Charlotte Democrat. CHARLOTTE. N. C. Frank 1. Osborne. Frank Irwin Osborne, tbe democratic nominee for attorney general, was born at Charlotte May 29, 1853. He is a son of the late judge Jamea W. Osborne and Mary A. Osborne, who was a daughter of John Irwin, a prominent merchant, broker and planter of Mecklenburg county. Mr. Osborne was educated at Davidson college, where he graduated in 1872. takincr a high stand. Ho then took a special course at the University of . . 1 I I A Virginia, so that ne was wen prepareu iu begin the study of the law, which was his chosen profession, and for which, in the estimation of bis friends, he was peculiarly qualified. In 1873 he began the study ot law at Richmond Hill, Yad kin county, under chief justice Pearson. He remained there two years, applying himself closely to his studies, and laying well tho foundation for the useful life which was before him. It was a con ceded fact, among Mr. Osborne's fellows at judge Pearson's, that he was the equal, if not the superior, in legal attainment of any man at the school ; and judge Pearson himself entertained for him the highest personal regard and often took occasion to speak of his superior ability and especially of his aptitude for the law. In 1875 Mr. Osborne was licensed by the Supreme Court and located at once in Charlotte, the place of his birth, and entered immediately upon a large and lucrative practice of the law, which has grown until it extends, at the present time, through all the counties in his immediate section. Shortly after begin ning the practice, he associated himself with Mr. W. (J. Maxwell, ot Ubarlotte. He stands in the very front rank of his profession, where he has practiced among the lawyers at the Charlotte bar. He is acknowledged to bo the equal of the ablest and most learned of them all. He was elected solicitor of tho 6th judicial district (now the 11th) in 1882, receiving the nomination from the convention, although he was not a candidate for the place. So acceptably did ho fill the position, and so able and faithful was he in representing the interests cf the State, that in 1886 and again in 1890 ho was renominated and elected without the slightest opposition. As solicitor he was a "power in the land." Of him it may bo truly feaid ho "let no guilty man escape." Not only does ho possess ability of the finest type and powers far above the average, but he has, in addition to a wise bead, a warm heart and is full ot generous impulses. He was happily married in 1878 to Miss Mary Dewey, the accom plished daughter of tho late Thomas D. Dewey, of Charlotte, and in his private life, among his friends and asnociatcs, the gentle and refining and cultivated influ ences of home are plainly visible The Democratic party in nominating Mr. Osborno for tho offico of attorney general placed her banner in tho hands of a gontloman, a scholar, an orator and a faithful party man. Raleigh Chronicle. The Mt. Washington Search Light. Portland, Mo., Juno 18. General Manager Tucker of the Maine Central Railroad says the necessary money for placing and proposed electric search light on the top of Mount Washington has been subscribed. The light will be the highest and strongest in tho world, and will be seen from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and Canada. The Richmond & Danville.

By decree of the Circuit Court of tho United States for the Eastern District of Virginia, the Western District of North Carolina and tho Western District of South Carolina, tho undersigned have been appointed Receivers of all the rail roads, property, assets and money of said corporation, with instructions to take immediate possession of all such rail roads, property, books, papers and accounts, and hold and operate tho said railroads.

The New York Tribune and the Printers. Tho union printers will mako no typo graphical or political mistake if they shall take their sticks and knock Whitelaw Reid's Vice-Presidential form into pie. If there has been a distinct and persistent enemy of organized labor in America it is the aristocratic millionaire owner and editor of the New York Tribune. His recent so called arrangement with typo graphical union No. 6, of New York.is too plainly a political iraud to aeceive any honest man. The man who has been running his paper with "rats" for many years cannot, by alleged instantaneous conversion, fool tho printers of this country. During the Blaine campaign of 1888, bis office became a union omce, but be returned to tbe "rat system immedi atelv after the election. An intelligent printer is a hard man to fool, Mr Reid. Raleigh Chronicle. Opposed to Mr. Whitelaw Reid. Bur lington, la., June 15. The Trade and Labor Assembly of Burlington, la., have adopted resolutions scoring Whitelaw Reid as an outspoken enemy of organized labor, a hypocrite, and an unmitigated fraud, and protesting against tbe action of Typographical Union No. 6 of New York city for endorsing him for Vice President. 'The organization contains several hundred workingmen of all po litical beliefs. The Progress of the Split. Tho Third party is forging ahead. It will prove a potential factor in electing Republicans and bringing back into power tbe Radicals who despoiled and ruined in tho past. They are putting candidates in the field for the U. S. House. We are surprised to see our old personal friend, Captain Edward A. Thorne, of Halifax county, nominated for Congress from the Second District. We hope it is without his consent. We would be pro foundly sorrowful to see him in such bad company. In the Fifth District the. Third party has nominated one W.R. Lindsay for the Congress in opposition to Captain Baldy Williams, present Alliance Representa tive. Tho Third party in the Fourth will nominate.a candidate for the Federal House on 12th pros. It also decided to put full county and State tickets in the field. The milk in the cocor.nut is found in the statement that tho Republican leaders assure tho Third party fellows that their party will have no ticket in tho field. What does that mean ? Anything to beat the Democrats. That is all. The Republicans will swallow all the Third party favors, and do this to split up and defeat the Democracy and finally control North Carolina. Smart Radicals! And the white men are playing right into the hands of the black and tan. We said rightly weeks ago that tho Third party was only an annex of the Radicals. Watch the corks and you will see just what sort of fish will bite at tho hook now being thrown into the water by the Third party fanatics. Any men who are trying to give party aid and comfort to the Third party disintegrators are not only no Democrats at heart, but they are the enemies of the white race of North Carolina. Wilmington Messenger. . - . - - Sending out Samples. "I wonder . whether one person in a thousand who asks for a sample of a piece of dry goods ever stops to think what it costs the merchants of this country a year to satisfactorily respond to the simple request ?" asked the manager of one of Chicago's greatest dry goods houses the other day as he opened the thirty-eighth request found in a single mail. "I bad a talk with tho managers of a dozen or more big houses not long ago," ho continued, "and among other things discussed was that of giving away samples and sending out samples of dry goods, etc., by salesmen. Finally wo got to figuring on the matter. "lhe result was most appalling, borne of us had been connected with big fac torfes in our time, as well as other largo houses, wholesale and retail. Wo found that, placed at a conservative figure, there are more than $3,000,000 worth of goods given away, and consequently de stroyed in samples every year in tho United states. "When you corao to figure this out it means an average of 5 cents apiece for every man, woman and child, including all the babies, in tbe United States. "This $3,000,000 or more, eventually, of course, comes out of the pockets of the purchasers, or, more properly speaking, tho consumers ot dry goods, lhe sample feature of the dry goods business is at once one of the greatest nuisances and blessings that wo have. Where tho nuisance comes in is easily to be seen ; tho blessing of it is in tho fact that it saves us, or, I should sav, the dearly- beloved people, many a thousand dollars which otherwise would go for the ex- penso of sending out more travelling salesmen. Thousands of dollars' worth of goods are sent out every day to retail customers over the country from which we never hear a word. But do we lose it? Oh, no never! We simply count upon it as being so much clear loss or necessary expense, along with clerk hire, taxes, etc., and ask the more for the goods that we sell." Chicago Herald. M Mb. McKinley's Mouldy Chestnut. What McKinley said upon taking the chair is extremely commonplace and has been repeated by him a hundred times. "We propose to raise our money for public expenses," he said, "by taxing the products ot other nations rather than by taxing the products of our own." Why, then, was the duty on raw sugar repealed That is the product of other nations. We received $50,000,000-, ot revenue trom those sugar-producing countries, accord ing to the McKinley idea, by taxing their products. Tbe Treasury is sadly in want of that revenue at this time. There will be abundant opportunity between now and November for McKinley and others to explain why they thus exempted foreigners from a tax of $50,000,000 which the said foreigners had been paying for many years without the slightest com plaint. Evening Post. The Philadelphia Times accuses Albion W. Tougee of going on another "fool's errand." His latest sensation is a prediction of blood shed in defense of those suffering at tho hands of lynchers. The Times says : "There are . now few lawless outragos committed against the blacks of the South Axcept in .the lynching, of colored brutes who criminally assault. women. While all considerate persons condemn the resort to lynch law, few individually condemn the sudden and swift retribution that is now generally visited upon colored men for the offense referred to : and the like lynching of a negro recently in New York btate, just over the border of Pennsylvania teaches that tbe South is not alone in applying the swiftest and most violent punishment for the protec tion of women. The Railroad Commission. The News and Observer says that in the case of Fairly against the Carolina Central and other railroads where order was made by the railroad not to give through bills ot lading to Liverpool for less than 50 bales of cotton, after complaint was made the regulation was withdrawn by tho rail road company and bills are now issued for lief number ot bales : it appearing that re any has boen granted no further action was taken by the Commission. The Commission has received a letter from Mr. J. R. Kenly of tho Wilmington & Weldon Railroad saying that he would at once proceed to provide suitable depot accommodations at Wilson in conformity to the order of the Commission. And it is also learned that better accommodations will at once bo provided Burlington, a contract having been let ; also at Marion a neat new depot has been provided in response to complaints from that point.

Roxboro Courier. Third Party Convention. Previous announcements had put the curious" on the qui vive to witness the anomaly of a Third Party convention in Rockingham Thursday. The day, though hot as blazes, was calm and serene, and the streets were bare save now and then a few straglers. When the bell in the tower of the court house tapped a few minutes before the hour of 12 some of the "curious" repaired thither to witness the proceedings of tho Third Party Con gressional Convention of the Sixth dis trict. But lo and behold ! the clans re presenting five counties, it is said, ten to fifteen in number, had gathered and wero doing business in ono of the jury rooms with closed door. Consequently the "curious" had to retire and we are not apprised as to what was done further than no nomination was made for Con gress, that being deferred for future action. W. H. OJom, of Anson, was elected delegate to Omaha, and J. M. Hines, of Richmond, alternate. Lecturer R. B. Hunter, of Mecklenburg, was elected Presidential elector for the Sixth Con grcssional district. Two of the delegates rom Anson were colored B. J. Pratt and J. J. H inson. Y. C. Morton, of Rocking ham, was chairman. Sic transit gloria mundi. Rockingham South. A Kingdom in Ohio. Zoar, O., is the abiding place of a mystic band of German Communists who hold all property in common, tho place being a miniature kingdom within itself. The people, who call themselves Zoarites, own 7,000 acres of land which all lies in one body, about half of the tract being in a high state of cultivation. The original Zoarite purchase was 10,000 acres, but 3,000 have Bince been sold at a high figure. ivery article, implement, device, contriv ance or machine used, wrought with or employed in Zoar, is of Zoarite manufac ture, and tho same may be said of every article worn or eaten, with tho exceptions of coffee, tea and spices. Tho shoes the Zoarites wear are made by their own shoemakers irora leather prepared by their own tanners from hides taken from cattle bred and raised on the great community cattle iarm. The coal which warms them and cooks their food is dug irom tneir own mines anu is Durneu in ! 1 1 stoves cast in their own foundry, from iron smelted in their own furnaces, from ore found in abundance on their own lands. They have community tailors, bakers, weavers, butlermakers, cheese- makers and all other useful artisans and tradesmen. Tho tailor uses nothing but Zoarite cloth made by tho Zoarite weaver from wool sheared from Zoarite sheep Tho same may be said of the whole catalogue of manufacturers, which certain ly gives to Zoar distinctive characteristics unknown to any other American city or community. There is no question about the fact that the status of the feeling of the people of the boutb, which has been work ed up by tho calamity howlers, is keeping a lot of capital from investing in our midst. It is a crime in the opinion of tbe calamity howlers to possess capital and those who have money and wfould invest in our midst, and help to build up our na tive land, are met at the threshhold with such pleasant greeting as "you are a plu tocrat," "a bloated bond-holder," "a rob ber," "you are robbing the poor toiling masses and wealth producers and every other such encomium known to language. jno wonaer tnen that money is scarce, when we hire speakers to traverse the country and howl it all away. So long as we keep up such a howl against money. how can we expect to have any in the country. That is simply tho common sense size of it. Wo are not content even just to howl ourselves, but we want to pay out the tew cents we have left to hire somebody else to help us howl. "What fools wo mortals be." Wilkesboro Chroni cle. t2f Fourteen years ago Mr. Garfield, then benator, afterwards President, in discussing the Pension question, estimated $38,000,000 as the possible maximum, and predicted a speedy decrease from this. If Mr. Garfield were alive now, he would realize what a poor prophet he was on this line. The appropriations for the next fiscal year amount to $135,000,000, and this will be several millions short of meeting the requirements. It is esti mated by those who have given the subject study and have access to the records for investigation, that it will re quire $160,000,000 to meet the demands for pensions next year at the rate at which claims are being allowed now, and as the Republican convention at Min neapolis declared in favor of "libera pensions" there is no probability that any backward step will be taken or that they will be less liberal than they have been About tho only thing that will modify this "liberality" will be the capacity of the Government to raise money. This is a matter in which the people of the whole country are interested, but especially the people of the South for fully nine tenths of the money paid out for pensions is paid out on the other side ot tbe line, and goes into circulation there, while the South, which pays its full proportion of tne aggregate amount aoes not see a decimal part of it in return.

Tbo statement that has gained cur rency to the effect that the suit brought by the commissioners ot Uleveiana coun ty against the S. & W. Air Line railroad before the state railroad commissioners to annul the charter of the railroad, has been compromised, is incorrect and misleading. As a matter of fact there has been no compromise. The commissioners have a suit pending in the superior court of Cleveland county which involves the Questions at issue before the railroad com missioners, and asked leave of the rail road commissioners to withdraw their appeal, "without prejudice," until after the decision of tho courts is had. This permission was granted and tho action withdrawn. asneiDy Aurora. N. C. Weather Crop Bulletin. Central Office Raleigh, N. C. The reports of correspondents of the weekly weather crop Bulletin issued by tbe North Carolina State weather service for the week ending Monday.

Wheat is reported at many places as the best crop for years. Har vesting commenced last week and has been pushed rapidly during this week. Rust, which had attacked the blade in a few places, did not have time to affect the grain. Oats also will yield an excel lent crop. Corn, upland and lowland, in good condition : laying by commenced.

Battle, Director. C. F. von Herrmann, ) Assifanfl . Roscoe Dunn, j Assistants. HsH?" It is a regrettable fact that thou sands. of feet of good timber are wasted yearly in clearing lands which are to be used for farming. The antiquated habit. indulged in by early settlers in a wild country, ot telling and burning small trees and cutting others at tbe base to kill them uas commended itself to a largo proportion of farmers clearing up new land, merely from the fact that it requires less exertion than any other way ot ira proving ground. The onty excuse which ever was offered for such a proceeding was that tho expense and labor of felling large trees could not bo repaid, as there was no market tor the timber within rea sonable distance. This argumor.t has long since been void, as there is now hardly a section of the country far enough Irom a ratting stream or railroad to pre elude the possibility of sending to a saw mill such timber as wouid be cleared from new land. This clearing can be done in tbe fall when there is little other work on hand, and during the winter the timber can be hauled to the most convenient point for shipping. In this season farmer has comparatively little on his hands, and it certainly is a wise policy to use his time, stock and labor in a work which will both yield him a return equa to tbo amount be expends and at the Bamo timo thoroughly clear the land he wishes to add to the productive portion oi ma iarm. Manufacturers Record. Crops Though the States. From an extensive personal observation of the growing crops of the State, and from reliable information obtained in other directions, Commissioner Robinson has arrived at tho following conclusions as to the crop outlook at present: While the growing corn is not large.it is healthy, and stands are fairly good and indicate a fair yield. With the largely increased acreage tbe indications are that tbe pres ent corn crop will be sufficient for all tbe demands of our people. Tbe preparation for tbe cotton crop has been as a general thing, unusually good, therefore tbe planting was well done. The stands are good, tbe crop is healthy and in a grow ing condition, and with favorable weather tbe present crop will be a hne one per acre. 1 am still of tbe opinion that the crop ot 1892 is 30 per cent, less than the crop of 1891. The wheat crop, but for tbe heavy rains of the forepart of this month, would have been the heaviest for years past per acre, lhe indications are still tor a good crop. lhe oat crop is good in certain locali ties, in others it is poor. A summary of our correspondence, however, shows it to be nearly 89 per cent of a full crop. The preparation for a tobacco crop has been unusually large and tbo crop is doing well. The indications are that the yield will be, porhaps, tho largest ever produced in tbe btate. As indicated in the May bulletin, the fruit crop, wnilo it is not a full one, will be an ample sufficiency for all local demands generally, and if tho crop should be carelully husbanded there will be much to spare, and we would indicate to all our good housewives to look carefully after all fruits in their line and the result will doubtless be satisfactory to them. lhe indicated increase production oi rr on hogs is encouraging. With breaastuns and meat plentiful, our people will be on tho high road to permanent prosperity. Upon the whole, the conclusion is that there is a much better day ahead tor our armers. John P. Mason's Heroic Deed. Lynchburg, Va., June 16. This morn ing John P. Mason, a large and very muscular man, was riding about three miles from the city on the Lexington turnpike, when he was startled by the screams of a woman in a field nearby. Mason jumped oft his horse and ran to the field and found a large brindle bull goring a colored woman. The woman was on the ground and tbe bull was making desperate lunges at her. Mason jumped tbo fence and ran to tho woman's assistance. When within a few feet of the infuriated animal tbe bull saw him, and left tbe woman and charged him. Mason grabbed the bull's horns, and by a sudden twist threw the animal headforemost, and in the fall the bull broke his neck and died almost instantly. The woman was found not to be badly hurt, but her clothes were literally torn to pieces, and she would have been killed in a tew minutes. Mason is well known, is considered one of the strongest men in this section, and is very courageous. Richmond Dispatch. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
