So the Corbett and Mitchell prize

to the contrary notwithstanding,
and America licked England, as
usual:-that is Corbett, the Ameri-
can champion, knocked Mitchell, the
Englishman, clean over to his corner,
helpless and limp in the third round.
1t was an easy job for the superior of
Sullivan to do. And now, ''let us
have peace"

course of our citizens, friends and
Isympathizers of the bereayed family
in this great sorrow that has been

to the sorrowing hearts of those she

Towering the casket and the grave:

The farmers of this section of the
oountry, as a matter of fact, are bet
ter of, at least in the sense that they
are producing more, they WE less
than they have for years, and more
of what they have made will remain
with them. In the business world
those who have acted upon conserva-
tive lines and have not piled up
large debts are getting along as well
as they do in general. There has
been a great reduction il the exs
penses of many of the people of this
couEtry. In fact, in various ways a
necessary and natural adjustment of
methods of business and life, which
was demanded by the pressure of
facts, has taken place. Surer plans
for the future and safer ground for
the present have been largely laid.
The present is full of hope, and only
the natural flow of events is re-
quired to produce a realization of
every reasonable expectation.
AS we stated in yesterdays ARGUS,
it is the duty of every good citizen
to take a hand in politics, and conse-
quently we give much of u local
space this morning to an expose from
our esteemed contemporary the Ra-
leigh News and Observer, of the sdirty
work" that is being attempted against
Nh. Simmons, Chairman of the State
! Democratic Executive Committee
J and the Democratic nominee for Col.
j~lecter of Revenue for this the Eastern
District of North Carolina. AS the
charlotte Observer says, Mr.. Sim.
mons is "out in open," and his canaol
is an invitation to everybody else tc
come from under cover. As to the
charges filed against him, as stated te
him by Senator Ransom, it is clear
that they originated with the Repub.
lican Congressman Settle. AS to the
statement of Democratic papers thai
they have authority for saying thai
Senator Vance has filed charges, it is
due the Democratic party and the
public that they now give the source
Of their information. We join with
the Raleigh News and Observer and
the Charlotte Observer in calling
upon the Wilmington Messenger. te
show its hand and give it's "author.
ity" for its recent publications.
i These Who Oppose Him.
