Do you know that every man who
desires to vote at this election must
register ANEW? Even if you have
REGISTERED and VOTED before, you
must register again under the new
Election Law to vote this year.
Dou you want the Republicans to
carry the election and have your
neighbors arrested and put in Jail as
in 1860? If not, REGISTER and
VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Dou you wish the negro to get con-
troll of your county and Slater Ii
not, REGISTER and VOTE for the DEMO
CRATIC nominees.
Do you not know that EVERY NE
GRO in the State will REGISTER and
VOTE? Then SO must every WHITE
MAN.
Do you want negro Yankee soldiers
with drawn bayonets to meet you at
the polls and dictate to you how to
vote2 If not, be sure your name IS
on the registration books, and do not
fail to vote the straight Democratic
ticket.
You can't register after Oct. 24th-
so REGISTER AT ONCE. Don't say you
have not time-take tlme-gOUR HAP
PINEss depends on it; the GOOD NAME
AND PROSPERITY OF YOUR STATE DE-
ENDS ON IT. DON'T WAIT. Delay
may cost the defeat of the party.

THAT this is the age of electricity is
a fact OF which we are reminded every
day. The latest in this line is said to
be an invention by Edison which if
perfected will revolutionize the tele-
graphic world. The new discovery
consists of a combination of metals,
known only to the inventor, which
will by connection with the earth,
carry sound a great distance without
the aid of wires. As the earth is we'll
known to be good conductor of cleo
tricity and is now used in order to
complete the "circuit" between any
two points without running a double
wire, the new idea seems quite feasible,
Mr.. Edison has already experimental
to such an extent that by standing out
of ordinary hearing distance one can
distinctly hear the faintest whisper.
If the idea is put in practical working
order there is no doubt but that it will
greatly cheaper Geographic commune
cation and perhaps accomplish other
wonders not dreamed of.

MRS. JOE PERsoN-Dear Madam Most
gladly do give you my name to place
before the public, bearing testimony to
your most reliable Remedy. Fifteen years
ago was troubled by what seemed to be
little scales appearing on the outside Of
my cheek, under the eye, resembling dry
meal bran. which could remove when
shaved, but they would return again in a
short time. Soon an enlargement appear
ed under the same eye, attended with itch
ing and burning sensations. and sharp and
darling pains from the affected place to
the eye, causing great difficulty in closing
the eye, even to sleep. Sometimes it
would feel better, but never at any time
eczema. others chronic erysipelas, and all
advised me to let 1t alone. This l did until
two years ago, when little scab began to
form right under the eye, resembling a
wart. which could not remove: in size
and appearance it soon grew to be as large
left the place raw. Having fear of can
Ger, began to use various kinds of salves
tOheal it up. but never could. l consulted
with physicians OF great experience; they
said it looked suspicious of it, and advised
me to have it cut or burnt out at once L
suaded it was in my blood, l resolved to
mended to me. did SO with most happy
results. l can say am q ,oett man. can
not say too.much for your Remedy 1t is
worth Its, weight in gold. Before 1 had
used one bottle was hopeful, and at the
expiration of five weeks the sore was en-
tirely healed, the scales or roughness Of
the skin all gone, and left me a new man.

further information they may desire, and
can only say, if the public will give your
Remedy trial. it will speak for itself,
and your success will know no bounds.
God speed the day that must dawn upon
your future prosperity!

"CALIFORNIA ON WHEELS"

Those Western people know how to
advertise. That has been the great
secret Of the rapid increase of popula-
ton and the wonderful growth and
prosperity of that section Of our coun
try which all well informed persons
must admit does not possess superior
advantages to the South. But those
people improve their opportunities in
a manner We do not. Theirs is
great country in many respects and
they do not hesitate to let the world
know it. This they do by systematic
and judicious advertising in the col
umns of the newspapers and in other
ways. A clever and effective scheme
has just been adopted by California
exhibition train" which is now tray
cling through the East. The outfit
consists of three cars of the Southern
d(ilC NdiilOdu WliSu SOutdlu us
play of the products of California, col
lected and sent out by the California
Board of Trade. The object as ex-
planned by the managers, Maj. J. B.
Lark and S. ]. Mathes, is to acquaint
Eastern people with the resources of
California and with the progress al
ready made in supplying the markets
Of the East with those fruits and nuts
which were formerly almost wholly
imported. There is an elaborate dis
play of grapes, wine, dried and pre-
served fruits, nuts, oils, silks, grain
and specimens of ore and wood. There
are also black figs and Egyptian corn.
There is an Irish potato weighing J
pounds and sweet potato weighing
IS pounds; piece of bark IS inches
thick, bananas 4 inches in diameter
and pears weighing 5 pounds each.
In short, California is shown up in a
very forcible and attractive manner
and in very small space.

THE SHAMELESS DOCTRINE OF
TuE PAnTNATN

THE RADICALS.
The following is taken from recent
issue of the National Rebu6Hean.
Read it, white men, whatever your
political creed may be-, and then ask
yourself how any self-respecting white
man can vote or work with a party
the organ Of which advocates such in
famous measures:
When through the operation of the
Lodge National Election law six or
seven Southern States shall discard
Democratic rule, we shall look conf
IDENTIFY to some measure Of justice done
the blacks who have been so long de-
frauded their rights.
Heavy taxes should be laid on the
whites to deveolp and extend the public
school system in those States, sepa-
rate schools for the two races should be
abolished, and the plan of bringing
the youth of both Colors in close and
equal relations in schools and church
es given fair trial, as one of the most
potent elements to break down the
detestable Bourbonism of the South.
The right OF the black man to bear arms
should be guaranteed to him, as we'll
as the social rights intended to be Sc
cured him by the passage of the 4th and
18TH Amendments to the Constitution.
The State laws against the intermar-
rage of the races should be repealed,
and determinations against the blacks
in the matters of learning trades
or obtaining employment should be
made criminal offence, while the
colored mans right to hold office
should be sacredly protected and
recognized. A few years of this poll
cy will solve the race problem salts
factorialy.

TO DECEIyETHE PEOPLE.

L l IN
/, is the policy Of the Republican
party leaders 10 first Cypress the people
BY ihe passage Of unjust and burden
some laws, such as the Mckinley tariff
bill, and then try to deceive them as
to the effect upon the masses. Here
is a fair sample. A press dispatch
from Chicago, dated October 71st,
says:
A Herald SPECIAL from Omaha,
Nebraska, says :: Since the passage of
the Mckinley bill the State has been
given the benefit of wide publication
of manufacturer circulars notifying
dealers of increased prices owing to
the increased tariff. This has had a
depressing effect on the Republican
campaign. Yesterday Congressman
Dorsey sent the following telegram:
AN. S. Quay, Beaver Falls, Pa.
Have manufacturers quote lower prices
and deny that the Mckinley bill
raises prices. If this is not done II
will cost thousands Of votes in Ne
braska."

The farmer will commence paying
his Mckinley taxes when he makes his
fall purchases of tinware, clothing,
woolens, food, boots and shoes, cut
lely, guns, axes, ammunition, and
many other things too numerous to
mention. This ought to make every
farmer and laboring man in the coun-
try vote against the Republican party
forever after.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1890-10-23

CIRCULARS are being sent ont from
the wholesale dealers at the great CEN
tres Of trade, telling the retail dealers
throughout the country to PM up the
prices on those lines Of goods on
which the Mckinley tariff increases
the duty. Such advices have been re-
ceived right here in Henderson. And
yet the people are told by the Repub-
lican papers and speakers that the
tariff isn't tax and that the consumer
doesn't pay the tariff. Away with
such humbugry. The people can't he
deceived by it any longer.

The gainesville (Ohio) Democrat
says: The policy of the Republican
party seems to be, and practically is,
to SO impoverish the laboring masses
of the people with tariff taxation, that
they can be bought up cheaply on
election days to vote in favor of the
continuation of said policy of robbery
and bribery.

OUR merchants are daily receiving
notices of advances in prices of goods
on account of the new tariff bill. We
ask our readers to make a note of the
prices they have been paying for goods,
and compare them with what they will

better serve to show how much the peo-
pie lose by high tariff.

has raised prices on all the necessaries

firm hold, prices will go still higher.
