Wo expect that this' wiil bo the last issue of the Press at present, as the editor has other businoss which will require his attention, wo hav tried to give the people of Rowan a good readable paper, and have been ens couraged in the as Well as could bo expected. All back subscriptions must be paid np at once now, as we want to close up' business, those not paid up by Sept 15 will be put in thejhands of a collector.. We want what is due us as wo have bills to meul,' and wo must have it. Thanking you for your kind fav ors we now bid you good by and retire from the field. But let us say one more word to the Democrats of this county, do not give-op the good work until after Novamber, aud may you be successful in carrying the full ticket by a large major-,; ity. -The latest for the republican is foiming clubs of women to work for Harrison aud Morion. Hon A M Waddell says that. Wak ker has no more chance of being e lected than Bon Butler has of going to heaven. Mr. Reagan introduced a bill in the Senate Wednesday to put juto bagging on the free list he says this will, break; up the , bagging trust. - -- t Let the Domocrts bo up and doing now, tho Republicans, although they seem to be doing very little, aro working hard. Every Democrat should be atwork for Lis party. Hon W T Walker, prohibition candidate for governor, made an in teresting speech in Jieroney'a Hall last Saturday. A large crowd was in attendance to hear what he had o say, but from what we can hear he lost votes in place of gaining them, one of the strongeet prohibit vlohist in thd 1 county says that ho will not vote .the ticket, for he knor.8 wha't harm it would do the Staw. - i One of the leadiag, Prohibitionists of this .town,- in conversation!, list Monday, with a Democrat; said that he did not care for the result .of bus vote, and if the prohibition move ment did put the radical' party in power tbat he would De wiiiing to have a negro judge preside over the courts of Rowan county, 1 think of that, the prohiditionist are work hard "to defeat the Democratic party .without. the least chance of receiving onetenth enough votes to to elect their candidate, fof as Hon A M Waddell puts it: Walkes has about aB much chance of being elec-j ed as Ben Butler has of going to heaven, - ; Let the voters of Kiwan think what they will' be doing to ruin the State if they vote the prohibi tion ticket. j Sewerage. - A great deal has been said of late about the need of sewerage in Salssbury. A walk through the town will roveal the fact to anyone that Salisbury is badly in need of a through; so wcrafp system. The first place tho town is located in a very UUiiw m0i i '''J ultu luju auu mulales to be washed off by- the rains so it is compelled to remain where it accumulates and thereby germs of disease is I rid." lk the system of wat er works that we have a guod system of sewerage could be established at a small cost and 'no one could estimate the amount of rrood it would do tho town. This a subject thai tho authorities of the tow a should take into consideration mmediately. . :V For the I'nEis. t The Author of "The Lous; Ao ' Several years since there was much discursiou in the papers as to the auihordhip of this exquisite little poem, and iho gifted Mury Bayard Clarke among others, endeavored to convince the public that there was little doubt that tho credit was due to Ptsilo Henderson although it was rot embraced atr.0r.2r his in Gov. Swains 4Yord poems Notes." The N, C, Press generally claimed it for Mr Hender son and in Miss Masons "Southern Poems of tho war" ii ' is attributed to him. Only "The Daily Hornet so far as I know, expressed doubt. "The Charlotte Democrat claimed it for Mr Ii. saying, some old j cui izens tell uaj that it apputjred in ' The Hornets AW," as early as 13 48 or 50." i 1 f. One S, C. Griggs, answered ; Mrs. Clarke that he published "Sheaves of Rhyme" by B. F. Taylor of Chi cago and this poem was among them and that it was writteu as a part ot a New Years address to The-Chicago Daily Journal in 11850 and bore tho title ''The Isle of Long Ago." 1 have jiUvavs iutended to say a word on this subject to' the Charlotte Denjocral, a 1 think i have the solution of the confusion. There are ( wo poems so alike in sentiment and in style, that to bo read at intervals they would surely be confounded as one, j et if taken together they are entirely dmtinct. I have iu my possession four or five copies of this Poem, bearing various titles Tho Isle of Long Ago,: The Long Ago, The Eiyer of lime Sec. and I have also the poem which I suppose our. own Henderson wrote eutitled "The Long Ago." It j cor- taihjy came from a heart bearing the some fright of tender memories and a mind gifted with the same. ''aultlers rhythm and musical rhyme." The Lous Ago. There is abeautiful isle in (he long ago, All flooded with golden light, -And a river that flows . by the margin queen; J Those waters are wonderous bright! -There is a Bark that glides with, snovsry sail. . ' ' . And the music of hilver oar, That carries us back to th e shi nine; gale; Of that- beautiful past once more. -Ah! ever- heart holds soue sweet dream ' - Of a beaulifui loug ago. There werp bright hopes nursed in the : long ago, . r Sweet flowers we gathered theie, Aud the walls of the beautlfal past are - j hung "' ' With many au image fair, And O! there is room for the feet to ' tread This path of the by gone years, There are joys that bloom in memories - field, , Anda fount for our bitter tears, And that fount holds many a hollowed tear . ' We've wept in the long ago. The Kiver of rrime. O! a wonderful stream is the river o f time, ; ' As it runs through the realms of tears, Witti a faultness rhythm and muBicii . rhyme, And-a broauer sweep and surge I sublime, j And blends with the ocean of years- How the winters are drifting like flakes; .1 of snow, And summers like buds be tween, And the year in the sheaf eo they come and they go On the river's breait,.with. its ebb and ;flow, As it glides in the shadow and sheen There's a musical isle up the river of Time Where.the.sof test of aira are play iog, There's a cloudless sky nd a topical clime And a song E3 sweet as a ; vesper chime And the Junes with the rosesare stay- !

V e again challenge a comparison be tween this state of things and the ontrages, crimes rind scandals which attended Republican ascendancy in our borders. V e 1 pledge ourselves to exert in the future as in the past our best efforts to promote tho best interests of the peojle of all sections of the Stale Affirming our adher ence to Democratic principles as heretofore cnunciatal in the plats forms of the party, i is hereby Jiesolved, That nogovernmont has the right to burden s people with taxes boyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extinguiafi its public debt; and that whenever -the revenues, i,.-ierfvcd, exceed Tltts n mount, thoyehmil b Tedueed, so as to avoid a surplus in. the treas ury. That auy-system of taxation which neceesiiates the payment of a' premium of $270 by the government on each. 1,000 of its bonds, taken up with tho millions that would otherwise lie idle in its vaults, and paid to bonholders who purchased, in many instarrces, at less than par, is undemocratic, oppressive and inis quitous nnd i-hiulci be refoi med. 'Th course of our Democratic Represen tative! in Congress, in their exforts'to givp relief to tho people from bur densome internal rcvonuo and tariff taxation, meets with the approval of the Democratic party of this Stato and we respcctful'-recommcnd that if they find it impossible to give to our people all the relief demanded, they support anT just and practical measure presented in Congress that will afibid a partial 'reiief from such existing burden. liezolved, That while tbo details of the methods by which tho consti- tutional revenue tariff shall bo grad ually reiiched are subjects which the representatives cf cur people at the naiiouai capital must bo trusted to adjust, we think the custom duties should be levied for tho prodution of public revenue, and tho discrirairia-v tions in their adjustment should be as will place tho highest rates on luxuries and the lowest on the ne cessaries of life, distribute a? equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxations, and confer the greatest good on the greatest . number. Evolved, That wo, as heretofore, favor,' and wili never cease to de mand, the unconditional abolition of the whole internal revenue - bjb tern, us a war tax, not to be justified in times of peace, asjs griuvious bur den to our people ancf a source of annoTancoin its practical operations. We call the attention of the people of the Slate to tho hypocritical pre- ten tions of tbo Republican party in their platforms thai, they are in fa vor of the repeal of this onerous system of taxation, ei acted by their party, while the Republicans iu Con gress are taxing their energies to ob struct ail legislation inaugurated by the reprentativos of the Deruocratic party 10 relieve the people of all or a part of this odious system. : - Jiesoived, That the course of the Democratic party, in furtherance of popular education, is a sufficient giiarauly that we favor tho educa tion of the people, and wo will pro mote and improve tho present edu cutional advantages so far as it can be doue without burdeniug tho peo pie by excessive taxation.

Re olved, That the United States boing one government and ours a national party, wc denounce the ef forts of the Republicans to force sec tional issues in Congress and else where, and to promote dissension and ill-will between the people of the different sections of our common country. - Hcsolved, That it is due to the peo ple of our eastern counties, who have eo cheerfully borne their share of our commo.n burdens, -trsrt ho - present or some eqrallj'- effective system of county government shall ba main tained. . Resolved, Tbat tbeDeiriocratic par ty is oposed to any further exten sion of th9 "No-fence" law, unless bucb 'extension shall have first been authorized by a majority of the quaU ified voteis within the territory to bo affected thereby. Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever bon the party of the workiiigman, and has never foster ed monopolies, nor have 'trusts" or "combinations" or "pools" ever grown up under laws enacted by it. The contest in this country being beg tween aggregated capital, seeking to crush out all competition, and the individual laborer, the Democratic party is, as it has ever been, against the monopolist and iu favor of a just distribution of capital, and demands the enactment of laws that will bear equally upon all. -r Resolved, That as all taxation bears most heavilv unon thA inhnrar. it i 1 1 - a tue umy vi tuo legislator, as a airec benefit to tho workingman, to keep the expenses of our public institu tions at the lowest limit consistent j with wise and efficient management. The Democratic party opposes any competition between free and con- vict labor, but it insists that convicts shall not remain idle at the expense of honest labor. Resolved, That oars being an agris cultural State,it is our duty as well as our bleasure to promote any and all legislation that is beat calculated to advance the interests of agriculture; and that in so doing we will most ef fectually advance the interests of mechanics, manufacturers and labors era. -: Resolved, That the Democracy of North Carolina, cordially approve the administration of Hon Alfred M Scales as honest, patriotic and con servative. Resolved, That the ability, wisdom, honest patriotism, independence, faithfuluess to duty and manly cour age of President Cleveland haye won the admiration of all good men; and the interests of the conn try de mand his re-nomination and his re election.
