CAEE,EEEsz1FE COUNTY.

We have been so accustomed, after
each election, to take Off our hat and
bow our recognition of the splendid
services rendered by Carteret county,
that We regret very much that on this
occasion this custom is s'more hon

We are not altogether satisfied OF
the real causes which have brought
about this remarkable change in Cart
eret. Almost every county in the
State was aroused AS the citizens Of
the State have never been aroused
before, and the white men Of North
Carolina have, with more unanimity
than ever, arrayed themselves in solid
line against tho black coherts Of Radi-

A Hold Robbery.

About 4 o'clock on last Thursday
afternoon one of the boldest of the
many bold robberies that wei have been
called upon of late to report was perpe
trated at the residence ofDr. W. E. Free
man, on North Front, between Chest
nut and Mulberry streets. The front
and rear doors of the house were open
and the housekeeper was sitting in the
passage, sewing, facing the front
door, when sneak thief entered the
back door and, proceeding to DR.. Free
mans room, quietly made up bundle
of his best clothes, among them new
suit of broadcloth just sent homo from
the tailor's, and then quietly decamp-
ed, carrying off with him also a set of
studs aud q COLLAR button that we're on
the bureau at the time. AS he emcr-
ged from the room he was seen by the
housekeeper, who hailed him, as also
did some colored children in the yard,
but he succeeded in making off with
his booty. He is described as short,
thick-set yellow fellow, about seven
teen or eighteen years old, but his
local habitation and his name are un
known. Information was lodged at
the police office ard it is possible the
stolen articles may yet be recovered.
The value of the articles is estimated
at about $120.

1900. The first District may we'll feel
proud of the exchange from Cobb to

Col. A. M. Waddell obtained ma

This reimbursement of Col Waddell
by the people Of that District meets
with the appreciation of the Conserva-
tives of the whole State.
Capt. Jos. J. Davis, in the Fourth

gain of some 1900. The warmest
friends of Mr.. Davis could not have
desired more fattering result, and

placed in more honorable hands.
In the Fifth District Gen. A. M.
Scales obtained q majority of some
1,6OO. Gen. Scales is fit successor
to Gen. Leach, and will do honor to
his District and his State.
| Hon. w. M. Robbins has been re-
turned from the Sixth District by a
majority of some 1000, carrying every
county in his District. We are pleased
to see this hearty endorsement of Mr..
Robbins by his people.
In the Seventh and Eighth Districts
Mr.. Ashe and General Vance have
been returned by large majorities,
General Vance beating Plato Durham,
the Independent, by handsome ma

We have seen letter to a gentle
man in this city from Washington,
Beaufort county, with the following
report of the election in that county,
which does our very soul good:
''The first thing I must inform you of
is the great political revolution in our
county election, and all done by white
men, save here and there few ne
groes. From an average majority
against US two years ago of 191, we
have carried it this election by an
average of $50. John G.. Blount, as
Superior Court Clerk, VS.. the
most popular man on the Radical side,
and who has kinsmen everywhere and
a man liked by all sides, and who is
beaten now only because he could not
say out and out that he would not
support Cobb, and Cobb, you know,
is a civil rights man. Blount beat
him 263, and our Sheriff beat by 742.
Yeates, our Congressman, Al. Cobb
beat Carter 800. Our election passed
off quietly. Our Congressman, Major
Yeates, is a clever, Christian gentle
man, and every inch a man.

Dunnell Don't Like It.

DuuNC11 DUH OlAC 1ts
The GRANGE ADVANCE seems to be
in very bad odor with all salary-grab-
bing, log-rolling politicians and their
creatures who do their dirty work as
editors. We don't know that we have
any special reason to complain Of this,
for we are not aware of ever having
done anything to merit their good will
or favor, and we think it more than
likely they will continue to like US no
better as time rolls on.
Here is the way one of Dunnells
chaps, editor of the Window Reporter,
unbosoms himself to The GRANGE AD-
VANCE.
We have not seen a more wilful attempt
to prejudice and mislead the public than
the last issue Of the ADVANCE 1t is full of
quotations, and dirty commentshpon them,
from Mr.. Dunnell's speech before the Owa-
tonna Convention, and is step lower than
we had expected from paper that claims
leadership among the Patrons Of Husband
ry. Why not come out manfully, and open
ly denounce him, rather than to take SEN
tences and use them in q disconnected sense
to mislead aud prejudice :? We admire an
honest warfare, but this kind Of skulking
to gain political end is both contemplate
and degrading, and is unworthy paper
that seeks the leadership Of so noble an or
der as the Grange.
Of course be does not claim that We
misquoted Mr.. Dunnell. What then,
is he mad because we quoted him cor
rectly? Or perhaps it is the "dirty
comments" that has nauseated the Re-
porter man and made him slop over so.
But if so, why does he not point out one
ofthe " dirty" things 50 that if it really
is dirty" we might take it back and
wash it up a little.
He says that we used sentences from
Mr.. Dunnell's speech in disconnected
sense to mislead and prejudice. But of
course the Reporter does not show a
single instance wherein we have distort-
ed the sense, changed the meaning, or
in any possible way done Mr.. Dunnell
the slightest injustice, because the fact
is it can't. We defy it to show that
we have not fairly represented Mr.. Dun
nell in any case.
The Reporter wants us to speak
plain and not to skulk. If we did not
speak plain in reference to the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Dunnell in our issue of the
22d Of July, plain words can't be found
in the English language. If the Re-
porter knows Of anything's palmer in
that language, won'tit please point them
out to us, for they are just what we are
after, and the salary grabber shall have
the benefit Of them without delay.
The fact in the matter is that the Re-
porter is for some reason, whether that
reason be material, tangible and visi-
bic one. or an immaterial, intangible,
and invisible one, for some reason, we
say, it is supporting a man whom its
senseof consistency and better judgment
can scarcely uphold.
We would call the attention of the
Reporter to letter from Window that
will appear in our next issue which is
crowded out Of the present. It shows
how this nomination was secured.

Not a chinch bug has been seen or

and the crops are generally fair but not
large. Accidents will happen in the
best regulated families, although candor
compels us to say that we claim no re-
lationship to that family whatever.
Editor Rice County Journal:
In compliance with the call Of Gov. Davis
our Grange has raised over hundred dol
lars for the relief Of the destitute in the
grasshopper region. There was goodly
number of five dollar subscriptions If
some means we're provided for canvassing
this favored region, we have no doubt an
equal or greater amount could be secured
from those who are not members of our
Order. The Grange Mill Company sent
fifteen barrels Of -four. There will be
great suffering unless all respond to the
call. Who will see that the good work goes
on. "It is more blessed to give than to re-
