Scathing Letter from a New Yotk
Bepnbliean.
From the New York Star.
Two -weeks ago W. W. Thomp
son, a very' reputable lawyer of
Albany and a very eloquent cam
paigner for Harrison,was appoint
ed a special pension examiner. He
was pleased enough, of cdurse,and
made a speech to his G. A. R. post
about itl He was going to Wash
ington and they could feel sure
that he would not allow their in
terests to suffer. He came back
from Washington and has been
very silent until last night, when
he forwarded the following letter
to the Hon. Hiram Smith, Jr., of
the interior department, aud the
acting commissioner of pensions:
My Dear Sir During all the
years of .our acquaintance, now
over twenty, I have fonnd you an
honest, capable and sincere gentle
man and friend, worthy of entire
confidence uuder all circumstances
and, I would rely on your word
and honor against the world, if
such a test came. I therefore de
sire through you to place my res
ignation of the office to which I
am named at the disposal of Sec
retary Noble. I caunot accept
the position, nor could I for any
money discharge the duties of that
office, to-wit: Peep into the back
yards of .comrades of the Union
army and reduce or deprive them
of pension $.
I beg to state in this connection
that1 Gen. Noble has fully con
vinced tue country that ne is
wholly a misfit in his present offi
cial relations to the duties of the
interior department, and, like the
National administration of Benja
min Harrison, has made the old
axiom even more sel f-e viden t.t hat
"a one-inch plug cannot fill a four-
inch hole."
I shall remain a Republican in
the dignified position of private
life, willing hereafter to aid in the
selection of loyal Republicans for
official positions, but now and al
ways unwilling to be a part of an
administration which ignores faith
ful service, selects men for impor
tant offices who accept uuder false
pretenses, a in cases of the three
appointees in this city- Republi
cans when their mood and person
al interests are gratified and sub
served. The President may be a man of
good intentions, but these often
pave the paths of discord, and he
has yet to learn that in popular
government the highest official is
a public servant, and, as such, is
under obligations to keep his con
tracts with the sovereign people.
As oue of the people, I could here
name a multitude of broken pro
mises, but I could not name one
made by the President before
election which,sofar as the Union
volunteer is affected, he has faith'
fully kept. Both the President
and General Noble are williug
tools in the hands of claim agents,
and are content to continue the
pension bureau at a cost of over
$20,000,000 per annum more than
is needed to give every surviving
Union soldier $8 per month.
For the above reasons 1 hate
no desire to be any -party however
humble, of the present manage
ment of either the interior depart
ment or the National govern m en t.
I beg to remain, most cordially
yours, W. V. Thompson.
If you feel "out of sorK' cross and
peevish,take Dr. J.H. McLean's Sarsapa
rilla: cheerfulness will return and life
will acquire uew zest
tPyoa are suffering with weak dr in
flartred eyes, or granulated eyelids, yoa

to your system

Fron the Lenoir Topic
At a church meeting held Sat
urday, at Lower Creek Baptist
church, Rev W. A. fool present
ed his resignation as pastor of
that church to take effect Decem
ber 1st, which was reluctantly ac
cepted. Mr. Pool, as will be seen
by an article copied els where from
the Statesville Landmark, has ac
cepted a call to take charge of the
Statesville Baptist church. Mr.
Pool will be much missed by oth
ers in Caldwell besides the mem
bers of the Baptist church; He is
fully established in the esteem
and confidence of our whole peo
ple. He has been for several
years, the efficient Superintend
ent of Public Instruction for this
county. He is also business agent
for the Caldwell count Alliance
Mr. Pool succeeded as pastor oi
Lower Creek Baptist church, Rev.
John B. Powell, one of the best
men this county ever produced
and, when Mr. Powell died, it was
said that the church would have
to seek well to find a man who
coald fill his shoes. They certain
ly found in Mr. Pool one worthy
to wear the mantle of the man of
God who went before .him. The
people of the church are now con
cerned to select a pastor who shall
serve them as acceptably to them
selves and to the public generally
as did the Rev John B. Powell, of
the blessed memory, and as has
the Rev W. A. Pool, of King's
Creek churoh and one or two oth
era who are under Mr. Pool's pas
torate. Several clergymen have
been spokeu of in connection with
the succession, among them Rev.
G. W. Greene, of Moravian Fallsj
Rev. J3.Marsb,-of Conor er; Rev,
I. W. Thomas, of ' Boone Rev L,
P. Gwaltney, of Alexander.
Ready-Prints
As a matter of fact, if the ready
print houses and the sterotype
concerns in the United States
(should stop doing business to
morrow, over four-fifths of the pa
pers in the United States would
have to reduce their size or sus
pend publication. Suspending pub
lication is of course the worst pos
sible disaster that could befall a
publisher or the community in
which the paper is printed) and
reducing the size of a paper in
this age of large sheets would
mean weakness on the part of the
publisher. Putting aside this ques
tion, the use of auxiliary sheets or
sterotype plates should really be
an advantage to any publisher,
for the reason that the class of
matter usually supplied by these
auxiliary concerns is far better
than could be gotten up in any or
dinary weekly newspaper office.
the editorial work much more care
ful and the selection of matter
much more varied. Besides, it is
an economical method, or giving
readers excellent reading matter.
The fact that ready-print houses
and sterotype concern's are doing
more business to-day than ever
before, shows the tendency of pub
lishers to use general reading mat
ter, and we think it will continue
to increase until even the largest
and most prosperous country week
lies will use more or less auxiliary
readiug.
Is Corisumptioii Incurable?
Read the following: Mr. C. H Morrla,
Newark, 4rk., says: "Was down with
abscess of lungs, and friends and phy
sicians pronounced me an incurable con
sumptive. Began taking Dr. King's
New Discovery for consumption; am
now on my thin- bottle, and able to
oversee the work on my farm. It is the
finest medic ne ever made." Jesse
Middleware Decatur, Ohio, says: 4,Had ,
it not beerrt for Dr. King's New Discov
ery for consumption 1 would have died
of lung trouble. Was given ap by doc
tors. Am now in best of health." Try
it. Sample bottle free at Dr. R. B. Kil-

Two debnty United States mar
shals arrived at Jackson, Ten n.,
last Friday morning having in
custody Bill Matton, the oldest
moonshiner in Southwestern Ken
tucky. West Tennessee officers
have been looking for him for the
past twenty-five years. He was
captured. on the Tennessee river
while selling fish. In 1879 a posse
weat out from Mayfield, Ky to
;apture Matton. He turned the
tables, capturing the guns and
routing the officers.
At Greenville, Ala., last Satur
day morning, a quarrel between a
negro and a young white man
named Roberts connected with
Burke's horse show, resulted in
the negro pouring gasoline over
Roberts,and anoher negro touched
off the fluid with a lighted lamp
and in an instant Roberts was en
veloped in flames. He rah wildly
up and down the street until he
was exhausted. He was literally
roasted alive One of the negroes
was arrested, but the other es
caped. An immense prairie fire, many
miles in extent, is raging within a
few miles of -Bismarck; N. D. Ef
forts of farmers to check the huge
conflagration have been unavail

have already been destroyed. A
strong wind has been helping the
fire along, and the flames make
leaps of over twenty feet. The
village of Menoken, fourteen miles
below Bismarck, is entirely swept
away and the inhabitants are re
ported destitute. Of he wind is
rapidly carrying the fire to Bis
marck, and the city is enveloped
iu smoke and cinders.
