COUNTY

Pritchard, the Tennessee adventurer,
now wearing a senatorial gown from
North Carolina, and one of the very
worst and most despicable enemies the
White Men and Women of North Caro-
lima has, as is seen by his disgusting
course in the campaign just ended so
disastrously to him and his gang of
marauders, lives in Mitchell county in
the Western part of our state. Jere-
miah Jeter is very happy. He has
striven to continue negro domination
in all the eastern counties of North
Carolina, where the negroes are in
great numbers and in office. But in
his own county there is not a niger in
it, young or old, black or tan. A cor
respondent at Raleigh sends a letter on

HI VICTORY.

The battle just won gives a great
victory to the White Race in North
Carolina. 1t was a mighty ground
swell, a huge, majestic tidal-wave.
The victory is we'll nigh complete. It
is confined to no county or corner.
The legislature, che supreme end
sought, and sc imperatively needed, is
democratic by an overwhelming ma
jOrity. That meal almost every thing
restored that was lost. It is the signal
of wise, needed, fair legislation, that
will forever make it impossible for
traitors and scoundrels to reign in
iniquity and oppression. The demo-
cratic Judges and solicitors are proba-
bly, all elected. Seven or eight mem
bers o fthe next United States g
will take their seats from North Caro-
lima, and Governor Russell and his
myrmidons can not prevent it, as has
been threatened. The next legislature
will attend to that, and if any thing
be lacking, the next United States
house, that will probably be demo-
cratic. will finish the job in marked
perfection. The democrats in most of
the counties are no doubt elected to
the county offices. New Hanover so
long in the hands of the villains will
be saved and true and honest men in
control. This is an occasion for local
happiness and congratulation. Then
tie time is not distant when real White
Men will be in control of the city gov
eminent of Wilmington in all depart
r-ents, every where. Local seIf-gov-
eminent will be restored and the buzz
yards, the radical ~scavengers, and the
birds of prey will be scattered and
clipped in their claws.

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope OF
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
TO an early grave.
It Is now easy TO see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid Of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns ,andis
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut
duay.

ulcer on her tongue, which, though an

prominent gentleman has recently
made the same acknowledgment. He
says Wilmington's condition and the
fight waged for deliverance furnished
inspiration to the entire state. Will
mington has very special reason for
rejoicing in the great victory. The
manacles fall from the statue Of Lib
erty, and 10 Poeans rend the air.
The Messenger has essayed to do its
full duty. At much risk, at no little
expenditure of means, with a great
deal Of toll, with an intense earnest
ness and resolved will to help win the
impending battle it sought the very
front, and did all within it's power to
make glad the great White Race, to
bring victory and salvation and happi-
ness to it. Two years ago an editorial
in the Messenger then favored making
a battle for white supremacy. Gallant
and able Buck Kitchin says the Mes
senger taught him the way to win. In
April last the Messenger again sounded
the battle cry-White Supremacy for
North Carolina-a White Mans gov
eminent. Since then it has pressed
this slogan of victory with zeal and
~pertinacity.

dastardly, cruel, damning article was
made glorious in it's results, for it
stirred the White Mans heart, and
while he spared the villain who thus
abused and slandered, he resolved to
up forever Negro Rule in this
grand old commonwealth and to re-
store to the people wise, humane, just

slave their race, their n~eighbofs,

A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CAM
PAIGN

The hottest campaign ever conduct
ed in North Carolina has just ended.
1t was most vigorously, most p%ertina-
ciously, most resolutely fought. The
inspiration was great. 1t was to de-
liver North Carolina from niger con-
troll, and restore law, order, peace, de-
cency, contentment and prosperity to
the state. 1t was a great battle for
honesty, for just and equal laws, for
good and economical government and
A~nglo-Saxon civilization. The battle
was pressed under excellent leadership.
Never before were more capable speak
,ers on the side of the White Men in
the field than in the campaign just on
cluded with such grand and glorious
results.
Is it too much for a Wilmington
white mans newspaper to declare that
but for the example of Wilmington the
great victory would not have come!
But for the movement here inspired as
it was and pushed as it was with such
unrepressed vigor and defiant determi-
nation the Black Hordes, led by plum
derers and scamps and enemies of their
race would have been possibly in
the lead with the skulls and bones on
their flag and ruin their incentive and
battle cry. Wilmington certainly set
the mace this year. Chairman Sim
mons feels this. Another Raleigh

the sore was gone. Bat to my surprise IN
tive weeks more another s%crofuIous look

grew worse aud worse, and when he was
