That the rule of the Republican par

That the rule of the Republican party
will not continue mach longer is made evil
dent by the fact that the working men in
the States in which that party has its
greatest strength are beginning to under
stand and to realize the demonstrated truth
that country of 65, 900, 900 people has out
grown the swadIing clothes of protection,
and that high tariff is a delusiou and a
snare, increasing the profits CT the manu-.
facturers, but not the wages of labor, and
while doubling the price of the necessaries
of life, afording no protection whatever
against the immigration of foreign labor, to
compete in glutted market with the native
labor Of the county. When the knowl-
edge Of this rock-ribbed Truth shall become
generai-and it is rapidly ap.eading-the
day of the Republican parry will have
passed. Present appearances Indicate that
the contamination so devontly desired will
not be delayed beyond next year.-Alex.

ATLANTA, Sspt. 21-Richard Hornig, a
poor German, settled near Anstell some
time ago. He was an honest, hardworkipg
farm laborer, and won the respect and con-
fdenee of all who knew him. He received
but little attention from the women in tine
settlement. Eut thara was ona poor girl,
Miss 0'Shields, who was always kind to the
stranger, md their friendship soon ripened
into love. AS both were very poor, matri-
mony was not thought of.
A few months ago letter with foreign
stamp arrived at the Anstell postoffioe, d.
rected to Richard Hornig. 1t announced
to him the death of his father in Germany,
and that he was sole Leir to 5000, 600
marks. Mr.. Hornig visited Germany, had
no trouble in getting bis fortune. aud re-
turned to Anstell last week. OF course
this change in his condition made mark
ed change in the reception accorded him.
But his heart was still true to the little
woman who had besn his friend when he
wag poor stranger, and he made her his
wife to-day.
Miss O'Shields was taken from the cot
ton field and arrayed in silk and fine linen
and surrounded by all the luxuries that
wealth could buy. Her husband says that
he intends to send her to the best schools
in the old world to fit her for her nag life.
When asked why he did ,lot marry an edu-
Gated gil, Mr. Hornig replied that such
showed him no attention when they thought
him penniless stranger, and he would al
ways feel, should he marry one of them,
that his wife wanted him only for his
money. He knew the bride ha had select
ed truly loved him, and this, be said, was
what re desired above ali else.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
FOR THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
G. W. KOINER,
II. J. WILLIAMS.
Ills That do Not Happen.

The N. Y. journal of Commerce says
that "the writer of "Proverbial Phllosc-
phy'' recorded a much neglected truth
when he said that it is the ellis which
never happen that chiefly make US wretch
ed" Looking for evil is the great burden
on most human lives, and most of the
trouble thus anticipated never comes; men
see lions in the path before them and waste
their flesh and sadden their hearts az,
quaking with fears, they approach the grim
monarchs of the forest only to find them
chained, or it may be mere bronze imita-
tions of the animals whose presence they
SO much dread. The sky is black with a
tempest, but it sweeps around to the north,
or the thick clouds roll away overhead
being only vapors, owing their dense color
to the driving wind. The pessimist says:
"Bsware of the coming storm, and be pre-
pared for it. but the optimist has a kind
lier message, which reads: "Look for good
and have it, thy Creator has thoughts of
mercy for thee"
We know all that may be said about the
wisdom of being prepared for the future,
but those who are most diligent in observ-
ing this maxim are all their lifetime in
bondage to their fears. The huge standing
armies in Germany Russia, France and
Italy emptying the public treasury and
impoverishing the people, are maintained
on this principle. The motto is "Be al
ways ready for warp But is it wise to
keep millions of men all the year round
clad in their coats of mail and sleeping on
their arms lest the country should not be
ready for some impending conflict? Are
the United States in any greater peril OF
war with only 5000 Federal soldiers in
the service than they would be if we mad a
million of men under arms? There are
some who make every pocket In their
clothes an arsenal filled with concealed
weapons, lest they should be suddenly as.
saulted, while thousands of others do not
own any warlike armament, and meet with
nothing to disturb their peace. 1t is an un-
deniable truth that they have the most con-
ficts who are most fully armed.
There is much said against life of
Trust, and many believe that 1t is much
more heroic to expect danger ahead and
ba always prepared and ready to meet it.
But why should men take such counsel of
their fears, and travel life's journey with
weapons always in their hands? Even if
nothing but Chance held sway over human
lives, it would be far better to look for good
and not evil. The traveller who goes sing
ing On his way has not only more present
comfort for himself, and is much more
helpful to Others, but he actually meets
fewer conflicts and sore trials than those
who go moaning liz constant dread of COM
ing peril. And if, as we believe, there is a
watchful Providence controlling every
event. even to the falling of a single hair,
how much more reasonable is it to trust to
such benefcent guidance than to walk in
terror Of the dim shadows that are often
bat spectres to intimidate the fearful and

DEATH UNDER SAD CIRoUMsTANCEsl-
Mr.. Samuel FL. Gave was found dead las

Marksville, this county, under very sad cir

O'Clock Tuesday night, though was up as
late as 12 O'Clock, when he went to bis
room, and retired, as the other members of
the family thought, as nothing more than
usual was heard from him during the night.
Early Wednesday morning smoke was seen
issuing from the room in which he slept.
The door was broken open and the house
found to De on nre, which however was
soon put out by several buckets of water.
AS soon as the room could be entered on
account of the dense, sitting smoke that
filled it, several neighbors, who had by this
time gathered, went in and a search was
begun for Mr.. Cave. He was found under
the bed dead, with one hand which project.
ed out almost entirely consumed by fire.
An examination led to the conclusion that
MICS on going to his room had attempt
ed to light or fill his lamp when it explod-
cd. The floor where the lamp had fallen
was burned through, as was also the sides
Of the roo,a. The wonder is that the house
was not destroyed. Mr.. Cava had bruises
about the face and head, received it is sup

room. He died doubtless from suffocation.

remember that they have organized them

ment. Every American citizen, therefore,
has a right to discuss, commend or con

justly complain. True, this should be done
within the bounds of moderation and truth

moderation and of truth, would that afford
Sufficient excuse for the organization of 8

that if the state committee had not done
just what they desired most of all things
the powers of hell could not have driven

Loyal democrats in the alliance should be
on the alert and see that they are not swept

cipies by soheming politicians who, having
