"WHITE SUPREMACY"
Nears & Observer.

News & Observer.
It is not because any man or set OF
men want to raise the race issue that
"White Supremacy" Is the foremost
issue in North Carolina. It has
not been raised. It has raised itself
in the presence of the menace that
rests over Anglo-Saxon civilization.
1t is not directed at furnishing anybody.
1t does not seek to injure any negro,
but to help the best of the race. 1t is
not to delay any reform, but to open q
way for real reform. It is not a pros
criptive but cry of general amnesty.
1t is not even political, in the strictest
sense of the word. 1t is merely ques-
ton of self-protection, and the contin-
uation of AngIo-Saxon civilization. 1t
cannot be side.tracked, or put one side
or DELAYED. It forces itself to the front
because the evil of negro government
already has its deadly hand upon the
throat of the Commonwealth. Until
that hand is removed and the State
can be freed from the debasing grasp OF
bad government, it is idle to talk OF Sc
curing any reform or any betterment in
government. Men who depend upon
negro votes for election are almost al
ways the tools of corporate power OF
any other sort of power that pays for
votes. The man who wants to effect
reforms and the man who wants JUS
tice done alike to corporations and In
divlduals, is compelled to appeal to the
white voters Of the State to bury the
past and regain control OF government.
1t is the only hope of decent, fair and
honest rule.

"Golng into decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What
does it mean? It means that people
are losing flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is
to improve the digestion. The condi-
ton arises from an inability to eat
and digest food. In fact food does
more harm than good because it fer
ments and put1efies In the stomach,
developing poisonous Substances which
when absorbed cause various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is food al
ready digested and digester of food
as we'll. It will make the stomach
healthy. Get book from the drug

a hook to the rope he threw it over the

him to draw himself to the top Of the
