Culloch TO be Secretary Of the Treasury.
A new complication has broken
loose in Ohio and may give the State 10
Cleveland. The Supreme Court has
declared the Scott Liquor Law %unconsti-
tutional; and as the own OF the State
had nearly all relied on the law TO sup
ply funds by the sale Of licenses"
they are now left without cash TO run
their machinery; besides having to
refund the taxes paid last year under
the law.
The Committee to award a grand

Harris, Miss Gertrude Siewers and Mrs.

er medal be given Mrs. j. j. Jackson, of

-Four young ladies, with a gallant
young ~Ivauhoe," essayed a pi.ht ride
to the Exposition, and in huttering then
skirts over the buggy wheel, lost a valu
able gold breach. Half a dozen men
searched for it next morning in vain
Then the fair owner went herself, and
without a moments hesitation p cked ii
out Of the yellow dust. The youths ali
swear her eyes are brighter than the
electric light; but the girls say it was a
piece OF f"esse to get past the g~ate-keepor
a second time; for bits of paste board are
now in much demand. We vote with

On Friday, the music OF the band
drew a large crowd to the front of For
syth County Exhibit, whereupon Pres

ton on back, with a suitable inscription.
Ex-Judge Thos. Wilson then made the
Presentation address; aud Secretary
Fries made appropriate response. Then
Col. J.. l.. Polk made one of his ringing
speeches, which nncOrked the entl.usi-
ASH Of the large audience.
Blaine says in his public speeches
that it is ''galling to Northern pride
that the negro is 0 represented" III
politics, What a lie. There is scare ely
a State but has its negro D.stricts''
and congressional officer if they wish.
And if the negro is wronged and robbed
here why don't he go to Blaine's coun-
try? And how does Northern PRIDE
stand sponsor for the negroes? 1t is
true that the North sold her negroes
the South, and after pocketing the pay.
turned around and stole them away from
us; but we did not suppose that North
ern PRIDE had any blood relationship
to the African.
We notice i2 a mountain exchange
a screed against titles 1t is wonderful
how far jealousy and spleen will carry a
man. Why should any one object to a
title or complimentary expressions paid
to another person? You can bet your life
the fellow who SO objects never had either
title, or public compliment paid to him
self. If such an accident should happtn
he would gulp it down as a toad takes a
fly, and Ger his face a %treacle aspect
would be visible for a week aftervarJ.
We hold that any man who has won a
title by patriotic service, IN peril and
hardship. or in useful craftsmanship, is
entitled to wear it; even if deserters and
sneaks dislike it. Further, we hold that
any clergyman, teacher, or other member
of a Iroiession which has a special title.
ought to be given that title, not a. 3
piece Of fiattery, but as a distinguishing
mark to his name. There are half q
dozcnJohn Smith il Raleigh, and when
we say Prof John Smith We mean the
gentleman who has taken up teaching
for a life profession.
But watch the objector! lie is never
troubled with a title. That is what is tie
