to reopen the question settled at that
time by the States wisest and best

approves the settlement made in 1879

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE PLAT
! FORM.
What the Convention In Greensboro Last
Week Declared for as to North Caro-

perance Policy of Present Administra-
ton Endorsed.
The Democratic Party points with
pride to it's settlement of the race
problem in North Carolina-a settle
ment that depends upon Democratic
supremacy for it's permanence. The
Constitutional Amendment furnishes
to all the people of the State safe
guards of peace and order, of life,
liberty and happiness, and guaran-
tees educational, religious and social
progress as we'll as industrial pros

EDUCATION.
We re-afirm our constitutional de-
clarations that religion, morality
and knowledge being necessary to
good government and the happiness
of mankind, schools and the means
of education shall forever be
aged" and "that the people have a
right to the privilege of education,
and that it is the duty of the State
to guard and maintain that right"
and we express our hearty approval
of the educational work of the pres
ent administration, and our gratif-
cation at the great improvements
made in our educational conditions
under the present Democratic admin
istration, and would call attention
to the fulfllment of the former prom

further express our cordial common
dation of the work of the teaching
profession for the mental, moral and
material advancement of the people.
and pledge for the future our best
endeavors to strengthen and increase
the usefulness and efficiency of our
whole public educational system.
TEMPERANCE.
We approve the general principles
of the Watts law regulating the man
ufacture and sale of liquors, and linn
iting the same to localities in which
there may be adequate police protec-
ton. The principle that no saloon or
still shall operate except under police
protection is as sound as that whiskey
shall not be sold to minors, tc
drunkards, or on Sundays, or near
the schools and churches. The Gen
eral Assembly has the power, and
when controlled by the Democratic
Party can be trusted to make all
amendments that experience and con-
ditions may demonstrate to be wise
and proper.

The Democratic Party established
the system of pensioning Confeder-

Home to the care of the veterans who
responded to the call of the State in
the War Between the States. Every
dollar given them was appropriated
or forced by the Democratic Legisla-

A COMRADES TRIBUTE.
To the late Geo. w. Thurmond.

George w. Thurmond was a
member Of company "A", 22nd
regiment of the South Carolina in
fantry. He was man of fine
physique and striking personality.
He was always a marked man,
strong and positive by nature. He
was what he was at all times and
in all places. MIR. Thurmond was
an ideal soldier, the bravest of the
brave. Always present and ready
for duty. In battle there was no
fear depicted upon his grum and
determined face. With flashing
eye and deliberate aim in his
firing and bearing he seemed to be
fearless and won the admiration
of all. AS a comrade he was re-
spected and popular with officers.
and men alike-llways kind and
generous. He was one of the nine
of company ga" who surrendered
at Arpomattox. Since that mem.
orable occasion l have met him
only few times but can never
forget his record as soldier.

bertrand there is another fellow
we can't tell you his name !or he
don't want your votes, as he does

We ask that you oblige. him by
voting for the two gentlemen
above named. That other fellow
is long, lean and ugly, struts like
a gobbler and that's about all he's
capable of doing. He was once a
member Of the Legislature, but he
did nothing while there but strut
and draw his pay. Truth of it is,
he has good wife and people
voted for him on that account. He
is a good fcllow-to leave at home.
