Congress of March 3 1879.

unconsciously approaching it. The
indications are for an early fall.
The announcement that vCom
niander Peary will leave the Navy

prises us is, how such a laker ever
got in.
Perhaps the disturbance of the
telegraph wires last Saturday was
caused by the prediction of those re
ligious fanatics in New England,
who predicted the end of the world
to occur last Friday.
The report comes from Winston
Salem that the Democrats of that
city want to n minate Judge E. B.
Jones for Congress in this, the 5tb,
District. Judge Joues will be as
good material a8 thry could put u;
for Mr. Morehead to deteac.

Another Democratic candidate for
Congress looms up in the Fith dis
trict, this time from an unexpected
quarter, Roxboro, iu the person of
Hon. J. A. Long. There will be a
warm time in the ranks of the Dem
ocracy in this district by the time
the couventivn meets.

Some of the Democratic papers in
the State think that they see success
ior the party in sight by the nomi
nation of" Judge Parker, of New
York, for the Presidency iu 1912.
Well, they could not nominate a
better man, but the "rainbow chas
ing" element of the party will nat
support him. That was proven once.

unqualified endorsements of every
public spirited citizen in Burlington.
Because it spells progress. Because
it will present concrete evidence'
the splendid advantages and possi
bilities we offer to the home-seeker,
capitalist and manufacturer.
t With a progressive citizenship,
led by enterprisiug men, Burlington
is destined to become one of the
most important cities in the Pied
mont belt during the next decade.
Virginia Politic.
Never before in the history of the
party iu the "Old Dominion," has
the Republicans made such a deter-
termined fight to wrest the State
from Democratic rule as it is now
making. The party inaugurated its
battle for supremacy in the State by
nominating an exceptionally strong
ticket for state officers, and enuncia
ting a strong platform of principles
for its candidates to stand upon
The ticket of the party is compos
ed of the names of men .in whose
veins flow some of the ' best blue
blood of that grand and proud old
commonwealth. Capt. W. P. Kent,
whose name hads the ticket is a
recent convert from Democracy and
has a strong following in that party
which will support him in the ap
proaching election. Republican
speakers of note and ability are dis
cussing tiie issue involved in the
campaign from every "court green"
in the state. Barbacue, and other
public meetings are being held
throughout the state.
The State Executive Committee
has leased the Buena Vista Times,
aud placed that veteran newspaper
man, Col. W. Boone, late of- this
State in charge, who has surround
ed himself with an able corps of
editoral writers, who are conducting
a campaign of education by sending
copies of the publication into every

The Leader, up to a little more than

extend the right hand 'of fellowship
to Mr. Albright upon his return to
the newspaper work for which he
is so well fitted. It is hardly nec
essary to state that the Leader will
espouse the cause of the Republican
party, both State and National and
influence felt throughoutvNorth Carolina.
It sure does sounch funny to hear
the Democrats talk of local self-gov
ernment in North Carolina, after
what has taken place in this state in
the past few years. But we suppose
it has been a hobby so long, that
has become second almost second

Those Democrats who thiuk they
see hopes of the Harmon star rising
in the death of Governor "Johnson,
are evidently dreaming. They have
over-looked the fact, that William
Jennings Bryan is still master of
cerejnonie and will have something
to say about who is who in the par
ty for some time yet.
Owing to friction between the
board of county commissioners and

A v
Forsyth county, Winston-Salem is
liable to lose her position on the
permanent route of the National au
tomobile highway from New York
to Atlanta. This reminds us of the
old, but true saying. "Too many
cooks spoil the broth."
If you are a kickei and see the
shadow of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town. For
heavens sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow
on tne clay bank, and give the men
who are working to build up the
town a chance. . One long faced,
holloweyed, whintn carping chronic
kicker can do more to drive away
business and capital from a town
than all the drouths, short orop,
chintz-bugs, cyclone and blizzards
combined. Thi i. especially appli

The life of an editor was paved
the other day by a silver dollar in

stop the ball, we shall always pre
sume that you might have saved our

.Well!
The idea of the Democrats nomi
nating a business man for Cougress
in this Congressional district is a
great joke. There are too manv
lawyers that are hungry for office
for a business mau to stand -any
show. In fact, take the lawyers out
of the Democratic party in the State
and there will be no party left to
speak of.
