a BLESSING AND A CURSE.
Rev. Mr.. Jones Sends in His Endorse
ment Of the County Commits
sinners

To he Editor of the C1avlo te Chronicle
PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. 23.-I
shall ever have an abiding interest
IN the prosperity and happiness of
the citizens OF your charming city.
In my peregrination l have nowhere
found a better class Of people or a
more cleanly city than Charlotte. l
know many of her citizens have
been deeply panied and mortified bv
the disgraceful confession that the
closing Of the saloon Of Charlotte
would necessitate the closing of the
public schools. Affirming to the
outside world that it is necessary to
debauch the parents in order to edu-
cate the children! Shut up the dog
geries and you close the public
schools! The declaration was insti-
gated by the devil, and is only re-
peated by his henchmen. If fthe alter
native is vice or ignorance, which will
you chooses Ignorance and inno-
cence is thousand times preferable
to education and debauchery
When the day shall come in American
history that the license money OF
this damnable traffic is essential tc
the maintainance Of any of our insti
tutions then we have entered int
the league with death and the con
venant with hell. Then the deatl
knell of all we prize will be sounded
and the devil will fiddle and dane,
over the grave of all that good mel
cherish and God approves. Tn
opposition to the action of your com
missioners is as natural as the rag
and roar Of the infuriated Gor
when the prey is wrenched from hi
hungry jaws. Let the good peopl
of your community stand firm by tn
commissioners, and you will even
ually exterminate this fearful ours
form the grand old State of Mort
, Carolina. Yours truly,
SAM P. JONES.

The Democratic State Convention.
Special Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.

Special Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
BELcRoss, N. c., Feb. 26.-The
Democratic party is noted for put
ting its foot in its mouth when it
speaks. It seems there is an effort
being made to hold the next session
of the Democratic State Convention
in the town of Charlotte. Why not
let we'll enough alone and hold it in
Raleigh, the most central and ac-
cessible place in the State. In the
name of the Democrats of the East
as Democratic Allianceman l
protest against this innovation.
Nothing good can come of this
change, but much evil. 1t will
cause a thin delegation from the
East, and dissatisfaction which, in
the present disturbed condition in
the politics of the State, may be
the cause of losing the State to the
Democrats and turning it over to
s.our friends the enemy" l cal
see no good reason for this change.
If western Democrats want to pre-.
serve the unity and supremacy o
the party in the State, then let then
lay aside sectionalism and hold th'
convention in the capital of tn
State as all the States, nearly, d.
as heretofore, and North Carolin'
is safe. In this opinion | am sure
l am voicing the Democracy OF tn
entire East.

An UNHAPPY ALLIANCE,
'Fhe Marriage Of James

Miss Nevins.
SECX. BLAINE WRITES
Givi,ag The Public HIS Side of The
Unfortunate A.fair.-2hs Young
W0n Vas lN1n0r.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.-Secre.
tary Blaine has given a full state
nent to the press giving in full the
attendant upon the unfor-
nate marriage of his young son,
James 6. Blaine, Jr., to Miss
Macie Nevins. He says Miss
Nevins arranged all the particulars
of the marriage and did everything
to promote it. Young Blaine was
more sinned against than SHINING.
The Secretary publishes in the
statement the letter he wrote
to Father Ducey, who mar
ried the young couple in
New York, protesting in strong
terms against the actions of the
priest in the matter and showing
that the priest knew beforehand
that the young man was a. minor,
not more than eighteen. Then
extracts are given from Miss
Nevins' notes showing that she, and
not young Blaine, was the princi.
pal promoter of the Alliance. After
this Mrs. Secretary Blaine's con
nection with the affair il
rehearsed at length and i
is shown that she was no
the cause of the separation and di
vorce of the young couple. TIL,
escapa1es of young Mrs. Blaine ar
gone over and the Secretary show
that everything reasonable wa
done to promote her comfort am
; happiness. And lastly the actio
of the Deadwood, S. D.. judge VIII
granted the full divorce, is crit
cised and it is shown that the di
vorce was granted on exceedingl
flimsy evidence. The announce
ment has created quite a social stir

The Coming North Carolina Educa-
tional Leader.
From Charlotte Democrat.

The report of President George
T. Winston to the trustees Of the
University on the present condition
and future prospects OF that institu-
ton is the ablest, the boldest, and
the best all-round educational paper
ever published in North Carolina.
This is saying a great deal, but we
mean Just what We say, and We in
vite all educators to read and pom
der the marked Ut erances of this
great teacher. We confess that up
to the reading OF this mastery pro-
duction. we did not realize the hold
Prof. Winston has on those who
know him best. Els work will
have marked effect upon educa-
tion in the good old State. 1t will
bring them all up, and yet make
the State University what it ought
to be-a crown to me whole.

Rejoicing in Winston Over the Rail-
road Deal,

TOdu Dtdls
WINsToN-SALEM, N. c., Feb. |
% Special. There is unquali-
fed satisfaction over the transfer Of
the Roanoke and Southern railroad
to the Norfolk and Western. 1t
gives Winston-Salem the best
freight rates in the State or South.
1t now has three great systems in
it's centre working for business from
and to the West, East, South and
Seaboard, and they are not pooled.
The reputation of the Norfolk and
Western as a town builder is prom
ised here. 1t has never failed to
benefit unmistakably every section
and town that it traverses.
The Daily Sentinel this after
noon prints long list of
interviews with prominent busi-
ness men regarding the lease.
Every one endorses it. One of the
largest real estate owners and most
prominent business men said to-day
that the entrance of the Norfolk
and Western permanently into
Winston adds a substantial % per
cent. to every foot of land in the
community. Winston-Salem money
built the road, has carried and pro-
tected it, and now turns it over to
friendly and strong hands.
The passenger coach which runs
on the freight train between here
and Martinsville, Va, caught fire
: from the stove yesterday and wa'
e about completely destroyed by tn
J. flames before they could be extin
: guished. The loss. which is abou
: $4,000, falls On the r. & S. com
j, pany, as the Norfolk and Westerl
d does not take charge of the roa
before tomorrow.

A JUST JUDGE.
The farcical Suit Against Maj. Brown
hnds by Setting Aside the Verdict.

Ends by Setting Aside the Verdict.
HENDERSON, N. c., Feb. %
| Special. Judge Bryan this MORN
ing set the verdict aside in the case
OF w. H. Jenkins against Mai. T.
}. Brown, Of Winston. The Judge
said it was the first verdict he had
ever set aside, out this was so
clearly against the weight of the
evidence that it was his duty to do
SO. This will very probably end
the matter, as it was shown that
there was no i'll will on the part of
Maj. Brown, and that he had no
reference to W. II. Jenkins.

A prominent Republican of this
city was yesterday asked by the
Charlotte Chronicle. who the Re-
publicans would likely nominate
for Governor. He said that the in
dications pointed toward Jeter
Pritchard for while, but he is out

learned that the colored man would

He said that he would not be sur

believed he would make a good

Upon his return from a visit to
Georgia, Senator Coiquitt said: Il
