Democratic convention last Saturday a week, is bound to be' a winner. Dr. V. L. (Jrol.se, the nominee t'r Representative, is too well known as an able and patriotic citizen and an unllinching Demo crat to need any praise at our li;inds. He represented this coun ty ably and satisfactorily several limes before. He was a member of the House of Representatives m 1SK and in li"sf, and was e ! -ted Senator for Lincoln and Ca tawba counties in Lst',. His ivc old in the Legislature stands un inipeaehed and unimpeachable. As a physician and a farmer he has always been a success. He is alw ays charitable to all classes and individuals and it may be truly said that he is "full of the milk of human kindness." Dr. Crouse's speech upon accepting his recent nomination was enthu siastically received. His state ments were plain and pointed and contained the doctrine of Democ racy in its purity. Dr. Crouse will lead the Democratic party to victory in the coming campaign and Lincoln will have a Represen tatie of -whom she wiH not have to be ashamed. Mr. L K. Clink, our candidate for Sheriff, is a young man of high character and worth. He is a member of the Farmers' Al'iance in good standing. He is an un llinching and an uncompromising Democrat. Mr. Cline is one of Howard's Creek's most popular and high'y esteemed eit'zens, and is in every respect worth' of the honor which the people will con fer upon him by their votes at the polls next November. Mr. B. C. Wood, the very em bodiment of those estimable qual ities that go to make a courteous gentleman, a genial companion, and above al1 a most faithful and conscientious officer, is our nomi nee for Register of Deeds. He lias tilled the office of Register for several years with perfect satis faction to all, and the people v;H see to it that he is retained anoth er term. Mr. L. T. Wilk'.Zj of whom Mr. J. T. DeLane said in the Courier in the campaign of 18SS that he was "all wool und a yard wide,'' is our nominee for Treasurer. He is a high-toned Christian gentle man, and his official record is known and read of a1! as being far beyond criticism. Mr. O. C. Thompson, our worthy nominee for Surveyor, is a farmer and an excellent man who is thor oughly fitted for the office of sur veyor. He has held the office of Justice of the Peace for a number of veors. ,Mit. J. iS. IIeimk, nominee for coroner, is an industrious, worthy and courteous gentleman, and de serves t lie hiirli esteem in which he is held by all. The ticket, is a strong one throu:rut and the honest yoe manry of Lincoln county will see to it that it gains a splended vic tory next November. ATTEMPTED LYM'ULXO. .Last Saturday night between twelve and one o'clock, a party ot men, variously estimated at 75 up to 200, came to the Lincolnton jail, and demanded the negro who had been sent hero from Dallas some time ago to escape lynching. The negro was the one accused of uiak ing an attack upon two young la dies in Gaston, who were In a bug gy on their way homo from a visit to one of the ladies' neighbors. The negro had followed the ladies about 150 yds-, we are told, but they whipped up the horse arm ra.tnajjed to escape. One of tin ladies identified the piisoner as tin man. Soon after the negro was placed in jail at Dallas, Sheriff Shu ford heard that a crowd was coming to lynch the negro and he hrougb him to Lincolnton. Again by some means Sheriff Shuford heard that body of men were going to come to Lincolnton, and he sent op and baf5 the negro removed from bore. Lai Saturday word reached Lincolnton that the lynchers would her. Saturday nigh', and, sure enough, they came. Mr. Baal, the jailer, was expecting them and was no, therefore, taken with surprise II allowed them to go through the jail, but assured them that their man was gone; With few exception?, the crowd behaved very well while at the jail, but their conduct in shooting off their pistols while leaving waa altogether out of pla.;e. They ought to have left qiretly. This community is very much against the attempted lynching. We can appreciate the great in dir.iaiion which such heinous dee (If; as the necro was accused of, wil awaken in any community where ii occurs. We happen to know tin young ladies and to know their hih stand ng in the com m uoi tie in which they live, and when we first heard of the uearo'd attempt wo could not suppress our bidignai tion. Bat notwithstanding these facts, the negro, if the guilty one, was in the hands ot the officers ol the lw and he should be allowed trial. If he should not be guilty, ;!u n, of course, it would have beei; a turiide deed to have lnehed him We have no doubt that those, win csine here last Saturday night fel' rv:ii voiced thai the negro was guilty of the charge against him. We cat. ;.pp!t-citt?Q I hi lee'ing that relative! ..'hi friends of the young ladies would experience under such cir-ru-ustam. 's ; yet we must prntes' .igainst the dangers attending lynch 1 v, and it auy who were in the crowd last Saturday night read these lines, we beg them to let the law take Uh course. o add to this, however, that law must be euforced before judge lynch will be impeached. Some ffllow iu this county has said that the Courier caused him to join tho Third party, because it abused the Alliance. There were some outside of the Alliance about a jear ago who were criticising the paper for beiug t:o friendly to the Alliance. This shows how widely men difter. We have uever hesitats ed to ciit.ciae its political doings and the doings of some of its lead ers. We have a complete file of the Courier. We will show any man through it. We dvfii anyone to point out a single liue iu anything we have ever wvittn that ia not consistent with the original Alliauce constitution. Now sir, j'ou men who are so earnestly seeking after tru'?, come ana exanrne iuto the facts. It seems now that the polit icians and Third parlyites have gotten cont ol of the Order and have converted it into a political machine and trampled under foot the constitution. It has even chosen a Third paity organ as t he organ of ttie Alliance. It is knocking out nearly every officer who openly con tinues to hold to the Democratic party, eud i'? Third party members are saying that no one can be a true A'1ianc mau and still be a Demo era. If the Alliauce is to be con. verted 'nto a political society ; if its mission from now on is to aid the Republican party iu its great desire to break the solid Soutb," and, whether intentionally or uninten tionally, cause the re-election ot Harrison; we say if this is the course the Third party leaders aie going to make the Alliance pursue, then you may put dowu the Cou tiirer as opposed to any such an organization. But we demand, sir, that you "report us correctly.'' We are in favor of a farmers Alliance that will steer clear of religion and politics ; that will not endorse polif ical platforms nor meddle with re ligious creeds; and that will hold to the purposes such as were original. Iy understood by the majority o? the people to be contemplated b the farmers Alliance. "1 WILL be found battling under the Democratic banner when my traducers have joined the com mot enemy." Col. Harry Skinuer. The above is what Mr. Skinner said last May. Is he battling undei the Democratic banner now 1 Skin ner took part in the State Demo cratic convention. Where is b now? Just where his "traducers' expected him to be when they saw him going around with Mario Butler. Some of the Third party leaders in this county say that m one can be a true AUiauccruan am be a Democrat. The constitutioi , however, says the Alliance shall it no wise interfere with your religior or politics. Is this true, or is it lik all you see in Democratic papers fa'e? Tue Alliance met at Grcnsbor last week and elected lis officert nearly all of whom are TliMd party ites. State lecturer bill was de throned because he wf.s a little tor Democratic. The Alliance, however, "is non political and cannot go int pollrcs," t;cit:ier can it interfere with one's religion or policies ! Whf you har a man say ho ha? bceu "driven out ot the party b some particular mau or by what tom particu'ar paper may have said or done, you can just put it down that that man is "nnrd up" for an excuse to change his poliiica. A ma should ix'Iong to a party because o its principles and not because oi what some uu'mber may eav or do. The Tii;ai) party State conven tion met this week at Raleigh and first nominated Haivy Skin ner for governor. Sk:nner came to the rostrum and made a condi tional speech of acceptance in which he said if the Republican party was, by its conspiracy, about to divide the white people of North Carolina, he must then have the liberty to stand for the white people. This raised a bowi in tho convention and the how! ceased not till 11 any was brought down. Later the convention nominated one named Exum Dr. W. P. Kxum. AVre will give fuller proceedings next week. j nv,, uw7. II . lHE llIIBT) farty has captured .... ... , ' 1 the State A'bance. .After the Stat'-!

"ISaliu or Giletul." Hulls X Hoads, N. C. Aug. 15, 1892. Mr. Editor: 1 waut to whisper a few things t j you which I hops you will tell to bill Shauka- Bill ask 8 that our personal relations may remain the same. I can assure Bill o far as I am coucerned that it may remain the same. I tell you, though, Bdl cuts some fine caper?. Bill seems to be very much concerned about the Iiepublicau party and goes so far as to point, out their chances in this campaign. Now I want to ask Bill if their chances are as he saye, where on earth does he base the hopes of his party? PoorBdlll know he has a hard time, but tell him he need not give himself any more concern about tho Babe because he is safe. We have crossed over the bridge and burned it behind us. Horse-back processions and music from a band of silver instruments, paid lor by aristocrat'8 gold can have no effee! on men who havo the love cl their country at heart. Ask Bill 'hat he thinks about Butler, Graham, Skin ner and Moses Stroup, They aret olina Central train from the west, indeed, men of high mental attain no spoke at Marion Wednesday, ment and undoubtedly have the came down to Hickory that even spirit of true reform because theii ing, spoke there that night and actions seem to bear them ont came on here, via Lincolnton, yeas Well, Bill thinks he has a Katie in terday morning. He stopped at the tba public printing. Now I would Central Hotel, spent the day here, like to ask Bill if he knows the and left last evening for Concord history of this affair, I waut to know who was in the Legislature when Hearne underbid Joe Turnc and what the price was at that time. Now, Mr. Editor, you ami in the counties which ha has visited Bill trace this thing back and obtain since ne wag uere a weet ag0. jje 1 he facts in the case aud you wil; bas spoken within that time at Dal--ee that the bonus pattern waa laio las, Lincolnton, Shelby, Rutherford near 20 years ago, and that Jo. ton and Marion. All of these were Daniels did not receive over pay good meetings aDd, Gov. Jarvis from last Legislature, only, but tha j thinks, were productive of good res ho has received the samo price eve: since he has been State printer, am: that Capt. Ashe, State printer be fore him, uceived the same. Now if Capt. Ash and the clean cuts bar een honest with the peoplo thej wonld not have taken more tLat the work was worth. It "Balm o? Giiead" is complaining about any thing he h complaining that th last Legislature paid the publ printer a bonus of at tout 4,000. which could have beeu saved by giving Ashe the job. We s'.mph refer him to Wilson, his Th'rd par ty candidate who voted for th "bouus". If an evil "pattern' wa liid by former Representatives anc followed by Mr. Wilson, the last BepreaeotaLlve of this cjuuty, wbj does Mr. "Giiead" want to return tc the Legislature, a mau who works by that obuoxious (?) "pattern"! Mr Giiead started the printing ques tian in the wurt house at Lincoln ton and it seems that it is to be his hobby iii 'lie campaigj. Anything j he may do on that line will L j against his candidal0, C. L. Wilson aud will be appreeia-d by the Deua ; ociats of Lincoln. Editor But it does not stop here, f?e find that in 1872, when Ashe represent ed New Hanover county, and Jo Turner wa State printer, and whet- the pric 3 was almost double th present price, that Heaine througt i 1 tn ,1 inu 1 ! cm tiv ni 1 1; n ' i uuui uiuojuu iui Uiui - welf uuderbid Turner 15 per cent. and Ashe is on redid a aidiug it the very same thing which he ano the c.len cuts condemn in last Leg islature. Now, my friend-, where is consistency ? If the Farmers' Leg 1 isla'ure squandered $4000 on Dau ' iels ; how many thousaod hav previous Legislatures squandered ( on this t?ame dep tment ? We find (hat the price is now the lowest i paid under Democratic administra- ,ion a,,a" that it l,da var.ed from 40ot per 1000 ems to 87ots pel MOO ems which is more thau doub- , , . . le l he present price. xow, is'iiy, get your gun.

I ave been requested to make some 1 . , 1 T -.uj I from the campaign as the candidate of the People's party, for Siieriffol Lincoln County. The strongest reason that I can give is that I did not want to take the responsibility (of the office; the next reason is, my father is old and infirm, having been j partially paralyzed ; and uot want-j mg to leave his home and ray being j the only one to stay with him aud ' tun a large farm, I could not get thecDnseut ot my own mind t leave home.

He was struck with the number of old men present and by the fact that in all of the large audience there was not au iutoxi cated man. Gov, Jarvis is satisfied that the situation is improving dai ly, and that with the right sort oi -iflort we will come out ail right in the end.

Cures Others Will cure You. is a true statement of the action of AVER'S Sarsaparilla, when taken for diseases originating in impure blood ; but, while this assertion is true of AVER'S Sarsaparilla, as thousands can attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to other preparations, which unprincipled dealers will recommend, and try to im pose upon you, as "just as good as Ayer's." Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and Ayer's only, if you need a blood-purifier and would be benefited permanently. This medicine, for nearly fifty years, has enjoyed a reputation, and made a record for cures, that has never been equaled by other preparations. AYElt'S Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he reditary scrofula and other blood dis eases from the system, and it has, deser vedly, the confidence of the people. Sarsaparilla "I cannot forbear to express my joy at the relief I have obtained from tho use of AYER'S Sarsaparilla. I was afflicted with kidney troubles for about six month:;, suffering gteatly with pains in the small of my back. In addition to this, my body was covered with pimply eruptions. The remedies prescribed failed to help me. I then began to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and, in a short time, the pains ceased and the pimples disappeared. I advise every young man or woman, in case of sickness result ing from impure blood, no matter how long standing the case may be, to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla." II. L.
