TWO CENTS
FIGHT ON.
Meredith and Dayton Lock
Horns this Afternoon.

Hot Scrap on In This district Other
Districts Of the County are Expected
to Go to Dayton several Leaders are
Opposing Him in Town Status Of
the Scrap.
The fight is on this afternoon ia
this county for delegates TO the Re-
publican Congressional Convention
in this district. Dayton ana Mere
dith are the points of interest and
they have been on the ground for
some days marshalling their forces
for the scrap which is being pulled
oil as We go to press.
In this district the hottest fight
is expected TO take place. DAYTON
has the organization with him or
the members of the so called court
house ring. He has always been
popular with them as he has happy
faculty OF taking care of his friends.
Opposed to them are number OF
independents among them being
Hon. George G. Sturgiss, Charles
Goodwin and others of more or less
prominence. They are making a
warm fight for Meredith ind are
using many arguments OF potency.
Dayton's friends are attacking Mer-
edith's moral character and are max
ing some very ugly charges.
This has deeply ineensed the 9TH
er fellows who are making'the furiy
on Dayton to the extent of their
ability. Many Fairmont politicians
are here taking hand in the matter
and they all claim that Meredith
has been badly treated by the Nor
gantown republican members Of the
bar who promised him their support
but who have failed to deliver the
goods when they were asked TO do
So
In the country districts there is a
good deal Of interest being held and
district meetings are assembled all
over the county to choose delegates.
They are however expected to be
set up for Dayt ton as the word has
been passed out to the leaders In
each district from the head OF the
organization here
Excitement is running high in
town this afternoon and there will
be record breaking attendance on
the meeting of the Morgan district
convention. Both candidates will
be there

VALUABLE CAMPAIGN BOOK.

The News and Observer is in receipt
of an advance copy of a splendid cam
paign book called the National Com
mercial Traveller
This book has been compiled by the
National Democratic Committee of
Commercial Travellers, st. Louis, and
has been paid for by that committee.
The work has been done in order to
give the Democratic press of the
country and the advocates of De-
mocracy in general some succinct and
easily attainable information concern
ing the Trusts of this country, which
today are great menace of Repub-
lican institutions, and in the judgment
of this committee constitute the para
mount issue of the campaign.
The long list of Trusts published IN
this book has been compiled
and corrected with great care. 1t Is
a startling answer to Mr.. Hanna's re-
mark that There are no Trusts.
The book will be distributed free
| throughout the United States anC
should be in the hands of every speak
er and every voter in the country.

McKINLEY'S NEGRO APPOINT.
MENTS,

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, writing upon the attitude
of the negroes to Mckinley, criticizes
the President for his course as the
special professed friend of the negro,
and makes this strong point:
Moreover, he has failed to use his
power of appointment in such a way
as to appeal to the self-respect and pa
triotism of the negro. He insisted upon
appointing to a high office in Lou
isiana a negro of such VIGOROUSLY bad
character that Republican Senate re-
fused to confirm him. What greater
wrong can be done to these poor peo-
pie, just entering into the rights and
duties of citizenship, than to be assur-
ed that INSCRIPTIONS party services,
and not character and capacity, are
the condition of appointment? He
has appointed few postmasters in
Southern towns, where their chances
of success were smallest; but he has
failed to make such appointments in
the North, where the negroes have had
better training and where prejudice
is less proscriptive.'
InlS writer says Inat IL Mchlnley
were really the friend of the negro
political elevation he would give posi-
ton to him in the North. The Presi-
dent does not do this, but puts them
on the people of the South where it is
offensive. And more than that: He
appoints, with few exceptions, corrupt
negroes who disgrace the race. Most
of the negroes appointed to Federal
offices in North Carolina have already
been sent to the penitentiary or are
under indictment.
There is much talk to the effect that
the bulk of Northern negroes Will vote
against Mckinley. 1t will result IN
little more than talk. The negroes as
voters have with few exceptions stead
fastlv voted with the Republicans.
They will continue to do so, and SO
far as the Southern Democrats are
concerned they do not seek their vote
or cater to it.

A BIG DIFFERENCE.

At a conference of the African
Methodist church held in ONO 1eW
days ago, Bishop Grant, OF Indian
apolis, said:
II am an American citizen; this is my
country. | am not going around to ask
the white people what they are going 10
do with us. We have reached the place
where we can say we are considering
whether we will let the white man stop
in this country or not"
Compare this tommy rot with the
utterances of negro leaders in the
South-men who live where the race
is strongest in numbers, wealth and
influence, and men who know the con-
ditions. We quote from an address is
sued this week by a committee APP
pointed for that purpose at negro
conference recently held i'll Raleigh.
After giving some candid, but most
wholesome advice looking to the
mental. moral and material progress
of the negro race, the address closes
with these words:
1--WE respectfully appeal to the conserv-
alive white people of North Carolina in
behalf of the children of the black NAM
mics who nursed your fathers, and the
uncle Joe's and Ben's who protected your
mothers and your homes during the dark
days of Southern history.
I'VE need and desire your friendship
and protection, and we beg that you Gull
tivate the friendship of the negroes in
your midst
Give us the gospel of love, purity and
peace and help us to help ourselves.
May God bless North Carolina"
Who shall say that such sentiments
as these do not tend more to better
feeling between the races than does
such brazen, crazy talk as that in
dulged in by the fool bishop in Ohio?
The negro cannot prosper as long as
he fights the white man upon whom
he is still dependent and will be for
many years to come. An experience
of thirty-five years since the war has
proved this, and he is an unwise leader
that has not learned the lesson.

SOME CAMPAIGN THOUGHTS.

To workingman this campaign is con-
fusing. If the Republicans win, the trusts
will further increase the cost OF necessa-
ries of life, while Bryan, if elected, will
chop our dollars in two-at least Mark
Hanna says so, and he wouldn't lie about
a little thing like that
President Mckinley gave us two short
cotton crops and thereby raised the price
to 1Oc He ought certainly to see to 1t
that this winter is severe, thus aiding
the wool market by increased demands.
There should be no sectionalism in such
matters. This would also help the poor
coal mine owners and railroads. OF course
consumers would suffer, but everybody
can not be equally prosperous. That
would be socialism, you know.
We are now lending money to Europe
that is, you and | are not, but New
York bankers are-and many people are
lying awake at night from sheer happi-
ness at the thought that our wealth is in
creasing so fast. All this money is, OF
course, at the command of the common
people, whose labor has produced 1T, but
they periodically leave it in New York,
where it is so safe and where it is more
convenient for foreign borrowers.
Roosevelt, the candidate paving UP the
earth out West and bowling about the
Ice Trust, and Roosevelt the Governor
ignoring the same organization because
all it's officers and 90 per cent of its
stockholders are Republicans, form one
of the most humorous spectacles of the
campaign.
Reed was not invited to speak" but
Harrison, who has been invited and i'm
portuned with much strenousness, has al
most been brought to the point of pub
| licly supporting Mckinley, the nominee
| of his party. He will come to some de-
| cision about it soon, until which time Re
publcans may keep their enthusiasm il
| reserve.
Quay is campaigning for the Republican
| ticket Perhaps our President has set on
few plum trees" hoping they will ar
rive at the proper age for shaking af
| ter next March.
Seriously, what a farce it all is!

Holtonism
(Minston Sentinel.)

''IIoltonsm" is a term applicable to the
effort of the District Attorney to try
Registrar Thompson upon counts added to
the original bill of indictment after the
preliminary examination. This was
unique proceeding, to say the least, and
looks very much like a high handed and
despicahle attempt at tyranny and perse-
cution. Fortunately, Judge Boyd, before
whom this innovation was attempted was
possessed o. a sense of justice and re-
gard for precedent and the attempt, very
properly, proved a miserable failure and
the case was continued.

MRS. JOE PERSONS
{" And He Never Took Hold Again"

Some ten or twelve years ago lady II
this State was suffering from severe
henorrhage of the womb For years she
had been subject to almost continuous
flow, and at last she got into so low
condition that she was confined to the
bed. All efforts of the doctors failed to
check it, and finally two of the leading
physicians of her locality pronounced the
case cancerous. Her prostration was
great, and nothing seemed to reach her
case One of her neighbors insisted on
her trying my Remedy and Wash. This
she would not do until she had consulted
her doctor. His reply was, when Mrs.
Person takes hold, we turn loose; when
size turns loose, we take hold" However,
she concluded to try it. Without letting
| anyone into the secret, she used my
wash copiously. great improvement
| soon set in and by its continued use she
ncs soon we'll. She has been cured all
| these years, and says she can never say
enough for Mrs. Joe Persons Wash
The name of the lady will be given, il
| desired, upon application to me.
