side voted for
the other.
In Greensboro the majority against
the dispensary is IL; in High Point.

majority of 702 and will give q fair idea

Those who oppose the measure in
Greensboro were, OF course, highly
elated over their victory. They gave
vent to their joy and celebrated hi
lariously. The Gate City Band was

THE STATE REDEEMED.
NORTH CAROLINA RETURNS TO
OLD LANDMARKS.

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 3.-Now that the
election IS over and the people free
from the tremendous strain incident
thereto, they are enjoying a we'll
earned season of quiet rejoicing. North
Carolina has returned to old land
marks. namely, the supremacy of and
rule by the white people. BY white
people" I mean the Democracy of the
State, for be it known that in the Re-
publican and Populist ranks the ne
groes are in the majority, and, with
exceptions here and there, the white
members of these parties are black in
political principle. For the negro race
pity is expressed by the victors. The
following words of Democratic State
Chairman Simmons voices the senti-
ments of Democrats generally:
There is no animosity on the part
OF Democrats towards the negro. We
simply want him to know, and intend
ne shall know, his place. If his mis-
cradle white allies, who seek to use
him to ride into office, would let him
alone, he and the white people would
get along we'll enough together"
FEELING OF THANKFULNESS
The Democrats of the State are
thankful for their escape from further
negro domination. and have no fears
of O return of that evil. The fran
chise amendment to the constitution,
adopted Thursday, renders white SUI
premacy in the control of the affairs
or the State hereafter n certainty.

ton and possessed of no independence

ored to ride into Office and power on
the shoulders of these negroes. There

Hon. j. d. Bellamy:
Sir--You are quoted in the Raleigh
morning papers as saying In a speech
at Wilmington yesterday that the
Democrats should ''forcibly expel" me
from the State. Do you mean that you
feel 1T your duty to forcibly expel me
from the State, or do you mean that
some one else should do it? Do you
mean that one man should undertake
1t. or that a. cowardly, lawless mob
should do 1t?
Now. If you think I should be ex-
PEELED from the State. 1 suggest that
you undertake the job yourself. You
are one man, and 1 am one man. IL
you mean what you say, and have any
courage Except when you have a mob
of red shirts behind YOU'D, I suggest that
expelling business at once. If you have
not the courage to undertake this job,
then 1 suggest that you have the de-
cency to keep your mouth shut.
Respectfully,
MARION BUTLER,
Chairman.
Mr.. Bellamy did not wait long to die
tate an answer to this insulting letter.
but wrote at once this brief and ex-
pressive letter. which was mailed yes
terday:

serve a reply, as 1 shall not befoul my
self by having a controversy with the

THE LATE ELECTION.
1T CANNOT BE REACHED BY IN

For some days it has been rumored
that in their desperation, the Black
and-Tan managers would endeavor to
get some reckless judge to issue some
proceeding in the nature of an injunc-
ton in order to interfere with or pre-
vent the election.

that the judges have no power to is
sue such process Even without any
statute on the subject the courts have
held that the function of election Off

PosToFFIcE RECEIPTS.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN HELPED
UNCLE SAM.

The Raleigh Post says:
The Raleigh postoffice broke the rec
ords during the month of July.
The receipts during the month at the
office were s4,S25. The receipts for
July in 1899 were s3,16s and for the
same month in 1898 they were s3.o42
The big showing made by the post
Office is due in large measure to the
mailing of campaign literature. Over
10000 pounds OF second class mail mat
ter was handled by the Office force. not
including congressional records and
frank matter, which was sent out in
great quantities.
The force in the postoffice handled
this increased amount of mail with less
than $40 additional cost to the govern
ment. The force has worked over time
to handle this big mail and accommo-
date the regular business of the office,
which is constantly growing. Post
master Bailey is giving the city an up
to-date service. -

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 4.-Raleigh is
still rejoicing over the discomforture
of the Republican, opulist combine.
They were buried beneath the great
landslide Thursday, and will never
again rally in North Carolina. They
are practically dead! dead! dead!!!
A few white Republicans may here
after get pap in the shape of Federal
patronage, and u few slip into State
and county Offices in the Republican
counties. but even these will be few
and far between.
we have elected our State ticket.
We have elected both branches OF the
Legislature.
We have carried the amendment to
the constitution which will dlsfran-
ohlse at least 10000 negroes until they
qualify themselves to vote.
We did all these things by majority
OF about 10000. The official count may
either reduce or increase these figures,
but not to any great extent.
AS said before. the election was very
hsticuff here and there. No one was
seriously hurt.
BANNER COUNTIES.
Mecklenburg, Edgecomb and Robe
son are the banner counties so far as
tho vote on the constitutional amend
ment Is concerned. Each gave it $500
majority. New Hanover ranking sec
ond with 3,01S. There will be only two
Populists in the Legislature, both from
Senator Buffers county. Sampson.
Senator Butler is here. He has kept
very quiet to-day.
THE STATE FOR BRYAN.
There was some talk to-day about
national politics. This grew out of a
rumor that Senator Butler had declar-
ed North Carolina's electoral vote
should be cast for Mckinley. Chair
man Simmons said at Democratic head
quarters tonight that the States vote
would be cast for Bryan beyond per-
adventure.
RELIEVED FROM DUTY.
The local military who were ordered
on duty Tuesday afternoon by Cover
nor Russell were relieved from duty ut
noon to-day.
BALL WAS PARAMOUNT.
1t was rather strange that with poll
tice running as high as it has been
here that Thursday night when the re-
turns We're coming in baseball ranked
over politics. Baseball cranks were
wild over the defeat of the Durham
team by the Raleighites. Durham had
been ahead of Raleigh, and on yester-
day put up $1,000 against the Raleigh
team. Raleigh people came to the
front, and fully $50 boarded n special
train 10 durham yesterday afternoon.
The 1000 was Withdrawn when that
crowd reached Durham. No roofing
had ever been seen there before. and the
team won by a score of l to o. and
were borne to the depot on the Shout
dcrs of their hackers.
INTERESTING BIT OF NEWS.
very interesting lot OF news re-
garding the appointment of Hon.
James Boyd MS judge was picked up
to-day. 1t was to the effect that Prit-
chard expects to be reelected to the
Senate. but that If things ever went
against him he was to get this judge
Ship that it was the plan, made
months ago. that no appointment was
to be made until after the August
election. perhaps not even until after
the November election. But Boyd was
put in early. Now the question arises
is the Administration out" with SEN
ator Pritchard or was the appointment
made with String" to it. so that
when Pritchard wants to go in, two
years hence. Boyd will retire?

Henry P. Wellman, through his at
torney, Clarke G. Fits, has brought
suit against the town of Newfane for
$4,000 for personal injuries which he re-
ceived in October of last year because
of a defective bridge in that town.
The so-called bridge was a sluice about
70 rods north of the covered bridge
across West River on the road to
Brookline. Mr.. Wellman alleges that
on Oct. IL, the floor of the bridge con-
sisted of thin, poor and rotten plank
ing, through which was a large hole.
On that day he was driving two
horses across the bridge when one of
the horses stepped through the hole
and was thrown down. Mr. Wellman
alleged that he was thrown out upon
the bridge and the ground and that
his right leg was cut, bruised, etc.,
that his right side was bruised and
damned, that his back was bruised and
that his spine was strained and
sprained, as a result of which he suf-
fers from bodily pain and loss of
sleep, is unable to perform labor and
that he has paid out $500 for nursing
and medical attendance.
