RALEIGH.
DEMOCRATS CLOSE CAMPAIGN
AND ARE CONFIDENT.


Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 5.-The Demo
Gratis closed their campaign to-day
with meetings in every Congressional
district. They arc confident Of victory
in all but the Eighth and Ninth Dis
tricts. These are doubtful and both
sides are putting forth every effort 10
carry them. The Dcmocrats charge
that in these two districts the Repub-
licans, having abandoned all hope OF
carrying the State for Mckinley. are
Offering to vote for Bryan if Demo
Gratis will support the Republican Con
gressional nominees.
Tt IS Thought. however. that such n
proposition will have little effect in
view of the fact that Bryan is sure to
carry the State anyway.
If there is any trouble at the polls to-
morrow it will probably be over the
Senatorial contest, which is hot and
bitter.
The great interest manifested in the
Senatorship Will insure a full vote all
over the State.

JACKSON.
LAST THURSDAY A GALA DAY
THE CROPS.


Jackson, N. c., Nov. Blast Thurs
day was a gala day here. Old residents
say that in twenty years-aye twenty
five years no such crowd has assembled
here. Some from near. but most of
them from afar, and all to see the
Rhoda Royal Show. The dispensarv
did it's share of the local business. but
such an orderly crowd one seldom sees.
A cartoonist would have had a feast.
A. b. Frost, the artist, would have
found material enough to have stocked
Harper's and Ladies Home Journal for
year or more, and Kemble could
have furnished. the Herald for years
of Sundays with pictures of ex-senator
Ransom'S negroes.
The parade, with the two bands and
calliope. Oh! 1t was so extremely ludi-
crous-the actions of the negroes
Many had never heard brass band in
their lives, and when the elephant
passed the remarks about that natural
history specimen would have made
Uncle Remus take off his spectacles
and call Miss Lady to speak to dem
ignorant nggers. Considering the
crowds of $500 there was not q case to
come before the mayor
SENATORIAL MATTER.
The Senatorial matter wakes warm
err. General Carr speaks here to-day
and the town has been flooded with
Carr literature. Considering the mat
ter calmly it is a strange contest and
the animosity extreme. so much so that
the Presidential matter is seldom dis
cussed as to this State, but that mat
tiers little. for IL is sure for Bryan.
Simmons friends claim the county by
500 majority.
THE FARMERS.
The farmers are digging peanuts rap
idly. 1t seems strange TO see cotton
blooming all over the fields now and
squares forming every day. Much cot
ton is still unpicked in certain sec
tions, due to lack of labor.
Hon. r. Il. PEBBLES has been confined
TO his house for several days past.
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-06-28

All eyes are now turning towards
the democrotic convention at Kansas
City on July A. Not that the public
put much faith in the potency OF the
effects of their action; but our Curl
osity is aroused to discover just how
ridiculous they will make themselves.
It is taken for. granted that Bryan
will be nominated and tnat he will
build platform to match his com
plexion. OF course the gold demo-
Gratis and the Tammany ice trust may
chop out few splinters, but it is
bound to be hot ''antin platform
in every plank. But the chief doubt
centers around the vice presidential
nominee. Will the party repeat the
farce>of '96? Will they endorse the
populist nominee Towne, or will they
ignore him as they did Watson? And
by ignoring him will the poor be-
wildered pops continue to stand for
fusion which adds disgrace to ridi-
cule? This we shall see later on.
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-06-28

Let the man who is active la his
business content himself with mild
stilnulants, for booze and business are
antagonistic to each other. Butswhen
q man takes vacation from his
labors and wants a good time, there
is more excuse for his filling his sys-
tenn with brain-twisters and muscle
paralyzers. 1t is the same with polit-
ical parties. The man who wants to
work hard and do business should
stand by the republican party; but
when he wants to quit and rest up for
a season, oil he has TO do is to put
the democrat in power. AS 9 busi-
ness maker the democrats are failures,
butaas holiday bringers and general
easy time spree makers, they take the
cake. We do not believe the bnsi-
ness and orkingmen OF this country
are ready TO take another vacation,
but will vote for Mckinley and another
four years Of active prosperity. I

ing charged with crininally abusing

Attorney L. FL. Bailey appeared for

venue before Justice Gilmour. No
one but the witnesses and those abb
solutely connected with the case were
allowed in the court room.
The evidence was altogether too
naueeating to place before the eyes OF
the readers of the HOMER. County
Attorney Street was without a doubt
fully convinced as 70 the guilt OF the
defendant, and Mr.. Bailey vas sincere
in his belief that Miller was innocent
of the crime.
Expert testimony was introduced,
Drs. Newman, Henderson and Blakes-

Upon receiving the evidence Justice

A Serious Accident.

Miss Lillian Chattendon Of Cass
Lake was seriously, if not, indeed,
fatally injured in a runaway accident,
and is in the care Of ply ysicians in the
Markham hotel in this city.
Misses Chattendon and McInerney,
the latter lady from Staples, were
coming up from Cass Lake in a
double seated rig with Messrs. q. a.
#Goeenough and Chas. Zackwea when
the team ran away and the vehicle
#collided with d, stump, throwing out
the occupants with results as stated
above. No one but Miss Chattendon
received bad injuries.
Miss Chattendo on is a stenographer
for Roland Hartley Of Cass Lake, and
Tuesday afternoon she was taken to
that place on the train. 1t is feared
and only too probable that the lady's
spine is injured hey ond all hopes oi

The Diamond Point is particular
" a popular summer resort. We don t
know just how many, but there are
numerous tents there in which tour
lists are spending these balmy days.
The spoint,n, is certainly diamond Z

gets anything like fair rent for his

life, visited hundreds Of summer re-
sorts along the Atlantic coast and on
the mountains of New Hampshire
and on her maiesty's soil in the Do
minion of Canada, and a prettier
place than Diamond Point" on Be
midi lake have yet to see. There is
no wonder people come here tospend
the summer. The only surprise is
that there are not more. The time is
coming when Bemidii will be as pop
.ular a summer resort to Minnesotans
as Old Orchard Beach is to the ci-

The impression obtains among many
Of those who have not visited this

moved nothing remains but nnarable
lands, totally unfit and undesirable
for agricultural purposes. Such is
not the case, however. for there IS q
GREAT area Of fertile land that can be

profits to the husbandman if his work
is intelligently and judiciously di-
directed, which fact il being demon. 2,

The disappearance OF the timber
will be beneficial to those who desire sl

has retarded farming 70 4 great ex' xx
tent by reason of those who should

have cultivated their farms, having
found employment with numbering
concerns and neglected their farms;
and while numbering has been an sd
vantage in settling and opening up
the country, it has to q very marked
degree been hindrance to it's deyel.-
opment along agricultural lines, for
those who pretend to farm simply
scratched the earth in q very indiffer-
ent manner, expecting but little in rel
turn for tIesir labor and not being dis
appointed; their chief reliance being
upon the logging or numbering com
panies which gave them emplo oyment
and furnished them with the necessities
of life.
