Looks Like a Fight Between Them Butler Charges Pritchard With Hav ing Changed His Views on the Fi nancial Question Tells Him Plainly that He Has Deserted the; Cause of the People. Elliot City, N. C, Nov. 14, '96. Hon. J. C. Pritchard, Marshall, N C. "Dear Sir: Yours of November 8th, asking whether or not I favored your election to the Senate received. Who shall be Senator is a matter to be determined by a majority of the mem bers of the next Legislature, but if I were a member of that body I rould not vote for any man Senator who favored the U -. 1 1 i .. goiu sianuaru, or wnose position on the financial question (so vital to the welfare of our people), was uncertain or equivocal. "When you were elected to the Sen ate two years ago, you were as out spoken and as strong for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as I or any one else. Yuu condemned the gold standard as one of the greatest curse, to our people and our country, you condemned Cleve land's financial policy; and especially Carlisle's policy in redeeming Treas ury notes in gold alone. But to-day Senator John Sherman, the arch leader of the British gold conspiracy, says that their hope ot capturing the next United States Senate for the gold stand ard depends upon getting a Senator of their way of thinking from both Ken tucky and North Carolina. It is un derstood that they want to elect Car lisle from Kentucky and you from North Carolina. Therefore, I take it that you are no longer for the free and unlimited coiuge of silver, at the ratio f 16 to 1, but if you are, then Sher man and Mark Hanna must be de ceived as to your position. "Besides, if you have been correctly reported by the newspapers, you have in some of your speeches admitted that you have radically changed your views on the financial question which question is at all times the most important and vital one in this or any other govern ment, and which is especially so at this time in the United States. Again, you had published in the Winston Repub lican a few months ago a statement of your great change on the money ques tion. The article, which the editor said he was authorized to publish, and which you have never corrected, stated that you would vole for the free coin age until March 4th, next, because you were pledged to do so, but that after j then you would become a 'sound mon ey' man. "Thus it seems clear that jou have decided to desert the people in this great struggle against the money pow er, and have gone over to the side of the money changers, who bleed and oppress the people. "There is no longer ai.y half way or straddling ground in this contest. Every man in Congress will have to vote for the free coinage of silver and more full legal lender money for the people, or he will vote with the bankers, bond holders, speculators and gold gamblers who live and grow rich by making money dearer and scarcer. If this is our position, then no member of the Legislature who is not himself a gold bug, can vote to send you to the Sen ate. You certainly cannot expect the vote of any Populist, neither can you expect the vote of any silver Republi can, for when )our State convention passed a resolution approving your course you had not given public no tice that you had changed your views. "Every man has a right to change his views on the money question, or other questions, whenever he has rea- -,,;:. r., ,1 ; u... l 1 . auua auuiv-itm iui uuiug au, uui ut; hub people of his State refuse to change their views because he changes his. i "Having radically changed your . , -. i i - j position Oil the mOSt Vital 1SSUC before , , ItheCOUIltry tO-day, and HOW holding , .1 . new views in couiorinity witn inose 01 Sherman and Mark Hanna, you would not represent the sentiments ana in the sentiments and terests of the people of Notth Corolina in the United States Senate any more than did Senator Ransom after he changed his views on the money ques tion to conform with the views of Cleveland and Carlisle. "One vote may determine the posi tion of the next United States Senate or the money question. In fact, if you are elected, or any man holding the new and foreign views you have adopted, it will almost surely give the bankers, bondholders and gold trust one majority in that body, and com plete control of every branch of the Government and this probably the reason why that class of men are now showing so much interest and anxiety about your election. It is absolutely necessary for the people to hold the United States Sen ate in order to check the further schemes of the monopolists and con- tractionisls. To rjotms u is ucccasaiv for North Carolina to send a free coin age anti-monopoly men to the Senate. Therefore, I favor the election wno holds the same views on the financial question that you held before you changed. "Yours respectfully, "Marion Butler.'

There are others! THE FARMERS' FRIEND. D. Y. Cooper, Henderson, N.'C. Monday afternoon the editor was in Henderson and walked into the ware house of Mr. I). Y. Cooper, and found the imiucnte floor space full of bright tobacco. The sale was spirited aud the bids of the buyers were piled upon each other in rapid succession. It was rather a surprise to us to see such a large break on Monday, but it is un derstood that D. Y. Cooper will sell the farmers' tobacco and and get them the cream of the market ou all grades. Of course we found the live Dave Cooper, who is the prince of ware housemen, at the head of the sales. Full of energy as he always is for as fortunate as he has been in making money, he still sticks to his occupa tion and looks closely and attentively after the interest of his patrons. As much as he sells he don't overlook a pile however small or humble, the far mer who sells it on his floor. This is one of the secrets of his great success. He attends closely to his business and the wants of his custo mers. His warehouse is large and commodious and conveniently arranged for showing oil' the farmer's tobacco to the very best advantage. Dave Cooper, as everybody calls him, is doiug an immense business, as his sales of leaf tobacco greatly exceed those of any warehouseman in the State, aud his patrons are found all over different parts of North Carolina, as well as many parts of Virginia and South Caroliua, showing that while he is at the head of the largest warehouse business he understands keeping cus tomers by getting them the highest market prices. Sellers need not go in person if they ship him their tobacco, for I). Y. Cooper will see that they get full market value for their consign ments. Oxford Public Ledger, 19th.

These are relative terms, a nd the difference between the two is very small when properly estimated. A man feels as uncomfortable who has eaten too much as the fellow who is hungry. I had rather go ragged than over dressed. I had rather have no money than to have a barrel of money on top uf me mashing the life out of me.

Hap piness consists in what we are and what we do for others. Misery is the result of selfishness, and a tramp can be as selfish as a millionaire, or both can be generous and good. All the poor would like to be rich. Many of the rich envy the poor the happiness, the appetite and the power to sleep which is the heritage of the poor man.

The homes of want and poverty have produced a large majority of the greatest and the best of both men and women. Every boy in America be tween the ages of 16 and 25 needs a very poor father, a father who cannot help him at all, but a father whom he must help. Then you put the pressure on the boy and develop him into a grand man. It is the nature of man to lie down and take it easy when you pension him. Very few men have enjoyed th?ir wealth. A very wealthy man once replied to a neighbor who told him that his son would spend his money faster than he had made it: "Well," said the wealthy man, "if my son enjoys spending it as much as I enjoy making it he will have a good time while it lasts." But very few men can really say that they enjoyed the drudgery, the toil and the applica tion which produce a fortune. Making money, saving money and giving money are three fine arts. The two first are of earth earthly. The third, giving monty, is of Heaven, Heavenly. The poor would give much if they could. The rich do not understand the continued poverty of the poor. The poor do not see how the rich could have gathered what they have without the hog in their nature pre dominating. I have been as poor as a dog and scarcely had anything I wanted. I have been where if I had a want that money could buy I did not know what it was. I was as happy wanting everything as I have been having all I wanted. What a man has or has not has about as little to do with his happiness as the dog star has to do with the tide. I know many very poor people who are very happy. I know some rich people who are happy. I know some of both classes who are everlastingly miserable. Anybody can be rich if thev will meet the conditions on which j riches are gathered. Pat said that h ! got rich by doing without the thitfgs he was just obliged to have. Anybody can be poor if they will meet the con ditions of poverty. If you want to get rich as you go and save as you go. If you want to be poor go in debt and stay in debt until you get to where it is against your interest to pay the prin cipal, and finally get to where it is against your principle to pay the in terest. Then move out to the poor house and die. Greed and avarice will despoil 'any happiness is built, and with ut them no man can be happy long. . A negro or poor white man enjoys his corn bread and fat meat on his old pine table with tin plates and tin cups as much as any millionaire ever enjoyed the luxuries of his French cook and silver service. A poor white man will sleep as soundly on his shuck mattress as the millionaire ever slept upon his downy bed. If a man has nothing, nobody bothers him. It is harder for a rich man to keep what he has than it was for him to make it. A million aire could give away';his fortune in a day, if every appeal was liberally re sponded to."?: If the poor had to carry the burdens of the "rich they would Disputed Informed. anything else on earth. throw down their riches with their bur dens and say: "Give me first estate. The gain is not worth a candle." Good health, a good conscience and an upright life are worth a thousand times more than the wealth gained at the sacrifice of honor, bv the ruin of health and the sullying of conscience. When I look back over the past quar ter of a century I can see where, pinched by poverty and oppressed by want, no luxury ever came to me. Since then I have seen the time when I had all the money I wanted; ami if I were asked which is the best estate, upon my honor I would say I had a thousand times less cares when I had least. Poverty is like Josh Billings said tight bo. its were. He said thev were a luxury; they make a man for get all about the rest of his troubles. When a man is poor he has all his troubles in one, as a rule. Poor peo ple don't have to get off to the springs and health resorts every summer for their health. Poor people are not troubled with their rich kin visiting them and worrying them. Poor peo ple have to move often, but they don't have much to move. Poor people are never burglarized nor robbed. No body wants what they have. They can go to sleep at night with every door open and every window up. The sun does not slight them by day nor the moon by night. Poor people don't have nervous troubles, sleepless nights, and weary days. Poor people are not troubled with bank accounts and bills payable and bills receivable. Really, they seem to be troubled with only one thing and that is their poverty. St. James was truly wise when he said: "They that will be rich fall into temp tation and snares and pierce them selves through with many sorrows." The nervous strains, the watchful anx iety, the rise and fall in values, the leakage and shrinkage, the rust and moths and thieves all play upon the rich. Hence the Bible says: "Lay- not up for yourselves riches on earth J where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal." j And there is not a piece of property under the sun that one of these three 1 things is not constantly at work upon. Everything that a man 1 has in this 1 world is subject either to thel Ravages 1! of moth or rust, or the onslaught of 1 thieves. The rich and the poor ought to be in deeper sympathy with one another. The fellow who eats much ought to divide more liberally with him who has nothing to eat. The woman of good fortune had better give het last winter's cloak to the shivering widow than have the moths eat it up. In our debating societies when I was a boy we used to get up the question of which affords the greatest happiness, pursuit or possession. Some dogs had rather run a rabbit than to eat him after they catch him. With the gout on the one side and starvation on the other; with luxuries for some and wants for others; with wrecked health aud ruined nervous systems for the rich, and the power to enjoy all things without possessing the things you would enjoy with the poor I say it is a question a philosopher might well hesitate to answer, which is the worst, wealth or want? I would rather strike the'golden mean and be long to the middle class, not pinched by want nor surfeited with.; wealth, where manhood has its higher play and character and conscience have the field. HARRIS, GOOCH & CO. Up to Date Warehousemen in Hender son. It is hardly necessary for us to say a word in praise ot Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co. as warehousemen or as business men. They rank strictly first either in handling the farmers' tobacco or their large private business interests outside of the warehouse department. The members of the firm are noted for their high integrity and fair dealing. What they say goes all right, aud their patrons have implicit confidence in whatever they tell them. With ample capital, accomodating spirit, a clear knowledge of their business and industrious habits this firm is one that has always won success in the past, and is all the time winning more and more reputation. Harris, Gooch & Co. are recognized as justly entitled to rauk iu the front of the warehousemen iu the State. They have found it necessary to en large their warehouse, and if they con tinue to grow in the future as they have in the past it will not be many years before they will have to enlarge their accomodations still further. It is a great thing to have a good warehouse with a good light aud Harris. Gooch & Co. have it. We direct the special attention of our farmers to their large adtertise meut in this issue of the Public Ledger aud ask them to remember this liberal firm when they 6tart to market with their tobacco, and they will be sure to get top notch prices tor all grades put on the floor of the liberal firm of Harris, Gooch & Co., Henderson.

The world is not so much in need of better preaching as it is of better practice. If the devil had to travel with un covered face, only devils would follow him. Holding on to anv kind ot a sin will sooner or later cause us to give up Christ. When a wise man and a tool are thrown together the fool does all th talking. A good man will not camp all night on ground that he does not know to be safe. People who have never found out that they have any faults have no true friends. One way of hiding our light under a bushel is to keep your church letter in your trunk. Every step a good man takes tells s ine sinner that he ought to behave himself. Not to preach so that somebody will want to knov Christ is to fail to preach the gospel. Every man should remember that other people are setting" their watches by his clock. Too many are ready to shut up the Bible and Quit whenever a famine comes in sight. God does not trust important mat ters to people who have no business of their own to attend to. If men had the power to call for fire lrom heaven the world would have been destroyed long ago. God's law is that unless a man will do good with his money he cannot get any lasting good out of it himself. "Dearest, if I were far, far away could you still love me?" Why Reggy, what a question!

I ,, . . 1 a viii tiic ihi i vi aiw i w vwuv & ofEmotions.'and are Therefore Not as Safe Guides as Reason Prov ides And Yet the Best Men Allow Their Impulses Some. Play. Generous impulses are only varie ties of good intentions, and, like like the latter, are of value only when I acted upon. Great numbers of people who do nothing for their fellow-men have at times generous impulses, but control them. . Moved by some story of distress or inspired by the good work done by a public institution, they resolve to devote a part of their means to the relief ot the distressed or the promotion of charity. They feel better for the impulse and not infre quently gain in their own estimation because they have been moved to do good. But they delay action until their ardor has cooled off and then they begin to seek excuses for not car rying out their generous intentions. Sometimes they will go so far as to withdraw a subscription or break a promise rather than carry out a gen erous impulse. It is, of course, desi rable to keep all impulses under the control of reason. Figuratively speaking,they come from the heart or are the "product of emotions, and are, therefore, not as safe guides as 'reasori'provides, and yet the best men allow their impulses some play. They are'generally right, in direction at least.'and need onlv o be kept in check by prudence. The cupidity of men is often exhibited by , u A: . 1 ..f .1 1. men icpcuidiiic in generous uceus. One curious instance was exhibited in little town where the chief land owner set aside what was at the lime a useless block of ground for a public square. It had required no great sac rifice on his part to become a public benefactor, and he enjoyed the dis tinction it gave him. But he i'auite nnocently)neglected the little4formal- lty of transferring the title of the property to the borough. He had said it was to be a public nark and that seemed to be sufficient. In the course of a few years, however, land began to appreciate in value, about the park, ami the value of the public ground became so great that he could not resist the temptation to sell it, and thus the park disappeared, and with it his generous impulse. Scores of men volunteer to do some public work without pay, and after the first flush of generous impulse has passed away begin to think how they can make their labor turn to their per sonal account. The commonest form of this strangling of a generous impulse is where directors of a charity begin by doing work for it without charge, then charge for supplies and labor at cost, then add a profit and end by vir tually robbing the charity through ex tortion. Very lew who end in this way start with any intention to do wrong. Their first inspiration is a generous impulse of which they repent. A well-governed man does not re press his generous impulses, nor does lie allow himself to be carried away by them. He gives them due considera tion, and when he finds that he can follow them he does so with no thought of turning back. -It is not proj er, per haps, to examine in specific cases the motives that inspire generous deeds, but it may be observed in general that they are sometimes dictated by vanity or the desire for notoriety. They may not for that reason be any less beneficiaPto the subjects of such generosity, and, therefore, it would be unwise to condemn one who is moved to help others by motives that are deemed unwi rthy, but each man can mould his own character so that the generous impulses he may have may not have a selfish inspira tion. To do so he must u.ingle with his fellowmen and cultivate his sym pathies so that his heart will be quickly responsive to cries of distress or ap peals f r help. That is the only way to buy happiness with money. It cannot le bought, like gros-.cr things, with money alone; but in great abun dance with money that is given away from pure and generous motives, guided by sound mmisc and reason. Unprevarieated Proverbs (Boston Home Journal.) Nothing is si disagreeable as trying to kill time in a town so small that any one taking a walk must return by the same road he went. Before marriage the man thinks a great deal about the girl rneeter. After marriage ii's the gis meter that occu pies his attention. The man who wants a wife while he is married to a woman is about the poorest man alive. Lots of men like their music to te like the hush which falls upon the house when the baby goes to sleep. We are commanded to forgive our enemies but not to make friends of them. The man who runs after two hares often comes home feeling as if he had been snatched baldheaded. Emerson says all mankind loves a lover. That may be true, but wide ob servation has taught us that the love of all mankind is very poor soothing- 1 syrup so long as one little snip of a j seventeen-year-old girl says that she jean be to him only a a sister.
