 IN TEA, COFFEE OR
 FOOD.
Any One Can Have a Free Trial Package
 by Sending Name and Address.

Some time ago a well known business man whose stomach and nerves were ruined by the tobacco habit was secretly given a remedy by his wife and he never knew what cured him of the habit He suddenly evinced such a dislike for to- bacco that he concluded the weed had finally floored him and that his own deter imitation made him quit. She then treated her son, young man just q. He was a cigarette fiend, inhanng the deadly fumes almost constantly, and he. too was made sick of the weed" His mother enjoys a quiet laugh to herself at the manner in which the young man tells of how he came to the conclusion that cigarettes were "drugged and poisoned nowadays and not fit to smoke"
 The remedy is odorless and tasteless can be mixed with coffee or food. and when taken into the system a man cannot use tobacco in any form. The remedv contains nothing that could possibly do injury. It Is simply an antidote or the poisons of tobacco and takes nicotine out of the system. It will cure even the con firmed cigarette fiend and is a God-send to mothers who have growing uoys addicted to the smoking of cigarettes. The rem trial package of the remedy will be mailed prepaid upon application to. Rogers Drug and Chemical Company. IA Glenn build ing. Cincinnati. Ohio. This will help any woman to solve the problem of curing her husband, son or brother of a habit that underrnines the health, leaving the body susceptible to numerous lingering and dangerous diseases.

CYCLERS WILL
 RACE FOR SIX
 DAYS HERE Heroes of New York Contest Coming. SPORTING CARNIVAL PLANNED SPRINTERS AS WELL AS DIS- TANCE MEN TO COMPETE. A Local Syndicate Plans an open-to- the World Tournament
 on an Ambitious
 Scale.

The s1x-day bicycle race, which closed last night and which, according to the dispatches, took New York by storm dur ing the time it was in progress, will be duplicated in this city early in February. according to the plans of a syndicate here the leading riders will be brought across the continent and will be seen in Mechan- ics' Pavilion.
 Some months since it was given out that w. A. Brady and his associates would promote long g-distance race here but they have abandoned the idea and others have taken it up and will carry it through on a larger scale. In addition to Miller Waller and other riders, who have oistin- guished themselves in these remarkable contests, they will bring some of the fast est sprinters for short-distance contests. Floyd Mcfarland and Orlando Stevens are already on the ground and it is known that Tom Cooper and other men among the top notchers have already planned for trip to this coast next spring to pre- pare for the seasons campaign.
 The plans of the promoters are of the most ambitious character and promise a meeting Of greater magnitude than any ever held here. The purses will be suffi- ciently large to attract the best riders and 1t is expected that entries will be secured from local riders for the six-day grind as we'll as for the shorter distance races. It is the intention to have the latter both afternoon and evening during the progress Ol tDe- DlS race IIle lTdck VIII De IIlOueleQ after the one used in Madison Square Garden and will probably be designed by Frank D. Elwell of this city, who has an international reputation as trackbuilder.
 Six-day races have a fascination 4or peo- pie that cannot be explained. After the first four days the remarkable endurance of the riders is a matter for speculation and discussion, as 1t then shows the strain to which the human body can be subjected without the machinery breaking down. Representatives of the New York Health Department took a hand in the race there and when a riuer showed signs of break ing down he was ordered from the track. test f of enduTence to % which h they subiecteg s themselves that this happened to but few.

 By reason of the vacation there is but little doing in the Naval Militia, yet, while the men are not compelled to drill, they on Sunday go out for boat practice, so they will not be rusty when the rou- tine work is engaged upon again next month.
 Last Tuesday all the officers of the Sec ond Division, excepting Captain Turner, who is still absent in the Hawaiian Isl- ands. and Lieutenant Gum, who is East, enjoyed an officers mess on board of the Marion. An excellent repast was served at the expense of the officers, and after the dessert had been served there was a general discussion for about two hours on what is for the best interest of that branch of the National Guard. It was expected that there would be some ad- vices from Lieutenant Gum, who went from here as a delegate to the conven- ton of Naval Militia representatives held in Philadelphia on the 2d inst, but no telegram came from him.

WORK OF RED SHIRTS
Reported killing of II Negro Yesterday
at Laurinburg

Late yesterday afternoon mysterious
n rambling rumors got broadcast in
the lane of Wilmington about red
shirts" at Laurinburg killing a negro.
Yesterday was the occasion of a big
white mans rally at Laurinbug, and
the source of the reports when traced
gave Credence to the rumOr. By din
of perseverance a Messenger represen-
tatiVe was able to obtain the following
very unsatisfactory report, which was
VOuched for by a gentleman of Lau-
rinburg.
Our infOrmant's story is not at all
definite. He says hat the negrO'S
name was Stewart. A crowd of men
went to the negrO's house to punish
him for some crime committed by him.
The negro came out of the house and
commenced to shoot at the crowd,
who returned the fire with a ven
geance. One shot hit the negro and
probably MORALLY wounded him, while
the house was riddled with bullets. In
all there were about seventy-five or
eighty shots fired.

The specials which we have printed
from our staff correspondent at VIII
mingt0n, n. C., reveal a most deplor-
able and a most alarming state of af-
fairs. and the surprise to US is that the
whites have for so long a time endur-
ed it.
The whole community is n~egro-rid-
den. The mayor of the city is appoint
ed by the fusion governor, a. also an
equal number of the board of aldermen.
In a wealthy city where the whites
own practically all the property the
Management of their fiscal affairs has
been put in the hands of negroes, or
men elected to Office by negro votes.
and that sort of thing cannot endure
for long in any southern community.
If the white men of Wilmington are
not able to meet the emergency, they
can have help from every state in the
south at a moments notice.
Readers of The Times will bear Us
out in the statement that this paper
has always stood for law and order
We do not believe in mob law. But
there are emergencies every now and
then which the existing law may not
meet, and then necessity is law
We believe thai such an emergency
arose in Danville in 1888 when that
brave little city was ~negrO-ridden. Il
was necessary that there should be {
{; supreme test between the whites an(
the blacks. Things had gone from baC
to worse and the time came when thu
question of white rule or negro rule
had to be deter mined. The races me
in fierce conflict and the issue, was theI
and there, nee for all, and definitely
decided. There has been no negro
problem in Danville from that day tt
this.
| Such an emergency seems to have
! arisen in Wilmington, and the white
| people are determined that the issue
shall be once and forever disposed o.
this time.
There is no use in preaching a ser.
mon on this subject. There is no us,
in discussing mere distractions in tn,
case. 1t has been so from the begin.
ming and it will be so to the end. TIL,
great Anglo Saxon race to which thi:
country belongs, the men who discov
cred, who secured its independence
and who built it up are going to rule
it, and whenever and wherever tn
negro attempts to take the reins O
| government out of the hands of thu
whites he is going to get himself il
to trouble. That is the fact which W,
have been trying so hard to impress:
upon the negro, and we cite him tt
the Wilmington case as an illustration
This is the beginning of the end.

Dockery is consulting with Russell.
Politics make strange bed fellows. Is
Russell again subjecting his nervous
system to the awful strain of conceal
ing mis- contempt while he listens to his

anecdotes?' Has Butler again picked

nure pile and Chuncked hin" at Rus
sell instead of the republican party? Is
Dockery again "iicked in his rascally
plans to capture the republican con
vention (of this county, by mean
whiskey and riba1d fraud?' Is Rus
sell lecturing Dockery upon the i'm
propriety of beatiEg confiding friends
by borrowing their money and paying
them in bankrupt notices or desperate
compromises" Is "Old Dockery a
SnOrtin," through the custom house,
instead of the woods. 'dishing Ont ex-
ploded lies about RusselTs buying the
republican convention" or is about
selling it at present? And if DoCkSry is
~admonishins Russell about disinter-
grating the republican party" has the
governor repented in his estimate OF
the "oId h~umbug,' maudlin "old imbe-
cile,' and now fool enough to think
that somebody would believe him

The White Mans Champion

The Hon. G.. B.. Aycock who is max
ing the state ring with his eloquence
in behalf of the redemption of North
Carolina spoke at Rose Hill, Duplin
county, yesterday. He made an able
and effective speech and was atten-
lively listened to by a crowd of IT'S
citizens. including many populists.
One thing can be said of the popu-
lists III this campaign, they are not
logged by staying away from the cam
paign meetings but are going out to
hear the speeches.
We learn that the white men are
on top in Duplin.

FENDER COUNTY FINANCES
Administration Of Democratic Z ana
POpuIists Commissioner Compared
Burgaw, n. c.. Nov. 1, 1895

Burgaw, n. c., Nov. l, 1893
The fusion candidates for the offices
in this county are declaring hat the
populist board of commissioners have
saved Pender county during the past
two years about 81 200 in running it's
current expenses, since they have been
in office. In order that the people may
not be deceived by such statements we
present herewith an exact statement
of the current expenses of he county
for the last five years, ending with the
4sberiff's settlement in April OF each
year as taken from the records or the
county:
DEMOCRATIC.

list Administrations
POPULIST.
1898-General County Fund ...s3,45I u
Poor Fund ...... ...- 80. o4l 50
Total. .-......$ 81, 298 GA
Comparing the last year of the demo-
cratic administration of 1896, when
was the highest Of the three years,
with the administration Of the pOpu-
list board for 1898, shows that instead
of saving the county in current ex-
penses, it actually cost $7S3.83 more
money under pOpulist than under dem
ocratic administration.
They try to account for the increase
of expenditures by the fact that they
paid for building Smiths bridge across
the North East River, $850.00, but this
is another instance Of pOpulist eXtraVa-
gance. They had q bid Of S715 for
building said bridge by ]. l.. Cooper
and J. F.. Lee, backed by a good and
sufficient bond, which they rejected, APP
parently, the bidders were
democrats, and gave the contract to
J. w Rowe & Sons, populists, for $3.50,
to which they afterwards added 500
as extras. The bond offered by said
Rowe & Sons was declared worthless
by the boards attorney.
But this great increase in current
expenses cannot be explained by bridge
building. The facts are as follows in
regard to bridge expenditures:
From December 1, 1894, to December
1, 1896, the democratic board paid for
building and repairing bridges, 81 091. 81.
From December /, 1896, to date (near-
ly two years., the pOpulist board paid
for building and repairing bridges.
81, 1879, including the Smith bridge, OF
a difference Of only $75.
