Kuu Down and Ran in by Omnipresent Ubiquitous, Local "GrandjJKonnds." Our venerable friend, Mr. Wil liana A. Faison, of Sampson, though u years of age, was an enthusiastic visitor at the great gathering of white men yester day. The old men cave uot for gotten the days of 1868 and 1869 When the Band plajed "Dixie" the crowd went wild. Songs are written, oecome popular lor a time,, then fade away, but the blessed old soDg Dixie is ever new and, will last as long as there are Southern hearts which loye this Southland of ours. "What is the matter with Edge combe county? She is all right. The men of Edgecombe were at Goldsboro in great shape at the big meeting yesterday. The white men of the old county are deter mined to put an end to negro domination. Mr. Walter Fuller, of Smith field, and Miss Peacock, of John ston, were married Thursday in " Raleigh. The Akgus is very sin cere in wishing them the fullest measure of happiness, prosperity and length of days. A dispute between two negroes "hrtattle Washington ended very seriously for Wm. Hood, who was struck on the head with a brick by John Peel and is now unconscious and it is thought will die. The dispute arose over a trivial matter and Peel struck Hood on the head without warning and broke his skull. Pel came up close enough after he had done the deed to see Hood lying on the ground bieed " ing freely and then disappeared in the darkness and has not been seen since. Little OIlie Dockery, who is running for Solicitor on the fusion ticket against the present efficient and impartial Democratic incum bent, Hon. E. W. Pou, made a speech in the Opera House, here Wednesday night. His speech had been heralded throughout the whole city all day by a big float carried by a colored boy, and yet out of a city of 7,000 inhabitants when he walked out on the rostrum to greet his crowd he had, by actual, hon est count 14 negroes and 5 white men. The number of negroes did not increase, arCr1 but for the com ing in of some 25 or 30 Demo crats, who stood " quietly in the back wing of the hall, OIlie would have quit before he begun. He did hot attempt totnake a 6peecb. He was the most hacked man wo have ever seen, and ia his few and brief remarks be stated that it was the last speech he would make in Goldsboro. We did not know be fore that Oilie is a prophet, but he evidently has already interpreted the handwriting on the wall. Goodbye, OIlie. Don't Like the Pie Hunting t ". Gang, Raleigh Post. Smithfield, N . C, Oct. 25. Dr. G. J. Robinson, a prominent physician of this place, and broth er of Judge Robinson, of the Su perior court, to-day authorized the following statement: "I am and always have been a Republican, but I cannot support the pie hunting gang who are as pirants for office in North Caro lina. There seems to be but one issue. The negro has drawn the color line, and so long as such a state of affairs exists, I. shall sup port the Democratic party, and earnestly wish all truo Republi cans may do the same. "Geo. J, Robinson," Thousands of the Invincible Hosts of the Grand Old Party From the Mountains to the Sea, Were Here Friday, Touching Elbows and Gathering Strength For the Fray. .... Kloquent Speeches and Rin j inQ Resolutions. The YiGtorg Is Ours just as tne sun burst forth in his beauty and splendor Friday morning, tne Dooming or cannon thrilled the hearts of our people as the salute of thirteen guns by tne uoidsboro Kmes ushered in the greatest day Goldsboro has ever seen. For ten days previous, the white people had been looking forward with joyous anticipations to this, the 28th day of October, the day set apart by the Democratic party the white man's party, for a great gathering of the people of Anglo-Saxon blood at Goldsboro, the county seat of the good old ceunty of Wayne. Early in the morning the con quering hosts began coming into the citv to mingle with their brethren, and listen to the speeches of the leaders of the great Demo cratic party in North Carolina, the party that stands for good )vernmeut and white rule in the Old North State. In the great throng were white people of all classes and condi tions for the Democratic party is the party of the people the great, independent, liberty-loving white people of North Caro lina. Orderly, quiet, but on their faces there was that calm look of determination which spoke in tones as clear as did the monu mental Declaration of Indepen dence the white men are going to rule North Carolina. From all over Eastern Caro lina they came these noble mtn as their chairman do here and now most folenly assert that there must be an end to negro domination in Eastern North Carolina, and be fore God there will be on the 8th day of November. This is not question of opinion but it is a fact. I have, therefore, assembled this convention of white people of the E;ist, that they may set forth in such form as they eee fit the con dtions as to negro rule prevailing in our midst, under and backed up by fusion, so that their brethren in the Western part of the State may determine with unerring truth, even with the certainty that guides a jury in passing upon fact, how it all is with us down here, and iise with us in our united might and make the continuance of this state of affairs absolutely and forever impossible." Mr. bimmoDS stated that it is not the purpose or the thought of the white Democracy of the State to disfranchise the negro, buf, on the contrary, to treat him kindly, fairly and give him ev ery advantage of good governs meat and eyelopment; but, that white men the Anglo-Saxon race shall make and adminis ter the laws in North Carolina. It is impossible for us in this necessarily hurried report to do justice, or even outline, the great speech of this peerless and in vincible Democratic leader. In concluding Mr. Simmons counseled patunce, forbearance, but unterrified and unyielding determination; and then in high ly comphmentaiy words mtro- of Anglo-Saxon blood, and with duced the gentemail whom he them they brought glad tidings and reassured the assurance of the returning of the Democratic party to power in the State, and the coming again of peace and prosperity within her borders. After all the special trains had arrived, bringing in their vast throngs of enthusiastic Demo crats, whose arrivals were wel comed by thrilling music from the several bands, in turn, the great crowd was marshalled into a procession by Mr. Geo. A-Norwood, Jr., chief Marshal, and the managing committees, and headed by the Second Regi ment band, the Wilson band, and the Newbern band, proceeded to the Court House square, where the grpat convention was called to order by Hon. F. M . Simmons, State Chairman, who in a mas terly speech set forth the object and purpose for which . he had called this convention; portray ing as he went along, in vivid language, the fearful conditions that prevail in eastern North Carolina under the present fusion regime, and the appalling men ace that confronts us and that must be met and averted by the united white people at the ballot box on November 8. He recount ed in detail, and with masterful marshalling of facts, the number of negroes holding office in all this section, aggregating nearly one thousand negro officials in the State, and in scathing terms denounced the recent action of Governor .Russell and Senator Pritchard, in tbeir attempt to prevail upon McKinley to send federal troops into this State on election day to keep white men down in order that North Caro lina may bo yec further negroized and that they may continue to perpetrate their rascality through out the fetate."But," said Mr,Sim mons, "the white people of North Carolina have determined, and I had requested to preside over the deliberations of the convention, Mej W. A. Guthrie, of Durham Maj. Gutherie arose amid great applause and his first act was to command silence and in reverent tones and manner stated that this vast concourse of the intel ligent and virtuous manhood of the State should open its delibera tion with prayer, and turning to Rey. N. M. Jurney, he invited him to offer the prayer. Mr. Jurney responded to the request in the following exquis itely appropriate words: PRAYER. "Oh, God, we desire to commit our selves to Thee and to Thy keeping this day. Guide us by Thy Spirit, sustain us by grace, that we may think and act in obedience to Thy will: Look down upon this vast assemblage of people who are here in the interest of peace and good government towards all men, -who wish and pray for the right to prevad among men: Oh, let rage of passion and hatred among our people cease: open the eye that we may see: give courage to the heart that we may do our duty to our country, our fellowmen, and our God. Let us feel this day the vibrations of our com ing redemption from all wicked rule, and the supremacy of that race des tined not only to rule this country but to carry the Gospel to all nations, and maintain Civil and Religious Liberty throughout the world. Oh, Lord God, our Father, forgive our sins, and may the dove come from the sad ark of hope and bring the olive branch of peace to the whole State, that there may be no riot or bloodshed We com mit ourselves to Thee. Guide us and save for Christ's sake. Amen." Maj. Gutherie then thanked Mr. Simmons and the vast as semblage . for the ' distinguished honor conferred upon him in callinghim to preside over the deliberations of the convention, and in a speech never equaled in its arraignment of the conditions that prevail in our State, he reviewed, the whole sweep of political parties and' manoeuvres in this Stat 9 in recent years,' in cluding his own political affilias A man must reap as he sows. If he sows ill-health he will reap ill-health. If he neglects his health the weeds of disease will grow up and choke it. It is a daily and hourly marvel that men will recklessl-y nesrlect their health, when a moment's thought should tell them that triey are courting- death. It lies in most every man's power to live to a green old age. If a man would only take the same care of himself that he does of his horse, or cow, or dog, ne would enjoy good health. When a man owns a hundred-dollar horse,, and it gets sick, he does not waste any time about doctoring him up. When his garden gets full of weeds, he doesn't delay about rooting them out, for he knows they will choke out his vegetables. When he is out of sorts, sick, .nervous, headachey, has no appetite . and is restless and sleepless at Sight, he pays little attention to it. The result is consumption, nervous prostration or some serious blood or skin disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all medicines for hard working men. It gives edge to the appetite, facilitates the uuw ui ui)$c9iivc juiues, invigorates inc uver ana pannes ana enncnes tne blood. It is the great blood-maker and flesh- builder. It cures oS per cent, of all cases of lingering coughs, bronchial and throat affections, weak lungs, bleeding from luna and kindred affections. Do not wait until the lungs are too tar wasted to admit of beincr cured. " As you know, five years ago the doctors had given me uo to die with consumption," writes Mr. E- O. McKinney, of Deepwater, Fayette Co., W. Va. "I took treatment from Dr. R. V. Pierce, and am entirely well now. I had taken steadily, as directed, his 'Golden Medical Dis covery.'

One little "Pellet" is a dose. tions with other than the Demos cratic party, and showing concln sively that the only hope for the peace, prosperity, progress and happiness of the State is the triumph of the White Man's party in the coming election. He read copiously from the Bible from the books of Nehemiah applying forcefully and with pointed application and comment the conditions therein depicted and the ends resorted to, therein chron icled and justified, to the present experiences and determination of the White People of our State. And pausing with rhetoric effect in the midst of his readings, and poising tne oiy xsook nign m air he said; "Let no fusion fol- ower, if there be any such in my audience, go hence and say that I am reading to these people Democratic lies.' I know the usion crowd are not familiar with the precepts of this Book of books; but the great Anglo-Saxon race with this book in one hand and the sword in the other have conquered the world, and they say to all: submit to the teachings of this Book and we will live to gether in peace; but if you at tempt to override them we will sweep you from the face of the earth. The . convention was perma nently organized by the election of Maj. W. A. Guthrie, chairman, and Mr. J. W. Grainger, of Kins eon, as Secretary, and the mem bers of the Democratic press as his assistants. Hon. T. J, Jarvis then, with an earnest and eloquent prelude, introduced the following resolutions: 'We, a portion of the citizens of Eastern North Carolina, in Mass Meeting aasembled,being mindful of the obligation we are assuming and being desirous of informing our fel- ow citizens of the . conditions of af fairs in our section of the State, do publish to the world the following plain statement of facts. ".First. The population of this section of our State is divided into two distinct races the Anglo-Saxon and .the African. 'Second. That in some counties the whites exceed the blacks and in others the blacks largely exceed 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 Governor of the State has declared in the most emphatic language that he is wholly unfitted for it. . "Fourth. That in many of the coun ties, cities, and towns of the East the ocal governments have been turned over wholly, or in part, to the ne groes. Among these we mention Bertie, Craven, Edgecomb, Halifax, New Hanover, Warren, Greenville, Newbern and Wilmington. In these counties, cities and towns, negroes may be iound Holding the offices of Register of Deeds, Deputy Sheriffs, Constables, Justices of ..the Peace, School Committeemen, Town Com missioners, Policemen, and the like. In several other counties many of these offices are filled by negroes and many of the Post Offices are. filled by them. '.Fifth. - That counting the offices of Register of Deeds, Deputy Registers, Deputy Sheriffs, Con stables, Justices of the Peace. School Committeemen - Town Commissioners, Post Masters, Collectors, Store Keepers, Gaugers, and the like there are now in office in Counties, and towns in Eastern North Carolina nearly one thousand negroes, there being nearly three hundred negro magistrates alone. "Sixth. That as a consequence of turning these local offices over to the negroes, bad government has follow ed, homes have been invaded, and the sanctity of woman endangered. Business has been paralyzed, and property rendered less valuable. The majesty of law has been disregarded and lawlessness encouraged. In many localities men no longer rely upon the officers of the law for pro tection, for they are known to be in competent or corrupt. Conditions have become so intolerable in these communities that they can be no longer tolerated or endured. "Seventh. That this negro domi nation was made possible and these deplorable conditions were brought about through a division of the white men at tne ballot box. Mad the white men remained together as they did ior many years tnese things could not have been. "Eighth. That knowing these evils came about through a division of the wmte men, the Y hite Man's Partv has been zealously working for months to re-unite the white men at the ballot-box, where these wroners can be righted and these evils reme dies. "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. "2. 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, capable, white men in office in State, countjr, city and town. "3. That our appeal has been, is now and shall continue to be, 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 any harm . It is better for him as well as for us that the white man shall govern. That while we propose to protect and encourage him in all hi 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. "5. 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 issuing his brutal proclamation, and we hereby condemn in the most un measured terms the conduct of Sen ator Pritchard and Governor Bus - sell in attempting to make it appear to the outside world that the de - scendents of the men of Mecklen burg, Halifax, Albemarle, the Cape Fear, of Alamance, Guilford Court House and King's Mountain need the military power of the Govern ment which they helped to create and organize to compel them to ob serve the law. The White Men of this State, above all others, are in terested in maintaining law and order, and for them to be charged by Senator Pritchard and trovernor Russell with having a purpose to be come insurrectionary citizens is a vile slander and we denounce them. They have been leaders in establish ing negro domination among us and they are therefore responsible for the conditions now existing, and in appealing to the President to send troops into this State to aid them in maintaining negro domination they have shown they care less for the honor and reputation of their State than they do for their official positions. "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 Legislature this will be done. If the Republican Party is placed in control it will not be done. We, therefore, appeal to our white brethern in every section of the State to go to the ballot box on the day of election and vote for the Democratic candidates for the Leg islature. "7. That a learned and pure judici ary is necessary to the preservation of the rights of the weak as well as the strong. The Democratic candi dates for this high position are men earned m the law and of eminent fitness for this great office. We, therefore, appeal to all men who desire learned and pure men to sit upon the bench, to work and to vote or Democratic candidates. "8. That the President and Secre tary of this meeting are hereby di rected to cause this statement of facta and these resolutions to be published in all the papers of the State and that the Democratic Exec utive Committee be requested to give them the FjdeBt possible cir culation among the people. These resolutions were elo quently seconded by Mr. Walter H. NeaL of Rockingham. Mr, W, E. Fountain, of Tarboro, the res turning Populist chairman of the Second Congressional district, who, in thoughts that breathed and words that burned, pledged himself henceforth to the white man's ticket; Don C. Gilliams, and E. W. Pou; after which the resolutions were adopted by the unanimous vote of the greatest gathering of. Democracy Golds boro or Eastern North Carolina has ever seen. Yes, Friday was a great day in Goldsboro and among Demo crats from all sections of the State and of all conditions and avocations. especial trains from c-ast, west north and south brought hosts o enthusiastic Democrats, bands of music, and floating banners. The streets of beautiful G jldiboro re sounded to the tread t f j any hou sands of as brave and as true mac as ever pressed their feet on the soiluf this great country, and with hearts on fire with patriotism marenca iorward in tne per formauce of a duty which, ihey owe to themselves, their post3r ity and their Gcd. After listening to the thrilling speeches of toe convention proper, reported in yesterday 1 a . . aiiernoons akgus, tna great throng was divided, some going to the Messenger Opera House and ruling it to overrnwinj: to hear the brilliant, impetuous and unterrified WaddelK who electrified his vast audience and kindled them to enthusiasm that nothing less than complete Dem ocratic victory at the polls will satisfy. And not only Col. Waddell, but New Honover countv was at the big meeting. -Wilmington wilt no longer submit to negro rule. The people of North Carolina feel like pulling of their hats to the brave men of the city by the Cape Fear, who proclaim and proclaim on the house top that negro rule is going to stop at Wiminton and New Hanover county. At the Farmers' Warehouse thousasds listened to that great and peerless Democrat, Hon. Cyrus B. Watson, who two years ago led the Democratic hosts as our candidate for Governor. He spoke with his old-time power and eloquence and gave to the listening multitude an earnest message from the West that they are as much aroused for the sal vation of our grand old Slate to-Anglo-Saxon rule, civilizition and progress as we are of the cast. Mr. Watson was followed by Hon. E. W. Pou in one of bis characteristically- strong and convincing speeches. Then briefly, but transcendent- ally matchless, amid enthusiasm that the very sight of him arous ed to hurricane proportions, our own distinguished, townsman Charles B. Aycock, spoke in thrilling utterances on the issues of the hour that touched the spot m every Heart as they nad not been touched before. He is the idol of the whole people of our State, and wherever he goes with in her borders he creates the same spontaneous and cordial tribute of his people's love and admira tion. He is the second Vance of North Carolina. And another gratifying feature of the great and crowded celebra tion was the entire absence of anything like boisterous demon stration and ill feeling. Absolute harmony tempered the unparallel ed enthusiasm, and in the surg ing throng of thousands, moving back and forth upon our streets throughout the day, the 1 police did not find it necessary to make a single arrest or so much as restrain a single individual. In conclusion the Abgus would say: Take the great resolutions- he Declaration of Independence of the white manhood of North Car olina passed yesterday and file them away among the most val ued papers to be transmitted to your children.; $100 Reward $100. The reader of this papers will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease . that science has been able to cure in all it stages and that is Catarrh. Hall s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease re quires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken intei naJly, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby , destroying . the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient stiength by tMilding up the consti tution and assisting nature in doing its work.

When 'eight thousand white men assemble themselves to gether to consider political con ditions, it has a meaning. It means that the one supreme thought in the hearts and minds of all true white North Carolin ians to-day is, "How can we save our civilization and our Homes." One could look at the earnest, eager crowd and see that it was no holiday affair. One could feel in the very atmosphere the elec tric thrill of courage, heroism and a united people. They have borne it with patience, but they will bear it no longer; ' "The An glo-Saxon must and shall rule this State" was wrote in the uptured faces of thousands of all parties. There was inspiration in the burning words of true men, in the warm hand-grasp of old comrades who have faced a com mon danger upon the red hills of Virginia, and in the elbow touch of a re-united, unconquered and unconquerable yeomanry. Who could listen to the soul- stirring address of W. A. Guthrie, the presiding officer,or who could see Mr. W. E. Fountain acting in hearty accord with the white man's party and not feel victory m the air? And how significant it all isl How far-reaching such an event is and must be in our political history! . What Populist can go astray in following the leadership of these two men the one who is to-day a private citizen and not our Gov ernor because he woukTnot sell out his principles, and the other, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Populist party, un til it sold out to Harry Skinner, J. C. Pritchard and 120,000 ne groes. The doors of the old Demo cratic party are thrown wide open. All white men are bidden to enter. The watch- fires are lit on a thousand hills. The good work goes on. JNotning less than 20, 000 majority will answer the aroused manhood of our State. The day, the occasion, the vast multitude were well . met. All hail this auspicious augury of un ion of all white brothers! Suffered 20 Years. Raleigh Post. Guthrie, Simmons, Jarvis, Waddell, Ed. Pou, Charlie Ay- cock, Don Gilliam, Fountain, Walter Neal, Cy. Watson! Ten thousand white Freemen of Eastern North Carolina! The ord of Hosts will surely look with approval upon such an as semblage met in such a cause, under such leadership. It was an army of Righteousness, assem bled in defense of Christian civ ilization. With malice toward no black man but charity for all and with a determination for the right equal to its charity, tri umphant victory will be followed by the blessings of real peace and contentment. "It is not our purpose to do the negro any harm," say these honest North Carolinians. They contemplate no inhumanity or oppression; but ''it is better for him as well as for us that the white man shall govern," and Heaven knows this has been amply demonstrated. Let every white citizen read carefully these resolutions. We cannot have any doubt as to the result. For the power and safety of all parties, races and interests, white men must andiwill rule North Carolina. . Wilmington Star.

Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a number of sinking spells and slowly grew worse. I began using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first the medicine seemed to have no effect, but after taking a few bottles I began to notice a change; I rested better at night, my appe tite began to improve and I rapidly grew better, until now I am as nearly restored to health as one of my age may expect.

But it was not strictly a Demo cratic meeting; for it was com posed not only of members of that party, but of Populists and Republicans who are sick of the infamy and disgrace that has been brought upon their State by the party of negro traders who have held high carnival within her borders during the pastjtotir years. " . AND STILL ANOTHER. - October 27, 1898, Editor Argus: Having been in the past connected with the Populist party, in the belief that its doctrines if put in practice would benefit our people, and having decided, after mature de liberation, that the fusion of this party with the Republicans not only fails to work good to our people, but has become ruinous to all the best interests of the State. I deem it my duty to de clare this change of my political sentiments and to pledge my best efforts to the advancement of Democratic principles Very respectfully, 1 Richard A, Parker. ' Mr. Richard Parker is a broth- ea of Messrs. Georgp, Zeke and William Parker, whose stirring speeches returning to the Demo cratic party, made at Woodland Tuesday night, we have already , noted. Their return is hailed with pleasure by the conquering hosts of Democracy. Ed Argus. Governor's Proclamation. The Governor of North Caro-s. lina has issued a proclamation. and his private secretary, the Reverend Major Cade, has put his o. k. upon it. It is preceded by a wealth of whereases, and in its final analysis it is instruction to the white people of the east to lie down. We feel ' justified s in saying that they are not going to do it. They have borne them selves with wonderful prudence and forbearance, and executive proclamations nor anything else is likely to swerve 7 them from the assertion of their rights. This bluff will not go. The white people' are determined to carry North Carolina this year and Russell need not think that he can scare them out of this resolution.
