New lo-k Herald.
The present position of the Demo.
cratic party reminds us of South
Carolina incident in the old slavery
days. A number of negroes, made
repentant during religious revival,
came down to the banks of the Pedee
to be baptized by immersion. One
after the other was dipped under the
waves, until at last one of the men,
in the excitement of the moment, was
held under water good deal longer
than he expected He struggled up
into the air, blew the water out of his
mouth and nose, and exclaimed,
"Look heyah, eff We don't pay more

money in the stove, lighted them as torch
and held them up blazing until all the men,

with satisfaction that Grant County is richer
by the exact amount burned.
