It.. was- our pleasure td attend
the closing exercises of Mr. J. G.
Joyner's school at Pendleton last
Friday. What we saw and heard
of the school impressed us very
favorably. Mr. Joyner, notwith
standing he is only three miles
from Conway School which has a
high reputation, lias succeeded in
building up a large and successful
school. All the people of the vi
cinity seem interested and where
this is tho case it shows that the
teacher discharges his duty faith
fully. The literary address was
delivered by llcv. Mr. Saunders, of
Murfreesboro, and - was much err
Jcryect by the writer.. Wo want
' tb hear him again.; B. B. tiny,
Esq., and Hoy. G. W. Scaiboro,
who is always ieady to help along
a good cause, mado short, excel
lent addresses."'.'' -
We have heard some criticisms
on tho part of tho Administration
Democrats of the authorities of
the penitentiary for allowing some
of the guards (voters of this coun
ty at the State farms to take part
in the primary election last Sat
urday afternoon, and we have also
heard somo criticisms on the part
of tho regular or piatforin Demo
crats of the Federal office holders
from Washington: and elsewhere
coining to this county. and. remain
ing several days before the prima
ry working in tho interest of the
Administration. For our part we
concede to both the right to a
reasonable time to attend the-primaries
and believe it to be the
duty of all voters to attend the
primary elections of tho party to
which they belong. The govern
ment of all Republics is by party
and tho individual members of a
party should have and exercise
the right to select the officers, and
the primary is the channel through
which individual preferences can
best be expressed.
WAIT TILL JULY 27.
We have chartered a train
of first class cars, and on
Friday, July 27th, next, we
will run one of the best and
most enjoyable Excursions of
the season from Lewiston.

1 THE "PRIMARIES.
GREAT IN'TEI'.EST 3IANIFESTED THE
TLATFORU DEMOCRATS WIN
BY 40 TO 1G.
The- Democratic primaries for
electing delegates to the county
Democratic convention to be held at
Jackson next Monday were held in
every voting pre2inct in Northamp
ton last Saturday and in most of the
precincts great interest was mani
fested. Strange as it may sound,
there was tmt little contest over lo
cal officers, -and State issues were
entirely ignored. The contest was
between the Cleveland or Adminis
tration Democrats on one side an'!
the regular or platform Democrats
on the other.
The regulnr or platform Democrats
did not seem to be at work until a
few days before the election, when
they discovered that the Cleveland
men were waking a thorough can
vass of the county in the interest of
endorsing the National Adniinistra
tion at the coming county conven
tion. The result of the election was
an overwhelming defeat for the ad
ministration, the platform Democrats
securing 40 delegates to 12 for the
Administration with 4 doubtful or
at most 4! to 16.
At some precincts every Demo
cratic voter was brought out. At
Jaikson the vote was taken by bal
lot and tellers were appointed and
those of doubtful Democracy were
challenged.
In East Roanoke there was a large
crowd out and the house in which
Hie meeting was held would not hold
all the people ; a vote disclosed the
fact that every one present was a
platform Democrat. In Occoneechee
the contest was sharp, and for the
sake of harmony and good feeling
the delegation was divided, each side
taking two delegates. A division
was made at o'her precincts. .

orates elected with' the exception of
.Upper Gaston, with one! delegate
which has not been beard from :

Mrs. Sallie Copelaml was taken
violently ill on last Thursday even

a part. , '
Mrs. Bettie Uarrtes and her laujh
tcr. Miss Mary, attended the com
mencement at Roberts Chapel last
Frida3'. They said the exercises
were very good and reflected great
credit upon both the teachers and
students.
Rev. William Grant occupied the
pulpit hereon last Sabbath, it being
his regular appointment for the
month. The audience was not as
large as usual probably on account
of there being other meetings in the
neighborhood.
Mrs. K. 1'. Bryan left here on last
Thursday to make a visit to her sis
ter Mrs. Tennille near Rehohoth.
From there she "expects to go to the
Panacea Springs. We wish her a
pleasant trip and that she may re
turn with her health much improved.
There is much regret expressed
that there is not more interest taken
in the Sabbath school here. The'
.children all talk about it and i?d. but
some of Ihfe parent- are verj indillVr
crit i concerning the school, it is in

of the meeting: It waeauea to or

- . . . ill.
-.,..; itn tm !l f un J T? T-lvQf 1I
and nominations for permanent
chairman called for. Claiborne Fai
son and Chas. H. W'illiams were
nominated. Immediately the storm
arose, about a dozen yelling "Mr.
Chairrnan', at once. The confusion
was so sreat that the chairman turned
his back to the convention, and with
his fingers in his cars said he would
entertain no motion until order was
restored. H.ialty he put the motion
and each nominee claimed to be
elected chairman, V
- Fai son mounted the rostrum and
Williams a table, each calling the
convention to order. An attempt
was made to take Faison down but
they only succeeded in tearing the
table that was in front of him to
pieces, some raising- the legs of
the table and others the top ready to
Lcombat for what rhey believed to be
their rights. The officers of the law
restored sufficient order for each fac
tion to go through the process of de
claring delegates elected-to the con
gressional and other conventions.
After adjournment R. b. Doles!
a respectable and leading col
ored 'man of Jackson, who
may have imbibed too freely of
'convention water," and John War
ren, generalljr called "Uncle John,"
who is. a thoroughly reliable and
honest colored man, had ail alterca
tion which resulted in Doles trying
to scalp IJncle John with his teeth,
inflicting a wound and Uncle John
placing a brickbat on Dole's head
with such force as to bring the blood"
in profusion. They were arraigned
before the Mayor and bound over for
appearance at next , term of Superior
Court. The State Solicitor was one
of the witnesses. Thus ended the
convention. ' All the delegates, were
colored. "
The above are the facts as given
us by the officers of the law and oth
ers. We regret to have to report
such affairs'as occurring in sood old
Northampton, noted for the number
of churches, good schools and intelli
gence of her colored citizens, but the
Patron and Gleaneii is a newspaj
per and it is expected of it to give
the news which it generally does,
though sometimes with regrets.
