One Of the Republican candidates
for school director to be voted for at
the coming February election is Ma
jor f.. d. Fellows. who for the past
seven years has held the position OF
secretary OF the Scranton board of
control. Major Fellows has lived in
Scranton all his life and has many
friends who will do their best to give
him az handsome a majority as he re-
celved two years ago for the same Of
fee, when ne received the largest ma
jority Of any candidate. The SUI

board of six should be declared the

up for argument in February 1t will
be generally agreed that there is no
one better fitted for the office of school
director than Major Fellows.
All Of the business of the Scranton

schools and his we'll known interest IN

WEST DURHAM EXCURSION HERE.
Mr.. w. A. Irwin Brings the Episcopal Sunday
School Here on an Outing.

Mr.. w. A. Irwin, of the West Dur
ham Cotton Mills, brought the Episco-
pal Sunday school of West Durham
here yesterday for a short outing.
They came in car which had been
chartered for the purpose, and Mr..
Irwin personally conducted the whole
affair.
They seemed to enjoy their trip
highly. They went out to the Park
and watched the goldfishes and the
alligator and had a good time in the
shade. They also made a tour of the
State buildings, and wound up by
taking in the Museum. The greater

The father brought it and put it on

proceeded.

The Chief Suffering Was Among the Sick. The

How would you like to be the ice man
The ice man seems to have bigger job
on his hands than he can well attend to-
Yesterday the supply of ice here ran
low, and the city was the whole day ON
the verge of an ice famine. The situa-
tion looked serious for a while, until a
carload of ice was received from Hamlet.
The consignment consisted of thirteen
tons of ice, and it supplied the demand
until late in the afternoon, when the
supply gave about completely out.
The consignment of ice from Hamlet
is reported to have been of an inferior
quality, and there was much complaint
from the citizens on that account, though
as matter of fact they were fortunate
to get any at all.
The greatest sufferers were the sick,
and those who sold ice made it point
to supply them in preference to others
when a distinction had to be made. The
drug stores were also supplied, so that
cool drinks could be had.
Some of the dealers seeing their oppor-
tunity raised the price Of ice. One deal
er was heard to boast that he had sold
five hundred pounds of ice at l cent per
pound This is double the usual price of
ice Other instances have come to light
where the INSCRIPTIONS dealers raised
the price even higher than this, but most
of them sold ice all day at the regular
price, and so as to have ice for all, re-
fused to sell in blocks or large quantities,
The ice factory of Jones and Powell
has a capacity of about twenty-five tons
of ice daily, and until the recent spell
of scorching weather, supplied the de-
mand. But during the past week the
demand has increased and the factory fell
behind. This firm made every effort to
get ice here yesterday, but the carload
from Hamlet was all that was available.
as the increased demand for ice seemed
to be general carload of ice was ex-
pected last night and it is thought that
by Monday enough ice will be produced
to relieve the situation.

THESPEECH OF A BAD MAN
Good Populists Heave at Part of the
Ticket.
CAPT. SMITH TALKS OUT IN MEETING
He Says Mangum is Not Fit Man to Repre-
sent Wake County, But Ray Declares
He's as Good as Some Others
on the Ticket.

TIE Populists held an all-day meeting
yesterday
= The perspirng patriots convened in
y the Academy of Music, meeting at Il
o'clock and adjourning at 8. G.
Their menu for these six hours was as
follows: ~
IL to 1:30-CaucuS.
1880 to- 4:30-Speech by Butler
43O to 4:45-CaucuS.
445 to 5:50-Convention.
The caucus was to consider the Fusion
proposition and division of the ticket
submitted by the Republicans.
This proposition aroused considerable
antagonfsm and the debate on it was long
and loud. Some objected to one of the
proposed candidates and some to anoth-
err some thought the Radicals had taken
most too much of the pie and some
thought probably they didn't take enough
some wanted Fusion at all costs ana
I<some wanted to get out into the mldole
of the road and go it alone
Few wanted to do what anybody else
wanted to do, but finally the bosses came
in and said the slate must go through
lust as it was-and it went.
The caucus was secret and nobody was
y admitted into it except Republicans and
Populists Pat Stewart, who seemed to
be in charge of the Republican wing of
the concern went in and out at will. So
also did C. Tom Bailey
Oscar Spears was invited in but de-
clined to go, saying that he was Radi-
cal while Tom Bailey and Pat Stewart
were Republicans. Carl Duncan. the
revenue doodler, was also much in evil
dcnce.
Uncle Eph' was not in the caucus nor
did he participate in the convention,
though he was much in evidence when
Marse Butler was speaking. In fact he
furnished most of the applause and en-
thusiasm for that part of the perform
ance.
The result of the combined efforts of
the caucus and convention was the fol-
lowing nominations:
REPUBLICAN, Il
Sheriff, J. B. Hill, of Raleigh.

of his name in their campaign.
The convention suspected this yesterday
so, on motion of George TonnoTsN, Hill
King was empowered and authorized, in
case any nominee declined, to fill his
place on the ticket at once.
The convention was a very small one,
devoid of any sort of enthusiasm or hope
full spirit. The possibility of success
seemed to enter nobody's head. Many of
the precincts were without representation
and sometimes one delegate represented
both prcincts of township
Hay Aver presided and Guy Barnes was
secretary The only ornaments on the
stage were Father Worth and Rev. De-
cayed Baylus.
Buffers three hours speech was heard
by a crowd of 300 white people and $50
negroes, as nearly as they could be
counted.
Butler labored hard and long and per-
spired freely, but he was never able to
arouse any of the old time Populist en-
thusiasm Most of his applause came
from the negroes, with now and then a
wild yell or a little backtalk from a
drunken admirer in the audience. There
Democrats and more white Republicans.
There were Populists from Vance, Frank
lin, Johnston and Harnett, for the fact
that Butler was to speak had been in
dustriously advertised.
AS to Buffers speech, it was a dirty
stream of abuse of prominent Democrats,
interspersed with cunningly phrased mis-
representations and false statements in
regard to the amendment, its objects and
effect. 1t was a blood-thirsty, anarchistic
speech, calculated to lower the moral tone
of his hearers, and send them away the
worse for having come. He sought to
poison the minds of good men, to stir
their blood against their neighbors, to
make them suspicious and to undermine
their faith in human nature. There was
not man in the house that could truth
fully say as he went away: Il believe l
