The Democratic law left the tax to be paid by the people and forced the same people to pay a part of the same tax to work the public roads, while a large prt of the funds raited by taxation is given to overseers and their aona and their teams. The facts in full about this vicious legislation are given below: Facta About Warren County Road Law. Tte fusion legislature of 1895 and 1897 freed tbe poor people from work ing on the roads, and provided for the working of tbe same by taxation (Chap. 449, lawa 1895, page 475, and laws 1887, eta. 92, page 148.)

The rulflUment of a Prediction Made by the People's Party is Being: Quietly and Sneakinjfly Pushed Foward. The People's Party predicted in .898, that if the Democrats came nto power, they would inaugurate schemes that would disfranchise the people. The Democrats denied this. But the schemes of disfranchise ment are before the people. Tbe People's Party is now pre- dielingthat if the Democrats are continued In power, they will add a FR"TKRTY QUALIFICATION to the schemos already before the people The Democrats are denying this But the scheme and purpose both are laid bare by the following affi davit : State or North Carolina, i Wake County.

John Nichols, J. P. WHITE SUPREMACY. en Sed TThlt Man Put Out and a Kagro Put In Ills Plaoa. It is all right for a negro to get between every poor man and his job and rule prices of white labor ; but when the negro, by his vote, gets between some politician and his pie, then a great cry is raised and every one who does not join in the cry is a "nigger lover." It is said Edwards & Broughton, Stat Printers and proprietors, of the Biblical Recorder have become tired of negro supremacy. It is said they gave a negro a white pressman's job. If this is bo, it is as bad as giving some white politi cian's job to some other white man by a few negro votes. ONLY ELEVEN To Eiar R. D. Gilmer Speak in Daclin County. On last Saturday, K. D.

Lumberton, N. C, July 10. There was a good gathering in the Court house Monday to hear Con gressman Kelly, of South Dakota, and Capt. J. B. Lloyd, who dis cussed the momentus issues that now so vitally concern the people of North Carolina. Mr. Ivelly said when he came to this State he ex pected to discuss imperialism, fi nance, transportation and trusts, but he found hero an effort being made to establish the greatest and most dangerous trust ever known, a political trust, and that it was useless for him to discuss national issu s when the people of th s State are confronted by such serious con ditions. He discussed ably th proposed constitutional amendment and said that section 5 of said arm nd ment was unconstitutional and would be so declared by the cour s, and that he Valance of the amend ment would stand, which would result in disfranchising fory i.r fifty thousand honest illiterate whites. He quoted with good affect such great constitutional lawyers as Senators Stewat. Teller, I'ettigrew and Allen who said that section 5 was unconstitutional J that the conrs would so declare and the balance of the amendment would stand. Tbe audience was thoroughly ap preciative and attentive. Mr lly spoke for over an hour, and after he concluded Capt. nyd gave us a very strong argument against the amendment. He said that great Constitutional lawyers, men of great prominence and ac knowledged ability, men who bad helped to shape the policy of the country for thirty odd years, men of J long experience who had grappled with great constitutional questions, for years, had declared that tbe grand father clause in the ac-Gudm-nt was clearly unconstitutional, and that th courts would dec.'are that the ballance of the amendment would stand, thereby giving to N rth Cht- olina a strietly educational qualiu cation suffrage which would apply to both white and bltck alike, and re' suit in the disfranchisement of at least fifty thousand white men in North Carolina: that such waa snffi cie nt to create a reasonable and se rious doubt, and that no person who was opposed to disfranchising wbite men could afford to take the risk of voting for the amendment; that the only safe thing the il iterate white men could do would be to vote against the amendment. He spoke with great force and ef feet, and his speech was highly ap preciated bv the audience.

The cam- paign bfing cnductel by tho Pop- ilist party through its soeak rs nd its press, is one of tho most viior us ever wagod in North Car olina, and the effect of It is beintr plainly seen on the sturdy yeoman ry, and the honest, intelligent vo ters of the State.

Dr. Thompson is making the greatest speeches of his life ; ho commands tfe undivi- d d att ntion of 'he people, ar d he is drawing crowds four or five times a grent in number as the Demo cratic nominee for Governor is drawing. It is a well known fa"t that in Concord, not so many as fifty farm ers came to hoar Aycock, and it is equally well known that a con course of about six hundred peO' pie from tho country came to hear Dr. Thompson.
