He was insulted all the way on the train by this mob. He went to a hotel in Dunn that night, and went up to his room A little after midnight he was awa kened by an armed mob, who had broken into his room, and stood over his bed with drawn pistols. They forced him to at the point of their wealons to get up and dress, and go down stairs, get into a buggy and leave the county. They also forced him lo take money out of his own pocket and turn over five dollars for what they said would be to cover the expense of the trip. This lawless outrage Is so infa mous that we forbear to comment upon the above facts, but leave tne Christian, lawabiding people of the State to pass their own verdict. It happened that there was anoth er speaker to speak at Dunn on Wed- wilx there be recognition IN HELLf On Sunday morning after the election a couple of "Amen-corner" Democrats were on their way to church. They were congratulating themselves npon the glorious victo ry of Thursday. They were feeling uncommonly good. One said to the other: Wonder what Brother will preach about this morning?" The other replied, "I don't know, but he has beeu mighty strong with u in this fight, and I know he feels good, too. I expect he is up In the seventh heaven. I would not be surprised if he preached on 'Recognition In Heaven.'" "Well," said the other, "that will be all right if he does; but wouldn't it send a thundering chill through the congregation if he preached from that passage of the scripture which says, 'That a certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves?' " It's said, "Adlai is strong on im perialism." Yes, "he was strong for the gold standard" when he run for Vice-President under Cleveland. There is nothing in "it's said."

The News and Observer, in its editorial we stated that we did not Sunday's issue, went out of the way oeneve mat it was tne purpose of the to jump on the lUleigh Post.

In Sunday's News and Observer there is the proof. It says : "There are thow who believe that The misfortone that doth beset M ndecai is that he has established uch a reputation for wilful and per Histent misrepresntation that what ie says is taken with many galea ot .

In Lnufciana and other Southern States, the passage ot the Amendment has had tne effect of causing Republicans and Populist tojom the Democratic party. In those States, whatever the Democrat ic primaries decree is done. The pri maries are largely attended, and af ter it registers the people's wiU, the election does not create much inter est. In order to have a voice in public matters, therefore, there is every incentive to Republicans and Populists to join the Democratic p.r- ty, thus joining a better prty as well as obtaining a potent voice in public affairs. Ic should be so here in North Carolina; it will be . so here." s If the News and Observer's expec tations are realized, what will Broth er Bailey, of the Biblical Recorder do? And what will the Democrats who want to leave the Democratic party, and who voted for the amend ment for that reason, do? and what I server."

When the Democrats carried the state in 1898 they crowed lustily everywhere. They say they have carried the 8tate this year by more than three times as large a majority and yet you hear of no crowing; and and when you meet a Democrat, trv. stead of his having the bold face of a victorious game cock, he looks like he had either been whiDned nr hA stolen something. nihe curs he makes.
