The white women of North Carolina are taking a hand in the campaign of their fathers, sons and brothers against the Republican- Populist combination which now rules the state, and which has filled the offices with objectionable persons. The spectacle of black politicians without character running the schools, asylums, the courts and other institutions has aroused the people as they have not been aroused since they overthrew the carpet baggers after reconstruction, li the Democrats do not win the next election, it will be a wonder. And an attempt is being made in Georgia, by Republican and Pop ulist fusion, to fill the offices with objectionable characters and revive the infamous negro rule of recon struction days. The hour of temporizing has passed. We must lose no time indulging the wheedling cry of “Populists, come back!” We must fight Populism, and its ally and consort, Repub licanism. We must endeavor to atone for the sad mistake of fusing with Popu lism in 1896, and thereby giving it a certificate of character. Populism is a bad egg. It is intrinsically and wholly bad. It is an enemy to the best interests of the commonwealth. By its miscegenation with Repub licans and negroes it has touched the mudsill of sbdmelessness and is a re proach to the civilization of this enlightened nineteenth century. On election day next month we earnestly enjoin every man who has in his heart enough patriotism to wish to avert, disaster to his own fireside, to come to the polls and cast a straight Democratic vote all the way from Governor down to Coroner. That is the way to deal with Popu lism. That is the way to serve your country and do your duty to yourself and your family. THE DAUGHTER OF THE CONFEDERACY. Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, is dead at the Rockingham hotel, Narragusett Pier, R. 1., to which place she came as a guest in the early part of the social season. She had been ill for several weeks and a fortnight ago her ail ment was diagnosed as malarial gas tritis. At times her condition became very serious, so that consultations of physicians were deemed necessary, but frequent rallies gave renewed hope that she would ultimately re cover. Mrs. Davis had watched unre mittingly at her daughter’s bedside and she is now bowed with sorrow. Mrs. Davis is holding up with great calmness in her affliction and no fears are at present entertained of her health yielding to the strain. Miss Annie Varina Davis, affec tionately called “Winnie,” and “The Daughter of the Confederacy,” was born in Richmond in 1864, while her father was president of the Southern Confederacy. She was a handsome girl, large and stately, with blue eyes and light brown hair. She had literary talent of a high order and wrote for a number of pe riodicals. No woman of the South was more endeared to" its people. She possessed intelligence, culture and refinement. She was educated in Germany. Iler last appearance in public was during the recent Confederate vet erans’ reunion in Atlanta, when she was the recipient of every attention. Miss Davis attained her maturity at Beauvoir, Miss. Here she assisted her mother in various ways and took her place in the many social func tions of the place. She was her fath er’s constant companion. She assisted him in all his work and much of the information which was required by Mr. Davis in his writings was secured for him by his daughter. Her strong character was marked from youth. She was engaged to marry a Mr. Wilkerson »f Syracuse, N. Y., but shortly after her father’s death the engagement was broken off. While no public explanation of the rupture was given out, it is well known that it was for the purpose of maintaining her father’s name. She received the name “Daughter of the Confederacy” in 1886, when her father made his famous trip through the South. Mr. Davis be ing unable to appear, Miss Winnie was brought before the thousands at the different points along the route and introduced as the Daughter of the Confederacy. She will be buried to-morrow beside her father at Rich mond. OUR ENEMIES. Invitation to our friends the Popu lists to “come back” is very current with the leaders of Georgia Democ racy just kow, and the invitation is being accepted by many. However, we believe that very few confirmed, dyed-in-the-wool Populists are coming back or will come back. They are going the other way. Having in the heat of battle contracted enmity toward the Democrats, they are, now that their own party is becoming hopelessly stranded, joining hands with Democracy’s worst enemy, the Republicans. There can and will be but two great political parties in this country, Democracy and Republicanism. All others are mere sporadic growth—to come up today and die tomorrow. Ben Hill once said that when a man left the Democratic party he began drifting toward the Republican party, and would reach there in time. This truth is being made expressly manifest in North Carolina, where we see the unholy alliance of Pop ulists and Republicans—negroes and all ; also in the Eleventh Congres sional district of Georgia, where the Populists have joined their fortunes with the Republicans, and are vieing with that party in hobnobbing with the black element. We see a touch of it here in Hall county, where a coalition has been effected and a rank Republican given a place on the Populist ticket. Now, between Democratic and Populist principles there are many things in common, but Populism and Republicanism are as far apart as the poles. Upon what principle, then, are we to understand the strange manifestation of a fusion or coming together of these two antagonistic elements? To our mind, the solu tion is, Populism in this state has determined to forever abandon its principles and join with anything at hand that promises the spoils of a few petty offices. Populism is becoming more and more malodorous. It is becoming a stench. Will the Populists come back ? We think they will not, enough to count on. We must prepare to fight Popu lism in its new guise of an active ally of our worst enemy, Repub licanism. We must trim our own lines, buckle on the armor, and go forth to battle as brave soldiers of the right. This done, the Populists may come back or remain out and get whipped. ALL-DAY SUNDAY SINGING. This discussion, we think, has subserved its end. The brethren have maintained their arguments well on both sides. We must now economize in space, and hope all parties will rest on their well-won laurels. We have excellent articles from Brother Clemons and Brother Kim sey, which will appear next week. The queen regent of Spain is mak ing herself beloved by the returned soldiers. She visits them daily and gives medicines. It’s too bad that she couldn’t govern her people under more advantageous circumstances. ♦ I An immense tract of land has al ready been purchased in eastern Cuba for grazing purposes and 2,500 head of cattle are on the way thither from Texas. A Stroke of Paralysis. Mrs. Elsie Davis, an aged lady who lives two miles from the city on the Ath ens road, died very suddenly Saturday morning at 1 o'clock from a stroke of paralysis. The burial occurred at Oak Grove Baptist church. The funeral was con ducted by Rev. Mel Kimsey. Mrs. Davis was a good woman and had many friends. She was in perfect health up to Friday afternoon. She was not permitted to suffer but a short while. Predicts a Victory. J. R. Hosch of Hoschton, candidate for representative of Jackson county, spent Monday in the city. He says the Democrats will redeem Jackson county this fall, and says it will be done by a healthy majority. Getting the Armor On. Gainesville, September 17.

On motion the meeting adjourned to convene on the Ist day in October. Charles S. Webb, Chairman. Lester D. Puckett, Secretary. His Heart Stopped. The death of L. J. Howren, which oc curred on the operating table last Sat urday, was a shock to his friends and the community. Mr. Howren was at work in Geo. W. Walker’s carriage factory and while using a planer had his left hand caught, The three last fingers of the hand were badly cut and mashed, so much so that it was necessary to amputate them. He went at once to Dr. E. P. Ham’s operating room and prepared for the operation. Dr. Ham poured a small quantity of chloroform in a cone and administered it to him. The action of his heart stopped at once and in a few seconds he was dead. It was learned later through his brother-in-law, Oliver Clark, that he had heart disease and in the past he had suf fered a great deal from it. Mr. Howren was a jolly fellow and was known as a general fun-maker for all. He was about 43 years of age and single. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. M. White at the home of his sister, Mrs. Oliver Clark, on S. Main street, Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. The remains were then interred at Alta Vista cemeterv. Folded His Tent. A Gypsy of the name of Sherlock died Monday at the camp on the west end of Davis street. The life and character of this man is somewhat remarkable. He was 62 years old, had reared a large family, and had accumulated considerable wealth, hut in a land dotted with houses he nor his family ever occupied one. His children, who are all grown, and his aged wife had always lived with him preferring tent life to any other. When he died they sent to undertaker Dorsey for a cooling board, shroud, and a few other things and laid the old man out in the tent. They went to Atlanta for a coffin, as they wanted a peculiar kind. The re mains were shipped to Nashville for burial. They traveled from place to place and have been here several times before. They came here this time about a month ago. Teacher Wanted. A good school teacher wanted at Union church, two miles and a half from Chest nut Mountain, in Clinchem district.

The Democratic Executive Committee held an important meeting last Saturday afternoon. Various committees were appointed and a vigorous campaign will be waged until the polls close on the day of the election. Special attention will be given to the preparation of a basket dinner and bar becue to be held on first Tuesday, the day before the election.

J. & S. railroad changed its schedule last Monday. The change is highly satisfactory to every one.

I Coons “Pushed de Wind.” A negro excursion train passed through the city Monday en route from Atlanta to Athens. The police were telegraphed to from Suwanee to meet the train here and arrest several passengers who would not pay their fare. Anticipating some trouble, Chief of Police Smith summoned Will Summer, Will Evans, Owen McDermed Warren Brown, Dock Hope, and others to go with him. When the train pulled up the conductor began to point out those who refused to pay for transportation. Then it was that a rush was made for the windows, through which the negroes went out like black birds flying down from a tree into a wheat field. Only eight were captured, while fifty or sixty made their escape. On reaching the woods beyond the city the boys decided to get a better view of their heels. They tired a volley of shots into the air and the vanishing host sped swiftly on like a black cloud driven by a terrific wind. The eight captured were locked up and held until the train returned Monday night; then they were turned over to the conductor. The fleeing party has not been since heard from. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
