appoint Thursday, the 25th day of

giving to Almighty God for the large

safed to us in the past year, and of devout
prayer that He will continue to us His

About Parties.
Mugwumpism, civil service rules, in
ternal revenue, appointment of negroes
to prominent onn:es, etc., h.is played the
mischief with the Democratic party of
iorth Carolina. 1 wo or three vears
ago we predicted that when the color-
line was abolished by white Democrats,
tlte Democratic party in the South
would lose its hold on the affections of
white voters. It has already come to
pass in iNortn Carolina. e reau in
ourexehanges of many white Democrats
voting the Republican ticket, and of
colored Republicans voting the Demo
cratic ticket. But remember, that there
is a large white majority in North Car
olina, the Democratic party cannot af
ford to swap hite votes for negro votes,
for the reason that not many white
men Will co-operate with negro men in
politicSi If the Democratic party isjto

We hope our people will discuss the
feasibility and the justice to wuck con
victs in each county where they are
convicted on the public roads and in the
swamps and other works, which will
take some of the burdens off the peo
ple. And, if after the matter has been
weighedrit should be thought wiseand
judicious to adopt this plan, instead of
sending to the State prison, thejr let
the Legislature so order? or if it should
require a change in the constitution
let the work be begun at once. But
we think the Legislature can accom
plish this without auy change in the
organic law. We are opposed to the
penitentiary, and would like to see the
buildings, grounds and machinery sold

Secretary McPherson, of the Repub
lican Campaign Committee, says that
if the Republicans have a majority on
a vote by States in the House they will
filibuster to the end of both sessions
before they will allow the Democrats
to change result by a contested election
case. The only places where a change
of one vote would affect anything, he
sayi, are where the votes are too divir
ded to admit of a contest.
Long's Platform.
"Mr. Long hits been elected to the
legislature in Cabarrus over McAlister
the democratic nominee. Long was
yery frank in his campaign. He made
his own platform, which was plain and
to the point. He promised, if elected,
to favor laws givimg legs, arms, ears.
eyes, noses and pensions to disabled
Confederate soldiers. To tave all whis
key sold in the State analysed. To
make teacher? teach ten hours a day,
and to restore virility to superanuated
citizens. To cap the climax, he prom
ised that if elected he would furnish a
special train to all who voted for him
to take them to Raleigh to witness his
inauguration in the legislature. He
said he did not want the voters to think
he was trying to fool them; for lie gave
it as his opinion that neither he nor
McAlister were fit to represent the
countv in the legislature. We venture
to say he will make a good member.

Kr Morrijson's Defeat.
The Democrats must pull themselves to
gether and not only nuike the b ft of
their Congressional leaders but learn wis
dom from it. The people are disgusted
with unfulfilled promises. What with flat
refusals to reform the tariff, with jobbing
River and Harbor bills and demagogic oleo
margarine bills, the people can see no dif
ference between Democracy and Republi
canism. A pushing, vigerou-t. reiorming
Democratic party is what the people want,
and not a mere bucket shop for speculating
on office. Tuesday's elections should teach
bolh the Democratic Administration and
Democratic Congressmen a valuable lesson.

'Wednesday evening, though news of
j the fatal termination of highness did
j not reach this citv until vesterdav
morning. j
Dr. Pharr was aged aUout 73 vears,
and was one of the best known divines
in this section. He was a native of
Mecklenburg county, and in the vear

Union Theological Seminary, at Col- ;

mained in charge of the church there
for about ten years, when he took
charge of the church at Mallard creek,
in this county, and served as its pastor
with great faithfulness and fidelity, up
to the month of May, 1S81, when he
was prostrated by an attack of paraly
sis, and from which he rallied but very
slowly, and was never afterwards fully
able to perform his duties as a pastor.
Since this stroke, he had retired from
active labor, on account of his enfee

He was still weak and sick, when the
second stroke came last Wednesday
and under which, with his shattered
constitution, he rapidly sunk to the
grave.
During his lifetime, Dr. Pharr held
many positions of trust and honor, and
was for many years president of the
board of trustees of Davidson College.
He was also for a long time a director
and trustee of the Union Theological
Seminary of Virginia. He was a good
man in aM the relations of life, and as
such he will be mourned. As a divine
he was learned, and gifted with talents
that were recognized throughout all

An Indignant Young Lady.
Miss Florence Hligh, the pretty and
interesting lady canvasser of the Sun

this city again. It will be remembered
that Miss Biigh was inhibited from
canvassing for her literary paper in
Lynchburg about twelve mouths ago.
without taking out the regular license;
and it will also be recalled that the
Sunny South published a spicy article
on the subject of the outrage, lament
ing the sad lack of patriotism and com
mon sense on the part of this benigh
ted people. The newspapers of this
city" agreed that the law as interpreted
here was an imposition so far as it is
related to neir simpers; and the Council
some time ago struck the word "news
papers'' from the ordinance. Thursday
Miss Bligh again appeared in Lynch
burg and began a canvass for her paper:
but before she had' proceeded far Otiicer
Pendleton felt obliged to warn her to
desist unless she should first take out a
license. The young lady was indig
nant, and visited Judge Latham, asked
that functionary to grant her relief
from the State tax: but the Judge ex
pressed regret that he could not oblige
her. Miss Bligh then, to save further
annoyance, paid the license tax.

A brother publisher said to us the
other day that he recently received a
letter from a magistrate saying that he
thinks he can collect the subscription
bills in his neighborhood, because a
number of the delinquents have joined
the church. We have to confess that
after over thirty years experience, we
are a "doubting Thomas." A religion
that would cause men to pay their
debts would be a valuable factor in the
newspaper business, and would be wel
comed by publishers who are constantly
victimized by all classes of men from
alleged Christians to pronounced infi
dels. Now notwithstanding all the
changes of the centuries as in the

Baltimore Manufacturers' Record.
Gne of the most potent factors in
the present activity m the iron trade
is the very large railroad construction
in progress. A few months ago, when
it was predicted by the Itailtwy Agt
that the newrailway mtfenge of 18S6
wonld not fall short of 0,000 miles,
there was considerable donbt as to the
correctness of this statement, inasmuch
as the entire new mileage for 1885 was
only 3,131 miles. It is already proven
however, that instead of .stopping at
0,000 miles, the total will probably run
up to at least 7.000 miles, and possibly
more, or a larger mileage than in any
preceding year except in 18S1 and 1SS2.
The returns to the Ruiltmy Age show
that during the first ten months of the
3'ear there were 210 lines under con
struction and that 5.439 miles of new
main track were laid. As a large
amount of preliminary work has leen
done in the way of grading, bridge
building, &c, preparatory to actual
track-laying, which is now going on in
many State and on many roads, the
new mileage during November and De
cember will le very great. The mile

With th" exception of Texas, Honda,
North Carolina, Mississippi and Sooth
Carolina,- there has been rather le8 ac
tivity in the building Of new roads than
had been efpgeted. However, many of
thejinost important lines on which
track-laying was expected to have com
menced, are now getting into shape for
more vigorous work. The outlook for
railroad construction in the South
during the coming year is very good.
A number ol very important hues will
soon be under active construction and
within V year or two the railroad
mileage of the South will 1 largely in
creased. Miss Winnie Davis impresses New
Yorkers as a graceful and gracious,
sell-possessed, cultured and attractive
young lady. The idea that any person
of good sense or good' taste, least of all
the wife of the President, would avoid
meeting her on her father's account is
absaird. X. Y. Star.
Last year I suffered greatly from a Cold,
which 'had settled on my Lnngs. My
physician could do nothing for me, and
my friends believed me to be in Consump
tion. As a last resort, I tried Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. It gave immediate re
lief, and finally cured me. I have not
the leant doubt that this medicine
SAVED MY LIFE.
I am now ruddy, healthy, and strong.
James M. Anderson, Waco, Texas.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me of
Throat and Lun troubles, after I had
been seriously afflicted for three years.
The Pectoral healed the soreness of the
Lungs, cured the Cough, ami restored my
general health. Ralph Felt, Grafton, O.
Twenty years ago I was troubled with a
disease of the Lungs. Doctors afforded
no relief, and said that I could not live
many months. I commenced using Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, and, before I bad finished
one bottle, found it was helping me. J
continued to take this medicine untH a
cured was effected. 1 believe that Ayer'e
Cherry Pectoral saved my life, SaiuueJ
