Hard to Believe.

A correspondent writes these two
items to the Wilkesboro Chronicle
from Alexander county:
The oldest man In Brushy Mountain
township is James Cheatham. He
was born July 10Th, 1894, and does his
own milling and can plow. He has a
mule thirty years old, and no one is
allowed to ride on his back except bis
old master.
Men are getting to be brave in
Alexander. One fellow picked up a
snake and bit its head of. He spit it
out and walked on as usual, except 1t
made him q little sick.

Never Been There Before
From the WIlkesboro Ch onicle.
Merely Billings, of Walnut Grove
township, is peculiar kind of
human being, and has distinction
attached to him few men can claim at
this day and time. He was in town
Saturday. He was brought here by
revenue officer, charged with blockad
ing "mountain dew"
Billings has lived In Wilkes over 40
years, within 15 or 20 miles of Wilkes
boro, but Saturday was the first time
he ever put his feet inside the county
seat of the great Estate of Wilkes"
Not only this, but it was the first
time he had been in town of any
kind, except he did pass through the
city of sparta one rainy night when it
was impossible to see his hand before
him. He said we had mighty heap
of people and houses scattered around
here mighty close together.

Republicans Figuring on once.
From the Wilkesbore Chronicle.l

The Republicans are so hopeful that
they can't hardly wait till next cleo

and appointing their officers for two
or three years hence. They have al
ready elected Mckinley President, and
either George Brown or Henry Cowles
have been appointed collector and
moved the office TO Statesyille, and al
most every Republican who can write
his name has a revenue Office at a Dig
salary, and other offices to supply ey-
erybody else are being manufactured

The People Approve.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t seems as If almost the entire
body of the people have signified
their approval of the action Of the
President of the United States in
taking vigorous measures to enforce
the laws. Party spirit has subsided,
party lines were for the time almost
obliterated and factional differences
forgotten. In the presence of danger
to the country all the people, except
the comparatively small body of law.
less men and their sympathizers, are
patriotic Americans. 1t is due to the
Republican press of the country to
say that their support of the Presi-
dent In this emergency has been as
strong and as unqualified as that of
the papers of the Presidents own
party.
But perhaps the most agreeable
feature of the incident has been the
unanimous sentiment of the South
in favor OF upholding and enforcing
the federal authority. Senator
Daniel, of Virginia, who offered the
resolution of appreciation in the Sem
ate, has not been in entire political
sympathy with the President, but
that did not deter him from his pa
triotic purpose. The speech upon
that resolution by Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, a distinguished COnfeder-
ate general, was one of the finest
speeches which have been heard in
the Senate chamber for many wears.

Further developments tend to
strengthen the belief of President
Cleveland that the labor troubles IN
the Vest are nearly ended.

REDUCING THE PENSION ROLLS.
Secretary Smith Furnishes Some Inter-
esting Information

WASHINGTON, July 11.-In April
the Senate adopted resolution di-
recting the Secretary of the Interior
to inform the Senate of the number
of pensioners whose pensions had been
suspended or Cancelled since March 4,
1893; the number of such pensioners
whose pensions had been restored to
the rate they were drawing when sus-
pended; the number and names of
those whose pensions had been re-
duced. and the cause of the reductions;
the number of those who had been
fully restored to the rolls, and the
names and causes of suspension of
those who had, been entirely sus-
pended.
Secretary Smith has just submitted
comprehensive reply, covering the
period between March 4, 1893, and
May TO-. 1894. OF invalid pensioners
of the civil war, 1884 were reinstated
at the old rates, 273 are still under
suspension, 3,0l4 were reduced, and
2,4l1 were dropped. There were 116
widows pensions restored, while 24O
OF this class were dropped. The total
number OF persons whose pensions
were suspended and resumed was
$500. There were 326 pensioners on
May 10 who were still under suspen-
sion.
These figures are instructive when
properly applied. For instance. the
number of pensioners reduced and
dropped from the rolls is equivalent
to one and half pensioners to every
county in the United States. The
number dropped and restored repre-
sents nearly a hundredth OF the entire
pension list. The figures standing for
the reductions are significant when
compared with 100000, the sum
OF the pension roster. Commissioners
of Pensions Lochren has furnished in
connection with this report the names
and addresses of every pensioner
affected by the Senate resolution.

NEW SILVER PARTY.
How the Party Is to Be
Organized
Cameron is to Amalgamate the
WOrkingmen,
While Senator Jones Combines
the Westerners.
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Populists and Republicans Ex-
pected to Unite to Man.

WASHINGTON. Nov 27-The story
which is current ia the west that Senator
Jones of Nevada and Senator Don cam
eron Of Pennsylvania are proceeding to
the organization Of new political par
ty, is causing considerable talk among
politicians ia Washington 1t is said
that the plan aud scope Of the new par
tys as understood by the politicians. re-
veals the possibility OF an organization Of
considerable strength. which, while not
powerful enough to pose as a really dan
gerous rival TO the old parties. would
prove an influential element in the next
Campaign 10 the extent Of drawing from
the Democratic AMI Republican follow
ing TO degree which might weaken
them.
The plan is a com bination enterprise,
a political partnership with two branches
of work to be respectively assumed by
the partners, each Of whom is to raise
faction TO be united under one banner,
and, by voting for each others Interests.
to gain their respective objects. Ia short.
it is 10 be union of the labor classes Of
the east and the free silver men of the
south and west. with acquisitions from
the great mass of people who may be
dissatisfied with the Democrats and Re
publicans. and vet not ready to endorse
the visionary schemes of the POpulists.
The work which il is said will fall to
sir. Cameron's lot ia this new
undertaking. will be the amalgama-
ton Of the labor classes All that is
asked from labor IN return for the advan-
tages thus offered is the support Of the
free silver demands of another large poT-
ton of the country, situated like labor,
unable e. accomplish what il wants
alone bat which can enforce its needs by
union.
Senator Jones's task is explained to be
the enrolment Of the west and south into
inc, promising them free silver aud an
extended currency in exchange for their
support of the interests Of the eastern
wing Of the new party. Ia the west it is
claimed that Senator Jones viii have two
fruitful fields from " hich to recruit his
ranks There will be the original free
silver men, who want the up
holding Of the white metal against
all corners and under whatever con-
ditions may be necessary. These viii
form the nucleus Of his faction. Then
he will draw from the Republican party,
it IS claimed, those men who were Popu-
lists for while, held to that organization
by the free silver thread, and who, on
account Of the vagaries of their new
love, were finally compelled to divorce
her at the last election and go to the Re-
Eublicans.
In the south it is said. the new party
expects to muster a force with the cry of
more money aud fair elections 1t is be-
lieved by the promoters Of the scheme
that this will ca pture the PopuIists body
and soul and swing into line the kolbites
Of Alabama and the Republicans of Viz
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,
who want honest elections.

Electric Railroad company, is something
of genius az we'll as railroad man lie
has patented a goodly number Of his own
inventions. some Of which have become
popular
The latest invention Of Mr. Erb's is a
trolley wheel 1t Is the little grooyed
brass contriyance that runs along under
the trolley wire and extracts the electric
current from it. Mr. Erb has had a good
deal Of trouble with these wheels. Some
that he has used here have worn out in a
single day, others in two or three DAYS,
While some will last week or two
These wheels cost 81 each by wholesale.
The old style wheel is a single piece;
BIr. Erb's invention IS provided with
brass discs. When either disc becomes
badly worn it is simply replaced by a
new one and the wheel is as good as new
again. The discs can be manufactured
and placed on the market al 10 cents
each, aud there is good money in them
at that price. The new wheel is very
simple aud can be taken apart and put
together in a lew seconds.
Dir. Erb went to Chicago last night,
