THE REPUBLICANS WIN.

oncemore the pleasing fact, has been
demonstrated at the polls that Capa
Girardeaa county is solidly Repusil-
can. The party not only carried the
election but it made great gains in
almost every precinct, and after the
experience of yesterday it will be
found no difficult matter to keep the
county Republican. The election
which was held yesterday was hotly
ard fercsty contested by the Demo-
crats. No measures were left untried
TO ge4 voters to go to the polls,
Every took and corner of the county
was visited by Democratic campaign
ers, aad eloquenoe, argument threat,
'bribes all proved unavailing. The
Democrats did not confine their efforts
to their own party, but they crossed
the line and strong efforts were made
to proselyte Republicans of years
Standing. Pitiful stories, persuasion
and pleading failed to accomplish
>Rnything here. With tears streaming
from their eyes they plead with the
sgood nstured, and with money in their
ihands they approached the evil
minded. In some few instances where
weeping failed to soften the heart OF
the staiSart Repnbliesn, filthy iuo-e
did the work. But IL spite of the
hard fgSt they made every man on
their tioket except Hines was bu-ied
under an avalanche of Republican
votes, 1t was truly.a glorious victory
for the Republicans and they mar we'll
be pro7d of at. All that remains to
be done now Is to make every effort to
keep The county Republican aad not

The Coming Woman

Who goes to the club while her hus-
band tends the baby, as well as the
good old-fsshioned woman who looks
after her home, will both at times get
run down in health. They will be
troubled with loss of appetite, head
aches, sleeplessness. fainting or dizzy
spells. The most wonderful remedy
for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and Merry
Gus troubles of all kinds are soon re-
lieved by the use of Electric Bitters.
Delicate women should keep this
remedy on hand to build up the system

Senator Marion Butler delivered a speech in Raleigh on Octo-
Der 9TH. After discussing the vital issues of the day in a mastery
manner, he apologized, as any gentleman must do, for descend
ing 10 the necessary levi to discuss the tissue " of the Demo
cr49tic machine. viz: $ Niger" But or this matter he gave the
Democrats a combing that took off their hyPocritical hides. His
exconaion was terrific and his exposure of their dupEcity para
lied the Demmies. He cited numerous instances to show the
tsIsitv and perfdy of their issue. Among other things he stated
that M. w. Page, the Democratic Sheriff Of Wake county, had a
naor,d deputy sheriff named William Williams, who, at one time,
G8o6) arrested a white woman named Susan Fowler. AS he
told this he held up to the audience the og%gZ"a5 7g0rrGnt Of arrest
oAfciaUv issued and signed by Sheriff Page and served by Will
Inn Williams. And then came a torrent of eloqu. nee from the
speaker in the way of calculating the disgusting double-acednes
of the " MIC ger" yellers that made them vince like they were
being thra he'd with a cOwhide.
Afterwards they began to scamper ao0Ht ana the next morning
YOU bell We it you may not, but by all that is immortal, there
93Dn.ared some feeble efforts to actually deny the POSITIVE EvI-
EXC OF THE OFFICIAL RECORDS. Sheriff Page said in a letter
{" assure my felIow-citizens that there is not one word of truth
in the statement that l employ ed a negro deputy to arrest white
people"
that he had a negro deputy, and that the negro deputy DID AR
pFsr 4 WHITE WOMAN. He also served warrants on white men.
This is not denied, and the fact that this lovely, ~lly-white,

geous appointment of the negro deputy is not denied.
Then they to * another tack. They said the woman was one
of " mixed blood while the physical, living fact is that she has
auburn hair and blue eyes.
1t is said that, when confronted with original official documents,
he ADM ted his signature, and refused to say that the woman was
of mixed blood. 1t is also reported that he said with some vigor
that 6 it was a low, mean trick to pull such documents on a man"
Well, NAV be so! But then, the Peoples Party did not raise this
GREAT issue of " Niger" and DEMOCRATS must now suffer by it.
And now there is another case in which this same ColOred
deputy figured. 1t was not cited by Senator Butler, and the

WHY THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE
CALLED FOR HELP.

The Democratic machine and
press has conducted the most
vigorous campaign of lying and
SANDER of which it is capable.
1t has large capacity in that line,
and has exerted it to the utmost.
But down in Georgia there is
a Democratic machine and press
that even can surpass the outfit
OF this State in lying and defama-
ton. This statement may be
hard for North Carolina people
to believe, but it is a fact.
The Democratic machine of
this State called on the Georgia
Democratic press to come "to the
assistance" and ~"rescue" of its
associate North Carolina LIARS
and LOoTERs. The people-the
honest, brave people of this State
had them d wn. hey could do
nothing. Tney were condemned,
rePudiated and whipped, and
they could never again get con-
troll of the State withou help.
Well, the Georgia gang came
to the rescue of the Liars and
LoOters of North Carolina in the
shane ofthe Atlanta Constitution /;
and the Constitution is just simply
showing its North Carolina gang
some new points in the matter of
defAming, slandering and lying
about a people who have the pluck
and intelligence to whip a dis
r~epertable Democratic machine.

the Democratic Sheriff. The records in
Court Clerks Office show that he served
warrants on Henry Fowler and Walter
Daniel, both white men. The recondsalso
show that Williams was sent, January 81
1896, to arrest Susan Fowler, a WHITE
WOMAN. She was found at Garner, and
the negro deputy sheriff made her walk
to Raleigh a distance of more thar SIX
MILES all this under a White Mans
