Ever since the People's party
nominated Jas. B. Weaver its
Presidential candidate, rumors
have reached the public at inter-
of cruelty and oppressions
practiced by General Weaver upon
the people of Pulaski, Tennessee,
where lie was post commandant
for a brief term just before the
close of the war.
With a view of placing the pub-
in possession of the real facts
in the case, the Journal dispatch-

Weaver's record there, and to re-

THE ADVENT OF WEAVER-
It was into such a favored re-
that James B. Weaver made
his advent in the winter of 1863-
He came in that general move
of the Western armies which
began in that year and ended with
Sherman's march to tho sea. It
was about November that General
Weaver reached Pulaski as Colonel
of the Second Iowa Regiment of
Infantry, under General Dodge,
and was made commandant of the
post here- He held that place for
several mouths, in which period
he succeeded in making himself so
thoroughly obnoxious to the
over whom he ruled with an
iron hand that it is too much to
say that it would not be safe for
him to return here now, even after
the lapse of nearly thirty years.

gladly help lynch Weaver if he
should ever dare show his head in
Pulaski again without such a
escort as he had when he was
here before-
That is a fair of the pub-
sentiment here concerning Gen-
Weaver.
No despot was ever more hated
by his oppressed subjects than
era Weaver is by the
people of this country. The
of his oppressions rankles
within their breasts, and it is with
unconcealed satisfaction that they
express their contempt for him
and for the Southern white man
who will vote for him in the face
of this persecutions of Southern
people under the guise of military
necessity.

my oath that during the war,
while the present people's

stationed at Pulaski, he
took from me dozen thread,
worth at that time two thousand
dollars, and refused to pay f r it
or give any receipt whatever for it.
I afterwards employed J. G
as my agent to collect
pay for the thread- Whitson
wrote to Weaver about it and
Weaver replied that he had turned
it over to John F- Dillon, surveyor
of customs, at Nashville- Whit-
son then wrote to Dillon about the
matter and Dillon replied that
Weaver had never turned over to
him any cotton thread; that he
knew nothing about it-

I remember General Weaver
from one incident which impress-

transaction about Mr- Jasper Cox's
thread. My father, C H.
sold Mr- Cox a large lot of bacon.
This bacon Mr. Cox took to a
the adjoining
and traded it for cotton
yarn or thread, which he brought
back and stored in his house, it
being his intention to hold the
thread until the war closed, when
he hoped to sell it and buy him a
home- That thread represented
his accumulated savings up to that
time-
Alter Mr. Cox had gone off to
join the Southern army. Weaver
heard of this thread in some way,
and sending a squad of soldiers to
Mr. Cox's house, forcibly took it
away. Mr- Cox has never seen
the thread since, nor has he ever
been to recover one cent for
it
After Weaver had taken the
thread, my father went to him in
company with Mr. Cox's wife, and
begged him to return it, Mrs. Cox
pleading for it with tears in
eyes- My father showed Weaver
that Mr- Cox had come by the
thread honestly, having traded for

STEVENSON AT ROCKY MOUNT.
Despite the very inclement
and the failure of the railroad
to give any special rates for the
occasion, there was crowd
at Rocky Mount last Thursday to
hear Gen. A- E- Stevenson, the
Democratic nominee for
President. At one o'clock a hand-
some Democratic flag was raised
and very soon thereafter a pro
cession formed at Hammond ho-
tel and led by two bands and the
Rocky Mount Light Infantry,
marched to the immense Farmer's
Warehouse. It had been intend-
ed that the speaking should take
place in the fair grounds but the
rain this.
The warehouse was not long in
filling with several thousand
a large number of ladies be-
among them. Col. D. Worth-
presided over the meeting.
He first presented Chas. F.
Warren, of Washington, who made
a splendid speech of about twenty
minutes and closed by
ex-Gov. T- J. Gov.
Jarvis spoke for two hours and
made one of the best speeches we
have yet heard him deliver.
touching briefly upon State
matters, lie said the day having
been set apart for national
tics, from tho fact that we had
met to welcome and hear one of
our national candidates, he would
address himself mainly to tho dis-
of national issues. He
spoke at length upon the tariff
and made argument upon this
great question that was
able,
In speaking of the Third party
he said it really was not in the
race at all, that there was not the
shadow of a chance for it to elect
a candidate, and it was only
lowing itself to be used as an aid
to the Republican party. He
warned against the dangers of this
and urged all who had strayed off
from Democracy to return to the
only party that could afford any
relief, and give it their earnest
support. He contrasted the rec-
of Cleveland and Harrison
and showed which had the
fare of the people most at heart.
All through his speech he was
frequently greeted with bursts of
applause. At o'clock, he an-
that it being near the
time that Gen. Stevenson should
arrive and the people probably
wishing to move about some be-
fore listening to another speech,
he closed amid much enthusiasm-
It was nearly o'clock and the
rain was falling in torrents when
the special car containing
General Stevenson arrived from
Goldsboro and pulled up at the
door of the warehouse. As he
entered the building and was con-
ducted to the rostrum the cheer-
of the crowd was almost deaf-
Soon after taking his
seat and the audience becoming
quiet the Wilson band which was
present began playing
and there was another tremendous
burst of applause from the-
throng-
Donnell Gilliam, Esq., of Tar-
introduced the distinguished
visitor in most happy manner,
making a speech that fully
his already brilliant
The rising of General
Stevenson to his feet was the
for another outbreak of cheer-
that lasted through several
minutes-
As soon all became quiet he be-
his speech. The General was
not at his best- He had done so
much speaking during the pro-
few days as to render him
quite hoarse and it was evident
that he spoke with difficulty on
this occasion. However, he made
an excellent speech and the
showed their appreciation of
his words by frequent applause.
General Stevenson expressed
his gratitude at the honor North
Carolina had done him and the
most ovation he had
received from the very time lie
had reached our borders through
his whole journey of the
Learning the that Gov. Jar-
vis had given so fully in his speech
General Stevenson only talked
upon national matters in a
way, until the Force Bill
was reached. He spoke at length
upon this infamous Republican
measure, and showed that it was
by no means a dead issue as some
were trying to fool the people by
claiming for it. He said it a
direct thrust at the South and
that it was in this section tho Re-
publicans to carry out its
outrageous purposes if they could
once get this bill into operation-
He began with North Carolina
and contrasted the condition now
with what it was under the Re-
publican reign of terror in the
days of He captured
his audience completely when he
asked What brought about
this change Was it a Third par
At every mention of the names
of Yance and Jarvis and the part
they took in bringing the govern-
in North Carolina to where
it stands to-day he was cheered to
the echo. Whenever
Cleveland was named the
went almost wild with
General Stevenson spoke about
an hour, and upon taking his seat
Donnell Gilliam, Esq., again arose
and proposed that this grand
be brought to a close by
them cheers for our next Vice
President. The cheers were
en with a that was truly North
Carolinian- General Stevenson
acknowledged this by saying that
he was going back to his home-
and would there and at his future
appointments tell that he found
the Old North and tho South
still solid, and ready to join hands
with the Democratic in the
North and West roll up the
grandest victory for Democracy
this country has ever known.
As the crowd was dispersing
hundreds gathered around to
shake hands with North Carolina's
distinguished grandson, and he
had a warm grasp of the hand, a
pleasant smile and a kind word
for everyone. Besides being a
man of portly figure and hand-
some appearance, General Steven-
son is exceedingly pleasant and
agreeable to all with whom he
comes in contact, and no won-
that he so completely cap-
the hearts of our people.
North Carolina will not forget his
visit, and her voting for him on
the 8th of November will be as
enthusiastic as tho greeting-he
has just given him.
many years These
weighty words when it is
that they are uttered by a
man who for years has affiliated
with tho party which is now en-
to bring about just the
evils referred to. It is strange
that every white man in the South
does not see it just this way, and
say with Mr. that I will
cast my vote for Mr. Cleveland
instead of Mr. Harrison, who
stands pledged to use every
to pass that iniquitous Force
Let every man who has any
idea of acting with the Third par-
and thereby defeat the Dem-
party ponder well what
will be the consequences of such
a calamity-
There are men in Pitt co
now, who if they would stop and
consider for one day what may
the result of their present
course, would not for a moment
hesitate to declare once again they
would return to the fold of that
party that has Aver been true to
the South and the interests of
Southern men. We call upon you
to stop think before it is too
late.
We see that the Democrats of

Chief Justice A. S, Merrimon is
very sick though his MB

there are grave apprehensions in
reference to him. Judge

and all of North Carolina will be
rejoiced to know that is fully
restored to health.
STILL THEY COME.
Hon. W. A. Guthrie, of Dur-
ham, has written a letter in which
he says he will vote for Mr. Cleve-
land instead of Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Guthrie is and has been one
of the most respectable
cans in North Carolina. He was
nominated some time ago for the
Supreme Court bench by the
Third party. He declined to ac-
He says that all other is-
sues pale into insignificance in
comparison with the Force Bill
which will virtually put North
Carolina under military rule.
Mr. utters some very
wise words to his Third party
friends. He tells them that the
Republicans have broken faith
with them and that the danger
now confronts them of
the State government over to
men who favor the National Force
Bill, and the horrible evils that
will attend it, and that the vote of
North Carolina may decide that
contest- He says me be-
you as patriots, rebuke that
spirit by your vote, and let us
stand together and maintain
late the rights of the States which
are essential to that balance of
power on which the perfection
and endurance of our political
faith depends. That balance of
power once subverted and de

been ordered by the National
Democratic committee for

are they did what
they could by distributing a
pamphlet attacking Mr. Cleveland
and by talking against him.
Among the prominent Democrats
present who belong to the G. A-

of New York; Senator Palmer, of
Illinois, and Congressman f lea-

The encampment was
a great success, and the
parade tho biggest thing of tho
kind the country has ever seen, or
probably ever see- The day
was perfect and there were more
than men in line exclusive
of bands and drum corps, while
the crowds that thronged every
available foot of space between
the Capitol and twenty-second
street is variously estimated as
having beep anywhere between
and people,
This immense crowd was well
cared for by the Washington
who were glad to show the
country how well and how easily
the city could care for a large
crowd. There was no extortion,
and, so far as known, with the ex-
of a few hundred old

lodging to more than
men and hospital service

that their treatment hero was in
every respect better than ever re-

talk at home they did here, the
courtesy of to

One of the queerest things about
the big parade was that a man who
had only a few years ago occupied
the White House for four years and
drawn salary as president of the
United States, could have
on foot with a small Ohio post
the entire line of march without
exciting any further remark or

The Republicans were much dis-
appointed at the recent meeting
of the Grand Army of the
in Washington City. They ex-
that it give a boom
to the Republican party and be
worth many votes to the party.
It was found however that a large
number of those present favored
Cleveland and Stevenson. This
fact, together with the loss of a
large number of votes in Maine
and Vermont, has thrown a damper
upon the Republican campaign.
Cleveland is getting stronger every
day.
A very distinguished gentleman,
a thorough Democrat and a firm
lover of North Carolina, one who
labors, writes and speaks for every
advancement of the Old North
State and her interests, sends the
Reflector a check for a year's
subscription and accompanies it
with a letter in which he pays the
following compliment to

am astonished, the more I
know on the subject, to find what
a superior class of newspapers we
have in this State. I think it goes
without saying, that it is largely
to the stand of the Democratic
press of the State, that the Demo-
party is in such good shape
to-day. It looked at one time as if
the Grand Old Historic party in
North Carolina was demoralized
and without a leader, and that to
the press of the State was left the
duty and responsibility of meet-
the issues and rallying the
people. Most nobly have they

BRANCHVILLE, JOTTINGS.
Narrow Escape.
A man who was taking advantage of the
Sabbath and desecrating the day by
hauling his household effects over the
country, came near causing two or three
runaways Sunday evening. People re-
turning to Greenville from Great Swamp
were surprised to find on the river bridge
and dam a man driving a contrary yoke
of oxen which were pulling a cart loaded
with furniture. The combination fright-
several horses. One Mr. Will
ding was driving backed off the dam.
Miss Carrie Cobb was riding with Una
and both went down the embankment
with the buggy. Neither of them sustain-
ed any injury at all. but the escape was
a most marvelous. Fortunately the
horse backed off on the lower side of the
dam and the buggy stopped against the
fence. The only damage done was slight
breaking of the bug-y and harness. If
the buggy had run off into the deep
on the upper side of the dam there is no
telling what would have been the result.

We are pained to announce the death
of Mr. C. which
curred at his home, near Branchville,
last Thursday, from pneumonia. He was
a worthy and deserving gentleman, an
affectionate husband and a kind father.
He had only been sick a few days and no
one thought the end was so near. His
death is doubly sad from the fact that he
left a wife and children without any
means of support. He was buried
day at R. W. with Masonic
honors.

soup it made him sick and he got Into a
