This could be accomplished only by arranging for a division of the electoral vote in every state possible securing so many electors for Bryan and Watson, and conceding bo many to Bryan and bewail. At the opening of tbe cam paign this, , under the circumstances, seemed the wisest course for vour (com mittee, and it-ia clearer today I than ever tnatat ; was the only safe and wie course if our votes were to be cast and made effective for the relief of an op pressed and outraged people. Following this line of policy, (your committee has arranged electoral tick ets in three-fourths of the state, and will do all in its power to make the same arrangements in all of the States. By perfecting: this arrangement, and every sincere opponent of the gold standard giving loyal support to these point electoral tickets, the people's par ty will not only secure in the electoral college for Bryan and Watson several times as many votes as we could have possibly secured by making a straight ticket, but we will secure the defeat of McKinley and the gold standard, which should now be the ereatest desire of Mi, which Mortgage or Deed ia Trust la duly wopJH in Register's office for Cabarrus f-uiur.

In , his speech at Bayboro last. Saturday. Mr. Simmons, bpeaking of the negro in con- 4 nection with free Bilver, made some ob servations which I think ought' to be given to the public. Among other things he said: ... "Four months ago all partie3 in North Carolina were for free silver and against the single gold standard,. The Repub licans were then as united and insistent in their declarations 'for silver and against gold as the Democrats and Populists. This wad not only trite of the white men of the Republican parly, lead by Pritchard and : Russell, -but : it was equally true of the black men of that party, led by Young , and White. The country negro, whether a .firmer or farm laborer, was especially earnest in his advocacy of the white metal. He had. talked over the subject with- his landlord or employer, And they had agreed that the gold standard was. re- ponsible for the low prices of farm pro ducts arid silver .was the only hope of relief from hard times, brought about by low . prices of farm - products, and they declared their purpose hereafter to ote for their interests m. common with the white farmer and laborer. Unfor tunately, a division' has sprung up be tween the white people on the money question, and the colored , man thinks he sees a chance to slip in and get con trol. , He thinks he sees the opportu nity he has sought for; hoped for and patiently waited for. He" has forgotten silver. 116 is heedless - of his material interest, and there is everywhere evi dent a fixed, purpose on his part to mar tial his vote, not for the yellow metal and not against the white metal, but against the white man. - j ' A leading colored man, who assisted the Democrats in lSUis and '1894, was heard to say to two other negroes a few days since, 'If the negroes will stand together this year we will be sure to get on top.' : That is the feeling and hope which this year will make the colored vote more solid in North Carolina than it has been Bince the dark days of 1863 At one time 1 thought 1 sw siens of a desire on the part of the colored peo ple to vote intelligently and to be in structed as to their best interest, and I always took pleasure in trying-to point out to them what t thought was to their interest. But, in his present frame of mind, what is the use ot ais cussing With him the questions which are dividing other men's minds? He is not thinking aboutnor caring about the benefits which -silver will be to him He is not thinking about nor caring about the wrongs which the gold stand ard has inflicted jupon bim ; b is jaot. thinking about nor caring about the justice of an income tax or a tariff for revenue ; he is not thinking about nor caring about the extortions of trusts and monopolies. lie has reached that point in his intellectual development when he can understand these things and their effect Uoon him and his in terest, but he has nut them aside and deliberately shut his mind to all consid eration of them. I know and the white people know what are now his thoughts and what is now his purpose He thinks he sees, in the oivisions which have unhappily come between the- white people of North Carolina on these questions, a chance, to . 'slip in and get on top.' Let me warn him of his mistake and danger. He will not 'get on top,' and if he does it will be the greatest misfortune that has ever hefallen -him. The day is hot come and will not come when the white peo ple of North Carolina will permit the rolored man to run over them. The Anglo-Saxon neck has never yet been bended to such yoke, rmusi decline to discilss to him these questions, be cause I have seen enough m this cam paign to convince me that I would be throwing away time to talk to him about i these things when I know his heart is set upon , one, thing only and that so horrible and repulsive that I could not trust myself to discuss it. Suffice it o say that the white people of North- Qarolina understand that the colored pian this year is voting to se cure race supremacy, and they will not be unmindful of the danger which threatens them and theirs when they vote in November. I am not drawing the color line, the colored man has already drawn it, and it is that fact, that 'danger, which I desire to impress upon the white people of this country ana oi North Carolina." : THE REAL ANARCHISTS.

HI Electoral Vote Is Certain to Be Not - J LesgTJian 879. , Chicago, Oct. 13. Senator Jones, of the Democratic National committee, characterized the table of the probable electoral vote, as given out last night by Senator Quay, as a ''gigantic bluff. " The, chairman pointed out that of all the States classed by Senator-Quay, as doubtful, only Tennessee and Virginia have no complete fusion of Democrats, The Senator also stated that of the States classed for McKinley there was complete fusion of all the silver forces, in , the - following: Illinois,. Indiana, Iowaj-Kansas Kentucky, Michigan. Minnesota. Nqrth. Dakota, .Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In thirty-two States- altogether, com-, plete fusion, had been effected of all the forces opposed to the gold .standard. , Chairman Jones gave out the follow ing table, showing the votes of the re spective candidates in the electoral Col lcge: , ; . - Y way, we" will another," he was laughed j Popilists and Silver Republicans. at; nut if we compare that utterance with Lauterbach's plainer ; and more distinct threat, we may get some idea of the real programme of the plutocrats and bondholders. -. -Hanna says" that iffeKiuley is' hot elected one way he will, be another. Coming from one who represents noth ing on the face of the earth but the selfishess of a private - syndicate which has paid McKinley 8 personal debts and is trying to "get even" this threat of force might amount to nothing; but when we see it duplicated in a more sol emn form by Mr. Edward Lauterbach, chairman of the republican committee of New York city, we are compelled to pause and inquire what the- plutocrats and bondholders mean. Do they intend to stir up revolution if McKinley is de feated? Is it their purpose to appeal to the forces of riot and anarchy in . order to seat their candidates in the white house? . . Having seen what Hanna says, let us see what Mr. Edward Lauterbach, of New York, a far more important person, says. Mr. i,auterrach made a speecn recently, from which we take the 'fol lowing gem: ' .. Theu, too, there is the pension ques tion. None of you here tonight wish to reduce the amounts we pay to the heroes who went forth to preserve the integrity of the country in '61. We don't want. to cut off the pensions we pay to the brave fellows who shed their life blood to save this country from this same southern gang then. We don't want to but off the income of the widows or the orphans of those men nor - of tht poor fellow who is a cripple today from the injuries he received at that time. That is an item that takes money. You are fighting today for just as important a principle as did those brave men in '61; but it is a bloodless tight. JNo blood will be sned-at least not yet, but if they attempt to subvert your supreme court, if they should succeed by any chance in foisting upon you the hor rible doctrines anarchistic, socialistic communistic which the platform adopted by tht populist convention con tains, we may not abide by that de cision. . ... Here, it will be observed, is the bloody shirt reeking with fresh gore. This same southern gang1'' which tried destroy the union is now trying to cut down the prohts of the pononoiaers - the men who have employed ,xlward Lauterbach to shriek in their behalf. It 13 ,a bloodies fight, Mr. Lauterbach savs at least no blood has yet been shed; but how soon will it be before the country is running with blood, if lau terbach's predictions come true? For what does this patriot sayT lie declares that if the people do not in dorse thccandidate of the money power at the polls, the bondholders and their agents may not abide by that decision. In other words, according to .Lauter bach, the money power will rpeal from the decision of the people a. the ballot box, to the power of monsy and the .force of arms. Aod he preaches'this traitorous doc trine in the east and is applauded. No wonder that John Most, the anarchist, is a gold bug!

One of the best 16-to-l stories is told by a Southern politician, says a Wash ington correspondent. During the can vas for election of delegates jto the national republican convention a white man and a colored man .were rivals for the honor of representing a certain dis trict. I The white aspirant was a silver man, while his colored oppdnent favored the gold standard. Presently the former started out on his electioneering tour. The party voters were nearly all colored men. "Boys, I am for free silver at 16 to 1, and that is what you need to have good times and plenty of money." This was the burden of his sorig where- Lever he" went. The colore! men want ed to know what 16 to 1 meant, and his reply was always ready. "It means. he explained, "sixteen silver dollars to every one of you 16 to 1, don't you see?" Inasmuch as $16 . was more money than the majority . of the poor fellows had ever seen programme pleased them immensely. To a man they shouted, "16 to 1," and the white can didate's cause prospered amazingly. But now the colored aspirant set Out od hiS electioneering tour. He followed up the trail of his rival. As soon as he dis covered the sort of doctrine his antagon ist had been preaching, he proceeded wittily to counteract its effect. "Don't let that honey-mouth white man fool yo" he shouted: "16 to 1 don't mean no $16 to every one obyo not at all. 1 II tell yo what it means, aixteen t one am a snare and a delusion. It means $16 to every white man and $1 for every nigger. The colored man was elected and went to St, Louis and voted for the gold standard. 05, I T has been held thut con-. fiumptipn is - hereditary, and the fact that one per son-ot a family had died with consump tion was considered a sure sign that i others of that family could not escape it. ' This is partly true and partljr untrue. A man with weak lung9 is likely to transmit that weakness to his children. . But there is no reason iu the world why the weakness shouldbe allowed to develop. There is no reason why the lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs predispose a child to consumption. They provide a place, for germs to settle. That is all that is necessary. Once let the germs of disease gain a foot-hold, and they in creas with a deadly rapidity. Pretty soon the- blood-is full of them, and so loses its healthfulness and its strength-giving quali ties. If the weakness is in some other organ, the disease will show itself in that organ. The germ9 will get into the blood, just the same, and the body will- begin to lose strength. We speak particularly of consumption because it is most common because it causes more than one-sixth of all deaths in the world. If there is a weak and crumbly spot in the foundation of a house, the owner clears out the decayfcg material, supplants it with new, strong stuff. That's all there is to do. That' 11 that's necessary. That is exactly the thing to do with the lungs.. Keep them full of rich, red, whole some blood, and the weakness will disap pear, Decayin? tissues will be thrown off, and 'new material will be added until the lungs are well and perfectly strong again. This the thing that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery does. This is what makes it cure 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption where it is taken according to directions. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be in the body- I ex terminates them completely aod forces them out of the system. It supplies the blood with rich, life-giving properties. It makes the appetite good, digestion perfect. It supplies the needed nutriment to all the tissues and makes souud, healthy flesh. There are some interesting facts about it told in one chapter of Pr.

From ten to twenty minutes as many crowded to hear Mr. Bryan, It is interesting to note the almost universal sui prise and admira tion from the masses who attend a Bryant meeting.

Salisbury World-I A World representative had the pleas-, ure of going through the new fcordage mill in which Salisbury capital is chiefly invested, at New London yesterday and was surprised at the magnitude of the works. .Mr. W7 M. Ivey, who has been managing the mill for some time, kindly showed us through the factory and explained the various processes through which tbe yarn must pass be fore it is conveited into rope in readi ness for the market. The machinery in a rope factory is not nearlyso com plicated as is that of our owo ;otton mills. The yarn from which the rope is made varies in size and is bought of the cotton mills in the vicinity of New Londou. f In this : mill', there are 154 machines from which five different sizes of rope are made. Sixty hands are employed when the mill runs on full time, as 1t usually does, and the en tire product is engaged by a New York house. When it is remembeied .that this is the Jarzdet cordage mill m trie South the disposition of its entire out put to one concern is quite a flattering testimonial to the quality of guous turned out. ' The average daily" output of the mill is 2,000 Jbs. After its manu facture the rope is packed m 600 'pound bales and shipped to Kew lork by the car load, it is a hustling in dustry, in the hands of enterprisingciti- zens, and New London is fortunate in having secured the location of this: in dustry. .in ' her territory. Its mlltrwiice in aiding the growth of JNew 'jLotioon will be sureand substantial as tho d:''8 g9 hy. ".V - -- '.
