If? V THE HEADLIGHT. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR. A. ROSCOWER, Editor and Proprietor. Golds boro, X. C, November. "i, ISPS. A (J BEAT DEMONSTRATION. Ten thousand white citizens of North Carolina met here Friday mid declared they would free the people of the State from ncro rule. It was the greatest and most enthusiastic meeting of the Anglo Saxon race known in all the history of the State. Every section of North Carolina was represented, but the largest representation was from the Fast, where the negroes have been placed in every political office from Congressman to magis trate. T ho object of this great mass meeting, which was called by Hon. F. M. Simmons, chairman of the Democratic State executive com mittee, was to publish to the world a true and deliberate statement of the deplorable political conditions existing in Eastern North Carolina, and more especially to show to the people of all sections of the State the extent to which the negro has been pushed as a result of the Ke-publiean-l'opulist fusion. Kesolu- tions giving these facts and calling upon the people of all sections of the State to come to the rescue of the white men in the East were introduced by ex-Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis. A dozen of the most pro minent and foremost citizens of the Stato seconded the motion for the adoption of the resolutions, which we publish in another column. The enthusiasm manifested by the great convention, which was held in the open air, in front of the court house, can be well compared ti a great tidal wave. It swept everything before it. The speakers were constantly; inteuuntpd by cheering, and when the resolutions were adopted pandemonium broke loose. These ten thousand white men cheered themselves hoarse. They manifested a spirit of enthusi asm and determination which made it apparent to every one that the old North State will be f recti from negro domination next Tuesday. lion. "William A.

Conditions have be- over this great white man's conven tion, and in delivering his speech of acceptance he was accorded an i ovation. Ho pleaded, implored the ! white men of the State to unite in 1 ,. , , , . , , , . , solid phalanx; he pleaded with all! sincere Populists to follow him, und denounced the Republican and Populist fusionists who are leading the tight in this campaign. The sensation of the day was the appearance in the convention of Mr. AV. E. Fountain, of Edge combe county, who was until four months ago the chairman of the Populist State executive commit tee. He is now chairman of the Populist Congressional coaimitte in this district. The vast audience had no intimation that Fountain had united with the Democrats to re store white government until he took the floor. He declared that the white men of the State had to get together for their own preser vation, lie pledged his efforts to defeat his old associates, from whom he broke away that day. Chairman Simmons opened the convention with a speech. He des cribed the power the negroes had attained, asserting that there were more than a thousand negroes hold ing offices in the State. "I solemnly nssert that there is negro rule in North Carolina" said Mr. Sim mons. "It has come to pass that the Anglo-Saxon race or the negro has got to leave the State. I declare be fore Heaven that the white men will not leave. Negro rule must stop. The people have so resolved, with impulses above party. If we cannot adequately protect the white women from the insolence, lust und passion of the negro by other means, we will do so by our strong right arms. The white people must array themselves against this black phalanx of ignorance. While the white people are coming together the Republican and fusionist have gone to Washington and asked for Federal troops to conduct the elec tion. They have alleged that the Democrats are guilty of lawlessness and intimidation. They lie when they say so." Major Guthrie's speech was the most effective of the campaign. lie read the story of Nehemiah from a Bible which he held, and compared the destruction and rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem to fusion rule in North Carolina. While reading from the holy book. Major Guthrie said: kIf there are fusion ists here I don't want them to go awav and say I read Democratic lies." This caught the great con vention, and the speaker could not proceed for live minutes. Mr. Fountain, the other Populist con vert, indorsed everything said by Mr. Simmons. WHITE MEN'S RESOLUTIONS. An Earnest Protest Against gro Dom ination in Eastern North Carolina. l'n.mi:iiously adopted at Friday's Mass Meeting. Wo, a portion of the citizens of Eastern North Carolina, in mass meeting assembled, being mindful of the obligations we are assuming, and being desirous of informing our fellow citizens of the condition of alTairs in our section of the State, do publish to the world the following plain statement of facts : First. The population of this sec tion of our State is divided into two distinct races the Anglo-Saxon and the African. Second. That in some counties the whites exceed in numbers the blacks, and in others the blacks largely ex ceed the whites; but in all of them the negro is found in large numbers. Third. It is not claimed even by his white leaders that the negro is capable of administering a govern ment. On the contrary the man who is the present Republican Gov ernor of the State, has declared in the most emphatic language that he (the negro) is wholly unfitted for it. Fourth. That in many of the coun ties, cities, and towns of the east the local governments have been turned over wholly, or in part, to the nein'oes. Among these we men tion Bertie, Craven, Edgecombe, Halifax, New Hanover, Warren, Greenville, Newbern and Wilming ton. In these counties, cities and towns, negroes may be found hold ing the offices of register of deeds, deputy sheriffs, constables, justices of the peace, school committeemen, town commissioners, policemen, and the like. In several other counties many of these offices are filled by negroes, and many of the postoffices are filled by them. Fifth. That counting the offices of register of deeds, deput3' registers deputy sheriffs, constables, justices of the peace, school committeemen, town commissioners, policemen, post masters, collectors, store-keepers, gaugers and the like, there are now in office in counties and towns of Eastern North Carolina, nearly one thousand negroes; there being near ly throe hundred negro magistrates alone. Sixth. That as a consequence of turning these local offices over to the negroes, bad government has followed, homes have been invaded, and the sanctity of women endan gered. Business has been para lyzed, and property rendered less valuable. The majesty of the law has been disregarded and lawless ness encouraged. In manv locali- come so intolerable in these commu nities that they can be no longer tolerated or endured Sevnth- That lhis Z domina" 1 ? mai. .possibIe a"d lbo;e deplorable conditions were brought , ' , ,. . . . A, about through a division of the white men at the ballot box. Had the white men remained together, as they did for many years, those things could not have been. Eighth. That knowing these evils came about through a division of the white men, the White Man's Party has been zealously working for months to re-unite the white men at the ballot box, where these wrongs can be righted and these evils remedied. In view of these things it is re solved : 1. That the Republican leaders have a second time clearly demon strated their inability and their un fitness to govern North Carolina. That the time has come when those who have followed these lead ers should no longer do so, and that all men who love their State and their homes should unite in one su preme effort to redeem the State, and to place honest and capable white men in office, iu State, county, city and town. 3. That our appeal has been, is now, and shall continue to be, to the ballot box and to honest white men. We have contemplated no violence, but we are determined to use all proper means to free ourselves of this negro domination, which is par alyzing our business and which hangs like a dark cloud over our homes. 4. That we declare it is not our purpose to do the negro an- harm. It is better for him as well as for us that the white men shall govern. That while we propose to protect and encourage him in all his rights and duties of citizenship, we affirm that North Carolina shall not be ne groized. It is of all the States of the Union peculiarly the home of the Anglo-Saxon, and the Anglo-Saxon shall govern it. That we affirm that no such conditions exist in this State as jus tify Senator Pritchard in calling upon the President to send troops to this State, or in the Governor in is suing his brutal proclamation, and we hereby condemn in the most un measured terms the conduct of Sen How' Thin !

The hollow cheeks, the sun ken eyes, tliedark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it: if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at onee repeated, or if the urine lias a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright" s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Di Kilmer's SwamjvRoot, the great discover' of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at an drug store that no one need sillier any length of time for want of it.

Moore's Creek, of Alamance, Guil ford Court House and King's Moun tain, need the military power of the government which they helped to create and organize, to compel them to observe the law. The white men of this State, above all others, are interested in maintaining law and order, and for them to be charged by Senator Pritchard and Gov. Russell with having a purpose to become in surrectionary citizens is a vile slan der and we denounce them. They have been leaders in establishing uegro domination among us and they are therefore responsible for the con ditions now existing, and in appeal ing to the President to send troops into this State to aid them in main taining negro domination they have shown that they care less for the honor and reputation of their State than they do for their official posi tions. 6. That it is in the power of the Legislature to restore to the white men of the East the management and control of their local affairs. That if the Democratic party shall be placed in control of the Legisla ture this will be done; if the Republi can party is placed in control it will not be done. We, therefore, appeal to our white brethren in every sec tion of the State to go to the ballot box on the day of election and vote for the Democratic candidates for the Legislature. 7. That a learned and pure judi ciary is necessary to the preserva tion of the rights of the weak as well as the strong. The Democratic can didates for this high position are men learned in the law and of emi nent fitness for this great office. We, therefore, appeal to all men who de sire learned and pure men to sit upon the bench to work and to vote for Democratic candidates. 8. That the president and secretary of this meeting are hereby directed to cause this statement of facts and these resolutions to be published in all the papers of the State, and that the Democratic Executive Commit tee be requested to give them the widest possible circulation among the people.

Dr. Miles' System of Restorative Remedies consists of seven distinctively different preparations, each for its own purpose. Mrs. L. C. Rramley, 37 Ilenry St., St. Cath erines, Ontario, writes: "For years I suf fered from extreme nervousness and annoy ing constipation, developing into palpitation and weakness of the heart. I was unable to sleep, suffered much from headache, pain in my left side, palpitation and a constant feeling of weakness and prostration. I began using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills and the Anti-Pain Pills to relieve sudden paroxysms of pain and headache.

"Pay as you go," is not only a good rule of conduct from a business point of view, but is a good moral precept as well. It were impossible of course, and undesirable to transact all the great business affairs of life on a cash basis. The credit system is the mark as it is the creature of civiliza tion. In the great affairs of life we exchange credits and at a given time settle balances, and so transact busi ness up in the millions without pass ing but a few dollars in actual cash. Without our system of credits and bank clearance it would be almost impossible for the business world to get along in these days of gigantic deals. Xor is credit a bad thing for the individual, if he knew how to employ it advantageously. The merchant who has a small capital may under the credit system carry on a large business doubling and quadrupling his capital in the course of a year The man who has a stated income and buys property on the installment plan and pays off his debt from month to month is on the road to fortune. But the man who gets be hind in his living expense and who piles up debt from day to day and from month to month until he gets to the point where it is impossible for him to meet his obligations will lose his peace of mind, will in all probability lose his self-respect, and is in danger of losing his character, lie is almost sure to become a pessi mist for he sees the dark side only of human character and human life. "Business is business'' is a hard saying, for it sometimes means bru tality such as would put to blush the savage. In these days the creditor does not literally "take his debtor by the throat" and cast him into prison, as in o'.den times, until the uttermost farthing be paid, but many creditors are possessed of the same spirit, and woe betide the man who gets himself in the grasp of such a creditor! The debtor of refined feelings and of self-respect will in the beginning of his troubles resent the importunity and insolence of his unsatisfied credi tor, and he may have a few personal difficulties, but by and by he will see that sort of conduct does more harm than good, and he will take this cu'.T and take that from the sordid man who holds a claim aguir.st him until his refined sensibilities are blunted, until he lets creditors heap abuses upon him, until he loses his self-respect; until he comes to the conclu sion that all men are merciless to wards those who owe them, until mayhap he reasons with himself that he is justifiable in resorting to any desperate measures to relieve him self from the burden and degradation of debt. Such an experience, we say, tends not only to blunt the moral and re fined sensibilities, but to develop the latent meanness in man. In order to stave o:T his creditors he makes promises which he does r.ot fulfil, and fnally gets to be a liar in his own estimation as well as in the estima tion of others. He loses his own ?elf respect because he feels that others do not respect him, and when a man gets to that point, it is but a step to dishonesty. A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con sumption is a disease that invariably causes less cf flesh. If you are lisnt in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take of cod lever ell Koiih l.ypo phosphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul sion will hold every in ducement to you for c perfect cure. All Druggists, oc. and fx. Scott ft Kowvr. Ch?T3t;. N. Y.

Use of Paine's Celery Compound in Philadelphia The magnificent building at the corner of Eighteenth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, is a monument that tells what a great charity is the Women's Christian Association of the Quaker City. The superintendent of W. C. A. home is the accomplished woman whose portrait is printed here, j Miss Katherine Kennedy. What j she has done and what she is do I ing for the benefit of other women j commands the highest respect and ' udmiration. In all other institutions of this i kind more attention is given every j yeaV-to teaching the laws of health land right living, physically ai well as morally. The health of communi ties is more and more frequently a Eubject of attention from clergymen and teachers. An ailing, nervous man or woman finds it more dif.icult to be hopeful and cheerful and good than a well one. Writing to the Wells A Richardson Company, who are the proprietors of the most wonderful of all remedies for the cure of diseases that arise from the impairment of the nervous system, Paine's celery compound, Miss Kennedy, in the course of her letter, referring to the use of Paine's celery compound among the members of the W. C. A., !ays that "those who have been taking it feel greatly benefited, and desire to continue the use of it." So many women run down in health bv overwork, or what To Our Patrons Everywhere : Every department in our stores has had the most care ful attention in the selection of the different lines of goods.

Grateful testimonials of this character have been published time and again in these columns, and it is a fact that no other remedy has ever received a hundredth of the hearty blessings that the managers of public institutions have openly accorded to Paine's celery compound. The widespread use of Paine's eel ery compound, in the most intelli gent, careful homes, and among the most thoughtful portions of every community, has grown up by just this sort of personal guarantee, by word of mouth, from persons made strong and well to others needing exactly the kind of invigoration and toning up that Paine's celery compound gives. In time of great mental strain, when other remedies only meddle and muddle, Paine's celery compound feeds the hard-pressed nerves. Paine's celery compound purifies the blood of all bad humors, and cures the many ailments from this familiar cause. A vast proportion of all diseases are preventable. Paine's celery com pound is universally prescribed by medical men to stop the progress of disorders, due to poor blood and badly nourished nerves. H. WEIL & BROS.
