VOL. XXIII. WELDON, N. C, T II U ItS DAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1892. NO. 22 EN FIELD. Mr. Vu.'i:Vu-j, I). ii.-i-ivtie nomin-re of this disuiot (ct Congress, made a very fine speech hero Inst Wednesday, and mark what I say: Ho will get there, and will make a good Representative, lion. James II. Hon, of .1 ulmtoii county, also addressed the cilia :os that day in a speech of' two hours duration. It was a masterly effort and will do much ood. He paid a fine tiibute to (j rover ( lev land as a friend to the farmer and people. He explained the free Coinage of silver so thoroughly, that everybody could see the point. He said it will only enrich the silver mine owners and Wall slreeS 111 u. That they can take sixty-eight cents worth of silver and get a dollar for it, or have it coined into a dollar free, of charg;, while we have 1 00 coots for a dollar. And what, good will it do the South? Since Columbus discovered America up to the present time only $l(iO,l)ll(J worth of silver has been mined in the South just enough to pay the guano bill of Halifax county ior one year. Some rogues triod to lirnk in Mr. L. T. Whitakor's dwelliitg on last, Friday night, while ha was from home. The lames lortuuately heard tiiem ana rang the dinner bell. Mr. Tom Hunter; the nearest neighbor, heard the alarm and ran over, with his gun, but the rascals were gone bofore ho got there.

The ('it veiatid and I'arr club here have decided to erect a Hag pole about 1 00 feet high. The Hag to cost not less than $2.V(l6 and not more than SG0.00. The members are in earnest, and will do good work in this campaign. Delegates will be elected next meeting to attend the rally of the State clubs, to he held at Halt ih ou the tilth of September. Who took the white mule? This ques tion was asked lots of times here Monday morning. Some of the boys, just fur fun, took a mule from one tree and tied him nbout 100 yards to another, last Sunday night about. 11 o'clock. The owuer of the animal could not fiud him, until shout eight o'clock next morning. He happened to ask one of the boys, that moved the mule, if ho knew anything abeut it, and he told all about it, and who was concerned iu it. Warrants were taken out, and four young mcu were ar rested and carried before J. J. Robertson Esq., fureruel'y to animals. They sub mitted the case. Judgment was suspend ed by payment of cost, which amounted to 6-1. !(0 each. Now yen cannot hear much else on the street but, while mule, heating the record, making it in 1 !). Bon was not in it. The third party had a speaking here last Saturday. It was a very small af fair Th"v hav- nothing to argue about.. Wlif.t complaint can they have of the great Evinoeiittic party? They love to dwell on the silver bill, hut dou't know the meaning of it. A great many of our would be reformers are like tho man who stays up all night trying to get the peo ple to go to bed. M. LITTLETON, Mrs. Lawrence Johnston and Miss Lucy Johnston, of Tarboro, are visiliu Mis. J. W. Bobbitt, near this place. Hugh Hloommer, of Riugwood, who has bt-;i visiting relatives in this place, returned home last Sunday.

On Friday August -'tit h there was a meeting of the citizens of Iiiinkleyvillo township for the purpose of forming a Democratic club, known as the Iliug wood Cleveland and Carr Club. There was a good gathering and every one seemed iu dead earnest, and showed a willingness to work for the good of our country. 'file following is a list of officers: W. T. Williams, President. J. M. Weller, It. A. l'attersou, T. 11. Tavlor. Sydney William. Dr. O. E. Matthews! W. 1'. Sledge, Viva-Presidents. V. A. Williams and J. II. Norman, Secretin ics. Our Execulitc Committee is com posed of twelve good earnest workers. The club meets every Friday at 3 p. m. There were enrolled at the first meeting G(i membeis, all of whom are true blue Democrats. Our people are becoming more and more in earnest about the importance of good iroverniuent. Wo must stand together. This is no timo to it. r.very vote east lor a w cavern e is a vote i'or Harrison and a fore bill. My white friends 1 call ou all of you to taml by the grand old Democratic party. If you do this, success is certainly ours. MONDAY AirafST 2!TH. To-day we hat! sticiikinri here by the Third party. Tender, the editor of the llattlei, from Whiliikeis. blow his horn about 1 hours with the weakest and puniest subjects T ever heard. I am sure of this fact, he added no new members. But 1 feel certain his speech has been the means of adding members to the Democratic party. J'. A. Thome tried to explain the good of the Third party, but a'l iu vain. Their speaking here was a com plete failure. Vender spoke until his own followers had to call him down. But for the fact of the crowd wanting to hear what the others had to say, in less than one hour Fender would not have had one hearer. His speech no duubt has weakened his strongest followers. In fact I heard sowe strong Third party mcu say alter his speech that they were now as good Democrats as they ever were. Dr. G. E. Matthews will address the people to day at King's Hill Essex iu the interest of the Democratic paity. May much good be accomplished, lie know Dr. M., is O. K, and may his good influence bring many wanderers back home. W. THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES THE RECORDS OF TWO MOKE SHOWN ONE CA.N'Eli ANH MESOl '.WEI) AN" OTHElt'si CHURL CONDUCT TOWAUD AN AtiED PARENT. K. A. Cobb, Third party candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is well and most unfavorably known in Cleveland Co. w hcie lie married aud lived lor several years. About the close of the war he was im pressing officer for the tithe gatherer rnd inflicted great suffering around here. Amongst others from whom he impressed stores, was Mrs. Micajah Durham, widow of a soldier who had enlisted as a substi tute and was killed in the service and mother of the lamented Capt. Plato Dur ham. Cobb took from her about a dozen hogs and drove them to Shelby, whtre he kept them sometime after the war. Capt. Plato Durham did not know of this until his return after the surrender, when ho met Cobb on the street and de nounced tho latter as a hog thief and gave him a severe tuning. This fact can be tubstantiated by dozens of prominent itizers of Cleveland county. Dr. L. N. Durham, People's party can didate for Secretary of State, has a rec- era tor uenrtlessncs.s ana peniinousness that is hard to surpass. Iu 1878 Dr, Durham's father, Lemuel Durham, aged 79 years, lost his mind, and although he had a plantation of 213 acres on which he paid taxes and his son was at that time practicing dentistry aud returned his property for taxation at $1,9-7, an effort was made by him to have the old man sent. to the insane asylum. Failing in this, the son appeared before the county commissioners and obtained an order al lowing tho old man $100 por year. This sum was paid for nina mouths and twen ty-two days, when death put an end to the old man's sufferings. - THE FAIR. TO UK IHCLI) on novum kick I, ti, AN 1)4, XKXT.

Jackson, is that he mairied. successively, live sisters belonging to em: of the most wealthy and distinguished families in the State. When tho Governor asked the old father's consent to marry the last sister the venerable gentlemau, answered: "Yes, Claib, you can have her; you have now got them all.

Ahvnance Ghana: Thomas B. Long is the nominee of the People's paity on the State ticket for Auditor. Mr. Long was the agent for the North Carolina Railroad at Salisbury from August, 1S08, to October 18G9, a little over one year. He bad giveu a bond in the turn of 810,000 for the faith ful ami honest conduct of the duties pcr- uning to this trust. The railroad com pany discovered by and by that their agent was not making full and complete returns of the. proceeds of the office. He was dismissed from service, end an inves tigation instituted which developed the fact that he had been unfaithful to the employing company to tho tune of several thousand dollars. An action was instituted by the' com pany to recover the amount of lit defal cation. The suit was brought in this, Alamance county, it being the domicile of the company, and upon trial a verdict was rendered by a jury for the sunt of .,!. 'il. 94 against defendant Long in favor of the plaintiff company. All the records of tho prott'citieg, judgment ami all, are now on liie in tho offic of the (,'!,;rlc of the Superior Court uf Altmar.ee, county. Anil thejudgmeut has not been satisfied to this day. Several years ago, when said Thomas B. Long began to aspire to' political hon ors, ho went to Col. Thomas M. Holt, then president of the N. C. R. 11 Co., now Governor of our Commonwealth, and asked the company's best terms for the adjustment of the matter. Col. Holt proposed to remit all interest and to ac cept fifty cents on the dollar as full satis faction of tho judgment. Mr. Long said the proposition was liberal and satisfactory, and that he would pay it off. Already several years have elapsed Mr. Long has not paid a penny of it. Such is the record of tho man aud former Republican whom the People's party has nominated for State Auditor, whose business it is, briefly stated, to manure the fimsneesof the State. Should sueh a man be chosen to take charge of the State's finances, how long would it be before he would bankrupt the State'.' A defaulter to manage the finances of the State would be a public disgrace aud ca lamity. The people who believe in holi est government aud faithful public ser vants sl.o';!t see to it that only honut and c.ipaL'le men are nouiiuated and elect ed to office. DIVISION Or L.VIiOK.

The odor of pennyroyal is '.he most effective thing to drive away uiosepiitoes. The essential oil sold in the drug stores is baldly so effectual as thu 1'ivsli herb itself. A bouquet ot thu flagrant herbs will usually drive away this troublesome pest. The best autidote for the bile of a mosquito is undoubtedly ammonia, weakened with a little water or salt and water. Some people go so far as to prcsi the poison nut of the bite with some small metal instrument like the point of a watch key, before applying the antidote. This prevents the painful swelling that sometimes occurs. There are a great many objections t-j mosquito bars; the chief of which is the sense of suffocation which their use co- genders. They keep out mosquitoes, but they also keep out the pure, fresh air. NKW ADVERTISEMENTS. POWI Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder. Highest of all in leavening sticngth. Latent U. S.
