OUR AUTHORITY.

Two weeks ago we said editOrially
that the Third party in this county was
weakening. We based our statement
on what was reported to the editor of
this paper from every section and al
most every township in the county.
Since we made the statement strong
and sanguine Third party man of this
community has approached us and
asked upon what we based our state
ment. We replied that we made the
statement upon the verbal information
of good and truthful men from almost
every township in the county. At
Halifax the Monday before we made
the statement number of as good and
truthful men as can be found told us
that the primaries in their townships
were poorly attended and in one or two
townships there were not enough to
hold meetings at all.
The said Third party man contended
that the absence of Third party men
at the primaries did not mean anything.
But if the repeated appeals through
their papers that the populists be on
hand every time means anything, it
seems to us that their absence at the
primaries meant Indifference. And
then we have always heard that ''straws
show which way the wind blows"

IFA CONTEST LET TT BE ". A i.
DUNN

There is a sort Of unWrltten rule in
the Democratic party in North Carroll
ma that when a good man IS sent to
Congress all other aspirants will stand
aside and give the new man a chance
tor the nomination to the second term
at least. We think this is just and
fair and we have ever favored this
courtesy. The truth is, from the very
nature Of things, a representative IN
Congress cannot be worth much to his
constituency if he serves only one term.
And this is one Of the pleas that this
paper has urged time and again for less
freouent elections The first term Of
representative in Congress is mainly
taken up in familiarizing himself with
the real duties of Congressman and
so it has generally been understood
that a new man ought to have a chance
at the second term.
But it begins to transpire that in
this, the Second district, there will be
several aspirants for Mr.. Woodlands
place. And while we would not put a
feathers weight in Mr.. Woodlands way
alone, if there is to be a contest between
others besides Mr.. Woodland, THE DEM
oCRAT thinks that among the many
good men in the district, Mr. w. A.
Dunn, OF Scotland Neck, would be as
acceptable to the people as any man
that could be named.
We know that a number of the
best people in the district wish Mr.
Dunn to be nominated if there is to be
any contest for Mr.. Woodlands place.
If Mr. Dunn is candidate he has
not told us SO but we have taken this
liberty to use his name at the suggest
ion of his friends AS to Mr. Dunn's
ability, he is well known throughout
the district, as we'll as throughout East
ern Carolina and the most of the State
There is not more energetic, progress
sive thinker and worker within the
ranks Of the Democratic party in North
Carolina.

WHY NOT A SCHOOL,

Can the people Of Scotland Neck and
community afford to be longer without
a male SCHOOL,
The military school here was closed
last January and since that time there
has been no male school here at all,
Such a thing has not been known
here. we suppose, in more than half a
century.
There is a good brick building, well
furnished with desks, waiting for some
one to open school. The property is
now under mortgage, it is true, but can
not the original stockholders and the
people Of the town and community
generally make satisfactory arrange
ments to open a school at once?
There are numbers Of boys here
whose parents are anxious to put them
in school and if school is not soon
opened these boys Will have to be sent
away. This will be another drain up
on the community.
The editor OF THE DEMOCRAT has
received numbers Of letters from com
petent teachers asking about the posi-
bilities Of getting the school, There
Will be no trouble about getting a
teacher if the people will make ar
rangements to let the school building
to some competent man.
Boys in several communities would
like to come here, but it matters not
what sort of inquiries they make, as
things now stand, there is no induce
ment to offer them to come.
When the people of the town sub
scribed money to make the new build
ing it was thought that good school
would soon be built up. 1t was a
reasonable calculation we said SO then
and we stick to it still Three years
time has not changed the condition of
affairs except to make them more IA
vorable. Now that the town has been
without a school six months the next
will be more appreciated and there
will be more unanimity in sustaining
it, Let us have a school at once.

A NEW TEMPERANCE FREAK.

DIR. Pritchard in his Sunday letter
to the Charlotte Observer writes:
"The temperance people of Haver-
hill, Mass, have adopted novel meth
Cd OF dealing with the saloons. Hav-
erhill has been "dry" for some time
past, but it recently went "wet" and
twenty-six saloons started up, where
upon the temperance people opened an
elegant saloon where the best liquors
are sold at cost This is to draw all
the custom away from the saloons and
compel them to shut up. When that
is done the temperance people will
close theirs also, but will stand ready
to open it again whenever the liquor
men resume business. A novel pro-
cedure, surely"

FROM GHIC.fGO.
President Cleveland Has Gained Votes.

In private letter from Dr.. ]. +.
Hancock we find some things that will
interest our readers and we take the
liberty to publish some parts of M
letter. DR.. Hancock il in the heart 81
Chicago and has seen the struggle. He
writes as follows
The situation Is simply appalling.
When the business men 90 TO their Of
fees in the morning they do not kno"
whether or not they will be compelled
to walk home For fear Of their trains
being derailed the railroad companies
have all discontinued their suburban
service after 6 o'clock p. m. All through
trains are moving on time, but under
guard Of [. 5. soldiers and eating
guns. Every train to and from the
city is either under guard Of soldiers or
Z. S. marshals. Business is almost
paralvzed. Provisions have gone up
until they are entirely out Of reach OF
the poor people, and subscriptions are
beng sought for their benefit
You. away down in North Carolina,
can not begin to realize the magnitude
of this strike. There have been several
small engagements between the soldiers
and strikers in which several nave been
killed and many wounded. 1t was
hoped that the backbone of the strike
was broken, until Monday evening,
when there was a conference between
the city officials, labour leaders and the
officials of the Pullman Co. At this
conference the Pullman officials refused
absolutely to submit to arbitration, and
hence the momentarily expected action
of the American Federation OF labour.
We hope against hope that it will not
come. but it looks inevitable at present
writing.
President Cleveland, by his action III
calling out Federal soldiers, has gained
many votes for the Democratic party,
and from the republican ranks at that.
In the morning issue OF the Herold
it is claimed that two attempts have
been made to blow up the magnificent
Pullman building and to kill Wee
President Wickes OF the Pullman Com
pany but I think this is newspaper
rot. The papers have done SO much
lying during the struggle that people
have become lncredulous and do not
believe anything unless reported two or
three days in succession. Every paper
published in this city IS trying to get
ahead of the others and hence 50 much
Misrepresentation One Of the papers,
the most magnificent liar on earth,
gets out an extra about every hour.
And thus it is with the newspapers.
To cap the climax, the newsboys
have declared boycott against all the
papers that have expressed any sympa-
thy whatever Tor the Pullman Compa-
nv, and hence the little rascals Will not
even sell the Herold, Trijunc, Inter-
| Ocean, Post, or Mail.
If anything Of serious nature oc-
ours I will telegraph you. If not Will
keep you posted through the mail.
There is no business and | have lots OF
time to write.

MPSON COUNTY DEMOCRA CT

1t has been claimed by some of the
sanguine populists that the majority of
the people of Sampson county have es-
poused their cause. Sampson being
the home of Marion Butler, the presi-
dent OF the National Farmers Alliance,
and who IS also one of the most extreme
popullsts in the country, the question
as to gains to that party in his county
is one of interest
The following from a prominent dem
Ocrat OF that county to friend in Scot
land Neck ought to put a quietus on
the Boosting of those populists who
claim SO much in Sampson. This
prominent democrat writes concerning
the democratic outlook in Sampson as
follows:
1--WE are in better condition by far
than we were at this time two wears
ago"
And this is the way great many
claims that are made by the populists
show up.

by arrival III port of the bark Glad It'd
ings from Rio, with yellow fever on
board. The Glad Tidings, Capt. Young,
left Rio for Baltimore, June 18th, with
5000 bags Of coffee. A few days before
her departure W. W. Benson, the cook,
was attacked with the lever. He was
sent to the hospital and left behind
June 23rd second officer Fritz Hines
was stricken with the dread disease.
He died June 2Sth and was buried at
sea. No more new cases broke out and
the officers supposed that the disease
had been stamped out. The law re-
quires that vessels arriving with infec-
tlous diseases aboard should 90 into
quarantine. Capt. Young thought it
was unnecessary to stop at the Capes
and came up to Baltimore. The Gus
lolIl IlOt'oC CiilC1diS refused nor entry
and Surgeon General Wyman has the
case under advlsement. Capt. Young
says the yellow fever has been nearly
stamped out of Rio De Janeiro. The
people are recovering from the effects
of the recent rebellion and the business
interests of Brazil are assuming their
usual activity.
