WE WANT NO MORE NEGRO
STATES.

We venture to predict that the annexa-
ton of Hawaii will be one Of the first
projects that Major Mckinley will rec
ommend. 1t was tacitly understood dur
ing the campaign that the American sugar
planters, who own that country, were as
sured that Hawaii would be annexed.
On the basis of this assurance they were
liberal in their campaign contributions.
We believe that the people Of the United
States ought to guarantee the independ-
enc of Hawaii and Cuba, but we want
no more negro States in the American
Republic

ELECTRIC BITTERs.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season. but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, whein the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need Of a tonic and al
teratiye is felt A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malariaI
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton. Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters

The Philadelphia Telegraph, an origi.
nal Mckinley paper demands that the in
coming Congress investigate elections in
the South. 1t charges all sorts of election
frauds and repressions, and yet, for the
first time, these Southern States voted
for the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent. There. were undoubtedly great Re
publican frauds and importations in Ken
lucky and West Virginia, but the good
sense and sand of the people of those
States viii right those wrongs McKin-
ley may listen to the Telegraph and give
us another era of bloody shirt waving
when he gets another Senate. The. pres
ent Senate would not permit anything Of
the sort.

ROGERS AND THE poe TAX.


To the Editor: Our pleasant little town
is unfortunate in being 80 often in public
PRINT, especially when Of the nature OF
some recent publication. As mayor OF the
town It is due me and my neighbors that
/ should give some correction to pub
LEGATION which recently appeared In the
News and Observer under the head OF
Rogers Damages" 1t appears that
Mr. ]. J. Rogers gave part Of the in
formation therein referred to. IL 80, he
does us and himself, rs a citizen Of our
town, very great injustice. The real
facts are these: The town Of Apex passed
dog law in the early spring, shaped
after the same ordinance in the city Of
Raleigh. This law was duly advertised
for several months IL was to go into
effect April 1st, 1896 About the month
OF September Mr.. Rogers was called upon
for the tax. He first proposed to pay
the tax, but afterwards said he would
not and began to question the law asking
for time to satisfy himself. He made
no further answer and some days and
weeks passed On the Bird Of October,
a warrant was issued for his appearance
before me for fixture to list and pay the
above named tax 4 small fine was i'm
posed, from which he appealed. / give
these facts to show the truth and that any
statement that it was col0red by political
prosecution is totally at variance with
the facts. AS may be seen the transac-
ton was not a few days before the elec-
ton as stated in the article, but from
one to two months.

Mr.. Butler was unfortunate in the

minutes of play he received a blow on

recognize his own men and frequently he
had to be told what the signals and plays
were. He played like one in dream and
