three other engines and two hook and ladder
trucks, with chiefs of battalion and Chief
Croker arrived on the scene. They questioned the

CONSTRUCTION OF THE SHAMROCK II.

The following alleged cable message about the
construction of Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger
Shamrock II, was not received at this Office yester
day from England, but it might have been:
London, Oct. 2S (SpeciaD.-Sr Thomas Upton to-
day granted an interview to a representative of

Sir Thomas has lately dsbursed large sums in
employing astronomers and other scientists to test
the differences of tidal influence on various mate
rlais, ana, through working on the principle that
like attracts like II has been found that the
moon, being itself composed Of green cheese, eX-
erts a greater influence this substance, when

Thomas in his challenge definitely named August

those days studied beforehand. and he has
been assured by Professor Fay Kerr, of the Royal
Astronomical Society. that If he can only turn the
outer mark in fair time he can. getting the
right tide, be sure of finishing within the time
that If he did not employ hitherto unuttlized
forces of nature he could not hope TO win. but he

SIMMONS FOR SENATOR.

To the Editor:-A large majority of the
Democrats of my section want F. M. Sim
mons elected to the United States Senate
for reasons even more numerous than the
eleven laid down by Judge Womack. No
body denies but what Mr. Simmons is
man of ability. Nobody but what VIII
say his private character is unimpeacha-
BILE. Nobody will refute the claim made
nv his friends that his party service en-
titles him to recognition Nobody put What
will say that he is pre-eminently btted
for coping with the force bill advocates
of the Republican party. Nobody can
say, and say truthfully, that he is not
in thorough accord with the principles of
Democracy as expressed at chicago, ana
re-echoed at Kansas City Nobody can
say but what he stands in the front ranks
of the ablest advocates of Bryan ana Oh
all the wholesome teachings of the noble
Nebraskan and his cOmpeers. Nobody but
what will say that Simmons political bat
ties in North Carolina in '92 and IS and
1900 are among the most brilliant and
successful in the history OF political cam
paigning.
Not a man in the State that will say
that f. NJ Simmons is not brave, courage
Gus. brainy and a heroic wrestler with any
problem of State or nation.
While he is poor so far as dollars ana
dimes go. yet he is rich in those attrl-
butes of leadership that should charac-
terize a representative in the United
States Senate.
1t does seem to me, that this man VINO
so richly deserves the position, and who
is so capable of filling it ought to nave
il and l have but little apprehension but
what he will get it.

him help the rich to Cypress and rob the
poor.
We should regard Mr. Simmons previ-
Gus public service as evidence of what he
has the character ability and patriotism
to do for us in the Senate. He has done
more for education than any living North
Carolinian, by doing more for white SUI
premacy and the amendments to our Con-
stitution. He has done more for the ex-
Confederate soldier than any other living
North Carolinian, not by giving little
money from well filed pockets, but by
doing more to help them regain by. the
adoption Of the amendment all that is
valuable of what they lost on the field of
battle, that is, the right and the power
of the white people of the State to gov
ern themselves and the negro; and now in
the evening of their lives they can enjoy
the glorious satisfaction of knowing that
the civilization of their dear State will re-
main Anglo-S Saxon forever, and their sons
and daughters always enjoy Anglo-Saxon
Government.
Mr. Simmons genius for politics has
put hundreds Of Confederate soldiers in
good offices which would have been held
by negroes and by white men who loved
negroes better than Confederate soldiers
or their sons. He has been the COM
manding spirit in making it forever i'm
possible for a negro to defeat Confed-
crate soldier, or the son of one for any
office in any township, town, county, city
or district in the State. Mr.. Simmons
was not old enough to be in the war
from '61 to IS, but the war for the indie
pendence of our people and the preserva-
tion of North Cardinals civilization has
been going on from 1851 until now. MI.
Simmons enlisted as soon as he was old
enough. and in the last great battle when
the final victory was won he was in COM
mand. We want him to go to the United
States Senate to help protect the honor,
and the fame of the ex-Confederate SOL
diers and their sons and daughters who
were engaged in the two great battles
of 1898 and 1900 and to continue the
fight for justice and good government
and our constitutional rights.
We urge all those who favor the cleo
ton of Mr. Simmons to the Senate to
bestir themselves for him. Every Dem
ocratic sorehead and every enemy OF or
ganized Democracy will oppose him. Ev-
cry man who wanted to join the Radi-
Gals but feared public sentiment will OPP
pose him. And the personal friends ana
admirers of the great and good men who
are contesting the honor with him will
oppose him. We urge his friends to or
ganize and go to work. Richmond Will
undoubtedly do its duty by him.
Respectfully,
CAMERON MORRISON.
