Atlanta Ever since the People's party nominated Jas. B.

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.

The counts in the indictments preferred by the people of against General Weaver are, briefly stated, as That as commandant of the post and in the supremo military authority for the time here, he was arbitrary, and this money. He will hardly dis- the evidence of his own hand writing. But this is not all the proof. The only one cf tho men named in the above list now living is Dr. Wm. Battle- He is to-day what he has always of the most prominent and best citizens of the place- He makes the following sworn db. battle's testimony. To all whom it may concern I was a citizen of Pulaski, Ten- during the war, and have been ever since. I was personally acquainted with J. B. Weaver, who, was in command of the Three different men. reputable citizens, have said to in the last few hours that they would 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. You can hardly find a man on the streets who cannot tell of some ct of cruelty, of some indignity or upon him or some That he caused to be arrested thrown into tho on stockade upright, reputable and law-abiding citizens, whose only offense was their sympathy with the Confederate cause. That he robbed widows and other non-combatants of property not needed for supplies for his army, and for which he refused to vouchers. That he extorted from various citizens considerable sums of without any form of law, which money these citizens to this day firmly believe was appropriated to Weaver's own use and benefit. THE PROOF. The particular incidents cited below in support of these charges are vouched for by the best of are, backed by sworn affidavits, ex- in due process of law. Tho originals of most of these are now in the possession of the Journal correspondent, and will be placed on file in the office of the Journal. The others are in the hands of Mr. J. P. Abernathy. the clerk and master of the court of Giles county, who is also secretary of the county Dem- executive committee, and from whom sworn copies can be obtained. Further, these charges and dents may be verified on to any reputable citizen of Pulaski. In fact the county Dem- committee authorizes the Journal to challenge the People's party produce a single witness, outside of their par- and who was in sympathy with our people in the time of trouble- to deny these Weaver afterwards claimed that he thought Cox had come the yarn dishonestly, and, that he had turned it over to his surveyor of customs, Dillon. That both these claims are untrue is shown by tho following AFFIDAVIT OF JASPER COX. I, Jasper Cox, of tho of Giles State of Tennessee, upon my oath that during the war, while the present people's party candidate for president, was 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- According to my best information and belief Weaver appropriated my thread to his own individual use.

This order was accompanied with the threat that if not complied with immediately the parties on whom the demand was made would be sent South. Under this threat I paid over to Weaver the sum of one hundred dollars. I also believe that the other parties on whom the demand was made, paid the amounts required of thorn. Wm.

General Weaver took from Jas per Cox, a poor but worthy citizen of Giles county, a quantity of cot- ton yarn, dozen, in which Mr. Cox had invested all his hard earned savings with the idea that when the war was over he could sell the thread and with the money build him a home.

I remember General Weaver from one incident which impress- ed him on my was the 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 it with the bacon my father had sold him, but Weaver was would do nothing to right the wrong that had been done.

Mr. Williams also says that on occasion, when Weaver was passing his house ho drove off every fattening hoe ho had, and allowed his men to shoot down all the women's turkeys be- fore their eyes, and when asked for a receipt or voucher, flatly re- fused to give any. This he did without any cause whatever, as I the government had abundance of supplies at Pulaski. This conduct appears even the worse in comparison with that of other Federal as in tho case of Gen. Johnson, who, while in command here, told the people if they caught his soldiers for aging to shoot them down. Dr. J. C.

To all whom it may J. P. Williams is a second in of mine. I knew of his arrest by General Weaver. The only charge against him was that he had collected a lot of cattle and let the Confederates have them in- stead of the Federals. Weaver fined Mr. Williams and. be- cause he could not pay it had him thrown into jail- He was let out on parole to raise the money, be escorted by a guard. He raised the money and was re- leased.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 we may bid a long fare well to the Constitutional We may expect, too, in its stead, to be governed by orders from the headquarters of a chieftain such as our eyes have Been in this Southland not very Senator Stewart of Nevada has deserted the Republican ranks and declared for Weaver. This takes Nevada from the Harrison column with its three electors votes and thereby aids in electing that patriot and Cleveland. So it is going all along the line. Gen. J- B.

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 of the State. He 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.

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.

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. Van comes to of a murder in the lower pail of the county under peculiar circumstances, It seems that a man name of Bryan told his daughter to him some soup and put some vinegar in it. She demurred at first but after- wards complied, and after he drank the soup it made him sick and he got Into a violent passion and accused the daughter of trying to poison him. He struck her a blow with his fist that felled her to the floor and then beat her so with a stick that she died in a short while. Such a brute deserves the full penalty of the law. We are glad to state that Mrs. has returned to Branchville to Jive since the death of her husband, Capt. K. which occurred in Portsmouth some time ago, Mrs. Duke and babies arc aw visiting relatives in Petersburg and Joyner will resume the duties of her school at this place the week in October. Miss Maude Joyner left this morning for Suffolk, where she goes to attend school. Some thief entered the dwelling of J. A. Person a few days ago arid took a clothes and bis wile's watch.
