Just now we are hearing about Democrats who will not .support Brvan. In a few days this will cease and we shall hear of Republi cans mat are repudiating luciviniey m nil I 1 There are some ot mem in mis county today. The rayetteville Observer says that Mr. Hale, of North Carolina, presented in the meeting of the platform committee at Chicago, the amendment to the labor plank, given in the corrected draft of the plat form. It was adopted after being seconded by W. J. Bryan. ASSOCIATE JUSTICES OF SUPREME COURT, A. U. AVERY, of Burke, GEO. II. BROWN, of Beaufort. CONGRESS FIFTH DISTRICT, W. W. KITCHIN, of Person. JUIXiE FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT, J. S. MANNING, of Durham. FOR ELECTOR FIFTH DISTRICT : ATJBRY L. BROOKS, of Person. Harold K. Sewall, Republican, son of the Democratic nominee for Vice President, says he will not vote for his father. The Republicans of the State seems to be trying to intimidate the negro voters. Congressman Linney in a speech declared that any negro who votes any other ticket than the Republican ought to be whipped. A good deal of the negro v. te is hide bound, but these threats will fall flat this year. The Times says that several prom inent negroes in Mocksville have openly stated that they would not vote for Judge Russell for Governor and they would do all in their power against him. They say they can not be "whipped into line1' and made to "swallow" a man who has openly nsulted their race. It is the desire and the hope of Democratic leaders in this State that Bryan shall make two speeches in North Carolina. The West and South are in the saddle and Senator Jones, of Arkan sas, Chairman of the National Ex ecutive Committee, is to guide them. The attitude of the Democracy of the State of New Y ork in the com ing Presidential campaign will be left for the State Convention to decide. It is understood in Wall street that the sound money Democrats have given up the idea of nominat ing a third ticket and will no doubt support McKinley. the administration campaign may be The course of in the coming pretty well understood from the ac tion of Secretaries Olney and Her bert of the cabinet, who have come out unqualifiedly as opposed to the Chicago nominees on the platforms enthusiastically accepted by Bryan and Sewall. A Western Democrat says that every "rich man that bolts the Chi cago ticket" makes hundreds of votes for it, because it confirms the belief that this is a fight of the rich man against the people, and when he rich denounce the ticket and de clare they will not vote it they are doing splendid service for Bryan. The mix-up in the political situ ation is curiously illustrated in Michigan. The Detroit Tribune, he leading Republican paper of the State, has bolted the St. Louis plat form and is supporting the free sil ver candidates, while the leading Democratic paper, the Free Press, bolts the Chicago platform and sup ports McKinley. The Bryan and free silver wave has struck the Northern States with tremendous force and the people are rapidly falling into line. The gold bugs haye become alarmed and are advising their followers to support McKinley, and therefore we urge every man in favor of free silver to support Bryan, the true and tried friend of the masses. The Augusta Chronicle remarks that the more the ticket is dis cussed the better the people like it." The more addresses the bankers of New lork send out against free silver and the ticket the more votes it will receive, and the hotter the masses will like it. Hurrah for W J. Bryan, the man who has stepped into the arena to save this country from the clutches of the money des pots ! The Silver Knight and Nationa Watchman, published at Washing ton City, come out squarely for Bryan and Sewall and says the Pop ulists can never say they tried pa triotism more than party if they fail to endorse them. Now they must stand shoulder to shoulder and fight the enemy everywhere, and further proclaims, let the Republican partv go as it is no friend to the Populist party and is the enemy of the mass es. What words of wisdom this journal utters, but we are sorry to say that many of our Populist friends delight to join them for spoils, and have no patriotism in their hearts. The Baltimore Sun, gold organ, which doesn't like what was done at Ch icago, chats sense when it savs: "Against Mr. Bryan personally nothing can be said. The Chicago a: i.i i i it cuh veuuii.-n couiu nave eieccea no man who was better fitted to lead the silver forces. Young, ardent and enthusiastic, he is precisely the soit of a man to head such a move ment." That's what they thought when they nominated him. The farmers of Granville are talk ing over the political situation witl greater interest and zeal than they have since 1876. And the farmers who are the men who feel most tin effects caused by laws bearing on the finances, are deliberating among themselves the issues that are pre sented today, and they will be ready no doubt, to vote intelligently on election day. Unfortunately th banker, and not the producer, has been given the big ears of corn at all the national feasts that have been spread out for many years past. PANACEA WATErt Sold by the bot tie or case, also at 5 cents a glass by J, G. HAL THE OUTLOOK. Indeed the future looks bright for the Democrats. "All that is needed novy .is.fpr all of our good people to unite oni free silver and our grand standard-bearer, Lplain W. J. Bryan, and do energetic and systematic work, placing abiding faith in the imperishable principles of the party as existed prior to 1873. North Carolina must be redeemed from'the clutches of a band of of fice seekers, who by fusion carried the State at the last election, and divided out the spoils among them selves, and this crowd is working night and day to accomplish the same thing this year. The Repub licans have already nominated a skeleton ticket headed by Russell, one of the meanest" and most un scrupulous men within the borders of our State, and if elected would bring disaster and disgrace to our Commonwealth. He must be de feated at all hazard, and for the love of our State, our homes and fire sides and good government we trust the good men in the Populist party will not aid in putting this "arch slanderer and debaser of his State" in the Executive chair. Consider the matter well before vou take such a step, remembering, as many do, the dark damnable days of 18G8 and 1870, when Ephriam in all his glory had cushioned seats at the pie counter in every nook and corner of North Carolina, running the State millions of dollars in debt. No better or truer man can be found within our borders than Cy V atson, who m heart and soul is for the masses, and it is the duty of eyery true lover ot gooa govern ment and economical administration of public affairs to work and vote for him for Governor. In the county the Democrats can secure success u a gooa ticKet is agreed upon, as the people must and should be tired of the Republican ring in the court house, aided by such miserable negro henchmen as Rev. William Royster, S. B., and Bill Crews, the great chief in the Colored Wigwam. The Public Ledger does not believe in wasting ammunition before the battle be- o i n n gins, it we nave our magazine lull to overflowing, but at the proper time it will be found as heretofore in the forefront of the fight battling to rid our people of the miserable set of pie counter hoppers that now i i i are tne crowning sname upon the people of the county. The Democracy of this county plainly seeing the several causes that haye contributed to Democratic defeat should meet soon in council and adopt some measures that will remedy this deplorable condition of affairs. Yes, we say deplorable, for such it is when a negro henchman is allowed to deliberately starve poor prisoners in jail, brutally treat them, if they complain, in order that he may put as much money as possible into the soup plate on the pie counter. To remedy the eyils there must be unity and harmony of purpose among those who are sick and tired of negro domination around the court house made so by our own race for political purposes. The first consideration must be for the interest of the people of the county. After that the question of candi dates for the different offices will present itself, and reason and mod eration must prevail and we believe all will be well. What the party needs now is thorough organization. Unfortu nately in the past the course pur sued has been to nominate a ticket . mi and then organize, inis is a wrong method. It should be organization first and nomination afterward; in time of peace prepare for war. A good organization can materially in fluence the nomination, but it must be done with a view for the good of the party, not of any individual can didate or set of candidates. The county committee as the rec ognized central authority should be organized at once and take this mat ter up, carefully consider the situa tion and formulate a plan of organi Ail XT zation tor tne campaign. Having outlined its work the prominent and influential members ot the party should extend material assistance and aid the county committee in every way possible until the rank and file can be properly reached and brought into co-operation. There is sufficient brain in the party to accomplish these objects; let it be set in motion. It behooves all good Democrats to cease abusing one another. Epi thets are not arguments. The elec tion is nearly four months away and in that time all the various ques tions can be discussed calmly, sober ly and honestly. The Democratic party is passing through a ternble crisis, one that threatens the life of that grand old organization which has done so much for the country. Out of chaos will come order, out of dark ness will appear light. Let us be patient and all will be well. POPULIST CAN SUPPORT DEMO CRATIC TICKET. We reiterate an opinion expressed twice in these columns, says Char lotte Observer, within the last six weeks, that if the free silver people of this country concentrate their votes upon the nominee of the Chicago convention they can elect him. If they divide, Mr. McKinley will be elected. This proposition is so plain a one -that it needs no more argument than the other. Not enough Democrats will vote for Mr. Bryan to elect him. A great many will vote for Mr. McKinley and a great many more will not vote at all we had just as well look facts in the face and while telling the truth tell it all. If. however, the great bulk of Democratic vote, which he will undoubtedly receiye, is supplemented by the votes of those who have been proclaiming silver is above party, he will occupy the White House on the 4th of next Liarch and this is the only chance under heaven to install a free silver man there at that time. No rational man believes that a Populists, en dorsed or not by the Free Silver party, or a Free Silver cand date, running upon this issue alone, and endorsed or not by the Populists, can be elected. The situation, then, reduces itself to this. The free silver people can combine upon Brvan. free silver and low tariff man, with a strong leaning toward if not a declared belief in the gov ernment ownership of railroads, and elect him; or they can run a candi date of their own and by throwing away their votes on him elect McKinley, a gold standard man and high protectionist. The free silver men of the country who profess a great attachment for silver than for party hold the balance of power in this presidential contest and have the game in their hands. They can support the national Democratic ticket this year we are speaking now more particularly of the Popu- ists and maintain their consis tency as Bryan is an acceptable can didate on it. If we can get their attention we would like to lay the above plain proposition before the Populist masses before their leaders and til Ti '11 newspapers get tneir ear. it win be argued to them, of course, that Bryan and the Democratic party are not sincere in their advocacy of free silver but how else, we ask, can they hope to get it excepted through these ? The question is submitted, in kindness and candor, to honest men who are sincere in their desire for free coinage and who have been told, over and over again, that party is nothing as compared with the cause. The candidates are Bryan, free silver; McKinley, gold standard; and the election of one or the other of these is inevitable. Will you vote for Bryan and help elect him or will you vote for some one else and thus help elect McKinley? All the talking and writing that can be done between now and Novem ber cannot shift the argument from this point. One thing is sure, says the Char lotte Observer. There has been no such enthusiasm for McKinley since his nomination as has greeted Bryan on all sides since he was declared the nominee of the Chicago conven tion. His journey to Salem, III., and thence to Lincoln, Neb., has been a triumphant march all the a way. 'I have never had a dy's sickness lu my life." said a middle-aged man the other day. "What a comfort it would be," sighs some poor Invalid, "to be in his place for a year or two " Yet half of the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he, if they would only taRe proper care oi tnem se ves. eat proper food and digest it. It's so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health Food makes health. It makes strength and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his. fhaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and will make you strong and healhy by making the food you eat make you fat.

Bryan, will receive the support of Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, there can be no longer any doubt. Mr. Bryan received a letter from Senator Teller, in which he assured him that he would sup port him in his race for President. The letter received reads as follows: "Denver, Col., July 18, 1896. "Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.: - "Dear Sir: I congratulate you on your nomination at Chicago. I think the country is to be congrat ulated also. I need hot assure you that your nomination was more than satisfactory to me. I think we shall be able to consolidate all the friends of free silyer in your support, and if we do this, I believe you will be elected, although I do not overlook the tremendous power that will be put against us in this campaign. All the power of money and organized wealtn and monopo lies of all kinds will be against us. Justice is on our side, and this is . n i t w i the cause ot tne people, it is a contest for industrial imdependence and for freedom from the domina tion of foreign powers and capital ists, and it does not seem possible in such a contest before the American people that justice should fail, and wrong prevail. I do not believe we shall fail. I think I can promise you the cordial support of the Western silver men, who have here tofore acted with the Republican party, and it you get that, I think all the Western coast and inter mountain States will be with you, and 1 will not offer any suggestion to you, saye to advise you that as you were nominated without pledges of favor or privilege to any one, that you maintain that position and make no pledges or promises, so that you may go into the great of fice of President of the United States without the embarrassment that follows pledges and promises, even if they are such as may prop erly be carried out. It will afford me pleasure to place myself at the disposal of the National committee to make speeches in your behalf, as my health will permit, where and when they may think I may do good. I am, very respectfully, H. M. Teller." 1 -cOOKSTQWli MADE FROM PURE p,G ,B Not one pound of Scran t. Is ever nsed in thesa?
