NORTH CAROLINA'S STICKING
QUALITIES.

We see it stated that the President
says the North Carolinians bother him
so much for office he is almost beside
himself He says they are 50 persistent
and sticketh closer than 4 brother.
Why, to be sure, Mr.. President, this is
one of our characteristics. We stuck
SO close to Lord CORVALLIS on his
march through the State, his troops
did not have time to sleep Or change
their linen. We stuck to the Union
as long as twas possible, and we stuck
to the Confederacy until all others
had about quit it. We stuck to our
Federal friends at Big Bethel until they
turned their backs upon US; we stuck
to those accommodating fellows, Gems.
Shields, Banks and others until we
clothed ourselves and made them
naked we stuck at Richmond until
that clever gentleman and trained
soldier, Gen. Mcclellan, was sucked
dry; we stuck in the trenches at
Petersburg until all Of our troops had
been withdrawn. And at fatal Apo
mattoX we were far in front and stuck
there until Gen. Lee sent US word to
come back, and for God sake "quit
killing folks as all the rest Of the
army had ceased firing six hours
before. And when Peace once more
blessed this fair land of ours, we came
back and went to work for our homes
and the Democratic party. And at
this good work we are still sticking,
and propose to stick, and Dot to be
stuck. And we are going to stick to
you, Mr.. Cleveland, because we believe
you to be an honest man and a
patriot. We are going to help you in
all your good works, believing that
you are actuated by no selfish motives,
but work for the good of our common
and honored country. Oh, yes, we
are " stickers,' and a fS for the man
who can't or won't tick.-Warrcnton

TERRIBLELOSS OF LIFE.
a British War Vessel Sinks and
Over 400 Persons Drowned.

The Victoria, British war vessel,
was sunk on the 22nd inst. and more
than 400 lives were lost. The accident
was the result Of collision between
the Victoria with her sister flag ship
the Camperdo,rn. The two ships were
mancuyering off Tripoli, a seaport
town on the eastern Mediterranean
coast. The CampcrdoacR ran into the
Victoria, tearing a great hole in her
side, and she went down in fifteen
minutes in eighteen fathoms Of water.
The loss Of life was not less than
400 Of the officers and crew of the Vie
toria who went down with their ship.
The Victoria was twin screw bat
tie ship Of 10,470 tons and 1900
horsepower. She mounted fifteen
guns. The C0mperdo1cR is also first
class twin screw battle ship. She is
Of 10, 600 tons and IL, 800 horsepower.
and carries ten guns. Admiral Sir
George TyrOn was cammandcr-in-chicf
OF the Mediterranean station. He was
made yice-admiral August Goth. 1891.
He, among others, is reported lost.
AS soon as the officers Of the Victoria
saw there was danger of their ship
laundering orders We're given to close
the collision buIIlheads, in order to
keep the water in the compartment
into which the CGmperdorn had showed
her ram. The sailors tried to obey
the order but the ship was making
water too fast to allow of closing the
bulkheads, and while the men were
still trying to shut them the vessel
with her immense guns and heavy top
hammer, turned over and carried them
down.
Later reports show that there were
us persons on the i'll fated I-ictoria.
and it is feared that 40 persisted.

THE SOUTH SHOULD BE THANK
Full.

The people of the South are in a
position to congratulate themselves on
the conspicuously fortunate condition
of their section. The worst days of
depression have been passed. The
next year promises to be the beginning
of an era of prosperity throughout the
southern states. From every state
come reports of material improvements
III all branches of business. Factories
are being established and new build
ings are being erected in almost every
town and hamlet; merchants are in
creasing their stocks and placing more
statesmen on the road the farmers are
reaping an abundant harvest, and the
railroads are putting on more cars and
otherwise extending their transporta-
ton facilities with which to haul the
crops to market. The depression of
the past two seasons has probably been
a blessing in disguise to the South. 1t
has been a costly lesson to many, but
it has taught the people not to monkey
with jack-o'lantern schemes. The
farmers have been convinced by a
bitter experience that their only
salvation lies in diversified crops, while
business men have learned that hooms
are only bubbles, and the only sure
road to success is to observe the
natural laws of trade.-Memphis Com

Cows MIXED bv Fish

New HOPE, Pa. June 21.-The
discovery that a German carp drinks
milk has ayerted what threatened to be
wholesome suits for theft. Michael
Herman, for several months. or ever
since the weather grew warm. has no.
ticed that his blooded cows return from
their luxuriant pastures with full
stomaches and empty udders. There
was q suspicion that the COWS had been
MIXED by families who reside in the
neighborhood. This thing continued.
and Nj. Tierman's dairy product
reached zero. He watched his cows.
but could not discover the milk robbers.
Yesterday he had startling reveal
ton. He was standing by the mill
race which runs through his farm. He
saw his favorite COW enjoying herself
in the water. which touched her body.
After a prolonged bath. the bovine
emerged from the stream. Clin@ing
to the animals udder was carp that
weighed about Is pounds. 1t had
drank every ounce Of the cows milk.
Mr.. Herman says that the cows have
regularly gone to the mill race TO keep
cool, and the fish have as diligently
extracted their milk.

His thoughts were apparently too much
absorbed with his own plans to admit
OF his paying proper attention to orders
and directions of his chief.
Yet upon their prompt and accurate
execution depended the success OF Lee >

Lcngstreet WIS not only responsible
for the fact that his own wing attacked
SO late, that almost the whole Federal
army was concentrated before the stroke
was delivered, but also for the fact that
he was not properly supported when the

the army detailed to cooperate with

That Longstrcet was brilliant leader

be no doubt, but he seems not to have
been able-perhaps from popularity

heartily to the views of his great chief"

And it is to such appeals made by

Mr.. JEROME DowD, lately elected a
professor in Trinity College, has sold
the Mecklenburg Times to his cousin,
Mr., w. c. Dowti, business manager
of the Observer. The press of the
State loses very valuable member in
the retirement of the former, but active
journalism has an honorable and de-
sirable acquisition in the more direct
Identification with it of the gentleman
last named. To fine native abilities
he adds the advantages of higher
education, and to these, business
experiences and knowledge of men.
The Observer parts with him with the
utmost reluctance, while it reioices, at
the same time, that wider field of
usefulness opens out before him.
There is no degree of prosperity that
it does not wish for him. That he
will sustain himself in the new duties
he is to assume, it knows.-Charlotte

1t must be very gratifying to the

Senator Ransom is our beau-ideal
Of a Senator. He has long represen-

with great honor to himself as well as
the State. We had the honor to fol-
low his feather for short while dur
ing the late war, and it was then that
we learned to love him and it has
grown with our growth and strength
ened with our strength. Our good
old State never produced a Drawer or
trucr man than Matt w. Ransom. He
will represent North Carolina in the
Senate just so long as he desires to.
He could not be improved upon and

ist. We are proud Of our Senators,

old North State, and our people love
them.

HON. ". K. HENRY.
A correspondent writing

A correspondent writing to the
Raleigh Meas and Obsfr9cr, says:
Under present conditions Of party
organization it indispensable to the
attainment Of the policies Of the
government, 10 the enactment and
execution Of good laws, and to the
election of officers oragents to transact
the business of the people as a State
that proper public servants should be
chosen. As may be the strength and
character of the individuals who COM
pose the organization, SO will be the
power and usefulness of The party
itself, and the more certain the victory
over the opposing thought. Then
when political success comes, and the
Offices Of government are to be filled,
the most suitable men in the party
who aspire to public preierment ought
to be selected, and Of those most
suitable, the Just rule surely must be
prefermen. of such as have rendered
service the most active and valuable.
If love Of country, and true pride in
its government be uppermost, gentle
men ought to be selected for honorable
official position who have prepared
themselves for the public service by
the study Of questions Of government
and SO much the better if they be men
Of culture and accomplishment.
Among North Carolinians who
aspire to fill honorable positions i'll the
service of the government, Mr.. ". r.
Henry is entitled TO stand in the very
front rank.
He made, in the opinion Of many
competent to judge, in the last contest,
the ablest and most brilliant canvass
among all Of his compeer5. His
speeches were thoroughly prepared,
before the commencement OF the
campaign, and for more than three
months, they were delivered in nearly
every section Of the State, with great
power and effect. They were specially
effective in the first and second
districts. Mr.. Henry is powerful on
the hastings, eloquent before literary
bodies, and of acknowledged business
capacity. He is most accomplished
in The classics and in English literature,
in every sense OF the term, a re ined
gentleman, and an ardent, solid and
Incorporating Democrat. lie would
adorn the position to which he aspires,
and the people of the State earnestly
desire to see him honored. No gentle
man has filed more numerous and
more powerful recommendations in
Washington. \ mistake will be made
if his services so unrewarded, his
loyalty unrecognized and his fidelity
discouraged, and his very numerous
friends throughout the State would be
bitterly disappointed. JUsrIcE.
