SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
THEIR CAREER IS SHORT LIVED.

THEIR CAREER IS SHORT LIVED.
Asheboro Courier
There is a class of politicians who live
on hate, who never shed the sunshine OF
peace and good will. They steal when they
can, and when caught in the act in order
to cover up their own guilt, they cry out
against honest men,, and cry fraud and
corruption and sometimes well-meaning
men are deceived by their loud clamor.
These men are found generally in the
shape of some dirty fellow who has been
elevated in the Radical revenue SER
vice; sometimes he is the hired tool Of
the revenue ring; sometimes he is a crea-
tion of the ring, wanting an office only
to disgrace it and for loot and plumber.
Again, he is a sorehead, without credit
or the confidence of his neighbors, and,
disappointed, in his desperation seeks
surcease for his sorrow in consolation
with swine-feeding on the husks and re-
fuse from Hanna's table. These are the
Johnnie McLaurins of politics, who have
boxed the political compass with each
changing wind, and who never had any
political convictions other than those
prompted by their desire for office or the
refuse from Hannas table. The career
of such is short-lived; rocks and noun
tains soon fall upon them.

THE RIVER RECORD BROKEN
The Cape Fear Higher Than Has
Ever Before Been Known.

The Cape Fear river at Fayetteville
was yesterday morning half foot
higher than ever before known. In the
1865 freshet there was Sc feet of water
i'm the river. In the 1895 freshet there
was So feet, and in the present freshet
the measurement yesterday morning
was 5S.5 feet. Commenting on the flood
in the Cape Fear, the Fayetteville OBJ
server says:
some even predict that it will reach
as high as 60 feet. If this proves true
the Clarendon and the Atlantic Coast
Line bridges will both be in serious
danger of being swept away Just last
April there was quite large freshet
i'm the Cape Fear which reached 4SR
feet. Great numbers of people are
flocking to the river to see the mighty
stream of water rushing with tremen-
dous velocity to the ocean. 1t is full
to the banks, and. with few feet more,
will be overlooking its great banks in
Completion. Quantities of logs fenc-
ing and timbers of all description, and
the wreckage of small houses form
continuous procession down the
stream.
In the Roanoke river at Weldon there
is also a raging flood. though the water
is not as high by some five feet as 1t
was in 1877. 1t was yesterday morning
Ill feet, just the same depth it was
in the 1896 freshet.
Neuse river has likewise been running
very high, but the danger point is now
past; the maximum flood in it was
reached Thursday night.
Streams all over the country are now
falling and unless there is more rain
within the next day or two there will
be no further damage from the water.
