The tirst foreclosure of a mortgage under the fear of a probability of the election of W. J. Bryan as President was in stituted by Mrs. Hackendoner, a widow, against James W. Grantham, a, free silver man of Marshall Mrs. llackendoner's attorney, Clarence Griggs, wrote to Grantham con cerning the interest, and stated that unless the interest was paid at once he would be compelled to foreclose in the interest of his client, hut would not do so if Grantham gave him a guarantee that in the event of the election of Bryan he would pay the mortgage i'i money equiva lent to gold in value. Grantham wrote, statin? that he considered the letter au attempt to influence his vote. Mr. Griggs showed the letter to his client, who instructed mn to at once commence proceed ings, lie did so. Mr. Griggs states That, although he is secretary of the Republican County Central Com mittee, his action was wholly a mat ter of business. Tour Hundred and Filt.T-Four for Bryau. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. A list of 450 Republicans, w bo are going to vote for Mr. Bryan and free silver has been prepared in Orleans County for publication next week in the i-junty papers. W. E. Willey, chairman of the lit-publican City Committee of Nia gara Falls, has resigned in order to support Bryan, aud Galen Miller, one of the Supervisors of Lewiston, who for years was a Republican is .also an ardent suppotter of Bryan.

PF.WALt.IN HRYAK'9 HANDS He It WllHi'K 1 fracrlUce Himself llmd of the '1 Ickct. for Chicauo, Sept. Chairman .Jones, of the .Democratic National Committee, has made public a letter to William J. Bryan from Arthur Sewall, apparently dated July r.i, at which time the Populist Convention was in session. The letter, which io exciting a great deal of comment, reads as follows: Mv Dear Mr. Bryan: In i w of the action of the St. Louis Conven tion to-day, 1 cannot refrain from .-iviii"' voit mv thought.- on the.itu- ntioil. M v ;sd vices :iiv Dint you hu-.fjK-en uomi;.;ited as candidate for Pre.si dent, and Mr Watson for Vice Pres ident. 1 also learn ' through press dispatches that jou are .somewhat undecided whether you ought to ;;e .w ,lrlmi Now. I desire to l.Vp l ...... sav to vou with the utmost frank ness and good feeling, that you must not allow 'any personal considera tion -for -tiii1 to iniluence vou m vour v a - action. 1 desire vou will do just what you believe is best for the success of ihe head of our ticket. The principles we are lighting for are so paramount al considerations that the letter should not have any weight or influence whatever with your action. I cannot for a moment allow my self to be a factor in any action on your part that would in the slight est degree hazard an electoral vote or vou. With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, believe me, vour sincere friend, Akthi ji Skw.vi.i.. Bath, Me , Julv 'i'i. The Democratic managers at headquarters insisted the letter had no further fcigniiicance tlnm that Mr Brvan would consent to revive formal notification from the Pop ulist mrtv in the near future, and he publication was to forestall all uniois as to the attitude of Mr fol the this Sewall toward a cereinonv. Chairman Jones dictated the owing explanation as to how etter comes to be published at time: "Several days ago Chairman Johes wrote a letter to Mr. Sewall stating to turn tnat many J'emocrats throughout the country, and especi ally throughout the West, were ob- ecting to fusion with the Populists on electoral tickets for the reason that thev did not want to be disloy al to Mr. Sewall In replv to Chair- in m Jones, Mr. Sewall forwarded copy of the. letter written to Mr. Bryan, dated July 25, isiui: "The tales about the retirement of our candidate for Vice-President is oo absurd to be serious! v discussed. Mr. Sewall's letter written after Mr. Brvan's nomination bv the St. Loui? Convention, is a splendid illustration of his loyalty to his associate on he Democratic National ticket. He i sees no embarrassment whatever in Mr. Brvan's nomination for Presi dent by another party and upon an other ticket, but believes it to be in important step toward certain vectorv for the silver cause. It is a complete answer to etforts of the gold Democrats to crtate the im pression that Mr. Sewall will retire under any circumstances to sy that the Democratic party and its nation al organizations are just as loyal to Mr. bewail as he himself is to Mr. Bryan and the grent cause of the common people. Mr. Bryan's Nleco Elope. Louisville, Kv., Sept. Miss Laura Millson, a niece of William Jennings Bryan, nominee for Presi dent, was married this afternoon to John L. Martin, in Jeifersonville mu., oy squire riaue. uotn are from Salem, 111 , from which place they eloped. The young lady started from home presumably to visit friends in this city. Her sweetheart boarded the same train, and at Wat son,Tnd., they took a train for Jef fersonville. The reason for the elopement was that the mother of the bride was op posed to the marriage. The bride's mother is a sister of Mr. Bryan. To Carry New York. The New York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun (extreme gold pa per) says the Democratic leaders now believe that New York can be car ried for Bryan, and that they have definitely determined to make the greatest fight of the campaign in that ! State. Natioual Chairman Jones and Senator Gorman will have a conference in the city of New York this week to map out the work. Several years ago I was taken with a severe attack of flux.

A correspondent of the Wilming ton Star writing from Beaufort, Sept. 1, savs: l esteruay the crew oi vnau- wick ev Jones' factory were hshing for fat-backs when they made a haul of mullets, estimated at 1.500 bar rels This means that there were about 150,000 fish caught, as they run one hundred to the barrel. Last ni'ht the tish-houses of Morehead and Beaufort furnished scenes of the iveliest activity. Such enormous catches are rot requent. Iu fact, they are made onlv two or thrte times a year, and then onlv in ihe pecuiiarlv con ducted "purse-nets" used in deep . i 1 I . . water tor catcning snau ami lai- ;acks.

The Republican club at Hender onville met Monday night and pas sed a resolution calling Oliver H. Dockerv a traitor, aud pledging that he shall not receive a single Repub lican ballot in that county. Hen derson Republicans were the first to declare for Dockery for Governor and are now the first to denounce him. A Keen Interest. The capitalists and manufactur ing barons have never before mani fested such keen interest i& the wage-earner as now. They beg him with tears in their eyes not to com pel them to pay him only r0 cents when they would so dearly love to pay him $1. Nashville Sun. Tillman in the f oal Regions. The Bryan campaign managers have decided that Senator Tillman of South Carolina shall resume his campaign in Pennsylvania among the coal miners, where, it is claimed, he became such a hero by a few speeches delivered recently. The Senator will come from his South Carolina home and go to Pennsylvania about the 10th of this month. He will remain in that State until the 20th, speaking con tinuously. On the 19th he is sched uled to speak in Philadelphia, and the silverites there will prenare an ovation for him. His speech tthere will be addressed particularly to the workingme'n, who are supposed to put great faith in him. The Sena tor will begin his campaign in Schuylkill county. He will go from there into Carbon, Lucerne, Lackawanna and Northumberland counties. Changed Her Plans. Liverpool, September 1. Miss fllara Rarlnn Prnoi A 4. C A U .

It means that the money of the people shall not be boycotted It means that greenbacks shall be redeemed with silver as well as gold. It means that no more bonds shall be sold to buy greenbacks. It means that silver shall continue to be a legal tender. It would mean money enough in circulation to keep pace with the in crease in population. It would make silver bullion worth as much as if coined into dol lars. It would stop the redemption of greenbacks by money sharks who will not take silver for them. It would guarantee stability to our currency. It would gradually raise the level of prices. It would mean better prices for wheat and corn. It would mean more work and better pay for work. The panic maker would go out of business. We would have no more declara tions from the White House that the government is bankrupt. There would be no more syndicate bond purchases at robbery rates of interest. It would mean the payment of 100 cents on the dollar for indebt edness and no more. These thoughts are not our thoughts, nor of any one man, but the conviction of a majority of the Democratic American people. They are presented in this form that vou mav understand them. A Vote on the Train. A train from Goldsboro, N. C, reached Richmond yesterday, having on board quite a number of mer chants and citizens from the Old North State. The Dispatch says that while en route Mr. Ed ward Wr Gregory, of that city, who represents Roberts & Hoge, took a vote to ascertain the political senti ments of the passengers The bal lot resulted as follows: Bryan, 93; McKinley, 2; Levering, 1. Some of Mf Klnle;' Supporters, Call the roll of the millionaire supporters of McKiuley, both Demo crats and Republicans, and you will fiud that they cover the trust and monopoly interests of the United States. They are banded in solid phalanx on behalf of the Republican candidate. They are lavish in ttfeir money to corrupt the electorate that McKinlev mav succeed, and from one end of the country to the other are using the agencies of intimida tion, possessed by them as great em ployers of labor, to coerce their em ployes into voting for McKinley. Pittsburg Post. The New Hook Spoon Free to All. I reael in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A , St.-Louis, Mo , would give an elegant plated hook spoon to any one sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and made $13.00 in two hours, taking orders for the spoon The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip in to Ihe dish or cooking vessel, being held in the place by a hook on the back. The spoon is something that housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented. Any one can get a sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent stamps to Jkiss bill. I his is a splendid ma. e moiicv around homr way to Very truly, Jkannktte S.

Kxpenses KxcpvA Receipts for August by Over Tn ifiUHou Dollars. " The monthly statement of the public debt, issued from the Treas ury Department, shows that at the close of business on Monday the pub lic debt, less cash in the Treasury, was $978,497,100, which is an in crease for the month of $12,342,084. This is accounted for by the los3 of almost exactly that amount of cash on hand, due to the excess of expen ditures over receipts. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest bearing debt, $847,364,200, interest on which interest has ceased since inaturi : $l.r,'2L960; debt bearing interest, $372,oU,.J70 maKinga total of 1,221,843,590. This amount, however, does not include 503.050. 973 in certificates and Treasury notes outstanding and offset by an equal amount of cash in the Treasury. The cash in the Treasury is classi fied as follows: Gold, 8139,825,200; silver, $513,647,700; paper, 177, 923,508; bond?, disbursing officer's balances, &c, $17,992,270, making a total of $849,388,740, against which there are demand liabilities amount ing to 006,042.345, which, leaves 243,340,400 cash in the Treasury. The interest-bearing debt of . the L'overnment is shown by the state ment to have been $1,182,149,050 on March 1. 1885; $844,100,220 on March 1, 1889; 585 034.200 on March 1, 1893, and S47,364,200 on August 31, 1896. The monthly comparative state ment of the receipts and expenditures of the United States, issued yester day, shows that during August the total receipts from all sources aggre gated 25,502,096, and the expendi tures 35,701,676, leaving a deficit for the month of $10,139,5S0, and for the two months of the fiscal vear, 23,198,839, as compared with $13, 113,854 for the same period in 1895. The receipts from customs during last month were 12,329,495, as com pared with $15,039,047 for August, lsyo. rrom internal revenue sour ces the receipts for August, 1896, were $1 1,901,338. as compared with 12,173,104 for August, 1S95. The expenditures last month were over $3,000,000 in excess of those for August, 1S95. The Treasury yesterday lost 55, 200 in gold coin and $10,400 iu bars, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve, $103,779,513. j ' ! The Magistrate Business j There are now 87 magistrates in j Cabarrus county. There will be : six to retire as the new ones come ' in, making the older number 81. ; The election this fall will increase. the number 42, making the whole ' number in the county 123. The State must furnish them the neces- j sary books. The magistrates elected : from this time on will hold their j office just two years. After 4 years , the terms of every one of the pres- j ent magistrates will have expired j and we will have only the num-; ber elected which will be 42 unless i the towns require more by reason of ! increased population, or what is! more likely and more judicious, a ' setting aside of fusion methods and u n i.- I and national methods. In either event there will be a decided sur- p'us of law books in the State that: will not be read nor used and ! could be wisely exchanged for school books and placed in the hands of public school children if there were any demand for them. Without the change by the legis lature of '95 we would have about 45 magistrates. With the change, we are to have 123 the next two years, then in four years we are to have 42 magistrates.
