'X Flea in the Ear" has a Wonderful-
. . , ly Soothing Effect.
Th 3 Republican bosses" of
this county are peculiarly fort
unatoj in quieting every ele
ment of discord in their party.
Had he election came off three
months nrior; to Nov. Wilkes
would have given a good 'Dem
ocratic maioritv. Yet how did
she go in Nov.? and what was
done for tne relief of the peo
ple during this tliree months
time? ! Nothing at all. Still all
their sub-leaders came prompt
ly, to iimei old hatchets hvere
burie 1 and they all worked to
gether in peace and harmony.
The worst; kickers seemed to
the hardest workers for the
party Nptably, Mr. A. L.
Hend ix, of lew Castle town
ship,' 3y the way an excellent
citize i, had been thoroughly
disgruntled with the Republi
can administration of affairs,
and s pecially so at the time of
liis ig iominious defeat for Reg
ister c f Deedsj, when it was gen
rally admitted on altsides that
Mr, Hendrix was by far the
most competent man before :the
conve ition. Y"et New Castle
icame i tp with ,an unusully iarge
republican majority. f U
j-We wer.e betting on Demo
cratic gains in New Castle be
fore the ejection, but a? know
ing re jublican1 said that New
Castle would be. as usual, ; that
f 'a flee had been turned loose
in ller drix's left ear that would
keep h im scouting until j .after
eieetibn,,, andthat before an
other election they would turn
another flea loose in his right
ear, ar d New Castle would still
contin ie devoted to her idols.
Jiist the exact kind of - flea to
be turned loosed, we did not
learn, 3ut since the ; election,
wie lea -n that Mr. Hendrix is
troubh :d with a fearful buzzing
iii left ear after Mastin's place
as Deputy Collector; but we
fear the bee is jmzzing a! false
alarm and in the end 1 Mr. Hen
drix will get left, like -common.
The rbig ones" have endors
ed" botli Hendrix and Mastin,
and f h 3yjBoth..feel condent,j
but the man who gets control
of- the 1 5ry ate end of the undljf-.,
scratching after a little flea in
their left ear. ,
Mr. Thomas Settle must feel
very littlejand mortified at the
means used to secure his elec
tion as Solicitor. It appears
fpom facts developed by the
Winston Sentinel, the Reids
ville Reveiw, and others, that
the bogus ticket method is a
I favorite with Mr. Settle, that
he has employed the same
trick heretbf ore, arid that r the
bous ticket's in the last elec
tion were printed and distrib
uted with Mr. Settle's knowl
edgefand consent. There is no
law covering this kind of fraud
but it is a malicious fraud just
the same, and it should recieve
a rebuke in; thunder tones, at
the bar of public justice.
We have said little about this
matter, because. we had hoped,
and still try to hope, that Mr.
Settle will clear himself of hav
ing assisted in this fraud upon
.the people. But even in that
case, Mr. Settle will present the
spectacle of holding ofiice se
cured by trickery.
An incorrect report hasbeeen
circulated about hero anions:
tho Mothdist Brethern about
the Statesville Landmark, to
the effect that Joe Caldwell
printed Pritchards letter crit
icising Sam Jones, and had re
fused to j publish Dr. Creasy s
reply. Joe Caldwell has prin
ted Creasy's reply and he did it
without being requested to do
so. No one ask him to publish
it, and therefore ho could not
have refused. All reportsvto a
.different 'effect are mistakes.
Joe Caldwell can always be de
pended upon for the square
thing, and hej needs no request
to induco him in the ricrht line.
The next State Senate will
contain only 7 Republicans, and
thojHouse "will have but about
20 Republicans. There will be
two independents' who" will
probably vote with tho Democrats.

Governor Gordon, of
was elected U. S. Senator last
week by the Georgia Legisla
ture. It was I not hardly ex
pected that Gordpn would be
elected a3 the'jAlliance made a
terrible fight against him and
the.-Alliance controlled tho
Legislature by a good majority.
But Gordon got there just the
same. We are glad to see it as
Gordan is almost a Wilkes man.
His parents! moved from
Wilkes, and he has a lot of kin-
folks here.
Bro. H. A. Latham, of. Wash

excellent Reading Clerk of the
House two years ago, is a can
didate for re-election to the
same position. If there is any
set of fellows who do .need po
sitions of the kind it is ' editors.
Bro. Latjiam is an excellent and'
congenial fellow and we under
stand maBe a good Reading
Clerk, and will no doubt be re
elected.
Some of the good Republican
brethren of this county speak,
of the Alliancejas "our party'
That is surely a slander upon
the Alliance. Its constitution
says it is non-partisan. Bui
some j Republicans have their
own idea about! things, consti
tution or no constitiou.

same kind.

the candidates are announcing
themselves, and as The Land

The members or thebar present at the
close or Surry court, the last.court held
by His Honor M. L. McCorkle in the
district, held a meeting, of which C. B.
-Watson was made chairman. The
chairman upon takings his seat state !
the object of meeting to be, that consid
ering Judge McCorkle's sacrefice in ac
cepting the Judgeship, and the efficient
manner in which he has dichraged his
high duties, it is eminently befitting at
this time, the close of his official course,
to give expression-to the esteem in
which he i& held by the members of the
legal profession in this district.
W. L. Reece, S. P. Graves and T. N.
Chaffin were elected Secretaries.
Thos. Settle, R. B. Glenn, A..E. Hol

tions, and made the following report
which was adopted unanimously:
lletolred 1st., That the Hon. M. L.
McCorkle, while riding the circuit- just
closed, has, by his faithful discharge of
the high duties placed upon him, en
deared himself to fhe members of the
bar and the people. He has conducted
himself with dignity at ,all times and
has administered the law with impar
tiality, economy and great eatisfaction
to concerned. His patience inthe trial
of causes and liis courtesy to the mem
bers of the profession and the officers
of the court have been remarkable; and
he returns home with the profound es
teem and love of every lawyer and of
all good citizens in the district.
lletolted 2nd., That the Clerk of. Surry
Superior Court be requested by the Sec
retaries of this meeting to spread these
resolutions upon his minute docket at
the conclusion of the proceedings of the
present Term, as a permanent testimo
nial and fnrnish a copy of the same,
authenticated by his official seal, to
