THAT the iron furnaces in the
United States, and especially
those in Alabama, are enabled to
successfully invade with their
products the English markets,
is shown by the fact that thirty
thousand tons Of pig iron
have recently be purchased II
this country for shipment toEng-
land. For d long period Great
Britain maintained the lead in
low prices for iron, but recently
col d ions have changed, aud
no the Uuited States ocrHoy
the front rank in low prices.
Two Republican campaigners,
Gudger and Reynolds. held forth
in the court house in this city
Monday 10 an audience Of
their colored confreres,T They arr
rived ca the Raleigh train and
were greeted at the depot 5y a
piece of a colored cornet band
most ly drumb music-two large
portraits of Mckinley and Ho-
bart, and a crowd Of dusky con-
stitutents, who subsequently
formed a line and marched to the
court house. We scanned the
marching throng as they passed
US for a white face and at length
recognized the swarthy counten>
ance of the late DR.. w. p. Exum,
a Populite gubernatorial re-
nown, who is now accredited to
Mckinley, Hanna & Co: We
think one of the greatestsargu-
ments in favor of the be-
nign and elevating infu-
ence of Democratic rule in
North Carolina is that thirty
years ago DR.. Pat. Exum
was boasting of how many car
casses of ktu-kluxed negroes he
had ferti1izing the mari holes on
his plantation, and to -day-under
Democrtic rule-the race bias SO
advanced as to become the polit-
icai ASSOCIATES of VIM. Patrick
Mckinley Exum Fraly, Democ-
racy Las done much for the
