A CARD.

To the Voters of Orange and DR.
hum Countess
Having been solicited by many of
my fellow-ci,izcns to become q CAP
didate for the Legislature. / hereby
announce myself q candidate tor the
House of Representatives. My rea-
sons for becoming a candidate are
briefly these: l. The Democratic
Convention Of Orange nominated a
prohibitionist for. the Legislature.
9. The men in my line OF business
pay more taxes>in proportion to cap
ital invested and number engaged,
than any other class OF business
men, and had 40 cae ia the last
Legislature TO represent them when
their business was assailed. 8. The
section of the County from which I
hail has never been represented in
the Legislature.
AS regards my politics, l shall fa-
vor a repeal of the Internal Revenue
system. Having received my limi-
ted education at a free school, l
shall favor a good system of free
schools, and also favor the election
Of School Committeeman by the
people. I shall likewise oppose the
present County Government system,
and the appointment of MAGISTRATES
by the Legislature, and the election
of Commissioners by the Magis-
trates, and shall favor, the election Of
all these officers by the people.
AS regards the special tax bonds
they cannot be paid until the people
have voted at the polls that they
will pay them, and as l am satisfied
the people would never vote to pay
them, | shall oppose any bill sub
hitting the question to them.
am opposed to Township stock
avs. When the people demand
that the fences be done away with,
let it be done by Counties or by the
whole State.
IT, conclusion, l can only cay that
if elected my vote shall always be
cast on every question to advance
The best interest Of the people o.
Orange and Durham counties.
Very respectfully,
J. A. CHEEK.
Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1882-10-21

LIEUT. @. B. SArrERLzE, who was specially de-
tailed to gothrough the overhowed districts In
the vicinity Of Arkansas City, has examined the
Arkansas and White rivers and points south OF
the Arkansas. He reports that nineteen
twentieths OF the country il under water, and
considerable portion OF the colored population
ia in destitute circumstances. Lieut.. Suterlee
estimates that fully 8, 500 people have no means
OF subsistence. The State authorities are do
ing nothing to alleviate the suffering, trusting
to the suficiency OF the Government bounty.
There Will be little or no stock left
in the flooded district. A gentleman VINO
made the trip from Vlcksburg TO Yazoo CITY
reports the condition OF the inland districts
as bad or worse than reported. Sunhower, La
fore, Bolivar, Coahoma, Tallahatchie and
unlCd COuuJleb Wutci. Aoon~
quena, Yazoo, Holmes and Washington coun-
ties are about one-half and Warren county
about one quarter 80. The total reputation OF
these by the last census, was 162, 442, and or
these at least 100, 900 are colored laborers made
absolutely destitute by the flood, and who

iii the river falls and work is resumed.
The region south of Memphis Is swarming with
buffalo-gnats which are killing what little stock
was saved from drowning One result OF the
overflow has been TO prove to tho satisfaction or
the natives that the levee system is failure.
Millions Of money may be spent in repairing
the damage already done, but, in the opinion
Of the knowing ones, it will be thrown away.
Reports received at the War Department in
Washington estimate that there are 81, 0e0 des-
ttute sufferers III the flooded regions between
Cairo, ILL.,, and the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is be-
lieved that an appropriation OF $1,000, 900 by
Congress viii be required before these people
can sgain become self-aupporting.
