Two hands clasped 'neath a summer sky; No sound the tranquil bush to move. Save whispered word and low reply. The stars shone peacefully above The fragrant breezes wand'ringby. Two voices whispering of love. Two hands e'.asped 'neath the summer Fate's harsh degree compelled to prove. Two saddened voices breathed good-by, The halting footsteps doomed to rove,. The falt'ring tone the tear-dimmed eye. The sundered bonds so fondly wove The ling'ring clasp, the hopeless sigh, No sonnd the tranquil hush to move Save whispered word and low reply. Oh, mystery of life and love! Oh, life, now brief, and then to die. Oh, love, and what remains to prove The memory of a severed tie. A stone o'er hands that cannot move, A voice that connot make reply; The stars shine peacefully above. The fragrant breezes wander by. MY FRIEND A WORD WITH YOU. Do you know that every man desires to vote at this election,, register anew? Even if you registered and voted before, must register again under the who must have you new Election Law to vote this year. Dou you want the Republicans to carry the election and have your neighbors arrested and put in jail as in 1868-89? If not, register and vote the democratic ticket. Dou you wish the negro to get con trol of your county and State? If not, register and vote lor the Demo cratic nomineess. Do you not know that eyery ne gro in the State will register and vote? Then so must every white MAN. Do you want negro Yankee soldiers with drawn bayonets to meet you at the polls and dictate to you how to vote ? If not, be sure your name is on the registration books, and do not fail to vote the straight Democratic ticket. You can't register after Oct. 24th so register at once. Don't say you have not time take time your hap piness depends on it ; the good name and prosperity of your State de ends on it. Don't wait. Delay may cost the defeat of the party. All Democratic japers will please copy and keep at the head of the col umn of eaeh issue until after the elec tion. Ed Chambers Smith, Chm'n Dem. State Ex. Com. DFATH OF A REMARKABLE MAN. Baltimore, Oct. 7th. Prof. John H- Hewitt, an able and prolific writer, died here to-day, aged ninety years, from the effect of a fall received two years or more ago. His father was a leading musician of his time and came to America in 1794. He entered West Point Academy in 18 1 8 with the rank of second Lieu tenant of Cavalry. Not being satis fied with the rank, Hewitt resigned immediately. He then came South, studied law and later resumed the the study of medicine, settling finally in Augusta, Ga. While in Greenville, S. C, he edited the Greenville Repub lic, the first paper issued there. He was called to Boston by the fatal ill ness of his father and there married Estelle Mangum, daughter of the Spanish Consul. In 1825 he came to Baltimore. While editor of " the Minerva, here Edgar Allan Poe pub lished his "Al Alsaraif," "Tamerlane" and minor poems. He severely criti cized the volume and always felt that Poe's dislike for him was due to that criticism. The proprietors of The Visitor here subsequently offered premiums of $100 and $50 respective ly for the best story and poem. Hewitt was editor of the paper at the time and resolved to compete anonymously for the second prize. Poe's tale of "A Manuscript found in a Bottle," re ceived the first premium. There were two poems selected from the fourscore offered. These were "The Coliseum," by Poe, and "The Song of the Wind," by Hewitt. The judges decided that Hewitt should receive the prize for the Poem. Poe was dis pleased and ill feeling towards Hewitt was confirmed. He passed the period of the civil war in the South. Hewitt has been called "the father of the American Ballard." Hewitt saw Ful ton's first steamboat on the Hudson river, was present when the first dis patch was sent over Morse's line between Baltimore and ton and was a passenger on telegraph first train of cars drawn by a locomotive that left Baltimore.

REKQUra REPUBLICANS. FKANCI8 I. WINSTON, KSQ., op berths coujrry, Declines the Republican Nomi nation for Superior Court Judge, and Severs His Connec tion With that Party -A Manly and Patriotic Letter Setting Forth His Keasons for So Doing. Raleigh News and Observer. We take great, pleasure in -printing the letter from Mr. Frank D. Winston to Chairman Eaves - dedininglto ac cept the nomination for Judge at the hands of the Republican party, and announcing his purpose to vote the Democratic ticket. The withdrawal from the Republican party of Mr. Win ston itself would be significant, but the reasons given for his action are still more noteworthy. The letter states the reasons, and they are such as make it plain that Mr. Winston, in following the dictates of his conscience, fully appre ciates the political situation, ana sees the dire necessity of every patriotic man at the South severing his con nection with the Republican organ iza tion. The letter is manly and to the point. It strikes the nail on the head. Mr. Winston has been honored by party ; was its nominee for high his sta tion ; and yet in the presence of people of his State, he sacrifices the his personal ambition and throws what influence he can command in favor of the peace, good order and security of his people. We are glad that he has taken this course. , We are glad to see him join those other patriotic men who have recently abandoned the Republican party, driven from it by the exeess of the Republican leaders srch men as Leonidas J. Moore, Wm. A. Guth rie, Neil McKay, Wesley Whitaker, &c, &c. j And in this case it is peculiarly J gratifying to us, and will be to a host persons throughout the State who will be rejoiced to know that Mr. Winston is to hereafter co-operate with the Democratic party. Windsor, N. C, Oct. 2 1890. J. B. Eaves, Esq., Chairman Republi can State Committee, Raletgh, N. C. Dear Sir : At the convention of the Republicans of the Second Judi cial District in Rockv Mount, I was nomniated for Judge of this district. The Republican State Convention ratified that nomination. Although grateful for this expression of confi dence on the part of so large a number of my fellow-citizens, yet I cannot ac cept the nomination. I notify you in order that your ebmniittee may tike the necessary steps to fill this vacancy on your State ticket. The tendencies of the Republican party are such as to alarm every man who places the permanent welfare of his country above tempoary party advantage. The National House of Representatives, abandoning all pre tense to calm, wise and impartial de liberation, has repressed free speech, free inquiry and free discussion, has appointed the Speaker and the Clerk a permanent returning board for the counting of votes, who do vote, and enacted legislation involving hun dreds of millions of dollars without condescending to justify or even ex cuse its oppression and without allow ing inquiry to be made or discussion to be had concerning its justice or propriety. The methods that have prevailed in that body during the past ten months belong rather to a packed convention of political partisans held in a corner grogery than to the high est deliberative assembly of a free and intelligent nation. It is doubt ful whether the legislature of any civilized people on earth has transact ed public business in the year 1890 with so little ragard for the rights of speech and discussion, or for the real interests of the people, as the present Congress. It abolished parlamentary rights that were observed during the passion and turmoil of civil war and the reconstruction period, and it has imposed taxes which not even the necessity of the war required. New States have been admitted into the Union with a smaller population than one of our Congressioal districts; but the votes of their Senators in the United States Congress were thought necessary to establish the vicious leg islation and perpetuate the power of a selfish and insatiable oligarchy of mil lionaire manufacturers. Sectionalism has been revived in its most odious shape. Every Southern industry has been taxed that could be separated from the industries of the North. On the tie that binds South ern cotton the tax has been trebled ; the twine that binds Western wheat has been almost freed from taxation. Southern Democratic "Senators vote to relieve the western laborer of unjust burdens, while Western Republican ; Senators vote to increase the unjust burden upon Southern labor. Such is their idea of statesmanship ! When asked to explain the inconsistency of their votes, theyt laugh in their sleeves, or justify their" extortion by crying "Rebel." Government is becoming a game of plunder and the methods of the men who control the Republican majority are partly ; the : methods oi highwaymen and pardy the "methods of sneak thieves. A half-clad negro in the Southern cotton fields is good plunder for the millionaire philan thropist who needs protection. Robin Hood was more humane. In their de sire to oppress and plunder the South ern people they are willing to keep in poverty and even to destroy the poor, helpless, ignorant negro. What a parody and a satire for such men to advocats a Force bill for the benefit of the negro ! There is in this Force bill some deveKsh desig n to involve the country in disorder, possibly to force a war jf racest and by this bricked expedient to divert public attention i torn the game of? plunder, which they are playing with such boldness and recklessness. No same man believes that the bill will add to the political power of the negro, or will increase his opportunities for wealth, education, moral culture.or happiness. The leaders of the Republican party seem to have abandoned the wise, liberal and progressivejpolicy inaugur ated by Garfield and happily carried forward by Arthur and Cleveland. It required but little statesmanship to continue this policy and to give the entire country a period of material development and of progress in educa tion, refinement and culture such as the world has never seen before. The present administratsou has deliberately chosen to go back twenty years in our political life, and it is endeavoring to reverse the painfully wrought results of the strusreles of those twentv vears results in the main wholesome and J j beneficent. To begin these struggles anew will retard the now rapid devel- opment of wealth, education and re finement in the South, will inflame race passion and prejudice, will re open the healing wounds of war, and will bring only disaster upon the negro race. No good results of any sort can possibly come from this mad polit ical scheme ; but, if carried through, it will contribute largely to the final overthrow of popular elections and popular government. I shall not follow such leaders or such counsels. As a citizen of the Union, loving its Constitution and history ; as a Southern man, believing ! uncontaminated by sectional malevo in fairness and justice to all sections ! lence. But the great need of the and races; as a friend of the negro, j Southern farmer, in the present emer desiring his intellectual, moral and j gency is self reliance. God has given financial improvment as the proper j us a magnificent country. Our fields basis of social and political power; , bring forth abundantly, and our barns and, finally, as a self-respecting man, I shall not be a Republican candidate for any office ; but shall vote the entire Democratic ticket, congressional, State and county. The election of that ticket will be the best for the people of North Carolina, both white and black. It will also be a wholesome rebuke to the men who are using the national government for purposes of plunder ; whose professions of love for free speech and a fair count are belied by their daily practices in the halls of Congress, and by their systematic pur chase of votes in all close elections ; whose disregard of the true interests of the negro is shown by the passage of laws that will raise the price of every thing the negro buys and lower the price of everything he sells , and who imagine that blatant philanthropy and braying patriotism will serve as a dis guise for their wicked schemes. Very respectfully, Francis D. Winston. : CALL. FOR CONVENTION Of Young: Men's Christian Asso ciation Workers for the Third North Carolina District, AT HENDERSON, N.

New Berne Journal. j Nothing; is more essential to success m life than self-reliance. . It is the very essence of manhood. -; ,x : The school boy whd has no bonfi dence in himself,butJ goes for assist ance the moment a difficult problem is presented can never become a scholar. The city that puts forth no effort;-of its . .... . . own, but waits tor distant communities to come and lav their treasure in its up, can never become a commercial emporium. Admitting that self-reliance is nec- cessary to success in all avocations and among all people, it is pre-eminently true that the South has been thrown back upon her own resources and her sons made, the arbiters of their own fortunes. The Federal Government sees fit to oppress labor everywhere, but nowhere is oppression so grievous as at the 1 bouth. Not content with an attempt to - " humiliate her by denying to her equali- ty in the Union not satisfied with driv- ing her representatives from the halls of Congress and giviner their seats to i aliens who are hostile to her rights. 1 w ' i she is compelled to furnish the means for defrayingnhe expense of the Ad- ministration by which she is oppressed, i . No man can deny that agriculture is more heavily taxed, by present laws, than any other industrial pursuits and it is established beyond controversy that the department of agriculture peculiar to the South is especially burdened. What is to lie rinne to mpet this . - - . condition of affairs? Shall we resort to the hovrot ? Not as that term i usually eumloved. but we mav make new commercial alliances, and trans act our business through channels un obstructed by hostile legislation and are overtlowiug with golden grain. By diversifying labor our resources can be quadrupled, and want, in any of its hideous forms, be a stranger at our gates. North Carolina can be an empire within herself. " With her own marts of commerce ; her own furnaces ; her own manuiactures ; her own neids ; her own vines and fig trees ; her print ing presses ; her schools and colleges, her temples and her shrines, with none to molest or make her afraid. Reverencing the Constitution and obeying the laws, out people may re ly upon themselves to achieve a high and glorious destiny. DEATH OF ONE OF NATURE'S NO BLEMEN. Thomas W.

Halifax never had a no bler man born within her borders, and Christianity has rarely had such an exemplar.- The late Rev. Dr. Dru ry Lacy once said to us that "take him all and in all he had never known Mr. Harris's equal." He was a man of large fortune before the war, owned until recently the famous Pana cea Springs, was an alumnus of the University of North Carolina, profess- ed faith in Christ while a student and reading the Prodigal Son as recorded by Luke, united with the Methodists, was lor more than hlty-hve years a Stuard on of Roanoke circuit, lived a Godly life, and has gone to Heaven. I In all his life this writer never had a dearer friend. A world of Thomas W. Harris' would be more than an Lden. The postmaster at Halifax, wife of a negro named Davis, is short in her accounts $ i, qoo. The woman it is said is not to blame. Her husband, who was assistant postmaster, managed the office entirely, received all monies. Congressman Cheat'em's appointees, about whom he boasts so with the color ed people, are like himself, short and growing shorter. Tarboro Southerner. The woTk of harnessing Niagara has begun.

"God Made the Country, and Man j Makes the. Towns." r New Berne Journal.! j "God made the country, and man, makes the towns." The words we have quoted are, in a sense, true, but they may. be construed so as to be misleading. k It is so arranged, in the divine economy, that man is a co-laborer with God in His physical and moral universe. Even in the plan of re demption, man ia an honored instru ment in winning souls from earth to heaven. The country is the realm of fields, orchards and meadows.

But the thought that inspired us when we first touched this page with our pencil was the relation that town and country sustained to each other. The idea that there is a natural an tagonism between country and town cannot he sustained neither by the iog;r 0f schools nor the sterner logic facts. Thev are parts ot the same I . body. The hands cannot say to the feet "we have no need of thee," neither can the feet say to the hands, "we are independent of you." Upon the faithful performances of the func tions of all its members depends the health of the body. That part of the country possesses the highest value that is contiguous to town. The nearness to market, the ; number of persons near at hand in need of country products these are some of the reasons why lands in the vicinitv of towns are more valuable than those more remote. The advantages are not on the side of either country or town. Benefits are mutual, and courtesies and favors should be, and usually are, reciprocal. , ' t , . v' fr.m I jne IUWU mibl U1AH i3 auuptiwa wiu the country, and that town is a long ways from the highways of progress that does not offer inducements to tne surrounding country to bring in its produce and exchange it for merchan dise. There is no greater fallacy than that which assumes a necessary antago nism between the different vocations in lite, une iarmer may wine iu competition with another farmer, but there can be no competition between a. merchant and a farmer. 1 ney are mutually dependent on each other, and the prosperity of one is a benefit to the other.
