when he told the people of Moore
county that, he had always been
a Unionist and opposed the war. It
so happened that the speech was
made under the verv tree under
which he had in lStl made a violent
secession speech to some of the very
men who were then listening to him
urging them to go with him into the
army
Colonel Waddell called the atten

We said (Gov.) Walker in his
speech at While Hill; this county
last year, declared that prohibition
ought not to be mixed with politics,
and the. knowing and fanatic editor

Walker didn't make such a state

editors need a code of good manners
at hand.

meeting will be called in a few days
to perfect the organization and
choose a name for the company. It
is a unique and happy idea, and
ought to be entered into by all the

afford healthful exercise as well as
pleasant pastime. Capt. Harrell says
the guns have already arrived and

"During a truce. in one of the great
European wars in the early part of
this century three crowned rulers
met at Tilsit, in Prussia. They rode
along the lines of the victorious
French army till Napoleon's eye was
arrested by the sight of a giant vete
ran in the ranks whose face had
been slashed diagonally by a mighty
sabre-stroke that left him hideous
but noble. 'Brother,' said he to the
Czar of Russia, 4whatdoTou think of
soldiers who can bear such wounds?'
'What do you think of soldiers who
can give them ?' said the Czar. Na
poleon did. not answer, but the sol
dier did. Memories that led him
back through all the battles of his
chief from Friedland to the Bridge
of Lodi, made him mutter, 'They are
all dead, all dead.'
uSo the old Democratic party, cut
and slashed in many a battle, beaten
but never subdued,defeated but never
discouraged, can look back through
the century, marking 'the rise and
fall of all political organizations that

a letter from Stanley county, written
by D. B. Tucker. Burt says Dock

is guessing about as wildly as he

would elect him clerk of the Supe

were 181 negroes. And our "Joker"

If the prosperity and growth are

railway station of a few years ago,
when they come in on the trains this
week and see our splendid city and
the enthusiasm of its citizens, and
the pride they take in its growth
and prosperity.
MR. DOCKERY'S WAY,
During the joint discussion be
tween Judge Fowle and Mr. Dockery
the latter did not dare to make the
charge against the Judge that he
was in any way implicated in the
special tax bond schemes of Little
lield and his gang. Mr. Dockery
knew if he made such a charge it
would be denied by Judge Fowle ;
and that he not only would deny it,
but would prove the charge to be
false and slanderous ; in fact Mr.
Dockery knew full well himself that
there would be no truth in such a
charge.
But see what Mr. Dockery does as

Abel Rippey, an old gentleman of
eighty years of age, who lived hear
McCrays, in Alamance county, came
to his death at the hands of his son
on Friday evening last, under cir
cumstances most appnlling. His
son Albert had been on a drunken
debauch for several months past,
and came home on Friday evening
last. After unhitching the horse
which he. had been driving, he
turned it into the corn field. The
old gentleman, on seeing wThat he
had done, came out and remonstrated
with him, and told him to go and
catch the horse and feed him at the
barn.
Albert was feeling his whiskey
considerably, ami became greatly
incensed at his father. He went into
the house and got his shot gun and
shot his father through the heart,
killing him instantly.
The murderer was soon arrested,
and is now in jail at Graham. We
learn there was some talk of ly nch
ing him.,. but presume it is not so.

Harrison in 1877.
Webster's Weekly.
The Hon. Leon C. "Bailey, one of
Indiana's State Senators and Dep
uty United States Attorney, has done
the country a service and won the
gratitude of all laboring men by
searching out the facts as to Gen.
Garrison's actions during the rail
road strikes of 1877. He has done
it with the patient thoroughness of
a trained lawyer and honest investi
gator, and has supported himself on
every point by conclusive evidence,
documentary and the affidavits of
reliable men. He has shown that
Harrison, while the attorney of a
railroad company, managed, by
keeping the fact quiet, to become
one of the citizens' committee to ar
bitrate with the strikers ; that while
Republicans like A. G. Porter and
Democrats like Governor Williams
were for peace, Harrison was for
shooting the strikers down, and tfrat
he organized a company for that
purpose.

j Some of the papers are alter Col.
Dockery with a uharp stick" for his
anti-prohibition proclivities, as evi
denced by the number of empty
whisky rlasks found in his:room at
Troy, Montgomery county, alter his
departure at the close of a recent
speaking.
Severer ammunition than that is
needed to bring down as tough a
bird as Col. Dockery. We do not
remember that he lias ever posed as
a pattern of morals, .and the Demo
cratic press can find in his political
record pure and simple countless
''true bills" against him as a dan
gerous citizen and unscrupulous pol
itician which will damn him in the
estimation of all honest men.
