"BUZZARD EVERY TIME"

When the Republicans and Popu-
lists made their first fusion in North
Carolina, the agreement was that
each party was to have a Senator.
That made the Senate stand-off. In
1896, when a Senator was to be chosen
to succeed Senator Pritchard, the
Populists demanded the Governor as
their share of the spoils. The Repub-
licans refused to surrender it, saving
that Butler and Pritchard made a
stand-off. Now this year, when the
Populists again demand the Governor,
the Republicans refuse to give it to
them. Here is their position as stated
by DR.. Thompson:
''And. besides, we have under this
arrangement the united force of the
Republican members of the Legisa-
ture for Senator Buffers return to
the United States Senate, WHICH WE
COULD NOT HAVE SECURED had
permitted my name to head the ticket
for Governor.
$50 Thompson was forced off the
Ticket by this threat. How do Popu.
lists like such dictation?

BIGGEST WATERMELON SEEN.
As Beautiful as a Scotland County Belle Was
This Melon.

The News and Observer received a
day or two ago watermelon that
weighed siXty-seven pounds, on which
was inscribed 'Josephus Daniels, Raj
eigh, \. c." The next day. a letter
came stating that the melon had been
sent with the compliments of Mr.. j.
II. White, of Gibson, Scotland county
the original home of red shirts, big
watermelons, and beautiful women.
1t was the finest melon that a Raj
eigh printers eyes rested upon. 1t
was of the ''Triumph'' variety. 1t was
kept on ice two days, and yesterday
afternoon it was duly honored. A dis
tinguished party composed of Mayor
Powell. the directors of the News and
Observer, the officials of the State
Democratic headquarters, and the
staff and employees of this paper
gathered to do justice to the huge
melon Mr.. c. b. Edwards did the
carving and all hands did the eating.
1t was as sweet and luscious as it was
large and imposing. Many a quip and
jest was given over the table, but Mir.
Carey j. Hunters conundrum took the
prize. It was:
why does a negro love watermelon
so much?"
There were many answers, and some
good ones, but none gave the right
answer which, according to Mr.. Hum
ter is: Because it is so good"
The company voted its thanks to
Mr.. White for his fine treat and voted
him the most generous man going.

powerful in North Carolina, has been
swallowed up. The Populists who
stand for financial reform are in the
Democratic party and have received
warm welcome; the Populists who
are really Republicans and have little
concealment like Jenkins, Garrett,
Peace, and the like are holding Fed
eral offices and openly doing the bid
ding of the Republicans; the Populists
who use Populism to hide their treach-
cry and betrayal of principle, like
Butler, are doing the bidding of Han
ma but trying to run with the hare
and hold with the hound"
This is the answer to the question:
what has become of the Populist
party in North Carolina" There still
remains Populist party in the West
ern States. We do not refer to Hanna's
open purchased gang called the Mid
dle-of -the-Road Populists. They are
the same sort as the Butler Populists
ILL 4NOIUII 'iiS wv -
Carolina traitor thinks he can hurt
Democracy most by not boiling. We
refer to Populists of Nebraska, led by
Senator Allen and Governor Holcombe'
in Kansas led by Briedenthal and Jer-
nv Simpson, and in other Western
States The Populists in those States
fight Republicans and have eternal
war with McKinley's office-holders.
They fought the Democracy just as
vigorously when Clevelandism domi-
mated the Democratic party. They
stand for their principles and will not
compromise them to cooperate with
gold bugs either on county or State
elections. They would be insulted If
asked, for example, to vote for Sena-
tor Thurston for Senator in a trade
to get Senator Allen made Governor
That is the Fusion Butler has in North
Carolina this year. Such dishonorable,
unholy and dishonest political conduct
they would despise out West as 1T is
despised and abhorred by every hon
est man of every party in North Caro-
lima.

DR.. Thompson makes it clear in his
letter withdrawing as the Popullst
candidate for Governor, that he does
so in order to get the Republican sup
port for Butler for Senator. He writes
in self-abnegating manner and says:
ut is of more value to the party to
re-elect Senator Butler than that [
should be Governor"
Of course it is-to Butler and to
Mark Hanna, and they furnish the ~
ing and the money on which this cam
paign is run.
The Black-and-Tan party by thus de-
claring that the Senatorship is the all
important thing and that Buffers re-
turn will follow Fusion success, make
Butler the issue in the campaign. The
white folks want no better issue than
his treachery, his double-dealing, and
his venality. Putting him to the front
will put the Democrats on their met
tie, for there is nothing that decent
vote on Butler. He is despised as no
other man who has lived in North
Carolina in this generation, not be-
cause he was q Populist and is now q
Republican Incorporating as a Pop
ulist,' but because of his treachery
and double-dealing. Prating loudly

Today, cheek by jowl with nobody

Infamous campaign sheet and pay the
campaign expenses.
No man can serve two masters. But

WHY INCOME TAX WAS LEFT OUT.
It Was an Unintentional Oversight Declares
Chairman Jones
(By the Associated PressD

New York, July Ex-senator James X.
Jones. chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, reached the city today
from Washington. He said that no Ma
tonal headquarters would be established
in this city for the present; that the
Democratic State Committee would man
age the campaign in New York State until
such time as it might be deemed neces-
sary to establish national headquarters
He will remain here five days.
Senator Jones said:
81 came here to look over the situation
and talk with the leaders. / don't know
how long l shall stay, possibly may leave
tomorrow. 1t will depend entirely on cir
cumstances. We think that the Demo-
cratic State Committee officers are COM
petent to carry on the campaign in this
State"
Asked what he thought of the signifi-
canoe of the failure of the gold Demo-
Gratis to nominate third ticket he re-
piled:
"Why I think that means that num-
Der of gold Democrats will vote for Bry-
an. l don't see what other construction
can be placed on it,
Asked about the anti-imperialists meet
ing on August 18th, he answered:
THAT also will help Bryan immensely
and will help the Democratic party in
various ways
Speaking of the absence of any income
tax plank in the Democratic platform,
Senator Jones said:
GAS chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, and also as chairman of
the Platform Committee l can say at this
time that it was a matter of unintentional
oversight that it was left out. 1t was in
the platform, but the stenographer in re-
vising his notes, left it out and it was
not noticed | had an addition to be sub
mtted, and it was merely matter of
oversight. 1t practically makes no diff
ference, anyhow, as the platform re-
endorses the platform of 1896, and that
necessarily endorses the income tax plank
in that platform. We have then, in an
indirect way, it is true, an income tax
plank"

MRS. JOE PERSONS

Without An Equal.

I consider Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
is without an equal. Ten years ago it
cured me of cancer on my face, pro-
nounced so by three physicians, also of
rheumatism, and every spring previous
to that l was covered with boils that
would last for months. Since that time
l have never had the appearance of one.
SO many have been to me for informa-
ton that / have concluded to write you
a second time, acknowledging my graft
tude to you and Almighty God for maxi
ing you the instrument in His hands Of
doing so much, and let the public know
of my wonderful cure.
Your Remedy and Wash do all they
claim to do and even more. Should they
ever return, l would feel safe of recov-
cry with your medicine and Gods help.
| have seen numbers Of cases cured right
here at home with your Remedy, and all
are ready to bless you and say there is
none so worthy of universal patronage as
this noble woman and her valuable med
icine. Only give it a trial. 1t will speak
for titself. l am still using all my infiu-
ence for you.
