The Republican press, it will
be remembered, tried to make a
great handle of the exodus of ne
groes from the South during the
last campaign, and claimed that
the Southern people were perse-
cutting the blacks. No really
intelligent man believed the false
hood, for it is u matter of fact
that the colored man South finds
the white man IA better friend to
him than the white man of the
North is to the colored man.
The real object was to reduce
the population of the South be-
fore the census was taken, and
add to the strong Republican
States of the West. One of the
ablest coIored men of the coun-
try gave his opinion of the exc
dus before a Congressional Com
mittee. He ridiculed the idea of
colored men being oppressed in
North Carolina, and said the ex-
odus was originated and encour-
aged for money and party pur-
poses. 1t is noticeable that the
leading Republican papers but
briefly mention this mans testi-
mony, because they wish to keep
on deceiving the public and do
not want their readers to see the
facts.

The report has been circulat-
ing in this county that the Hon.
John NJ. Bright would not be a
candidate for Congress at the
next election, and it was thought
that the report was from good
authority, but we have been re-
liably informed that Mr.. Bright
never authorized any such state
Iment, and that he will be a can
didate if the people desire It.
This much is certain. If the
people elect him to Congress it
will in no way interfere or pre-
vent our Legislature from elect
ing him to the United States
Senate next year, a position he
would fill with dignity and hon
or; a place he is highly qualified
TO fill, both on account of his
great ability and his long expe-
rience in the halls of Congress.

TIE LITTLE SHOES.

many working men were pres

briefly; now and then they told
little bits of their history-a-
bout the reasons that led them
TO give up the rum-shop. One
tall, well-dressed, respectable
looking man listened earnestly,
till one that sat near him said
Say word, William Turner;

never heard how it was that you
turned right about face from the
wrath Of hell 10 the field of

it will, maybe, do good" The
young man, thus urged, rose
and looked for a moment mucl
confused. All he could say
was, "the little shoes, they die
it." With a thick voice, as if
his heart was in his throat, ht
kept repeating this. There was
a stare of perplexity on every
face, and at length some
thoughtless young people began
to litter. The man, in all hi,
embarrassment, heard thissound

the development of public senti-

he realize the heinous crime of

Would he donate the cost of the
fathers death to those little chill

DROWNED

Ed. OBsERvER-We are sor-
ry to announce that on Monday
evening, February End, about
dark, or a while after, Mr.. Will
liam Burns, a well known citizen
of our county, was drowned in
West Mulberry creek at ford
known as Harrison's ford. Mr..
Burns had been to Fayetteville
on Monday, and was observed
by his friends to be under the
influence of whiskey, which, it is
supposed, resulted in the cause
of his death. He was seen pass
ing the residence Of Mr.. Jno. w
Street, about three-fourths Of a
mile from the ford; he was riding
a large gray horse and leading a
mule that his son had rode to f.
the horse and mule were found
Tuesday morning on opposite
sides Of the creek. The news
spread rapidly. In very short
time about seventy-fiye mel
were collected at the creek, who
spent the day in search for The
body, but the creek being very
full prevented their making any
discoveries, save his hat, which
was found about three-fourths of
a mile below the ford at a drift
1t was thought that his son was
drowned too, but we learned since
that his father had left him in f.
which we sincerely hope is true
Will give full particulars whel
all the particulars are learned
Mr.. Burns left a wife and chill
/ dren.

81 T DO not know" was the answer.
"Whet did he want ?" Evans
continued.
Evans was rarely so curious about
strangers but something seemed to
prompt him to ask questions about Vic
tor.
He was merely making some in
quiries about the Cashel suit,' said
Douglass.
What did he say about that ?'
The clerk hesitated, for he did not
like Evans, and had no desire to utter
sentence that would benefit him any
but he concluded that nothing could be
made out of the words of the stranger
that would advantage Evans.
He appeared to rejoice at the way
the suit was decided Douglas said.
"It appears to me, that, whoever he
may be,'' cried Evans angrily, she is
meddling with other peoples affairs"
Then the lawyer added meaningly,-
He may have cause for sorrow
yet, Douglass. The end of this matter
is not reached, you know. 1t will be
very singular if an estate like Cashel's
can be wrested from its rghtful owner
with impunity."
1t was seldom that Evans talked so
much to Douglass, for he was conscious
in his evil heart that the clerk did not
like him but the strangers interest in
the Cashel suit had angered him, and
for the moment he had half forgotten
all this.
He attended to the business that had
brought him to the office the looking
over of some musty documents,-and
left the court house.
Victor returned to his hotel.
My curiosity is satisfied" he said to
himself, as he walked along. sit is
best, suppose, that the case went as it
did. This is but the beginning. There
are clouds gathering over that Williams
head of which he does not dream; and
in good time they will overwhelm him
too. AT present, am satisfied to watch

myself that she is Cashel. L believe
can tell the true metal"
At what time is the next train for
Baltimore due 2" Victor asked the clerk,
when he reached the hotel again.
mot till half-past seven O'clock"
was the reply.
1t was some time to wait; but the
hours passed, and Victor found himself
moving toward Baltimore once more.
On the morning of the next day Vic
tor entered Mr.. Wylie's Office. He pro-
posed to pursue his inquiries about the
new claimant to the Cashel estate little
farther. Doubtless Mr.. Wylie or Mr..
Oldham would inform him where Miss
Cashel could be found, and he would
make it convenient to call upon her.
Some day his interest would be ex-
planned.
Mr. Wylie was in, but Victor found it
somewhat difficult to state what he
wished. Talking to Mr.. Wylie was not
like questioning an officer of the court,
who would be expected to answer all
business inquiries freely.
"My name is Victor,n he managed to
say at length; and, understanding that
you are the attorney for the plaintiff in
the suit of Cashel versus Cashel, have
come you to inquire ifyou will be kind
enough to inform me where 1 can find
her."
Mr.. Wylie glanced at the speakers
face. There was nothing there to give
him fright for his client; on the CONTRA
ry, the face before him wore an express
sion frank and pleasant, and was evil

Tuesday Of Mr.. Jacob V. Poisal. 1t
was not, however, unexpected. He
had been suffering with consumption
for some time past, and of late had
given up all hopes of recovery. He
was a member, of the masonic frater-

him. He was one of the Hedges

tact as a gatherer of news. He was
buried on Wednesday with Masonic
honors. Peace to his ashes.

SINCE the notice that we gave
suggesting the propriety of having
the water introduced into Greenhill
Cemetery, large and substantial
iron arbor, to be covered with vines,
has been erected on the summit.
The town authorities have decided
to extend the water mains from
High street to the cemetery gate.
The cemetery company will then
convey it through the grounds for
the purpose of watering grass and
shrubbery. The lot holders and the
public contributed literally, and the
ladies are now agitating the question
of having a fountain erected on the
grounds, which will add largely to
its attractions. The mnrmur of the
Tuscarora, the signing of the winds
through the trees, its flowers, shrub
berry and grass, and the spray of the
fountain, are all tributes to the
memory of the silent, cherished
sleepers. @ p
