Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Fowler in Joint
Debate.
Fayetteville Observer.)

Chairman of the Cumberland county
Democratic executive committee, Fl. L..
Cook Esq. and eX-Congressman John E.
Fowler, Populist, of Clinton, had joint
discussion at McMillan's Chapel in Flea
Hill township last night on the Constitu-
tional Amendment.
Flea Hill, it is we'll known is the hot
bed of Populism in Cumberland, and, with
the negro vote, rolls up such mejorities
against the Democracy as three and four
hundred. Partly as a result of the dis
cusson last night and partly on account
OF the refusal of many Populists to fuse
with the negro, this majority will melt
away next month, and we trust will dis
appear entirely.
1t was Mr.. Fowler's appointment, and
therefore the great bulk of the crowd
were Populists, or ex-Populists, number
ing at least one hundred and fifty, many
of whom came from great distances and
Sampson county, while there were hardly
fifty Democrats present. The school
house was too small to hold the crowd,
therefore the speaking was held in the
open air Mr. Fowler spoke for an hour,
Mr.. Cook following for the same length
of time, and Mr. Fowler closing with a
twenty minutes reply.
Mr. Fowler is strong speaker-one
of the strongest the Fusionists have in
the State-1and he was frequently ap-
plauded bg his numerous partisans pres
ent Though his speech was delivered
with great force, he offered nothing in
opposition to the amendment, except what
is in the Populist hand book His whole
theme was fear of its unconstitutionality,
otherwise he said it was a good thing.
Mr.. Cooks reply was we'll suited to
the occasion and a friendly debate. 1t
was clear, concise and clean, logically put
and eloquently delivered, as Fowler in his
rejoinder had to admit. 1t was without
passion, and yet impassioned; it was
without the demagogy of Fowler, and yet
it must have sunk deep into the hearts
of his hearers, opponents though they
were 1t was grand sight-this sturdy
young American standing in the midst of
this great Populist gathering, with the
light of a full moon Frightening up his
firms features-pleading with winning
oloquence to lay aside all bitterness and
prejudice and make a bold stand in be-
half of good government and future peace
and order throughout the State. 1t did
great good and must have exposed the
folly of the arguments of Mr.. Fowler, in
his contention that the amendment is I'M
constitutional, to every one but the most
hopelessly prejudiced present.
Mr. Fowler's rejoinder was occupied
in attempting to patch up what remnants
Mr. Cook left of his first hours speech.
One Populist declared himself con-
WINGED by Mr.. Cooks speech and de-
clared for the amendment and white SUI
premacy. Twelve doubtful men declared
themselves for it. Great good resulted
as we have since learned.

B. R. LACY SPEARS AT NEWTON.
A Powerful Address to the Workingmen That
Will Bear Fruit.
(special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Newton, n. c., July 1S.-Mr. Ben r..
Lacy, candidate for State Treasurer,
spoke to a large crowd of mill operatives
and citizens of the town in North New
ton last night. There were a great many
ladies and girls in the audience. The
manager of the Newton cotton mills closed
down his mill during Mr.. Lacys speech
to allow the operatives to attend the
speaking. This being the only mill run
ming at night at present, all the mill
operatives were out to hear him.
Mr.. Lacy was introduced by Mr.: w. G.
Femster. He began by telling the people
that he was the first mechanic ever put
on the Democratic ticket and explaining
the Importance of the fact.
He showed that the Southern man did
not bring the negro here. and showed
why North Carolina seeded.
He paid a high tribute to the valor OF
the North Carolina troops as having been
1.-The first at Bethel, the farthest at
Gettysburg and the last at AppomattoX."

bravery of the Confederate soldier he
said. sis because of the threats that But

plause).
In speaking of the negro, he said. The
great mistake that the Yankees make is
that they think that negro is black
white man. But the negro may become
as white as the fairest lady in this au-
dience and he will be no n -arer the white
race than a mule is to the fastest race
horse God slanted back that brow and
thickened that lip and made him an in
ferior creature. Now if there is any man
here that thinks a negro is as good as he
is, he certainly doesn't have much opin-
ion of himself and isn't as good as any
body else in this crowd"
He told the great difference between
the negro in slave times and at the pres
ent Also of the great honor conferred
on North Carolina-an honor conferred on
no other State in the Union-the honor
of being represented in the Congress OF
the United States by negro-the negro,
Geo H. White. But you say that he is
from the Second district and that doesn'
affect you here in the West. But it does.
When Pearson and Crawford were con-
testing for the seat in Congress and the
vote stood 127 to 127, who settled it? 1t
was this same negro, Gee. II. White.
He explained the amendment fully in
such way that every one of his hearers
could understand it. He showed how
great force the girls would be in the
education of the boy who became of age
after 1908.
A beautiful bouquet from some of the
ladies was presented to Mr. Lacy at the
close of his speech.

Pharmaceutical Association met in their
DIST annual session here this morning.
First Vice President r. H. Jordan, Of
Charlotte. is presiding in the absence of
President J. B. Smith, of Lexington, who
is detained at home on account OF sick
ness.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev DR.. A. G. Voigt, and Brooke G..
Empie Esq, delivered the address of
welcome, which was responded to by A.
G. Cook, of Fayetteville. Reports of
various officers were heard and discus
sion of the general violation of the State
pharmacy laws ensued, which was par
ticipated in by H. #. Hicks, j. Hal Bob
bitt VIM. Simpson, of Raleigh, and w.
II. Wearn, of Charlotte. The discussion

Brevard, N c., July 1S.-Hon John NJ
Campbell, of Asheville, filled the appoint
ments OF Hon. Claude Kitcnin in this
county Friday and Saturday, 18th and l4th
instant.
A crowded house met Mr.. Camp bell at
Eastatoe last Friday and listened to a
two hours speech by this earnest, jealous
Democrat We think much good will re-
suit to the white mans ticket by reason
of Mr.. Campbell's speech in that neigh
borhood On Saturday Mr.. Campbell met
a good crowd at the court house in Bre-
ward and excelled himself at Eastatoe.
His earnestness for the cause Of White
Supremacy was depicted in his every SEN
tence. He was often applauded for his
'hits" on the hypocritical revenue dood-
leers, who are prying into the homes of
the iliterate white man of western
North Carolina posing as great eXpound-
ers of constitutional law, and seeking to
misead the unlettered. During the course
of Mr. Campbell's speech one smart
Alex" Republican thought he would in
teriect some questions that Mr.. Campbell
could not answer. But he was sadly dis
appointed and after getting a first rate
drubbinG folded his tent and silently stole
away
The Democrats are very much aroused
and few more such speeches as j. M.
Campbell's will stir them to fever heat
and telling results will be seen on
August End. So mote it be.
Pennsylvania Democrats hope to excel
their record in 1898. They carried the
county Democratic with the exception of
sheriff and one commissioner This year
they have an exceedingly strong ticket
of decent, honest men who seem determ-
ined to win and we believe that everyone
of them will be elected
