GOODWIN, N. c., July 10,
The Peoples Party Convention
was held in the court house in Fay.
etteville, Saturday July 7th. A full
house Of all political creeds, and as is
usually reported by Democratic pre-
VarlcatOrs, we did not have even one
negro Wench in attendance. A more
harmonious Convention has not been
held since General Lafayette was
there.
First on the programme was the
speeches Of Capt. J. 3. Lloyd and
Hon. John E. Kelly, of South Daco-
Ia, the speeches were very interest
ing and did much good; cannot tell
what Ethe Democratic gentlemen
present thought of them, but think
the all-absorbing topic in their cam
paign was well handled-the negro.
The following ticket was nomina-
ted:

CATAWBA P0PULIST CONVENTION.

DIR. Thompson Addresses n Lnrg- Crowd
OF Voters strong Ticket Nominated.
Catawha County Populists met In
Convention ia Newton on Saturday,
July 18th. The large court house
was crowded with farmers and vo-
tiers, estimated at from 500 10 | 900.
a more intelligent body of honest.
determined farmers and good citi-
zens never met anywhere 10 hold a
convention and to hear political
speaking.
The Populists and Republicans.
have agreed 10 run a joint ticket In
Catswba. The Republicans had al
ready nominated their part Of the
ticket. The Democrats nominated
men for the following Offices: Rep
re--entative, Sheriff, Coroner and two
Commissioners. The ticket named
by both parties is good, strong one.
Capt James ii. Sheriff. was nom
mated for the Legislature. There l.
no better man i'm the State. lie j. q
farmer and one of the most promi-
nent men in the county. He j. also
a Christian gentleman and has the
confidence Of everybody, and IL there
is fair election, the ticket will win.
That is ona Of the white counties,
yet it is said the Chairman of the
County Board Of Election says they
are going to carry the county, if They
have to count out 300 voters. Ii
this Is not disfranchisement, what I.
it?
After the Convention, DIR. Thomp
son made champion speech in be-
half of political liberty in this coun
try. His arguments were unan
swersbIe, and did great good. Hi.
, logic cut to the quick. One it'll,
Democratic lawyer, who had on 10,
much tea, got his foot into il, by
asking few silly questions and by
getting up on the platform. Hi,
friends felt sorry for him. The Doc
tor diagnosed the lawyers case snC
made q pOst-mortrm demonstration
of it before the people, and III. ssic
the lawyer had not recovered from
it five days afterwards. Tho-e wis
think Thompson can't tell the diff
ference between cramp collie and /
common, every day drunk, by tn
drippings from the tongue, is badl!
mistaken.
The Doctors speech was q vote
maker, and all who heard il, do no
blame Aycock from running from
Joint canvass with Thompson.

DR. CROWELl is AGAINST 1T

The Newton Enterprise Nisrepresents
Him, as it DOES Others
The Newton Enterprise reported
that Aycock, in his speech in Lin
colnton, convinced DR.. Crowell. q
prominent p ysician of thai tOun
ty, that the amendment was cor
stitutioDai and that he (CrowelD
would now vote for it.
DIR. CrOwell was in Lincointon
Monda, to hear DR. Thompson, and
DR.. Crowell said hat the report
was untrue AID that he had writ
ten the editor Of the Enterprise to
correct it. Or. Crowell will vote
against it.
1t is strang- hat the Democrats
have 10 misrepresent men in order
to make it appear that they are
fooling some p ople 10 trust their
fair promises and sworn atfidavits
But it will fool n, one, and shows
the weakness of sher cause.

To the Times-Democrat.
Section ; of the amended suffrage
amendment is unconstitutional, in
my opinion, because it establishes a
privileged class of voters for three
generations without qualifications,
while it imposes qualifications on all
other citizens, and because, in fact,
it discriminates against the colored

Granite Grange, No. 1872 North Searsport,
brate it's sth anniversary. A goodly number
was present, despite the bad travelling
Worthy Master W. J. Mathews called the
meeting to order, and the following program
was successfully carried out: Singing by
the choir. There has been a marked in
provement in the choir the past few months.
Bro. Thos Nickerson as leader and Sister
Hattie n. as Organist make things jingle.
Bro. Fred Black then read the following
history of Granite Grange:
Worthy Master, Brothers and Sisters: AS
7 you all will remember Granite Grange was
reorganized April 90, 1892, and you will re-
were young in grange work. We were
enthusiastic; we pushed the work, and we
gained reputation, an enviable reputa-
ton, as Grange. We have 274 names
written in our records, and of this number,
death has claimed Is members brothers
and sisters, The first meeting in this hall
was Sept 4, 1894. These are the main his
tOrical facts | shall present. One year
ago Granite Grange was pronounced dead
dead past resurrection. In looking back
the bright spots, the big enthusiastic meet
ing, big feasts, the midnight reyels, and all
that. We do not care to remember the
small meetings, the life and death struggles
for existence which occurred more than
once. And that is right. Let us remember
only the bright spots in our life as a
Grange The records tell US of small meet
ings all the way along through lS94-5 and &,
when we were near the top rung of the lad
der of Grange fame. Three times | noted
when Is to II members met. The number
was not considered large enough to open
the grange and there was no meeting held.
Time after time the program was tabled;
could not be carried out because OF ahSen-
tees The secretary makes the record for
April . 1885: program was nearly all
absent, as it usually is And now cannot
see but that our programs are carried out
about as well as they ever were. and with as
much ability. Take for instance, the meet
ing for March Goth with n members present,
when the sisters had the program. What
more spirited discussion of a question has
the grange ever listened to than was had at
that meeting? | shall not attempt any pre-
diction for the future of Granite Grange.
do not believe that the grange is immortal;
but | do believe that Granite Grange will
live bright star in the galaxy of Oranges.
Next on the program was an illustrated
reading by Sister ID. A. Lowe; defamation
10y Lester Dow: instrumental music by
Frank Trundy and others; question, Resolv-
ed, That shallow blowing is better for hoed
crops than deep blowing; aft, W. NJ. Math-
eWs; neg. \. Stinson; singing by the choir;
instrumental music by Sister Hattie Nicker-
erson; recitation by Sister Louise Merri-
thew. A bountiful supper was served. and
the occasion was a most enjoyable one.
