sprung at 1886 p. M, and Daniels was
pronounced dead by Dr.. n. G. Shaw

Dover, at 1857 p. m. There was no
struggle, though the fingers quivered

AFTER THE GRAF TER
Granville Sets Pace For
Defeating Conspiracy.
Democracy Of That Grand County viii
Vote For No Man Who Will Re-
open Debt Settlement of
1879.
Especial to News and Observer.)


oxford, N. c., May 19.--At the
Granville County Democratic conven-
ton held here ryday Judge Graham in
troduced a most important resolution
bearing on the scheme to reopen the
1879 settlement of the State debt in
the interest of parties who have been
scheming to compel the payment OF
the repudiated bonds The people
here recognize that the South Dakota
bond scheme was but the entering
wedge Judge Graham,s resolution,
which was unanimously adopted, is
as follows:
Whereas. the State. of North Caro-
lima after great deliberation and care
in 1879. passed an act to compromise
and settle the State debt on terms just
to ourselves, in view of the great
losses sustained in the war and deem
ed so Just by our creditors themselves
that it was accepted by an overWhelm-
inc majority of them. And whereas
a syndicate has been for years buying
UP at a discount the bonds not brought
in under the act, and are also buying
UP the infamous special tax bonds,
with q view of forcing this State to
ray the same through the courts. And
whereas, this conspiracy having failed
so far in the courts, an effort is now
actively on foot to promote the cleo
ton of a Legislature favorable to leg
islation in favor of the syndicate, and
an effort is also being made to manu-
facture or mislead public opinion in
favor of such schemes of the syndi-
cate.
Now, therefore, we, the Democrats
of Granville county, in convention as
sembIed do pledge ourselves to vote
for no man for the nomination for the
Legislature or any State office who
will not pledge himself to oppose any
movement at any time to reopen the
compromise and settlement of the
State debt made by our representa-
tives in the General Assembly of 1879,
and to prevent our people being sad
died with the immense sums which
would be required to pay the princi-
pal and nearly 40 years accrued inter-
est which would be entailed on us by
re-opening the settlement of 1879.
Resolved further, that we invite the
neonle i'm our sister counties to join in
this contest by the passage of similar
resolutions

Asheville, N c., May 19.-The case
against Capt Ferrell and Chas. Bum
gardner, the two Democratic regis
trars who were indicted in the Federal
court in 1902, charged with refusing
to register negroes at the November
election that year, were called in the
United States court yesterday for the
fourth time since the two men were
indicted, and the cases continued until
the November term of court. The rea-
son assigned for the continuance of
the cases was that Attorney General
Gilmer will represent the Ashevilie
registrars and also other registrars i'm
dicted at the same time and for the
same cause, and that the Attorney
General desires that the case against
John Simpson, the Rutherford county
registrar, be tried first. This case will
be called at Charlotte next Monday,
and the result will probably determine
whether the cases against the other
Democratic registrars will be prose-
cuted. If Mr. Simpson is acquitted
or if the case is mol pressed, the indlct-
ments against the other men will very
likely be dropped. The Asheville reg
istrars renewed their bonds in the
sum of $500 each.
