IREDELL TOPICS.
An Inferior Court Established New
Board of CommiicioDers The Coun
ty Vote Last Thursday.
Correspondence of the Observer.
State8Vtxle, Nrc, Aug. 5th, 1878.
Among the many laws passed by our
UftsiJLegjslature, perhapsjjone was bet
ter receivea dv ine people at large
than that allowing each county to de
cide by its magistrates as to the estab
lishment of an Inferior Court in its
borders. This return, as it virtually
would be, to the old 'County Court"
system which flourished and wrought
good under the old regime of "our
fathers" met the popular approval, and
was very generally adopted by the va
rious counties of the State. The
measure, although popular in Iredell,
was voted down by our magistrates last
year, they regarding it as possessing
no special advantages over that in ex
istence. To-day, however that deci
sion was reversed. Our magistrates
having assembled here it was decided
by a vote of; 83 to -11 to establish an
Inferior Court in this county, and the
following persons were chosen, after
considerable balloting, to conduct such
court, namely: For judges A P
Sharpe, Dr Robt T Campbell and Jas
M Patterson. For solicitor W H Reid.
For clerk M C Williams.
The same body also elected the fol
lowing persons to constitute the new
board of county commissioners, viz :
A W Jamison, H A Nail, A C Tomlin,
J M Alexander and Jas F Dotson.
The voice of the politician is low in
the land ; it is no longer heard in the
streets entreating men to guard well
their country's honor by electing its
possessor to some position of emolu
ment and trust. Iredell county only
had at the last one independent to
deal with, and she, to use a phrase
which independentism is alone an
swerable for, "sat down oh' him,"
though not quite as heavily as the
"faithful'' could have wished, yet suf
ficiently: to preclude; the' possibility of
rbis'ever passing a doer law or damaging
Vance's chances, for the Senate. More
than 2,000 voters failed to exercise the
right of freemen by remaining away
from the polls on election day, some
thing over 1,400 being the highest yote
received against 3,600 in the Vance
election. T.
CONGRESSIONAL LABOR COMMITTEE.
The Testimony Before It Yesterday and
the Questions It Desires Answered.
New Yoek, August 6. This being
the last day of the session of the con
gressional labor investigation commit
tee. the attendance was unusually
arge. ueo J McNeill, president ot
the international working men's union,
of West Somerville, Mass., was the nrst
witness. The whole difficulty, in nis
Opinion, is toe wage system oi lapor,
Or in other words, tnat tne wage sys
tem and steam engine are contempo
raneous, and that the productive pow
er has exceeded the power of consump
tion. '
Mr Peck; of Dauling, Conn., thought
that instead of lending hundreds of
millions of dollars to the banks the
eovernment should lend a few hun
dred millions, free of interest, to the
workingmen.
Another gentleman was ior aooi-
iahincr the United States Senate, re
stricting the power of Congress, and
that the President issue sos per capita,
ourtailing the hours of labor to six and

Pleasant Time at an Ohio Barbecue
Four Shot, One Fatally.
Cincinnati, August 6. At a barbe
cue at Sandy Bif&ky, Saturday even
ing; Jno Thompson and Wm Gordon
began quarreling and firing upon each
other. Their respective friends and
followers immediately drew pistols and
80 shots were fired. Gordon was wound
ed in the face ; Thompson's horse was
killed under him ; Leonardas Howard
was shot in the hip; Donan Eoach in
the lung and will probably, die. Wal
ter Eoach had his horse killed. The
deputy sheriff is raising a force and
will endeavor to arrest all the partici
pants. Three Women Killed by a Falling Limb.
Cincinnati, August 6. A special
from Anna, Illinois, states that three
women Mrs Smith, Miss Miller and
Miss Matthias, while seeking shelter
from a storm. Sunday evening, were
killed by the top of a large Oak tree
which was broken off and hurled upon
them.
Clear the Way
For the escape from the system of its waste
and debris, which, if retained would vitiate
the bodily ntuds and overthrow health.
That important channel of exit, the bowels,
may be kept permanently free from obstruc
tions by using the non-griping, gently act
ios and agreeable cathartic. Hostetter's
8tomach Bitten, which not only liberates
imparities, bat invigorates the lining of the
intestinal canal when weakened by consti
pation or the unwise use of violent purga
tives. The stomach, liver and urinary or
gans are likewise reinforced and aroused to
healthful action by this benehcient tonic
and corrective, and every organ, fiber, mus
cle and nerve experiences a share of its in
vigorating influence. Unobjectionable in
flavor, a most genial and wholesome med
icinal stimulant, and owing its efficacy to
botanic sources exclusively, it is the reme
dy best adapted to household nse on ac
count of its safety, wide scope and speedy
action.
Where to Spend the Summer
What man with a
family having once
been crowded into some ami
ill ' sxy parlor"
in that hottest of all known places Sarato
gaor has been continually jostled and
elbowed bv the Metropolitan throng that
rolic alternately in dust and surf at Long
Branch, but that has vowed never again to
repair to summer resorts. And yet with
each returning season, comes the query
where shall we go? Since last season anew,
commodious and elejrant Hotel has been
completed and furnished by Dr R V Pierce,
in liottalo, N. Y., at a cost of nearly hair a
million dollars. No place on this continent
possesses more advantages for the tourist,
pleasure seeker, or those in search of rest
and relaxation from the cares of business,
than this. 1st, Its accessibility. 2nd, Its
cool, bracing and salubrious climate; the
thermometer ranging in summer from 65 to
7b degrees Fahrenheit. 3d, The attractions
of the Hotel and Its environs. Ail these
combine to render it the most desirable re
sort for those in search of relaxation and
rest. Located on a bluff overlooking the
city of Buffalo, Lake Erie, Bugalo Bay, and
Niagara river as it rapidly winds its way
between island and villa to the great Catar
act iust beyond, it affords one of the finest
of American scenes. Address all letters of
inquiry to "Manager of Invalids' and Tour
iste' Hotel." Bufialo, N. Y.

Independent
Candidates.
rjlHIS is a free country and any one who
desires to be a candidate has a right to run
on an independent ticket. The regular
nomii.ee, however, will take the lead, just
as Perry's cigars are leading the trade in
Charlotte.
Don't fail to try his 5 and 10 centers. The
Jewel" Chewing Tobacco is new in this
market, but for the price is the best known
(lOc for i of a plug.)
Those wishing to buy at wholesale should
call at Peiry's. Cigars from $15 per thous
and upwards.

I
J TAKE pleasure in informing my friends
that I will leaye Charlotte on the 23rd June,
foi the Paris Exposition , and expect to be
absent three months. During my absence
my business will be under the management
of my brother, Ambrose Fiscbesser.
I trust that my friends will give the "Ini

sence, the patronage that they have so gen
erously given me in the past.
