HAYES and che South.

President Hayes has made g good
start towards reconciling the South
10 his administration. He has cut
loose from the "bToody shirt element
of his party, andit is to be hoped, has
burnt tho bridge behind him. Al
though he has made no public decla-
ration Of it, his intimate friends and
advisers declare that it is his intens
ton to disarm Southern distrust and
promote peace in that section on the
basis of Justice and protection to all.
It is declared that tho nomination of
Senator Key to tho Cabinet was tho
initial step 10 this policy.
The fact that he has ignored in his
Cabinet appointments, the corrupt
manipulators and leaders of the Re-
publican party, who surrounded Grant
and hauntod the "bloody Shirt" 80
vigorously during tho campaign, gives
encouragement to the hopo that he
desires to do justice to tho South. The
first need of the South at present, as
Ben Hill declared the other day, is
roform in her civil service. He said
tho prosont force is incompetent, cor>
rupt and oppressive. Tho mails were
bunglingly handled; the customs woro
inefllcicntly collected, and the revenue
officers were brutal and wanton. These
wrongs could be righted only by
putting better men in office. This is
true, every word OF it, and if Prcsi-
dent Hayes desires TO bring about
poace and reconciliation, he canS bost
do it by removing tho ignorant, in
efficient, brutal and wanton crow,
who wore placed in Office under Gen.
Grants ministration. There aro
fow men, wo will admit, holding minor
Federal Off COS in tho South who arc
competent and honest, but n largo
majority of them wero put in solely
on account Of their politics, rcdgard-
less Of fitness or qualification. Their
whole aim has been to draw thcr
salaries and run the Radical party.
They would furnish evidence on
short notice to manufacture material
for the "bloody shirt" Their ontire
stock in trade has been abuse, slander
and misrepresentation of the Southern
people, and if Hayes desires to build
up confidence in his administration in
the South, he must get rid of these
fellows and appoint honest and COM
potent mon in their place. This it is
declared is his purpose, and we shall
wait patiently to 500 him put it into
execution. Whether his object is to
divide the Southern Democrats and
build up white Republican party, or
to subserve tho best interest of the
country it is immaterial with the
Southern people at this time. Their
only desire is to havo good govern
ment and be lot alone and allowed TO
CONTROL their own State affairs. If
this is done, then they will givo to
MIR. Hayes administration all the aid
and lawful support necessary to make
it successful, but rs to abandoning
the Democl attic party there is not
tho remotest possibility of it. When
the time comes they will be found
witE a solid front, stronger than ever
and roady to wipe out the great wrong
done them and the nation, by count
ing in Hayes by fraudulent means.

morning, on his way to Missouri,

DR.. Sullivan, of Calamine, is
with us again this week. He
reports everything quiet and the

We learn that q man was
killed near Bates}ille, one day
this week. He had a difficulty
with another party relative to
weighing some cotton, when his
antagonist dealt HIM a heavy
blow with his fist causing his
d6ath.
The party we referred to as
passing through here last week
under a charge Of horse stealing
in Woodruff comfy, was one
Hiram Gilly, who, about three
years ago, stole some money
and a watch from G. w. David
sons store in this place, then
mounted a mule belonging to
VIM. Cochran and attempted to
flee the country. lie was shortly
overaauled, brought back and
lodged in jail at tl4ls place, but
soon after escaped custody, and
nothing more was heard Of him
until he passed through here
last week under the charge first
referred to, and securely chained
to the animal hel was riding.
1t IS to be hoped that he will
now be consigned to a term in
the penitentiaFy, and that sew
eral years will elapse ere he has
another opportunity to plunder
and steal.

That to-day We appear in holiday attire,
is because Of the sixth anniversary of our
first appearance. Five years have passed
since first we made our bow to the public,
and though those years have brought disas-
ter to many a newspaper enterprise, to us
they have been period of almost uninter-
rupted prosperity. True, we have not grown
rich, but industry and proper management
have always enabled us to add little by little
to our stock Of material, and to-day we can
truly claim the CARBON ADVOCATE Printing
office to be equal to any like establishment
in the county. We are now prepared to do
any kind of Job Printing Our stock of
material is not only equal to, but actually
surpasses that of some of those who in the
past dissuaded people from calling on us,
because-aS they Said-we were not prepared
to do the job for want of material. If this
was ever the case, it is SO no longer, and SO
far as our prices are concerned they are as
low as the lowest, for supervising our busi-
ness personally, why shouldn't they be so +?
SNSSSlSAhliS SsIuDllSuGu Vic CAkBON
ADVOCATE in the absence of nearly all coun-
ty patronage, we may rghtfully and without
egotism claim to have accomplished more
than those to whom public pap" is a con-
ditto sine qua non, The absence of this has
rather enabled US to more faithfully adhere
to the Independent course first marked out
to ourself, and to-day neither clique nor
party can claim that they own" our paper.
In all our course, we have never endeavored
to obtrude our own political opinions and
preferences, but have lauded where praise
was due and condemned what was censur-
able. And thus we expect to continue
Firmly established as we are, we can we'll
afford to do so,confdent that all who have Sc
nohly stood by lis in the past, will do so here
after. For our part we shall leave nothing
undone that will have a tendency to endeal
the ADVOCATE to the general reader. And
with this short preface we enter upon the
sixth year of our existence.

War Huron, which sailed from Fortress
Monroe the previous day had gone ashore
in the course of the night near No. Station,
ten miles north of Oregon Inlet, on the
North Carolina coast and was q total wreck
The sadness of the calamity was in the great
loss of life. Out of 130 officers and men on
board only "a are known to have been saved
The Huron left Norfolk on Friday while
danger signals were displayed by the Signal
Bureau. After she left there was thick
weather and a fresh gale directly on shore.
The fore and aft sails were set with a reef in
the foresail and mainsail, which were car
ried away. The steamer struck between
and 1880 o'clock, A. NJ. The boats were
washed from the, ,davits. A cutter was low
cred, but was swamped about ten minutes
later. The living saved themselves by
swimming ashore. The North Carolina
coast, upon which she was wrecked, is one
of the most dangerous of any along the At
lantic seaboard The coast line begins at
Little River Inlet, on the boarders of South
Carolina, and runs nearly.east to Cape Fear,
thence northeast to Cape Lookout, thence in
the same general direction to Cape IIatteras
and thence north to the Virginia line, a dis
tunce in all of nearly 400 miles. Along this
whole stretch of coast there are sandy, bar
ren, desert islands, from half mile to two
miles in width, separated by numerous in
lets, few of which are navigable. From
these islands shoals extend far into the sea
rendering the navigation of the coast exceed
ingly dangerous. Narrow shallow lagoons
filled with constantly changing sand-bars
extend all along the coast south of Cape
Lookout, between the mainland and the
"Sand Islands"

Senator Blaine has so far recovered that
he expects to go to Washington in the begin
ming of next week.

Heavy floods have occurred in Virginia,
Maryland and the southern portion of this
State, in consequence of the great storm of
last week. The rivers at Richmond, Char
louisville, Lynchburg and Danville rose as
high as, or higher than, in the great flood of
1870. Great damage was done by the sub
merging of the lower portions of these cities,
and railroad travel in different parts of
Maryland and Virginia was interrupted by
the destruction ofbridges and washing away
Of tracks.
