A henibie i-ceno was pre?ebted to
the people of Ci:arlotte last ni(;bt,
ht.n the residence of Mr. Robert F
Davidson, on North Pine Htreot
near Eleventh street, was burned.
Mr. Davidson, Br., had stepped
across ibn street to attend to some
boHiiefS, and when going back to
bis homo he found it on Lire. Hit
son, Mr. Sam Davidson, was lying
ou the bed before the house caught,
Ht.it was unable to get cut. Hie
father, au aged man, was trying
toj(
f et bis eon out, when the Bremen
rescued birn, and cone.too boon, as
bis face is badly burned. The
young man's body was burned eo
much that nothing but the bones
remained.
Mr. Davidson was an exellent
school teacher, and liked by all who
knew him. He was about 50 years
of age.
To add to the sad story, the
father wan told by the firemen that
he must leave the building, and
that they would get bis eon out,
but it was irupoL'bble.
The cause of the fi.e is not defi
nitely knowD, two causes btiDj en
tertained. Some think that it was
caus d by the upaettiog of a lamp,
v, bile, others think that Mr. David
son bad Iain down on the bed with
a lighted cigar, and t'tat it had
caught tbe bed clothing.

At tbe recent meeting of the No
England Cotton Manufacturers'
.TsBociation iu Philadelphia, no pa
per attracted more attention than
i bat by Mr. Arthur Parkinson, lead
inj cotton manufacturer of Provi
dence, on "Tbe Manufacture and
Export of Cotton Goods."
Mr. Parkinson confessed that the
South poBseeses advantages for cot
ton manufactures with which it is
impossible for the New England
mills to compete.
He said : ' It is well-known tbat
southern manufacturers with the
present conditions can undersell or
compete easily with the eastern
mills od medium and course fibria?;
and the future looks dark for New
England.
"Asa result of this continued
competition in certain lines of goods
for the home market, the prices are
low, wages are low aaif tariff legis
lation cannot help matters, for the
merchant and jobber will buy in
be cheapest market, and that
means tbat southern looms will be
engaged ahead, and the New Eng
land mills must take what is left."
It is said that several of tbe New
Eagland cotton manufacturers who
are now visiting the South are on
tbe lookout for sites on which to
build cotton mills. The Yankee
has never been accused of blindness
to business opportunities, and the
fact that he sees in the South the
best of all regions for the manufac
ture of cotton is a sufficient guar
anty that he will take care to get
his share of tbe advantages offered

Homo Impnilent Trarnpt,
Yesterday (Thursday) when Mr,
T H Hall, who carries the mail for
tbe people of Forest Hill, was going
from tbe depot to Forest Hill, up the
railroad, he wa? tackled by some
tramps in a rather suepicieui way,
As he got near the Cannonville
switch be noticed five tramps lying
beside the railroad track, and when
he got ns ir them one of them cilled
to him to wait and continually tried
to sell him speo'aoles. Mr. Hall,
suspecting something wrong about
his action, remarked to .the man
that be did not care to be followed
any further by him, at which the
man stopped. Mr. Hall at onoe
notified policeman Penninger, and a
search was made for them, bnt tbey
had left town. Two were found
afterwards that seemed to be of the
gang, and they were sent out of town
immediately. As Mr. Hall says,
these fellows might not have meant
anything wrong, bat their actions
seemed rather suspicious
t'oafmaea Iler rrlme.
Mollie Traylor, tbe divorced wife

Talks with Demoorata in attend
ance npon the United States Court
from all parte of the ninth con
gressional district, indicate that
there is an overwhelming sentiment
in this part of the State in favor ol
making a straight fight for straight
Democracy ii next year's cam
paign, without combination, coali
tion, fusion or dickering with any
other party, or parties whatsoever.
With yery few exceptions the
Democracy of western North Care
lina undoubtedly favor this sort of
a fight, and should any other sort
be forced npon them it will be
fought with an apathy and lack ol
interest that will go far towards in
suring defeat.
Western Democracy has had a
sufficiency of dickering and trading.
Fusion has come to mean with
them not only the disreputable and
incompetent legislation, which has
characterized State affairs since
1895, but it Las gone further, and
has manifestly taught them an im
portant lesson in political ethics-
They have come to look npon
political trading as possible only at
the sacrifice of tbe political integri
ty. They have learned that politi
cians who will trade once, will trade
twice and tbat in the same cam
paign, and that it is the last trader
whose chance is best for an advan
tage.
Western Democrats favor making
our State fight on State issues, and
our national fight on national issues
and feel ready to meet any and all
comers on these issues before the
people from a strictly Democratic
standpoint. If Populists stand for
nothing but barter, and a division
of the spoils in North Carolina,
Western Democra'a certainly favor
allowing them to ply their trad
with some other organization.
If
they stand for clean, reputable an
economic government in North Car
olina affairs and for Democracy as
enunciated by the Chicago platform
in national affairs, North Carolina
Democracy will challenge their sup
port of its State and congressiona
candidates next year. If Populist
prejudice against Democracy is
stronger tban Populist desire for re
form, or change, from the present
condition in the State and nation,
they will refuse to support Demo
cratio candidates. If Populists in
the east prefer negro domination
and ignorance to intelligent white
control, they will not vote with tbe
Democrats. If Populists in pied
moot and the west desire the poli
oles of the Legislature of 1805 and
1897 carried out, rather than a re
turn to the economy and decency
which characterized the Legisla
tures proceeding those for 20 years,
they will not support Democratic
nominees.
Tbe lines are going to be eo dis
tinctly drawn tbat none need be
deceived as to where their duty lies.
And unless all signs fail, there
are many thousands of Populists in
western North Carolina who are not
only sick of fusion and its results in
the State, but equally so of McKin
levism and its results in tbe na
tion.
And all this means that North
Carolina is to be redeemed next
year. Asheville Citizen.
