" , 1 f The Republican oandidate for the suffrages of the people . of North Carolina, Col. Dookery, has s record, and neither he nor his henohemn nor his organs can blot it out. No doubt he would be glad to get rid of some portions of his ugly and repellant record, but it remains stamped In in effaceable colors. His record as to the Special Tax bonds is too plain to be misunderstood, and too damaging to be approved or admired. What w that record? -1. ." ' 1 11 The Raleigh political papers are shoving it up and we avail ourselves of what is brought out that writers like the anonymous ignoramus sign ing himself "Truth," may not be able to charge with "Truth" that the Stab slanders Col. Dookery. He voted m the State Constitutional Convention every time opportunity, offered to fasten the Special Tax bonds upon the people. ' On October 4, 1875, an ordinance to repudiate these bonds came up. Finally, upon a motion of Mr. Jams to take away all power to pay these bonds from the Legislature, Dookery voted against it. To be partioular, now quoting from the proceedings as copied from the Journal of the Con vention in the Raleigh Netos- Ob server: j I "Mr. Young moved to lay the whole mat ter on the table.

His corrupt uarty bad made these very bonds their choice, . their favorite bonds by special enactment. Dockery is always! in f nil sympathy with his party. He : has been so for twenty - odd years. He glories in being so in this' year 1 1888. It is not hard to ; believe that Dockery now favors their payment. When has he said otherwise ? When has' he shown that j he in to repented of his 1875 votes that the true in- i. people? We have at heart he favors foolish J votes were hostile terests of the no doubt that their payment, jani that he will re joice if Bond's decision holds, good. We have no idea that the old politi cian has shed his skin or repented of his sins againsi the white people of North Carolina. He glories now in being the leader of "the nigger party." DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED ' PREACHER ', i j ! ' Kev. Dr. Robert S. Moran, whose death was briefly j mentioned y ester day,was ot Irish parentage and birth. He came to this country when young and was educated at I the Methodist School of . the Prophets at Middle- town, Connecticut.!

Southern Church. came a prominent the devil of intolerance and persecu tion is still at work among the ne groes. It is from the New York Times, which publishes the subjoined dispatch: : V, : "Chablbston, West Va, September 18 When the independent colored men of the Bute met in Convention here last week and placed a State ticket in the field, and endorsed Cleveland and Thurman, there were predictions of trouble for those lead ing the revolt against the Republicans. The prophecy seems ia a fair way to be fulfilled. E A, Turner, the colored can didate for State Auditor, has been teaching school up at' Wellsburg, Brooke county. An attempt to have him resign the nomina tion having failed, the Republican man agers have by pleading and threats stampe ded his scholars so that only four remain.

Men of both races are entitled to a free ex pression of opinion and a free ballot. Race persecutions should stop. Vio lators of law should be severely pun ished. In the North the Bosses carry out their plans differently. Repub lican Monopolists simply inform their employes that it they vote against their interests then the shops or furnaces or factories will be closed. Or, men are paid off and quietly dis missed. . This is the worst kind of intimidation, for it brings famine to the door.

JHe promises that he "will give due otice and let all the young men ave an equal chance." Thirty-four days after this letter was written he gave his own son the appointment. v There was no examination or notice . given as promised. John will have lard work to get rid of that little ; oie.

J Mark tnai. j . j Now what would the payment these bonds entail upon the 'people it the faupreme Court of the United States was to affirm the decision of (Jeffries Bond? I We have seen larcro 'estimates of what the debt! would amount to, principal and interest, and they were several tens of mil lions. The Raleigh Chronicle dis cusses these bonds at much length. We copy what j it Bays of what the payment ofahese bonds means i'to the people. It says: He at onoe be- fiffure in that re ligious body, and in a few years his fame as a preacher went throughout the State. He logian, one of was a thorough theo- ithe ablest we ever knew. He was a fine oritioal scholar and a close student. He was endowed with noble natural: powers which had ! been steadily and systematical! v trained and developed. - He had a style of composition that was emi nently literary.! He had an imagin ation that was almost splendid at times, and a logical faculty of ex ceeding fulness and. acuteness. He was eminently ! a thinker, and yet, rarest combination, he was eminently a rhetorician. He had a rich, full, sonorus voice, and he commanded his powers with readiness. When at his very best.he was : a great 'preacher. About 1874 or 187$ we heard him preach i a sermon1 in the Baptist Church at Raleigh (the last we ever heard him deliver) that was superla tive in its excellence. It was one of the nine or tea truly great sermons we have heard in our sixty years. It wa9 majestic in the sweep of thought, wonderfully felicitous in a noble dm tion, and was delivered with an ardor and energy that was! thoroughly cap tivating. I ' Dr. Moran was one of the most conscientious, upright, independent We hear truokers complain of dis honest dealers in the Northern cities. The truckers are often robbed by rascally produce dealers. The Phil adelphia Record' tells of the expe rience of a Delaware fruit grower, Byron Salisberry. He sold a car load of his luscious fruit and got in payment preoisely one two-cents pos tage Btamp. He sent his fruit to market. It came at a time when the market was glutted. He followed his fruit, called to see the dealer.who took him put to dinner, and after ja drink the following occurred: "After a few minutes conversation the merchant handed the grower a 2-cent post age stamp and asked for a receipt. I j "What's this for t ' gasped the Dela warean. i "That's your share of the profits," bland ly returned the commission merchant. "You're In luck, old man." Then he handed Mr. Byron Salesberry a slip that read like this: For harvesting crop, baskets. crates, etc 481 23 Freight, etc , hauling 869 09 Commissions 272 10 .$1,122 43 . 1,123 40 men we have known. He had great courage and manliness that were yery praiseworth and engaging. He was not afraid to think as he pleased and to say what be thought. He was ut terly incapable 'of a small act, and he held ia love thoao iwh'o were manly and open and honorable. We knew hjim well indeed, inti mately. He was the most intellect ual Methodist minister we have ever known personally! and one of the no blest. Rev.

' . : j . : The New York Cotton Exchange has sent out the official statement of the cotton crop of the United States for the season of 1887-'88, as made up by A. B. Shepperson, statistician of the Exchange. '..; '.-,;. ' j ; The statement makes the crop the -largest ever grown in this country; Aggregating 7,046,833 bales, being '627,248 bales larger than the previous crop, and exceeding the great crop of 1882-'83 by 96,000 bales, j It shows several interesting facts; first, that vuAitro.rjr iru tue opinion wmca pre-r "VaA 1 tH oftrlv 4n .Vi a oaooati ovaJ age weight of the bales turns out to be Si pounds heavier than last sea son; the total receipts at the ports were 4,612,448 bales; the total net overland shipments to Northern mills and Canada were 1,001,261 bales, and the takings by Southern mills from the interior amounted to 433,4 124 bales. j Tne statistics of Southern ; con sumption are from reports received direct from the mills, and based upon complete returns from fully 98 per cent, of the Southern spindles.

Pino 9traw Baccinc j The pine straw bagging for cover ing cotton manufactured by the Acme' Company of this city meets with faf vor everywhere. In Savannah, where it was tested the other day, cotton factors were much pleased with it. The iveto of that city says it solves the question of a substitute for jute in the opinion of many, and adds: I Its color is about the only objec tion to it, so far as has been learned, red ink not showing to very good ad- uu it. 11 is stronger man lute bagging, and is said to Dossess every desirable quality of jute bag- gui. ju nas Deen siacea, tne larmer may sell the jute bagging on a bale of cotton at a profit of 36 , cents, even when he pays 14 cents a yard for it. Now, it would require the same nnm- ber of TATila nf nlna if na ntn " - v " - f w w maj ww no w jura bagging to cover a bale that is, six yards. The pine straw bagging, it is said, would cost about 6 cents a yard, or 36 cents for enough to cover a bale.
