OXFORD, N. C.
I EC. 7 1394.
State Returning Board announce
thate the J udges on the fusion ticket
have a majority of 20,841.
The saddest news of the dying
year is that Gov. Waite will only lay
down his authority in Colorado to
take up the lecture platform and de
vastate the country at large.
That superb weekly paper, the
Statesville Landmark; published a
daily edition during the session of
the Western Methodist Conference
in that town last week. Like the
weekly it was a model of neatness
and well edited, and gave a full ac
count of the proceedings of the Con
ference. We would be glad to sse
citizens of Statesville extend patron
age enough to brother Clark to con
tinne the daily edition of the Land
mark. 'Tis said nothing succeeds like
success and noble Joe Caldwell has
succeeded in establishing a first
olsss daily newspaper in Charlotte
that is not only a credit to North
Carolina, but the whole South. The
Observer put on a new dress last week
and its big sleeves are brim full of
the news of the days. Of course
we mean its pages, and trust in
creased patronage will grow so rap
idly as to cause it to keep up
with the fashion by getting out an
eight page edition.
Captain Kolb's threatened revolu
tion if Oates should be inaugurated
as Governor of "Alabama Saturday,
proved no revolution at all. Capt.
Kolb took the oath in a lawyer's
office and after receiving assurance
from the retiring Governor that if
he undertook to make an inaugural
address inside the Capitol grounds he
would be arrested and put in jail he
delivered his address from a wagon
opposite the Capitol grounds to about
two hundred of his followers. In
the meantime the real inaugural pro
cession was led by retiring Governor
Jones and Governor-elect Oates,who
took the oath of office at noon in the
presence of the Legislature as re
quired by law.
The Charlotte Observer says it is
not yet clear how the Republican
Populist fusionists are to get control
of the counties of North Carolina
for the next two years. The com
missioners for the two next ensuing
years were elected in August last
and went into office Monday, their
terms not expiring until the first
Monday in December, 189(5. Only
one-third of the magistrates of the
State are to be elected by the Legis
lature which meets next month, the
other two-thirds continuing in office,
the half of them for two and the
other half for four years longer. As
the term of office of a public official
cannot be curtailed during his in
cumbency except by the abolishment
of the office itself, it is an interesting
problem this, as to what the Phil
istines into whose hands we have
fallen are going to do about it.
TRUE AS PREACHING.
ine iews & uoseivei nh a
judge, one of the highest type,
writes : 4,I believe the preaching of
pure Democracy and a steady adhe
rence to principles was never more
needed in North Carolina than now,
and it is demanded by those who re
m l XT L I ... . . . , .-., , . v- f
main in the party. There are some
who watch for the slightest appear
ance of despondency in the leaders
of public opinion as an indication for
them to seek shelter, and there are
others who are firm in t he faith; our
misfortunes ought to bind us closer
together. We have a great fight to
redeem our Statejin '90, but it can be
done, and to succeed we must begin
to close the ranks now by encourag
ing the faint-hearted and brave. All
must determine that the disgrace
now upon us shall not remain. '
POLITICAL ECONOMY IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
Whether political economy should
be taught in the public schools, says
Philadelphia Times, depends very
much upon the definition of the
term. If it applies either to dry
statistics on the one hand, or to re
condite theories on the other, we
should say that the minds of public
school children are already too much
burdened with things that they do
not understand. But if, by teach
ing political economy, it is meant
that children should be taught some
recognition of the fact that the or
ganization of society, the relations
of mankind to one another, m trade
and commerce and in political action
and the relations of nation with na
tion are governed by general laws,
and that human institutions are the
result of natural development and
not of mere caprice, then it may be
said that nothing which children can
be taught is of moreimportance for
them to know.
The economists themselves are
very far from an harmonious agree
ment as to the basis or the super
structure of their science, and until
they have got themselves upon some
common ground it would be difficult
for them to accomplish much direct
ly in the education of our youth.
But the fact there is a science of po
litical economr ; that there are laws
to which every man or woman is
subject, whether they are clearly re
cognized or not, and that the pros
perity of the community, which
means the prosperity of its individu
al members, is not to be sought in
ignorant defiance of all human ex
perience this is something that it is
worth while for everyone to know,
and most of all for those who are
charged with the education of the
young.
If anything is to be accomplished
in this direction the place to begin
is clearly with the teachers. Get
some idea of general principles into
their heads, and they will know how
to convey the idea to their pupils.
This is what our school system, pub
lic or private, needs most of all. It
is not text books upon this or that
science, or vain repetition of frag
ments of ill-digested knowledge that
will help to a comprehension of po
litical economy. These things too
often hinder more than help the ca
pacity for philosophic thought which
must be the basis of all true educa
tion, and if the training of those
who are to be teachers can be suc
cessfully directed towards this end,
political economy in the schools or
elsewhere, can take care of itself.
Nothing Stanes as Iligli,
as a remedy for every womanly ailment,
as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Here is the proof. It Is the only mecii-'
cine for women so certain in its effects
that it can be guaranteed. In every case,
if it doesn't cure, your money is returned.
Can anything else, though it may be bet
ter for a tricky dealer to sell, be "just as
good" for you to buy?
"Favorite Prescription" is an invigor
ating, restorative tonic, a soothing and
strengthening nervine, and a complete
cure for all the fundamental derange
ments, painful disorders and chronic
weaknesses peculiar to the sex.
For young girls enteiing womanhood;
for women at the crttical "change of life;"
for women approaching confinement;
nursing mothers; and every woman wlo
is "run-down," tired, or overworked it
is a special, safe, and certain help.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation,
piles, biliousness, indigestion, or dyspep
sia and headaches.

OLD NORTH STATE.
What Has Taken Place Within Her
Borders From flountains to Sea.
W. T. Perry, a farmer living five
miles from Franklinton, was killed
Wednesday by his team running
away.
Fusion is to be a feature of the
campaign of 1896 in North Carolina
and Democrats had as well get in
line to meet the combination.
Ilaleigh Republicans had a politi
cal jolification Thanksgiving even
ing. Loge Harris presided and
Oliver Dockery and Jeter Pritchard
spoke.
The grist mill and cotton gin of
Robt. B. Moore, of Wayne county,
was burned early Wednesday morn
ing, together with about 15 bales of
cotton.
Mrs. John A. Hall man, of Waco,
Cleveland county, committed suicide
Thursday by hanging herself with a
plow line in a corn crib. Her mind
had been impaired for some time.
The Patron and Gleaner says that
a few days ago two little sons of
Mr. and 'Mrs.' W. W. Wade were
drowned in a pond in Northamp
ton county. The boys were aged
10 and 7 years.
A "prominent., gentleman'" tells
the Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer that the fight
against State aid to the University
lost the Democrats 19 counties in
the recent election.
In Wake county Thursday the
cotton gin and 40 bales of cotton of
Mr. J. D. Allen were burned; also
the dwelling and five bales of cotton
of Mr. John Sneed, and two dwell
ings owned by Mr. Joseph Price.
Elkin Times says, T. M. Arm
strong, of Lucille, Wilkes county,
made this year on 12 acres of land
480 bushels of corn with one horse;
also 100 bushels on 3 acres more,
and 48 bushels of wheat on 2i acres.
Alex. Harper, colored, of Wil
mington, was discharged from the
penitentiary on the 13th inst. The
Messenger says he committed burg
lary on the 24th, was arrested and
may be said to be fairly on his way
back.
Will Morehead a colored youth of
Greensboro, handling a pistol Wed
nesday when the weapon was acci
dentally discharged. The ball took
effect in the body of a six year old
colored girl and the child died in a
few hours.
The Progressive Farmer, a prom
inent Fusion paper, and which nec
essarily has much influence with
the new Legislature, conies out
in an editorial urging the estab
lishment of a reformatory for
youthful criminals.
The North Wilkesboro News says
Bud Church, one of. the men who
gave Mrs. Hall's little daughter
whiskey from the effects of which
she died, was arrested last Saturday,
given a hearing and sent to jail
without privilege of bail.
The Republican State Chairman
says that the reports that the Re
publicans are planning to elect both
senators are totally unfounded;
that there are not three Republicans
in the Legislature who will fail to
vote for one Populist and one Re
publican. The Goldsboro Headlight says
that while out bird-hunting Monday
afternoon, Mr. Joseph B. Crawford,
of Goldsboro, was accidently shot
in the leg by his companion, Mr.
Pobert L. Rice, and although am
putation was succesfully performed,
died the next day.
The Populists now figure that
there will be but six Democrats in
the Senate branch of the next Leg
islature and but 39 in the House.
The Statesville Landmark says this
is not enough to do either harm or
good and this little handful will
have nothing to do but to stand
around like a poor boy at a frolic.
Goldsboro Headlight says: Be
cause the princpals of the. Mount
Olive and Pikeville schools voted the
Democratic ticket at the recent elec
tion, the Third party patrons of both
schools have withdrawn their chil
dren, informing the principals that
hereafter they must look for their
support from the Democrats. We
are also informed that they are treat
ing their pastors, who voted the
Democratic ticket, in like manner
and are actually withholding the
amounts pledged to their support.
The Wilmington Messenger re
grets to hear of the serious accident
that befel Capt. Thomas W. Slc
cumb, of Goldsboro, agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, last Wednesday
evening. While looking after some
business on the platform at Ware
house he happened to make a mis
step and fell from the platform
breaking his arm in two places. The
same arm had been broken once be
fore. We learn the accident was
very serious, but we hope Capt. Slo-.
eumb will soon be all right again.
