PITIFUL.
So Mr Oliver H Dockery has
declared himself a cand:date
for the Republican nomination
for Governor of North Carolina
in 1896 Well, that's right if
he wants it. And the Hons
Buck Kitchen and Spier Whit
akei have at once discovered
that the said Oliver H. Dockery
defeated Gov. Fotrle in 1888
but was cheated out of it.
What a wonderful discovery t
Are the Hons Buck and Spier
now repentive in sack cloth and
ashes 1
How pitiful. Such is like Rood
that comes too late. It is death
bed repentance, and we take
no stock in such for effective
results, and we fear these great
discoverers, have made their
great discovery just a little too
lale to go dntt'i. 'in hi to-y
alongside ot Ctui;ous, 1m
Gama, the Cabots and others
immortalized by other great
discoveries.
GREENVILLE NEEDS HIM ?
Did yon no t: the show!
Why yes! Did you stay to
the concert? Well, perhaps
you didn't. Well, you did.
And do you remember that
song by one as to what he would
do if he was "the Mayor of the
Town Think about that
song. You remember- it well
enough ?
Now don't say one word
about it ? This is just between
you and me me and you. A
mayor with that song as his
platform is just what Green
yille needs. And needs badly
too. Yes, sir, a mayor with
the principles of that song aa
his platform, and -those princi-
pies carried out, are what we
need. Such a mayor cold just
have a pic-nichere every day
(night.)
The London Times says : uIt is,
however, sad that the Duke should
have chosen -an American bride,
when there are so map English
girls equally charming and. of better
birth to be "found.7
It is sad to see so much money
of the American cash, the product
of hard work log people go oat to
support a broken down English aristocracy.
Tnz Supreme Court i ays the Ar
lington Committee are entitled to
no pay. That is good. When will
these three meet again ?
THE PRESS.
Nobth Carolina and especially
its Democracy are to be coagratula
ted upon the return of that "able
gentleman, fluent writer, patriotic
son and true Democrat, Capt. 8. A.
Ashe, who launches forth from Ral
eigh, into the tnrbuleut araof Jour
nalism, with himwlf at the helm,
The State, a bright, newy, attrac
tive and clean weekly, which is an
houor to North Carohra journal
ism and great credit to himPlf.
Capt. Ashe deserves and The Stats
is well worthy of the patronage of
thu rtkmi liar. U C.
The Morganton Herald is now
under the ownership and manage
ment of T. O. Cobb, so loo identi
fied with every interest of that pa
per. Mr. Cobb, who was foreman
and manager succeeds the Herald
Publishing Co., of which W. C. Er
wiu was president. It is a good pa
per and we wish it success.
The Wilmington Star has entered
its 29th volume. It is the oldest
daily in the Stati and there la none
that is sounder in principles,
straighter in Democracy, abler in it
editorials, or better all around.
'TnrUns Bit at Nsrth Carsllaa OlsUry.
'he Raleigh correspondent to the
liichaioud Dispatch wrote recently
that "a carious bit or North Caro
lina history" has just been brought
to light. He said that in 1860 a
meeting was held in Halifax coun
ty asking the French Emperor to
take North Carolina nnder his
wing. The Weldon. correspondent
to tht sarn paper some days after
wards wrote that he had made dili
gent inquiry and could learn noth
mg ot suuh a meeting in Halifax
connty.
Thr Democrat has learntd the
particulars of the convention ih
questiou and now gives it to the
public:
he convention was held on the
14tb of October, I860, at Hill,
f erry on Roanoke riyer, now the
littia town of Palmyra, about six
miles from Scotland Neck. It was
held near the point where Halilax.

tnree.ntrodree persons in . the con-
. v u an -a ay meet
ing with a big dinner and barbecue
Warren county was represented
with the counties already named.
There was a lively discussion over
S ?taof 'Options that were
offered. One set of resolutions was
to ?e .effect that North Carolina.

English government; and the otb-
v., urku Carolina rorm an al
