few days. His honor said that it was
incumbent on the grand jury to make a

power to bring the guilty men to the bar
of justice.
The grand jury examined large num-

At a late hour tonight mob which had
evaded the militia and the citizens police
attacked the Thomy Lafon school house,
Sixth and Rampant streets, upon the sup

and ammunition in the building. They
quickly gained possession and fired the

strong force was dispatched to the scene
as soon as the alarm was given, but too
late to save the school house. The mob

French and Hutton continued their

ed ELEPHANTS (Olifants?) River, and from
the high ground on the east bank he could
see Middleburg, and the enemy retiring in
great disorder. The main road north was
blocked for several miles with horsemen
and wagons. The enemy's rear was then
seven miles north. The mounted force
were still west of the river. Night was
closing; the rain was falling in torrents
and so it was impossible to follow. The
night was terrible. In addition to the
rain strong east wind made the bivouac
most uncomfortable One officer, regret
to say, died of exposure, and the NOR
tally among the mules and oxen was
great. The men made light Of hardships
and were in high spirits when l saw them
yesterday.

found Mrs. Steyn, wife of the ex-Presi-
dent and several of our men whom Dewet
had captured, at different times and whom
he was unable to send to Machaddodorp

"P. Dewet, a younger brother of Chris

MEwBoRNE's SPEECH LAST NIGHT.
He Fails to Enthuse His II White Men and
54 Negroes.


The Hon. j. NJ Mewborne GALL Fus-
ionists are HOnOrable) blew his bazoo
in East Raleigh last night for an
hour. in the presence of 81 negroes and
II white men.
Only two of the white men were
known to the News and Observer man.
One was j. w. Denmark and the other
was ID. II. Young. Denmark sat di-
rectlv behind the speaker, arrayed in
walking cane and spectacles and
Choking wise" Young sat directly in
front. keeping back the negroes from
too close approach to the fountain OF
GloQuence.
The speaker delivered his discourse
from the porch of what is known as
the brick store, on Hargett street, just
back of the Soldiers Home. He began
at o'clock and closed at 10, saying
he never liked to speak more than an
hour.
MANY of his colored auditors seemed
to tire out much earlier than that and
left the scene of action.
The orator started off in a jerky,
hating fashion, ike barn door open
ing on a rusty hinge, and he had hard
" got we'll under way when negro
man with a woman on his arm passed
along the road and called out 60 1T
pardner.'
Mewborne explained that it was not
because he loved the negro less but
his own race more that he was adj
dressing a few broken remarks to
them.
Il will not discuss the constitutions
atty of the amendment. | want to
be honest and fair with you. They
that love darkness rather than
Light
At this point the smoky oil lamp
sitting in the piazza went out. The
negroes laughed, and Mewborne said
to the men sitting behind him: "Will
some of YOU please light the lamp
A white man took it up and went
in the store. another one yawned and
Law down on the floor. The negroes
began to talk. The man with the
lamp didn't return at once.
Now if you won't forget where l
was at I'll tell you a story. I'm not
half speaking tonight, but I'll tell you
a story to keep you from going to
sleep" Then he told of a suffering
man in Baltimore who asked the owner
of a parrot if the bird could talk,
whereupon the owner replied: IF he
couldn't talk better than you do d-n
if | wouldn't kill him."
This story illustrated nothing but
it made the negroes laugh.
'Now you've made me forget where
I was at, but it doesn't make any diff
ference l just told that joke because
] saw some of you were going to
sleep"
And he rambled on.
watts once said there were two
sides to every question. There's two
sides to this one certainly. 1t is pro-
posed to disfranchise the negro and
Mr.. Simmons doesn't think anybody
ought to object to it. Now let's see.
Reverse the thing and look on the
other side. Suppose it was proposed
to let the negro keep the right to vote
and take it away from the white man,
wouldn'tyou feel like getting your old
gun out and rubbing it up?"
Thus the spell-binder thumped along
and finally came to a dead halt, turned
around and went into the store for his
hat. After a minute of silence a ne
GRO asked: as it over?'
Denmark said, Eyes" and the crowd
began to disperse.
Something may have been accom-
plished by such a mill-and-cider affair,
but it's hard to imagine what it was.

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS ALRIGHT.
They Never Took Any Oath Not to Disfran-
chise Negroes.

Especial to the News and Observcr)
Wilson, N. c., July 27.-The Jesse s.
Barnes Camp of Confederate Veterans
of this place has issued this address
which disposes of the Fusion talk about
Confederate soldiers violating their oaths
if they vote to disfranchise negroes:
To the Confederate Soldiers of Wilson
County:
AT a meeting of the Jesse S. Barnes
Camp of Confederate Veterans it was
suggested that the opponents of the Con-
stitutional Amendment were making the
charge that no Confederate soldier could
vote for the Constitutional Amendment
without violating his oath for the reason
that when the Confederate soldiers were
paroled each one was required to take
an oath to support the Constitution of
the United States. The members of our
organization have carefully considered
this question and are at loss to under
stand why this suggestion could ever have
been made. 1t will be remembered that
this oath was taken in 1865. At this time
negroes were not allowed to vote in any
State in the Union. The Fifteenth Amend
ment comforting upon the negro the right
to vote was not ratified until 1868, so the
Constitution at the time the oath refer
red to was taken contained no provision
authorizing the negro to vote. The mem
bers of this Association were all Confed-
crate soldiers. We have carefully con-
sidered all the questions involved in the
adoption of the Constitutional Amend
ment, and earnestly appeal to all Con-
federate soldiers in Wilson county to vote
for the amendment, believing it's adoption
will nromote the Deace and walfara Of
our State and county

South Africa.
Near Approach Of Peace.

The cabled news from South Afri-
ca during the past few days have
been somewhat conflicting, that is
to say, while not actually conflicting
in themselves they show quite div.
erse conditions in different parts of
the country.
For instance, the reports from the
TranSvaal proper show the BOers to
be absolutely discouraged, to be dis-
gusted with the conduct OF their
Orangist allies, and as leaving the
army in large numbers and returning
to their homes.
Their President, Dom Paul Krug-
er, is soliciting peace, but complies
his request with the condition OF
retention of Independence BY the
Transvaal Republic.
This concession, which night have
been possible six months ago, be
must be aware is entirely out Of the
question now. England has lost toe
much in blOed and treasure to grant
any mercy to her foe when that foe
is practically vsnquished and she
sees the fruits Of victory at last with
in her grasp.
Lord Roberts already has his ins
tructions to accept nothing but inc
onditional surrender, and that und-
oubtedly means the reduction Of the
Boer Republic to an English Grown
Colony and the probable imprison-
ment of the leaders in the war.
At the same time reports from
Natal indicate that the Beers there
and especially their foreign allies
are eager to continue the war and
will, if necessary, resort to guerrilla
tactics and divide themselves up
into small hostile bands, with the in
tentioa of harassing and doing all
the harm possible to the British.
That this state of things can long
continue is not to be credited. The
war is now near its end and s0hen
that does come the whole world will
rejoice.
