ROxBoRO, n. c., July 4th.-The
Democrats had advertised for grand
political rally at Chub Lake, near
here to-day. The Raleigh band was
engaged to furnish the music, which
it did well.
But the crowd consisted of about
two hundred, counting women, chill
dren and all. The speakers were F.
b. Aycock and w. II. Kitchen, most
they talked about was rapes, etc.
The crowd and enthusiasm mani
tested was a grand and sad rebuke to
the ballot-bOx suffers. Person cOun-
ty has majority OF honest men in
1t who will not endorse fraud and
theft in this year Of grace, and the
man or men who atteinpt 1t, will be
marked and branded for all time to
come as cowardly scoundrels. Now
these are the facts.
Tit was telegraphed to the News
and Observer that there were one
thousand present at Club Lake. This
is the same kind of false reports sent
out from all their tizzles. In the
same issue of the News and Obser
yer, it reports that Senator Buffers
crowd at Statesville consisted only
of one hundred negro men, two ne
gro women, one hundred Repuhli
cans and Populists and fifty Demo
Gratis, when of truth, the large
court honse was packed. Such lyin.
as they do, only weakens their owl
cause.

AMI, AMENDMENT DtsOcRAT.
Dayes to Oppose the Summons Machine
and Ia RIdicaied.

The policy OF the Democratic
leaders in the State at present is not
only TO rotten egg their opponents
whose arguments they cannot meet,
but to crush the influence of any of
their own party who dare oppose
+. NJ. Simmons and his methods.
In the recent legislature this was
evident in the discussion of bill
to give Brunswick county extra
county commissioners:
"Dr. McNeiil asserted that the
people of Brunswick wanted to elect
their own county officers and to pass
the bill would injure the Democrat
ic party AMI its candidates.
''iiay made spirited speech in
defense of the bill. He asserted that
McNeill's wishes should not be re-
garded, as he opposed the cOnstitu-
tiOnal amendment, thereby affilia-
ting with Republicans and negroes.
At this point Reinhardt, of Lincoln,
interrupted and Ray remarked,
"Here's another of the same stripe "
"Dr. Mcneil, replying to Ray,
stated that he (McNeillD represented
as honest people and as white people
a. Ray; that he and Reinhardt had
opinions of their own, were men
enough to maintain them, and would
vote as their conscience dictated
we have stood by our pledges and
promises. ] have fully explained
my position to the Brunswick Dem
ocTatic convention before was nom
mated and I represent Brunswick
Democrats.
"&ay spoke again, severely ar
raigning McNeill. He declared ]
was a choice between Senator Davis
true Democrat and DIR. McNeill
who was not on the side of th'
white people"
McNeill and Reinhardt both vOte'
against the amendment in 1899 AM
at the recent session. They hav
both been renOminatetl for the leg
islature by their respective counties
but Simmons wants to POLITICAL
oetracise these two men for keepin
their pledges in horesty.-Chathal

The Democrats of Fayetteville
held their primaries Friday night,
June 29th, which were very thinly
attended.
The most noticeable incident of the
occasion was the presence Of Sidney
Mcqueen, leading Democratic ne
gro, in the primary with few 10Th
er "big, black burly" niggers. Sid
ney appeared to be the moving spir-
it of the primary, and was very &C
tive in the nomination of magistrates
and constable.
During the balloting for consta-
BILE, some of the WHITE BLACK .sU-
PREMAcY gang, voted as high as fif:
teen tickets. No one dreamed that
that s'motley crowd" would try tC
stuff the hat for the nomination OF
constable!

presented q petition from the Repub

Warrington, D. c., March II, 1898.
To the Times-DemOcrat.
Section 5 Of the amended suffrage
amendment is unconstitutional, in
my opinion, because it establishes
privileged class Of voters for three
generations without qualifications
while it imposes qualifications on al
other citizens, and because, in fact
it discriminates against the coloret
people of Louisiana.

next a different phase presents itself.
How q war of nations can be avoid

On July 4th the following items
of news were received.
The commanders of the allies in
Tien Tsin inform the correspondents
that it would be suicide to attempt
to reach with the troops now availa-
BILE in the face of the colossal force
of imperial troops and Boxers Occu-
pying the country between Tien
Tsin and Pekin. So far from TAX
ing the offensive the $4,000 interna-
tional troops at Tien Tsin and 5000
others at Taku and intermediate
points can barely keep up communi-
cation fighting incesrantly with over
whelming numbers, using far more
numerous artillery pieces than the
allies.
LATER.-Tien Tsin fell between 7
and 8 O'Clock on the morning OF
June both.
The Chinese losses around Tien
I Tsin are between 1000 and 5000 &C
cording to official estimates.
The Chinese have been guilty OF
horrible cruelty towards the wound
ed and captured, suhjecting them tt
what is known as ling-che, or thu
slicing process. Under this hideou.
) practice, the bodies of the fallen hav,
2 been mutilated. The Russians ar
retaliating by the wholesale shoot
ing of fnatives.
The situation according to the Ex

Of drifting into barbarism and saw

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept. ..--At the
end OF the irst week OF the strike in
the anthracite coal fields OF Pennsylvania
there are not wanting signs Of desire
on the part OF some of the strikers to re-
turn to their work. This sentiment is
generally confined, so far as reported. 20
tho Engiish-speaking element among the
mine workers. Experience has shown that
these men are the most conservative the
foreignets being impuisive and hot-tem-
pcred In strike times.
Notwithstanding the serious outbreak
necessitating the sending of troops TO
schuylkill county. everything is reported
quiet IN the entire coal region tonight,
There Is a feeling that efforts will be
made In all districts Monday to start
mines that are now idle.
The persistence of corporations and in
dividual mine owners in asserting that
they will consider grievances OF their en-
ployes individually, but will never under
any circumstances treat with the United
Mine Workers. has undoubtedly had its
effect, and II would not be surprising IL
many mines that have been closed since
the strike began to resume operations at
least partially. at the beginning of next
week.
