Mr. London is a level-headed editor, and an intelligent, enoigetic business man. He has been promi ment in state politics for a long time, and will make an influential Sen ator, p Professor McGregor's school will begin on Monday next, Sept. 20th. It is hoped by the faculty that parents and guardians will be punctual in starting their charges. The cave-in on theSwannanoa tun, nel, on the summit of the Blue Ridge, appears to be a big affair. Hundreds of tons of stone and earth fell. Many laborers aro at work there. .A sup posed cause of the fall of the roof of the tunnel is the ceaseless dripping of the wa.er. As we supposed, the rumor about an uprising of the negroes in Rich mond County was without any foun dation. By the-last city census, Charleston had a population of 0.000. If every town in proportion does as well as Wadesboro towards aiding the earthquake suEefers, they wil have-help a plenty. The next State Senate will be a strong body. Already we notice among the nominees such strong, names as Adams of Union, London of Chatham, Shober of Rowan, Alex derof Mecklenburg, Rufus JoDes of Wake, Pou of Johnson, and others of like character. Of course no intelligent man con siders Charles R. Jones' candidacy seriously, but we hope this will not lull democrats into a feeling of in difference. The Republicans are a wily foe, and they can put a man out the night before election anil marshal their hosts at the polls. Let Democrats remember this, and be ready on the day of battle. Just so. Charles R. Jones is burn ing his bridges behind him with a vengeance. His last utterance is against the present system of county government. In this, as in other things, Charle R. is in full accord with - the Republicans, by whose votes he vainly hopes to get his bag gage through to Washington City. Charles R. Jones may hereafter call himself a Democrrt (and ho may not) but no one else will so designate. him. He is to-day, to all intents and purposes, a full fledged Republi can and all the repentance in the world can never wash away the dir ty stain. It is to-day, and hereafter, J "Charles R. Jones, the Republican candidate fr Congress in the Sixth district." Wilmingt on Review. - Judjre Asho's Acceptance. The late State Convention appoiu ted a committee, consisting of Messrs. Davis, Fuller and Manly,, to notify the nominees for the Supreme Court Bench. They have done so. and the nominees have all accepted the charge entrusted to them . We give below the letter of acceptance of our townsman. Judee Ahe. whose official conduct and labors have truly met the approval of bi fellow citizens: Wadesboro, Aug. 27, 1886. Dear Sirs: Your letter of the 26th itist., informing me of the action of the convention held in Raleigh, the 25th of August, putting mein nomi nation for the office of associate justice of the Supreme Court, has just been received. With heartfelt gratitude to that body, I accept the nomination, and do so with the greater pleasure be cause it i? enhanced by theconsid er&tion that it gives inethe assurance that my official conduct and labors have met the approval of my fellow -citizens. And I trust that I shall never be found to be unworthy of this renewed mark of their confi dence. Through you, as the committee of the convention. I tender my grateful acknowledgments to. that body, and at the same time I oeg that you will accept my sincere thanks for the per sonal interest each of you have tak en in my behalf. I have the honor to be most sin cerely, your obedient servant, THOS. & ASHE. To Messrs. Uavn, Ful- ( p. ler and Manly. ANSONVILLE ITEMS. The Baptists held a protracted meeting at the College chapel la6t week. Professor Red f earn opens his school during the present-week. Rev. Mr. Uobb formerly Profess or at Ansonville College now pastor at Hickory, preached very acceptaT bly last week, to his old friends and. patrons in upper Anson. Quarterly . meeting was opened in the Methodist church, on Saturday morning last. Mr. F. A. Clark has been verv ill with' malarial fever. Rev. Mr. Gutherie preached an able sermon on Sunday morning 'last on the Divinity of the Messiah. The Baptists are making an effort to erect a church at Ansonville. Mrsv Birdie Dunlap has been sick for some days. This delicate little lady was made nervous by the earth quake. Protracted meeting is conducted at the college cfcapel during the pres ent week. Cotton is beginning to open in the fields, and pickers are seen with their baskets, gathering in the snow y staple along the country lanes. Mr. J. N.

In taking charge of the Tikes, we do so with the firm hope and belief that it will be well sustained by the gener ous hearted citizens of Wadesboro, and this entire section. There is a great deal of bard work to be done to bring some degree of order out of a certain confusion which has existed under the recent manage ment, and which impedes the smooth sailing which we expect to enjoy soon. We will have to take a week to put the office in working condition ; therefore the first number under the new management will appear Thurs day, the 30th inst. It is a matter of . first importance that our merchants and others should write out their advertisements and hand them in on dr before Saturday of next week if possible. Do not fail in this. Everybody who con duets any kind of business should advertise. those who are not subscribers should hand in their names at once. NOW id the time to advertise ami subscribe. . We hpe our -friends-generally will Jear in mind, that we are a compara tive stranger here now, and not forget to help .us with local, items of news. Anything you hear of interest, be kind enough to bring or 6end it to the Times office without delay. We hope Our country friends will not neglect this request. Respectfully, &c, E. S. Warrock. "When does two become one?" asked our devil. "Give it up," we replied!

"Go to" 1" We forgot all about (ho earthquake. " '" The Humorous Side. . There were after all some humor ous phases connected with the earths quake. It is related that a friend of :0urs in Richmond, who had laid some stress upon the reports of a ne gro uprising, thought the suprerre hour had come the iiigfft of the vquake. He buckled on his side arms, grabbed his : double barreled - shot scuu. aud awaited with straiued nerves the onslaught, of Africa . Ev ery tree 'seemed to be a burly son of Ham, and every shadow a blood thirsty cotton picker. Our friend is a brave man,- and wanted to sell his" -lifp a3 dearly as possible. S with barricaded doors, he stodd armed for lilie'fi'ly ' Nor did he have to wait long. The poor negroes, fright ened out of their wits, began an un carthTy , hollowing, and advanced upon the house, calling for Marse to come to their relief. This confirmed the suspicionof our friend; and he grasped his arms tighter, threatening to make a corpse of the first man to enter. This warlike sus pense continued until our friend rec ognized the voice of a ' trusted ser vant, lie finally agreed to allow him to enter if ho approached the house alone.. This was done, and when the trusted servant explained the situation, our friend relaxed, his instruments of war were laid aside, the battle was over, and ho went out to pour the oil of consolation! into the ears of his terrified and crjjuch--ing colored laborers. . The large and interesting revival at.the Baptist church here is still in progress, and under the untiring efforts of Rtv. H. W. Battle, will surely result in much good. They have a new post-office in Cabarrus called Whary. We sup pose the people have become "wha ry" in trying to get a Republican cut of the Concord office, and have gone to making new ones. Charlotte has sent $1,417.85 to Charleston. The Electra Magazine which sus pended some time ago on account of the marriage of its editor is expected to resume publication this fall in an enlarged form. It is hoped this gem of Southern literature will pass into the hands of ladies who are im pervious' to the influence of the mas culine sex. FESPERMAN, L.

It Seems now more than probable that we will have at an early day a railroad from here to Salisbury. We understand that a syndicate have signeM a contract to build the road. It is the Company known as the Yad kin Railroad. A road in that direction wonld rhavo been build in the near future. and how much better for Wades boro that it should start from here, than to have riln from Rockingham to the North of us. thus cutting off a large and valuable trade. How some things thunder in the index and fizzle out id the conclu sion. Not only does it -seem . there, is. no truth in the statement that the iron on the Cheraw & Salisbury Railroad would-be tikehtip,rtmt quite the re verse, since the road is to be. built frpn here to Salisbury.

Reports from more than a hun dred points within -the area em braced by the Gulf of Mexico, the great lakes, the Mississippi river and the Atlantic Ocean 6how that about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night all this vast territory was shaken by the tremors of the earth's crust in Mis sissippi, Alabama, Florida, Geor gia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky , VirginiaWest Virginia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Connecticut, Rhodo Island and Mas sachusetts. On tho extreme north eastern boundaries of the movement the shocks were so slight as to be scarcely appreciable, seeming tothave spent their force about Boston on one side and Dubuque on the other. The culmination of their' action was in the vicinity of Charleston. S. C, where the loss of lifeand the most serious deetructipn of , property, op ciirred. -Elsewhere the earthquake was no more than violent enough to. topple chimneys, cause fissures 'in walls, ring bells,, move furniture, rattle, crockery and throw many communities into a panic. Next to Charleston the most seri ous effects were" felt at Summprvijle, S. C. ; Columbia, S. C. ; Augusta, Sa vanah and Raleigh, N. C. While there were no fatal results, except af-1 Charleston and Summorville or the immediate neighborhood, the shocks in the other.. towns named 4eH-iU8t shprjt of causing destructionf -hu! man life. The scenes of alarm and terror wore such as can result from nothing ioHs'than 'a mysterious and dreadful convulsion " of nature. Whole communities "spent the- flight in horrible fear that each shock might be succeeded by another that would bring to them sudden and vi olent death, and the telegraphic re ports tell of thousands of men ahd women unnerved with dread and frantically calling upon the aid of a Supreme Being. The earthquake extended over a larger territory than any that has taken place in North America in the j history of the continent. It was al so fraught with the greatest loss of life known to have been caused by any such event in the region to which it was confined, but while in Chesf respectd it was -unparalleled, -it was not the most violent that has been felt in this country. That pre cedence belongs to the earthquake in December, 1811 whichswept through the ntire Missisippi Valley, concentra ting its power at the town of New Madrid. Mo., which was nearly ob literated. Memphis, St. Louis and other points along the river suffered, ahd over a region stretching for three hundred miles southward f rom the mouth of the Ohio the ground rose and sank in great undulations and lakes were . formed and were again drained. The surface buist open in fissures that generally tren ded northeast and southwest, and sometimes were more , than half a' mile long. The disturbances con tiuued over the Vsunk country" nn til.

On October 87, 1727; November 18, 1727; December 7, 1737; November 18 1755; March 22, 175S; April 25, 1772, November 30, 1783; January 8, 1817; August 7. 18C8, arid October 20,; 1S70, eartb; quake shocks of some severity were felt on the Atlantic coast of the Uni ted States. The next preceding the phenomenon of Tuesday night was the one of August 10, 1884, which extended, from Maryland to Maine and as far west as Ohio. AN OMINOUS PROPHECY. A very s ttange coincidence in c n , nection with the earthquake occurred last -Tuesday m l-ning, a few hours before the people Of JJiarleston were driven .from tbair. homes in horror and fright at the terrible .vis tat ion of nature. About 11 O'clock that day ..Mr- Daniel Haas, in -the course of conversation with a friend,, made the remark that if he were in Peru he would be willing to bet ten to one that there wwujd be an earth quake before morning. Mr. Haas has had a great deal of experience with earthquakes there. He says that the native there are usually able- to foretell the -approach of bq4 earthquake . by. the .meteorological conditions, and that the was Jed to make the above" remark hV the" Kasjr appearance of the sun at that time aua tne sultriness 01 me utmu s phere.' -V The reason why the sliockB . were more violent in the , vicinity of ChafleltuU audSumfilervmd,i8-llfat I there is more of a . toft, yielding n& ure tn the superficial upper strata which conducted the vibrations, and the forward movements of the earth waves, n seting with lses resistance here than from, the hard substances farther in the 'interior; were more rapid and jerky, and shook the surf -ace with more violence. The presence of the innumerable fissures obeerv akle in the city, and intbesountry as far as Summervillend beyond, is accounted for by this same soft mate rial yielding readily to the pressure of the earth waves, which pushed up the thin crust and squeezed out as it were, the water and sand subject to the pressure. Netcs & Courier. .THE EARTHQUAKE AND ITS LESSONS. . The earthquake of Tuesday night appears to have been one of the most extensive subterranean disturbances. ever Known in the United States. Not less than twentytwo States were affected by it. : All sorts of people, in all sorts cf places, were shaken up and terrified. To many it was. their first earthquake experience, giving them a sense -of; sickness or vertigo. Fortunately in but a small section of tho vast expanse of Territory shak en bjr the' ttawelcome visitant: was there anyjsejiQiis damage done,. ' Charleston, S. C, seems to have been the centre of upheaval, and, while the reports are fragmentary an4 canfiicjiag as ;V the extent of damage lbeee..is little' doubt that a con'side'rbiej portion of the city'is ip1 ruins and that a number of lives were lost. The loss is estimated at ten' millions, but this is probably an exaggeration: Men whose . houses have tumbled over their heads and whose friends have been kill ad by fairing walls are hardly in a condition to make a reliable estimate of the damages arising from such a disturb ance. It -will require days and per haps weeks to learn the full extent of the! loss inflicted by .the earthquake It is certain, however, that Charles ton has suffered severely, and not at all improbable that its citizens need from their more fortunate neighbors something more substantial than mere words of sympathy. They he roically refused outside aid when a part of their city was devastated by a cyclone last year, but two disasters within so short a period may render vaidf necessary even to the most heroic and self-sacrificing people. If aid is required it should be extended freely. The wide expanse over which the earthquake was felt furnishes a lesson that should not be lost as to the un certainty of 4, he solidest. human pos sessions. What happened to Charles-tod-might just as easily have hap pehed to New York or Philadelphia, wfth results too sickening to con template. " 4t is this sense of the insecurity of StL; things which mankind have been wqnt to 'consider m6st stable that constitutes the chief terror of the i.earfchquaJce. - ..When the solid earth oCks4ike.aiiUaw 'of-the sea andthe strongest walls topple and crumble1 men very naturally ask themselvee Vt,V i. a i r . 4. rn l .1 . .1 and terror of the earthquake is in creased by the fact that it can neither bej foreseen nor guarded against; One cajvneither run away from it or run up a. lightning-rod that will neutral ize its effects. --Phila.
