The manifest unrest which every

necessity of the reform forces coming
together in united action at the ballot
box to obtain proper legislation where
by the right Of the people to self gov

and their posterity. Experience hav-
ing demonstrated the futility of any
attempt to secure the enactment of
our truth either through the republi-
can or democratic parties. we believe
the time is now at hand when the uni
ted peoples party should declare itself
emphatlcaIly opposed to any affilia-
ton with either of these parties and
unQualifiedly in favor of national poll

BACK FROM
Governor AycOck Was Greatly
Pleased With the Encampment.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The MesSenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., July Ex-Governor
Aycock returned from Morehead City
this afternoon greatly pleased with the
encampment Of the Second regiment.
The officers of the regiment express
great satisfaction at the encampment
at which $50 officers n enlisted men
were present. The only criticism Is
that a number of companies whose OF
fcers were rather green, this being
due to the mistaken rolicy of making
frequent changes of officers. Only five
men were in the hospital, none being
seriously sick. Major French, Of the
Sixteenth Infantry of the United States
army, who Is specially 6etaileed to at
tend all the encampnerts of North
Carolina National guard has made a par
ticularly fine impression on both officers
and men. Companies from his regi-
ment are ordered to attend encamp-
ments Of the Third and First regiments
at Greensboro and Asheville. 1t is very
strongly intimated thai next year there
will be encampment of an entire bril-
gade. The behavior Of the troops of the
Second regiment in camp was so good
as to win compliments from the officers
and visitors.
