NOT A CANDID ATE FOB JUDGE NOR NOTHING ELSE. He is "Sick and Disgusted at See ing Public Office Made a Matter of Merchandise to be Hawked by Political Traders For Purely Per sonal Gain" The Alamance Gleaner this week contains the following paragraph: . When Adams is nominated for Congress he will accept the nomina tion, and thn the Executive com mittee will cast about for a candidate for jndge. . In looking around Settle will be seen, but it is- confidently he lieved the man will be found in Hp a. W. A Guthrie, of Durham, who has had the fortune or misfortune, one or the other, to belong to all parties within the past few years. ' This was shown by Major Guthrie and be was asked regarding the truth of the statement.' In reply ' to this, MrJ Guthrie said : "I am not a candidate for the nom ination of any political party for any office at the present time, nor do I expect or desire to be nominated for any political office this year of grace, A. I)., 1898. The most esteemed favor my personal friends of all par ties can do me at present is to let me aloneand stop circulating false rumors, based on nothing said or done by me to encourage them. . "I want it distinctly understood that while I feel, as every citizen ought, a lively interest in political affairs, nothing could tempt the at the present time to become s candi date before people for' any political office. I am not - a political trader and until the time shall come, if ever, in North Carolina, that politi cal honors shall be based upon politic j cal principles, I shall be content to remain simply a private citizen, and vote as I see fit with the best lights I can get as to what is best under the cii'cumstances to promote good government. I am heartily sick and disgusted at seeing pur public offices made a matter of merchandise to be -r' , hawked around by political traders for purely personal gain. Our. theory of government is that the public offices are the agencies of government, and those who hold them are servants of trie people, but most of the office-holders and office seekers of the present day in North Carolina, in practice have reversed this theory (which is the true theory) of government ' - "The traders now have their day, but it requires no prophet to foresee that a day is cc-ming, and I hope.yit is near at hand , when the traders will be forced to go out of business i and give the people a chance to ad minister our own State government upon comet principles.? Dnrham Daily Record. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be gener ous to the needy and suffering. The Proprietors of Dr, King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs, and and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles Tof this great medicine; and have : the satisfaction of knowing it haa absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma and Bronchitis, and Hoarseness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on J. De Morris Druggist, and get a trial bottle free. Regular size 50c. and $1. .Every bottle guaranteed, o price refunded. A PEACE JUBILEE. The President Arranging For a State Fair. Never were the prospects for a grand State Fair more encouraging than this year. The people are tak ing a great interest in the matter already and President Cuningham and Secretary Nichols are putting forth every effort to make it a suc cess The suggestion has been made that one or two days Pair week be devoted to a grand peace jubilee. These jubileess are being elabor ately arranged for in many northern States and it is an excellent idea to have such a ceremony here in Octo ber. A program can be prepared which will draw thousands from every portion of the State. The most prominent public men in the State can be invited to take part and the exercises can be made highly instructive and entertain ing. . ' . Until the plans are ' more mature nothing can be definitely stated as to the program. This is a matter in which Raleigh should be especially interested and the Times-Visitor there are so few negroes holding of wll be glad to print suggestions fice, even in Eastern North Carolina along' this line. THE PEOPLE'S FAIR. The Fair, this year will . he of more general interest-even than the pro ceeding ones Every effort is being made to interest persons in every lo cality in the Fair. : Tbe Fair will be the. purest and the most successful ever held in the State.

Aug. 27.Assis taut Naval constructor Hobson, was to have been examined for ; promo tion, last week, but owing to his du-1 ties he could not go before the board; It was ordered that his record be ex amined to see if that would entitle him to the highest rank.

Republican papers and speakers are .trying to create impression that that the question is not worth con sidering. Well, let us see how it is, and we will begin with New Hanover county, which includes Wilmington, the largest city in the State. " - The county of New. Hanover has forty Negro Magistrates, all duly commissioned, and having j urisdfc tion and authority over whites 'and blacks alike. ' The county of New Hanover has four or five Negro. Deputy Sheriffs, whose duties bring them constantly in contact with the whites. The only constable for the city of Wil mington is also a negro. The county of New Hanoyer has six school committees, and on these committees there are six negroes whose duties are not confined to the negro schools, but extend to the white schools also. The city of Wilmington has four teen Negro Policemen, including three substitutes. The county of New Hanover has four Negro Members of the Leg" islature and a Negro ! Register of Deeds, and the next Republican nominee for County Treasurer, it is generally conceeded, will be a ;ne- The Qity of Wilmington. has three Negro Aldermen, and all the Health Officers, (four) are negroes. " ; " , The Collector of Customs of - - the port of Wilmington is a negro, and j in the several departments of ; th e Federal government here there, are Bt least twelve negroes holding posi- tions. - - i - Fortv Nesrro -Magistrates in one county! Think of that, white men of North Carolina. And think how many more there will' be nnless the Democrats control the next - Legisla ture. It is New Hanover' that stands at the head of the list in the number number of Negro Magistrates ; now. Bat if the negro votes elect a : ma jority of the members of the next Legislature other counties will be nnmiiiatea too. .mecKienuurg uu Uhipn, Ahsoa and Richmond, Bruns wick and Pender will all drink of the bitter cup. The negroes - cast 120,000 yotes f or the Republicans in this State. They know their power and they will assert 5 it. ; . . Wc ask every ;Populist in North Royal makes the food pare, ' ..

Voting to elect a Fusion Legislature he was voting to make Forty Negro Magistrates for the county of New Hanover? No, there is.not a honest Ponulist in thv State who believed that his vote was contributing the now that, they have been - convinced of their mistake, these Populists will' join with the Democrats in electing a Legislature that ; will , undo the great wrong that has been - commit- ted. The time has come when every' decent white" man In North Carolina should show th"e stuff: of which, he is made. He must decide now whether he prefers white rule or negro rule. The- Democratic party, is the . white man's party, because it is composed of white men. ; The Republicatt paftyis the negro' party" because 'it ' is composed' mainly of negroes. r Forty Negro Magistrates in New Hanover county! ,Let every .white man in North Carolina know' this - .... . ... ...... , . - j Wilmington Star.
