Thr Street Commissioner, in stead of fixing the ditch in tront • of Mr. S. R. Biggs', has taken up the 12-inch tiling and put in 18-inch tiling, still leaving the ditch open as it was before. The waste matter, etc., that goes through this tiling and stops in front of Mr. Biggs' is enough to make anyone sick. We know whereof we speak. It is almost impossible for as to stay in our composing room at tunes, the odor from this ditch is so offensive. Still the Street Com missioner turns a deal ear to all entreaty to fix this place. .

A bout three months ago the na tional and state conventions were held and candidates nom inated to make the race for the various offices from president down. So that as to time we are nearing the three-quarter pole and will soon be coming down the home stretch. And it is here—on the home stretch —that raM?s are lost and won. The contest so far has been a rather uninteresting one. Only a few people have occu pied the grandstand, and a few more have lazily leaned upon the race track fence. But as the homestretch is reached there is a little more ginger apparent, a wakening on the part of the spectators, favorite colors are Hying in the grand stand, and somebody is getting ready to give a shout of victory. So far as the state ticket in North Carolina is concerned, wo know who will do the shout ing. In fact the notes of vic tory were sounded in the (irecnsboro convention wheu Capt. 11. B. Glenn was nouii najed for governor and the rest of the stute ticket named. An other sweeping Democratic vic tory will be reached in this state in November, removing the last vestige of the fusion regime from office. Two su preme court justices who went in during the days North Caro lina was in the hands of the Republicans and Populists, are still there, but will be replaced by Judges Hoke and Brown next January. It is certain that Messrs. •lolin 11. Small, Claude Kitch iu, Clias. It. Thomas, Edward W. Pou, William W. Kitchiu, G. B. Patterson, Robert N. Page and E. Yates Webb will be returned to the national con gress by handsome majorities. It is admitted that in the eighth and tenth districts, where Hons. W. C. Newland and Janicß M. Gudger are Ihe Dem ocratic nominees, and E. Spen cer Blackburn and H. G. Ew art are the Bepublican nomi nees, there is a fight going on, and the Republicans are expresing themselves as confi dent of victory. We are not willing to admit that they have ilie strongest grounds for their chims, but we do know that it is up to the Democrats to work hard in those districts. There's no time to be lost, but every man in those mountain dis tricts who desires to see the solid Democratic delegation continue iu congress must be stir himself to"see that every Democrat registers and votes for Newland and Gudger There ifc little doubt but that the national Bepublican oon gregional committee has its eye on the eighth and tenth North Carolina districts, kuow iug tiiat there b aii* upheaval on in the nation, and that their only hope ia to make a draper ate effort in every district where there ia any evidence ol Democratic disaffection or a here the vote was cloee enough two yeata ago to sup ply possible grounds for the hope of success by the use of money or the tempting bail of federal officea. a thorough cauvaas of these two districts is now being made by the can didates, and other good speak ers will be heard there before the campaign closes. The vo ters themselves, who are inter ested, must wake up and pu' on the whole Democratic ar mor of battle and get into the fight. With persistent and detennined ellorts on the part of the Democrats the election of Newland and (iudger will be assured. Another feature of (he cam paign most be watched, and that is the legislative tickets. Kepubhcansare watching close ly every county where there have been local dissensions and disturbances, no matter what the cause. There is danger that confidence in a sweeping state victory may be the means of producing local disaster in some counties Uist are safely Democratic when interest ia -ufficient to bring out the full vote. Don't be deceived. See that no side issues are iujected that will endanger the success of the ticket regularly nomina ted by the Democratic con ventions called and held by the pro|terly constituted authorities An important and valuable lesson may be learned from the getting together of the factions of the Democratic party in New York 011 the nomination of Judge Hernck for governor. Differences that have lasted a decade, or aimost a lifetime, were cheerfully thrown to the winds in the interest of party harmony and as a means of in suring Democratic success A shining example of parly loy alty, and a commendable yield ing of personal views and fac tional preferences to the more important attainment of party unity and success. , In the national political are na the outlook is brightening every day, and the home stretch of what har been so far a quiet race promises to be full of interest with the chances increasing for the Democra cy to win. - Wintersmith's ®l Car® m cumi | (CHILLS DENGUE, AGUE, LAGRtPPE, BILIOUS FEVER MALARIAL ILLS. 50c A COUNTY DEMO CRATIC COVENTION. ? * ———— A Large Enthusiastic Crowd Drunken ness Eliminated. i A very large and enthusiastic crowd attended the County Demo ' critic Convention here yesterday, r The drunken man was conspicuous . by his the most intdli t gent and representative crowd seen !in a Convention for a long time. !
