DEAL, Editor and Proprietor. y Entered at the Post-office in Wilkesboro &s second-class matter. THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 4, 1894. A severe storm is passing along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, doing great damage. f , The fusion business, is noth ing more than a kind of bar gain and sale for office. There is no principle connected with it, except a desire for office. It is getting about time of the year for Democrats to g to work, if they expect to car 'ry this election. It wont be any holiday or picnic occasion, either. Reports all over the business centers of the U. S. are to the effect that the Democratic tar iff bill is giving an impetus to business. , jot the monopolies, and. so Forsythe Republicans have nominated a straight ticket. and there is no fusion in For sythe. Mr. Mott was present ap the convention and the Win s xrn Daily says of him: "Marshall Mott, who was on hand, responded to a call for a speech. His line of argument seemed to be in relating jokes. I'e is a good talker, but if he isn't self-conceited his face and eneral appearance does him reat injustice. He announc ed tnat he and Mr. $arber would have a joint discussion Here Saturday night; that their canvass thus far had been very pleasant and that they propos ed to continue on that line." say tomorrow he is overwhelming ly on top. When he went to the Senate it was thought he would surely be eclipsed, but ask Hale, Hoar, Sherman, Vor hees, Harris or Gorman, if -he was. His defense of Cleveland in reply to Gorman's attack puts him at the head of deba ters. Hill sees the reaction all aver the country in favor of De mocracy, and is no doubt fig uring on the presidency. Prof. Peacock has been .placed in charge of Greensboro Female College, until a succes sor to Rev. Mr. Reid, deceased, can be selected by the Board , .of Directors. Caldwell court for the murder of Mark Phillips, colored, and convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The killing was done in a drunken row. Of course the Democratic tariff bill is ruining the coun try. It has only been in effect a few weeks, and salt per bag of 125 pounds is 55 cents now, where it was 75 cents before. Of course everything is going to the dogs, even the republi can party. Rev. Frank L. Reid, Presi dent of Greensboro Female College, died ort the morning of the 24th of Sept., after a short illness of catarrh of the stomach. By his death a prom pent figure in the religious nd educational interests of the tate has passed away. He was born in Rockingham county, and was 43 years old, ;ie joined the Methodist confer once in 1870 and served as a circuit preacher for some years. 1878 he became editor of the Raleigh Christian Advocate, vnere he remained till 1893 vhen he was elected president Of the Female college at Greens i boro. He was "Fusion" failed to "fuse" in Forsyth, because the would-be "fiisionists" could not agree upon the proportion of "fusing" each side was entitled to. The populists went ahead and se lected a full ticket. The reps now have an opportunity to show their faith in the efficacy of "fusion" by endorsing the ticket of the pops. That was a horrible murder which occurred at the Long Island Cotton Mills in Catawba county one night last week. Mr. James, Brown, superinten dent of the mills, had been missing goods from his store. That night he slept in the store to catch the burglar. The bur glar came and Mr. Brown was killed'in the struggle. There is no clue to the perpetrator of the deed. "Jack the Ripper" changed himself to "Jack has the Whipper," and is now at Washington Park, Chicago. He is strictly and heroically opposed to seeing women ride bicycles, and' he hides himself in the park, waits till the bicy yrclist - comes along, when: he rushes out with a double action rawhide and uses it without mercy. It's not a very i bad ' idea after ail. - - ' a Salt 55 cents per sack instead )f 75 x; cents; fertilizers have fallen from 20 to 30 cents, per sack; clothing isa great deal cheaper; $5 suits for $3, $10 suits for $7, and so on; ; hard .ware cheaper, farming utensils all getting cheaper, and mar kets for farm products begin ning to open up; and ther dem , ocratic tariff only j beeii in,i ef feet a little iover ' a month. And yet Col. Linney says he would destroy all;these vajtivan- ; - tages to the people ,by re-enact-, ing the McKinley lav in .favor Well, you missed the- oppor tunity of your life if you didn't get to hear Brer Mastin, Brer Call and Brer Smoak, hollow for Linney, Saturday. The chorus was most excellent. How the Vote Stood. . The Raleigh Observer gives the following analysis o the vote on the repeal of the Sher man purchasing act, and the Bland silver bUl: In the House or Representatives, on the vote to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, one hundred and thirty-eight Democrats and ' one hun dred and one Republicans voted "yea;" and seventy-four Democrats, twenty five Republicans, six Populists, two Independents, and one silverite voted "nay," the bill therefore passing the House by a vote of 239 to 10S. In the Senate twentj'- Democrats and ice and Mr. Glenn is '.'traveling' from one end of the State to the other. What position does he occupy? Is he a "noser?" He will bear watching, any way. He passes through Win ston every few days, If'r as the Pojmlists about here claim, the Democratic tar iff bill was framed by the "su gar trust," how came all their members in the lower House of Congress and two of their Sen ators to vote for it? Why also does the president of the sugar trust denounce the bill and state that - two thirds of the profits given the trust under the republican law have been destroyed by the democratic law? Boomer Items. Winter will soon be here and the baby will need some shoes. You can get them at Boomer. A protracted meeting com menced on last Sunday at Rus sell's meeting house about one mile from here. Rev. George Sherrill will preach at the new Advent church on the first Sunday in October. There has been some lumber hauled far the building of the and nineteen Democrats ten Republi- j Methodist church here, and we cans, one Populist, one Independent, hope work Yull SOOn begin. a great man. Mr. Linney in speaking of ,vool industry in his speech nere, saia tnree or lour years iigo wooL brought 40 cents per Dound, but that the democrat- c tariff had killed the indus ry and brought the price clown to 15 or 20 cents. He failed to tell the truth as is usually the case) and exDlain that about "three-''or four" years ago the Republi can McKinley bill became the law, with its "high protection" and wool gradually declined to L5 and 18 cents from 40 cents, and under the Democratic tar iff bill which has been the law only a little over a month, the price of wool is gradually ris ing. The average advance in one month under the Demo cratic tariff is about three cts per pound on all grades. The Democratic tariff is assisting the restoration of the wool in dustry which the Republican tariff almost destroyed. David B. Hill. David B. Hill seems to be "in it" whether he wants to be or not. The New York convention which met last week nomina ted him for governor, unani mously, after he had refused to allow his name to go before the convention. The people were determined that he should be the candidate, and made the fact known in a very explicit manner. Hill's speech at the convention- was one of the best on record. He praised the Cleveland administration, its honesty, economy, etc., and showed that - the : Democratic tariff bill, although he had fought it because ifc does not contain as much tariff reform as it should, is a great improve ment on the McKinley tariff, and that business Ms fast im proving under the democratic bill. Hill left ike governor's chair to go the Senate; he will return from the Senate to the governor's chair. He is un doubtedly the boldest "politician, in the "United- States, 'Cleve land not excepted, and when today ysu think: he 1 is down, and one Farmers' Alliance voted "nay," the bill passing by a vote of 43 to o2. In the House of Representatives the bill providing for the . coinage of the seigniorage of silver, known as the i Bland bill, was passed by a vote of 16S to 129; one hundred and thirty-eight Democrats, twenty-one Republicans, six Populists, two Independents and one Silverite voting "yea;" and forty nine Democrats and eighty Republicans voting '"nay." In the Senatei the bill passed by a vote of 44 to 31; thirty Democrats, elev en Republicans, one Populist, one Far mers' Alliance and one Independent voting 'yea,'a.d;teavPemocrats and twenty-one Eltepublicans votihg-iay." 1 Sharp Cut of the Whip Saves Their Money and Lives. Joe Robertson tells the fol lowing in his News: A few days ago as Messrs. J. L. Cot trell and J. C. Horton were returning from a visit to Watauga county they were held up. by two foot pads in the Watson neighborhood in the above county. From one of the above gentlemen we gather the facts as follows: They saw two men in front of them about 150 yards, who seemed to be abusing each other, when near them one drew a -38 calibre pistol and continued to curse his pal. When the above gentlemen got opposite them one of them said, as he drew another 38 calibre pistol, "G d yoc, stop," and the other grabbed the wheel of the buggy. The "boys" were naturally a little excited and one of them tried to get out, but settled back in the seat and they began to talk to robbers. It is not a very pleas ant feeling to have two 38's staring one in the face, especially when one is not armed, and the young mevk resorted to strategy. One of the robbers pulled a bottle of whiskey and commanded them to drink, but they only went through the motion, when the- foot pads remarked that neither had touched a drop and said that they had to drink some. Another parley ensued during which time the would-be robbers', minds were diverted, when Mr. Cot trell, who was driving, gave the horse a sharp cut with the whip and they were soon out of reach. . The gentlemen think that the whis key was drugged and if the robbers could have forced them to drink it they would have been robbed of all they had with them. It was a thrilling episode and neitheT will scon forget it. Is lie a "Noser?" Winston Daily) v ' f . . ,; . Tyre '.Glenn, of Greensboro, was elected secretary of the State Republican j Executive Committee, but some days ago he told a Record, man that he was not going to 'j serve that he had all he could do to look after "keeping things cooVf the ice' business. All the same the: Record, 1 ear n s th at- a su b stitute has beea placed on the When it is completed it will make three churches for our little village. Hurrah for Boomer! Mr. Watson is getting along finely with his shop building and will soon have it ready for woric. We need a good black smith shop here and we hope Mr. Watson-wjll continue here. The, Boomer and Salem base ball teams met on the Salem grounds on last Saturday and played a fine game which re sulted in 41 for Salem and 16 for Boomer. . The Boomer boys had a fine time, but would have had better if the boys had been looking for us. Julius Csap. -' - . ,. . . . t ' f. :- ... M Me flay Wiile ffie Sm SMaes."

STATESVILLE, N.CMay Slslfe-; - ' . - . ri us wft A Bad Story, If True Observer ) From Marion county, Ga.T comes the story of the existence of an oath bound society secretly organized by the Popu lists under the name of United Broth ers. They bind themselves to s,tand together to resist laws sought to be en lorced against them, and never to allow any of their number to be either shot or hanged. ' One of the obligations is that whenever one of the members is drawn on a jury he will not allow a ver dict to be rendered against a brother member.
