CHINA

The Christmas exercises at the Baptist
church on Monday evening were first class
and the young folks did themselves great
credit The two trees were loaded, and
with the aid of Santa Claus himself, the
gifts were distributed to the satisfaction
Of all. Another gathering was held the
same evening in the schoolhouse on
China Neck, at which were two well
loaded trees. Also another in the school
house at the foot of Parmenter hill when
was well attended. On Christmas nlgh1
gathering of about so old and young
assembled at the M. E. parsonage in this
village under the lead of the NJ n.
Sabbath school scholars, and a very enjoy
able evening followed. The exercises
were prayer by Rev. E, Wilson; singing
by the choir address by Rev. d. W. Went
worth; singing by Miss Marion Main, q
two year-old tot; reading by Miss Jennie
Harris, and distribution of presents from
two trees. The pastor, Rev. N. H. Pear
son and wife, were generously remembered
by numerous gifts among which was q
purse of SIS, and there were cash presents
to other parties of about s25. The same
eveningabout rs friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
=. W. Gerald came together at U. A: n,
hall to greet the popular young couple on
the first anniversary of their marriage
A reception from eight to nine o'clock
was held Then came the presentation
of a beautiful onyx clock from friends
in this vicinity. Afterwards bountiiui
supper, furnished by Mr.. Gerald, was par
taken of in the dining room below, FOL
lowed by a grand ball above. The music
was furnished by Marston's orchestra OF
Waterville. The parents Of Mrs. Geraiu
Mr.. and Mrs. E. d. Wiggin OF Boston
were prese mt, and assisted at the recep-
ton. 4

robson COUNTY

We are sorry to learn that the good
old county of Robson has been dis,
graced by the acts of would be ballotbox
rogues. The Lumberton POpWlist tells
a part of the story in following:
The most damna BILE and outrageous
frauds yer perpetrated against the
rights and liberties of a free people
were perpetrated by the Democratic
machine of Robson county in the late
election. All honest men blush at the
shameful, dishonest methods resorted
to. In Smiths township the Populists
had q majority Of about 200 votes.
The Democratic registrar of that town
ship held no election. In Thompson
township here to-fore a Democratic
strong hold an election was held and
the Populists reversed the majority by
from $50 to 200 votes. The result was
such a surprise and so d~emoralizing to
the Democrats" that their registrar and
poll holders deliberately walked off
and absolutely refused to count the
ballots, in consequence of which no
returns of the election from that place
were sent in.
In Blue Springs township the man
agement on the part of the officers and
judges of election at that place was so
shameful and disgusting that the Popu-
lists suspected that fraud would be COM
mitted. Consequently they decided
among themselves not to cast a single
vote, but took a list of the names of all
thosewho voted, and according to the list
kept by them only about one hundred
and thirty six persons voted at that
precinct and about thirty of this num-
Der voted illegally, and strange to say
the returns sent in from that township
gives q Democratic majority of $50
votes, making about 12O votes more
than was cast. At Lumberton, Max
ton, Alfordsville and Red Springs the
elections were held with closed doors
and only about 33 per cent. of the votes
cast by the Populists at each of those
places counted. When the count
was had about two thirds of the ballots
Of the Populists were found to be in the
wrong boxes and were thrown out and
] not counted in the returns.

During the great strike last summer
the railroads sent up a great wall that
their property was being destroyed.
They appealed to Uncle Sam for pro
lection, and the dapper old gentleman,
ever ready to do the bidding of the cor
porations, at once dispatched his sol
der boys to the West to put down the
rebellion against King Pullman, says
the Richmond Star.
Twas a great service he did the rail
roads. Out of simple gratitude, they
might have offered to transport his
mails gratuitously for a year or two.
But railroads are not built that way;
having 10 souls, they are, of course,
eve moved by gratitude or any other
fine emotion. They are in for blessing
the people, and this alone. Why. what
do you think these railroads have doneG
They have actually filed bills against
the government for Transporting the
troops that were called out to protect
their own property9 Would you be-
lieveit2 Could anything more audacious
be imagined9 Are there no depths to
the meanness of private monopoly-no
bounds to it's greed, no heights to it's
cheek9 Hideous vampire it is, fatten
ing upon the blood it sucks from the
peoplel That one can sit passive under
this latest attempt to bleed the nation
makes the lover of justice and right
stand aghast.
We are glad to learn that the War
Department is opposed to the payment
of the charges presented by the rail
roads, and that it is thought the claims
will be contested in the courts, the gov
eminent raising the contention that as
the roads sought protection of the
troops, they have no right to regard
them as ordinary passengers.

THE GOLD BOND A M

The World pointed out yesterday
the impossibility of permanently add
ing to the Governments gold We
by the sale of bonds under existing
conditions.
So long as we have a paper cur
rency redeemable in gold on demand
and reissuable without the receipt of
gold in return, a transaction like that
in which the Treasury is low engaged
is like pouring water into a sieve.
The bankers who buy the bonds can
draw out the gold they have paid into
the Treasury for them whenever they
see fit, and it is certain that they will
do so whenever they find advantage
in the operation.
Somebody is already doing worse.
1t became apparent yesterday that
some of the prospective bond buyers
are drawing from the Treasury's
meagre hoard the very gold with
which they must make their first pay
ment on bond purchases, and there is
nothing to prevent all of them doing
the same thing. Meantime the banks
encourage this by Withholding gold
from their customers.
It is certain that this sale of bonds
will put no gold into the Treasury ex
cept such as the banks may be willing
to spare from their stores, and that it
will not keep even that much there
longer than it may suit the banks to
do without it.
This condition of things must en-
phasize the regret that the Govern
ment did not leave the matter to the
d determination of Congress, nov 80
g ION to assemble, and wait to learn
whether that body would not provide
by law for some more eff ctive means
of protecting the ser than the
wholly inadequate M which is now
being resorted to.-NetC York World.

REFRESHING.

It is really refreshing to see that a
few Democratic newspapers are bold
enough to condemn fraudulent election
transactions, in this locality. Several
of them are talking right to the point.
But it is sad to think that they we're
not awakened to their of duty
until after a powerful combination was
formed in the State to drive their
party out of power and lay bare the
horrible story of fraud. We fear that
if the counting in machinery had not
been a partial failure, those papers
would yet be silent.

ANoTHERCAsE FOR THE COURTS

The Rutherfordton Democrat says:
LAS noted in our last issue, the vote
of Number Eleven township, Cleveland
county, was thrown out by the board
of canvassers on account of several
votes having been cast by proxy. The
thro owing out of this vote elected the
entire Democratic county ticket, ex-
cept the sheriff. 1t seems that two
men who we're sick and unable to get
to the polls, and two other men who
were lodging revenue officers, sent
their votes to the judges sealed in en-
velOpes. These were opened by the
Judges who deposited the ballots in the
boxes. One of the sick men died before
the messenger reached the polls and
was q dead man when his ballot was
deposited in the boxes. 1t is said that
this process of voting has been in vogue
in this township for several years, but
as there has never before been q con-
tested election the matter of it's illegal
ity was brought before the eu-
thorities before"
So this process of voting has been
in vogue for several years 1t is not
any wonder that Cleveland was a
Democratic county. The s:heme only
leaked out when it became necessary to
throw out a township to count in the
Democrats. This is another case for
the courts. Democratic registrars and
pollholders, or any other sort, doing
this have violated the law and must
not escaDe nunishment.

VERY QUIET NOW.

Immediately after the election, when
it was learned that Governor Level
ling and Governor Waite, of Colorado,
both Peoples party Governors. were
defeated, there was great rejoicing
among the goldbugs. The telegraph
wires were used, the goldbug news
papers fairly bristled with editorials
celebrating their defeat, and the
death" of the new party was heralded
from coast to coast. Ardent, but
nervous, Peoples party men were
actually frightened. The incessant
chatter, which was a part of the pro
gramme, was, to some extent, a sue.
cess. We have often told our readers
that when the death" Of the Alliance
or Peoples party was announced you
may rest assured that there has been a
boom.
Lewelling and Waite we're defeated.
Several reform Congressman were also
defeated. They all had been elected
on a tidal wave. So,called reform
Democrats and Republicans helped to
elect them. They were elected when
plutocracy was too confident. In the
recent election the Democrats and Re-
publicans combined in many places.
The entire force of ~plutocracy and the
organized monopolies was thrown
against them. Twenty thousand Kan
sas voters, mostly Peoples party men,
have left the State in search of employ
ment, forced to leave by the drouth
and failure of crops. The demonetiza
ton of silver and the drouth forced
thousands to leave Colorado. Yet the
actual Peoples party vote in Kansas
was increased co. 900 and increased sew
eral thousand in Colorado.
While the Peoples party representa-
ton was not greatly increased in the
U. s. Senate and House, the vote
jumped from 1000, 900 in 1892 to over
1000, 600 in 1894. That doesn't look
like death" The Peoples party did
not carry many States, but it came
near getting a majority in a large num-
Der. With the same ratio of increase
in the next two years it will elect the
President and get a majority in both
Houses of Congress. With half the in
crease it will hold the balance of power
in both Houses. Reforms never go
backward. The Peoples party is grow
ing as rapidly as a new party ought to
grow, and will hold the reins in 1897.
The only way to prevent this is for the
two old parties to do exactly what the
Peoples party demands. If this is done
the victory will be just as complete rs
if the new party did the work itself.

A CENTER SHOT.

What do Wall street bankers care
about the sufferings of the people 90
long as they are able to buy gold bonds
with silver notes9 Hurrah for the
British gold standard and the Amer
can tories who profit by itl-AhGHtd
Constitution.
Our Georgia contemporary is frantic
over the bond issue. The above para
graph is tame beside some of its OUT
bursts. But the queer thing to oH
mind is this: Should Cleveland orCar'
Isle or any other avowed goldbug Do
the nominee for President two years
hence, the Constitution would support
him and desire to whip everybody else
who didn't. RI Star.

is required and in others anybody,
whether legally qualified or not, can
vote at least once, and. we fear,
oftener. In none Of the cities or coun-
ties are the safeguards of the ballot
sufficient. It is a comparatively easy
thing to practice fraud at any election
and anywhere in Georgia. So long as
this invitation to fraud is held out,
just so long will it be accepted.
The people are already suspicious
of our election methods and there will
be grave danger when they become
convinced that the alleged results of
elections do not represent the popular
will as expressed at the polls. No ex
cuse can be offered for delay in this
matter. Our electoral system must be
thoroughly reformed at once
I'VE must have q uniform and rigid
election law for the whole State, and
those who dare to violate it must be
punished severely.
mot only the good name of George,
but peace and prosperity, law and or
der, are at stake.
The Journal is far behind the times,
but we are glad it has become aroused
to the danger of continuing and pro,
tecting this species OF roguery. The
reform press and the entire reform ele-
ment deserve the thanks of the people
everywhere for their unremitting
eff orts to purify the ballot. We can't
understand why so many Democratic
newspapers still persist in overlooking
such a state of affairs. We must have
an honest election law in North Caro-
lima and other States will follow the
example. Afree use of the ballot may
result in putting a bad man in Office
now and then, but the number of such
will be more than overbalanced by
other good features. Nothing can be
more false than that 1.-The end justiies

BONDS, MORE N

The bond business goes merrily on.
Southern cotton planters and Western
grain farmers don't trouble the Secre-
tary of the Treasury with bids, how
ever Business men, mechanics and
professional men are conspicuously
absent at the great bond carnival. But
the bankers are there-that is a few
New York and London bankers. Bank
ers from other points are not in it.
Grover Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle snubbed the others. They made
the trade with New Workers and An
nounced that the credit of the govern
ment is so good that a syndicate of
New Workers were ready to take the
entire issue. Just now, when the credit
of most of her citizens is at a low ebb,
it is extremely gratifying to learn that
Uncle Sam can give his note for $780,
600, 600 on two different occasions in
side of six months. Tt tickles u
fancy. These fellows with patched
breeches and an empty stomach who
clamor for "a sound dollar" will be
immensely tickled by this transaction.
They will declare that times r good.
If times wasn't good how could Uncle
Sam get so much credit But every
dollar in cash, every foot of land, every
horse, mule, COW, hog and sheep in the
United States is behind Uncle Sam in
this transaction.
Cleveland, Carlisle & Co. pretend
that they are replenishing the gold re-
serve by selling bonds. The gold reserve
is already ten times as large as it need
be. Some of the best posted inanciers
in the country say that S., 600, 900 is
enough-more than enough. 1t is more
than ten time that 10Y and the bond
sellers want to make it twenty times
as much. The bankers who are buying
bonds are drawing gold out of the
treasury every day to buy bonds. A
more threadbare, uncalled- for swindle
was never pe~rpetrated. One of the
first acts by the new Congress in 1895
should be a resolution forbidding the
sale of bonds at any time or for any
purpose in time of peace.

THE BALLOT.
ne Atlanta Journal says:

The Atlanta Journal says:
If the legislature adjourns without
enacting a good election law, it will
sorely disappoint the people.
The demand for such legislation
comes from all parts of the State and
is urged by the press. Both the State
and the congressional elections fur
nished ample evidence of the need of
ballot reform in Georgia. In both
those elections frauds were undoubt,
eddy perpetrated by Populists and
Democrats alike. Which party pro
flied most by these frauds we are not
prepared to say, but that both are
guilty we have not the least doubt.
