EVEN A AUMBUG AND FRAUD /"

When the minority Populists solemly
expelled from the caucus and from the
party every Populist who voted for
Pritchard for Senator, they were APP
plauded by every honest man in every
party in North Carolina. In 1896, the
chairman of the Populist Executive Com
mittee, had sent out a signed circular
i'm which he said: ~
Letters have come to this office stating
that our Republican friends are Still driv-
ing fusion and that they are making an
unusual effort toscontYol the Legislature.
If they should do this gold bug United
States Senator will be elected from North
Carolina. 81 the Populists should help
Republicans to get this control then the
Populisfs will be responsible for that GOLD
bug Senator. lust think of it! Populist,
elect a golds bug!s Our party is failure.
even a. humbug and a fraud, if we yield
! enough to enable a gold bug United
States Senator to go from this State
When the Populists helped the Re
publicans to elect "a gold bug q. 5.
Senator" the majority of the party drove
out the boilers and thus made 1t posi-
BILE for their party to escape the 0dium
of the reelection of Pritchard.
Now in 1898, Harry Skinner and all
the boilers are in command of the Popu-
list party, and it is because the machine
has made the Populist party "a failure,
even humbug and fraud that thous-
ands of the rank and file and some of the
leaders are quitting the party.
In this campaign there are three great
recruiting agents for the White Mans
party. They are Five Cent Cotton, White
Supremacy and Populist leaders who adj
vocnte fusion with gold bugs and mo-
nopolists." The last are not the least
efficient.

CLARK HOWELL AT THE PEACE JUBILEE,

Among the various speakers at the
Chicago Peace Jubilee, none touched the
popular chord with a surer hand than
Mr.. Clark Howell the brilliant young
editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr..
Howell is typical representative of the
best in the new South, as his father was
and is of the best in the old, and his
presence as spokesman for the South
was as fitting as his address was happy.
In single paragraph, Mr.. Howell, re-
spending to the toast "Our Reunited
Country" struck out SO clearly what is,
after all, the most important result OF
the war that it deserves special atten-
ton:
1.-THE South answered the call to arms
with it's heart, and its heart goes out
with that of the North in rejoicing at
the result The demonstration lacking
to give the touch of life to the picture
has been made. The open sesame that
was needed to give insight into the true
and loyal hearts both North and South,
has been spoken. Divided by war, we
are united as never before by the same
agency, and the union is OF hearts as
well as hands,"

Countless homes in eve:g city in Amer
lea have been saved from the sad loss
of some despairing member by Paine's
Celery Compound.
The story of the life-work of the dis
coverer of this worldfamed remedy is
familiar to most readers. The likeness
Iof Dartmouth's greatest professor, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. d.. Ii. d.. given
above, is the best portrait Of him yet
printed.
Excepting its handful ef magnificent
statesmen and its military heroes says
the most recent wrlter upon and critic
of America, 'sthe people owe more to
Dartmouth's physician teacher than to
any other one man.
I'm every walk of life, among the high
est office-holders at The rational CAPT
tai, in the homes of the best people in
the large cities, among the every DAY
folks of the country, families in comfor-
table circumstances, families that live

have met people to whom Paine'S Celery
Compound has been a blessing"
1t was the wOrld-famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps of an infallible cure Tor
those fearful ills that r>suft from in
impaired nervous system and impure
bloood which has endeared the great doc
tor to the world. and made his life an
era in the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut
and graduated in medicine ut Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-10-22

reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. First he was e.ec-
ted to the professorship of anatomy and
surgery in the Vermont University. Next
he was appointed lecturer ON materia
medica and medical botany in Dartmouth
College The next year he was chosen
professor Of the chair then vacated by
Prof. Robby, and occupied the chair, the
most important one in the country, at the
time when he first formulated his most
remarkable prescription.
Prof. Phelps has given to his profession
in Paine's Celery Compond u positive
cure for sleeplessness, wasting strength,
dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheumatism. all nervous dis
eases and kidney troubles. 1t is the only
specific recognized and prescribed to-day
by the best physicians for diseases arts
ing from debilitated nervous system.
For such complaints Paine's Celery Com
pound succeeds again and again where
everything else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended, because none ever accomplished
so much.
Paine's Celery Compound stands with
out competition for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength OF
the body. 1t cures radically and per-
manently. A healthy increase in appe-
tite and a corresponding gain in weight
and good spirits follow the use of Paine's
Celery COmpond. 1t is the most re-
markable achievement of this last half
of the nineteenth century.

WORK

The Instructions to the Peace Com
iftissioners before they started to Paris
were not made public for obvious rea-
sons, but from a high official comes the
statement that this country will insist
upon Spain yielding to every demand
we make. She cannot do otherwise than
give up eventually. She is like the sick
man who is contending with the strong

1t takes many years for nations to re-
cover from weakness, but sick men can
quickly regain health and strength by
taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
There have been many bad cases of dys-
pepsia and Indigestion cured by this
medicine when it looked as though cure
was impossible. The Bitters first put
the stomach in order and bring about
proper digestion of food.

Their must be an end to his party in the

Here is his idea:
SIN the next State election / am will
ing to let the Democrats and Populists
run separate tickets in a white primary.
If the Democratic ticket gets the most
votes in such primary, let the Populists
retire, and the Democrats, have an open
field. If the Poplists carry the day in
such primary, let the Democrats retire
from the field, and not oppose the Popu-
list nominees.
II am willing to extend this method to
Congressman and other officials"
And before the Fusion managers
could recover from the CONSERVATION
caused by the Chadbourn letter, another
prominent Wilmington Republican
speaks out for the rule of character and
intelligence. The Fusionists may quib
bic, prevaricate and deny, but the truth
will out and before the honest white
men of the State, they are:
Thrust
Like foolish prophets forth; their words
to Scorn
Are scattered and their mouths arr
stopped with dust"
White men of the border counties
should be on the alert against the i'm
portation of negroes, and white mel
everywhere should see to it that ex
convict negroes and minors are no
permitted to vote. The Fusionists hav

and no loafng is permitted said a
well-known travelling salesman the
other night. "In this hamlet there's
no idleness that is not voluntary or
vicious, and this privilege is not allowed
even to the wandering Willie out of
job. On a sign at the post office in
Beechland is this injunction, from
which there is no appeal: No loafng
allowed in this town. We work, and so
must everybody else who expects to re-
side here for any length of time. Idle
ness breeds crime, and as we never had
a robbery or murder here we have de-
termined to strike at the root of all
evil. Tramps will be given one hour in
which to depart, and honest men out of
employment will be given work if they
desire it. If not they must git, and git
as quick as their lazy legs will carry
them away from the village. This
means you"
