FOR REPRESENTATIVE FIFTH DISTRICT, AUCUSTUS VV. GRAHAM, OF GRANVILLE. FOR SOLICITOR FIFTH DISTRICT, E. S. PARKER, OF ALAMANCE. COUNTY TICKET. FOR TIIE SENATE : AUBKY L. BROOKS, of Person County. For House of Representatives : WALLER L. TAYLOR, A. A. LYON. For Sheriff: E. C.HARRIS. For Clerk Superior Court: WILLIAM A. BOBBITT. For Register of Deeds: CHARLES F. CREWS. For Treasurer : ROBERT W. LASSITER. For Coroner : JaMES A. RENN. For Surveyor : P.LOUNT E. GREEN. For Township Constable: D. A. MOORE. The man who deserts the Demo cratic party because it hasn't given him an office, was never much of a Democrat. lie lias mistaken spoils for principles. No one will regret more the loss of Democratic control of the House, should such an event occur, than the stay-at-home Democrats and those who vote the Populist ticket. You cannot afford to have a Pop ulist Legislature, for such a Legis lature would be a notice to the world that North Carolina was a State for capital and business to keep away from. Don't yield to any pressure that seeks to persuade you to scratch the regular Democratic ticket. W should present a solid unbroken front to the enemy in this contest for good government. All indications point to the elec tion of the entire Democratic ticket on Tuesday next by very decided majorities, but this fact should not influence a single Democratic vo ter to remain away from the polls. It is especially important this election that Democrats should come to the polls. This is by far the most important election since '70 for North Carolina. The wel fare of your county, your State and even the Nation may depend on your vote iu the coming election. The Democratic campaign has been an infinitely more manly one having been open and above board continuously for the last five weeks Having nothing to say that they do not believe and cannot support, they have said their say plainly and without any fear of successful refu tation or any trickery of any kind. Down with the mongrels and up with Democracy and pure government. No matter what our private opin ion may be, there can be no deny ing of the fact that the element of public opinion which gives to any country its stability, is dead set against any section dominated by Populist control. Let every conservative Third party man in Granville ask himself this question : Is Dodger Settle the man they want to represent them in Con gress as Dr. Merritt ain't in it ? Let every one of them take that question off to himself and turn it over. The Democratic party reduces the tax upon the necessities and places it upon such luxuries as the incomes of the wealthy. The Re publican party taxes necessities and lets the incomes of the rich go free. Which is the friend to the poor man? Any one who votes for Dummy Dr. Merritt will help to elect dodger Settle. According to orders from Boss Butler A. S. Peace not only nominated Merritt for Congress but nominated By mini, Republican, for Solicitor, and any thin g-to-beat-a-Democrat John Elliott assisted in the glorious work to beat an honest man like Gus Graham and elect such a man as Dodger Settle to Congress- Every effort should be put forth in behalf of every candidate on the ticket and if the closing days of the canvass are so characterized, Demo cracy will be sure to win. We should deserve success by faithful work as it is merited by the Demo cratic candidates and if every Dem ocrat will go to the polls and cast his vote for the Democratic candi dates an old fashioned victory will be won. At this stage of the campaign, three days before the election, it looks as if the Democrats would carry both branches of the Legisla ture with the Senate a good deal closer than the House, and as if they would elect eight and perhaps nine Congressmen. But to accom plish these results unremitting work will be necessary and until election no Democrat should permit himself to rest, says an exchange. The Reidsyille Review says that Mr. P. H. Williamson was in Cas well county recently and says the ladies in that county are working for Graham. One good dame told Mr. W. that she wanted to see Mr. Graham elected because he was such a domestic man; that he milked the cows and made himself handy about the house, and she thought such rare virtues in a man should be richly rewarded. We say with all our heart that the people cannot vote for a better man. Democratic voters should be on their guard. The Rep-Pop mana gers are in desperate straits and they will resort to trickery to win what theycannot win by fair means. Take no stock in their stories of disaffection or treachery in the Dem ocratic ranks. These stories are circulated to draw attention from the weakness of their cause. Take no stock in the night before election canards. Go to the polls and vote for the Democratic candidates and see that yonr neighbors do likewise. Let every Third party man in old Granville remember that J. M Sikes is a great advocate for fusion for revenue only. He is candidate for Superior Court Clerk on Republican ticket slying trying to take votes away from W. P. Lyon, the Third party candidate. Keep your eye on slippery Sikes, but if you desire to be with the procession vote for Col. W. A. Rohbitt who is bound to be the winner in the race. He has un doubtedly made you an excellent officer, ranking among the very best in the State. His office has been conducted in a business like manner and every cent passing thro1 his hands has been accounted for which his books will show and So licitor of the district will certify to as it is his sworn duty to examine the books. Vote for Bobbitt for he will be a winner in the race. WAKE UP DEflOCRATS ! The Populists think the Demo crats are not enthusiastic, and that because of this supposed apathy and neglect,if they (the Populists) will win the election. We are glad to see that the Democrats are waking up to the great importance of this election, and when Democracy tries she always wins. Wake up, fellow Democrats, wake up! Every interest that you hold dear is at stake in this election. Your wife, your children, your home, your liberty, all are involved in it. Wherever this fusion crowd has gotten control, strife, confusion and trouble have quickly followed. Rally 'round the Democratic flag, boys! A FIGHT FOR LIBERTY. In view of all the great and over shadowing danger that threatens the very existence of every home in our grand old State and county it is the plain and imperative duty of every true and loyal citizen, wherever op portunity at the polls is offered to place his seal of condemnation upon the dangerous doctrines and principles of the Third party and its allies the Socialist and Anarchist. If you believe in such doctrines just go to the polls Tuesday and vote the rag-tag and bob-tail Thiidite leg islative ticket composed of Dr. A. J. Dal by, Sumac Archie Gregory and W. 11. Lyon and Dummy Merritt for Congress. Populism is Anarchy. Populism withers enterprise. Populism stops industry. Populism makes an end of credit. Populism is stagnation, desolation and death. DEMOCRATIC DUTY. Tuesday next will be election day and it is of the very greatest importance that the Democratic vote in the county is brought to the polls. It is important not only with respect to the present canvass, which many are inclined to look up on as of little consequence because of its being in what is called an off year in politics, but with respect to the influence the result will have on future campaigns. There is little doubt of the election of the ticket by good majorities, neverthe less, the victory will be rendered doubly emphatic by having a full vote polled and H should be the business of every Democrat to see that his neighbor gets out to the polls and votes. The ticket is made up of representative men, fairly nominated by the party's representa tives in convention assembled and they should receive the vote of ev ery Democrat in the county, not on ly because they are worthy and en titled to loyal support, but because an old fashioned victory next Tues day will make success in future elec tions so much easiei. Indifference this year, with but small majorities for the candidates, will encourage the opposition to make a more de termined fight next time and with a much better show of success, in part at least, than though the full strength of the party is recorded in this campaign. It is with these bearings, on future results in view that we urge united effort on the part of every Democratic voter in the county to elect the present tick et. Jealousies, disappointments and indifference, if any there be, should be laid aside and honest, energetic work done by every Democrat from now until the closing of the polls on the Gth day of November, to make the election an emphatic one. Confidence in the election of the en tire ticket should not cause a single voter of the party to remain away from the polls on Tuesday. Bring out every vote and see that the bal lots are properly recorded. Party pride and the future supremacy of the part7 in the government of the county, if nothing else, should awa ken fresh interest on the part of every voter and influence him to do his utmost to make Tuesday's ver dict a grand one. Let this be done and the result can easily be pre dicted. If you want to see our Insane, Deaf and Dumb, Blind and Orphan Asylums suffer for means to proper ly care for the unfortunate people of our State just vote the Third party ticket ! WHERE NEXT. The good honest farmers who al iowed Marion Butler to lead them from the Farmer's Alliance into the Third party and have now al lowed their boss to sell them body and soul to the Radicals are wonder ing what will become of them next election. Probably by that time the "Boss" may have become "chummy" with his Satanic majesty and per suade his dupes to strike up a fusion with the powers of darkness. Yru old Democrats, who have left the fold, how do you like your new bed fellows ? Haven't you had warning that the "Publicans" would gobble you up as soon as you left the good old party that has always stood be tween North Carolina and ruin. TAKE CARE OF THE LEGISLATURE The Wilmington Messenger says: Do not allow the Rad-Pop gang of conspirators to seize the Legislature. Keep them out. Vote them out and into obscurity. Remember, that County Government is at stake, and that means the prosperity and peace of twenty-seven counties. Remem ber that by the present system there has been a vast saving to the people. If you abolish County Government you open wide the floodgates of ini quity and robberj7. You will in crease expenditures and hand over the County Commissioners, Board of Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction in all the coun ties to the keeping of the set of in capables who are so corrupt as to openly barter away their principles to "beat the Democrats." Watch the Legislature. Elect good, worthy, intelligent men who will do right, and help on North Carolina in the way of improvement in many ways. BEWARE DEMOCRATS ! But four days of the present polit ical campaign remains. A few po litical hucksters, who unless they can rule will ruin, are now at work circulating defamatory insinuations as to county commissioners putting on 7 cent tax extra when the record show under Democratic rule that the tax rate for 1894 is less instead of increased. The next thing they are trying to cast reflections upon the official record of Colonel W. A. Bobbitt, Superior Court Clerk and candidate for re-election as well as that of other Democratic candidates. These attempts to create a sentiment against our officials and other gen tlemen on the Democratic ticket will continue until election day, but the authors have not the moral courage to do so oyer their own signatures Nor to make an open, manly charge hence can have no effect upon those who would resent a cowardly attack upon reputable citizens and officials. The Democratic ticket is composed of men of high character. They are representative men of their respec tive localities which they hail from and every Democrat should put forth every effort during the few days left in getting every voter in line for the ticket. The character and record of the Democratic candidates will bear comparison, and we trust that no self-respecting white man will be persuaded to vate against them and help elect a few disgruntled, unscrup ulous demagogues like Dal by, Peace, Sumac Archie, J. T. Cozart, Billy Brown & Co. who have sold out to the Republicans for the purpose of doing anything in the world to beat the Democrats, overthrow our sys tem of. county government and elect Mary an n Butler to United Senate. If you want to see our present ex cellent system of county govern ment uprooted and destroyed and have negro commissioners, vote for Dal by, Sumac Gregory and Lyon as they are pledged to vote for its ab olishment according to the deal But ler made with the Republicans ! If we had a Republican board of county Commissioners you would have never heard of peculation of Capt. R. P. Hughes and some $300 would have been a dead loss to taxyayers. In the name of right and justice put your prejudices behind you and help save your county government. There are no party ties to keep every decent Republican and Popu list from repudiating the fusion trade made between Dodger Settle and Maryann Butler. NEW ADNERTISEMENTS WE CARRY for Bii Prices ANb High AveRages! You can just bet we are ready for the new cron, which we are proud to v has started off at most satisfactory prices.

"Gene" Crews will charm the bids from tiie buyers and a competent book-keeper will pay you off immediately upon the sale of your last pile and thus allowing you to leave for home without vexatious delays .
