The House and Senate met in joint session yesterday to count the electoral returns for President and Vice Presi dent. Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton were declared elected President m and Vice President of the United States for the term beginning March 4th, 1889. - The Richmond Dispatch 1 says that the "no tax no vote" plan did not work well in Virginia, for the reason that the northern republicans sent down money to pay the takes f the ignorant, thriftless, non-tax paying negroes, and made sure of their votes in that way. The President has sent the bill mak ing an Executive Department of the department of Agriculture to the At torney General for an opinion as to its constitutionality.

The "White Caps" organization is said to be traveling South. jWe trust when it strikes North Carolina it will hit a wall of hard common sense and rebound to the land of isms where it originated.

A game of baseball between an all American nine and a nine made up of Americans and Australians, was played in Egypt last Saturday within the shadow of the Pyramids and! for the amusemeht and edification! of the Sphinx, which it is said looked down on them in a very absent minded way. A Catholic priest, at Memphis, Tehn., known as Father Ashfield, aged about 50 years, was stabbed to death by A. Reeves, Monday morning last. Reeves had been imprisoned for insan ity, and through the kindly Offices of the priest, had been released; and he repaid his. friend by -stabbing him to death while in bed asleep. A band of eight masked men entered the house of Wesley Oman, a wealthy man living, near Findley, Ohio, la$t Saturday and after binding Oman and two sons, by applying a red hot poker compelled a third son to tell where his father's money was, amounting to two thousand dollars, which they got away with.

Sec'y Bayard has once more becom a target for criticism. He has demand ed the resignation of H. H. Sewall, U. b. Consul General to Samoa. Mr. Se wall has recently been a witness before the foreign committee of the House and Senate, and in his testimony regarding Samoau matters he took occasion to express opinions criticising the Depart ment of State in, a somewhat severe manner, Whether Mr. Bayard has done right or wrong in compelling him av ,Mi niuo is question, but like the rest of us, Mr. Bayard is hu man, and has punished his subordinate officer for indiscretion. Anvbodv p!p might have done the same thing qnder the saine nrctimsfancea. ' ; .Col..

Senator Vest is going to have some fan with the Republican Senators when the Senate conferees on the Springer "Omnibus" bill make their report to the Senate, j Mr. Vest will prove by the Record that in 1875, when New Mexico was thought to be Republican, that many Republicans now- in the Senate voted in the House for the ad mission of that Territory along with Colorado. Now he wants to know whv these same men oppose the admission of that territory. The inference is very plain to Senator Vest and every body else. New Mexico is now Dem ocratic. What care these Republican Senators for consistency when party interests are at stake. The Vanderbilts are richer than all North Carolina. The whole value of personal property in the State is $217, 700.000. The Vanderbilts own $274,000. 000. This immense wealth was made ac cording to law, perhaps, but not by such honest, productive labor as wealth made by the farmer or raachanic. It is the product of speculations in prop erty, bonds and stocks. Grand gains in this way, signalizes great losses to others. Vanderbilts millions cost other people widows and orphans among them tears and snffprirft .0, without producing anything to the wealth of the country, or for the re lief f those who were injured by the accumulation. Not so with the gains, of the farmer and mechanic. Every lick they make is an addition to the wealth and happiness of themselves and others, and robs no one. The report of the President and Su perintendent of the Insane Asylum at Morganton, from Dec. 1st, 1886 to Nov. 30, 1888, embracing two years, has been sent into the Governor, and pre sents a complete account of the Insti tution in all its departments. The Asylum is reported to be on a better basis than ever before, with increased ability to perform the work assigned it. The Legislature is asked for an ap propriation of $83,000 for the current year, aud $94,000 for the year 1890- which will give a per capita of $187,50 or 4o0 patients. The application of $5,000 is renewed for the purpose of im proving the road between the Asylum aid the R. R. depot this sum, to gether with the use of 50 convicts, to macadamize the rpad. The Superintendent reports the per centage of the recovery for 1887 was 35;frl888, 30. The expenditures for the two years were $142.050 00 He also reports the faithful perform ance of duty by steward and matron. The Institution seems to be meeting the purpose for, which it was establish ed as fully as any similar institution in the-ountry. The Legislature. The bill to incorporate the Davis & Wiley Bank, Salisbury, has passed its third reading in the Senate. The bill to require the rudiments of Agriculture to be taught in the public schools has passed its second reading. The bill to promote the efficiency the State Guard came up in the Senate on its third reading, and a lively discus sion ensued between those in favor and those in opposition to it, but it passed, 23 to 14.

A good old useful man has gone to his rest after a life journey of 80 years. Mr. Mcintosh departed this life at his residence in Taylorsville on Feb. 7tb. He was so intimately identified with the place, being one of the earliest set tles there, that one could scarcely think of the place without thinking of him. He was postmaster, there at the time of his death, and had been fer many years before. He was an active, zealous elder of the Presbyter ian church, and continued to labor in all the work of the church to the end of his life. He was a father to the fatherless; and the example of his quiet, peaceful and benevolent life was a constant reproof to the erring and support U those who sought to do good He was beloved by his neighbors and alt who knew him well say "blessed are the dead who die iu the- Lord " The State Press. j Soventv-five marriaffa licenses were ( issued in"N;ish county , during Decern-( J Hand Janaashville Argonaut.1 iThe editor is still confined to his nibm, suffering with catarrh, sciatica, .neuralgia, and almost all other kinds of achjr things.

This is very probable if the Democrats cm succeed in capturing the legislature of New York as they expect to do." At any rate it is safe to say that a man of Grover Cleveland's experience, pluck and back-bone will not be allewed to remain in private life. - Such men are too rare, and too badly needed in pub lic life. Mr. Cleveland has removed Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton and nominated Hugh S. Tonipsou of South Carolina, to succeed him. Mr. Torap son is assistant Secretary of the Treas ury at present and a very warm friend of the President. The removal of Mr. Edgerton was not a surprise to anyone familiar with the workings of the Com mission. It had several times been in timated to him that his resignation would be accepted, but he refused to take ihe hint, and finally when the President asked him in plain language to resign he declined to do so, and the removal followed. .

H. MOI'S OLD STAND. Salisbury, N. C. Or Time is whirljng us along at a rapid rate and what ever steps we take or whatever mark we make must be made without delay. , We want the patronage of the public and to get it we know we must merit it. We are in perfect sympathy with the man who makes his own dollars and es pecially if he digs them out of the ground. WE'VE BEEN TTIERE aud know what a dollar looks like that is made on the farm, and our purpose is to furnUh goods to the masses at the shortest per cent, possible to enable us to buy meat and bread. Our perfect arrangement at headquars, 466 Broad way,. New York, enables us to buy all elasseiVf merchan- ,ttse "freat sacrifice-frequently at half price as in a case of this kiiid whe we were in New York only a few days ago we bought one hundred dozen hats, a large portion of them" fine fur $3.50 hats, and we will sell the lot at $1.50 and hundreds of other articles in the same proportion. We mean to cut the rotten credit system all to smash and furnish! the people who Jrade at Salisbury a me dium through which they can buy Uheir goods at a cash price and save the eno: mous long profits that are bound to be paid when goods are sold on a credit. We are going to sell one hundred thousand dollars worth of goods this year. Don't you believe we can do it if we sell them right ? Well, we are going io ao that. The nimble, clear cut cash : t ? t ... , in ice wnicu we will sell at is as much below the long time credit price as the elect ric light is ahead of of the old pine torch, and we prefer selling ten dollars worth of goods and make one profit, than to make one dollar on every three we sell. Now, do you see it ? This js how we can sell the one hundred thou sand dolla rs wort h of goods this year A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TRADE AT THE RACKET STORE. Our first reason why we can under sell the houses that sell on" a credit : We do not have to employ a small army of took-keepers, type writers, credit men, etc. Our second reason: We buv and for cash and have no bad debts. We need not comment on this; there is not a man who does not know the difference between cash and credit. The paying customer don't have to pay the losses on the non-payiug ones. You sec it is this way with us: We are not sporting men or giving grand entertainments to dudes and dudesses for the purpose of courtiii" favor of popularity. We dress plainly. live plaiuly, in the same old way our fathers lived and give all the extra profit it takes to put on style to our customers. Some of our competitors, not all, wHl tell you we are a sort of "Cheap John con cern," but we have yet to learn that ihere is any disgrace in selling goods cheaper than others and still make a living profit. We have only this to say: When you want first class staple goods at a low price come to the Racket Store, and if you wa.it the same class of goods at high toned prices, go or send your orders to high-toned, fine-haired competitors, and to every one who has the dollars to spend we earnestly beg you to get our prices. We are going to save you money,-and will have kind and polite salesmen, who are gentlemen, to show and sell pur goods, and we will rally in the spring and add a firsfclass MILLINERY DE PARTMENT to our store. , Watch the papers We will from week to week let jou know what weare dqing.
