ADVERTISING MANAGER.

The News and Observer is glad to an
nounee that Mr.. Henry Bagley has ac-
eepted the position of Advertising Mana
ger of the News and Observer, made va
cant by the resignation in the summer
of Mr. Richard Battle. who was easily
one of the most capable advertising man
ayers the State has known.
Mr.. Bagley has had much experience
in the newspaper business, having been
at one time editor of the Raleigh Times
Visitor, held a position on the staff OF
the Richmond News. and had experience
as Washington correspondent. For the
past two years Mr.. Bagley has been with
the Seaboard Air Line and in that time
has had three promotions. His training
in the railroad service and his news
paper experience give him peculiar fit
ness for his important position on the
News and Observer.
Mr. Bagley's many friends in North
Carolina will rejoice to welcome him
back to his native home and the News
and Observer reioices in adding Mr.. Bag
ley to its stan.

Surely Mr.. Busbee does not think this

the first opinion which was against the
railroad. or Judge Douglas who wrote the
SECOND opinion which was against the
railroad. In his opinion Justice Douglas
said:

Politics and Politicians.

In yesterdays News and Observer
there was a queer mistake in that the
extract from the clear-cut and excellent
speech made in Charlotte by Hon. James
H. Pou was by error put in the speciaf
from Statesville and appeared as por-
tion of the speech made in that place by
Hon. Edward w. Pou. This explanation
is made in justice 10 both these gentle
men. Unexplained the people of Char
lotte and Statesville might think that
together these talented brothers have
only one speech and that they make it
at different towns.
I Mr. James II. Pou left yesterday after
noon for Burlington, where he spoke
last night. If he got chance at the
same crowd that Pritchard addressed,
Burlington will give an immense Demo-
cratic majority. OF his speech at Char
lotte, the Observer says:
"Mr. James H. Pou spoke co very
appreciative audience at the court
house last night. He made one of the
most attractive campaign speeches ever
made in Charlotte. He was forceful al
ways and sarcastic at times. His die
ton was chaste and his argument logical.
Those who heard Mr.. Pou left the hall
lauding his effort
Messrs. Sam Webb and Robert l..
Holt. of Alamance, who have been at
tending the Fair, said yesterday after
noon before leaving that though the
opposition had waged a very hard cam
paign in that county and spent a pile
of money, Alamance would certainly go
Democratic next Tuesday. They agreed
that the lowest majority would be 300,
but thought it would go over 500 upon a
full vote

CAN MONEY EXPIATE CRIME2
Fayetteville Observer.
Says Mrs. FELTON, in the Atlanta Jour-
nal:
THE cherry tree swindle got into court
some months ago and the court put some
of the principals in Jail. and the Federal
court in Greensboro, N. c., settled the
trouble on the 7th day OF October, (pres-
ent month"; by making Preacher Wright
and his two partners pay five thousand
dollars as restitution money at this time
and five thousand additional at the De-
cember term is called for. Otherwise, f.
would have been penftentiary sentence.
They are still serving term in jail
to their great chagrin. 1t is possible
that these cherry tree coalitionists were
not expecting or intending to become
thieves when they started out, but they
must have understood they were getting
something for nothing when the money
from their dupes began to pour inland
the result shows they took in consider
able money when they are forced to re-
store $4,000, inside of two months"
What a multitude of evils have follow
ed in the train of the victory of the
North over the South Before that I'M
happy time, the people OF this fair land
were taught that crime could not be ex-
plated or the status of the criminal, as
such, be changed'by the enforced restitu-
ton of money. All, if the pulpit would
thunder forth it's denunciations of this
most awful of evils, the growing idea
that money, not contrition, can wash
away the stain of sin!

AN INSULTING FALSE ASSERTION.

AN INSULTING FALSE ASSERTION.
Monroe Enquirer.
The Charlotte Observer says: "If the
people of North Carolina would vote as
they think Judge Clark would be de-
feated by 100000 instead of being elected
by that figure, as his friends claim he
will be. But they haven't got the sand -
It's the first time we have ever heard
that the people of North Carolina did
not have sand enough to act as they
thought best. The men of North Caro-
lima may think wrong and at times not
act for their best interest, but the OBJ
server, with it's insulting assertion THAI
the men of North Carolina have not got
the sand to vote as they think, does not
change matters in the least. Whatever
may be said of the people of North
Carolina no one can truthfully say that
they lack sand. In peace and in war
the meh of North Carolina have been
noted for that courage which goes to
make up a brave, noble and patriotic
manhood. They think for themselves
and act as they think best, and do not
go against their best reason, as the OBJ
server charges. There is yet a great
deal of thinking done in North Caroline
outside of the Observer office, and it is
done by men who have sand enough to
vote exactly as they think and as they
please We have not seen such an un-
warranted, unreasonable, uncalled for
assertion in any paper during this cam
paign as that of the Observer. stating
that the people of North Carolina will
not vote as they think. But we know
that some times men, after making a
desperate effort in behalf of a candidate,
and seeing defeat staring them in the
face, make assertions that they would
condemn in more sober moments, and we
believe that's the way of the Observer
just now.

he should, collect a $50 license tax yearly
from each grain distillery in the county.
There are about 80 distilleries and the
Sheriff reported only one as having paid.
This means some 81, 500 increase in the

The Republicans in this state and their

ter Clark the highest compliment ever
paid candidate, in that they put him
down as the whole Supreme court or
North Carolina. Every decision OF the
Supreme court of our State. which does
not suit the Hillites. is laid at Judge
Clarks door and he is held solely re-
sponsible for it. 1t takes a big man to
absolutely control the opinion of four
other men, one of them his superior in
office, and two of them at daggers point
with him for trying to have them inn
peached. To read the literature sent out
by the Hillites one would never know
that there are four meg besides Judge

How can the Republicans look at this

the South. You put a tariff on machin-
cry. Before 1875 the price of quinine
was five dollars an ounce. After a fight
of two years, the Democrats got it put on
the free list and now it is no more than
60 cents an ounce.
Two thirds of our cotton is sold in

has to come to it. Yet the American
tariff says you can't sell one yard of
your manufactured products here. When
you want to know how a farmer is get

twenty thousand. The parade was the
most beautiful ever witnessed in that
city on a similar occasion. The pageant
was the greatest, possibly, Raleigh has
ever witnessed. The capital city certain
ly did herself proud on this occasion.
The exhibits at the Fair were good, and
many of them far surpassed those OF
previous years. 1t is great gathering
and commingling of the people, not only
from all parts of this State, but from

Fair this year is a great success, ana
