Woolfolk, whose lilisband died so suddenly on' the 9th Oct. in California, ar rived home yesterday with her little boy Albert. Her parents, Dr and Mrs W. B. Harrell, were glad to welcome her home. When you go to vote Tues day remember the party that has mortgaged your county and i put you in a position, should .there be a failure in the pay ment of the bonds, to have a United States Marshal to take charge of your county taxes. We call special attention of the voters of the county that the names of a constable and three justices of the peace must be voted for on one ticket in each township. The Union Office is prepared to print these tickets at cheap figures. Call and get your tickets prin ted . There will be an oyster supper Friday night at Hotel Divine. The proceeds will go towards raising a fund for the Dunn Brass Band. Every citi zen of the town should go and help the hoys along. That we will have a band is an assured fact and it behooves every citi zen to give the young men a beeping hand, Shall the Anglo-Saxon or the African rule in North Car olina? is the question you are asked to decide next Tuesday. When you vote for the Demo cratic candidates you vote for the Anglo-Saxon to rule, the .other ticket is for the African to rule. Show your colors and -vote for the "white man and the white metal." Deputy Collector J. B Holland has captured two illicit distilleries in this county with in the last two weeks. One in Johnsonvilie township, the oth er in Black River township. No one was caught operating the stills but each showed that extensive operation had been carried on at them. Instead ot cutting the stills up he brought them in with him as they were small affairs. Office Hunter Dockery, Jr,,- of Richmond county, the co-operation candidate for solicitor who was nominated by seven negroes and six white men, has been in Johnston county for the past week making his dirty speeches. He will not stand up like a man and meet Pou. He was forced to meet Pou at Smithfield and such a rasping as Pou gave him is s e 1 d o m heard. All white men should vote for Pou. When you go to vote next Tuesday look at your tax re ceipt for this year and see how many pounds of cotton it takes to pay your taxes. If you had $1000 worth of property in loJb your taxes were $6.66 and o pounds of lint cotton would have paid them. This year on the same property your taxes are $8.00 and it takes 170 pounds of lint cotton to pay them, and if you pay poll tax it takes o0 pounds to pay that. lhe re publican partv has been in pow er in both State and nation and your taxes have increased while cotton has de- ceased half. Think of this and yote the white man s ticket. Hev. T. H. Leavit Addressed a large audience at 4-1-. m - - - last rriday night on "White Supremacy.'' Mr. Leavit is well known among our people as an evan gelist and minister of rare abil ity. He came not as a politi cal speaker to discuse the issue from a political standpoint but as a citizen who believes that the Anglo-Saxon was destined to rule in all countries. The Hall niiu men and ladies and for an hour and fifty minutes they .were charm ed with the eloquence and ora tory of the gifted speaker. Mr. Leavitt sa.irl t.h. ua aa - - u u l v ui; U1U not believe in taking politics in religion but in taking religion into politics. He was endeav oring tO raf a birth ov life as he. preaches for a higher religious life. He scored all po litical parties for their inconsis tencies and nlan.d fnr 11 111 f IT on1 harmony among the white peo- piu lor a oetter government. He said nothing harsh of any party and to the colored peo ple he spoke in words of praise. He took up the political situ ation in North C v m mm i v IV ii showed that the present govern ment was corrupt and managed by incompetent men for thmr own self aggrandisement. That the tendency was to elevate the negro to office and ascendencv j over the white man and pictur ed tne result it such a govern ment continued. He took the Bible for his guide, a copy of which he had in his hand, and read passage after passage in substantiation of his argument. He said that he had been looking over its pa ges to find the first fusion and found it in Genesis when Abra ham took Hagar, his hand maid to wife and begat Ishmael. Af terward Isaac was born and con fusion reigned. In every in stance where he found fusion, confusion was the result. He said the Populists had a right to form a third party but when they joined the Republicans they brought confusion. In his language "they married the cook" and confusion is the re sult. Through them the Re publicans were trying to fasten negro domination upon the peo ple. He said that the fusiort ist said the negro was in the woodpile, but he knew the ne gro was on top of the woodpile and had the axe, too. In one of his illustrations he said that the fusionists reminded him of the story of the old woman of Niger which ran thus : There was tin old woman of Niger, Who took a rule on a tiger When she finished the ride The tiger was on the outside. The fusionists, he said, Had taken a rule on the negro . t i i i 1 . l. . . .. : . l . Aim wnen iney iiniiieu uie nue i The negro was on the outside. That is the negro had com-j candidate of the Populists and pletely swallowed them up. I endorsee of the negro convention He made a great speech, the j at Fayetteville, made a flying like of -which has never been j trip through Harnett last Thurs heard in this section. It was I day and stopped at Buies Creek made on lines very different i from the order of political speeches and was tilled witli rare illustrations and great truths. All our people were hiehly edified and entertained It was uncontrovertible in log-! i ic and in diction and eloquence ; an Hour or so viui ueuuuuia unsurpassed. It will bear fruit.

Monday closed the second an nual contest on the guess of the seed in a pumpkin by the Dunn Hardware & r urniture Compa ny, the enterprising and popu lar hardware dealers of our town. Last year they gave a nice buggy robe but no one in le large number ot guesses guessed the exact number. This year they gave a No. 8 O. K. cook stove. The pumpkin, which had been on exhibition at their store for several wTeeks, was cut by a committee of dis interested parties Monday night and the seed counted. It con tained 637. The guesses were then opened and out of 1655 guesses mere were two tnat guessed the correct number 637 Mr. P. T. Massengill, of Dunn, and Mr. L. V. Denning, of Buie's Creek. The stove was awarded to these gentlemen ointly. We learn that Mr. Denning anticipates going to housekeeping in the near future and his luck is splendid for him as he will be able to obtain a stove at half price at least. So popular have these pump kin contests become with this firm, it has decided to have an other this fall. A $15 gun is the prize now. The pumpkin and gun are on exhibition at the store and each purchaser to the amount of one dollar's worth of goods is entitled to a guess. The person guessing the number of seed gets the gun.

Vote the white man's ticket next Tuesday like the Irishman takes his whiskey straight, without any scratching. Re member it is not men that you are voting for but principles. ' Men die and are soon forgotten, principles live forever, lhe question is : Shall the govern ment of North Carolina be dom inated by the African, or shall the Anglo-Saxon rule? lhe principle of the Democratic par tv is for the Anglo-Saxon to rule. in countv and State. You must help put this principle in to effect. Will you do it? An swer at the ballot box Tuesday next. The fusionists in Harnett numbered only 1487 voters in 1896 881 negroes and 606 white men. A large number of these white men will vote the Democratic ticket this year . There were 1264 Democrats in the county in 1896. There are good many more now. VV hen you go to vote next Tuesday ask yourself the question : Can I vote with the negro and against the men of my own col or? You must choose. If you vote with the fusionists you will vote with the negro, for you know that he has the majority of voters on that side. When you go to vote remem ber that Governor Russell put a negro in control of the inspec tion of fertilizers for the State, and white men were put under him to work. H. L.
