DEATH OF MR.. sEWALL.

There passed away in Bath, Maine,
on Wednesday, one of the best men in
America. Arthur Sewall's name has
been honored in Democratic councils
for a quarter of a century. Though
not an orator or trained in public life,
there has not been a Democratic cam
paign in twenty years in which he has
not given his counsel and assistance.
He is a Democrat from principle and
in all the yeats of unbroken Repub-
lican victories in Maine, Arthur Sc
wall was as unfaltering in devotion
to Democracy as if he had lived in
State where victory followed effort.
He was modest, upright, grave, sim
cere. His word was his bond. In his
community he had the respect of men
of all parties and all sects. He had
no smallness and no narrowness. lie
was built upon broad lines. He
thought for himself and had the cour-
age of his convictions. He was an
earnest advocate of bimetallism when
the Democracy of his whole section
opposed it. His advocacy was based
upon study and investigation. When
he made up his mind that bimetal-
ism was a better system of
finance than the gold standard, he de-
clared his convictions without reser-
walton. 1t did not affect him in the
least that he was in the minority. He
sought to follow what was right
rather than what was popular.
In the campaign of 1896 Mr.. Sc
wall, in position that called for wis
dom of high order, bore himself
with such dignity as to win the re-
spect Of good men of all parties who
appreciated the delicacy of his posi-
ton. He was misunderstood by some
and misiudged. He was assailed and
misrepresented by demagogues, and
bitter paFtisans. a man less self
unjust and malicious attacks to have
led him into making blunders. Mr..
Sewall had not sought the high Of
fee for which he was named, he ac-
cepted the nomination as a call to
duty, and he was unmoved from his
course of high-minded patriotism
throughout the ordeal that tested the
quality of the man.
In his home life Mr.. Sewall was
n model man, a charming host, an up
right business man, patriot and was
one who feared God and walked up
rightly

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident. of which Mr.. John

WHO CAN VOTE.

A correspondent asks us to state ex-
actly who can vote in the Senatorial
primary, since the State Executive
Committee broadened the scope Of
the electorate.
The answer is:
1. All white electors who voted for
Democratic State ticket in the Au-
gust election, or
2. All white electors who vote for
the Democratic canoldate for Con-
gress and the Democratic Bryan and
Stevenson electors in November.
OF course a man who votes the full
Democratic ticket both times is enti-
tied to vote.
This virtually let's in all who call
themselves Democrats.

The Republican papers continue to
print the falsehood that two hundred
more votes were cast in the August
election in Halifax county than there
were qualified voters on the registra-
ton books The truth is that there
were over two hundred registered
voters who did not vote. Is it too
much to expect Republican papers to
print this correction? We print it
here so that Democrats may expose
the Republican lie about the good peo-
pie of Halifax.

BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
Charlotte News.
Do not be deceived by the talk that
the negroes are taking no interest in
the election and the Republicans have
given up all hope of carrying the State.
They will make no attempt if the Dem
ocrats are organized and aggressive. But
they will take advantage of the first
signs of Democratic apathy or indif-
ference.
The best plan is to organize for a
fighting campaign, so the State will be
safe, no matter what the Republicans
do.

In the past few years North Carolina
has risen to be the largest tobacco man

third largest in the United States. In the

all others; in chewing tobacco, she is
surpassed by only two States.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

We shall presently hear that the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee and the Democratic Congressional
Convention of the Fourth Congress
sional district have been guilty of a
breach of faith by injecting the negro
question into the national election.
Their action is exactly in accord
with the policy pursued by this pa
per and is an endorsement of that
policy. 1t is not in any sense a war
on the negro and is not injected to
raise race antagonisms. In fact it
tends to prevent these antagonisms
by clear statement of the Demo-
cratic position against negro office
holding. If it is reprehensible for
the Democratic party TO oppose negro
ice-holding, then the State Com
mittee and the Congressional cOnven-
ton have sinned. If it is wise to de-
clare that the Democratic party is a
white mans party and opposes negro
office-holding, then the News and OBJ
server and the Democratic party are
to be commended. But it is not war
upon the negro to deny him partici-
patton in Democratic primaries or to
approve or acquiesce in his elevation
to office. The Democratic party is
his friend it educates his children,
cares for his unfortunate, protects
him in his person, life and property.
1t will always do these things ana
will make it better for him to live
here than anywhere else in the world.
But every white man and every col
ored man knows that the best way
for friendly relations to subsist is for
the negro to quit being made the tool
of designing men to force bad gov
eminent on the people and to demand
official elevation. The Democratic
party insists upon this condition be-
cause it is necessary condition for
the preservation and perpetuity of
good government and amicable rela-
tons between the races.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee was asked by Col. Means to de-
clare that there is mo Justification
for raising again the race issue,
which we affirm again, as we did in
the last campaign, has been settled
in North Carolina" BY unanimous
vote this resolution was tabled. The
Democrats do intend to hold up Me-
Kinley to the condemnation of the
Southern people for imposing negro
postmasters on Southern commune
ties as we'll as for his other wrongs
and mistakes, and its speakers do in
tend to say and prove that a vote for
Mckinley is vote for twenty-seven
negro postmasters in Eastern North
| Carolina And they will say it even
| if it throws some thin-skinned Nc
Kinleyites into fits.
The Democratic party did not en-
dorse the News and Observers posi-
| ton because it wished to endorse
somebody. 1t merely officially de-

Re :. DY
TuInOr in the Breast Cured.

Six or seven years ago I had lump to
come in my breast, which made it swell
so much that it became so hard 1 could
not make a dent in the breast. 1t was
very painful and caused me to suffer so
that some nights I could hardly turn in
bed or rest. Nothing did me any good and
1 was very much uneasy, not knowing
how it would terminate. l used one-half
dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Persons Rene
dy without stopping on it, and it made
perfect cure of me. The lump disappeared
gradually, and l have never had any
trouble from it since.

Where he has sold previous orders
there has not been the least complaint
in fact the satisfaction expressed shows
that the plaster did better work than
was really represented by Mr.. Brelsford.
AS Mr.. Brelsford says II would rather
have them surprised by it's being better
than represented than not have it come
up to the standard 1 set" When houses
send in second, third and fourth order
each being larger than the first, it is a
sure sign there is merit in the plaster
itself. When the mill and its produce
becomes more widely known, land it
is becoming SO, rapidly the present
capacity of the works will be. insuffic-
lent to supply the demand.
The dental plaster manufactured, is
superior to plaster to plaster Paris
because it sets more quickly. and is
finer grained, there being not the least
of grit in its composition. A carload
of this grade ordered by a wholesale
dental merchant of Omaha has been
retailed to dentists all over the western
states and the remarks of praise are
very %flattering. Hot Springs should be
proud of shipping to the world Ithe
finest building, finishing and dental
plaster manufactured and is indeed
fortunate in having such a hustler as
as Mr.. Brelsford at the shead of the
concern to attend to its manufacture
and advertising.
