him by the doctor was no sooner
swallowed than it escaped through the
wound. The doctor did not even take the
trouble to sew up the cash, his patient
case appeared so hopeless. Yet to-day he is
alive and well. Medical men say there is
but one such case on record. Another of
the Ransom brothers was also cut SO terri

Suppose, then, that the farmers in
the Democratic party were to sug-
gest to the hotheads Of that party
to stop booming Cleveland and Hill
for the. nomination and feel the
pulse of sthe country on Senator
Vance for a while. What a stir it
would make! True, they might
lose a doubtful state, but they would
gam half dozen in the place Of it.
The reason is plain and simple.
Vance is noted as PLAIN man ofthe
people, a wise man, pure man and
honest, able and efficient man.
His people love him. and tears Of
Joy will come TO the eyes Of a North
Carolinian every time he hears
praises Of "0ld Zeb Vance," uld
and young, Republicans and DEM
ocrats, rich and poor, black and
whit, will all alike feel happy and
safe when such men are chosen.

In the great Democratic, meeting
in Columbia, S. G, Tuesday, Senator
Hampton said among other things.
Ny friends, let me tell you that we
need not look far to be taught what
can be the result Of division in Dem.
ocratlc ranks. Look to our old and
great sister, the Commonwealth of
Virginia. You all remember that
when Hancock was nominated for
President Malone placed in the field
an electoral ticket in opposition to
the regularly constituted ticket. He
and they all declared that they we're
Democrats, and what was the result?
The State was lost. Malone became
a Readiuste-, an Independent. As
an Independent Democrat, as he
claimed to be. hs was elected to the
United States Senate, and, in his first
utterance in the Senate, he said that
he was a better Democrat than the
great Senator from Georgia, Ben Hill;
and YOU remember that he sold him
self to the Republicans and became
the most bitter aud malignant enemy
Of his own people. Thank God! the
Old Dominion has redeemed hersef
and has consigned Malone to the in-
fanny he deserved, and I pray to God
that such may be the fate of all such
renegades and Independents as he is.

the twentY.eignt anniversary Of The
battle Of Malvern Hill and Che
twenty-seventh anniversary of
Gettysburg, in both Of which events
he and many Of his hearers had
figured, and SAID the remembrance
OF a sbraye and honorable participa-
tion in those history-making con-
tests might well be mans most
cherished possession. The General
spoke at length on the pension
question, denouncing both the de-
pendent and the service pension
bills, and holding that the govern
ment should cali halt in its pro-
fuse expenditure in that line. He
said the man, poor.as he might be,
who had brayely fought for his
country in her time Of need, was
greater than a coward who might be
a millionaire, and that such a man,
unless he was in absolute want,
should rot lower himself to accept
aims, even from the government he
helped preserve. His remarks we're
