The Populist county executive commit
| tee has been called to meet here at noon
on Monday, to consider the proposition
for fusion on the county and legislative
tickets.
accepted" I asked Populist Chairman
Hill E. King yesterday.
Il can't say-I'm not the committee,
but it's about the same arrangement and
| division of the ticket that we have had
heretofore
who will constitute your ticket?'
81 have no idea. All l know about it
is what I've seen in the News and OBJ
server ne have not even discussed
candidates fer some of the places on the
ticket
Where will you hold your primaries in
Raleigh Saturday,"
"Oh don't think we'll have any"
How will the delegates be appointed

why every fellow will just consider
himself delegate and come to the con-
vention, l suppose" said Mr.. King.
Mr. Josephus Daniels left yesterday for
Kansas City. to attend the Democratic
National Convention. He will probably go
| first to Lincoln, Nebraska Mr.. Bryan's
home, and return to Kansas City on Tues
day. The other delegates from the
State will leave Sunday afternoon, over
the Southern Railway, for the convention.
The fact that Mr.. Daniels is the Ma
tional Committeeman from this State
made it necessary for him to go earlier
than the others.
'"The North Carolina delegates have held
no meeting and will not until they reach
Kansas City Personally, | am inclined
to favor the nomination of Judge Parker,
of New York" said Mr.. Daniels before
leaving HE carried that State in 1897
by $4,000 after the big defeat in 1896.
This is not Hills year. No man who OPP
POSED the income tax will be nominated
in my judgment, and no man whose posi-
tion was doubtful in 1896 can be put on
the ticket with Mr.. Bryan"
The Shelby Aurora prints the following
interesting bit of news about Fusion
candidate on the State ticket:
III f. Seawell, who was egged by some
boys here several weeks ago as he was
boarding the Seaboard passenger train
has brought suit against the railroad
company for damages. The summons was
received Monday by Sheriff Suttle and i'm
mediately served on Agent Walter Ram
seur, of the Seaboard. The summons is
returnable to the August term of Moore
county Superior court, the home of Sea-
we'll We understand that the amount
required to soothe the lacerated feelings
of Mr.. Seawell is $50, 900. From what can
be learned he bases his suit for damages
on the ground that being a passenger of
the defendant company. and the law
recognizing it's agents as police officers,
he was entitled to protection at their
hands We learn also that Seawell and
his friends are trying to connect the local
agent, Mr.. Ramseur, with the episode as
aiding and abetting the boys who threw
the eggs. To this Ramseur enters an in
dignant denial"
Congressman Atwater spoke last night
at the Falls of Neuse. He closes his
canvass of this county today, with the eX-
cepton of an appointment at Apex on
July 4th. He will be speaking in Chath-
am all of next week. Mr.. Atwater has
made some splendid speeches in Wake,
and by his. efforts many votes for the
Amendment have been won.
Tax listers in this county say they have
never before known so many young ne
groes to list for poll tax, all giving their
ages as q. Many of them do not look to
be that old and the tax listers often
question them closely as to their age.
The same think has been noticed by
the listers in number of other counties,
and it is suggested that it is a scheme
on the part of those who are against the
Amendment to get as many votes as pos
sible next August.
The Durham Herald says it is thought
that the scheme is to have as many ne
groes as possible, who are under twenty
one years of age to list for taXes-of
course never expecting to pay the same
and then when they go to register for
the approaching election will refer the
poll holders to the tax books if there
is any objection to them registering on
account of age.
A few days ago the Statesville Land
mark said that the same thing was being
done in that town. Whether or not it is
scheme on the part of the leaders, it
is clearly evident that some fraud is be-
ing practiced by many negroes who have
listed here this year for taxes. They are
preparing to defeat the Amendment by
means of fraud, if they are not watched.
The Wadesboro Messenger Intelligencer
gives the following very encouraging re-
port as to the condition of Arson county:
Political conditions in the county are
improving daily The White Supremacy
clubs, which were organized all over the
county on tie 18th inst, are doing
great work and will WELD a tremendous
influence for good. The membership OF
all of them is already large and is in
creasing rapidly. In some precincts there
are already more names on the rolls of
the clubs than there were Democratic
votes cast in the last election.

there are at least two townships in this
