"I noticed an article, in the inula nf

is not correct as a historical f act " -"The
facts in regard to the origin of
the name, are as follows : The original
county of Mecklenburg was laid off
from Anson countv. in t.ho laffar

pnsea the territory now covered by the

chosen early in the year 1763, and the
nrsaeearegistered in the county was
Wpp by iGreorge f Alexander, Register of
uccu, uu tne zorn oi April, 1763. The
county was settled mainly bv Scotch
Irish Presbyterian emigrants from the
btate of Pennsylvania, who immediate
ly after erecting houses for the accom
modation of their families, erected
cmnchefclj jmd aear 4 School) houses.
Their settlements took their names
from those of their respective churches,
such as Sugar Creek, Providence, Steel
Creek, Hopewell, &c, and are known as
such settlements to this day. On the
8th of September. 1761. Geoica the TIT
of England, was: married to Charlotte,
mncess of Mecklenburg, of Germany.
The citizens of Mecklenburg county, at
that day, ; were ; loyal subjects of the
crown of Great Britain. Hence, in th

"Shortly after the location of the
court house, with its name, the citizens
were desirous of establishing a college.
A building was accordingly erected on
the lot now owned and occupied by A.
li. Davidsoni Esa arM-'n''academv nf
nigii graae opened, to grve aiassical
euucaiion 10 me youcn oi tne countv.
Shortly after this academy, which was
intended as the nucleus of a colleere.
was put in operation, a charter was ap
pliedifcjria rcoUege witli jthe'name of
made a short time before the rupture
orxne revolutionary war and was re
fused. It was, however, called a col
lege, and the street in the rear of Mr.
Davidson's lot, running parallel with
Tryon street, was named after the col
lege, and the spring then used by the
students, which is now covered by the
eras works, was known as colleere SDrinc
That such is the fact as to the marriage
of George the III, with Princess Char-
lottei see the American Encyclopaedia,
vol. 7, page 707, and as to the names of
the county and town, see Wheelers
History of North Carolina, page 280.
and those facts in conjunction with.
other facts I have stated, as to the ori
gin of the name of the county ,as well as
of the town, are confirmed by tradition
ary evidence handed down from gener;
ation to generation. J
"So it is clear that the historical fact,
set forth in the article which appeared
in the issue of vour oaDer of the 16th. as
to the origin of the name of this coun
ty, is incorrect.

. Reported Case mt Hydrophobia
A case of.wb.at is believed by some to
be hydrophobia is reported in the city.
jfieht before last L.awson Young, a
colored man, was suddenly seized with
a violent nt, which was toJiowed by a
, delirium, during which he arose from
his 'bed and attempted to innict vio
lence upon his wife and other persona
present. It M as finally found necessary
to tie him to the bed, and the colored
people who sat up with him during the
night report that all night long he
howled and veiled in all respects like a
dog. Several physicians in the city will
probably investigate tne case. j.ne ne

To the Editor of The Observer: V ' ,
Behold how good and how pleasant a
thing it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity. To insure harmony
and good feeling, and to remove": all
causes of strife and discontent, the
name of a citizen is presented; for
mayor, who , has the confidence arid
esteem of every clacs, and for whom all
can vote, with the assurance that his
election will redound to the interest of
the entire community. Allow me to
suggest the name of Wm. M. Shipp as
one in ! -whom centers every quality of
head and heart befitting the chief
magistrate of this growing city. L.
Another Kichmend to the Field.
To the Editor of The Observer:
The many friends of Mr. A. Brevaro!
Davidson would like, to see his name
brojight forward f or'the ofiice of may
or. He is a good, practical business
man, thoroughly versed in the school of
economy, of eminent financial ability1,
a large real estate owner and tax-payer,
and to his energy; and enterprise Charr

Let us reward those who have labored

, N Convention.
To the Editor of the Observer:
In, view o the fact that the present
contest for the mayoralty is altogether
non-political, we have determined that
there is no necessity for the nomination
of a candidate in any formal manner,
and have therefore concluded, after
mature deliberation, that wisdom dic
tates the indefinite postponement L of
the convention called for Monday night.
Many Citizens;
Ag-ainait the Convention.
To the Editor of The Observer:
The communication in this morning's
issue of the Observer calling a con
vention Monday evening is entirely
uncalled for. There is not- the least
necessity for a convention as there are
no political questions whatever in
volved. The people wish to be free to
vote as they please. Let it never be
said again in Charlotte that monev
make the mayor.

A Colored Man' Solemn Pretest
Againt Convention.
To the Editor of The Observer:
The colored people do protest against
holding a convention and making a
party nomination. We have voted to
gether' regardless of party spirit for the
last several years, and we have pros
pered as a people and there exists now
a most harmonious and inendly feel
ing between the races. The call tor this
convention means nothing else than the
bringing out or a partisan spirit. A
colored man can have no voice in that
meeting and may justly feel that politi
cal prejudice is about to be inaugurated
citizens do not approve of this call for
aconvention, but that fit is gotten up
for the benefit of a few office-seekers.
In the name of all that is dear to us as
a people, united in one common interest
and controlled by tne kindest spirit to
eactrtther, enter outmost solemn
protest against any measure that will
separate us as a people, either in intent
or spirit! 4 - ; - .
We have felt for the last several years
that -officers of our city5-government
were our officers, as well as the repre
sentatives of the white race ; and we
have given them a cheerful support in
all measures of good, and now we are
about to witness what we went through
just after the war. , ;;
, We hope to see out prominent white
citizehs frown down "any such effort as
the convention to alienate us irom you.
This is our country and we want to live
in peace and quiet with you.
A COLORED MAN.
Unity and Harmony,
To the Editor of The Observer:
We are pleased at the suggestion of a
convention in vour issue of Yester
day, 'provided the citizens of the city
will attend en masse, and maKe it a
representative meeting, expressive of
the popular will. It is . manifest . that
so f ar no name presented for the office
of mayor meets witn general approval.
rne purpose oi tins convenuon as
understood is to have a fair expression
of opinion without regard to the inter
est of. any particular classor individual.
We want no class candidates nor class
legislation, but the greatest good to the
greatest number. Therefore, let every
good citizen, wno nas tne wenare oi tne
etty at nearc aixena, anu am m me
nomination of a representative man,
competent and well qualified to repre

interest of peace and harmony. Come

There is no scarcity of men willing

underhanded way to secure one; but I particularly
solicit the deliberate, Independent vote. I am in
favor of strict economy and low taxes. There is no
polities in this election, therefore I shall -run the
race to the end and take the risk, let the result be
what it may. In thus- announcing myself, I think
It unnecessary to elaborate or make any further
statement of principles that may guide me; but
will truly say that I shall ever cultivate a genial,
brotherly spirit with those that I may beeeme asso
ciated with; and permit me, in conclusion, to make
this pledge: That If -honored with a majority of
your votes and consequent election, my best exer
tions shall be directed to a fair honest and im
partial discharge of my dudes.
Respectfully,'

In response to the solicitation of my friends. I

Wrenched aad Racket '
By the pangs of rheumatism, the Joints eventually
become grievously distortedV and sometimes as
sume an almost grotesQue deformity. To prevent
such results by a simple and agreeable means Is
certainly the part of wisdom. A tendency to rheu
matic ailments may be successfully combatted
with Hosteler's Stomach Bitters, a medicine with
the prestige of a long and successful career, of un
bounded popularity, and of emphatic professions
endorsement. It removes from the blood those in
flammatory impurities which pathologists assign
as the cause of rheumatism, and not only purifies
the life current, but enriches It, promoting vigor by
fertilizing its source. Digestion, the action of the
bowels and the secretion of the bile, are aided by
it, and it Impels the kidneys and bladder to a regu
lar and active performance, of their functions. It
Is besides a thoroughly reliable remedy for, and
means of preventing, periodic fevers. ;
