The Democracy wants the man moninated who will maintaio the dignity of bis office, discharge its duties faithfully and fearless ly, sud who will, so far as his duties go, protect and promote the substantial interests of all the people. And they know, all know, that man's name is Grover Cleveland. Nr. Cleveland Declines to be a Candidate. ttrdin Princeton under date of November 25th, ex-President Cleveland wrote to Dr St. Clair McKelway. editor of the Brooklyn Bagle, a letter from which this extract*ii made: "In tbe midst of it nil, and lu fall view of every consideration presented, I have not for a moment beenable, nor am I now able, to open my mind to the thought thet in any circumstances or upon any consideration, I should ever again become the nominee of my party for the Presidency. My determination not to do so is unalterable and conclusive." , i • Bow the World Pay* a Mao. PrM* ud Mow. The man who goes into the open market with nothing particu lar to sell and with a poor quality of brain* to sell that little, wont get much for it.

The man who Routes out of the classic halls of learning with only the vrdinary stock of education can get very little to do except to teach the same worthless atnff to those who come after him and even (Ms ability fa not held very high.

Salisbury, Nov. 24.—Judge Allen, o( the Superior Court, this afternoon denied the motion of the defence for the removal of the White mnrder case to an adjoining county. He. how ever, stated that be would re serve the right to reconsider his decision if snch action ap peared justifiable. The defence this morning Sled 36 affidavits alleging that Thomas J. and Chalmers white, who killed Russell Sherrill at liis home at Mt. Ulla last Sep tember, upon his refusal to marry their niece, could not get • fair trial in this county. Tue State filled 30 counter affidavits,, including one from the mother of the dead man. The motion for removal waa urged by Judge W. J. Montgomery, of Concord, and Senator Lee S. Overman, while Capt. R. S. Glens, of Winston, opposed removal. Judge Allen stated that he would reserve his decisiou until afier the noon recess. Upon the re convening of court at 2:30 this afternoon the jndge stated that he had decided to deny the motion for a removal, but that if upon the selection of the jury h appeared that any considerable number of the special venire had formed and expressed an opinion that the prisoners were guilty as charged that he would not be precluded from reconsidering his decision. Counsel for the defence then gave notice of a motion for a continuance of the case, and Judge Allen set to-morrow morning as the time when he would bear argument upon the matter. HIM Him la StUMwt. FiiitiMkcrt tnmklw Once upon a time two cronies were sitting op with their dead pal and one of them concluded be mast get a drink before tbe saloons closed. Tbe other one said be must go too. bat, with a shade of decency the first one said it would not do to leave the corpse. So it was agreed, final ly, to take the corpse^—and they put a bat on it—got it between them and walked to the saloon. Standing the corpse up against the bar they ordered drinks for three. The two drank their whiskey and walked out leaving the .corpse slill and motionless. The barkeeper demanded the price of the drink—once—twice— and as there was no response he struck the erase»between the eyes and senflt sprawling to tbe floor. The two cronies rushed in, felt the pulse of their dead friend and exclaimed: "My God, man, you have killed him I" The barkeeper replied: "Gen tlemen,'I cannot help it—the d—d scoundrel drew a knife on tne and I killed him in self de fense.” And that’s tbe kind of self-defense we have been hear ing about for tbe past few months. Barth CarsHaa and tbs Frttl The Washington Post s' few days ago interviewed a number of Congressmen upon the sub ject hr tbe Democratic presi dential nomination. ;The replies of two of tbe North Carolina delegates are given below. Mr. Page, of North Carolina: "The Democrats of North Caro lina are for any man the Demo crats of New York State are satisfied to nominate. I think Senrtor Gorman is tbe favorite In our State, although Judge Parker would be highly accept able. North Carolina Demo crats. however, in not disposed to allow personal preference to stand in the way of party inn cess, and if it should be tbe Judgment of New York De mocrats. which State we most retake if we are to elect a Presi dent, that some otker man would bn a stronger candidate, w# will gladly (all io line for that mao, whoever he maybe." Mr. Webb, of North Carolina: "Tbe democracy of North Caro* •in* will abide by the lodgment of the majority. Any man ac ceptable to tbe Bast will be ac ceptable to North Carolina. Our only pnapaot of aaccemia pyre establishing tbe alliance between Best sod South. Tbe Demo cratic ptfrty bss nothing to hops for from the West. Ifemocrata down oar way would gladly vote for s man eren personally dis tasteful for the sake of defeating tbe present incumbent of tbe White House. I think they per* sonally prefer Senator Oorman because of his great fight for the South whan tbe force bUI was before Congress.” Whal the Tmrmmt VlUMMil (ha Cottaa Crap. Kiltlrt Tla*«. The cotton fanocT haa atrack it rich this year. Aa a rule, cot ton haa gone op after the fanner has sold aia crop, but this year he has sold very little cotton under 10 cents per pound. Think oi what this brings to the South I Supposing the crop will be ten million bales—and it will not miss that much either way—and the cotton alone will bring $500, 000,000. The seed out of this cotton will sell for $80,000,000. This immense snm of money distributed as it has been is obliged to put the Southern farmers in comparatively good condition. Yes, but some one says, what did the farmer him self get oat of it? Did he get the profits or did the merchant and the speculator reap the harvest after the farmer had done the work? In the first place, it will coat at the least calculation $250, 000,000 to cultivate the cotton crop of thg Sooth; that is, to get it to die point of picking it oat of the fields. Then it will coat at least $50,000,000 to pick the crop, making the round sum of $300,000,000 which will go direct into the pockets of labor. Tbia is one great advantage the cot ton farmer has. There is no other crop, so far as we know, where such a large per ceot of the cost of production goes into the hands of the laborer. , ^ does not require ■killed labor to make cotton. It ta tree Intelligent labor gets its reward here, aa it does in every vocation, but the most ignorant man in the comrannity can make and gather a cotton crop, and get just as much for it oo the market aa anyone else. Prom this calculation it may be seen that cotton, at a fair price, is a most valuable crop to prodace. It is specially a good crop for the farmer who makes bis comport and does not rely upon commercial fertilisers, which are always high, and used as they often arc. are of little value either to the land or to the growing crop. However, this article nad oo object be yond suggesting that the man wb'o planted and cultivated and picked his cotton, had a good share in the profits. A Wilkes Coaaty Hermit. Alxlin Car. Wtlkcaboro Hauler. Meridv Richardson, a hermit, who moved to this section last spring from Horse Creek, Ashe copnty, is digging a cave or hole in the groom! in Carter moan-, tain, where he says be is going to stay this srinter. He ia very feeble minded snd wild natared, does not want any one to viait bim. He keeps t "gun and shoots at all prowlers or ’possum bant ers who go near his hot. lie owns five acres of land and baa placed |5 in one of bit friends’ hands for the purpose of keeping Sheriff Johnson from selling hts land for taxes. His taxes seam to be a great burden to bim. He says " he ia afraid Sheriff John son will come around and sell ha land when he is not at home.” How he lives or what he lives on this writer ia not able to aay. Famy Things In the Talk About OM Nan Clara land. There are some amusing things about the talk of the nomination of Cleveland for another tana. About every day wa sea where soma dear brother ia tearing •' fab shirt and declaring that no one except thorn who bolted Bryan in 1R6 and 1900, wants him nominated, wbila the very next thing we run across b where some hoary bemad old Pop. is witling and somewhat aturions to tek* tbc Old Man. The ea ch lef Justice of Kansas, a Bryan of the Brynnitea, saya be b not ■tuck on him, but that the country will be safe In bb heads and aa between Roosevelt and the Prinoeton man he b for Grover, yet be baa not given np hope that the • Populists win some day come into their own. These things are significant and it shows that when a man gets right down fact to faca with tb« proposition and bavaa kb fool prejudices behind, ha acknowl edges that Cleveland b not only a safe man. but a maa who can be alected. The gentleman from Kansas b not the only Pop ulist who b willing to take Gro ver: others have arid* ea much and while the fact may militate against tbs Old Man. still it shows there b a strong current of arind blowing the sage of Princeton toward the Democratic goal. Ia the meantime, be just keeps on shooting rabbits sad birds and docks sad after awhile be will bring down the biggest game of Millie. - ii Mill-ltd UJ—H tijfltl AmIm I0 Hijiiid, np the jewelry business ia this city to go to Waynesville and manast a larga farm that ia pret ty well covered with all kinds of •pple trees. ”1 paid leas than >10.000 for the farm." said Mr. Fanior. •'and I have already re fused $20,000 for U. This year was an off year end 1 raised only half a crop of apples, bat that meant 10,000 bushels, which 1 sold for 60 cents a bushel. Next year 1 expect to raise over .20,000 bushels.” M^tTrLy Us Bahts. Aaferilte Special. *•*. XBh. Judge B. B. Jones, of ths Su perior Coart, has decided that Madison county must issue $70, 000 worth of bonds with which to pay its indebtedness. The county will appeal from the de cision of Judge Jones ead the cast wiU be heard in the So prani* Court of North Carolina end unless the decision of the lower court is reversed the opin ion of the Supreme Court will mark the close of a legal war that has been for years waged between the creditors of the county end the commissioners of Madison. Fertfet What ha Waits* la Aafc. KamtamL Sometimes the lawyem are ac cused of talking ju*t for the saka of the talk, ^bot this chase* doesn’t lie agaiast them. They always have some cod in vicar, but it has tamed oat that at least one lawyer forgot what Us end was. la Chief Justice Plow’s court the other day, the lawyers wrangled for hours on the admiation of testimony. After one of them had contend ed for a long time to the judge that h* ought, to ha allowed to ask a certain guts tioa, and the opposing lawyer had objected strenuously all the time, the coart said, •Well, go ahead and ask your question.” The lawyer looked confused at this, hurriedly turned appealing ly to his associate, and then said, "Your honor, I've forgot ten wbat I wanted to ask him.” __ Charlotte has Only Ballaws Fae lary ta Ac Snath. ChariMM CfcrmM*.' A manufacturing enterprise in Charlotte of which' but little is known by the public is Mr. Gedge Newcomb’s bellows fac tory, on Ploe street, between Ninth and Tenth.

The business was established by the present owner's lather prior to the civil war tad has been conducted continuously ever since.
