AMNOCNCKHEMr.
The bulk of bur printing plant has
been moved to Danville, where we
will begin in a few days the publica
tion of The Daily Review, a 28
column afternoon journal.
This arrungement will in no way
effect the publication or identity of
The Weekly Review. No change
of base or management will take
place with reference to this paper.
It will be issued as usual from this
ofllce. But while it will remain es
sentially and distinctively a Reids
ville paper a combination of interests
has been effected which will make it
bigger and brighter and betcer than
ever before. Beginning with the
next issue, which is the anniversary
of its eighth year, the substantial
increase in its reading matter and
the marked improvement in its ap
pearance will manifest themselves
Itis our determination to make it
far and away the best weekly paper,
not only in this section, but the
State.
Not the least reason which has
moved us tQ. take advantage of the
naw order of things has been the
purpose of. publishing a Greater Re
view for our readers and of making
it more influential and useful than
ever before in advancing the inter
ests of Reidsville and the surround
ing rouuty, to which it has ever re
mained loyal.

; The editor of The Review has
taken no part in the . recent general
discussion of Mr. Meador. For him
personally we have always had kind
feelings. Still there is no use dis
guising the fact that his connection
with the case mentioned above has
been very unfortunate for him and
his appointment to the deputy ool
lectorship at this juncture peculiarly
inopportune for the party. Mr.
Meador's record as a Democrat is
said to be fair, and as a brandy
gauger he was in a line of promotion
to the place he seemed. Before V Mr.
Woods appointment he was strong
ly supported for, the deputy collec
torship, but failed of appointment.
All this may be said in his favor.
But in view of the activity he dis
played in behalf the convicted negro
Scales (whatever may be said in sup
port of his connection with or in ex
tenuation of his conduct in the caw)
the fed ing against him, still fresh
and strong in the public mind.
makes his appointment unpopular
and unfortunate. It is apprehended
that his retention in the office will
work injury to the county Democ
racy in the coming campaign par
ticularly in some sections of the
county. A great many good Dem
ocrats are reported as believing that
under the circumstances ' Mr.
Meador's appointment should bo re
pudiated by the party unless it
wishes to invite repudiation itself
If this be the case, and we doubt not
it is, Mr. Meador might relieve the
tension and raise himself in public
estimation by sending in his resigna
tion. In the light of the unfortunate
comment about him at this time that
would be the next best thing to his
having declined the appointment in
the first place.

The official relationship sustained
by the negro Corbett to the Honora
ble Thomas Settle remains a to ic of
absorbing interest to our people
There are quite a variety of conflict
ing opinions given out as to the ca
pacity in which he is retained in the
service of the Honorable Thomas
Settle and the general mystery which
characterizes the Settle-Corbett situ
ation heightens the sensation and
multiplies discussion.
We give information that has come
to The Review in one way a-id
anoiher as to the nature of the po-ti
tion neia Dy uoroetu uoroett is re
ported to have said positively that he
is the Honorable Thomas Settle's pri
vate secretary, and he ought to know
Corbett's relationship to the Hon-
on Die i nomas settle is ot sucn an
important nature that he said the
other day that he would be jnable to
support the.cause of free silver on
account of a previous engagement
with the Honorable Thomas Settle,
his chief having publicly placed him
self on record recently against that
question.
The Honorable Thomas Settle
reported to have given out three de
nials of Corbett's statement one at
Raleigh, another at Greensboro and
another at Washington. But inas
much as the denials have a contra
'dictory appearance and that Corbett
seems to stick to his original state
nient, it is a question if Corbett
not as worthy of belief as the Honor
able Thomas Settle. And even if we
make up our minds to believe the
Honorable Thomas Settle any way
it remains a question as to whether
we should believe bim at Raleigh,
Washington or Greensboro, since it
is manifestly impossible to give cre
dence to three such widely differing
and materially incompatible state
ments. In Col. Fred Olds' corre
spondence from Raleigh the Honora
ble Thomas Settle is said to Lave said
in Raleigh that Corbett is a backer of
documents for him. In Washington
he said to a Post reporter that Cor
bett is a messenger of his committee.
In Oeerjsboro to the interviewer of
the Record he is. report d to have
made the statement that Corbett was
nothing but a janitor The enter
prising Whashington correspondent,
Mr. W. E Christian, says Jake Set
tle and a negro Harry kinner had
nppoioted in Washington told Jim
Young that C!ortett is the private,
secretary of the Honorable Thomas
SeU R H W Leak, editor of the
Raleigh Outlook, a prominent negro
Republican journal, says the Honor
able Thomas Settle has appointed
Corbett to h clerkship under him as
a copyist. In the une issue of the
outlook, however, its Washington
correspondent says Corbett is the
mailing clerk of the Honorablo Thom
as Settle. The above bits of infor
mation are given un by a gentleman
who has foil wed the matter closely.
alT or which moves us to mildly ob
serve that Corbett is a valuable far.
totum or else there is a lie out some
where.
Honorable Thomas Settle, these be
ing the only positions of a politica
nature he has ever held, both of !
which were , accepted by him some
what hesitatingly, not to say reluc
tantly.on account of private business
This hj the type of honest able, un
selfish disinterested Republicans
whom a life long office hunter and
office-holde iscrediU.
It looks to The Ueview like Mr.
Joyce has been Badly treated. Being
a Republican with a stainless record,
Chairman of the Republican Execu
tive Committee of this county, and
having been honored as one of our j
"city fathers," the Honorable Thom
as settle may nua in casting mm
off has alienated many strong influ
ences from his-support in a measure,
if he has not invited their open,
avowed and intense hostility.

e nave oeen snown a copy ot a
p tition to Collector Smimons pre
. pared for circulation among the
members of the County Democratic
Executive Committee asking the re
moval of Mr. John D Meador as dep
,uty collector for the 4th District, to
which position he was recently ap
pointed as successor to Mr S. G
Woods, we are reliably informed
mat mo petition has already re
ceived a number of signatures from
the member of the committee in the
upper part of the county. The
reason iven in the petiti n for mak
ing this rr quest is as follows: "We
take this action because of Mr
Meador's conduct during the trial of
Robert Scales, (who was sent to the
SETTLE AND JOYCE.
Another phase of the question of
the Honorable Thomas Settle's pri
vate secretaryship has been develop
ed It is a well known fact that Mr.
J. R. Joce, of this place, .was the
private secretary of tho Honorable
Thomas Setttle during the last short
session of Tongress. Mr. Joyce's ap
pointment to this position was re
garded as a well merited and most
fitting one by his many friends in
this section without reference to their
political propensities. In choosing
Mr. Joyce for this responsible posi -
tion the Honorable Thomas Settle in
a measure redeemed himself from the
odium v hich attacned to him for
going outside of his District to give
a Yankee this place before. Mr.
Joyce, having given up a promising
mercantile business to accept the
place, had come to look upon his re
tention in ttis capacity as Settled
out it loots right now as it he was
very much un Settled. It is, in fact.
a matter of almost common report
that Mr. Joyce has been marked for
blacklisting, and by no less a person
age than the Honorable Thomas Set
tle himself. And it is no joke to say
that the appointment of a black man
to succeed Mr. Joyce in a clerical ca
pacity in the service of the Honora
ble Thomas Settle gives additional
color to the talk about Mr. Joyce be
ing blacklisted
The regret that follows Congress
man Settle's action in dropping and
discrediting Mr. Joyce and taking a
negro as a substitute for and a suc
cessor to him is not a question of par
ty distinction. It is a feeling of gen
eral regret which is becoming intensi
fied into one of indignation. The en
tire incident is of such a character as
to offend the sense of decency of our
people.
Mr. Joyce is one of the best types
of the Republican party in this State.
He comes from a family the mem
bers of which have not been found
in the ranks of the office seekers. He
comes from a county where the pur
est Republican sentiment in North
Carolina prevails. By heredity and
environment Mr Joyce has drank at
the purest f untain of party inspira
tion. Republicanism means to him,
as it has meant to a long and illus
trious line of family connections, a
patriotic impulse a principle stand
ing for something more than pelf and
patronage. Mr. Joyce is a gentleman
of the highest party ideals, and his
career shines whe'i contrasted with
that of the man whom itls now said
has repudiated him.
Nearly ever since the Honorable
Thomas Settle has been old enough
i 111 MM rr a
ne nas neja omce. wnen only a
youth he had a position in the post
office at Jacksonville, Florida. Bo
fore his beard began to grow he wuH
appointed stamp clerk in the revenue
office in Reidsville- Having the So
icitorship in view he next began the
study of law and moved back to
Reidsville from Greensboro. in order
to estublisb his residence in the Ninth
Judicial District in time to secure the
nomination for the prosp ctive office
He filled the office of Solicitor for
nearly two terms, resigning only af
ter he had been elected to bis first
term in Congress. Mr. Settle
hardly 30 years old and into his
brief career are crowded at least 15
years of continuous office-holding
and office seeking. Quite a remark
able record along that line, half of
his life spent in the public crib, mak
ing no time allowance for the period
when be was "mewliug and puking
in the nurse's arms," wearing knick
erbockers, going to school or raising
a mustache.
On the other hand, Mr. Joyce.who
has voted the Republican tick-1 as
often as the Honorable Thomas Set
tie, who has rendered u selfish party
service, who has supported his party
and i'vS candidates vn season and out
of season, through good or evil re
port, and who ts easily his peer as a
representative Republican, has never
sought office. He received the ap
pointmeut as postmaster in Reids
ville and was afterwards given the
position of private secretary by the
MR CLEVELAND AND HIS LUCK.
The luckiest nan in these United
States today is the Honorable Grover
Cleveland. "Cleveland luck" is a
phrase that will pass into American
history. Of course there are a great
many fortunate men in the country.
but none who have taken longer
chances and bigger odds and come
out winners on as large a scale as the
Preside! t.
The first prize be took in the poli
tical lottery was the shrievalty of
Buffalo. Next he drew the Gover
norship of New York. Then he got
the capital prize as President of these
United States, defeating Blaine by
the merest chance in securing the
electoral vote of New York State on
a small plurality, making his first
trip to Washington upon the occasion
of his inauguration.
It is scarcely worth while to enum
erate all the minor successes of his
first, administration. It was during
that administration he wrote his
famous, and then though; fatal, tariff
reform message. As the result of
what was then regarded as a suicidal
mistake his luck went against him in
the Presidential contest of 1888, only
to return in bigger and better shape
than ever in 1892. It is well to re
mark here that in every contest he
has received a plurality in the popu
lar vote over his Republican oppo
nent, showing that though the press
and the politicians have roundly
abused him his strength has always
lain with the people and that he has
commanded more of their votes than
any man ever born upon earth.
Time and again has he been shown
to be an invinciple Man of -Destiny.
On the silver question, as on the
tariff, those who differ with him are
forced to concede that circumstances
have favored his policy and program.
For the first two years or more his
administration languished. Thoueh
bis party had both branches of Con
gress he was not sustained by it.
But upon the re-accession of the Re
publicans in the Senate and House
bis old time luck reasserted itself
and every political triumph of any
consequence announced since the
convening of the present Congress
has been a personal one for Mr Cleve
land. During the Salisbury cor
respondence he was denounced from
one end of the country to the other
for being off on a duck hunt and neg
lecting our interests. But upon his
return he immediately sent into Con
gress the message asking for a com
mission to arbitrate the differences be
tween England and Venezuela That
message, which is recent history,
electrified the world "from Indus to
the pole." No public document ever
written created more widespread
comment, or was so universally and
so enthusiastically commended. It
seemed hard luck to Grover when
the bond issue came up on the heels
of an incident which had made him
the hero of the hour. Speaker Reed.
who is said to be a Man of Destiny
himself, but who has been doing
m'gbty little at that business since
the assembling of Congress, sarcasti
cally said that "the President had de
clared war and then made an assign
ment." And when the call for bids
for a poi'ular loan was issued at mid
night Cleveland "caught it." But
the success of the iopular loan shows
that the Old Man has played in mag
nificent luck again and that the peo
ple have, as usual, come to his relief,
as well as to that of the government
The bond issue, unfortunate as it
gave evidence of proving for Cleve
land's popularity, is his latest and
greatest triumph. '
It was at Chicago he was first uom
mated, at which time he was elected.
There is a fateful significance in the
fact that the approaching convention
is to be held at Chicago. As Senator
Brice remarked not longago.it would
be just his luck to be nominated and
elected again in spite of the anti-
third -term talk Whether he accepts
another nomination or not it is al
most certain that he will turn events
between now and then to his own
advantage, and as for his administra
tion, which has so long been under a
weight, of adversity, he is going to
pull it through on the homestretch
and come out more than conqueror
in the end.
He seems to have been attended
throughout his public career by a
luck as stubborn, incorrigible and in
vincible as himself. The good genius
of Fate has taken him in charge. He
always plays for high stakes and
wnen ne loses oouoies on tne game
and secures big winnings in the end
There is a divinity which shapes hs
ends. We belisve he could break the
bank at Monte Carlo. Great is Gro
ver Cleveland, the coolest, nerviest,
pluckiest, luckiest man in all the
world. Charles the First had his
Cromwell, Caesar his Brutus. Anto
ny his Cleopatra, Napoleon his Wat
erloo, and other gentlemen favored
for a season eventually met with
crushing defeat, but we believe noth
ing but good luck and big luck lies
in wait for the wonderful man fron.
Buffalo, who seems mighty enough
to wreck the fortunes of even Chance
itself.

after traveling through that country
for the purpose of informing himself
as to the condition of the people of
that silver cursed (f) country. Since
Col. Jule Oarr has declined to be a
candidate, we are of the opinion that
no other man could poll so heavy a
vote as Walter Clark. He has al
ways been one of those fortunate in
dividuals who was never held to
strict account for the political views
which he held and promulgated and
upon whose shoulders the party lash
has had but precious little effect;
many of those who disagree in to to
with him in his financial and econo
mic views will do him the j astice to
say that in their opinion he would
make the best Governor the State
has ever had, and if the contest were
between him and any Republican in
the State upon the merits of the men,
Clark would most assuredly be
elected. Lumberton Robesonian.
The editor of the Robesonian should
suggest the name of the Honorable
Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court
of the great State of North Carolina,
in connection with something more
commensurate with his versatile, om
niscient qualuies. vve are not in
favor of him for Governor even if
every vote in the State should be cast
for him, as they might be. We want
to see a new office created for his
benefit. How would Supreme Arbi

McKinley is far and away in the
lead for the Republican nomination
for President tk distinctly is he

But as regards the purchase of the

make a remark (based on the ex
periences of Sherman and Alger) to
the effect that he buys best who buys
last.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger one of the
best posted writers in the State on
State affairs, says that there is quite
strong, and, it may be said, a grow

Carr as the Democratic nominee for
Governor. His views as to a straight
ticket are quite generally approved
There are thousands of Democrats
who resent concessions heretofore
made and who say they prefer infi
nitely a straight ticket even if it be
defeated But they think that with
such a ticket they can sweep the
State.

and settled near Mauch Chunk, Pa.,
where the president was born. When 12
years old. young Kruger ran away from

Mauch Chunk was a wilderness, and
young Krugerwas thought to have bttn
devoured by wild beasts.
President Kruger's sister was Mr.
Hay wood's mother. !?be died in Indian

Kruger'e mother lived to be 103 years
of age and died in Philadelphia In 1880.
Joseph KruKer, a well known con

ago, was a brother of the South African
statesman.
Mr. Haywood is preparing to write

As we intimated a tew months ago,
it may not beamiss for gubernatorial
candidates of whatever name to keep
an eye single on Justice Walter
CI rk. For a Democrat in good and
regular standing hs has, for several
years, been writing articles that have
been highly pleasing to the Populists,
IHERE IS NO PROFESSION, whose
labors so severely tax the nervous sys
tem, as that of the ministry. The de
rangement of the nerve centers ot the brain
by over work, frequently brings on attacks
of heart trouble, and nervous prostration.
Kev. J. P. Kester, M. D., Pastor U. B.
church, London Mills, Ills., himself a physi
cian, writes Feb. 26, 1895: "Ileart affection
and nervous prostration bad become bo

November I commenced taking Dr. Miles
New Heart Cure alternately with Dr. Miles'
Nervine and derived the greatest possible
benefit. I have just closed "revival work of
10 weeks, preaching nearly every night and
twice on the Sabbath. I can speak for hours
without suffering as I formerly did. Hard
working ministers should keep Dr. Miles'
grand remedies on hand."

6 pr c. Pota h and 6 pr c available Phosphoric Acid, We have sold this Ferti'iz t wo sea-ot.s in special lots; for partie who
desired a high grade Fertilizer and it gave such good results that we decided to put it on the market. It will cost $30 00 cash
per ton, but we predict that in five years there wi'I be more of jt sold han anv oti jr rand on the market. TKe difference in
