Upon the hills above the heights Of life two archers stand ; One like an angel, seeming bright, The other dark and grand. First the bright angel bends his bow Though wounded, still the victim lives; Blinded, his wound he doth not know, But loves the pain it gives. Then the dark angel, soon or late, Doth with his strong arm bend his bow; Swift speeds his arrow, like to fate, And ends the mortal's woe. Thee are the archers high above The tides of motal life and breath The cruel angel archer, Love, The pitying angel, Death. Philadelphia Aezvs. A DISGUSTED REPUBLICAN. An Intelligent Tonne White Kepan II lean from Watauga Connty AU '.tended ttaelBepobllenn Stat ConventionWas DUcnsted And Writes n Card; Announcing-bis With drawal from the Republican Party, Boone, N. C, June 4, 1S8S. I went to Raleigh as a delegate from Watauga - county to th Republican State Convention which, met on the 23d day of May. When I left Watauga county I was convinced that the pres ent system of county government ought to be changed, and that the cry of "nigger" brought against the Repub lican party was originated by demago gues for political purposes. After at tending that convention I was com pletely changed in my opinion, for I saw. with my own eyes negroes jostling their way among white delegates,acting uproariously, and making themselves unduly prominent in the transaction of business. They took complete control of the convention at times, and fre anentlv it was-imoossible for a white man to get the floor, or to obtain resnectfnl hearing. Thero were two negro secretaries of the convention, and during a portion of its sitting it had a nesrro nresidins officer. Two of the f our delegates to Chicago were negroes. Altogether, there was toomueh negro in the convention to suit me, and, al though I have been a Republican, I am a white man and believe in white men ruling North Carolina. I fully appreciate.. for the first time, what the people of the East have to contend with in lightning against negro rule and negro insolence, and my ideas on county government have altogether changed. I am in favor of the piesa ent system ol county government. I take this opportunity also to state that I do hereby formally withdraw from the Republican party, which is responsible for any danger there may be of foisting negro rule upon North Carolina. Actirig-ns I do now on prin ciple, and leing moved by no desire for ersorel aggrandizement, I deem it proper to wa.ru the youngest men ot the country; nbo, like me," are actuated by principle, from being carried away by the speciou and deceptive sophis try of Republican orators. The welfare of North Carolina, moral, political and material, can only be subserved by the Democratic party, the party of the people. I only wish that every young Republican in the West had done as I did ETOne and seen the Republican Convention for themselves. They would have reached the same conclusion that I have. J. P. Robbins. Mr. J. P. Robbins. who wrote the above card, is a good school teacher, has a good public school education, and comes of a family that has in fluence in Watauga county. He is a man of intelligence.nd has the confi dence of the people. .He is 2S years oki and was raised a Republican. His attendance upon the Republican State I Convection was his first opportunity to I become acquainted with-the members of the Republican party throughout the state, awi he returned home dis gusted. (Liik? an honest aud self-re specting man, lie announces that ne ean no longer affiliate with a party "which is responsible," to quote his own words, "for any danger there may ba of foisting negro rule upon North Carolina." Mr. Robbins regrets that every Re publican in the West could not have seen the Republican Convention for themselves. . - A glance at the personnel of the con vention showed a large number of ne gro and mulatto delegates. The gal leries were filled with negroes and it looked like a dark cloud rising above the room. It was a motleyassemblage, It was in the proceedings that the ne groes were most objectionable. At times a negro presided over the con vention, and they did by far the most of the speaking A yellow negro, by name John Rey nolds, from Halifax . county, plaeed Oliver H. Dockery in nomination for Governor. He was nominated. A negro from Wayne placed J. C Pritchard in nomination for Lieu ten ant-Governor. He was Dominated. The convention nominated Charlie McKesson, of Burke, who left the Democratic. party a few years ago in the hope of securing loaves and fishes. It nominated for Superintendent of Schools, J. B. Mason, of Orange, vho is notoriously incompetent to fill the duties of the office. It nominated tor Secretary of State, Geo, W. Stanton, ot Wilson, who was a member of thei-Legislature of 18G8 '69 and who signed the infamous call to the. negroes advising them to use the torch upon the houses of the whites of the Rtate, It nominated for Treasurer, O. A. Bingham, of Watauga, who has yet to establish, himself as a financier. It nominated Tor Attorney General, Thomas P. Devereux, a lawyer with out clients. These are the nominations. They were made chiefly by negroes. The question is, Will the honest yoters ratify these negro nominations f or will they, like Mr. Robbins, repudiate the party which allows the negroes to eoiir troU This is the question which every voter must ask himself, and which he must answer, in the light of his high duties as a citizen. How will you answer the question in November The following is a brief aecount of the convention and its proceedings : It was composed of white meu and negroes from eighty-four counties in the state. It was called to order by Chas. A. Coot, n ' white man from Warren, who was the compromise man of the two warring factious of the party. The permanent chairman of the convention was Jas. A. Boyd well known as "Puking Jim" because, hav-M ing been a Ku-Klux, be turned traitor and cave evidence against his former associates. When it was time to elect permanent secretaries four men were placed in nomination two white men and two negroes. 'Both the negroes were elect ed. A number of names were placed in nomination as delegates to the Repub lican Convention at Chicago. Two ne groes and two white men were elected Campaign Document. m Weekly Weather Bulletin. Central Office. Agricct.ttraTj . Building, Raleigh, N. C, J uly 14. In the eastern and central districts there has apparently been an average amount of rainfall during .the week which has been especially favorable to cotton and erain. and somewhat un favorable to tobacco. In the western district there has apparently been a deficiency of rainfall, but crops have not been very unfavorably affected. A little more rain would undoubtedly im prove the condition of all crops in this district. In all districts there has been au a&- ces3 of temperature and sunshine which has been very favorablo to cot ton. The drj' weather has given far mers an opportunity to work their crops, which were suffering from weeds and grass. REMARKS OF SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS, Eastern District.

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. (From the Forest City Netes.) There has been plenty of rain in Polk county, and the farmers are enjoying a flattering prospect for a good crop this year. Little Roy, the five year old boy of Sheriff John Blanton, met with a pain ful accident last Saturday while play: ing with a shingle saw, by getting the middle finger of his right hand cut off at the first joint. (From the McDowell Bugle.) We are sorry to learn that Air. and Mrs. Wm. McD. Burgin-have been sorely afflicted again. Near Kuoxville last week their baby died, aged about 8 months. Died, in Marion on jhe 9th inst, Misa Annie Dellinger, niece of Mr. Wm. Dellinger. The funeital was preached by Rev. John Pulliam,' at the Baptist church Sunday and the remains were intered in the cemetary. (From the Lincoln Courier.) Home of the machinery for the Wil low Brook Cotton Mills has arrived. Mr. Daniel Yoder caught an owl several days ago in his chicken coop that measured 4Heet from tip to lip of wings. The conduct of the owl was a little peculiar. It entered the coop through an opening just large enough for a hen to pass through. ' (From the Gastonia Gazette.) Mr. Q. A. Spencer is away ahead this time. He has sweet potatoes measur ing 7$ inches in circumference, and he didn t prove it to us oy Dunging one of the blossoms ; he brqught the tubers themselves.' TJie Independents held a mass con vention at Dallas on Wednesday and nominated the following ticket : Rev. S. D. Brown tor the Legislature; . Col. F. Q. Ferguson, of Dallas, for. Sheriff f L. P. Stowe, of Dallas, for Treasurer; J. M. Lineberger, of Lowell, for Reg ister of Deeds; W. M. Robinson, of Gastonia, for Sutveyor, and J. W Aberhethy for Coroner. It is rumored that Mr.' Lineberger ia likely to not ac cept the nomination for Register of Deeds, and Mr. Robinson will not ac cept the nomination for Surveyor. POLITICAL POINTS. Col.

Let us see. Judge Russell will not run; Gen. Barringer is going to vote for Cleveland; Mr. Robbins, Col.

Nem and Qb- The "Old Whigs" of 1810, who vot ed for Tippecanoe, are now rallying around the standard, so we are told, by General Harrison. They needn't bother, about the "cider," however. The Republican platform' promiees them a harder drink this year free whiskey. Wibnlnjton Messenger. A Republican contemporary in quires: "When is the break in the solid South coming?" There is a touch of pathos in this query. We reply promptly, however, that it is coming this year. We are going to break the lecord and give the biggest Democratic majorities for twenty years. Wilming ton Messenger . That is precisely the danger ahead of us a rich class with surplus millions and a poor class with surplus poverty The protective system is the old hen that hatches out combines and trusts, which squeezes the life out of Jiealthx competition as the small boy squeezes the juice out of an orange into his own moutb. A Presbyterian preacher in Indiana polis says that, thonght he is a Repu blican, he cannot vote for Gen. Harri son because the platform on which that good Presbyterian deacon has been nominated is "simply infamous." This is hard on Deacon Harrison, but the reverend gentleman appears to have grasped the facts in the case. Chicago News, "Suppose," says the Baltimore Sun, (Democratic), "that 2,500,000 em ployees working in protected indus tries do get the whole benefit of the duty on their several products, which they do not, it is plain that the 14,900,? 000 in unprotected industries get noth ing out of the tariff but the enhance ment of the cost of everything they buy That is the argument m a nutshell." An important addition to the ranks of the revenue reformers is JudgeFrank T. Roid, a leading Republican and the Republican nominee for Governor of Tennessee four years ago, when the Republican ticket received the largest vote it ever received in Tennessee That is the state some Republicans are talking about carrying on the protec tive tariff platform. Washington Post This is the way the Chicago platform strikes N. (). Nelson, of St. Louis, a Republican protectionist, and one of the largest manufacturers and hand' lers 0! iron goods in the West : "It was made to win on and not to believe in. It is a campaign dodge. The protec tion olank. as there expressed, is merely an offset to the Democratic T - plank for reduced tariff, and I think 1 represent a large number of Republi cans iu objecting to it. The politicians gave the'whole thing away when they declared for the obliteration of internal taxation to offset their high protection. They were pretty hard put." The-Asheville Citizen gives the fol lowing "straw": Mr. Milton Black, of Mt. Vernon, Ind, is here, stopping at the Grand Central, with his family. Mr. Black, who is a Republican, says that the Hoosier State will certainly go for Harrison; but Mr. Thomas, who is also an Indianian, and from the same place as Mr. Black, is a red hot Jeffersonian Democrat, says he will bot his neighbor ten to one that the Hoosier' s vote will be recorded in the Democratic column in November next. Mr. black declined to take up the bet, and Mr. Thomas states that he will back Cleveland for any amount against Cninese Ben. The National Democratic Campaign Committee met at its new headquarters No. 10 West 29th street, -New York Tuesday and organized. Chairman Barnum presided at the meeting. Cal vin S.

The two counfcr fairs of Cabarrus, the oplar Tent and the St. John's, have been consolidated, and the fair will this year be heid at Concord.. The grounds, located about one mile east of the town, are now being enclosed. The signafcorps observer at Hat- teras, N. C, reports that the German brig Anncaan, laden, with turpentine, and bound from Savannah, Ga., to Glasgow, Scotland, grounded, off Hat- teras shoals Tuesday evening, The vessel will probsbly be a total, loss. The crew have been saved. The twelve year old daughter of Mr. Benjamin Parker, a reputable farmer living three miles from' Asheville, was brutally assaulted Saturday by a negro man. The little girl is in a critical condition. The negro was caught and lynched on Sunday morning. Two freight trains collided on the Western North Carolina Railroad, about a fourth of a mile from the depot at Asheville on Sundav moraine. wrecking both engines and smashing up a number of cars. A negro brake man was killed and five persons wounded, though not seriously. Owen McLean, colored, was working at the lath saw in the mill of Messrs. Wilkinson & Fore, at Alma, one day last week, when a sliver about six in ches long was thrown with great foree by the saw, striking Owen in the eye. It penetrated the biain. He drew it out himself, but immediately fell and expired. Mr. Peter M. Wilson tells us that it has been agreed by all railroads in North Carolina to sell round trip tick ets to Raleigh during the next State fair at the same rates as last year, with the exception that that a minnmum rate with be charged for distances of six miles and under, the rate being 20 cents instead of 15. This will be an average rate of about one cent for every mile traveled.

Potts, who was to have been hanged at Washington, N.: C, for the murder of Paul Lincke, committed more than a year ago, and who made an attempt an his life with poison some days ago and was reprieved, made a second attempt at suicide Monday night and was successful. 'Eluding his guard, he took a big dose of chloral and morphine about 8 o'clock and died about 12, notwithstanding the offorts of the doctors to save his life. Much feeling exists in Washington over the result, and there are intimations of foul play. - ... Presiding Elder's Appointments. Rev. John R. Brooks, D.

At the reunion of Confederate sol diers in Lexington county, two brothers named Reedy forced a quarrel upon Manuel Williams.a peaceably disposed man, who in self-defense shot and in stantly killed one of the toothers with a pistol, and stabbed the other through the heart with a pocket knife. A rather novel request has been put in by T. P. Alexander, the white man who was convicted of killing his wife attho last term of court in Pickens, and sentenced to be hanged on the 14th of September. His Attorneys wished to take an appeal, but Alexander beg ged thnm not do do it, baying that he wanted "to have the thing done and be over with it," It is needless to say his request was disregarded and the attor neys for the defence will appeal to the Supreme Court.

GreenvUle News Monday night between eight and nine o'clock Harry Thomson, Archie Wads- worth and Calvin Oeland, colored pri soners in jail, attempted to overpower the jailer, J. W. Harris, when he went up stairs to lock them in for the night. Thomson made an attack with a broom stick and Wadswortht supported him witlan empty bottle. Oeland's busi ness was to take the keys when the other two got Harris down. A prison er by the name Fincher came to the assistance of the jailer. Although Wadsworth was holding the arms of Harris he managed to draw his pistol, 32 calibre, and with difficulty got it in position to fire. He pulled trigger and bored a hole in Wadswortb's breast just above his heart. He fired a se cond shot but missed his aim. Several young men were in the square and ran to his assistance, but it was evident that Harris had subdued the crowd and was able to turn them all in and lock them up for the night. Dr. Hei nitsh was ealled in at once to attend to the wounded prisoner."- Tuesday morning he seemed quite cheerful and in no danger. It may prove a fatal wound. Carolina Sparean.
