A The Democrat. E. E. HILLIARD, - - - - Editor. Published Every Thursday. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 11, 189 J. Entered at the Pout-Office at Scotland Neck, X. C, n$ Second 'Chsa Matter. DEM OCR A TIC UA LLY 27th. On 27th of OctoU-r there will be a grand Democratic rally in Scotland Neck. The following ppeakers are exacted: Hons. R. II. Glenn, W. R. Henry, O. 15. Aycock, F. H. Hustiee and ierhas Congressman Woodard. Also the county candidates and V. E. Daniel, Esq., are expected. Let every one begin now to make preparation to attend. Democrats, Republicans, Pop ulists, all, are invited to attend and hear a fair and honest discussion of the po litical questions now before the people. COUNTY POLITICS. To say that Halifax county jolitics is mixed up outside of the Democratic party is only to give the index. To see how the Populists and Republicans are mixed one has to wade in amongst them. They are so mixed that we do not care to try to open up the matter. We just let them stay together and smother, meantime all who are for good government and have the true interest of the county and State at heart will vote the Demociatic ticket. Mil. POBERTSOX DECLINES. Mr. .7. J. Robertson, of Enfiield,who is one of the truest of Democrats, was nominated recently by the Populists of this county for the State Senate. He writes The Democrat that he will not accept any oftice within the cift of the Populist party. LET IT NOT HE SO IN HALIFAX. Of the differences among the people In matters political the question of United States Senator has, perhaps, given Democrats of North Carolina the most worry. In some places the questson as to who shall be the next Senators has created some bitterness between Democrats.- In other words, it has, in some places, been narrowed down to a personal fight between the friends of Ransom, Jarvis and others. Sometimes it has been proposed that the fitness of a candidate for the Legis lature shall be determined by his pref erence for Jarvis or Ransom. Some have said they will not vote for a man to "represent m the Legislature unless he pledges against Ransom and for Jar vis. Others have put it just the re verse and have paid they will not vote for a man for the Legislature unless he pledges for Ransom and against Jarvis. Now, this is all a mistake. It is narrowing down to personal preferences what should rest upon a broader basis. No one man's interest ought to be considered. It is wrong in principle. Tiie first thing to do is to be sure we elect Democrats to the Legislature, and the citizenship of North Carolina can well afford to trust the interests of the State in the hands of a Democratic Legislature. Then, to say that you will not vote for a representative to the Legislature unless he will vote for your personal choice for United States Senator, gives the opportunity for some other man to say the same thing about his personal choice, when his choice happens to be different from yours. So, it would seem that the spirit of true patriotism would brush aside all these personal preferences and look only to the inter est ol the State. And, besides, each man having as much right to his pref erence as every other man, and so con tending, if the number for the differ ent preferences should happen to be equal we should never get any repre sentation that is to say the Republi can party would get it. We hope that no such narrow notions have gotten hold upon the Democrats of Halifax county. There is nothing wrong in having a preference ; but it is wrong, very wrong, for us to alloy our personal prelerences to jeopardize the interest of the State in the matter of good government. Let every Demo ocrat in the county forget every per sonal feeling and look only to the pul lic interest. And there is enough at stake in the coming election to cause every Democrat to feel so. Solid Dem ocracy is what we need and this is what Halifax Democrats will stand by. The scrofulous taint which may have bjen in your blood for years, may be thorough' expelled by giving Hood.s Barsaparilla a trial. CIIA I KM A X PO U'S I. E TTEJl. From Chairman Pou's letter to the Democrats of the State we give space; lor the following ringing words, which we hope our readers will ion5er well : A General Assembly is to lc chosen at this election, and that Legislature, under the Constitution of this State, i vested with iowers to reverse the polit ical condition of every county in North Carolina ; that Legislature, if controlled bv the fusionists, will have the iwer (and it will exert it no doubt) to ap- point magistrates in every county aim to increase their number in every coun- tv until thev control the Hoards i Commissioners and Boards of Finance (where they exist) in every county in the State ; that Legislature will have the power to turn over the control of our great State institutions to the Fu sionists ; it will have the power to de liver into the hands of the Fusionists our institutions of learning, onr chari table and icnn institutions, and the control of the common schools of North Carolina; that Legislature will have charge of the levying of the taxes, and the sending of the public money for the next two years ; it will have the power to enact an election law to be Tramed by the Fusionists, and to be en forced by them at the next election, and it will devolve upon that Legisla ture to choose two United States Sena tors, one to serve six years and the other to serve two years. If we lose these two Senators we will lose control of the Senate of the United States. That Legislature will choose one member of the Railroad Commission. Nine members of Congress are to be elected, and every county office in North Carolina is to be filled at the coming election. In short our honest and eilicient Judiciary is at stake ; the control of the Legislature is at stake ; the control of each county in the State is at stake, and the control of tne Uni ted Stales Senate is at stake. Never had a party greater incentive to work than we have in this election. Never were the rewards of victory more satis factory or more certain, and never were the results of defeat more disastrous or humiliating. No good citizen can con template without a shudder at the possi bility of a fusion victory in November. In the opinion of this committee the result of the coming election is no long er in doubt. We will elect our State ticket by the largest majority ever giv en in the State. Wo will elect a ma jority of both houses of the General Assembly, and it will probably incense the number ot Democratic Congress men from eight to nine. The indica tions all over the State are that the people have turned against the fusion ticket and they will bury it beneath an avalanche of indignant votes. We have borrowed strength and gathered inspiration from the great victory won this summer by the Democrats of our sister States of the South, Tennessee, A.kansas, Florida, Georgia and Alaba ma where tickets made up, like the mongrel one in this State, have been buried beneath decisive major" ties. The returns from these elections show us that as a political factor the Pop ulist movement at the South is at an end. Claiming successively each of these States the Populists carried none of them. The Populist movement at the South has become a mere sideshow to the Republican party, and to the least reputable wing of the Republican party at that. It has sold its principles and its honor, and with this election it will disappear from the face of the earth. The Populists arc losing every day their men of character1, and all those who went into it from principle tee that they must now leave the party or proye untrue to their principles. These men see the base purposes for which they are being used by the Populist leaders ; they are spurning that leader ship and coming back to the Demo cratic party. Let us welcome back home all these, who, in leaving us, act ed from pure motives and from consci entious principles. Their return in creases our majority, and adds gladness to our success. The best men in the Republican party, disgusted with such performance as have lately been seen in this State, refuse to sanction the deals made by their own discredited leaders with would-be Populist auto crats, and announce that they will as sist in burying the Fusion ticket. In almost every county in the State discord reigns supreme among the ranks of our enemy. Disgust and in dignation fill the minds of honest men of both Republican and Populist par ties ; they spurn the loathsome dish of fered them by the fusionists. They feel that their personal honor and per sonal dignity require them to adopt this course and they no'longer hesitate to proclaim their intention. The Democratic party, thoroughly aroused, solidified ana united in every county, marches to certain victory. The question now is only one of ma jority. What shall our majority be? Shall it be a small one, such a majority as will leave the fusionists some hope for the future, some ground upon which they may base hope for future attacks upon the welfare of the State? Or shall we, by one month's earnest work, pile up such a irajority on the 6th day of November as will for years to come dishearten the enemies of our State? This Committee begs that you make choice of the latter course. It is with in the power of the Democrats of North Carolina by one month's united work, by one month's zealous and earnest ef fort, to annihilate the Fusion aggrega tion. We have it in our power to elect ev ery member of our delegation to the next Congress, our State Treasurer, ev ery Judge, every Solicitor and a great majority in the Legislature. We can do it if we will. Let us put aside every question which might weaken us, and seek only the success of the Democrat ic party, and let us seek that success with a zeal worthy of Democrats. Let us give SO days earnest effort, to make sure and complete the victory of our party on November 6th. . Let us make our victory so complete that no man shall hereafter hope to reach J udicial honors by deals effected in secret caucus with disreputable pol iticians. Let us make our victory so great that no man will again essay to reach the Supreme court by denying his politics, or by making claims to non-partisanship, bordering on false pretence. Let us make onr majority so large that n-1uan in Norih Carolina will hereafter lIieve ib.it he can reach the United State-' Senate by traveling a path paved with treason, or that he can hold the confidence of the eople after he has I strayed them and after he has sacrificed his honor and his principles.

Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease and for this simple reason : Arising from lm pure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of white tissues ; there is a period of foetal life when the whole bodv consists ot white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease But there is a remedy for scrofula whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, winch by its pow erful effect on the blood, expels al trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality' and color of health. If you decide to take Ifood.s Sarsaparilla do not accept any substi tute. SALE OF LAND.
