said he went down stairs and out into the
street. and there he found McUin bending
over Turner. He stated that he took hold
of McUin and pulled him away from Tur-
ner. and then picked Turner up and car
ried him into the house Turner. Grant
stated, was unconscious when he picked
him up from the street.

ing Turner into the house he went for
a physician and afterward called a police
man. IL response to the call Policeman

Read it. Think about it. If you
find yourself incapable of doing

vote on it. We have examined it
closely.
We stake our r.putation for

it, that the Amendment is de-
signed to disfranchise illiterate
colored voters, and that it will
not affect the suffrage of any
white man We do not see why
there should be any great strife
or division about this.
ALI who favor disfran chising
illiterate colored voters ought to
be allowed to vote for it, and all
in favor of retaining them in the
body polite ought to be allowed
to vote against it. A clear under
standing will make for peace.

M'KINLEY'S ACCEPTANCE.

Mr.. Mckinley received the notif-
cation of his denomination for Pres
ident Thursday at his home in Ohio,
and made a speech in reply which
may be regarded as embodying the
Republican plan of campaign. It
follows the general outline of the
Philadelphia resolutions, but i'm
proves upon them in clearness of
statement and fills in some of their
omissions. while disregarding their
unessential details. Like most of
Mr.. McKinley's important speeches,
it is carefully prepared and mingles
boldness upon points of accepted
party policy with judicious caution
upon issues still in doubt.
AS is natural in a candidate for
reelection, Mr. Mckinley refers at
the outset TO the promises of his
former nomination, and insists upon
the continuing Importance of the is
sues then successfully contended
curity and industrial prosperity,
which he regards as the fruit of Re
publican administration must be
nIai attained. The threat of 1896
has been renewed" he says, land
the people must once more unite and
overcome the advocates of repudia
tion."
After this appeal for the support
which was given him before upon
the same grounds, the President
| proceeds more cautiously to consid
er some things that have happened
| that wer,. not foreseen in 1896, and
in reference to which he says, Our
purposes must not be left IN doubt. y
This part of the speech is not very
definite, except that it relnserts the
omitted plank about the authority
of Congress over territory belonging
to the United States. Fsubject to the
fundamental safeguards of liberty
Justice and personal rights" but it il
probably as explicit as could be ex

is that ssthere must be no scuttlt

FINE FRUIT TREES.

During his visit to this city
last week Mr.. T. q. Middleton,
the proprietor of Rock Spring
Nursery at Warsaw, secured a
large number Of orders for fruit
trees to be delivered this fall and
winter. He was very much graft
fed at the reception he met with
in Goldsboro and at the success
of his trip. Instead of bringing
pictures of the fruit which the
trees bore he brought the luscious
fruit itself fresh from the trees,
which accounts for the unusual
large number of sales that be
made.
Mr. Middleton has made tho
nursery business study for years
and in consequence he is now abl'
to give the public the very bes
trees that climate and intelligent
experiment can produce.

Peace. Programme

Manila, May 25.--Felipe Bu-
encamino, former Secre sary of
State in the Filipino government
surrendered to the American
forces last December fully ex>
pecting to be shot as soon as it
was learned who he was. In
stead of executing him, how
ever, the American officer, to
whom Buencamino presented
himself invited the Filipino to
share his supper Of two eggs
and a handful of rice, and the
next day sent him down to Ma
nila. Here be was confined for
three months, in the Avela
street Jail.
Shortly before General Otis,
left for home Buencamino was
released and it was understood
between Otis and Buencamino
that the latter should devote his
energies toward effecting peace
between the Filipino forces and
those of the United States and
the recognition of American SOW
ereignty in the Philippines by
the Fiiipinos.
To this end Buencamino has
composed a peace programme,
copies of which have been sent
to the prominent leaders of the
revolution, both in and out of

EXPANSION GALORE.

Commerce with the Philips
pines is booming. A large new
steamship has been chartered at
San Francisco, aud four others
at Seattle, to carry American
produces to Manila. These ex-
ports will consist of a "large
stock of subsistence stores and
about four thousand horses and
mules for the troops.
This is not exactly the COM
mercial expansion that was
promised, but it is all that we
have got thus far. It we can only
increase our army in the East,
we may increase our com mnerce,
the soldiers being the only GUS
toners we have yet secured in
the Philippines. The Fillpinos
themselves are in need mainly of
coffins and they have no money
to pay for those.
The expectation of horses and
mules is q particularly import
ant trade item. because they re-
quiIe oats and thay to feed them
and this promotes commerce.
Altogether we did over two mil.
lion dollars worth of business
with our army in the Philippines
last year, though how many tens
of millions it cost to keep the
army there is another story.

The most vehement part of the
speech DR.. Cy Thompson is max
ing throughout the west is his de-
nunciation of colored Congress-
man George Fl. White of The
Second district, whom the doctor
characterizes ss ssthe most OBJ
noxious of all the race in the
State,' so the Concord Standard
reports.
Well. White did say in 1898
that negroes were holding Office
in North Carolina and more were
being born every day to hold Of
fee. And the Doctor is going
about the State to-day practically
sustaining this proposition of his
colleague by opposing the amend
ment. White opposes the amend
ment, and so does the Doctor,
and as the defeat of the amend
ment means the continuance of
negro ofice-holders, Whites avow-
ed object, the latter can be no
more obnoxious to the Doctor
than the Doctor should be to the
white men of the State who re-
pupiate Whites boast of 1898.

E. BOYD APPOINTED.
President Named ,he Successor
Of Ewart this Morning

Washington, July 12-Col.
James E. Boyd, Assistant At
torney General, Department of
Justice, today received his ap
pointment from the President at
Canton, as Judge of the United
States District Court of North
Carolina. He will qualify July
10th.
This news will come as a sur
prise to many, though others
have thought for some time Col.
Boyd would be the appointee.
He succeeds Judge Henry G.
Ewart, whose case has for two
years attracted the attention of
the country. Mr.. Ewart WIS ap-
pointed by President Mckinley to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Judge r. P.
Dick, of Greensboro, who held
the position many years. Immedi
ately upon Ewart's appointment,
Senator Butler began fight to
prevent this confirmation. For
many weary days the case occu-
pied the time of the Senate at
executive sessions, until Butler
won his first point and the NOM
ination went over. President Nc
Kinley gave Ewart a recess ap
pointment, but Butler wore ou1
the patience of the Senate again
and when Congress adjourned {
few weeks ago, Ewart's appoint
ment was not acted upon. The
President could not appoint him
again, and SO gives Col. Boye
this fine position generally re
garded as the best Federal posi-
tion in the State.

Patterson, candidate for Commis-
sioner of Agriculture, and Mr..
Jos. E. Robinson, who was to |
introduce him, and as Mr.. Patter
son was recoguized by many he
was cordially cheered. His speech
in it's turn was forceful and con-
vincipg, appealing with irresist-
ible earnestness to the honest
convictions and long time expe-
rience of his hearers
Col. I. F. Dortch introduced
Mr.. Aycock. And beautiful in-
PRODUCTION it was, too, touching
and elo quent.
AS Mr.. Aycock surveyed the
vast assembly, and looked into
myriads of happy, familiar faces
which greeted him on every
hand, for the moments his great
heart was so moved with love
and gratitude to his people that
his feelings came near getting
the better of him, strong man as
he is.
But it was only for an instant,
when that eagle eye swept over
the listening thousands, and that
familiar voice fell on the ears Of
the waiting multitude.
And such a speech! It was
worthy of the man. We believe
no living man could make bet
ter speech. Eloquent, logical,
convincing, powerful, it swept
everything before it. The people
fairly hug upon the speakers
words, and the impression made
will never be forgotten.
The day will go down in. history
as one of the most memorable in
the annals of Goldsboro and
Wayne county.
When Aycock in his ringing,
sweeping conclusion called fer
hands to 60 up every hand in that
great audience of thousands went
bis III In the air in favor Of the
Amendm ent and white supremacy.
Coming generations will hear
from the lips Of their parents
and grand parents of the IA n
day of J July. 1900. when Governor
Charles B. Aycock made his
great speech in Goldsboro just
before the election in which the
white people of the State settled
for all time to come the negro
question and by adopting consti'
tutional amendment secured
white supremacy and good gov
ernment for themselves and their
posterity.
Calls for Mr.. J Josephus Daniels
who was ON the rostrum, became
so persistent that he had to re
spond, which he did in few
| graceful words complimentary t.
Mr. Aycock.
