man, and particularly of men VINO
heretofore trusted to his publc pro-
LESSONS.
And now comes another Fusion can
didate who declares that Confederate
soldiers were TRAITORS and ''pcriur-
ers." The fellows who make such
statements are themselves traitors to
the State, sons who dishonor it and
the glorious history made for it by
the Confederate soldiers.
Closing a whole pAge article, we'll writ
ten and showing a clear insight in the
situation in North Carolina Mr.. Joe X.
Oil, in the Atlanta Constitution, says:
Editor Josephus Daniels, of the Raj
eigh News and Observer, who has been
in the thick of it from the beginning
said to me. I am making no predictions,
but if you want to predict you are safe
in saying that the amendment will carry
in every Congressional district. Figures?
Why, put the total at 80, 200. That's safe.
would not be surprised to see it 50,000
however. The organization perfected by
possible respect and the advices he has
received from his men, who believe they
know the vote of every man in their re-
spective counties, warrant all the claims
we are making and more
Mr. James II. Pou returned to the city
Sunday from campaign tour in the east.
He spoke Saturday at Pine Level, in
lNrxyr
son had All appointment to speak there
at the same time, but he failed to APP
pear. He sent Capt. r. B. Davis and, in
the language of the street gamin, Pou
didn't do a thing for him"
Messrs. James r. Young and A. L.
Brooks returned Sunday from weeks
campaigning in eastern counties. In two
or three counties they found some differ
ences among the Democrats as to the
county ticket, but they say that in every
one of them the amendment and the
legislative ticket are all right.
DR.. Fox Person, one of Buffers spell
binders, was in the city Sunday to take
final orders.
''They don't want to let me get off the
train in some places and when l get off
they put me back on he said, "but I'm
going to keep on speaking up to the night
before election-if the thing don't break
up in a row. l tell you the Democrats
don't know how much aroused the people
are. l should not be surprised if there
was bloodshed if these red shirt devils
keep on
Folks are offering to bet money that
Butler won't go home to vote.
Fusionists look mad when you mention
DR.. Comedown Thomnson's letter an
nouncing his withdrawal from the race
for Governor. 1t was sort of last will
and testament that has done them in
finite harm.
1T has done more to .disorganize us and
play hell in our camp generally than any
thing that has happened since the Win
ston registrar boomerang" said a Fusion
list Sunday night. CDR. Thompson may
have intended it as love lick, but it was
brick bat that has struck us plump in
the pit of the stomach and doubled us up.
The Doctor may not have so intended it,
but he has certainly evened up old scores
with Butler by that letter.
Butler is figuring close on the Legisla-
ture, and every power ON earth he pos
sesses will be brought to bear in his ef
fort to carry it.
'HThere will be some surprises to the
Democrats in the legislative returns" he
explained to a fellow Fusionist. ''espe-
cially in the Senate"
He is confident of carrying the district
composed of Durham, Alamance, Orange
and Caswell.
Just now the Fusionists would be bet
ter off if they had more votes and fewer
schemes.
Wiley Parker, ropulist candidate for
coroner in BERTHE county, refuses to
run and will support the amendment.
The Caswell Democrat gives this ac-
count OF a speaking in Caswell county:
1.-THE color line was drawn for the first
time in this county when r. r. McNinch
and j. II. Kerr, Democratic speakers, and
Oscar J. Spears and Jno. T. Benbow, Re-
publicans, were billed to speak at Locust
ldSL WIFI tue SOOu ptO-
pie gathered at Locust Hill they were
sorry to find the Republicans were repre-
sented only by Mr.. Spears, and this bloat-
ed hog who has been eating for two
years at the Republican pie counter posi-
lively refused every offer of the Democrat
made him for a joint debate. Messrs.
McNinch and Kerr then called all the men
who were advocates of White Supremacy
to come to another shady place if they
wished to hear whitemanism preached,
and stay where they were if they were
either light or dark skin negroes. After
this statement all the white people with
drew, except four who said by their ac-
tions We are light skin negroes Shame
upon them, to SANDER their mothers,
wives and daughters just for a slice OF
"Nigesr Pie"
