ThsffataagaDomotirat Ibnrsdajr, Apiil 22, J 807. Mo Kwt for the President. From ; reports, President McKlnley ia' having a very hard, trial with the hungry office seekers.'. Jtjs like o great army in numbers. The President left on a trip to get rid of tbo office seekers, for a time, but on his return to the Capitol he found the huge crowd awaiting - him. The plea of many-for office is that times are so hard that they can't live .without office.. The Dinsrlev tariff bill, if passed by the Senate, will prove dis astrous to the country and to the party. Already there is kicking and growling. Cer tain parties want a tariff on all matters pertaining to their own manufacture, but want the raw material free. There ie now a big fight over the wool schedule and vari ous other things. The bill as passed the House will be very much changed, but will jiard ly be bettered owing to tie extreme selfishness. Each S?n ator wants his State protect ed in everything manufactur ed. The North Carolina Sen ators want mica and mono zite protected, but cotton and tobacco don't need pro tection in the raw State, bui the manufacturers must have it. ' It is reported in several newspapers that an airship has been discovered flying through the air. First no tice was several cities in Kan 8as. A good many people saw the ship flying, e ver the town, and could see the ma chinery of the ship, and the lights. The next account we noticed the ship was seen at. Wilmington, N. C. On the 14th, inst. the ship was seen at VVilliamston, this State at 9 o'clock at night. We ap pend a special to the Messen ger: Williamston, N. C.', April e j mi . seen at Wilmington and oth er poiuts was observed here last night about 9 o'clock. When first noticed it appear- eaasa diopk mass against the moon lit sky, goingslow ly irora South to North. Its fuiicuae was not greai, oeing 'near enough to enable the observer to discern outlines of its rigging with the naked eye. As it pas&ed over town it ascended rapidl and a 'brilliant light was thrown 1 t It. I'l... uui im uurau 'Ji ii. mr light was seen by some who could not, on account of the nroar naar it nun urro nn -2atch the faintest glimpse of the aerial machine If it - t . snouia appear again tnere will be maoy to behold. ft.,a8 ' I StlT 'a. J peupie are mucn mteresiea and will wptcri for its- re-appearance. , Fires, floods, fools, radicals and wrecks are ruining the country with a vim. It is hard to tell which is worse in its destruction. Fires, floods and wrecks, are of natural occurrence especially 'floods and wrecks, fires are mostly caused by negligence. Fools and radicals onirht ro hi lr. o - - e islated against in some way to prevent tne much harm they do to the country. Dinr gley represents both in his tariff bill. . . ; Don't dally with rheumatism. Pnrify your blood and cure it at once by taking a couraeof Hoods Sarsaparilla. s " ' t ; - . Another report says that .den. M.icoo isstill alive. The 3 reek troops have.de feated the. Turks at Macedo nia in an engagement on the loth, and the capture of Kipuri Noi th of Baltino by the Greeks is confirmed - and that they ha ve ad vanced as far as Pitavitza. A stubborn fight Is also reported at An- akoutra and.Kanakoutra In which the Turks were routed from their strongholds. Italy is giving the Greefcs aid. The war between Turkey and Greece is certainly on, and the general rear It. will betook ed for with great interest throughout the world. Great results will probably follow this war if it continues long. Surely the great powers of Europe will not look on and allow the Turks to . butcher Greece like the United States have done in the Cuban war. We think that our Govern ment has acted very strange if not cowardly in allowing Spain to continue to murder the helpleps women and chil dren of Cuba out side of the bHrbarous treatment of the Cuban soldiers and the cruel ty to the Ameri?ans who have lived in Cuba and have property there. The MeKin le.v policy is following close in the foot-steps of the Cleve land policy. Why not recog nize Cuba aa belligerant? Yoi Can B Well When your blood is pure, rich and nourishing for nerves and muscks. The blood is the vital fluid, and when it is poor, tbin and impure you must either suffer from Bonie dwtmwing disease or you will easily lall a victim to sudden changes exposure, or over work. Keep your blood pure with Hood's Sarsaparilla and be well. - Hood's Pills are the best after dinner pill; assist digestion, cure headache. 25 cents. - OBITUABT. John A. Gryder. was born April 11th, 1813, and died April 2nd, 1897, aged 83 years 11 months and 21 days Brother Grydei joined the Macedonia Baptist Church, ir Alexander county, in Sept. 1847. Hence he lived a mem ber of the church for50 years and more. Was married Sept. 19th. 1845. He is the father of four children, one son and three daughters The son was lost in the war; the wid ow and three daughters sur vive him. Bro. Gryder was a good man, an affectionate hus band and father. He was a man of whom little, that was rrirtful, could be said. He lived a quiet, peaceful, christ ian life, and has gone to his reward. Oh! that we could live so that, after spending fifty years ia a christian life, so lit tle bad and so tnucn good could be said of us. To the fiiendsand relatives we say, let.us emulate his ex amples, fpllowirg closely his Savior,. looking forward io a day when w e shall meet again. J. F. Davis.

Pearbora St., Chicago. y-: -V'V The New jersey city elec tions, like others, have gone considerably .Democratic. Even vice-President Hobarts town went Democratic. The Democrats are feeling splen did over the recent elections, while the Republicans have the dry gins and claim' that local cunsea influenced the elections, but many pi the in formed Republican say that the passage of the Dingley tariff bill by the radicals was the. cause and predict, that the Democrats will carrji the country next year with : a whoop. Many of the best and most conservative Re publicans opposed any tariff legislation this summer, and now declare, that the last campaign was fought on the money question. Now ' all legislation is directed to the tariff issue only. The people are clamoring for more cur rency and Congress is engag ed in raising our taxes by high tariff with no money with which to buy. Failures and strikes and general bank ruptcy are staring the people in the face, but Congiess heeds not, and goes on with rawing the tai iff. The peo ple are disheartened and much provoked. President McKin ley basap pointed Senator Wolcot, J. J. Payne nnd A. E. Steven son as commissioners to an international monetary con ference. The object is to get England and other European Governments to adopt Bi mettaliem by an internation al agreement. So great is the demand by the people for the restoration of silver that the Administration sees "the hand writing on the wall.'' We ail would like to.see inter national agreement which we don't expect ever to come about by agreement with England. The United States ought to have moved in this matter long ago it would hav saved many men from bankruptcy and have preven ted much suffering among our own people Hiid other nations. If the United States would have restored silver coinage, other nations would have followed and prosperi ty would be here now. - The Urandert Bemedjv Mr. R. B. Qreeve, merchant, of Chilhowie, Va, certifies that he had consumption, was given up to die. sought all medical treat ment that money could procure, tried all cough r medies he could hear of but got no relief, spent many nights sitting upin a chair, whs induced to 'try Dr. King's flew Discovery, and was cured by use of two bottles. For past three rears has been attending to business, and says Dr. Ring s New Discovery is the grandest remedy ever made, as it has done so much for him and also for oth era in his community Dr. King's New Discovery is guaranteed tor cougbs, colds and consumption. It doii't tail. Trial bottles free at Holsclaw's an J Blackburn's. The recent municipal elec tions show that two much tariff is not the thing. More money to buy with will fit the times much better. SomathlBf to Inaw. - - It may be worth something to know t hat the very best medicine tor restoring the tired out, ner vous system to a hf altby vigor is Electric Bitters. This ledi- cine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently ..stimulat es the Liver Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing oft im, Durities in the blood. Electric Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have trad it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. .
