FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Our fire department which is a volunteer
one, is composed of energetic and efficient
young men. most Of whom. being real es-
tate owners, have greater incentives to Wig
orous action than those having no interest
in the property they protect. and if given
in case of need. They take great interest
in all department matters. and should Sc
cure the encouragement of this board to the
efficient chief, Mr., Moody. is very suggestive
and would recommend its careful study
by the members Of this council.

The highest compliment paid the
leaders of the great silver move
ment in this state by the gOldbugs,
is the charge that they are all men
without a Jollo,oing, i. c. not pOlit-
ical bosses. This is true, these men
who have been pushed forward to
lead in this fight were until recently
part of the JollOtcers and come now
fresh from the masses. Only history
repeating itself however, as the
greatest heroes the world has ever
known were without q follOning-
practically unknown, until-em-

THE SILVER MOVEMENT.

triotism that yet lives and burns in
the hearts of majority of our
people.
We have an abiding faith in the
integrity of Il majority of the
people in whatever political party
they may be found and while we
know that politicians have their
price, and political parties turn
somcrsaults on their platforms, the
masses of the people with what
means of education they have to-
day at their command, will correct
the mistakes of their leaders and
parties, and preserve the spirit of
liberty and American institutions.
For years, party devotion and
party prejudice has held such per-
feet sway in this country that no
reform, however vital to the indi-
'vidual or public welfare of our
citizens could lead a man beyond
the narrow confines of his political
party, and no crime was too black
mot even perjury, bribery and
murder) to be committed in sup
port of the party to which poor,
misguided, degraded devotees to
party prejudice yielded slavish SER
vice.
But the light is breaking, anu
men arc realizing the awful condi-
tion of society, political, moral
and social, which such narrow,
prejudiccd and slavish party dcvo-
ton begcts.
The Peoples party, since its or
ganization, the only party of re-
form in this State, has been COM
pclled by the intolcrant course of
the party in power to adopt the
same narrow policy. But time and
again has this party of reform Of
ferod to step out upon broad lines
and meet tho old parties square
upon principles, and been refused
until now.
In the congressional campaign
last Fall, the Peoples party offer
ed to put their ticket and their
platform against that of all other
parties in white primary in which
all white voters regardless of par
ty should have equal rights, thus
making white supremacy absolute
ly certain, and wiping out the
miserable pretext for fraud and
at elections.
The organized Democracy refus-
cd this emincntly fair and wise
proposition, but so many of the
rank and file saw and believed the
justice, and the wisdom of it, that
to-day the Bimctallic League which
will soon enroll in its membership
2-thirds of the voters of the Dem
ocratic party accepts it and joins
hands with the Populists in recon-
mending it to all parties.
On the Sth day of April last, a
committee of representative popu-
lists assembled at Winfield, La,
from the parishes of Jackson, Cald-
well, Winn and Grant, adopted
unanimously resolutions calling on
our Populist State Chairman,
Booth, to join with others in call
ing a nonpartisan convention ''to
devise scays and means by which
the ballot-bOx thieves and their
commanders can be OverthrOwn,
and the administration of govern
ment returned to the people where
it rightly belongs" Mr.. Booth
complied with this resquest, and
the magnificent demonstration at
Washington Artillery Hall, on the
10th inst, was the result of the ef-
forts of him and such other popu-
lists, democrats and republicans,
rs love principle better than party.

one which ranks highest in point of
merit is Ayers Hair Vlgor. Itis made
from the choicest material and on
strictly scientific principles 1t does
not soil nor become rancid by expos
ure to the air, and is as perfect a sub
stitute for the oil supplied by nature,
IN youth and health, as modern chem
istry can produce. It softens and
stimulates the halr and scalp, reyives
and strengthens weak and disordered
tissues, restores the original color to
faded and gray hair, prevents the tor
nation OF dandruff, cures humors
which destroy the hair-roots, renders
the skin healthy, moist and active, and
the hair soft, silky, lustrous, and
abundant. Gray hair, one of the most
noticeable indications of age, NAV be
postponed for many years by the daily
and faithful use of this admirable prep
aration. Give it trial. Gentlemen

A GREAT BOOK.

a day or two in Scotland Neck last

tory. He had been to the court mouse
at Halifax and had gathered consldera-
BILE information there The Directory
for 1896 will contain one hundred
thousand names Of business men and
farmers Of the State with their post Of
fees. 1t will give as accurate knowl-
edge as can be had about every county
in the State, every town and post office
and every manufacturing industry
throughout the great State of North
Carolina. It has taken Mr.. Branson
90 wears to work up the Directory to
its present standard as authority for
statistics concerning the various inter
ests. industries and wealth and progress
of North Carolina.
1t has been revised eight times and
the new edition for 1896 will be more
nearly perfect than any previous edl-
ton.
Perhaps no other book has ever beer
half so valuable to the business and pro
fessional men of the State. Mr.. Bran
son is engaged in worthy enterprise
and should be encouraged with liberia
patronage by business and professional
men. The book contains a store OF In
formation about North Carolina tina
comes cheap in the price Of the Dlrec
tory. THE DEMOCRAT has used two
editions of the work, and will always bt
anxious to get each new edition. 1t j

the following contract:

in case / become intoxicated while on

of said train shall have the right to
eject from said train the holder of this

A GOOD APPETITE

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong, The loss Of "a
tional desire for food is soon followed
by lack OF strength, for when the supply
of fuel is cue off the fire burns low.
The system gets into low state, and
Is liable to severe attacks of disease.
The universal testimony given by those
who have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as
to Its great merits in restoring and
sharpening the appetite, in promoting
healthy action of the digestive organs,
ard as purifier of the blood, consti-
tutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine.
those who have never used Hoods
Sarsaparllia should surely do so this
season.
