At Jones' Springs, Warren county, on Wednesday, there was a notable gathering. The good people of War ren, Vance and Franklin gave a Dem ocratic picnic, and it looked like the people of all the counties were there. And, well they might have come, for they had a rich treat not merely of what was in their baskets, but intel lectually. Gen. Ransom, the senior Senator, was there' among his people who love him so well, and certainly he was the centre of attraction. He was in good condition, in fine spirits and enthusiastic over the political sit uation. Cleveland a last message had E'veh the campaign in the Union at rge a tidal wave that would carry everything before it. mii YnAMHBtete introduced Capt- Charles M- Cooke, who has again buckled on his armor, and promires to lead our friends in Franklin to vic.ory, as he always has done when a candidate. Capt. Cooke spoke chiefly on the tariff, and as he warmed with , the subieot, lound that the audience warmed up also, for never before hare the people dis played so much interest in that sub ject.; Hia explanations were clear, his illustrations forcible, and with skill he made plain how that tax played a part in the farm life of our people and taxed the people who core the heavy burden without seeing where the pressure that depressed their business came from. He spoke an hour, making one of his best campaign speeches. Capt xom Mason, the eloquent son of .Northampton, iouowea, and in thrilling tones and fervid sentences spoke of the degradation and dangers of Radical misrule in North Caro lina,' and the importance of .our public affairs ; being admiuistered by the virtuous . and intelligent portion of our people. Capt. Mason, famed as he is as an orator, never appeared to better anvantage. OOl. W. H. o. iJurgwyn, of Hender son, was next introduced, and dwelt most largely upon the necessity of Democratic supremacy in respect to the material prosperity of the people both here at home and in the Union at large. His remarks were received with every demonstration of approval and satisfaction. indeed, tbe people showed more interest in the speaking from first tq last than is usual even on such oc caaions. After dinner Gen. Ransom delivered the speech ef the day. He made a great speech. Every sentence was effective and went right to tbe hearts of the immense concourse Of people who were present. He spoke of the importance of every white man in the State voting the Democratic ticket indeed, of every man in the south, aud of tbe benefits and advantage to as of a Democratic administration not 1 only here at home, but also at Washington. He contrasted in glar ine language the conduct of the Re publican Federal administration to wards our people with the; relations which a Democratic administration bears to us. It was now indeed and In fact our own government. He spoke of the tariff and of State matters as Well as Federal concerns. It was a masterly address, worthy of the distinguished orator who there at his old home well illustrated how iustlv old Warren can be proud of her gifted sons. ! Hon. W. H.

A strange fatality seems to follow ex-communists. The other day Gen. Eudes, while standing on his hind -legs making fiery speeches on the commune, oied by the bursting of a blood vessel. Again, the day before yesterday, Citoven Cenac, another lieutenant jf the commune, was s ending on his hind legs making communist speeches to a socialist crowd at No. 19 Cite Lacharriere, Paris, when he suddenly turned pale, and to the great consternation of the audience, just as he nttered the words, "i n'y a pas dt Iieu," down he fell dead as a hammer.

In July, 1870, at Fayetteville, ing the discussion there between Dockery and CoL WaddeU, the posing candidates for Congress i Cape Fear district, while Waddell was speaking Col.

Turn- . 1 1 -l -1 1 T 1 , ing men to uoiouei xocaery, ana ap proaching him until he could almost touch him, ne repeated the statement word for word, and then as it were, shaking his finger in Dockery's very face, jjhe said: "And now, Colonel Dockery, what are you going to do about ltT To the surprise or eveiy one Colonel Dockery'j reply was, still keeping his seat, "Oh! pshaw, Wad dell, I don't want to have any person al difficulty with jou." And then such a shout of laughter and derision went up as made the very welkin ring. And no "monosyllable" was uttered and no blood was spilled. During the same campaign, at the place for speaking near Lilesville, in the county of Anson, Colonel Docke ry stated that owing, to violent sick ness the night before he was physi cally unable to take part in the dis cussion and he hoped that under the Circumstances bis opponent would decline to speak. Colonel Waddell, in reply, said he disliked to ; disap point the people, but as there was much in his speech : about Colonel Dockery, and as he could not strike a sick man, he would not speak. The people, much dissatisfied and dis pleased, insisted that Waddell should speak any way, but be absolutely re fused to do so, and left the ground and went to the house of a friend, some three or four miles off, to get his dinner. He had barely gotten there, however, and been made comfortable, when a messenger rode up in post-baste and announced that Dockery had suddenly reoovered and was Bpeaking away for dear life, mak ing all sorts of misrepresentations. Waddell at onoe returned ; to the speaking ground and, they do say, gave the burly Dockery a scoring he would remember to his dying day U his hide wasn't so thick and his mem ory so bad, using more ; "monysylla- bles, polysyllables and all Borts oi syllables, than were ever before heard to fall from the lips of so soft spoken, mild-mannered, slender-built and Christian a gentleman in the same length of time.

Editor: My attention hss been called to an article in the Signal which says that ne groes have been appointed store keepers and gangers 'in the internal revenue service in Wilkes county, and that "these negroes are put over white men who are running distille ries." This is a falsehood for which the Signal is not responsible, but the in formant is. Here are the fae'e: Sometime in the year 1887 W. J. Wadkins, a respect able negro signified hia intention of starting a bonded distillery, filed his bond, Ac. Our deputy collector, after consultation witn some of the best men of our county, decided to recommend tbe appointment of C. J. Smith, colored, as storekeeper and ganger. Smith was appointed and assigned to duty at the distillery of W. J. Wadkinp, colored, where he has been on duty ever since his appointment No other colored man has been appointed storekeeper and ganger in Wilkes county under Dem ocratic rule, and none other will be unless some other negro desires to start a government distillery, and then if another negro can be found in the county competent he will doubtless be appointed for that posi tion. C. J. Smith is a respectable colored citizen of Wilkes county so reepectaoie tnat under tbe Kepubli can admmistrat-on he was a store keeper and ganger and was never on duty except at a distillery run by a tonus num.

The meeting was under the auspices of the Hendricks Club, and was very generally attended by citi zens of both parties. senator McDonald began by Quot ing from President Cleveland s tariff reform message to Congress, touched upon the surplus in the Federal Treasury and quoted from the Fed eral Constitution to show that the. only power of the Government to levy tax was 'for itB legitimate ex penses incurred for the the general good. He then took op and consider ed the Mills bill at length. He argued that it was in no sense a free trade measure, inasmuch as the average duty under it is estimated at forty per cent ad valorem. .The speaker declared that reduc tions ought to continue until an pluJiTcVns came into power was reach eel about nineteen per eent He then proceeded to give hia objections to the protective tariff system as class legislation, saying : , "It placed labor in the absolute control of capital; it fostered trusts by shutting out for eign competition, and it excludes us from foreign markets. He controverted Gen. Harrison's statement that the nation could in crease its foreign trade with Central and South America by mail subsidies, and said : "The simple reason why our trade is no greater with Central and South America than it now is arises from the fact that but few of their articles of merchandise can pay our tariff and come into our markets, and we have nothing to offer them for sale that they cannot bay cheaper from other nations who receive their trade on more equal and favorable terms." In closing his speech he ex tolled all the acts of the Administra tion and praised Mr. Cleveland's statesmanship.
