Simmons for the Senate.

To the Editor: AS citizen of the
eastern part of the State, l wish to add
few words of appreciation from this
section of the admirable work done by
our interchangeable leader, the Hon. f. M
Simmons. This is not the first nor the
second time so responsible a position has
been entrusted to Mr.. Simmons, and in
each successive instance he has eclipsed
himself and won the honor and esteem
Of the hosts of supporters. When SO molly
Simmons accepted the management of
the present campaign he well knew the
task that lay before him, and he at
once began to get his forces properly or
ganiZed from one end of the State to
the other. Every county was given atten-
ton and the election showed the result
of getting the foundation properly laid
The people were acquainted with Mr..
Simmons and showed their perfect conf
dence in him by giving their hearty CO.
operation in the work, even where they
held no office or coveted any.
Again the press of the State almost
to a unit, went into the campaign with
gloves off and waged warfare that has
not been eXcelled even by the fight of
1898. Surely the News and Observer was
most magnanimous in the battle, enter
ing at the first outbreak and remaining
at the front till the grand result of co.
600 majority for honest white government
was proclaimed for good old North Caro-
lima.
In the selection of his private secre-
tary, Mr. Simmons was very fortunate in
procuring so well-fitted a gentleman as
p. M. Pearsall, Esq, who is also from
the east. and highly esteemed by wide
circle of friends.

reasons and because of the fact that

good opinion of ones friends is more
to be sought than the nomination or
an election.
We are on the eve of the greatest
battle in the history of the nation.
The election of a Democratic Presi-
dent and nine congressman who Will
hold up his hands, should engage the
very highest effort of every man who
loves his party As much time as |
can spare will be given to the accom-
plishment of this result.
EDWARD w. POU.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Pou leaves
only three avowed candidates in the
field:
Capt. w. b. Shaw, of Vance.
Frank S. Spruill, of Franklin.
John w. Atwater, of Chatham.
Before Mr.. Pou announced his can
didacy, the name of Sheriff Filing
ton, of Johnson, had been frequently
and fayorably mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination. 1T was
said at one time that he was ready
to enter the field. Sheriff Ellington
and Mr.. Pou are warm friends and it
was stated in Johnson that the sheriff
gave way to Mr.. Pou. Whether he will
now enter the race is not known.
Elsewhere in todays paper is an ar
ticle endorsing Mr. W. {. Hammer,
of Asheboro, for the nomination. He
is one of the best men in the State
and would represent the Metropolitan
district with ability.
Other names mentioned last night, in
addition to the three avowed candi
dates were Messrs. n. b. Broughton,
Ed. Chambers Smith, and f. c. Bed
dingfeld, of Wake; Capt. B. II. Bum,
of Nash; and Capt. G. NJ. Cooke, of
Franklin. 1t is not known whether
either of these gentlemen have Con-
gressional aspirations.
Let the best man win!
The convention will be held in Raj
eigh, September 9th.

Splendid Property for Sale at
a Great Bargain.

A fine Grain and Stock Farm in Amelia
County, Virginia, 20 miles west from
Petersburg, 4 miles north of Ford, on the
N. & w. R. R. contains
1857 ACRES OF
Rich Creek bottom, fine for Timothy Hay,
Grain, &C., level upland, of good produc-
tive quality for Tobacco, Grain, &C., and
healthy. The old mansion house has a
brick basement with rooms, two upper
stories with IL rooms. There are two
other Settlements on the place and prob
ably 25 buildings in all and many fruit
trees.
There is large amount of timber on
the land. One party we'll acquainted with
the place, and also with the price of lum-
Der says he thinks enough lumber can
be had on the land to pay for it.
Some gold has been found and some
coal, but l do not know how much OF
either there is. l have an application to
lease the OIL and Gas privileges on it.
There may be millions in all there. But
want to sell the place as it is and at
once. 1t has been held at $500 per acre.
now offer it at $500 per acre. At this
there is a big bargain in it for some one.
The buildings on the place are worth
most of this. The lumber as much more.
1t would make one of the finest Stock
Farms in the country. 1t is considered
about the best Farm in this section.
Go see the place? Get off at Ford's
Depot and Gus S. Van Cleef who lives
near will show the place.

basement of the Richardson Wholesale

had to be taken down a ladder, outside
One of them was struck by a ladder, and

WouLD.BE LYNCHERs F0ILED.
Mob Formed with the Intention Of KILL
Ing a Negro Charged with Assauit-Two
Persons Killed, Others Injured.

Akron, O., Aug. 23.-Two persons
are known to have been killed, several
Others were MANNED, and for hours
last night the streets of Akron were
filled with wild, uncomfortable
mob The trouble was the outcome
of an unsuccessful attempt to lynch
q negro who is charged with a brutal
assault. The mob formed with the
intention of lynching Louis Peck, a
negro who was arrested yesterday,
charged with having attempted to as
sault Christina, the six-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Mas, Industrious and respectable
people who live on Perkins hill. In
police court the prisoner pleaded
guilty and was bound over to the com
mon pleas court.
A large crowd gathered about the
city prison last night at $3.50 o'clock
and forced in the doors. The prison
was soon packed with the mob and
the officers offered no resistance as
Peck, earlier in the evening, had been
quietly taken away to Cleveland.
To satisfy the mob the officers sug-
gested that committee OF six be
appointed to search all the cells and
20 through every part of the build
ing. This was done, and as the negro
was not found yell was made, snow
for the county Jail. Give us the niger
and we will deal with him."
A mad rush followed for the Jail.
It was searched, every cell being en-
tered. Satisfied that the negro was
not there the mob then rushed across
the street and forced open the doors
of the county courthouse. The old
courthouse was soon packed and all
rooms searched except the rooms in
the treasury department. A start
was made to tear off the iron doors
of the treasury department, but the
mob decided not to tackle the job and
then the thousands of men and boys
again rushed back to the city prison
crying for the blood of Peck. The
officers in the building appeared at
the windows and began to shoot over
the heads of the mob. A man with a
shotgun then fired at the officers.
The crowd began to smash in the
windows of the city building and the
firing became general. 1t is known
that two persons were instantly
killed and another person is dying at
the city hospital.
