why Brewer Voted for tn. Mill. Bln.

We are told that Brer Brewer has written
a letter to a friend in this city giving his
reasons for voting for the Mills Bill. As
we are told, the letter in substance, is to
the effect that he (Brower) promised the
people of the district to favor and vote for
any and all measures looking To a repeal
of the internal revenue, whether they came
from Democrat or Republican and as
the former introduced the first bill he con-
sidered it his duty to comply with past
promises.
Some of the Republicans here seem to
think that Brer Brewers excuse is a lame
one and that serious doubts are entertained
by them as to whether their once beloved(?)
Congressman will ever get even birds eye
view of the White House after his term ex-
pires in the 5lst Congress.
In conversation with one of Brower's fol-
lowers day or two ago he said 81 want
Brewer to run and 1 believe he's got the
backbone to do it. If no one else votes for
him in Winston he can get mine" The
same gentleman spoke as if it would not re-
quire much more "rumpus" in the
g. o. p. to cause him to vote for Fisk,
the Prohibition candidate for President.
By Brewers action all is not "peas and
hominy" in Republican ranks in the Fifth
District. "All is well that ends WE'LL" but
Mr.. Brewer failed to end we'll.

This subject is being discussed by several
of our State journals and it is one that is
applicable to every town where boys are
| being reared. The Morganton Star,
speaking on the subject says:
Suppose that all the labor that has been
spent in our town in playing marbles this
summer had been spent in raising corn
there would be several hundred bushels
more corn in the county this fall than
| there will be. Tbare are about two dozen
boys, white and colored, of regular corn
hoeing size, who have put in almost regular
time, this summer, in playing marbles"
To this the Archdale Leader very peril
nently adds:
ssThere are one hundred towns in the
State of North Carolina perhaps some
more-which will average as many idle
boys as Morganton. We have visited most
of these towns, and know whereof we spt ak
Say there are just 100 towns wish "a idle
boys, each of of whom ought to earn % cents
every working day this summer. There are
81 days in June, July and August. Take
cut Is Sabbaths and IL others for holidays,
and IS days are left for these 2,400 boys to
labor. Now multiply 2, 400 by &C and 1885,
400 days is the result Divide this last sum
by four-four quarters to one dollar and
we have the large sum of $39, 600 lost to the
State through the idleness these boys in
three months, who would be infinitely better
off, in moral point of view, to work for
| nothing, for "an idle boys brain is the dew
ips workshop" Idleness begets lazness
and laziness begets utter worthlessness. Pa
rents, everywhere, stop and think And
then, let us reflect the States loss from the
idleness of the boys outside of these towns,
not neglecting to remember that there is
unjustifable loss in the idleness of grown-up
men all over our State"

do well to study carefully this subject. See

A Negro Brute Narrowly Escapes Being
Lynched.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, July 12.-Biu Ander-
son, negro % years of age, was brought
here from Macon county, and lodged in the
county jail for safe keeping. On last Friday
J. M. Knowles, one of the most respectable
citizens of Macon county, was awakened by
screams coming fran a room occupied by
his two daughters, one grown and one II
years of age. He quickly started toward
the room, and negro dashed past him and
disappeared. The elder daughter of Knowles,
on going to the room to retire, had discov-
cred the negro, Bill Anderson, lying on the
bed with her younger sister, where he had
been for some time. Her screams fright
ened him and he ran. He WAS finally caught
and carried to Tuskegee, the county seat,
on Monday and lodged in Jail.
Threats of lynching we're loud, but 1t was
thought nothing serious was going to result
from it. To-day, however, a mob began to
form, with the avowed purpose of lynchln8
the prisoner. So evident was it that the
local military would be insufficient to pro-
tect him that Sheriff Pinkard hurried him
off to the train and brought him here to-
plight, where he is now confined. Although
fully identified by both Of the daughters OF
Knowles, the negro stoutly declares his IN
nocence and claims he was not in the vicini-
ty at the time. The chain of circumstantlal
evidence wound around him is 80 strong
as to preclude the possibility of an acquittal

Tho Devastated Districts.

WHEELING, W. Va, July ia special to
the intelligencer says the relief committee
appointed at q citizens meeting Wednesday
afternoon, to hear the report of the sub
committees that visited the devastated dis
tricts, report terrible suffering which far
exceeds all anticipations. People in the
low lands are without food, clothes or
homes. The committee are doing all in
.their,po to alleviate the suffering. They
think that they win not have to appeal for
outside assistance and will endeavor to COD
fine their appeals to the citizens of the tow,
for at least one more day. 1t is almost i'm
possible to- approximate the loss and the
suffering and one can't realize the suffering
until it has been revealed by personal con-
tact. Fnlly 125 families aggregating over
500 people, are suffering and in need OF the
necessaries of life. Yesterday the first mail
was received since Monday, the Baltimore 4
Ohio being now open both on the main and
Parkersburg branches. Business has been
entirely suspended at Clarksburg for three
days and it will be several weeks before
matters will be adjusted.
