A CORRESPONDENT of the Marion

A CORRESPONDENT of the Marion
Free Lance, writing about the nomi-
nation in this State for Governor, says:
We believe there is quite a general
sentiment in this immediate section in
favor of Thos. NJ Holt, our present
efficient Governor, as his own sue
Cessor. While we would not for one
moment rob others named for this
high office, of the honors SO justly
theirs, yet a careful review of Gov.
Holt's official course leads US to think
and clam that he should be named !;
he, called to administer our State af-
fairs by the death Of the greatly Ia
mented Fowle, has ably and fairly ad
ministered the laws, and when official
utterance was demanded, it was given
in style SO clear that the most un-
lettered could see that there speaks
a man" Holt, Alexander, Carr and
Sanderlin! How rich is our good old
North Carolina in gubernatorial tim
Der. And with such men as these to
place in our high places is there any
need to go astray after "Third party"
products? We say no! and emphat
ically affirm that such will be the an
swer of the true Democrats Of North
Carolina.

KEEP OFF OF THIS PLAT.
FORM.
fGaStOnia GaZettel

Conservatism is needed in our coun
ellis this year. Extreme men will
want things their way. The more
fairminded and conservative of our
citizens are always the last to show
their hand and make a stand for pru-
dence. There is need that all these
men show their wills in the primaries
soon to meet.
A large number Of our citizens be
long to the Alliance and for three or
four years have been educated in the
same direction. They are further
along in the book than those who have
not yet been permitted to join and
we fear that in their zeal they will
leave US far behind.
In our hearts we wish to do and to
vote for what is best for the farmer.
If he has needed money, it has been
worse with those who had no corn, no
meat, no cotton, no land, and no
money. To that class we belong, and
we would not knowingly vote in any
direction that we did not honestly
think would bring us all-not only
the farmer but all of us-sure financial
relief. But we cannot accept the ST.
Louis platform. The Alliance was
born of the people. The ST. Louis
platform was not born of the people.
1t was born of some other source and
sent to the people for endorsement.
Time was when the people made their
demands. Now the demands are
made at headquarters and word is
sent out "that you must endorse them
and under no condition must there he
any backing down."
We say to every citizen keep off of
the St. Louis platform and every en-
dorsement of the third party. There
can be no two ways about that.
1t is painful to US to see one or two
of our county Alliances pledging them
selves to support no man for Office
who does not stand on the ST. Louis
platform. We do not see how this
course can in anywise better the stu
alton. The Republican party will
not endorse the St. Louis platform,
the Democrats outside of the ALI
ance will not endorse it, Those re-
naming cannot carry their platform
into effect, but in their effort to dc
so may bring Republican rule and
ruin to our State and her noble
people.
The very best advice We know how
to give at this present crisis, we give
to every citizen of our county and
State: Keep off of the St. Loui.

A WOMAN'S GOOD NAME.

THE BULLET FOUND IN HIS
HEAD.
Washington Star.l

It is by no means an unusual thing
to hear Of man having something on
his mind, but when that something is
a leaden bullet firmly imbedded in his
brain and remaining there a number
of years the case becomes rather ex-
traordinary. Yet there died at ST.
Elizabeth's hospital, last Saturday, a
man who, for twenty years, had lived
and thrived with bullet inside of his
skull. The case is regarded among
physicians as most remarkable one,
and the whole story of the affair is de-
cidedly interesting.
During one of the battles with the
Modoc Indians in Oregon, in 1872,
one of the soldiers was struck by a
bullet that entered the arch of the left
eye The man afterward recovered
physically though his mind was never
of the best, and he always stated that
the bullet by which he was wounded
had first struck his gun, and had lost
something of its force. The man later
entered the Soldiers Home in this
city. 1t SO happened, according to
the story as learned by Star reporter,
that one Of the surgeons at the Home,
DR.. Corbin, had served in the same
command with the wounded man in
1872 As a result he was familiar with
the case and watched it with interest
for years. Some time agg the man
developed epileptic fits, and as it was
impossible to properly care for him at
the home he was removed to St. Eliz-
abeth's. He WAS fine specimen of
man from the physical standpoint,
though mentally unsound, and on Sat-
urday he died in one of the spasms
with which he was afflicted.
1t was decided to hold post NOR
tenn examination to determine if pos
sible the seat of his trouble, and this
was done yesterday in the presence OF
DR.. Corbin and a number of promi-
nent Washington physicians. Dr. Black
burne, of the medical staff of the hos
pital, performed the operation. When
the top of the skull was removed it was
at once noticed that The left side OF
the brain was either imperfectly de.
veloped or had dwarfed and shrunk
Slight examination at once discovered
the bullet tha. had torn its way into
the mans head twenty years ago. Ii
was firmly enCased in the tissue Of the
brain itself, having evidently spent SC
much of its force on entering the skull
that when it struck the wall on the
inside it had not force to penetrate il
and had simply dropped where it wa:
found yesterday. What was even more
remarkable, it was found, as the brair
was further studied, that when the bal
entered the head a piece of lead 0
considerable size, three-eights of al
inch or so in circumference, had bro
ken off and had torn through a por
ton of the mans brain and hat
found lodgment in the rear of TIL
skull. That man should have reCov
cred from such a wound is regarded
as most remarkable, and that h
should have lived on for years unde
such circumstances adds all the mon
interest to the case. The case, Will
not altogether without precedent,
certainly out of the ordinary run c

1896, the famous Samuel Hillman,
one of the foremost lawyers in North

protracted drunks, he went to Mr..
Yancey, then editing the Examiner,
of that then beautiful village of some
500 inhabitants, and told him he was
going to move to another Office and
wished to announce the fact when it
was done. Some days after tine ed-
tor met Hillman in front of Hern-

per would soon 60 to press and to

was something in the condition of

counting room of the store and wrote
the announcement. 1t appeared next
day in all the attractions of type thus:

GOVERNOR HOLT IN THE
LEAD,
(ReidSyille Review |

A short time ago there was an i'm
aginary opposition to Gov. Holt sue
ceeding himself. 1t was referred to
by some people as an opposition of
powerful magnitude, but when we
tried to locate it we found it had dis
appeared or not existed at all. The
antagonism of Gov. Holt is not for
midable tact. 1t exists only as fc-
ton in the minds of a few rainbow
chasers.
Why should not the Governor sue
ceed himself?
Is it not a time honored custom in
the history of the Democratic party
for an accidental Governor to succeed
himself?
Has not Gov. Holt endeared HIM
self to North Carolnians by his con-
spicuously honest, safe and able ad-
ministration, and thus in all fairness
and justice entitled himself to the
nomination?

CLEVELAND AND THE
FORCE BILL.
lRichmOnd Times |

The enemies of Mr.. Cleveland in
the Democratic party are constantly
asserting that he never raised his voice
against the Force bill when that infa-
nous piece of revolutionary legislation
was being discussed in the Fifty-first
Congress. 1t is unfortunate that these
gentlemen have such short memories.
On the Sth of January, 1891, while
the Force bill was pending in the
United States Senate, Mr.. Cleveland
made speech in Philadelphia, in
which he used these words:
"When we see our political adver-
saries bent upon the passage of Fed
eral law, with the scarcely denied pur-
pose Of perpetuating partisan suprem-
acy, which invades the State with cleo
ton machinery designed to promote
Federal interference with the rights OF
the people of the localities concerned,
discrediting their honesty and fairness
and justly arousing their jealousy OF
centralized power, we will stubbornly
resist such dangerous and revolu-
tionary scheme in obedience to our
pledges for the support Of the State
governments in all their rights.
OUR sprightly and interesting con-
temporary the Everett Washington
News, calls for new deal politically
that is The throwing aside of the
men whose names have been mos,
prominently mentioned in connection

have something to feel proud of, in
deed, if the Republicans should nom
mate Judge Gresham for the Presi
dency and the Democrats Judge Ful
ler. They are two Of the best, mos
exalted types of men this country ha
produced.
The only event that can ever secur'
the Presidency for Dave Hill would b.
for the Republican party to nominate
Matt Quay. Then the Democrat
would have to fight the devil with fir
in selfdefense. All good citizen
would lose interest in the contest, ant

FATAL FALL FROM A TREsTLE
Precautions Against Small Pox-Pro
ceedings in the Superior
Court

A daring burglary was perpetrated
last evening at 5. H. Keeler's shoe
store, at the rear of the post office, on
Twelfth street, and at least 800 worth
of goods was secured by the burglars.
Deputy Postmaster Wright, who had
been at work in the post office during
the evening, left about 10 O'Clock. As
he went out upon Twelfth street he no.
ticed that the boards nailed over a
broken window in front of the store
room had been removed, and the win
dow was open. Upon examination he
found case of goods with one end in
the open window. The burglars had
evidently been passing goods out of the
window until frightened by Mr.
Wright's approach, when they hastily
dropped everything and ran. AT the
rear end of the building were found
two cases of shoes and number of
boxes and odd pairs of shoes
scattered promiscuously about.
Mr.. Wright gave the alarm and OH
GERS Marshall and Sloan Immediately
commenced search for the criminals.
Mr.. Keeler cannot tell exactly how
many goods are missing, but thinks the
burglary has been going on for some
time. He was preparing to move the
goods into an adjoining store room, and
the burglars probably thought
the opportunities for plunder would be
lessened by the change and were max

KeepinR Out Small Pox

There is no small pox on Bellingham
Bay and the health officers are de-
termined that there shall be none.
Health Officers Kelly and Thomas yes
terday appeared before the county COM
missioners and urged the necessity of
establishing quarantine against infected
points and the appointment of quaran-
tine officers. All children who have
not been vaccinated within five years
will be refused admission to the Fair
haven public schools next Monday
morning. DIR. Thomas will give vac
cination parties at the Fourteenth and
and Larrabee schools tomorrow. All pu-
pills of the Fourteenth street school who
have not been vaccinated will go to
the building with loose sleeves tomor-
row morning and be vaccinated. In
the afternoon the pupils of the Larrabee
building will go to school as usual and
bare their arms.
McNaught, the Seattle jeweler who
escaped from quarantine at Friday
Harbor and came TO this city on the
Evangel Monday evening, is again at
large on the Bay. He left for Seattle
on the Wasco Thursday morning. DIR.
Thomas Immediately wired the health
officer of that city, warning him that
Mcknight was coming. Last evening
the Wasco on her arrival brought back
the suspect with kind message from
the Seattle officials, stating that they
had returned him, to be cared for until
out of quarantine. DIR. Thomas would
not let him land here, but he went
ashore at New Whatcom.
