Well, we editors will make mis
takes some times, and hence we are
called upon to say thatj our infor

worthy young people would get

to be a mistake. We hope thev will
not think hard of the old man and
in case they should in future cast
their lots together, may peace, ioy

Cure for Ileadacbe.
As a remedy for all forms of headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the very
best. It effects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick headaches
yield to its iuliuence. We urge all who
are .lliicted to procure a bottle, and give
this remedy a fair trial. In cases of ha
bitual constipation Electric Bitters cures
by giving the needed tone to the bowels,
and few cases lone resist the use of this
medicine. Try it once. Large bottles
only 50 cents at J. G. Hall's drug store
Democrats Be Consistent.
The Rep-Pops have drawn the line
and insist that no Democrat shall
smell anything in the way of reaping
benefit from their victory. A Dem
ocrat was not summoned as a juror
during the court until the list of Rep
and Pops was "rehausted," as Cuffy
Mayo, of the old 'GS 7G negro rule
day would say in making a great
speech. When the Reps and Pops
were married by Bishop Maryann
Butl er, assisted by "Revs." Rutledge
P. Hughes and Glaude Allen, of the
two wings in Granville, they said:
"Get thee behind me principles as it
is now anything to beat the Demo
crats." And they did it.
In the campaign they preached
the abolishment of system of county
government, while the Democrats
fought hard to preserve a white
man's government, but they got beat
and will have to submit to negro
magistrates, negro commissioners
and otner blacK rule tnat tne com
bine will place upon their necks.
The negroes are happy, and white
anything in the way of reaping any
Reps, along with their new edition
are gloating over the victory. In the
face of all this it is a source of great
surprise to all good Democrat to see
how member of their party, who have
stood by them all these years in bat
tling to keep down negro rule, can
get the consent of their minds to go
on Republicans bonds, thus lending
aid and encouragement to the party
that pledged their followers at night
meetings to vote against every inter
ests of the white people of thiscoun
try7. The leaders in older that they
might get office showed that they
were willing to place the yoke of
black rule upon trie white people of
this county and State.
We believe in Democrats being
Democrats, and if we voted against a
man for an office and we were as
rich as Vanderbilt we would not
think of going on his bond. To go on
a Republicans bond is far better for
him than going to the polls and work
ing and voting for him, and in the
face of all the circumstances we can
not see how any Democrat can be
consistent and true to the principles
he has fought for, and turn right
round and go on the bond of his po
litical enemy that he did all he could
te defeat and will use his office to
destroy the Democratic party.
Miss Flora Dowell, a beautiful
young lady about 18 years old. was
burned to death Sunday evening,
at her home near Morrisville. Her
clothing caught on fire. All the
members of the family were away
attending a burial. All of her
clothing was burned from her body.
She lingered a few hours and death
relieved her suffering. It was in
deed a horrible sight.

vote cast is 276,027. Two years ago
the total vote was 270,500. The

great as was thought. Justice

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.)
.Outgoing and Coming In-
Col. W. A.
Bobbitt.
Charles F. Crews, the Democratic
Register of Deeds, has given his bond
and entered upon his duties as suc
cessor of J. A. Norwood, Republican.
Mr. Crews is one of the intelligent
and popular young men of the coun-
i ty, and is the son of the late James
B. Crews, who was well known to the
people as a most obliging gentleman.
The son has inherited the obliging
disposition of his father and we are
sure will make a first-class Register
of Deeds.
In office of Superior Court Clerk J.
M. bikes, Republican, bus succeed
ed Col. W. A. Bobbitt. The Colonel
is a Democrat, and oue of the most
influential men in the countv. H
made a flattering run and his great
influence on the ticket helped all the
democratic candidates. He is un
doubtedly possessed of commanding
ability as a campaigner, and but for
the fact of the great odds against him
he would have been triumnhantlv
elected. Mr. Sikes is well qualified
to make a good clerk, and we are
sure will make an efficient officer.
Capt. A. S. Peace, Pop Rep., was
re-elected Treasurer, though his com
petitor. It. W. Lassiter, Democrat,
made a splendid race which showed
that he had a great many warm
friends in the county.
W. S. Cozart was re elected sheriff
and therefore succeeds himself. As
Sheriff he has given general satis
faction, and though differing from
him in politics we have naught to say
against him, either personally or as
oue of the officials of the county. He
is quite a successful farmer, is a
worthy gentleman, and we regret
that he is not a good Democrat.
The combination of Reps and Pops
in Granville was brought about by
the leaders of the two parties, and
yet the Republicans do not favor the
demands of the former, and have al
ways been on the side of gold stand
ard, and were responsible for trusts.
It was anything with them to beat
the Democrats if they did bring ne
gro tule upon their heads.
For rheumatism I have found nothihg
