I Millions of Americans, and more especially North Carolin a ians, are sad today on account of the death of Zebulon Baird ance. which occurred Satur day, at 11 o'clock p.m., Wash ington. He has been suffering for - sometime, and, although his death was not unexpected, the sad news falls like a shroud of sorrow upon every household in the State which loved him so Born of the people, he was a Commoner and a Tribune of the people, and his life has been spent in the service of his peo ple. North Carolina has never had a nobler, grander son, or one that she has loved more, nor has she evar borne a son which loved her more, or who has stood so unflinchingly true to her and the interests of her ' people, whether amid storm or sunshine,; conflict or peace. ' And like the Sentinels that stood guard at the gates of Pompeii, during that terrible destruction from the eruption of Vesuvius, and were after wards found dead, but still standing at the post of duty, death found him at his post of duty where his people had placed him, st.li "in harness," still battling for the land he loved, amid the convulsions of " the political Vesuvius and the encroachments upon the rights of the people whom he repre sented One. of the graudest characters of America is gone ; but "The earth, which bears him dead, Bears not alive so stout a gentleman." As calm and gentle and kind and peaceful as the summer breeze which bathes and kisses the summits about ' -gombroon" and as rigidly ruggedly true and hones as the ragged rocks about his mountain home, there is no tribute or eulogium form ed into language that could be too fllattering to his memory. , The following, synopsis of his public career is taken from the Charlotte Observer : Zebulon B. Vance was born in Bun combe county, N. C, May 13, 1830; was educated in Washington College, Tenn., .and at the University of North Carolina; studied law, was admitted to the bar in January, 1853, and was elected county - attorney vf or Buncombe county the same year; was a member of the State House of Commons in 1854; was a Representa tive from North Carolina in the Thirty fifth and Thirty-sixth Congresses; en tered the Confederate army as captain in May, 1861, and was made colonel in August,; 1861; was elected Governor of North Carolina in August, 1862, and re elected in August, 1364; was elected to . the U. S. Senate in November, 1870, but was refused admission and resigned in January, 1872; was the Democratic nom jWe f or the U. S. Senate in 1872, but was defeated by a combination of bolting Democrats and Republicans; was elected Ooveruor of North Carolina for the third 'time in lSTewas elected to tho U.' S. Senate as a;Democrat in place of ; A. S. Merriraon, Democrat took his seat March 18, 1$79; and was re -elected in 1884 and 1890.: His term of service would have expired March 3, 1S97. The body of the great North rorAiinian will be laid to rest aimj'Tftnrifwr. m& 1894. Yjf -Hit Asheville. -Charles IS. Moore, editor of Blade,' at Lexingion, Ky., ' has heenihdicted for blasphemy, andJs now in - jail there. His j nd i ctment is' at the: instigation of the churches there. He. was jxi dieted and placed i n j ail about a year ago, at Paris, Ivy for the ;same," offence. Hepruns what is called a prohibition arid infidel papen: Prohibition and infidelism ddn't seem to be a very profitable-combination, ex i cept it is aff ordingEditor Moore a Place to board at the county's . I W 1 1 expense, it may De possioie I that the editors of this country 1 have tpniake4lieir living Batter Patronize Home Folxs ;Wh! Peo)le are comPlain- mg su upuu ai uie scaruiby ui mopey in this part of the moral virleyardj it will not be out of thd way to make an observation or two. ' Judging from the State in 1863 for various pur money order work at theWilkes poses; among them several hun boro post office, our people are , dred thousand dollars in aid of trying to send away what little , the Chatham Railroad Co., for money is left in the country, j the purpose of building a rail For the last several weeks, this ; road from Raleigh to the coal oflace has been sending out a bout an average over $200 per week, while during that time there has not been sent from outside into this office over $-'0 all told. This money is being ser.t out of the county by peo ple from different parts of the coiinty, and in a great many in stances this money is sent away for things that could be bought rignt here at home, and the money kept among us. And yet these people, after sending the money clear away where we will never have the chance to see it again, spend a great dezl of their time comp'aiuiug of ey tiard times, scarcity of mon and demeaning whatever administration is in power. Again, there is no estimating the amount of clean cash that is being sent away from the county and out of reach by these humbug patent right perform ances. Of course these7 men who take hold of such things exriect to make a "lift" of cash out of it, but tney and the county are the ones that always geti "lifted." And what little money these patent right men leave the "foreign" building ana loan boys come in and gob ble up. And still we clamor a bout hard times. Of course tin es are hard. Who denies it ? And how do you expect it to be otherwise ? Ifeople have always been fas cinated with the idea that any thing "foreign" is a great deal better than what you can get from your next door neighbor and thus keep the money at home. A slick tongued fellow from a distance, representing some concern that will take money clear out of reach for v6r, can come around and get money out of the people, no matter how hard times are ; but a nome aewspaper man, or home some other kind of busi ness man, is met with the cry, "On, times are too hard," and then break loose with a tirade of abuse abainst the govern ment, the moon, stars, or any otb er imaginary thing, which haji little, or nothing, to do with it. If nothing else can be thcught of to relieve the people of iheir cash, some patent'med icine vender will com around with some kind 'horse raddish headache drops. And, of course the people bite, for people love to bite and get bit. The Chronicle has argued against such performances all its kife and will continue to do so till death, altnough it is not popular to do so. Our preach- in di ro far: has had but little ef- feet, but we hope it ; will be as bread cast upon the water, and we know its effects will return ere long, if the performances are not soon stopped, for there will be no money, in the county to ceep it' up with. J ? ' The Democratic caucuss of the -House has deciaedto repeal the- 10 , 'p r cent tax on State banks. Good I .if Grover doesn't veto it. Big Snit A?alnst the State. An interesting case, and on fc- L - U H all - 1 I A A. vvmuu wm mvoive a largo - mount of money, has been m- stituted in the Supreme Court by the attorneys of Calvin J. Cowles, of Wilkesboro, asking that $10,000 w,rth of repudiated bonds, held by him, be declared vaim ana Dinaing against iubi State. . The case grows out ola large amount of bonds issued by the fields of Chatham county and opening up the Cape Fear and Deep river sections. The complaint has been served on the Governor, req est ing him to employ council to appear in behalf of the State, and as such a case requires 20 days notice it will not be tried within that time. Other suits will follow, ts there are some $250,000 of the, bonds now out standing. The North Carolin. ean. The North Carolinian is wrong in classing the bonds sued on by Mr. Cowles as repu diated. They were declared to i be valid and bindingobligations of the State by a Legislative committee in 1868, , of which Hon. Jas. C. Harper was chair man. The report which em braced these, as well as some other claims, winding up with these words : "They (we) are not quite sure that the State, shorn as , she is of available means, will be able to pay promptly all her honest obliga tions as they mature, but tney are sure that her honor demands emphatically that she should bravely and honestly acknow ledge them now, and at all times and pay t?hen she can." War bonds and Special Tax bonds were repudiated, these have been neglected. Card from the "Two Players." We notice in the N. Wilkes boro News, of last week, a re port of the base ball game at Boomer, in which the "two Wilkesboro" players are unjust ly and wrongfully criticised. We played with the Boomer nine, because we were asked to do so, and the contesting nines agreed to it; and the N. Wilkes boro boys had, to help them, a Winston boy and a Wilkesboro boy. W e played honestly, squarely and gentlemanly with all parties, North Wilkesboro, Boomer, or what not, and the informant of The News, when he says that the "two Wilkes boro" players, were the instiga tors and agitators of the "great deal of kicking, ' states what he knows is a misrepresentation of facts. The only "agitating" and indecent conduct and lan guage, that we noticed, was that of one of the North Wilkes boro nine, who used language concerning one of the Boomer boys, away from his hearing, which is not considered exactly gentlemanly conduct in the good old "State of Wilkes." That was the only thing that disturbed the pleasantness of the occasion, that we know of, and we are not responsible for that . We are sorry ,that it has come to the pass that we can't take a: friendly,,!' gentlemanly game of ball, or sjaything else, without our neighbors across the river choosing us v(and: all Wilkesboro too); for the object of their ill feeling spleen i anil jealousy. 1 - - . x i The "Two; Platers from Wilkesboro.

And considering all the cir cumstances we l(jk back to it as a year of remarkable progress, made so, in pnr judgement by the fact that our aim has been not to see how much profit Vu could make in a single season, but how low we could sell our goods arid our persistent and continuous efforts in driving down prices has brought us the in creased business we have been working for. - An ounce of experience is worth a pound of logic and, with the results of our past efforts before us4 we see our way clear to take a decided ste? forward, and with the opening of our new stock shall deal some sledge hammer blows in tht way of low prices that will speak louder than any any advertisements we can make. . - Knowing that every dollar we can save our customers will prove an equiva lent gain to ourselves, and that we have never been so well prepared to, serv you as we are at this time, it aff ords usmusual pleasure to again solicit youjr valued trade.
