Fight in a Barber Shop.

There was lively row in Locklear's
barber shop, under Julius Lewis & Co.'S.
store, yesterday. Locklear who is the
boss of the shop and Alexander Barnett
who is one of the BARRIERS there had a
very active disagreement about some
thing. Indeed the argument was so
very obstreperous, that the police had
to 60 in as an arbitration committee.
The officers found Barnett carrying on
his argument with big three legged
stool, while Locklear. was presenting his
side of the question with heavy light
wood stick four feet long and three inch
es wide. Both parti IS were arrested
and bound over to court. Barnett, it
appears, had been celebrating the

horrible accident occurred at the Buena

this city this morning. There ara 900
laborers employed by the company for
day and night work. At o'clock the
night men were called off and the hoist
was let down in the mine to convey them
to the top. Six men boarded it and all
went we'll until within ten feet of the
top when the shaft gave way, causing
the rope to break. Three men leaped
for their lives and two succeeded in
clinging to the siding until they were
rescued. The four unfortunates were
hurled down the shaft, a distance of $50
feet, to the bottom.
The dead are: Eli Painter, John
Montgomery and Litz Snead, killed out.
right: Floyd Marion had his collar bone
broken and received injuries internally
but will probably recover.

1t is an error that Capt Oct. Coke is
a candidate for Congress as member
of the Alliance. Capt. Coke is not
member of the Alliance, and as we un-
derstand it, is not candidate for Con-
gress. Capt. Coke has patriotically ac-
cepted the position of Chairman of the
Wake County Democratic Executive
Committee, and is exerting his we'll
known ability to make a Democratic
county.

Judge Womack and w. F. Stroud for
Congress. Although Mr.. Stroud knew
nothing of the movement, he received
practically the endorsement of the con-
vention. Before Mr.. Stroud would allow
his name to be presented, he made
statement. He said that if they wished
to vote for him, they must not vote for
him as Farmers Alliance candidate, as
he would not accept the position if ten
dered to him as such. He belonged to
that organization it is true, but he was s
Democrat every inch, and any political
preferment that might be offered to him
must be rendered to him as a Democrat
and nothing else.-Exchange.

challenge could not be met, and the
scheme was hastily abandoned. The
value of this teaching is seen in the in
creasing number of young scholars who
are leaving the party of their fathers
and joining the progressive Democratic
party. Conspicuous among them is Mr..
WIN. E. RUSSELL, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor in the past two cam
paigns. Prejudice is hard to overcome,
and these young men have up hill work
to make New England Democratic. But
they are slowly reducing the Republican
majority in every State, and they will
win.
At the meeting of the Harvard Alum
nj, the friends of HENRY CABOT LODGE
urged his name as Trustee, but he was
defeated. The next day one of the Re-
publican papers of Boston came out with
cartoon showing what it claimed to be
Democratic plan of trying to throw
slime on Mr. LODGE Shades of SUMNER!
Here at Harvard, Republican Congress
man is defeated for Trusteeship Of the
University, and his partizan friends de-
clare it to be Democratic revenge But
how happens it, if the Democrats have
only the ''scum," that among the Alum
nj of Harvard they can avenge them
selves upon an opponent? OF course no
such purpose actuated them, but
the charge shows that the Re-
publicans acknowledge they have
the power. Speaking of Harvard,
our North Carolina representatives have
made a most enviable record at Cam
bridge. PROF. LOVE has held the Nor
gan fellowship in mathematics, HORACE
WILLIAMS has been the foremost student
of Philosophy, and COLLIER COBB the
foremost of the younger geologists and
president of the Southern Club, stands
at the head of his work and is held in
high esteem by his professors.
Along the line of the growth of Dem
ocratic ideas in this home of culture, I
thought it would be good illustra-
tion to see how the papers
of the two parties compared in
point of circulation. The readers
of the CHRONICLE will remember that a
few weeks ago Mr. CLARKsoN declared
that the press of the country was in the
hands of the Democrats, and called upon
the Republicans to establish strong pa
pers at the centres and to rally to their
support. He said that so far as the in
dependent papers were concerned they
were all preaching Democracy, and that
they did the Republican party quite as
much damage as if they were out and
out Democratic. He quoted statistics of
the leading papers of the country to show
that the most influential of the press was
in the hands of the Democrats
