Times use to was when the people called a man from his retirement and axed him to serve them, but now-a- days a feller can bold on to an office until he thinks it belongs to him. He don't wait to be called, but he gits there first ahead of everybody and you can hear him a raumblin "I'm in and I'll be durned if I aint a goin' to stay in. M've got some pursonal friends, and 1 can get the niggers and scalawags and you may go to the devil with your convention." You see they control ' the scalawags by keepm' ' em in office, and the scala wags control the niggers,: and they all mix up hash together and call it independence. This party hash is growin- bigger and ; bigger, and if our people don't mind will absorb a heap more sorebacks than Toombs. Bob never would work in a wagon .with a driver behind no how, and I have thought that maybe if he could get in the rear and butt it around like a goat,and once in a while turn tbe concern over, he would be satisfied. But some how or other I like Bob as a man not as a very great man for, in my opinion, one man ain't very much greater than another'no how. The principle dif ference is in the quantity of conceit and impudence. Time was when mo desty was one of the ear marks of greatness, but that's a lost art now. Yours, Bill Aep. P. S.

This town has ben thrown into a wild state of excitement by the dis covery of bars of gold buried In some of its very streets. Yesterday Mac Dusenberry, a colored boy, ploughed up a bar of the. precious - metal five inches long and over three-quarters of an inch thick, and weighing twen ty ounces, its value being computed at $400. It is a beautiful brignt yel low, and was evidently molded into its present form about a year ' ago. John Dobson found a similar bar buried in his back yard, and several citizens have found similar bars, the whole amounting in value to about $10,000. Many citizens are now at work rooting up their bacfc yards in search of more of the metal. The appearance of the gold is accounted for by the fact tnat lorty-nve years aero a stage was robbed here of gold bars to the . amount of $40,000, and it is supposed that the thieves hid the metal. . .

Concord JSz The "Mutual Ad miration Society," commonly known as the Press Convention, will assemble at the Sparkling Catawba Springs next Wednes day. - Those of our farmers who have had their wheat threshed report that the yield was far better than anticipated. A very large crop was made in this county and if money is scarce there will be plenty of bread in the land and no famine is ap prehended. Corn is growing rapidly now, and wherever there was a stand the growth is perceptible daily. The Charlotte Observer states that Rev. Edward Eagles, formerly of New Hanover, and pastor of one of the colored BaDtist churches of that place, has been voted Out of tbe pastorate on account of Beecherism. He has also been indicted for the same. The Observer adds: A week ago another colored preacher or exhorter left the city between suns; taking with him the wife of one of the brethren who works at one of the mines near the city, and she taking with her the sum of $55, comprising the entire savings of her husband from tbe first of Jast January.

Corn is small, but' there is a good standi' and tbe crop has plenty of time to grow. Cotton is alsg' small, but is in gopd condition, it being not so easily affected by the dry" weather. Wheat, however, was a poor yield, but the grain is unusually large and - fine, and turns out excellent flour, l -ilH Hobesonian: : Ah. independent candidate is one who has more continence in himself than his neighbors have in him I'm a Jeff ersbnian Democrat, and early and - late.

The earthenware is similar to that I saw in Flo rida. We found numerous sea shells and pieces of charcoal. ' ' Several years since an excavation was made and the parties con eluded that the bodies were cremated with pine wood.. I think that bnly part of the bodies were cremated .

It is not necessary to go into details as to why the hours adopted, from 6 to 9 A M. and 4 to 6J P. M.t are more suitable to the public generally mat matter is plain. The law does not say the books are to be kept open from sunrise to sunset but between sunrise and sunset ' Fair Play does not seem to Know tnat tne pay or a registrar is one cent for every name copied, and three cents for every new name registered. At these figures and with a thirty days! "hack, at the busi ness" registrars, are not. likely to become very wealthy. These hours were fixed in order to allow registrars time to engage in some other business. Under the present law no registrar can get more than twenty two dollars for his thirty days' services, and some will hot make more than fourteen dollars. I trust Fair Play will see the in justice of his remarks, by imagining bim self a registrar. 7 7 7 Reoistbab. HOTEL AKB1VALS. PuBCEii. House Cobb Bros. , Fro'prS.
