C, a Second Class Matter. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14. '95. THE RECENT ELECTIONS. THANKSG1 VINO PROCLAMA TIOX. MR. CLEVELAND RICH. WA YSTDE JOTTINGS. The losses to the Democ-atic party in those States that have recently held elections ought to te an object lesson preparatory to good results next year. nAmnorata lost Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey and Maryland. Timv Democrat has all the while deplored factions within party lines There ought to be a way of settling party difficulties within our own ranks, tin. h Democratic party has fallen into a habit of cutting sticks with which the Republicans promptly crack our heads. That is what lost North Caro lina last year. With such strong and bitter prejudice within our own ranks 5 wad JtnTAai bio to win. The verv weakest efforts of our opponents count ed three-fold, because we wasted our strength in disagreeing amongst our selves. Now, if the Democratic party would be wise lor the struggle that awaits us next j-ear, we must lay aside prejudice, personal likes and dislikes, and pull together. Believing as we do that the true and tried principles of the Democratic party are for the best interests of the people, we hope to see unanimity amongst our people, and that right soon. The rock on which it now seems the party ma' be dashed to pieces is the financial question silver or gold. It seems that many Democrats have come to before that this Is the only issue worth considering. But this is a great mistake. The Democratic party em braces many things besides the question of gold or silver standard. Let us even up our differences, arrive at some safe conclusions and fair agreements and then do honest work for success again The President has eent out the fol lowing thanksgiving proclamation : 'The constant goodness and forbear ance of Almighty God which has been vouchsafed to the American people du ring the year which is just past, call for their sincere acknowledgment and devout gratitude. "To the end, therefore, that we may with thankful hearts unite in extolling the loving care of our Heavenly Fa ther, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the 28th day of the present month of November, as the day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and observed by all our people. "On that day let us forget our usual . . . occupations, and in our accusiomeu places ot worship join in rendering thanks to the giver of every good and proiHir gift for the bounteous returns that have rewarded our labors in the fields anO in the busy marts of trade, for the peace and order that haye pre vailed throughout our land, and for our protection from pestilence and dire ca lamity, and lor other blessings mai Ytavo tticioa upon uij toiii an open hand. And with our thanksgiving let us humbly beseech tho Lord to so incline the hearts of our people unto Him that He will not leave 113 nor forsake us as a nation, but will continue to use lis mercy and protecting care, guiding us in the path of national prosperity and happiness enduing us with recti tude and virtue, and keeping alive within us a patriotic love for the free institutions which have been given to us as our national heritage. And let us, also, on the day of our thanksgiving, especially remember the poor and needy, and by deeds of chari ty let us show the sincerity of our grat- tude. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done in the city of Washington, this the fourth day of November, in the jear of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, and in the one hundred and twentieth year of the independence of the United States. (Signed) "Grover Cleveland. "By the President : "Richard Olney, "Sec'y of State." DISCR1MINA TION IN FREIGHTS The discrimination by the railroad companies in freight rates is a great drawback to the business of certain places. wo xiie re cium good authority that the railroad companies will haul cotton from Washington, N. C, to Norlolk, for 25 cents a bale. From Pactolus, 12 miles nearer Norfolk, they charge 50 cents a bale. From Whichard's Sta tion, still 6 miles nearer Norfolk, they charge $1.00 a bale. From Parmele still 8 miles nearer Norfolk, they charge $1.35. That is to say, they charge $1.10 more a bale from Parmele to Nor folk than from Washington, which is 26 miles further. From Scotland Neck to Norfolk the freight is $1.25 a bale. This demon st rates the fact that we need competi tion. It is competition by water trans portation that makes the great differ ence from Washington. All Eastern Carolina east of the Wil mington and Weldon railroad needs competition in freight rates to deep water. The Democrat hopes yet to see this competition. With it our markets here at home would be much better. THE PENITENTIARY CASE. Judge Coble in Wake Superior Court last Friday announced his decision in the penitentiary contest. The men elected as directors of the penitentiary by the Fusion Legislature sued for possession. Judge Coble, one of the Fusion Judges, answered the first issue, "Were the plaintiffs or any them, if ? which, legally elected to the office of director in the State Pen itentiary." His answer was, "No." The grand jury for the Superior Court at Morganton reported present ments against 17 physicians and 6 law yersfor practicing their profession with out paying the special tax of $10 im posed by the last Legislature, and 12 boarding houses and 4 livery stables for the same thing. Our neighbor, the Greenville Refiec tor, is doing especially fine work for its town. It is giving a series ot articles on the Greenville tobacco market. The articles are well illustrated, and the work shows commendable enterprise in Editor Whichard. "Turn the rascals out" the familiar party cry may be applied to microbes as well as to men. The germs of disease inat lurk: m the blood are "turned out t3 Ayer s barsapanlla as effectually as the old postmasters are displaced by a new administration. CorreronleBC to The Dkmveat.) Washington-, D. C, Nov., Oth The result of last Tuesday' elections should teach the Democratic party the immediate and absolute neceity of harmony, organization and conserva tism. The Republican majorities in certain states were so Urge that several presidential possibilities were j-erhaps forever eliminated from the contests of the future. Anions these are Gorman, Hill, Carlisle. Bnce and Campbell. Mr. Cleveland's "third term" nonsense j ought also to be stopped by the out come. There never was anything in it. It roav flatter him to hear it and his sj-cophants may have their own axes to grind in telling him it is possi ble for him to become the candidate in 18, but this is all there is in !t. Mr. Cleveland can retire next March a year, conscious of the fact that ho is a very rieh man, perhaps more than a million aire, in a po.-ition to enjoy life thor oughly, able to bunt and fih all the time if he so de-ires, and with a much better knowledge of iolUios and politi cians than he had when he first became TM-acirlnnf- The JJeinocratlc partv will have to unite on a new man and platiorm or be wiped off the face of the earth. Wm. F. Ifarrity, chairman of the Democratic Committee, is here. He savs the National Committee will te called to meet in this city early in January to decide where the nomina ting convention shall be held. He says : "The elections of last Tuesday, while they showed great Republican victories, have not disheartened us, bv any means. We shall get together again by next November and we will make a good showing the next campaign. We will select a good candidate I don't know yet who he will be and we wil show the country that the Democratic party is still very much alive." Senator Marion Butler has rented a beautilul house here, 1711 Q St. N. W While I never had any patience with the Populists I have always thoroughly respected Marion Butler personally His wife is one of the finest women in the State. North Carolina will have reason to be proud of her, from a socia standpoint, before six years have expir ed or I am no prophet. Capt. W. T. Jenkins iys that m Butterwood township, in ihw county, there ha been no intox: :ing liquor sold in ten vears. Dr. R. A. Patterson ail in the coun ty temi?rauee meeting at Aurelian Springs Friday : "Whoever raises a family of sons and allows them to have strong drink in their youth, will pretty surely see some of them turn out badly in after vears." Rev. R. P. Troy makes a fine presid- ng officer for a temperance meeting. But it is not very hard to manage a meeting where all are in earnest in a good cause, as was the case at Aurelian Springs Friday. NEW INDUSTRIES. The Manufacturers' Record reports the following new industries for North Carolina : At Asheboro Kansas City parties will develop the Doub gold mine, putting in new machinery, etc. At Charlotte, E. V. A. Smith will soon reopen the Chinquepin Hill gold mine. The Seaboard Air Line will build railroad shops. G. F. Edmiston, Jno. W.. Hinsdale, A. P. Massev and O. II. Dorsett have incorporated the St. Catharine Gold Mining Co. with capital stock of $100,000 to develop an estab lished mine. At Fayetteyille L .W. Holt will erect a $200,000 cotton mill, and has already contracted for the brick. A bleachery may also be established. At Gastonia G. A. Gray will build a cotton mill, as reported last week, to contain 5,000 spindles and 250 looms At Raleigh a mill for weaving and spinning will be erected on water power just developed near the city ; Mr. Wiley Clifton constructed the dam. CAROLINA FISH AT ATLANTA News a7)d Observer Oth. Attached to the west-bound "South ern" train yesterday afternoon was a special United States Fish Commission car. lhe car is unique in its way. It is fitted up with large tanks and Knowles steam air pump is used to cir culate air through the water in the tanks. Some fifteen hundred large fish ot rare varieties were on the car. The salt water fish were caught at Morehead City, and the fresh water fish at New born . North Carolina has a larger variety of fish than any other State in the Union. Stmgarees, skates, swell toads and many other queer inhabitants of the briny deep were in the tanks. These are being carried to Atlanta, where they will supply yacancies in the exhibit of the Fish Commission. Already two car-loads of North Caro lina fish have been carried to Atlanta.

The in dications are that within the next month the Topulist party organization in this State will disband. The men who have been carrying on the agita tion for four years have about decided that there is no future for the party in this State and that they might as well abandon it. E. B. Cummings, the Sec retary of the Executive Committee, has tendered his resignation. The other officers and members of the State Ex ecutive Committee, will, it is said, fol low the example set by the secretary. The men who have been leading the party here say that they have informa tion that members of the Executive Committee of the National Committee have decided to resign. The Populist party in Indiana re ceived its first blow three weeks ago when the Farmers' Mutual Benefit As sociation of the State cut loose from it. There is some talk of organizing a labor party which shall take up and advocate Jropulistic principles. Following is the plan of suffrage for South Carolina as finally adopted by the constitutional convention : Sec. 4 The qualifications for suf frage shall be as follows : (a.) Residence in the State for two .rears, in the county one year, in the election district in which the elector offers to vote four months, and the pay ment, six months before any election, of any poll tax then due and payable. Frovided, however, that ministers in charge of an organized church and teachers of public schools shall be enti tled to vote after six months' residence in the State, if otherswise qualified. (b.) Registration, which shall pro vide for the enrolment of every elector once in ten years, and also an enrol ment during each and every year of every elector not previously registered under the provisions of this article. (c.) Up to January 1, 1898, all male persons of voting age appljing for reg istration who can read any section in this constitution or understand and ex plain it when read by the registra tion officer, shall be entitled to register and become electors. A separate record of all persons registered before January 1, 1898, sworn to by the registration officer, shall be filed, one copy with the clerk of the couit and one in the office of the Secretary of State, on or before February 1, 1898, and such persons shall remain during life qualified elec tors, unless disqualified by the other provisions ot this article. The certifi cate ot the court or Secretary of State shall be sufficient evidence to establish the right of said citizen to any future registration and the franchise under the limitations herein imposed. (d.) Any person who shall apply for registration after January 1, 1898, If otherwise qualified, shall be registered ; provided, that he can both read and write any section of this constitution, or can show that he owns and has paid all taxes collectible during the previous year on property in this State assessed at $300 or more. (e.) Managers of elections shall re quire of every elector offering to vote at any election, before allowing him to vote, proof of the payment of all taxes, including poll tax, assessed against him and collectible for the previous year, (f.) The General Assembly shall provide for issuing to each duly regis tered elector a certificate of registration, and shall provide for the renewal of such certificate when lost, mutilated, or destroyed, if the applicant la still a qualified elector under the provisions ot this constitution, or if he has been registered as provided in sub-section (c.) The body must be well nourished now, to prevent sickness. If your ap petite is poor take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Daxger from Catarrh. The most important feature about that very common complaint, catarrh in the head, is its tendency to develop into some other more serious and dan gerous disease. The foul matter drop ping from the head into the bronchial tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis or consumption, that de stroyer which causes more deaths in this country than any other disease. As catarrh originates in impurities in the blood, local applications can do but little good. The common sense method of treatment is to purify the blood, and for this purpose there is no preparation superior to Hood's Sarsaparilla. The powerful action of this medicine upon the blood expels every impurity, and by so doing cures catarrh and gives health to the entire organism. Agents for the DeLaval Separator and Majestic Ranges.
