TROUBLE FEARED AT CAROLINA.
BY scr,pps- McRae Press Association
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 2.-Today
will decide the fate of negro suf-
frage in North Carolina.
Practically every man in the
state went to the polls armed
and it is feared there will be
bloodshed.
Troops are still under arms.
The Hon. F. NJ. Simmons who
is chairman of the democratic
state committee, says;
I'VE are ready for the ballots.
The indications are that we will
poll the biggest vote ever polled
in the state. The Aycock ticket
will be elected and the amend

largest maiorities ever given in
the state since the war, and we
will have a large majority in both
branches of the legislature.
"There is no animOsity on the
part of the democrats toward
the negro. We simply want him
to know, and intend he shall
know, his place.

There Advance on Pekln May Result
En nassacre of Foreigners There.
German General, Won Lessei
Commander In Chief.

London, Aug. 1.-The British
cabinet met yesterday at short
notice, and, without doubt, dis
cussed the new aspect of the
Chinese questionable use made
of the foreign legations and re-
fuge hostages. That such a
condition exists has been blurted
out by Ii Hung Chang, and is
clearly stated in a dispatch re-
ceived from Rome, where the
Chinese government is expected
to order the foreigners to leaye
Pekin at once, if an advance on
the capital be attempted.
What ever may be the view of
the state department at Washing
ton, the officials here are con-
vinced that the Chinese govern
ment, under the guise of protec-
ton offered to the legations, is
seeking to hold back the allied
forces until terms of peace can
be settled on a basis of financial
indemnities. The legations will
be exposed to an attack from
regular troops or f kom the Box
ers if the allied army advances
from Tien Tsin. The Chinese
have 600 hostages whose blood
will be declared to be on the
heads of the advancing batta-
lions, and hence it will Oe dan
gerous for an army to march on
Pekin until the foreigners have
been delivered from their criti-
cal position.
Press dispatches yesterday
we're meager. the most import
ant point being the announce
ment on Chinese authority that
the legations were safe on July
24.-The situation is one which
requires firm action and sound
judgement. The drouth enables
the allied army to move toward
Pekin during a season when the
district is ordinarily flooded, but
the Chinese government is pro-
tecting itself against aggressive
action by exposing 600 foreig-
ners to the menace of a fatal
attack, and, meanwhile, in order
ing up reinforcements from
various provinces, including the
Black Flags, the worst ruffians
and criminals IN the empire.
Berlin, Aug lit is reported
here that Lieutenant General Won
Lessel, commanding the Ger
man forces in China, whom En-.
deror William has just promoted
to the rank of general com mand
ing an army corps, has beer
selected as commander in chiel
of the allied forces.
This is not confirmed.
The foreign Office is deeply
mortified at the failure, hither, Il
agree upon commander in chic
of the allied forces. A higl
official said today:
"The civilized world will lool
on with astonishment if the res
cue of the members of the lega
tions is delayed oreperhaps frus

ny is ready to march her troop

From the Northwest Country.

Mic Mayrath and wife returned Thurs
day night last, after absence of five
weeks. visiting friends in Illinois, Indi-
Mrs. Mayrath's birthplace. While alb
sent they attended some harvest festivals
and njoyed the pleasure of seeing some
fine productions and participating in some
pleasant pastimes. Mr.. Mayrath lived in
Chicago previous to coming to Ford
county, and during his absence he met
many old friends. Mic took some notes
of politics during his travels He found
a strong Republican sen timent every
where. In Wisconsin particularly, every
county in that state but four will go over
whelmingly for Mckinley. In Illinois
and Indiana the Republicans will carry
those States. The trip was very pleas
ant one for Mr.. and Mrs. Mayrath, who
return in excellent health.
Mr.. Mayrrth says there are more polit-
zeal badges or buttons worn in the west
than in the northwest; and during his alb
sence he noticed the lack of political
enthusiasm, though the Republicans
were arousing interest. The apathy
was largely on the part of the Democrats.
The people are enjoying the fullest con-
hdence under present conditions, and
under such conditions there is slack in
politics. He noticed good crops every
trip was of particular interest, as he
had not been in the northwest country for
many years.
