The Republican party are doing sll in their power to convince the people that the great issue between the paities is free trade and protec tion. There is but one issue in this present campaign. It is -embodied in President Cleveland's message pro posing a reduction of the tariff du ties to a basi3 for revenue only. A xovenne sufficient for the expenses of ike government. The Democracy waut Protection. They want a Protective tariff just in accordance with the presidents ideas. They want protection from a hoarded surplus that creates in ihigh places the temptation for ex travagance and fraud. They want protection against the formation of corners and trusts by bond holders .and manufacturers and monopolies. They want protection against a S Cbangers on "J look stftf auage to live off of the ..)jpies money. They want protec tion agaiust a set of bloody shirt: wavers of the Ingall and iiigersoll 1 stripe who are endeavoring to keep -alive the fires of sectional hate and a:iimoJty, They Mant protection .against an influx of cheap heathen Chinese labor of which Mr. Harri .son was the champion. Last, but not least, our good old North .State wants protection from any possibili ty of a return to radical rule of years ago. They want protection from a set of officials who by former co-oporation are allied to the irre sponsible horde of carpet baggers adventurers and spend-thrifts who .once held high carnival in our State halls. They want protection for .tluir eastern white brethren from it he domination of a'race, the major ity of whom are unfit to govern even their home affairs. They want pro tection from "one idea" fanatics who would fain throw aside all other in terests of the old commonwealth to -.parry out a pet hobby. Finally, when the leaves are sere and yellow, in the coming Novem ber, they will, by ballot have this protection, nailing and clinching down the democratic platform, both National and State, as the platform of their rulers. KOLDIERH ilEUKIOX. As will be seen by a call from J. F. Williford, secretary of the Con federate SurvivorsAssociation of Ca barrus, a preliminary meeting of the officers of this association is called for Saturday the 18th. We are . glad that Secretary Wilriford, in the absence of Col. N. Slough, the President, has taken this" step to bring together these old soldiers :3Y ho for years served the Confedera- cy and bore aloft during that time the "Stars and Bars." True, the civil war is over and again this mighty republic is one in interest and thought. Its perpetuation is as dear to the hearts of those who once contended for a separation as it is to those who wore the blue. This coming together will be of much in terest to these old veterans of a Lost Cause and it will be of interest to the young, vividly bringing to mind what their fathers dared in the past, we hope that every old soldier that can come will meet with this consti tuted committee on tomorrow week (the 18th,) and make all necessary arrangements for the perfection of this reunion during the fair. And we hope that a grand basket pic nic will be arranged for that time and every old veteran of Cabarrus, and his family, will be present to talk over the days that tried mens souls. And again we hope every one of those who in their youthful- days followed Lee, Jackson, Longsfcreet and Stu art through a hail of 'shot and shell will prepare their old relics of war days for exhibition, and the girl? of "yt olden time," whose locks are now silvered by the frosts of tjme, will exhibit those homespun dresses, woven by their own hand, and made memorable in song. Let us have a grand Reunion. COriiTY eOXTEXTM. As w as seen by the call of the chairman of the county democratic executive committee, published in our last issue, a convention for the nomination of a county ticket will take place in the Courthouse on the 8th of September, proceeded by the regular primaries in the several townships on September 1st, at w hich primaries a committee of live will be elected to serve the township as executive commit te. It is impor tant and absolutelv necessary that these committees be composed of the best and most influential democrats in the township, men unprejudiced and with the best interest of the party at heart, for upon those com mittees rests the duty of electing the democratic executive committee. The men composing the county executive committee should be chos3n from the most wide-awake, liberal, -conscientious, died-in-the-wool, popular and influential democrats in the county, fot upon them and their ef forts depend, in a great measure, the success and harmony that every democrat is anxious to see. Now, since the executive commit tee has called a county convention, why not have well-atteuded prima ries, in which every voter has regis tered his will and sentiment? Go early, and stay the whole day! And what if you do ? You will have done nothing but your duty. What is the convention? to pre serve the best interest of the demo cratic party. The Ex. Com. has called the convention; that committee is a confided representative of the people. The convention ispart of our organiza tion, if sustained and supported in its state form, why not in the coun- ty. Gentlemen, you men who compose the grand and intelligent party of the people, in the name of peace, harmony, in the name of success, "which means a ,continuance in now er of good and faithful officials, we say go to the primarises, and stay there long enough to lay in all your complaints and suggestions, and when that is done, you will then have nothing to do, but abide by the honest and fair work, in which you had a voice. Let us see what the democrats will do. COXSTITlTHrX At A.M EJfDJIKfT. Many of our people are, perhaps, not aware that one of the most im portant issues to be decided at the approaching election is the proposed amendment to the constitution of the State, under which amendment, if it carries at the election, two J udges will be added to our Supreme Court beech, making the number of Snpeme Court Judges five instead of three. It is believed by all, who are informed as the Judicial work of our State, that the additon of two Judges to the present Supreme Court is an absolute necessity,because of the fact that theincrease of legal business in the State has by appeals from the Superior Courts so increased the Su preme docket as to make it both physically and mentally impossible for three Judges to do the work re quired of the court, as it is now.con stituted. There are in round numbers about 400,000 tax-payers in the State, and the two extra Judges will cost oulv five thousand dollars, a year, which will impose a tax of only one .and one-quarter cent on each tax-payer. Of this tax the large tax-pavers will pay by far the larger part, leaving for the small taxpayer a sum too small to be felt, or even calculated, Judge Shepherd, of Beaufort county, and Judge Avery, of Burke county, are the Democratic nominees for places on the Supreme Court bench under the proposed amend ment to the constitution of the State and are both gentlemen of the high est personal character and fitness for the duties of the office.

'-oq v AaajpoQ 'uosujcji sb jsnf ?x pjuojipa siqx Herein North Carolina we have now a striking example of the incon sistency and insincerity of the Pro hibitionists. Notwithstanding the fact that the Republican National platform has come out squarely for free whiskey, and notwithstanding the additional fact that that party was at the last general election anti prohibition, these pretended advo cates of the abolition of all sorts of intoxicants, are hand and glove with Dockery and his following, This movement is led by the Rev. W. T. Walker, as the gubernatorial candi date of the Prohibition party, who seems, in addition to his high calling of preaching "Christ and Him cruci fied," is not averse to making a party "spec" in the political field. The assertion is boldly made that the Rev. Walker is in the pay of the Re publicans, receiving 1,000 to make the campaign; the shrewd managers of the negro party in the South, knowing that every vote taken from the Democrats, will count two for the Republicaus. By getting "Brother" Walker, with the natural credit which attaches to his cloth, to go through the State and preach Prohibition it is hoped that many hundreds of Democrats, who are known to favor the cause of Prohibi tion, will be induced to give their suffrages to the candidate of that paity, and thus draw from the Dem ocratic ranks a sufficient number of votes to make the election of Dock ery possible. It i- plain to the man agers of Dockery's campaign that no Republicans are going to vote against their own party, which is for free whiskey, in favor of the Prohibition party, which is for no whiskey at all. This is the little game, and a very pretty plan it is to be sure. But we do not believe that any reasoning Democrat or even Prohibitionist, in the State, who is sincere in trying to advance the best interests of his State, will be deluded by this plaus ible snare. Votingfor Walker means anything else but voting against free whiskey or for no whisky. And any intelligent man, who will investigate for himself, will .quickly see that, however much he may want prohibi tion; however strongly he may be wedded to the cause, the interest of that cause and that party are not to be advanced in that way. No Bane man could think for one moment that there was a possibility of elec ting Walker, however much some of them might desire it; and if it is true, as charged, that he is a hireling, we very much mi take the temper of North Carolinians if he gets enough votes to be counted. But the .fact that he is a preacher; that he wears the garb accredited to the servants of the Most High, is apt to lead some of the over zealous ones astray. They are likely to overlook the fact that "he has disgraced his sacred office by playing the Judas in .the State campaign. It is not only important but essen tial to the welfare of the Old North State that the Democrats elect their State ticket. A failure from any cause to do so would be disastrous and humiliating in the extreme. We can do it, and should not take any chances of failure. Let the wily Dockery have his say; let Parson Walker preach and prate, but let the Democracy of North Carolina go to .the polls solid in November, and give such 8 majority for its nomi nees &s will forever defer other Re publicans, like Judge Russell, from becoming candidates for State offi cers. Wilmington Messenger. TheColumbia (S.C ) Daily Register of the 2nd inst says : On Tuesday last Mr Dave Jus tice, engineer of engine, No 70, on the Atlantic Crast Line ran his train, the afternoon passenger, from this city to Charleston in re markable time.

Rail Road Disaster: The Work of Traiu Wreckers. The Southbound passenger train which left this city last Sunday af ternoon on the Cbjuiotte, Columbia & Augusta road, was wrecked at a point 22 miles south of Charlotte. The engine encountered an obstruc tion that had been placed on the track, and a fearful wreck ensured. No one on board the train was killed outright, but five people were wounded, one of whome has since died. The train left Charlotte on the fated trip 45 minutes late, having been delayed by the late train from Danville. Capt. Sprinkle was the conductor in charge, and engineer Alexander pulb-d the throttle in the cab of one of the new coal burning engines recently place on the ,C. C. & A, road. The Catawba river bridge had been passed, and the engine was forcing around a cui ye into a deep cut, when Engiheerman Alexanders sharp eyes caught sight, of a little object just ahead that caused him to turn pale. It was a heavy iron .con trivance called a rachet drill, screw ed to one of the rails of the track. The engineer knew that that ob struction meant disaster, tut he threw on his breaks, reversed his engine and steeled his nerves to meet the shock. It came and Almost within an instant. The moment the pilot wheels of the engine "struck the terrible piece of iron, the huge machine fairly leaped into the air and landed in the dicth, twenty five feet ahead, without having once struck the rails or crossties. The tender shot ahead fifty .feet further and landed with its frqnt.'end in the direction of the train, having been turned completely around, ihe the postal car forged to one side and landed a broken and splintered mass on top of the demolished engine The baggage car turned to the. other side and ploughed into the embank ment, and the second -class cair was hurled forward and landed be.ttween the wreckage of the postal and bag gage cars. Jhe .first-class car turn ed over in tne ditch and all the trucks of the sleeper left the track. All the disaster was the result of a well known planned design at train wrecking. Last Friday, a tool known among railroad men as a rachet drill, was stolen from a sec tion master's house This instru ment is a heavy irou affair, and is made to clamp the rails where they join and hold the chisel while a hole is bored in the rail. The wreckers fastened this tool to one of the rails of the track, and the deadly wieck soon followed. There is no clew whatever to the guilty parties, but no efforts is to be spared to jhunt them down. It is expected to have the track cleared .today. oxiOrs:iisrGh .7 .. r CANNONS WIS HAVE PECIDED NOT TQ WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON TO BUT HAVE PUT THE KNIFE IN EIGHT AT THE STAET ' -o: - Now Catch On.
