Maui NTAKIIII NOTI.S. lirazil became ;i republic :il inost on the onn hundredth an niversary of North Carolina's entering one. They say a whole (own is advertised for sale in the east. The linn I tiiiM'.s have si ruck 'cm bad. The Jackson Club has been organized in Nashville, Tenn., for the purpose of purifying politics a hopeless task. Tlie race for speakership of the next House of Representa tives seems to be at present between Heed, of Maine, and McKinley. W. J. Aikel offered Post master (Jen"ral Wananiaker $100,000 for the privilege of advertising on the back of the new postage stamps. Of course it was refused. S It is estimated that human life has been lengthened L" per cent during the last half cen tury. The average life is now 40 years. This shows progress in civilization. Two thousand six hundred and forty persons died of rheumatism in the United States in 188G. Next time you have it, try cooked celery. They say it is a sure cure. On Thursday of last week Miss Nellie lily, under the auspices of the New York World, started on a tour around the world. She will try to make the tiip in seven ty-five days. There is room for another republic on this continent, and it will doubtless soon be here. Canada can't withstand the temptation long. This will be better than joining the United States, as has been talked of for sometime. Mrs. Morris, of Reidsville, will probably be cleared now. The stomaek of her husband was sent to Col. XV. J. Martin, Professor of Chemistry at Davidson College. After a careful examination, his re port is that there are no traces of poisoning whatever. The Davis Land Conipany has been formed by the friends of the ex-President. They propose to dispose of a large tract of unimproved land in Arkansas owned by Mr. Da vis, and pay off a $40,000 debt which is embarrassing him in his old age. V Although Senator Vance was not generally considered the orator of the occasion at the late Fayetteville Centennial, yet he seems to have been the lion of the hour. These peo ple are true to Zeb Vance be cause they know he is true to them. A man tried for murder in Moore county last week, and although the case was a clear one against him, as the Ex press says, he was acquitted. That paper warns the people that it was a dangerous ver dict. In the death of Hon. XV. T. Dortch, at his home in Golds boro on the 21st is removed one more of those links that connect this period with that so different of a quarter of a century ago. He was an honored statesman, and repre sented North Carolina in the Confederate Senate after the secession of this State. This is in some respects a phenomenal year. Notwith standing the severe frosts on the 7th and 8th of October that literally ruined the cotton crop in this section, cotton blooms in the county have been reported within the last few days. Second crops of raspberries, apples and pears are reported more tlufli we ever remember before. Quite recently a crate of strawberries has been shipped from the eastern part oi me state. it A newspaper man labors un der difficulties. He must keep up with the news to please his" readers, but occasionally he gets somewhat ahead of the news. The article that has been going the rounds of the press, and is still on the wing in regard to the lintless cotton seed that was destined to make a revolution, etc, was a cruel practical joke put up on a newspaper man in Spartan burg. See account on first page. The correction will never overtake the original urticlei THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE. ThingH are getting interesting the new stuh: of Montiinii. The He ill rn- iw Tuf j mid l.'i'im III the legislature, unci bo determined iire they thut there would probably have been serious trouble bad it not been for the prompt and decisive measures of the governor, .Joseph Toole. Foreseeing the trouble, K. lie promptly issued a proclamation that only those member who bad cerlili- cales of fled ion from the clerks the court for the several countit would be recognized iih members the legislature. This is the form required by theehction laws of Mon lana. It was I he scheme of the Re publicans to obtain for their mem bers cei lilicates from a State I'.oard. t he governor also appointed a place of meeting for the legislature; this place was put under a strong guard, and wncii the time for organ ization came only those were admit ted who could present the proper certilieates. In this way the legis lature has been organized, and though tho Republicans met in an other place such a body cannot be recognized as the legislature as it is without the legal form. There is no estimating the value of the proper man in the proper place. The de cisive and just, action of (Jou-nior Toole in the matter will in all prob ability result in a peaceable and equitable settlement of what at first promised to be chaos and confusion. CORRUPTION OF THE BALLOT.--THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM. Nearly ever' section of this coun try is casting around for a better system of balloting. There seems to be widespread dissatisfaction with most of the prevailing systems. This shows clearly that there are evils connected with our voting sys tems that are not confined to any party. Corruption is not only pos sible with most of those in vogue, bnt is actually practiced, and the system so much sought for is one th at will eliminate most the possi bility of corruption, and all inter ference with the voter's freedom in depositing his ballot. There would be some consolation in submitting to the evils of Lad government if we we were only certain that the oflieials of that government were elected by the free and untrammelled choice of a majority of the people. The people of this country are willing to submit to the rule of :i genuine majority. But they sub mit with bad grate to the rule of officials who are elected by voters compelled to vote according to the dictates of interested employers, or who sell their voting privilege to unscrupulous bribers. This is said on general principles and without reference to auy particular party. Any power that is gained by uufair means is to he deprecated and feared. Iu this connection we may allude to the Australian system, which promises a partial relief from the evils above alluded to, to this extent at least : "When a voter is being compelled to vote contrary to his convictions, the State shields him as much as possible iu concealing his vote. No one hut the voter knows how he votes and it is a mis demeanor to use any undue means to find out. The tickets are prepared by the State, or town, or county, with the names of all the candidates upon them. The voter retires to a private room, and by a mark desig nates his choice of the candidates, then deposits his ballot, no one as sisting him. This amounts to an educational qualification, and it is a question whether a man who is not sufficiently intelligent to read his ballot and deposit it properly, is intelligent enough to have a choice in the selection of the rulers of a country. This system has been tried in the recent elections in Massachuseets, the scene of much corruption in former elections, and is said to have been satisfactory in accomplish ing more than any other system has done to purify the ballot. It will be studied carefully, and if it ac complishes the desired purpose, it is hoped its adoption will become gen eral. "Acknowledge the Corn." The following is an extract from an editorial in the Greensboro North State (Republican) 0f last week : As truthful journalists we are compelled to admit that in the re sult of the elections held in several States on Tuesday of last week, Ave find little, if anything, consoling to Republicans. States heretofore Democratic have given Democratic majorities, and in some instances increased such majorities, and two States, Iowa and Ohio, which have heretofore been staunchly Re publican by reliable majorities, the Republican column has been broken and Democratic State officers elected. "We cannot undertake to give a rea son for these results, for at best we couiu onl) give our own opinion, wnicn mignt not be a well grounded one; but there is one thing certain. and that is that since the election in November, 1888, something has gone wrong with the Republican puny iu several fstates winch voted i last week. DP0PS OF Tar, rilrh inl Tnreiitln from tUe OKI .wrlh Ntnte. A l.eville has had several snows. A new born babe was loft on a door in h'lih igh recently.

Asheville is to have the free de- delivery mail 'system after January 1st. The Sampson county fir is to be held December -1-0 inclusive. Rather late in the season. It is said that .Judge Gilmer will resign in January. He is an ex cellent Judge. A petition for the pardon of Sain 0. White, the bank forger of Ral eigh, is being circulated. A cyclone in Reaufort county on the 2 1st destroyed houses, killed a uegro and injured several. In Iredell county there is a hor nets nest two feet high and three feet eight inches around. Mr. John McG'iacken, of Orange county, has lost 5 children, his wife and her mother this season of fever. George Daniels, of Alexandria, and his son, got into a dispute last week about some rent corn, and the old man shot his son. The two literary societies of Da vidson College had a joint debate last night, there being three debaters on each side. The last will and testament of Chief Justice Smith has been admit ted for probate in Wake county. His estate is valued at $110,000. It is denied that Major Hussey will revive the Greensboro Patriot He will return to Washington as the correspondent of some eastern papers. Judge Robt. A. Van Wyche who was elected City Court Judge in Xew York some weeks ago, is a brother of Mrs. Gen. R. Y. Hoke, of Raleigh. Mr. Vickers, a hotelistin Winston, got into a tussle with a guest in re gard to a board bill, and the result is a broken ankle for Mr. Vickers. Boarders are dangerous things. At the meeting of Mecklenburg Presbytery in Charlotte this week, it was decided to put in the field for Union and Anson counties an evan gelist at a salary of '1,0(0 a year. Hiram Allison and Jim Long, of Iredell, were pardoned Tuesday by the Governor, as recent evidence showed they had been convicted on false testimony. They were in for larceny. Gov. Fowle has ordered that a special terra of Forsyth court 6hall be held on January C, 1800, to try the Boyer-Teague contested election case, Judge Geo. II. Brown will preside. ' Tracklaying on the C. F. & Y. V. railroad has progressed to a point forty-five miles above Wilmington. Construction cars run over the road but no freight train has yet Wen put on. The State Chronicle has a hand some picture of Henry Jerome Stockard, a poet of Alamance county, who has recently achieved some distinction. Big Tom Wilson, the mountaineer who discovered the body of Dr. Mitchell, in a pool of water on Mt. Mitchell, way hack in the fifties, has written an account of his exploit for the Asheville Citizeu. During a fire at Shelby Monday night, in which the tobacco factory of J. F. Bland and the dwelling of G. W. Webb were burned, Dr. J. J. Purcell, aged 75, dropped dead from heart disease. Rev. Mr. Jas. Needham, of Surry county, a gentleman 95 years of age, one day last week walked a distance of nine miles and preached a ser mon to his congregation. A rather remarkable instance of longevity coupled with physical and mental endurance. The removal of Trinity College, the division, of the" conference, the movement to take into this confer ence all the territory in this State, and the election of delegates to gen eral conference, are all matters of great interest to be attended to at the present conference. George P. Howell, of Goldsboro, and Robert P. Johnson, of Asheville, recent students of the University of North Carolina, are taking a very high stand in the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. Both are near the head of the class. It is thought that both will be among the first five, and that Howell has a good chance, at the end of' the year to be No. 1. Thirty more convicts were sent down to the Roanoke farm yester day, making fifty-five now at work there. One hundred acres 13 seeded in wheat, twenty-five acres in rye and twelve iu red top or annual clover, all doing, finely. The cou victs are quartered now in tents, but a saw mill has been purchased and put in operation and permanent quarters will at once be erected. WthlnKtn I.et'.er. From onr Itegnl.ir Correspondent. Washington', D. C, Nov. 25, '89. j Senator Far well's valise is missing and the news semh a terrific thrill through the Republican party in Il linois. The valise was first missed by the Senator after his arrival here last week. It is just an ordinary frame, seal club hag, known to the trade as a long 1, but inside its throbbing heart it contained about nineteen pounds of applications and endorsements for office that the Sen ator bad prohiised to file at once. There were hundreds of letters of endorsement in the lot that must have caused trouble and expense to secure. And jnit whose papers they were the Senator doe3 not know. He has no list of them and the human memory quails at the task of recol lecting them. He is fully aware that every man who has applied for office through him will fear that his papers were in the lot and will curse his luck, if he does not go further and attribute to the Senator conni vance with the thief who stole them. In the meantime the Senator feels as if the gods had visited upon him an u n deser ved cal amity. The Post this morning prints a classification by states of the proba ble first ballot in the Republican caucus tc elect a sie.ker. During;11'" the ast week the doubtful votes have been greatly decreased in number j One of the features of the contest during the last few oays has been thedwindling of Mr. Reed's strength in the West. While he still holds the lead as to the first ballot, the united attacks of the other candi dates have badly injured him. The loss of strength in the West is large- ly due to the fact that the r.ewspa - ners of that section are insisting np - on a Western speaker. And in this cry there is danger for Mr. McKin ley. The far Western men say "The East, New York, has the Vice-President; the Center, Indiana, the Pres ident; let the country west of the Mississippi have the third officer of the government." One is almost satisfied that Major McKinley's henchmen made si mistake in raisii!r! a sectional issue The Po.-t's estimate is as follows: Reed. 50; McKinley. -IT; Cannon, 34: Henderson, 13; Burrows, 12. The other 17 votes are held to be in doubt. These will, as a whole, go to the candidate who shows on the first ballot the best chance of winning. In this table Gen. Harrison is cred ited besides the solid vote of Iowa, with one vote from Missouri, one from Nebraska and one from South Dakota. lie himself does not. strange to say, claim them. His op ponents concede them. The situa tion is unique. The idea of a can didate who does not claim even what is conceded, bewilders one. Dr. Valenta, the Brazilian min ister, on Saturday urged upon the Secretary of State the suitability of formally recognizing the United States of Brazil, It is reporitd that our minister to Brazil, JiuIlto Adanu has already established rela tions with the new government. The conference was productive of no definite result. The State de partment will probably wait until the Brazilian Congress meets next month and elect a chief executive. That will be the formal organizing of a new government, and the State department is prone to regarel the present as only a transitory period. The reported recognition of the new government by the other South American republicans, together with the peaceful acquiescence of Dom Pedro, might impel an earlier recog nition. The greatest republic in the world should not be over cau tious in recognizing the Hag of a new republic. It may even he that an immediate recognition would cement the good fellowship that the Pan-American Congress has created. There could be no generosity of cordiality in recognizing the new government after its Congress has met and all is complete. A recognition now by this country would help the finances of Brazil. It would establish its credit. At least, so says the Bra zilian minister. He did not add that the International recognition we so eagerly sought for in 177G we are not so quick to accord to-day. The drowning of Midshipman Kirk the other day and the swim ming to shore of two landsmen re calls most forcibly the necessity of teaching swimming, at k :st to a sea man. Fully one third of our naval officers cannot swim a stroke. Whether from lack of training or from inability to learn is neither here nor there, the fact rmeains. They are as bad off as the colored boatmen and fisherman on the Poto mac. These people manage a small sail boat instinctively from infancy and yet never learn to swim. It makes them cautious however, and if they tell you it is safe to go out for a sail you may be sure no signs of storm are visible. Two of the coons that post master Brady put into the Charlotte office have been arrested for tampering with the mails and robbing registered packages. They won't do. CORRESPONDENCE. Utile Riiirnto Hem. Little Uuftalo was higher on the 17th than it has oeen for a longtime. The bird hunters are playing havoc with the birds on rainy days. Mr. A. M. Nussman netted 39 in a few hour3 drive. Mr. A M. Nussman's child died on the 10th at 4 o'clock of membranous croup. The remains were interred in St. Stephens cemetery on the 18th. The second annual missionary sale will take place at Mt. Olivet on Monday the 25th, at St. Stephens on Wednesday the 29th, and at Bethel on Saturday the 30th. Wftruinsr Acalnst a Rook. Messrs. Editors: Allow me through your columns to give some warning to our people against a per nicious book that is finding exten sive circulation amongst us through the labors of an agent named Wolfe. The book is "Bible Readings for the Home circle." There is a great deal in it that is very objectionable. It teaches heresy with reference to the Sabbath day, the eternal pun ishment of the wicked, the condition of the righteous dead, and, to Pedo- Baptists, it has the objection of be- out and out immersionist I'osUca this, a good part of the book is utter trasli about the interpreta tion of 'times and seasons." Money spent in it is worse than thrown awav. lnere is as little tnat is really useful and helpful in it as in any book of its size and nature that can be found. The ageut seems to be also a mis sionary, and some have told me that jhe exalts his book to a higher place : than the Bible itself. I have been further informed, that he says it will be his effort to put a copy of it in every home in North Carolina, and that 800 copies have been sold between Salisbury and Charlotte. In my congregation, (Rocky River), though he has sold a great many copies, he has never, so far as I have enquired, mentioned those features. I take this means of warning anv others that may be in danger of be ing deceived by hnr-. Our secular papers would confer a favor upon the people if they would give some circulation to this notice. Re is taking a good d. al of money from them, and giving them in return a worthless book. He carries with him. as I understand, a recommenda tion from Rev. G. D. Parks, of the i Presbyterian church It seems im possible that Bro. Parks, unless un der some deception, could have commended such a book. I would warn against anotli2r book sold amongst us styled "The Bible Companion." It is full of higher criticism, infidelity, and not fit to have a place in any Christian home. Jxo. G. Axdersox, Pastor of Rocky River church. ! t lenr Creek Ilemt. John Kerr, Sr., has gone into the bee industry again. Esq. II. C. Coo'c killed a hog nine months old that weighed 19 lbs. Mr. Wolf was fiere last week tak ing orders for "Bible Readings for the Home Circle." Mr. W. T. Talbirt and family will move tomorrow to their new home near Concord. N. J. McManus has rented Wm. Hinson's saw mill. He is doing a rushing business. Mr. C. F. Threat seems to walk at least two inches taller because they have got a fine girl at his house. Rev. L. M. Brower will go to Conference next week; we hope to have him back on this circuit another vear. According to rumor Mr. Baxter Swearingen married to-day, 22ud, to Miss Stillwcll, of Hickory Grove vicinity. Mr. Philos Furr passed here to day en route for Charlotte, with a wagon load of "possums," thirty in number. Owing to much rain and high waters the Presiding Elder, Mr. Caraway did not fill his appointment at Bethel to day. Mr. Cicero Flow thinking he could ford Clear Creek Thursday was washed off his mule and had to swim for dear lie to keep his mule from drowning. We met with several ir.en in our travels last week, that had recently bought a sulky plow from the agent, Mr. Sells, and. they told us to please send Mr. Sells around to see them if we happened to meet up with him. Willie Hough, Robt. Klutts and sister spent a few days last week in Stanly, visiting relatives and friends. Bob says he saw a man shoot two wild geese at a distance of six hun dred yards, across Yadkin river. Since our last writing thi3 coun try has been Tisited with two big rains causing the creeks and rivu lets to grow out of all proportion. On last Thursday Clear Creek was almost as high as it ever gets and some of the bottom lands were in jured by washing. Several of our neighbors will at tend the Peachland Fair thi3 week and we suppose, from all accounts, they will enjoy themselves down there as well as derive some perma nent benefit from it. Notwithstanding the hard times there seems to be no diminution whatever in the lob.;ceo squirting propensity ; we can suffer our little ones to go bare footed till Christmas but can't let up on the quid. Dr. IL J. Caldwell Suva that col lections are harder to make this fall than usual, on account, we presume, of short crops and the most excellent health that seems to pre vail throughout the country. Peo ple ought to pay their faithful phy sician. Rev. T. J. Rodgers, who lives a few miles south of Monroe is visit ing his sister and brother-in-law. Mr. Rodgers filled Mr. Brower's pulpit Sunday at Bethel. Every one seemed to enjoy the discourse which was n able one for one so young in the ministry. Mr. Rodgers goes from here to Greensboro con ference. Last Saturday night some noc turnal imp broke in on J. C. Klutts' colony of bees and "toted" off the last bee hive he had. They took them a few hundred yards from the house, and, after killing the bees proceeded on their way with the honey, leaving the empty gums be hind. Mr. Klutts had very recently added, to his stock of bees a hive of bees that cost him eight dollars. Anybody that will do such a trick ought to be caught and threshed out of his breeches. Tbe Ieath of W. T. Dorteb. News & Observer. Again has the State to mourn the loss of one of her most eminent men eminent in talents in learning in that probity which marks the excel lent man and good citizen. William T. Dortch is no more. After a lin gering illness he expired Thursday night, passing away peacefully, at his home at Goldsboro. He was a man of mark a strong man, robust in frame and a robust in intellectual vigor. He was of high integrity, of kindly disposition and greatly es teemed by a wide circle of friends and admirers. For years he was the leading lawyer in that section of North Carolina in which he resided, attending many courts and the lead er of the bar in his entire circuit. Tbe Montgomery Ceontjr Gold Mlue. We have it from good authority that the recently reported remarka ble find of gold in Montgomery coun ty is not exaggerated. It is said to b undoubtedly the richest find ever discovered in America. The mine is located on land now in possession of Tebe Sanders, but it is said the title is in his brother's name, and Tebe is now in Texas look ing him up. We learn that a Mr. W. M. Carter, of Montgomery coun ty, also claims the land, und has for bidden Sanders working if, but the work is going on just the fame, and at last accounts three bushels of pnre gold had been taken out. About 35 hands are at work day and night, and occasionally one gets as much gold as he wants and quits work and starts out to enjoy his newly acquir ed riches. The mine is about eight miles from the celebrated Sam Christian mine, but is on the same range of mountains. It is situated very near the Worth mine, which at one time yielded very rich ore,' but has not been worked recently. Ex. A Horrible Death- Mocksville Times. On Friday, November 1st, Mr. S, P. Browning, generally known as "Teat" Browning, left the residence of Mr. W. F. McGnire, near Mocks- villle, where he was boarding, and went across Hunting creek to a distillery to get some whiskey. Browning did not return home that night, but no anxiety was felt about him, as often when he was drinking he would be away from home night after night, but would show up the next day. After being ..Isent about three days his friends became uneasy about him, fearing that some acci dent had befallen him, so search was made for the missing man, but he was not found until on Friday, the 8th, just one week from the time he left. When found, though he was in his right mind to some extent, he was perfectly helpless, and his life was nearly gone. All medical aid and assistance from friends possible was given him, but it wa3 too late, and before another day had passed his spirit had gone into the unknown future. It is supposed that after the un fortunate man got his jug filled with liquor he started, home but when he got to the creek he was too drunk to walk the unsafe crossing, so he took up his abode in the bot tom near the creek, where he re mained without food or water, until he was found just one week later, with a gallon jug and a quart bottle by his side.
