Statesville, Oct. 9. Pinafore was beautifully sung at Colleee Hall to night by local talent. The singers and the public have to thank Mr. H. Scott for the stage effects', which were nar- tlcularly handsome and effective. Mis? Jessie Fowler accompanied on the piano, Mr. Sol. Clarke on the bass -.-ol, hjiu ur. v.na. a. mrner on tne flute. ur. Turner directed the company. Mr. C. E. Stevenson, with his fine bass voice, did the part of Sir Joseph Por ter with fine effect. Dr. J. Flake Carl ton, as Capt. Corcoran, could hnrdiv have been improved uron. He hsji an elegant stage presence and a melodious voice. Mr. C. E. Mills took the part of Ralph Rackshaw with great credit. He was at his best in the solo, "Farewell, My Own." Mr. M. C. Wood aa Dick Deadeye was inimitable. Master Carl ton Andrews, of Charlotte, took thp part of Tom Tucker, midshipmate. Miss uertrude Kobbins. as Josephine, was indeed "a maiden fair to see." and sang her part beautifully. She has a voice or rare volume and flexibility. Miss Gertrude Wood sang the part of Little Buttercup with fine expression and act ed It faultlessly. Miss Blanche Rob- bins made a good Hebe, and the chorus parts were admirably done. btatesville has every reason to con gratulate herself upon this handsome presentation of Pinafore, and those who participated in It have every right to reei proud or themselves.

"FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH." The passing of Lula Cameron Wither- i erspoon to her heavenly reward, after a patient continuance in humble well doing, and with a spirit uplifted by a calm resignation and hope which rob bed death or its gloom, is an edifying example of the place which suffering has in that discipline and purification of tbe soul which makes it meet for the inheritance of the saints in light. As one who knew her well: was witness of I the sharpness of her bodily pains and of tne pongs or in J urea neart and bruised spirit; knowing these because to me as her friend she poured forth In confi dential fullness the story of her ills and wrongs. I can say that I have known few who have been called upon to walk so rugged and painful a way; a way of sorrows. Walking .with the Crucified, she. too, -bore a cross, sharp, bloody, with darkness settling over it at mid day. In this companionship and un der this burden of daily trial and grief,' tne ncneat elements or her character were brought to their highest worth: a sweetness of sympathy and gentleness were inwrought which brought her into closer correspondence with the life of her Divine Friend and Saviour. He who was "made perfect through suffering" perfected her by the same instrument. She has now come Into the painless. tearless, deathless land God's home land. We cannot say that -the Guide was unwise, unkind, "hard" H knew the end to be reached,' and He led her the best way for her. We may be sure that Love will do His best lor His child.

It was said to-day by a prominent-FOpuust that it seemed to him -."the mountain in labor had brought forth a - mouse. In other j words, said he, the Democrats ought to have done two things: either put up straight ticket or divided with the Pop ulists from confutable to United States Senator. He said that June 6th Sena tor Butler had proposed complete fu sion to the Democrats. The Republicans think they have the Populists in a hole; in other words that they have- a "cinch" on them. Cer tainly somebody deceived or misled the Populists' committee into believing Russell was to he taken down and Guthrie supported for Governor. But who told the Populist committee that? Was It Holton? He says "I did not promise it." He also declares he said to the Populist committee that his com mittee was not willing to take Russell down, and that Russell would not sub mit to such a thing. Another Republican who heard Hoi ton say this "last night remarked that the Republicans could not now be made to support Guthrie after the latter'a at tacks upon them. But to return to the Russell matter. It is intimated that Senator Pritchard was willing to see Guthrie supported provided Populists agreed to support Pritchard for the Senate. Now then some friend of Pritchard must have led the Populists to believe that "bye and bye" Russell would be taken down. Some day it will be discovered, perhaps, Who made this promise. Late yesterday afternoon Populist air man Ayer replied to Chairman Manly 's note. He declined to tell what he said in reply. He would say only tnis: ".Everything done amounts to nothing to date: absolutely "nothing." He added "Everything begins at Chair man Manlys headquarters. That is the foundation head of all of this busi ness now." Chairman Manly when asked for news said, with his bright unile and charming graclousness of mariner, "Nothing 11 be given out by me. Chairman Ayer has called the central committee of his party to meet. The Republicans are bringing the ut most pressure to bear on the Ponullsts One Populist committeeman was saying last evening "The Democrats know they are licked." It would not be hard to guess who made that remark, and it all fits In like a section of a composite oicture to near a Republican commit teeman say last night that the Repub Mcans had this Populist "so he couldn't 10 anything." it is stated this evening that the temocratlc central committee Is to meet Monday evening. Chairman Ayer "ays mat tne statement made to-day rh.tt the Populist central committee was called to meet is inaccurate, but that its members are warned to be rearty to meet at a moment's notice. Mr. Ayer says he fully endorses Chairman Holton's action in regard to tne Winston registrars of election. Republican headquarters give out the news mat xom Watson will soon be in this Btate and speak. John M. Langston, a notable colored Kepu oncan, is booked for several speeches. R. O. Patterson, of the Republican Ftate committee, was interviewed this evening, and in reply to the question: "What ts the next move your commit tee intends to take regarding the Popu lists V replied: "We are going to try to complete tne state ticket with the Populists. We will settle it if we can- So far aa Lieutenant Governor and Au tor are corwrned, it will be accom- olished In some sort of way. We will not give the Populists both places." When asked: "Will you take down Henderson for Auditor?" Patterson re plied: "You can easily answer that question yourself." The Republicans are emulating the Chinese" in war tactics now. They are beating gopgs and making a smoke. To "ear them talk to-day one would think they knew every Democratic and Popu "st move. They circulate rumors bv the score. They declare their registra tion Is enormous and that in some pre cincts laid off to contain not over 3!W voters 400 to 500 are registered. This ! an attempt to make it appear that there has been a vast scheme of sup pression of the colored vote. The New Tork Press makes an attack on Associate Justice Walter Clark, in reviewing an article of his in one of the October magazines on what win hap pen "If Silver Wins." The Press terms Justice Clark a "Populist Jurist." Hal Aver spoke of this to-day and sail ''" htn gold-bugs abuse an independent Oemocrat .the hearts of the Populists warm toward the Democrats." Gfn.
