Household Hints.


Brown boots may be simply and ef-
fectively cleaned by rubbing them
with peeled .onions and afterwards
polishing them with soft cloth.
The pressure of tight shoe may
be relieved by applying cloth wrung
outin boiling water, to it when on the
foot. This causes the shoe to stretch
and mold itself to tho shape of the
foot.
Cane chairs. the seats of which
have sunk down, may be renovated by
turning them upside down, aud wash
ing with strong soap suds, after well
soaking, set to dry, when it will be
found that the seats have become
quite fat.
Hair brushes should never be wash
ed with soap. A piece of soda dissolv-
ed in warm water should be used,
and the bri Ties will speedily become
white and clean under its influence.
Dry in the open air, keeping the brist-
les downward.
Fruit should be eaten by every one
during the hot weather unless it posi-
lively disagrees with them, as it con-
tains large proportion Of pure water,
in addition to certrin salts which are
needed to keep the body in perfect
health.

The Wilmington Messenger COM
menting upon the letter of Postmaster
ChadbOurn, of that city, of date the
18th, says:
In his letter Mr.. Chadbourn sets him
self right and does justice to the COM
munity. We recommend his frankness
in doing this, and we also commend
his foresight in observing that the
present political condition in North
Carolina is doomed. He correctly
states the case when he says he feels
that race conflict is imminent He
doesn't overestimate the direful con-
sequences either. Indeed, the situation
here has been one for some time that
might be compared to a magazine only
awaiting the spark to set it off. Such
state of affairs is intolerable. II
cannot and will not be allowed to con-
tinue."
The editor of The Observer had a
private letter last week from a friend
in Wilmington who stated the case in
almost the foregoing language-his
language was that the striking of a
parlor match would start the blaze.
Another letter from this same friend,
received Tuesday night, said that there
is no guessing what will happen there

then, but that he proposed to send his

Yours truly,
JNO. NJ. FAISON.

The editor of the Argus was at the
Hood Swamp speaking, and sat within
ouch of DR.. Thompson. When the
loctor made his $500 proposition above
referred to, at least a dozen hands
went up in all directions, but the willy
doctor apparently became suddenly
will not see''-and made painful effort
to get away from his proposition; like
q boy unable to swim who wading
along on what he considers safe bot
iom steps suddenly over his head and
struggles desperately for his lost foot
Ing.
It soon become apparent that DR..
Thompson's promise of $500 was like
all those promises of reform" the
populist office hunters had made the
people two years ago-only for bum
comb and votes. At this stage of
Thompson's confusion" Mr.. Matthew
Jinnet spoke out and announced his
return to the democratic party. He
was perfectly sober, and said then and
there that he did not demand the $500
but he wanted DR.. Thompson to know
that there were plenty of populists
there who would vote the fusion ticket
no more He did not get the $500;
nor did any of the others who held up
their hands.
There was no suggestion then and
there that Mr.. Jinnet was drunk. No
one saw Mr. Dal Hardy drag" him up
to the stand; for that did not occur.
It remained for Fox" Person to
fabricate this falsehood out of the
whole cloth and promulgated it where
he knew thera would be no eye wit
nesses to givf t the lie; but fortunate
ly for truth and truth will prevail
he struck the wrong place to tell it
at Faison's where Messrs. Hunter Hall
and F. L. Castex were present to con-
| tradict it.

Mr. ChadbOurn Recants
Charlotte Observer.)

The letter of recantation of Postmas
ter Chadbourn, Of Wilmington, is per-
haps the most sensational publication
of the campaign. Under date of Sep
tember 26th he wrote to Senator
Pritchard a letter in which he said in
effect, if not in language, that the dem
ocratic representations about negro Of
fee holders in Wilmington and New
Hanover, and about political conditions
generally in that city and county were
false, and this letter has been widely
printed and quoted by the republican
fusionists, who have made campaign
document of it. Now Mr.. Chadbourn
writes a second letter in which he ac-
knowledges the negro office holders
and the gravity of the situation.
There is,'' he says, "a greater feeling
of unrest and uncertainty about the
maintenance of order that I have ever
seen, and many, even the most con-
servative, feel that a race conflict is
imminent, than which nothing could
be more disastrous, not only to this city
and county, but to our party in the
state, and rather than have riot, arson
and bloodshed prevail here, I, republi-
can though I am, advise giving UP the
local offices in this county, as there
are no national political principles in
velved in this contest

government hereafter. This letter is a
complete answer to the cry of demo
cratic lies" applied to the solemn
truths which the democratic press and
sneakers have uttered In rcforopoa fo

A FEW REFLECTIONS

Did Tuesdays convention at Tar
boro mean anything? It it did what was
it? Did the people in the county and
particularly in Tarboro put forth every
energy within them to bring about the
scene that was enacted on that day
without a purpose? No! Behind and
underneath it all was a fixed purpose
and determination that was as grim
as death. 1t was the outburst of
people who have suffered beneath the
gall of wicked rulers, and made to live
within the pale of unjust and tyran-
nous laws. For two years they have
remained silent. For two long years
have they abided their time, and like
true loyal citizens kept pent up their
wrath and indignation. Tuesdays
scene was but the beginning of an end,
that will surely follow. Edgecombe
democrats have proclaimed to the
world that they will no longer submit
to negro rule. They fear nothing
they will allow nothing short of a COM
plete victory to satisfy them. / looked
into their faces. / saw their firmness
and resoluteness. 1 heard them talk,
and it was not the idle musing of
unstable men, but deep utterances of
brave men, fully resolved to do their
duty to their wives, their children and
their loved ones, come what may.
Edgecombe democracy is thoroughly
aroused. The present movement is of
no man, or clique Of men. 1t is a
movement Of the people to right wrongs
and place the white man where he
should be, in the ascendency.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Ed. Gregg, of Vandalia, Arrested by
Rails County Officials on the
Charge of Attempted Rape.

On April 81 our neighboring vii
lage, Vandaiia, was thrown into a
Juror of excitement when Constable
Burns, of Rails county, arrested Ed.
Gregg on the charge of attempting to
rape the 13-year-o old daughter Of E.
Campbell, ten miles north of Wanda
liza. Gregg is a huckster and goes
around the country trading merchan-
disc for farm produce. 1t is said that
when he reached CampbelFs house on
Wednesday he got into a conversation
with Campbell's daughter and finally
offered her 5 cents to go with him and
show him where some cedar trees
grew. The girl did as requested and q
short time afterward neighbors heard
a child's screams and hurried in the
direction of the noise. When they
arrived in sight, SO it ia claimed,
Gregg seemed greatly confused. The
girl says that he did not accomplish
his purpose, but made a desperate
effort to do 30.
Gregg went to Vandalia, and, as told
above, was arrested that morning.
Constable Burns started overland to
New London this morning, but it ia
not known whether he reached there
with his prisoner or not. The people
living around Campbelps are highly
Infatuated.
Gregg is q married man with 6 or z
children. He is over 80 years of age
and adjudged worthless by those who
know him.
