White caps in Woodruff County.

Says a special dispatch to the Little
Rock Gazette: "Whitecappers have
been operating at Hunter, a small
town in Woodruff county, recently. and
much excitement has been created.
The trouble grows out of an effort on
the part of regulators to drive the ne
groes out of the community. III. l..
Baker, white man, has a negro en-
ployed on his place. A whitecap notice
was sent to Mr.. Baker warning him
that he must get the negro off his
place. Baker paid no attention to the
notice and on the following night his
house was surrounded by mob and a
fusillade of Winchester bullets fred
into the building. Baker still retained
the negro in his employ, and few
nights ago he received another visit
from the outlaws, who, after pouring
several volleys into his house, set fire
to his corn crib, which, together with
large quantity of corn, was destroyed
by the flames. Bakers house is liter
ally riddled with bullets, two of the
leaden missiles having been found en-
be dded in the floor of his sitting room. :"

who Were They

The Frisco station agent at Winslow
found the dead bodies of two men in
an empty box-car which had been run
on the side-track at that station. Sew
eral wounds were found on their bodies
and the men were evidently murdered.
Their appearance did not indicate that
they were tramps, but it is thought they
were workingmen. Nothing was found
on them giving clue to their identity,
and their murdereFs may never be
known.

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.


The primary cause OF dyspepsia is lack OF

No organ can properly perform its func-

When the stomach is robbed of the nourish-
ment demanded by nature, assimilation
ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the

IT IS A WEAK STICK.

Lexington, n. c., Oct. 11.-(Special.)-
The Republican Senatorial convention
of the Twenty-sixth district met here
Saturday, the Sth instant, and nOmi-
mated Edgar w. Lineback of Forsyth
The other candidate is to be named by
committee of the Populists of this
district.
In addition to the Senatorial cOnven-
ton the county Republican and county
Populist conventions were in session
the same day.
After considerable wrangling over
which party should receive the pie fur
nished by the office of register of deeds,
the swappers agreed to trade as fol
lows: Republicans to have the Repre-
sentative, sheriff, register of deeds and
two county commissioners; the Popu-
lists were compelled to take such as
they could get-clerk, treasurer and one
county commissioner. The offices Of
coroner and surveyor having but very
little, if any, pie attached, were lost
sight of altogether, and no nominations
were made for these positions.
Some Republican leaders are not at
all pleased, and they have been almost
continuously caucussing since last Sat
urday. Some say the ticket is so weak
it can never be elected, and that some
of the candidates must be pulled down
or Knocked off the ticket.
