NORTH CLINTON
Mr.. +. Z. Cooper, chairman of
the Executive Committee of this
township. told a member of the
Executive Committee n few
weeks since that the Democrats
did not want any one in the par
ty who would not vote for Mr..
Cleveland and the whole ticket
straight. He said the Demo
Gratis in this county would allow
such a Imam TO be nominated on
tho county ticket, and further,
that no one who voted for John
A. Beaman two years ago could
be put on the ticket. He said
that that movement was irregu-
lar and undemocratic. Nov,
Mr.. Editor, we see that John A.
Bedman, the independent bols-
ter, was nominated by the
Straightouts and on the same
ticket with Mr.. Cooper. How
men do change!

We have read come things in
your paper from the different
township seemed very strange,
But / think can give yoI some
thing equally as strange from
Lisbon, in oar river. Between
sunset and dark every night
from the Goth of August 10 the
10th Of September, there is a
fly, something like candle fly
about half or inch long as large
as q common broom straw, rise
up from the bottom of the river
and as soon as they get to the
top Of the water they shed of
a thin skin and fly up stream
like swarm of bees, and il
about I'LL hour they give out anl
fall back in the river and foa
down as thick as hops, then tht
fish are made happy. They be
: gin to jump and lap them il
from all parts Of the river
, They keep AS much fuss lapins
flies as a big drove Of hogs d.
eating corn.
=, Mr.. r. R. Mlnn's family, frou
! Chatham, are visiting friend
in Sampson.
p Look out, for a wrecked Car
is OH the track, but his ergin
is too light for the occasion
when the People' s party engin
> gets after him the Carr will
leave the track. THIS Carr VII
get left as bad as the othe
Kerr. D. H
The Peoples Party is on /;
boom, and every body hurrahins
for Weaver, but a few of th'
Straig htout Democrats. | hea
that "Senator" John A. Beamar
cane up to the Democ1 attic pri
mary and organized a Cleveland
club. Cleveland is a dead duel
J in North Carolina, and there il
not enough straightouts in it t.
eat him. We think it would bt
wise Of them to appoint a me
mortal committee to draw ut
resolutions for the dead party
The Sampson Dem ocrat is the
biggest burst [ ever saw. 1t il
as wanting in Democracy as it:

| Hurrah for Weaver and Fields
| is the salutation from every
quarter of this section.
Some Of our straightouts make
sectarianism lectioneering que
ton. Now why don't they uss
that mallet for Mr.. Fields? He
is a Baptist. w aver is Meth
odist and Fields is a Baptist.
With Methodist fire and Baptist
water, we expect to burL up and
cool the ashes of corruption this
fall. X
