THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER' TUESDAY JUIT O -I 1 900. LIKE MAKY OTHERS Clara Kopp Wrote for 31 r. Plnkham Ad vice and Tells what it did for Her. 44 Deab Mrs. Pixkham : I have seen so many letters from ladies who were cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies that I thought I would ask your advice in reg-ard to my condition. I have been doctoring for four years and have taken different pat- :i pnt medicines, but i-k received very little. tjaS benefit. I am : troubled with back er ache, in fact my y whole body aches, ft stomach feels sore, by spells get short ' of breath and am very nervous. Men struation is very ir regular with severe bearing" down pains, cramps and back ache. I hope to hear from you at once." Claka Kopp. Rockport, Ind., Sept. 27, 1693. 44 1 think it is my duty to write a letter to you in regard to what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me. I wrote j-ou some time ago, describing my symptoms and asking your advice, which you very kindly gave. I am now healthy and cannot begin to praise your remedy enough. I would say to all suffering women, 4 Take Mrs. Pinkham's advice, for a wo man best understands a woman's suf ferings, and Mrs. Pinkham, from her vast experience in treating female ills, can give you advice that you can get from no other source.' " Clara Kopp. Rockport, Ind., April 13, 1899. WHITE SUPREMACY CAUSED IT. THE WAY WILMINGTON'S BUILDING ACTIVITY IMPRESSES VISITORS Tliey See Preparations For Mammoth A. C. L. (ieneral Oftice Additlon-The Hear Building?, Sternberger Building, Elks' Temple and fJaylord's Ilaeket Store Front Street 'a Fair Sample." Numerous Substantial Posldences. Wilmington In th Lead. There is no city in the state or out of it either, said a gentleman yesterday who travels extensively, which im preses me so forcible with the magni tude of her "building: interests as does "Wilmington. ;When a visitor get off the .train at Front street depot and starts down town to the hotel, before he goes a square he sees he work in progress at the Atlantic Coast Line general offices, clearing up the site for the mammoth addition to be erected there involving the expenditure of many thousands of dollars. A little further up Fron,t street, at the corner of Grace, there is the handsome Bear building with its buff brick and brown stone finish, alive with carpenters and brick masons. Two doors below this building there are the Sternberger building and Elks temple going up side by side, the two aggregating a cost of nearly $30,000. Then right across the ' street and almost opposite is the .big George O. Gaylord racket s,tore build ing nearly three stories of the walks of which are up, the building to cost probably 515,000. The traveling man asked if U was possible that other streets in the city ehowed a building; activity in keeping with .that on Front street and was as sured that this street was only a "fair sample". And in proof of this asser tion were sighted the handsome resi dence of Hon. John D. Bellamy on Market street ; that of Captain Donald IMacRae on Dock street; that of Mr. IW. H. Sprunt on Third street and hundreds of less costly but really hand some residences, going up in all parts of the city and last but far from being least, the splendid $30,000 .Walker memorial hospital, corner Tenth and Red Cross streets. All this building, too, 34 shrdlucmfwypcmf too, is, the gentleman was assured, a monument to the benefits of wjiite supremacy" which has dominated the city government since the revolution of 1S9S since which time every avenue of 'Wilmington's commercial life has been quickened many fold. It is "generally conceded that .there is no city In Uhe state making such rapid strides in the matter of internal and commercial improvement as is Wilmington. ORDERED TO SAN FRANCISCO Mr. Lonnle B.

A GREAT DAY AT CLINTON AYCQCK GREETED BY 4,000 PEOPLE- MANY MEN ARMED TO THE TEETH Tbey Were Indignant at Threats That Aycock should Not Speak and Went Prepared to Enforce Order Proces sion h Mile Long -Ix Floats "With Ladles-SOO Red !;irts In Line-Pow erful Speeches by Woodward and Aycock -Some of Aycock's Sayings. The vile threat made by some popu lists that Aycock would not be allowed to speak at Clinton according to the schedule and arrangements of the democratic executive committee caused such a wave of indignation to sweep over Sampson and Duplin and the other adjacent counties, that fully M a. M iour inousana people, most oi me men "armed to the teeth." were at Clinton yesterday determined that Mr Aycock should address the people. Among the number were about 800 red shirts, 200 of whom were from Duplin. and about 1,000 of the county's fairest daughters. The procession that met Mr. Aycock and Mr. Woodward to escort them to the speakers' stand was over a mile long. It was lead by the K. of P. band of Goldsboro, followed by six beautifu. floats filled with ladies all dressed In white. Then came the Clinton band, followed by the long line of red shirts. The procession itself was a magnifi cent demonstration, the long line of men and women gaily waving minia ture flags and cheering lustily for Ay- cock and white supremacy, and the stirring music from two bands caused the blood to thrill and was a sufficient warning that trouble might be expected if the speakers were In any way inter fered with. Arriving at the speakers' sta.id which was decorated in white and covered with ivy and flowers and was situated in a beautiful grove of state ly elms, the chairman called on Rev. Mr. Douglas, of the Baptist church, to open the meeting and Mr. Douglas offered a beautiful and fervent appeal to the great throne above to protect and watch over this state and people in this time of excitement. Mr. J.'O. Carr Introduced in a short speech Hon. F. A. Woodward, of Wil son. For one hour and a quarter Mr. Woodward made one of the most pow erful arguments and clearest exposi tions on the pending issues of any of the campaign. He was often inter rupted with applause and as he would score point after point on the populists and republicans the crowd would cheer most heartily. Mr. E. W. Carr, in a short but im pressive talk, closing with the words, "In the presence of these beautiful women 'and brave men, I crown you governor of North Carolina and wel come you among us," he introduced Mr. Aycock who as he advanced to the front of the rostrum was greeted with prolonged cheering, lasting for several minutes amid cries for "Aycock," "White Supremacy," "Down with nig ger rule," etc. Mr. Aycock spoke for for over an! hour, making one of the most masterly political addresses ever heard in this state. His Impassioned manner of talking, and his impresive words, all so earnestly spoken, mixed with his brilliant humOr and apt anec dotes so well illustrating his points, make him an ideal campaigner for the great mass of people. His thoughts are conveyed in beautiful yet exceed ingly simple language. Oftimes his reference to different subjects would Cause pandemonium 'to break loose and when he finally concluded the crowd yelled as one man "go on," but Mr. Aycock said this was the one hun dred and third speech of this cam paign delivered by him and he did not feel able to continue longer. As he sat down a magnificent basket of the most exquisite flowers was presented to him by Mr. Henry E. Faison. who said, "In behalf of th womanhood of Sampson county I present this as a loving tes timonial to you as their champion, ex pressive of their respect and udmira tion." Mr. Aycock briefly acknowledged the beautiful gift and this scene caus ed great enthusiasm. Among other things said by our next governor we can give but a few extracts and do not intend this to be a summary of his ad dress: "This year one issue brings all white men together and, I find perfect unity existing between you and there is no estrangement." "My candidacy for governor has not near the importance for you or for me as has the great issue now- pending before you." "When the republicans entered the state In 1868 they found it in despair and poverty and the first thing they aia was to aisrramcnise zo.ooo wnites and confer the ballot on the negTO. "The democratic party never has, never will and never can disfranchise a single white man, for the demo cratic party is the white man. Finally the democratic party came Into power Peace settled over the land men re turned to their labors. Prosperity came to the nprmlf Sa.fAtv an 1 pnnfl oider was everywhere because behind the party was the great sturdy white man." He told of the Wilmington riot, but aecrarea max now wo do not want your pistol and rifle but onlv vonr "Hal lo, which "executes the freesnan's will as lightning1 does the will nf rtrwl " He discussed the amendment fully ana rorever silenced those who claim that white men will be disfranchised unaer its workings and yet 75,000 ne negroes will be rip-rrrivfv! rr "h. haiirvt "I stanol here land dnanfl." "h rwn- tinued, "for the white boys and: white gins or tnis state schools, so that they may oe aoie ro learn and enter into competition with anybody for all that is oest in lire, i stand and the demo cratic nartv stands for fhv vrwn pmio in every home and the boys and girls to reaa its teachings to their illiterate fathers and mothers.' "We swear by everything we count! noiy. we win suiter no other day of ne gro rule in North Carolina. We do swear tnat the man who stands for the neero now shall stand far him foivwr The man who refuses to vote for the amendment is forever cursed and damned by his race in this state We don't care what party you belong to, you have the same blood in your veins that these beautlul vounsr Larilaa . v-rwrr wives and sisters and sweethearts have ana in their name I de-mfand vnnr ai Jegiance your life and your death if neea oe." "This is not only the' white man's year but the white woman's year when we mate" the pledges to them that for ever they shall be safe 4X. any timejn any place in North Carolina." And so on he went speaking words of wisdom to the .multitude and doing the cause great good. Space prevents any attempt to make a lovger report. At the conclusion of his able address Mr. Carr came forward and said that on next Tuesday there would be a joint discussion between Hon. Rodolph Duffy and Cy. Thompson and he . in vited all that possibly would to be present. Following this came the great basket pic-nic On tables built all around the court house square there was every kind of food prepared by the women of Samp son. The mammoth crowd ate all they could and still there was some to spare. In every way the demonstration was pronounced one of the most successful of the whole campaign and it showed very clearly that Old Sampson Is in line and will go up to the polls on Au gust 2nd and roll up a tremendous majority for the constitutional amend ment. PENDER COUNTY DEMOCRACY Three Hundred lied Shirts On Horse T.ack and Many More on Foot-Pro cession Half a Mile Long Hon. F. A. V -ol ward- reat Speech-Rain - Interrupted Aycock in Midst of Pow erful Speech Picnic Dinner Aban doned Hecaueot Continued Italn It was a magnificent demonstration paid to white supremacy and its chief leader, Aycock. yesterday at Burgaw when the staunch democracy of Pen der, together with their friends from the surrounding counties, numbering in all about 3,000,p articipated in one of the most enthusiastic rallies of the whole campaign. The procession that escorted "Gov ernor" Aycock from the train to the speakers' rostrum, was about a half mile long and was headed by the chief marshal and his six aides, followed by .the Second Regiment band of this city. There were three gaily decorated floats containing 44 most beautiful young ladies, all robed in purest white. After this was a long procession, about 300 men on horseback clad in the sig nificant red shirts and followed by an other hundred red-shlrters on foot. The procession marched through the principal streets of the town and aroused unbounded enthusiasm. The meeting was called to order by Mr. R. G. Grady and was opened with a very fervent prayer by Rev. D. P, McGeachy of the Presbyterian church. ilr. Grady said that for the last ten days the democratic executive com mittee, in order to relieve Mr. Aycock of the terible strain of speaking so much had been sending out able and well known m'en with him. "To-day we have one," he said, "well known to everybody in the state, Hon. F. A Woodward', of Wilson. Mr. Woodward was greeted with v.Tid cheers. For one hour and fifteen min utes he made a most imoressive and mastlerly address, such a speech as is calculated to do much good. "The political battle is nearly over," he began, "and the victory almost won. We are going to win this victory be cause the democratic party represent all that is best in the life, thoughts and aspirations of the people of this state! The democratic party is going to win by reason of the character of the men who compose it. It is going to win by the record of the republican party wnile in control of this state. It is go ing to win because by its record it is the only party that can give us a good government and peace. It is going to "win because an appeal is made to the white men to save the state. He briefly, but Impressively, de scribed the horrois of the reconstruc tion end declared that the republican party "was the party of lawlessness, disorder and vice whenever it was in control." He told of the glorious redemption of the state by the people headed by the great commoner, Vance, and showed the difference in every way of our people under the democratic and republican rule. He compared the senators sent from this state in the past to those who now disgrace us in that body. Butler and Holton received a severe dubbing for their despicable scheme of resorting to federal interference and having democratic registrars arrested. Intense enthusiasm was aroused by .his reference to the Rose Hill affair 'where a registrar was arrested at the instance of Marion Butler only this week. Mr. Woodard paid a macrilficent trib ute to the democratic p-- cs of the state, for their work in this ' .mpaign and named The Messenger ai ne of four who are most deserving of praise. He referred in strong term? to the amendment and declared positively that it would not disfranchise a single white man while under Its rule, 75,000 negroes will be deprived of the ballot. The policy of the democratic party, he declared to be to give to the people the power to govern themselves. Mr. Woodard's magnificent effort was highly complimented. He was followed by Mr. J. P. Bland, who in a few words, eloquently intro duced Mr. Aycock. Our next governor started out on what is considered would have been one of the clearest expositions of the amendment of any of his addresses, but after speaking about 12 minutes, a ter rible rain began to fall, and at Mr. Ay cock's request, despite the frequent cries of "go on," the meeting was ad journed. For the few minutes he did speak, he completely captivated his au dience. By his sparkling wit and bril liant sarcasm he makes an ideal cam paigner. So many were disappointed that an unusually large crowd will go over to Clinton to-day to hear him. The rain continued all the rest of the afternoon and so completely broke up the big basket picnic dinner, which had been provided by the women of Pender. They had prepared abundantly and bountifully and all were disappointed at the necessary abandonment of the dinner. In the afternoon in the court house the Wilmington Second Regiment band gave a concert which was enjoyed by a large crowd. Many of the visitors, including all the Wilmington delega tion and a Messenger representative, returned to the city on the regular train at 6 o'clock. -Cr " Eating and Sleeping.

The constitutional amendment cam paign in Wilmington so far as speak ing is concerned will be brought to a close on Tuesday night when Hon. John D. 'Bellamy and Hon. A.M. Wad dell will address the white men of the city on the issues of :he campaign. The speaking will be at the firemen's tournament grand stand if the weath er is good and if it rains the court house will be used. As previously an nounced ladies will be especially wel comed and .there will no doubt be many of them present whether the meeting is at the grand stand or in the court house. This will be the first and only opportunity the people will have to hear these two popular leaders. The first ward white supremacy club will meet tomorrow night at S o'clock in Hibernian hall. The club officers have arranged to serve refreshments ice cream, etc and the meeting will be a stirring climax for their series of campaign meetings. There is no end of good natured riv alry among the leaders of the several wards in the contest for the handsome silk banner to be awarded by the ex ecutivecommittee to the ward which polls the largest per cent of the regis tered vote. As announced elsewhere in .this issue, the banner is completed and presents a very handsome appear ance. The Messenger is in receipt o! the following card signed "Third Ward," which will convey some idea of the vigorous efforts which will be made by the several wards to win the "white supremacy banner," to wit: "Talk is cheap, but it takes votes to carry off the white supremacy banner. Other wards may "blow," but when the count is made up on the night of August 2nd the emblem of pure and unspotted white supremacy will unfurl its folds over. "THIRD WARD." There are only four days now until the election and thus far, with all the stirring red shirt demonstrations and instances when the danger of a clash of faction or races seemed impend ing, there has not been a single trouble of any serious nature anywhere in this section. A prominent political lead er said last night that in his opinion there will not be unless there is some move on the part of Butler and his henchmen to block the election by in junction or otherwise and if this were done it would certainly result in very serious clashes and blood shed as the people will not allow any interference no matter from what source U erne nates. The same gentleman said that in his opinion the majority for the amend ment is sure to be not less than 40,000 and may reach as high as 50,000. Butler and his crowd realize that they haven't the least showing of de feating .the amendment at the polls and that is the reason for the existence of the apprehension that some injunc tion or other preceding may be sprung upon them as a last desperate resort to block or prevent the election. How ever such a move certainly could not prevent the election and any grounds on which it could be made would be merely trumped up and. usin? a strong phrase, "could not hold water." About the only place in eastern Car olina where trouble is feared, barring that which would arise from blocking the elction, is at Clinton, where Rodolph Duffy and Dr. Cyrus Thomp son meet for a joint debate. That sec tion is a populist stronghold and .there will be a big crowd of both populists and red shirts. The latter will go, too, determined to see to it that Mr. Duffy has fair play to give "Cy" Thompson, the populist mogul" a sound drub bing. TIIE BANNER IS FINISHED Will be Presented to Ward Which Polls Largest Percent of Registered Vote To be on Exhibition Tomorrow Mr. E. V. Rchards on yesterday af ternoon completed. the work of paint ing the handsome silk banner which Is to be awarded to the city ward which polls ithe greatest per cent of her reg istered vote and it will be placed on exhibition in one of the down town stores tomorrow. The banner is uniquely designed and handsomely executed. It is 3x5 feet and is made of heavy red silk. Across the face of the banner is a wide white band. On the banner is the shield of North Carolina iri gold and above it in gold letter "White Suprem acy 1900," and just under the shield in similar lettering is "Constitutional Amendment." The managers in all the wards seem bent on winning the prize and boast that every registered vote will be polled. One gentleman said last night that the committee had just as well Ibegin at once to arrange for a banner for every ward in the city as this would be tie only way in which the problem of a general tie-up could be solved. At no time is man secure from at tacks of such disorders of the stomach as cholera morbus, cramps and diarr hoea; but these complaints are com mon during the heated term, when it is dangerous to neglect them. Pain Killer is a remedy that has never fail ed and the severest attacks have been cured by it. Avoid substitutes, there is but one Paln-Killer, Perry Davis. 25c and 50c Joint Discussion at White Oak - The Messenger learns that at White Oak on Wednesday the 25th there was a Joint discussion of the issues of the campaign between George C Butler, populist, and C. M. McLean, democrat. There were fully 200 voters, present and the discussion resulted In a great victory for the democrats. A gentle man familiar with that section says that both White Oak and the county at large will giv ek good majority for the amendment and the democratic ticket. ; .-, . Wilmington Harkets.
