IrcSnIting from an overdose OF POpulisnl
and Republ licanis N combined. Either 6i
tiisii, is unisslshy and Il,.sroas 70 tho
tEe result 10 nauseating. SAs a xssuit 81
the diyision among the white peopla
thore the negro is on top and especially
| In tho Eastern section of the State syh ere
they arc more humorous than tho whites.
In, many of the towns, with negro police
men. and negro officials, a social condition
has been brought about that is becoming
unbearable ~ Ladies' arc jostled and In
homes, and Shings are fast approaching
O. point whore an explosion will take
place, and the result will be that the ne
gro will catch it In the neck, aS Yho al
| ways does, when accidentally clothed
with little brief authority 6o crowds
the white man and inBolently treads on
his toes. Republioanism and Populism
entirely foreign to social and economic
conditions that prevail here, and every
alliance between them has been produc-
tive only of harm and liko an alliance
between the devil and tho witch. The
tendency of it is to uproot social order,
| to create confusion and chaos in the
body politio of which North Carolina
furnishes notable illustration just now.
The negro thero is playing both sides for
!" pik1 optef>S eshu OHobI Va UhOiu p0h]toA~
ing to tho negro. In many of the ooun-
ties they. arc putting full negro tiokots in
| the field for county offices and if they
arc successful this fall in tho elections
! niany of tho States institutions, IL ia
| thought, will hayo negroes at thoir head.
This will moan ruin and disgrace to tho
State, for the negro race has no admins
trative ability. Exalted position makes
fool of him. North Carolina did not
| well learn tho lesson taught by tho ro-
construction era or she would have
guarded against tho present balofnl CON
dition In hor fundamental law. Unless
her white people got together this fall
| and bury theso banoful twins of Repub-
licanism and Populism she will bo given
baokset in the march of progress that
1t will take her dooade to recover from.
And if they should succeed in getting
together tho next best thing they can do
Is to set about eliminating in the organic
law of the STATE tho dense black cloud
of ignorance from tho suffrage and for
ever mako impossible tho elevation Of
such graoeless domagogues as Governor
Russell and Marion Butlor.-Anderson
Advocate.
| Whonever there is stoppage of the
bowel-action, hoip should bo given immo-
diatoly. Usually mild, gentle laxative
is oil that is necessary. A violent,
wronohing, gripping oathartic is nevor
nocded. DR.. Pierco's Pleasant Pellets
arc tho most pleasant and successful
romedy for occasional or chronic consti-
patton, or costiveness. They are tiny,
sugar coated, anti bilious granulos, that
oY3;, the smallest child caii easily take.
They act in perfect accord with Nature
and produce no gripping or other disa-
greoablo feeling. They should bo taken
at the first indication Of digestive trouble.
They stop sour stomach, belohing,
'heart-b -burn," tlatulonco and sick head:
acne. They euro constipation porma-
nently. You can stop taking them aitol
tho bowels are thoroughly regulated
Their holp lasts. You do not become q
slave to their use, as with othor pills.
