Robbed The Grave.

A startling incident. of which
Mr.. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: 81 was in a most
dreadful condition. MY skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had
given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised Electric Bitters;'
and to my great JOY and surprise,
the first bottle made a decided
Improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now
a we'll man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim" No one should
fail to try them. Only Scots.

INCITED TO ASSAULT.
The Infamous Speech of a Re-
publican in Rick mOnd County.
Raleigh News and Observer.


Laurinburg, N. c., Oc5. 21.-
The Rapu biican county candi-
dates, in company with white
f publican by the name of Hen
~ Covington, are now making
the county canvass.
Yesterday Covington spoke at
Old Hundred and made a villains
Gus speech. He told the negroes
they were the best race of peo-
pie on earth.
He also told them that when
our hite girls return from col
leges and schools the negroes
are Usually employed TO look af-
Ter then and driye them about
ever the country, and added:
IL I were in your places I
would pas my arms around
them .
To-day they were billed to
speak st Mason's Gross roads,
near hers. the best citizens of
Gil SOP, Laurinburg, Laurel Hill
and the community generally,
resolved that they would not
have d REPETITION of the occur
rences. So they were promptly
met by three hundred of our most
determined element and advised
to make no more inf1aming
speeches in lower Richmond.
As for Covingtcn, he was
made to stand up in e buggy and
retract, saying be was sorry for
what he said, and promising
never to do SO again. Fl was then
pu5 in his buggy and told to hit
lie grit. which he did.
II men who call them selves
white are determined to go round
IL fl ming the negroes, and abus-
ing good white men aud women,
the people are determined that
they shall seek other quarters to
carry on their nefarious business.

Whiteville News.

Whiteville News.
The Populist county convens
ton which met in Whiteville q
short time ago, honored me with
the nomination for county
commissioner. My friends in
the Posulist party know that I
have always opposed fusion with
the Republicans, but it seems
that ii is now hopelessly COM
nitted to this policy, which is
leading so rapidly to negro dom>
inatlon in Eastern North Caros
lima and corruption in State
government. The Populists have
again gone into this fusion busi-
ness in Columbus county and 1
therefore must decline the nom
ination which they were kind
enough to give me. I went into
the Populist party to obtain free
silver, and they fuse with the
great enemy of silver, the party
that demonetized silver in 1873,
the Republican party.
Now, white men of Columbus,
| want you to look into this mats
ter closely before you cast your
vote, and see if you will not be
compelled to do as I intend to
do in this election, and vote the
Democratic ticket.
I am not a candidate for any
Office, bnt am interested in good
government.

The Eyes of the Country Upon Us.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The political situation in North
Carolina is attracting the atten-
tion of all the country. Our South
Carolina and Virginia brethren
of the press are watching mars
rowly the progress of the CAM
paign and commenting on it fres
quently. and yesterday alone our
attention was attracted to eds
torial articles upon it from The
Springfield, Mass, Republican
and The New Orleans States.
That from the latter it was with
special reference to the vile ar
bicie which appeared few weeks
ago in the negro paper at Wis
mington, in which it was alleged
that the white women of the state
are as much to blame as the
negro men who are lynched for
outraging them, if not more. The
New Orleans paper observes
that it is safe to say that there
is not a community in the south
GU tside of North Carolina but
would have hung the black
scoundrel who penned the arr
ticle to the first lamp post" Ger
tainly our people nave been more
than patient under this outrage
Gus publication, and many other
things which they have endured.
but there is a better remedy for
those things than hanging the
villaiHs to, lamp posts. The
remedy is to be found at the
ballot box, and if 1t is not ap~
piled next month then indeed
will the state be fairly obnoxious
to the implied censure of it con.
tanned in the foregoing quota
ton.
We started QUITO say, however,
that the eyes of the nation are
upon North Carolina, and unless
the state rights itself at the COM
ing election we are likely to fall
under that contempt which is
always visited upon cravens.

THE LIE NAILED DEEPER.

And now comes to the front
our good friend Mr.. Matthew
Jinnett, who is the man DR. J. E.
Person named in his speech at
Faison in connection with the DR..
Cy Thompson $500 offer at Eeed
Swamp, and said he was maudlin
drunk. Mr.. Jinnett gives the lie
to DIR. Person as follows:
"This is to certify that I,
Matthew Jinnett, of Wayne
county, N. c., who joined the
Populist Party in 1892, and have
now declared my intention to
vote the Democratic ticket next
November, attended the speaking
at Hoed Swamp, September %.
1898. Hearing DR.. Thompson, who
wanted to know if any PopuIist
was present who intended to vote
the Democratic ticket, I inform
ed him that I was one, but that I
did not want his $500. I learn
that DR.. Jos E. Person stated at
Faisons, N. c., Saturday, Octo-.
Der 18th on the campaign, that I
was drunk on Democratic whis-
key when I so informed DR..
Thompson. In reply to this l say
it is absolutely and unqualifedly
false, as I had not taken a drink
of wine, beer, whiskey or other
intoxicating drink that day.

vinced, or that any man hesitat-
ing as to which ticket to vote
will vote any other than that of

1t is not too much nor too lit~
lie to say that if all the white

Mr.. Aycock put the case for
Democracy there would be no
doubt as to what the result
would be at the coming election.

Democracy is aroused in North
Carolina. Decept men IF all pol-
1tics see the handwriting on The
wall if the fusion crowd remain
long in power. Fusion means ne
gro domination. Hence many of
the honest Republicans who have
been Republicans all their lives,
in the coming State election will
vote the white mans ticket.
The season for quail hunting
commences on the 1st of Novem-

section aud is annually iudulged
in by large number Of local
sportsmen. Quail are SO abun-
dant in this section as to attract
men from the North who spend
the winter months in the South.
Let's make tomorrow, Friday, the
biggest, gladdest, merriest day
that that Goldsboro has ever seen. All
places of business should be decor
ated, and the good people of
Goldsboro should do all in their
power for the pleasure and COM
fort of the visiting thosands that
will assemble here. We doubt not
they will do this, but there is no
time to lose. Our citizens should
write to their friends in the sur
1oandipg countries and invite them
to come to the great gathering OF
the white people and listen to the
speeches of great Democratic lead
ers from all over the State.
The Populist candidates in Les
noir county had appointment to
speak yesterday at Failing Greek.
The candidates arrived on tine but
the crowd failed to show up. Mr..
Jno. &. Bell, a we'll known trav-
illing salesman, passed through
on the freight &rain and got
off while the sk eaking was
going on. He says by actual count
there were IA negroes and 6
white men present. This simple
statement of facts, without the
proper embellishments, tells tale
that makes the fuslonists grow
sick at heart. They are already
defeated and no one knows it so
well as they.

wdsre so discouraged that w. r.
Dixon, candidate for the House,
anG James S. Smith, candidate
for Cdnty Commissioner, handed
in their resignation. and quit the
canvass. When it is remembe bered
that nearly all the candidates on
