Wilmington Star: 1t is the
apathetic, stay-at-home Democratic
vote that will make North Caro-,
olina safe for Cleveland and Carr.
From $4,000 to 10000 OF this class
who did not vote in 1888, will
come out of their holes and vote
the straight Democratic ticket in
November.
Lenoir Topic: In Little River
township Messrs. Deal and Downs

with success. They have in their
employment an experienced miner
from Mitchell, Mr.. Thomas En>

quantities of glass for the mar
ket.
Raleigh Chronicle: 1t is now
said that Messrs. John B. Eaves
and j. G. L. Harris, who represent
the opposing factions of the North
Carolina Republicans, were sum-
moned to New York by the chair
man of the Republican national
committee, perhaps with a view
to adjustment of the long quar-
rel.
Kinston Tree Press: They say
that Third party Kinsey has
changed his politics so many times
that some of his family have sewed
a red string around his collar so
that they may be able to identify
him when he goes home. Look

coat collar.

pulses, warm friendhips, lofty

Charlotte O6server:: The new
Second Presbyterian church is
near enough completion for one to
get good idea of what it will be
when finished. 1t will be a beauS
tiful structure-we suppose that
no other church buildinak in the
State will approach it. The inter-
ior arrangement is very fine and
the finish elegant. The Second
Presbyterians will have good cause
to be proud of their church.
Wilmington Star; Judge Bynum
has got too much gray matter ins
side of his skull to permit himself
to be put up as figurehead by the
Eaves convention to be knocked
down on November. There never
has been much the matter with
Judge Bynum's mental arrange
ment when it comes to being ma
nipulated to give responsibility to
fellows that are in need of it.
Salem Press: The Salem hotel
is one of the old landmarks of the
town. Built in 1772, it was burned
down in 1884, the landlord, Mr..
Meyer, and his family barely es<
Gaping with the liyes; but it was
rebuilt the same year. In 1892 a
double row of sycamore trees was
planted from some distance below
the hotel to the bridge; they were
noble trees and formed a pleasant
walk; gradually they haye died
away.
Durham Globe: How can the
eleven men in Vance county, who
only paid tax on $4,000 worth OF
property in 1882, cry that they are
continually growing poorer, when
these same men in this year of
1892 list over $4,000 We sup
pose this statement is correct, 'Tis
what is on the tax book, given in
by themselves. Yet these very
persons, who have grown over two
hundred per cent richer in ten
wears. are the worst CALAMITY
