The Last Resort.

Seeing that Ewart, Lusk, Wells,
Malone and the entire State, dis-
trict and county republican ticket
areg one the republicans of this coun
ty are now endorsing to trade all off
to save Worley for sheriff and
Nichols for register. They
first thoughttheH eHmight save Wells,
but the terrific e&pasures of his OBJ
lIquities have killed him off abse-
lutely, and now they hope by swap.
ing Wells, Malone, Uncle Geo.
Howell or any body else on their
ticket they may save Uncle Jack
and Chawles. Let all democrats and
good citizens of the republican par
ty who cannot stand these men
stand firm and march together in
solid phalonx and vote for the
straight democratic ticket from top
to bottom, and the victory for hon
est and economical government will
be complete.

We learn with pleasure that the
passenger traius on the line between
Salisbury and Knoxville are now
stocked with elegant and luxurious
day coaches of Pullman build and

Yesterday morning at half past
one o'clock, little Morris, the Eve
year old son, and only child, of
James and Flora Drummond died
of membranous Group. just twelve
hours previous the little fellow was
in the flush of health and childish
spirit. The next sun that rose upon
him lighted up the pale face OF his
corpse. It was painfully sad and
sudden, made more 90 by the abs
ence Of the father from home.

Mr.J. G.. Bostic Yesterday morn
lug showed US it's following telegram
he had just received:
SHELBY, Oct. 80, 1888.
John e.. Bostic The Wray block,
with all the contents, burned last
night. Insurance On contents $1O,-
600. None on building.
E. H. WRIGHT.
Mr.. B0stic informs us that the
block consisted of four two story
brick buildings which were occupied
as stores and printing establishments.
The value of the buildings was es-
timated at SIS, 700, and of the stock
of goods $4,000.
Among the property destroyed we
learn with much regret was that of
the Aurora Office. The aurora was
an ably conducted Democratic paper,
and was remarkable among the week
lies of the State for its good typos
graphy and general neatness. We
hope our friend will be on foot again
seon.
A job printing establishment in
the same block was also destroyed,
but we know nothing of its ownership.

Sam Fitzgerald, a good citizen of the

The Building and Loan Associa-
ton.

Ed. Herald While in the city ar
ranging for the improvement Of the
Crenshaw addition, Mr.. Eugene Low
bought ten shares of stock in the
Building and Loan Association. He
remarked that he had never been in a
thriving town but what had such an
association, and he is always ready to
assist any move for the benefit of
Phillipsburg.
This association Is IN a prosperous
condition. Three dollars a share has
been paid in and together with the
accrued premiums, interests and fines
is worth $500 per share. The books
are now open for series B, those tax
ing stock in this series have to pay
only the membership fee and fifty
cents a share and no back payments
nor premiums.
The more shares taken the greater
the amount to loan each month.
Every person who can possibly lay
by so cents or more per month should
deposit it with the association thus
benefting themselves, the other mem
bers and the city. Several have now
at their command, even IN this short
time, all the way from So to $50,
whereas if they had not placed it IN
the association fully one half Of them
would not have had any Of that
amount.
It is to the interest of every perma-
nent citizen Of Phillipsburg, and IN
fact any person in the county who can,
to see the Secretary during this month
and take stock in the association. 1t
is computed by. careful figuring that
it is better to pay a premium Of even
40 per cent. than to rent at present
prices. SECRETARY.

Mr.. J. S. Barnes, Secretary of
the Phillips County Agricultural So
ciety, who has filed this position so
creditably for several years, is conf
dent that the Phillips County Fair
this year will surpass all previous
efforts in the history of that county.
Now that Phillipsburg has a railroad
with a passenger and freight division
termini, and a substantial building
boom on hand, and good crops in
more than half of the county, and fair
In the other half, her enterprising
farmers should do ali they can in adj
vertising the county by making the
best exhibits they can IN all the de
partments. The energetic Secretary
has many attractions in store for the
people during the fair, which will re-
pay all to see. The Phillips County
Fair commences at Phillipsburg Sept.
18th, and continues four days

1t Will be remembered that two
weeks ago we called attention to the
fact that there was a serious question
of veracity up between the editor of
the Democrat and d. w. Smedley, the
Union Labor candidate for Clerk of
the District Court. The Democrat
published an announcement that it
was authorized to announce Smedley
as a democrat and a candidate before
the Democratic county convention.
Mr.. Smedley positively denies that
he gave the Democrat any such au-
thOrity and that he is not a democrat
having left that party two years ago.
This is a serious difference between
the two. gentlemen as it is plain that
either one or the other of those men
have prevaricated, and when the fact
is taken into account that the Demo
crGt has not ventured to reply to
Smedley, but is as silent as the tomb
in the matter, really looks like
our east side contemporary had
stretched his blanket" a. little, and
had misrepresented Mr.. Smedley.
Since the above was put in type
our attention has been called to the
following item which appeared in the
Democrat, but which had. till now,
escaped our attention:
We placed the name Of D. W. SmedIey at the
head of our columns for the reason that we be-
Ieve he would make good officer and another
reason we are of the opinion that We vote the
the same way, and we have no apologies TO
make
And so it turns out that the Demo
crat did announce Smedley's name
without being authorized so to do,
although that paper said eve are au-
thorized'' ETC., etc. The DemOcraf
has no apologies to make for DELHI
erately misrepresenting Mr.. Smedley
and making an untrue statement
about him, ell? Some people don't
seem to be embarrassed at all even
though exposed IN shabby political
tricks.

The County Platform

The platform adopted by the Re
publican county convention last Sat
urday is a most excellent one. It is
sound from stem to stern. It is rad
ically progressive, ringing out in bold
unequivocal terms in defense of the
peoples interests, in favor of reforms,
and in denunciatiOn of ''trusts" "mOn-
opOlies," the liquor traffic, and other
wrongful things Who now dares to
say that the Republican party is not
a progressive one? From the County
platform to the National the demand
Of Republicans is for ''the equality
of all before the law" "equal rights
to all, special privileges to none"
What a contrast between the Repub-
Ican and Democratic platfOrmsl
The latter is stupid, subservient to
the dictates of one man-Cleveland-
and is nOn-prOgressive and blindly
partisan. The Republican is aggres-
sive against the wrongs affecting the
country, and champions the rights Of
the great toiling masses, and really
rises above party and not only pro
poses radical reforms, but commits
itself to several progressive move
ments calculated to enlarge the
sphere of women, to greatly enhance
the interests of the industrial classes
and to push the nation up to a higher
moral and intellectual plane We
know of no good reason why a pro-
gressive anti-monOpoly Republican
or a prOhibitionist, or a woman suf-
! frigest, or liberal, broad-minded, hon
est voter should not this year stand
with the Republicans and hopefully
and joyfully help on that great pro-
gressive movement to place the Re
publican party again in power, and
/ to create a sentiment in the party
that would speedily bring about the
reforms needed. This is not the
time for any progressive voter to
leave the Republican party.
