ing criticism and be pronounced good
or evil. In arepublican government,
it is the duty of every good citizen to
sit in Judgment upon the record of
public servants and hold them TO q
strict account for their stewardship.
A minority is in a much more envia-
bic position than.the majority, for re-
sponsibility fastens upon the latter
while the former escapes. If we bad
politicians who understood how to vote
No." our law making would be con-
Quoted with more wisdom and with
less expense to the people. 1t is in
the power of the republican party to
give us brilliant and successful ad-
ministratioa, but if partisan prejudice
and sectional strife are fostered, aSd
if stalwartism is nurtured and permit
ted to hold high carnival, citizenship
in the soath will be farce, term of
reproach rather than Of commenda-
ton. President Hayes wentintc the
White House with patriotic intentions
and feeling of Cancellation, and his
inaugural message bristled with prom

politicians, aud the latter portion of
his administration gave the lie to the
policy he had foreshadOwed. If Mr.
Garfield can keep himself untrammel-
led. surround himself with Cabinet
Of wise, honest and conservative men,
and not yield to the pressure OF poiiti
clans who feed Oh hate. he will en-
throne himself in the hearts Of the
people, and the south will sound his
praise from state to -1,l. Atcontin-
uation of civil service reform as so
successfully begun by the democratic
party; protection ofthe people and not
wealthy manufactures; improving
cur harbors and the navigation Of our
rivers; developing and increasing our
foreign commerce; opening up the
rich and productive lands of the west,
and placing in the penitentiary every
scouudrel caught stealing from or de-
frauding the government; these are
same af the measures which demand
the constant attention of the republi-
can party for the next four years if it
has TIE true interest of the nation at
heart. On the other hand if the DOM
inant party pursues its sectional poll
CIV and its abuse and villifcation of
the south it can only result in weak
ening the ranks of the republicans and
strengthening those of the Democrats.
Time will vindicate the position of the
southern people and place US right in
the eyes of the intelligence of the
north.

where. We desire to call spe-

worship, illegal tipping, etc.
On Friday evening the jury in
the case, State VS.. Andy Thomi-
son, for malicious shooting, re-
turned a verdict Of two years

The grand jury made the fol-
lowing report, which is compli-
mentary to our county officials:
To the Hon. j. j. WILLIAMS,
Judge, etc
The undersigned Grand Jul
rors serving at the present No
vember term, 1880 of your
Honor's Court, would respect
fully report to your Honor that
we have examined the county
Jail, and we find the same well
and neatly kept. We find that
the prisoners are properly provi-
ded for in the way of bedding
and bed-clothing. We think
they axe also being properly pro-
yided with a sufficient quantity
of wholesome food. We would
suggest that in order to insure
greater safety to the Jail, the de-
bris and combustible material
in the upper part of the building
be removed.
We have made an examina-
ton of the offices of the clerks
of the courts of record in the
county, and we find that the
clerks of all the various courts
are discharging, so fan as we are
able to see, their respective du-
ties punctually and properly.
We find that they are all keep
ing neat and convenient records,
and we think their respective
bonds are good and sufficient.
We have examined the bonds of
all the other county officials al
so, and we deem them good and
sufficient.
In the beginning of this term
of your Honor's court we expe-
rienced some difficulty in get
ting subpenas served upon wit
nesses we desired to have before
us, and on this account our la
bors have been protracted some
longer than was anticipated. The
fact that the subp9nas we de-
sired to have served were not
served earlier, may be attributed
to the fact that the sheriff has
been kept quite busy by your
Honor while engaged upon the
heavy felony docket your Honor
has had at this term. The Off
Ger appointed by your Honor to
wait upon us during thls] term
has done his duty and hasKdone
it we'll. Respectfully submitted.
Signed blythe jury.

Coal Consumption.

The consumption of coal in
Fayetteville increases year after
year, until now it has assumed
formidable dimensions. Twenty
years ago our annual receipts by
railway aggregated, perhaps, fif-
ty tons; now from October LIST
until March Both they foot up
fully twelve hundred tons, all
of which is used in Fayetteville
and vicinity. Our dealers be-
ing satisfied with moderate prof
its, consumers have paid only
from Is to 20 cents per bushel,
the latter being the outside fig
ures for small lots. Other towns
that we know, as convenient to
the mines as Fayetteville, have
paid, at retail, 20 cents. Fair
men have controlled our trade,
and having the condolences of the
public, their business increases
every season.

now enjoys a calm repose since
the political caIdron has ceased

is peculiarly American. How
nice it is when one can't do as
he pIeases, to get to. do as he
can; and what little difference
it makes, practically, after all!
Our Methodist friends are a
bout to build new church edi-
fee of far dimensions here,
which will fill a want long felt;
and when completed will be an
ornament and a blessing,we hope,
to our town. 1t is to be a frame,
and the contract for building has
been taken by the Messrs. Nor
rison.
School here, P.J. Green,teach-
err, will commence on first Mon
day, prox., to continue for five
months. Young men and youths
will find this school a good one
for the acquisition of O sound
business education, with board
and tuition very low.
The fall trade in dry goods
and groceries is quite brisk, and
if the cotton crop can all be
harvested the merchant and bus
iness, men here will reap rich
reward for their labors. The a
bundant crops and fair prices
will soon revivify the late stag

there is now every indication of
