Mr. Abernethytthen referred bEonysto
his work among the people and the inter-
est he had taken. not only in the inn
provement of their financial condition, but
also in bringing about better state OF
affairs politically and socially.
During the last few months we have
been engaged in most momentous con-
fcit and have won a great victory. In
this memorable conflict have been enlist
cd not only our truest and best mon, but
also the fair women of North Carolina for
the sake of their sons and daughters who
are to follow them, And now, thank God,
we have triumphcd and established White
Supremacy throughout the longth and

there existed sufficient cause for declar-

any people on earth. The Philippine war
waa Instituted and is being waged at the
command OF corporate greed and the mon

story Of the farmer who employed the
Irlshman to lay Off corn rows for him. He

yin. and. pointing TO a COW across the

few hours returned to see how his work
was progressing. To his surprise no irish
man or team was TO be seen. He followed
the furrow which ran straight the proper
distance aud then began to meander
down the hill toward tho river. AZ the
river he found his Irishman sitting COM
placently upon his plow.
