ARGo AND P0U AT APEX.
Two Speeches That Won Many Votes for the
Amendment
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Apex, N. c., July "wednesday was
red letter day for the amendment at
this place.
Col Thomas NJ. Argo, OF Raleigh, ex-
planned the necessity for workings and eff
fects of the amendment from White Re-
publican stand point, to an audience con-
sisting of over 500 white voters. His
argument was clear and to the point,
based upon facts showing the constitu-
tionality of the proposed amendment.
He convinced his audience that to avert
corruptions and bloodshed the amend
ment was essential and necessary, ex
planning to the doubtful that it was not
the purpose, and declaring that no white
man would be DISTINGUISHED. Col. Argo
added much strength to the amendment
at this place.
After dinner Mr.. Z. w. Pou made a
speech of two hours, which was a vote
winner. Mr.. Pou did not mince words,
and called a spade a spade. He told the
negro that it was the intention of the
amendment to disfranchise him, and that
were it in their power, the Democratic
party would willingly disfranchse every
one of them. He declared that the white
men would no longer submit to the out
RACES of negro rule, and that "CuGfy'
might make arrangements to take back
seat. Picturing the condition of the ne
gro race and his incompetency as an
clector, Mr.. Pou has a standing reward of
$500 for proof of any white man who
has been disfranchised by the amendments
of Louisiana or South Carolina, which are
similar to the proposed amendment of
North Carolina. This reward he has
offered from the mountains to the sea,
and as yet he still has the FLYER" in his
pocket. He convinced the people that
North Carolina is the only State South
of Maryland in which the negro is al
lowed to run the government, and ex-
planned that unless this measure was car
ried that we would be overrun with
negroes from other States. His speech was
full of enthusiasm, and held his audience
spell bound, many voters who from the
like of information might have voted
otherwise were thoroughly convinced,
first of the constitutionality; second, that
no white man will be disfranchised; third,
of the necessity for the amendment
Altogether, both speeches were master
pieces of truth and eloquence. Many
new names were added to the Apex White
Supremacy Club, and the township will
give good majority for the amendment
and the Democratic ticket.
At the close OF Mr.. Pou's speech our
own candidate for the House of Repre-
sentatives, Mr.. John p. Pearson, made
a short talk, which showed that he is
made of the right "stuff." The gentlemen
who had preceded him has covered all the
available ground of argument therefore
a long speech from him could only have
been a reiteration of his predecessors
He is as we already know, friend of the
people, and will make them an ideal
representative. Always seeking to do the
will of the masses Instead of catering
to the wishes of dirty politicians, he will
use his influence to elevate politics to a
higher plane.

THE FOURTH" IN SCOTLAND NECK.
Three Thousand People Heard the Amendment
Discussed at Laurel Hill
Especial to The News and Observer

Especial to The News and Observer
Laurinburg, n. c., July 6.-Scotland
county is proud of her Fourth of July
celebration. The Democratic rally and
picnic held Wednesday at Laurel Hill,
three miles north of town was decided
success. The crowd was variously esti-
mated at from two thousand five hundred
to three thousand. Every man was wear
ing a White Supremacy button and we
venture the assertion that no assem-
blage in the State was in more hearty
sympathy for the success of the amend
ment election. One noticeable feature of
this great gathering was the large num-
Der of ladies present They prepared a
sumptuous dinner and came for miles and
miles in floats and buggies, carriages,
wagons and every style of conveyance.
They manifested the keenest interest in
the amendment discussions, and as one
of the peakers remarked there could be
no doubt of it's adoption, if the ladies
could take hand in the voting.
The crowd was addressed in the morn
ing by Col. A. M. Waddell, of Whining
ton. We will not do Col Waddell the
injustice to attempt to give anything like
a detailed account of his great speech
lie reviewed III II SIdpUlC uldHUGI INC
horrible conditions existing in Whining
ton when the negroes had control of the
city. He emphasized the fact that the
amendment was not so much a partisan
measure, but that it was a measure that
drew the line as it has never been drawn
before. He called upon white men to KEEP
their eye on white men that lined III
with the negroes in the August election
and force them to remain there for 81
time to come.
In the afternoon the crowd was ad
dressed by w. II. Neal, J. d. Shaw an(
the county candidates. One thing in con
nection with this meeting that deserves
mention here was the announcement tina

atoms to Receive Them.
(By the Associated Press

Lincoln, Neb., July 6.-The plan OF
campaign of the Democratic National
Committee and its nominee for President
are yet to be arranged. Mr. Bryan reiter-
ated today what he has said before. that
he was unable to outline his program
in the slightest way Nor was he able
to say when conference would be held
in the matter. Mr.. Bryan had number
of callers today, all coming to extend
congratulations and express gratillca
tion over his nomination. There was
more real interest locally in the outcome
of the struggle for second place on the
ticket than in Mr.. Bryan's nomination.
When the bulletin came announcing the
selection of Adlai Stevenson. Then Mr..
Bryan expressed his pleasure and soon
after dictated the following:
mr.. Stevenson is an excellent man
for the place. He supported the ticket
in 1896, and can defend the platform of
1900. Towne would have strengthened
the ticket in the States where there is
fusion between the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans, but the support
given Mr.. Stevenson shows the convention
thought Mr.. Stevenson the more availa-
BILE man. The choice has fallen upon one
who is in every respect worthy of the
position"
Mr. Bryan then sent the following mes
sage:
Lincoln, Neb., July 9Th
"Hon. Adlai Stevenson, Bloomington, Ills.
Accept congratulations upon your
nomination. 1t was a deserved recogni-
ton of party service.
(Signed.) "W. ]. BRYAN
All through the day kilograms of con-
gratulations poured in on the Presiden-
tial candidate. Mr.. Bryan definitely de-
ciled not to go to Kansas ;Cty today
after he had a conversation over the tele-
phone with members; of the National
Committee at Kansas City The pressure
to have him attend and make a speech
to the convention as a fitting climax was
unusually strong, but Mr. Bryan has him.
self steadily advised against it. He finally
brought around the Democratic managers
to his way of thinking.
Mr. Bryan this evening received The
following telegram:
"Minnetonka Beach, July 9Th.
Accept my congratulations upon your
unanimous nomination
"ADLAI STEVENSON"
Mr.. Bryan said he expected a number
of visitors prominent in the councils OF
the party, some tomrrow, and beginning
next week. He would not specify who
they were. All Lincoln is expecting a
crowd from Kansas City with the adj
journment of the national convention and
preparations are already going forward
for some sort of a local demonstration.

TO COMPLETE FUSION.
The Popullsts Hold Their Convention Here
To-day.

There will be Il gathering of the
Populists of the county here today,
regardless of race, color, size, previous
condition of idiocy or any other old
thing.
They hold their county convention
today.
They will complete the arrange
1nents for fusion with the Republicans
on the county ticket and they will
have a speech 1t will proceed from
the mouth of Senator Butler, who has
stopped yawping over the disfran-
chisement of mulatto kids Ions enough
to run down, or From Congressman
Jno. Z. Kelly, who for the purpose OF
telling North Carolinians how to vote,
has come all the way from Kansas,
where ROSTERS lay eggs.
Or, and may God pity the dele
gates') both of these anti-Amend-
ment spell binders may tear off yard
or two of anti-white-man "spell-bind. y
That's the only sort they deal in.
But if the convention can be resus-
citated after the spell-binding process,
they will proceed with keen relish
that shows they like it, to fuse with
jim Young and his little gang of
''Kiyi'
1t is a matter of small import whom
the nominate, for they themselves do
not really hope to carry the county.
But if what has been talked on the
streets counts for true. the following
guesses will not prove far wrong:
For register of deeds they will name
Hill f. King, who loves pie so well
that on losing his job he got up a res-
taurant.
For sheriff they will name one w.
A. Lashley.
For surveyor, Pittman Still; for cor
oner, DR.. a. o. Jones.

HOW HANNA VIEWS THE PLATFORM.
Says Democrats Split Hairs on Imperialism
and Expansion.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Cleveland, Ohio, July 6.-Senator Han
ma, when asked for an expression on
the Democratic platform, said:
From what l have read, l can see
that it is cunningly devised scheme to
catch the unwary and the unthinking
voters. / think the most labored effort
in their document was to create differ
ence between expansion and Imperialism.
1t is rather amusing to see their line of
demarkation; they apparently rely upon
the constitutional question to establish
that difference as to whether the flag
follows the Constitution or the Constitu
tion follows the flag. We are perfectly
willing to meet that issue on their own
hypothesis So far as the free silver
plank is concerned, l think all Repub-
lcans will be satisfied with that. 1t is
certainly satisfactory to me"
