It is claimed for Albert Johnson, of
Raleigh, N. C, that he is the oldest loco
motive engineer in point of service in the
country. He had charge of an engine on
the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail
road away back in 1836, m the davs of
strap rails and "snakeheads." He is still

Raleigh and Gaston depot.
The North Carolina board of managers
for the World's Columbian Exposition
will meet at Raleigh, October 20, to de
vise ways and means for securing a State
exhibit. It has no funds in hand, be
cause it was ascertained too late that the
special appropriation made by the legis
lature could not be legally , used. The
Manufacturers' Record believes that this
will not prevent that State from makin
an exhibit in all respects woi thy of her
boundless resources and of the enterprise
and liberality of her citizens. Some wise
plan for raising a popular subscription
will be adopted, and the response will be
speedy, generous and general.

Coming to Asheville.
The Gastonia Gazette says: Messrs
Wm. H. Lewis and Jas. W. Summers
two prominent lawyers irom tnis sec
tion, have gone to the city of Asheville
to practice their profession. They will
unite under the name and style of "Sum
mers & Lewis," and, judging from what
we know of them, by reputation and
otherwise, they will make a strong and
csmpetent law firm. Mr. Lewis has been
practicing law for about five or six. years
mostly in this vicinity, id has made
-for himself a fine record for honest and
fair dealing, and has justly won the rep
utation of being a strong and successful
advocate before the jury. He has a
great many friends in this communitv.
all of whom regret that he felt con
strained to leave us. Mr. Summers, of
Davidson College, we are told, is also a
man of excellent parts. It is said that
he is well versed in the law, has a strong
and brilliant intellect, and has been prac
ticing his profession, and teaching in the
law, for several. years with marked suc
cess. We feel assured that pleasant seats
await them in their new field; and we
hope sotn to hear that they are receiving
the patronage they so richly deserve.
An Important Southern Enterprise.
It is with pleasure, alway?, that the

plenty in the South. The Richmond
Cedar Works, of Richmond, Va.t turns
out of a well equipped factory a very
superior quality of goods indeed. Their
tubs, pails, churns, measures, kegs, &.,
will bear the closest inspection, and for
neatness of finish, have no superior on
the market.
They also make a specialty of oak well
buckets, which i3 a 4 King" indeed.

Some people are disposed to criticise
Representative Mills because of his re
cent Ohio speech which took the ground
that the tariff is the supreme issue in the
contest between the Republican and
Democratic parties and that all other
issues are secondary, but no good Demo
crat should do so. Mr. Mills is right
The tariff is the one issue upon which
there is no division in the Democratic
ranks and for that reason, if for no other,
it must be kept at the front. Let us get
possession of all branches of the govern
ment first, then we can take up and set
tle inside the party all the oiher ques
tions. Gastonia Gazette.
