money is paid for any purpose without
their sanction. No speakers of any
party are paid that way. The charge

Some newspaper man startedthe
report that a Lawrence girl kneads
bread with her gloves on, and another
practical pencil pusher adds: "Well
SO do we. We also need it with our
shoes on, with III pants on, and with
our clothes on. We need it doggone
bad, and if our delinquents would pay
up, we would buy a whole bakershop."
~ As will be seen in another column
Col. T. B. Long tenders his resignation
as candidate for Auditor on the Peo-
pies party ticket. Capt. E. G. Butler,
of Vance county, a first class man and
Christian gentleman, has accepted the
nomination rendered by the Executive
Committee. A better selection could
not have been made. He will be the
next Auditor of>the State.
~ By reference to the Republican
platform of 1888, found in this issue.
you will find this: 1.-The Republican
party is in favor of the use of both gold
and silver as money, and condemn the
policy of the Democratic administra-
ton in its efforts to demonetize sill
YER" Great Ceasarl We had heard
it charged all the time that the Repub-
licans demonetized silver in 1878. How
is this9 Where are we at?"
~ Alabama has just had the great
est convention in it's history. Twenty
five hundred jealous men met at Bir-
mingham and combined all the ele-
ments of opposition to Bourbonism.
Kolb men, Alliancemen, Peoples party
men have made a ticket that will
sweep Alabama like a whirlwind.
Even Congressman Oates admits that
the outlook is very gloomy for the
B~ourbons, says the Tacoma San.
~ The Scotland Neck Democrat
t stimates the crowd that heard Weaver
at Rocky Mount at $500. Other
Democratic authorities estimated it It
1000. The editor of the Democrat and
others seem to disagree. The editor of
that paper should get up another arti
Gle about Weaver making fun of the
w~ell-sweeps in this State. He is a sue
cess at that, but as an estimator" he
gets away ahead of his friends, 500.
~ money is that which passes
freely from hand to hand in the dis
charge of debts and full payment for
commodities. Money is always a me
dunn, an intermediate thing; a means,
not an end. Men take it, not for it's
own sake, but for what it viii bring
them; they hold it not to enjoy ibsbut
to be ready for the moment when they
shall part with it to obtain that which
they will enjoy."-PreSident F. a.
Walker.
~ A influential colored lawyer in
Tennessee has come out in support of
the Democratic ticket as noted else
where, This is another blow for the
Republican party, says the Winston
Sentinel. A blow at the Republican
party, did . on sayG Well, what about
negro supremacy9 So many negroes
are going over to the Democrats as to
cause many to be alarmed. "Down
wi, negro supremacy "-in the Demo
cratic party.
~ We pity the man who honestly
believes that the present tariff laws
protect labor, and we cannot command
language severe enough to express our
contempt for those who seek to lead
labor astray upon this point when they
must know that they are downright
liars. They are certainly dishonorable
enough and mean enough to steal the
silver quarters from off the eyes of a
dead man, and then kick the body be-
cause the quarters were not five dollar
gold pieces. - Chicago Express.
The Brooklyn, N. Y, Times says:
eve have no sympathy with General
Viewers doctrines, but we hasten to
assure him that up here in New York,
if he does not get any Electoral votes
he can at least depend upon a cour
teous hearing, and that there is not, in
the most disreputable of Northern city
slums, a mob so lost to the instincts of
manhood as to make such an assault
on a lady. The Macon mob has COW
cred Georgia with ineffable and in
eradicable disgrace. 1t has exploded
the tradition of Georgian chivalry."
