Several stores, the county jail and the office of the Clinton Caucasian (Marion Butler's paper) were destroyed.

The Sbelby Review says the fine sailing plant of Julins Stroup, lo cated just "over the line in Lincoln county, was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday evening of last week. The plant included flour, com, saw aud shitngle mills "nd cotton gin. P'our bales of cotton and one gin was ail tbat was aaved. The loss amounts to $4,000, with an insur ance. The fire originated in the engine room. The peopln greatly i-ympath;zi with Mr. Stroup in his Joss. The commissioners kindly released him from tax on the prop erty. Sheriff Nixon, of Liucoln coun ty, came down yesterday with two prisoners, John Smith aud George Blantoo, colored, who joined the number at the stockade later in the afternoon.

Thif, it will be seen, gives the county the beuefit of very cheap labor, Charlotte Obser ver. Superior Courc. We mteuded to publish this week the full proceedings of court, but onr time and space has been takeu up with other matter which is more important. The most important casewaa that of State against Bracket for murder. A good deal of interest centered on this case. Bracket was found guilty of manslaughter aud was eimtenced to county jail for G months. Tbe Judge extended this leniency because of tbe boy's youth, hnpiug he would reform and still ni ake a useful man, Mr. L. J. Huffstetler selling liquor unlawfully 9 cases.

WiU meet in the hall of the Knighty of Honor. J. M. Roberts, Ch'm Dem. Ex. Com. MR. PEELElt viTUDUAHS FR03I THE T1IIIID PART. Will Vote lor Cleveland. From The Slielby Review. Some weeks ago the People's par ty of Cleveland county in convention assembled, did me the honor to name me as their caudidate for sher iff. I feel deeply the honor that they did me and am grateful for it But a careful study of the political situation leads mete withdraw from the race, aud to return to the Dem ocratic party. It is but just 1 1 those who honored me with the noinihas tion that I should state frankly my reasons for this action and I do so, as briefly as possible, as foliows : 1st. I remember the condition of North Carolina and her people in the dark days irom '08 '76 ; how the State's credit was bankrupted her treasury plundered; the rights of her citizens shamelessly and wantonly trampled under foot; cap ital driven from her borders ; her matchless resources locked up ; the school fund taken to pay the per diem of ignorant and vicious men who loaded down tbe statute books with scandalous laws. I re member how in these dark days no mau's life, liberty or property wuh safe and there were no public schools for the education of our people. When I contrast this with the wise, pGre, economical, aud beneficent rule of the Democrats since '70, and see mar me itepntmcans are en deavoring to take advantage of the People's party movement and regain control of the State govern men r, I feel that it is my duty as a North Carolinian and a white man to with draw from the movement and join the Democratic party in its fight for the salvation ot the State. 2nd. 1 see clearly that the fight is between the Democratic aud Ron publicau parties. The People's party cannot hope to carry eithei tbe State or the National election. It might help the Repuplicaus win, and iu that event, I see a continu ance of the ills from which the ag ricultuial classes are now so grievi ously suffering; I see the force bill menacing the liber ties of my people ; I see the shadow of centralization threatening ; I see among the evils sure to fol!ow,iu the nation, laws per mittiug the inter-marriage of the races, m'xed schools, and in this State a repeal of the county govern . ment system and thirty-two of the. best counties ia ihe State surren dered to negro domination aud the horrors that will follow inevitably. 3rd. I have evidence of the uu holy trade that has been made by Butler and Exum to sell the State to the Republican for $50,000. I have the best reason to believe that a corrupt bargaiu exists between the leaders of the People's Party and the Republicans whereby the rank and file of tbe People's porty is be trayed into tiirtherio the plans of the Republican party. My heart ! revolts against sucn tteacnery and corruption, and 1 will riot allow ISyseii to be made a party to any such movement. 4th. I ani a white mat. I love my race, I believe in white suprem acy, and the iuterests ot my State and my people are far dearer to niela. m te sententious lauguagj. ! than the oface of sheriff , theretore ; I withdraw from the People's Party andamuo longer to be considered j , . faurft a candidate for the office of sher.fl. i I desire before I close to appeal to the good men who have allowed j themselves to be persuaded into the People's Party movement, to join lutein this wcno;. A thoughtful land paiiffaking rrvisw of the polit ic.il situation has convinced me ot the fact that by independent polit ical action at present we can expect nothing huf ;t continuance of Re, publican rule and that character of legislation of which we m justly complain. L?t us then, as true North Carolinians, join the Demo crats in fighting our common enemy the Rpublicau patty. As for myself I propose to vote the entire Democratic ticket lroin Grover Cleveland down, and 1 hope that my friends will join me iu it. Respect fully, A. B. Pekler. October 10, 1892.

( Concluded from editorial page) their complaints are just, but what is the cause 1 I shall not stop to answer at length this question nor diecuss the remedy. Suffice it to ay all who admit there are wrongs which demand redress concede that so far as due to legislation at all they arise fiotn bad and unjust laws, not a single one of which was passed by the democratic party, and not a smgla one of which it has since its passage, had the power to is tiue at one time duiing the last thirty years we had the Seuate and the House, but not the Presi dency. It is also true that once duriug that time we had the PresiK dent and the House but nut. the Senate, At no time during this long period have we held control o? all ihe three Jaw miking branches of the government to the end that we might pass a good law to repeal a bad one. Ou tbe other hand, at all ti.ues duriug this period the re publican party has been able either to pass such la's as it approved or protect from repeal such as it had already enacted - Uuder these circumstances who ia responsible for tbe existence or con tinuance of thee wrongs? The democratic party, which admits their existence, defines the cause, 8tate8 lbe remedies and pr imisea to apply them so soou as it is able, or tbe the republican party, v,-h.ich after having produced them denies their existence, aud to all the lam- entations of the people answer only, "Tho laws we have given you are good and just ,r and, in confirmation, 0f President Harrison, "tiehold prosperous peopie upon whom rests tne blessings of God f I leave vou to answer at the polls .q NoVHUlber Toe democratic party in this struggles as always, relies solely hut confidently upon the unfaitiDg pat-ii liotisia ot iho g...d p!. ot North o them i -y Hid theii li e lyt' ojio.i. l; ajn.u-.ji-stal'd ' hci )!
