several deaths in. that city were
passed:
'That the white men expect to

That the "ret wiring Populists"

rn olden
limes a leper
was stoned
out of town ;
in modern
times a sick
man is stoned
out of all his
cnances in
life by the
crowd of
busy,
hustling: men wno
have no place and no
use tor him. A man
who has bilious turns
and tired feeling-s and
frequent " off - days "
light as well go out
business.
These thing-s
are bad enough
in the self-disgust
and wretchedness
they involve if
they do not go
any further. But
you never know
what is going to
develop in a half-
hourished, bile-poisoned constitution. If
a man as soon as he feels that he is not get
ting the forceful strength and energy out
of his food that he ought to, will begin tak
ing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
he will soon put himself in the position
where he can do a man's work easily and
cheerfully.
His appetite will be sharpened ; his liver
invigorated; his digestion strengthened; an
edge put on his whole nutritive organism.
Those subtle poisons which debilitate the
entire organism and invite consumption
and a host of other diseases, will be driven
out of the system; and he will gain plenty
of pure nourishing red blood, muscle
power and nerve-force. In short he will
be a man among men.
There are hundred of delusive temporary
stimulants, 41 malt extracts," sarsaparillas ana
compounds, which are more or less " boomed "
by merely profit-seeking druggists; but an hon
est druergist will give you the " Golden Medical
Discovery" when you ask for it. If well-informed,
he knows that its sales have steadily
increased for thirty years and that it is the in
vention of an educated, authorized physician
who has devoted a life-time of active practice
and profound study to chronic diseases.

The people of W ilmington did
well yesterday -when they saw
Geo. Z. French on a train and
exacted a promise from him never
to return. The t eopl(j of North

put Marion Butler :'n a tra;n'and
secure his c promise ; that he will
never show his face in the St.te
again. Nobody did , u much as h

paign, to inflame Ihe negroes, ben-1
ator Pritchard's advice to them
was good. John ,C Dancy, col-

County vote for Tax Collectors and Commissioners, as the party vote was the same on tthese, and to itemize each candidate's vote would
stretch our table beyond convenient proportions.
Mr. W. E. Fountain, independent Populist-Democrat, who only announced his candidacy for Congress the day before the election and
whose name was not printed on any ticket, and had to be written, received in this County 2,432, while Geo. H. White, the negro, and present
incumbent, received 2,102, giving Mr. Fountain a majority of 330; and if his candidacy.had been known more fully in the outlying precincts'
his vote would have been even larger.
tizens, takes this method of assur..
ing the good people of this city
that all the power with which he
is invested will be exerted to pre-,
serve order and peace in this
cemmunity, and that ower is
amply sufficient for the purpose.
All well disposed persons are
earnestly requested to co-operate
with the municipal authorities in
every way possible to secure the
permanent establishment of good

rigidly enforced and impartially
administered to white and black
people alike.

ARRIVAL OF STATE GUARDS.
Acting under oiders from the
Governor, the following com
panies arrived last night and this
morning: Maxton Guards from
Maxton, N. C; Sampson Light
Infantry, Clinton, in charge of
Capt. Hines, and the Kinston
Naval Reserves in charge of
Lieutenant W. D. Pollock. The
latter company arrived at 3
o'clock this morning and brought
one of the Colt's rapid-fire guns
ike the one now in the armory
of the Wilmington Light Infan
try. These companies were
stationed on guard at different
times last night in various parts
of the city.
FAYETTE VILLE TO THE RESCUE
Eightyi-six white citizens from
Fayetteville, under the command
of Maj, A. A. McKethan and ex
Sheriff J. D. Smith, arrived by
special train on the C. F. & Y.
V. railroad yesterday afternoon
a few minutes after 3 o'clock
They were met by representas
tive citizens at the depot and af
ter forming line marched to the
Or ton, where dinner was served
and the men placed under strict
orders not to leave the house
without permission from the offi
cers in charge. These men. who
are composed of the bravest of
Cumberland's sturdy sons, were
on guard duty in different por
tions of the city last night and
all Wilmington can but faintly
express their appreciation of the
valiant service rendered by them
in that capacity.
WERE GIVEN A SAFE ESCORT
Several negroes employed at
the North Carolina Cotton Oil
Mill, which is near Hilton Park,
expressed their fear to . return
home after work hours yesterday
afternoon and said they would
remain at the mill during the
night rather than return to their
several homes in the city. Mr.
Mason, general manager of the
mill, notified our new Chief of
Police, E. G. Parmele, and he
sent a special squad of officers
to guarantee them a safe escort
to their several homes and places
of lodging. This incident speaks
in highest terms of Wilmington's
new city government and the
action of Chief Parmele will meet
with universal approval.
Wilmington to-day, and the tenor
of Mayor WaddelPs proclama
tion and the action of Chief of
Poliee Parmele show to the
State and to the world that there
is no desire on the part of the
white people of Wilmington for
blood; but that they are brave
and patriotic men, determined to
maintain their rights, while at
the same time guaranteeing the
same to others be the others
white or black, under the law.
As stated in Thursday's report
bj telegram, and reaffirmed by
the Wilmington papers next
morning, there was no purpose
on the part of the white people
of that city to do other than rid
their town of the odium of the
negro paper, the Record, and its
editor, that had so viciously
slandered the white womanhood
of the State. That paper was
given the option of moving out
of the town, and this option be
ing ignored the establishment
was destroyed, orderly and quiet
ly. Within a few hours many
colored people banded together,
armed, and opened fire on de
fenseless white men in the
streets, and then the trouble
began that resulted in the death of
12 negroes, the wounding of sev
eral white men, and the turning of
the city over to the white people,
by the resignation of the Republi
can Mayor, Board of Aldermen
and Chief of Police, and the elec
tion of a new Board of Democrat
tic Aldermen, Col. Waddell, May
or, and E. G. Parmele, Chief of
Police.
This assures the maintenance of
peace, the safety of all, and no fu
ture disturbances of a riotous na
ture in Wilmington. Ed Aegus.
The above is' the situation in

What Now of Goldsboro?

Wilmington Messenger.
For the first time in forty-one
years, since the writer began to
edit a newspaper, was he unable
to go to the office for duty when
not sick. On Thursday he made
three starts, and yet failed to get
to his desk. His faithful com
mander, Captain James Steven
son, ordered him to arms. So parts
of three nights and most of
Thursday he was carrying his
sixteen shooter trying to help to
keep the peace. Prolonged duty
of this sort is something fatigu
ing to old legs and back, but it is
duty, and has its own reward.
Since then changes have been
wrought already in this city that
are tokens of good that presage
the reign of law once more, and
is a harbinger of the coming of
peace again when the poor man
and the rich man may sit at their
own hearthstones in quiet and
content, without fear of molesta
tion, and seek in serenity of
mind tired nature's sweet re
storer, gentle sleep." The man or
men who shall hereafter mar this
good order restored, or . dare to
excite the rage of slumbering pas
sions by threats or acts . of des
truction in the silent hours of the
night is not only a "dastardly
wretch and an accursed villian,
but" it were better for him if he
had never been born.
The election is over. The vic
tory is wod. Democracy is tri
umphant. But the fruits of victory are
uot alone in the offices won, nor
in the quiet ealisfaction of good
government honestly and economi
cally administered, nor in the reali
zation of safety at home and im
munity from danger wherever W3
may go however precious all
these are to to us who haye known
the spectre of dread and the pesti
lence of corrupt government un
der odious Rep-Pop-fusion-negro
regime in North Carolina.
These precious and priceless
privileges that Democracy's tri
umph brings to us are but the
heavenly dew and glorious sun
light that nurture and ripen op
portunities for our pluck:ng to
golden advantage in the invit
ing avenues of enterprise that
are opened up and occasions for
development that are afforded us
UDder tho benign confidence the
world has iu the integrity of Dem
ocratic rule.
What of Goldsboro? Let us get
together. Nature has done much
for Goldsboro, and Dbmocracy
has filled in what was lacking to
make our city and section most
invitiDg for the investment of
capital and the exercise of enter
prise. We have a peerless climate
and a tractable and prolific soil;
we have railroads in every di
rection: we have electric lights,
gas works, water works, a com
plete system of sewerage, paved
streets, the best drained town in
the world, a fire department as
fine as the finest, a law-abiding,
industrious, intelligent people
the best town in the State.
The interests of all the prop
erty of all the business of
all are involved in the de
velopment of our advantages
and in creating opportunities for
the employment of labor and the
"reward of enterprise. All being
thus interested, it will be
strange, indeed, if some feasible
plan for success along the lines
nerein indicated cannot be de
vised. But this can be done only
by united council and unity of
purpose and common effort.
If all of us, therefore, will
come together fuller of patriot
ism than of overweening selfish
ness, with more breadth of view
than of eyenly balanced oppor
tunities of neighborhood gains,
with a longer look ahead than of
looks to present personal returns,
with more foresight than hind
sight, then, surely, a plan can be
evolved that will bind - together
all the people oi Goldsboro and
the country round about in a
happy, industrial, progressive
union that will brirg to us and
our posterity more of prosperity
and happiness and contentment
than we can at present ken.
All clear-sighted men admit, l
J and all experience teaches, that
in unity there is strength and in
division there is failure. Nothing
has taught this lesson so forcibly
as our own recent political ex
periences. If this be true and it
is- it is certainly wisdom to cars
ry into effect at a time when
the tide is turning in our favor,
at a time when " it will do all the
most good, at a time when it
will place our town in the fore
front for the vision of recon-
nonering capital to rest upon
this maxim of abiding truth.
j-iet us, one ana all, for our
common weal our city's ad
vancement get together and
cousult in common: drop small
matters andrsmall interests and
small quarrels (if we have any)
and go to work as one people to
plan a perfect unity of purpose
and a union of effort that will be
just to all, and that will bring to
all progress, prosperity, peace
and a common and growing civ
ic prid?.

"The two worst enemies that
North Carolina bas in this great
crisis of the white citizens of the
Sate are Jeter Pritchard, United
States Senator from North Caro-
ina, and Dan Russell, Governor
of North Carolina."
We find the above in a contem -
porary. it was written ana
printed before the elections. Yes,
Pritchard and Russell are bad
enough in all conscience, and so
are Thompson, Holton, Ayer and
all the other leaders of the fusion
deviltry. But we desire to go on
record here and now as saying
that we have had little patience
with the policy of the campaign
which has sought to place all the
Infamy on Pritchard and Russell
et al. and their ignorant negro
dupes, while the very chief of
them all the most infamous of
them all Marion Butler, is al-
owed to go practically without
blame. The others are bad
enough, God knows, and the
wrongs they have done the State
should and will haunt them to
their graves, but we believe in
giving even me devil nis dues
and in placing the responsibility
where it belongs.
Every man of intelligence in
the State knows that Butler is
responsible for the conditions
which now exist and which have
existed in the State for Eour
years. The others have given as
sistance to the best of their
ability, it is true; but surpassing
all of them in ability and capacity
to engineer and promote the ends
which gave the fusionists suc
cess, he worked out the plot to
its successful conclusion and to
him is due the infamy of its suc
cess.
It was Marion Butler who, by
persistently and assiduously
instilling prejudice and hate into
a portion of the people whose
confidence he had succeeded in
winning, divided the white peo
pie in '92. It was he who, step
by step, led his forces into a coali
tion with the Republicans and
negroes in '94 and '96 and thus
elected Pritchard to the Senate
and Russell Governor. It was
Butler who, realizing that the
conditions which he had brought
about in North Carolina; realize
ing that the honest white people
of the State of all parties would
not long tolerate the infamous
dynasty which he had set up, but
would come together and over
throw it; and knowing that if it
was oyerthrown he would be
crushed in its ruins it was But
ler who sought by overtures last
spring to unite with the Demos
crats on condition that he be als
lowed to dominate them as he
had dominated and traded upon
his handful oi followers.
When his proposition was
scorned Butler, filled with venom
and hate, went up aud down the
State is this campaign and made
the meanest speeches by far that
any white man has made in North
Carolina. Possessed with all the
arts of the demagogue, filled with
insatiable ambition, greed, mal
ice, hatred and revenge, he used
every means within his power to
o incite and inflame his followers
tnat tney would once again vote
with the negroes and the Repub
licans to keep in power the infas
mous gang which now controls
the State, and to humble the
Democrats and if possible bring
them to his (Bntler's) feet,

ing that he is for white snprem

in the State dominated by ne
groes rather than surrender one
of his own selfish schemes. As a
brazen hypocrite, as aa utterer
of falsehoods and vile slanders
against men the latches of whose
