(The bill of which thejabove are provisions was passed by the Dem ocratic House and is now before he Eepublican Senate for its ac-ion.-Mr John Nichols voted against this bill). Dr. Abernethy Withdraws. The following letter appeared in last week's State Chronicle: At the earnest solicitation of many friends, and after mature and prayerful reflection, I beg to withdraw my name as candidate for Superintendent of Public In struction on the Prohibition tick et. In the lengthening shadows of evenirg, nearing my "three score years and ten," the esteem of my friends is more than ever dear to me. This I am sure I should lose in a measure by my candidacy, while I am convinced that evil would result thereby, both to prohibition and to my friends and fellow-citizens in the State. I think my friends in North Carolina will testify that during my life I have never hesitated to follow where duty pointed the way. The nomination came under the guise of duty, and I accepted. I now plainly see that this pres ent third party movement will not only imperii the white man's supremacy in the South, but it will damage the cause of prohibi tion almost incalculably. Since the war, when I have voted at all, my ballot has always been cast in favor of Democracy: and as I am now, and always have been in full sympathy with that party on ev ery question except that of license, if, as is plainly to be seen, one of the old political parties must tri umph in this contest, I shall not allow myself to be used as an in strnmentaiity m putting my friends in North Carolina under the dominion of negro rule. Hence I - hereby decline the candidacy and withdraw from the third party and earnestly recommend my life long friend and brother, Maj.S.M. Finger, who is a christian gentle man,a prohibitionist and a scholar, to all my prohibition brethren in tbe State. In the present situation I earn estly advise the withdrawal of the prohibition ticket in North Caro lina, and the support of Democ racy in the present contest. We cannot afford to impose negro su premacy upon our fellow-citizens. Iu an off year (next year if you please) I earnestly beg all good men of all parties to unite with me, outside of politics, in putting this infamy of all infamies, the liquor traffic, out of our State. I am now an old man. Most of my life lies in the past. How it has been consecrated to humanity the people know. And in this fight against the arch enemy of earth and heaven, though my sword be powerless as Priam's, it shall strike for God and the right. Yours truly, E. L. Abernethy. The Campaign in the West. From the Hickory Press. Our candidates, Fowle, Finger and Davidson, are making a cam paign in the west that will long be remembered, and unless all ap pearances prove to be grossly de ceptive, will result in the largest Democratic majority ever known in that section of the State. Every appointment is met by hundreds of mouuted men, and nearly the whole population men, women and children turn out, ornamen ted with the red bandanna and overflowing with enthusiasm .After parting with the candidates at Tayiorsville on July 31 we. only heard and read their work until it was our good fortune to witness the grand reception given by the seemingly more than entire De mocracy of Haywood county at Waynesville on Thursday, the 9th inst. When the train stopped at Waynesville all the space around he depot was filled with horses and yelling Democrats, and more ban once was heard the inquiry: "Where did they all come from!" We have visited several courts in Waynesville,bnt;at no time before did we ever see so many people in that town. Many of the men had on Cleveland hats and every man, woman and child had the bandanna on hats, across the shoulder or around the waist, and everybody was overflowing with, Democratic enthusiasm. The speeches were fine, were patiently listened to and had a good effect. There are numbers of prohibition ists in Haywood county, but only a few of them will vote the third party ticket. At Webster, on the 10th, anoth er large and enthusiastic crowd gladly received the Democratic truths. We heard old citizens of the county say that it was the largest crowd that ever attended a speaking in Jackson county. It really seems that the people are apprehensive of some threatened danger and are looking to the Democratic party for preserva tion. If the whole State can be aroused as are the western coun ties, our majority will be 40,000. Belfords Magazine. The August number of Belford's Magazine keeps up the promise of the first two numbers. In the opening article, on "The Eeal Is sue,', .the Hon. Roger. Q. Mills, the author of the tariff bill which re cently passed the House, shows that the object of that measure was not free trade, but "to build up our manufactures, not destroy them;" to remove impediments and give them facility to grow by opening our markets and making raw materials cheap, j. E. Wil son, in "War Declared on Agri culture," gives further proofs of : the disastrous effect which the ta riff has upon that all-important industry. The other political ar ticles, "British Free Trade," by Alfred H. Peters, and "British In terests in American Protection," though independent contributions should be read together, as com bined they show that England rather than the United States should dread the adoption of free trade by this country. In addition to the politics there is a readable novellette, a couple of bright and entertaining short stories, some humorous reading, and editorial matter from the pen of Donu Piatt. A cheap book at 25c. $2.50 per year. Belfora, Clarke & Co., 384-386 Broadway, New York. An Explanation. What Is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be afflicted? If you will remem ber, a few years ago the word Ma laria was comparatively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the English language; yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,as they and malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called bil iousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condition of the liver, which, in performing its functions, finding it can't dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel, is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, malaria, bilious fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's August Flower. Its cures are marvelous fST Subscriptions to the JOURNAL can begin at any time, at the rate of $1 per year. ! ?
