Handsome Three-StOry Brick
Building to be Erected
on Main Street.

May be you have heard about it,
Madam Rumor has had hold of it for
some time. But it is settled now that
within short while magnificent
three story brick building will be
erected on the..corncr just across Main
street from Farr and Thomson's.: A
plan has been drawn and submitted
by Chas. G.. Hook an architect of
Charlotte, N. G. which will be adopt
ed, and work on the building will be
commenced just as soon as the win
ter breaks and the good weather sets
in. The building will front fifty feet
on Main street and will extend 1874
feet along Bachelor street. 1t would
be impossible to give a perfect pen
picture of the edifice in few words,
so We will have to content ourselves
with telling some things about it. 1t
will have five store rooms, two front
ing on main street and three fronting
on Bachelor street; also barber
shop with bath rooms attached front
ing on Bachelor street. All these will
be on the first floor.
The second floor will contain an
Opera House with a seating capacity
of 400, and also number of offices.
The third floor will contain hall
81 by 60 feet, and number Of offices.
The building will have in all twenty
rooms exclusive of the store rooms
on the first floor.
The corner room on the first floor
will be occupied by the Merchants
and Planters National Bank. 1t will
have corner front and two large
handsome plate glass windows. Some
others of the store rooms and some
of the offices have been spoken for,
but wo forbear to mention names.
The side walk on either side will
be cemenetd, and at the third floor
over the Bank entrance there will be
a large clock.
The building will cost about
$4,000. Who is building it, YOU
ask? Well that's an open secret so
hete is no harm: in. telling. Two
parties are interested in the enter
prise, The Merchants and Planters
National Bank and DR.. Nj. II.

kilTi'S PLATFOM.
Observer.

Editor Register: We suggest the
following as the platform for all who
are opposed to existing conditions to
stand on and fight for their rights in
the campaign of 1896:
Down with the financial policy of
Old England that gold and only gold
is money in final redemption -
Down with the traitors who advo-
cate and uphold this policy for the
enslavcment Of the people and the
sure destruction Of our free institu-
tionS.
Let our motto be "Amcrica for
Americans. Let it be proclaimed
in sunshine and in storm. Up with
the financial policy OF the patriot
fathers Of .hc republic, that gold AID
silver shall have the same right of
coinage at the mints, l5.aS9 of silver
to of gold, each Il full legal tender,
and each with the same purchasing
and dept paying power.
Let the god and silver coins be
supplemented by fnll legal tender
bills of the United States receivable
for all debts, both public and private
to the full amount ofSJO per capita,
including the gold and silver coins,
without conycrtibility Il distinctive
American money.
y tariff to ra:sc revenue sufficient
to pay all the yearly demands and
currcnt.cxpenscs of the government
wisely and economical ly administered.
The above is ali that should be put
in the platform Of those opposed to
the English system Of finance for the
approaching campaign. 1t should
notb be cncmbcrcd. The paramount
issues should be clearly defined if
the representatives Of the two old
parties who are determined to fastcn
on the people that gold and only
gold is money are to bcovcrthrown.
The people cannot too soon realize
the magnitude of the contest and
what is in store for them if they are
defeated, cd,-rJl"mbM Register.

gether. Capt. Douglas will get his
confederate roll bill through, but his
pension bill was killed. The House
voted for pensions 500, 100000 and
all of the Union Delegation voted for
the bill.
Mrs. J. c. OTIS is down, looking
+ after Capt: Otis. She says she has
no dcsire>'for her husband to stand
| for reelection, and 'much prefers to
stay at home, but Mr.. OTIS says he
thinks to persuade her to let him
make the race again.
Mr.. Fowler has introduced an in.
come tax, and Mr.. Wclch is favorable
while Mr.. Otis doubts the wisdom of
passing it unless other states had a
similar law. Mr.. Fowler made a
gallant fight for the charter of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, but the Constitution will not
allow special charters.
Mr.. Fowler has made three at
tempts to get the road age from TWEEN.
ty one to SO years. In his effort Mr..
Otis has stood by him nobly but in
vain. They contend that one dollar
road tax is enough, and that the peo'
pie will not pay two dollars, and the
road question will drag along just as
at present..
There is a knotty question about
the Atlanta appropriation, Governor
Evans borrowed 100000 to make
the exhibit, and the question is will
the Legislature refund the amount to
him. Many members contend that
it can not be done inside of the con
sti:ution. On this matter Union is
divided, Mr.. Wclch favors paying it.
MIR. Otis on the otEcr hand opposes
it, on the ground that it is executive
appropriation and that it is uncon-
stitutional, and that Gov. Evans
should have asked the Legislature in
1894 to have made the appropriation,
and if they lad done so that there
would have been no further trouble
and if they had refused that Evans
would not have cared to do it. = There
twill be lively fight over this appro-
priation. =
There seems to be Tbut little hope
of getting ready to adjourn before the
first. of March. Mr.. OTIS has tried
twice to have steering committee
appointed to arrange calendar but,
the House prefers to 90 on i'll the
same old rut.

1t is Clearly Outlined in a Letter
to Friend.

Washington. Feb. 13.-Since his
speech in Senate, Senator Tillman of
South Carolina has read numerous
letters from Democrats appealing to
him to state his position, otherwise
his speech in the senate would be of
great harm to the party.
In reply to a letter from friend
in South Carolina, Senator Tillman
writes as follows and puts himself on
record without a doubt:
81 have your letter of February
5th, and appreciate very much your
kind words of commendation, In

a fatal blundcr not to send delegates

ton and would only be putting it in
the hands of our goldbug enimcs.
"If tho national convention does
not adopt a platform to suit us and
put on man above suspicion as to
his loyalty, we can then leave the

every true friend of silver and tinan-
ciai reform should be directed to hav

A Warning.

Information was received last night Of an
attempt by persons representing the lloir
ticket to seduce some Of the dele gates elected
at Saturdays primaries In the interest sf
Messrs. Ripple, Williams and Widmayes,.. In
one case the promise made was so generous
in its terms as to lead to the belief that
wholesale project Of attempted bribery Is In
progress. The plan OF operation is to endeavor
to secure the delegates credentials and trans.
fer them to some creature of the Scranton
combine who will deliver the vote in conven.
tion in accordance with the combines direc.
tiOns.
1t is not believed that any Of the Ripple dele.
gates can be influenced to commit a breach Of
trust; but the attempt to effect such q result
affords an interesting commentary upon the
sincerity Of the Moir mems cry that they have
been the victims Of corrupt political methods.
The information in our possession is positive.
The details Of the various overtures are fully
known. This much by way Of warningl
