He DIES SELF-SLAIN
Pistol Report Rings out on
the Street.
And John W. Philips Of Rccky Mount Falls
Bleeding and Dying Upon the
Paw ment.
lspecial to Now. and observer.)


Rocky Mount, N. c., Oct. Outstanding
upon the public street here this morning,
John w. Phillips, a resident of this place,
drew a revolver from his pocket. placed
the muzzle against his right temple, and
as the sharp crack of the exploding car
fridge echoed on the air, reeled and fell
bleeding upon the pavement
Several passers-hy ran to the fallen
man and bore him to the office of DR..
George L. kimberley, but the suicide was
beyond human aid. Within fifteen min
utes he was dead He never spoke after
the firing of the fatal shot.
That the deed was premeditated, how
ever was proved by paper found in Mr..
Phillips pocket. On this he had written
that it required more courage to live
than to die and that he wished to be
laid to rest in the old Phillips burial
ground at the home place near here. he
added that he wished the funeral to be
as simple as possible and begged that the
services might be conducted by DR.. W.
D. Morton, pastor of the Presbyterian
church here.
Mr.. Phillips leaves a wife and eight
children. He was a son of Dr. Phillips
and brother of Judge Fred Phillips and
Hon. j. r. Phillips, of Nash.
For some time Mr.. Phillips had been a
sufferer from extreme melancholy. AT
che time he was chief of police here, but
owing, it is understood. to some friction
with the town government, he resigned
his position and has since been without
employment.
1t is believed that brooding over this
latter fact had much to do with driving
him to self-destruction. He had told his
family more than once that he meant
to end his life. but wnen he left nome
at o'clock this morning none OF ms
dear ones dreamed that in short tune
he would he borne back to them bleed
ing corpse.

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.

Everybody is congratulating Mr.. j. A.
Long the president of the State Fair,
upon its marked success. The Society
is fortunate in having such a wise, sue
cessful and public spirited citizen in
that high position. With the intelligent
CO. operation of the other officers, he
has made the Fair of 1902 a memorable
one.
Yesterdays Raleigh Christian Advo-
cate prints the picture of Mr.. Long that
appeared in Sundays News and Observer
compliment:
I'VE take pleasure in presenting this
week to our readers Hon. j. A. Long, of
Roxboro, president of the North Carolina
Agricultural Society, known as the State
Fair. His vigorous and up-to date man
agement has made the Fair, which is
in progress this week the greatest in the
history of the State.
He is a strong factor in the industrial
life of North Carolina, being one of the
largest property holders in the State.
He is farmer, merchant, banker, cotton
mill owner, railroad director and manu-
facturer. The Lynchburg and Durham
Railroad is q practical product of his re-
ourceful brain. AS State Senator he has
achieved an enviable reputation in the
political world.
But the character of ]. A. Long as a
Christian gentleman is his richest pos
session. He is member of the Method
list church in Roxboro, and is a verita-
bic Sunday school and prayer meeting
Methodist. His place in these meetings
is never vacant when he is at home.
His name is a tower of strength in the
cause of --ghteousness in his section.
1.-The State is to be congratulated on
having him as the president of the Fair. -
The people of the State will be graft
fed to know that Mr.. Long was unani-
mously reelected President of the Fair.
His private interests made it a sacrifice
for him to serve. but with the public
spirit that always chaeacterizes him he
could not resist the urgent demand made
upon him, and he accepted the position.
His acceptance insures another record
breaking Fair in 1908.

AN INSULTING INITIATION.

That was fine point which Mr..
Kitchin made in his speech at Durham
on Wednesday night in defending the
independence of the cotton mill opera
tives from the implied reflection of Re-
publican leaders. AS soon as the amend
ment was adopted few cotton mill own
ers stated that hereafter they would
vote the Republican ticket. Thereupon
the Republican leaders announced that
mill owners would carry all the mill OPP
eratives over to the Republican party
and that they would carry every county
in which the mill vote was large. They
assumed that the mill owners would take
mill operatives would supply to the Re-
publicans the votes heretofore given by
the negroes. But those few mill owners
who have attempted to deliver the goods
have found that operatives in mills do
not sell their vote to the man for whom
they work. to be delivered to the Re-
publicans to supply the loss occasioned
by the disfranchisement of the negroes.
Most of the cotton mill owners are
Democrats, and they recognize that the
men in their mills will vote their con-
victions.
The insult will be resented by the mill
men next Tuesday. Watch the majorities
in the cotton mill counties and you will
see them mount up high against the Re-
publican party.

reports that have been circulated against

me except the man who is marching I'M

Re1errlng TO his opponent and the tactics
OF the Republicans he said that the
amendment to the constitution, which
dlsbarred the negroes, he said that they
had learned to put better men at the
head of their ticket and had to put up
man under the name of Democrat. Not
withstanding this it is the same old par
ty and the same old leaders. He spoke
of the claim being made by the Repub-
licans that they would carry every manu-
featuring town and said that it was an
insult They think and say by intima-
ton that the business men in these towns
will take the place of the negro lead
ers and that the workingmen will take
the place of the illiterate and ignorant
negro vote. 1t is false statement
and a false and Insulting intimation.
Mr.. Kitchini closed his fine speech
by saying that he expected much from
Durham county. He said that he could
carry every county in the district but
he. wanted a majority that would be
larger than ever before. Durham, he
said. would roll up a large majority
again for him.
THE speech was a fine one and the
entire attention of the large crowd was
held from the start until he had closed.
He was at his best"
Mr.. Allen Daughtry, of Sampson, who
was in Raleigh yesterday says the fight
is hot and close in Sampson, but that
the Democrats expect to win.
David B. Hill expresses the opinion that
Coler would carry New York State by

Odell to come TO the Bronx with more

While Democrats everywhere are eX-
pected to vote the straight Democratic

efforts which have been made by men
claiming to be Democrats to defeat
Judge Clark. the head of our State

pains be taken to counterfeit those

CLOSE FIGURING ON NEW YORK.

CLOSE tIGURlNG ON NEW YORK.
New York World.
The most stalwart of the Republican
organs in This city said yesterday that
it was at liberty TO tell the result of the
private Republican poll of the prospective
vote of the State next Tuesday 1t re-
elects Governor Odell by $500 plurality.
This corresponds very closely with The
Worlds estimate from the reports of its
correspondents on Sunday which put
Governor Odell's plurality at "about TO-
Co.,"
These estimates justify The World S
editorial statement that New York is
always a doubtful State except in years
when the conditions are abnormal as
in 1896 and 1900. And when private
Republican poll claims plurality OF
only $500 in total vote of 1,500000 it
must be admitted the doubt is very acute.

The Republicans say that the Demo-
Gratis are inconsistent because they used
to abuse them for organizing negroes and
now that they have kicked them out of
their conventions we say they are show
ing ingratitude to q people who have
been faithful to them. That is not incon-
sistent at all. We always told you that
you were a lot of hypocrites; that you
were no more friends to the negro than
we; that the white blood in your veins
tingled with shame when you marched
them up to the polls to defeat your white
brethren, and that you would have moth
ing to do with them but for the loaves
and fishes which you purchased with their
votes, and just as soon as the masses
of negro voters are disfranchised, behold
you go and kick out even the most in
telligent OF them, the ones who are left,
showing that you not only were hypo-
critics but that you are ingrates. The
Democrats never abused the negroes
They are not responsible for the politi-
cal evils which have come to us through
their race. The white Republicans thrust
the ballot upon them, and drilled them
;ear after year into casting it always
against their white neighbors. Democrats
have never been so unjust as to abuse
the NEGROES for what they were not re-
spousible for, and they dIsfranchised
him not so much as an act of punish
ment to him as to deprive the bad white
men who used him of their power. And
! now they have the cheek to say "You
have taken the negro's ballot from US;
give US yours.
