A FEW GENERAL REMARKS
A few general remarks in refer-'
ence to city improviiiicnt will mt
be out of place to-day in fact it
is hardly ever out of place. j
Since the stringing of -the gas
pipes alongthe strcelsfor a new gas
main it is generally concede I, and
has occasionally been asserted, that
this is the last of electric lights for
Salisbury. The question arises, is
this true V-
We had hoped to see the more
modern lights materialize in the city,
at an early day. The people al
most as a whole hoped the same.1
Surely' we are not to lay aside pro-;
curing these lights as a thing of
the past that is, surely they are
not abandoned.
Along with us many citizens
desire electric lights for the city.1
If other towns in the State much
smaller than Salisbury are able to
have them and make them pay
Salisbury could certainly do.it!
There should then be a clamor for
the lights. The citizens should
continue to agitate electric Iightsi
The needed repairing on a few
blocks of our main streets should
be attended to. The streets on
the blocks referred to are certain
ly in bad condition. A small
amount of money expended on
v them would make them much betr
ter. We submit that this should
be done at once. I
It would be well also for the
i ''I
citizens to discuss sone plan to
to build and. operate a street rail-
way from Salisbury, to Spencer, j
We might add that another
bink established here would do
vast gocd to Salisbury and add
financial strength to the town.
A board of trade should be or
ganized.
The Sun, as a public journal,
ta';c3 great interest in Salisbury,
and calls attention to these things,
trustino- that the citizens will take
thenj up and push them to success.
The Kinston Free Press says
a lea ling negro politician of Bertie
county, talking to a IVpulist coun
ty commissioner, told him no man
coula be elected for that position
again who was not willing to give
the negroes , one-half the jurors,
both 'grand and petit,' that they
really were entitled to more, but
would not submit to less man nair.
In response to the growing de
mands of negroes the fusiouists
have
gradually increased the num-
ber (
f offices given to negroes, yet
claim to white folks that their par
ty id
not the negro party!

this loubt by stating that hence
forth I am a .Democrat. I feet it
my duty to pursue this course for
the best interests of North. Caro
lina, which should now and .for all
time be governed by its white
population. The fruits of fusion
do not warrant its continuance
and
white men should wash their
hands of it."

seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly,
and could not sleep. She finally
discovered a way to recover, by
purchasing of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Con
sumption and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose that she
sleptall night; and with two bot
tles ; has been "absolutely cured.

One of. the brightest signs of
the times is the undoubted getting
together of the white men of North
Carolina. It took some years of
negro misrule to open the. eyes of
our people to ' the degradation of
allowing an Anglo-Saxon country
to be ruled, by an -inferior race,
an anomaly hitherto unknown in
history. But . at last the dullest
eyes are being opened and white
men of all parties are declaring
that the Anglo-Saxon shall rule.
National politics is but a small is
sue when compared to the peril
in which our State now stands.
Every day the negro is getting
more insolent, every day (their de
mands are more exacting.
What negro rule means the
cities of Wilmington and New
hern faintly foreshadow. We say
"faintly," for the reason that it
is too early jin the game for tbe
negroes to show their hands Wo
plainly. When they get their
grasp -firmly fixed on the throat of
the State and her white people
arid her industries lie prostrate
beneath the Ethiopian heel then
may we iook ior a carnival oi
crime and degradation ' not even
guessed at now.
Though Mr. Sagasta is the
jjreat republican spirit 'of Spain
there is a .de& feeling of intimacy
and atfectiojA between him and
the young
king. During the
dangerous il
ness of Alfonso the"
old statesman showed as much
i ...
anxiety as though it had been a
child of his own.
In Henderson county Criminal
Court last, week Chas. Condry, 9-
y ear-old-son of W. A. Condry, of
Asheville, was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary for
stealing a mule. It was the third
time he had been charged with a
similar offence.
