agents Let us hear from every town
and county at once.
Address W. 0. SMITH,
Charlotte, N. C.
One Thousand More.
We want one thousand new sub
scribers by the first of January. Let
every lady and every gentlemen reader
send us one new subscriber or send us
a list of the reading colored people
around you, with their postofficc ad
dress, so we may send them a copy of
our paper
Free to Preachers.
We offer the following inducements
to preachers of the gospel, for getting
subscribers to the Messenger. To
every preacher sending us throe new
cash subscribers between this and
January, we will send the Messenger
one year free. We will take chickens,
eggs, butter, &c., when the money
can’t bo had. Go to work.
Have you registered ?
It is only ten days till the election, j
Prohibition is good, hut republi- j
eanism is better now
The democrats of this town forsook
prohibition as early as May. VVc do
60 now.
Dockery will make the best Gover
nor North Carolina ever had. Who
will fail to give him a help?
Does Fowle represent the decent
democracy of this State? If so the
party must go down with him. He
cant get there.
Rev. C. N. Grandison the silver j
tongued orator of the M. K. Church
preached at Grace church last Sun
day morning and Rev. J. I’. Morrison
of the same church preached at night.
Bishop C. R. Harris will conduct
the services at Grace church tomorrow.
Bishop C. C. Petty preached at
Clinton chapel last Sunday night,
and was to leave yesterday for Ala
bama.
Cooper says now, he would conic
down if he could honorably do so.
Ford says he will fight the battle
to the gates in spite of propositions
by Cooper’s friends to buy him off'.
Ford’s friends as well as Cooper’s
republican friends will support all
republicans in the field, hence no loss
to republicans.
If the vote is properly looked after
in this county Dockery will get 160
majority and Harrison 30 majority.
Mark these figures and watch the
foils.
Sober, thinking democrats seem to
•cem to be neither anxious nor hopo
f'd for Cleveland’s re-election.
It is about time you had registered.
L Th ® old books are thrown away and
I every man must register.
I E. M. Andrews has bought out
j tho coffin house on Tryon street. It
will remain at the present stand some
I time yet.
The collection at Grace church on
Sunday before last was $52, on last
Sunday it was about sl2. The
church will come out all right if the
Conference sends us a good man.
j Some democrats are saying Torrence
is not the best man for tax collector.
I That bo rejoiced too much the day
j he was nominated.
They say Cobb has been in the
registers office sixteen years and that
tho county officers should be changed
a little oftener.
Some colored men say they will
vote for certain democrats on personal
grounds. They are just so much
democrats and should not ask any one
else to do the same.
Cooper is charged with handcuffing
women, will you vote for him ?
Cooper has summoned a number
of special venires, but never a.colored
man.
Cooper has appointed all democrats
as his subordinates and says if elected
tax collector lie will appoint democrats.
Cooper says he has been a republi
can for a month. If he has turned,
it is because he was forced to, or he
was bought over by the SIO,OOO he
has already made and the $6,000 he
hopes to make as tax collector. Is
that the sort of man to vote for?
Cooper wants to come down, but
the sharks have him and ho can’t
come down till they have finished
bleeding him
Cooper is a republican for revenue
only, if a republican at all. Such
men can only live in the democratic
party. Let Cooper return to his farm
and have rest.
Cooper has the advantage of the
entire county fund in this county.
It is only the Cooper men who allowed
to get on the inside of quarters. No
extra papers or extra work has been
| asked for of us.
Vote for W. G. Ford for tax
collector.
The mills grind slowly, but Roger
Q is going to powder.
Gudger says North Carolina will
give Fowle 40,000 majority; Vance
says 15,000 —
Congress adjourned, last Saturday. ;
It was the longest session on record, j
Tuesday, Nov 16th is election
day. Register before Saturday night
or you can’t vote.
Don’t forget Dockery speaks here |
Monday night.
11. Baruch sells dry goods and I
clothing cheaper than any house in j
this city. Go see him.
Mrs"? A. A. Powell died at her
homo in Greensboro the first of the
week. Rev. Powell has tho sympathy
of the good people here.
Mr. W, J. Yates, editor and pro
prietor of the Charlotte Democrat was
found dead in his bed Thursday
morning.
Some strange things arc whispered
around about Rev. Morris’ move
ments. We will explain next week.
Mrs. A. C. Monroe has not been
in Illinois as stated in this paper,
but has been living in Duluth Minn.
Mr. Monroe is doing a thriving busi
ness out there and both are well
pleased with their new home. It is
on the banks of Lake Superior.
Cooper is and has been tho only
disturbing clement in this county and
the people are determined to drive
him out of the race or give him the
worst beatiDg man ever had.
Mecklenburg couuty suffers for the
want of intelligent leadership. Dcina
gouges arc not fit to lead and they
succeed here in keeping men like
Myers, McDonald, Brady and Bynum
in tho back ground. “When the
wicked rule the people mourn.” That
is our trouble here.
Hon O. 11. Dockery is billed to
speak hero next Monday night. Let
everybody come out and hear him.
The people’s candidate aud tho
peoples next Governor.
Hon. James U Blain has done a
I S reat work in the west and has re
turned to New York. New York
i must be carried for Harrison and the
i outlook is very favorable just now.
The republican tariff bill proposes
a reduction of 70 million while the
Mills bill proposes only 55 million.
The difference is, the republican bill
reduces tax on the necessities, sugar
for instance, while the Mills bill
' does not.
Mr Marshall Mott made the best
speech heard in this county this year.
He is a power and a terror to demo
cracy. He is a brilliant and eloquent
speaker. The people here cannot be
better plcasod.
Since this is a white man’s county
let white men lead in the prohibition
movement as they lead in the two
old parties. Let white men split and
lead off and colored men may follow
next time.
Mr. Grandison made an eloquent
and logical speech at the court house
last Saturday night. He represents
a great cause and his cause is ably
represented, but the time has not
come yet for colored men to leave the
G. O. P. Mr. Grandison is a great
speaker.
We propose to republish our article
on “A female seminary for Zion,”
before tho assembling of the Annual
Conference. The importance of such
uq institution is seon more and more
every day. Scotia is crowded and
for the good of our girls and our
church wo should have a female
school. No one should oppose such
an enterprise for selfish motives.
Think on the matter, preachers, and
read our article when it appears.
Bishop J. W. Hood has taken
advantage of the opportunity and in
denying certain charges against him
self, has written a very strong letter
in the interest of the republican party
He docs not consider it proper for
him to dabble in politics, but he says
he is as much a republican now as
over ho was. He is not for prohibi
tion just now, but will vote for Harri
son and Morton. His preachers and
churchmen will do the same just at
this time.
Mrs.lndependence Booker left with her
grand-daughter, Miss Sallie Bailey,
for California yesterday. Mrs. Sallie
Cleveland and others wore in the
party. A large crowd was at the
depot to see them off.
, Very Hard Up,
It is hard to tell which is in the
hardest luck, the democrats here or
Dave Lccraft. The Chronicle of
Tuesday publishes a card purporting
to come from Dave Leeraft advising
his colored friends to support the
democratic ticket. We have nothing
to say about Dave’s integrity, intelli
gence, sobriety, honesty, &c. Every
body in town knows that too well for
for Dave, and people outside don’t
care. Dave said to a friend a week
ago that he had been offered $lO by
the democrats and they had given
him a part of the money. We know
that he knows nothing about tariff or
any other tax. Ho can’t write a
letter, and didn’t write that mutilated
concern in the Chronicle. He has in
time applied to us to write for him
and wo know his calibre. Dave was
hard up for a drink and the demo
cratic party was hard up for capital
and recruits ; but it will find on the
night of the 6th of November it is
far short of enough recruits.
Whoop ’em Up.
The great democratic boss of North
Carolina has been sent for to rouse up
from their lethargy the democratic
party of this county. lie came with
flourish of banner and sounding of
trumpets, so to speak The daily
papers were filled with black lines in
different columns urging the faithful
to turn out.
He spoke! One paper says two
thousand people. Another witness
estimates the crowd at about three
hundred. What is tho matter? The
great, Zebulon fails to arouse the
democracy 1 The Chronicle devotes
less than a half column to his speech.
It is said he didn't mention the State
ticket. That he was applauded about
twice, and weak then. Is there no
balm in Gilead ? Is there no physi
cian to heal this sick democracy ?
Poor old democracy. It is doomed
and the Republicans will soon rejoice
at its funeral. Wo have already se
cured our gun, flag and rooster, as
well as a dead fowl.
Gen. Barringer not a Democrat.
The democratic press continues to
harp on Gen. Barringer’s leaving the
republican party and joining the
democrats. Gen. Barringer says ho
is pleased with Cleveland’s adminis
tration and will vote for his re-elec
tion, but he will vote for Dockery
and the republican State and county
ticket. Hundreds of democrats in
this county will vote for Dockery;
should we say they have left their
party simply because they vote for
Dockery. As Gen. Barringer puts it
himself, he is now, “half and half.”
The democrats are publishing the
name of every recruit and many old
time democrats. Dave Lccraft voted
for Cleveland four years ago, and has
no influence over his own household,
wheu he knows where to find them.
Was Cooper Nominated?
Was Cooper nominated by the re
publicans of this county ? is the ques
tion now being asked by many voters.
We answer, no. In the first place a
majority of the townships were not
represented and persons were admitted
to the convention on fraudulent cre
dentials and such persons voted for
Cooper. Then there was not a ma
jority of the votes cast for him as he
got only 19 out of the 40 votes. Iu
the second place the convention de
clared all the candidates nominated
except Cooper, and he was endorsed
over the protest of more than half the
convention; but he had money and
he spent some and promised sonic.
In the third place he was a democrat
and had ho been nominated any re
publican had a right to vote that part
of the ticket.
Therefore Cooper must come down
now or we will knock him down on
the Cth of November, with ballots
written—W. G. Ford.
The Compress Strike.
Last Saturday the tie hands of the
compress struck for more wages which
caused the work to stop. We know
nothing of the methods used, but learn
they were under the impression they
were getting $1.50, and when they
learned they were to get but $1.25
all quit work. The manager tele
graphed to Richmond, Wilmington
and other points for men, hut found
in those cities men doing similar work
gets2.oo to $2.50 per day. By Mon
daymorning the manager and the men,
except two, had repented. The man
ager was willing to increase the pay,
but tho men consented to return for
$1.25 per day before they learned
this.
If it is worth $2.00 in other cities
it is certainly worth $1.50 here, The
reason colored men get no better
wages, they will not demand and
stand ont for it. “ The laborer is
worthy his hire.”
ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Svecp, for chil
dren teething, is the prescription of one of the
best female nurses and physicians in the
United States, and has been used for forty
years witli never-failing success by millions of
mothers for their children. Duringthe process
of teething its value is incalculable. It relieves
the child from pain, cures dysentery and diar
rhoea, griping in the bowels, and wind-colic.
By giving health to the child it rests the
mother. Price 25c. a iiottle.
