THE DEMOCRAT. E. E. HILLIARD, - - - - Editor. Iil,!i.-l,ed Every Thursday. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 'J3. Entrrnl nt thr I'ost-OJfirf at Srothnul Xfch, X. (, at Srcond i'lnxx Mnttrr. Ovkk in Morocco tlie Spaniards are having a warm time of it. The triljc of Rifliaiw are at war with them, and in a hattle lat week the Spaniard lost their general. It i said that over a hundred thous and people attended the funeral cere monies of 'arter Harrison in Chicago last week. That shows the high honor in which he was held hy his people. Thk great fair at Chicago made $ 21, 000,000. That means that it has more than paid its indebtedness and lias some money left. That makes it a financial success in this great year of panics and losses. Temi'Okakv commissions have been issued to Messrs. Simmons and Klias. and they will now enter uixn their duties as collectors in their respective districts. Their appointments, how ever, have lapsed and they will have to be reappointed. Thk Raleigh bar has unanimously recommended Mr. R. H. Rattle, of Ra leigh, for the position of circuit court judge to succeed the late Judge Bond. There are many candidates in the held, and it will doubtless take the President a good while to consider the merits of each one. The pay is $0,000 a year. Slxf'E Prendergrast killed Carter Har rison last week, a regular cyclone of cranks has broken loose in New York, anxiously traversing the metropolis to kill somebody. Several have been placed behind the bars for demanding large sums of money from rich men. Con;kkss has. done one good thing, if it never does another. The Senate lias refused to confirm the appoint ment of C C. Astwood, the New York negro that Mr. Cleveland appointed as consul to Colair, France. We are glad of this, localise we are opposed to send ing negroes to represent the United States at white governments. Cottox dropped down in price about the time the final vote was taken on the repeal bill, but it has again gone back to its original place. The advo cates of the repeal said prosperity would come to the country if the bill "went through. We are now waiting for a little prosjerity. "David B. Hill is the best Demo crat in New York State," but that is rather a poor compliment to pay him ; for, if we are to judge from present ap pearances there are no sound Demo crats there. New York democracy and North Carolina democracy are as dif ferent as a yellow dog and a mountain stag. Mr. HonxisLowER lias after all, fail ed to get the plum. The Senate has adjourned without acting upon his ap pointment and so the appointment lapses, and Mr. Cleveland will have to apiint him again, if he still desires him to have it. It is to be hoped that Mr. Cleveland will look elsewhere than New York for a man. Somehow we can't help from lelieving that he could find a more euphonious name elsewhere. Col. J. H. Hook, of Virginia, who was appointed Consul general at Amoy, China, last spring, lias lost his place by his delay in going to his field. He set out last week for China, but was stoii Ied in San Francisco by a telegram, announcing his removal from the place. It is said that the President was induc ed to remove him on account of cer tain charges against him as to his in tegrity and sobriety. Delays are dan gerous. Cox;i:i:ss is now talking of adjourn ing, but if we can see an inch from our nose, they've got no business adjourn ing yet. The silver question is a small one compared with the tariff. We have all the while thought that the tariff ought to have been the first thing brought before the attention of this congress, and it ought now to be brought up and reformed before any Christmas turkey is eaten by anybody. But Congress lias adjourned since the aliove was put in type. Thk Dkmockal joins his many friends throughout the State in sympa thizing with editor J. p. Caldwell, ot the Charlotte Uhxerver, in the death of bis estimable wife, which occurred at Statesville a few days ago. "ar.n focY" sfxath:s. The Novcmler numlrf-r of the Fonim ha an article in it concerning the .Sen ate of the United States. We don't know who the writer is. He lorgot to sign his name. But there are some things that he says in the course of his remarks that are interesting, if not amusing. He divides the present Senate into five classes: (1) Senators of the old tyjrf? and traditions ; (2) Senators who are professional politicians and have won their seats by political manipula tion ; (3) Senators who have reached their positions mainly by reason of their wealth ; (I) Accidental Senators ; (.") Old fogy Senators. In the first class we noticed among others the names of Senators Sherman. Hawley, and Mills. They are perhaps the best known ones under that head, and according to the writer's view come nearer representing the old glory of that body, when Webster, Clay, and Calhoun were the great lights. In his second class of professional politicians the best known examples are Senators Hill and Gorman. He says these men owe their positions to the methods used by word politicians. Among those who secured their seats in the Senate because of their wealth are the two Nevada Senators and Price of Ohio. In the class of accidental Senators the best known are Alien of Nebraska and PefTer of Kansas. Among those of his fifth class, old fogy Senators, we find quite a long list of them all from the South. We quote one of his paragraphs : '(") The old fogies of the Senate in clude many men who originally could lay claims to Senatorial fitness but who have grown old mentally or tempera mentally and are now rather hindran ces than helps to the nation's progress. This class is naturally large from the Southern States because of the strong and almost pardonable tendency to honor the dignitaries who did conspic uous service a generation ago, many of whom too. owe their scats to the fact that, but for the salary they re ceive, it would be difficult for them to earn a living. This class includes Mr. Bate, of Tennessee ; Mr. Berry, of Ar kansas ; Mr. George, of Mississippi ; Mr. Gordon, of Georgia; Mr. Harris, of Tennessee ; Mr. Jones, of Arkansas ; Mr. Ransom, of North Carolina; Mr. Vance of North Carolina; Mr. Hunton, of Virginia." It is altogether a remarkable pro duction. In reading it one can almost hear the hum of the gold bug's wings. But it is a well written article and con tains a great deal more truth in it than error. But does it contain the whole truth? Are the great States of the South sending "old fogies" to represent them in the highest legislative body in the world? Our nameless writer thinks so, but the Southern people hasn't discovered it yet, and where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be otherwise. We have expected the Wilmington Mesxriujrr to comment on the article in question as its scholarly editor is a regular reader of the Forum, we believe, and we shall be glad to know his opin ion. THE PRESIDENT'S PIIOC LA MA TIOX. "While the American people every day remember with praise and thanks giving the Divine goodness and mercy which have followed them since their beginning as a nation, it is fitting that one day in each year should be espec ially devoted to the contemplation of the blessings we have received from the hand of God, and to the grateful acknowledgment of His loving kind ness. '"Therefore. I, (J rover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of the present month of November, as a day of thanks giving and praise to be kept and ob served by all the people of our land. On that day let ns forego our ordinary work and employments, and assemble in our usual places of worship, where we may recall all that God has done for us and where from grateful hearts our united tribute of praise and song may reach the throne of grace. Let the reunion of kindred and the social meeting of friends lend cheer and en joyment to the day. and let generous gifts of charity hr the relief of the poor and needy prove the sincerity of our thanksgiving." 'Nothing succeed like success," and nothing will more quickly insure success than true merit. For fifty years, Ayer's Sarsaparilla has maintain ed its popularity as the superior blood, purifier. It stands upon its own mer its and never fails to give satisfaction. MAXTOX AX It dfxx. TWO NEW TOWNtJ OF RAPID GROWTH. Robeson, Cumberland and Harnett. EJitori'i! ('urn zpfnxlrrice.') I); nx, n. :.. Nov. i. j If railroads were its careful to make intersections with each other at joints possible for towns to grow up as they are to cross in the mo.-t hopeless places, there would be more flouri-hing towns built at the railroad cros.-ings. The.-e reflections were suggested to me while waiting an hour or two Monday night at Pembroke in Ro!eson county, near the place made memorable in North Carolina history by the name of Henry Perry Lowry. It is at the cross ing of the Atlantic Coast Line from Wilson to Florence with the Carolina Central from Wilmington to Hamlet. The jteople of Scotland Neck and Eas tern Carolina generally rememler how the Scotland Neck and Kinston road was run half way between Bethel and Robersonville, almost killing both these towns and crossing the Albemarle and Raleigh road at a place most forbidding for a town. About such place is Pem broke. MAXTOX. From this desolate crossing I took the train for Maxton, which was for merly known as Shoe I reel. After changing its name several times the present name settled upon the town, and it is a good name for a good town. The people arc very kind and hospita ble o all who come within their gates. The Robeson Baptist Association was the occasion that called me to Maxton, and! found everybody in readiness for it and glad to welcome all delegates and visitors. My two days' visit to the As sociation was made more than ordina rily pleasant by the warm hospitality which I enjoyed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lathrop. One doubts no long er that life is worth living after spend ing a day in such a home. The Baptist church in Maxton was too small to hold the crowds that at tended the meeting of the Association ; so the Presbyterians kindly tendered the use of their church to the Baptists, who gladly accepted the offer and held all the sessions of the Association in the Presbyterian church. Rev. Mr. Pittman, of Robeson coun ty, was presiding officer, and E. K. Proctor, Esq., of Lumberton was clerk. These gentlemen have held their of fices for some time and serve the Asso ciation so faithfully and satisfactorily that there is no desire for a change. Mr. Pittman is a preacher of great in fluence and Mr. Froctor is one of the leading young lawyers of the State. The business of the body was dis patched with ease and rapidity, and every object that came before it was well considered and equally well sus tained. Robeson county is one ot the best counties in the Southern part of the State, and there is considerable prog ress there, especially along educational lines. Within the past year a fine in stitution of learning has been opened at Lumberton, with Prof. John Duck ett, late of Hamilton, principal. The people of the county are very enthusi astic and expect to make it a great in stitution. It has an endowment of sev eral thousand dollars and has enrolled 12") students already. In Robeson county the turpentime business still flourishes. The jteople are prosperous :md do as little grumb ling as in" any section I have seen throughout the State. LITTLE RIVER. Leaving Maxton on Thursday morn ing I travelled by way of Fayetteville to Dunn. At Fayetteville everything was in a bustle for the Fair. Trains were crowded, streets were thronged and things had a sort of buzz that made one feel like he was in a pretty good town. Dunn is perhaps the most remarka ble town in Eastern North Carolina. It has a growth of onlv about seven years, and already it rivals and outstrip mam- other towns in the State that are iwentv vears old and more. As I pro pose to visit Dunn again in the near future, I will wait until then for fur ther comment on the town. From Dunn I rxle with my travel ling companion, Mr. J. C. Caddell, ome twelve miles across the Cape Fear river to Mt. Tabor church, where the Little River Baptist Association was in session. Although the meeting was held in Cumberland countv, most of the church es composing the Association are in Harnett, and so most of the represen tatives were from Harnett. I saw many of the school- and play-fellows of my bovhood davs, and also some who had been counselors to me in mv earlier years. This was a great pleasure to me, and when on my return, I crossed the old Cape Fear in a canoe I felt the thrill of my school boy joys and lived a little wr.ile in th oM !: - .iv;n. The Little River A i.it:on .va ,.nx. .-5ded over by rme of my old rlii.. fel lows, Mr. H. Y. Smith, and R.-v. J. A. CamplIl i- the e:h"nt .rk. Not withstanding it is com par;', thely a young lxly it d"0 a great dd f u,.rk for the various fields of labor that en gage the Bapti.-t denominati-'n. and it useful ne-- is f-it and acknowledged by the denomination in all its work. One of the mo-t plea-ant and well ordered homes I have ever i-ited i that of Rev. D. D. McBryde, "f the Pre-hvferian church, at Little Ri-r Academy. In company with my com panion. Mr. Caddell, I -pent a night in this home, and more social and Lo-pit-able eople I have never met. A large family of handsome sons and 1-eautiful and accomplished daughters, makes this a most interesting home, where all the pleasures of old time country re finement are enjoyed to the fullest ex tent ; and where the stranger, going out from such warm and bounteous hospi tality, sees more of the sunshine of life by reason of such kindly greeting and pleasant converse with those, whose de light it is to do good even to the pass ing guest or stranger. The educational interests of Harnett have much improved of Lite years ; and it seems largely due to the efforts of Rev. J. A. Campbell, principal of Buie's Creek Academy at Poe's and who is also county superintendent. His scnool is in a flourishing condition and bills fair to grow in number-: and usefulness. After spending a night at the pleas ant home of Mr. Hatcher with a num ber of my old friends and acquaint ances, and enjoying his open-handed hospitality, I return to Scotland Neck for a day's rest, having had no more pleasant trtp during the whole of the J time I have been out in the interest of Wake Forest. A peculiar and very unfortunate ac cident occurred in New York city a few days ago. A boiler burst in the mid dle part and sent one part of it through the thick walls of a house to the street, struck two laborers and knocked their mangled bodies against a tenement house on the other side of the street, and then shot like a cannon hall across the street, striking a saloon mid wreck ing the whole building. It also paid its rcsp?ct to a street car as it went along, tripping up the horses and over turning the car. Five or six men and eighteen horses were killed. Don't lay awake at night.
