OUR COUNTS CANDIDATES. Our count; candidates commenced their walk over the county at German ton last Monday. With an individual exception they have all gone through this exercise on a number of successful campaigns. Ih«y are all, with the individual exception, tried and exper ienced candidates for the offices" for which tbey have been respect.Tcly nomi nated. They "know tho ropes," and have been tried and not found wanting. There was much clamoring on the part of a portion of our people previous to the late Democratic county convention against tbo rc-noiuination of county officers who had been incumbents so long I that they have educated themselves into feeling that they have a right to their positions by the torco of usage aud custom, ' where the memory of man runneth not to the contiary.'' Indeed the Pajetterille Observer expressed it self so strongly on this matter as to say that in every section of every State of the South you may find "clerks who have kept the papers and great seal for ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five years; sheriffs, the custodians of the court-house and the keepers of the keys from middle to old age—and other eounty officials who have served the pttople from father to SOD and along through whole generations. The conse quences arc disastrous both to office holders and to people, for the reckoning comes at last. With no hint or insinu ation aa to political disloyalty or lack Of personal integrity, 'oonrt-houso rings' arc formed and must be finally disrupted, with many a violont wrench, orach heart-burning and often ruin to fMd Ben." There seems to be an iapression among a portion of our peo ple that the citizens of this community should share in the modest honors and jMnoloments of the offices pertaining to its eounty government, but the rigid application of the doctrine of rotation in office, or making of frequent, changes, tends to impair the efficiency of the ad ministration of public business. Our space is now up but we must add s few words. We have renominated tiiesc 1 candidates. Mow Ist us go te work and fo-eiect '.hern, W'a can secure this election if we will use sufficient effort. Let us be up, tbon, and at work for the cleetion of this county ticket Among a number of papers contribu ted by Rev. Dr. W. P. Harrison to the first number of the new series of ilie Soutfurn Melhodtst Rrmew is one on "The Evolution of Humau Life," in wbiob this sobolarly writer remarks "We do not like Webster's dic tionary, among other things, and we have recently enjoyed t thorough-thresh ing' that old Noah received at the hands ot one of our Southern Reviewers in 1880. * * But we have,) Webster m a standard authority among ns, and. •otwilhatanding bia abrurdihei and t'n consistencies, wo are compelled to spc'l woids aa he declares th«y must be spell ed. Aa to pronouncing them j to his dictation, we suppose that no mail living ovor did that." But Webster's dictionary of 1870 is « very much altered and improved dic tionary from that of Webster's of 1830. for example if we turn to the edition o! I IWto thi) word whippoorwill we find j wuir-ro-v11„ dCfinTfiorT tho note in brackets, —[Not WHDP-POOR-WILL]; but on referring to the edition of 1879 we find the biticketed Mause of IS 10 omitted. We prefer the spelling and pronun iationof Woroes'ers dictionary to that of Webster. His otyiuoloiy too uis better than that of the former editions of Webster, but the etymology of the current edition of Webster has been worked up by Dr Malm of Germany and may be said to equal that of Worcester's. Wo cannot discuss tho comparative merits of these dictionaries, however, without treating of orthography, pronunciation, and ety mology,which would require some three columns spice of this paper. Those who are interested in the subject may find the best review of these dictionaries that we have read in the Soul/iern Re. oiew, Baltimore some fifteen years ago, from the pen of late Prof. Haldeman of Pennsylvania, lie wns the best scien tiiie etymologist this country has produc ed, and at our suggestion be was chosen to fit tho honorary chair of comparative philology in the I'nivereily of Pennsyl vania. A S il Til KB N KAIL BOAI> SEN SATION. A telegram frjm Baltimore Oct. 7 says "It is prstty well understood in railroad t iieies, though the fact is not officially stated, that pi evident Gairett, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com pany, wil l'.: i-i Kurnpe perfected ar rangements for securing the funds nec essary for extending tho Shenandoah \ alley ra'lroad south to Pctwaoolti Ha., and that tho work is to be commenced within thirty days. The route is said to be ovor the old lino direct into Sal em, Vs., via li'ichanan thence south to tin famous Cranberry iron mines of North Carolina, Birmingham, Dalton, Ga., and to Penusacola. The object of extending so fur South is to get an open and direct route to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now blocked to the Baltimore nnd Ohio by tho Richmond and Danville syndicate, By agreement with large capitalists who are to locate fifteen or iporo blast furnaces at Birm ingham, Ala., an extension of the road will run through the Cranberry iron mines, where tho best ore is obtained for tbo manufacture of Bessemer steel. The new line, as is understood, in to be completed inside of two years, and is to • have all the Northern iron traffic of Birmingham, Ala., to the eastern mark ets, which trade alone will be a large feeder to the line." It is folly wc think to talk of com pleting a line of the length of that above described insido ef two years without the exigencies of the scheme arc t'o nded ly more imperat.ve than we should sup pose. TOBACCO TOE CROP, YKILD AND QUALITY GREAT LY INFERIOR TO THAT OF LAST YEAR. BALTIMORE, Ootobcr B.—The Baltic -moac Journal of commerrr will to mor tow publish pc;ial reports from the to bacco growing sections of Maryland, Virginia and North Carohaa as to inju ry to the crop by frost and probable yield as compared with last year. The- acreage this year is reported much less than the year 1885, and ow ing to unfavorable weather not much ov r a two-thirds crop had been expect ed prior to frost. While considerable of the crop had already been gathered the frost seriously damaged what was s ill in the fields, still further reducing the yield. In some instances the crop is stated as large as last year and the quality as good, but nearly all repo U | claim (ha', the yield will be much rodu ' cod, the estimates running fromouc- third to two-thirds of the crop, and with qual ity, especially in parts of North Caroli na and Virginia, very poor. In the great Dualiam (N. C.) district tho yield is estimated at not over forty per oent of lb' avcragd, and of very inferior grade. During the last month quite a good ly i.umber of our contemporaries have printed kindly and appreciative allu. sions to the nineteenth anniversary of the Wilmington .Morning Sitr. Of course such expressions most be very gratifying to the Editor of that journal as exhibiting a very marked dugoe of persona! regard for which he has rnada a acknowledgements in tbe columns of his paper. Frauklin said." Nothing gives an author so great a ploasore as to fiud his works ruspecfully quoted." The Editor of the Slur can verify this remark fronr the frequency with whioh its opinions aud commouts abc eopiod. Ralph P. Buxton has been put on the Republican tiekat for Chief Justice in the stead ot W. P. By nuui who declinod. STATE NEWS. | Now toliacoo wrappers have sold as j high as SOS a hundred at Oxford. There arc :2i3 convicts at the peni tentiary, auil 1013 at work on railroads or elsewhere. The building for the North Carolina Handle works, at Greensboro, is about finished and will begin work in a few days. Washington Progress: Our Prohi bition friends held their Congressional Convention in this town on Friday last and nominated Rev. G. D. Langston for congress. Tbev decided that the Democratic nominees for Senators would do naasably well. Jefferson Philoso]>hcr: Credit has well nigh ruined Ashe county. A load of crystal rock was hauled to Ma rion from the Walnut Hill neighborhood last week for shipment. One rock weighing 190 pounds brought $175, it is said. Beaufort Record: Dr. John W. San ders. the regular Dcmocratie nominee for the Senate in thts district, compris tho counties of Onslow, Jones and Car teret, will have a walk ovei in the dis trict. Independents anb sclf-constitu ted nominees must stand from under. Salem I'ress: S. Otho Wilson, the pru prietor of the Raleigh Nurseries, has in vented a tobacco stick and has applied tor a patent on it. By the use of this stick parties are not obliged to cut the whole stalk, but can Uko off the leaves as they ripen and preserve uniformity in the grades of tobacco, and save trou- I bie in handling the stalks. Wilmington Star: The mails are be coming more irregular. Wo sometimes get three papers at a time from bstb of the offices of the Ashcrille Citizen and . Idvance, and of the Purham Daily Re corder. There is no excuse whatever for such neglect. If thiegs do not meud the papers ought to demand an other Postmaster General and his As istant*. Our Southern exchanges gen srally aie very irregular, and the North cm mails are more irregular than form erly Hickory Tress. Two corps of engin o;r» »io at work milking surveys for an extension of the Noitbwestern North Carolitia Railroad iroui Winston to Wilkc b»ri>.

The survey fmui Saloin to Wilkesbero i now progressing is on what was called ' the Vaiik.n valley division extending westward friim Salem to the Tennessee line in the direction of Cumberland Gap.—REl-OUTEK-POST.) Charlotte Chronicle: Col. Rowland spoke at Huntersville yesterday. The Mugwump candidate was there also and had his little say. A gentleman who was present informs us that the In dependent candidate was a pigmy in be bauds of a giant. PIOTYILJ.I, October 6, 4 05 p. m.—Col. RovUnd lias just m ide his most eloquent speech of the campaign. He was listened to with marked atteution by a good crowd. Skinning isn't the word; he flajed his opponent. Ths Mecklenburg Colonel is backed. OUR ST »TE CONTEMPORARIES. Our erudite triend of the Danbnry lIKPOBTEB-PoaT oopies what tho Star said of Kmghts Templars, and says : "We consider the ase of the word Knights in ths expression Knights Temp'ar to be redundant. The word Templars of itself means s religions military order. The oorrect expression is 'Templars' or else 'Knights of the Temple.'" Doubtless well taken.—Wilmington Star. T.ie employment of the ci nvicts on the public highways of the counties in which they are convicted is the solution of two important questions—bow to im prove our roads without direct taxation and keep conviets trom competition with honest labor. Tho next Legislature will no doubt bo called upon to deal with this matter.— Oxfdrd Torchlight. Under the old law in North Carolina, there was practically no homcatead. Everybody was honest in the contrac tion of Aebts. and if any person WBS dis posed to evade the payment of honest debts then the law made bfin pay. When the debtor fell behind, his credi tors laid off a nominal ftmonnt of prop erty, amounting to something like fifty bushels of corn, fifty pounds of bacon, a wheel and cards, a bod for every two members of the family, Ac. The debt or then took the insolvent otth and ibat was the end of tho matter, lfihc debt or took any unfair or unlawful means to get his property out of his hands, or attempted to abscond, the creditor took I him with a caput satufacundum —pop- j hlarly ca. sa,, and landed him in jail until the law could take its course. As a result when a man contracted a debt he did so with the idea that be bad that debt to pay. And be paid it.
