Atlanta Constitution: "Mr. Carlisle was
opposed to the nomination of Mr. Cleve-
land simply because he thought that his
nomination would defeat the party as 1t
had defeated it in 1888. Thousands of
Democrats shared this belief and acted
accordingly, and, though they may have
formed an 'inconsiderable element, they
were. and are, as earnest and as sincere
in their Democracy as those who had a
larger, confidence in the ability of Mr..
Cleveland to carry the country. No one
was quicker to recognize this fact than
Mr.. Cleveland, and one O his first utter
ances after his election was to the effect
that he had no grudgeo against those
who had seen proper to oppose his nomi-
nation. The first appointment he
announced was that of Mr.. Carlisle, who
had opposed him. A smaller man than
Mr.. Cleveland might undertake to dis
play prejudice against those who thought
that his nomination might not be the
best thing for the party to do. A mar
row-m;nded- man would not hesitate to
display his littleness, but Mr.. Cleveland
has not only refused te make such dis
play-he has gone to the extreme OF
magnanimity, and has. apparently for
gottesss at any Democrats opposed his
nomination"

His Perpetual Motion Story.
rGreenville News, March l4.l

An ingenious story was told in the de-
Tense of G. T. Bauehman, tried and con-
victed of counterfeiting in the United
States Court yesterday and sentenced to
three years in the Columbus, Ohio, peni-
Tertiary, with fine OF $500 Baushman
is from Mccormick, in Abbeville county,
and was found guilty on eight counts.
The money he manufactured was made
with Babbitt metal and consisted Of
nickels, quarters, half dollars and dollars.
The story of the dcrense is about as fol-
lows: Baughman claimed that he had
invented a machine, which, had it ever
been completed, was intended to accom-
plish the heretofore impossible feat OF
perpetual motion. The counterfeit
money was not intended for circulation
but was to be used in the invention. BY
experiments he had ascertained that
silver dollar was the exact size required
for certain wheels, and the smaller money
was to be used for weights and other
purposes. Finding the required size OF
these wheels the alleged inventor made
mould of Babbitt metal and manufac-
tured eleven dollars from the same ma
terial which were to be serrated with
file and used as part of this wonderful
machine. Before its completion the au-
thorities pounced down upon him, and
after his preliminary hearing before the
United States Commissioner, in Ander-
son, he became convinced that the inven-
ton wasn't practical and destroyed it
didn't save piece Of it to bring into
court as means of proving that this
brilliant idea was anything but fantas-
tic story and myth, originating in the
mind Of the clever counterfeiter as a
loophole through which to crawl out OF a

A serious accident occurred to Frs
kine's new college building, at Due West,
last Friday evening. A loud crash was
heard about dark by the people in the
vicinity. On going TO the college it was
found that considerable portion of the
building, including the auditorium and
gymnasium, was in ruins. II is supposed
that the disaster resulted from the ex-
cess;ve weight of brick fire wall that
the pillars supported above. If the
crash had come an hour or two earlier
the painters and workmen. who had Fast
left. might have been buried in the ruins
The loss is estimated at 5000.

A QUEER CONVENTION.

A little handful of citizens, having
been notified by an individual who
took it upon himself to call conven-
ton without authority or public
notice, met at the Court House yes
terday evening to nominate CouE-
cilmen for the town of Edenton. On
counting the number present it was
soon ascerta;ned that the lat ward
had two representatives, the 2ed had
three, tue sra ouly one and lie sent
for while the 4th ward had four, one
of whom was Republican.
The convention was called to order
and after considerable discussion a
committee Of one from each ward WAS
selected to retire to secret quarters
and nominate candidate from each
ward. This was done and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were nominated:
First Ward-Jno. c. Bond,
Second s. F. A. White,
Third {" -Dr.J. II. Mcmillan
Fourth L" -Theo. Ralph.
No nomination made for Town
Treasure.
The convention then adjourned.
The gentlemen nominated are nll
right. They are good men, men Of
property, men OF standing, and zen
who will make most excellent Board
of Councilmen, two of whom are now
on the present Board. But we pro-
test aga ,nst the manner ia which this
convention was ealled-withOut an
public notice and without the endorse
ment or permission Of any Of the Elk
ecutive Committees of the various
Wards.
Tue public is not satisfied and
don't propose to be lashed into bar
ness.
We fear those who want to fill the
Office of Mayor, Constable and othsr
places, will get set back.
Such work will not do.
