The' manu facturer must pay the tax here after before selling or remov ing them. But every dealer is required, under a penalty of $50 for each offence, to make a sworn statement of the amount of packs of cards on hand the 28th day of Aug,, and to pay the tax on them. This should be done right away, so as to save trouble. tail, and 1. i The Eaves straight out Re publican faction was severely "downed" at the State conven tion the 30th. The "confusion -ists" won the day and endorsed the work of the State populist convention, entire as the j Stat 3 candidates.

Glascock, formerly ofl Statesville, who " married Mi-ssI Carrie Brady, of one of, Ire dell's prominent families, has sued for divorce, 'and the Sil ver Senator ot Nevada, Hon. wm.'M.' Stewart, is named as co-respondent. Stewart claims that it is an attempt at black mail. :r ?atAshe, as jssie seen elGewhere, is a candidate for the U. S. Senate to succeed the "lamented Vance. Capt. Ashe is One of the most thoroughly equipped and experienced gen tleman in the State, and no man has fought better in the 'j Democratic ranks than he. XUapt. - Ashe lives at Raleigh, . ' but if he is elected, the Chuon jcle will raise nonobjection. The Republican "confusion- 5stsJ' claim that the republicans and populists are together on State 'matters. That is hardly true. Republicans favor a change in county government. s Populists do not; at least the . populist State convention wouid not endorse any change - of county government. In fact some of the leaders de b ciared they would withdraw from the party, should the con vention eridnrscj any such thin "A free ballot and fair count"vSeems to be the only battle cry of the "conf union ists." Bless their "hollow footed souls," there is no oppo sition to that in the entire State unless it be among their own ranks. Elections have been fair in North Carolina, so far as tne Democrats could pro cure with the opposition they have had, ever since the feder al troops have been withdrawn Of course; under the supervi sion of that period of radical troops and bayonets we cannot tell, as the elections were vir tually held in South Carolina and counted to suit themselves. The battle cry for "a, free bal lot" comes too late, unless it be as a warning for the people not to return the Republicans to power. 94 Judsre Battle, who is presid- 1 ine: at this1 court, has never been among us before, but he has made a splendid impression upon bur people. He is one of the most perfect gentlemen in every, respect that the State can boast of a State who prides herself upon the splendid specimens of gentlemanly man hood and womanly womanhood. His charge to the grand jury testifed to his qualification and worthiness to sit in judgment over his fellowmen. His ex planation of the law and the duties to be performed by the grand jury, while simple, was comprehensive, and each juror eft the room with an intelli gent knowledge of what is re quired of him. is a great deal more healthy. But the leaders whose appe tites have been sharply whet ted by an inordinate desire for office decided to have a public demonstration of the beauties of ''reciprocity of swallowing." The pop leaders agreed to try it first, ail the. while laughing in their sleeves and whisper ing to each other that it was just the very thing for which theyjiad been wishing ever since th party was conceived. They swallowed nobly all over the State. The reps promised, to follow. suit, and although it was a hard matter to convince some of them that the morsel was good and although they did not do exactly so well all over the State as the pops, the office seeking reps opened wide their goozles and swallowed, ali the while dreaming of the offices they'll never get. They have swallowed till they're ali "out of sight," and it only re mains for the good honest peo ple of both parties, while their leaders are engaged in the pleasant passtime of swallow ing each other, to come out and vote for the visible party, "VST., HON. W. II. BOWER. Sth Present Congressman from the District and "Candidate for Ke-election, being the Democratic Nominee. The following sketch of the life of Congressman Hort Bow er is taken from the Charlotte Observer: Counties Alexander, Ashe, Allegha- Surry and Forsyth were not in the dis trict and .Lincoln was. xnere was a three-cornered contest for the nomina tion, Wjikes presenting the name of the old member, Hon. W. H. H. Cowles, Lincoln that of Maj. W. Ai ' Graham, and Caldwell that of Mr. Bower. On the 147th ballot Col. Cowles was reriom fnated. The young solicitor from Cald well was well-known to all the moun tarn people as an able lawyer, . an elo quent speaker and a superb campaign er, but he was a comparative stranger W the delegates-from the tieriof south counties.

His course in Congress has met with the j approba tion of his constituents in every portion of the district, and he is very ! popular, as is shown by his having been twice nominated for Congress without opposi tion. 1 In personal appearance Mr. Bower is stalwart, fine-looking, handsome. He has an even temper and the jollity and good nature that proverbially i belongs tofatrnen. He is a born politician, notteo much because he is an adept in its arts as because he is in such close toucli with the people and in full sym pathy with them and their aspirations. His friends claim that there is much ill his cireerv just opening upon the broad field; of policies, that reminds, them of the beginning of the lamented ; "Vances brilliant course through the political ' heavens. , Since 1882 he has never failed tn t.akp.

He never fails to- interest his audiences and he always gains their cqnfidence. As a public speaker he is easy and graceful, has a good voice and is gifted with eloquence. He seasons his argument with apt anecdotes and illustrations, of which he is "reminded', by the subject matter of his speeches and which he relates with a gusto that smacks greatly of Vance.

Since the monazite mining industry has opened in adjoining counties, search has been made for it in Mecklenburg.

Blon&zite in appearance generally 're sembles yellowish brown sand," though the Braziliian article has a bright gold en hue- It is much: heavier than silica sand, and sometimes is distinguished by its peculiar crystilizations.
