J. BOYLIN, Editor and Owner. Populists Disbanding. The Jackson, Mis.,1 correepon dent of the MemphU Commercial Appeal, under date ot June 13th, writes : . 41The Quitman Qnill announces that the executive committee of the Populist party, at itd recent meet- ins it. lalobnsha county, nnani niously agreed, by a series of reso lutions to that effect, to discontinue their organization as a party and unite themselves with the true Democracy. This was brought about mainly by the wise and lib eral action of the Democracy of the county in opening the way by ex tending the- right to vote in the primaries to all who would agree to vote for the nominees in the "ener al election. It was a wise and con servative course on the part of the Democracy of that county and their action is to oe commended by all who have the interests of the party and the good of the ! country at heart." . f There is no need for a Populist party for honest men who really want financial reform. It is a good thing for office 6eekers, who use i8 membership to pull chestnuts out of the fire for their personal advan tage. In Mississippi, I where- the Populists "prefer reform to office," seeing that jsupport of Populism tends to Republican rnle, those who joined it a few years ago are! dis banding their organization and le turning to the Democratic fold. There is 110 other course open to them if they desire to preserve good home government and secure just financial laws. I The action in Mississippi is but a few months in advance of what the honest Populists in North Carolina wih take. Up to. this i timo they have blindly followed a corrupt cabal, and been used to degrade their State and to put Republican gold bugs and incompetents into office. Those who are in the Populist party lor oflice will stay and continue to d cker with the Republicans and the trusts for personal aggrandizement, but the rank and file will be found again under the banner of srood government in the Democratic party. j In North Carolina,' as in Missis sippi, the door is wide open and a warm welcome waits all who want to'quit chasing bntterllies and being used as tools by08elf-seekingscliein-ers, Republicans and trusts. Ral eigh News Sc Observer.' ! j - j This Farmer Ploughs in the Shade. Mr. George D. Orr, of Cincin natti, who is at the Louisville IIo rol, said yesterday: "Though it's said there is nothing new under the tun, it seems that in my rounds ov ;r the country I am continually meeting with something newi Last Saturday I was coming down from Cleveland over the IJig Four, and, while glancirig out of the window, I saw a plough that was certainly a curiosity to me. Originally it had been a common plough, but the fertile genius of some fanner had been at work upon it. He had at tached an upright frame to the plotighbeam, and had covered the top of this with a fancy colored cloth. The covering extended far enough back to allow him to walk under it and be completely pro tected from the rays ot the tun." Louisville Courier-Journal. Liable to Indictment. The State Treasurer has dtcided that the special tax, levied by-Section 31 and 3S of the llevenue 'Act, ia in foree from and after its ratifi cation, and that all boarding house and hotel keepers, doctors, lawyers, and dentists who have not paid the tax of 50 cents a room and the $10 license are liable to indictment for doing business without obtaining license. This is a far reaching decision, and those interested would do well to pay up at once or they may find themselves in a bad predicament. It is their duty to pay this new tax to the sheriff of their respective coun ties, and obtain their license. It is a monstrous law, the product of fusion, but this in an era of re form, we may remark in passing. - A Household Treasure. I). W. 'Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. V., eays that he al'vays kepe lr.

Pgr Heals" THii GRESHAM AND BOB LINCOLN. How He Knocked Qui Old Abe's Boy. Eugene Field tells the following in me meago itecord: Both Walter Q. Gresham and Robert T. Lincoln were members of President Arthur's cabinet: wunin tne last ten years both have been mentioned with more or less frequency and with more or less sincerity as possible presidential candidates; the fact that both hailed from the West has made it natural that the mention of one should snggest the other. Yet it would be hard to find two men more differ ent in every trait and characteris tic. An illustration of the differ ence between these two is afforded in an incident which is recalled by the death of Jndge Gresham. At the time of President Arthur's death a number of Chicago people went to iSew lork to attend the funeral, and aracng this number were Judge Gresham and Mr. Lin coln. Upon the journey eastward several of the parly fell to discuss ing a certain questionable measure which was at that time before the Illinois Legislature at Springfield, and in the course of the discussion surprise and regret were expressed by one or another of the party that Lawyer , of Chicago, had gone to Springfield and joined the lobby in advocacy ot the questionable measure referred to. Thereupon there ensued an argument aa to the propriety of au attorney's serving a client without regard to the justice or the dishonesty of that client's cause. Mr. Lincoln took up the cudgel quite briskly in defense of the proposition that a lawyer, to long as he was paid for his servi ces, was justified in advocating an unrighteous cause; with reference to the particular affair at Springfield Mr. Lincolu saw no wrong in the part played by the attorney therein, since the attorney represented the interests of a. corporation for pay and was wholly justified in so do ing, even tlnugh the cause which he advocated was prejudicial to the interests of the public. Judge Gresham sat in the seat just ahead of the party engaged in this diecufsion, and it was observed that he grew restless under the ar gument made by Lincoln. Finally he turned about in his seat and fac ing Lincolu hesaid sternly: "Young man, I knew your father well and loved him dearly. He never, would have expressed the senti ments I. have just heard you ex press, and I am shocked to know that it is Abraham Lincoln's son who has advocated that which, if generally approved and practiced. would speedily result m the demor alization of publie and private morals. Whatever your sentiments upon this subject may be I advise you, when tempted hereafter to ut ter them, to remember that you are Abraham Lincoln s son and to keep silent." Mr. Lincoln made no answer to this reproof, but the scene was one which none of the many others who witnessed it has ever forgotten. We know of no other incident il lustrating more clearly that high and iealous moral principle which shone conspicuously forth in Judge Gresham t character and served us his rule of thought and action, both in public and in private life. A JEW TO BE A BAPTIST MINISTER. S. K. Brown, Whose Father is a Rabbi, Will Preach Christianity. A Iiaotist Council held in the First Daptist church, the largest in this citv. has voted unanimously to ordain as a Raptist pastor the son ... -w . . ! of a Hebrew ltabbi, and the ordi- .i nation services will be held in tne "irst church next Monday night, vs the New York Herald. The man who will thus become a Bap tist preacher is S. K. Urown. His father is the raoo: 01 a large con-o-reo-ation in Auctria, where the son was born. The latter came to this country several years ago, and was converted to Christianity in Millville, this State. I To at once turned his attention to mission work among the Jews. He has labored in Pateison Junc tion, Camden and other places in this State and I'ennsyivania, win rung many Jews to Christianity, and all the time engaged in mercantile pursuits. In his examination be fore the Council ho showed a mar velous knowledge of the Bible. He declared during his doctrinal examination that he believed the secoi.d coming of Christ to be near, nd that the Jews would return to ho lard o-iven to their fathers in about thirty years. Ho quoted Scripture to sustain his views. He is proud of the fact that he was born a Jew, but is prouder, he t ays, to be called a Christian jew. rie ad siinnosed UD to the time 01 reading the New Testament that Jesus Christ taught his fol.'owere to hate and persecute the dews.

C A Reminiscence of the Vance Settle Cam paign. Senator Don Cameron is devel oping a nice little boomlet for the Ivepnblican nomination for presi dent, lie straddles, lie is a high protective man in the East and a free silverite in the Wet. This reminds us, somehow, of the fa rnous campaign between Vance and fcettle in flie gubernatorial cam paign of 187C. Wo heard these two giants talk back at one another at 1 ittsboro. In the course of Settle's speech he charged Vance with a little double-dealing on the negro question. His words were smoother than oil to the negro in the East, where the colored man and brother predominated, but in the West, where there were bat tew ot him, he was hard down on him. "In fact, my friends," said Mr. Settle, "it has got to such a pass that whenever the wind blows from the East you can always smell the nigger on Vance." This, of course, brought out a hearty laugh at our Zeb's expense in which the Governor himself joined with perfect good nature. But in his reply "My friends," Baid Mr. Vance, "my honarable competitor has charged me with straddling on the negro question and has even cone so far as to assert that 'when the wind blows from the East you can always smell the nigger on ance; but, my fiiende, yoi can smell the nigger on him in a dead calm." Wilmington Review. A Flying Bicycle. Such a thing as a flying bicycle has been really constructed by Os car F. Lewis, of Saratoga, N. Y., from which he expects great things. Mr. Lewis is a market gardener and something of an amateur ma chinist. Several years ago he bo came interested in the subject of air-ships and flying machines. He made several models that were un satisfactory. He finally hit on his present model, and constructed an air-ship rather than a flying ma chine. It is to be made to rise by means of a silk balloon of pillow shape and designed to hold 3,000 cubic feet of gas. . The balloon is about 50 feet loner. Suspended from it is an aluminum frame in which is 6et a bicycle. The wheels of the machine are worked by ped als and are connected by belts with two propellers, one in front and the other behiud. The steering apparatus consists of a sail stretched on a frame 15 feet long and 4 feet wide. It is moved by the handle bar of the bicycle and may be turned to an angle of 45 degrees. Mr. Lewis claims that he can turn his machine around in the space of 100 feet Equare. There is a' regu lator on the balloon by which he can grade his elevation. Judging from the size of the balloon the machine ought to go up in the air after. the cas is once in it. Mr. Lewis eays he can drive it 15 miles an hour. Philadelphia Record. Told by Fitz Lee. Fitzhuch Lee doesn't mind tell- inrr a 6torv even if it is on him. At the close of the war he was at the head of the cavalry, and these were much envied by the infantry men, who had to walk through the mud and dust. After Gen. Robert F. Lee had surrendered Gen. Fitz hngh Lee rode away from Appo mattox. While riding through a lane he met an old North Carolina soldier. "Ho, there!" cried Gen. Lee, "where are yon going?" "I've been off on a furlough, and am now coiner back to ioin Gen. Bob Lee," replied the old soldier. 'You needn't iro back, but can throw your gun away and return home, for Lee's surrendered." "Lee s surrendered f "That's what I said " said Gen. Lee. "It must have been that damned Fitz Lee. then. Bob Lee would never surrender," and the soldier put on a look of contempt and walked on.

THURSDAY. JUNE LEE'S APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON. The Sun Calls it One of the Most Heroic Acts of a Life Full of Heroism. Thirty years ago today (ten. Robert Edward Lee, the great sol dier of tho Confederacy, never greater than in the hourol the fail ure of his cause, wrote to President Johnson a letter applying for the benefits of amnesty and restoration to his civil rights as a citizr n of tho United States. Johnson's proclamation of gen eral amnesty had been issued on May 20. Sixteen classes of per sons were specifically excluded. Leo was excluded not only because he was a West Pointer and had been a military officer of tho Con federate government ranking high er than colonel, but also because he belonged to the thirteenth class ex cepted, namely those persons who uaa voluntarily participated in lue rebellion, and the valuo of whoso taxable property was over $20,000. The amnesty proclamation of May 29, 1S65, provided, however, that special application for pardon might bo made by any person be longing to tho class excepted: and Gen. Leo therefore wrote the sub joined letter: "Richmoud, VP., Juno 13, 15C5. "Ilia Excellency, Axprew John son, "President of the United States. "Sib: Being excluded from the provisions of amnesty contained in the proclamation of the 20th nit., 1 hereby apply for tho benefits, and full restoration of all rights and privileges, extended to tnoeo in cluded in its terms.

George Washington Custis Lcc, the eldest son of the great Confederate com mander; and Gen. G. V . C. Leo adds this bichly interesting histori cal noto concerning his father's motives in making 6o prompt an application to President Johnson for amnesty: "When Gen. Lee requested mo to make a copy of this letter to President Johnson, ho remarked: It is but right for him to set an ex ample of making formal submission to the civil authorities; and that he thought, by so doing, he might possibly be in a better position to be of use to tho Confederates who were not protected by military pa roles; especially Mr. Davis. -'W. W. C. Lee." In laying today before our read ers and the public Gen. Robert E. Lee s application for pardon, and his own declaration of the motives Prompting him to ono of tho most croic acts of a life full of heroism, the Sun feels that it is adding lustre to a noble fame which is constantly growing as tho years pass, and which is justly appreciated and generously prized in the North, as wen as in me oouin. . i. ouii June 13. PRECIOUS LIONS, THESE. They are Literally Worth Their Weight in Gold. In front of the Imperial Palace at Peking, two massive statues of lions of supernatural size, made entirely of solid gold, have been standing 6inco times immemorial. When tho combined English and French armies advanced upon Peking in 1SG0 the Chinese painted theso 6tatues gray, so that the Europeans took them tor bronze and left them alone. When recently the Japanese threatened an invasion of the sacred precincts of China's capital, both ions were taken from their pedes tals and hurriedly secreted.

The First Locomotive Engineer. la this day of railroads and in this country which has more miles of railroad than all the rest of tho world it is hard to realize that only a few days ago the man died w"ho held the throttle of tho first steam locomotive on its first trip. Ralph Svrinburn was the man and ho died only last week in his ninety-first year at his home near Charleston, est lrgini. Swm- bnrji was born at Newcastle-on tho Tyne in January, 1S05, tho son of a miner and a fellow-workman of George Stevenson, the inventor of the locomotive. hen Stevenson left the mino and set up the shop in which ho perfected the locomotive he took yoang Swinbarn with him as an apprentice and tho latter saw the efforts which led to tho first lo comotive. On tho trial trip of the machine that was to revolutionize the com merce ot tho world, Young Swin barn sat in the cab with Stevenson, held the throttle and helped tho great inventor throughout the en tito experiment. Uo said not long before his death: "It was tho proudest day of my life, for I felt that we were inaugurating an in dustrial revolution. Swinburn, like Stevenson, was a man of rare mod esty and never boasted of his con nection with tho history of tho loco motive. It was hard to draw him out on that subject and ho never spoke of it except as an ordinary performance ot duty. . He came to this country in 1S50, landed in New Orleans and soon afterwards moved to Richmond, Va., where lie was emplojejl in the construction of tho Virginia Cen tral railroad, which afterwards bo came tho main lino of tho Chesa peake and Ohio system. He was an active railroad man until twenty- uvo years ago when he went to farming, and about the samo timo he became a Batpist preacher. lie uvea mucu longertnan he expected, for he said when ho left railroad work that he knew he would soon "rust out." He was a model citi zen and died with tho respect and esteem of all who knew him. Tho death of this rood old man in the midst of our hurly-burly rail road age shows how fast things have moved since Geoigo Steven son and Ralph Swinburn ran the first locomative over built. EATING POISONED HONEY. It is Supposed the Bees Gather it From the Mountain Laurel. Taylorsville, June IS. News reaches here from tho upper portion of the county that a number of per sons have been seriously poisoned by eating honey. It is supposed that tho poisonous honey is collect ed from what the natives call moun tain ivy, or laurel. A portion of it will bo sent to the State chemist for analysis. This unheard of occur rence has caused some alarm among honey raisers, and can only be ac counted for on the grounds that tho old black bco has been replaced by the Italian bee, and that tho latter can collect tho honey from this poisonons nower, wnicn tno ordi nary bee could not. At any rate, tho matter is right serious. A New Scheme for Revenue. Charlotte News: It is a pretty good scheme Charlotte is working on the dogs, this year. It is a scheme for r.venuo only. Hereto fore, doers without a tax paid tag were killed. A good many canine lives were saved and tax evaded by the owners keeping the dogs bed np. Killing dogs is not tho object this year. The sanitary police, who know every house in Charlotte, knows also every dog. When they find a dosr not taxpaid, they do not kill the dog. They require the owner to take out a tax paid tag, or appear before tho mayor and bo fined, lhis law is working finely and more dorr tatrs are beincr sold than ever before heard of in Charlotte. Big Deal at Greensboro. The Greensboro correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer says: A party of Northern capital- lsts nave ciosca a aeai wnn me Greensboro Steel and Iron Compa ny for 1,500 acres of land at $40,- 000 cash. The terms of tho deal nre that the buyers shall erect within onoyear,oneor more cotton factories to cost not less than $250, 000. Mr. Moses Cone, of New York. is one of the leading men in the purchase. Mr. Cono expects to erect later other cotton factories to coet in the neighborhood of a mil lion dollars, - . . While storming the first lino ot forts at Port Arthur a soldier bo longing to the Twenty-fourth Reg imejit raised his rifle to fire at an unusually conspicuous Chinaman. Just as he was about to fire, a bul let from the enemies' side came whizzing on, and, marvelous to re late, entered the barrel of his own gun as smoothly and neatly as it the muzzles had" been placed mouth to mouth. Ot course there was an explosion, and the soldier's piece was shattered to the stock, but without his receiving any injuries whatever. A fractional variation to the right or left would have caused tho hostile bullet to enter his head or face, so that his escape was nothing short ot miraculous. He preserved the stock of tho now useless weapon, and afterward ex hibited it to his colonel, who per mitted him to keep it as a memento of his narrow escape. - Japan Mail.
