Next Monday is the day for the town election, and in view of the fact that party lines are. so lightly regarded by many of our citizens in municipal contests, we append the following remarks from the Char lotte Chronicle and endorse every word of it. There is no sort of doubt that the pemocnitlc party of Rich mond county has been injured and weakened by the action of some of he Democrats in Rockingham who ignore party lines in the town elec tions. We hare heard country peo ple speak of it, and in terms far from complimentary to those who "bolt" the Democratio nominations. It is impossible that every man should get his personal -choice in candidates, but we have faith that , the conventipn which is to meet on Friday night will nominate a ticket that all can support. So far but lit tle interest has been manifested in "thecomins election legs than we ever knew ; but $ve hope and be lieve that the Democrats will appre ciate the becessity for preserving a compact organization even in the town election. To any who feel at all disposed to bolt we commend the following remark The Asheville Citizen has bolted the Democratic nomination for Mayor. Mi. Blanton received the nomination by a very larjie majori ty. Mr. G'udger, his leading oppo nent, made a speech in which he pledged his hearty support to Mr. Blanton. The Citizen in opposing Mr. Blanton says : "In municipal elections the Citi zen fails to see the necessity for drawing strict party lines : for this reason, it has refrained from saying fi word, pro or con, as to the con vention of lust night, preferring to on its course alter the candidates were nominated." Of Mr.' Blanton irj particular, the Citizen says: . ' "Mr. C. D. Blanton is a gentleman we believe, but one who has been but a short time in Asheville, has not had time to become identified in any ' decree with her public af-! While the negro exodus from the South is th question exciting sur prise an4 daily comment, here comes a Writer in Belford's Magi zine,May number, bemoaning the feet that the whites are leaving the South in surprising numbers and settlingin tW North and Northwest. He attributes the removal of so many whites to the antipathy cher ished by them against the possibili ty of having to live under negro rule in the South. To compensate for the removal of Southern whites, the writer says ap equivalent ipflux to the South from the whites of the North and East is going on, thus re versing conditions and making it . . . it 1 1 a. ; appear mat jNortnern enterprise, population and capital will eventu ally be the means of solving the "negro problem" in the South as to how, however, the writer does not venture to say. But the change of partners in the political dance in which the negro takes . part is cer tainly going on, says this writer, and predicts that "should the Republi can party remain in power, in fifty years not a Southern man or woman who can raise the-money to go East or West will be left on Southern soil." The fault of this writer lies in his alto gether mistaken premises, hence the conclusion must be false. A Case of Bigamy. T - ,-1 Esquire h. M."McAllisfer yester day bound over to court iii the sura of $50, A. Hon'eysutkier, to apswer the charge of bigamyl !Ih Septem ber 868, " ; Honeysucier ; married Jans - Hicks, of Cabarrus 'county. He afterwards' left her, and : mbved into this county, where - about 11 years after, he married Mattie Tay--lor. ' : - These facts Honeysucker admit ted, before the 'Squire, gpeakipg in uncomplimentary terms of his first wife. The weather rropbet, J. C. Baker, went on HoneysuckerVbond. It was Honeysucker's brother who preferred the charges af bigamy against him; . The brothers had a disagreement recently. They live near Esquire Hilton's in this county. Charlotte Chronicle. , Fearing too great a rush, we sup pose, is why the committee prepar ing for the University exercises in June have seen fit to advertise that only trustees and alumni will be ex pected as guests at the dinner to be given in the chapel on the 5th. We know several old students who spent some three years at the Hill as students but whose careers were cut short by the war. who were whetting their appetites for partici pation at one of the tables provided for their class-mates ; now, alas, their anticipated visit to the Hill this summer is postponed indefinitely lest they, while there, should have to indulge the unpleasant feeling that comes of not being, "invited.' Immediately after the formation of the English Salt Trust the mana gers of the combination raised the priceof salt in England about 200 per cent, and ,at the same time re duced the wages of their workmen. As this English ring is not protected by an import duty, its greed is re strained in some" measure- by the threatened importation of salt from other producing countries. If the nghsh lrust . can make bargains with the salt makers elsewhere, it can exact a high pront at norae without fear. It has already ahder- aken to make a kind of bargain with the stilt producers of the United States. The President of the Michi gan Salt Association will soon be on his way to England, where he pro- )0St?s to complete negotiations with the English Trust for a combination that shall include all the prominent salt makers of this countrv. New York Times. fairs,and we think he has not iven her voters sufficient evidence of his administrative ability to make it safe for them to place him in the important 'position of mayor." The Chronicle differs with the Citizen in regard to drawing strict party ijnes in municipal elections. If the lines are not drawn, there are chances that the Republicans will get control of the local government ; therefore, were the-Citizen's doctrine followed all over the State, it would jeopardize the Democratic party in the entire State. Local campaigns are the skirmishes of the general elections. Where the white race is threatened by negro domination in c:ase of Republican success, it is a grave danger to Democracy to yield an inch. If the Citizen is a Democratic pa per, it can have no legitimate excuse for bolting party nominations unless j,hey be made by fraud, or unless an unworthy man has secured thenom ination ; and in either case, the Ex ecutive Committee will call another convention. In Mr! Blanton's case. the Citizen does not allege that the nomination as obtained by un worthy means, nor does it charge, anything against Mr. Blanton's character; it even volunteers the statement: "Mr. C. D. Blanton is a gentleman, we believe." The reasons the Citizen gives for not supporting Mr. Blanton seem iMldly out of place in a city like Asheville tlmt like a mushroom has pprung up (altaost) in a single night. The Citizen says Mr. Blanton "has been but a short time in Asheville and elsewhere it says : "But we'be lieve in 'Americans ruling America,' and in-AshVillians' furnishing bur municipal bfBcers.' Surely the Cit izen can hot hope to build up Ashe ville on' sue,' i a principle as that. It is un-American and un-Demo-cratic. 'The Citizen finds" itself sadly v democratic mass-meeting in Ashe " vflle for the people of the. meeting thought thatj Mr. Blanton is hot only fit for the position, but fitter by a large majority fha,h any otherman presented tot ie nomination. . Only in so far as that the Citizen -is Ah able and1 inUuential'piper, and "jts policy might do. damage to the Pemocratic party and the buildinz i . ;rp .pi,xoiin var""Ra ciues, apes the - Qbronicle Uke issue with its abl ' " and generally faircontemporary.' i One edjoral, like that in' tUe Citi zen on Mr. Blanton as a new. comer, .should i beepme widely known, rould do more harm to 'this State Irr retarding! immigration than the' It looks like the management o the Washington Inaugural-Centen ulal ptri fjiiiianv;c nas in lfnl of a sort of exclusive ring. For in stance, among the women of note appointed to participate in . the grand quadrille, we fail to see the names of any Southern ladies. Even old Virginia, the birth-place and home of Washington, seems not to have been honored in the selections. This was too bad. RICHMOND TRAINING SCHOOL. ELLERBE SPRINGS, W..Cy " , : ' ieWIT'lV 7.'

Discoveries at Pompeii Some discoveries of great impor tance to archaeologists havejustbeen made at Pompeii on the site of the supposed Greek temple in the tri angular forum. Excavations wert being carried out there in the pres ence of Herr von Duhn, Professor of Archaeology at Heidelberg, and a party of students. The vases and other objects found prove that the so-called Temple of Hercules, hith erto supposed to belong to the Greek period GOO B.

I If there was no such thing as credit in merchandise there would not be so much difference in prices. It is by reason of credit that the ex tremes of high and low prices are found in merchandise. The man who sella on time must sell high so as to cover the losses sustained from those who never pay. He must even make the man who pays cash pay big profits for the reason that he must rely for success on those who pay. The greater the extent of credit the higher the prices for the risk is pro tionatelv increased. Take the risk all away trom merchandise, reduce it all to dollars and prices go away down. Now the extreme of panics, of failures and of compulsion to real ize spot cash at any cost is all brought about by reason of credit. So that the system of credit brings to the masses all the evils of high priced merchandise, making them pay aouole olten what they ought.

'Ssventsen People EUled. Hamilton, Oxt., April 28. A ter rible railroad accident occurred on the Grand Trunk near this city at 7 o'clock this morning. The St. Louis express jumped the track and ran into a water, tank. Two cars tel escoped and immediately took fire. All the dead, 17 in number, have been taken out. The only one iden tified was R. S. Gurney, of Chicago. He was instantly killed, but not burned. An Italian, name unknown, was also instantly killed. The other fifteen were burned beyond the pos sibility of identification. About 2CH were injured, but only one or two seriously. None of the train hands were killed, the " fireman being slightly burned and receiving a bad scalp wound. " FIV MORE,BODIES FOUND. Hamilton, Ont., April 29. The bodies of five more persons were found to-day among the ruins of yesterday's railway accident, mak ing the total of killed, and burned 25. Of this large number, only two have so far. been, identified : S, S. Gerney, of New York and R. J. Ederer, of New York. Fuller details of the accident de scribe it as the most sickening spec tacles ever witnessed in any such disaster. t i tm. An Impsrative Necessity.

It is learned that the sale of the large property at Southern Pines, which was taken by a wealthy syn dicate of Northern men was due to a singular cause. Three weeks ago two young men of fortune each with his attendant physician, were at Southern Pines. The physicians were sick too. They had been to Florida and other places. After a day at the Pines all said they had never felt such improvement. "Let us buy the place," said one. "And build a grand hotel." said the other. The doctors said they would under take to fill the hotel in thirty days after it was built. So there was a quick transaction. The property was bought and one of the largest hotels in the South will be built on it. It is said that work on thi 3 will begin so as to get it in shape for next winter.

' 15 East Trade St., CHARLOTTE, N. 07 WHAT XS SCROFULA It is that imparity in the blood, which, ac cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which .uses painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers In the eyes, ears, or nose, of tea causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesta tions usually ascribed to "humors;", which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from It. How Can It Be By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.- u My daughterMary was afflicted with scrof ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed In her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became a running sore for over three years.
