Notwithstanding Danbury bM bseo located about thirty years, and there are those who ridicule the ides that it will ever be • place of any note or import ance in the State; any one who wilt look with an impartial eye at her natural ad vantages need not be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, to tell that the day is not far distant when she will take her piace by the aide of the most thrifty in land towns in the State. Look at her M she nestles among the beautifnl hills of the Dan, while the mountains rise on th South and West to the height of twelve or eighteen hundred feet, covered with forest trees to their very summit, fanned by as pure air M the God of tare ever breathed npoo a people, while pnre mountain water triuklee or gushes from the solid rook as if olefk by Mosee a rod at more than twenty places around the base of the ridge upon wbieb she stands, and withia less than three band ied yards of ths court house, whils eleer rapid etreams washing her three sides osrry off the impurities. Is it sny won dsr that her people are healthy and eoo sequontly hsppy. N°w, if we consider l>aobury with so eye to ber poouniary advantages, we Bad one end of her main street resting as it were on the very waters of the beautiful Dan (famed slike in histury and aong) a never failing Kreua of pore clear water, that would f«rn»b sites and water in aoundance to drive all the apiudles of the world, while rising Irom ber banks the bll'B stretching fir miles away are oovered with the very largest and Must valuable forest tree* to be found in the Stale, and the soil being deep and rich uii»k>s it a fine ral seotion. well adapted to the growth of fine totaceo, wheat, oorn, and the grasses; and still ben#atb the (oil in these time hills and cropping out at more thau fifty place' within a radios of three miles, taking the court house M a center, are deposits of the richest iron ore, while granite, firs proof olay, man ginese, coal, asbeatos, lime, mioa, galena, (this last pronoonoed by the State ohe saiet to be very valuable) and other min erals of greater or less value are found in the near distanoe, and then being sit uated in the midst of the finest mineral water region in the State, oan we say her future is insignificant, or taking into consideration her fine scenery, her pure air, pure water, her immense water power, and inexhaustible iron deposits, her fine hickory, oak, and other timbers, her health giving waters, productive soil, and mild olimate, won't it rather be said that Dsnbury has a bright t'utnre. PLAIN TALK. ID opening and conducting the oan vass before as, the people need plain sen ■ible instructions, given in the simplest language, and then there are many things that can be better said than writ ten, or at least, oan be more effectually said, this ii not so beoause our people are dull of comprehension, or beoause they have not the natural intellect to grasp any subject that may be brought before them and in whioh they are in terested but is beoause they do not make politioa their business, many of them have neither the time nor the despoai tion to post themselves on the issue* of the day, but depend almost entirely on what others may tell them ; is it any wonder then, that they are otten led astray by corrupt smiliog politicians We have taken the stand, and live in belief, that the Amerioan people are hooeet in politics and will do the right if they know what u right, and the rea son that so many dishonest, corrupt men are eleeted to fill the offices of the land is simply beoause the people are misled by corrupt teachers. The people do not consider as they should that all the oor rupt laws, all the mselees offices, all the extravagant waste of their money ia that some one who should be filling his right ful place in a state prison may be bene fitted thereby. We need not to go to the North or West to see the effects of this false teaching. Are there not men here among us olaiming to be honest men advoeating the olaims of a man to the highest office in the gift ot the people, whom they believe to be a oorrupt pur gerer T Are there not men here among us who have done and will do everything in their power to eleot a man Governor of the State of North Carolina when they believe that man refused to grant the sacred writ of kabea* corpus to some oi the beet men in the State, notwith standing they were held aa prisoners in tisse of peaee by a crew generally known as cot-throats, and notwithstanding he bad sworn to support the constitution of the State whioh says thia writ should never be suspended. Are there not men here among us who are looked to as leaders, yet have procured the appoint ment of some of the most oorrupt men in the land to heoter over the honest peoplo J Are there not men among as holding office to day appointed by the power* that be who if they bad their does would be serving oat long terms in n State priaon I Ia not that a bad law badly executed by bad men whioh re quires the government to pay oat five dollars to oolleot one on distilled spirits. The people do not favor such men for offioe, they don't favor such laws exe outed as they are, and all they want ia plain honest teaching to show them the treachery of thoee leaders who profess to be their frienda. CORRESPONDENCE. [Communicated ] Keep it before the people that Garfield and the Radical leaders are iu favor of keeping troops at the polls, with gang and aword*, to intimidate the whits people of the South, and keep them from the polls. Hancock is opposed to bayonet rale. Keep it before tiiat the first big goo for Hancook has been fired io Ihe State of Maine. The State that bas given majorities for the Radicals ever since the war, raogiog from 6,000 to 20,000, voted on last Tuesday and given a maj irily of 1,000 against the . Radicals Go it H»qoock. Keep it before the people that Jndgs Uniuin, the Radical candidate for Governor of North Carolina, and the Stokes oounty Radical candidates, all Toted against the adoption of the constitutional amendments which had two provisions prohibiting mixed schools and the inter-Marriage of whit* and black. Thoy were opposed to theso olauses Keep it before the people that J. A. Garfield, the Radical candidate for President, mjs he never will shake bands with the South across the bloody ohum, thereby showing his hate of the South, and that be is a seoticnal man; and let it be rem:mbered that tbe Radical candidates of our oounty agree with and support Garfield for President. Keep it before the people that if Garfield is elected to the Presidency, John Sherman, the present Treasurer of tbe United States, and the man who has and has had the management of all the internal revenue department, will be re-appointed by Gaifiela, and will have the rule over our citiiens four years longsr. Vote for Hanoock, reform and peace. Kepp it before the people that the Radical leaders are in favor of appointing United States morshsls at all the preoincts (suoh as Brus Manering) to supervise the elections and arrest such men or Democrats as they may choose, and keep them from voting Hancock is opposed to this work of corruption) aud will give the people free elections. Keep it before the people that the revenue department will put forth everything poasible to defest the Democrats in this election, the entering wedge being Brut Manering ; look out all ye people, keep your eye skined, sod you will see a ring, working within a ring, and that ring is oentered at Danbury. Take warning against the ring now. Keep it before the people that it ia their duty to expose everything that may be brought to bear in this election ; for the Radicals are running the outrage mills and waiving the bloody Bhirt in the North, which is endorsed by our Southern Radioal leaders and candidates. What did Buxton do to blooding the shirt T Answer: —he helped the Confederacy to make salt-peter, to make powder to kill Yankees with. How many Yaakaw did our oounty candidates help to kill through the men they persuaded to go to tbe army 7 Keep it before the people that the Radioala of this congressional distriot have for four years carefully prosotibed their own oitixeos, aod have put up a carpet bagger from the North a their candidate for Congres*. Who but a depraved Radioal office-seeker oould do sush a thing T Do they want to gel back to the oarpet bag government of 1868, when $7 00 per doy and apeoial tax bonds were the order of the day, and when even oar county government caught the fever and ran our .county in debt 125,000, which the Democrats have bad to pay, or make arrangements to pay J MESSRS. EDITORS: —I wisb to say something about the public ronda— especially of Stokes. If there is n county in the State in need of good roads, it is Stokes Up one hill down the other—rooks —gullies—roots, it is • bresk-neck business traveling in Stokes —you are hardly aafe horse-baok. It ia a shame and disgrace ! Are there no intelligent people in Stokes having some small grain of pablie spirit 7 Do they not know that pablie roads are a mark of the intelligence, bappinesa and wealth of a people ? Do they not kno# of a certainty that DO material advancement in the wealth of a people oan be obtained without pablfo highways T I can't call many of these openiogs anything bat crook ways or rock ways. Will the industrious German settle on any of oar fertile hills, and plant orchards, vineyards, vegetable gardens, raise ohickens, and so forth, unless be can get in his wagon and trot off to market ten or Ifteen miles and back the aame day ? Or, aeod his wife and daughters without fesring their necka would be broken, before they went a mile T Danbwry will be a fine market town. Anybody eapable of looking one inch before bis noae, can see that the time is not far distant, when Danbury will be at the terminus of a narrow gaage railroad, and will beeome a fine market town for the county of Stokes Tobacco factories —wood works of various kind# will employ men who will have to bay ths farmer's products. Danbary will be essentially a busy msnnfacturihg town. Her water power aod her irou ore are sufficient proof of thia prediction. But what a chow ean she present to the enterprising emigisot who would liko to settle on a few aores of the picturesque hills of Stokes as the roads now are ? They are enough to off the present iohabitanis. it possible thst the oounty is not ablo to have turn pikes radiating from Daubury as a centre ? Not able to build them ? Shame! Not willing is what's the matter Alter Everett's bill a little, ii there are any small objeotiooable featnres. Would any man not selfish, be unwilling to pay a small tax to see his county one of the foremost in the State f Will not Stokes be this, if her oitisens shall be true to themselves? Certainly she will. Make the non tax payer work hi* share, too. Have level turnpikes running out from Danbury, North-west, North east, South and South-west Start the ball. Don't let the everlasting old hills all wash away into gullies—when the eoming genera tions won't have any soil to pay taxes on—nothing but gullies. Gentlemon, commissioners and leading oititeus ol thought, intelligence and patriotism !! look a little into thu future ! Your level lands will have to bear more and more of the tax each year and finally all, if this thing goes on Have level dirt roads at first. And, after a little, whan Hancock is sleeted, and emigration oomes down here, [which it will begin to do after the election], prosperity will enable us to put iu ttuiu the beaten rooks on thus giving mac adamised roads to lam forever. But there is danger of onr rough roads soaring everybody off Emigrants will give us the go-by, unless we can say: We have begun to turn over a new leaf on the road question. We don't want to remain forever in this isolated and semi-barbarious condition." For tbe RBPOHTKB, Hon W B. Glenn Demooratio can didate for tbe Senate from Stokes and Forsyth Counties, and Hon. R B. Glenn for the House of Representatives, ad dressed the people of the northern pari of Stokes at Prestonville last Saturday Their speeches were eloquent and highly appreciated by the audience, never was an assemblage more quiet and attentive, peace and good will prevailed throughout the day, as it will ever bo the motto of the Democratic party. We should re turn our thanks to tbe good people ol Prestonville for their kindness and res peot by olosing the doors of their busi ness houses. Col. Thos. Martin candid ate for sheriff, and Mr. J P. Criti of Virginia responded to a call in a few but interesting remarks. Mr P. H Terrell was called, but failed to answer, just as be will in November next. Let us rally to the polls and wear the banner of vic tory, and say onoe more we have an honest government. A VOTER. mmmmmtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmmmmum Mr. J. Willie Smith, one of the proprietor!* of Reed's popular warehouse, returned last Saturday, with hi* family, Iron) Piedmont Springs, where they have been sojourning several weeks. He speaks very highly of the people ol Stokos oounty, anJ of the generous kindness of Danburiaos. There is more real virtue and full grjwn manhood among the Sauratown mountains than that eeotioo has oredit for ; and Danbury will oompare favorably with any other' town in the world, site considered, in the refinement of its citisena, general hospitality, and high moral character.— Reiihville Democrat. Poor Weaver 1 As the Greenback candidate ior President, he went to Maine to help the Republicans. He tried to prevent the Greenbackers from voting the Fusion lioket. He arged them not to do anything that would give aid and comfort to the Demooraey. Bat they would not listen to him. Poor Weaver! He is more ridiculous thao ever. IMMIGRATION TO THE STAT* —ln • short interview had with Mr John E. Ray, who has just returned from Eng land, we were pleased to learn that the efforts of Mr. 8. J Pall, agent of the Agricultural Department, to induoe im migration to North Carolina, were most encouraging. He thinks Mr. Pall will start a number of families to our State during the fall. Pure water, fresh air, sunlight, and houses kept free from all dampness, will save many doctor bills, and give health and vigor whioh no mohey can procure. A La Croeae minister prayed for those "who are smitten with illness and thoee who have gone a fishing, and also those too la,y to dress for church." Why is a hen sitting on a fenoe like a oent? Because she hss a bead on one side and tail on the other. A Western editor says: "Some of our subscribers are trying to kill ua with kindnesa —unremitting kindnets. The home circle—walkjng arrfund with the baby at night. A Solid Shot from the Democratic J[or t. The Campaign Text Book whioh has just been issued by the National Detnocratio Committee is a volume of nearly 600 pages aud one of the most thoroughly oomplete works of a political and semi historical character ever printed. It presents a volumo of faots in its review ol tbe Republican party, its sins of commission and omission, and a graphic summary robberies and frauds in our history under Republican administration. In addition the work ooLtains sketches of the lives of the Democratio candidates for President and Vice I'resideqt, and reviews the Republican candidate's public record; his connection with the Credit Mobilicr, Do Golyer oontract, back pay and salary garb, electoral frauds, etc. Then there are interesting faots relating to the extravagance of the Ropublioans when in power—the Freedman's Savings Bank swindlo, oarpet-bag government, eto. Tbe book also shows where Union Democrats stood during tbe war in the front, risking their lives for tho preservation of the Union Gen Duncan S. Walker, secretary of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has completed a won by task in compiling thia work, and deserves to be uomplimcnied — New York Sunday News, Aug wit /, 1880. Tho Birthplaces of the Presidents. Washington wa9 born in Washington parish, Westmoreland county, Virginia, near tbe junction o* Pope's Creek with the Potomac River; John Adams at li.uiotiee, Massachusetts ; Jefferson in Albemarle county, Virginia; Madison in Port Conway, I'iitice George county, Virginia; Munioo in Westmoreland county, Virginia ; John Qaincy Adams iu Bruiotrec, Massachusetts; Jackson at the Waxhaw Settlement, Union county, North Carolina (at the time supposed to be in South Oarolina); Van Buren in Kinderhook, Now York ; Harrison at Berkeley, Charles county, Virginia ; Tyler iodCbarlea City county, Virginia; Polk in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina; Taylor io Orange county, V irgihiti; Fillmore in Summer llill township (then part of Looke), Cayuga county, New York; Pierce at Hillsborough, New Hampshire: Buchanan in Franklin county, Pennsylvania; Linooln in Larne (then Hardin) county, Kentucky ; Johnson in Raleigh, North Carolina ; Grant at Point Pleasant, Clermont county, Ohio ; Hayes at Delaware, Ohio Where the name of no village or city is given, it sboirß that the birthplace was iu the coUßtry, away frotu any town. While the lUdumls are howling over the late election in Alabama, they would do well to study the recent history of that State a little. In 1874 the debt and liabilities of Alabama amounted ti> upwards of 1300,000,000 Under Dem ooratic rule this debt has been' reduced by a fair and just settlement with the State's creditors to lesi than £10,000,000 The amount required' under Republican rule in 1873 to conduct the State gov ernuient wan $1,100,000. In 1879 the amount required fo- the saiue purposes was less than $600,000. Public schools have been opened in every township, and the money appropriated tor them has been honestly and faithfully applied. Crime has been oonstantly on the de crease. The number of pru#ecjtioQs for larceny in 1871J was fifty pur cent less than the number in 1873. The argument before the Court oi Appeals of the Virginia Midland railroad case—the injunction which stopped the sale—was commenced Friday. Able oounsel appeared on each side. The de cision of the Conrt will determine whether a sale of the road shall be had or uot, and this deoiaion will soon be kuown. A treacherous friend is the meat dan gerous ot eneuiiea. C.
