IDNESDAY, JAN. 21, 1891.
Tance He-nominated anS Elected.
O i the night of the .12th the
Democratic j members of the
Legislature field a joint caucus
and j nominated Zebulon B.
Van ce to be liis own successor as
U. Senator from North Car
olina. The nomination ; was
mac e by acclamation amidst
the wildest enthusiasm. . There
was not a dissenting voice, but
members froin all section spoke
heartily endorsing TVance.
To-day, the 20th, the Legis
lature liolds a joint session to
elect Senator! Vance will re
cieve the solid Democratic sup
pon while the Republicans
will give their scanty votes to
J. C . Pritchard, of Madison.
T iere is not an abler or more
honest Senator in the U. S.
Senate, and our people have
nevar had a more faithful rep
resc ntative than Vance, and
his unanimous return is a mer
ited complimeiit to Vance and
honor to the State. .

to straighten out the Railroads

somebody's friends can have an

are a veritable sin, ajfd one
fellow has introduced a bill to
prohibit all free passes. Now
then, some other "patriot"

Besides it is of equalimpor

Good Signs.
We are receiving new proofs
every now and then of our ex
istence in this country and that
we are becoming more closely
connected with the out side
world and are fast taking our.
position among the kingdoms
of the country. The latest in
dication of progress and auspi
cious sign is the fact that the
daily papers are beginning to
reach our office upon the same
day they are printed. The first
daily to begin its quick visits
was the pleasant and progres
sive Charlotte Chronicle, which
we are always anxiously await
ing. Tho next to begin follow
ing suit was the staid, solid,
and conservative News & Ob
server, of whoe fatherly coun
sel we love to learn. And now
the bright and sprightly State
Chronicle is beginning to reach
us on the day of publication..
Of course this is the case only
when the mail service all along
the line is properly rendered.
Surely these are auspicous
signs, and the speedy develop
ment of this, the loveliest, land
beneath tne circle of sun, is
becoming beautifully less an
irredescent dream, but a glo
rious fact, j
We have one regret yet which
we hope to be overcome when
we ge our through line to the
