ment. The Sharpshooters discussed

Better Glass Of Populists Tired of the
Government They are Getting.
"The better class of the Populists are
Disguised with the kind of government
fusion with the Republicans has brought
us" said A. d. Ward, Esq, prominent
lawyer of Newborn, who is here attend
ing the Supreme court, ''and they will
not again vote as they have voted in the
past. In my old home in Duplin county
know that some of the best men in
the Populist party, who went into it
from honest motives, are utterly dis
gusted and disappointed and will not
longer affiliate with them" -
Mr. Ward, who represented Duplin
in the House in 1891, is confident that
the change of sentiment is so great that
the people will restore the Democratic
party to power next year. "You can

Of the white people Of North Carolina"

RALEIGH's WATER SUPPLY

The people of Raleigh do not fully ap-
preclate the excellence of the water
works system of the city. In this sea-
son or drought all over the country,
Ralelgh has had plenty of water. Mr..
McPheeters had letter yesterday
from his brother in st. Louis who SAYS
there has been no rain in that city in
three months. The Norfolk and Western
road has to haul its water. In many
cities the supply is short and people can
get 1t only two or three hours in the
day. Raleigh is fortunate in having a
bountiful supply and it is excellent wa
ter, too.
