NO FUSION IN INDIANA.
The Democrats Consider That tho Pop
uiIsts Have Nothing 10 Offer.

Indianapolis Aug. At can be an
nounced authoritativeiy that the present
Democratic state convention viii not con-
slider any proposition 20 divide the cleo
tors I'm this state. Inquiry at both popu-
list and Democratic headquarters shows
that there IS no probability of the two par
ties coming together In state or national
affairs. SO far as can be learned. the
Populist committee which was empowered
to deal with the question Of electors has
not fixed the time for meeting. The DEM
ocratic managers take the position that
the Popuiists have nothing 10 offer In re-
turn for anything the Democrats might
consent 10 give.

CASUALTIES AND CRIMES.

The Clinton Democrat GAYS that
while William West and George Lanier
were hunting, Vests gun was acct
dentally discharged and the load took
effect in Lanier's leg.
The Roanoke Beacon tells OF the
killing OF colored man named john
son by another colored man named
James Moore, at Roper a few nights
ago. Moore, 1t seems, shot into a
crowd with whom he was having some
words and Johnson, who was simply
looking on, received the load from
which he died.
The Washington Messenger gives ac-
count of difficulty between man
named Dick Roberts and j. f. Hocutt,
the express agent at that place Monday
morning. The trouble was about send
ing off some money by express. Hot
words passed and Hocutt shot Roberts.
At preliminary trial Hocutt was
bound over to court In bond of $500.
Mr.. Hocutt is known in Scotland
Neck, having studied telegraphy here
some years ago under Mr.. G. w. Bryan.

national bimetalism will cease to de-
ceive; before that year arrives those

have convinced still more people that
a trust is menace to the general wei

DEFEATED BUT AGAIN RISING.

Communicated.
Well, Bryan is defeated but not down
ed, as many suppose. He is only rest
ing after having fought the greatest
political fight ever known in this or
any other country. Defeated with
money and his pretended friends, for
money and office. Yes, they came in
large forces, and Judas like, with their
dark lanterns at night betrayed him,
not with the kiss but their bags OF
of money, and a promise of a vote for
him, and giving two against him. Oh,
my country, how thou art fallen ! 1t
is not dead but will again buckle on
the armor, sift the wheat from the
chaff in every State and come out for
right and justice.
Let us follow the example OF our
leader, in hope, faith and good works,
believing as we do, that truth offends
and that though crushed to earth will
rise again-it is mighty and will pre-
vail Let us take courage and fear not.

SAD DEATH AT BRIKLEYVILLE

Correspondence to THE COMMoNwEALTH.)
BRINKLEYvILLE, n. c., Nov. 9, '96.
A gloom has been cast over our en-
tire community by the sad death OF
Mrs. John Vinson, wife of our esteem
ed townsman, Mr.. John H. Vlnson, and
a daughter of the late DIR. A. G. Harris.
Despite the very best efforts of skilled
physicians, trained nurses, and all that
loving kindness could do, she quietly
and gently cell on sleep" Friday after
noon at 3 O'Clock. Largely possessed
of many admirable traits of head and
heart, she was one of our best women.
A truly devoted wife, most caring,
thoughtful and tender mother, and at
fectionate child and sister; and an
earnest, consecrated christian, we are
sorely bereaved in her death.
She leaves five children, an infant of
two weeks among them. She was bur-
led Sunday afternoon in the church
yard at Bethesda, Rev. w. l.. Powell
conducting the sad service. DR.. S. F.
Harriss of Henderson, Mrs. T. c.. Har-
riss Of Raleigh, and Eugene Harriss of
Chapel Hill attended the burial of Mrs.
Vinson, their sister.
DR.. Chas. Wyche of Cincinnati spent
a few days IN our "burg" visiting rela-
tives and friends recently.
Miss Mary Wyche of Raleigh is in
our town.
Rev. w. L. Powell preached his fare
we'll sermon at Bethesda last night.
He is a popular preacher, loved by not
only his own church, but the people
generally.

A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.

I have made 81 GAO clear money in 81
days and attended to my household du-
ties besides, and this is doing splen-
did tor woman inexperienced in bust
ness. Anyone can sell what everyone
wants to buy, and every family wants
a Dish Washer. don't canvass at all !;
people come or send for the washer,
and every washer that goes out sells
two or three more, as they do the work
to perfection. You can wash and dry
the dishes in two minutes I am 60
ing to devote my whole time to this
business now and am sure I can clear
$4,000 year. My sister and brother
have started In the business and are
doing splendid. You can get complete
instructions and hundreds of testimo-
mails by addressing the Iron City Dish
Washer Co., Station A, Pittsburg, Pa,
and if you don't make lots of money
its your own fault. Mrs. w. II.

PREPARE FOR THE NEXT CROP

It has been many years since the
crops we're so nearly all gathered from
the fields thus early in the autumn
Cotton opened quite early and it has
been most favorable season for har-
vesting. And despite the fact that we
have just passed through most excit-
have managed in some way to gather
in their crops.
This gives most favorable opportu-
nifty to prepare for the next crop. Let
all who have not done so gather their
crops as quickly as possible and turn
attention to the preparation for the
next.
It might as we'll be settled for good
that the most that Is to be made in
this part OF the State for quite num-
Der of years to come must be made
from the products of the land. East
ern Carolina is naturally an agriculture
al section. This is so by reason OF the
great fertility of the lands here as we'll
as other influences. No great manu-
featuring industries have yet sprung
up in this immediate region through
which large amounts of money have
been turned loose amongst the people /;
and If such should be the case even in
the near future, the farmer who is lar
thest ahead with his own business will
be ahead also in the advantages that
may come through the multiplication
OF business enterprises.
The wise thing for our farmers to do,
Is to commence at once to prepare for
the crop of 1897. This applies to all
farmers alike. Whether a man works
a large force of hands or whether he
plOws one horse and cultivates his crops
with the labor of his own sons, if he is
wise In his plans he will have done
much of the work for 1897 before the
Christmas holidays OF 1896.

CATARRH MEANS DANGER.

Because it unchecked it may lead di-
rectly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established. Therefore it Is use
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or inhalants. The true
way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh byits pow
or to drive out all impurities from the
niood. Thousands of people testify
that they have been perfectly and per-
manently cured of catarrh by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

When The COMMONWEALTH went to
press twenty-four hours late last week
the delay caused by our eagerness to
give our readers the election returns
we really felt like the victory might be
for Bryan.
The result has shown that Mckinley
was elected, and so we have to write it
now defeat instead of victory.
Democracy made a gallant fight all
through the nation, and the cause OF
bimetaIlsm which Mr.. Bryan led with
such remarkable ability, was not dis
honored in the defeat.
For the present we offer no suggest
ions for the course of the Democratic
party, although Mr.. Bryan says the
fight for bimetalism has just commenc-
ed. For our part we must be content,
for the present, to give the news, adopt
the sentiment of Mr.. Bryan's telegram
to Mr.. McKinley-that the will OF the
American people is law get ready for
the prosperity that McKinley's admin
stratlon promises and wait for results.
STATE RESULTS.
The results of the election in the
State show about as follows:
Bryan's vote 1926; Mckinley IT,
769, making Bryan's majority 1857.
Some counties have not yet sent in full
returns.
The General Assembly will be about
as follows:
Senate-24 Populists, II Republi-
cans, and Democrats.
House-57 Republicans, 81 Popu-
lists, and 81 Democrats, with tie on
the member from Jackson county.

The New York World said Tuesday
that McKinley's majority over Bryan
is los.

A gentleman of much observation
said since the election that his expla-
nation of the Republican victory was
this: The Republican party is the
best organized party in the world, has
brains and money, and long trail of
ignorance to balance it and which it
uses at will,
