Views of the State Press.

We have no idea that the candidate
for Governor has been named. The
Democrats will be beaten unless they
run a man Of unexceptionable war and
pesce record. He must be North
Carolinian every inch of him. He must
be above all suspicion in the matter of
railroads. Let any man be nomina. ed
who is supposed to be the candidate Of
a railroad corporation and if he is not
beate 20, 600 votes it will be because he
is also supported by the Republicans.
An unpopular emocratic candidate,
who is either immoral, corrupt or iden-
titled with railroads will be beaten and
ought to be beaten North Carolina
has nad too much of that sort of thing
already The people know more about
matters than politicians suppose. IT
the Democrats have not sense and purity
enough to select some man for Governor
Of the highest character and with a
blameless record who is true to the
State and true to the people, and who
nor ever has been identified with rings
railroad or other-then the State will
be lost. There are tens Of thousands
of Democrats who will not vote again
for men they do not want-men folsted
upon them by tricks and plots. Ma
chine politics have had their day in
North Carolina. Put that in your
pipe. Will. Star.

Mad 0ogs--A Roai DanGes--Stsos
Ciear Of Stray Ours.

Iwo weeks ago We printed chipping
detailing The slaughter of a score o
more of CANNES. In the Piedmont sec
ton, under the spur of numerous case
of hydrophobia, But as all of the rabic
brutes no doubt bit other animals it vii
take long time TO eradicate the curs(e
from the country.
The Charlotte OJserrr tells of tn,
killing of mad dog in the streets o
that city at 4 D. m.. the hour wher
ladies and children are out promenad,
ing. But here is a worse case reported
by Laurinburg Enterprise:
''On the 10th of February a mad dog
invaded the premises OF i.even Gibson,
an honest, industrious negro. abou,
three miles South of this place. and at
tackled his little boy, ab ut ten years
old. The mother defended 'ersclt with
stick, and prevented the infurinted
canine from biting eithc.- Of them.
Leven hearing the screams, ran out,
and, seeing the dog attempting to spring
upon them, rushed at him with knife
and succeeded in killing him; but in
the fight the dog bit him on the wrist
The injury soon cured. But on the
night of the 2lst inst. the unfortunate
man was seized with a convulsion, and
the spells becoming more frequent early
the next morning DR.. Hamer was sent
for, and discovered the symptoms of
hydrophObia. The sight of or even
the mention of any fluid conyu,ses the
frame Of the subject and the greatest
difficulty in breathing invariably en-
sues. He refuses to take food of any
kind and will not sleep. When medi
cine is handed him ne seizes the vessel
containing it in a manner Indicative of
great fear and swallows the potion hur-
riedly as though TO look Oh 1t for a mo
ment was horrifying and painful III the
extreme. At intervals, however, he is
rational, and there is nothing peculiar
IN his manner to suggest madness or in
sanity, and he converses intelligently
with any one.
According to the experience Of the
medical fraternity, death invariably re-
suits from this disease, and the patient
usually dies within six days from the
discovery Of the first symptom. We
sympathize with Leven devoted wife,
who sits by his bedside every moment
day and night and constantly prays for
his recovery.
Since the above was put in type, We
have been informed that the unfortu-
nate man died Friday afternoon, about
As hours after the first convulsion, and
that before his death he raved, foamed
at the mouth, attempted to bite those
about him, and that be had to be held
down by violence to prevent his doing
damage.
