iJJLCKOR PJRJUSS: NOVEMBER 14, lo95.
MADE MR. LIVINGSTON HOT.
To Hear Government Officials Rejoice Over
the Result of the Electrons.
WASH iXGTqx, Nov. 7. Representa
tive Livingston of.Geor;ia is here to
look after the interests of some of the
exhibitor at the Atlanta Exhibition.
He did not hesitate to gpeak his mind
on the political situation, and he was
very severe on those Democrats who
are to-day rejoicing over the downfalf
of the Democratic party in Maryland,
Kentucky, and Ohio.
"I had .to go into some of the Gov
ernment departments to-day, " he said,
"on business in which my consti
tuents are interested, and it made me
hot to see how delighted some of the
prominent officers were over the re
sult of the elections. They profess to
be Democrats, too. Why, I saw sev-.
eral Government officials who were
appointed to office as Democrats
shouting themselves hoarse over the
result in Maryland and Kentucky, de
claring that the result was a vindica
tion of President Cleveland. Such
conduct may be all very well for the
Mugwumps of the North and East,
but it will not go with the Democrats
of the South.
Mr. Livingston said that Mr. Cleve
land alone is responsible for the man
gled condition of the Democratic
party to-day, and that the only hope
for the party is to put aside the finan
cial and tariff questions and try to
unite the Democratic forces under a
banner inscribed "A vigorous Ameri
can policy." He contended that the
financial question can only be settled
after the foreign affairs of the country
have been adjusted.
It is apparent to all who mingle in
Administration circles that neither
the President nor any of his followers
is distressed over the result of the
elections. Mr. Cleveland's friends are
gladly announcing their belief that
the opposition of party bosses in the
States to the President was the real
factor which caused defeat. They
said it was simply a case of a house
divided against itself and the house
has fallen
THE SENATOR'S NEW RING.
The Stone Found in Yancey Senator Prltch
ard's New Law Partner.
Among the articles of jewelry that
Senator Pritchard will wear in Wash
ington during his term is a ring with
a beautiful aquamarine set. The
stone was found in Yancey county,
and presented to the Senator by a Re
publican admirer living in Mitchell
county. The stone was mounted by
B. H. Cosby, the Patton avenue jew
eler. Senator Pritchard will go to the na
tional capital after the adjournment
of Madison court. He will rent a resi
dence there and remove his family
some time in December.
Thos. S. Rollins, one of Asheville's
young attorneys who was recently li
censed by the Supreme court, has be
come a member of the law firm of
Gudger and Pritchard,. the firm name
being changed to Gudger, Pritchard
and Rollins. Mr. Rollins will have
charge of the business at Marshall
during Senator Pritchard's absence.
He went to Marshall yesterday.

BLAND ON THE ELECTION.
Frte Silver Was Not Up for Judgment Tues
day.
St. Louis, Mo., November 7. Hon.
R. P. Bland explained the result of
Tuesday's balloting as follows in an
interview:
"The only States which made a free
silver canvass were those of Kentucky
and Mississippi. The whole power of
the national administration was
brought against silver in Kentucky,
and if it won by any majority or plu
rality it is a remarkable victory
brought about by official influence and
patronage.
"Wby,M added Mr. Bland, "the only
distinctive democratic victory of Tues
day is recorded by the Tammany dom
crats of New York, who have always
been opposed to Cleveland and his ad
ministration. ' Free silver was not up
for judgment in the elections held
Tuesday, but the national administra
tion was.'
When Rev. Jas. A. Weston the Rec
tor of the Episcopal church here, a
bachelor and the author of Historic
Doubts as to the Execution of Mar
shal Ney, leaves here shortly for a va
cation to write the History of his Con
federate Regiment, he, will turn the
key of his recently purchased residence
over to the ladies. As the old bache
lor proposes to live at home in the fu
ture, this will be a good time for his
admirers all over the State and coun
try to send whatever household neces
saries they desire to present him. He
has the nice house and two (probably
army) blankets to commence house
keeping, without a wife. We would
suggest that those away from Hicko-
3- can send by freight addressed to
rs, O. M. Royster. . -
MESSRS. CAflPBELL AND THORNToM.
Tbey Are Taking an Inventory, as It Were, of
Things Needed.
Messrs. Campbell and Thornton
after January 1st proprietors of the
Central Hotel are in the city. They
arrived yesterday morning on the ves
tibule from the North and will remain
several days. The Observer had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. Thornton"!
yesterday and found him exceedingly
agreeable'. He and Mr. Campbell are
here now to "view the landscape o'er,"
and see what is needed and what is not
needed. They will, of course, buy
new furnishings and keep the hotel up
to its standard in this as well as other
respects.
"It is not our intentior," said Mr.
Thornton, "to make any changes in
the running of the hotel. We hope to
make the people of Charlotte, the
State and the traveling public feel at
home, as usual, and there must be fa
miliar faces to greet them." .
Mr. Thornton and Mr. Eccles have
come to no understanding about the
Belmont. Mr. Eccles may or. may not
let it; and Mr. Thornton may or may
not rent it. .That's the way the case
stonds.
Mr. Thornton is a Louisianian by
birth and his wife is from Maryland.
They have lived North for some years.
Southern birth with Yankee snap' are
hard to beat. Charlotte Observer, 9th
ESCAPED PROM JAIL.
Six Negroes Knock the Jailer Down and Oct
Away.
Winsto'n, N. C, Nov. 8. Six ne
groes made their escape frdm the coun
ty jail here at 10:30 o'clock today.
Township Constable Harris went in'
the jail after a negro named Price,
who was to be tried before a magis
trate. Just as the officer opened theH
cell door to bring Price out, the other
prisoners rushed upon him, grabbing
the door, and at the same time knock- 1
ing Mr. Harris down. One grabbed
his pistol, but the officer succeeded in
getting it back and fired twice at one
of the negroes as he went out of the
door. One of the negroes who escaped
named John Mclver, was in jail a
waiting trial for attempted rape on a
small girl. The others are charged
with larceny. There were eighteen
prisoners in the jail corridor when the
six went out.. Officers are hunting
those who got away and a report reach
ed here tonight that they have been
surrounded in the woods a few miles
east of Winston.
A Or eat Rail read Man.
Col. A. B. Andrews was in Atlanta,
and of him the Constitution says:
"Col. A. B. Andrews, first vice pres
ident of . the Southern Railway, who
was here yesterday, is one of the most
unique types of the original North
Carolinian to be found in the country.
He is a great believer icrthe South, its
traditions, its present and its future,
and he never tires telling of his native
land. He is one of the many who
have been overcome by the colossal
proportions of the Atlanta Exposition
and he says that this necessarily
means a great advancement for the
Southern States.
He declares that it with the re-organization
of the old railroad proper
ties of the South by people who have
no purpose save that of building up
the country as well as the, railroads
they have bought certainly inay be ta
taken as a turning point in the history
of the Southern States. The Atlanta
Exposition, he declares, typifies the
pluck and courage of the people of this
section.
"Colonel Andrew is one of the most
convival men on the globe and loves
a good story told by an artist as much
as any man. He can also tell a good
story as well as any man alive and has
a fund of them always on hand."
Next Year is Leap Year.
Next year will be the last leap year
of the century, and another will not
occur until 184. The year 1900 will not
be a leap year. This unusual occur
rence is due to the fact that the addi
tion of one day Jo each fourth year
more than makes up the presumed de
ficiency in the calendar year, and con
sequently the world is constantly los
ing time, as a watch is losing it, and
therefore there was danger that in the
course of a few thousand years the
Fourth of Julyjwrould come on Christ

Husband, Wife and Children Made
Well by Paine's Celery Compound.
y, spkf MwK
The pre-eminence of Paine's celery
compound over all other re-uedies
could not be better illustrated than in
the case of the Turney family of St.
Anthony, Iowa.
Mrs. Turney had recovered her
kealth by the use of Paine's celery
compound.
She had suffered from a variety of
ills, all due to a nervous system im
properly nourished.
As frequently happens the entire
family, overcome pe-haps by anxiety
and care, began to feel "run down"
and to suffer with the hardest disease
in the world, the trouble they have
when they say: "Doctor, I don't feel
well."
The advice of their physicians to
use Paine's celery compound, the one
known remedy that restores lost ner
vous energy, creates an appetite, pur
ifies the blood and builds up the
strength of the entire system, was fol
lowed. Mrs.' Turney, in a letter to
Wells & Richardson Co., who prepare
the remedy, soon wrote as follows:
"My husband and three - children
were as greatly benefited by the use of
Paine's celery compound as I was af
ter an unusually hard siege of the
grip, with variations of the disease.
We regard the compound as a most
remarkable remedy."
As the winter comes on many peo
plewill begin to suffer from debility,
and lack of rallying powers after a
slight chill or cold.
There real trouble is a run-down
GOLDEN ROD KILL1NQ HORSES.
A Stat Veterinarian Says There Is a Deadly
Poison In Its Blossoms.
The State Veterinarian of Wisconsin
has made the discovery that under the
ragged yellow blossoms of the golden
cod there is hidden the germs of one
of the most dangerous diseases to
horses ever known.
The disease which afflicts a horse in
oculated with the poison resembles
consumption in a man. It is incura
ble. The horses which eat the tempt
ing plant go into a decline; their blood
is destroyed; the tissues lose their
strength and waste away. In from
three weeks to three months after the
disease attacks the animal it is dead.
French Crisis Avertod.
- Paris, Nov. 11. The Rappael this
morning says that the great financial
houses have decided to place at the
disposal of the market from 50,000,000
to 100, 000,000 francs in order o facili
tate a settlement. The speech of the
Marquis of Salisbury delivered in Lon
don on Saturday last had a good effect
here. :
Baron de Rothschild presided ? to
day at a conference of financiers, the
object or the meeting being to take
concerted action by a large subscrip
tion of capital to meet the necessities
of the situation.
Sad Afiair la Surrey. '.,
Information has been brought to
light of a horrible affair which occur
red a few weeks ago near Stone Moun
tain, Surrey county. Charles and
John Mc Bride, brothers, ware met in
the road by a party of six toughs. A
controversy arose over which should
give the road, when the toughs opened
fire on the two brothers; some twenty
five 6hots being fired. When the
smoke cleared away Charles McBride
was found to be fatally wounded. One
ball passed through his bowels.
After the battle in the road the
crowd of toughs went to the residence
of a dissolute woman living near and
demolished things generally. They
tore down the chimney, knocked out
one side of the house, . broke up tba j
bedstead, threw all the clothing and i
beddiug into the yard and made a"
bonfire of it and then fct fire to the j
bouse.
Mill
condition of the nerves and blood, and
Paine's celery compound, as in the
case of Mrs. Turney and her family
will make them well again.
Rheumatism- and neuralgia too,
grow more dangerous and more pain
ful with cold weather.
This increased pain points to in
creased activity of these disorders.
There is positive danger in allowing
the system to meet the perils of win
ter handicapped by rheumatism and
neuralgia, or auv disease that comes
from poor blood and bad nerves.
There is the same certainty of get
ting rid of these, two diseases that
there is of a complete recovery from
sleeplessness, nervous weakness, hys
teria, or any other result of impover
ished nelrvea and blood. Physicians
today get xid of rheumatism and neu
ralgia as they do sleeplessness, melan
cholia and nervous dyspepsia by
building up the system and support
ing its delicate nerve parts with
Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound restores
vitality to tired nerves; it feeds every
tissue, of the body when unusual
waste has reduced the weight and
strength of the body, as is frequently
the case at the close of the heated sea
son. It gives 'new appetite, and keeps
every-part of the body, nerves and
blood so well nourished that , the ner
vous, exhausted," tired, "run down"
feeling from worry and bard' work
soon disappears. Try it.
Latham, Alexander & Co., on Cotton.
We have received a circular letter
from Latham, Alexander & Co., Bank
ers and Cotton Commission Merchants
of New York, under date of Gth inst,,
in which they state that they "having
received many letters of inquiry, con
cerning the probable total cotton crop
of the United States for this year, we
sent out on the 26th of October 3500
letters to selected and reliable corres
pondents banks, bankers, cotton
commission merchants, brokers, pro
prietors of public gins, railroad offici
als and planters, covering every col
ton growing county in the South,
seeking information, believing that the
average of the replies we received
would likely prove more correct than
the estimate of any individual, remote
from the cotton fields. In response to
our letters we have received "2032 re
plies up to this date," from which they
make these deductions as to the esti
mated average and state that the
weight of bales this season is estima
ted to be 10 to 12 pounds lighter than
last year. Tbey estimate the total
crop of the United States for this year
at 6,433,000. The average of the
guesses of their correspondents as to
the total crop foots up 6,680,000 bales.
From this statement of this great cot
ton firm It would seem that they are
by no means disposed to disparage the
condition of the Southern cotton plan
ter, when it is taken Into considera
tion that the crop of 1804 was 0,901,000
bales of ten to twelve pounds more
weight than this year's crop of not
more than 6,500,000 bales.
Therefore this is an awful good
time to buy cotton, but not a good
time to sell if, you can avoid doing so,
and meet your obligations.

piece of enterprise that the Salisbury
World perpetrated Wednesday in con
verting itself from an afternoon to a
morning paper and coming out with
