We can give further illustrations,
but certainly what Is above presen-
ted should be sufficient to remove
every vestige of doubt in the mind
OF any voter in North Carolina as
to existing facts, and further 1t is
surely enough to show that the on
ly inspiration of the negro yelling
white supremacy organization, to
sound their slogan of NIGGER
from one end of the State to the
other is their belief, and even con-
viction that the people of the State
are either fools or idiots, and as
! such are only ut to be played on
for all that can be gotten out Of
them In the way of their support
of this niger bowling horde for
the various official positions in the

It should be emphatically recor-
ded in the mind Of every citizen
that these negro judges Of election
constitute part Of jury who sits
in judgment on the liberties and

North and South Carolina, and that
now when manhood suffrage in
North Carolina was threatened by
monstrous device in the form of a
constitutional amendment to our
State constitution, that the cause of
North Carolina was the cause of
South Dakota.
Mr.. Kelly spoke for nearly two
hours. He declared the 5th section
of our proposed amendment uncon-
stitutional and would disfranchise
all illiterate white voters in the
State. He regarded it the most
monstrous proposition ever submit
ted to any free people. His speech
was powerful and convincing, and
did great good. It is to be hoped
that he can visit every county in

does, we predict that wherever he

GREATER NEW YORK
Preparing a Reception For
 Governor Roosevelt
The Mass Meeting to be a Great One. One Hundred Thousand People Will Turn Out to Greet Him. Clubs to Attend.

New York. Oct. 24.-The reception to Governor Roosevelt in Madison Square Garden on the night of October 2G promises to be the largest affair of the kind that has ever been held in New York. The reception is to be in the form of a mass meeting, and, from present indications, the officers of the republican county committee, who have the affair in hand. expect that consid-. erably more than 100000 persons will attend. George Manchester, secretary to the committee. has received assur- ances from the assembly district lead CTS that at least 60,00O good republican voters will be represented in the four teen groups that are to converge at Mddiso'l Square. Of course the Garden cannot begin to contain an audience of that size. SO it will be necessary to hold several overflow meetings. If possible Cove nor Roosevelt will address the oper-air meetings after or during the mass meeting inside the building. In order to keep the crowds ou5sid" lH good humor the committee on arrange ments will provide two large demon strations of fireworks. one on each side of Madison Square. These pyrotechnic displays are to be up to the standard of those that take place a, the seaside re- sorts during the summer season. Re quests for seats at the mass meeting are pouring in at county com'nittee headquarters. and they are being dis tributed as evenly as possible.
 Two thousand seats in the body of the hall have been reserved for the Austro-Hungarian Republican league and the German-American Republican league. Both of those organizations had arranged for meetings of their own on October e. but when they

DAWSON CITY PROSPER DUs
Interesting Report of Conditions by
 Consul MeCook.

Washington, Oct 24-An interesting report upon the conditions in Dawson City and the Yukon district of Alaska has been furnished by the state de- partment by United States Consul McCook.
 The Dawson of today" he says, presents a marked contrast of the Dawson of 1898. Then no one, except possibly the judges on the bench. wore white shirt. The town was thronged with miners, pack on back, prospecting for gold. The streets were veritable mud holes. Now the people dress much as they do in cities of the United States and a man with a pack on his back is an unusual sight, and one can walk the town over with polished shoes and not have them soiled'
 Dawson City does not appear like a. mining town, states Consul McCook but rather like a thriving commercial center. It is crowded just now. for more come in than go out. Electric railways are promised by 1901 and pub lie schools have been opened and are well attended. The output of gold has been increasing, says the consul. in spite of the fact that the average values of the gravels worked have been steadily declining, the richest mines having been worked first. There should be continued output of from $15, GOO to $20,00O,O00 of gold for many years to come.

 About six weeks ago, while cam paigning in Maine, the senator received two slight abrasiOns of the skin of the right foot and ankle. and the dye of his silk hose is supposed to have come in contact with the raw places. The swelling and pain gradually increased until the senator was compelled to can- eel all of his speaking engagements and take to his bed.
 The aiiment did not yield to treat ment. and the senator's suffering was so acute that the loss of rest threatened nervous collapse. It is now believed that he is out of danger.
