surprised, not to say frightened, than
when the Committee waited on him.
He says that for quite a while ne
worked at his trade hard all day and
cooked his meals at night owing 10 the
illness OF his wife and he was obliged
to employ the negro women as a cook.

tors Of the Moore's Creek Battle Ground

neerngthe enactiOn into law OF the

very great historic interest as asso-
ciated with the revolutionary period.
1t is the desire Of the association to
get control of the place and preserve
it in connection with the battle ground.

tinue the present officers of the assO-
citation for the ensuing year. Those
IN attendance were as fOllOws:

expected hat the climax of the STIR
ring events of the week, politically
speaking, will be reached in a great
ovation to Aycock in which the red
shirt organizations Of Sampson and
numerous neighborfng counties will

will be in addition to the regular
schedule from Warsaw to Clinton a

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RED SHIRTS
The Newport News Herald Recites the
Origin of the Red shirt deals Pro-
test Against Republican 'Bloody
Shirt

Anent the numerous red shirt de-
monstrations now in vogue through
cut eastern Carolina as a feature of
the constitutional amendment cam
paign. the following from the New
port News Herald of yesterday, giving
the significance of the red shirt will
be of interest to wit:
The red shirt campaign now on in
North Carolina revives ancient mem
cries and reminds the Savannah News
of the campaign of 1876, in Georgia and
South Carolina. AS in those days, the
democrats are in red shirts, which
never fail to stimulate the enthusiasm
The red shirt as a southern democratic
campaign emblem, came into being as
a protest against the republican par
tvs waving of the bloody shirt, a def
ance of that party at the polls, and a
red badge of courage to warn the re-
publicans that the south would not
Longer submit to negro domination.
The bloody shirt had it's origin in ku-
kluX days, and is supposed to have
been worn by negroes shot by the ku-
kluX khan. 1t was the custom of re-
publican campaign speakers, both
north and south, to f%iguratively draw
out and wave the bloody shirt before
their audiences for the purpose of
keeping sectional feeling high and in
flaming the negroes against the white
people of the south. The first demo-
cratic red shirts, indeed, We're made of
white cotton and splashed with red
paint or dye, in imitation of the bloody
shirt. Later. however, the OLE red
took the place of the red-splashed
white cotton. The red shirt, however,
has not been seen of late years. Its
revival in North Carolina means no
negro domination, presumably, as it
did vars ago"

EN-SEN ATOR JARVIS HERE.
spoke enthusiastically of the Pros
poets for Overwhelming Constftu-
tional Amendment Majority.

Ex-senator I. j. Jarvis spent sew
eral hour in the city yesterday en-
route from points in Bladen county,
where he made speeches during the
past few days. to fill engagements in
Pitt county In speaking of the prog
reSs Of the campaign the ex-senator
said hat the outlook for rolling I'D a
very large majority for the amendment
was very good and is increasing daily,
and if the campaign work moves on
with such force as it certainly will for
the next few days which precede the
election there is no estimating what
figures the majority nay reach, and
certain it is that it will e SO over
whelming that no question of contest
can ever be raised, and 1t will be 50
clearly the will of the people that the
questioning the owe to enforce it's
provisions would make advocates OF
such a step ridiculous in the eyes OF
the people of the whole country.
Ex-senator Jarvis left last night on
the 7 o'clock northbound train for Pitt
county, where he will fill several en-
gagements. He speaks at Grendool
Plymouth and other points and has
