Lumberton section is now afflicted with a Third party paper in the in terest of Republicanism. A negro woman gave birth to five children in Savannah, Ga., Saturday. They were all healthy and in a prom ising condition. During the war a northern man robbed the Government of $10,000, and the other day returned $20,000 to Secretar3T Carlisle. Honest man. Jerry Simpson who goes around posing as a farmer trying to array the working people on the Republican side hasn't got l?nd enough to bury himself on. While the French tax women ten dollars for the privilege of wear ing trousers, it costs only $3 in this section for them to wear them. The men have to toe the mark. There are hot times in South Car olina. An individual shipped a lot of barrels of beer into that State labelled pepper sauce. It was seized if it was labelled pepper sauce. John Craig, who lives in the town of Danville, Ind., and his wife are a weighty pair. They pull down the scales at 1,030 pounds. The old man only tips the beam at 900 and the old lady at 130 pounds. The Republican money, it is said, accounts for the activity in the T.iird party campaign ;n Vir ginia just now. Money from the same source will continue the Third ite howl in other Southern States. The cause of "refawn" is advanc ing in South Carolina. A few days ago Governor Tillman publicly re fused to interfere to bring a mob of lynchers to justice, and the State Commissioner of Education engaged in a fist fight. The colored politicians of both parties are greatly exercised over a rumor that John M. Langston, the negro leader of Virginia, has gone over to the Democracy. It is said the negroes are leaving the Republi can party very rapidhr. 31; This little clipping is going the rounds: "Listen, oh, maiden; you who are too delicate to assist the mother in her household work. An a rerage waltz takes a dancer over a'lout three-quarters of a mile. A will filled program travels 11 1-2 miles in one evening." Some orators are loaded with facts and they are interesting. While such men as Messiah Garrett and the great Solomon, of Vance, are loaded in bulk with wind and they soar. The editor of the Gillsburg News is black around the gills with Republicanism. Give that calf more rope and he will soon be try ing to hide himself in some hole in the ground from the scorn and con tempt of all people in favor of good government, and against anarchists and swimmers in blood. We are glad to learn that James II. Jones, col.,- who was a faithful servant of Hon, Jeff. Davis, and who drove his funeral car in Ral eigh May 30th and then accompan ied the remains to Richmond, has been given a place in the Senate wing of the capitol at Washington. The State campaign of the Third-ite-Republican-Alliance under the head of "Farmers1 Encampments" have been arranged for under the auspices of the Farmers1 Alliance, but really to afford the Thirdite speakers an opportunity of spread ing their doctrine, Maryann But ler and Col. Harry Skinner are the chief orators. Congressman Grady, of the Third district, has after many years study solved a mathematical problem that hitherto been considered impossible of solution. It is the trisection of an arc of a circle. We truly hope our honored friend will also be able to solve the problem of getting the Fayettleville circle rid of a ne gro postmaster. The Democratic party is all right, but the trouble is some few of our Democrats need a little stiffening in the back they will encourage a Thirdite-Republican povv-wow by their presence. Stay away from the Butler, Skinner and Messiah Gar rett show. It is all for the purpose of trying to capture the Legislature next year in order to elect Maryann Butler Senator in place of Senator Ransom. The Charlotte Observer has stir red up the animals in the North by printing a story to the effect that ex PresidentLincoln was an illegitimate son of Nancy Hanks, a North Caro lina servant girl, and that his fath er's name was Abram Enloe. The New York Commercial Advertiser denounces the Obsei ver's article as a "Southern" attempt to defile the fame of those who put down the "slave-holders1 rebellion." :fc We would publish the President's letter to Governor Northen, of Ga., but for the fact he merely reiterates what he said before on the silver question. Holding the views that he does he cannot be expected to change his position, which is per fectly reasonable one and consistent with the platform on which he was elected. That platfarm favors the free coinage of silver, but insists upon conditions which would make free coinage perfectly safe. We un derstand Mr. Cleveland to favor free coinage under same conditions. As the Ilarrell matter is till on tap a communication in N. O. C. one day last week speaks thusly,and we agree fully with the writer when he says: "Prof. J. J. Blair says the excursion to Chicago was not gotten up under the direction of the Assembly so that organization does not expect to bear any of the responsibility, as sume any of the profits or share any o the losses. Then Mr. Harrell had no right or authority to collect the Assembly fee, and ought to be made to pay every cent of it back and be dealt with for bringing discredit on the official ermine of the State." Statistics recently compiled at Washington show that this year between the first of January and the first of September 155 national banks have suspended in the United States. Of these 77, or nearlyjone half, have resumed and are now do ing business. During the period named 560 State and private banks have suspended and of these only 72 or less than 13 per cent, have re sumed. Of these latter banks 408 were situated west of the Ohio river. The South, as compared with the West, has had remarkably few bank failures during these troublous time. The Philadelphia Times says: There never has been a greater fizzle in the way of a political sensation, than the debate on the repeal of the Federal election laws. As soon as it begins the House is deserted. There is no pretense of keeping a quorum. The speakers can hardly get any body but the poor pages to listen to them, and even the rural visitors shuns the galleries of the House. This is as it should be. It is not that the subject is unimpor tant, but that it is res adjudicate. The election laws are dead and only awaiting the formality of burial. The grave is ready, but meanwhile nobody feels called upon to sit up with the corpse. If you want to scarce a third party man one of the small, thin kind, who believe every word Butler,Skin ner, Garrett, and others say just jump out of a fence corner and shout "W-a-1-1 street !" and he will take a fit and the howl commences. When Messiah Garrett comes over in Gran ville and makes the people think that a vertitable old Blue Beard is on the road or that a bloody wave is imminent, and shakes his anarch ist mane and roars "Wall Street !" about ten per cent, of his hearers quake in the knees, but if anything is said about Republican ism you will find them embracing each other in the audience, even the "coons." Of course this is at Third party Allliance Republican pow wow where Democrats encourage them by being present. The Mecklenburg Times says: We have no intention or desire to pre judice or condemn Mr. Cleveland. He may yet recommend something better than we now hope for. What we do claim the right to do is to dis agree with him in his manner of proving his friendship to silver. The Democratic party is larger than any man in it, and we are Democratic first, and for Cleveland only in so far as he is with the party which raised him to the Presidency. He is our leader and as such we respect him, but the best interest of true Domocracy demand that every man should think and act for himself. No self respecting man should give blind allegiance to any man or set of men. No Democrat who loves and cherishes the undying princi ples of true Democracy can afford to. ways op Tinitni i j:s in pitt. A gentleman told the Greenville Reflector Saturday that there was right much excitement among the uninformed classes in a certain town ship of Pitt because of reports that have been circulated among them by Third party agitators. These Third ites, he said, have been going among those who know no better, telling them that as soon as the Democrats get this silver question settled in Congress all the silver money in cir culation will be worthless and of no more value than was Confederate money after the close of the war. Of course many believed these state ments, and there was more or less excitement among them according to what money they had. One of the deluded who had four or five silver dollars came to Green ville Saturday to get rid of what he had before the "final crash" came. He intimated his plans to no one, as he had also been told that eyen now a silver dollar would not buy more than fifty cents worth of anything, and he feared that if it was known he was going to unload so much sil ver on the market there would be a still further decline in value. So determined to "sell out to the best advantage" he went in a store and asked to be shown some goods. He selected what he wanted and laid down enough silver dollars to cover the purchase, fearing as he did so that the merchant was going to ask him to hand out as much more. To his astonishment the merchant gathered in the silver with as much relish as a hungry man would take his dinner, and bowing his thanks invited the customer to call again. The man walked away with his goods endeavoring not to betray his surprise, but he could not keep it all to himself. Hunting up a friend he took him aside and told him what had occurred. In the conversation that followed it dawned upon the man that he had been deceived by the bosh the Third party agents had been telling him. PURELY VEGETABLE Dr. Pierce's Pleas- VVi ant Pellets.
