The FL Dorado team this year is said to

how much stronger cannot be estimated.
The personnel Of the High School team
changes every season and this year there

The High School team has been having
nightly practices under the direction Of
Professor Wareham and many new meth
ods have been introduced. One Of the

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.

The New Orleans Picayune says that

The vote was light, about 80 per cent
of the registered vote. The Picayune

tiOnal Amendment has given Louis

IT IS TIE LEGISLATURE.

The action of the Populist conven-
ton makes it clear that Pritchard and
Butler have practically decided not to
make their strongest fight against
the splendid ticket the Democrats
have nominated for State officers, but
to concentrate their most strenuous
efforts to defeat the amendment and
carry the Legislature. Unless the
present tactics are changed, they can
not defeat the State ticket because
they have no fusion as to State Off
fusion on the county and legislative
ticket and both are opposed to the
amendment. The chief object Butler
and Pritchard have in view is to elect
a Fusion Legislature. That gives
them Buffers reelection. and both
would sacrifice TIE whole Populist
party to secure his reelection for six
years, Butler because he wants the
job, and Pritchard because he wants
~ WIZ NhilC up
ulism, will do Hanna's bidding upon
emergency. Besides, Pritchard thinks
with the old 1896 dishonest Fusion
election law. he could be reelected
when his term expires.
The DemOcrats-the white folks
who believe in White Supremacy
have nominated an invulnerable and
able State ticket. That ticket will be
triumphantly elected if the party in
the counties are as wise i'm nominat-
ing the Legislative ticket as the State
convention was in nominating the
State ticket. 1T is to be the object of
attack. We urge the Democrats in
every county to nominate their hon
estest and best men. The nomination
of weak men, or men under railroad
influence, or men who have unpopular
records will be hurtful anywhere and
fatal in close counties and in close
senatorial districts. With strong NOM
nations all along the line, the White
Supremacy party will win glorious
victory if it does not permit itself to
be lulled into sense Of security from
Over-confidence.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THEM.

The white people of North Carolina
are tired of the negro in politics. and
they are going to end it by the amend
ment. The man who stands in their
way. while prating of love of the
Caucasian. will wake up after the Au-
gust election to find that he has been
politically flattened beyond recogni-
ton.
Mr. Aycock says he wishes 1.-The
niger question eliminated from
politics so that men may be free to
discuss other questions and to be in
dependent. Therefore he supports the
only suggested measure that gets rid
OF the niger question" Butler says
he wants to get rid of 1.-The Niger
question in order to have a discus
sion of great economic questions. He
bellies his utterance by fighting the
onl% measure ever suggested TO get
rid of the negro" Reason: he has
arranged a legislative fusion with the
negro party to get back to the Senate,
He has no hope of winning except
through the solid negro vote.
Aycock is honest in his position:
Butler is dishonest. That's the diff
ference between the two.

HOPES SWEET SONG.

North Carolina has been enriched in
many ways through The Kelley treat
ment administered at Greensboro. Men
bowed for years under weight or woe
walk erect, women heavy eyed and pale
from constant weeping, blush and smile
and are made glad; but these are not all
of it's blessings. The literature OF our
country has been enriched with thous-
and new expressions and hardly paper
can be picked up that it does not con-
tain some mention of the treatment 1t
is being endorsed by our best men, and
the women who have never give their sup
mort unless to a worthy cause, are doing
much good in this grand work.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
GREATEST SPEECH EVER HEARD IN
RALEIGH.
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record.
Aycock's speech at the Democratic
State convention was the greatest speech
that we have ever heard at any conven-
tiOn held in this State, and we have at
tended every convention, with only one
exception, that has been held by the
Democrats Of this State since 1865. We
have never heard any man surpass it, not
even Vance himself, and greater praise
than this cannot be given it.
This speech had evidently been care
fully prepared. every sentence closely
considered and appropriately placed, and
yet was spoken as fOrcefully and grace
fully as if it was eXtemporaneous. 1t
was eminently the speech of statesman
delivered by an orator, and was heard
with closest attention by the most en-
thusiastic convention ever held in the
State. 1t was a grand occasion for
great speech, and the man and the hour
had met and Aycock proved himself fully
equal TO it.

FROM COURT TO CURE.

Many wise judges of our courts have
already endorsed the Kelley Treatment
at Greensboro, and have come to the con-
clusion that the drunkard should have
medicine and not stripes. nursing and not
chains The foundation for this belief
is based on DR.. Keeley's statement that
drunkenness is a disease past obeylng
the bidding of the drunkard. Every ele-
ment of his will drives him on to drain
the cup. even did it hold instant death.
Millions of drunkards have gone down
to death with the despairing cry, Il can
not give it up, | am helpless; help me,
YOU who are strong? And we have re-
fused to believe them. DR.. Kelley has
thrown the light of wisdom on this sub
lime truth and the world is reading anew
the old, old lesson. Il am my brothers
