Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers; the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and . the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all. (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in Wew York August 18th.) DOCKERY DEFIANT, The position assumed by Oliver H. Dockery in his Wadesboro speech adds another peculiar and interesting feature to the politics of this State ia the present campaign. Mr. Dockery showed his estimate of and contempt for the Republican machine mana gers when he so contemptuously slapped them in the face, spurned their endorsement and defiantly told them he would not accept a nomina tion from a party which had no more regard for its pledges or honor than the Republican party of this State has shown. This puts the bosses to the necessity of taking Mr. Dock ery from their ticket or of support ing him through fear of taking him down ad thus injuring the chances of the head of tfoe ticket, whom they hoped to carry through with the Dockery attachment. t If they permit his name to remain on the ticket then we wift have the incongruous and ludicrous spectacle of the Republican party managers supporting for the, second place on their ticket a man who . openly denounces the head of the ticket as a fraudulent nomi nee, and unworthy of the support of any true, honest Republican. It will present the still further remarkable spectacle of the second man on the ticket advocating the free and un limited coinage of silver and the ; election of the Democratic nominee for President of the United States while the Jiead of the ticket opposes the free and unlimited coinage of stiver and advocates the election of the Republican nominee for Presi dent. Under the circumstances we do not well see how the Republican machine manipulators can find it consistent with harmony in the fold to let Mr. Dockery's uame remain on the ticket, and yet we da not think they will be over anxious to take it down, even if they have the authority to do it without calling another con vention, which they will be afraid to do. Possibly, if they were anxious to remove the man who has thus defiantly jumped on them they might stretch their authority, and take the chances of approval or dis approval, but as the tail is the weightiest part of the gubernatorial combination, they fear the effect of lopping it off and trying the experi ment of putting on another tail. . However Candidate Russell may stand with the white contingent of the party (and he is not over popular with these), there is no doubting his unpopularity with the colored con tingent, many of hom have an absolute aversion to him, which has been intensified by his nomination for Governor, which they in common with many white Republicans, claim was procured by fraud, Mr. Dock ery, on: the contrary, stands well with the white Republicans of the State generally, for he has been a leading and active Republican ever since the party was organized in the State, uod one whose Republicanism was never called into question, as Judge Russell's has been. In addi tion to this he has the cordial follow-, ing ot the colored Republicans, whom he has never rebuffed by rude action or driven from him by "sav age" utterances. Knowing this and to placate him for the trickery cf which he was made the victim in the State Con vention, the machine managers jumped at the opportunity to en dorse him for the Lieutenant Gover norship after he had been nominated by the Populist Convention. :- They hoped thus to bring him to wort in the traces, and carry to the head of the ticket the colored voters who would otherwise not vote tor Rus sell. He saw through their game, understood their motive, and took his own time to let them understand that he saw through it all and didn't propose to let them use him to help elect the man who by methods which he denounces as unfair and dishonest, deprived him of the nomination to which he was entitled, and to help the party which has basely gone back on the pledges made to the people, by virtue of which pledges it won its partial victory two years ago. ' . . But it was the self-respecting, the bold and the manly thing for him to do, and as we see it, it was the po litic thing for him ' to do. Feeling, as he does, and publicly declaring, as he does, that Judge Russell secured the nomination by disreputable methods when the nomination be longed to him he could not with self respect take a subordinate place" on the ticket tendered in the way of a bribe to placate him and close his mouth, and he feels pretty confident of carrying the bulk of the colored vote, which cannot be influenced by the machine manipulators to vote against him after giving him the rec ommendation of an unsolicited en dorsement, and voting for the head of the ticket, to whom they are bit terly opposed. He thus imperils his own chances very little, and made a master stroke to defeat the man whose defeat would be sweeter to him than apricots and cream. That's the way we see it, and under the cir cumstances we feel impelled to pre sent our compliments to Mr. Dockery. MIHOR MENTION. We commented a cohple of days ago on Senator Jeter Pritchard's sudden conversion to gold after having posed a couple of years or more as ah advocate of free silver. Just before the.close of the last ses sion of Congress a free siver address was issued by a number of the free silver Republican members of both Houses of Congress, which address contained the following : Resolved, That we are in favor of res cuing the people of the United States from such impending danger by remov ing tfie differences of exchange between gold standard countries and silver stand ard countries bv the only method pos sibie, which is the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, by the independent action of the United States, and we are in favor of a tariff which shall be sufficient to equalize the cost of Droduetion in the United States and in Europe and in Asiatic countries, and that the protection incident to such tariff shall be equally distributed in every section of the United States, and between the various products and indus tries of each State. This address was ignored by Sen ators Teller, Mantle, Shoup, Wol cott, Mitchell, Cannon, Pettigrew, Dubois, Hansborough, Carter, Per kins, Cameron, J. C. Pritchard and others, all Republicans. Then Sen ator Jeter C. Pritchard declared over his own signature that the free and independent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 was the only hope of prosperity for this country, but now he has the cheek to tell the people who helped elect him to the Senate as a free silver man that he "studied that question after he got intphe St. Louis National Republican Conven tion," and became convinced that free silver won't do. What influence was brought to beaj on Senator Pritchard to bring about such a sud den conversion and turn him into an advocate of the gold standard, and thus make him go back on himself and his constituents, is left for infer ence, because he doesn't tell us; but we again ask what confidence can be placed in the wisdom or sincerity of a man who shows such amazing capacity for sudden change and for swallowing his own professed con victions at the dictates of the Wall street bosses? - About as small and mean an ex hibition of narrow minded proscrip tion as we have yet heard of in this campaign was the refusal of the managers of the public halls in Toledo, Ohio, to rent a hall for Mr. Bryan to speak in to-morrow when he will pass through that city on his way Westward. Not satisfied with this exhibition of proscriptive mean ness they objected to letting him have the use of an open lot in front of a school house and ordered the removal o the stand which had been erected. Would they refuse to hire their halls to Mr. McKinley or to let him have the use of an open lot? Are the men who are running McKinley's campaign: and the so called "sound money" campaign afraid to have Mr. Bryan come into Mr. McKinley's State to make speeches, and do they think they can strangle the free silver move ment by such contemptible methods as this? The money changers- may own the halls in that - city and they may own the . people who have charge of that school lot, but they do not own the people of Tol edo, and we venture to say that this effort to proscribe Mr. Bryan, not on account of himseif but on account of the cause he so ably represents, will prove a boomerang and that he will have when he speais there one of I the most coxdial receptions and largest audiences that have greeted him in a tour remarkable for cor dial greetings and large audiences. The Toledo proscribes overdid the business. :':'"':f ... Bishop Potter, of New York, who spent a portion of the Summer in Europe, shortened his vacation to return to perform the ceremony of marrying young Mr. Whitney to young Miss Vanderbilt. On his re turn some one askrd his views as to the sentiment in England on the question of the free coinage of silver by this country, when he replied : During my stay abroad I bad a con versation with a very distinguished member of the late Liberal Government, and he expressed a very hopeful opinion that the people ot this country wonld not adopt the theories of the free silver partv. I saw one or two members of the Conservative ministry, also, and they were equally emphatic in their idea that the gold standard would continue to be the basis of the United States currency. The question might naturally be asked why are these English gentle men so anxious that the gold standard be maintained by this country ? Isn't it because they think it will be better for England ? If they thought it would be better for this country than for England would they desire to have it perpetuated, and isn't it because they think it will be better for England than for this country that they desire to have it perpetu ated ? English statesmen know they have a good thing while they can make this country their tribute bearer, and that's why they want to continue the English gold standard in this, country. CURRENT COMMENT.

"Between starvation wages on one side and exorbitant prices for food and clothing on the other." says a New York paper, "the working man is a helpless victim of the upper and nether mill stones." But how when he produces cheap food and has to pay high tariff prices for clothes and everything else? That is the question with several million workingmen in this campaign, and it requires answer. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. When people have not the the money to pay low prices, it is a poor class of statesmanship that pro poses to bring better times by rais ing the tariff, so that the manufac turers and merchants can charge higher prices. What good will a higher tariff and higher prices do if the people have not the money with which to buy ? Augusta Chronicle, Dem. TWINKLINGS.

A very curious worm was oa exhibi tion at Blacknall's drug store to-day. It is about six Inches long, and is a formidacle looking worm, too. It is green in color, has something resem bling horns about the head and on the body. A. A. Sears found the worm in the country, feeding on the leaves of a persimmon tree and brought it to town. Dr. J. A. Smith told a reporter that it had an unusu ally long name, but. he couldn't ex actly recall it. This ind of worm, he says, turns into a beautiful but terfly. Raleigh News and Observer'. Dr. J. J. Mott, chairman of the Na tional Executive Committee of the "Siver Party," was here again yester day. "The gold standard paople are making a desperate fight for Mo Kinley in this State," he said, "and they are going to put up a strong campaign. It would be suicidal for the friends of silver who are In" so overwhelming a majority in the State to so divide their forces as to allow McKinley to secure the electoral vote of this State. The silver men see that tbe gold standard men are calculating on a division of the silver vote, and they know that they must get together. I believe that it will all be arranged in the next few days, say within two weeks. Mc Kinley will hardly be allowed to take ott the electoral vote of North Carolina. Sheriff Page yester day afternoon received a telephone message from Berry O'Kelley, the Method colored merchant, informing mm mat a colored woman had been murdered at Cook's Mill, in House's Creek township. Later he received a letter from Robert Horton, who Jives in the neighborhood, saying that Mehaly White, a colored woman living near Cook's Mill, had been murdered by a negro named Tim Booker, who also goes under the alias of Jim Chavis. He added that the body "was lying just where it fell."' As soon as the murder was committed Booker ran off through tne wooas. Charlotte News : Mr W . H McCorkle, of Sharon township, is a man wno is notea lor his strength, and he had an experience yesterday that brought it out to its utmost. In fact, he never before had so severe a test. He started to the barn yester day morning with bis daughter, Miss Alice, wno is aoout j.8 years old. She bad the milk pail and her errand was to milk the cow. She was a few feet in front of her father when she opened the barn door, and as she did so, the cow made a mad rush at her. I he cow knocked the young lady down and then pinned her to the ground. The waist of the young lady was between the boms of the enraged animal and the tips of the horns were buried in the ground. Mr. McCorkle was hor rified. He thought the horns had penetrated the body of his daughter. He had no weapon and none was convenient, but rushing up he caught the cow by tbe horns and so great was the exercise of his strength that he threw the animal to one .side and she struck the ground and rolled over. Miss Alice jumped up and es caped. Regaining her feet the cow made a rush at Mr. McCorkle Still having no weapon, he struck her on her nose with his fist, knocking her down. He had backed away, and wnen sne came at mm again be bad secured a Diece of olank and with this he dealt her a smashing blow over tne nead, bnngtng her to her knees. As he escaped through the gate and closed it she made a rush and splintered the gate. The young lady's escape was remarkable. On either side of her dress a large hole was torn and her skin was grazed by the horns of the cow. She owes her life to her father's wonderful strength. Women who are weak and nervous, who have no appetite and cmnot sleep, find strength and vigor in Hood's Sar saparilla. f The Mosque of tferbela. In plan the mosque is almost a per fect square and covers a considerable area. The four outer walla face the car dinal points and have seven gateways one to the south and two on each of the other sides. The names of the gates are : South, Bab el Kibl; east, Kathi el fiagat and es Safl; west, el Zeneb and es Sultani, and north, es Soddar and Sahna el Sirir. Within the outer inolo sure is a wide paved courtyard, then a second 'wall with seven gates, and hand some minarets surmount the southern angles. Another courtyard follows, on the 'western side of which are three holy spots the place where Husain fell, the tomb of his child, Said Ibrahim, and the tomb of his banner bearer, Habib ibn Mazakir. The third inclosure wall has five gates, and within it is the tomb of the 70 warriors who fell with Husain and the supposed birthplace of Jesus, Lastly, in an open space, stands the holy of holies the great domed mausoleum of Husain Shah, the sole entrance to which is by the Bab el Murael, or Gate of Hope. Within are two tombs, that of Imam Husain and of his two sons, Ali Akhbar and Ali Azrar. The dome is a magnifi cent and costly work of art, being tiled with slabs of pure gold and inlaid with Koranic inscriptions and other designs in various colored enamel. When we saw it, however, its beauty was partly concealed by a black drapery, on whioh was embroidered a verse from the, Mo hammedan Bible, while at its summit floated the black flag of . mourning in honor of the martyr.

The South Water street expert in that line paused in his work long enough to tell a different story. "Egg candling," he said, "is no fool job, and only the man who has been at it a long time can make good money. It requires keen sight and a praotical eye and just about one man out of ten is good at the business. You've got to have a steady hand, too, and the man who drinks much can't candle eggs very long. The breakage would soon take all the profit off every orate of eggs. In New York they have an egg oandlers' or egg testers' union and one of its rules is that no man who drinks steadily can be admitted. It is composed mostly of east side Hebrews and is very old, one of the oldest labor organizations in New York. Men ia our business who are real ly first olasS get good wages. You can . always tell a good man by the light, easy way he touches an egg. He can tell an egg that is addled at a glance, where even people quite familiar with the article will say it is in first class condition."
