party In spite of Circuses "Ground Swclls,n big
spiced gum and pine polls, transparencies, COW
bells, gas music big dinners, fireworks, &C., &C.,
and especially in spite of Messrs Badger, Graham,
Morchead and Vance, and the "threats of hang
ing"-n spite of all these and to the utter disgust
of Know Nothings generally, old Rowan has tri-
umphantly asserted the Constitutional equality of
the South and has recorded her first Democratic rote
for Presd mt in favor of Breckenridge and Lane.
Rowan is once more master of the field What
think we of it We Know Nothing Executive Commit
teernen of Wake? VIII you make Rowan your
campaign battle ground again? We hardly think
you will.
In 1S4s, in Ro van. Taylor beat Cass, the Demo-
cratic candidate, 900 votes. In 1852, Scott beat
Pierce the Democratic candidate, 164 votes In
1856, Fillmore beat Buchanan, the present Demo
cratic President, S6 votes. In 1860 Breckenridge,
the Democratic candidate carries the county over
his Wing Know Nothing opponent, Bell, by three
cotes. The Democracy of Rowan, 1t will be OBJ.
served continued to gain upon our opponents cleo
ton after election, till now, under the banner Of
Breckenridge and Lane and Southern Constitutional
Rights, the enemy is routed. Three cheers for the
Unterrfed Democracy of Rowan.
Our Democratic brethren of Rowan have achieved
glorious victory, but they have not done as we'll
as they could have DONE To show this we need
only state that the Democratic vote not nearly
all poed, whilst opponents nearly did their
best In the August election Pool received 1913
the full X. N. vote, and now Bell receives 1923
only So less. In the same election Gov. Ellis re-
ceived ll6O, not the full Democratic vote, and now
Breckenridge gets only 1926, nearly $50 less-show
ing that about l5n Democrats failed to turn out
that three Democrats to one X. N. renamed at
home. We trust our Democratic friends will re-
member this, and not again rely upon the strength
of the party.
Douglas has received in the whole county tAir-
teen Gates cut of an aggregate of 2049! That's
glory enough for one day for the Rowan Democracy

SOUTHERN IANuFAcrURE.-We have been shown
the Rock Island Cassmeres, manufactured by
McSSrS. iouI & WriSton, of Charlotte, n C., and
pleased to learn that they received at the Agr
cultural Fair which has just terminated here, the
highest premium awarded in their class. These
goods surpaSs in beauty and intrinsic worth any
thing of the lind we remember to have seen, and
should attract the attention of purchasers wherever
they may DC exhibited We noticed among the
samples displayed, several grades and styles, any
ony of which would grace the figure of the most
fastdious, and are fair opponents of Southern en-
terprisc in tic old North State at the same time
clearly proving that we have already at doors
the means of favorably competing with any manu-
factory IN the country Me>srs. Young & Wriston
commenced in small way several years ago, and
have triumphantly borne down all competition from
the North, attaining perfection in the art of wool
manufacture that has established their goods as
indispensable article of trade with the buyers of
this and other markets. The goods are made of
pure wool. free from the cheats and mixtures often
found in Northern fabrics, and are put up in hand
some and attractive style. By their energy and
perseverance, these gentlemen have built up bust
ness of about one hundred thousand dollars annual
ly. overcoming the obstacles SO long and urgently
urged against Southern enterprise and made the
Rock Island Mills an important institution of the
South. With all our heart. we wish them greater
success, than they even yet have enjoyed-for they
have demonstrated conclusivcy that there is mate
rial in midst sufficient to crafty all our wants
and tastes so far adornng the outer man is con-
