D EMOCRA TIC MASS MEETING The State Executive Commit tee of the Democratic party has called a Convention of the party to convene at Raleigh on Thurs day, the 2Gth of May next for the purpose of nominating Judges of the Superior Court, the adoption of a party platform and such other business as may come before it . For the purpose of appointing delegates to this Convention I hereby call amass meeting of the Democratic party of Harnett County to assemble at Lillington on Thursday the 28th day of April next. No Township Primaries will be held, but every person who may attend this mass meeting will be recognized as a delegate. Each township will be entitled to cast its vote according to its relative Democratic strength. Every white man in the Coun ty who is in favor of keeping the' management of the colored schools in the hands of the col ored people, and the -white schools in the hands of the whi.te people ; who is opposed to mix ing school committees among the two races ; who is in favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver, and for a clean economical and patriotic, ad ministration of our State gov ernment free from scandal and jobbery, is invited to participate in this grand coming together of the people. Let everybody come out and hear the issues of the next campaign disscussed, and discuss them themselves. North Carolina must be redeem ed from the hands that now are stripping her of all her prestige, honor and glory, and she looks to every loyal son to help in this great undertaking. No questions of former party associations will be asked of anyone, only this qualifying question, are you in favor of re storing your native State to the hands and keeping of that proud Anglo-Saxon race to which you belong yourself and which has made North Carolina in the past one of the brightest stars in the galaxv of states that makes the American Un ion. ! With a reconciled and re-united Democracy the stains of the present will be effaced from our State's escutcheon, and the star that represents North Carolina on the American' flag will have restored to it its pristen lustre. D. H. McLean, Chairman Democratic executive Committe of Harnett County. . March 26th 1898. As we said last week war is close at hand. The papers to day (Wednesday) state that much excitement prevailed yes terday in both houses of Con gress and the general idea of the congressmen was that the United States should intervene in behalf of the Cubans at once. Several resolutions were intro duced in the Senate declaring for intervetioii and one went so far as to declare war against Spain. President McKinley is anxious for peace and has made a proposition to Spain to de clare an armistice of the war in Cuba until October arid settle the Cuban lira peaceful manner.r and try question The money power of the country wants no war with Spain and are with the Presi dent while the people are anx ious to help the starving Cu dans. If there is to be anv war Congress will have to declare it the president seems to be con trolled entirely by the money interest. Much excitement pre vails and there may be a serious - breach between Congress and ' the President. The matter will reach a crisis in the next few days and we are still of jthe opinion that it will be war.

Editor Union : I beg leave to make a correc tion totthe statement which ap peared in your paper March 16th headed "A serious cutting affray," which was true only in part. The following is a true statement of the whole affair as it occurred : When we reached my home, Lee was drunk and using profand language and my wife ordered him to leave and he told her he ) would when he pleased with an oath to it, after which I ordered him to leave and he told me the same thing he told my wife. Then Lee struck me and jerked my feet from under me and got on me and began to choke me and told me he had me where he had wanted me for sometime. I turned him off and we both got up and I told Lee I did not want to fight him. He then pushed me against the fence and began to choke me again, and in a few moments the row ended and Lee left for his home. A.s to me whipping my wife I want everybody to know is whol ly untrue. J.C.Phillips. March 22,1898. Mr Phillips brought the above statement to us last Wed nesday and requested ys to pub lish it and we do so. The pub lic now have the statement of both parties to the affray.
