J THE MOEG ANTON STAEjfiud that public sentiment is in fa T. G. Cobb, Editor and Prop'r. B. A. Cobb, Business Manager. FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1886. Entered at the Post-office at Alorganton as second -class matter. Subscription Price, - $1.00. Advertising contracts made at the office of Thk Slab. SENATORIAL AND LEGISLA TIVE TIMBER. We confess that it is rather pre mature to commence the agitation of the coming campaign, nor do we intend this as a campaign article j but in view of the fact that within the next eight months senators and membersf the legislature are to be elected, and business of great im portance will be before these bodies, it is all important that we send bur best and wisest men, and much sound, unprejudiced delibera tion should be had by the people in the election of the right men to fill these positions. We venture to mention the names of a few gentle men from Burke that, if elected, would fill these important positions with honor to themselves and re flect much credit upon our county. FOE THE SENATE, Capt. J. Cl Mill, who is ever loyal to his party j is a hard worker in very campaign, and did much val uable service while a Senator a few years ago. While the question of the Western Insane Asylum was before the Senate his influence, in connection with. Col. Tate's in the House, secured its location at Mor ganton. This important trust would also be safe if intrusted to Mr. B. A. Berry, who is a man of sound judgement and broad views and would look well to the people's in terest. Mr. L. F. Warlick would also reflect credit upon our county as a Senator. He is certainly a success as a farmer and business man, which is a' good criterian that he would favor wholesome laws. FOE THE LEGISLATURE. With the high esteem that Mr. Horace W. Connelly is held by the people of this county, his fine busi ness qualifications and general in formation, would fitly qualify him for a member Mr. R. N. Kincaid also has all the necessary attain ments for an acceptable member, and if nominated would be sure of flection. Capt. W. M. Winters would be a hard worker and would leave no stone unturned while the people's interest was intrusted to his care, Capt. N. P. Beck would make a zealous member and use every effort to represent his people faithfully and honestly. Prof. W. E. Abernethy is a young man of learning and tallent and would be heard on all important subjects and guard well the interest of the peo ple if intrusted to his care. We have never approached eith er of the above named gentlemen to know whether or not they would accept the nominations, but pre sume they are loyal men, and if a majority ,of the people say they are their choice to represent them, they ' will not refuse, even if it would be a sacrifice. And if eith er of these gentlemen are nominat ed by the regular Democratic Con tention, the Stab will stand by and hartily support them. XOCAL OPTION. Township by township are fall ing into line and petitioning the commissioners to grant elections to put down the sale of the accursed stuff -whiskey, not only in Burke, but all over the State, beginning at the' Capital and extending to the Utmost borders. See orders grant ed, in other .column, for two town ships at last meeting. And the -beauty of these local option elec tions is, that politics does not enter the raceit Is between the good, moral, christian men of both polit ical parties on one side and the ; whiskey-sellers and disturbers of the peace on the other. Let the gooa wor go on. if the Govern meht and some of our leading noli ticians are afraid to tackle this Knotty subject for fear it would p?6ve unpopular, the people Tare not, and they gay the evil must be put down, and when the npnniA rise m their might we may look for a general turninc about : and whfin the men who oppose this measure vor ot the whiskey tratic being called to a hault, how soon they will select a text that will do for a foundation to preach a temperance sermon from and actual become zealous and eloquent in defence of the cause. ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN. Proposed Railroads to Charlotte Liberal Subscription Pledged. We hope our people will read t he following carefully and thus see what other counties are doing to secure more railroads in their midst. The Charlotte Observer says: Quite a number of the prominent business men, members of the Chamber of Commerce, the mayor and nearly all the members of the board of aldermen, assembled last night at the room of the Chamber of Commerce, over the Merchant's and Farmer's National Bank, to discuss the question of extending aid to the pi'oposed Roanoke & Southern railroad; provided the management of the proposed road can be induced to come to Char lotte. The Shenandoah Valley division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad now terminates at Roanoke, former ly a mere wayside station on the East Tennessee & Virginia rail road, but now quite a flourishing little city, owing to the impetus given it by the advantages gained by the Shenandoah Valley road. A number of speeches were made by several . of the gentlemen pre sent, but Mr. R. Y. McAden, finally cut the Gordian Knot, by ottering a rosolution pledging the county ot Mecklenburg and the city of Char lotte to a "liberal" subscription, as an inducement for the Southern ex tension to come to Charlotte, on its way South. The resolution was amended half a dozen times and finally passed unanimously in the following shape : "Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting (Col. Wm. Johnston in the chair) appoint ten delegates to attend the railroad meeting at Roanoke Va., on the 20th of April, and that the said delegates are re quested to use every elfort to secure the location of this road to Char lotte, and "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the county of Mecklenburg and city of Charlotte subscribe two hundred thousand dollars to secure this end." The following named delegates were appointed under the resolu tions: 1. R. M. Oates, 2. J. W. Wadsworth, 3. Jno. Wilkes, 4. H. C. Eccles, 5. Wm. Johnston, 6. J. L. Brown, 7R.M. Miller, 8. H. Bariieh, 9. R. Y. McAden, 10. H. Watts, The Chamber of Commerce then appointed Dr. J. H. McAden and J. H. Weddington to represent the Chamber at the same meeting. Charlotte and Mecklenburg coun ty is now dotted all through with railroads, yet to encourage the building of another they are wil ling to vote two hundred thousand dollars more, and they will do it. while poor old Burke, with the finest opportunity she has ever had to secure, fifty miles of road right through the centre of the county, is humming and hawing, squealing and kicking because the live, pro pressive men of the county are ad vocating the appropriation of the small sum of forty-eight thousand dollars to secure the building ot a road through the county. How long, oh how long until our people will wake up to a sense of their duty and cut loose from these old fogy notions ; fall in with the' pro gressive ideas of the age ; get on the road that leads to prosperity and success. -The House should demand a report from the education commit tee on the Blair bill. That a meas ure fraught with such important consequences to the people should be delayed is bad enough, but, for it to be smothered in committee would be unpardonable. The Dem ocratic party of the South desires the passage of the bill and its wish es - should be heeded. If Demo vActtiu ungruasinen irom this sec tion fail to do their duty in the mat- A. I ier tuey must expect to take the consequences of such lack of . par ty fealty. Raleigh Observer. , u " ;An exchange wiselv rem art "Young man, it is a good thing to keep on the right side of your dol lar. . It makes- a great difference in your contort and prosperity whether you spend lr per cent, of 100 per cent, of it, but it is a posi tive insult to the dollar to spend 105 per cent of it. You will be sorry enough for it when the dollar gets a fair grip upon you. A dol lar represents a mortgage upon itself. It will never serve you cheerfully if you dispose of it be fore you get it." Judge John Baxter is dead. Judge Baxter was born in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee years ago and soon rose to promi nence. His life has been an event ful one. In his adopted State (Tenn.) he stood at the head of the list as a lawyer and judge. He was a man of no ordinary ability. His history would fill books. It is said by some of the ablest senators in Congress that Senator Vance, made the grandest speech of his life in the Senate last week on the Civil Service Reform question. It has produced quite a sensation all over the country. One hundred thousand copies of his speech were ordered to be i)rin'ted for distribution. Cleveland, county on the South and Mitchell county on the West are anxiously watching to see if Burke is alive to her interest enough to vote for the new railroad and bring thousands of money in her midst. If she does not, they will tell her to say "bah !" and get out to grazing in the old sage fields. The centre of the labor dis turbances has shifted from St. Louis to Northern Texas, but even at the latter point reason has ap parently resumed its throne and is bringing order again out of what at one time threatened to become the veriest chaos. The railroad election iwill come off the!15th of May. Let every body coairaence working in good earnest. The people want more railroads and more money and are willing to vote for the appropria tion if properly informed on-'- the subject. udge Bennette was the only K rth Carolina member who voted against the educational bill. CURRENT COMMENT,. We think if our farmer friends would begin with the spring of the year and note the cost of every crop they raise they will find, the idea a good one. Set down seed, labor, manure, implements, time oc cupied in raising the crop, and all the other items of expenses, includ ing the board of hands employed. By this means they will know whether they gain or lose on ' any given crop. Elizabeth Citu : Fal- The colored folks who have been thinking of going to Ka nsas will do well to note the fact that the color- ed citizens of that State are anxious to get away from the inhospitable regiou in which they live, prefer ring even Africa as a place of-residence, and are asking Congress to help them carry out their scheme of emigration. Raleigh Ifeics and Ob server. The chaplain of the House, in praying that the country might be relieved of gamesters, delivered his prayer .in the presence, and for the benefit of some of the most' accom plished gamesters in the ; laud. When a Congressman can't have his little game of power at night, he must gamble in stocks in the day. But the chaplain is a blind man, the eloquent Dr. Milburn, and doubtless he has never seen the artless ways of Congressmen. Petersburg Index-Appeal, Bern. George McNair, a negro boy six teen years of age, was Saturday sen tenced at Onslow court to be hanged May 7th at Jacksonville for murder. The rail will be laid on the Mur phy &, North Georgia railroad to withiu twenty-two, miles of Murphv by July 1st.. By January next the road will doubtless be completed to Murphy. .4 , The body of the woman who was recently drowned, with three men, in Tuckasegee river, was found where it had washed ashore, ten miles below Chirle&ton, Swain county, last Saturn day. LeUerfrom Lower Creek. Editor Jilorganton Star : It has ever been our motto to look at the bright side of things, and we intend still to observe this rule. We dou'i believ in crossing the river be fore we get to it. . There is plenty of tugging to do after you get into the water." Life is t o -hort, at b.-st, io be rotting and wearing ourseiv 8 out before hand. We think the le'" tor plan is to take things 'in a more quiet way ; aud as we travel along the journey, to enjoy all the good things of life, aud 'dodge as many of the b ui as we can. W e "should do all the good we can lor urselvs. and to our ueigbors ; try to mike our homes and all the soiroundiugs pleasant, aud let peace aud harmony be the watch-, word, and above all, not be unmind ful of Him who is the author of every good- and perK'Ct gift. We don't believe we committed a hu when we spoke on a firmer occish n of toe hills aud vales of old Burke in uch praise. We are still ready to raise our voice in her behalf, and il we are forced uow ami then lo wae warfare against tin- somuts ami briars and sasafras, we take th. m as t God send.

But we are not so fortunate io have a forerunm r, therefore willcn tent oui8eives in reading a small por tion of the book. Wecan console our ist-lves with tbe thought: 'tis betier to tike few pages and learn ti.em well, than to run over the entire im perfectly. Contentment is a great lessing, and bince we and ourra tions have thawed up, we are happy ; and now that oni.ms" and lettuce are c iming in, if you, Mr. Editor, don't come over, and our neighbors too. and help us thin them a little, we will be forced to ask the good Lrd to give us more appetite. And the turnip greens: if they don't stop growing so fast we are fe-irful that the juveniles of our household will quit singing "Oid Hundred" alto L-ether and go to imitating the young Kine. You may tell all of ynr readers that Lower Creek does not propose io lag uenina on the r'rohihnion question. If we can't agnt on the railroad, we art aliftost a unit on the liquor question.

Sold oy John Tull, Druggist, Morgauton, It is worth remembering that no body enjoys the nicest surroundings if in bad health. There are miserable peopl about to-day with one foot in the grave, to whom a bottle of Park er's Tonic, would do more good than all the doctors and medicines they have ever used. SPECIAL OFFKlt.
