Mr. Editor : I take it that one

that yon do as a moulder of pub-
lie opinion desires at all times to
eiye every one, howeror humble,
a fair deal in your paper. In the
Salisbury Watchman, of last week,
there appeared a certain question

Eard to the candidacy of Mr.
fitn'nlr 5ind mvaelf for ennntv
treasurer. If you will keep cool

of certain reports that had gained
currency. '
Yon, as a professional editor,
must admit that the language will
adroit ot no other construction.
The following queries were asked
aho, and 1 await an answer , from
them : "Did you know that the
Democrats were not in favor of
having a treasurer a few years
ago and brought suit to abolish
the office, yet they are now run
ning a man for this office ?" "Did
yon know that the Democrats
raised Kestler's bond to $66,000
in order to keep him out ?"
Mr. Swink says all the reports
are false except one. Iam not

the evidences in the matter look so
competent and -just. Report L

and admits that he paid no inter-

GR0CER5
Good Audiences Greet- Them ETery-
wherf.
It is very gratifying and shows
that a great deal of interest is being
taken in Democracy when a good
audience greets our speakers in the
different parts of the county. Pat
terson's mill and IJklt. Pleasant gave
them the largest audience?, but
their circumstances are different.
One of the bst of crowds in the
country attended Tuesday night at
Mt. Gilead, in No. 5 township. It
is hoped that a gqod crowd will also
meet them at Stalling6, school housa
on next Saturday night.
Yellow Fever Won't Down.
Yellow fever in Mississippi and
Lousiana is beyond the hope of be
ing suppressed till frost comes to
the re8CUQf , In Mississippi there are
said to have been up to date 470
cases with 36 deaths, which is a lit.
tie more than one death to 13 cases.
Tt is ouite disturbing to business
and mental tranquillity.
Congressman Wnlte Gets Gay
On last Saturday, Congre?man
Geo. H White, colored, attenHfd a
circus at Scotland Neck, and in
stead of taking a seat with the other
negroes, he went and seated himself
I . . . Is t i ; 1 .
on tne place preparea ior wnuo
Deoole. One of the managers of the
X
cirCus informed him that he would
man not ne to be talked to in
that manner, and informed the cir
cus man that he was a Congress
man. Rightfully this made no
difference, and a policeman was
called upon to deal with the negro.
However, , though, the negro took
his children and himself - out cf the
tent, very probably .feeling that his
standing was somewhat lower than
that of the circus man.
