FISHE(RMAJ7 & FARME(R BY A. H. MITCHELL. Entered at the Post Office at Elizabeth Citv 'S3 xnd class matter. KUZABKTIOirY, Nov. THAT BALLOT. The Emblem of American Free dom Did It. There never was a more beau-' tiful and balmy day than Elec-. tiori day. Old Sol did not have a black cloud to overcast his ef fulgent rays or mar his progress along his diurnal pathway. It was not only bright but a serene day.irom Cherokee to Currituck. Not even a pressure of wind to disturb the mountain verdure of the old Blue Ridge. The placid waters of the old Albemarle rippling and played mirthfully upon the sandy shores of historic Roanoke Island, the nativity of the Anglo Saxon civilization of America.aiid where was breathed the inspirations of American freedom by the biilh of Virginia Dare. It was a day, ominous of victory of white supremacy over regro domination. The favor able circumstances, 'vhi h, when ushered in, clear! lore' old the fate of ignorance again t intel ligence. The mighty host of white men marshalled their strength and with Aag!o Saxon courage planted its banner on the dome of the Capitol of the Old North State with the united strength of all parties, severing as they did the ties of party afhls iation, and rallied under the An glo Saxon banner assisted in achieving the great victory of Tuesday. It was one secured by the honest citizens who love their state more than party. To this class of recruits, the whole State owes a debt of gratitude, and we congratulate them upon their Anglo Saxon manhood The defeat cf Fusion is the viu dicatiou of the honesty and in. tegrity of Carolina's citizen ship and blotted out the infamy and shame that hung over our political sky. Its defeat is ap palling. Its burial so deep that we doubt its resurrection will take place during this genera tion's time. Rejoice I oh ye sons of Carolina, for the day of retri bution is nigh at hand, that will wipe out of existence the Fusion corruption that encompassed the good old North State. Let the mountains, the rivers and lakes send forth the shout of deliver ance from corrupt Fusion ru lers, who bow to the shine of fil thy lucre and debase the man hood and womanhood of the An glo Saxon race by inaugurating negro domination within our state's borders over the intelli gent white man. The political upheaval, as our figures show in this issue, is so intense that an outraged white population have risen in their might and strength and con signed Fusion to an oblivious grave. The white womanhood of Carolina was one of the priuci pal factors in visiting upon our political adversaries, the just - - i 1 1 1 r . -v t reiriDuuon, aeiear. 1N0 one can conceive the immense pow er that woman sways even in the political arena. When she takes the sceptre iu her hand it disarms the most defant ene my. It puts to flight the black and mongrel hordes who, in their own conceit, think they are so entrenched that no power on earth can c;isl'.n- .neiu, but when that sceptre, t! emblem of power, is waved, it produces consternation, demorilization and utter destruction. So be- WTare young man what political avenue you select in life to travel Listen not , to the sv- ren song of political ambition, but first consult the oracles of white womanhood, and they will guide you in the proper po litical channel. ADA REHAN'S STATUTE. The celebrated "Silver statue Which was on exhibition at the World's Fair, and for which it is said Ada Rehau posed, is now suspected to be worth less than 1,000, says the Topeka Journal, although it has always been supposed to be sol id silver and to have a value of $30,000. Some time after the World's Fair the statue was brought to Topeka for exhibition, and while it was there creditors of the Chicago firm which owned the statue attached it and had a receiver appointed for the prop erty. Those who have claims against the statue now offer to sell for less than 1,000, but the owners do not seem disposed to accept the offer, although they have been frequently notified of it. This leads to the suspicion that the "silver statue" is composed largely oi lead and is not "worth 1,000. In the meantime it is kept here in the cellar of Samuel Barnum, Jr., vt ho is the receiver appoin ted by Judge Hazen. Bears the si Ttl8 KinJ Yon Have Alwavs Rrwrrto CLERGYMAN'S BRIDE ROUTS A BURGLAR. Alone in The Parsonage, Mrs. - . 1 r 1 Rogers snot at a tniei wno Was packing up her Wed ding Gifts. Mrs. A. W. Rogers, bride of the pastor of the Baptist church orGouveneur, N. Y., the .other night put to flight a burglar whom she discovered in the din ing room of the parsonage pack ing up the silverware her wed ding gifts. The clergyman had been cal led away on business, the ser vant was absent, and Mrs. Rog ers was spending the night alone in the parsonage. Early in the evening Mrs. Rogers no ticed a man peering in one of the windows, and recognized him as an ill looking feilow, who had been loitering about the vicinity two weeks before. Slipping out of the l ouse, she hurried to the office of B. F. Brown, close by. Several men made a search in the vicinity, but could find no trace of the prowler. Mrs. Rogers was advised to spend the night with some friends or to get some one to stay in the house with her, but not wishing to appear cowardly she refused. Before retiring she took the precaution to load a small revolver. About three o'clock in the morning she heard someone cutting the glass out of one of the windows. Dressing hastily, Mrs. Rogers descended to the first floor. The burglar, having entered by the window, had unlocked an outer door, to facilitate his escape. Mrs. Rogers, opening the dining room door, found him packing up the silverware by the light of a dark lantern. The burglar was tall and powerful. Mrs. Rogers is short and slender, but she did not hesitate. Taking careful aim she fired and the burglar fled, leaving his booty behind him. It was a pale and cheerful wife that greeted the Rev. Rogers on his return in the morning, but she still had the wedding gifts.

Quite a crowd of people as sembled at the Court House on Tuesday, election day, to cast their votes. Everything passed off quietly. Mr. and Mrs Kirk, of Long Islaud, N. Y., are here visiting their son, W. T. Kirk. Isaac Mann, a colored man on the Island, has proven this sum mer what can be done with very little effort, in raising peas and gourds. He has one gourd vine that has on it 48 large gourds fully matured; and some one gave him a single "wonder derful pea" which he planted and gathered one half gallon clean peas therefrom. The viue grew twelve feet in length. The sooner a cough or cold is cured without harm to the sufferer the better. Lingering colds aie dangerous. Hack ing coughs is distressing. Why suffer when such a cough cure is within reach? It is pleasant to the taste. Griggs & Son. When you ask for De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve don't accept a counterfeit or imitation. There are more cases of Piles being cured by this, than all others combined. Griggs & Son. tyoijumeijts and Gravestones.

A Skin Disease In a Terrible Condition with Scrofula Sores Took Hood's Sarsaparilla and Is Better than for 10 Years. " I had a skin disease which was very troublesome. I took a great deal of strong medicine which did not do me any good and I was at last obliged to give up. I was in a sort of stupor some of the time. . Scrofula sores broke out and I could get nothing to do me any good. My daughter told me of a woman who was afflicted as I was and who found re lief in Hood's Sarsaparilla. I concluded to try this medicine. At that time 1 was in a terrible condition with sores on my head and body. The first few doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla seemed to give me relief, and in a short time the sores be gan to heal. My appetite improved and I felt like a new man. I am now in better health than for 10 years." S. M. Ghiee, Winnsboro, Fairfield Co., Little River, South Carolina. Remember Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best in fact the One True Blood Purifier.

We are informed that a few enterprising people have repair ed the old swamp road recently so that it is quite possible this is a step in the right direction, we have often wondered why it was that the two counties of Camden and Currituck did dot come to gather and put a good road across there. It would be a great benifit to both counties, socially and financialy.
