' '11 -. M Carolina Watchman, THUBSDAY, APRIL 22, 1886. Democratic Bevenue Officers Successful US. Officer T. H: Vanderford, ex plained to the reporter One reason why Democratic Jterenue officers are so sut- eessful in the capture of illicit distil ... mm . - t m , -vv 'lariea add contraband spirits, He says that the Republicans in the mountains make it their business to tell the offi cers all they know; they tell on Repub licans and Democrat alike. Iheir ob ject is to make it appear that the oppression is worse under Democratic rule. They tell on their neighbors and than go and, sympathise with them and blame the Democrats: "I told you so; these Democrats promised to wipe out the law, but they have not doneao and it is a great deal worse now than when the Republicans were in power," They not only tell on their neighbors, but they send to Mr. Dowd's office complete maps of the roads leading to, and of the country surrounding illicit distilleries, and the most minute instructions ac company these drawings. These maps are coining in every day, said Mr. Vafi- derfortU Why sir, I have just returned from Wilkes county. Collector Dowd sent me one of these maps of a large distillery hidden in a secluded corner ot the Brushy mountains in that county. I mounted my horse in Salisbury and rode' right straigh to the distillery, fol lowing the directions on the map. It was as easy found as a country church ; but without this knowledge a gang ,of five raiders would not have found it in a month's search. The people of that part of North Carolina are down on Democratic revenue officers, and no wonder. They are bound to destroy these distilleries when found or pointed out to theau. They would find but few without the help above described. Mr. Vanderford has destroyed five large distilleries and captured 200 gallons of brandy so far this month, all of which was reported to the Collector's offi S&4 directions sent for capturing it. The law is all wrong; it is a burden, an oppression, and must bo abolished. Let the Democrats now in Congress do their duty; let them fulfill their promise to the people. The revenue law should go- Strikes are as common just now as shooting stars in the month of Novem ber. Working people in almost all de partments are either on a strike or threatening to do it. Business affairs are in a very unsettled state, especially in the Northern, Western and South western parts of the country. Coal miners, coke men, railroad employees, city .ear drivers, glass blowers, hatters, c.vrar makers, etc.. etc.. etc., are con- o ' ' testing either for fewer hours of work or larger ay. These disturbances con cern us all, more or less. If they shall result in higher wages to the strikers the inference is higher price for the nroduets of their labor: and the con- tr . . sumers of those products will have to pay the concession, whatever it may be. It is therefore a good time for people to provide for themselves with out being too largely dependent on others. It is always a good time for people to take care of themselves with out the help of others when it is possi ble to do so; but it is especially so when the cost of help consumes all that is made. It is a common observation that it is harder for a man to save his earnings Lnow-a-days than it was thirty or forty years ago; and the reapon for it is, that the fashion of living has changed; so that by the time a man has enjoyed all the new advantages of life he is either even with the world or in debt to it. A good deal of self-denialis indispensible in saving anything amidst the tempta tions which beset the present pathway oi human life. The "strikers," as a general thing, are better paid than working people were yeas ago; but for the reasons assigned above find it hard er to live. Making Sugar from Sorgo and Afri- can Cane. The Blyraer Iron Works Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, have issued a hand book treatise on Chinese and African sugar canes, the- treatment of -cane juice, and the apparatus for making syrup and sugar. It is a carefully pre pared work, and would no doubt be of important service to persons engaged in the cane business on large or srnall scale.

A Washington statement shows that less than one-seventh of the Govern ment employees comefinder the open- tion of the Civil ServicVlaw. And yet that is quite sufficient to embarrass th4 chief executive officer of the country who is made responsible for the faith ful execution of the laws, but not al lowed to choose his own agents and assistants in the performance of his high trust If the County Commissioners of Row an were to appoint a committee of three citizens to pass on the merits and qualifications of deputy sheriffs, and designate who should serve in that capacitv, thus taking from the Sheriff the right to choose his own deputies,! it would Be a case precisely similar to that of the Civil Service Commission making appointments for the Presi dent. Lawyers do not hesitate to de nounce it as unconstitutional, and the common people of the county can easi ly see that it is a violation of fairness and common sense justice. President Cleveland ought to disregard the un constitutional law and make his own appointments in the old fashioned way ; but ne seems to tnins ne should res pect the law, and hence we have, to a large extent, the amimolous condition of . a Democratic President trying to carry out Democratic principles in government through Republican agents Members of the third party move ment held; a meeting in Concord ,yast week. It Was a slim affair, only about six men taking part. They appointed an executive committee, says the Times, consisting f 12 members, onlv one of whom was present. Cabarrus has had some of the most earnest men in the temperance cause to be found in any part of the State. The memory of John Phifer, and his zeal ous and intelligent labors in its behalf, is still cherished by some of her citi zens. But will they be third party men? It is not probable. Ins axe and his family. To-day he has 70 acres of fine land, cleared and fenced, and which produced large crops of wheat , oats, rye, buckwheat, timothy and clover, potatoes, etc. He has a large orchard of apples, pears and peaches now bearing, a comfortable house, and barns, a hand some side-bar buggy and a driving horse, a good bunch of stock cattle, of which he aells ii few now and then, for cash; a flock of sheep, and other stock, and is a thor oughly independent man. lnese are very handsome results for; nine- years of labor: They are extraor dinary, and due, no doubt, to extraor dinary advantages in some shape or other. Did Mr. Wilson have any ready money to buy his land ? Did he have sons tr hired laborers to assist him ? Were his lands very rich ? These questions suggest favorable circum stances that might have contributed very materially to his success.

' A negro robber was lynched near Axton on the Danville and New River R. R., Sunday morning last. By lying and forging a letter he induced a farm er to take what money he had and go with him to a neighbors house. On the road the negro stealthily approached his unsuspecting victim from behind and felled him by blows on the head with a club, and then robbed him.. The farmer is not expected to recover, but the robber has gone before him into the great eternity. Marriage of the President It is confidently announced that President Cleveland is to be married in June to Miss Folsom, a lady of about 21 years described as very handsome and smart. "She hasblue eyes, sof brown hair, corned well back from her forehead when on parade or playing a receptions or lawn tennis; ivpry white face, well shaped-nose and mouth and full round chin."

There are a few people in Row an white people, at that who be lieve in witchcraft, and some who profess to be witeh oloctors. They are the most stolidly ignorant people in the county piteously so; J)ut thanks to preachers, public schools and news papers, the number is steadily decreas ing, and the time is hot far distant when all the white people, at least, will rise above it. 1866" 1886 (LIFE FIRE) OF Million Dollars.
