HE SEES DEFEAT These (Simmons and his negroes) are sending out more false promises to the white men of North Carolina, whose votes they got by false promises in 1898. He rode into Congress on the backs of the negroes, the Democratic party rode into power in 1898 on the back of the negroes and they are trying to ride into power in 1900 on the back of the negroes, with whom they seek to scare the white voters of the State into disfranchising themselves and their children and with whom he prefers to associate at his headquarters rather than with ladies who are eager for the employment which he denies them. Names of the negroes, assisting Mr. Simmons at Demo cratic headquarters, shown in the above picture, are as follows: (1.) Frank Green. (4.) (2.) Joe Massey. (5.) (3.) Frank Prather (Supt (6.) and Captain of gang.) There were other neerro assistants namely: Jas. Hall, Albert Holt, and others Gayther Massey. Will Holt.

Cyrus Thompson here on July the 18th. Dr. Thompson's speech was a masterly one, created much enthu isiasm, and pronounced splendid by all who heard it, regardless of party affiliations. The gathering was the largest that had assembled in Warrenton in four years. Dr. Thompson is a good man, and a good speaker, and this speech will do much good for the cause. Hon. C. A. Cook was called upon, and followed in his usual fine style, with a few well chosen remarks, which were forcibly put and to the point, creating much applause and enthusiasm. Our County Convention also met on this occasion and nominated the following ticket : For legislature, C. A. Cook, Re publican. For Sheriff, N. M.Jones, Populist. For Register of DeedsJ. B. Pow ell, Populist. For Treasurer, N. M. Palmer, Pop ulist. For Coroner, W. R. Wiggins, Pop ulist. For Surveyor, J. D. Palmer, Pop ulist. S. G. Satterwbite, of Vance coun ty, was endorsed by this Convention for the Senate. "Popitlipt." ! M t'al. IU-tf -t Mm m Vral I W-lr wUni w OM -fnau4 Ilia sipcil to tti rurta.
