Mr. Dockery comes before the people asking them for their votes lie is the representative of the Re publican party in this State, and he says of himself that he is "the leader of the negro party." We first hear of Mr. Dockery in public life as a member of the legis lature in 1S5S and the only notori ety he gained as a legislator was by his ellorts to procure the passage of a 1 ill by that legislature, compell ing all free negroes to leave the State. lie had so little use for the negroes in any other condition than that of slaves that he was unwill ing for those who had" obtained their freedom through the kindness of their former masters to le al lowed to remain within the borders of the State. According to his idea, a free negro had no iellings for fam ily ties or associations of home that that ought to be respected, but they ought to be sent into exile. How ditierent are his feelings toward the free negro now ; Jie- had no need ot the free negro then, he owned a plenty of slaves now he has. great need of them, for by their votes only will he be enabled to become the Governor. of our State. If they could not vote he would have no more use for them nowr than he4iad in ISoS. The next we hear of Mr. Dockery is three years later, when making lire eating, blood-drinking, secession speeches to "the boys," urging them to go into the army with him, prom ising them to stay with them and take care of them. He did go w ith them, but he did not stay long enough to smell Yankee powder, lie soon got back to his home, where he staid the balance of the war, leaving the boys to do the lighting and keep the Yankees from freeing his negroes if they could. . . When the war was over, to the sur prise of everybody, especially to those 1 1 1 "1 ' ' 1 verv men wnom ne nau persuaueu 10 o out info the army with him, Mr. Dockery came into public life, as an old Union, man. Said he had alwavs jecn opposed to the war ; had never bought secession was right, and he lad the effrontery and the impudence to go into the presence of the very men' whom he had induced to join the Confederate army, and to whom he had made his red-hot secession speeches in 18G1, and ask them to vote for him as the Republican can didate for Congress, on the ground that he was an old Unionist, and had always opposed the secession of the State. ! Kevr since then he has been run ning for office and begging the peo ple of his county and district to vote for him, but only and since the force of an election in 1-SGS has he been able to induce a number, sufficient to elect him,' to give; him their votes.' They knew hini too well to be willing to trust him in ofiiie. To be not with honor save in his own country will do well enough for a prophet, but when it comes to -a politician, those wrho are not well acquainted with his character and his record will do well to inquire into his standing at home and. the estimation in which he is. held by those who have known him for a long time. If the people of the State adopt this rule and apply it to Mr. Dockery, they will reprudiate .him and once more retire him to private life. FOOTSTEPS OF .'ANGELS. When the hours of day-are numlerel, And the voices of the niht W;tke the hater soul that slumbered To a holy, calm delight; Ere the evening lamps are lighted, And, like phantoms grim and tall, Shadows from the litful forenight . . Dance upon the parlor wall ; Then the forms of the departed Knter at the open door ; ' The beloved, the true-hearted -Come to visit me once more. What pathos, in these words. Howr they sink into-the. heart of everyone who reads them. How many thousands of people, even those who have never read them, have experienced this holy calm delight, as they sit at eventide by the fitful firelight, half awake, half dreaming, picturing faces of absent ones in the glowing, ever-changing embers, or Watching the sparks as they lly upward, carrying 'bright messages of love -to d-eparted ones. How at this solemn, peaceful hour of the day, we sit alone 'in the gloaming, thinking of dear departed ones until the. scenes become so real that we can see the bright smile and cheery face of some dear little one we have long ago followed to the silent city of the dead. We can feel his soft arms around1 our neck as he nestles close to our bosom. Perhaps it is the vision of an aged parent, whom we have laid to rest, that comes to us ; we see the silvery hair and hear the voice of praise and encouragement, we feel the trem bling hand upon our head and the warm kiss of goodnight as we rise from our evening prayer at her knee, just as it used to happen years OUR EXCHANGES. Winston Republican: Fifty-one gov ernment distilleries are said to be running at present in Yadkin county. A new postoffice has been estab lished in this countv at and bv the name of Pfafltown. I -Wilmington Iteciew: Cleveland stock is above par. A rise of 10 per cent, is recorded' here. ; A bet was made tb-day, and the money was put up, of $-30 against 45 that Cleve land would be elected, j Wilmington Messenger : The Pen der Democracy are enthusiastic over the outlook in that county, and ex press confidence that they will carry the election for the National, State and county tickets in November. Wilson Advance: The tobacco in terest of this section is growing won derfully, and it is a paying crop. The Durham Exposition last week like everything that Durham has was a big successl Quite a large amount of sugar cane is being raised in this countv. We tried some of the syrup made from the cane a lew uays ago ana it was better than any we ever tasted be fore. Statesville Landmark: Two bets upon the result of the presidential election one of 8100 and one of $50, both even money have been made in Statesville this week. It is ru mored here this week and we give the report for what it is worth, that Mr. A. L. Holton, ot ladkin, is the custodian of the Morton boodle for this congressional district. He will have to let a good deal of it go in his own county if he expects to keep the Democrats from carrying it next month Wilmington Slar: Referring to the sensational story about a subtcrra nean river near Whiteville, which has. been, on its journalistic travels several weeks, the llecord pronounce it "huso lrom bcnnnin: to end.' ago. Perhaps' it is the image of that' be ing beauteous, who unto our youth was given, more than all things else to love us, 'but is now with us on earth no more, which comes to us; we sec her once more arrayed in the bridal dress as she stands by our side at the altar and pledges to us her love until death us do part, or we sec her -'bending over our first born with that heavenly smile upon her face as she listens to its innocent cooing; or may be she appears to us in the dark robes of mourning she wore the day on which she followed that dear little one to its last carhtly abode, and as this image lilts its sor rowing and grief stricken face to our view, we see pictured there hope and faith in Him, who hath said I am the life and the resurrection.. A Republican Lie Nailed." Twin-City Daily. A gentleman wrote a letter to Mr. II. W. Fries, Sr., of Salem, stating that a rumor was current in lower Forsyth and upper Davidson coun ties1 to the eilect - that Mr. Fries had stated that if the Mills tariff bill be came a law he would either have to shut down his cotton, factory or re duce the wages of the operatives one- hall. Mr. Fries authorizes The Daily to state that the report is a full-grown lie ; that he never said anything of the kind. On the contrary he is heartily in favor of a revision of the tariff, as proposed in the Mills bill, and feels sure that the passage of that bill will prove ot lasting good to his tactory hands and workingmen generally. The negro desperado, Henry Duiilap, who made his escape from the county jail at Wadcsboro, on the ?t, shooting and badly wounding two prominent citi zens ot that place, was captured at Laurel Hill Church, last Monday at ternoon, and lodged in, the Kocking- liamjail. Twin City Daily : A mysterious murder occurred at Greensboro last night. About 0 "o'clock a negro wo man, accompanied by a man, was seen to pass the store of Mr. A. J Dudley. A few minutes later the wo man returned and as she stepped in to the store fell to the sidewalk, dead. Examination revealed the fact that she had been stabbed and had been bleeding profusely. No one ap peared to know anything about how7 she. received the wound, bu the ne gro man who was seen with her, Liggah Moore by name, has been arrested and is- in jail. The Difference. Stateville Landmark The people of Statesville have seen again this week a good result of Democratic administration of the national government.; Tn former times, during the sitting of the Fed eral Court here, the streets and ho tels swarmed with boisterous, swag gering, half-drunken revenue offi cers. Their insolence was a reproach to the government and their whole bearing an offence to every citizen who was obliged to come in contact with them. All that has passed away. A revenue officer attending court here now attracts no more attention and cannot be distinguised from any other-visitor. Verily the Democratic party has fulfilled the pledge that Mr. Liniiey made for it several years ago, when he said that. if it got in power it would "put better men in the offices."

Yester day, about 2 o'clock p. m., the house of Walter Porter, colored, was burned together with four small children. The father -was off at work, and the mother shut the children up in the house and went oil' to pick out cot ton. The house caught from the outside, and when assistance arrived it was too late to save the children, they being already dead. As to Pritehard. Statesville pemoerat. The young man who is running for Lieutenant-Governor of this State on tlieKepublican ticket was a revenue officer under Republican administra tion and toted a gun. He applied for a revenue oftice under the Cleve land administration, didn't get it, and now his righteous soul is vexed from day to-day, because the Demo crats don't abolish the; revenue.
