Delightful German.

Monday evening the german given
at Henderson was an unusual success
owing to the especially attractive visi-
tors and to the two debutants.
one of these last was Y little girl
in blue graceful, picturesque, and
charming, home girl, and one Of
whom Henderson is rightly proud.
The other also claims Henderson as
his native home, happy and handsome
displaying good nature, tact and eXecu-
tive talent, qualities the prophets fore
see and which will enable him to be
as successful as - \ Leader of Men,
as he was director Of the german.
One lovely little lady, visiting the
town, was in white preamble and white
satin, with diamonds and quantities
Of La France roses, - DOst thou like
the picture % Another tall and fair
in pink silk and drapcrics Of tleecy
gauze was as Aurora in the clounds at
dawn.
The dancers were especially happy
IN the chaperones present. Two were
visitors so well known for loneliness Of
face, form and manners.
Among those present were: Robert
Lassiter, chief, with Miss Pattie Lou

Republican Convention.

The Republican county convention
was held in the court house Saturday.
The object was to elect delegates to
the State convention in Raleigh to-day.
The meeting was called to order by
NJ. NJ. Peace, chairman Of the county
executive committee, and J. Y. Eaton
was made temporary secretary. n
permanent organization was effected
by the election Of Lewis Hawkins
chairman and Henry Floyd secretary.
J. Y. Eaton and J. II. Foster were
elected delegates to the State conven-
ton
The meeting was a very orderly one,
there being no business Of nature
and character to call forth opposition
or boisterOusness such as nominations
for county officers. Harry Eaton
seemed to be the leading spirit and ran
the meeting pretty much to suit HIM
self. He made most of the nominations
and had more to say than anybody
else. At his suggestion w. B. Hen
derson was endorsed for Senator from
Warren and Vance.
The chairman, Lewis Hawkins,
made very practical, sensible talk,
but it was not of character to
provoke enthusiasm and the crowd got
impatient and choked him off by their
loud talking and calls for some one
else. There was not single white
man that participated in the meeting.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
r. the Democratic People Of Mort
Carolina

r. the Democratic People Of North
Carolina
Having never been candidate before
YOU, | now announce myself with
hesitation.
] offer myself for the seat in the
United States Senate made vacant by
the death Of Senator Vance. In doing
this. | do nos antagoniZe either OF the
present Senators, but aspire to an
office that neither Of them seeks.
The two great questions involved IN
the Chicago platform were Tariff
Reform and Financial Reform. The
tariff bill just passed does not fully
meet expectations, and | favor such
notifications Of it as will deprive every
trust and combine of any advantage it
allows.
On the tariff, and on most subjects,
| stand with our Democratic President,
and give him a cordial and Jealous
support. / regret not to be able to
agree with him in his financial policy.
Financial reform is Of the mos: pressing
importance, and | favor immediate
action in respect TO that matter.
To many the result Of the first
regular session of our Democratic
Congress has been something Of
disappointment. Disappointments come
to all parties. The Republican party
is at present disappointed at the repeal
of the Mckinley tariff law; at the
enactment Of an income tax; at the
repeal of the law placing our elections
under supervision Of Federal Marshals;
at the continued supremacy of the
Democrats in the Southern States and
their full accession to power at Wash
ington, and at the complete failure Of
Republican plans and purposes.
Our disappointment are but tempo
rary in their nature. They should
make US only the more determined to
press onward until the principles Of the
Democratic party are fully carried into
operation-to the lasting benefit and
advantage Of the people, and to the
glory Of the country. In this cause |
have already spent many years of my
life, and | shall esteem it privilege to
continue my work in the new field and
high station to which l aspire. | there
fore solicit your favor and support,
trusting that you may esteem me
worthy to rep esent you in the Senate
Chamber, and | beg my friends,
wherever they may be, who favor my
election, to be active in urging it.

TALKING GOOD TIMES.

The editor of the Ceaa,to7on Stand
ard is an optimist. He finds good in
everything, and sings song of hope
in the very face of hard times. All
through the dull season he has encour-
aged his readers with cheerful para
graphs of "the good times coming ;"
and now he says they have arrived,
and in order to silence the grumbler,
he adds:
Are we nation of ingrates? VIII
we grumble and murmur at providence
in the face of such goodness? Will
the kicker forever rule this country,
or will the better element assert itself,
and the people turn their faces to 4
hopeful and cheerful future
Let us stop grumbling; let us be
thankful let us be grateful
That is the text from which he
breaches editorial sermons to the
people, and he is preaching on the
right line. "Let the people turn their
faces to a hopeful and a cheerful
future" That is good advice to
people everywhere; there is no room
for the grumbler his popularity is on
the wane he retards business and gets
in the way OF progress he makes the
hopeful dissatisfied, and "stirreth up
strife" he should be relegated to the
rear and forced to remain there.
We need more preachers like the
.StandUa's editor; more optimists to
find the light behind the clouds; to
see the gold in the rainbow and hope
in everything The people generally
are taking brighter view of the
future now; they are working to make
1t brighter and while the grumbler
still survives, his days are numbered.
Hope and hard work are companions,
and the people are in league with both.

The Coming Fashions for Ladies.

This is what is commonly conceded to
be the most difficult epoch OF the year in
the realms OF fashion, for, while all modes
seem to be in an undecided state, yet
every body is most anxious to learn
what turn the new fashions will take since
all those interested on this subject must
be preparing for the coming seasOn-the
busiest of the year. In their eagerness
to secure novel ideas many dressmakers
cross the ocean, a still greater number
turn their eyes toward New York, while
the majority are anXiOusly inquiring
from every possible quarter in order to
obtain the much desired information
Now it is undoubtedly true that the
surest, safest, most convenient and prac-
tical way of attaining this end is to be-
come subscriber of a substantial fash
ion magazine, whose information is re-
liable and which offers the greatest va
| riety of subjects. Such magazine-or
rather magazines-are the well known

SPEAKER CRISP,S WORDS.

Speaker Charles f. Crisp in his
speech in Atlanta, concluded in the
following significant and meaning
terms:
"The Democratic party enters
upon its contest with republicanism
and every other temporary issue
which may present itself, with cour-
age and confidence. While we have
not done all we hoped to do we have
done more in the past year to res
dress the wrongs of the people; we
have done more for their relief, than
was ever done by any party in the
same length of time in any country
under the sun. These are bold
words, and yet l hold myself ready
at all times to defend them. Conn
ing into power at time OF panic
when business was at a standstill,
when labor was unemployed, when
our treasury was empty, with cour-
age and fidelity we entered upon a
struggle with the enemies of the
people. We emerged from that
struggle victorious in this:
"We have repealed the Mckinley
law.
eve have greatly reduced taxa
ton.
"We have made living cheaper.
eve have made all money taxa,
BILE.
"We have taxed surplus incomes.
owe have restored freedom of
elections.
"We have reduced public ex,
penditures, and we have declared
undying hostility to all trusts and
monopolies, organized for the ops
preston of the people. On these
foundations we build our house;
on these issues we 60 before the
people. For them we have fought

the faith" and of them we have no

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, the female
leader of the populists in Kansas,
continues to denounce Gov. Level.
len, the populist governor and nomi-
nee for reelection in that state.
Her latest denunciation of him is
for attending court as witness and
riding on tree pass and drawing
mileage at ten cents per mile for
going to and returning from court,
while she was refused her mileage,
as she claims, because she rode on
a pass also, and for the additional
reason that she had denounced
Jewellers administration as the
most corrupt Kansas ever had.

BLACK SNAKE IN THE BED.

Charlotte News.
In Concord there is young man
who has for some nights past slept
on bed the mattress of which con-
tanned a nest of black snakes. The
house is located in Allison's grove,
and it was in room on the second
floor that the snakes nest was dis<
covered. 1t came about this way :
Last Wednesday morning one of the
young ladies of the household went
into her brothers room on some
mission, and was terrified to see @
black snake coiIed up on the bed. She
fed, screaming from the room, and
slammed the door after her. A par
ty of boys, armed with sticks, Iinvad>
ed the room and killed the snake.
In the melee the mattress was con-
siderably jumbled, and from a hole
in its side rsme another black snake.
This one was killed and just then
another black snake wriggled from
the mattress and it was killed. In
vestigation showed that female
black snake had brought forth a
brood in the crack of the chimney
by the hearth and she and some of
her family had taken ur quarters in
the mattress of the bed in the room.
The young man had been sleeping
with them as companions for per
haps a week or more.
