Coming Back all the time.

Mr.. W. G. Lamb of Williamson
sent the following telegram to Chair
man Simmons few dadys ago.
"Julius Andrews, delegate to o maha
and chairman of the peoples party
executive committee of Martin
county, renewed his allegiance to the
democratic party at Robertsonville
in an eloquest speech to day."
Fuller informa alton has reached
The DEMOCRAT through a letter from
Sir. r. II. Gatlin to frierd here.
Mr.. Wilson Lucas spoke to a large
crowd at Jacksonville Saturday.
When he had concluded, Mr.. An
drews, Chairman Of the executive
committee for the Peoples party. and
delegate to the Omaha convention
took the stand and announced that
be then and there severed his con.
nection with the Peoples party, and
declared his intention to vote the
democratic ticket and advised his
friends to do the same.
He gave good reasons for his
action. He said he had taken a trip
through the North and Northwest
and found no Third party there; and
from what Information he could gain
this movement down South is to
divide the democratice party and
place the republicansin power.
Mr.. Andrews reasoning is sound
and entirely correct.
And so they are coming back all
over the State, and by the 9Th, many
will be back In their proper place,
and after the election those who have
not come back will wish they had.
This is indeed an hour and strug.
gle of supreme Importance to the
people Of North Carolina and the
South. How can any mau be 80 dull
Of perception as not to see that the
course of the Third party people
threatens destruction to our IibertiesS
And how can any one who does
see it be so base as to persist in
what be knows to be his own de-
struction and the destruction of bis
and countrymen?

UR. PATTERSON WILL VOTE
FOR CLEVELAND AND CARR.

DR.. r. A. Patterson, ex-presidenl
Of the county Alliance, has this week
sent letter 10 Tie Roanoke Nelr>
saying that be vii vote for Cleveland
and Carr.
While We ~ere IN Weldon Monda,
TIN editor of The Roanoke Nsscs
showed Us tie courtesy to give Us 3
copy Of DR.. Patterson'- letter. Il i
as follows:
AUEELTAN SPRIS-, Oct. IS. 80.
Several friends In the dlferunt
sections, having enquired OF me how
stood with regard u the approach
ing election, | ask you kindly 10 in
sert in Tie Roanoke Ne,cs the follow
ing:
Being deeply impressed with the
Importance to the country of the es-
Establishment Of the reform measures
as let forth in the Ocsla platform, |
intend voting for candidates holding
similar views. with the following
exceptions: always intended
voting for Elias Carr and those on
the same ticket.
Ind. Believing that there is
scarcely q possibility for the election
of Weaver, | shall not waste a vote
on him after witnessing the venom
and hatred recently evinced towards
the Southern people by the Northern
Republicans in view of the late
elections in the South, which plainly
shows that should they win in the
coming election, they will scruple al
no leg islatlve measures to perpetu
ate their control of this government
And since, in my view, Weaver
can Dot be elected, the next bes,
thing appears to me to be to vote fol
Cleveland.
Appreciatipg the vast debt the
country owes the Farmers Alliance
for disseminating Knowledge oil
governmental abuses to which the
confding people have long been sub
jected, ana other benefits to which
| might allude, | trust that tie noble
order may long survive, TO Dold in
check human greei and oppres sion

played None here now. | have
seeU some men who were with them

The DEMOCRAT believes that there
are many men here who are sorry
that they ever had anything TO do
with the Third party And we'll
they may be sorry; for it Is q mere
delasion and sooner or later they
will tind 1t out. 1t will sooD be too
late for them to find it out in time

POISONED BY sCROFULA

Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their own
Scrofula is more especially than any
other hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason: Arising from impure ane
Insufficient blood. the disease locates it
selfin the lymhatics, which are composed
of white tissue; there is period of foetal
life when the whole body consists of
white tissues. and therefore the unborn
child is especially susceptible to this
dreadful disease, But there is remedy
for scrofula, whether hereditary or
acquired. 1t is Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which by its powerful effect on the blood.
expels all trace of the disease and gives
to the vital fluid the quality and color of
health. If you decide to take Hoods

"GIDEONITEs THEY ARE"
unicated.)

Mr.. EDITOR The name Third
party, Thirdite, Peoples party, is s.
misnomer. Gideonite 1T is and
Gldeonite it should be called.
Why should these Gideonites be
allowed to violate the law with i'm
punity? Why should they be allow
ed to violate Section 1895 of the
Code, with their grips, signs and
pass words?
Are the people of North Carolna
to be dominated by this band Of
Gideonites, who are afraid to let the
world know Of their political primer
plea, who ere even afraid to let ell
who might affiliate with them politl-
cally know of their "refawm."
1t does seem that every honest
man would repudlate this Gideonite
party, the party Of three hundred
honest, true and tried men 10 each
district. If it Is good party, II its
purposes are just and holv, why not
take the world into it's councils2
Why hide the light under a bushel?
The brave, honest, true and tried
Gideonites have SO much virtue, so
much honesty. they so greatly desire
the good OF the country, that they
cannot even trust their valuable Sc
crets with all of their own political
party. The mighty three hundred
must be the depository Of their
mighty secrets which will revoiu-
tionize the world.
Honest men will leave this party
of the grip, this mighty three hun
dred valiant braves, this "refawm'
party, this party with q secret too
good to be impaired TO any out the
good three hundred, as they would
flee from the leprosy. No man de-
serving the name of North Carolinian
will remain among such champions. A
political secret too good to tell. A
reform too good to benefit the world.
Deeds conceived in secret. Too
pure for utterance. Too sacred to
be told. Or too much pecuniary
benefit to the mighty three hundred
to let the other members OF the party
divide.
These Gideonites deserve the con-
tempt, the scorn, the detesUation, of
ali good men. Let every man who
has called himself q Throttle, Peo-
pies party man, or any such abomi.

preserve his self-respect. They

TRYING TO INTIHIIDATE.

There seems to be concerted plan
of action throughout Eastern Caro-
lina to intiuidate democratic regis
trars.
% lest Sunday Mr. r. G.. Reid.
registrar for Halifax township. was
arrested by United States marshal
and carried to Raleigh Monday upon
a charge by G. ". Shearin, white,
and one Robertson, colored, for re
fusing to give them a copy of hi.
registration book, or to show the
books before they were closed.
Mr.. Reid acted IN accordance with
his understanding of the proper con-
struction Of the election law, and
upot the advice of Capt. j. Nj. Griz.
card, lawyer of long practice and
experience.
Mr.. Reid construed the law to
authorize him to allow election su-
pervlsors to examine his books Oh
Saturday previous 10 the election
and 80 constituting it be was acting
in accordance with what be believed
TO be his sworn duty.
Mr.. Reid was taken to Raleigh
Monday when there 10 United
States Commissioner IN Weldon. Mr.
Reid asked to be tried by the Com
missioner in Weldon TO save the ex
pense and worry Of going to Raleigh:
but he was refused q trial in his own
county.
Every fair-mihded man will say
that such treatment is outrageous
1t was bad enough for Mr.. Reid
to be arrested for doing what he con
sidered his sworn duty, and that toe
on the testimony Of his neighbors
but to be refosed a trial before 6
United States Commissioners at bis
home, appointed for the sake of con
venience primarily, IS past all rea
sonable tolerance.
This method of intimidation seems
to have already been resorted to in
other places. In Johnston county
the same thing has been done; bu,
all the same no one has yet been
intimidaved.
1t is outrageous for men to be ar
rested without cause and more than
outrageous for them to be taken
from their families and business and
carried away to Raleigh when they
could easily and speedily be tried at
home.

a man of truth told as this week
that number of colored men went
away from Scotland Neck Monday
thoroughly disgusted With the pro
eeedings Of the day, and declaring
they would not vote the Third-party
ticket.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1892-11-03

There is good authority for the
rumor' that, Mr.. James Pope, who
said he would suffer both arms cut
off before he would vote the demo.
cratic ticket, has declared that he is
still with the democratic party and
would vote that ticket.

ANUT FOR THE C0L0RED MAN
CRACK.

The Roanoke Neaos Of last week
said:
ave have been Informed upon
what seems to Us good authority
that Mr.. J. A. White. Third party
candidate for the Legislature, was
mig htily in favor of the stock law,
and when that measure was pending
before the Legislature was active ln
circulating petitions asking it's pass
sage. This stock law Is one OF the
grievances which the Third party
LAYS at the doors of Democracy.
II they are opposed to the stock law
and want to have it repealed how can
they vote for Mr. White who favored
it's enactment? He favored it then
for good reasons. The same reasons
existing now consistency would re.
quire him to vote against its repeal
THE DEMOCRAT has heard the
report confirmed by number OF
good citizens In Scotland Neck
The reasoning Of the Neaos Is sound
Mr.. Whites interest now is similar
to what 1t WAS then, besides che
fences are all down now.
1t is understood that Mr.. White
has dlsclalmed having anything to
do with circulating such petition as
was referred to above; and the fol-
lowing affidavit of some of the best
men of this town Is herewith given.
SWORN TESTIMONY.
WHEREAS, The Roanoke Neaos IN
it's issue Of October 9th, 1892, made
the following ststement:
ave have been informed upon

date for the Legislature, was might.
ly in favor of the stock law, and
when the measure WAS pending be.
fore the Legislature was active In

passake;'
AND WHEREAa, 1t 10 rumored that
Mr.. White disclairs having circulat-

culate such petition and urged people
