I reckon we had better quit reading the papers and take up the Bible awhile and go to meeting and draw our minds away from this sublunary world until some of these things are over. Thank goodness that the prize fights are over for a season. That job is done. Now let us have peace. I reckon most men would confess to a sneaking desire to see a prize fight. I do, and it is one of the best evidences of original sin that I know of. I would like to be out of sight behind a curtain and. have a peep hole and see how it was done. One time would do for me ; it is curiosity. If there was much blood I would retire early for blood makes me sick. I expect I would take sides and want my man to whip. Original sin makes a man or a boy love to see a dog fight or a chicken fieht or a bull hemt or to run foxes with hounds. It is all cruel and devilish and hardens the heart.

He is not in favor of inflation. He doesn't believe in a silver dollar worth only 68 cents. That would be to coin a lie and stamp the eagle on it. He believes that a dollar of silver ought to be worth a dollar in gold. On this basis he is in favor of the free coinage of silver. Mr. Glenn told of a conversation he had with a Third Partyite, who said that "his folks" had told him if he voted for Weaver he wold get $50 apiece for himself and each member of his family. The government was going to "print" it and send it to the Clerks of the Court to distribute. This was a delusion worse than the forty acres and a mule.

What a miserable life it is that is be-t away on races and fights and the turns ot a card. When a man is on his last bed what comfort is there in saying to himself I bet and I bet and I bet. Only this and nothing more. It our young men would only stop and think how much better is a useful life than to die a wreck and a nonentity ! But I did not start to preach a ser mon. I was only ruminating upon the spectacle that the world presents to those who see it just now as it re volves upon its axis. Human beings men, women and children dying in Persia and Russia by the thousands . r ' 1 every aay uying 01 pestilence or famine dying faster than they can be buried, and in Hamburg at the rate of 2 so a day, and all business stopped except in funerals and grave digging, and all night long the mut fled rumbling of the hearses and carts and ambulances and in almost every cottage, ol the poor the wails and groans of misery. Pestilence and famine are holding a carnival. These people are not our friends but they are human beings with hearts and feelings and affections like our own. God pity them ! And as the world turns another scene comes to view where thousands of wild excited people are gathered to see two men punch each other unto death or victory, and there are shouts and yells and oaths and pandemonium and bettine is hieh, last and furious, and like a shadow over all is the rlwil smilintr and haDDV and his . mm O 1 forked tail is wagging calm and se rene. I ruminated over this and SuDDose death on the pale horse should suddenly have ap Deared in that crowd, or the destroy ino- ano-el should have come with his o . . , crlitrerinjr sword, or the h.ast wind hoi id have waited tnere a uream ui the npstilence that is ragine on the othpr side would it have violated the eternal fitness of thmes ? The trouble with all sporting is the company that one must keep who wishes to enjoy it. 1 nis trouDie ue gins with the school boy at his games of marbles or ball, and with the young man who is fond of baseball, or billiards, or cards, or the young lady who likes to dance. Some good, pious people believe that ail such things are sinful in themselves, while some believe they become a sin only by association and over-indulgence. Every man has the privilege of his own opinions upon these things, and every parent is responsible for the good conduct ol his children ; but still the preachers are right in and forewaining, and if they o . .1 .a do assume to know more tnan otnei people it is a pardonable presump tion, for as a general thing they are against vice and folly in all its forms. Nevertheless a greater tryanny than the tyranny of pries tcralt. I wonder what is the matter with the people and why they are so rest less and excited and why they are all so split up and torn up in politics. For the life of me I can't see any great difference between ouf privileges and enjoyments now and what they used to be. Gotton is very low, but I remember when lfc was 5 cents a pound and we had to haul it 200 miles to market. Salt and iron were 4 cents a pound and steel 75 cents. Those were hard times sure enough, we can after the elections are over. I don't know of any farmer who is j suffering, and fo my opinion a man who owns a good little farm and has a healthy wife and industrious chil dren is more secure against the ills of life than any other class upon earth. If he will keep a debtor and credit account with his Maker and put down his liberty and independence his time that is all his own and not another's his latitude and longitude his pure aountry air and good water that crowded neighbors do not con taminate like they do in cities his distance from vice and folly and fashion and temptation his security against pestilence and his good ap petite by day and his rest by night when all these blessings are weighed and put down for what they are worth he ought to be ashamed to envy the towns or the cities or the plutocrats. 1 have tried and l Know it and if I ever undertake to raise another family I will go to the coun try as quick as I can get there. bILL ARP. opposition. His treatment 01 the tariff was .clear, cogent and convinc ing. I can't believe, said he, that a man who fears God or loves his country will dare to tell this people that the Democrats have made no effort to reduce the tariff. One hundred and forty-six million dollars are paid out yearly in pen sions to Federal soldiers. Some of these were never in 1.000 miles of a battlefield, never heard the shriek of a shell or the whisde of a bullet. It is a shame and an outrage that men should draw pensions for in juries received while applying the torch to Southern barns, or raiding Southern hen roosts. Did you ever hear of a Republican President veto ing a pension bill f The only man who had the courage to do it was the very man Mr. Buder is going about over the State abusing and de nouncing as unworthy of your sup port. Why don't you tell the peo ple this, unles you are merely an aid to the Republican party ? You have not one solitary word to say against Harrison. Why is it that you have so much abuse for Demo crats and not a word to say against Republicans? It is passing strange. It looks like you were working in the interest of Harrison. Mr. Glenn then drew a contrast between Cleveland and Weaver in their treatment of the South. He told of the Southern men Cleveland had honored with posi tions in his cabinet and on the Su preme bench. He was the first Pres ident in many years who consideied Southern men worthy to represent the flag of the country in foreign courts. He told how Weaver had vil ified and abused the Southern people, long years after the war, read extracts from his speeches, and showed up his record while military commander in Tennesssee. None but a coward would strike a man who is down. Mr. But ler, I appeal to your patriotism. Can you endorse all the damnable things said against your people by J. B. Weaver ? Was your father n the war? (Mr. Butler nodded in the affirmative.) Weaver says your father was a traitor, and a man-hating, fWe have been requested to keep woman-selling scbird.

Bell asked how much would that bill have add ed to the circulation, and Butler re plied : "About 33 cents per capita." If that is so, you sold out for 33 cents and you are worse than Judas Iscar iot. He received thirty pieces of silver as the priee of his treachery. Judas Iscariot went out and hanged himself and I advise you to do the the same thing. (Mr. Butler denied having told Mr. Bell this.) Mr. Bell says that you said it, and a num ber of other gendemen told me they heard you say it, and I will as soon believe them as Marion BuUer. In 1888 you supported Mr. Cleveland, both in your paper and on the stump. I My friend you studied law once, and you know what estoppel is. You told the people then that Cleveland was worthy of their support. Were you telling the truth then, or are you telling it now? The idea of Mr. Butler criticising Mr. Cleveland ! What do you suppose Grover would do if he knew you were down here criticising him ? Who is Grover Cleveland ? A Third Party voice. A rascal! The man who says that is a great er rascal than Grover Cleveland ever was. Third Party voice : Didn't he put a nigger in power? Yes, he did. Do you complain of 1 that ? But I saw a sight to day never before witnessed in North Carolina. I saw your white men riding side by side, cheek by jowl, with the blackest negroes in the county. And I saw in that procession an old white horse never seen in any sort of procession before. (This was Dr. Mott's white horse, bestrode by a Republican.) Butler and the Weaverites say to the government: "Issue money! Issue money ! ! " They think the government can print in any quantity and give it to the people. Did y)u ever hear of such -nonsense ? Butler says the Force bill is a small issue; that the Democrats are keep ing it before the people in order to delude them and blind their eyes to the real true issues. Is it a dead issue? Reid says it is not dead. The Republican plat form, in which the party is solemnly oledeed to its passage and enforce- affairs been pure, honest, able and unobjectionable ? I put this question to Mr. Butler and I ask him to an swer it : Are you not, deep down in your heart, ashamed of your candi date, Exum? Will you give the people an answer to that simple ques tion ? A hundred men stand around me who heard Mai. Robbins ask you if you would support the Democratic State ticket, and you said you would. He asked you if you would support Cleveland, and you replied, if the Democratic State Convention said so. You went to that Convention and participated in its deliberations just as I did. Mr. Butler, there is a man now standing so close to you you might touch him with your right hand, who went to that Convention and supported Gov. Holt. He was a little disgrunded because his can didate failed to receive the nomina tion. But you patted him -on the back and said : "Old fellow, we beat you fairly. ;Now go home and work for Elias Carr." Others here heard you say it. Deny it if you can. To day that man is working for Elias Carr, and you are moving heaven and earth to defeat him. Mr. Glenn then read extracts from the Caucasian, in which Mr. Butler said he would support the ticket headed by Elias Carr under any and all circumstances. Fellow citizens, this man talks about a subsided press and news paper lies. He ought to know some thing about them. He is the editor oi a newspaper himself. In conclusion Mr. Glenn delivered to Mr. Butler a message from Mrs Senator Vance. The scene was in tensely dramatic. It was the only time Mr. Butler showed any emotion. During the hour and a half of stern denunciation and vitriolic irony, he scarcely winced under the burning lash. But now he blanched visibly. "His coward lips did from their color fly," and his eyes dropped, unable to meet Mr. Glenn's gaze. 260 Pairs Mens' Woolen Pants, 276 " 122 " 98 " 66 " 59 " 62 " 86 " 250 Odd Woolen Coats, 171 ' " Vests, . mm m t 1 T 1 In something that is stylisn, elegant ana equal to tailor Made Suits, we shall offer 123 Suits, 3 Button Cutaways, 16.50, regular 22. qo everywhere else. 126 Suits at 12.50, Regular Prices Elsewhere, " 10.00, 75C 1. 00 1.25 i-75 2.50 3.00 3.75 4.5o 2.50 50 132 142 105 99 86 121 And to be cotton.

These are the utterances of the man who vilified your father and mine. If your father is living he is ashamed of his son Marion Butler. If he is dead, I the son of another Confederate soldier, am ashamed for that dead father, of his son, Marion Butler. Weaver is in lavor of paying the Federal soldiers over again. On yes terday "Governor" Exum said it was right to Day them. Will you say it? I want you to tell this people in your hour and a halt reply. you say the Democratic party is the ene mv of silver coinge. The first free coinage act, that of 1837, was passed by the Democratic party. If you want to be honest, why don't you tell the truth? Why don't you tell them that in the Forty-fourth Con gress a Democratic House passed a silver bill which was defeated by a Republican Senate ; that in the next Congress it passed a Democratic House and benate, and was vetoea by a Republican President ; and was finally passed over his veto? You abuse the Democrats for not passing the Stewart bill. I ask you to say Ocala convention, of which Mr. But- 1 1 j. 1. .u i icr was a nicinuci, uju. 111c uuuuic to denounce it in unmistakable terms. They did not think there was no danger in it. And yet you have, the effrontery to stand up before a God fearing people and say there is no danger in it ; that it is a mere delu sion and a blind. What is Weaver's record on this matter ? He was in favor of a more infamous force bill than that which now threatens the liberties ot the South. In the Forty-sixth Congress, when an amendment was introduced to take away the soldiers from the polls, Mr. Garfield stood shoulder to shoulder with the Democrats in this just fight, and helped them with his voice and vote. But there was one man who did everything in his Dower to defeat the amendment. He made speeches against it, and said : "Let the the soldiers remain at the oolls." That man was J. B. Weaver Tell the people, Mr. Butler, whether vou endorse his course Whv should we have a change in the State government ? Is not Elias Carr an honest man ? Has not the Democratic administration of State Heayen is not reached at a single liound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount the summit round by round. I count this thing to be grandly true, That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common sod To a purer air and a broader view. We rise by the things that are under feet, By what we have mastered of greed and gain, . By the disposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hour ly meet. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust. When the mornine calls us to life and light ; Rat our hearts erow weary, and ere the night Our lives are trailing the sordid dust We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we nrav. And we think that we mount the air on wines. Bevond the recall of sensual things, While our feet still cling to the heavy clay. BY EVA A. MADDEN. Out in the field is the golden-rod.
