REPUBLICAN CRY OF PopULIsM.

Inc republicans are trying TO make
II appear that there is great dissatis-
faction among the democrats of this
state and that a great many who for
merry affiliated with that party are
just waiting for an opportunity to
hock over to the populists. They
know no one will believe the state
ment that their w party will draw
heavily from democratic ranks. SO
they do not make that cry, but they
attempt to resurrect the popu1ist party
for h purpose OF decoying democrats
from their own ranks through the be-
lief that there is something of a popu-
lar wave in that direction. That there
are some populists in this state no one
will deny, but the strength Of the party
is by no means so great as h republic
cans would a the people believe.
Nor will the effort to revive that ar
tvs organization have the effect on
the strength of the democratic party
that the republicans are trying to
make people believe it have. All this
cry about the strength OF the popu-I
lists in this state m from the re-
publicans. You hear little Of it from
what few populists that are left to that
party after the republicans had swal-
lowed it. This is the supreme effort
OF h republicans to break the demo-
cratic hold on the state. They suc-|
ceeded in 1894 in securing the state
legislature by coalition with the pop
uiists. This alliance lasted only four
to power in 1898. Then the populists
went over to the republicans almost
bodily. They then drew from the
democrats all the d~isaffected who
were willing to seek redress for sup
posed abuses by joining their party'sI
political enemy. There is no more of
that kind Of material life in the party,
and the effort to recruit the populist
party and their W through it from
democratic ranks will prove futile.
Chatham turned from a strong demo-
cratic county to a hotbed of populism.
1t has come back to It's own and it's
people will not again be fooled by h
cry of h peoples party" The con-
ditions in that county are a fair illus
tratiOn of those in all other sections
of the state. The Pittsboro Record
says of this: a&.
Republicans have been trying TO
create the impression thai there is
going to be almost a republican "1and-
slide" in Chatham this campaign. No
thing a be more false. We have
failed to meet a single man who voted
the democratic ticket last elecuon who
says he shall vote with the republicans
this year. On the contrary. men come
into our office almost daily who say
they voted the republican ticket last
election, but that they cannot "swal-
low" Roosevelt or anybody who does.
n therefore they shall vote the dem
ocratic ticket this year from president
down to constable.

Editors of The Wilmington Messen-

Gentlemen,-My attention has been
called to the letter of your Red Springs
correspondent of August Goth. in
which he says:
DIR. Vardell mas purchased the
plantation of Mr.. William McYillow,
two miles east of town and is con-
Meeting it with another farm owned by
him, into an immense stool farm. and
will engage largely n the business of
raising stock for market"
This is ar entire mistake. n while
it will not mislead my friends in the
state, it may others who do not know
me.
The farm (about $50 acres) / W
is run exclusively to furnish milk and
other products for the Southern Pres
pyterian College. of which 1 have the
honor to be president. There is a
good deal Of fine stock on the place.
but it is the property of the institution.
My business is preaching the gospel,
and allied work. such a the conduct
Of this college, and I devote my whole
time to This. and have none for any
other employment.
Yours very truly,

CONDUCT OF THE MILITARY.
Final Session of the Court of Inquiry,
q Investigating the Conduct of he
Militia at ~StateSboro.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 31.-The final
session of the court of inquiry investi-
eating the conduct OF the state mill
tia at Statesboro.-when the mob took
the negroes Cato and Reed and burn
ed them at the stake, was held here
this afternoon.
Captain Robert NJ. Hitch. who COM
manded the troops; Lieutenant George
A. Nell and Lieutenant James W. Nc
Intyre, Jr.. submitted supplementary
statements in rebural OF evidence
given at Statesboro yesterday.
1t is believed that it will be ten
days or two weeks before the court
is ready to make its report to The gov
ernor. He will then decide what other
evidence is sufficient to order a court
martial for such of the officers and
men as he may consider to have been
derelict in their duty.
Lieutenant Nell said that he had
not told Lieutenant Cone at States
boro that il made no difference even
if the troops had no ammunition He
denied hat the deputy sheriff came to
him when he was in command of the
reserves and told him that he wa
needed at the court house with his
men 10 dio III the oeieise VI the pris-
onerS.
Lieutenant Mcintyre said he vas
sure That he had seen Lieutenant
Griner knocked down by the mob.
Griner said at StateSboro that he had
not been knocked down.
Captain Hitch positively identified
Cap B. 7. z. Mallard. the bailiff,
who testified at Statesboro yesterday
as the man who had seized and dis
armed him and showed him down III
steps. Captain Hitch said he could
not possibly lave been mistaken in
this.
Captain Hitch said }hat there wa.
absolutely nothing said hat woulc

presume that there was 10 be no shoot
ing done. The reasonable conclusion
was that shooting would be ordered

OUR WHOLESALE HOUSES.

her why not Wilmington also. Our city
has more wholesale stores than any
city between Richmond and Savannah.
The this condition affects u bust
ness men to greater extent than those
of any other city in the country lying
between these two points. Those a. the
wide-awake business men, and ii can
not be doubted that they have already
viewed the situation with an eye to
an increase of their business through
the enlarged capacity for buying BIZ
the farmers n citizens of the inland
mington, because of the splendid crops
of all kinds. Our Wilmington whole
ale merchants are not going to be
caught mapping by their competitors
of Baltimore and Richmond. Already
are they preparing for what can be
made the most successful business
rear among the wholeale dealers of our
city for a long time past. This means
advancement all along the mercan-
tile line in Wilmington. Good whole
sale business brings inland merchants
to the city. 1t increases the amount
of money in circulation here. 1t

the laboring man. You may be sure
the business men of Wilmington have
their eye open to the situation and
are going to take full advantage of the
bright PROSPECTS,

Why The Band Wanted $50.

Hood River, Or, Oct. 16.-Editor
Glacier In the issue of the Glacier
under date of October 6, 1904, appears
the statements, a. Il. Rand reported
that the Hood River brass band wanted
$50 for their services during the after
moons and evenings of the fair. This
"This offer was refused )" is correct, but
the first statement is misleading and
incorrect, The band did not ask the
$50 for its services for three afternoons
and evenings, as such a small sum is in
no sense an adequate compensation for
services covering such time. The band
did agree to furnish this music for $50.
Let US consult mathematics to aid in
our explanation. The wages of the
band boys during the time for filling
this engagement would be $Sl. This
amount Of wages (bread and butter)
would be sacrificed by the members Of
the band who are wage earners, for the
purpose of placing this $50 into the
treasury Of the band in order TO main
tain its organization. The difference
between the $Sl in wages and the $50
to be received from the fair, or $3l the
band intended to donate to the fair.
The figures are based purely upon a
wage basis. As matter Of fact the
band would have been $31 to the good,
ii the members had followed their sew
eral vocations and turned their wages
into the band treasury, during the time
covered in playing for the fair. Citizens,
now follows the cold facts. Any outside
band with the equipments of the Hood
River band, would have charged 5000
for services covering a period of three
days; this is based on a professional
service basis.
II the band had rendered this service
for the fair, the individual members
would have lost $Sl in wages, $3l TO the
treasury Of the band, the difference
between the amount Of $50 TO be received
from the fair and the $Sl in wages if
placed in the treasury of the band, or
total OF SIP.

Amos Underwood was in town the Other
day showing about $40 in gold dust from
his Mccoy creek mines. Abe Aims came
in from the mines after making a clean
up and brought along the dust, about 81
of it is in good sized nuggets. The sight
of the dust brought up memories of old
times in Alder gulch away back in the
sixties.
Amos Underwood says he has now
quit farming and will henceforth turr
his attention to mining matters. Mr.
Underwood has spent time and money
for years in developing the Mccoy creel
mines, and now that his fondest antici-
pations are about TO be realized, his
many friends will rejoice with him in
his good fortune.
John Dark and Abe Aims will soor
return to the mines and will spend the
winter there, having provisions enough
to last them all winter.
The Mccoy creek mines are situated
on the head waters of the Cowlitz river,
about 80 miles from Hood River. The
trail to the mines leads by way of Trout
Lake over high mountains and through
deep canyons and it is accessible part Of
the way only by pack animals.

HOME nine GETS
TWO STRAIGHTS

The best baseball games of the year
were played at Columbia park last week
between Hood River and the Golden
dale teams. The local nine was too
much by far for the visitors, who failed
to make run during the two days
playing.
Both games were splendid pitching
exhibitions. The playing was charac-
terized by snappy ball, and during Sat
urday's game but few plays were made
outside the diamond.
Danny Shea was a favorite with the
grandstand. He played ball from the
ringing of the starters bell to the last
out in the final chapter The visitors
played good ball and put up stubborn
defense. The work OF McInnis was a
feature OF the game, but it was like
a contest with Fate to think of winning
against the formidable array Of baseball
talent wearing the Hood River uniform.
The local team put up fine ball, and
the management is pleased over the re-
suits.
In the second game the visitors never
reached second base. Iberg was even
better than the day before. He seemed
to loosen up and show what he really
could do. While the attendance at the
second days game wasn't large, the two
straight victories without an adverse
score was satisfaction for most anyone.
