THE SEMI-EEKI MESSENGK:3RIDAY; AUGUST 19, 1GC3. What Republicans Say of Populists, LOGKEY TO GOME DOWN To .Take Iloom for the Populist Ju dicial Nominee Hapld Development In the Cotton 711111ns Industry But ler Will Have to Change III Course I Again to Keep from Being Bun Over by IIU Party Ituell Tries to Sup press Annual lie ports of the Labor I'andthe Kalltvay Commission Messenger Bereau Raleigh, N. C, August 15. Both republicans and populists here eay frankly that C. P. Lockey, who is the republican nominee for judge in the Eastern judicial district, will be taken down ,in favor of the populist nominee, Loftin, of Lenoir. Populists here say Lof tin's nomination was made to get the Lenoir county populists in line with the republicans. Last Sat urday Carl Duncan, Senator Pritch ard's representative here, was heard loudly praising Loftin and it was at once suspected that the nomination of Lockey was a mere sham. Of this today's statements were positive proof. Much rain has fallen. Today is the sixth cloudy day in succession. Yet the rains have not been general. For instance, last Saturday Green county had the first rain in quite a -while. The development of new cotton mills continues quite rapidly. The belief is general in the state that a period of great prosperity is now beginning. So far the year has been a very pros perous one, along all lines. Commer cial travelers say the business out look is good. It is said by some of the republicans that Senator Butler is working earnest ly to have Wililam A. Guthrie the can didate of populists and republicans for judge. J. C. L. Haris recently gave out the news that there was an effort to have Major John W. Graham, of Ilillsboro be the candidate but it ap pears this did not materialize. While there is no doubt that the Skinner faction of the populists will defeat Senator Butler here this week at the state committee meeting, there is also , no doubt that Senator Butler will once more swing with the tide and again be a leader. Populists who oppose him admit this. They say- he is a past master of the art. The populist convention in Pitt county Saturday was lively and the vote was divided between Harry Skin ner and E. A. Moye. Skinner is sure to get the congressional nomination. Hiram B. Worth, son of State Treas urer Worth, was today placed in a hospital here. He has typhoid fever. He came home sick from Burlington a week ago. He is secretary of the North Carolina railway. . Governor Russell today issued a commission to Adjutant General Cowles as brigadier general command ing the brigade of the state guard. The adjutant general says the purpose of this is that when the brigade is in camp he will be in command. Under more liberal policy after this year there may be brigade encampments yearly. If there is such a policy it will probably be national instead of state, as the present administration of North Carolina does nothing for the guard. Every day members of the negro regiment in camp at Fort Macon are to be seen here. Furloughs appear to be singularly easy to obtain in the case of this regiment. Some of the re publicans term the regiment "the po litical regiment," but they are using for all it is worth as a campaign ar gument the appointment of all negro officers by Governor Russell. It is asserted by the state labor com missioner that the returns this year show a considerable increase in wages as compared with last year. Some of the republicans talk as if they believe they have bought the pop ulists "on the hoof" and say they will easily hold at least nine-tenths of them. There are many populists not office-holders who deny the statement and say they propose to astonish the republicans in November. Sheriff and Tax Collector J. F. King, of Swain, has failed and assigned, ow ing the state all taxes. A judgment against him and his bondsmen has been secured by State Treasured Worth in Wake superior court. Work has begun on anew domitory, 100x90 feet and three stories high for the negro deaf-mutes and blind; also an industrial building 78x41 feet and two stories high. Governor Russell, it is learned de sires to prevent the publication of the reports of the labor commission and railway commission this year, on the ground that it would save money. He was told by the auditor that he had 310 such power, as annual reports are J required by lasr.. Inquiry was made today as to the status of John E. Fowler, populists noirinee for congress in the Third dis trict A populist said: "It wilt de pend ;jpon how Fowler can handle the negro vote. You know that takes money. Some leading negroes are against Fowler and it will require money to work them, if they can be worked at all. Fowler may get through, but I would not give much .for his chances." .A. D. K. Wallace, populist state com mitteeman from the Ninth district, says A lot of the populists will support Richmond Pearson, ' the republican nominee? tor congress, on account of the national administration and on ac count of Pearson's national views and personality. -v . :. . w . XSif SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY At imnes tn Illinois A Body of Union Men Fired Into by Non-Union Miner Great Excitement. Pana, Ills., August 15. The coal miners' lockout here reached a climax today when a serious shooting affray occurred on the highway near the city limits, leading to the Sprlngside coal mine. This Is the only one of the four large coal mines in Pana that is at tempting to do any mining, and but seven non-union miners are working here. The seven go heavily armed to and from the shaft, in addition to being under guard of operators and' deputy sheriffs with Winchesters. The union miners have been trying to induce these few non-union miners to cease working at the Sprlngside mine by congregating on the roads and plead ing with them as they go to the shafts in buggies driven by operators and deputy sheriffs. Today several hun dred union miners were congregated on the principal highway leading to the mine, when. Ed. Jones and James Palmer, non-union men, rode upon horseback into the miners' lines and without any precaution, it is said, other than the miners asking to talk with them, began firing into the crowd, at the same time retreating as fast as their horses would carry them, but not until they had emptied their revolvers into the miners' ranks. Andrew Toomey had his right hand badly shattered by a ball and Michael Yer macavich was shot in the thigh. One other union miner is alleged to have been seriously wounded. A ball graz ed the head of William Baker, another union miner. The union miners quickly rallied and, headed by Baker with a shot gun, which he secured at his home near the scene of the shooting, pursued Palmer, the non-unionist, to his home, where he had surrounded him self in his doorway by his female rela tives to prevent "Baker shooting. Later Palmer and Jones were arrest ed and taken to the city jail which is surrounded by several hundred min ers and citizens.. Excitement is intense. The Greatest Discovery Yet. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., "Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as grood, bedause this remedy has a re cord of cures and besides is guaranteed It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at R. R. Bellamy's drug store. FRO.TI DENMAUK TO MARTINS' Work on the Coast Line's New Road Starts Soou Short Route, to Augusta The Augusta" Chronicle of Sunday says: "The Atlantic Coast Line company, which has built a number of small roads in the eastern part of the state, and which has recently gained access to upper Carolina by the purchase of the Charleston and Western Carolina railway, is now preparing to build the connecting: link between Denmark, on the Manchester and Augusta division of that system, and Martin's, on the Charleston and Western Carolina rail way, says a correspondent in The Charleston News and Courier. The route has already been mapped out by the Coast Line's engineering corps and the stakes placed. Tour correspondent is reliably in formed that the contract for the grad ing of the roadbed has been let, and the work is to be completed within six months. The distance from Denmark to Martin's is only 30 miles; from Martin's to Augusta is 41 miles over the Charleston and Western Carolina; from Denmark to Augusta over the South Carolina and Georgia it is 57 miles. Hence the distance is about the same. As soon as the roadbed is graded the Coabt Line will have the track laid. This connecting link will give the Coast Line a direct route and trackage into Augusta, instead of connecting; at Den mark with the South Carolina and Georgia road. Once they reach Au gusta the extension of the Coast Line into Georgia, and possibly into Flori da, will be an established fact, besides having a direct route and connections into the Piedmont section of this state."

At Camp Thomas Chlckamauga National Park, August 15. There w ere no changes in the usu al run of matters at Camp Thomas to day, except that an order came from the war department for the First Ver mont infantry to return to Vermont and go into camp there, carrying with it a train of twelve wagons and twenty-four miles. The regiment will break camp the latter part of the week. It was learned at headquarters this evening that the Third Kentucky, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana and Fifth Illinois, now at Newport News, are to proceed to Lexington, Ky., to go into camp. Improvements are being made in the hospitals as rapidly as material can be had. Politics is a game at which two can play, and if our religious organiza tions un-der the lead of college resi dents are going to advise their adher ents to vote for the depstruction of state institutions, it would be only natural for the equally misguided friends of those institutions to- com bine in an attack on church schools, by prejudicing the people against them. The North Carolina Pres byterian, as the friend of every insti tution in the state that is doing the work of educating the people, deplores such a conflict and has no sympathy with either side. There is room for ev ery college that we have and more. Let rivalry be honorable and competi tion have free play. Let each denom ination conduct its own educational system as If none other existed, and let the state furnish every educa tional facility for which the people are willing to pay. And let us have peace. Charlotte Presbyterian. . - i OUR SAILOR ROYS News From the Beloved Nantucket Interesting Notes of Life on the Moni tor Expect to te Homeward Bonnd Next IHontn, The following exceedingly interest ing letter was received In this city yesterday from Port Royal, S. C: Dear Jim: The sun shone with all its mighty lustre this morning, usher ing in a beautiful Sabbath. It was pleasant to see fair weather as the past week has been almost a continual rain. We have finished the Rar est week's work ever put in by the naval reserves since they were mustered into service. Monday and Tuesday was occupied in casting out anchors, heaving anchors and swinging the ship in position, but Wednesday and Thursday were "the days." A number of prominent mili tary men from Land's End, the naval station, - and Beaufort, came aboard early Wednesday morning and at 9:30 o'clock (muster) Lieutenant Mcllhen ny Informed the crew that there would be no drills in exercises or small arms and, after announcing that we would have general Quarters and target prac tice with the 15-inch turret guns (No. 1 gun, "Sprunt No. 2, gun "Foster"), the crew went hurriedly to the bag room to change their dress to working uni form. At 10 o'clock, with the visitors standing on "the bride," the "clear ship for action" was sounded by Bu gler Redd and a stampede followed for the assigned positions. Every obstacle was cleared from the deck and stowed in the proper place below and the guns run out ready for the command to fire in seventeen minutes, which was superb work as every ventilator, stan chion, hatch, etc., had to be unscrewed and all the battle plates screwed down. Every visitor pronounced our rapidity marvelous and the crew even won dered among themselves as it was their first attempt while being timed. At 12 o'clock the target, which was like a small sailing craft, was an chored about 1,500 yards from the ship and without dinner, the fires being put out while the magazines were open, the gun crews worked manfully until late in the evening when powder be came compressed in the vent holes of "Sprunt" and the fuses failed to ig nite the powder. No. 1 crew was or dered to secure the "Sprunt" until next morning, which was done. All the shells fired came in close range of the target and with the exception of one would have struck an ordinary ship or fort. Some shells were exploded with three second fuses and some with five. Thursday morning the following members of No. 1 gun crew went in the turret to endeavor to discover the trouble with the gun and fire same if possible: Lieutenant McKoy, Barber, Latham, Marshall, Morse, Parker, Do zier, Lewis, Lumley, Hancock and Piatt. Every conceivable plan was tried to get vent cleared and at about 12 o'clock she was shot off thundering and whizzing on the line of the tar get enveloping it in such dense smoke that it was not visible for some time. The shell exploded just back of the target. It was a great relief to those of the gun crew in the turret when their gun was cleared of an obstruction of over 400 pounds which it would have been very dangercJEIs to extricate, although there wrould have been fifty or seventy-five men to have volun teered to go into any danger. The boys are anxious to do something praise worthy before returning home. Friday boat drills, going after target, housing and tricing awnings and fixing haulers were the order of the day. For drills the fire alarm was sounded and the crew were to their stations in a "jiffy." Today we are resting up, answering letters and taking life easy. A select crew of fourth-class liberty men took a nice sail to Beaufort, leav ing the ship at 4:30 in the afternoon and returning next morning. They re port very pleasant time. The thanks of the crew are extended to Mr. Wm. Neistlie for his kind re membrance of the boys in sending them cigars and tobacco. Mr. B. F. Keith spent last Sunday aboard ship with the boys who were very glad to see one of our represen tative business men. Messrs. Gause, Pinner, Skipper, Smith,; Pearce, Sowell, Barber, and Gibson have returned from a pleasant stay in Savannah. The Misses Beach, of Crescent City, Fla., who have been visiting Savannah, have returned home much to the regret of some of the Nantucket's crew and Holton, Mar shall and Burr are the saddest of the sad. They realize that no more sweet fruits or pretty boquets wrill reach them to make pleasant their stay in the navy. Fred Neff, the gentleman from Swit zerland, with fairy tales of the high Alps, and Charles Smith, with his jokes in German accent, make many a dull hour pass off pleasantly. "Large Caper" Ivy Taylor, "Medium Caper" Redd, and "Small Caper" John had a very nice little lunch last night in their lunch room after taps. No one knew a thing about it. "That's the caper, John. I'll muster in this suit if you muster in that. They can't do any more with me than they can with you. Hal Ha!! Ha!!!" Sinclair has come in possession of a quaint old plug which he now calls his own and has donned himself with it, although ship's carpenter Furlong claims to have bestowed it upon Tom Fiver's noble "cocoanut." Nevertheless "Scotchie" has added it to his ward robe and as he laid it down to talk with some ladies from Beaufort, "Zacharia" Lumley was kind enough to give the crown a coat of red lead, and now Sinclair, when he dons his pretty clothes says he is painting this red for the Sixth district's next congressman, Jno. D. Bellamy, of New Hanover. . An iron bar fell on Coal Passer Wil liams' head, cutting a gash which was fixed up by Apothecary Taylor in the absence of the doctor. Williams resum ed his duties at once. It is rumored on pretty good authority that we will have new boilers put in before we go out of commission, which, if so, will be good news for our boys. We expect to return home about the middle of next month. Uncle Pompey Robinson, who is termed as Reverend Pat. Flynn, and Jimmie Legs Hodges, who is called Jailer King, are kept busy with pris - oners and the brig is never empty. One of our quartette of young, and very clever officers, Chief Furlong, is expected back today. TRest Remedy for Flux Mr. John Mathias, a well known stock dealer of Pulaski, Ky., says: "After suffering for over a week with flux, and my physician having failed to relieve me. I was advised to try Chamierlaln's" Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, an 5 have the pleasure of stating" that the half of one bottle cured me.".. For sale by R. R.

What Can be Done Elsewhere Can be Rone In Wilmington While other towns and citizens are growing in prosperity with their man ufacturing enterprises, why cannot Wilmington join in the industrial pro cession? We see by The Chattanooga Trades man that the Crowder's Mountain Cot ton Mill, at King's Mountain, N. C, has declared an annual dividend of 25 per cent, and a correspondent writing The Tradesman from Torkville, S. C, sends this interesting item about the successful operation of the cotton mill at Clover, York county, S. C: "The stockholders of the Clover Cot ton Mills Company have declared a dividend for the last fiscal year of 124 per cent. The report of the sec tary shows that the mill has made a net profit of over 25 pier cent, during the year, and the other 12V2 per cent, was set aside for betterments. The plan began operations a little over seven years ago and annually made costly improvements, every dollar of the money so expended being paid out of the earnings. Notwithstanding this outlay the mill has paid in dividends more money than the stockholders originally put in. The plant has near ly doubled its original value, and the management intends to soon double the capacity of the mill." Wilmington's New Canning Factory Mr. Oscar Fillyaw's canning factory which was started up three weeks ago, has shut down for want of stock to work up. He hopes, however, to start again in a few days. He has been making a specialty of tomatoes, but the incessant rains have cut off the crop so he could not get enough fruit to keep going. Mr. Fillyaw's factory is in. rear of his store, on the northeast corner of Fourth and Bladen streets, and its capacity is 1,000 3-pound cans a day. The goods which he put up is of very fine quality, and all he wants is plen ty of stock to run on. Messrs. Williamson & Jones' canning factory In East Wilmington has been operating to its full capacity. Rig Excursion From Greensboro A big excursion arrived here yester day evening at 6:30 o'clock from Greensboro over the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway. It was under the management of Joseph and Ander son Nelson, colored, and they brought down a crowd of about 500, mostly colored,. One car was reserved for whites. The Greensboro band colored, come with the excursionists and played on the way down. Some of the excur sionists went to Ocean View, while others staid in the city and took in Hilton Park last night and rode about the city on the electric cars. This morning at 9:15 o'clock the steamer Wilmington will take the ex cursionists to Carolina Beach. They will come back this afternoon and leave for home at 8:30 o'clock tonight.

COUNTY COmilSSIOXERS Adjourned meeting Held Yesterday Afternoon to Rear Complaints About X&x Assessments Valuation of the Stork of the Ranks Fixed. An adjourned meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held yesterday afternoon for the special purpose of hearing complaints on the tax assessment of property made fdr this year. All the members. Chairman Moore and Commissioners Boatwright, Barry, Alexander and Cowan, were present, as was Register of Deeds Norwood who officiates as clerk. Many petitions for the reduction of assessments were received and action on quite a number was deferred. In some Instances the valuation was re duced. After all complaints were heard sev eral other matters were attended to. On motion of Commissioner Alex ander, Mrs. Fannie Farrow, of Mason boro township, was allowed $2 per month. Dolly Lark ins, an aged colored wo man, was allowed to have her prop erty listed free of costs. The stock of the National Bank of Wilmington was assessed at $100 per share; the stock of the Atlantic Na tional Bank, $130 per share; the stock of the Wilmington Savings and Trust Company, $50 per share. Commissioner Boatwright, of a spec ial committee, reported that he had as certained that the present incumbent of the office of standard keeper was using the weights and measures of the county unlawfully. On motion, the county attorney, W. B. McKoy, Esq., was Instructed to write and ask that the weights and measures be turned over to the county. Then, the meeting adjourned. A NOVEL INVENTION Fireman Yatew Again Greatly Benefits the Department, Ladderman John Yates, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, who is al?o superintendent of the fire alarm eys tem, is continually devising schemes by which the department is greatly benefitted. His latest "concockion." and it is an exceeding ingenious one, was to fix a way by which the hook and ladder house is instantly lit up by electricity just a second before an alarm sounds. Ever since the paid department was instituted, electric lights were placed in the different houses. These lights, heretofore, have always remained on during the entire night, much to the regret of the firemen, but they knew to out them would endanger their lives when compelled to respond to an alarm at night. So Ladderman Yates put his brain to work on the subject, and now he has perfected, and which he has carried into effect in the hook and ladder house, an electrical apparatus, which connects with the hammer of the bell of the indicator, and whenever the hammer is raised to hit the gong in stantly the lights in the house are on. Doubtless, all the houses will be fitted out in this manner. OfTfor Wilmington (Raleigh News and Observer.) That penitentiary report is supposed to have gone down to the coast to take a salt water bath. The last seen of it, or rather heard of it, was to the effect that it had left Raleigh and gone via Goldsboro and Castle Ilaynes to Wil ington.where it will perhaps run the gauntlet of the rice farms, take a dip in the sea, and then subject itself once again to the scrutiny of Jno. R. Smith and Claudius Dockery, who were to meet in Wilmington yesterday. Clarke, of Halifax, who is a member of the board and other "experts," have been laboring with it for weeks, and it has become so soiled that nothing less than a thorough washing in the ocean could make it presentable. So the ex superintendent and chairman of the board are said to have agreed to meet in Wilmington yesterday and give it the necessary salt, water bath. It will be fortunate if it escapes without be ing burglarized or having some of its provisions stolen by the municipal gang and their allies who are in power In that city. About one month ago my child, which Is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea, acocmpanied by vomiting. I gave It such remedies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon ob tained relief it would not live. Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I de cided to try It. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and It is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va., For sale by R. R. Bellamy.

The Common wealth has only to repeat what It hast said for months and months, that It it the result of foolish disruption among the white people of the country.

Scotland Neck Com monwealth. It is needless to say that the dem ocrats would still foster the Interest of the negro, but the vile speeches that come from some of the leaders since the republican party came in to power shows that they are un grateful, and hold malice ajralnst thr white man, and the appointment of so great a number to offlcea. which in many cases they are Incapable of nmng. ana the fact that such bd- polntments caue them to become insulting and obnoxious to whlto people, is causing the white people? alarm, and they are awaking to their duty. We say the white men are wil ling to give the colored man a fair showing, to protect his interests anil try to elevate his race, but. It is now evident that, with all their kindly feel ings toward the negro, the white men of North Carolina do not propose to Uc ruled by the Hf.OQO negroes. Plymouth Beacon. To our brethren In the eastern part of the state negro domination has al ways been unbearable. The negro him self is not to be blamed for getting all he can out of the party to which he belongs. He is the great power of his party In the south. He is the army and doe9 the fighting. The handful of republican white men are the officers and rake in most of the spoils of vic tory. The negro, however, cannot lw blamed for RreedUy snatching up what few sops are thrown to him. Hut he is not fitted by nature to rule. He can not dominate where Anglo-Saxon flourish. In the south and this utato the republican party has In the pant been responsible for negro supremacy, carpet-bag ru'A and general Incompe tency in government. The populist party, the Rreat "reform party of tlva present, han consented to negro su premacy. It has been found wanting after the opportunities of power which fell in its way.
