Hammonds, Steelman & Co., and Isaac Williams, liquor dealers in the town of Laurinburg, was con sidered. The petition was in the nature of an agreement that they would not attempt to sell liquor after July let, 1890. From what we can understand of the matter, this peti tion was part of a sort of compro mise made by the prohibition ele ment of Laurinburg with the saloon keepers. When the board was ready to act on the petition two of the pe titions, Steelman & Co. and Isaac Williams, through their counsel, Messrs. John D. Shaw, Jr., and A. C. Shaw, moved to withdraw the pe tition, claiming that their signatures to the same were not their voluntary act but were obtained by threats and intimidation. As Hammond was not represented by counsel and made no objection to the petition it was granted as to him. As to the other petitioners, the matter was left for decision until the next meeting of the board. THE MAILS. Postoffice opens at 7 o'clock a.m. Mails going West on C. C. Railroad close at 6:3o p.

The re- ports from all the mills, considering unusually high prices paid for cot ton, were encouraging.

IfVt Eloped With a Negro Woman. A disreputable white man named Thomas, employed on the Crosland & Everett plantation in Wolf Pit. & deserted his family last week and ran off with a negro woman. Thev were in South Carolina at last ac counts. The deserted wife and chil dren took up abode with a relative Serious Accident, Thursday morning last, loth inst., a son of Mrs. J. D. Gurley, of Great Falls, had his hand crushed badly in the lapper of the mill. He had been cautioned about placing his hand on the roller but carelessly re peated the act, when the machine took it in with the result mention ed. Fortunately the operator threw off the belt and stopped the machine promptly, preventing a worse disas ter. The little fellow. 12 vears old. will probably lose his hand.

L.eak x nan nave ar ranged for plans to be submitted embracing a hotel, bank building, clothing store and drug store, all in one block, with the view of erecting the same this summer. Meantime the question of electric lights and water works for the town is being discussed among our citizens; and we believe the present season, with such an excellent board of town commissioners in office, will mark the dawn of a genuine boom in the way of public improvements. Rock ingham, never loud in pretensions, is determined to keep pace with the progressive age, and her manufact uring enterprises alone are sufficient to keep her abreast with the grow- ng towns or the otate. On the Bight Line. Correspondence of The Rocket, Messrs. Editors: The editorial in your last issue on "Centralization" was timely. It is a marked fact that the large mass of the people are ig norant or the Constitution under which our government was organ ized, and are equally as ignorant of the constitution of the State. They need instruction, and the newspa pers are the media through which they may be most effectually taught. lou are on the right line, and a se ries of articles on that subiect will do good. I feel verv well assured that there is virtue enough amongst the neonle to do rieht when thev know what the right is. The theory of our form of covernment hein? that all power originates from the people, because lodged irf them, ar gues the responsibility resting upon mem and the great necessity that they shall be well informed in all matters affecting the general good and the rights of all. Any legisla tion sectional in its nature or in the special interests of certain classes is against the letter and spirit of the Constitution and destructive of the best interests of the people, and if persisted in must ultimate in the destruction of our civil and religious liberties. It is the opinion of many of our wisest and best men that civil liberty in this land is now in peril as never before in the history of the country. No man who calmly and without party bias will read the his tory of the country for the last 25 or 30 years can fail to see that the opin ion is not lightly expressed. There is not a provision and safeguard of the Constitution that has not been kicked aside when standing in the way of party supremacy and success. Corruption has tound its way into the highest legislative halls and has tarnished the ermine of the judicia ry so that in many places the ad ministration of justice, so called, is a mere farce and a mockery. The rights of the people are ruthlessly trampled under foot. Under the specious and hypocritical cry of a "free ballot and a fair count"-crimes of a most heinous kind are enacted on all occasions. All this has ben and is being done by the party which now has control of the na tional government. The only hope is that the people will awake from their long sleep before their liberties re ail swept awav, ana nun the party into the depths of oblivion. Ins thev will do it the true status of affairs is L-roperly placed before hem. In reading Gibbon's "Rise and Fall"' I came across a statement that struck me with a great deal of force. as an expression of Artaxerxes, We regret that Mr. John Gardiner has seen fit to remove his citizenship to Georgia, whither he will go Mon day next to engage in business there, while his family go to New York on a visit to a relative prior to joining him in Georgia. Mr. G. is a typical Englishman, of which people we have only too few in our county and neighborhood. C. W. Worley, Esq., formerly fore man of The Rocket office, left on Tuesday morning last to take the position of foreman in-the Farmer and Scottish Chief office at Red Springs, N. C. Charley is no "scrub" nf a printer; on the contrary he is a first-class typo. We shall miss him, but hope that he will meet even greater prosperity in his new field. The Roberdel mill, the most mag nificent of all our cotton factories, started up its machinery on Monday last, after an enforced stoppage o two months or more. The new rock dam, constructed under the personal supervision of Robert L.Steele, Esq., the president of the company, is pronounced a superb structure. It is well laid in cement and is proof, it is believed, against storm and flood. A new damns being put in by the Great Falls Manufacturing Company ai me Olu JjaK mm reswrvuir an precaution against shortage of water which, it was feared, might occur during the summer by reason of in adequate rainfall in the season past. With the completion of this dam it is thought the supply of water will be sufficient, as the mill will be fed by one reiervoir on the north prong and two on the south prong of Fall ing Creek. For curs df rheumatism, neuralgia in its various phases of sciatica, tic douloureux, semi-crania, &c, use Salvation Oil, the greatest pain cure on earth. The great superiority of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup to all other cough remedies, i attested by the im mense demand for that old-estalisb-ed remedy.' Everybody should subscribe for the Rockingham Rocket. A Lady Assaulted. On Monday night last, about nine o'clock, while Mrs. Wm. Allen and daughter, of Pee Dee village, were going along Randolph street they met a negro man who sprang sud denly forward and seized the elder lady by the arm. She screamed loudly and her daughter likewise, whereupon the black fiend desisted and ran rapidly down the narrow street by Rev. Mr. 'Harrisons , to wards the creek. Fortunately Messrs Chailey Worley and John Terry were but a short distance off when they heard the outcry and saw the rascal run. Circumstances seemed to justify the suspicion at once tha one-arm John Leak was the dastard ly onender, and upon his appear ance down town he was promptly arrested and placed in jail. Th more charitable view placed upon his conduct is that he meant robbe ry, rs the lady had a" number bundles in her arms of goods just purchased at the stores, which, it i supposed, he thought she might drop in the excitement and he might grab and run. The accused was brought before the Mayor at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning for examination, but on account of the absence of some wit nesses the trial was postponed until yesterday at 10 o'clock too late for us to get the result for publication. Mr. Dave McDonald's horse, at tached to a one-horse wagon, ran away down in the Rocketts last Fri day, and in his wild flight ran into and smashed up a buggy in which was a negro woman who was badly but not seriously hurt. His Wife Suffered from Erysipelas. Mr. John O. Rogers, of Dana, Ill inois, writes as follows under date ot March 27, 1890: "My wife was for years an invalid from a blood trou ble, and suffered tsrribly at times from erysipelas. . She tried many remedies advertised as blood puri fiers, but received-no benefit. A few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) cured her of erysipelas and other blood troubles. : From the fir3t her appetite increased, and her general health improved in every way. She considers S. S. S. the best blood pur ifier and tonic she ever saw, and is willing for any one suffering as she was to be. referred to her. His Blood Poisoned by Cow Itch. About five years ago my blood was poisoned with cow itch, and ev ery spring since then I have been troubled with the poison breaking out in large sores all over my body. I tried various remedies without re ceiving any benefits. Three bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S) effected a complete and permanent cure, when all other blood remedies had failed. R. L.

The dainties known as "preserved violets," for which the feminine folk pay exorbitant prices, are easily and simply made. Boil one pound of loaf sugar in as much water as it will absorb until, when dropped in to cold water, it becomes hard and brittle. Throw the violets (which. should be of the double variety and without stems) into the syrup, a few at the time, and keep them in until the sugar boils again. Stir the sugar round the edge of the pan un til it is white and grainy, then gent- y stir the flowers about until the sugar leaves them. Drain them on a fine white cloth and set them on sieve to dry in a slightly warm . it oven, turning them caretuiiy now and again and watching them lest they csol ere they dry. Preserved violets are considered a rare delicacy, and they are certainly in appearance as dainty as could be imagined ; but they are more indi gestible than boiled cabbage, mince jie, Welsh rarebit or any of the he roic viands.

EVERETT, DEALER IN GEN ERAL MERCHANDISE. t King of Persia : "laxes must, at ast, fall upon agriculture; and agri culture can never flourish except under the protection of justice and moderation." Upon this principle, it is said, he acted in the adminis tration of the affairs of his country. He had laws passed to encourage and protect the farmer in iiis rights and his calling. His country, under such wise and iust administration, grew rich and powerful and became the rival of contemporary nations, and was prosperous in everything that makes a people great and hap py. Upon his death the government passed into other hands. His wise laws were repealed. Oppression of the farmers was substituted for the protection they previously had. Heavy taxes were laid upon them to support other classes at their ex pense. 1 he result was, the fields were neglected; the empire began to fall away from its high and com manding position ; ruin followed quickly, and ultimate and complete destruction ensued. What a lesson is taught us here. Does history reproduce itself? Does not every one know that the legisla tion of the Republican party is in favor of the manufacturer and against the farmer? What law have they ever passed in which they have dealt with "justice and moderation" towards the farmer? Not one, nor are they likely to. One of the most surprising things is that. the farmers are so slow to see this. Here they are toiling away, cultivating their land from day to day, making mon ey, not for themselves nor their chil dren, but to go into the pockets of monopolists and wealthy corpora tions, making them richer while they are becoming poorer and pool er and poorer every day. All this under the forms of law. When will all this stop? Never, until they awake out of their lethargy and plare men in power who will realize that they have a few rights left tnem under the Constitution of their coun try. Gew.

Z. F. LONG, Clerk Superior Court. I have suffered for nearly a year with a very bad varicose ulcer. I could scarcely walk, and although I was under medical tieatment during that time I received no benefit, and had about given up all hope of re lief.
