Tobacco Talk.

leading tobacco farmer of the wes-
tern section of the county was in Raleigh
yesterday, and speaking about tobacco
stated that in his section they had the
nnest crop of tobacco that had ever
grown there. There is one hundred acres
OF as nne tobacco, he states, as he ever
saw within mile square of his farm,
He says that all the farmers in his sec
ton want Raleigh to do is to furnish
them with such facilities and pay such
prices as they could obtain in other
markets, and they will bring their to-
oacco to Raleigh, as they prefer coming
to the capital city anyhow
The News and Observer thinks that it
is perfectly safe in promising the plant
ers of this western section, and every
other section as many advantages and
as high prices from Raleigh's ware
housemen and buyers as can be obtained
anywhere.
A gentleman from Panther Branch
township in the southeastern section of
the county, stated in Raleigh a few days
ago that there had been erected in his
township alone ninety-three new tobacco
barns this year, and that the tobacco
crop was looking splendid. "This to-
baco will naturally come to the Raleigh
market, said this gentleman, ''if you
treat US as well as other markets. Raj
eigh Is our regular market and our nat
ural inclination will be to come to Raj
eigh for it has been our trading place
always"
The Raleigh warehouses, prize houses
and other tobacco buildings are all being
repaired, remodeled and made ready for
the tobacco season.
The warehouse buyers and all will be
ready by the Goth inst, and it may be
that sales will be held before the regu-
lar opening on August list. We have
heard of nearly dozen barns of tobacco
already cured in the southern and west
ern sections of the county
We hear talk already of additional
warehouses and prize houses for Raleigh.
The people of the town are unit in
their interest in this matter and mer-
chants, bankers, manufacturers, property
owners, professional men and all others
are manifesting their interest and show
ing their faith by their work. Raleigh
Will need additional buildings and we
are not afraid to predict good returns for
the first new investment along this line
Raleigh has plenty of labor, now practi-
cally idle, for two or three stemmeries
They are coming too, end the first man
or company that builds one is going 20
be a winner.

ORDER OF NOMINATION IN
STATE CONVENTION.

A Democrat sends the following in
quiry:
II notice that one county in the East
runswick-instructed it's delegates to
vote for both Conner and Brown. Can
that be done without doing injustice to
the West? Will both candidates for
Associate Justice be nominated at the
the Western man be nominated separate
ly. Please answer these questions and
oblige."
These questions cannot be answered
order of business. If it should order d
vote for both Justices at the same time,
two Eastern men might be chosen 1t
has been suggested that the Convention
will probably order the nominations to
be made in the following order:
1. Chief Justice, to succeed Judge
Furches.
2. Associate Justice. to succeed Judge
Clark (and that here the contest would
come between the two Eastern candi-
dates.)
5. Associate Justice, to succeed judge
Cook (and that here would come the con-
test between the four Western candi-
dates)
4. The ratification of the nomination
of Superior Court Judges, already named
by the districts.
5. Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tons.
6. Corporation Commissioner.
If that order should prevail then the
county of Brunswick will, under their
instructions, vote half for Brown and
half for Conner. If both Associate Jus
tees are named on one ballot then
Brunswick would cast it's full vote for
both Conner and Brown

MR.. BUSHELS FOURTH OF JULY
SPEECH.

Our eloquent citizen. Hon. Fabius H.
Bushee, delivered Fourth of July ad-
dress in Halifax county at a Confederate
Veteran Reunion. The regular CORE
spondent of this paper, in wiring re-
port of Mr.. Bushels speech, said:
'Mr. Bushels speech soon left the
lines of the heroic deeds of old Con-
federates and was political in it's turn.
He made a strong plea for honest cleo
tions and independence in politics. While
many agree with him as to the ideas he
expressed, the large majority of those
who were present considered his speech
ill-timed and in bad taste. Mr.. Busbee
had no right to assume that the elections
in Eastern North Carolina were fraudu-
lent, and if his speech was an adroit
design to encourage disaffection in Hall
fax county he will find out that it was
a fiat failure. and it has been generally
criticised
This criticism has caused three lead
ing citizens to write communication,
which we publish today, giving the out
line of Mr.. Bushels speech. 1t does not
controvert our correspondents report but
gives reasons that mitigate Mr.. Bus
going to Halifax county to launch his
campaign of honest elections. we will
not speak, but as to the wisdom of going
to that county to advocate independence
in politics something ought to be said.
The people of Halifax have never de-
MED that they suppressed the negro
vote upon occasion in order to preserve
decent government. Mr.. Busbee approves
their action and has eloquently and nobly
defended them when assailed. For that,
all honor to him.
But the good people of Halifax know
that it is the Democratic party that
passed the amendment and freed them
from the dangers to which they always
stood exposed. They know that the Re-
publican party fought the amendment
with all it's resources, and would restore
unlimited negro suffrage if it had the
power They know that more negroes
will vote year by year under the amend
mcnt, and that if there is division among
the white folks, candidates will again
cater to the negro vote. They know that
the constitutional amendment is not a
permanent settlementsof the negro ques-
ton, and that the next generation will
be forced to devise some other method
to preserve white rule. Knowing these
things to be true they are too wise to
follow Mr. Bushels advice and vote in
dependently and advocate having two
PARTIES. They are almost a unit on ma
tional gainst trust breeding
tariffs, against Imperialism, against
legislation by and for money-bags. Upon
State issues they are in substantial
agreement. Whenever they differ they
are willing to be governed by the ascer-
tanned will of the majority of white
votes. They know they are free men, and
when urged to come out and be free and
independent they reply: Eve are free
and independent now and have never
been political slaves. We vote as We
please. If you do not, then go and dc
so and if you choose to cast your lot
with the Republican party, may The
Lord have mercy OH your soul.
That is the position of the Halifax

The Cumberland Vote For Associate
Justice.

To the Editor:-We notice from the
reports of the Cumberland County Con-
vention as published in some of the State
papers of yesterday, that a mistake was
made relative to the county's vote for
Associate Justices.
The facts were, that ITO voting out OF
120, Judge Conner received IS votes, Mr.
Platt Walker 20 votes, and Judge Brown
65 votes, the convention having voted
by townships for two candidates on each
ballot.
If you consider the entire vote as 10
then each of the candidates received q
majority of the conventions vote. II
you consider the vote as proportionate
part of 200, then neither candidate re-
ceived majority. 81.
The truth of the matter is, that each
Of the gentlemen named is entitled tc
his proportionate part of the vote OF
Cumberland county, to-wit: Judge Con-
nor 17-44, Mr.. Walker 14-44 and Judge
Brown 1874.
The writer of the articles alluded tc
was in error in saying that, according &c
the rules of the convention, Messrs. Con
nor and Walker are entitled to the unani-
nous support of the county. Under <the
rules of the county convention, each OF
the above gentlemen will receive his pro-
portionate part of the vote of .CumbeF-
land county in the State convention.

Democracy in the Dark Days.
Tuskegee, Ala, Aug. Fl, 1902.
Editors The Advertiser:
l notice in The Montgomery Journal
of August Goth communication signed
"Publicus,' the following extract:
Il notice that Cass Garrett and Char
ley Thompson are going to 'disfranchise
Colonel Brewer. Both of these bucks
are of Republican antecedents, their IA
theirs having been in the radical camps
during the darkest days Alabama ever
saw. and If the Booker T. Washington
antics of Charlie are a fair sample of
his own Democracy. the child has not
impro we'd on the politics of the parent"
At the suggestion of the many friends
of Col. c. w. Thompson, who have known
him from boyhoOd, l desire to pronounce
this statement untrue. and without the
slightest foundation in fact. William P.
Thompson, the father of Charlie Thomp-
son, was a popular and highly esteemed
citizen of our county for many years. He
was always a Democrat He was elected
Sheriff of our county by the Democratic
party in those dark days, and did as much
as any man to redeem our county and
State from the horrors of negro rule. He
risked his life and liberty, and for his
zeal and activity was arrested and ar
raigned by the villianous minions of the
Federal courts. He has been dead for
many years and was much esteemed by
our entire community for his many good
traits of character. None but ghouls
disturb the dead. We would commend
to Publicus the maxim, mi de mortuis
in 81 bonum.'
Such utterances will not harm Charlie
Thompson. He Is beyond the reach of
such slanderous shafts His Democracy
is unimpeached, and such efforts will
fall harmless at his feet. He has always
been in the forefront of every. political
battle in our county and district since
his early manhood. He was chairman
of the County Democratic Executive
Committee for several years He was
elected State Senator from the Twenty
sixth Senatorial District, composed of
the counties of Macon and Bullock He
was nominated and elected to the pres
| ent Congress, and has more than realized
the expectation of his friends. having
made an unusual record for ability and
usefulness to his constituents. Such at
| tacks should arouse the Indignation OF
all fair-minded Democrats in the Fifth
District and doubtless they will speak
| out in thunder tones on next Monday,
against such miserable practices and en-
dorse him for denomination by a majority
that will forever condemn such unworthy
schemes. Z. j. Bryan.
