THE FRANKLIN TIMES. . A. THOMAS, Edilorand Proprietor. one Year, - $1.50 1.00 Friday. September 22, - - issg TttE nvys suid weans tvommitte'e caii $ud out more afeut Uae tariff by reading ihe democratic plat form than it can by "hearing" all jttoe eastern maflfa,cturers. South Carolina's 'iref a wnr" Sena tor J. L. M. Irby had charges pre ferred against him at Columbia, S. C, en the 19th for being drunk ad disorderly, ,and carrying con cealed weapons. The Atlanta Constitution says cer that the use Df clearing house tificates and .certified checks ae currency in the south has shown that there is large room here for tate banks of issue. Senator Cdlloh says there is no se of people complaining of hard limes when they have a per c-api- ia oi xue xrouuie oi it is people can't realize on their per .capita, Senator. It wont buy bread. Some of the New York editors are predicting a renewal of the finan cial stringency if the senate doesn't act pretty soon, but they are not predicting much relief as the result of repeal. All they want is the single gold standard, and when that is secured the busi ness men and producers may go to hades in search of relief. As an exchange says: It is easy enough to find fault with Congress for not reaching an im mediate agreement on the finan cial question, but if you take the trouble to attempt to harmonize the financial views of a dozen men of your acquaintance you will get an idea of the work that is being done by Democrats in Congress. Some Republicans are cryiug out, 4 -Let the tariff alone." This is no more shan we could expect from such quarters. Republicans are always willing to give Demo crats advice, but Democrats would be very foolish to follow it. The defeat of Hon. Benjamin Harri son, the high protection candidate for the Presidency last fall, is the strongest kiud of evidence that a large majority of the people of this country don't want the tariff let alone. The Democratic party was placed in power on a tariff reform platform and the people expect it to be carried out. The Cherokee Strip, the last of the public possessions, comprising between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 acres of land, was opened to set tlers last Saturday at noon. For many days prospective settlers from all parts of the country flock ed to the borders of the Strip, and there was a mad rush for farms and town lots when the signal to march was giveu. It is estimated that fully 150,000 people entered the race. Already towns of 5,000 inhabitants and upwardshavebeen established where not a soul lived Saturday morning. Several per gons were killed and a number more or less seriously injured in the scramble for homes. Men, women and children were mixed up in the race. The Statesville Landmark says: The Marion bar did a funny tniug week before last. At the adjournment of the Superior Court it got together and adopted reso lutions thanking Judge Boykjn for the ability, etc , with which he had presided. At the conclu sion of a term' "of "Wake Superior Court some months ago one of the lawyers got up and in behalf of the bar thanked Judge Brown for the ability, etc., with which he had presided. These performan ces are quite extraordinary. Are not judges paid to perform certain duties, and if so are they entitled to any thanks for performing them? But such proceedings as these in Wake and McDowell look as if it were a little out of the ordinary for judges to preside Tfith ability, etc. Is that so? If it is then impeachment proceed ings or resolutions of censure are In order. Such actions as those upoken of are all wrong unless it be true, as suggested, that it has come to be an uncommon thing for a judge to do his sworn duty, and we trust that it hats not reach ed that pass jet. - NO OCCASION FOR ALARM YET. As the Statesville Landmark: says, there is nx need for the' friends of bi-metallism to feel any: di8courag.ejaeni on acconni of the passage by the House of the bill to repeal the Sherman .act, or on account of the prospect of its pass ing the Senate. Th-e great majorr ity of the Democrats in the House who voted for the repeal bill are sincere bi-metallistej so it is with a majority of the Democrats who will vote for it in the Senate. An effort is being" made to produce the impression that the repeal of the Sherman act or rather of the portions of it which provide for purchases of silver bullion will be the end of silver. Not at all. The Wilson bill, which has passed the House, pledges the faith of the government to maintain all the silver now in circulation on a par- ity with gold, so that if this bill becomes a law and no other silver legislation is effected, the country at least has the aesurance that it will continue to have all the silver it has now and that it will be as good; whereas the Yoohees bill, which is pending in the Senate, contains a distinct pledge of the maintenance of the system of bi metallism, this pledge being in part the exact language of the national Democratic platform. Many of the best Democrats and best bi-metallists regard the Sher man act, instead of a help, as a positive obstruction to true bi-metallism. As to its repeal resulting in the striking down of silver, it will have no such effect. As to what legislation favorable to sil ver will follow repeal wo cannot unders take to prophesy, but it is not fair to prejudge, ,a President and a party, committed by their platform and their individual ut terances to its maintenance as a circulating medium on as large a scale as is deemed safe. If some of our Democrats, who have a very poor opinion of Feter on account of his lack of faith, had been in his place when he started to walk on the water and got scared, they would have gone down so quick that even the discerning eye of the Master could not have told where they sunk. As the Sun says this country has not one-half the per capita wealth that France has, and yet the plutocrats of the east, who have grown sleek, fat and sassy on the bouuties of government. are howling about too much mon ey in this country. The trouble is that they, have gotmost all of it, more-than they know what to do with. Let the income tax screws be put to them and applied liber all', and it will not be many years until they sing another tune. We do not believe there are any number of thoughtful Democrats who hold President Cleveland re sponsible for the recent financial stringency, or the present emer gency. Remember the party has been in power but a few months, and has not had time to bring a bout a radical change. Wait, and see if all will not be well in the near future. We predict there will be praises and congratula tions for the party and the Presi dent instead of impatience and misgivings. Be patient. The Scotland Neck Democrat says that in the twelve months en ding on the day of its publication, week before last, there had been shipped from that town 25,000 bushels cotton seed, .75,000 bushels of peanuts, and 2,000 bales of cot ton, and that for the past three years the shipments of meat, meal and hay to that point have stead ily decreased, until now they have gone down to nothing. This is a splendid showing, and is a good demonstration of the fact that North Carolina farmers have turned their backs on the old ruii.g ous methods of having their graiu eries and smokehouses in the North and West. A few such years as this record shows will make Scotland Neck and all the towns which follow its example, as also the country surrounding them happy, contented and pros perous, for with such an amount of money coming in annually, and without any thing""going out for the necessaries of life, it could not be otherwise. It will be a happy day for the State when all of its farmers live entirely at home. Brunswick's Sad Plight, Atlanta ConstitatieD. It is now evident to all that the p&ople x Brunswick need help, and need it right away. The city .is utterly helpless Wrected by financial misfor tunes, scourged by the fever, with trade and industry paraly zed, the inhabitants who are forced by poverty or duty, or led by considerations of humanity to remain, must have outside help or they will soon face starvation. They aie unable to help them selves and their sufferings ap peal to every kind heart. The appeals for relief that meet the eyes of our readers every day should have a prompt and a sym pathetic response. Atlanta is in many respects an exceptionally lovorea city, one nas never known an epidemic, and she has scarcely felt the recent financial depression. She has hundreds of wealthy and thousands of well to do people. We do not believe that it is necessary to urge the matter a hint should be suffi cient. wnen people are hemmed in by a quarantine, like the citizens of Brunswick unable to' leave, and not wanted in the neighbor ind towns their condition is de plorable in the extreme. They need medicine, ice, all sorts of and some monev food, clothing, supplies, nurses . Imagine these thousands of terrorstricken suf ferers, forced to be idle, with the plague creepiug through their streets, from house to house, seiz ing five or ten new victims ever)7 day! Comtemplate this picture con centrate your attention upon it take in all of itsliorrors, and then act, and act quickly. We must do something for the living and the dead at Brunswick. Stay in North Carolina. Many of the farmers in North Carolina labor under the impres sion that they have a pretty rough time and that North Car olina is a good State to emigrate from. A good many have accordingly emigrated and there are very few States west or southwest where North Carolinaians and their descendants are not found, while in some they form a very considerable portion of the popu lation. In some respects North Caroli na may not be the equal of 6ome of those Western and Southwest ern States, but take it all in all she is the equal of any of them and superior of many. They may have larger cities, numerous railways, fertile and cheap lands, and wide ranges for pasturages of cattle and sheep, but they have blizzards, cyclones, floods, droughts and various other visitations that we know little of in North Carolina, where if they come at all it is ouly at rare in tervals and in mild form com pared with the Western and Southwestern article. On the average our lands may not be as rich but the same indus try and push that is necessary to success iu any of those States would make the North Carolina farmer comfortable or rich, in less time than he, with the same means, could become so out there. These are rock bottom truths. Washington Star. n News Items. Yellow Fever in Brunswick, Ga., has become epidemic, up to Wednesday about 20 cases were reported, and several deaths have occured. The banks are resuming busi ness all over the conntry. The first National of Winston this state, re-opend one day this week.

CONGRESS. The Senate is still discussing the Repeal and although Senator Voorhees, who is in charge of the bill, has repeatedly asked for a day to be named when a vote shall be had, the opponents of the bill refuse to gratify bim. beveral able speacb es have been made since last week, among the speakers were Senator Voorhees, Dauiels, Mills, and others. The House had a lively tilt on Wednesday, when the bill to re peal the preseut iniquitous feder al election law was placed on the calendar. Who the Gold Bmjs Are lu Catawba. Newton Enterprise. The very first man we have heard of in this county to refuse to take silver and demand a gold note for money he was negotiat ing to loan to a neighbor, was one of the most extreme Third party men and professed friends of free coinage. We have gold bugs right in our midst and they are not Cleveland Democrats either. NOTICE To Delinquent Tax - Payers !
