the prices OF provisions. After the war there
would be an immense number OF widows

singular craze Which Has Grown Out
of the Present Campaign.
Have you the button habit? If not you
are lucky. 1t is the latest craze and is
raging with great viruence just now. Nearly
every day sees its ravages increase. and
until after the election it will prevail
1t is the mania for collecting and wearing
campaign and similar buttons which has
taken hold of many people stronger this
year than it ever did before. says the Chi
cago Chronicle. One reason is that the man
uiacturers have given more attention to the
making OF special designs and motto buttons
this year and the demand for them is so
great that the ingenuity of the inventors
is taxed to devise new and catchy notices
They started mildly enough with the regular
campaign buttons bearing the pictures of
the candidates. But the heat of the contest
and It's peculiar nature rousing the intense
interest that 1t does among people of every
walk of life developed so many catch
phrases that the button men soon began
TO turn out lapel ornaments which in a
| rev words told the political affiliations of
the wearer. The silver question with it's
| cross OF gold' and "53-cent dollar" features
was seized upon by the button-makers and
weeks ago the market was flooded with
buttons bearing inscriptions OF every shade
| of politics.
Then the collectors began their work.
Realizing that this campaign would be n
| notable one in history and that the buttons
expressing the sentiments of various par
! Tics would prove interesting in years to
| come, they began gathering in all sorts and
conditions of buttons. The political ones
| were augmented by buttons with slangy or
humorous devices upon them and then the
collectors were happy. Rubber Neck is a
favorite button. and among other inscrp-
lions are: Just Tell Them That You Saw
Me- 81 Am for Easy Money" IF You Love
| Me, Grin" and What VIII You Have ?"

and some OF them wear the entire collection
on their clothing arranging the buttons in
| double rows around their hats and on their
| cloaks like trimming. Cigarette firms give
away the buttons bearing their lad" in
small type under the inscription, and dealers
are besieged by the little ones for buttons.
When the campaign OF 1896 passes into his

rHE THREATENED LEASE.


A special from Newbern published
elsewhere in to-day's paper gives the in
formation that a meeting of the stock
holders of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad has been called for Mon
day next to lease that road to syndi-
cate already formed.
We call the attention of the public to
this communication so that they may
be prepared 10 enter a vigorous protest
against the proposed action.
We do not commit ourselves to-day to
the adYisability of. leasing the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad. But we
do say that any lease Of this road with
out public advertisement for bids, is a
thing that ought not to be seriously con-
sidered for moment. If it is wise TO
lease this railroad, it ought to be done
after full advertisement and after inyit-
ing bids from all parties that would like
to make bids. And then these bids
ought to be submitted to the Legislature,
freshly chosen from the people, to ac-
cept or reject. The State owns con-
trolling interest in this railroad. Tt is
the only railroad that is now under State
control. If it is wise to do away with
State management and lease the road to
an outside syndicate, it ought to be done
only after full discussion, wide public
ity and an opportunity to all to bid.

Republican, and giving Mckinley the
odds in every county, they estimated that
Bryan would carry 68 counties, receiving
majorities of q, 400, and that Mckinley
would carry % counties with 1920 ma
jorities, leaving Bryan majority of
5000. This is the very lowest figure that
Bryan's majority will reach in the State.
