It an error gets into a newspaper, ex
changes that reproduoe th article el

lowing, tlken from one of Grady's ar

North; "Prof. McOee hols that k sea
ward slip of this coastal plain has taken
place, and that the disturbance result
from sadden dislocation of an area 00,
000 miles broad and 3,000 feet thick "
It would be hard to find an area "900,
000 miles broad" in this mundane
sphere. What Grady - meant to say
doubtless wu 900,000 square milba.

Now that is very well for the Misses

Mr. Blaine hes stirred up a. Tartar
his reoent tariff speeches, the answer
evoked from Mr. PUlsburybeing ovef-
wKelming. Not only has the argument
of the defeated Presidentiil candidate
been refuted, but the war has been ear
ned into Afrioa and the positions of tie
Plumed Knight have been skilfully
turned, enfiladed and takenin the rear.
Indeed Mr. Pillsbury has tado a very
clear presentation of the whole tariff
6uljeet, going to the bottom of things
and, with great lucidity, deelopiug the
underlying, fundamental principles in
volved, lie said that the! tariff 8
fact a tax, but our; republican friends
never upcak of it as such. They never
call it taxation; it is always: protection.
There is so much difference, you k::6w,
iu the expression. Protection! Vbt
hftDDV thouehts cluster around that
term! But taxation is burdensomd
Now it is tixation-nothinf; else. He
then defended the democrat party froni
the aspersion that it proposes to ruib
the country by lightening thia taxation.
The charge is made i that the democrat
want to desijov the industries of the
oountry, paralyse the manufacturing in
(crests and lay waste h prop
erty. This is apswered lYankee
like, by asking the question where
and when did Mr. Blaind and his
followers got their exclusive! interest in
the prosperity of the country ? Are
not the millions of democrats; equally
attached to their oountry ? Do they not
equally suffar when the caudtry suffer
and prosper when the country prospers
Referring to the assertion that thej
democratic party is for free1 trade, he
adverts to the historical fact that dur4
ing the whole period that tbe demooracy:
were in power it never give the country
free trade for a single hour, Lud it has
never declared itself for free' trade. But'
they do ask that the burden jpf taxation
be lightened. ' f I
Mr. Pillsburv states the 'difference
between the parties as follows : ! "W
believe that taxation is a harden, and
that it should be limited to the neces
sities of the government, economically
and honestly administered. ? lhey be
lieve that taxation is a blessing; that the
way to make the people prosperous is to
tax them, and the more you tax them,
the better they prosper. . According to
Mr. Blaine, the way to ' enable your
people to put money in : the savings
banks is to tax them." '
In 1830 the duties were nearly 49
percent and in 1861 they had .gone
down to 17 per cent: "Therefore, yon
see, we naa unaer aemocratio ruie, witn
this graduated tax reduotiop, money
enough to carry on the government. We
did not want any more, and we were
willing, and whether willing or not,
manufacturers would nave the inciden
tal protection that the taxation afforded
Bat Mr. Blaine call' that a free trade
generation, and this a proteption era,
and then attributes all the irrowth of
the country and it prosperity ! to the
protection which h s been given you by
the republican party." ; s
The present tariff raises JlQO.OOO.OOO
more than there is any need for. j This
the democrats say leave in the pockets
of the people. Sir. Blaine says use it
to pay looal taxes, to pay State, county
and city taxes. Mr. Pillsbury then
demonstrates that" federal axes arc
personal and paid by the oonsoiners gen
erally, poor as .well ' as rich:. It is t
kind of personal tax, and the; only tax
property pay is for local purposes. Mr.
Blaine proposes to maintain toe personal
tax and exempt property. We cannot
follow the course of this excellent ad
dress,7 or even . recapitulate its admira
ble points, but we must makf a quota
tion to show how the subject (of manu
facturing interests is handled.; He said:
"Mr Blaine enlarged upon ihe great
advantage to the farmers surrounding
you and your merchants in consequence
oi Dunaing up uu manuioiiring city
Well, now, in the first place, my friends
when was this manufaoturins; oity of
Lewiston planted? When: were these
corporations established, and these mills
built, and this great industry put in
operation? Why, it was daring the
period that Mr. Blaine characterises as
the generatioa of free trade t It is
fact that the corporation in this city
were then established. The Bates
mill was incorporated in 1852, the
Androscoggin in 1860, the! Hill in
1850, the Lincoln in 1854 and the Lew
iston in 1850 All of these corpora
tion were established, (be mills built
and manufacturing operations carried on
successfully and profitably lo$g before
this republican party came info power.
(Applauie). understand, while some
additions have been made, that in! the
main the cotton manufactories 'of Lewis
ton are substantially today as they were
when they built them.; j understand
further that, notwithstanding ou havo
had twenty five years of republican rule
and this wonderful protection; with, its
mag io power, the Lincoln mill mas been
shut do wn two or three years (applause),
the Lewiston mill has failed (laughter
and applause), the Continental runs on
half time, and the Bates mill has cut do wn
wages again and again pjgVection in
full blast. (Loud and prolonged laueh
ter and applause) The Barker mil) in
Auburn out its stock down at Sone time
from 100 to 10 per oent, and that was
during the wonderful reign or republi
can protection '- :
"Wit has done it, Dr. Garoecln?
Have you been doing anything to them?
(Laughter). What power ha laid its
nands on these mil's to shut them down
against this giant power of protection ?
Democratic talk in Congress. (Load
iaughter and applause ) I !
As I haye spoken aooat the, founda
tion of these Lewiston industries I will
speak of some others . The Augusta
water power was utilized before1 the re
publican party came into power. Uae
cotton factory was buitV befoye tbey
came in and one since. ' In Biddeford
the Pepperell mills were establtbed in
1850 and the Lvtonia in 1845,- together
marking 165,000 spindles Th oity of
Lawrence now has eight corporations,
ix of which were established under
dOOflrjitio rib and (wo wiw f0PBli-Jt
can. iney nave tne Auanuo mius,
started in 1846, the Lawrence duck
company, in 1853; the Pacific, 1858;
Washington mills, 1858; Everett, 1SOV,
and Pemberton, 1868; since then the
Lawrence woollen and the Arlington.
The capital put in under democratic
rule as g7.200.000, and under repub-
1k in $AW,0O). Number of looms be
fore the republicaus came in, 8,!i04;
since, oiU. ro jou see that this great
manufacturing city of Lawrence was
founded successfully and. was running a
oarecr of prosperity long before Mr.
Blaine's party took control of this
country. It is the same in Lowell, in
uiddeford, in Nashua and Dover, and
Manchester, N. H. I could give you
the details here,, but it is unnecessary
In Manchester every one of them was in
corporated under Mr. Blaine's era of
"tree trade."
Th two government scientists at
Charleston, Prof. McGee, of the geo
logical Burvey, and Prof. MendenhaU,
of the signal service, appear to differ
about the cause of the earthquake, but
their views as far as expressed do not
seem to be inconsistent. If there is a
slant of the rocks on which the surface
of the ooaatal plain rest there is ne
cessarily a tendency of the plain to slip
off; but being at rest something must
start it. The starting force is supplied
by the theory of Prof. Mendenhall,
who attributes it to the contraction of
the mass of the earth by loss of inter
nal heat. The continued shooks at
Sumuierville, which appear not to have
e-'used up to this time, are not accounted
for to the entire satisfaction of r U'aer of
these gentlemen. Perhaps D' tLiug drfi
nite can be ascertained until the prob
lem is worked out as to the depth of the
focus of the disturbance. If the sup
ping of the earth's surface alone be the
trouble, since the bottom rocks are but
3,000 feet beneath the surface, the dis
turbance cannot be below that; the
widespread shocks, extending far up
into Canada and the north coast seem to
negative such a shallow location of tho
disturbing foroe. A contraction thirty
or forty miles within the bowels of h
earth might have occasioned the wide
spread shock, extending beyond the
great lakes and from Maine to Texas,
and might in addition have; caused local
disturbances beneath the "coastal plain"
in South Carolina, giving it a start and
the seaward movement which i rof. Mo-
Gee supposes. ,

Saturday, September 4th, the dele
gates from the various townships assem
bled in the court house to nominate
senator, a representative and candidates
for the county offices
. The meeting was a full one, and with
Mr. J. A. Pierce, of Pelham, in the
chair, the business was transacted with
all dispatch possible. There was no
dearth of candidates. Messrs. Warren
M. Watkins, of Milton; Jack Allen, of
.Hightowers, and Jalius Johnston, of
Yanoeyville, were prominent before the
convention. , After Beveral ballot Mr.
-Allen was declared the nominee. Mr.
f Allen is a successful farmer, has long
3been a servant of the county, and will
make a safe member of the legislature,
v Mr. Julius Johnston, a rising young
-fowyer and loyal democrat of our town,
'Was nominated to represent us in the
lower house. He will do it will.
The vote for sheriff showed that the
present incumbent, B S. Graves, holds
the office by a modicum of popularity
over his efficient deputy at this place,
Mr. Geo. O. Wilson.
: The present superior court olerk
bold his office by virtue of his connec
tion with the republican party. But
notwithstanding that fact, suoh is his
popularity in the county that on the
first ballot the highest number of votes
overtopped his only by one : and a frac
tion. Mr. J. D. Neal was made the
nominee of the convention. Mr. Spencer
B. Adams, the present olerk, will be
re elected. Felix Roan was nominated
for register of deeds
&The meeting was in the main harmo
nious, but toward the end there was
evidence of the disorganization of the
oeunty politics many democrats voting
fur republicans. Much dissatisfaction
isr; fait on this account, but it is hoped
that the vote for Hn. and Allen and
Johnston will not be affected by it.
'.Sunday; the 5th, at 8 3J p. m., Mr.
Yancey Jones died at his residence in
this place. Mr. Jones was; believed to
bi yet in his prime. He had juBt re
turned from Catawba springs. By a
very short illness we have lost a valued
oiiiz ;n, and the oeunty a highly es

AN0TH1R iSTlRXSTlUa UTTXB FROM A
London, August 20, 1886.
After iny previous letter from Glas
gow, 8odtlnd, we spent a few very de
lightful day at Ardrossan, tne iavorue
Scotish seaside watering-place. The
little city is in the form ofa dou'il
oresoent, one faoing the west and the
other the south. Each has a beach in
front and the southern one is. the finest
beach that I've ever seen. It is about
two mileBjong.graoefully curbed, with a
very gradual descent, thus affording
superb surf-bathing, which is enj yed
by hundreds every day. Some of the
children; stay in tLe water n arly ail
day and 'the surf seemed to beckon us
to also come in, but when we consid
ered that we had just come from a tem
perature "99 in the Bhade,"Jwhile the
mercury here was standing at only 60,
and also remembered that ; we were
wearing extra heavy flannel from head
to foot, winter clothes and a good over
coat, thd inclination to enjoy (?) the en
ticing surf just fien left us and for
got to return. The pleasures of our
visit to ihat delightful little' city were
greatly increased by reason of some ex
ceedingly pleasant acquaintances which
we happily made, and our memories
will ever cherish most joyous impres
sions of our very kind friends, Mrs.
Robert Wallace, Mrs. Bailey f and their
lovely daughters. Misses Hessie and
Alice, likewise their friend Miss Agnes
Henderson, of Dover, JliUgland, and
also Mr and Mrs Fulton, at Ireland.
Mrs. Wallace is the widow of the
eminent, skilful anl popular surgeon and
physioian, Dr. Robert Wallace, and
Mrs. Bailey is the wife of the president
of the Royal back of Scotland. We
are also : under special obligations for
kind hospitalities and attentions ex
tended to us by oar friends Mr. Gem
mel, the affable pharmacist, and Mr
Arthur Guthrie, the bookseller and edi
tor of the Ayrshire Herald. Mr. Gem
mel gave as a copy of the first American
paper which we saw after leaving home,
and our appreciation was all the greater
from the faot that it : was the
North Carolina Presbyterian, and we
can safely Bay to friend McLiurin that no
issue of his excellent paper ever had
two more eager and careful readers
Mr. Guthrie is also a publisher of some
very tasty books, and we have to thank
him for pretty copies of his s "U istor
of Ardrossan and Saltcoats" and
"Barns' Birthday Book"; aid in the
language ' Of our American sage, Rip
Van Winkle, we say to him, '-'May you
live long and prosper." The chief his
torical interest at Ar dross an ia the "Oid
Castle on ihe Hill", bail! about 1150
A. D., underneath which is a dungeon
or prihon, from which there was one 3 an
underground passage to another castle,
about three miles distant.
TH HIX LANDS OF SCOTLAND
After le. ving with much reluctance
the pretty little city on the coast
made the celebrated "tour of the Tros-
sachs " The route lay first by rail to
Bal9aoh,thenoeby steamer to Inersuid,
at the head of Loch Lomond, then by
coach to Stronaohlocher and a steamer
acroE Loch Katrine, the. romantic scene
of Soott'B "Lady of the Lske;" coach
again to the Trossach s hotel by Loci,
Athrav. continuing bv coach to Cal-
lander and then by rail to Edinooro. To
attempt any description of the scene
along this route will be uselessifor there
are many ably written guide-books to
the trip, illustrated with splendid col
ored views, but none of them have been
able to tell even half of the exceeding
loveliness i of this scenery which is s
like some fairy land in :: fiction
Loaded with heather, the national flower
of Sootland, rocks, ferns, sticks and other
trophies of the Trossachs, which we ool
lect even to "within a mile of Edinboro
town," we reaoh this splendidicity just
at dusk and take an excellent: balcony
room at the Windsor hotel, right under
thft wing; of the royal castle, which
stands high above our heads on the hill
After a gopd night' rest, which we are
in great need of, we begin our sight
seeing tramp through the city, begin
niog of ooui sc at the castle, then to the
Queen's palace at Holyrood,; Colton
hill and to the top of the great Nelson
monument! Arthur' seat, the Heart of
Midlothian, the old Tolbooth; Scott's
monument nl the observatory.: As we
stand within the anoient wall of
the castle, hearing the : guides
extol ttfe virtues and memory
of the M beautiful Uueen i Mary
ending with an account of her eighteen
years imprisonment and tragic death,
our hearts sympathize with the Scotch
in their ' tender affeotion for the lovely
woman, and we forget all the mistakes
of her eventful life and cherish only her
noble traits of character. Andthissen
timent increase as we stand in her own
little room, where Jn 1566 she gave
birth to James IV of Scotland, which
event gaye such offence to the haughty
and childless Q ieen, El xabeth of Eng
land, The sad reflections concerning
tne career pi tne hapwsn Mary deepen
a we approaoh the "er wn;room
where are seen the sv.j.erh crown and
jewels of Scotland which 'no adorned
the fait QieenMary; and raid r still
become theee memories when we enter
Holyrood : palaco and wander through
the . private bed room of U'icen Mary.
where the bed, furniture, mirror, tapes
try, work box and pictures remain just
a iney were left by her three hundred
years ago ! : Lying on the bed,' which is
hung with its torn and greatly faded
tapestry, is all that remains of the
Queen's blanket a ragged little scrap
about a foot large. We go into "Mary's
suppiag room," where her unfortunate
secretary Riocio was murdered ' in her
riresenoe; we place our hands in the
argd blood spot on the floor and breathe
a sigi for,the poor woman.
Af'-cr seeing everything of interest in
the okj, we mke for the great exposi
tion, where we spend a day with very
great interest and pleasure. Thi most
attractive fecture of the exhibit, beyond
the magnificent display in the main
buildings, is the representation of "Old
EdnboroV'; About three acre are
gifen to thia purpose, and large two
and three-story buildings hate been
civeted of wood and nlaster. to preoiselv
represent the streets of the city centuries
ago. Ia the rooms are a great number
cfshopj for the aala of fanov arijeW
Vnd all the sale art made by lovely I
ouo Sootob, brief is gay eottamof
of the 15th century. While 'these
pretty little maidens looked so sweet
and chatted so merrily with the two
tramps, how oould we refrain from buy
ing our pockets full of little memen
toes of our visit r We may have the
experience of some visitors to N.Tth
Carolina in the days that are gone
(vnmg with a carpet-bag and going
b..o with a load of well filled trunks.
From the exhibition we go to the old
home of that grand reformer, John
Knox, one of the greatest men in the
world's history in any age. With
strange emotions we Bit in his chair at
his table and stand in the projecting
window which he used as a pulpit in de
claring his doctrine to the great mass
of people below him, and as we turn
from the scene and imaginings we feel
in our hearts that God has most s g-
nally and wonderfully blessed the work
and memory of John Knox.
(Jar pleasant sojourn in Sootland is
ended and with most delightful impres
sions of. the oountry and its noble and
hospitable people and intense desire to
prolong our stay we prepare for depart
ure. With several valises, arms full of
various sized bundles, pockets all full of
papers, one tramp carrying in his hand
a copy of "Kob Koy and the other
tramp clingiLg to the "Heart of Mid
lothian, we turn our faces towards the
fast train for London.

A meeting of citizens of Asbeville
was held in the court house yesterday
morning, to express sympathy for the
suffering peoplo of the stricken city.
Mayor Aston presided. A committee to
solicit contributions was appointed;' also
a oommittee to draft suitable resolutions.
As a result of the meetitg the mayor
in the afternoon Bent by express to the
mayor of Charleston the sum of 81r3UU
This donation will be followed by an
other in a few days, as the soliciting
oommittee are still at work. The people
scarcely needed solicitation. The ex
pression of sympathy in this praotical
shape has been spontaneous. The pop
ulation of Asbeville is libei al and gen
erous as well as progressive and indus
trioua.
An effort is being made to have the
next general assembly of the Knights of
Labor meet here, in October, 1887. .The
body consists of 2,500 representatives
They meet in Richmond, Va., next

About midnight last night ah earth
