One squeak, and then a dull thud;
a three-foot black snake with a large
rat in its vice-like coils had fallen
to the basement. His snakeship
soon considered the rat dead enough
to eat raw ; wberenpou he released
his montbhold on the rat's back
and seized its head, still maintain
ing the tensiun of his coils around
the rat's body. Then, little by
little, deglutition in the snake
consigned the rat to its last resting
place. The rpectators were high
ly delighted with this reptilian
performance, and the proposition to
kill the snake was stoutly rejected ;
for it seemed that the snake fur ex
celled any of the patent rat-traps in
handiness and ntility. Being al
lowed to crawl under cover unmo
lested, his snakeship, the very next
nij. bt, while all honest folks were in
Tain, paid his compliments to the
poultry yard, swallowed a goodly
number of eggs, and then left tbe
premises, once for all.

big as you is." That settled it.

The speaking in No. 11 township
wound up the cauvaes (Friday) with
a tolerably good crowd. Tbe an
nouncements were viry brief. Jur
before thi time for tbe announce
ments of the legislative nominees,
Mr. Sims arose and made an an
nouncemont much like the one he
bad been making in Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5. As was announced at the
first of the canvas, he stated in
No. 11 that he would not be a can
didate for tbe ttflioe of sheriff. A
good bit of lime was taken up in re
gard to that resolution of Septem
ber 19. Mr. Sims said of all lan.
guage be had ever heard, there was
none like that nttered by Mr. Mor
rison Caldwell against him in No. 4,
and that ever since then Mr. Cald
well has shunned him.
Bat why Mr. Caldwell did this,
be cannot understand, as he (Mr.
Siins) had done as much as any
moital man could do for him. lie
had also helped to get him here, and
he, accompanied by his deputy, tried
to get all cases from the jail they
could, and yet above all this Mr
Caldwell comes out and scores him
in a most rnde manner.
Mr, Caldwell then arose and ex
pressed bis great surprise at Mr.
Sims' remarks, and said that Mr
Sims charges too mocb against him
A little argument followed in regard
to one of the resolutions, but it
seemed that there was some misun
derBtacding as to which resolution
they were referring to. Mr. Cald
well, just before taking his Beat
said, in speaking of Mr. Tritchard,
that he had never, as did Mr.
Sims, ask Mr. Pritchard for the
pestofflce. Mr, Sims then made
few more remarks in the defense
of himself. Mr. Sims told one
connected with The Standard,
that he would tell us about that
postoflice matter in the future.
Mr. lineman then made a ehort
speech and announcement saying
that the little family quarrel jusl
passed would only make more votes
for them, illustrating it by some
little joke. lie stated at the last
that he was more than sure that be
would be elected on next Tuesday.
When questioned as to whether or
not he would support a gold standard
man for tbe United States Senate,
Mr. Uiloman failed to answer. Of
course he will.

on your ballots before they are deposited in the ballot-box, and I do so
tha mnr narnnstlv be.r.anHa I have now bofore-ine a printed baliot en
titled "Straight Populist Ticket," which has printod on it tho names of
only.the five Populist electors, when it snouia nave me names oi me
eleven Brvan fusion electors. This ticket has already been issued, and
circulated to decoive and mislead the voters, but by what authority or
whow I do not know. Is this a scheme of Mark Hanna? Remember
that trite old saying that "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,"

To the Votcre of Cabarrus
connty : As Chairman of the Po
pie Tarty of Cabarrus, I desire, to
state that the State and National
tickets sent me by Chairman Ilal. W
Ayer are now in my safe and that
they contain the eleven electors prt
eented by the Democratic and Popu
list parties, to wit: Locke Craig
and Robert B Davis, electors-at-
large; Ralph Uowland, of tbe 1st
district; II F Freeman, of 2nd dis
trict; 0 R Thomas, of the 3rd din
trict; W S Bailey, of the 4th dis

district; B F Keith, of the Cih dia.
trict; Theo F Kluttz, of the 7th dis.
trict; Tyre York, ef the 8th, arid E
D Gilmer, of the 9th district. This
is tbe ticket which I shall have
placed at every precinct in tLej
connty and it is the ticket for which
every true Populist will vote. As I
atatid in my appeal in the Vestibule
of October 28th 1890, to ecrath Dem
ocratic electors is to elect McKinley
aud I aguiu warn Popnlists not to
defeat Bryun by voting for only
Populist electors. I uiuke this
special plea Vcuse id has come to
my kuowledge through an official
circular issued by Chairuinn Ayer
and Chairman Manly that bogus
tickets are being circuliittd which
contain only the Populist electors.
This is a scheme to defeat liry-
an by playing upon the preju
dice of Populists, but this movement
is of a Kupublicnn side-show. There
is no patriotism iu it, but it is
another "game of politics," which I
repudiate and denounce as unworthy
of any man who claims to be a
Populist. The people ewnnot le
fooled by any such scheme. Lei. us

taking him in and sitting him down

Itr. H. II. Lewis on the Mltnitllou.
Dr. Richard II Lewis, of Raloigh,
was recently in Charlotte on pro
fessional business. Dr. Lewis is not
a politician, but is one of the best
posted men in the State, always in
terested in public questions. Dur
ing his stay in Charlotte, Dr. Lewis
talked with a friond who permitted
the Charlotte News to give tho
views expressed to him by Dr.
Lewis. He is quoted as saying :
"I am a gold standard man, but
there are some things more import
ant than adhering to that standard.
One of these things is the keeping
faith with one's party associates. A
citizen who goes into a caucad, con
vention or primary to determine
what icsue or what condidftto shall
be choaen for the party in the cam
paign, is under obligation if defeat
ed in his desires to stand by the
platform and nominees selected.
But I am a Bryan man for another
reason. I fee! thnt the cc.ir.try can
bottor stand a depreciated currency
than it can Ftand the election of a
candidate who, whatever his private
views may be, will owe his election
to tbe great bloated trusts and other
overgrown corporations, a man who
cannot ure his own independent
judgement, but who is alreidy the
recipient of personal benefits from
the very people to whom he will owe
his election, if he is elected. They
paid Mr. McKinley's debts. His
election would inaugurate the reign
of trusts and we do not know when
that reign would end." News and
Observer.

Charles Frederick, Crisp: In oue of
the countio8 of his district there
was a littlo weekly newspaper, to
which he faithfnlly subscribed.
When hii would come homo from
Waahicton ho always sought the

one of these ocuuaiong, meeting with
the editor, he bunded him a 5 bill

"I baA's misled three l8du.il of my
piper and I am sure I must be in
arrears. Take that aud e;ll it
square."
"But," said the ditor, nhe pater
is only one dollar a year, aud yeur
subscription won't tie out until Jac

"That's all right," replied Crisp,
"but you keep the money," and then
in a whisper: '1 never siw an editor
