The conductor expostu lated but the manwas firm and could not be prevailed upon to accept the money. Finally the coictor gave up in j despair, not knowing whether he or j the passenger was crazy, but inclined ! to the latter belief.

Souther Democrats want a real State curr ncy, one under the con trol of the State. Northern demo crats may agree to State banks but they want all currency issues under the supervision of the national gov ernment. The latter idea is simply a modification of the present national banking system, a system for which the Democratic party has no good feeling. Durham Globe. If corruption stalks about the na tional capital as is reliably asserted the veto power should go. Certain ly one President could more easily be induced to knock a good bill in the head than a House and a Senate could be induced to defeat it. Our State has never come to grief-for want of a governor's veto and some of our national grief might be avoid ed if there was no Presidential veto. Clinton Democrat.

That is very bad for Kansas. We think no Southern State would be so unani mous in declaring that farming is a failure.

People who have been disappointed in Mr. Cleve- Hill as the representative of those tle ments in politics which they conceive Mr. Cleveland lacks. This exhibi tion of Monday shows them that they are chasing a phantom. It shows, again, that the North Carolina dele gation at Chicago in 1892 was exact ly right when it refused to attach it self to the foi tunes of either, of these men but "threw away" the vote cf the, State on Adlai, who hasn't disap pointed any reasonable Democratic expectation, as yet.

Greensboro Patriot: John Snow, of Surry, acquitted in the Federal Court at Greensboro, charged with making blockade whiskey, passed through Winston to-day almost a raving maniac. He conceived the idea that the officers were after him and would take him to Albany peni tentiary. His friends had hard work to keep him in the train when it stopped. He said he wanted to hide in the woods from the officers . Winston Sentinel : Winstori has a "hard-headed" negro and he is an old man, too. He gave an exhi bition in front of the post office last evening which convinced a large crowd that his cranium was about equal to a "negro-head" rock. For five cents he split an inch : plank over his forehead and' it only required three strokes to do the work.' The old man offered to "butt" with any body in the crowd but be found no "takers." Nothing short of a Billy goat would do to compete with the old negro. '- . ' Raleigh North Carolin'an : A most pitiful case was discovered near here last Friday morning." It was that of an old man, . seventy-eight years of age, lying by the roadside, who says his name is J. E. .Vinton, and that he is from Wisconsin, but was born in New York. He has had the rank of Colonel, and was once a grand worthy chief templar in his State. He says he has a son in a bank in Nebraska. He was found by Mr. Will Allen and was taken to the county home, where- he will be cared for. Tarboro Southerner: Mr. J. F. Robertson was in town last week on his way to Martin county to visit his relations. Fifty years ago twenty five or thirty families left Martin county for Tennessee, among whom was Mr. Robertson and his family. Since that time he has been living at Crocket Mills, Tenn. He is now an old man, and when here last week, said he would not have known Tar boro at all. He made the trip from Martin county to i ennessee in a wagon.
