Of better days that mortals sing When all were happy as the spring; When none knew want or discontent; No back by selfishness was bent, When hearts were pure and heads were sound; When not a grumbler could be found If folk Avere wiser, better then, Tray tell us" where it was and when. For brighter days let mortals sigh, And hope lor fortune by and by Prosperity to fill the laud. With plenty strewn on every hand; When all men shall be wise and good Bound up in one grand brother hood But point out now some of the men Who are to be contented then. 'Tis in the future or the past Ambitious man must live at last. He looks behind or hopes before, Despiring all his present store; Forgets all blessings of to-day, And follows fancy far away. What man has not he magnifies, And pleasure with possession dies. Philadelphia Press. SOVEREIGN GRAND LODGE. The Odd Fellows' Assemblage at Chattanoga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sep tember 18. The business session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Ferlowrs this morning as sembled in Lookout Convention Hall. The question of the next place of meeting came up. Wash ington City had a determined set of delegates working for her, but they were in the minority and Atlantic City was chosen. Among those who favored Wash ington there is a great deal of dissatisfaction. They say that the wires were pulled by the hotel men at Atlantic itv. When the election of officers for the ensuing year came up . Representative Morns of Ken tucky nominated Deputy Grand Sire John W. Stebben of Mary land, for the office of Grand Sire, and Representative Masson nomi nated Herman Block, of New Jersey was also placed in nomi nation. Representative Hum phrey nominated Wm. E. Carlin. of Illinois, and further nomina tions were made in tho persons of John B. Goodwin, of Atlanta; Hon. Fred Carleton, of Texas; A S. Pinkston, of Mass. ; Gen. E. M loan, of fct. Tiouis. 1 he nomi nations then ceased, and the first ballot was takenr resulting as follows: Carleton, 51; Pinkston, 32; Block, 27; Isard, 25; Carlin, 19; Godwin, 15; Sloan, 6. Second ballot Pinkston, 40; Carleton, 84; Block, 25; Isard, 16. Total, 165. Carleton, of Texas, was de dared elected. Theodore Ross, of New Jersey, was unanimously re-elected as Grand Secretary and Isaac Shep pard, of Pennsylvania, was un animouslv re-elected Grand Treasurer. After some routine business the meeting adjourned. The grand parade was an hour late in moving. The column reached the corner of Ninth and Market streets at 3 o'clock Never before was the main street of the city so packed and jammed with humanity. At the Corner of Eighth and Market, a grand triumphal arch had been erected and just completed this morning barely in time to permit of the scaffolding before the parade moved. The structure is the most artistic and costly thing of the kind ever erected in the South. It is built in the manner of con struction used on the World's Fair buildings, and closely re sembles marble. Emblematic figures of the Order decorate its several sides. The arch is really three arches in one, the tallest . being sixty feet from base to top 300 incandescent lights il luminate :it at night. Under this arch one of the most credit able parades of the kind ever seen in Chattanooga passed, headed by the Chattanooga police force, and two bands. It was an imposing spectacle. The features of the parade were eight emble matic floats of the Order. These, in a well-arranged manner repre sented "Daughters of Rebekah," 'The Sea of Life," "Jonathan Before King Saul," "The Good Samaritan." "The Temple of Truth," "Odd Fellowship En circles the Earth," "Rebekah at the Well," and "An I. O. O. F Home." After the parade the visitors were driven over the Missionary Ridge to Bragg's old headquar ters, and owing to the exception ally fine weather of the afternoon the drive proved mucn more en joyable than the one the day previous to Chicamauga . To-night a brilliant reception and re-union in honor of the past Grand Representatives is being held in the First Baptist Church HARMON NEUZEIT. The beautiful Hebrew syna gogue in this city was a scene of brilliancy and artistic decora tions last evening- and was thronged to standing room by the hosts of friends of the con tracting parties to witness the marriage of Dr. David Sol Har mon, of this city, and Miss Clara Neuzeit,-of Norfolk. The happy event was solemu- zed at 8.30 o'clock according to the impressive ceremonies of the Hebrew ritual and all present felt more than a momentary inter est in the solemn services their thoughts traveled back in waver ing flight along the years and the centuries of Israel's history to the time when Isaac and Re becca plighted their troth, when love was young and life was new: and so the world roils on and on, and the 4 'old, old story is told o'er and o'er, that w hen mutual and merged into plighted troth makes the truth of the poet's words, "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one." Promptly at the appointed hovir the bridal party arrived, and as the organ, presided over by Airs. R. G. Craton, pealed forth the joyous strains of the wedding march, they proceeded up the side aisles to the chancel rail in the folio wine: order: the ushers Messrs. Abe Cohu and Chas. Pearl up the right and left aisles, respectively, Mrs. Louis Selig, attired in white silk, with Mr. A; VanPraag, up the right aisle. Mrs. Ike Adler, handsomely at tired in pink china silk, with Mr. Adler up the left aisle; then approached the bride, beautifully arravedin white satin, wTith lace and pearl trimmings, and lovely diamond ear-rings, the gift of the groom, leaning upon the arm oFher uncle, Mr. M. Frankfurt At the altar stood the rabbi, Mr. Mayerberg, in the robes of his ministry waiting to perform the ceremony, and as uie iair Driae approached, the gallant groom was led forth from the vestry by his "best man,"' Mr. A. R. Spier, and presented before the waiting minister, who in a rich full voice began the solemn service of the Hebrew marriage that wras to make the two one. Immediately after the cere m ny the bridal party repaired in carriages to the spacious par lors of the Hotel Kennon, which had been elaborately adorned for the joyous occasion, and where the numerous invited guests as they gathered for the festivities of the evening, found a perfect galaxv of beautiful, costly and useful bridal presents, which, coming from widespread sources and many homes, attested more eloquently than words can por tray the high esteem in which the bride and groom are held by their hosts of friends. The wedding feast, which was spread under the direct super vision of Messrs. Griftin & Ed wards, the congenial and hospit able proprietors of the Hotel Kennon, was most sumptuous and elaborate and throughout its several courses was perfection itself. Among those who participated in the festivities and social inter course of tne evening the Argus man noted the following: Mr. and Mrs. Sol Weil, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Spier, Mr. and Mrs. M. Einstein, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hill, Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Jones. Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Mil ler, Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Spicer, Dr. Thos. Hill and daughter Miss Mary Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Sol.

Mr. 13. 11. unmn, Miss Margaret Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. E. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs E.. G. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Watts, Maj. D. W. Hurtt. Business is Increasing. . One thing which struck me very forcibly while I was in New York City .was the statement made on every hand by the wholesale dealers of the marked improvement in business. This is demonstrated by the excess ively large orders for the spring trade. These orders come m during the fall, and the mer- chants say they are phenomen- ally large at this time. It is a good sign however, f or it indi- cates more clearly than could otherwise be shown, perhaps, the state of business throughout the country. If times were net improving and business increas ing these merchants,, would not be receiving such large orders for goods. RANSOM.' RINGING WORDS. The Senator at Smithfield Pours out a Flood of Eloquence to the Johnston County Democrats. 25.000 Men and Women Present to Hear the Ora tor, Soldier and States man. Captain Buck Kitchen Overcome by the Speakers -Persuasive Power. Yesterday in the Court House at Smithheld, twenty-nve hundred-people came together to hear our Senior Senator Matthew W. Ransom. . , The house was packed despite the fact that the day opened up inclemently. But at the first utterance oi the Speaker the clouds broke away and tne oiue sKy came through the leaden mist as a benizen upon the that followed. golden words was graceful, The Senator handsome and at his best The Senator was handsomely introduced by Mr. Narrow in a few minutes speech, and he fol iowed in a speech of two hours. He was then followed by Mr McLean in a brilliant twenty minute's talk in which he pro nounced an applauded eulogy upon the old war horse. The Senator s speech was upon big lines. He congratulated the people of Johnston upon the out look, and thrillingly went back for a moment to the time when he had been in elbow touch with the men around -him; referred in cidentally to his forty years of public association with them and and their brother North Caro linian; approached the great questions upon which the Demo cratic party had gone into power and vindicated its record, and concluded with a broad contrast between 'Democracy, f Republi licanism and Populism in this country. Capt. Ki'chin was tempted several times to applaud, but was approached by his more self-controlled ally Captain Creech and apparently held dow7n by that Populistic poten tate. Afterwards Captain Kit chen said that the passages of the Senator's s eech had almost brought tears to his eyes. The little bunch of Populists present all seemed to be elf ected in the same way as was their leader Captain Kitchin. The speaker first took up the deliverance that had come to us m tne repeal oi tne .f ederal Election Law, and dwelt upon the dark days through whicn he had been to fret to the limt. The speaker was magnificent in this portion oi nis speecn and was tumultuously applauded. My countrymen, do not leave the Democratic party. Do not give up the party of your life We have reduced the taxes "o per cent. ; we have broken up the trusts: from July 1st, 1893, to July 1st, 1894, the Democrats re duced tne expenses ot tne gov ernment ?8,8bo,ox. This was in our first year, and I defy any man to contradict it, saved this to the American people I tell you to stand by the Dem ocratic party. By the River and Harbor Bill $12,000,000 in all $41,000,000 saved by Demo cratic prudence and honesty, and my f ellowT-country men, you know t lat I would not deceive you for this arm Then there are the Repeal of the Federal Election Law, adop tion of the Tariff Law, crushing out of trusts, . cheapening of prices, and reduction of taxes Do the proper thing and ap prove them. I have been speaking to you forty-seven years and no man has ever dared to dispute one word I ever spoke to the people, My God, my friends, my coun try, how can such delusions as those of the Third party have a footinj? in this land I have walked down the Pato mac by the tomb of Washington to the Sea. I have looked toward the North and its progress with out envy. Then I have turned to ward the South during its mo ments of brightness and dark ness. What has brought it bright ness? The Democratic party and that is why I stand by it. The Democratic is and ever will be he true friend to the Southern people. Neither calumnies nor injustice has ever shaken it in the faith-of the South. Listen, tell me if I am not right? Come and reason, and revere home and wives and the graves of your fathers. But two southern men were put in the cabinet at Washington during twenty years of Kepubli- can rule. Think of it ye Populists land Republicans! But one South- lern judge was ever put by them, upon the Supreme Bench; Judge Jackson, of Tennessee, two weeks before President Harrison went out of office," because he knew it was necessary .in order to get the confirmation of the oenate. For twenty yeers there was not a 'Southern man m the offices - of GOLDSBORO, K. G.. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 1894 the Capitol. This great section was blighted witn darKness. Come and tell me what man from North Carolina was in high office under Harrison? One man in this State of 1,700,000, the first State to proclaim liberty. Oliver Dock- ery did have a consulship in Rio. They gave John Nichols a $2, 000 position. Who did Mr. Har rison appoint r 1 had one Demo crat, Judge Thomas Fuller, ap pointed. What else did Mr. Har rison do? Mr. Cleveland put three South ern men in ins caoinet during each term. He filled the foreign courts with Southern men. In every corridor at Washington you see honest, Southern men. Justice has been done us by the Democratic party. Three Supreme court judges have been appointed; two of them Lamar and White, were from the bouth. You cannot get this justice for the South accept at the hands of the Democratic party. Justice is immortal and omnipotent, jus tice which is the law of God, which holds the sun in its place, which keeps the grass green and women true. God may hayc shaken my rea- son, out it tnese are trutns, l cannot see how a Southern man can vote for other than the Dem ocratic party. This commonwealth of ours embraces 52,500 square miles of territory. The great waves of other lands strike the sands of ours and our mountains lift their hands almost to the sky. Cortrast this commonwealth now with what it was between 1868 and 1875. We now lie down with unlocked doors and in peace under the shield of the Demo cratic party. The taxes in North Carolina are lower than in any other ag ricultural State in the Union Will vou put a blot upon it, I ask you, in the name of 500, 000 chil dren and of o00,000 women, in memory of the ashes of your brave brothers who lie on the red hills of Virginia. How well we know of the Race problem that confronted us Lightnings flashed from the cloud with deadly brilliancy, the world dreamed, philosophers wrote and women trembled. Now the creat race question is being settled in peace. Grover Cleveland, great and noble and patriotic man as he is ( great applause), both of the great parties rose up as one and applauded Cleveland when he suppressed their lawlessness. This land which is the light of the wTorld, do you want to turn it over to the mob. It must not be. Tennessee has said no by 33,000 majority, Alabama by 30,000, Arkansas by 30,000 and Virginia by 30,000, and just here you will find North Carolina (tremendous applause.) After thirty years of darkness and misery and prayers from our sweet women we are now upon the borders of the promised land. We have peace. The next time, the Democrats will come to the great work upon the financial problem and before the 4th day of next March. I be- leve in gold and silver being equal and paper money redeem able in the metal. The Demo cratic party has only one more duty and that is to give you good currency which it will do. The speaker compared the Populists to the Israelites crying for the flesh pots of Higyptwhila Moses was receiving the law from God on the height of Sinai. Men of North Carolina, do we intend to emulate the Israelites while we are on the borders of light? This must not be. This party born with the union is tha party for eternal justice. It will stand and survive. Go home, organize, in every township. Do not be over-con fident. Do your work. Invoke the blessing of God and I pray Him to give us victory over the enemy, by our women with in fants upon their bosoms, and see that the party is preserved in tact in this country of progress and of law. " The orator sat down in the midist of an ovation, with tears in the eyes of his hearers. He had won the victory even over his opponents. Pikeville Letter. Pikeville, Sept. 17th, Dear Araws: The weather during the past week Las been fine and cotton picking has been going on rapidly. The revival meeting at Mount Carmel church near here contin ues with unabated interest. Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Aycock, of ' the Fremont section spent Sunday -jvith relatives- in town. Prof. W. A. Ferrell returned home this morning from Elm City, wrhere he preached Sun day. . Miss Ella Vail, of the Salem section, was in town last week on a visit. where she has many admiring friends j! F. U. DISTINGUISHED DE3IOCRATS Present at the Meeting of the Association of Democratic clubs Senator Ransom the chief Orator (Argus Special.) RAleigh, Sept. 20. The convention of Democratic clubs of the State that convened here to-day is a great meeting of representative Democrats from all over the State. The first session of the Con vention convened at 11 o'clock this morning in the Academy of Music and the spacious hall was thronged to accomodate the large concourse. i In addition to scores of promi nent Democrats from all sections of the State, the following dis tinguished men from other States are present and delivered excel lent utterances upon Democratic fealty to the masses, Democratic achievements and Democratic aggressiveness: Hon. Chancey F Black, of Pennsylvania, Presi dent of the National Association of Democratic clubs; Hon. Law rence Gardner, Secretary of the National Association of Demo cratic Clubs; Hon. Chas. H. Man- sour, i Assistant Comptroller of the United States Treasury, and others, whose names we cannot obtain. It is a great source of pride to every North Carolinian, while vieingwith one another to do honor to their distinguished vis itors, that the great speech of the occasion was made this even ing by that peerless, orator, statesman, patriot, soldier. Dem ocrat, and North Carolinian, Sen ator Matt. W. Ransom. As he swayed that vast multitude by his matchless oratory and sub lime eloquence, and as we looked out upon that sea of upturned faces beaming with enthusiasm that his portrayal of Democracy aroused, and as the mighty waves of their spontaneous applause rolled up again and again, it was a convincing evidence of the truth of the immortal Vance's dyin words. It was indeed "T he voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters saying" Democ racy is invincible. Democracy is immortal. Japan Among the Powers. The defeat of the Chinese at Ping Yang explains the bewild ering dispatcnes we have been getting hitherto. The Japanese have been making a bewildering campaign, as bold in plan as it h is been brilliant in execution. At the very outset, the de struction of the Chinese trans oort cut off reinforcements to the enemy by sea, and they have kept their fleet moving about so rapidly and so mysteriously that they have driven the opposnx fleet under cover and kept the Chinese anxious for their home defenses. Meantime they had increased their armies iu Corea and had established themselves near the Chinese frontier to cut off communication by land. At length having everything prepared and the enemy already at a disadvantage, they moved with great celerity and precision ncainst the Chineee army, in front, flank and rear, and crushed it by a single blow. The whole campaign, as far as we can estimate it from the mea gre information at hand, appears Napoleonic. It puts the Japanese in complete possession in Corea, aid before the Chinese can send another army against them they will have time to set up the inde pendent reformed government which has been their ostensible object, with a very good chance of its recognition by the outside powers. In that event China will not be able to disturb it. Whether the end be thus shortly attained or not, Japan has al ready made her mark and has emerged from Oriental obscurity as one of the Powers that here after must be reckoned wilh. And this moans much how much we can hardly conjecture-in the future politics of the worldr; The idea is held by a very numerous class of people con cerning currency expansion that seven ty .millions of people, as -a nation, bv making themselves as individuals, a f ree gift of a certain number of dollars created out of nothing, will double their prospe- ity.On the same line of reasoning we have only to continue the pro cess indefinitely until every man woman and child in the country isa millionaire. . "GROWING OLD. It does, indeed, to me seem strange, Since in myself I feel no change, That in the friends whoss love I hold, I see a something day by day That daily plainer seems to say, The friends you love are growing old. A deepening of the lines of care, A tiny wrinkle here and there, I see; a silvering of the gold. A shadow underneath the brows Be sprinkled now with powdered snows, Where clustered dusky locks of old. With sober gladness they rejoice, More mellow grown each merry voice, Each smile less bright, less cold; Still cherished friends as ever we, Hand claspeth hand more tenderly As days go by and we grow old. As we grow old! ah! this is strange! said I felt in me no change, Yet plain as these mv words have told Upon my beard faint stre.iks of gray Say silently to me to-day, Thou, with thy lrienus, art grow ing old! The Odd Fellows. Chattanooga, Sept. 20. The third day's session of the Sover eign Grand Lodge, 1. O. O. b . was opened at Lookout Inn this morning at 9 o'clock. The report of the committee appointed to locate and erect a building as headquarters in Baltimore, was postponed inde finitely. The law requiring a canton tax was repealed. A Past Grand Masters- anu Past Grand Patriarch's Associa tion was authorized for each jurisdiction. A special committee was ap pointed to investigate the alleged misappropriation ot tunds do nated to the Fargo sufferers. The temporary bond of $10,- 000 each, made by the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer, is to be made permanent after six months. Legislation on the admission of women to the Order through the Rebekah Lodge came next. The new legislation admits all Odd Fellows and wives and all white women over 18 years of age who "Believe in the Ruler of the Universe." Formerly only the wives of Odd Fellows were admitted. The ladies had their time of pleasure this afternoon, being taken as the guests of the local Rebekah Lodge (Florence, No. 32) for a drive over the Govern ment road to Missionary Ridge and DeLong's place where a Bo hemian luncheon was served. Nicaragua Advices. New Orleans, Sept, 20. The steamer John Wilson arrived this afternoon from Bluefields. On board the steamer was Capt. James Brown, agent of Oteri Line at Bluenelds, who has re turned to the State for a short while. Capt. Brown said to a re porter by the steamer Gussie. The Nicaraguans are pursuing the even tenor of their way and are administering the govern ment of the reservation accord ing to their own wTay of thinking Business in the town of Blue- fields is very dull aad there does not appear to be much chance tor a revival of trade. The banana planters are shipping nearly the same quantity of fruit, but the demand is not as gd as it might be for the season of the year. The disturbed condition of things in the reservation for the past several months has destroyed the confidence of the foreigners in nearly -everything connected with the country and it is useless to expect much progress until all danger of more internal dist up- tions is over. The U. S. war-ship Marble- head, which has been lying off the bluffs, has gone to Port Dimon. She carried back the two Americans, Sim Lampton and Captain Miltbanks, who had been carried to the country from Costa Rica by the British ship Mohawk. Captain O Neil, of the Marblehead, had taken the two men to Bluefields, with the in tention of seeing them tried, at their own request, for the crimes which the Nicaraguan Commis sioners have laid at their doors, but both Maddris -andCabesas, still have supreme control of af fairs in Bluefields, would not grant permission for the men to be given tnals and would not ai low them to be tairen asnore.

The Manufacturers' lleevnl, iu its re view of railroad and industrial matters in the South for the week says: The August reports of promi nent railway systems in the South show a gratifying gain in the ag gregate over the same month of 1893 and as a group they make a much better display than the trunk lines, the Northwestern or the Western groups. For example, the earnings of the Chesapeake & Ohio; Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham: L. & N. ; Memphis & Charleston; Mobile & Ohio; Nashville, Chat tanooga & St. Louis: Norfolk & Western, and Southern (R. & D. and East Tenn.. Va. & Ga. ) reached 5.720,187 last August, nearly 600,000 more than in August, 1893. Nine of the North wTest lines shoAved an increase of less than 100,000 over August, 1893, while six trunk lines in the Middle and Eastern States de creased over 500,000, and a group of twenty other lines in the Middle and Western States Western States decreased about 200,000. This gain in Southern earnings is not due to the cotton movement, for comparatively little has been shipped by rail as yet. It is principally caused by the general increase in business in the South. Among the new railroad enter prises are electric roads in Geor gia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Florida, aggregat ing nearly bU miles, and a mile branch of the Gould system in Texas. Throughout the entire South there is a very decided revival in industrial matters, and this is especially noticeable in tne re sumption of work at many con cerns that have been idle lor months. There is also a decided increase iu the organization of important manufacturing and mining enterprises. Odd Fellows. Chattanooga. Tenn., Sept 21. Upon the resumption of business in the Sovereign Grand Lodge this morning, the report of the Committee on Patriarch's Militant Avas taken up. Repre sentative Kixey,. ot Missouri, sought to amend the report by making all members of the Scar let Degree eligible for admission into the Patriarch's Militant, but the report was defeated. The preamble and resolutions from New York touching the status of aged members whose lodges are defunct, were reported on and adopted. The foreign relations ot the Order are reported in fine condi tion, and d00 -was donated to ex tend the work in Europe. The report of the - committee, adverse to allowing lodges the privilege of making a minimum benefit of fcl per weeK lor a limited time and to increase it to 2 afterwards,' was laid over for another year. The Judiciary Committee re ported that the support of the widows and the maintenance ol the orphans of deceased Odd Fellows is not a charity but a legal obligation, and that in the discharge of this sacred duty a Grand Lodge has full power to make reasonable and necessary assessments upon the subordi nate lodges to provide and main tain homes for such dependents The special committee ap pointed to investigate the mis appropriation of funds at Fargo, N. D., reported that the Fargo local committee had received -aext January lmt will sell "ore are all .f 13,000, and disburseuGootis brethren 3,000, and that areMe8 bui sement was not to su by fire, but to those who able to at once donate the s to their lodge to be used in pfit ment of mortgages on lodge out perty. The actual relief extende was only about 2,200, and tht balance was used as above stated. The committee found that the acfion of the Fargo brethern was censurable in the highest degree, and ordered the Grand Todo-a nf North Dakota to at once see that all attention was given to the re lief of actual distress the origK nal purpose ofthe call anWlll other funds at once be returned to the donators. The peculiar fea ture of this case was that tfc Grand Lodge, of North Dakota found that it-was a misappropria tion of the donation, but took no active steps to force a restitution of the money, and the renort, Adopted this day censures in em phatic te rms fiiii: Qno difference to tliP ininti the real sufferers as well as those whose liberality was so frater nally shown towards them. At the close of the afternoon session the "Kansas matter" was reached, but the body adjourned before wading into it. This is a question in which t,K TT-ncoC brethren are deeply interested. i o tnem it involves the owner ship or control of a property valued at 100,000, and naturally e 7ery Odd Fellow in K-M,e na well as the civil courts of the country, are looking anxinnslv for its termination. THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE. o ; Pop Wing Holds Its Countv Th Convention. The Populist wing of the Re publican-Populist alliance of this county held its nominating con vention this citv Saturdav at, which all the Populists in the county were present, and the crow d was by no means as large as mat which attended the Dem ocratic primary of Goldsboro township Friday night. ihe convention was presided over by Mr. Marion Butler and proceeded to nominate a 'half- sneu ticket the other half shell to be supplied by the Re publican wing of the unholy alli ance at its convention next Wed nesday the names on which had previously been determined upon oy tnemachine, and all the con vention had to do was acruiescv; and the same convention of the Pop wing will convene again next Thursday to acquiesce in the nominations to nil up the other half -shell of the ticket which the Republican wing will make at its convention on Wednesday. 1 he nominations made yester day are W. G. Hollowell for clerk of Superior Court; Dr. J. hi. Person tor the Legislature; Jas. H. Johnson for Treasurer: Dr. J. H. Powell for Coroner, and Ex-Gov. C. H. Brogden for township tax collector. "Church- disturber" Maxwell, of Duplin county.and one Paddison.of Pen der.County, both Populists, were endorsed for the State Senate, and the Republican nominees for the senatorial district were repu diated, which may lead to "con fusion" in the campaign. The fattest offices in the county, that of Register of Deeds and Sheriff, together with one mem ber for the Legislature, have been scooped by the Republican wing of the alliance, which fact recalls the confab between Re publican Jno. II. Smith and Pcp ulist J. E. Person some weeks ago, m which Person remarked: what we want is reform." whereupon "Jno. R" said: "well, Foxy, you give us the offices and we will give you the Re form" the Rads have scooped the fat offices, and on next Wed nesday the Republicans will pro ceed to fill out their half-shell of the fusion . ticket as follows?
