BENSONVILLE, N. Y, July 27.-Joseph
K. Walworth, 65 years old, widower and
,well-to-do farmer. set out yesterday to
elope with Susie Hall, the 19-year-old
daughter of a neighbor, but the couple
were pursued and overtaken by the farm
er's daughter on wheel.
The sight of his weeping daughter and
thoughts of her devotion TO him so affected
the farmer that despite Miss Halls pro-
tests he turned his horse about and set
out toward home. Miss Walworth fol-
lowed on her bicycle.
When Miss Halls home was reached
there was a brief conference between the
three, and then Walworth, declaring that
he had erred IN the course he had taken,
decided to abandon his matrimonial plans.
He drove home with his daughter. Miss
Hall now threatens to prosecute the famr-
er for breach of promise.

RAILROAD LEASES.
CHAPTER I,

CHAPTER l.
Prior to the days of reconstruct on
the pecuniary affairs of the State of
North Carolina were managed with
rare honesty. They were not great
in amount, but great enough to
awaken the cupidity of unscrupu-
lous men, if such had been placed In
control of them. There had been
few instances in the history of the
State in which the integrity of any
high official had been brought into
question. And indeed, looking back
over the long years that had elapsed,
from the organization of the State
Government in 1776, down to
the war, things moved on So smooth
ly that it must be admitted our To-
cal history is deficient in events cal
culated to awaken lively interest
on the part of the people. Our boys
and girls, and older people prefer to
read of the greater events of for
eign lands and ancient times. His
tory must abound in stirring Incl
dents, of some sort, of good or evil
report, to claim attention. During
the first half of the century the ex-
penses of our State government
never reached one hundred thou
sand dollars; and it was not until
the legislature began to invest in
railroad building, that the expendi-
lures began to exceed that amount.
In those primitive days the affairs
of State moved on with the regular
ity of an old, we'll regulated family
clock, and were only noticed when
the hours were struck and when the
machinery needed to be wound up.
The North Carolina railroad, ex-
tending from Goldsboro to Char
lstte, by way of Raleigh, Green's
boro, and Salisbury, was chartered
by the legislature at the session of
1S48 40. 1t is 223 miles in length
and has cost the State and people
nearly five millions of dollars. The
original charter provided that when
individuals should subscribe for one
million and pay in half that amount,
the State would subscribe for two
millions. But this amount was found
to be insufficient and in 1855, the
State subscription was raised to
three millions; and the road was
completed. The Company, composed
of tho private stockholders and the
State authorities, had its vicissitudes
of good and i'll fortune; but devel-
oped into profitable enterprise of
great value to the country at large,

HON. GEO. E. HUNT FOR CONGRESS-

This is the year of all years when
none but fire-tried patriots should be
placed on guard. With President
and Senate for free silver, there must
be House of Representatives of the
same kind elected. Every nominee
for the House should be a man with
courage of the highest order, for he
will be called upon to Withstand the
fierce heat which melts weak, waxen
minds. He should be a man who has
passed through the fiery furnace of
persecution by the relentless hatred of
goldbugs on the one hand, and the
haters of civil liberty on the other.
Such man is Judge George E. Hunt,
clerk of the Superior court of David
son county. In the prime of life, we'll
educated, full of information, a strong.
forceful and logical DICTATOR, he would
hurl defiance at all British money
changers and American Tories. He
has been day hand in the cause of
reform from the inception of the Peo-
Piles Party. No man in the State has
suffered more at the hands of the vote
stealing and egg-thrOwing oligarchy
than he. But out of all these trials he
has emerged stronger and fuller of
faith in the immortal and GOd-given
principles of the great party of the
people. At all times he has been filled
with the ardOr and the holy enthusi-
asm of crusader. notwithstanding
the fact that social and professional
ostracism sat upon his brow like q
crown of thorns, and that he was
stretched upon golden cross of rot
ten eggs, he has kept the faith. He
defeated one of the strongest and
wealthiest and most highly educated
men in the State for clerk, whose hold
upon the people was supposed to be
lasting. Not an hour has passed since
the organization of the Alliance that
he has not labored for it's Advancement.
To every position he has given his
tireless efforts and unlimited time.
He is popular with all parties. As
there is general cOncensus of opinion
in favor OF free silver his candidacy
would be endorsed not only BY
Populists but by the liberal Republi-
cans whose enthusiastic support he
would receive.
Taken all in all and with disparity
for none, it may be safely said that
Judge Hunt would sweep the 9TH N.
G. district by a larger majority than
any other man in it. No other voice
would ring out so mefcilessly and
pitilessly against the damning infiu-
ences of soulless corporations and
heartless p!utocratic powers.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Mr.. Cy. Watson, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, is reported to
be scoring and denouncing the
trusts. Well, what good does that
dot What's new about it7 Demo
Gratis will denounce anything on the
stump. An Alliance legislature
passed a law in this State against
trusts. 1t Is on the books now. But
Democrats were left in charge of
affairs. They have never taken one
single step toward prosecuting
trusts-not one. Mr.. Watson has
never denounced his party for fail
ing to enforce that antitrust law.
No; he stands by that party now and
that party has stood by the trusts. A
Demoera: Is mighty warrior when
1t comes to TALKING against trusts,
but chicken hearted craven when
it comes to ACTING against them.

There is little sense and less de-
cency in the yelps that Democrats
are making over the Alabama cleo
ton. 1t is just like two former cleo
tons. There is no man, acquainted
with the situation but who knows
that it was as fraudulent as these
two former elections. None but a
liar or an ignoramus can claim that
there is an honest count. The only
thing this election shows is that
while there may be professions of
conversions among Democrats, they
are the same old gang. They have
to be watched in order to be trusted.

In the past, insurance companies
have taken but little interest in poll
tics, because the candidates of both the
Democratic and Republican parties
have been for the gold standard, and
no matter which one was elected, they
got what they wanted. This year the
great insurance companies are all
Hooking to the standard of Mckinley.
not only because they want to main
tam the gold standard, but also they
are afraid that an income tax law will
be passed that will force these rich
companies to pay part of their enorm-
Gus annual incomes to support the
Government. Will the policy holder
vote to tax himself to raise all the
money necessary to run the Govern
ment, or will he vote for graduated
income tax to force those who have
made millions out of the insurance
business to pay their fare share of the
burden of taxation?
