Saturday for beating a negro. The negro
had cursed him for voting for the amend
ment, whereupOn the white man bruised
up the negro with his fist. He submitted
to an assault and was taxed vita thu
costs. In less than fifteen minutes the
good Democrats had thrown in enough
to meet all expenses, so the defendant
was out nothing.
Since the election the negroes are very
quiet. They seem to be taking the re-
suit better than their white allies. They
seem more submissive than ever before.
1t is now not uncommon to see a negro
raise his hat to the white people.
Many of our people are now off at
Cleveland Springs, resting up.
Sheriff Horn went to Texas last week
and has just gotten back. He went after
a young man who left this county several
weeks ago. He was engaged to young
lady and decided not to marry and to
avoid the scandal he left the county. He
is now in jail. After he reached Texas,
feeling safe, he wrote a very insulting
letter to the girls father, who is Bap-
tst minister.

"A DASTARDLY ACT"

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer)
Ramseur, N. c., August 14.-On the
first Sunday in August, the pastor of the
Methodist church in this place, Rev. j.
F. England, preached from the text,
amend your ways" He argued that
to make progress in the direction of a
higher civilization we must 'i2m snd y
in many things. We must demand men
of high character in politics, in the pull
pit and in the school room. The preach
ers structures on immoral men in the
school room was particularly obnoxious
to Mr.. D. NJ. Weatherby, a school teacher
in the community. He gave it out that
he would fog Mr.. England the first OPP
portunity. The opportunity did not pre-
sent itself until on last Friday, on ac-
count of Mr.. England being away. On
Friday, August 10th, Mr.. England went
to the postoffce as usual to get his mail,
when a brutal assault was made on him
by both Mr.. D. NJ. Weatherby and his
nephew, Oscar Weatherby, at the same
time, and but for the timely interference
of the friends of Mr.. England, he would
have been roughly dealt with. The
good people of Ramseur are righteously
indignant and do not hesitate to openly
condemn the dastardly act as brutal
and cowardly in the highest degree.
1t is expected that when these parties
are tried the trial will disclose conduct
that will discredit Mr.. Weatherby as a
school teacher
The preachers contention is along the
right line and timely and he ought to
have the moral support of the commun-
ity and doubtless will

Lincoln Neb., August 14.-The Inde-
pendent, local Populist paper, tele-
graphed Chairman Butler of the the Ma

of the report that he would take the

gram was received in reply:

ministration. If he did that the only
name that can properly be applied to him
is the name of traitor. But we have too
much belief in his high character and in
tegrity to think those were his motives
1t may be that we object to Mr.. Bryan
chiefly on account of the company he
keeps. Mr.. Mckinley, after telling the
world what would be criminal aggression,
proceeded himself to consummate that
crime. The President of the United
States has robbed his people of their
good name and their honorable standing
among the nations.
John Jay Chapman, Of New York, be-
ing called on for a speech, said that Nc
Kinley would be reelected, because
Bryan is tied up to things which the
conscience of the country cannot sup
port
The speaker said he admired much of
Bryan's personality and particularly ap-
proved of a great part OF his Indianapolis
speech of acceptance.
When l read that speech" ne said,
II was at first inclined to think that I
would vote for Bryan, but | have now
determined that l cannot do that, because
in order to vote for him l should have to
vote for electors picked out by Richard
Croker We are powerless to win this
year, We must make a beginning and
the sooner the better"
Mr.. Chapman concluded by expressing
the hope that the Independents and the
AntiImperialists would be able to get
together in the nomination of a third
ticket.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Chapman's
address, the convention adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman. 1t is prob
able they will be called together again
after the nti-Imperialists have hold
their first session tomorrow.

The Ashevile Citizen has an editorial
Indicating that the recent appointment
of Colonel Jas. e. Boyd to the judge3hip
of the United States District court for
the Western district, was not intended to
be permanent There are, it says, many
who claim fair share of political insight,
who believe that it is for the recess of
Congress only, and that the name of
Senator Pritchard fer the place will be
sent to the Senate when it meets again
in December. This may be true, but il
appears scarcely reasonable.

dispatch has been received from the AS

''The glory of today's fighting belongs
to the Japanese. They did all the hard
est fighting. The Americans were in re-
serve and had no casualties. The Japan
ese, advancing across the plain, had no
shelter and fanked the Chinese from
their strong mud walls and trenches, ex-
tending five miles. The feature of the
battle was the magnificent Japanese cav
airy charge which resulted in the cap
ture of ten field guns. The Chinese re-
treat was orderly and they left but few
dead on the field. The correspondent of
the Associated Press counted two hun
dred dead or wounded Japanese. The
British loss was two men killed and a few
wounded. The British naval brigade guns
and two big Russian guns had a duel
with the Chinese guns, which resulted
in sflencing the latter.
