With a Democratic vote of nearly
1,800, Wilson county gave 300 votes
in favor of prohibition. This does
not look much like a Republican vic
tory. Gen. Robert Lowry, nominated for
Governor of Mississippi by the Dem
ocrats, ia a lawyer, an ex-Con federate
or "Rebel Brigadier" and it" fifty five
year old.
Major Daniel was to hsye met Col.
Cameron at Henry Court House on

The Albany (N. Y.) trprtss, a
Republican paper, says the Republi
can masses of that State are de
spondent as to the success of the
party in the fall. The Democrat
will be united, it is believed, whilst
the Republicans will be divided. So
be it.
Sorno of the papers have made a
mistake as to the last Bishop Haven
who died recently. It was not Bisbop
Gil Haven, who died a year ago or
more, a Radical politician who hated
the South ; but it was Bishop Erastus
O. Haven, a very different kind ot a
man.
Tbe President has net been' so well

The Louisville Courier-Journal
thinks Judge Black's reply to Inger

I Charlotte Observer: All the
precincts in tbe county except Steel Creek
expect to make from one-half to two-thirds
bf a crop. Steel Creek is hopeless. Tbe
most remarkable fact about this most re
markable drought ia that the few rains that
have come have not been general, hut con
fined to small areas. Tbe amount of
bullion assays for July, at tbe Charlotte
assay office, was $7,883 50. The elec
tion of Thursday was not a triumph for in
temperance. It was, it is true, a set back
to prohibition, but the majority of those
Ebo enlisted under that banner were fight
g for reform, and they bave enlisted for
tbe war. "You better go home and
tendtoyer wife what's a layin' out on a
board and hasn't been buried in three days,''
said a dry colored voter to a wet colored
voter who was throwing up bis hat last
Thursday evening. "Never you mind,"
replied the wet voter, "I've bin a savin' my
liberty to-day. I'm gwine to bury her to

Death of Mr. Cl&ealev C. Bllanar.
i One of the saddest deaths that has oc
curred in Wilmington in- some time was
that of Mr. Chesley Calhoun Bellamay,
which took place at the residence .of his
lather, Dr. J. D. Bellamy, in this city, on
Sunday morning last, the 7iu lost. He
had been sick but a few dys with billions
lever, which was complicated by conges
tion of the brain, and despite the most
careful nursing and the best of medical
skill, death ensued and pet an end to bis
great pain and suffering.
Mr. Bellamy was aged onty 21 jears and
10 months, and hadjbut recently come home
from college to spend a well earned vaca
tion among his family and friends, full of
youth and hope, and with the promise of a
long and useful life before him. For sev
eral years past bo has been away from
home, first at school and latterly at David
son College, the senior class of which he
would have entered next year. Hia popu
larity among his classmates was marked,
and he had been the recipient of many
college honors, indicative of the esteem in
which be was held and attesting the high,
regard of bis fellow students. His death
just as he was about to enter upon the
threshold of life, is a peculiarly, aad one,
and a terrible blow to a loving father and
mother, sisters and brothers, as well s jj
