DEMOCRATIC TICKET. NATIONAL TICKET. For President, WILLIAM J. HRYAN. For Vice President, ADLAI E. STEVENSON. NATIONAL CAMPAIGN. Is it right for North Carolina ians to -introduce the race issue into the National campaign ? Is it necessary in order to render permanent the fruits of the glorious conquest so recently achieved? Is it just to the ne- gro? Is it honorable to the white man? Will it conserve any of the gieat interests of the State ? These and kindred ques tions bearing upon the race issue are being discussed by our con temporaries. They have en tered into the discussion with the spirit and vigor characteris tic of the North Carolina press Some, however, I am sorry to say, impugn the motives of thei: fellows and deal largely in acri -monious utterances. This shoul i not be. Reason, commonsensr, and a proper regard for the lion est convictions of others should have the right of way. If the question is put thus : Should the great Democratic party in North Carolina inject the race issue into the National cam paign this fall ? We unhesita' ingly and emphatically answer No! Not, however, because in justice would be dealt out to the negro, not because any right would be trampled under foot, not because the honor of the white man would be at all com promised, nor because it would be violative or any Democratic pledges. For the injection of the lace question by the Demo cratic party would do nonk of THESE THINGS All pledges made by Aycock, by his colleagues or by other Democratic speakers were based upon the effective operation of the Amendment. This, of course, cannot take place unti 1902. The most densely ignor ant and hopelessly stupid know this Any attempt, therefore to make the pledges apply to a period prior to that named abov is the baldest soDhistn . It does NOT convict the Democratic par tv of a cowardly violation of oromises. It does convict the man who rttempts to make i appear so, of ignorance or insin cerity. We oppose the introduction of the race issue because we deem it unnecessary. We can see no good it would accomplish We can see no great interest that would be conserved there by. We see much harm it would do. It would keep alive race oreiudices. It would engender oassiou. It would kindle anew JL the fires of hate. It would breed vituperation and abuse. It would completely throttle all missionary efforts among the negroes. It would disturb o peaceful relations existing among neighbors. It would distract the public mind from the due consideration of vital and far-reaching National ques tions. It is the part of wisdom, therefore, to leave it alone. We do not believe that the great Democratic host intend to make use of it. Their sober, second thought will, we are sure, pro nounce against any such course. Upon the other hand if the Republican party forces the is sue we should meet it squarely and firmly. If it attempts to foist upon North Carolinians that ignorant and irresponsible class which the Amendment seeks to eliminate from the body politic then the Republican par ty and not the Democratic party injects the negro into the cam 1 jjf TtVj 11 ml itmi 1 iifn 1 mi paigri. 1"he responsibility shall rest where it rightly belongs. The lines of battle will be large ly, almost wholly dependent upon Republican procedure. But is not the race issue alt ready injected into the campaign by virtue of McKinley's nomin ation ? Shall the Democratic party then be charged with the crime of injecting the race issue simply because it denounces McKinley's dastardly attempt to humiliate North Carolina and other Southern States by the ap pointment 01 negro postmasters ? Aie we free to discuss the Porto Rican policy of the Ad ministration, its imperialistic tendencies, etc., but estopped from discussing other things equally as vital ? The public acts of the President are public property and they will be thors Oughly and fearlessly examined. In the death of Colonel W. Foster French, of Lumberton, North Carolina loses one of her most gifted and highly cultured sons. He was an able lawyer and was one of the courageous fighters during the late cam paign. Col. French was born in Nor folk, Va., in the year 1842, and was, therefore, about 58 years of age. He married Miss Ellen Fuller, of Fayetteville, whom he survived several years, and leaves four children. We ex tend sympathies to the bereaved oues. " My baby was terribly sick with the diarrhoea, ' says J. H. Doak, of Williams, Oregon. " We were unable to cure him with the doctor's assistance, and as a last resort we tried Cham berlain's Colic, Choleia and Diarrhoea Remedy. I am happy to say it gave immediate relief and a complete cure." For sale by J. E. Wood. He Will Not Do It. Editor J. VV. Bailey, of this city, is quoted in a Virginia paper as saying that he has vol unteered to write to the State chairman and Governor-elect Aycock that if the race issue is injected into the national elec tion he "will vote for McKinley as a protest." Softly and slowly, young man ! Nobody doubts that Editor Bailey would like to vote for McKinley. One of his brothers holds the position of postmaster in Raleigh under McKinley, and another brother holds a position in the census service under Mc Kinley, and Editor Bailey him self held an office under the State Republican Administra tion But he will not vote for McKinley "as a protest" or for any other reason. Editor Bailey is well known as an advocate ol trusts, the gold standard, corporation rule and imperialism, thus showing at heart that he is as much a Re publican as his McKinley office holding brothers. But he will not vote for McKinley "as a protest" or for any other reason. Why do we speak with such confidence? Until last April Editor Bailey boasted that lie was an independent in politics, and if he had continued his in dependence he could now vote for McKinley without forfeiting his political honor. But in April he abandoned his position as an independent and pro claimed himself a Democrat by attending a Democratic primary and making a speech therein. The primary that he attended elected delegates who took part in the selection of delegates that nomitated Bryan and Stevenson. By al. the rules of honorable politics, Mr. Bailey publicly bound himself to support the Democratic candidates from con stable to president. He is a member of a great church which inculcates political as well as personal morals. To fail to vote for any nominee on the Demo cratic ticket would be to adver tise a lack of political morals, would be, to quote Editor Bai ley, "a breach of faith." Editor Bailey, therefore will vote fof Bryan and SteVensoti. It Will be observed that We make reference to Editor Bailey and not to the Biblical Recorder. The owners ot that paper, Mr. C. B. Edwards and Mr. N. B. Broughton, are true blue Dem ocrats who do net see that it is any better to vote for a Presi dent who will appoint 27 negro postmasters in Eastern North Carolina than to vote for a Gov ernor who will appoint negroes to Sta'.c ofices, and who do not believe in either imperialism, trusts, the gold standard, subsi dies, corporation control or siny other Republican policy, State or National. Their Democracy has no "suffix" or "affix. " News & Observer. A Country of Opportunity. The South is practically a land of undeveloped resources. The one used to seeing well im proved farms with substantial buildings succeeding each other in endless succession, as he rides through the country, inter SDersed with industrial towns and busy cities, a trip through the South would in part present new and different scenes. There are many fine farms which ex hibit splendid evidences of thrift and comfort, and there are some of the most enterprising towns and cities in this country, but surrounding these, in every di rection, there are thousands of acres yet in timber, or unculti vated, and mountains of ore of many kinds yet to be brought to the l:ght of day and turned into commercial products. There TAVA TITO ClTf JtAnfl mere is weaun to oe made in developing these resources beautiful homes to be carved out of these uncultivated tracts now on the market at very low prices; fortunes to be made in many ways in this Southern country ; and for this reason we call it the land of opportunity. Opportunities for the man with money ; opportunities for the man without a home who has a willingness to work and a heart to persevere. Do you want to know where these opportunities are? Then write us, stating your requirements, and we will be glad to direct you to what you require. A Minister's Good Work. " I had a severe attack of bili ous colic, got a bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Em poria, Kau. " My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era aud Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, No.' 1 went home and brought him my bottle and gav. him one dose ; told him to tak- another d.se in fifteen or twent , minutes if he did not find relief ! but he took no more aud wa entirely cured."

Cohen, the Demo cratic Presidential nominee ac knowledges with expressions of appreciation the receipt of the handsome silk banner presented to him by the Women's Demo cratic Club of bait Lake, as an insignia of vict ry in November. The banner was forwarded to the great man by Mrs. Cohen, the club's president, with a let ter written by her while attend ing the Kansas City Convention, and the reply from Mr. Bryan, dated at Lincoln, Neb., to the Utah lady, the first woman who ever sat as a delegate in a Na tional Presidential Convention, reads as follows : "I have just found your favor among my accumulated mail. The banner arrived in excellent condition, and I thank you for it. I occupies a conspicuous place in our library where it is a constant reminder to us of the interest the women of Utah are tnking in the campaign. "In acknowledging the receipt of the banner, permit me to .a r - thank you lor seconding my nomination. I read the bulle tins at the time, and while have not had a chance to read the speech in full, I know from reports of Nebraskans who at tended the convention that you acquitted yourself well. "Mrs. Bryan joins me in best wishes to yourself and to the ladies. "Very truly yours, "W. I. BRYAN." Through the months of June and July our baby was teething and took a running off of the bowels and sickness of the stomach,'' says O. P. M. Holliday, of Deming. Ind. His bowels would move fiom five to eight times a dav. I had a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and gave him four drops in a teaspoonful of water and he got better at once." Sold by J. E. Wood. Turning Off Union Men. The cotton mill labor organi zation matter has reached an acute stage and may result in some unexpected developments at any time. The management of the Er. win mill has taken steps looking towards the extermination of the organization and the men are equally as firm that the or ganization shall exist and vvill not give it up. Rather than give up the organization the men will all work out their n )tice of two weeks and then look for positions elsewhere. It is no child's play with them. Since the movement j-tarted to organize the labor of the cot ton mills it has been very streii" uously opposed by Mr. vV. A. Rrwin, who practically has charge ot most of the mills iround Durham, but notwith t und'Eg his efforts to put a stop lo it, in the West Durham mill ulone there are over two fiund ed members of the organization, .vho are willing to risk all for its success. In East Durham there is another branch of the organiza clon wnica Ims uom Iorty to fifty membeis It was reported that this oiganization had sur rendered its charter, but this is not so. Iu West Durham the great ffort is being made to break the rganization. Already about fteen men have been notified Lhat the mill will not want their ..r vices alter the two weeks' n ticc which the contract calls in ;t be worked out before a di charge can be made.

For several years J. H. Rickel i has kept his two wives in his little carriage shop here, and the ! women have never spoken to press the payment of the re each other, yet no jealousy exists 1 maining State war claims between them. 'against the government. The reason for this is that the j first wife, who died in Dakota, bad lands 25 years ago, is petri- fied, and is securely packed in a wooden box. ! The living wife is her bus band's constant companion and ! helps him in the shop, besides ; doiusr -ier housework. When Rickel moved from j Dakota, several years ago, he - exhumed the body of wife No. 1 and found it petrified. He says it seems only natural that he should want her body as near as possible. He adds that it is the only thorough case of petti aca- tion ot a human body in the I United States. The form is perfect and the features of the face almost lifelike. Chamute, Kan., Dispatch, nth. His Life was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a tiightful death. In tell ing of it he says : " I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs be, came hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard ot Dr King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can't say too much in its praise." This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the j marked and sent on its world for all Throat and Lung ' mission. AM unsuspecting Trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents !

Of this sum six thousand dollars are claims of individuals, and the claim of the State amounts to four thou sand dollars. The delay in the payment of the claims of individuals has been delayed by reason ot the fact that the government de- manded volumes of evidence to support their accuracy, and iu some instances it was difficult to be had. All of the evidence has been presented and it is believed these claims will be paid at an earl date. The State claim of $4,000 must be secured by an act of Congress.
