He Shelled the Woods in North Carolina Nothing Like It Since Yance Was In His Prime Is the Verdict of the Press and People. The following extracts from the Fayetteville, N C., Observer will show the impression made by our senior Senator when he spoke in that city la^t week: Yesterday was a great day for Fayetteville and all the Cape Fear country. It was the occasion of the speaking in behalf of the restoration of white rule in North Carolina by Senator B. R. Tillman, the liberator of South Carolina. Instead of the beautiful October weather which we have been having, the weather changed on Thursday mVht. It befran to rain about 1 a. O w m. Friday morning opened with a down pour and there were showers during most of the day. The number has been variously estimated at from seven to ten thousand. Many cf the multitude who lined the streets and filled the windows en route were unable to attend the speaking. The great outpouring of the peo pie under such adverse circumstances is suggestive. It should cause those who persue the business of politics to stop and think. What is the secret of the magic in Tillman's name? Simply that the great body of the plain people?those who constitute nine-tenth of our voters?believe in his honesty and truthfulness. As advertised the speaking was at the fair grounds. The judge's stand on the race track was used for the speaker's stand, and the grand stand and may rows of benches constituted the auditorium. ? f HAm f li/i JLue processiuu aimicu huuj iuv Lafayette hotel at a little before 12 o'clock. Three hundred horsemen in red shirts took the lead. After them came the float d^awn by four fine horses and occupied by twenty-two beautiful young ladies in white, representing the twenty-two precincts of Cumberland. Then followed a carriage containing Mayor Cook, County Chairman Husk, Major E. J. Hale and Senator Tillman. The next cirriage contained Messrs. H. McD. Robinson and J. W. Atkinson and Hons. Thomas W. Mrson and W. H. Kitchen. A long line of carriages and other vehicles followed. Oa either side marched the "White Government Unions of Cumberland, escorting their guests and the visiting delegations from Wilmington, Benn'ettsville and other points in South Carolina, Lumber Bridge, Red Springs Maxton, Lumberton and others. Senator Tillman spoke for an hour and a half. There has been no speaker here since Vance who so moved the multitude. Several times he was about to conclude, but the crowd insisted that he go on. They would have heard him as long as he could speak. He has a very remarkable manner. He is altogether out of the common. His thoughts come clear aDd logical; he has a ringing voice and imperious gesture; his sentences are well constructed; his illustrations striking and picturesque aDd bearing the flavor of a wholesome country life: his delivery deliberate in the main, but running into great rapidity of utterance at the climaxes. I The speaker apologized for having | to say such plain things about his i hosnitable entertainers, but he was I invited to come as an expert to diagnose the disease of the North Carolina patient and his task would b2 useless if he failed to use the j surgeon's knife unflinchingly. But ! the multitude assured him that that was precisely what they wanted him to do, and they yelled with delight at every cut into the sore of machine politics. It was evidently an audi i ence of sound minded and sounc hearted citizens, b.mt on hearing ad i vice from the leading political doctoi I of our day and section. If then ! were any present whose toes wen I trod on, they have discreetly kep quiet. It is conceded on all hands tha i the great South Carolinian's speed ! produced a profound impression o; Democra s and Populists, and that i will cause many of the latter to re ?Y G( [. MOUCKTOI>' f Your Valued Patron t irn to the white man's party. It is a pity that it could not be spoken in every precinct in the State. If so, the issue would not be in doubt for a moment longer. 0 , Tillman's speech is a rouser. It i has awakened a spirit which will ; echo from one end of the country to the other and reclaim many straying Populists. The Populist leaders of Cumberland county are dismayed over the great speech of Tillman yesterday. They know he told the truth and admit it. Some of them say it is too late to return, but it is never too late to do an honest thing. Come back, friends. When Tillman put the screw on his mouth and winked the blind side of bis face, it was a study for the gcds?and all concerned. The secret of Tillman's great power in South Carolina was revealed * TT- *? # i i__ l I here yesterday. His wonaeriui Knowledge of human nature, absolute fearlessness and 6upurb frankness and his entire freedom from hypocrisy. Ei-RUNfl'S ' VICTORY. b Dr. S. D.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: It is evil sign of the times, and means no good to our beloved country to see the way some of the "leaders of the people" are breaking the laws of the State. Many of our laws are violated, at times openly, but it is the game law I wish to write about. It is deplorable that many of our 90 called "best people" are openly violating this law. In the fall before the season specified opens and in the spring after it closes we have seen prominent churchmen with dog and gun walking over the country shooting every partridge sighted. It I is unreasonable to expect the people generally to keep this or any other law if those who mould public sentiment openly violate it, and this is what makes it a serious matter. We have recently seen a professed embassador of Christ?a minister of the gospel?thus engaged with no apparent remose of conscience at having violated the law. What will be the consequences of all this? Wliere will such a leader lead his 1 flock, and what kind of citizens will ! the boys make who are thus led? Is 1 it possible that the very men who ' ought to lead to a strict obsei vance 1 of the law, can lead our bright boys ^ in the direction of lawlessness and 1 anarch}? It is time for serious reflection on the part of all who are i 1 concerned in the future destiny of our commonwealth. When the trusted r promoters of the moral progress of g the cmntiy are indifferent as to their B exalted position thus allowing the moral progress of our country to J "die at the top," it is time to have ; those thus offending removed aod t ; more fa t-jful men made shepard [j o~ the flecks, men whose pastoial | virdts aie conspicious for prayer inQ | stead uf powder, especially powder t j that is used in violation of the laws of the land.

We are sorry to chronicle the death little Carrie, the youngest daughter j of Mr. Marion Bickley. She died of ! typhoid fever and her remains were 1 laid to rest at St. Jacob's church last Tuesday. We had the pleasure of attending j one of those old time corn shuckings | at Mr. Jacob Swartz's one night last week, and would say that after j Eihueking until after eleven o'clock, the crowd assembled in the house and found a table filled with every- j thing good to satisfy the inner man. | Mr. Swartz is an up to date farmer j and will raise his own hog and horniny at home. I Prof. U. M. Slice, who has been at j home for several months, has gone to ! Columbus, Ga., to complete his busi- i ness course. The little son of Mr. Luther Slice, ; while placing on a big pile of cotton seed one day last week, sucked one i of the seed up his nose and the pa- 1 rents had to take Jimmie to Dr. i Sease and have it extracted. Mr. Eddie Eleazer is through grinding wheat and is ginning the four cent stuff just the same. Messrs. James Lindler, John Frick ; and C. P. Williams each raised about | thirty bushels of rice. This year it j will not be hog and hominy with ! them but simply ''Old Ned'; and plenty of rice pudding as a rarity.

Now, farmers, select some of ycvr four cent cotton land and sow it in wheat and make preparations for your home supplies another year.

From Cole Connty Democrat, Jefferson City, Mo. When li grippe visited this section about seven years ago Herman H. Eveler, of 811 W. Main St., Jefferson, Mo., was one of the victims, and has since been troubled with the aftereffects of the disease. He is a well known contractor and business man requiring much mental and physical work. A year ago his health began to fail and he was obliged to discontinue work. That he lives to-day is almost a miracle. He says: "I was troubled with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart and a general debility. My back also pained me severely. "I tried one doctor after another and numerous remedies suggested by my friends, but without apparent benefit, and began to give up hope. A CONTRACTORS DIFFICULTY. Then I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People extolled in a St. Louis paper, and after investigation, decided to give them a trial. "After using the first box I felt wonderfully relieved and was satisfied that the pills were putting me on the road to recovery. I bought two more boxes and contined taking May, 1897.

Dr. "Williams* Pink Pills cure people troubled with the after-effects of the grippe because they act directly on the impure blood.

The People of Vicinity Lynch the Two Negroes ^ Augusta, Ga, Oct. *25?After a coroner's inquest, during which Jim Mackie and Luther Sullivan implicated each other in the murder of Mrs. J. 0. Atkinson at Republic church, Edgefield county, about 14 miles across the river from here, in South Carolina, both men were shot to death tonight bv the enraged Deo * u i pie of the neighborhood in which the murdered woman lived. The assassin fired at her from the roadside late at night while she and her husband were returning from Augusta to their home. The crime ^ was committed one week ago. It seems that there was a conspiracy against the life of Mr. Atkinson, who is the only white man in a wide radius that is inhabited by negroes. FULLER DETAILS. Augusta Herild. Edgefield, S. C., Oct. 2G.?The Atkinson murder investigation reconvened yesterday. Testimony upon . testimony was heard. Substance is about as follows: Jim McKie stated that Squire Green did it. Afterwards j he stated that Andrew Lee told him J he did it. Later Jim stated that it I was Luther Sullivan behind the pine ' tree. He recognized him. Squire j Green denied knowing anything ^ about it. Andrew Lee showed his innocence in the manner he conducted himself while your reporter was examining him. He asked the jury to allow him to wipe Jim McKie out of existence for lying on him. Then came the tug of truthfulness. Luther Sullivan denied having been behind the pine or baviDg spoken to or seen Jim McKie, and swore he heard McKie say he was going to get Atkinson out of the way in order to get his place and run a big farm. John Smith was released?showing clearly he was in Athens. About dark the jury stated to the coroner that they had heard enough testimony at present. They retired and instructed the coroner to have Jim McKie, Wash McKie, Luther Sullivan, Squire Green aod Jim Smith committed to jail and have them brought back November seventh for farther investigation. It was rumored that they would be lynched if started to Edgefield. Cool heads tried to keep it down and publicly advised it. Sheriff W. BT. OutzV was present and deputized a number of men to accompany-the piisoners to the jail. They all formed a line, with the prisoners between them and began to march towards Edgefield. "When they had gone about three hundred yards from the church not a sound could be heard, but everything marching on. When the word "bait" was given, instantly followed by a volley of shots, the deputies jumped to one side. Jim McKie and Luther Sullivan fell the moment the word "halt was finished. Wash McKie ran at the crack of the first fire across the field. He was fired at a number of times, but it is not known whether he was killed. Squire Green and Jim Smith were delivered to Judge Gatzen to be delivered this morning- We have not heard from them, but the impression i3 that they will be safely committed. The inquest will be held over the dead negroes today. The shooting occurred exactly one week almost to the minute from the time Mrs. Atkinson was shot in sight of the place. The deputies prevailed on the crowd not to shoot after the first fire was heard, but with no results other than a continued shooting. Ths Bsst Plastsr.
