"The old order changeth, giveth
way to the new." But there is at
least some consolation to the deposed
juuCB uui. ouerea in tne Observers
article. They are not alone in their
retirement from offices they evi
dently thought they had a life tenure
upon. There is a similar epidemic
among the Congressmen from this
State. Bunn and - Alexander have
retired from the race just in time to
get out of the storm. Williams does
not belong to the class which ever
resigns, but he has never been
thought of for renomination. Grady
stood for . nomination again and was
ignominiously defeated. This is an
off year for Congressmen,' as well as
Judges. - All the old timers are being
assisted to the rear. There will be a
lot of new Democratic blood in this
campaign and let us all fervently
pray that it will prove good blood, as
The Review believes it will be.
OUR "GEJilAL RECBKN."
As a strong and consistent friend
of Reuben D. Reid, Esq., of this
county, The Review could not regard
his aspirations for Solicitorship at
this time and under existing circum
stances otherwise than as unfortunate
and ill-advised. Yet when it learned
that he was actively in the field for
the nomination this paper was very
far from saying aught against the
wisdom of his move, it being a sincere
well wisher of Mr. Reid. Mr. Reid
has no reason to feel disappointed at
the result. The odds, as was to have
been expected, were overwhelmingly
in favor of Solicitor Barber, the
present incumbent. Solicitor Barber
is serving out the unexpired term of
Mr. Settle. He held his office by ap
pointment, and as there seems to
have been no complaint against him
as a prosecuting officer, he very
naturally asked for a nomination and
election as an endorsement of the
administration of his office. The
delegates took this view of the case,
and the fact of Mr. Barber's having
once before made a losing fiht for the
Solicitorship did not deter them from
nominating him by acclamation. The
candidacy of Mr. Mebane for judge,
which happily resulted in hi3 nomi
nation, conflicted with Mr. Reid's
hopes, and, strong friends' as they
are, there should have been some
kind of understanding betwee" them.
As matters stand, Mr. Reid has no
occasion for disapDointment, and
even if he had he is not the kind of
man to nurse disappointments and
sulk in his tent. There is not a Dem
ocrat in the State with a more spot
less record, nor one who has given a
more whole hearted support to the
Democratic t i c k e t when the
strongest ties of kindred and personal
considerations in several campaigns
forbade hostility to the Republican
candidate. As on eyery other occa
sion he wfil this year give his time
and his means and all that man can
give to advance the cause of Democ
racy. He is yet a young man, and,
now that the public eye is upon him,
he will be remembered by the party
in some substantial and fitting man
ner in the near future.
HON. W. N. MEBANE.
Rockingham generally and The
Retiew in particular rejoices that
our honored countyman, Hon. W. N,
Mebane, has been selected as the
Democratic standard bearer in the
judicial race of this District.
In honoring Mr. Mebane the con
vention honored itself. For years he
has been in the front of his profes"
sionin this State as an able jurist.
Not only is he deeply learned in the
law, but it looks to us as "if nature
must have intended him for a judge
from his birth. He has essentially
that indispensable quality which
certain judges who have recently
gone to the rear were sadly lacking
in a judicial temperament. His life
is one against which no breath of
reproach can prevail. While always
an active party worker he has been
incorruptible from the taint of party
intrigues. His election is assured
and he will bring to the discharge of
his judicial duties a spotless . record,
an untarnished reputation, a wealth
of legal attainments and the large
mental equipoise of a judicial organ
ization.
The Review pledges him its most
loyal support with peculiar unfeigned
pleasure. We already lift our hat to
the future Judge Mebane, worthy
representative of an illustrious name,
and predict that he will wear the
ermine of his office worthily and
welL
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDNCE.
Columbia, Miss., Aug 6 '94
Here I am, poised for a day or two
in my migratory flight, in one of the
most isolated towns in the country.
It is a raw and rainy day without.
We have been having daily showers
since dog days began. The town is
about the size of Went worth. The
hotel I am stopping at is a grand.
roomy old fashioned affair and I,
almost feel at home. Here in this
sleepy little village I have been
feasting on fresh eggs and
country chickens, ham, vegetables,
preserves, milk, butter and big bis
cuits, all daintily prepared for the
table by the hands or the "gude wife"
herself. The host,, a big, brawny
Mississippian, is a veteran , hotel
keeper and a pioneer of the town. He
has big crops this year of cotton and
corn and he never tires of talking
about his prospects. Today, as I am
told, a '"big meeting" begins at Ebe
neezer church, about 15 miles west of
here, and the village lassies, with
blooming cheeks, their dresses re
splendent with red end blue ribbons,
are all agog getting ready. Mean
while the country gallants are wait
ing to act as beaux. It does my
heart good to see "sich fixin's." I
feel young again. Emerson was
right when he said, "All the world
loves a lover."
These rural scenes and bucolic
sounds are so restful to one. From
the broad, weather beaten veranda
of this old timey hostelry I can hear
the familiar pipe of Bob White
(alwaj s to be heard about wheat
harvesting time) like Tennyson's
"clear-voiced mavis calling." The
call of no other bird thrills me
through and through like the shrill,
almost falsetto, tones of this feath
ered oracle of the hills who tell us
when wheat is ripe. How they
vibrate through my memory 1 I
recall with positive rapture this old
acquaintance to whom 1 listened with
awe as I gazed at the harvest moon.
And 1 share Father Bouldin' uncanny
fancy as I hear with real pleasure the
unmusical croakings of my amphi
bian friend, the frog.
This is the country where the
White Cap organization originated
and flourished for five or six years.
Happily now, this lawless order is
nearly extinct. The leaders have
been run to earth and no fears are
entertained of futuie depredations.
Just a mile away from here several
niont' s ago they killed a negro in
bed In entering the house of their
victim they first throw a lrge ball of
fire into the middle of the room
which lights up everything and some
times I burns up the house. Right
opposite the hotel in the courthouse
yard stands a gallows from which a
White Cap leader recently had a hair
breadth escape. He had been - sen
tenced to be hanged for murder. The
day arrived and a tremendous crowd
from the .surrounding country to
witness the execution which was to
be public. The black' cap and th-i
fope were adjusted, the usual cere
monies gone through with and the
trap was sprung. . Many of the spec
tators shrank from - the sickening
scene, but a moment later a cry of
surprise, and not horror," went up to
know that the noose had slipped and
the man had fallen harmlessly to the
ground, l'reparations were made to
try the job over, when two ministers
of the town arose and addressed, the
crowd, protesting against the-execution
proceeding. As the evidence
against the man was of a circum
stantial nature, and not positive.
considerable doubt existed as to his
guilt. This feeling, added to the
superstitious fear which had taken
hold of many, caused ; the crowd to
lend willing ears to the intercessors.
The sheriff was sick of the hangman's
role and when the question was put
to a vote of the crowd to sustain the
sheriff in not carrying out the proj
gram there was not a dissenting vote.
The man is still alive, but in custody;
It is said that he never flinched
during the ordeal, making one of the
narrowest escapes from death ever
recorded.
I saw for the first time in my life
two weeks ago a Legislature in ses
sion, that of the State . of .Louisiana,
at Baton Rouge. I witnessed the
adjournment of that body. It was
one of those fete occasions for which
Louisiana is noted. The session went
out in a blaze of slory . The capitol
building, which occupies a command
ing position, was brilliantly illumi
nated. A local brass band pealed
forth blare after blare of martial and
patriotic music, popular airs, etc
The beauty, and chivalry of Baton
Rouge were gathered there, a great
many of the leaders occupying the
seats of the State Solons. The law
makers were about an average look
ing lot. The Speaker of the House
was the most distinguished looking
member. tie looked tor all the
world like Col. David Settle, and I
recalled the last convention I attend
ed at Wentworth, when the Colonel
so gracefully, ; eloquently, impar
tially and altogether ably presided
over the deliberations of that turbu
lent crowd. But I am getting on
conventions, so I will switch off.
.
Between New Orleans (with which
I was much disappointed) and Baton
Rouge lies one of the goodliest coun
tries on this planet of ours. Going
through by rail the . waving nelds of
corn and sugar cane glinting in the
summer sun I felt for the first time
that I was in Dixie land "Way
down Souf whar de sugar cane
grows." It is a garden spot, indeed;
the lands are well cultivated, and the
broad, beautiful, baronial acres of
fine old estates stretching away on
either hand. I saw the overseers ou
their horses and great crowds of
singing negroes, the happiest peas
antry in the world, at work in the
furrows. It wa sa rare scene for one
reared amid the red hills of Rocking
ham. Sugar is the great staple here.
and it is hoped that Congress will
not strike down the industiy. En
tering thel depot at New Orleans the
first thing which greets you is the
saccharine sweetness from the thous
ands of sugar barrells rolled under
the huge shed for shipment. At
Baton Rouge I saw the great "Father
of Waters' the Mississippi and
here I must pause until my next.

ouo cMguuv tia luiiowB wnai is tne
j . , ,
uunsu ucuon piacea Dy us upon the

Democracy to take immediate steps

conslitutional and prohibitive tax of
10 per cent, upon the issue of State
banks.
Sixth. That we admire the cour
are and lofty patriotism of the Presi
dent, and most heartily commend his
prompt and effective action under
the law for the suppression of the
efforts of alien anarchists to disturb
by fonje and violence the true
relations of labor and capitol ; his
sturdy effort to secure the enact
ment of the tariff reform as called for
in the party platform: his DromDt
approval of the bill repealing the
leaerai election laws ; the notable
reduction of the expenses of the gov
ernment under his administration
and the freedom from scandal which
has been such a marked feature of
his return to the head of affairs.
ALSO THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS.
"Resolved, That we favor the aboli
tion, as soon as practicable, of the
internal revenue on spirits and to
bacco, and if this, cannot be doi.e that
the harsh and unjust features of the
law for its collection be modified.
"We point with pride to the record
of the Democratic party in North
Carolina, and endorse the present
administration.
"For eighteen years this party has
uaa ran control ot the state govern
ment. It has administered it with
the greatest economy, and all times
with an eye single to the best inter
ests of all people.
"Coming into favor at the end of
the debauchery and crime, it address
ed itself to the work of rehabilitation,
and its records is one which chal
lenges public admiration. It has
rebuilt our public school system,
establish asylums for the care of our
unfortunates, administered justice,
promoted our public works, fostered
every public enterprise, reduced tax
ation, and in all respects justified the
confidence of those who have trusted
it. It has afforded security to life
and property, protected both capital
and labor in its rights and done all
that government can do for the
people. No scandal has attached to
its administration of public affairs.
We congratulate our citizens upon
their well reposed trust in it We
congratulate them upon the friendly
relations existiug between the two
races, upon prospects of bounteous
crops. With this record before them
we appeal to them for a vote of con
fidence this year in the Democratic
party.
"Whereas, since the Democratic
party of North Carolina last assem
bled in convention, death has claimed
Hon. Zebulon B. Vance, the State's
most illustrious citizen, it is by this
convention
'Resolved, That, appreciating his
conspicuous abilities and his long and
most honorable public services, pro
found sorrow is expressed on account
of the calamity which has fallen updti
the State in the event referred to. We
admire the noble life, public and
private, of this eminent citizen and
refer to it as the noblest example of
North Carolina manhood."
The platform was adopted almost
unanimously. James H. Pou was
elected chairman of the State Execu
