OUR RINGWOOD LETTER.

RINawooD, n c., Nov. -, 1892.
The election is over, and being an
earnest advocate OF Cleveland's nomina-
ton, feel gratifed no little at his tri-
umphant election thus indicating the
Judgment of the people as against the
politicians. Mr.. Woodlands election to
Congress is a cause for much rejoicing.
He endeared himself to our people on his
first visit here for his conservative ut
terances and thorough gentlemanly de-
pertinent and will be held in high esteem
in future He will no doubt make us q
most worthy, capable and conscientious
representative. Well it was a landslide
and all are satisfied. Now let lis go to
work and build up the waste places and
with good government, economy in pub
lie and private affairs, we can begin q
new era OF prosperity and happiness for
North Carolina.
Mrs. b. A. johnson, mother of l.. d.
Johnson, Mrs. T. H. Taylor, and Mrs.
George Davis, died at the residence of
Mr.. T. H. Taylor near Brinkleyvile on
October 22nd. She had long spell of
fever and being about 70 years of age
could not survive the attack. She was
a Christian and has entered into the Joys
OF a Christians rest.
Tobacco sales at Rocky Mount last
week were highly encouraging. This
section came out 4 No. l. Mr.. c. A.
Williams had the largest lot of any one
OF that day, received premiums for the
largest check and number of pounds,
premiums amounting to $50; sold 49,
1876 pounds for 50, 500 This section is
said to have the finest tobacco on the
market this year showing what can be
done in that line by those who pay par
ticular attention to business. Mr.. Cole
manager of Mr.. Williams tobacco crop,
is far ahead of any one on handling
tobacco, not having made single fail
ure in the three years he has handled
Mr.. Williams large crop.
Mr.. A. W. Threewitts has only three
acres in tobacco and has already sold in
premiums and for tobacco $3.50 which is
only half of his crop.
Miss Bessie Whitaker, OF LittletOn, has
been visiting friends in Ringwood for the
past week and the fragrance of her
witchery has sweetened every scene in
which she moved and the glory of her
charms has intoxicated all hearts with
delirium of delight.
The beautiful, bewitching and charm
ing Miss Sallie Perry, of Airlie, has been
visiting her sister, Mrs. l.. d. Johnson,
for the past week We can't remember
to have seen a more exquisite and de-
lightful specimen of womanhood.

THE WEEKLY PAPERS.

The DEMOCRATIC press of North
Carolina have cause to rejoice. A
more loyal, patriotic set of men would
be hard to find. Unreservedly and
unselhshly they have measured up to
the full standard Of their duty to the
cause of good government, which of
course means the success of the Demo-
cratic party. They have stood on the
watch tower and failed not even
though in many instances their course
was at a personal sacrifice of time,
expense and loss of patronage to them
selves. But the average editor knows
but one master and that is Duty, and
come what may he is ready to meet it
let the consequences be what they may.
This is true of the daily as we'll as the
weekly press OF North Carolina, but
it is of the latter class, speaking oil
course for the Virginia papers princi.
pally, that the Richmond Dispatch
pays tribute to in the following
language:
After the victory comes the award
Of honors. Spurs have been won by
a few and are soon to be conferred.
Many of our warriors are to be
knighted. Others are to be publicly
thanked. Let US not forget any who
are deserving, and in this list we
particularly want to see the weekly
newspapers gratefully remembered.
During the campaign we had fire.
quent occasion TO refer to the value of
their services, and now, looking over
the field which we have won and the
trophies lying al our feet, we can
appreciate better than ever what they
have done.
All political battles are nowadays
largely fought by newspapers Edi-
tors, reporters and correspondents are
among the artillery, cavalry and
infantry of the army. All help, but
the editor of the political weekly
gives himself up to his party during
the campaign. His Office is head
quarters. He bestows his time at the
sacrifice of his business. His columns
he surrenders to lists of appointments,
to reports of public meetings, to
paragraphs commenting upon the
issues of the day, and encouraging
workers to do their best. Everything
that he has is placed at his party's
disposal. and when the fight is over he
is liberal in his praise of all who have
deserved it. For himself he expects
nothing, and he is generally not dis
appointed. This is not fair and is
generally not meant by the public,
but We would do we'll to begin a
reformation in the matter.
We think We speak for the Demo
cratic committees and for the party
generally when we say that our
brothers of the weekly press have
fought glorious fight, and without
them the battle could not have won.
The daily papers may have been the
"bis guns" of the battle, but the
sleepless scouts and sharp-shooters
who carried the war into the interior
and reused up that moving but
terrible enemy to fraud and humbug-
gerry, the American farmer, were the
weekly papers.
