1 FISHERMAN & FARMER . BY A. H. MITCHELL. Entered at the Post OSce at Elizabeth Cit S3 -ond class matter. t, , ELIZABETH CI TY. Nov. 18 1898. HON. F. M. SIMMONS. Few men are endowed by the gift of nature with the blended attributes which form the char acter of a leader. Men are con stituted for different avocations of life. Much depends upon success or failure, by adhering to or not, the natural inclination of nature's gift. The great mo tive power Executive ability virn and energy, surmounts ob stacles, though mountain high and sweeps from its path way as though some flimsey material, and the onward march progresses, with an intrepid tread, to the consumation of the object in view. When all the characteristics are blended in one person, in formation of the character of a leader, we have before us the picture of a noble and grand being. His Napo leonic course wins admiration and his magnetism attracts ev ery eye. Every sphere of life calls for a leader. The Divine Being, from the earliest dawn of creation, down to the present time, has raised up men for people to lean upon their genius and iudgemeut, to carve out their destiny and deliverance from hesettincr evils. The Dem ocrat party chose Hon. F. M Simmons to lead the mighty hosts of white supremacy, in the recent campaign, to re es tablish the Anglo Saxon doraN nation. His executive ability, his aeeressiveness, gave birth to consternation and dismay in the ranks of the polit ical foe. His clarion notes soun ded o'er the mountains of the west, o'er the hilltops of central N. C. and then swept over the majestic waters of the east, to where the whitecapped breakers of the broad Atlantic lashed an erily the sandy shores of Curri tuck; and from there the revers bation went back the glad some sound the Anglo-Saxon mo( n.re united to victory or death. This great political he ro, the central figure of a united democracy, armed with Anglo Saxon manhood, and the scepter of power, weilded in the hands of white womanhood, nerved him to action, and with undauux ted courage, he assailed the po litical foes that confronted him, with the solid phalanx of white supremacy, he routed them and iti utter confusion they fled to their haunts, there to repine in defeat. To the invincible lead er Hon. F. M. Simmon?, your countrymen owe you a debt of gratitude and from the hearts of white womanhood as eends the prayer, that your no ble life may be lengthened through many years to enjoy with them the fruits of your pa triotic and manly labors. We congratulate our county chairman, Mr. T. B. Wilson, for his skillful management and untiring efforts in rallying the white man's party, in the late campaign. It's organization was perfect, so much so that he could almost give figures of the result, anterior to the battle of ballots. He is particularly complimented tor the manner in which he called the conven tion. It's conception fitted ex actly the political conditions of the day, which was so much at variance with the Fusion meth od. It's contra distinction aid ed materially to the grand sue cess of the party and it won the admiration of every one. He was not hampered with faction al strife or with the shadow of personal aggrandizement which were one of the main levers of success. Along the entire line of 1436 white voters, in the couns ty we are joined in heaping up on his judicious head a shower of Ecomiums. Those pugilistic negro Divines in Brooklyn, fight racial battles at long range and manifest great bravado in avenging imaginary brutality to their race in North Carolina. They, however, contract their ODtical nerves when the scene of negro massacre by miners looms up before their vision in tlie great Western state of Illinois; the only offence being, tuey asK ed the right to work, which was denied them by a Republican Governor. But when under ne. gro regime, law and order were strangers to the municipal aus thorities of Wilmington, N. C, and it became intolerable to law abiding citizens, which culmi' nated in riot and bloodshed, which were most to blame, Illi nois or North Carolina? Lets have a short range res sponse to the question.

It passed off quietly at this place; not even the slightest disturbance of any kind occur red during the day. The peos pie of this place seem to be over joyed over the result of the election, and well they may, for now the Demo crats are in power they may look forward to better times. The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with a pain in the chest or side, or a lame back, give it a trial. You are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords.
