Messrs. IV G Means, Jonas
Cook and A B Young, of Cat
barrus ceurUy, cameo very ester
day as a commission appointed
by the Democratic executive
'committee of that county to
arrange a basis for the selection,
ot a State Senator from Ca
barrus. Under the new law,
Cabarrus and Mecklenburg are
in the same sentorial district,
and each county is entitled to a
Senator. The oath-bound pri
mary prevails in Mecklenburg.
The conference yesterday was to
give a clear light, to .Cabarrus;
The commissioners from the
neighboring counlv met the
n w w
members of the centrel com
mitteeof Mecklenburg and the
result was a very satisfactory
arrangement. Cabarrus, is to
proceed with her senatorial
nomination according to her old
plan and on the same basis that
existed when Cabarrus and
"Stanly counties divided senato
rial honors. The . following
paper was drawn up and signed:
We, the undersigned com
missioners on the part of the
Democrat'c executive committee
of Cabarrus county, and the
Democratic central committee of
Mecklenburg county, hereby
suggest the following arrange
ments in regard to selecting
the two State Senators allotted
to this district:
First: That the Democrats of
Cabarrus county shall select
one candidate for the State
Senate by any method they may
deem best.
Second: That the Democrats
of Mecklenburg county shall
select the other candidate for the
State Senate by any method
they may deem best.
Third: We recommend that
the Democratic county conven
tions of Mecklenburg and Cabar
rus counties ratify this action. ,

and Growth f the improved Order!
Rfid Men. ,
Col.. J T Anthony, of Char
lotte, met the improved Order
Red'Men,.fixJeen in number, and
a few citizens( Wednesday night
in the court house where he ad
dressed them on the origin, the
growth and the benefit of the
. -1 - i.
Order.
It is remembered that the Bos-
ton tea party were disguised as
Indians when they threw the tea
over board. This seems to have
been the incipiency of theOrder.
With, a spirit 1 of resistance to
British oppression the clique de
veloped into an Order of useful
ness, and it adopted a ritual,
pass words and grip and seryed
good purposes in our early his
tory. George "Washington, said
the speaker, was one of the first 1
officers in .the order. The good
effects were felt during the Rev
olutionary War and the war of
1812.
In 1832 the system was im
proved and added the word "Im
proved" to the name.
The Order has suffered much
at different stages and almost
became extinctat several periods.
It suffered prreat depression from
our Confederate war and even
n 1870 it numbered only about
hirty or forty thousand mem-
tiers, it nas now tatfen on new
ife and numbers 300,000 mem
bers.
He dwelled on the benefits of
secret co-operation through
which the order works and on
the orphanage feature.
The Colonel was disappointed
n having so small an audience.
The members arc a fine look
ing body of young men.
The Colonel said he hoped to
meet them again on somo future
occasion.
In the course of his remarks', v
the Colonel asked pardon for
personal reference to himself in
doing his first picket duty in the
Confederate service ncarthe ruins
of the old "church in which Poca
hontas was baptized a
member !
of the Christian church
Senator Pettus, of Alabama,
says thatthe secret of living j
long is to worlj. "I am eighty
oni," he adds, "and happy and
healthy as a boy. I notice that
all of my neighbors who got
rich and retired are dead. I
never got rich and newer retired.
The most' fatal disease I know of
is to quit work. It kills every
time.
Keep working and you'll
