The re-districting of this State
by the last Legislature, we think in
some respects the proper thing to
have done. although the State was
large enough and comprised coun-
ties sufficient for the re-districting,
why would it have not been a bet
ter policy to increased the number
of districts, thereby reducing the
laborious duties of the congressman
elect, barring his political belieff
The voters and all citizens in
general are much interested in the
election of the congressman of
their respective districts, and to
him they look for honest and just
legislation SO far as is in his power,
The candidates for congress Sc
lected by the different Democratic
conventions are men of splendid
business qualifications and have
signified their intentions to redeem
the State and correct the wrong
doings of their opponents. and if
this is dore all praise will be given
them.
True, men have been elected to
represent their respective districts
in this honorable body, who voted
for the interests of the common
people, while there are others who
held an open hand for the magnates
to fill and which was greatfully re-
ceived.
Dishonest representatives no
doubt will hereafter be Stunned
by every honest and liberty loving
American citizen, and foolish and
uncalled for extravaganza and ab-
solute wastefulnes of public mon
ey will end.
although the United States gov
eminent is one of the wealthiest
and most prosperous nations on the
globe it is not necessary or peril
nent that men should be placed in
a position whereby they are en-
powered to further suppress the

Gone with the Man She Loved
Best.


In her bridal robe Miss Iyie
Thompson. one of the most beauti-
full girls of Randolph county, fled
from her home while the BRIDE
groom, with the wedding guests,
waited in the drawing room for her.
Bounding into waiting carriage
at the door. the fleeing bride fell
into the arms of Will Rennix, the
man she loved best. Rennix LASH
ed the horse into gallop, and be-
fore Philip FL. Wolfong realized
that his bride had deserted him the
clippers got start, and pursuers
mounted on swift horses could not
oyertake them. Rennix won his
bride by a lightning dash to the rail-
way station just in time to catch
the Cumberland train, and when
old John Thompson. the father of
the girl, and the deserted BRIDE
groom reached Cumberland on the
next train Ivie triumphantly dis
played a bit of parchment signed
by parson, which set forth that
she was Mrs. William r. Rennix."
