This gentleman must be reckoned with in ihe future. It is very evident that rthej party fealty we have known for 40 years is largely a thing of the past. Thre is always an element in every party restive , and discontented. They have heretofore remained sullenly silent in the face of things against which they are! now loudly protesting. The condi tions have all changed within the past twej years in North Carolina. The adejption of the ; amendment has released a large number who wre held within party lines, not because they believed in tha principles of the party buli for various, and sundry reasons which need not be. mentioned here. Th rank and file in both 1 parties will remain steadfast in their allegiance, because they are Democrats or Republi cans from principle, and would be such if there were no negroes in the State, but there is a considerable element in each of the parties upon whom party ties set loosely and who are ready to tumble either way according to their whims. - Then there Js another element who really believe in the principles of the; opposite party, but who have been restrained from espousing them on account of the conditions before men tioned. Now, however, the case is changed and the result is a general mixture. We are expressing no opin ion: one way or the other, but we re peat that the independent is here, and he4s going to make himself felt. GrMl Rnh For OH Stoves. New York Sun.. There has been such - a demand for oil stoves for cooking and heating within the last tew days that the man ufacturers are unable to fill the orders that have come to theml Many of these orders are from out of town, but thej city manufacturers of oil stoves are giving the preference to their city pa trons, so that the out-of-town dealers finfl it difficult to place an order at any price None of the manufacturers was Dretoared for the demand, so it is safe to say that they will not be able to fill half of the orders they, have received. Very few are now accepting new or ders. ; Anv kind of oil stove is acceptabe, whjether it is up to date or the kind used at the time oil stoves were hrst in vented; and in a majority of cases those who are buying them are paying 30 !per cent, more to the manufacturer thin thev paid last year, when there wafa no coal strike.

SOLITUDE and care ttttttttttlllllllKMMMMMMMMU Nrsroei Demand Rlgbti, A convention of negroes, "who are Republicans under all circumstaces when their rights and interests are pro tected," and who "have ever striven to uphold the National Republican par ty," will be held in Raleigh to-day to protest against the organization of the party in the State on "Lily , white" lines and to nominate a ticket in oppo vition to that of the Republican party The call for the convention is signed by a number of .well-known negroes, including former Congressmen Cheat ham and O'Hara. The complain that "our most substantial colored citizens were denied a voice in a Republican convention to which the had been duly elected, and were ordered from the floor even as spectators." Senator Pntchard is denounced as an 'ingrate to use the negroes as a step ping stone to prominence, and then by a shameful surrender accepted as final an unjust qualification to suffrage of the men that made him." The manhood of colored Republicans has been insulted, they say, and they conclude with an appeal to npgroes to Bland for the dignity of the race, say ing: "Senator Pntchard has told the Pres ident of the United States that their are 40,000 white Republicans in North Carolin. We believe, with the Popu lists added, it will not reach this figure, put it can readily be seen that he was too shrewd to nominate one white Re publican on the State ticket, knowing the negroes would not support - it, and thereby explode this falsity of 40,000 white Republicans in North Corolina. ' Only Four Ballot Boxes. Chatham Record. - At the next election there will be four ballot boxes at every precinct or voting place and every voter will be entitled to deposit four ballots, as follows: j 1. On one ballot will be the names of the candidates for Corporation Com missioner, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Justices of the Supreme Court, and Judges of the Superior Court. 2. On another ballot will be the name of the candidate for member of Con gress. ! 3. : On another ballot will jbe the names of the candidates for Solicitor, members of the General Assembly, and all the county officers. ' 1 4. And on another ballot will be the names of the candidates for township offices, such as magistrates and consta bles, d : It will be noticed that the names of the caedidates for the Legislature apd for the county officers will be on the same ballot, and not on separate bal lots as at last election. i j The ballots must be on white paper, without any device, or partly written and partly printed, so that the voter may scratch any name and write an other in its place, if he wishes to do so. A moonsnlne Still Under a Cornfield. Murphy Corresponence Charlotte Observer. Your correspondent was recently told of a moonshine still that deserves first prize for ingenuity. It was not in Cherokee county, but. not very far awav. It was in a hole under" a corn field' and up above the natural produce was waving in the breeze and ripening nrenaratorv to beine transformed into the fluid extract. The door ,was be tween two rows and was kept : covered with turf. Down below was a comfort able room and a plant with a capaoity of twentv gallons a day. The smoke was carried three quarters of a mile through piles and there mingled with the boughs,of a mighty oak so to not m ar the beautv of the landscape. VV a- ter was secured by merely pulling stopper from a pipe that connected with the pure and Bparkling water of a ar.rinir ha f a mile up the mountain o j side.

I Goldsmith, in a shnrt and pretty ire face to the "Vicar of Wakefield," aay's: "There are a hundred faulu in ti thing and a hundred tilings might lie aid to prove them beauues. . A Imok may be amusing with many errors or it may be dull without a single absurdity. The hero in this story unite in himwrlf ne mree greateet characters on earth the priest, the husbandman and the father of a family."j; Strange that the author could riu such a charming st ry about the vt-ry three characters he knew least about, for he had no fitne s for nor experience in either. It is not recorded that was ever in love or suught the imj any of virtuous young hulk, yet Li b Ukd of the Hermit in thej "Vicar of Wake field" is admitted toj be the teudertrt and most perfect love jx-m ev-.r writ ten. My father made me commit it to memory when I was young and ther are at least a dozen verses in it that" 1 can cry over now an4 it does me good. It is comfort to we'p over these sweet things. Ianghorn wrote a verse about a poor woman with a babe at iier breast hunting over the battle field of Minden for the body) of her busbaml, and when she found ;him she kut-lt bv his side and wept and the big tears ft-ii upon the f&ce of her child and mingltnl with the milk he drew. "A child of misery baptizing in tears." A paint ing wi.8 made of it, and Walter Scotfl says the only time he ever saw Burns he was looking at that panting and cry ing like a child. To read the lints and imagine the panting :b enough for me. But if I had been Uoldsmith I would have set down the mother of a family as greater than the father. Evan Howell said he would not vote for a curfew, for his observation waa that if the father would stay at Lome at night the boys would and that song of 1 ' VV here is My wandering boy to-night?' ' would not have been "written. But the fathers can't all stay at home at night. Tbey are wanted at the store, the oflie', the counting room, for on them depends the support of the family. But many . a tired mother can sing "Where is my wandering husband to night?" Alas, too many can be found at the club, at tne pool room or the hotel, while the mother is straining her mind to untangle that hard sum, "If A and B can build a houe in thirty days and B can build it in forty-fiv4 days, how long will it take A to build it? Take it all in atll, it is the mothers who are the hope of the world th$ saviours of the children. They certain ly save the girls, for, nobody has yet sung, "Where is my wandering gin to night? If the fathers would do their half and save the boys it would be all nght. Oh, but for the mothers, wives and sisters, what would become otus without thorn? Biuoe I bvb been Sick sometimes away in the silent watches of the night, when, as Job says, "Deep sleep falleth upon a man," it does not fall upon a woman, for I feel her gentle touch arranging the cover and feeling whether I am breathing or not. Since have been sick I have never caught her fast asleep and the other night she got hurt with me because I slipped out in the hall and called the girls down to make a fire and heat some water, for I was sick and suffering.andjthere was no hot water in the boiler. It is just as Scott wrote: 'When pain and anguish wring the brow. A ministering angel thou." And as Coleridge wrote: "A mother Is a mother still; The holiest thing alive."; I may have written it before, but will write it again, that one night 1 agreed to stay with two dear ; little girls while their father and mother went out to tea at a neighbor's. This pleased me, for I am always happy in their company, and they in mine. iWhen bed time came I undressed them and they knelt by my knees and said their prayers; one of them was soon asleep, but the other lingered and j said, "Gran pa, when papa comes home please tell him love him." "Yes,; 1 will," said I. "What must I tell your mama ?" She closed her eyes and said, "Nothing she knows I love her." That expresses it. That child's father loves those little girls dearly, but he keeps a drug store,,, and is the prescription partner. He goes to the store before his children get up. He has but an hoar with tnem at noon, and nas to return to tne store soon after supper. No wonder " these little girls want him to know that they love him. Boys are very different, and when they get up in their teens mothers lose their influence. Some say it is bad associates. Of course that has something to do with it. but Uain didn t nave any tuat we know of, and yet he killed his brother, Environment is a big word, but it covers everything that a boy inherits or that he eets from association. One day a friend of mine, a Hebrew, said to me, "Major, I believe you vould die for your shildurn. t "Wouldn t you die for yours? said 1. lie pondered a while". "Yes, I pelieve I vould; dat is, for all except Frank." Frank was his bad boy, and gave him trouble; but Frank turned out to be a good boy, and is one of the best citizens of Atlanta. One of my best old-time friends was a Norwegian, and was killed during the war. He had some good, amiable daughters, and had two sons, who were bad, very bad, and, as I was mayor of the town, thev gave me trouble. Their father was a member of the council, an elder in my church, and I had favored his boys as much as possible; but one night, just jbefore Christmas, thev broke into a hardware store and stole a keg of powder and hid it in their stable loft. They had planned to blow up "the calaboose. The city marshal (old" Sam Stewart) found it and arrested the boys and brought tnem Deiore me for trial. I put it off until next morn ing. That night I went to see the father and mother. She cried, of course, and he choked up as he talked. "Mine good friend rl has been prayin about mine boys j; and it seem to de goot Lord Bay mine boys is gooin to aueet. Dey take it au rrom me, has been in de calaboose in Stockholm a hundred times, but von day I queet I shost queet right .off all a sudden, i! ill try my ill au." ure tnough they om tjuu, acu irrrw up: to a pot! manhood, tta tt tbu i I the caabit-r; of the Urgt tmtxk io Memphis, and lb othrr the head tf a hardware bouee in LruUtilU.

Oi l Jeff Ilowerson, up iiiIvike euun ty, 'alay said that t'lii fr-' niilit b; worse. While a voting f ISow he was engaged to a beautiful girl, but she married another man, and Jrff eat down on the bank of the creek, gating at the water and the dark shadows that seemed to float down the stream. A friend came to sympathize with him thinking that his spirit was broken, but Jeff looked up and said: . "Oh, it could be worse." It was a ; philosophy that no one wished to argue, against; it- always has been and doubtless will bo until theend of i human disappointment,' which means until the end of time. Well, Jeff went about his business- what little he had -and after a time married a girl wlio turned out to be a scold worst scold that anybody had ev er seen. One day she .scolded because there wasn't anything hi the house fit to eat. Jeff went to the crossorads gro cery and returned with a market bas ket full of provisions. He put the bas ket on the floor and, turning to her with a philosophical smile, began with: "My dear " but there he halted, for she flew at him. "Oh, how dare you make a slave of me!" she cried. "Oh, you beartleas thing, loading me down with all that stuff to cook," and she heaved the basket out into the road. Jeff scratched his head, and a neigh bor who had seen the performance halfed and began to sympathize with him, but Jeff smiled and remarked: "Oh, it might have been worse." The creek arose and washed his crop away, and because he dropped off to sleep as usual that night hi wife railed at him. f "Oh, you haven't a particleot sense," She : fumed. "E-rorytUiofli gono, ; a rA , here you are asleep." Well, I can bring every thing back being asleep about as well as being awake. Gope you know." And I suppose it could have been worse. "Yes, wc might have had more to lose." I do think you've got less sense than any man I ever bhw." Well, he drawled, "might have been worse." 'J don't see how. Wish you'd tell me. "I might have had a twin brother might be two of us instead of one, you know." Tho next season there came a cyclone and; everything on the farm but the mortgage was swept away, and Jeff 'lowed that it might have been worse. His wife snapped at him. "Well, I can't see how." "Why, it might have blown the well away. As it is, j'ou see, we ve got plenty of good water, and if there should come a water famine through out the country; our supply would be worth thousands of dollars. About the time the philosopher got back into shape a couple of fellows came along and sold him a gold brick for the price of his wheat crop.. His wife had been delighted at the deal, but when the truth feu cold upon her she! flew at him with a spurt of re proaches. He pointed to the fact that hog cholera was raging in the neigh hood. :But what difference does that make?" she snorted, and he replied; 'Good deal. Makes it all the better for us." Mlidon't see how." "Why, we haven't any hogs to lose." To the neighborhood he was a, great comfort. Discontent stopped at his gate to receive encouragement, and once when an old man had been made to believe that down the road there was for him a better day lying bright in the sun, the wife came out and scolded him away, but Jeff caught up with him, climbed up in his buggy and said: "Old friend, it might have been worse; she might have kept you from stopping." ! "Ah, the old man replied, "you help me, but where is your encourage ment?" 'Mine? Oh, I have it. I might have married mv wife sooner. One day while the wife was walking in the woods a tree fell and knocked ber senseless. Some one went " after Jeff, found him talking to some gloomy neighbors, and when he arrived at home the doctor was getting ready to leaver having given his itatient up, The woman called Jeff to the bedside and with the last gleam of reason said to him: fNow, you see what has happened I am dying. Can -you say it could have been worse ?" Je'2f "scratched his head "Yes, Jane, it could have been worse ?" "But I don't see how,'' she feebly replied. "Why, dear, the tree fell this week, did it? Well,' it might not have fallen till, week after next and, besides, it might have fallen on me." And the neighbors all said it could have been worse. God made the earth and rested: then He made man and rested; finally made woman, and neither God, man nor the devil has had any rest since. and I pelieve if you one nutre lime dey .

Mfc.n JiMKI TKLL1 OK A Tit IP Atlanta Journsl- I left' Atlanta midnight last Sunday night, att am making a tmr of lecture engagements in the Oarolinas. I note with pleasure the splendid crops of the Old North State.; The best cotton, corn, potatoes and tolacco of any of the southern slates will be harvested in North Carolina this fall. Some sections of South Carolina also have tine crops. lne towns over here are growing apace, aud the farmers are prosjerous. Th numerous cotton mills are lecom- ng more numerous and more pronper- ous. lharlotte leads, easy, in growth and push1. - Then Greensboro, theun Raleigh, Winstori-itialem, Durham, etc. Wilmington holds her own, and that's hard for her to do with the prosperous uland towns drawing away from her. I find Wilmington no longer troubled with her VLeopard Spots." She has quite a large colored, population, but that element is no longer in it. Negro rule snd mongrel domination no lon ger has a place in isorth uarohna poli tics. They are after Senator Pritchard's scalp now, and with his retirement the state will I be "redeemed," so-called. But with the passing of the negro from the body j politic of North Carolina there still remains something worse than negroes, and that's whiskey. Democrat na t jumol. uation qf the liquor traffic. Democrats do love whiskey. They were born with that love, and never go back on their first love. Politicians may ' prate, and states men may howl,! but I stick to it that with the passing of the saloon there will be a passing away of most all of our other evils. I dare the Democrats of Georgia to eliminate the negro vote from the bal lot box of Georgia.) If they will, then Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, etc., will go dry as soon as an election can decide it. Saloons are being driven out of the towns of North Carolina at an alarming rate. Politics are warm over here now on the senatorial issue. The joint debates of Prito.hard and Craig. are stirring up the animals. Senator Pntchard is a strong man and has the nerve to say his say. Craig is an orator of no mean ability. When he and Tntchard lock horns the funnies. There ate several candidates for the honors which Pritchard wears. But Craig has the start on the boys and will doubtles win the crown. I would love to see Jule j.Carr, of Durham, elected to the United States senate. But Providence seems to protect Jule by getting him beat in every race he has made, "Fjr whom the Lord loveth He chastenetn." ' The average fellow will have a hard time getting to heaven from the every day walkfi of life, but the average politician stands no chance at all. Ask Lon. - i ! That tariff and trust business ought not to be discussed except by the Dem ocrats. and to save my life 1 can t see how the discussion will avail them anvthimr. for without a leader an issue don t count. The Democrats remind me of the fel low who lost ten thousand dollars on pork because he didn't have the hogs to kill. Issues, but no available can didate. I expect Gov. Altgeld is glad he has escatted the evils which were to come. i When the oceans are deserts and the devil shuts up Bhop, then we can look for harmony between Watterson, Bry an, Tillman, J. K. Jones, Cleveland and Hill, j As long as the Democrats fuss with and fight each other, the Re publicans will revel and rot in office They call us Prohibitionists fools, but a feilow that can ! beat tho Democrats acting the fool, then he ought to be locked up1 as a protection to the public, If the Prohibitionist is affool,. then the Democrat is fool and rascal both, and that makes the most incurable ail ment the doctors ever tackled. I had rather be a plain fool and go on my way rejoicing than a fool and ras cal both bewailing my fate. I lectured on Tuesday night at Mul hns, . (J., one of the most prosperous little towns of the state. They seated a warehouse and a great crowd was' at the lecture. The land around Mullins, bad become too poor to raise cotton, they told; me, and for the past few years they have raised tobacco and now the little town of Mullins is hand ling eight million pounds of tobacco, and it brings from 10 cents a pound to 40 cent, and the farmers are jumping up and down. ' I stick to my propo sition thai no section of this country is tied down to one commodity, even Florida has two fish and Yankees. . The south has never known a tithe of her wealth.

But whethei good or ldf whrn we die our dtvds w ill follow us, briug their fruits here and give u happiness or misery in the world U come. Yours truly, Sam P. Jo km.

Of course the candidate who is hot sure ot winmngj would be a fool to say so. Of course' Mr. Craig is getting the Is he not a best of Mr. Pritchard. An indetendi-nt does mt care who runs the county government, juit so it is run right. The man w ho wants the scnatorship four years from now should just lay for the chairmanship. This tiling of dodging the towns that have candidates is .not giving Mr. Pritchard a fair show. In other words some of the fUtte apers do not want their reiru:-rs U write editorial opinions. Some of those who thought a nomi nation meant an election are alout to change their minds about it. The gentli-man who think they 'have cinch ujxjn the pretudrncy are just how saying very little-about it. Wontler will Mr. Craig set up the claim that the horse (hat pulls the plow is deserving the fodder. If a town can get no' pleasure out of circus why a prohibitory tax is a good thing to keep them away. Keep on your, shirt. While the secretary may be relieving the situation he is not giving anybody anything. If Butler can scare us as many popu list votes as he 'claims .he can, probably he could command his price. Asheviile's dog-tax law is not adding materially to the city's funds but it is in a fair way to have fewer dogs 1 he man wlio accepts the nomina tion for a small bluce'ii just as anxious to get there as ,the big fellows. As the president makes light of his condition it must lie that he was want ing an excuse for abandoning his trip. If the Winston fellows will come down-hereto st-e the circus we will make it as pleasant for them as ossible. If the democratic parly would imt up the best men available; it should have nothing to fear from the iodej ndenU hven the poor m tii dj- not want the sympathy of a policsl ptrty. If it will treat him fairly it is all that he can expect. it trie retKirters should count mm at some of the Jkmocratic gatherings we more than utiect that there would also be howl." ine sou in is lavoreu in many ways and one In particular is that she is not yet suffering frow the effects of the coal strike. The man who is under no obligations to the party can se no reason why he should stiile bis convictions for the good jof the party. Tbe republicans of this state would appreciate Mr. Hanna's help in the present cam irfiign if he would furnish the kind of assistance that is wanted. After all it does not mattitr what the papers may say abut ' the senatorial debate. People who know lihe papers know how to take what is said for what it is worth. ; Broke Into Ills Ilvnse. . ue uninn, or uavfendish. t.. was robbed of his customary health by inva sion of Chronic CcM5ti potion. f When Dr. King's New Lif e PiTIs broke into his house, his trouble was arrested and now he's entirely cured.
