His personal knowledge of men and affairs, his knowledge of department work, having him self drafted the Parcel Post Bill and procured its passage, his knowlesge of the wealth and the needs of the country, and of how confidence is lost and depression follows, and how confidence is restored and prosperity is re stored, make him the most inter, esting and instructive speaker in the District Judge Blythe also was well received. He is not only an able speaker but also a lawyer of recognized ability; and his long exnerience and knowledge of courts and his familiarity with the means of saving costs to the courts of the district make it very desirable that he should be elected.

But, according to in formation (such as it is) received re cently about conditions elsewhere, we have no special cause to com plain. We don't guarantee the in formation; we merely quote it on the authority of a Hendersonville merchant who has a widespread) reputation for veracity or vora-l city, or whatever you call it- j This well known merchant was standing near the justly celebrated death-trap which the Southern Railway is for some inscrutable reason allowed to maintain and op erate on 7th Avenue. He was watching a number of hands load- Hen Jerson county apples on a freight car; and as he watched the work, he discussed the climate. He was speaking of the alleged drouth in this county and was comparing it with the real drouth in Kansas. And this is what he said: "Why, I know a place in Kansas where there are bull frogs, seven years old, that have never had a chance to get in the water. And the car-shifters at the death trap were so utterly amazed at this truthful incident that they paused for a moment in their death-dealing occupation, thereby (quite un intentionally ) saving the lives of three pedestrains and two teams, all of whom would otherwise have been enticed to their death. ROBERT CORN After a long and" severe illness Robert Corn, an old and highly respected citizen of Blue Ridge Township, died at his home on September 4, surrounded by his children and sorrowing friends. Mr. Corn was born February 2, 1822, and died at the ripe old age of 92 years, 7 months and 2 days; and for sixty-two years had been a faithful and consistent member of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. C. D. Cole. A large crowd of people from the different sections of the county, attended to show their respect to this good man, to testify to his virtues, and to aid in giving him a peaceful and respectful burial in the old Ebenezer Burying ground, which Mr. Corn had as- LOCAL AND PERSONAL QUEER COMPANY Miss L.

Davis of this city, one of the tww republican members of the state board of elections, was summoned by telegram to be and appear i Wilmington Saturday morning at nine o'clock to attend a special meeting of the state board of elec tions. Mr. Davis, upon receipt of tke telegram calling him to the city by the sea, was more or less bewildered. He could not imagine what in the world they wanted with a special meeting of the state board of elec tions so early after their meeting in l.idt'iirli a 1V weeks ;i o at which they appointed all count. boards of election. Mr. Duviv lowever, without ntakini; inquirr as to what was the matter,took tlu lirsl train out last Friday niorninf. and landed in iluiiugtdi in dat time for the meeting Satnrdar.

At the same time Mr. Davis was informed that tho selection of Joseph A. Price as a ir.einber of the New Hanover board of elections, by the state board at their meeting in Raleigh a lew v.eeks ago, had caused a tremen dous big row among theDemocruU I' New Hanover county, and that the board was called together for the purpose of hearing the charges preferred against Mr. Price by tli regulars.

The regular faction contended through i s attorneys and other spokesmen, that Mr. Trice was entirely unlit to represent the Democrats of New Hanover eouiitv on the board of elections, because he belonged to tie Independent League taction. Mr. Price, through his attorneys and spokesmen, contended that he was just as good a Democrat as the man whom the regulars were wanting, named in his stead, and .',iist as capable of representing the Democrats ot the counlv on board of elections. After listening to the statements ol' both factions for several hours, the board finally, near 1be hour of midnight Saturday, made an ord t removing Mr. Price from the board of elect ions of New Hanover county, and appointing -, Pinner in bis stead.
