373 Marriages in Wake This Year.

Since January 1st there has been 373
marriage licenses issued from the Regis
ter OF Deeds office of Wake county.
This is in excess of the number gener-
ally issued up to this time every year.
During the month Of October there were
u more licenses issued than any other
month of the year, owing to the fact,
perhaps, that many couples came here
daring the Fair to get married and spend
their honeymoon on the Fair Grounds.
Below is given a table showing the
months and number of licenses issued:
January, As: February, 40; March, 40;
April, 35; May, 81; June, II; July, "a;
August "a; September, So; October, 81.
Total, 373.

No True Bill Against Ange.

Especial to the News and Observer.O
Washington, n. c., Oct. 31.-The grand
jury today failed to find a true bin
against William Ange, charged with the
wrecking Of the Washington and Ply
mouth mail train last August. 1t will
be remembered that Hurricane Branch's
bloodhound was taken to the scene of
the wreck, struck a trail and followed it
to Ange's house. The railroad company
claims that Ange told a man how he
wrecked the train and that was told the
officials.

Is Trying to Fool Folks With

Appointments for speakings in the County or

Citizens viii pay no Heed to Men
Who Sneak About and Make
False Statements on the
Eve Of Election.

The ''Sneaks' is the proper name for
the so-called Observation-Disclosures
publican ticket in Wake county.
From first to last it has done its work
in a sneaking manner, it has not dared 10
come into the light, but has skunk away
into dark corners where it could plot its
dismal and shabby campaign.
It's county ticket was named by one
man, a chronic oftice-seeker. Most of the
men named on the ticket have With
drawn, refusing TO permit the use OF
their name, and yet his Sneaklng crowd
has printed tickets bearing the names oil
mon VINO have more than once refused
to accept their nominations or permit
the use of their names. No self-respect-
ing party Will put on it's ticket men
who spurn their party and treat Its
nomination with contempt. But the
"Sneaks' seem to think they can gain q
little responsibility by pursuing such q
course.
The campaign has virtually closed. Or
every stump in Wake county, day and
hight. the Democratic candidates have
discussed the issues of the day with the
voters. They have sent out their can
didates to preach the Gospel Of Coco
Government. They have nominated {
ticket of honest, capable, fit men. These
men have appealed to the people upon {
nigh plane and have convinced them tina
the Democratic party deserved to win
During all these days and nights tha1
the Democrats have been speaking tt
the people face to face, what has the
Sneak party been doing? Have any OF
its candidates addressed the voters il
anv precinct? Not one. Have they sent
out any literature stating their position
upon public questions? They have not
They have been Sinking about the cit5
and country, begging this or that mar
to go on their ticket, Offering induce
ments to men to vote for them, and in the
meantime seeking in the public mind tt
convey the impression that the Demo,
Gratis had no opposition and that they
need not work to get out their vote.
Last night the reason for their gum,
shoe, sneaking campaign became appar'
ent. They believe the Democrats o
Wake are lulled to sleep in a feeling 0
security, and so they have planned thei
campaign, as they think, at too late
day for the Democratic leaders to war;

circular seems to be an imitation OF
Senator cha attempt to scare the
farmers by telling them that next june
the Tax Assessors will increase the as
sessment of their lands Every other
species of property is now taxed to It's
fullest extent"-and there is added the
words, THE land next Every farmer
in Wake county who has an acre Of land
knows that it is assessed by farmers
in his own township, and he is not AFRAID
to trust them to make the assessment.
They know that the talk of unfair as
sessment. is a miserable trick of dema-
gogues, and they Will pay no attention
to it. There is nothing in it. The Dem
ocrats will not do anything except what
is fair, and all stories to the contrary
are false.
The next statement in the lying cir
cular is that Mr.. Herbert E. Norris is
1.-The attorney for the Tobacco trust
This is a plain, simple, unvarnished lie.
Mr.. Norris is not now and never has
been, directly or indirectly, an attorney
for the Cigarette trust or any other trust,
and any statement to that effect is false.

decency about them, would they keep 81

Democrats weeks ago sent out their doc

The voters could weigh and investigate
for themselves. That is the only way
to treat intelligent voters. The Sneaks
wait until they think it is too late for
any rcfutation and then they, in a sneak
ing way, send out a circular which ought
to be called "A PACK OF LIES

Last night circulars were sent out
ovec the county by the leaders of the
Sneak party announcing s~peakings III
various parts of the county. They did
not state who would speak. Think about
it, voters of Wake county! These So
called Independent voters have refused
to discuss measures of Importance with
the people when their statements coulG
be answered. They wait until the very
last day and the very last night before
the election before they make a single
speech. Isn't that proof that they dare
not let the people hear both sides?

reads.

No party or crowd of men, who stink

back-rooms, put on unfit men and men
who repudiate their nominations, aud
wait until the last day before the cleo

such gang can get the support of many
decent Wake county voters. OF all the
people in the world, the people of Wake
county love fair play. They do not like
folks who take them for fools. They will
have nothing to do with a gang that is
afraid to ask their votes until the day
before the election, in order to be sure
that their false statements Will not be
exposed. The people should pay no at

utter on Monday and Monday night fo1
these Will be as false as their whole

A HOT SKIRMISH.
Colombian Rebels Fire On Govern
ment Boats, Killing One American
KevOIutionists Lost Every Man In
Sight. 40 or so In Number.

Panama, Nov. 13.-The first Ameri-
can casualties as a result of the revo-
luton occurred Tuesday. The Colom-
bian feet captured a boat having on
board correspondence showing the
whereabouts of two revolutionary
schooners loaded with provisions. The
government warships headed for the
place and on arriving there the Bo-
gotta formerly the Jessie Banning),
manned by an American crew, com
manded by Capt Marmaduke, low
cred two boats with armed men, but
as the schooners were aground they
waited until high tide to attack them.
In the meanwhile the revolutionists
were discovered in ambush close to
the beach and when the BogOta's
boats pulled ahead the second time
the rebels opened fire on them, kill
ing the ships armorer, Richard Kane,
of Washington, and woundng George
Walker, who was shot through the
legs. A seaman named Clarke and
Lieut.. NasqueZ were also wounded,
but not seriously. The Bogota and
Chucuito then opened fire on the en-
emy and killed every man in sight.
One shot fired at a group of ten
rebels who were most actively en-
gagged in shooting at the boats crews,
killed every one"of them.
Gunner Cross, of the Bogota, thinks
that from 40 to so rebels were killed.
One of the schooners, the Helvetia,
loaded with rice, was captured, but
the first shot at the second schooner
set her on fire and she was complete
ly destroyed with her cargo. The
body of Kane will be buried here with
military honors.

FORMALLY DISBAND.
An Association of Furniture Msnu-
facturers Goes Ont Of ExIstence.

Cincinnati, Nov. 1.-THE National
Association of Chamber Suit Manu-
facturers, who manufacture all kinds
of furniture, excepting chairs, uphol-
stored parlor furniture and iron bed
steads, met here Wednesday with
about 125 members present, repre-
senting about that number of manu-
featuring plants. After an all-day
session they agreed that there could
be nothing but disagreement among
them regarding prices, the most inn
portant and practically the only mat
ter that had claimed the attention of
the meeting; accordingly they for
mally disbanded the national associa-
ton.
The strife over prices was caused
by the determined stand taken early
in the session for a sharp advance by
many delegates. Other members as
stubbornly opposed marked advance
just now, their chief argument for
keeping prices down, Notwithstanding
the constant upward tendency of all
materials, being that such action
would be giving competitors who
were not members of the association,
too great an advantage. 1t became
clearly apparent that there could be
no compromise or agreement on the
subject, so that an abandonment of
the association was the only thing in
order
