mated a full county ticket--to wit

ford, register of deeds; William Jen-
kins, treasurer j. j. Lsnsdell, sur
yeyor; DR.. j. f. Gain, coroner.
In the above list may be found Pro-
hibitionists, Knights Of Labor, Repub-
licans, Democrats, and Independents.
II is difficult to say what effect this
ticket will have on the regular Demo.

CUT TOO EARLY.

POLITICAL.
Il is now seen clearly that the Re-
publicans really care little for county
matters in the way Of electing their
candidates to positions, but that they
are using all their strength in the di-
reciion Of the legislative ticket. The
General Assembly is undoubtedly their
point of attack. They desire to de-
feat the county government, and put
negroes in the saddle again.
FATALLY STABBED.
james Byrd, barber at Rocking
ham, Richmond county, was perhaps
fatally stabbed in the breast by Henry
Patrick. The latter tried TO secrete
himself, but his dog betrayed his
whereabouts, and he was quickly
caught and jailed. The stabbing was
the result Of the drunkenness Of Patrick
and grew out Of an old feud.
REsENTESCED AND WANTS A NEW
TRIAL.
With the history OF John Cardwell,
the notorious criminal OF Wilkes coun-
ty, every body is familiar. He is the
man who committed murder, outrage,
and incest escaped into Virginia, was
captured and brought back, was almost
to Be lynched, got Q trial, was SEN
fenced TO death, was respited, escaped
just before the day next set for execu.
ton, Was recaptured half starved aud
put back In Jail. Now hs has been re-

A petition for National aid to com
mon schools, is the latest one out fo
our Union to circulate. 1t asks fol
the enactment Of law which shall
authorize the appropriation of money
from the treasury of the United State;
for temporary aid in the h'ishment
and maintenance of free public schools
and for such other remedial legisla-
ton as is necessary, to the end that
the number of illiterates in the country
now exceeding 6,001, 900 persons ten
years of age and over shall be reduced
to minimum.

The good effects of prohibition here,
are apparent. Trade in all branches,
except the whisky traffic, is prosper
ing. There is a marked improvement
in the habits, the morals and the hap
piness of the people. The attitude of
the newspapers throughout the Union
is greatly to be deprecated. Scores
and hundreds of facts prove the eff
cacy of the law. The great daily press
abroad says nothing of the great good
that has resulted, but if Land truck
of jugs is seen, (which is no great mat
ter to 60,000.000 people) this must be
magnilied into "pig brain" and the
whole press of the United States made
to ring with it. Formerly the advo-
Gates of bar rooms were numerous and
powerful. now nobody advocates their
restoration. Formerly the temper
ance issue was high license; now, the
very most that the opponents to total
prohibition would contend for is high
license.
The bar-room has gone out from IT
Lanta and ace Uould like all tie WorLd
to kRolC it.
81 only wish that the outside world
could see the truth as we have it
demonstrated here. They would es-
cape the danger of being misled by the
many exaggerated and prejudiced
rumors that are published in other
states on the subject. II George Hill
yer, Mayor of Atlanta.
'In this city BLACK River Falls

cratic ticket in opposition to Mr.. Har
shaw, the Republican nominee fol
state Treasurer, and seeing that Mr..
IIarshaw would likely lose votes on
this account among JohnsOn's country.
men, Mr.. Haugen in an able article in
one of the Scandinavian newspapers,
warned his countrymen against bolt
ing, and appealed to their sympathy
| for the hero with the empty sleeve,
and the supplication was heard.
Though reluctantly. perhaps, the
Scandinayians of this State again
helped to roll up a splendid majority
for the Grand Old Party, aud in return
for it have been termed "voting
cattle" by the Democrats. To the
soldiers of this district | would say,
that in this case of Mr.. Harshaw you
have a pointer as to how Mr.. Haugen
feels toward the soldiers. At the
time that article was written Mr..
Haugen had no reason to believe that
his name would be mentioned in con-
nection with any public gift so soon,
or at any time in the years to come,
having las the Telegraph says) held
one or two positions, and being now
nearly at the end of five years term
as Il. L. Commissioner, which office
he has filled with SO much credit that
it has been claimed the state has not
had his equal in it, it cannot be en-.
tertained for moment that the object
of the article was to bolster up popu-
larity among the soldiers for political
gain. The article shows Mr.. Haugen
as he is, and always was, the soldiers
friend and admirer.
Though some of the standing candi-
dates for the position now to be filled
are fine speakers and level headed,
l challenge the Telegraph" to produce
one with head more level and pro-
perly balanced than is the head of Mr..
Haugen. He looms up tower of in
telligence, ability, experience and
integrity, with commanding physical
appearance as we'll, and is just the man
the soldier can depend on every time.
Try him, and we guarantee you VIII
not regret it. But some one says.
''This idea of giving preference to a
man simply because his nationality
predominates in the district is absurd,
We are all Americans here!' Bat
why should this question be raised
when the Scandinavians claim recOg
milton, and not when other natiOnai-
ties do sol 1t is fact that Germans
and the Irish too, have been very
literally dealt with in this particular,
considering their adhesiveness to the
Republican party. Then give atten-
ton to the Scandinavians also, in the
same proportion, and you will thereby
place iron bands around our glorious
old party, that will hold it together
when party lines have been obliterated
and issues of the past are sunk in
oblivion.
