Some time since, while riding across the State, the writer stopped at the log cabin of a settler on a little creek at the foot of Big Smoky Mountain, The head of the family was a fair haired heavily bearded man of bo years, dressed in tow linen trousers and a shirt of the same home-manufactured material. The woman of the house was a tall, raw-boned, dark visaged female of 40 or more years. There were nine children of varied age and complexion, all clad in coarse .shirts and pants like the father, with the exception of the smaller chft garo, witn tne exception 01 a long shirt-like garment of tow linen.

According to the general opinion. Punt was likely to have a time of it until he could coax somebody to take the woman o!f his hands. After the business for which the crowd had met had been concluded the men set around in the shade, drank moonshine whiskey, and had a chat of half an hour more, when the crowd broke uo. Each man dren, who were clad in nature's took his newly acquired wife up be hind him on his horse or upon the back of an extra "boot" horse, and driving or leading the dogs, sheep, and cows or whatever they had trad ed for, left lor their homes. As I was going in a direction op posite to that in which I had come I rode beside the yountr man, Lone, the young fellow who had secured the best looking woman of the lot. Long's new spouse was about 23 years old, with a face of more intel ligence than any of the others. She seemed to be not onlv satisfied but pleased over the result of the trade and with all mv power ol penetra tion I failed to find any repugnance or horror over the affair. In fact, the man and woman both appeared to regard it in the light of a legiti mate transaction, and the only way I could account for it was on the es so said the man, "an' thar's ter be a big swop over yon at ground of utter ignorance of statutory Pill Dag's tomorv Through the assistance of a can teen of excellent brandv, I soon learn ed that my host had been speaking the truth, and having seen the clay eaters and other gentry not usually lound in polite society, 1 was some what prepared for what was to follow Early the next morning after a sim pie meal of "corn pone," milk, and baked possum, I mounted mv horse and. with Jenkins and his spouse set or moral law.

The judge went with me. When we got there we found a number of indictments against the citizens for selling whiskey without a license. "I prosecuted the indictments be fore a jury, and the judge held "the scales of justice. In every instance we convicted our man. When we went to the railroad station on our back the judge sent me to buy a bottle of whiskey.' "I hunted high and low, but no body would sell a drop. They said they had received harsh treatment and that they would not even iven away a drink. When I told the judge the result his face blanched and he seemed dazed.

Shortly after beginning the practice, he associated himself with Mr. W. C. iMaxwell, ot Char- otte. He stands in the very front rank of his profession, where he has practiced among the lawyers at the Charlotte bar. He is acknowledged to be the equal of the ablest and most learned of them all. He was elected solicitor of the 6th judicial district (now the nth) in 1882, receiving the nomination from the convention, althoug he was not a candidate for the place. So acceptably did he fill the position, and so able and faith ful was he in representing the inter ests of the State, that in 1886 and again in 1800 he was renominated and elected" without the slightest opposition. As solicitor he was "power in the land." Of him it may be truly said he "let no guilty man escape Not only does he possess ability of the finest type and powers tar above the average, but he has, in addition to a wise head, a warm heart and is full of generous impulses. He was hanoilv married in 1878 to Miss Marv Dewey, the accomplished daughter of the late Thomas D Dewev. of Charlotte, and in his private life, among his friends anc associates, the gentle and refining cultivated influences ol home are plainly visiable.

The follow ing is the leading editorial on the Sun to-day. "There is one question depending on t.he election of the next President which, in its momentous importance and imperativeness, must seem to every philanthropic observer to ex ceed every other political question that the people are now called upon to determine. All differences of opinion respecting administrative re form or silver coinage or free trade or protection or personal qualities or antecedents of candidates, in short, the whole ordinary array of electoral controversies are, in comparison, of inferior, indeed, of almost trivial moment. We mean the question whether those Southern States which have inherited a negro population surpassing the number of the white citizens, shall by Federal military brce be subjected to political domina tion of the negroes, to negro legisla tures, negro governors and negro judgea in their courts, or whether they shall continue to be governed by white men as now. "Now it makes no difference who may be the President whom the Re publican party elects, since Mr. Blaine is now permanently out ol the line of promotion, that party is by its nature and traditions under the neces sity of enacting and executing an election law whose purpose and enect will be to put negroes in control of several of the Southern States. There will be some unwillingness on the part a patriotic minority among the Republicans, who will revolt at the consequences ot such a measure, but their opposition cannot avail. The necessity ol the situation will sup press all such resistance. A Force bill is the first and inevitable result of a sweeping Republican victory in How ilo Yon Like This ? FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. Week before last the Weldon News contained a full account of the Third Party Convention held in Halifax Monday. Capt. E. A. Thorne pre sided. Delegates were sent to Rocky Mount. W. E. Bowers was made permanent Chairman of the County Executive Committee. The question of nominating a full county ticket was lengthily discussed, and action was at last postponed by a vote of 41 to 34. Here are two speeches made : "Mr. Pope oppposed postpone ment. They would be stronger after doing something. (Applause.) Let the iron jacket Democrats know what we would do, and if they want ed anything they could come to us. (Applause.) "George Powell favored nomina ting candidates. He said we have fished with both parties ; they had eaten all the fish and left us nothing. (Applanse.) Now is the time to make a ticket. I have been told that the big niggers and big white men are together and the poor niggers and whites are together. Let the poor niggers and poor whites stand to gether and win.

What do I want to stay in the 'Republican party lor ? The best lawyer in Eastern Carolina says there is no difference between them. (Applause.) We don't pro pose to strike the property or color line. T don't see five men here who have not been whipped to the olls by the party lash. If we make a part of the ticket let us make it all. If you don't make all, make none, and let the Democrats and Republicans have their way as they have done. I don't keep up with political issues, but I know one thing, I know I and Capt. Kitchin are the smartest men in North Car olina and both ol us say there is no difference between the old parties Starvation has brought the poor niggers and poor whites together and we propose to stop it.

We incline to the opinion that the tariff league formed between the editor of the Signal and Mr. Broadie Duke was on the basis of, "for reve nue only." What a shame that even lor hire a paper can be found in all North Carolina so lost to all shame and decency as to defend so corrupt and damnable an organization as the Cutter Trust.

B. hlackberrv CAn from t0D to r00t j A you The nomination of Adlai Ewing Stevenson, of Illinois, for Vice-President ir about the best that could have been made. It offers encourage ment and inspiration to " Democrats who are Democrats for the sake of Democracy. We spoke yesterday of the peril that menaces the South in case the Republicans carry the election in November. This danger is set forth with masterly force and earnestness in that part of the Democratic plat form which relates to the Force bill and the revolutionary Republican policy of Federal interference at the polls. Now listen to Mr. Stevenson, speaking in. Congress thirteen years ago on the same subject : It would be difficult to conceive of a question of higher moment or which more vitally concerns the sa cred right of the citizen than that of the exercise of the elective franchise free from apprehension of unauthor ized arrest and imprisonment. This IS THE CHIEF CORNER STONE OF ALL HIS OTHER RIGHTS AND PRIVI- LEGF.S. Arc the liberties of the citi zen safe when he can be obstructed in the choice of his Representative, whether by the armed soldiery or by the deputy marshals r He who be- leves that the American people will consent that their liberties may per- manenUy be held by so brittle a ten ure, has studied the history of our race with little purpose. Sir, the purity of the ballot box must be maintained. None should be per mitted to approach it except such as have the lawful qualifications, lo these the pathway must be unob structed. Every necessary guard must be thrown around it to! protect it against fraud. But, sir, while this is true, it is all important that the rights of the people, unawed by menace, to elect their Representatives shall not be abridged. Upon the full exercise of this right depends not on- y the maintenance of the independ ence of the popular branch of our Government, but ot the integrity ot the Government itself." These are the ringing words of the nomnrnt who stands with Grover Cleveland on the platform which de clares, in effect, that resistance to the Force bill, with its menace of negro domination in the South, is the first and most urgent business before the Democratic party. Stevenson is a Democrat, and no doubt of it ! He proved it when he held office under Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration and won the hearty hatred of the Mugwumps by his fi delity to the old fashioned prejudice against the bestowal of offices upon the enemies of the party in power. As First Assistant Post-Master Gen eral he was styled the axeman of the Cleveland Administration. The title is a badge of honor, and he may wear it proudly in the coming battle for Democratic principles. His nomination strengthens the party's chances of carrying Illinois, and, we may add, of securing the indispens able electoral vote of New York. His name on the ticket is a good guar antee against humbug, nonsense, and cant. Turn the Rascals Out ! New York Sun.

One day it Rwallowed an eight-day clock, which could be heard to tick and strike until it run down. Shortly afterward the snake laid 100 eggs On opening them he found each to contain an open-faced watch in good running order. He then fed it on large augers and obtained enough corkscrews to supply the Baptist convention." Wjri Then You Want iiisJi choocvts. i, IWHITlDCiRICHHOHavl ZT 10 MaBBBBij FivE'roR Ten.
