Monroe Journal: A gentleman
who has figured it out says that not
less than $4,000 is spent in Union
County each> year for whiskey, and
more than $4,000 for tobacco
The recent election held in Union
County on the dispensary question
was perhaps the first election held in
the State under the provisions. of the
Amendment. In it the negro cut no
figure whatever. Apparently he has
retired from politics without a strug-
gle, and now white men decide ques-
tions at the ballot box.
Greensboro dispatch: The local
school tax carried in jamestown Dis
trict of jamestown Township yester-
day by a majority of % votes. This
makes five districts in Guilfopd vot-
ing for the school tax, viz: Green's
boro, High Point, Guilford College,
Delane and jamestown, while petit
tions asking for an election in a
number of others are out, a district
in Deep River Township being the
next to vote. Guilford started the
ball rolling years ago, and so far has
kept ahead of any other county in
the State along this line.
Monroe Journal: There is more
than ordinary interest clinging about
the case of the Moore County con-
Wet, told of on the first page of this
paper, who, having escaped prison
and wandered for a great while in
the west, finally was drawn back
home by reason of love for his little
girl, and was there recaptured and
returned to the penitentiary. We
wouldn't have arrested that man had
the matter been in our hands. What
ever his crime was, and we are not
told, it hasn't taken all the soul out
of him.
S~tatesville Landmark: A rumor
has been prevalent for some time
that the Southern Railway, the Sea-
board Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroads, the three great
systems which traverse North Caro-
lima, will be consolidated. 1T is not
improbable that this will be done, or
attempted, as the tendency of all
large corporations is in that direc-
ton. 1t is announced, however, that
should such consolidation be attempt
ed the States of North Carolina and
Georgia, and other States penetrated
by these systems, will resist the COM
bination in the courts. Whether this
resistance will prevent the consolida-
ton is a question. The laws seems
powerless when it undertakes to deal
with large corporations.

A Yorkshire farmer was asked to

and~as he had attended the funeral
of the two others, his own wife was
rather surprised when he declined
this invitation. On being pressed,
he gave his reasons with some hesita-

- Charlotte Observer: A ukase is
said to have been issued by the pow
ers that be in Asheville that the
members of the reception committee
to meet the President must wear
high silk hats. The thing worked
beautifully with Hon. Thomas Set
tie, Col. E. P. McKissick and Mr..
Chas. McNamee, it is understood,
but the everlasting harmonies are
said to have been disturbed when the
Hon. J. Wiley Shook showed up in

Statesville Landmark: 1t should
be said in passing that the name of
Chief Justice Furches was not con-

announced that he would not be a

Furches has served on the Supreme

of those who know the man, as an
honorable, upright and just judge.

and with the American and Imperial
bidding so lively at the breaks the
farmers are in the best of spirits.
The local buyers have orders to buy
heavy regardless of prices.-Golds-
boro Headlight.
So far this season there are no
cotton seed meal or hulls on the
Charlotte market. The farmers are
feeding their cattle on the seed in
the raw state, and they say that the
results are satisfactory. They are
bringing their surplus stock to the
market and are disposing of it to the
buying agencies here at 81 cents per
bushel, the price that has prevailed
since the opening Of the season.-Ob-
server, 18th.
The round bale will very probably
be seen on the Charlotte market this
fall, as two round bale plants are
now being completed and will be in
operation next week. One is located
at Mount Mourne, and the other at
Elmwood, Iredell County. The plants
are being built by the Planters Com
press Company, of Boston. The
Mount Mourne plant will have a ca
pacity of 60 bales a day, and will be
in charge of Morrison & Mitchem,

Col. A. L. Smith returned yester-
day from a trip to his old home in
Scotland Neck. He made a particu-
lar investigation of the cotton crop
in C~abarrus, Rowan, Davidson, Gull
ford, Alamance, Durham, Orange,
Wake, Johnston, Wilson, Edgecombe
and Halifax. In each county he
found the crop in poor condition, the
plants having gone to wreck during
the past four weeks, just as they have
done in MecklenbuEg. Col. Smith
says that in the counties named not
more than half a crop will be made
Charlotte Observer, 18th.
The cotton receipts here since Au-
gust 81, are 1882 bales, against 381
to the corresponding date last year.
The price of cotton early yesterday
was 8A cents, but dropped to 8A,
the latter being the price the same
day last year. The farmers are very
bitter against the spectators who
are beating down the price. They
say the spectators are rushing cot
ton to the ports in an effort to de-
press prices. The farmers them
selves know well how short the cot
ton crop is.-Raleigh Cor. Messen-
|. ger, 18th.
The corn and cotton crops in the
county, we learn, will be much bet

North Carolina Republicans Ignore the
Negro.

There is often considerable differ
ence between the short range and a
long-range view. It may not be I'M
interesting therefore to see how the
New York Outlook looks at the
North Carolina Republican Conven-
ton:
The Republican State Convention
in North Carolina had not a single
negro among it's members-ap event
without precedent in the history OF
the State. There were several ne
groes among the ~contesting delegates
from the Black Belt-including ex-
Congressman Cheatham and j. b..
O'Hara, the eloquent negro lawyer
but in every case they were excluded
and the white contestants seated.
Only less conspicuous than the abb
sence of the negro was the presence
of prominent white business men who
we're until 1896 identified with the
Democratic party, and who until this
year have acted with that party In
local politics. From one of the cot
communicating counties eight of
ten delegates were former Demo
Gratis. In the long platform adopted
there was a plank condemning the
disfranchisement of citizens because
of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude, or demanding the
speedy test of the DISTINGUISHING
amendment before the United States
Supreme Court. On the other hand,
there was a plang condemning the
new Constitution for having worked
the disfranchisement of $4,000 white
voters in the coming election. Even
more radical than the platform IN
breaking away from the pro-negro
past of the party were the speeches
of Captain Charles Price, the per-
manent Chairman of the Convention.
In his address on taking the chair
he said that the Republicans of
North Carolina have accepted the
Constitutional amendment as a set
Element of the race issue, and chaI-
lenged his hearers "to name a respec-
table Republican in all the State who
has shown a disposition to question
that settlement" In his speech at
the close of the Convention, accord
ing to the Charlotte Observer, Chair
man Price went yet further and de-
clared that the amendment had de-
livered the Republican party from
ga body of death" Apart from it's
attitude toward the race question,
the Convention was notable for the
friendliness of it's attitude toward
great corporations, and for it's in
dorsement of an independent candi-
date for Chief Justice against Judge
Clark, the radical or "Populistic"
Democrat recently renominated by
his party. The effort to reconstruct
the Republican party in the South
on these lines will be watched with
interest all yer thee ountry.
