to vote with us this year in the elec

their party has no future save to

. They now see tbat negroes would not
be in office and power over white

SINCERE POPULISTS.
Will Not Become Tools to Perpetuate
Negro Rule.
Charlotte News.
The honest and sincere Populists
in this State are not this year going
to allow themselves to be used as
tools by the Republican party to
perpetuate negro rule in North Caro-
ina- One of the most consistent
Populists is Editor Allison, of the
Reformer, the Populist paper pub-
ishod at King s Mountain. In a
recent issuaof his paper he advocates
the election of the Populist part of
the Rppunlican-Populist fusion coun
tv ticket in Cleveland county and the
election of the Democratic candidates
who have Republicans for opponents.
Thfltjpaper says:
'Last election we slid out or the
Republican end of the county ticket
quietly, but this year we will be more
1ru.uk and repudiate the deal openly.
We cannot endorse the Republican
and Populist platforms at the same
time. We cannot knowingly stand
with one foot on one and the other
on the other of Fnch ultra plat
forms."
There are many Populisfs in
Mfcklenburg who will not support
any fusion that may be arranged
with the negro gold bug party.
Sincere Populists all over North
Carolina, disgusted at the state of
affairs brought about by lusion with
the Republican party, are returning
to Democracy, knowing that voting
the Democratic ticket is the way to
restore white rule and good govern
ment ia the state.

"Pen, Pen, are you theret Ar you
there. Pen? Supper's ready!" old Mrs.
Willip-nn called shrilly, but in vain, for
Pene f e had gone out to keep her tryst
beneath the copper beech.
As she walked quickly away to tho
try sting tree her thoughts were busy back
at that night just a week ago, when she
had stood beneath those purple, drooping
breaches with Herbert Maclean beside her,
and he had whispered intoxicating sugges
tions into her little pink ear; but, best of
all, he vowed that he loved her. He didn't
ask her to be his wife, but he had asked
her to meet him again beneath the beech
at sundown, and well, he loved her. The
rest was sure to come right.
She could see the path to the village
from where she stood, and Foon in tho dis
tance she espied a speck coming nearer.
Yes, It was he! But as the "speck" ad
vanced she saw that it consisted of two
figures, not one only, as she had hoped
two figures, both men. Herbert was
marching along, swinging his cane, cut
ting off heads of dandelions as he came.
The other was shorter and broader. He
carried a stick, but he did not swing it.
At last they came so near that she could
distinguish their faces clearly.
" Hello I The little wench Isn't here
yet! Who'd 'a' thought of her giving her-
aelf such airs?"
"Is this the chosen spot? The altar of
Cupid?" asked another voice, a strangely
full, melodious voice.
"This Is the place, sure enough," re
sponded Herbert. ''What she means by
not being here first I can't imagine."
"Not being here first?" A smile of
amusement played round the other's lips.
"Is that the way you do it 'ladles first'
even at the trysting tree?"
"Women are always so beastly unpunc
tual," said Herbert. "They can't fix a
time and keep to it, so I always name a
quarter of an hour earlier than I mean to
appear."
"Always?" There was a note of scorn
ful interrogation in the tone.
"You don't suppose," Herbert laughed
foolishly "you don't suppose that this Is
a solitary lnstanoe? Ha! ha!
'I suppose you ve met her often be
fore?"
"Not this particular 'her,' my dear boy.
But girls are cheap. One must amuse
oneself."
Amuse oneself? Girls cheap?" repeated
the stranger angrily. " Do you mean to
say you're such a thorough paced cad as
to"
"Draw it mild, old chap! The girl's all
right. We're both playing at tho same
game.
'You re sure of that?" Maclean stirred
uneasily beneath the other's flashing eyes.
You re sure she holds things as cheap as
you do?"
"Well, Jove! old fellow, really 1 never
asked her. She ia a pretty little thing.
It.'s dull in the country without some fun.
And I asked her to keep the tryst
"Never imagining that it would bo
kept," Interrupted the other scornfully.
"Oh, yes. she s only a girl, l expected
her to have kept the tryst. To tell you tho
truth, I expected she'd have 'kept it till
called for.' I expected she d have been
here long ago. "
"well, I'm off. You and I don't agree
In our ideas about women and honor, you
know. We never did.
'And never shall, old chap, while you're
so beastly straitlaced and old maidish,"
said Herbert, laughing.
But the other had turned on his heel
and was striding across the soft green'
sward in a whirlwind of disgust.
"Girls are cheap!" How the words an
gered him! Was this girl this pretty
Penelope really making herself so cheap
in her so called lover's eyes?
If Maurice Dcane could have seen the
pretty village Penelope" just then, he
would have needed no further answer.
The stars were all out as Pen crept
home In the summer night. Her grand
mother was napping before the dying em
bers, so, slipping off her shoes, tho girl
stole softly up the stairs to her own little
chamber.
"So that's the way tho cat jumps, Is
it?" Herbert Maclean stood facing his
friend some weeks later, a gleam of amuse
ment In his eyes. "The old grandmother
Is dead, and Pen Is heiress to the family
stocking.' "
"Heiress to a great deal, it seems," re
sponded Maurice Deane slowly. " The old
woman was much better off. than people
thought. Penelope has quite a fortune.
"And Penelope has smiled on you, eh?"
sneered Herbert jealously. "You didn't
go to see the old grandmother without
knowing It was worth your while. Oh,
you doctors are such precious humbugs !
Maurice didn t vouchsafe any reply to
the taunt. He had gone to Drybridge three
months ago as locum ton ens to the village
doctor. His time had nearly expired, but
he had made many friends, and the little
flower faced girl and her aged grandmoth
er were among the closest. Maclean 'e
name had never been mentioned.
Maurice Deane wished her grandmother
had left the girl a beggar or that she had
not died just then. There Was something
he had latoly longed to say, and the fam
ily "stocklngfnl" seemed to form a bar
rier. He wasn't the kind of man to whom
girls were "cheap," and Pen seemed to
film the fairest that ever breathed.
Herbert Maclean walked homeward in a
meditative frame of mind.
However, it wasn't too late to mend, so
before lie elept he penned and posted a
beat little note. Would Pen moot him at
the old tryst the next night? .
The next night he was In good time at
the appointed .spot. As he approached he
aaw that no one was there, only a whito
patch, an envelope, was pinned to the soft
brown bark, while on the mossy ground
at the foot of the ancient beech lay a par'
cel. The note was addressed to him in
Pen's own neat little writing I
MR. HERBERT MACLEAN.
To be kept till caUed for.
Hastily tearing open the note, he mas
tered the contents:
I came that night. I could not help hearing
what yon said. Take back your promise, take
back all yon have ever given me, and please
understand it Is "to be kept till called for."

Hon Frank I). Winston, of lWtie,
who has been organizing white gov
eminent unions in tiii- Sen mil dis
trict having alxoir, completed t hrt
work t organization in th counties
comprising that district, has nt the
requeHt. of Chairman Simmons con
sented tn take charge ot the work ol
organizing these unions throughout
the State. Mr. Simmons not having
the time to devote to that woi k him
self.
i Mr. Winston is one of the ablest
and one ot the best workers in tlv
party, und he will do his work tfi. r
oughlyjind well.
Speaking of the good results bei;ig
accomplished by the organiz itiitu of
these unions, Mr. Winston last, i:ight
said:
"The name 'White Governni.'iit,
Union' explains fully the work of this
organizttion. The white man run it
rule in North Carolina and to bring
about that result there mint be n un
ion of white men.
"These clubs are for fTeoti ve cam
paign work. I shall proceed at, once
to organize a working body of white
men in each precinct, in North Cart,
lina. These men will have charge of
the campaign work in each locality.
The tact is this in a neighborhood
Ii rht. The victory for better govern
ment in North t'arolina is to be won
around the tin -sides. These clubs
will lo'ik after registration, will see
that all white men go to the polls,
will distribute literature and do the
entire work of the campaign. Every
white man who loves his wife and
children will be given work to do in
this campaign. Several enunties
have been organiz-d and very ellec
live work is being done.
"In several precincts men who
voted the Populist K -piibliean t.ieket,
last year have been iniide pi evident
of tbe clubs and pot on important
committees.
"The tent for membership is simple
n nd plain, and is as follows: Every
man who desires whi'e government
in N i th Carolina and is willing to
use every practicable and honorable
means to restore while piipremaey
therein and who propones to support
candidates pledged to t fl id, that
purpose is eligible to membership."
