OF Professor Ale sander McIver and the
Other Republicans of North Carolina
and the South.
In Mr.. Ewart's speech in the House in
opposition to the Force bill, after speak
ing of the losses suffered by the South
on account of the war. he thus refers to
his party in this State and the South, and
compares the prosperity of the South
under Democratic rule with the outrages
and misrule of the Republicans:
''On the heels Of this fearful loss by
war and destruction of values, came po-
litical misrule and degradation against
which it seemed almost hopeless to strive.
"The State governments fell into the
hands of the most disreputable gang of
thieves and plunderers that ever dis
graced nation, and the very name of
Republicanism became stencil in the
nostrils of all honest men. By blood
shed, violence and intimidation these
governments were wrested from the
| thieves and plunderers, and to-day with
out exception are held by the Demo
cratic party. In spite of this long era
of misrule, and all the evils of recon
struction, the South has prospered as
never section prospered before. Go
South now, and your journey will be
through continuous and unbroken
strain of the music of progress, the
whirr of tho spindle, the buzz of the
saw, the roar of the furnace and the
throb of the locomotive"

HOW GAP CIVIL GOT ITS NAME.

[Statesville Landmark.
There are few more interesting studies
than the origin of the names of locali-
ties, and excepting "Statesville,' there
is no place the reason for the name of
which has puzzled and interested US
more than "Gap Civil" Allegheny coun-
ty-the original county seat of Allegheny
if we are not mistaken. Most unexpect-
edly we find in the Allegheny Star, of
last week, the explanation of why "Gap
Civil" is SO called, and the explanation
is SO very unique as to give zest to all
future researches along this line. Gap
Civil is two miles from Sparta, the pres
ent county seat of Allegheny. 1t is
situated in a gap between two large
mountains, and, the Star tells US, was
at one time the muster ground for the
southern portion of Ashe and the voting
precinct for all the lower part of Ashe
before Allegheny was cut off from it.
The first settler, our contemporary says,
had store and dwelling at the gap and
entertained those who attended the mus
ters and elections with the best of whis-
key aud brt ndy. AS result of his hos
pltallty there were many tests of man
hood among the assembled sovereigns-
sometimes as many as dozen fights
were going on at the same time; but no
pistol, dirk, knife or other weapon was
ever used; the fighting was fair, and
hence the name of the place was called
"Gap Civil"
This is the most exquisite piece of
drollery we ever read, and there is
enough parallelism to suggest Scott's ac
count in ''Ivanhoe" of certain delight.

were so slight-only fifteen or twenty

Poor Public Men.

The disclosure of the fact that the
late Justice Miller died poor man,
leaving nothing but his honse for his
family, is contradictory to the oft re-
peated statement that men in public
make money. 1t is very low-minded
individual who makes such sweeping
charges, yet we hear them often. His
tory disproves the assertion. Roscoe
Conkling died poor man, and all that
he left belonged to the earnings of his
law practice after leaving the Senate.
Samuel J. Randall left nothing, though
for many years he was in public life
and made fortunes for others. Gen
w. S. Hancock was another poor man
who had opportunities for getting rich,
had he so minded. Others might be
added tosthis list were it necessary.
This last case Of Justice Miller, re-
calls the mean, cOntemptuous remark,
and brings to public mind the move

Diphtheria From A Cat.

DUDGENvILLE, Wis, Oct, 29.-The
family of Robert Paul, at Middleton,
has been afflicted by diphtheria, which
was brought into the house in a singu-
lar way. About three weeks ago
stray cat came to their house, and one
of the children handled and played
with it. Although it was noticed at
the time that it discharged at the nose
and mouth nothing was thought of it
until soon after, when the littl e boy
came down with black diphtheria, one
of the most malignant kind, that the
doctor said he had caught from the cat.
The boy died, then a second took
the disease and died. The father,
mother and daughter were stricken
down and recovered. Allen, the only
remaining son and support of his par
ents, cared for them all through their
sickness, holding one of the boys when
dying and preparing them for their
resting place with his own hands.
When the others were recovering he
was taken down and died.

Sending Mails

There is no reason TO doubt the en-
tire practicability of pneumatic tube
lines between New York and Philadel-
phia, for the rapid transmission Of
mail matter and small packages, nor
that the undertaking would prove
highly remunerative to the stOckh hold
ers. 1t is stated that the capital stock
of the company will be SIC, 100000 that
the tubes will be made of copper and
he two feet in diameter, that the line
will cross the Delaware near TacOny,
the tubes being laid on the river bot
tom, that there will be way stations
along the line, that the speed of trans
mission is to be four miles a minute,
and that the rates are to be low enough
to attract a large part of the business
now done by wire between the two
cities. Theoretically the project is
merely an extension of the pneumatic
tube service which has long been in
use in the large cities, more particular
ly in London, Paris and Berlin, for the
distribution of mail matter. Upon the
London lies, which aggregated 33
miles in 1885, tubes made of vulcan
lied fibre, manufactured in Wilmington
have been used to some extent.

The Dakota Farmer.

The Dakota farmer, when good crops
prevail and prices are as good as the
crops, is man to be envied by his
brother farmer in the East. He plants
his seed in the spring, and if he is sim
ply wheat grower he has nothing to
DO until harvest time. His ground is
so rich that he does not have to i'm
poverish himself by buying fertilizers
and he can grow wheat as long as he
lives. When his grain is garnered and
threshed he takes it to the elevator and
gets the current price for it in solid
cash. Ther are drawbacks. There is
not so much society as in the East.
Ihere are no trees to shelter him in

CORDELE AND BEYOND, Oct. II, 1890.
Two picturesque characters are fast
being eliminated from Southern poll
tics these are the redOubtable Major"
and the ubiquitous "Brigadier," the
one relic of ante bellum days, the
other an outcome of the late war. In
deed, so marked is the line being drawn
by newer and younger men, that even
the battle Scared Gordon does not es-
cape the pertinent inquiry to step down
and out. Sentiment, if so Shiny crea-
ture as state politics can be credited
with possessing, soon loses its hold
when the grab for Office is being made
excepting the majestic Longstreet and
possibly the heroic Hampton. No
other great actor in the war of the Con-
federacy was to the end so consistant
to his principles aud who like Caesar
wrapping the mantel of his Last
Cause" about him went down defiant
to the last as Jefferson Davis.
But there is another figure in these
changeful politics who will not down,
and he is the Judge, who happily is
always in the hands of his friends.
The Judge holds a strong place yet in
the affections and votes of the yeo-
manry. On the hustings he NAV
stump his district as a lawyer, doctor.
or even preacher, but ever afterward
his title is assured whether the Office
is or not Absolutely no great question
affects the South at present except
wOrk-and with this the politician has
little to do.
The New South while resurrecting
the untold wealth heaped up in wood
ed hills and mineral wales of the old
finds time to relegate to oblivion the rad
ical ideas that seeks to dominate mems
better judgement against their better
will. Patronage in Office does not push
toward the men brainy enough to de-
velop by patient toll or persstant head
work their resources. Even the ram
pant newspapers whose length exceeds
the illimitabe distance traversed by
the journey of two parallel lines is
powerless to do more than dish up SEN
sational crumbs of morbidness to a ma
ton of tired readers.
Once statesman evoked the epi-
gram that on great momentous uues-
tions it we're better wisdom to trust
the people "who never 90 wrong !"
Strange then that a people SO united,
SO loving of home, so high spirited
under the inspirations of the memoried
past should be so led by aspiring dem
sgogues from their CHEEKY hearthstones
to the blazing fire of their countrv's
altar to offer themselves in immolation
and sink into unmarked grave trenches
as this brave people have done at the
beck and call of sordid designing poll
