Tho Maine election as well as that of Arkansas demonstrates the rapid dissolution of the Populist party. In some States fusion is taking away the identity of the People's Party, and in other States the organization is simply going to piece? . In no btate is the party cninino' crrmnrl; in most of the s- o & j States it is rapidly going out of sight. The middlc-of.the readers may exist cn paper until 1900, but after that date the party will be unknown except among histor icul students. The party took definite form at the Omaha convention of 1S92, and it had in that year in the var ious States fuily a million adher ents, and, 1S94, its eote was still larger. In 1S96 fusion was the watchword, and no clear evidence of the party strength can be gath ered. Disintegration set in last year, however, and this year it has become epidemic. " here fus ion tickets are not agreed upon, voters practically refuse to far ther support a Third-party ticket, and the contest of 1900 is plainly to be between the two chief parties of the country, with no distracting side issues or splits. The People's Party has, how ever, been very useful in creating new issues. It put before the country the influence corporate wealth has over legislation; it ac customed the people to the consid eration of a graduated income tax, and it brought to the attention of the people the need and value of direct legislation, known as the referendum. All of these issues and perhaps others, will survive the death of the party that brought them out, and years hence they TV ii I be fought out at the ballot Luxes, and some of them at least promise to become valuable fea tures of American policy. The pass" ing of the Populist party does not, therefore, mean that wheat they strove for is lost, lacy nave exer cised a powerful influence over po litical thought, and it will be found that everything practical and val uable in their platforms will sur five, and become beneficial law, too. Great Improvement Reports a Welcome Change in Her Condition - Statement by a North Carolina Woman. "Nearly all my life I have had one cold after another and the trouble seemed lik catarrh in the head. There were dis charges from my ears, and my hearing became affected. I took a number of kinds of medicine but I grew -worse in stead of better. One day I procured a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and began takipjj it, and soon found it was doing me good. I gained strength and was greatly benefited in many ways. I con tinued its use and now the bad feeling iij my head is gone, and the earache wttfc Which I suffered has disappeared. I ara now able to do my housework without help. I shall keep Hood's Sarsaparilla in the house as Ions as I live." Mbs. T. G.

WALTER LETTER good A LIE OUT OF THE WHOLE CLOTH. Wilmington Messenger. An editor should indeed have many Fabers and be indeed a "ready writter" who should un dertake to keep up with the lies of the black Radicals and their helps among the lingering Popu lists and give them fitting expos ure. The silliest of. all the false hoods'" star ted up-to-date is the one that Democrats will-disfranchise niggers and white poor folks if they get into power. As to negroes, we wish the constitution of the United States were changed and negroes were disfranchised, as ninety-five per cent richly deserve to be. As to North Carolina Democrats disfranchising any one if they secure the legislature it is all a lie out of the whole cloth They had control for fifteen or twenty years of the legislature and did not abridge them in their rights, but fostered their .inter ests. laid beavv. burdens on the whites to educate negro children, sent negroes to asylums, etc and showed a magnanimous, friendly, most marvelous spirit of Kindness, sympathy and good will. The only possible way in North Carolina to ever abridge the rights of negroes or any one is by a change in trie organic law the ' constitution of the state. Whenever this is done it must be by a popular vote. You can not call a convention to change-the constitution in any particular except by an act of the legislature to have a vote of all the electors as to whether thev desire it to be called or not. So do not lie';d the liars. They know they are lying. After a convention is called by a popular vote, then the convention's work must ba ratified by the people at a second election. So there can not be possibly any snap judgment .taken or any wrong wrought io darkness. It must 'all be open, fair, square. Stop lying, A Condensed Chronicling of a Week's Happenings. Mrs. Amanda Mitchell is vis iting her daughter, Mrs, Bras well, in Johnston county. There is more sickness in our community than there has been in sometime, but none of a ser ious nature. Messrs. Jack Sasser and Phil Crawford spent Saturday and Sun day near Kinston, "prospecting," returning Monday. Misses Estelle Perry, from Princeton, and Mary Thompson, were visiting Mrs. R. L. Hooks one day last week. Rev. Mr. McFarland filled hi regular appointment at Pine For est Sunday evening, and preached an excellent sermon. Mr. Dally Hines and Miss Fan nie Jones spent Saturday night at Mr. Bud Lynch's, on their way to the Association. Mr. James Northam, from Wilmington, is spending a few days with his aunt, Mrs. Ophelia Crawford, on his way to Littleton, to enter school. Mr. Carl Wooten and family have moved to Raleigh, where Mr. Wooten has a position with Mes srs. Rovall & Borden in their large furniture store. There was preaching at Chapel, near here, to-day by some of the good brethren on their return from the association. A. crowd was present. Miss Sallia Woodard. from your city, came out Saturday morning and spent Saturday night with friends near Prince ton, on her way to old Union. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McGee and the boy were visiting in our community Sunday evening, where they have a host of friends who are always glad to see them. There will be speaking at Ebenezer Friday night by oa neighbor Mr. A. L. Sw'nson. We hope every man in Fork township will go to hear him Ladies are also inyited. Cotton bands are a scarce article with us and a good many farmers are bringing them from town, and CO taking them back every We fail to see much money in cot ton at the present price, hauling hands and paying 40 cis. per hun dred for picking. Well, we stopped off for a short while and went to the 'Sociation, notwithstanding the fact tha? for the past week we bad not had- time to "cuss a cat, and were getting to be almost a stranger to tha swtet influence of Mors pbeus. We found ''ray son John and his folks," there, and every body else and their folks, too. .In fact, we have never seen suci'a crowd, it was estimated at three thousand, and if we were to judge by the number of yehicles, which were almost like sardines in a box all over the ground and down the roads for quite a diss, tance, we do not think the esti mate too much. There was lots of good preaching, a considerable amount of social pleasure, and some courting, and altogether was a most pleasant occasion. We have a high regard for our Baptist brethren, and consider them without a superior p.s all round citizens, especially do we admire their untiring devotion to the cause they espouse and the earnestness with which they at tend upon the ordinances of their church.

B-iiif a c iS ler i the Journal ohv.-e Mr Pate !eft ihs "oliowing l&temeot for publ catico: To tin people of North Caroi Una: Two years ago I vas pers suaded to leava tl e D miocratic pTty, in tha hope of f inhering certain reforms which 1 '.vas led to believe could be secured through the agency of jbe Pop ulist party and through that par ty aloDe. But sine tht eventful election of 1896, I l ave had my eyes opened to tha corruption of ihe Populist leade s, :nl have witnessed the uno lly subservion of principle to grotd. I have seen that the Populist uachine aids, abets, and siand pledged to fasten negroism even more firmly upon th9 people of the Old North State than that which at present curses our people. ''Fellow citizjns, I am a white man, ana x believe mat tnis country and this S1 ate should be controlled by white men, and by white mea alone. I am for white supremacy first, last and all the time. I cannot stand with a party which stands for negroism and every species of wrong and mU govtrnment. In Craven county I see the negroes are completely in control of the Republican par ty and yet the Populists are moving Heaven and earth to ar range fusion with such a crowd. I cannot, will not, support any such unholy movement and when election day rolls around, I will bu found voting the Democratic ticket, and get all the others I can. which is the onlj ticket for a white man to vote.

At thetimeof my selection it was known to the Chairman of the Populist Party that i was not a Populist, but a Democrat, but in these times I am unwilling for any man to suppose that I expect to vote ether than the Democratic ticket this year, and 1 therefore deem it due to myself and to my friends to say that I am. not a Populiet but a Democrat, and shall sups port the Democratic ticket in the coming election. I was once a Populist, but under the conditions existing in North Carolina to-day, and since that party has fused with the Republicans and is aiding in the permanent establishment of ne gro rule in the State I ara corns polled to cast my lot with the Democracy, and adyise all men who love their country to do likewise.
