bad Thanksgiving day. Not but what
one ought to be just as glad and thank
full, whether it rains or shines; but it is
provoking, when one has invited COM

Lenuel won't driue over from Bayport

Toward night, howe yer, the sun
burst triumphantly through the clouds,
lightning up the sombre aisles of the
leafless woods with red CLEANS, and
touching with lines of lurid gold the
edges of the waves that broke sullenly
on Woodford Point.
'Tt'll be fine, after ALL" said Mrs.
Elston.
And she burst into little rOulades of
song, as she picked over the red Bald
win apples, set away the yellow, earthen
bowl of stewed cranberries, counted the
pies, and looked to see if the turkey
was all plucked and dressed, ready for
the mOrrow's oven.
For izzie Elston kept neither cook
nor waitress, but depended on herself
only for all these household details, and
no one understood better the necessity
for a careful economy of time.
She had invited ncle Lemuel and
Aunt Rhoda, from Bayport, Miss Starkey,
her whilom schoolmate, now the teacher
of the nearest district school, and MIR.
and Mis-. Howard, who lived in the cot
tage beyond the sand dunes on the
beach
It was the first Thanksgiving that
Lizzie had ever kept, and she was de-
termined on having it a success.
"But all the preparations were com
plete at last. even down to the counting
of the ancient, fiddle shaped spoons,
that were an heirloom from Lizkie's
grandmother, and the old cups and
plates, some blue-edged, and some COW
cred with impossible landscapes, in the
dullest shade of pink-and the young
wife, looking down the road, saw Frank
Elston coming up from the wharf. a
dark silhouette against the red glow OF
the sky.

herself.
For Lizzie had not been married long
enough to forget all these graceful mem
cries of the honeymoon time.
Frank Elston, the captain of the little
boat that piled between Bayport Land
inc and the nearest large town, met her
with smile and a kiss.
ssWhat have you got in the asket,
Frank" cried Lizzie, standing on tiptoe
to peep under the lid of the willow re-
ceptacle that he carried.
"Oranges, pussr said he, with nod
of triumph. And some Concord grapes
that were left of our last consignment,
and Bettley let me have 'em cheap"
''Oh. Frank, how nice!" exclaimed the
housewife, clapping her hands. 1T will

THEY ARE MAD.

Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" The democratic
press of the State is mad In their
wild rage they charge that Rev Mr..
Walker the prohibition candidate is
"the hired tool of party managers to
do their dirty work" that he is ito
receive 81 900 for making the can
yass in North Carolina. We be-
lieve Mr.. Walker is poor man and
don't doubt that his party pays
his campaign expenses, which all
parties admit to be right. He is
making the canvass for his party.
What democrat will dare say Col.
Waddell is not paid to make the
canvass in North Carolina for Cleve-
landg He makes the canvass for
his party and they say it is honorable.
Mr.. Walker scores the democratic
party severely and he is not sparing on
the republican party. He is after
making votes from both for his own,
and he is succeeding. The demo-
cratic press in its frenzy is driving
good men from its own party to
Walker. Republicans and democrats
will vote for Walker because his cause
is a Just one. 1t is pure christian
ticket and party made up of honor
able men. Let us not abuse it for
doing things we do ourselves, but
let us once vote our sentiments free
from passion and prejudice. We shall
vote for Dockery and advise our
friends to do so, yet we have no abuse
for Walker and his party for they are
honorable men.
The democratic press and politicians
see defeat staring them in the face and
it makes them mad, They see the
handwriting on the wall. They have
been weighed and are found wanting.
Political death awaits them in No
vember.

Col. Dockery and Mr.. Devereux
spoke at Pittsboro on Wednesday Of
last week, and at Moncure on We'd
nesday night We met them at Cam
eron on Thursday and heard two as
able speeches as one could desire.
Mr.. Devereux led off and was Justify
cheered all the way through. Colonel
Dockery followed and for about an
hour he entertained the people with his
eloquence, logic and sound doctrine.
Though the notice was short there
were over three hundred people
out, mostly whites, and when they
left. they were nearly all DOckery
men.
His arguments were so strong and
the facts SO plain they could not be
disputed Doekery is the labOring
mans choice. They don't want a
lawyer for Governor. They want a
government that will abolish the in.

night these gentlemen spoke at San

boro, where large crowd met them
and returned home we'll pleased with
what they had heard. There were
about five hundred out here and about
equally divided between whites and
colored. Mr.. o. J. Spears, the rising
republican of the State, introduced
the speakers.
On Saturday they were at Fayctte-

dred of the honest voters. represent
ing all classes. There were two or
three hundred whites out, and they
gave special attention to Col. Dockcry.
Saturday night Col. Dockery spoke
at Hope Mill, Cumberland county.
As an eyewitness We do testify that
Col. Dockery is making very fine i'm
preston on the voters, which indi-
Gates that he will be elected, and so
declared by the State canvassers.
Col. Dockery is filling two appoint
ments a day, and will start on the
joint canvass with Judge Fowle at
Monroe on the 9th.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The National campaign is about
opening in all the States. Benjamin
Harrison the republican nominee for
President is not magnetic as the great
statesman from Main, yet no candi-
date has ever been known to draw so
permanently and steadily the support
and sympathy Of the people. 1t is
fairly conceded this early that he
will sweep the country. The vote
this year may not be 50 large as in
1884 from the fact that Blaine's

l1uS uCtiShA ASN V~t WV AutA NVtN va
all parties
Mr.. Harrison is wise and
honest statesman. He is chris
tan gentleman and takes an
active part in the workings of his
church and Sabbath School. The
indications are now that he will carry
the State of New York by fifty thous-
and that New York city and Brooklyn
will not give Cleveland more than
twenty thousand majority, thus Civ
ing Harrison thirty thousand in
New York. The wisest and best
posted democrats in this city concedc
to Harrison Indiana, Connecticut, New
Jersey and West Virginia. They also
concede North Carolina to Dockery.
No one pretends to say Harrison will
not hold all the States that Blaine
carried. In short, it may be put
down that Harrison will carry about
the Garfield vote of 1880.
Every republican is saying the
nominations this year were provi-
Dental. o. II, DOckery is much
stronger in North Carolina than any
other man or party. He will be
voted for regardless of party utilization
ard will be elected by a rousing big
majority All over the State as in
this city, eeery republican is satisfied
with him and scores of democrats are
coming out and declaring for him,
while hundreds of others are swearing
they would not vote for Fowle under
any consideration.
The issues Of the campaign are so
much against the democrats, that at
their own ratification meeting in "a
place like Charlotte, they can hardly
get up a yell for their candidate,
Dockery will run ahead Of his ticket,
but the entire republican ticket will
be elected, The republicans will
have majority in the lower house
and reduce the democratic majority
in the senate. There seems to be
apathy in the democratic party in all
parts of the State, while the republic
cans and prohibitiOnists are enthus-
iastic and hopeful.
The prohibitionists do not hope to
elect their State ticket, but theirs is
new party and they want and intend
to make a good showing, for they hope
to succeed in year or two. They
have good christian men on all their
tickets such men as should govern
the affairs of State. These prOhibi-
tionists may hurt the democratic
party here and the republican party
there, but that is no excuse for abus-
ing them. 1t is neither right nor
safe to abuse them, Let them have
their way. All should be allowed to
honestly differ from any party, and
then when the prohibitiOnists get in
We have nothing to fear.
The present outlook is Harrison
and Morton will be inaugurated Presi-
dent and vice President on the 4th of
next March and our own Oliver II.
Dockery. will be inaugurated Governor
of this State on the LIST of January.
Let republicans keep quiet and go to
the polls on the 4th of November and
vote the republican ticket straight.
That is the way i. looks now.

rather than advanced their own and

aristocracy ofany country is its work,

something new with the age and

THE BOYS ARE WORKING.
THE REPUBLICANS WILL GET y HERE
ON THE QUIET.

1t is now about month since the
Republican County Convey .tion, and
the ticket is growing stro' .lger every
day. The candidates arr, making a
quiet, honest canvass, nd will win
on their merits and the merits of the
issues they represent. The opposi-
ton is making one of the most deter
mined fights ever ma de here, and di-
recting their efforts. mainly against
Mr.. Kitchen for the Legislature, and
against Mr.. Bowers. Their cry of
"boodle" is only to divert attention
from their own efforts. 1t is conced-
ed that Messrs. Buxton, Feidt, and
Miller will be elected, therefore all
force is thrown against Mr.. Kitchen
and Geo. M. Bowers. The Republi-
cans are well organized all over the
county and their oars are not idle.
They should rally to the rescue of
those assailed at all hazards-the
whole ticket must be saved; do not
forget the assessors, and that sterling
young American and Republican,
"Billy" Woods. Give him an en-
couraging majority for the sake OF
young Republicanism and because he
is deserving and competent.
