Turing the la.-it campaign a sjieak- er who was horn and raised in Hali- uk county, but who now lives iu an other part of the state, went to Tlali- ax county and spoke to a crowd of about one hundred whites, mostly democrat.-;, and fifty or seventy-five colored men. After explaining the issues as he understood them, he said : Jut my friends why waste time and words discussing these thinirs? These colored men will vote the lle- niblicau ticket, you white men will vote as you have made up your minds to do, and the tally sheet will be made up as usual in this county. Though I should speak with the tongue of an angel I could not change the result. lief ore me I see friends who in the good old days i was mv privilege and pleasure to frolic and hunt with. Then you rode line horses, or drove them to line buggies ; you wore "good clothes," mostly tailor made; your liclds bloomed and blossomed with grain and cotton. The woods resounded with the sound of the shot gun, the yelp of the hound and the jolly hello or laughter of huntsmen. Just over there stood a grand old family mansion, the home of your old Senator, a place noted for hospitality and good cheer. In your village there were prosperous merchants, five or six stores here, now I see but one open now. Many of vou who walk ed here to-day then rode into town and it was a pleasure indeed to meet you. You were prosperous, happy and contented. It was then the proud, grand old county of Halifax Yesterday as I rode through half of the countv I felt as though I were riding through an old family bury ing ground. What is the matter with your county ? Your roads and bridges are out of repair, your fences are down, your houses without glasses and paint, your lields that produced such abundant crops, are grown up in sassafras bushes, sage straw and cuckle burs. Most of your best peo l i .ri. ii 1.. aim. - I pie nave ieit me uoiuiiy. i neie aie the vviggins, the (Jlarks, the I'ur- nells, the Burtons, the Whitakers Many of you who former ly come on fine horses or rode in buggies walked here to-day, aiul some of you doubtless are now sitting on patches a thrifty wife has put in your pants, lou have not a single manufacturing institution in your county now, ana except one or two saw mills struggling tor existence. and still you have at least one of the tinest water powers m thebouth, idle at your principle town. .No capita is coming or can be induced to come to Halifax county for investment. Settlers do not stop here. Twenty years ago your land was worth five times what you could sell it tor to day. Your tax assessors recognize his and have reduced the valuation accordingly. What is the cause of this change? These things force themselves on one who loves your county for old associations and visit3 it after years of absence. We see the effect. What is the cause ? It can not be Republican taxation and ex travagance so often drummed into your ears for you have, and for your sake other counties have, the Demo cratic county government, and the Republicans have had no hand in the State government since 1ST6. Your land ia worth less and vo ir condition worse thau when they con trolled both, and O. Ham & Co. as so often said by Democrats, held high carvinal in your county town. Surely Democratic rule has not pro duced this change in your condition ! Other counties in the State have the same laws you have, the same county government, the same State and .Na tional government, pay the same taxes, the same profits to commission merchants and interest to money lenders, and yet thos? other counties, i l oNs-piracy or th? concpiru- ; is ll not to Your ma-rot to! look into this matter '1 To iuk if it' is not on account of tho.-e things no man wants to coin- or iute.-t hhii capital m your county, that ytur bert men ma h as I have referred to have Kiught homes and fortunes in other, localities where th-e, things are not! rermitted, that your lands are depre- ciatcd in value, that the laWing classes are leaing you and that; Halifax county on account of it.-! election methods is a 'tench iu the ; nostrils of all honest men in and out i of the Stat". -Self terser vat ion is: the tirct law of nature. the cause or om of Proper:?

It has been more than a year since the most commanding figure, and magnetic force in the reform move ment was called upon by an inscrut able providence, to lay down the great work that he was doing tor humanity. No man in the organiza tion (and few in the whole country) have had an equal place in the hearts of the people. And while this is his highest tribute and his proudest monument, yet we should give some evidence of our esteem and admiration for him. Iu the past North Carolina has not done her duty iu this respect. Let every A 1- ianceman, and every lover of the great principles of truth and justice (as embodied in the demands of ' the Alliance) resolve, that before anoth er year shall have passed, that a plain but fitting and imposing mar Ide shaft shall mark the resting place of L.

The personnel of the delegation could not be surpassed in any body of men that ever met in the State. Sobriety, conservatism, discretion, and wis dom marked every action of the body. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: J. M. Me whom, President; Col. J. S. Bridges, of Catawba, was elect ed Vice-President; W. S. Barnes, re elected Secretary-Treasurer; v . II.

The or ganization is already on the upgrade, and we predict that it will continue to prosper under his faithful, and devoted leadership. In placing Bros. J. J. Long of Columbus, and A. F.

The heat was most intense, and many of the men in the water were compelled to duck their heads under it to prevent the flames from scorching their faces and heads. One brave fellow stripped himself and brought a number of his neighbors across the river before the Rat boat arrived, when all were rescued. It is reported that Mrs. Thomas Salone, an old lady who was bed ridden, was burned in her home. The charred remains of a boy were found in the debris. Major Swift of tho Salvation Army. Major Susie F. Swift, one of tho most brilliant women of tne Salvation Army . is in Boaton. Nine years ago she was a Vassar col lege girl, when she decided to join the ranks of the Salvationists with two col lege companions. Today Miss Swift is the only American born and bred woman who holds the rank of major in that re ligious army. She is best known l.y h .r comrades in the work through her ability in editing the magazine entitled All the World, which informs civilization of the princi ples and progress of the Salvation Army. For this work she seems to have been ad mirably fitted by the trainingshe received during her two years as junior and one year as senior editor of The Vassar Mis cellany, the college journal. In every sense of the word Miss Swift is a literary woman as well as a religious leader. She resides v.ith her fellow editor, Staff Captain Douglas.-, in the suburbs of London, when not traveling, and re ports for The English Cry at homo and abroad. Her writings have been fre quently reviewed by the English press. In appearance Major Swift looks intel ligent and refined. She is credited with being a good and effective extemporane ous talker.
