It is a day of rest and in Christian lands among the peo ple of God it is a day of worship and J searching of the Scriptures and medi- tatlon. It will prove a curse to any another foreiffn war comes men at land when the Lord's Day ceases to be : home wi be very careful not tQ vo,un. a day of rest and worship, and made a j tec.r for years but for actual war CoI. day of frolic and dissipation and visit- j onel Burgwyn is rendering himself ftig and excursions. Lord Selborne , very unpopular with thousands of in spoke wisely when he said that "the telligent people who are looking on at . . . 1 . ! 1. . . 1.. . 1.1.- .1 f i 1 A A - M f i.iw wiiicn uuuiua me uisuiuuon 01 , the Christian Sabbath does more to educate and maintain a sound moral sense in a Christian people than all the museums and picture galleries in the world." We were amuse.! ov.-r a bit of fun illustrating the importer"- of "Chris- 1 -"iia tian &cience"-so-ca:u-u-a.-; L, .-.poser j of the human race. Wo nunti ..f d but me otner day that linrold Frederic, ! one of the foremost tj An.rvlan nov elists of the present time, L;;d died in London recently from pure neglect, as he was a victim of the arrant de ception and humbug named above. There ought to be a law to suppress humbugs generally that fieece the peo- J pie and particularly those that deal with human life. The supreme court ! of Rhode Island approves of this fraud ! and when the quacks participating take the title of"doctor"it holds he does not violate law in praying for sick peo ple and disregarding remedies. But to the fun we copy from a religious pa per: "Mrs. Fadde How is your grand father this morning, Bridget? Bridget He still has the rheumatics mighty bad, mum. Mrs. Fadde You mean he thinks he has the rheumatism. There is no such thing as rheumatism. Bridget Yes, mum. Mrs. Fadde (a few days later) And does your grandfather still persist in his delusion that he has rheumatism? Bridget No, mum; the poor man thinks now that he is dead- We buried um yisterday." Job lived in the remote past thou sands of years beforethe coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a good man and highly Intellectual. He was pro foundly religious for his age and be lieved in God. Once he ventured on remarks that were not well sustained, and he was rebuked for them by Elihu, was seems to have been some thing of a preacher, but he was really not a wiser man or better man than Job was, but he claimed to stand in the plare of God, which did not display much humility, while confessing his origin. His voids were: "Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead." That is saying a great deal if it was trutf. iiome men have claimed that prerogative and power in many ages, and some modem preachers some times claim at. highly and speak ard act as if indeol "in God's stead." Modesty and ."obriety cf statement ao virtues to be sought and cultivated. But Elihu had grace enough to add "I also am formed out of the clav." He was really of the earth earthy, and not of Heaven, if inspired truly by the Almighty Spirit. Job had rashly said of him self "I am clean without transgres sion, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me." There is one striking . feature observable in this reproof of Elihu because Job had dared to mur mur against God. He did not take up rumors against Job, and build rebuke upon hearsay and the talk of gossips, or base what he said upon the gabble of the busy slanderer. He confined his accusation to what he had heard Job say himself and not another. His reproof was made upon the best evi dence, that of his own ears and his own understanding. Some men play the part of Mentor when they know noth ing of themselves, and their censure or complaints are simply the echoings of idle talk or gross slander or the acid tongue of the habitual and per tinacious liar. There are such folks now, and they are not all in the pew. For aught we know Elihu had the di vine or heavenly guidance as he boast ed that he stood "in God's stead." He dealt very plainly and positively with Job who was really crest-fallen and not so good really as he had claimed. Elihu did not exaggerate or pervert what poor, afflicted Job had said, that he was both innocent and sinless. Job evidently spoke lustily, like some peo ple in our day when they boast of saint ship and being without sin, in a state of absolute perfection. Job may not at heart have purposed to be pre tentious and boastful. Possibly his intention was to deny false ac cusations, and yet his "lan guage is plain," and its purport clear. Job probably receive! the re buke in th right spirit, and did not murmur against Elihu as he had mur mured against God. The lesson chiefly impressed upon Job in the G3rd chap ter, 1-13 is that God being greater .than man being indeed Almighty is not In any sense or manner accounta ble to man in the least degree. Job bad grace perhaps to receive the lesson with meekness, and profited thereby. Elihu told Job that "God Is greater than man," and that both silenced and yet encouraged. It is therefore, all madness and folly In the extreme to strive against God, to murmur over His dispensations and providences or complaiu against His dealings with children of men. "God is greater than man." But remember that the God of all the earth, and the universe, is all wise and can do no wrong, commit no errors, is infallible as well as omnipo tent. It is pleasant and cheering to believe that our God and Father is not a consuming power, but of infinite love, forbearance, goodness and mercy, who is long-suffering, and whose name and essence are Love. "God is greater than man." IIO.TIi; FOLKS The men who want the pay in the Second regiment, and fellows outside, are resolved to force the Second regi ment in if it can be accomnlished. If nj3 performance. So old Ol. Dockery, the great "Kur nel of the war, has brought out his rusty old "weapon of offence" and greased it up and poured in the lead. This old office seeker is hot for a row. e makeg inflammatory speeches and x ... . .u , - tejjs tne neoes to arm themselves for war againgt the whlteS( ..for we are Koinff to have trouble. If "trouble" j and incendiaries as old Dockery, the politcal Hopper and spurter. If war does come the men who provoke it will fare worse than those who are for peace and quiet. With 3. negro magistrates in New Hanover, the smallest territorially, and 143 in five Eastern counties, it is seen what sort of justice and law must pre- vail. Probably not one of the 143 has the first qualification for the places they have ben appointed to by ' the white radicals to fill. It is simply dis gusting and unbearable. Representative Skinner has sloughed his skin. In 1S92, when the populist candidate for governor, he said in his speech accepting the nomination, that the republican party is "the common enemy of us all and the cause of all our evils." Very true then, and equal ly true now. And this very Harry Skinner is today cheek-by-jowl with the very gang lie excoriated and damn ed. In Franklin county at the recent court the grand jury was composed of eleven negroes and seven whites. Franklin is an old and excellent coun ty, with a civilization of whites for probably two hundred years. It was a part of Edgecombe, and after 1746, a part of Granville. Russell's plans "peter out." Neither Gore nor Keith will run on the black-radical-combination ticket. Good for them. The Raleigh News and Observer has mighty pleasant news if it is trust worthy. It says that up to the 27th of October "the registration in more than sixty counties of the state shows a clear majority for the democrats, thus pointing to a democratic house, a democratic senate, five democratic and silver congressmen, and the demo cratic judicial ticket." This is most cheering. Two points must be guard ed it is to watch the polls with un winking, sleepless eyes, and if possible, prevent illegal voting. And then to watch the counting and returning of the counting. At Asheville 300 negroes registered il legally. If that is so, then it shows more than ever the baseness of the election law that was probably inspired by Russell and drawn by him. The Raleigs News and Observer says: "There has been suspicious increases in the negro vote in other towns and cities, and unless the white men are wide-a-awake, resolute ,and determin ed, hundreds of ex-convicts and other disqualified voters will be permitted to vote under the present 'infamous elec tion law,' for, as The Caucasian truly said in drafting an election law the republicans were getting ready 'to do a little stealing on their own account." Poor an Catarrh and Bronchial Trouble Had no Appetite Nov Eetter in Every Way A Delicate Child. "Some time since I took a sudden cold and could not get rid of it. Being subject to catarrh and bronchial trouble I coughed terribly. I lost my appetite and grew poor and weak and I did not feci liko work. I began taking Hood's Sarsapa rilla.

The readers of The Messenger of Sat urday were doubtless interested in the account of the great gathering of the T'. h;te Clans at Goldsboro. The speeches an 2 resolutions were clear ard satisfactory every way. The criti cal condition was not blinked in the least. The dangers that threaten the peace of society through the artful machinations and the persistent devil try of the black radical demagogues were pointed out in unmistakable lan guage and with tones that speke of passion and purpose that all may un derstand. This goodly state of North Carolina, one of the original thirteen colonies, and the first to protest against British misrule and oppression I and to declare for complete independ- : ence, has been until within a few years ; a white man's home, and a white man's government. It stands alone now. The other forty-six or seven states of the American Union are governed by the White man. North Carolina alone is subjected to negro rule. This com monwealth that has eVer been conserv ative and patriotic, responding in all the wars to every call of duty, is today by the plans and acts of white bosses put under the yoke of negro bondage, and 3 1-3 per cent, of the black tax payers are allowed to levy the bur dens upon 96 2-3 of the white taxpay ers. And that near the end of the cen tury that has been so rich and full in educational and material progress, and has so advanced in liberty among the nations and in the ideas governing free and responsible and good government. The meeting must do good for the state and both races, and so must the other popular gatherings of the white race. The name of the Aryan stock mean to be the masters in North Car olina, peaceably if they can, but they mean to be the masters. They are re solved that the African race that has shown itself so utterly unfit for the ballot, much less to govern, to domi nate, shall not be their masters any longer. The fiat of freemen has gone forth, and we believe it is the fiat of Heaven. In five thousand years there is no record of a negro or black race governing the whites. If Russell and company prefer negro rule they cannot be allowed to have it at the expense of the White Race. The WThite Men do not seek, do not plan, do not desire any difficulties or collisions with the blacks. Let that be understood. If a racial war comes it must come by the bad white men who control and inspire Josh and Jim and Sambo. STATE CAMPAIGN Asheville Citizen: John C. Dancy, colored, spoke before a large, typical republican audience in the court house last evening. This was Senator Pritch ard's date, but he could not be here, and Dancy appeared instead. Winston Sentinel: Senator Pritch ard took supper at the Benbow in Greensboro Tuesday night. His part ing injunction to his party friends was: "Boys, do the best yon can, the very devil is to pay and I don't know what will be the result" And he told the truth. Roxboro, Courier: Hon. W. W. Kitchin was in town Friday and Sat urday. He has made a close canvass of nearly his entire, district, and is in fine spirits. He says the prospects for democrats was never brighter. He thinks his election is a certainty the only question is in the size of the ma jority. Pittsboro Record: It is amusing as well as disgusting '.o see what des perate strains the republicans are driven, as is evidenced by the cam paign lies that are being circulated by them. One of their latest is the state ment that an old colored democrat in this county, named Tip Alston was elected a door keeper in the legislature, some years ago, and was paid $4 a day. Now, it so happens that no part of this statement is true. Tip was not elect ed a doorkeeper, nor was he paid $4 a day! Raleigh News and Observer: "In this fight I stand for just two things," said Mr. John W. Atwater, candidate for congress in this district. "I stand for white man and white metal. "For these," he continued, "all true populists stand, and recognize in them the real issues of this campaign." ''And is that why you became a candi date, Mr. Atwater?" I asked. "Yes, that i3 why I became a candidate, to gether with the further reason that J. J. Jenkins, my oponent, is not the choice of the populist party, of which I am an humble member. Dr. R. M. Norment (rep.), of Robeson county, has been here this week. He says the report that the recent trouble at Ash pole was between whites and Croatan Indians is false. It was between white men and negroes, Dr. Norment says. The Croatan Indians are democrats strong democrats. Charlotte Observer: The suggestion of federal troops for North Carolina has had exactly that, effect that any one of ordinary good sense might have anticipated. The change can be felt in the atmosphere. Nothing could have happened so well calculated to arouse democrats and to convert pop ulists and republicans. Mr. Nathan j Flemming, a life-long republican, an : nounces his determination to vote the democratic ticket.

It was a mighty poor politician, to say nothing worse, that suggested tjbe possibility of moving federal troop into North Carolina. Asheville Citi zen. If Governor Russell wants to see wha it is that is intimidating North Caro lina voters, he should read the republi can newspapers edited by white and colored advocates of negro supremacy. Here's a sample from the "Defender:" "Some members of the negro demo cratic club hope to save their jobs by aiding the democrats, something may happen if the republicans get control of things herabouts that might cause them to love them. The safest way is not to sell out." Raleigh News and Observer. We call attention to a communica tion published elsewhere in this issue from Raeford. CumberlandVounty, X. C. This is not far from the place where the race trouble occurred a few days ago. The temper of the white people of that section bristles between every line. The writer of this com munication is a conservative, peace able, oGd fearing man, yet it is plainly evident that he is in full sympathy j with the white men of this section, and ; their Anglo Saxon courage and deter mination stands out in each line. Those men are going to control their affairs, peaceably if they can, by force if they must. Let no section forget his race and vote to continue negro domination ; m the east.
