the impression has been circulated, relative
to the ensuing debate. that have been

advice of others, since papers in my posses
sion will show to the contrary. deem il
right and proper to correct the error. Here
are the facts; The first meation, ever, to my
eiuu- Discussion which has resulted in the
agreement published IN the Interior Journal,
Of March l7ih, was letter datei DE. 10,
1875, handed me by an oJleidi member Of the
Christian Church, with this statement: "Now,
send for your best man, and we'll have our
differences thoroughly investigated" This
letter contained 6re propositions for debate,
which, 10 be brief, need not be specified.
From tss challenge grew a tiresome cor
respondence, more bulky than edifying,
which would have closed uithout debate,
siace the writers could not agree upon four
propositions; but for the Intervention Of the
good brother through whose hands our let
tiers were passing, who seemed 50 dnrious for
the contest, that he yentared to submit tro
questions which he thought would be ao-
ceplable. Let me quote his exact words:
Il am anxious To have the differences of
our respective Churches fairly aud fully
placed before the people of Stanford. In
my opinion, We have been misrepresented
by some Of the Churches Of Slanford-I
hope not Intentionally. propose, there

We have agreed upon" Now, this | regard
as the seeond challenge, for il was in conse-
quenee OF being informed by me that the
correspondence must close, and that in.
tended to pua.irh it. To prove this, | quote
the closing sentence Of the same lctter Il

Two subjects occupy the attention OF the
occidentals at present, the coming elections
and contracts for cross ties on the Railroad.
We think we are entitled to two Democrat
&c candidates for the Judgeship, from our
end Of the county. But il is feared We will
not be able to harmo 'ire on any designated
two. n our late Legislature had not been
in such haste to adjourn, we might have
scnt up a petition for local active are
powerful on 10 al legislation giving us
legal title to the o1ice for all time to come.
But we are too late for this.

and there il a prospect that this branch o;
construction will soon be in active progress
It is noticed that in this, as in all else per

will be close and impartial. The bridge
builders are progressing rapidly with their
work at the crossing of Briggs branch,
which will close that line of work from
Shelby City, to Kings Mountain.

THE coming Convention Of the
Democratic party at Danville, for the
purpose Of nominating a candidate fur
Judge Of the Court of Common Pleas,
should be fully attended. and the ut
most harmony should prevail. The
sole objec, mus; be to select man
who is worthy, capab.e, and honest.
II that l. done, we have M fear Of the
result Of the election. We presume
the opposite party will have candid
ate in the field, aud We must meet

and settle for all time, the question, as
to whether or not, this new Court di--
