C., April 27tb, 1898 We have no doubt but that it will be- pleasant news to the many friends and admirers in Person countv of A L. Brooks to learn that he will i be a candidate before the Judicial : Convention for the nomination of - Solicitor. He was in town last week and informed us of his candidacy, and said he -hoped to get a good report from his native county when they elected their delegates. M r. Brooks deserves something at the hands of the Democratic party in , this district jfor his manly conduct two years ago. He was nominated for Presidential Elector, and after he had entered the campaign the State Committee decided to co-operate with the Pop- , ulists on the National ticket and Mr. Brooks very gallantly came down and gave way to Mr. Merritt who ; was the Populist candidate. There has been no fighting yet with the Spaniards, but the Ameri can fleet has captured several yessels belonging to Drivate individuals of J Spain, and we must say that we en dorse the following from the Raleigh Post on this subject: f "We must confess that we have not rejoiced upon hearing that our ' navy had captured this "vessel of the euemy" loaded with lumber, and .that schooner loaded with some other commodity, strictly not coo- trabaud of war, and the property of ; private individuals. It is legitimate, of course, to seize any property of the enemy, bui we do think that j j. strictly private property should not f be taken. Let us avoid Weylerism :and Sheridism in this war. THE PRIMARIES SATURDAY. 5" Person county Democrats will hold p ;.iheir township primaries next Satur day, at which time they will elect delegates to. the County Convention, which will meet in the court house II ;in Roxboro, on Saturday, May the v ' 7th. This .vill be an important meet. ;X ing, and should be a representative . one, every township should send its . ; , very best men to this convention. : "The County Convention will elect delegates to the State, Judicial and u Congressional Conventions. Now if i we have a full and representative ! County Convention our'delegations to the other 'conventions will be a .representative one, and we will have - no need of complaint in future, ifv - If our people will unite their ef : for ts, and throw aside all predjudice ; ,we can redeem North Caroli n from "! the corrupt and disgraceful manage ' v ment which has been in control for seyeral years past. It does seem to us 'that the conservative people of l$M-ttie StHtefhaye had enough to com , pletely disgust them with the way v uur affairs of State haye been man ' aged. The only remedy for this, is V for the white people to come togeth er "and overthrow- this corrnpt ad-i i ministration, and tb us place, North ii;Garplina bacKto her rightful posi ' tibn'in the , Democratic columnar whei e for twenty years she enjoyed a peaceful and progressive eraseiB dom seen in any commonwealth. The Democrats of Person county, as well as those of the State, are ready and anxious to give a cordial welcome in their primaries and conventions to eyery white voter in the County,and would be glad to have them come in and take part, in those conventions. Don't forget to go to the prima ries Saturday, and send up the best men you have as delegates to the County Convention. It will be the first gun of the campaign. . AYER'S ASTOUNDING NERVE. State Auditor Ayer, who owes his present oflfice to the Republicans, and who ought, in decency to give some loyalty to them, is willing for fusion they all'call it "co-opera tion" with the Democrats this year. He has given out an inter view on the subject and it is inter esting to note the terms' on which he is willing to fuse. They are that the Democrats take the six judges whose terms expire this year, an u four Congressmen, and agree not to interfere in 1900 with the Popu list nominees for such as the Populist now have. The Populist are to have five Congressmen and the Democrats are to surmort Populist candidates for the Legislature, as may be agreed upon. Now mark you, of the four nonsressioual districts two are Re n nublican and ReDublicans will be i - . elected in them this year. Mark you again,a congressional salary is twice that of a iudtre, so. that if there is to be a "divide" on a money basis and that is all it means one Congressman is worth two judges. Su this proposition of Auditor Ayer nroyes again that your Populist politician never eets left on a trade. States ville Landmark. Becoming Conservative. The Richmond Times tells" how it "4 ' " is there. . Those who were loudest in clam- oringfor war are, as a rule, gradual ly coming to th conwlusion that fighting is not such a good .thing after all. The men who took such tjreat delight in denouncing the President and Congress for delaying action, are not rushing, forward to volunteer to so to Cuba. Nor have those who burued the President in effigy offered to fight the battles of their couutrv The people who haye been, a s bur oid friend Hubbard would say so "brittle for this war, i. out to turn in now and help fight it, Men ought not clamor for a line of policy and then, when the govern ment adopts it, decline to lend their individual efforts to the carrying of it out. ti CMIirci can be overcome in almost all cases by the use of Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil and the Hypophos phites of Lime and Soda While it is a scientific fact that cod-liver oil is the most digestible oil in ex istence, m it is not only palatable, but it is already digested and made ready for immediate absorption . by the system v It is also combined with the hypophosphites, which supply a food not only for the tissues of the body, but for v the bones and .nerves, and will build up the child when its ordinary food does ; not supply. - proper nourishment .

Butler has one of two plans in his head. He is offering fusion to the Democrats either for the purpose of fooling them, which Editor; Kamsey of the Progressive Farmer, says is the case that is, after getting a practical '. acceptance from them, withdrawing his tender and trading again with the Eepublicans; or else he may realize what some Rhpubli cans say is a facVthathe, personally can never again get anything from them, and is willing now to come to terms with the Democrats in order to get them to re-elect nim to the Sen ate two years from now. It will be recalled that the details of . the ar rangement that State Auditor Ayer mapped out a few weeks ago contem plated that the Populists now in of fice be not disturbed in 1900. This would include Butler as well as him self. I is certain that in any com bination the latter may effect, whether with the Republicans again or with the Democrats, he will be the domi nating influence, as he has been in the Republican-Populist fusion deal, and will be the chief beneficiary of it. Whichever of the two plans above suggested is the one he is working on. the exaltation of Butler is , the object and end of it. He is the fel low who is responsible for the con dition in which North Carolina finds herself to-day and it is a question if Democrats are going to condone his crimes and increase his prestige either by making'a deal with him for a division of political spoils, or by manifesting a willingness to do so. He will have his vindication at their hands in either case. Charlotte Observer. mm May Ladies Homo Journal.
