SHORE, Sept. 25.-We are glad to
hear that Mrs. DR.. Hollis improving.
The Ripple's suggestion is good
regarding the necessity of a bridge
across the Yadkin river. 1t would
be a great public convenience and
would promote our mail facilities.
Is it positive fact that one of the

Lee Plowman has a dog which is
nearly a year old and only weighs
two pounds and eight ounces. He
asks ten dollars a pound for it.
Isaac WEIGH tells me of peculiar
incident relative to his mothers
hearing. He says for several years
she has been deaf and to her great
surprise some months ago she awoke
one morning and could hear every
thing just as distinctly as she could
when quite young. She could hear
the birds, the chickens, the crickets
and understand every word uttered
by human voices. This lasted only a
few hours and she has heard nothing
since. This is truly a phenomenal case
and is worthy the study of philoso-
piers.
Our weather phrophet, Cupe Shore,
says we should not over stock our
selves with wood as mercury will not
play so low as it did last winter. He
says there will be less ice and fewer
SHOWS than have been in six years.
His predictions in the past have
proven true to the dot.
Joseph Cough is negotiating with
Kerner E. Shore, OF Kernersville,
with view to selling a vast amount
of green fruit. These gentlemen are
dealing extensively this season in
fire apples.
While we have many enterprises
and enterprising men in our village
we are sorely in need of at least two
or three more. We have merchants,
nurseries, wholesale house, black
smith shops, herb dealers, wine man
ufacturers, saw mills, grist mills,
various steam works, carpenters,
mill wright, post Office, cooper, farm
ers, schools, churches, but we yet
need one roller mill, two tobacco
factories, one wagon and buggy
shop and more moneyed men and we
would then compete for thrift and
business with any small town in the
State. YENDIs.

DEATH OF MAYOR KERNER.

The tolling of the city bell, shortly
after O'Clock Monday afternoon,
announced to the citizens of Winston
the sad news that the soul of Mayor
Kerner had taken it's eternal depart
ure from earth. The particulars OF
his death and a sketch of his life, to-
gether with the arrangements for his
funeral, are given elsewhere in our
issue of today.
In the death Of Mayor Kerner, the
city loses a loyal and enterprising
citizen; the Democratic party, a
faithful and active worker; his per-
sonal friends, a staunch and con-
genial companion; and his home, a
fond and devoted husband and
father.
From the gloom that enwraps the
city, because of the death of its
esteemed chief officer, there flows
from tender hearts a stream of sin
cere sympathy for the bereaved
ENTHUSIASTICALLY for the wife and
child, whose hearts are wruDg by
anguish and over whom sorrows
dark clouds hang so thick and heavy.
In the midst of this pail may the
light of heaven break and bring that
priceless solace which the tenderest
human comfort is poWeIless to con-
vey.
Honored as he was at home, Mayor
Kerner's reputation was not con-
fined to his native county. AS an
evidence of the esteem in which he
was held elsewhere, we reproduce the
following testimonial from the Char
lotte Observer:
"The Observer is panied to chron-
icle today the news of the death Of
Mayor R. B. Kerner, of Winston.
Winston has suffered greatly in the
past year in more than one-way and
it is a sad blow for her now to lose
her official head, who has done much
to comfort and sustain his people il
their recent losses by fire and during
the period of financial depression
Mayor Kerner was an able lawyer
and a successful man. He was am
| bilious to the extent that through
! his great energy AID force OF char
acter, he became the head of one 0
the foremost cities in the State, and
had he. lived, there can be no doub
that even. higher honors were il
store for him.

POLITICS AND COLOR.

1t is matter for congratulation
that the colored race has so far ad-
vanced hey ond blind prejudice that
the negro voter is yielding up his
slavery to the Republican party. In
the South he has been doing nearly
all the voting for the Republican
party while practically none of the
plums of office have fallen to his
share. In Virginia the Republican
party has some 155, 900 voters and
only 10000 of these are whites. The
refusual OF the Republican State
Committee to put a ticket ia the
field this year has resulted in ''eman-
cipating the 49,, 900 political slaves
and leaving them to act and speak
for themselves on the 7th of Novem-
ber."
Last year and this are notable
years in the political history of the
colored race. They are breaking
away in large numbers from the
party which claimed that because it
freed them from one kind of slavery
it had a right to subject them to an
other. There is no logic or justice in
that. The colored people now see
that the mortgage so long held by
the Republican party has expired
and should not be renewed. The
more intelligence they acquire, the
less Republicanism is in their souls
and the more free are they TO sup

choice, nominated in their own meet

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

The most important work now
going on in Congress is the consider
alton of tariff by the Ways and
Means committee. A bill has not yet
been prepared, but the subject Is re-
ceiving the careful and patient at
tention of the committee, and In due
time a measure will be formulated
and adopted, which will bring relief
to the consumers OF manufactured
goods. To this work the Democratic
party stands pledged, and in carry
ing it out they will stand united.
The repeal OF all laws of the FEEDER
al Government interfering with the
elections in the States will also be
effected, unless the advocates ofsilver
in the Senate, who hold the balance
of power, should be alienated by
harsh treatment at the hands of the
Administrations thing which does
not now seem probable.
The struggle over the repeal of the
Sherman law, which has been going
on ever since Congress met, will no
doubt result in a compromise such
as has been outlined in the Faulkner
amendment or the Hansbrough
plan. Senator VOORHEES, admits
that there is no earthly means OF
bringing the debate to close and
securing a vote on repeal In the Sen
ate until the silver men consent to 1t;
and hence there can be only com
promise or a failure. 1t now seems
| clear that the administration will
| consent to reasonable compromise
provided the present unit of value
can be retained-that unit being the
gold dollar of 25.S grains of stand
ard gold; and neither the Faulkner
plan nor the Hansbrough plan woulc
change this.

general law on the subject of bank
ruptcy.

Commenting upon the tragedy, the
Roanoke Times says:
sit is hard to place the blame
where it is most deserved. Certain it
is that every step of the authorities
was taken legally. The militia were
ordered out by the mayor and by
the governor of the State to protect
the prisoner.
Cool headed eye witnesses agree
that the attack was commenced and
the first shots fired from the mob,
and sad as the outcome is, there was
no possible alternative.
''It was indeed sad that the limo
cent should have to suffer and under
such conditions. tprinciples were
at stake; the law in a civilized coun-
try must be upheld
God pity Roanoke in her affection,
and grant that this may be her last
experience with mob law.
While we think that the law should
be upheld, we also think tits possible
to make a mistake by the lack OF
GOODNESS and judgment and by too
hasty display of power in it's en-
forcement. This seems to have been
the case in the Roanoke tragedy.
Perhaps if the military had first fired
over the heads of the mob the effect
of dispensing them would have been
accomplished, without the fatal re-
suits that are recorded.
