A Regular Hatfield-McCoy Time in
Mitchell County.

AsHEvILLE, Nov. 12.-News has
been received hese a bloody fatal bat
tie election day at Big Rock Creek
voting place, Mitchell county, as the
result of long standing feud between
the Garland and Harrell families,
both Republicans but members of op.
posing factions of the party. The
weapons used were rocks. knives and
clubs. The battle continued several
minutes and men went down like chafi
before the wind under the effect of
stabs and fierce blows which rained
down. Sheriff Robt. Bradshaw fought
-hravely to suppress the trouble. with
out effect. When he came out the Of
hcer was completely covered with
blood from the wounds of the con-
testants. The men had to stop final
ly from sheer exhaustion. 1t was
found then that Monroe Garland and
Brownlow Stanley had stabbed each
other and both were dying. Clingman
Harrall and two sons were so badly
cut and bruised as to render death
certain. Louis Garland and two other
men are also expected to die, while
eight Others who participated had
broken heads and were otherwise pain
fully injured. During the fight some

THE RABBITS FOOT.
The Emblem of Good Luck in North
Carolina

1t will be remembered that when
Adlai E. Stevenson was here on Sept.
10Th, a peculiar present was made to
him. Mr. Uzzle sent him the left
hindfoot of graveyard rabbit similar
t. the one that was given Corbett at
Charlotte when on his way TO whip
Sullivan. The following telegram
was sent to Mr.. Stevenson:
HOTEL ZINZENDORF,
WINSTON, N. c., Nov. 10. 1892.
GEN. A. e. STEVENSON.
Bloomington, H., Congratulations
Old North Carolina exceeded my
rabbit foot prediction.
J. E. UZZLE.
A curious superstition exists in
North Carolina that the left hind foot
of a graveyard rabbit is a charm, for
good luck. 1t certainly proves so in
the greatest pugilistic event and the
greatest political event of recent
years.

The Cigarette Industry.

From the New Bern Journal.
It is wonderful indeed to note the
growth of the cigarette industry in
this county. The total number man
ufactured in 1868 is given as 230, 1865.
Ten years later the output had jump
ed up to 1920, 536. One year later
the total was nearly double, being
lag, ,669, ,537. Twenty years after the
beginning of the cigarette industry,
that is in 2876, the total output stood
at / ,5S4, $50, 900. For the year ending
June 30th, 1892, the total stands at
3, S92, $50, $40. A great industry in

THE CHRYSANTHEMU WAVE,
The king of Autumn" Very Popular
at This Time of Year


simultaneously with the sweep of
the cold November weather from the
northwest comes rolling over the
country billow which annually eX-
cites the wonder and admiration of
thousands of people. 1t is the chrys-
anthemum wave, which prevails for
month or six weeks, filling with eX-
quisite blooms the gap between the
disappearance of flowers which have
their out-Of-dOOr life in summer and
the appearance during the winter of
more delicate growths, which are at
home during the closed season only in
the hothouse.
The chrysanthemum is an example
of what may be accomplished by
careful study of plant life. The fore
fathers would hardly recognize in the
variety of form and color, the delicate
petals and graceful pose of the chrys-
anthemum of the present, the sturdy
and simple, not to say rank growth of
their day, the flower which grew of
itself almost among the tangled REM
nantS of the summer garden.
But the introduction of new varie
ties from Japan and care in hybridiZa-
tion have worked wonders in the flow
er, wonders which, though now eX-
pected, are always sufficient to excite
the liveliest comments of pleasure by
the observer.
About the only thing lacking in the
modern queen of the autumn is a
sweet scent. Much of the rank odor
| which formerly belonged to the flower
| has disappeared, and it is not without
the range of possibilities that in time
| all the blooms may have some delicate
| Derfume AS it is. they are very
hardy and of such beauty that the
| absence of scent is almost forgotten.
| There is nothing which gives greater
| pleasure to a greater proportion OF
people than this flower, and because
| of its timelineSs the chrysanthemum
Is likely to be always welcome when
| ever it's wave of blooms arrives.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
What the Tobacco Journal Has to Say
of the Winston Market,

Owing to continuance of unfavor-
able weather conditions and the ex-
citement of election week our leaf
sales are again quite meagre for this
season of the year. Good rains fell
during the week and the long drouth
has been broken.
On November 9th the weather ap-
preached a tobacco season." but the
sudden change to severe cold on
Thursday knocked all the prospects
in the head. However. a good many
planters got some tobacco ready for
market and the sales on Friday were
fairly large at several of the ware
houses, showing a strong disposition
to sell if the weather would only
permit.
The stock offered was of the usual
quality showing strong proportion
of really good working leaf Several
lots of extra fine filling stock of new
crop growth were sold and taken up
by local manufacturers for their
choicest brands.
The prices remain very strong on
all desirable tobacco. The slow sales
so far this season has made the trade
anxious to buy and hence all grades
bring outside prices. Filters are per-
hapss strongest, with the exception of
good working wrappers which have
advanced perceptibly. Smokers keep
well up und promise to hold their own
through the year. Foreign stemming
leaf is also in very active demand this
season. Cutters alone are drag on

Our manufacturers report active
sales for the past week and good col
lections. They look for better trade
now that the strain of election is
over and business VIII settle down to
its legitimate channels. Shipments
for the past week are quite good as
the following revenue stamp sales at
this office show:

Davenport's Downfall.
From the New York World.

Davenportism collapsed completely
yesterday. After weeks of buster.
Davenport made but 200 arrests. Most
of them were arbitrary, illegal and
wholly without prOyOcation, but their
making did not stir Democrats to dis
order, as was intended.
The Democrats were equipped with
better weapons than those of riot and
blOodshed. They had votes and they
used them, and Davenportism went
down before a tremendous majority
for Cleveland and free elections.

some Majority.

Bower Elected to Congress by a Hand
some Majority.
The official figures have not been
received yet. but the latest advice is
that w. III. Bowers majority over
Wilcox will be at least 3,100.
There are twelve counties in the
district. In those heard from Bow
er's plurality in each are as follows:
Forsyth, 504; Burke, 400; Caldwell,
600; Allegheny, 300. The counties to
ell, Cleveland and CASTOR. Wilkes
only gave Wilcox majority OF $50.
The strange part of it all is that the
Democrats of this latter county cleo
ted their sheriff and several other can
didates. The county heretofore has
been going from 400 to 600 Republi-
can.

Big Time in GuilGord.

Greensboro rejoiced over the cleo
tion Thursday night. The Record
says that the county candidates were
carried around on the shoulders of the
enthusiastic crowd, and then taken
into Tate's drugstore and stood up on
the counter, side by side, where they
were forced to make speeches. The
Democratic chairman of that county,
r. r. King, failed to escape them, and
was nabbed also. r.. NJ. Rees was
standing off enjoying it, when the
crowd made for him and carried him
around too.

From the Baltimore Sum-
The triumph of the Democratic

history among the "decisive battles"
of the world-tEose battles which

VICTORY FOR THE UNION.
From The Charleston Newz-Courier.]
1t is victory for the union, not for
the South. 1t means solid union,
not solid South. 1t means a death
blow to sectiOnalism and the revival
of true patriotism in it's broadest and
best sense. 1t means that the gov
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people has not indeed perished
from the face of the earth, and that
the people of the South will unite
heartily with their true friends and
fellOw-citiZenS everywhere in the
Union to pledge each other that it
it shall never perish from the earth.
THE INDEPENDENTS VICTORY.
From the New York Times, Ind,
The victory is truly and profoundly
a victory of the independent voters,
of the men who have abandoned the
Republican party because it had aban-
doned right pand justice and honor,
because that party was Loyalty pledg-
ed to reform.
WATTERSON RESOICES.
LOUISVILLE courier Joeru.a-t
The campaign of education has
been fulfilled. A campaign of aggres-
sion has done its perfect work. Home
rule, revenue reform and honest ad-
minfstration are orders given the
government by the people of the Unit
ed States, and for the next four years
at least they will constitute and en-
body the public policy. No more rob-
Der tax laws; no further danger of
predatory Force bills: but all the peo-
pie of all the sections in the saddle
and tariff for revenue only.
NO ENGLISH CHEAP LABOR.
Prom the New York Herald.
Awakened to the disastrous tenden-
cies of protection and realizing the
danger menaced by English cheap
labor, the people have rendered their
| verdict. 1t is against protection and
English cheap labor. 1t is for Ameri-
| can skilled labor and American wage
| earners. The result is popular tri-
umph for national congratulation.

The Fifth District.

GREENSBORO, Nov. 11.-Nothing abb
solutely certain can be learned about
the Fifth district, but private tele-
gram from Granville says that owing
to a mistake in the count in several
precincts in that county Williams has
a small majority. Caswell is not yet
heard from. One precinct in Stokes
county shows that the ballot box was
stuffed during fight, for Settle, and
it will probably be thrown out. In
another precinct 800 ballots cast were
printed siThomas A. Settle,r instead
of s"Thomas H. Settle" These it is
said will be thrown out. Settle is
probably defeated by about so votes.
Capt. William S. Ball, Republican, of
this city, admitted that it looked like
Williams is elected.
