Commenting on the story published
in this paper last week about the whip
ping of an unfortunate woman who is
serving a term on the Buncombe
county chain gang, the High Point
Enterprise says: 1.-The county road law
is a good one but if it is to be abused a
righteous and indignant people will
rise in their might and wipe it from
the statute books. We want good
roads but don't want them built of the
blood and tears of either man or beast"

GAINS VS.. LOSSES.

Our Democratic friends have tried to
make it appear that they r gaining
votes in this State and elsewhere. So
far they have only named eight men
in this State who have deserted the
Peoples party, and several of these
named have little or no influence. Not
one of them have more than a neigh
borhood reputation. The same is true
of the country at large. On the other
hand the Peoples party has gained
tens of thousands of voters, as the cleo
tions held already show. Hundreds of
these are men of county and State in
fuence, while dozens of them are men
of national reputation, men Of great
ability and character. We will men
ton a few, each having a national
reputation, all having held high posi-
tions of honor and trust in both State
and nation. We could go back twelve
months and name many more, but will
only include those coming over in the
past 80 days:
Hon. W. Fl. benson, Democratic
member of Congress from the Ssh dis
trict in Alabama, joined the Peoples
party about six weeks ago.. Has been
on the stump since and will be re-
elected by the Peoples party.
Judge James K Hines, of Georgia,
Democrat-was nominated by the PEG
pies party for Governor SOC after he
announced his detection from the Demo
cratic party and came near carrying
the State, or perhaps did carry it.
Hon. S. Maxwell, Judge of Supreme
Court, Nebraska, R publican, Joined
the Peoples party seven weeks ago.
Elk Senator Fl. B. Kelly, of Kansas,
Republican, joined the Peoples party
seven weeks ago.
Hon. J. Fl. Reagans, Democratic
candidate for Governor, Texas with
drew from the contest because he
couldn't stomach the platform, and, it
is believed, will vote the Peoples party
ticket on the 9th of November, though
he has not so announced.
Hon. John z. White, a prominent
Democrat of Chicago, an advanced re.
former, joined the Peoples party six
weeks ago, and has since been nomi-
mated for Congress.
Senator John P. Jones, Republican,
who has been in the U. S. Senate from
Nevada for several years, and who has
made a worldwide reputation, having
been on a numbe: of the most import
ant committees, joined the Peoples
party five weeks ago.
President Eugene V. D3bs, of the
American Railway Union, Democrat,
not only Joined the Peoples party, but
brings more than 70, 1000 voters with
him.
Henry D. Lloyd, a wealthy and promi
nent Democrat, Chicago, Joined the
Peoples party three weeks ago.
Elk Senator and ex Judge Lyman
Trumbull, Democrat, of Chicago, joined
the Peoples party two weeks ago.
A member Of the Ohio Democratic
State Executive Committee and the
Chairman of the Colorado State Repub-
lican Executive Committee, whose
names we do not recall, are recent re-
cruits.
In addition, we might name dozens
of editors, some of them influential,
and hundreds of others of more or less
prominence. The election returns from
the States where elections have not
been held, will tell the balance of the
story. Let the great work go on.

NOTES.

You cannot vote unless you are prop
erly registered. See your township
chairman for full instructions.
To be able to vote in the coming cleo
ton you must register according to the
Law before the books close, which is at
noon on the 9th of October-neXt Sat
urday.
The Democrats seem to be able to tell
why you should not vote the co opera
ton ticket, but can give no tangible
excuse for voting their ticket, unless it
is to get cheap cotton.
No matter how many times you have
registered and voted in the past, see
that your full name is On the books,
and everything else required to make
a legal registration this time.
In his efforts to play Gar, President
Cleveland made a sorry spectacle Of
himself. The American people have
repudiated his royal highness and the
President is about as unpopular as his
mate, Benedict Arnold,
Ransom and every other Senator and
Congressman who voted to demonetize
silver are on par with Benedict Arnold,
the arch traitor. Be careful who you
vote for. You may elect members of
the legislature who will return Ransom.
The Lynchburg, Va, AdUance, a
strong Democratic paper, has taken
down the name of the Democratic
nominee for Congress in the Sixth dis
trict and puts the name Of Hon. 0. Q.
Rucker, the Peoples party nominee, in
it's place.
General advertises who wish to know
where to advertise, and how to get the
best results, will do we'll to send 2 cent
stamp to Lord & Thomas, Chicago, Ill,
for a copy of ga Golden Harvest" a
neat little publication for the use of adj
vertisers.
Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, Of
Maine, created a little ripple of sur,
prise by declaring in a speech at the
Michigan University, that further tariff
agitation vas not needed this fall. We
are not astonished. The Democratic
party having become a high tariff
party it is natural for the Republicans
to either keep quiet or yell for tariff
reform.
Under the head of The Friend of
Trusts" read our expose of the greatest
attempt at legislative duplicity ever
attempted. This law(O has never been
made public before in a newspaper and
ought to be published and commented
upon by the press from Maine to Cali
fornia, regardless of party. Only pc
litical sneaks will attempt to deceive
the public in this or a similar manner.
Bandits and cut threats are above such
work.
The Concord Times has inspected a
sweet potato raised in that community
which, the Times says, is shaped ex-
actly like a human being. We want
to bet one free coinage argument to
two gold bug arguments that this potato
votes the Democratic ticket on the 9Th
of November. They will vote any help
less thing they car find in the shape of
a man. Real men won't vote for five
cont cotton and thirty five cent wheat
any longer.

"Bill Arp" says the political fight in
Georgia this year was a "dog-fall,"
neither party having anything to brag
about. He says he voted the Demo
cratic ticket, as usual, but his county,
Barlow, went Peoples party. Good
men were elected and he has no regrets
to eXnress.

Strength Of the Anti-Briggs Forces in the
Election of a Moderator.
SARATOGA, N. Y, May 19.-The 1O6th
general assembly convened in the
auditorium of the First Presbyterian
largely Of new men, few of whom have
taken any part in the struggle that has
brought the Presbyterian church into
prominence the past few years.
Estimates have been made as to how
thSe new men stood on the old issues,
but yesterdays contest for the mOder-
ator upset all these estimates. Dele
gates all over the house kept tab OF the
vote as it was in progress. Before the
tellers had summed up the result it was
learned hat Of the four candidates the
liberal man was far in the lead.
The New Workers made efforts to get
their votes changed by the moderator,
and in a moment the assembly was in
an uproar. Loud calls for "Order.."
were heard all over the church. Dozens
of preachers were on their fee at once
crying out the moderator. On a second
vote the liberal candidate was defeated
by but II votes. This announcement
was loudly questioned by the liberals,
but the moderator ignored the clamor-
ings and declared DR.. Samuel A. Mutch-
more, of Philadelphia, the moderator.
The other three candidates were Rev.

Rev. William B.. Noble, of California,

CLEVELAND, O., May 19.-The great
conference between the representatives
OF the 200, 900 striking miners and OPP
ators representing every coal mining
district in the Uuited States has ended
in failure. The two interests came to-
gether, presented their demands, dis
cussed the condition Of the mining
trade in all its bearings, found their
differences irreconcilable and will
depart for their homes, leaving the sit
uation at the mines in apparently the
same condition of suspense that it was
before the conference was called. But
that condition is in fact more apparent
than real. One of the most prominent
operators in the Pittsburg district says
that within a week the miners will be
at work. and that they will receive
practically the scale of wages for
which they cOntended in the conference
that has Just adjourned.
