The speaking that was to have taken
place at Derita last night, through
some misunderstanding, did not come
off. Only one of the candidates ap-
peared on the scene, and no crowd nor
Third party out against them on the
ground He did not think that oratory

Whether it is that the farmers are
too busy picking cotton to gin and
haul it, or whether low prices have
checked and depressed business, GER
tain it is that something has materially
changed the looks of affairs in Cotton
town and at the platform. For three
days receipts have been almost I'M
pr~ecedentedly light for this season of
the year, says the Charlotte Observer.
We dislike greatly to have it to say,
but the matter of vote buying and sell
ing as practiced In this county land
any other county for that matter) is a
serious matter. Wedon't mean to say
that it is confined to any one party,
but what we do say is that such bust
ness would seem more in place In the
iungles of Africa than in. a so called
civilized country, says the Lexington
Dispatch.
Shelby ReU6eW: We learn that a
party of revenue officers made a raid
into the Ben's Knob section some days
ago and cut up six stills. They then
set fire to the still houses, and from
the burning houses the fire spread to
the woods and swept over the South
Mountain section. The entire popula-
tion had to turn out to save their
homes and crops and everybody was
kept busy for days and nights fighting
the fire.
The Express was mistaken in saying
last week that a certain staunch Demo
crat of Deep River township who had
his house burned some time ago was
refused help by his Third party neigh
bors on account of his political princi
pies. The person referred to was Mr..
Thos. Harrington. He requests us to
state In justice to his Third party
friends that he was literally helped by
them while in need, says the Sanford
Express.

burning of North Fork church, some
little time before he left, and a bond
of $500 was given for his appearance
at this term of our court, and the same
stands on the dockets against him
