You will have' an oppor tunity to visit Wilmington and the sea-shore on September 2nd. The last . excursion run from Dunn by Hatch Bros, is pleas nntly remembered. This is a trip well-worth the price, $2.00. The- banner which the ladies have presented to the Democratic party is a beauty. The people of this section will have an opportunity to take a look at it here in Dunn, where we. want to keep it, before many weeks at a big Democratic rally. Mr. M. T. Young has made a cement walk in front of his store which adds much to the looks of his front.

They are of some importance ajsp. One of our merchants says he will give ten dollars toward putting the road from Mingo through Dunn to Cape Fear River at Averas boro in better condition. If each merchant, here that does over $5,000 worth of business in n vn.nr will rnntribnte that - v J Vlil J- A - amount and those who do less as much in proportion, this road which needs work most, can be put in fair condition. Don't all speak at once, but, let's come together and arrange for this road to be put in better condi tion.

Let every one from the country and the town who can, be present next Friday night. Don't for get that the ladies are specially requested to be present. Primaries Largely Attended. We were informed at Lilling ton Monday that the primaries throughout the county 'were all well attended, the largest num ber present for years. Averasboro primary was one among the best ever known in the township, more than thirty new names being added to the white Supremacy Union. The proceedings in part were as follows : For constable, Averasboro township, T. G. Fowler. For Magistrates, J. D. Phil lips, Jonas Reaves, J. G. John son and D. F, Hodges. For Township Executive Committee, W. A. Stewart, T. R. Parker, H. V. Moulton, A. W. Tart and B.. A. Hodges. In a beautiful speech Mr. D. H. McLean, made a motion that the white Supremacy Unions of Averasboro township set apart a day for a grand Democratic Rally in Dunn. The motion was carried and the 15th of September named as the day. An invitation was extended to all white Supremacy Unions to Ljoin and make it a gand success. A committee of 30, composed of 15 ladies and 15 gentlemen to solicit aid for the occasion. Help Them to Return. The signs of the times show much encouragement for the Democrats in this county this year. While at Lillington Mon day we were informed that in Buckhorn township where only SO votes -were cast at the last election for the Democrats tick et, that the white government Union had a membership of 85 already. The Buckhorn, Demo crats are wide awake and hust lingfor the ';White man and the white metal." From Upper Little River the word comes that in Precinct No 2, the Union has enlisted the names of five Populists on its roll of membership. Mr. D. C. Mc Rae one of the sjaunchest Democrats of that township, and none stronger to be found anywhere, informed us that the party would make considerable gains this year in his -section. Good news like this reached us from nearly every township. The white men of the . county will get together and thrust off the yoke of negro domination and radical rule that t. is now upon us. Enlist your selves Democrats, far the fray. It will be hot but the enemy will The Farmers ' Pic-Nic. Bayus Cade Puis Honest Pop ulists to the Blush. Two thousand feople assem- bled at Bett's Mineral Springs in Hector's Creek township last w tuuesuay to enjoy tne iarmer,s pic-nic find hear the discussion between Rev. BaTus Cade, Russell's private secyetary and Hon. D. H. McLean on the po litical issues of the day. Mr. Cade led the debate, by a discussion o'f the position. of the K ! w -J I , 1 i opuhsts party with reference to national banks, free silver and other questions of finally cial reforms which the masses of his party desire and he and the rest of his pie-eaters profess to favor. But on the question of the all absorbing interest to North Carolinians to-day Who shall rule our. state the Anglo Saxon or the African? He re mained as mute and silent as the tomb until forced to face the question by his opponent, when in his second speech he came out squarely on the side of the negro, declaring for politiral and social equality ; that intel-. lect and not color should deter mine the right to hold office ; that he doubted the ability of a man to escape Hell who is will ing to impose upon the negro the duties of citizenship and de ny him its reward. He told how he -had, completely anihila- ted a lady who was criticizeing a northern lady for kissing a ne gro child, by telling her that her race was too closely related to the negro race for her to be harping on the social equality of the two races. And what must have been galling to the honest Populists of his audience who had entered the party be lieveing it to be founded on the purest of political principles, he declared that policy and not principles lay at the bottom of his and all other political par ties.. It is impossible to describe the terrible punishment visited upon the Rev. Secretary and grand mogul of Russellism and negro rule, by the burning blis tering eloquence of the champ ion of White Supremacy. Mr. Mc Lean never had a bet ter opportunity and no man ever used his opportunity to bet ter effect. For matchless ora tory and invincible logic, " his speech has not been surpass ed in Harnett in recent years. Many Populifts declared at the close of the discusssion that if Mr. Cade was a true exponent of the principles of their party then they .were mistaken and had voted their last time with that organization. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue .coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters ;' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life,, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 ctsper bottle, at N. B. Hood's drug store.

The intense heat and clouds of dust did not prevent a vast crowd .attending the pic-nic, Wednesday, Aug, 10, at the mineral spring near Hector's Creek. Early in the morning might be seen on every road, buggies and carriages from Raleigh. Dunn, Benson and Apex loaded with- beautiful maidens and their fond lovers, all making their way to this famous spring. At eleven o'clock Mr. Cade, of Raleigh came forward tmd ad dressed the people upholding the principles of the Populist party. He was ably reified to by Hon. D. H. Mc Lean, who won much comment from his hearers for his masterly style of oratory and eloquence. His speech will cause many a voter to consider the matter before they vote against white supre macy. Dinner being announc ed, trunks and boxes of every discription were brought upon the scene and unloaded of their edibles which would tempt the most fastidious appetite. Hardly had the people time to do these delicasies justice, when the rain came and inter rupted all futher exercises of the day. v Despite the rain in the after noon, the pic-nic was a grand success and we can speak for all the participants in saying) they all went away rejoicing over the pleasant events of the day.
