The Rally a Success Many Populists Attend and Return to the Party of the 4 White Man and the White Metal." The Street Parade a Thing of Beauty. Last Thursday was a sal a uay in jjuuu, anu jiarneu s Democrats -rere here in great lumbers. The bude call of I TT . i 1 White government for North Carolina had gone iourth into every nook, and corner of the county calling on the white men to come and join in the Demo cratic rally at Dunn which would -start the greatest cam paign since 187G. Beside Har nett's Democrats the call was extended to our sister counties of Johnston, Sampson and Cum berland to come over and help us and they responded with great numbers. At 10 o'clock our beautiful little town was overflowing with enthusiastic Democrats, many of whom had come from upper Harnett, a distance of thirty miles and still they were com ing on every road. Their wives, daughters and sweethearts came with them to grace the occasion and lend their influence to the cause of good government and Anglo-Saxon supremacy. By 11 o'clock the largest crowd of people ever seen in the town pf Dunn was assembled and when the parade started at .Hotel Di vine the streets ' were literally packed with people. The parade wras a very pleas ant and attractive part of the occasion. Chief Marshal O. P. Shell rode at the head of the procession followed by the by cyclists, who had their wheels decorated in the national colors, and the little girls six and sev en years of age on their tiny wheels, mingling with the other riders made quite a pretty scene and received m u o h applause from the crowd as the proses sion passed. Then came the wagon carrying the band which furnished the music for the occa sion, followed by the carriages containing the speakers accom panied on either side by mar shals on horseback. Behind these came the township float drawn by four horses, two white two bays, beautifully decorated and with appropriate inscrip tions painted on its sides, in which were seated thirteen young ladies and Mr. J . L. Hines, representing the twelve townships and carrying the banner which the ladies of the county have given to the township which makes the largest percentage of gains in white . votes. In this float Miss Susan E Hodges represen ted Averasboro township, Miss Fannie Young, Black River, Miss Nelie Spence, Buckhorn, Miss Lily Smith, Hector's Creek, Miss Cora Taylor, Neill's Creek, Miss Lena Marsh, Lil lington, Miss Laura Parker, Stewart's Creek, Miss Kate Bryan, Upper Little River. The young ladies invited from Barbecue, Anderson's Creek, Johnsonville and Grove Were not present and Misses Nettie Barnes, Annie Pearsall, Mattie Carr and Gertrude Harper of Dunn acted for them. Miss Lillian Herring, of Clinton, carried the banner. This float was very pretty and with its fair occupants made it one of the most attractive features of i the 'occasion, j . Next in the procession came the float of Mr. E. F. Young, drawn by four' white horses, handsomely decorated in red, white, and blue carrying twenty-four young ladies each hold ing a flag on which; was in scribed "White Supremacy for North Carolina!" This was a very handsome float and re ceived many wrell merited plau dits. As the floats passed through the streets the young ladies sang "Ho! for Caroli na," "The Old North State Forever" and other patriotic airs. The up-to-date business men did not fail to take advantage of the occasion to get in an ad vertisement of their business and some of them had quite at tractive cards carried in the pa rade. Little Jimmie Phillips with his little ox and cart deco rated and striped with-tlie na tional colors, attracted much applause. A few minutes after 11 o'clock the procession arrived at the place for the speaking and when Hon. D. H. McLean arose on the speaker's platform to intro duce Hon. R. B. Glenn, of Win ston, a great sea of intelligent, and enthusiastic faces greeted him. In a few well chosen sen tences delivered in his own hap py strains, Mr. McLean pre sented Mr. Glenn to the audi ence. Mr Glenn came forward and held his audience almost spell bound for ' an hour and a half with his wise counsel, convinc ing argument and eloquent log ic. His arraignment of the party in power for the disgrace and scandal brought upon the State bv it was strong and ef fective. His appeals to the white people the liberty lov ing citizens of the State to get together and vote for the pro tection of their .property, their homes and their wives and daughters brought tears to the eyes of many of his hearers. The whole audience was im pressed with the candor and truthfulness of his statements. He drew no fancy or imaginary pictures but presented the true condition of affairs as they exist in North Carolina to-day with burning eloquence. He spoke with ease and grace and won the applause of all Democrats and the respect and admiration of the Populists and Republi cans who heard him. Manv have remarked to us that it was the greatest speech the- had ever heard. At the close of his speech the whole audience stood and sung the "Old North State Forever," after which dinner was served. After dinner was over the audience reassembled at the platform and Mr. II. B. Hardy introduced Hon. Charles R. Thomas, the Democratic candi date for congress from this dis trict, (Third). Mr. Thomas was greeted with a round of ap plause and spoke for more than an hour and held his audience in rapt attention. He spoke in an easy and graceful style and with pleasing effect to his hear ers. He talked of national pol-r itics, illustrating the policies of the different political parties in the nation and the extravagance and oppressive rule of the party now in. power, and gave con vincing argument for the resto ration of the Democratic party to power which advocates a low tariff, for revenue only; an in come tax, that the rich may bear their just proportion of the burdens of taxation ; the One Minute Cough Cure surprises people by its quick cures and children may take it in large quantities without the least danger.. It has won for itself the best reputation of any preparation used to-day for colds, croup, tickling n the thro-it or obstinate cough?. Hood i Grantham. free and unlimited coinage of I both' silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1: an opposition to trusts and monopolies and com bines of capital to impoverish' the poor. In coming down to home issues he reviewed the origination of the Populist par ty and the causes why it was formed. He showed the honest Populist that the leaders of his party had sold his "birthright for a mess of pottage" and had turned the State; over to Repub licans and negroes. He told him that the Populist party was not formed to turn the eastern part of North Carolina over to the rule of the negro. He told him that he had gone out for reform and that his party lead ers had sold him out for office. His speech was mild, Tet firm, and he told Jof j the negro rule and domination in the eastern counties under the fusion State government with telling effect. His appeals to the Populists to vote in the coming , election so that their vote might be count- ed for white government in North Carolina were eloquent -i and convincing. Mr. Thomas is a pleasant and forcible speak er and although the people had been sitting for three hours whfen he closed they were not tired and would have gladly heard him an hour longer. He made a most j favorable impres sion with them and the remark was made by many "A fine speech. He will be a credit to the district in Congress and he must be elected," and he will oe, too. 'The enthusiasm among Democrats manifested here on that day will carry Har nett for the Democrats and we will give ; Thomas a good ma jority for Congress. Mr. Glenn and Mr. Thomas each were presented, with a handsome boquet of flowers at the conclusion of their speeches. The Dinner. This rally was given under the man agement of'theiDunn ''White Govern ment unioii" unu to say tnat it was a success puts it! mild. It was .a grand success, fcbme one said it was a "howl ing success." The committee had three hundred pounds of beef, two hundred pounds of mutton and two hundred and lifty pounds of barbecue cooked beside a large (iiiautity of bread, and to this amount was added a large quantity . of ham, chickens, j and other meats which the people brought in btskets. The ta ble was four hundred feet long and the committee on jbaskets had it literally loaded down with food when dinner was announced. There were at least thirtv- live hundred pounds ol food on it when the people were called to it. it is need less to say that everybody got some thing to eat. There was plenty and all ate hearty and were welcome. In such a large crowd there is generally a rusii, especially when it is announced that dinner is read', but on this occasion perfect manners were observed and everybody waited after reaching the table until the blessing was asked. A soberer, more modest, or orderly crowd we have never seen together, and we take it as an omen for good. The peo pie knot' thatiunder the present condi tion of aliairs that there are stormy times ahead unless there is a. change. Thus knowing they 'came together in mild, sober thought to hear two of North Carolina's. most gifted young men and to partake of the hospitality of Democrats of j Dunn and surrounding communities, j fTheyl heard two good speeches, ate a good dinner and enjoyed the presence of our fair women. who are determined that North Carolina in ust be ruled by white men and as they can not vote, they will lend us their iutlu ence. Surely with it we cannot fail. Success nnist be ours. We verily believe that the influence of this rally, should theie not be another speech made j in this county, will carry Harnett comity Demociatic in Novem ber. And that influence does not stop in Harnett county it spreads out into Cumberland and Sampson and John ston and bears fruit in all. We hav heard if several l'opulists expressing themselves as coming back and voting with us. Thus we believe that it was a grand success politically. From a business point of iew it was a success foi Dunn. It brought the lar gest crowd here ever in the history of the town, j People in Harnett county came here that day that had never been heie before.! These people were pleased wiih the busy little town down here in the corner of. Harnett and almost within a stone's throw of Sampson, Cumber laud and Johnston. Nearly all of the people who came here that day spent sonic money. All our merchants were busy and had a good large trade. And here We would remark that sonic of I hem wuld contribute nothing b..cau.-e they feared that it would not be a suc cess. These should remember thtt united we sueet-ed. We went into it to succeed, we made a success.. Through! the public spirit and patriot ic enterprise of Mi. J. L. Hines and Mr, K. 1 Young the parade was made pos sible. These gentlemen at their own expense fitted up a float each, and as all ere here know, the floats were very handsome and with their fair occupants contributed ini!ch to the success of the otc.ision. Dunn did nobly, Harnett did well and our sister counties have the thanks of Harnett's Democrats for their splendid contributions towards making our Dem ocratic Iially, Barbecue and Pic-nic ore of the largest and most successful polit ical gatherings ever held in North Caro lina.

When the Democratic party went out of power it was rare that a negro otiice -holder I could be found, in the btate ; and when one was found, it vas in a position and under circum stances which did not; make him obnoxious to the white peo ple, and which did not create within him a desire to rule over and dominate the; white man. j In the four years of Republi can Fusion legislature, and in the year and a half of ithe Republican-Populist Fusion ad ministration, wonderful) strides have been made in conferring office upon the negro j and in setting him up to rule over white men. Elsewhere in this Book we have told in detail how the town of Greenville was turned over to the negroes p and we have also spoken in a general way of the domination of the negro in Wilmington and New bern, both of which cities are now under his control, or under the control of white men domi nated by the negro. To show the progress being made in establishing the ne gro as a ruler in various and sundry positions in the State, we give a list of offices held by him, selected from a few coun ties anions' the counties of the State as a sample, by way ot ll- lustration: In Craven county 26 negro magistrates there are 13 negro school committeemen, 4 negro Deputy Sheriffs, 1 County Coin- missioner, l jailor, bles, 1 Register of Deputy Register of a 1 2 consta Deeds, 2 Deeds, 1 Coroner. In the City of New- bern there are 5 negro police men, 1 Oity Attorney, 3 City Councilmen, 1 cemetery sexton, besides the negro engineer and other negroes employed in the public buildings. In Columbus County there are 17 negro school committee men, 5 negro magistrates, and 2 negro postmasters .j In Hertford there are G ne constable, gro magistrates, 1 10 negro school committeemen, 2 negro postmasters,! and 1 ne gro Board of Education. In Chowan there are 2 negro aldermen, 8 school committee men, 1 County Commissioner, and 1 member of Board of Edu cation. In Pasquotank negro magistrates, man, and 5 school men. there are 3 1 police-committee- In Perquimans there are G negro magistrates, committeemen, 1 10 school m embe r Board of Education, 1 County Commissioner, and 1 town con stable. In Jones there are 3 negro magistrates, 12 negro school committeemen, in five town- ships there being two negroes on each committee In Hyde there are school committeemen. In Beaufort therp is school committeeman 8 1 negro negro in each township.. In Oaswell there- are 7 negro magistrates, 1 negro school com mitteeman in each township, 1 negro Deputy Sheriff. In Wayne there are G negro magistrates, 2 negro postmas ters, 3 negro aldermen, 1 clerk in the Goldsboro post-office. In Nash there are 6 negro magistrates, and mitteemen. 11 school com- In Carteret, 1 negro town commissioner in Edgecombe there are ne- gro postmasters in the towns Battleboro of Rocky Mount, V 1 and Lawrence ; t lere are 3o ne and 8 negro gro magistrates constables, besides a large number of negro school commit teemen In Montgomery there are 4 negro school committeemen In Richmond there are 10 negro magistrates, 23 negro school committeemen, two ne groes being on every school committee (except one, where there is a vacancy) , 1 negro on the Board of Education, 1 Dep uty Sheriff, and 3 negro road overseers. From these sample counties, taken indiscriminately from the;central and eastern sections, any one can see how the negro is progressing as a ruler of For broken surfaces, sores, insect bites, burns, skin diseases and especial ly piles theie is one reliable remedy.

I Bean the The Kind You Haw Always Bought Signature of white men. Elsewhere in this Book we have laid stress on the fact that under the Republican-Populist Fusion the share of the negro in the pie was the local offices. The above illustrations show how true this is. And in an other place we have suggested that as the States to the south of us have put up a barrier against the negro, and the States to the north of lis won't give him anything, North Car olina is the only State holding out to him the allurements of office, and thus invites him to come here and agitate for office ; and, unless there is some change, if the negro progresses in office-holding in the future as in the last two or three years, it will not be long before he is in absolute control. This progress has been made under Republican administra tion of affairs, with' the aid of the Populists ; and it is safe to -conclude that if the Republican party is continued in power, this progress of the iegro as an office-holder will continue to go on. The white people who have aided in bringing about these things were once much opposed to negro rule. But they have become familiar to it, and ap parently do not object to it. And the longer they are famil iar to it, the less they will ob ject to it. They do not seem to object even now to negro school committeemen having supervi sion of white schools ; in many cases there being twro negroes to one white man over the schools where the sons and daughters of white men are taught. We do not see-how any white man can approve of that. But by degrees the white men who have aided the Re publicans in bringing all this to pass, have become habituated to it. And in some counties we ob serve, as in Richmond, there are negro overseers of the pub lic roads. The .white men of those down trodden communi ties being obliged to go out and work the public roads under negro overseers. We cannot express our ab horrence of all these things. Will the white men give it their countenance? Under Demo cratic rule such things could never have come to pass, and it is only by putting- the Demo crats again in control that what has been done can be undone, and these outrages on the white school children and the white men of these counties be remedied.- Democratic Hand Book.

Sit U or Well, ft ICusli ISIH The Packers at the Battle of San tiago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Am munition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E Butler, of pack train No. 3, writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23rd, says : "We all had diar rhoea in more or lees violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the trotps supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health ; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the pack ers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and 1 know in four cases it absolutely saved life " The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Dea Moines, Iowa.
