DANIEL, Of Halifax. An indignant Georgia editor says that if North Caroliua will furnish the tar Georgia will foot the bill for the feathers for that celebrated English committee. Hon. Ciiai-ncey M. Dei'ew says that in less than two years the panic of n ...,;,.,. i i i , imn m -n i e . , ,- ous conspiracy and only by a united 18U3-0 4 will be forgotten and thiscoun try will be cantering along on the broad road of prosperity. The foreign missionaries in the Shin King province in China are fleeing, fear ing violence at the hands of Chinese al diers, who, it is reported, are burning Christian chapels. Senator Brick, it is said, threatens to resign his seat and allow Governor MeKiuley to fill the vacancy in case the Democrats of Ohio should censure him at the forthcoming meeting of the State convention. TllE giddiest old girl in America is Mid. l'lolsor. She is 'J3 years old and a bicycle rider of vim and nerve. She recently challenged any woman of her age in the world to ride a bicycle race with her for a Bible. Governor Carr says he will do eerything he can to prevent lynching, anj will recommend to the next legisla ture that each execution take place inside the penitentiary, that the criminal chs may be more impressed than others. Mr. John II. Inman, of New Y.rk, who has made a trip through the South ern coal fields, says the South is on the eve of an era of great development. This opinion prevails every where, and it is w-'ll sustained by the many evidences of business revival. The Thirdites in convention at llali fax last Friday made no nominations, but we learn that tin y will meet anain in October on the same day the Republi can convention is to be held. This look verv much like an acceptance of the old invitation of the spider to the fly. Bt Tl.r.n, Kitehin and Skinner, niana p ts of the new consolidated Rep I'op., aggregation of wonders will exhibit in North Caroliua until November next. One ticket admits to the entire perform once. Walk right in, gentlemen, and see the greatest ringstrcaked anJ striped wonder of the nineteenth century. The Washington l'ost has gone owr the whole I'oited Slates, slate by slate, and congressional district by congression al district, and has readied the conclusion that in the next huuso of representatives there will bo 1.SS democrats, l.4 repub licans, and 14 populists, and in the next senate there will be 42 democrats, ;l" republicans, 5 populists, and 4 doubtful. The "green goods" shovers are trying Dew dodge to catch gudgeons. In some of the circulars they send out they enclose a new one dollar bill as a sample of the stuff they sell. The bill is genuine. They take the chances on losing the dollar to eatch a customer. They sent one to an Asheville man the other day who didn't bite and is therefore a dollar ahead. A Chicago astronomer firmly believes he has discovered vegetation on the moon, lie has constructed a telescope on a novel plan. Instead of a single object glass he uses a composite one built of seven lenses lyiojia the same plane. He was usiogthe new telescope recently when he suddenly aaw a spot of vivid green on the moon.

As the cotton yield is very -K'' this section has no ojU"e to com plain of the present season. Another IV ratio pledge has been redeemed. The MeKinley tariff law no longer lives to oppress the people and disgrace the statute books of the coun try. The Democrats promised its repeal and the promise has been kept. The new Iiitt may not be all that the people desired but it is a vast improvement on the Me Kinley net. TllE Wilmington Messenger has this to say of the work on which Captain W. R. Bond, of Scotland Neck, is now en. gaged: Wo learn that Capt. William Bond, of Halifax, is preparing u work in which ''Four Famous Rallies" will be written up elaborately and with great research. We are glad or this. Ho is fully competent to do the much needed work thoroughly well. Gettysburg will be one of the battles treated, and North Carolina will at last obtain her deserts. Secretary Smith, in bis speech in Atlanta a few days ago, suggested several plans by which a greater use of silver can be brought about, but the one he preferred was the "repeal of the lax on the issue of State banks and let us con trol our own banks," on which the gen tleman from Georgia is eminently level headed. The repeal of this tax would go a long way in the solution of the financial problem. It is well not to forget what the Dem oeratie Congress has done, as recounted by Speaker Crisp in his Atlanta speech : We have repealed the McKinl.y law. We have greatly reduced taxation. We have made liviug cheaper. We have made all money taxable, Wc have taxed surplus incomes. Wc have restored freedom of elections. W e have reduced public expenditures. We have declared undvim: hoitilitv to all trusts and mouono ies nr.-mij,.,! r,,r the oppression of the people. The Democrats of Halifax countv should not underestimate the strength of the Rep.-I'op. coalition. It is a danger- ef fort can we hope to win in the approach ing struggle. Let the white men of the eounly organize thoroughly, for the work. The old enemy's hopes are hiith, but Dr. Green is in the field and we all remember how he has led us on to victo ry in the past and he will do it again. Follow him, and victory will once more perch upon our banuer. Coi W. C. 1'. Rreckinriiuie, the silver tongued orator of Kentucky, has been defeated for renomination to Con gress from the Ashland district, and Madeline I'ollard has her revenge. Col. W. C. Owens has beeu nominated to succeed him. It was a long and a bitter campaign. Breckinridge fought his battle with su perb ability and splendid audacity. But his defeat was decreed from the first. After the shameful exposure of his con duct in the I'ollard case all the best ele ments of society combined against him. The result shows that in this Christian land good men and good women are a power in politics. We congratulate Kentucky. She has nobly redeemed herself and Breckinridge's career is ended. He should spend his few remaining days in atoning for his past misdeeds.

THE OLD NORTH STATE. tVi'iS' ''.I li IIF.El, UM'J'KX AV.S' FROM CHEROKEE TO MAXTEO. A great hailstorm swept over Stokes couuty a few day- a.'o. Crops were damaged over a se ipe of seventy-five square miles. Twelve prominent citizens of Guilford county arc on trial at Greensboro for forcing a pair of Mormon missionaries to le ive the county. The Seaboard Air Line is preparing to build an iron bridge over l'ee Die river, iu lieu of the wooden bridge that now spaus that stt uu.

General Stoneman, whose cavalry raided through Mecklenburg and Cabar rus counties at the close of the war, is dead. He died at the home of his sister iu Buffalo, New York. The cases against the directors of the suspended bank of New Hanover have been moved from Duplin Superior court to Lenoir Superior court for tri.il, and will be heard at the November term. The larmers iu North Carolina are curing some of the brightest lobaeeo they have had in several years. They anlieipale fine prices. Though the crop is not so large as usual, the .piality is belter. Secretary Carli-le has lined .1. W. Brown, proprietor of Granite Springs distilling company, for making false entries in bis books ol whiskey produc tion, for the purpose of deceiving inter nal revenue officers. Charlie Cadott, while trying to board a northbound vestibule at Salisbury last ) week, lo-t his footing on the steps and was thrown a.'aiust a switch tared, smashing it to pieces. His foot got un der the wheel and was m i-hed in a terri ble manner, the Herald say. A child that the uc.-t rs c ir.si.lcr iu the nature of a wonder, was born a few days ago in Mecklenburg cuintv. It has six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot. The extra toes and lingers are pcrf ctlj lev, lop d and sli ipo- ly having the same bono and movement as the others.

Johnston couuty. The monu ment will be unvailed Oct. 1st, it is thought. E. J. Fuller, who is charged with the murder of Ren Parker, at Fayetleville o ie year ago, and who was convicted, but appealed and was granted a new trial, was on Tuesday removed from Fayette- viile to Rockingham. Ho will be tried there on the 17th, Judge Brown having allowed a change of venue. The Shelby Aurora says that the mon- anle business flourish in that section and bring shekels into the farmers pock ets. It is beiuL' shinned to New .Tomov. and over seven thousand dollars were paid to the people of Cleveland and sur rouuding counties d "ring the month of August for this yellow sand. A change it is believed, will soon be made whereby Faint Rock, once the terminus of two divisions of r ailroads, will b.' made a flag station, and Asheville will be made the dividing line between th two divisions The change would be of considerable benefit to Asheville and give it more importance as a railroad center.
