Mechanic & Investors Union

A State institution of Raleigh, N. z.
organized May, 1893, and managed by
John G. Drewry, president, j. S. Wynne,
vce-president; b. S. Jerman, treasurer
j. n. Holding, attorney, George Allen
secretary and manager. w. S. Primrose
and G. G. Latta, all of whom are direc-
tors.
This is one of the best managed and
most. prosperous investment and loan
companies in the State.
The investment plan assures the mem
bers the return of all payments, togeth-
er with profit of fifty per cent in l00
months. The payment of 2 cents per
day, which is 80 cents per month, for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The loaning plan guarantees the re-
turn to the borrower of all his payments
less three per cent per annum ON the
amount advanced to him. Both the
investing and borrowing members are
fully protected by the guarantee fund,
which promises and agrees to mature the
stock, making the monthly payments for
the widow should death occur. This Sc
cures the home to the family without
further cost after death. For full par

INEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim Of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so cOngested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
a perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that
ny condition, and he has neither craving,

THE "LILY WHITES"
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record.
The desire of exCongresSman Settle
to purge the Republican party of the
negroes is an endorsement Of the sug-
gestion and effort made by Senator
Pritchard, a few years ago, to organize
1.-The lily white" Republican party in
this State. Our readers will remember
that Senator Pritchard called meeting
at Asheviile, some years ago, for the
purpose of reorganiZing the Republican
party in North Carolina by eliminating
the colored element. The western Re
publicans,amons whom were few negroes,
did not like their party being SO Justly
called "the negro party" and wished
to give it more responsibility by elimi-
mating the negroes, but their efforts were
in vain. Tie movement failed and the
better class of white Republicans, as be-
fore, have continued to be controlled by
the negroes and those white men who
are no better than negroes. Mr.. Set
tile wisely sees now that Senator Pritch-
ards suggestion may be successfully
carried out by DISTINGUISHING the igno-
rant negroes, and therefore fayors the
suffrage amendment. OF course, how
ever, the amendment will continue to
be opposed by all white men whose
only hope for office is by and through
the votes of ignorant negroes.

QUESTIONS THAT GO TO THE ROOT.

The imperialists who are wanting
this country to ape Great Britain in its
colonial policy, will have many hard
questions to answer before November,
permit the Reputation of the Declare
ton of Independence without a pro
test, and they will thunder their protests
against the authorities who are engaged
in doing in the Philippines what we de-
nounced Spain for doing in Cuba.
Mr.. Henry Monroe, of Ampersand, n.
Y, may not be descended by blood
from the president for whom the Monroe
doctrine is called, but he is worthy of
such descent in his defense of the AM
ericanism of which the Monroe doc
trine stood in defence The New York
Times, which favors imperialism, has
been giving as a reason why self-gov
eminent could not be given to the Philip
pines that they are not homogeneous
people. Mr.. Monroe has answered the
Times in Yankee fashion by asking
questions which go to the root of the
whole matter. He propounds to the
Times the following pertinent inquiries:
Il. Was the right of the civilized peo-
pie of America to independence in 1776
destroyed by the fact that they had within
their borders probably hundreds of thou
sands of savages, divided into numerous
tribes, more or less hostile to the whites
and to one another?
-. Was such right destroyed by the
fact that large part of the civilized
whites called Tories, did not want to be
ruled by George Washington, but by
George III?
%. Was such right destroyed by the
fact that in 1776 the American people
were divided into thirteen colonies, with
very conflicting ideas about theories of
government, as was proved by the fact
that it took them several years to agree
upon constitution?
II. Is the right of the American people
today to self-government destroyed by
the fact that 100000 of them are of an
inferior race and probably incapable of
self-government?
IS. Have not the civilized and intelli-
gent people of a country the right to
govern such country?
rs. Under what moral or political prin-
ciple may it be claimed that when in a
certain country some of the people are
intelligent and some ignorant, foreign
nation may step in and rule them both?
II. Would England have been justified
in denying self-government to America
through a silly fear that George Wash
ington and Joseph Brant, the Indian
chief might fight for the supremacy ?
Or could the United States rightfully
have refused to assist Cuba to independ-
ence out of fear that Gomez and Macso
might fight for the supremacy?
Mr.. Editor, please count me as one of
the many Republicans who admired Mr..
Mckinley until the close of the Cuban
war, and now long for a chance at the
polls to condemn him for making us, af
ter we had enacted the role of the Good
Samaritan in Cuba, play the role of Il
bandit in the Philippines"
The Times has not answered these
questions because it cannot do SO. They
confound its position.

IMMIGRANTS WANTED.

Cor. Inmberton Robesonfan.)

i.
A pamphlet by John w. Thomp-
son. in the interest of immigration, of
which he is assistant in charge for the
State. has come to our table. 1t is a
clever presentation of the attractions Of
the State to home seekers. Every State
has these advertisements of their re-
sources and attractions prepared by ex-
merits and widely distributed. Our State
should not be behind. When for any
reason there arises a spirit of migration
to another cline, it is not unnatural
that the advantages and disadvantages
of sections suggested for a new home
should be sought. They should be pre-
pared in good style and comprehensive
in statement. ready for distribution as
called for. There is nothing in this
pamphlet new even to the school boys
0 fthe State, but it is compendious
presentation of such facts as one might
want who should be looking about for a
home in a good climate and amld other
desirable surroundings.
