termination to vote the white man 5
ticket at the coming election. The pres
ont condition of our beloved State and
county is sufficient to convince any
thinking white man that the Democratic
marty is the only party which advocates
white supremacy and honest govern
ment. We earnestly entreat our fellow
PopulSts elsewhere to unite with us in
our effort to reinstate Anglo-SaXon SUI
premacy in North Carolina.

CLIFFORD SIMPSON, Riverdale
FROM MAPLE CYPRESS.
Mr. Joe !. Dixon, of Maple Cypress, in
this county, is a leading young man of
that section. He is engaged in the saw
mill and cotton gin business. Mr.. Dixon
was in Newborn yesterday and made
the following statement:
81 have been Populist and was hon
est in my desire for reform. The Popu-
list party has kept none of its promises.
/ will vote the Democratic ticket on the
Sth of November"
COVE AWAKENS.
A letter was shown to the Journal
last night from Cove. containing the fol-
lowing gratifying political items:
Every white man in the precinct,
with the possible exception of two or
three. will vote for white supremacy and
decent government.
''The precinct is certain to so Demo-
cratic by handsome majority.
'"The Populists in the precinct will
vote the white mans ticket to man.
Nothing but the negroes will vote the
negro ticket"
show that the good folks of Cove are
true blue"
VANCEBORO, FLYING HIGH.
The registration books at Nanceboro
show 40 new registrations up to date.
OF these there are 10 negroes, 3 Popu-
lists, and the balance Democrats. The
total registration of the Vanceboro pre-
cinct which. of course does not include
Maple Cypress precinct. will show about
$50. OF these there are about 100 ne
groes. The POpulist vote of this pre-
cinct is estimated to be about Is in the
coming election. which will leave a
Democratic majority of about 375 for
this precinct.
If DR." Thompson would come to
our township and offer to give $500 to
every Populist who will vote the Demo
cratic ticket this election, as he did Mt
Hoods Swamp, Wayne county, we can
safely say he would have to have q
tremendous bank account or he would
certainly be busted politician.
Mr.. Jesse Aldridge and Mr.. George
Dixon say that they joined the Populst
party because they advocated the prin-
ciples set forth in the platform, but that
since the party has thrown aside its
foundation principles and gone into me
groism" by fusion with the Republican
party they are nd longer Populists. but
are going to cast their votes for good
government and white supremacy.
They also say that nearly every Popu-
list in their sections will vote the Demo
cratic ticket. and they give the names
of about a dozen. which will be gladly
given to any one that wants to call this
Democratic lie."
Maple Cypress. and Mr. Aldridge is one
of the most influential citizens of the
vicinity of Epworth NJ. E. church. and
lives about five or six miles from Vance
boro.
The Populists of No. 1 township are
few and far between since they have
seen the evil effects of fusion and !;
every township in the State shows the
same increase in Democratic votes in the
coming election that old No / will. we
will certainly carry the State by an over
whelming majority and once more en-
JOY the pleasure of living under white
mans government
