"For I ann Of the opinion that the
ginners of the south should have moth

to sell their presses outright at a fair

finally oner sufficient Inducements in

Dewey, accompanied by Flag Lieuten-
ant T. NJ. Brumly and the United
States vice consul here, this morning,
returned the visit made yesterday by
NJ. Granet, project of the Alpes-Mari-

ed for the permission he had received
to land and drill his men at Willie
franche during h remainder of the
cruiser Olympia's stay at that place.
The Americans also called on Naval

Dewey thanked for the port facilities
which had been granted to his vessel.
The admiral asked n. Duval to trans

I trieL everything I could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good. I

best medicines we ever had in the

it is. Had I known it at first it would

Correspondence OF The Messenger.)
Clinton. ". c.. August "A.
This has been a red letter day for
Clinton and a great day for democracy
and the constitutional amendment.
which is identical with white suprema-
cy as we'll as good. economical govern
ment in North Carolina.
There was a large crowd OF white
men-democrats. republicans and popu-
lists-and a few negroes scattered
around-present 10 hear the amendment
discussed. There were also many la
dies whose presence graced the grand
occasion n who seemed as deeply in
terested as the men.
This larg gathering was made up of
all classes Of people from the surround
ing country, who came in on horseback,
in wagons, buggies and carts, and on
the train, to hear the constitutional
amendment question discussed publicly
for the first time in this section of the
state, and from the time the speakers
began to the close they had the closest
attention of the audience and much in
tereSt was manifested by almost every
one present.
The speakers were Ex-Governor Thorn
as j. Jarvis and the Hon. E. w. Pou,
who are, as is we'll known, among the
very ablest speakers of the state, and
these gentlemen made it clear to their
hearers that it is the duty Of all white
men to support the constitutional
amendment n thereby make sure to
themselves and their posterity white
supremacy in North Carolina.
Both Ex-Governor Jarv and Mr..
Pou made great speeches and were fire.
quently applauded.
Notwithstanding the severe heat, by
which both speakers were much incon-
venienced, they boldly and ably discuss
ed for more than W. hours the con-
stitutional amendment, and at the close
of their able arguments it was re-
marked that old Sampson county was
all right on this question. Time and
space forbid eve a synopsis of the
speeches.
