HOLT A Short Sketch of Their Lives they Wilt be Elected by Not Less Than 1$,QOO ' ' jftrity. - Ma- shacic is an itinerant vagabond, but ;i miner's shack is his home Ins hotel, his abiding I hey rook and eat and aleen there. It is their castle,, their fortress, as long as they stay. They pay no rent they choose no rooms, for there is but one "mm in a shack. It is built l'ine I'ules, is fifteen feet square, s;x feet high, has a mud and siifk chimney that barely reaches the ridge pole. There is no table, no chairs, no hed steads nor bedding, no light ning rods, no windows, and but a jingle door. They do not need windows for there are cracks between the poles that are big enough to throw a cat through. Some of these cracks are patch ed willi boards so as to limit the ventilation. The first shack ever built was id Arkansaw near Conway and was discover? ed by Colonel Faulkner, the .Arkansaw traveler. A regula tion shack for the mines is equipped with a skillet, an oven, a watf r bucket, an old box t two to sit on, and a plank 'platform in one corner that is :alled a Georgia bed. This hotel cost all told eight dollars to build it, and the furniture cost one dollar and a half. Six darkies occupy a shack. Some times eight or ten, for the negro is a sociable, institution and loves company. He fis grega rious. I.ike the gypsies they wander around and go from miue to i nine or railroad to railroad.. They are hospitable and will ivide the last ration with a vi sitor or a vagabond. These darlcies cook in the oldr fashioned way. They fry their fat bacon1 in the skillet and a.Ke ineir Dreaa in tne oven with coals underneath and coals "h top. The bread is meal and water or flour and water made "do mush and taked in a hurry aim 13 right good to flll np with- i hey sop it in the skillet and that is where the grease comes in- A darky' is perfectly ' at noma in Lis shack. H locfe the door when he leaves it for uie miues just aa if he had something there that waa worth dealing. When th A is done he washes at the branch and then cooks bis rations and . hll up. Then they talk and 'igh and play iards with an "I I greasy deck or throw dice "! bet anything they have t to bet. The traveling darky ! as proud of gatobliDg as the o.uu tvuuut : Ui 11 " ky. If he loses ha don't care Mnl says it is most as much fnn as to win. Hia dollar is gone, sides. W e used to survey him in camp as he slept and listen to the melody of hit snore. Be tween the back of his head and the ground merer was space empty space that would receive a ginger cake. A calm serenity covered his massive counten ance and his teeth were closed on a huge quid of well worn tobacco. He could no more go to sleep without tnat, tnan a child without its sucking bottle or a school girl without her gum. His head was stuck down square against his collar bone and seemed to be fastened there Without a joint. It did not need a pillow any more than did his nose or his toes. If the darky has anything to his credit on the books, he is not happy until he trades it out- "Boss, how much, has' I got comin' to me since last Saturday. I put in four days jdis week. Boss look at de book and see how we stan'." r So Ralph looks at the book and s vys : "Jack, there is a dollar and. sixty cents going to yon." Jack' smiles and says, "dats jes what I counts' it up in my head, a dollar and sixty cents. Boss I wants a can of oysters and jSome sardines and pickles, anq sum o' dem crack ers." They! will wind up with cigars or candy to balance the account. .The traveling shack darky is bound to have a pistol. They mean no harm by it, but they all have pistols. It makes them feel consequential and is as good to trad 3 on and swap and get boot or give boot as a Georgia cracker's swapping nag. There was a catalogue on the counter that was full of pictures of guns and pistols, and they studied it all over carefully and left their orders for some that co3t 82.60 apiece. One night, when there were eleven darkies in the store, I asked how many could read. Five could" read and write very well j two more a little. They 'write & great deali write letters to their kin folks. In fact, they have more educa tion than the average white place. Doys in he neighborhood. Out of nine white teamsters wno were hauling ore only two could tell the number on a car. The schoolmaster has not teen about, nor the missionary. Some of these white boys have quit work and aro'new running around with a menagerie, but they have only one animal in their show. That animal is a blind tiger, and it costs only ten cents to see him. That 19 cheap enough, but the trouble is when a man sees him once he wants to see him again, and he keeps on seeing him till his dollars are all gone and hi? sense, ' too. These menagerie boys hang around the shacks and gamble . We present to-day sketches of the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. Nominated by the great Demo cratic party in the StatK by the biggest Convention ever held in the State their nomination will be ratified by the voters of the State by a majority not less than 18,000 in the November election. The v nominees are neither new nor untried men. They have both been prominent publicists for near ly a generation. Their record is uot hid, but is known of all men and favorably kuown. " JUDGE DANIEL. Gr. FOWLE. the nominee for Governor, was born in Washington, Beaufort county, North Carolina, March 3rd 1831, and is now 57 years of age. His father was a prominent and successful merchant a devoted Whig and a consistent Presbyte rian. He was a native North Car olinian but thorohghly identified himself with all the interests and institutions of his adopted home. He came to North Carolina to live, and burned his bridges behind him. His business was profitable. He gave his children every advant age of education. At the early age of fourteen the future Gover nor of North Carolina entered the celebrated school of William Bing ham, where he was prepared lor College. At 16 he entered Prince ton, the treat seat of learning of the Presbyterians. Here he rank ed with the best scholars in the in stitution and was the jnnior orator of his society, lie graduated with honor at Priuceton in 1851. He then real law nnder that great lawyer, Judge Pearson, two years. Having laid broad and deep foun dations, he was admitted to the bar in 1853, and one, year after made - Raleigh his home. Two years later he married Miss Ellen Brent, daughter of his precepter. Judge Pearson. He practised law with success in Raleigh nutil the proclamation of Lincoln, calling for troops ; to coerce the seceding States. He volunteered as a pri vate in the Raleigh Rifles and was elected second lieutenant. Later he was anpoinied in the commissa ry department with tha rank of major. In the summer of 1861 be resigned his commission and help ed to raise the regiment known as the 8lst. ln which he was made captain and afterwards lieutenant colonel. He served with the regi ment at Fort Dill, Beaufort county, and at Roanoke Island1, where he was captured by Burnside's forces in 1862. He was imprisoned but a short while when he was paroled. In October 18G2 he was elected to the House of Commons from Wake lie was later appointed Adjutant General of North Carolina with the rank of Major General. In 181)4 be ran on the Auti-llohlen ticket in Wake for the House of Commons and was the only one on his ticket who wa electeii". In 18G5 he was appointed by Gov (Holden Super ior Court Judge. The Legislature of 18G4-'G elected him to the same office for lite. Rather than enforce the orders of General Sickle, he re- signed'this office iu 1867. In the same year he ran in Wake for the Convention, leading his ticket but meeting defeat. Iu January 1866 he married Miss Mary 15.. only daughter of Dr. Fabius -Haywood. In 18G8 he was Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Com mittee. In 1870 he was candidate for the Senate iu Wake and Frank lin, but was defeated. Again he led his ticket and the Republican office of Solicitor General be given to the Hon. . Daniel G. Fowle. While npou the bench of this State and ever since, Judge Fowle has shown a devo'tipn to duty which, combined with his great ability as a lawyer, fit him to any legal office within the gift of the government.' This was the estimate of the Democratic legislature such were the j words oi the accredited and chosen representatives of the Democratic party. On the 31st of May the Democrats of North Caro lina in convention assembled, recorded their endorsement of this estimate, aud made him the Demo cratic champion in the great fight of 1888. Already he has showu himself worthv to lead. He is abundant in labors. Siuce his nomination, Judge Fowle has devoted his entire attention to the work of mapping out the campaign, and speaking to the people. The campaign has not ytt opened aud will not uutil Au east and yet he has made lour political siieeches, uot to speak of the half dozen other addresses he has made to-assembled crowds. He spoke at Lexington duriag court, and addressed the people at Greensboro in a few words ; he ad dressed the Democratic Couven tiou that nominated him and spoke words ot cheer at the ratification by the Raleigh Young Meu!s Demo cratio Club, lie uttendea Com meucemeut at :he University, at Wake Forest, and at Trinity Col lege. On Mouday, accompanied by an escort oi tue louug jieu s Democratic Club of Kaieigb, he went to Morehead to greet the teachers in their annual assembly Passing through New Berne, he addressed the Young Men's Demo cratic Club. He gives all his time and all his thoughts to the people and interests himself in whatever interests them. That is the kind of man the people of North Caro lina want lor Governor. They want a man who is desirous of promoting their educational institutions and their public school svsieiu. The interest Judge Fowle manifests in all these objects, which are dear to North Caroliuiaus, makes him ajso dear to them. Such, iu brief, is the record of Judgs Fowle's public life and statemeut of the efforts he is put timr Ibrth to secuie Democratic success. Personally, Judge Fowle is a man of probity. His life is above re proach. He has no vices. He is a man of the strictest sobriety. U is so free from personal wroug-do ing as that uo intimation agaius his personal life has ever be uttereu t'veu oy his bitterest po litical euemy. lie has always been a man of uprightness of life. It is his great tower of strength with the people of North Caroliua. They have rarely elevated to the guber natorial chair any except a man of integrity. When Judge Fowle shad occupy that chair, it can truth fully be said that no man n.ore up- right in. life has been the Governor of this Commonwealth. This writer happens to know, that it has for many ytars been the am bition of Judge FoIe to be Gov ernor of his native State. Although he has held other places of honor, it is the only position that his am bition has led him to desire. We are glad, and thousands of North Carolinians are glad, that this am bition :s to be gratitb d. It is an honorable ambition to aspire to the gubernatorial chair if the State. We regard it its the highest office in the gift of the voters; and the people so regard it. They pay such homage to a Governor :s they pay to no other pnolic officer.. Iu North Carolin-.i i he Governcrs ti;ive been our liest, wisest and truest men. The Democrats propose to keep up the rule by electing Judre Fowle to succeed the present incumbeuf, of whose administration the receut State Convention said: "The D'-mocracy of Nqrth Carolina cor dially approve the administration of Hod. Alfred 31. Scales as honest, patriotic and conservative." the same age as Judge Fowle. They are equ, ally; yoked together. Col. Holt was reared on a turn and was afterwards .prepared for; the University at , Caldwell .Institute. He entered the .University in 1349. , He did not graduate there, bat ! went into a wholesale dry goods house in Philadelphia to learn the! business, having determined to be a business man. His lather was a successful business man: and bollt the first plaid mills South of .the Potomac. Iu 1851 Col. Holt -returned and weut in business with his father which partership contin ued until 1860. Then" Col. Holt mrchased the Granite Cotton Mill, which bad onty 528 spmdles. Now it has 8,474 Bptirales and -434 looms. It consumes daily from 10 to 12 bales of cotton, and. famishes support to 1,200 men, women; ana children. It is the largest factory in North Carolina owned by one man. Col. Holt is eminently a success ful man. W I at ever he has pat his hand to has succeeded. ' Whether as manufacturer, farmer, railroad President, or legislator he has been a success. Men don't "happen" to succeed in these days of sharp competition along all lines. Col. Holt bad good opportunities to make himself a success, and be has used them to the very beet idvautage. All his life he has been industrious and prudent. Trained by his father- to work, he has never learned how to rest. His life is work. His being is to labor. He knows how to plan and to car ry out his plaus to a profitable is sue. Men who are successful iu their own affairs may be trusted to serve the public. When elected Lieutenant Gov ernor, col. Holt win not be a new man or unaccustomed to public life. Like Judge Fowle, Col. Holt was reared a Whig aud held the office of Cbaiman of the old county Court iu Alamance. When the Whig party bad no longer an existence, Col. Holt became a Democrat. In 1872 he was elected County Commissioner. Ia 1876 he he was elected to the State Senate In 1882,1884 and 1886 he was elect ed to represent his county in the House of Representatives. In 1884 he was made Speaker of the House. At this session important legisla tion affecting the Western N. C. Railroad was the subject of inter, est of Western members. The fight was made against the aid,the Western members desired and the result; was in doubt. So close was the vole that on two occasions there was a tie vote and as Speaker Col. Holt cast the deciding vote in favor of the aid desired by the west. This1 fact as well as bis constant inpport of every proposition look ing to the oom pie tiou .of- the Western N.

Daniel Manning managed his campaign and was a strong member of a strong Cabinet. .Tow Daniel Dougherty has renominated him. The word Daniel- signifies judgment of .' God and very appropriate it is. . and chil dren in the State. Judge Fowle's efforts in that campaign contribut ed largely to the Democratic victo ry in North Carolina, the first De mocratic victory since the war. This writer, then a school boy, re tains to-day a vivid recollection of Jndge Fowle's eloquent oration at Wilson in that campaign. Few Bpeeches that a boy or man hears stick to him more than a few weeks Or months. The masterly speech. wuich stirred his hearers, of Judge Fowle on the occasion above, rer lerred to, is still fresh .n our mind. His canvass in 18T6 has not per uana been surpassed for good re suits iu the history of North Caro lina. , ' In 1880 occurred tho memorable contest for the nomination for Gov ernor between Gov. Jarvis and Judge Fowle. We doubt if any campaigu for a nomination ever se cured HO great a. general interest. Gov. Jaryis secured the nomina tion. Judge Fowle made hity speeches in the campaign. In 1884 J udge Fowle was an as -pirant lor Congress in the Fourth District. Hisl chief competitor was Hon. Wm. R. Cox, who after a close, warm, and at times a doubt ful contest, secured the nomina tion. Although defeated for the nomination, Judge Fowle spoke in more than forty counties in behalf of the. Detnocratip ticket. I w nen I'resiuent Cleveland ws I elected, the Democratic Legislature as sea tnat Judge i?owie De ap pointed Solicitor General. They said oi mm : fit you see ht to ap puint any citizen of the State to of- hce we respectfully ask . that tho In our State, in well aa in our National ticket, the sc o.nul place is filled by a well known and tried Democrat. This year the Demo crats have attached no men of the Rill .English stamp to the ticket, i ut have given the people tickets which, like the wonderful one horse shay, of which the poet sings, is strong at all points. Our nominee for Governor is a lawyer by pro fession, ha?. made his living by his profession. lie is also a faimer. He is an orator eloquent and popular. For the second place on the tiuket the Democrats named, COL. THOMAS 31. HOLT, of Alamance, who will be tho next Lieutenant Governor of Noith Carolina. Col. Holt had uot been a candidate lor the nomination. Early iu the year he was ; promi nently meniioDed in connection with the nomination for Governor, but had informed his friends that he would uot be iu the race He was nu an aspirant for any tion. Patriotic Democrat that he is, Col. Holt was in attendance at the Democratic Convention aiding in the nomination of a State ticket. His county voted to nominate Capt. Alexander. When it was certain that Cant. Alexander would not accept the nomination, the Con vention was at sea. There were no candidates for the idace. Th friends of Col. Holt asked him to accept the place. He consented and was nominated. It is a clear in stance where the office sought the man. How that he is nominated Col. Holt desires to be elected, and lrom now until the election the rule will be reversed and the man will seek the offiye. Col. Holt believes and the Chronicle believes that after a man is nominated he owes it to his party .to use his best en deavors to secure his own election and the election of the other nomi nees of the party. Col. Holt has already Rpokeu twice aud will shortly enter the canvass to fight foe Democratic success until the close of the campaign. Col.

Honest men and men who believe in honest work and honest methods will be glad to give mm tneir sup port, Col.
