Especial to eNws and Observer
Warrenton, N. c., August 16-It was
a fash in the pan right, was the her
aided mass meeting called by anonymous
circulars printed in a negro printing Of
fee for the mass meeting to start off
Judge T. ~ Hill for Chief Justice as
Judge Walter Clarks opponent.
The failure was such big one that it
is ridiculous. Six men were all that
showed M at it, and the roll call goes
this way:
j. =. LEACH, of Littleton, gold bug
ger, who voted for Mckinley and Pritch
ard Day Republican, ring leader.
S. l.. CROWDER, of Ridgeway, Former
Populist Clerk in State Treasures Of
flee for Father Worth, who swallowed
the whole Republican ticket two years
ago.
OWEN H. WYCHOFF, of Ridgeway,
Re Pop-P Pub from the North, who was
never heard OF before.
w. w. FIMPLE. Republican from
Pennsylvania
Jack PEGRAM. a new twinkle on the
political horizon.
NOBODY KNOWS who the sixth heeler
was, so his name fails OF record on TINS
illustrious list.
The Hill-Leach mass meeting mad Sc
cured the court house to meet in, but
as there were not enough to fill the door
way they held their pow-wow in back
room, and afterwards announced that
they had adjourned subject to the call
of j. p Leach. A more thoroughly crest
fallen set has never passed out OF War
renton 1t was a rout, complete rout,
and the penny whistle affair has not
broken an echo.
There has been dissatisfaction in War
rem county in Democratic ranks, but there
has never been but very few against
Judge Clark, and his name here will hardly
be scratched at all. Warren County De-
mocracy is straight and will vote straight
when the election comes. You can count
on your fingers all who are willing to go
into any scheme or party that will in any
way help to injure either the Democratic
State or County ticket.
The Republican county convention met
yesterday and sent solid negro delega-
ton to all the coming Republican con-
ventions. 1t made no county nomlna-
tions, nor did it name legislative ticket.
There We're about fifty at the meeting,
and of these all were negroes, except one
Robertson. whose wife is the postmaster
at Vaughan.
The convention met in a small school
house and it was livened up by strong
resolutions condemning Pritchard, while
II. H. Taylor, a negro ex-Lieutenant,
made fierce and hot speech. saying
among other things that Mckinley in his
grave was a liar and that Roosevelt and
Pritchard were both traitors and liars.
Cheatham, negro eX-Congressman, also
spoke 1t was conservative speech, CIV
ing good advice He advised the negroes
to be good Christians, humble and polite
citizens. to educate their children, learn
them q trade and keep them at home. He
advised the negroes not to ship them
North believing they would be treated
better. or thought more of, as their best
friends We're in the South and they would
be treated better here at home than any
where else if they were we'll behaved and
honest If they would act right the bet
ter class of white people would see that
they were treated right.
