POLITICAL GOSSIP.

A correspondent of the Warrenton

of Edsecombe, is proper man for state
Auditor.

not at all an original inspiration as it is

nomination. if he so desired, and would
prove candidate of strength second only,
if second at all, to Jarvis himself - Web

In spirit of justice to our present
Lieutenant Governor, Maj. Charles NJ.
Stedman, we must say that he proved
himself a most formidable canvasser in
the campaign of 1884. His tour through
this section impressed upon all who heard
him an appreciation of his ability and
magnetism that has not been forgotten.
If the Convention commits to his hands

gifted lawyer; an eloquent, fervent speak

asking for the releal of the Internal I,.ye

standing menace to freedom of elections
| ana a source OF great annoyance and cor
rup'lon IN its practical operations: now
therefore,
RESOLVED, That this Democratic State
Executive Committee in session AT Raleigh
February 23d, reaffirms the declaration of
the Democratic party of North Carolina.
ana also reafiirms its declaration made on
the l9th OF October in favor of aboishlng
the whole Internal Revenue system.
RESOLVED, That copy OF these resOlu-
lutlons be sent to each member of Congress
from North Carolina
On motion of Mr. j. 7. Caldwell the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted
RESOLVED, That the State Democratic
Executive Committee of North Carolina
hereby cordially endorses the adminisfra-
ton of President Cleveland on account Of
Its broad patriotism, its eminent ability.
its unbending honesty and It's rigid adher-
ence to the principles of the National
Democratic party.
The impOrtant-and the CHRoNIcrr T. he
lleves, the wisest-action of the Commit
tee was the amendment to the rules, by
which proxy representation was provided
for.
There was loud, and, We think, lust
complaint last year because a number of
extreme Western and Eastern counties
We're denied representation by proxy. The
committee has now made so broad a rule
tnat every county can BE represented,
either IN person or by proxy. The follow
ing Is the amendment TO the rules:
The regular delegates, present at any
State Convention, shall have the right to
east the whole vote OF the county, which
they represent, or III case OF disagreement
among themselves each deleg ite shall cast
part OF the vote of the county IN propOr-

The FACT that Hon. John S. Henderson

CHRONICLE happens to know that such
supposition does not do Mr.. Henderson
justice He is for the Blair bill, and his
proposition was introduced, not to be an
tagonistic to that bill, but to give the
Committee on Education in the House a
chance to report something to the House
on the subject. The committee is opposed
TO the Blair bill, but the Chairman and
some other members of the committee
favor Mr. Henderson's bill because it
leaves the whole fund distributed among
the States, free from vexatious, restric
tiOns and conditions.

Shooting fair at Round Knob.
TFrom Asheville Citizen. ]

On Thursday evening as the east bound
train rolled up to Round Knob Hotel, D.
S. Carraway, editor of the jefferson Coun-
ty Visitor Of Messy Creek, stepped out of
the car, and no sooner had he landed up
on the platform of the hotel than he drew
pistol and fred at J. II Mister, the bar
keeper at the hotel, who was standing near
the door of his saloon. As soon as he saw
Carraway coming from the car. Mister
started to run and Carraway fired at him
while he was running.
After the first shot Carraway ran down
the steps and fired second time at Mil
ster through the bar window, and kept up
his pursuit after the object OF his enmlty
until he was stopped by Mr.. Sprague and
Mrs. Sprague, the latter Carraway's sis
ter. Mister was not hit. The cause OF
the shooting was alleged criminal intima-
CIV between Mister and Carraway's wife.
Carraway claims to have positive proof OF
the intimacy. Mister took the WOODS,
aad Carraways people persuaded him to
leave on the return train for Tennessee.
The affair naturally created good deal
of excitement.

THE STATE CHRONICLE is one of our ablest
journals and should be appreciated by
every Democrat in the State. In a late
issue it shows up the corruption and ex-
OF the Republican party in ad-
mirabe style; and it also shows the hon
esty, integrity and economy of the Demo
cratic party 1t is an excellent campaign

utterly failed to carry their point, and the
best policy now is to assure them that
party unity is the one thing desired. And
this ought to be done in a spirit of concil
iation and compromise. Randall and
Barnum and German and others | might
mention are men of ability. They are
Democrats. They vote the Democratic
ticket and Influence hundreds of others to
do the same thing. Randall would have
outgeneraled Mazarin if they had lived in
the same century. He is shrewd enough
and Jesuit enough to be General in Chief
of the order of Logola. Such men are
valuable. German, with his Lieutenant,
Higgins, and others of the same stripe, is
invaluable. The Republican party has

in his own peculiar line, that if had it.
| would bet IS, 600 on him, aided by his
chosen Lieutenants, against the solid
phalanx of experienced and hoary- headed
wire -pullers of the G. O. ?, Barnum Is
a protectionist, but he has magnificent
executive ability. AS an organizer, he is
without peer in this country. He is
generous and wealthy and he can pen
the purses of many of the rich men in This
country. Money is necessity in e!ec-

know what he is talking about. 1t would
be unfortunate if Mr.. Barnum should be
succeeded by Mr.. Scott or Mr.. Anybody
else as Chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee. There are many others
who think as the three gentlemen specified
above. Some are afraid to let their - nt
ments and methods be so well known and
some are not of sufficient Importance to
specify, if they are less timid. But all
can vote, and all must be kept III liue and
made to vote solidly for Cleveland. This

who has just completed his S6th year, who
has been a merchant here for 66 wears,
and is at the head of the largest shoe store
in the State, if not in the South, that when
he came to Wilmington, in 1929, it had
about ., 900 inhabitants. 1t grew slowly
till the Wilnirgton & Weldon X K was

zens tell me that the public spirit Of the

the road more than all the property. real
and personal in its limits was worth and
thai not a few bankrupted themselves, so
great was their iberality towards this en-

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

J.H. Rttenhouse, c. E., Mining Engineer, of
Scranton, Pa, has known the twelve mines of the
Tortillta Gold and Silver Mining Co., since 1880,
having spent good portion of that and the fol-
lowing year at these mines. In letter to the
President OF the company, Mr.. Rittenhouse says:
II have boon in good many mining camps in
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, and never
saw any better indications on the surface or ore
in such quantity and of such high grade anywhere
as in the Tortilita Camp. To particularize The
desert mine ia q large vein averaging about to
10 feet thick, in one place about 30 feet. Orc
taken from 1t in development assayed from 80
think the ore is there in quantity, and that 10 or
20 stamp mill could be kept busy from it alone.
The formation is about the same as the Benton.
The other mines near the Desert were de-
veloped to more or less extent by several shafts
sunk upon the incline, showing well-defned walls
and ore about same grade as tho Desert. The
Eagle is thoroughly defined and with bold (for
that country groupings. Ore carries more gold
than silver, about $500 of the former and $l3 90
of the latter, think. AS for the Jesse Benton
aud Tom Benton, | think the Jesse Benton is
the bonanza of the camp. The average of the
bulk of the taken from IL is 20 to 10 ounces of
silver little gold occasionally. AS this ore
was the best, more attention was pail to it and
more work done upon 1t. 1t was thoroughly
proved for length of about LOO feet twelve
the same in all parts. / believe the Benton will
prove itself to be one of the richest mines in
Arizona. All indications point that way"
A limited number of the preferred dividend
shares of the stock of the company owning these
mines are offered for sale at Sc per share. Ad-
