WHITE SUPREMACY LEADER.

Aycock gets the nomination,
He was every body's choice;
The unterritied have spoken,
And in no uncertain voice.
The grea white host is solid
From the mountains to the sea,
For Aycook and the Amendment
And White Supremacy.
We have nominated Aycock,
And the enc my he will rout;
He's. backed By the gang that But
Ter wants
The negroes to help drive out.
With Aycock for our leader,
Our ticket will sweep the State,
Though Spencer Blackburn threat
ems us
With William Goebel's fate.
Charles 3. Aycock's nomination
Is rough on black and tan
They want so bad to match him,
Blu; they can't produce the man.
There is not man can beat him
In the whole blamed fusion lot,
And the man who undertakes 1t
Is blooming idiot.
When we rid our good old State
OF Buffers fusion crowd,
Carolinians can whoop with JOY,
And of their State feel proud.
When Butler ieayes the Senate
lie can spend his time betwixt
Picking huckleberries on Six Runs
And scratching Sampson ticks.

THE FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.

New Orleans, April 21.-The floods
which commenced the early part of the
week haye already caused, at a con-
sentative estimate, fully $780, 900 less
in central and Southern Mississippi, to
say nothing of the damage sustained
by the railroads. The extent of the
losses have not yet been fully realized,
and it may be some days yet before an
accurate total can be reached, as mail
communication has bsen totally cut
off between those localities which have
suffered most.
The distressing news comes from
Hickory, Miss, a small town on this
road, which is nov completely sur
rounded by water and inundated in
many places. Hundreds of hogs and
cattle near this point were drowned
and miles of fencing have been washed
away.
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 21.-The ex-
tensive rains which have prevailed ov-
or Mississippi and parts of Alabama for
seven days, making the rivers and
smaller streams Of these States rise to
an unprecedented extent and overflow
the lowlands is causing suffering and
a loss of property never known before.

rs IT NOT A MISTAKEe

While our newspapers are 81 power
in the land, the past six weeks or two
months demonstrated that they are
not all-powerful. With singular una
nimity they urged the denomination
to the office Of Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction of Mr.. G. H. Mebane.
Notwithstanding his satisfactory record
as State official in the faithful dis
charge of his duty, the convention
would not hear 10 his denomination,
and hardly treated those who appeared
in his behalf with respect. Whatever
our views may be with regard TO tho
wisdom or unwlsdom OF failing to en-
dorse Mr.. Mebane by making him the
Democratic candidate, it Ia significant
that the big dailles so utterly tailed to
influence the popular mind in North
Carolina. And perhaps this is gem
orally true. The power of the leading
newspapers IS often greatly exagger-
ated.-Charity and Children.
While Editor Johnson is usually
clear and careful in all his writings,
The COMMON WEALTH thinks he is in
some error in the foregoing. We re-
member to have seen only ore "lead-
ing daily" newspaper in the State ad-
yooate Mr.. Mebano's denomination,
and that was the Charlotte Observer !;
and as We remember it, the Charlotte
Observer did not pointedly advocate
Mr.. Msbane's denomination but said
that the interest OF the public schools
ought to be held above reward for
party service, or words to that effect.
We do not remember that the daily
press "with singular unan'mity" urged
Mr.. Mebanes nomination. And in
the nomination of another we do not
see that the "big dallies so utterly
failed to influence the popular mind
in North Carolina"

AYCOCK A GREAT LEADER.

Hon. G. B. Aycock has been to Wins
ton and was royalty welcomed.
Here Is what the Winston Sentinel
told about him:
Those who heard Mr.. Aycock' 3 speech
Tuesday were impressed by the fact that
the Democratic State Convention made
no mistake in calling him to the leader
ship in behalf of white supremacy and
good government in North Carolina.
He will wage vigorous campaign and
will send conviction to the hearts and
condolences of doubling Thomases by
his deep sincerity, intense earnestnees
and mastery arguments, while his fear,
lessness and eloquence will arouse en-
thu.iasm and stir to action the unter-
rj6ed Democracy al the State, all of
which will eliminate in a glorious vic
tory inAuEust next-securlnx the adop-
ton Of the amendment, which will
mean white supremacy perpetuated
and the election of the State Democratic
ticket, which will mean honest and capa-
BILE administration Of the state govern
ment.

WHAT Is A "CATTLE MILL? ?"

Charlotte Observer.
The following very interesting para
agraph appeared in a recent Issue OF
The New York Evening Post:
I'D. A. Tompkins, a cattle-mlll owner
OF Mississippi, is to give SAC, 600 fer
the construction at Jackson, Miss, OF
the textile school authorized at the
recent session of the Legislature"
The Wilmington Messenger directs
the Observers attention to it and asks
for an explanation. The Norfolk
Landmark calls it ga nugget of news''
and suggests that Mr.. Tompkins will
be surprised to learn that he is ga cat
tIe-mill owner of Mlssissippi." In the
temporary absence of this gentleman
from Charlotte, N. c., U. s. A., The
Observer takes leave to say to the New
York Evening Post and others of the
ungodly that he is a resident of tho
city aforesaid, and if he is a cattle-mi|l
owner of Mississippi or elsewhere he
has never confided the fact to his
friends here. He is somewhat of a
cotton mill owner and is profoundly
interested In Southern development
and textile education, for beth OF which
he has done more than any other
dozen men. He has not given $4O,-
GOO to a textile school in Mississippi
but the Legislature of that State has
recently appropriated the sum named
for the establishment OF such school.
and the Mississippi Press has been
good enough to say that such appro-
priation Is duo to an address in favor
OF it delivered by him before the Leg
islature.
The Observer would not be saving
all this if the gentleman named were
In earshot, but at this writing he is
far away-perkaps in Boston or Ban
gor, perhaps in Pittsburg or Paducah
perhaps in Cincinnati or Chicago, per-
haps in Tennessee or Texas, Omaha OF
Oregon, or it may be is in Old Mexico
or New Mexico, for no ono eyer
knows where he is unless one happens
to be looking at him at the moment
and the writer hopes to be away from
Charlotte when he returns.

cies Secretary Long is the only man who
has abandoned hope that Minister Con-
ger, his wife, and all the men and women
Of the American legation at Peking have
been murdered. Secretary Long asks
whv, if the reports from Shanghai be
true, has not Admiral Remey cabled
this government about it. He sends an
official cablegram today, but not word
concerning the brutal murder of the
thousands of foreigners in Peking.
Secretary Longs optimism is not par
ticipated in by other members of the
cabinet or officials here. There is a
hubbub about the departments that in
dicates that great things are impending.

WANT TO FUSE.

Boulder County fopui,ets in Line With
Their 1reat Leader.
Of the twenty.eight precinct chairmen
attending the meeting of the Populist
county central committee in the court
house today there was not voice dis
senting from the spirit of fusion. All
were for it, though many presented dit.
ferent plans to accomplish the result.
All were agreed that the defeat of E. O.
Wolcott was a patriotic duty and any
honorable means should be put forth for
its accomplishment.
Whether they should meet on the
same day as the Democrats and Silver
Republicans and bring about fusion by
the ordinary methods of committees, or
whether they should accomplish the
same result by joint convention of the
three silver parties, was matter OF
friendly dispute.
John Thompson of Gold Hill favored
a Joint convention after each party shall
have named its candidates. Others be-
|lieved union could be best brought about
by the chairman OF the county commit.
tee and members Of special committee
meeting like committees of the other
parties and determining before the con-
Iventions the respective Offices to which
the several parties should be entitled.
The sentiment was unanimous for
fusion.
The resolution, finally adopted, ex
pressed willingness to fuse on basis
of the votes of I8o7-oS and 90.
