Mr.. Bullock Getting Well.

James Bullock, of this city, writes
to his family from the hospital in
Richmond that his condition is much
improved and that he hopes to be
able to leave the hospital next Tues
day.
II will be remembered that on the
night of August the goth Mr.. Bullock
while on his way from Newport
News to Richmond, was dangerously
wounded by a negro, who fired at
him twice, the bullets taking effect
in his head and arm. The bullet in
head lodged just back of the eye.
a successful operation for it's reno
val was performed at the hospital.
The object of the negro who
wounded Mr.. Bullock was robbery.

Holton. with great earnestnesS, ''McKin-
lev would carry the State by a majority
over all of not less than 10000. With the
present Democratic machine in control OF
the election. however, a fair count is not
expected. The election law enacted by
the Democratic legislature two years ago
is far worse than the Goebel law in Ken
tucky.'
WILL DISFRANCHISE ALL NEGROES.
What proportion Of the negroes in
North Carolina will the constitutional
amendment disfranchise?'' Mr.. Holton
was asked.
ut will disfranchise all Of them so long
as the present Democratic ring is IN con-
troll of the election machinery, he an
swered. 1.-THE Democrats are open in their
declaration that they do not propose to
allow any negroes to register. III the
spirit of the amendment was observed,
only about half of them would be dis
franchised. but when a partisan election
board is the sole judge of the negro's abil-
itv TO write and to read the Constitution
of the United States, he has little chance
of being able to do it in manner to
satisfy a body, the chief object of the eX-
istence OF which is to keep him from vot-
ing"
Mr.. Holton is confident that his party
will elect congressman in at least two OF
the three districts now represented by
Republicans, his prediction being based
upon expected victories in the Eighth and
Ninth districts. In the Eighth district
Spencer Blackburn has been nominated
to succeed Romulus q. Linney, the pres
emit Republican incumbent, and in the
Ninth j. M. Moody has been nominated in
the place of Richmond Pearson, who got
into Congress by the unseating of VIII
liam t. Crawford, This Democratic oppon-
ent Mr. Holton would not discuss the
situation in the Second district, which is
represented by George H. White, the only
negro in Congress, and who announced a
few days ago that he will not seek re-
nomination. There is an Overwhelming
preponderance of negroes in the Second
distinct, but Mr.. Holton would not ven
ture an opinion as to whether negro OF
white man would be nominated by. the
Republicans.

NEWS ABOUT STAMPS.

An innovation in the, postal service
which is sure to be of great convenience
is plan lately adopted of furnishing
stamps in little books. with wax sheets
between them. The government is to
charge one cent additional to the amount
of stamps contained therein, and it is
now estimated that the profit on these
books will amount to 5000, 900 per annum.
1t is also estimated that the sum paid
for the Private Revenue Stamps placed
over the top of the bottles containing
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters very nearly
equals this. The bitters is reliable
remedy for constipation, indigestion, dys-
pepsia, billiousness, liver and kidney
troubles. 1t may be depended upon to
cure stomach disorders, having done so
for the past fifty years.

BLUE JEANS HOLTONDlTTO
Jeter Hopes to Materially Reduce
the Democratic Majority"
BULEJEANs cHAsEs GAUDY RAINEoWs
Confident that Republicans Will Elect Two Con-
gressmen. Campaign Opens Up in
North Carolina Shortly. Sim
mons in Washington.

The Presidential and Congressional cam
paign in the State has about opened, and
in short time will be in full blast.
Chairman Simmons left for Washing
ton yesterday, where he will spend a few
days in consultation with Chairman Jones
of the National committee, Mr. Richard
son, chairman of the Congressional COM
mittee, and other leading party workers
at National headquarters On his return
the Democratic headquarters here at the
Carrollton Hotel, will be opened and the
campaign for Bryan actively begun.
Mr.. Pearsall, the secretary of the com
mittee, returned to the city a day or two
ago, and is now actively at work at head
quarters. He expects to have appoint
ments for public speaking in the State
about the goth, and will have out in the
field from then until the election many
of the strongest campaigners in the State.
This, in addition to the canvass of the
candidates for Congress and the electors
will cover the field very thoroughly in
every section of the State.
Mr.. Pearsall has been spending a few
weeks in the mountain section of the
state, and Whlle up Lnere was IN the
Eighth and Ninth districts. He thinks
that while these districts gave a ma
jority against the amendment and the
State ticket, they will elect both Mr..
Crawford, the candidate in the Ninth dis
trict, and Mr. Buxton, who was nomi-
mated Thursday as the candidate in the
Eighth district. He thinks from this and
other information that there is no doubt
but what we will have solid delegation
in the next Congress, as we'll as carry the
State by a large majority for Bryan and
Stevenson.

WHAT A WHOpPERI

"The strongest argument against
removal is that it would cost the tax.
payers of Florida a million dollars
Now let US examine this argument bv
probing it with a few questions.
First is new Capital building nee
esSary? For an answer we will quote
from the Weekly TALLAHAssEEAN in
its issue of August 30th. In COM
menting upon Hon. Frank Clark's
DeLand speech, favoring the removal
of the Capital to Jacksonville, the
TALEAHAssEEAN says: 1T (the CAP
itOl building) may be far from ade-
quate for the accommodation of the
States officials, and the storage of
the States valuable records Here
we have the testimony of gentle
man against his own interest, to the
effect that new Capitol building is
necessity. Shall we reject such
testimony? Certainly not"
The above from the Indian River
Advocate is certainly very startling,
to say the least. The readers of the
TAILAHAssEEAN will readily under
stand that no such statement has
ever been made by Us, and when the
opposition resorts to misquoting this
paper on the subject of Capital re-
mOval they are certainly hard up for
arguments.
The language above attributed to
us is extracted from an editorial
quoted from the Savannah Morning
News which, as a whole, was very
creditable to Tallahassee. 1t was
never intended to convey the dis
torted idea it is made to subserve
here. This would have been shown
by quoting enough of the article to
get its meaning, but that does not
suit Capital removalists. Like drown
ing men, they catch at StraWS.

A Chinese Story.

M.SMOnnier, Tie we'll known French
Asiatic traveller, vOuches for tile truth
Of pc following story 6f how his
fr1etH, Hop Sing, 4 Travelled oriental
and tnan Of means and refinement, was
on ore OCCASION sOrely vicumized. Hop
Sings lived in the street CT the roasted
cornA as unsavOry and as III paved a
streE as any in all Peking. The local
nan$arin was an intimate friend Of
his, hnd Hop Sing avaIIed himself Of
this Friendship to press the mandarin
TO have the street repaVed. Certainly.
At o pee. The men would be at work
on before Hop Sing had returned
homf: A week passed, then another
VISIT and so on, until. in despair, Hop
S1nSfdetermined to have the street re-
pairdd at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
TIP surprise of Hop Sing was only
equa, led by his Indignation when, on
aWa4tnS one morning, he found q gang
OF csOlies UpheaVing the newly tagged
streH. His surprise grew when he
heaI3 from the mandarin's own IIDs
thatEhe men were there at his orders.
"Hsu see, my dear friend" said the
manfarin, 81 am expecting the head
inspector round here in a few DAYS.
NOWi if he Were to see the beautiful
pav9nent you have laid down in your
stretF he would come to the conclusion
that there was mc2ey about. and he
wouT assuredly bleed every vein in
nv ROdy. This would mean my ruin.

THE FACTS ARE KNOWN.

The people sof Florida are show
ing more poiniedly every day that
they realize TIE magnitude and i'm
portance of thk issue involved in the
Capital remova question to be voted
on at the Novi imber primaries. They
are not disposS to depart from their
record of conservatism and econom-
ical expenditure of public money.
They are UNIV Hing to abandon the
valuable Capid building and grounds
now owned ind occupied by the
State as the ut of government and
embark upon kn uncertain career of
increased and multiplied expenditure
of money deS Sived from the tax
payers. Thf know the present
State House il substantial and per-
fectly safe STR 3cture, adequate to the
needs of the tate. They know the
removal of tho Capital and. the erec-
ton of ne ~ building will cost
many times Ehe estimated figures
given out bf interested parties.
They know be cost of new build
1ngs will be Il ft to the Legislature
after the Ioca4 4o'a Has been fixed, and
that there vii be no limit to the ex,
penditures MIR safeguards against
extravagant fhemes. They know
the demand pr removal does not
come from th people at large but
from few who will be directly
benefited by iemoval to their midst
They know t bis large expense will
have to be bd dne by the taxpayers,
with no returi or advantage to them
for the increase of taxes.
That TallaIl lassee is sufficiently ac-
cessible and nat the State already
has here-ade5 5Iuate accommodations
for the condf pct of public business
cannot be refs tied by mere assertions
of those inter ksted in making erro-
0eous statemd pts. The people, as a
whole, should mot be required to bear
the heavy but den to be assumed in
the removal IF the State Capital for
the purpose q beneftting one town
at the sacrif se of property and in
terests just hs important as those
sought to bel enhanced by immense
expenditures Pfipublic money, when
not even T ausible reason is given
for the remoI Ial and the consequent
great expense 1t is safe to say the
Capital will semain where it is until
some valid rfascn is shown for its
removal.

Here we have an illustration of the
proposition announced only it comes
from an unexpected sand different
source. 1t is a case OF a creature set
up by the Democratic Reople through
their delegated AUTHORITY, wrestling
from them the right to say who shall
be their candidates and foisting upon
them another who could not win in
an open contest, but happens to pos
sesss more of this worlds goods.

AN ILLUSTRATION.

Last week we referred to the high
handed way in which the Campaign
Committee, presided over by the
Hon. Frank Clark, is precluding the
possibility of a poor man running for
a State Office at the November pri-
mary, and this week a case has come
under our observation which illus
trates so fully these extravagant
ideas that we quote at length
from it. In a letter dated 10th
inst, published IN the T.-U. & c.,
Harry Hartley, the nominee OF
the Duval County Convention
for Clerk of the Criminal Court of
Record, says:
I EAt a meeting of the Executive
Com mittee a resolution was adopted
requiring candidates to pay their as
sessments by August 10, 1900, OF
their failure to pay would be consid-
cred as a resignation. 1t was my
failure to pay the assessment that has
been considered and given out by the
committee as my resignation, they
having received no written or verbal
statement from me that l desired to
withdraw from the ticket. Irepeat,
did not resign, nor have I ever had
the slightest idea of doing so.
