FED. 2-The senate passed the day in the
study Of the cotton schedule. 1t was field
day FOR talk. The democrats discovered
that duties had been reduced on articles not
much imported and raised on the class of
goods which are largely, imported. MIR. Har-
ris, of Tennessee, moved to strike out all the
classifications OF yarns and impose an al

Noticing in the ADVOCATE the loss OF from
1000 to 10000 bushels of tomatoes by rotting
by Mr.. Lewis Shipley, our Gamer, we have
talked to him on the subject He says his
loss is about what was stated in the paper;
also that, while other persons in the neigh
borhood lost tomatoes from the same cause,
his were affected much more than any in the
neighborhood. He does not know the cause
of the rotting, and is anxious to ascertain, and
would like to hear from others on the sub
iect being willing to answer any letters adj
dressed to him. His idea now, as to the
cause, is too heavy fertilizing. Phosphate
was put in the beds rather heavily, and about
400 pounds were supplied to the acre lin the
hill when planted out. Mr.. Shipley, by the
loss of his crop, lost his whole years work
nearly, and our most important industry had
to be closed, depriving many of considerable
wages they could have otherwise earned
Gambler is improving very much. Late as
it is, new houses are being built. All branches
of business are being pushed, but our greatest
need is a school house. There are enough
children of school age here for two schools,
and vet the nearest school house is about two
miles away. We hope to have this remedied
in the near future
Some time ago we needed hotel here, but
now we have two well-kept and prosperous
ones We now need a good shoemaker
good workman and one who can keep a stock
of leather on hand, so we can get seasoned
boots and shoes.
Party lines are pretty well defined. The
Democrats are sanguine of success and the
Republicans concede it. Mr.. Eli I. Bennett,
for county commissioner, on account of his
personal popularity, will run little ahead of
his ticket.

more convenient; Isaiah Stair and Noah
Powell, carpenters David d. Myers will
build a new barn this fall; John c. Bankard,
carpenter Mr.. Melanchton Myers, merchant,
put up a street lamp recently, in front of his
store, and the effect of it is so pleasing and
useful after dark to the public, that the citi-
zens contemplate putting up lamps through
out the town. This is just what we need; let
some one make move and we will soon have
them.

farmers and others, and also mending old
harness, Just returned to this place after an
absence of about three years, and found en-
ployment immediately. His ingenuity as a
saddler s unsurpassed both for durability and
fancy work; but am sure that there are none
more glad that he has come than the shoe
makers, as they dread the repairing of old
harness. He should open shop in this
neighborhood.

A report reached this city on Tuesday last
that R. NJ. Beck, superintendent of the Tay,
lor Works at Chambersburg, Pa, had died
from the injuries received by the explosion of
the gasometer in the works last week. The
Val1ey Spirit, of that town, of Wednesday
evening, says:
Exaggerated reports were circulated on
Monday concerning the condition of Supt;;
Beck, of the Taylor Works, who was injured
by the explosion of gasoline on Monday of
last week. About five O clock on that even
ing he was reported to be dying, and at a
later hour the story of his death was told. 1t
is true his condition has been more serious
than was at first regarded, but no danger of a
fatal result is nov apprehended, though such
was at first feared. His injuries brought a
return of neuralgia of the heart, an affection
from which he had previously suffered, and
it is this that has excited the alarm of his
friends. Inquiry by telephone this morning
ascertained that he had not rested so easily
during last night as on yesterday

porous condition; the membership has in
creased over twenty five per cent. in the last
few months, and the new members are of the
best young men in town and vicinity. Procuring
uniforms and organizing drill association is
warmly advocated.
The pavement around the public school
house is completed at last. At a meeting of
the School Board in September, 1881, the
trustees of the grammar school were author
lied to pave as required by an ordinance of
the corporation, but the demand for paving
material and PAYERS has been so great that it
could not be done sooner. The school build
ing is now complete in all its appointments,
except window shutters, and for the protec-
ton of the windows they are needed.
The Odd Fellows have taken the fence

Joining the store of Jos. D. Barnes, which was

fare of the party than the Democratic ladies
Of Freedom. Taylorsville's celebrated brass
band furnished the music At II clock the
meeting was called to order by Charles c. f.
Schroeder, who named Thomas j. Belts, ESQ.,,
chairman. After thanking them for the
honor, Mr. Belts introduced Mr.. w. Camp
bell Hamilton, of Baltimore, who was well
received. Mr. Hamilton said the Democratic
party was party of reform, and had con-
tracted no debts since 1879, but on the con-
trary had saved the state $S00,000 He also
paid his respects to Mr. Holton. Mr.. Oliver
Wood, of Baltimore, was the next speaker.
He made an excellent speech and was warmly
applauded. He was followed by Mr.. Joseph
Thompson, who, in his usual humorous style,
held the attention of the people and won their
applause. At the conclusion of Mr.. Thomp-
sons speech dinner was announced, when an
excellent dinner was served to all present, the
prominent feature of which was Freedom fat
peer. AIJer Lue ullliltE IlOAs DcHtOh 4hO41lI-

never before have the people of our district
listened to a better speech. He spoke one
hour, and held the attention of the people
throughout. By his logical argument and
statement of facts, our people will not soon
forget the words of this learned Tennesseean.
Next followed Hon. ]. Fred. c. Talbot, the
popular Congressman of this district, who
made one of his best speeches, and proved
that Hart B. Holton, instead of being the
friend of the workmen, had always been work
ing against them. Our States Attorney, d.
n. Henning, Esq, closed the speaking. His
presence here was a pleasure to his many
friends, and we hope to see him, with all the

candidates on our ticket were present, besides
Hon. Henry Vanderford and many others of
Westminster. Many prominent Republican
friends were present, who, if they did not en-
joy the speaking, certainly did enjoy the

had hoped that further reference concern
ing the status of certain prominent Democrats
in Westminster District in reference to certain
Democratic candidates Tthis is very poor
English am using, Messrs. Editors would
be rendered unnecessary. learn, however,
that it has grown into common rumor that
Col. James Fitznoodle proposes to vote for
John Skunk for sheriff. Further that he
the Colonel-has exercised his influence IN
behalf of Mr.. Shunk's candidacy. Now IN
the first place that there should be any state
ment in this connection to those who know
Col. Fitznoodle seems ridiculous. tie has
always been one of the most pronounced
Democrats in the county, and has made sac
rifiees time and again i'll behalf Of the ticket
and the principles Of his party. He has also
been the recipient at its hands OF positions
which we know he has gratefully appreciated
1t seems strange consequently that the report
should be believed at all.
In the second place there never was, nor is
there now any cause for the report 1t has
evidently been manufactured by some of the
overzealous indiscreet friends of Mr.. Skunk
who in this way imagine that they can weaken
the increasing popularity of Mr.. Shower.
Finally, Col Fitznoodle not only proposes
to vote for Mr. Shower, but he has assured
me that so far as it is possible his influence
has been and will continue to be exerted for
the purpose of securing his election, and this
if the information is necessary-is true OF
the party generally in and out of Westminster
district
hope that this statement will settle once
and for all the new mode of Republican
tactics. 5.
