On Cctober 19th, we, the Democratic Young Ladies of High Point, formed a c'ub, which we agreed to call "The Young Ladies' Democratic Club," our purpose being to do all we can to fur ther democracy v consistent to a wo man's sphere and a daughter of the South. We hope to have all the dem ocratic young ladies of the town to be come members, and we even hoped, and still hope, to hear of other clubs being formed in the State. We have met with opposition, as we expected. Some will not become mem bers, saying, "Women have no busi ness meddling in politics." I am a true Southern woman and it is for this reason I have become a member of the Democratic Club. Un til this year I felt very little interest in politics, and yet I am no believer in a woman becoming a politician. How ever, there are things within a woman's sphere she can co without overstep ping the dignity of a true woman and a daughter of the south. And it is these things we propose to do with real zeal born in every southern heart. We have no intention of going to the polls fighting or talking politics ; nor do we expect to vote. We might form every lady in the state into a club and we could not vote, nor do we wish to. That is a man's place :vr.d to him today comes the cry from a.i er the Old North State to save her Iwm dishonor. How can any man with the sta is sue that of "White Supremacy," -'t.- anything but the democra'ic tic . He can't do it. Any one voting the fusion ticket when their wives and daughters are calling to them for help; all we have to say for such a one is : "God made him for a man, therefore let him pass." But if he votes that ticket, let him go with those he votes for not with the fair daughters of the dear Sunny South. To the men of North Carolina do we appeal for help. Just in sight of land is a ship, upon whose prow are the words, "White Supremacy." The waves are dashing high and the ship is tossing upon the mighty deep. The people upon the shore are watching anxiously the course of the mighty ship. When the signal of distress comes from over the raging deep, they listen, the signal is repeated again and again. Who will be the first to volunteer? A man cries out: "Come! save the ship! Our wives and chil dren are on board." Men of North Carolina, today you see the great ship of "White Suprem acy" tempest-tossed upon great waves of Fusionism ! Your wife and chil dren are calling for protection ! Stop and listen ! A member of the "Young Ladies' Dem ocratic Club." High Point, October 27, 1898. One of Thacker & Brockmann's cus tomers wore a pair of their $2.50 Har vard Goodyear welt shoes eighteen months. These shoes are wide and easy, made with think sole, are made congress and laced, all sizes from 5 to 11. "THERE WILL BE NO PEACE As Ling as a Single County Is Rulci by Negroe," KITCHIfVS TRUE DECLARATION. The White Republicans Will Share the Responsibility Equally with the Wilmington Negroes. Long before 7:30 o'clock last night the court house was packed by the lar gest and most intelligent audience that has greeted any speaker here since the campaign began. People eager for seats brought benches from the grand jury room and placed them inside the bar, and men eager to hear the young orator rushed over each other in their efforts to reach them. When all the seats had been taken the aisle was packed with standing men who were determined to hear the speech of our present and future congressman. Shortiy after 7.30 Congressman Kitchin appeared at the door, escorted by Mayor Zeb V. Taylor. No sooner was he seen by the crowd than a deaf ening cheer, in which every man in the audience seemed to be doing his best, broke forth and continued until the 1 speaker was seated on the rostrum. Mayor Taylor paused for the mighty wave of app'ause to cease, but it .? i : s coDUuueu io increase iu viuicuce uu he stepped forward and held up his hands for silence. When quiet was restored the mayor, in a few choice words, introduced to the audience the already familiar Hon. W. W. Kitchin. Mr. Kitchin arose amid another pro longed cheer and thanked the audience for the enthusiasm they had already shown. He began his speech by say ing : "Fellow citizens and ladies: I wish Judge Adams were here tonight. The fact that he is not here Is not attribu table to myself. If that distinguished republican who was my opponent two years ago were my opponent now, we would be having a joint canvass of this district. Mr. Settle was, in my opinion, the choice of the republican forces, but the nominating convention was controlled by republican leaders. The chairman of that convention was a white man: the secretary was a ne gro: there were twelve white and twelve negro delegates. Settle was placed in nomination by a white man and re ceived a majority of the white votes. Adams was placed in nomination by a negro and received a majority of the negro vot. I challeng.-d Judge Ad ams for a joint canvass. He refused and determined not to have it." The speaner read a number of letters which he had written Judge Adams and the one reply he had received. "For twelve years Adams has given his support in electing negroes to office in Caswell county, and is giving it to elect the republican county ticket with negroes this year." Thj speaker then took up his record fn Congress. He told how he voted and repudiated Adams' statements that he voted for a void-bug speaker of the House. He voted for Bailey , of Texas, the leader of the silver forces in the House. He voted against the Dingley tariff. He asked that the Fraud Fund be abolished The speaker said, '"I have some ne roies in this district who are charging that 'Kitchin brought oa the war.' In McKinley's administration the Lord brings all the bad things and McKin ley all the good. During Cleveland's administration everything bad was brought on by him cyclones, floods and everything else. It has been charged that Cleveland brought on the Charleston earthquake." Finishing his record and actions in Congress he announced that he would discuss State issues. The speaker tried to make no sensa tional speech. He merely stated the facts as they stand so prominently in the eastern counties and requested that the audience should not interrupt him by their applause, as two speeches a day for several weeks had made it hard for him to speak at all. He made stir ring allusions to the domination of negroes in the eastern part of the state and, in spite of his request, the audi ence frequently lost control of itself and applauded to the echo. The speaker said : "Russell may proclaim and Pritchard may write to McKinley and his chain, but there will be no peace as long as a -single good county in North Carolina is under ne gro domination. The white republi can of Guilford will share of the re sponsibility equally with the ignorant negro of Wilmington. The indications are that I will beat Adams twice as badly as I bfeat Tom Settle and that you will carry Guilford county by a good majority." The close of the speech was affecting and touching. He urged all white men to stand together and throw off the yoke of negro' domination in east ern North Carolina peaceably. The divorce incident was a grand climax for so noble and telling an effort by a man of unsurpassed ability and unim peachable honor. Every hearer . was more than eve-!: convinced of Kitchin's honesty and unfailing integrity and of his eminent fitness for the exalted position of our people's representative in congress.

'V RIBOT A PROMINENT FIGURE On the Ministerial Lists Court of Cessation, to Decide on Revision of Dreyfus Case, Opened Today. By Cable To The Telegram. PariB, Oct. -27 Nothing definite is ye settled in connection with the for mation of the new ( French cabinet. The air, however, i9 full of ministerial lists in which the name of Ribot figures prominently. He is said to be favor able to the candidate of Elysee palace, and it is generally believed that Pres ident Faufe will appeal to him to form a cabinet of republican concentration with Del Casse remaining in the for eign offices. Such a cabinet would nr.t oppose a revision of the Dreyfus trial. Ribot has always been regard ed as being favorable to a reopening of the case. THE COURT OF CESSATION, i Paris, Oct. 27. The court of cessa tion, which is to decide upon the ques tion of re-opening the Dreyfus case, opened at noon. The hall was crowd ed, but there was no demonstration around the palace. The gates were closed, however, as a matter of pre caution, and only holders of ticketr, were admitted. Spectators outside were keptmovirg. Labori, Zola's counsel. was a prontinent spectator. Mme. Drewfus was provided a seat, and the case was dalled promptly. Reporter Bard opened the proceed ings, by referring to the excitement and scandals the case had caused. He spoke of the efforts to obtain a revis ion based on the suspicion that the borderaux was written by Esterhazy, and pointed out that there were sus picious facts which justified-a revision. Mme. Dreyfus claimed that her hus band did not writ3 the bordereaux, -but the court would have to examine into the facts. She said that Col. Henry's forgery of a confession was evidence which left the forger open to suspicion and formed ground, in fact, for a re vision. A Political Scrap. John Sumner, a white painter, and three negroes got into a political dis cussion in South Greensboro this morning, and, of course, had to ffght to settle it. John must have been a democrat, for it is said the way he carved up those three negroes was a caution. He used a knife that cut as bad as John Wilson's arguments cut Bradshaw. When the fight -was over the boys thought of the police and the whole push left town. Receiver Appointed.

Lowell, Oct. 27. Prentiss Webster, a nephew of General Butler, died last night. Not Paid Yet. One of the very lasting memories of the summer outing of Russell's Braves, the Third North Carolina Regiment, colored, at Fort Macon, last summer, is that the bills for Russell's excur sionists, most of them, still remain un paid. y' The merchants of Beaufort, More- head and New Berne, have on their books it is estimated, at least five thousand dollars, which the govern ment owes them for supplies furnished these colored oaraders, who were as unornamental as they were useless. The merchants who furnished these sunnlies made very small profits on j A . their goods in the first place, and this delay in payment will make them losers by the transaction. There is no e-ood reason why these accounts should not be settled and at ence. Newbern Journal. Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Brbmo Quinine Tab lets.
