I here seems to be some omission
somewhere in the proceedings of the
convention at Weldon after all. The
proceedings, as published in the Roan

nomination of an elector for this
district, unless the Grover Cleveland
resolution covered the ground. In that
case we shall insist on Capt. Carrawsy
.having the Congressional place and join
in the canvass. Grover toddles around
with a little over two hundred pounds
of humanity, and the two would give
great weight to the canvass and insure
a heavy vote.

Carteret County Democratic Conven
- tlon. - 7
We invite attention to the proceedings
of the Carteret County Democratic Con
vention, published in to-day's paper. It
is refreshing to see that a desire and de
termination is evinced to lay down dis
cord and cherish harmony in the ranks
of the party in that county. Carteret
has always been regarded one of the
foremost counties in political reform,
and all who remember her glorious
record in 1873 will remember how sig
nally 6he disappointed those who hoped
t
see her fag on the march and with-
old her support from Judge Merrimon.
The key-note is sounded from the sea
shore, now let it reverberate from the
mountains. Carteret is solid for the
Democratic nominees of to day and
July the 8th.
The New Berne Jouenal does not
like the idea of having a railroad from
Wilmington to Onslow. It is trying to
throw cold water on the project and to
discourage and dissuade the good people
of Onslow from engaging in railroad
building this way. It thinks a road to
New Berne would be the very thiug
provided the people must have one. It
says:
"The experience of Craven, P.anlico,
Lenoir and Carteret counties should
warn our Onslow fellow-citizens n gainst
contracting a railroad debt. If
Wilmington is really in earnest about
this thing why should not the road be
brought on to Hew Kernel This would
give the Onslow and Jones people the
advantage of both cities, and lrotn a
connecting: link for another great trav
elling thoroughfare through the state,
something this section needs above all
things else just now. What says New
Herne!" if Wilmington comes to JNew
river, let s meet her."
We hope that the road to Jacksonville
will be built, connecting it with Wil
mmgton. It must be butlt. It is t
necessity. We hope that the road will
be extended to New Berne. If this is
done we shall have a fine trade between
Jacksonville and New Berne. WU-
mington Star.
Not exactly throwing cold water, Bro,
Star, but trying to caution the people
against getting into hot water by mak
ing county subscriptions to railroads, as
the counties named have done and
burdened themselves with a railroad
debt which has and will trammel their
finances for long years, except Lenoir
which has obliterated hers at a heavy
cost to the tax payers.
We would be glad to see the road
built; and built from New Berne to
Wilmington; but would wish individ
uals to do the subscribing and let the
counties save their resources to increase
the educational fund for the benefit of
the increasing population that would
suf ely follow such an enterprise,
So far as the trade between Jackson
ville and New Berne being drawn to
Wilmington, we think the Onslow peo
ple quite competent to judge of their
interest in that matter, and our business
men have life enough to look out for
that.
Did it ever occur to the Star that
Wilmington as an exporting city might
with such a route open to us. at least
divide the accumulation of cotton at
this point with Norfolk who now about
monopolizes the entire business
Editor Journal: Owing to the State
convention being held in Raleigh on the
25th inst., it is thought that a quorum
will not be had at the stockholders
meeting at Morehead City on Thursday
the 26tb inst., and it will be necessary
to adiourn the meeting until next day
Friday the 27th, therefore the train for
the accommodation of stockholders and
their families will be run on Friday
the 27th, as per schedule published in

Whereas. A mass convention of the
Democrats of Carteret county was called
to meet at the court house in Beaufort
day, for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the State, Congressional and
Senatorial conventions, wherefore.
Resolved, That we, Democrats of Car
teret county, thus assembled, do hereby
renew our pledges to the Democratic
party, and promise our undivided sup
port to the nominees thereof, and to
exert all honorable means in our power
to secure their election.
Resolved, That we invite all fair
minded men, regardless of former
party affiliations, to unite with us, and
enlist in the great battle of reform
in which we aro now engaged.
Resolved, That ua in unity there is
strength, and in organization there is
success, we most earnestly urge upon
all Democrats the importance of party
unity and harmony.
Kesolved, That the administration ot
Gov. Jarvis has been conspicuous for
wisdom, for thought progress and states
manship, that his domestic policy has
so enlarged and fostered the railroad
system of the State as to make it produc
tive of the greatest development. That
the material interests of the State haye
been so rapidly promoted that North
Carolina stands in the front rank of
States, and that the people of Carteret
county, in convention assembled, most
heartily endorse the general policy of
our eminently practical Governor, and
express the profoundest regret that he
must soon, under tne (Jonstitution, re-
tne from service,
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the system of inland coasting naviga
tion, as inaugurated, and that we urge
upon our public men the importance of
fostering this system and of exerting
tterr efforts in that direction.
Resolved, That the thanks of this con
vention be tendered its officers.
Resolved, That the Telephone, New

Some of the recent investigations as

would seem that those animals are not

Pigs, haying very small brains, are in
no danger of delirium tremens, and
possibly some brutal men, with coarse
organizations, can drink great quanti
ties of liquor without any immediate
bad effects. But the larger the brain
and the more delicate the organization,
the more serious the injury. It is the

There appears to be a great deal of
sickness in our county, particularly
around Trenten. Dr. Scarborough has
been busy almost night and day for the
last two weeks. I suppose that the
measles, and not taking the necessary

cases.

controversy ended.
"Friday last, 20th of June, was picnic
day at Trenton. Early in the day the
people came pouring in from every
direction, most of whom were young
people who brought well filled baskets.
The picnic grounds were on the south
side of Trenton, just across Capt. Page's
mill-run. I arrived on the ground at
10 o'clock and found Mr. Cable seated
at a large table upon which was candies,
nuts and oranges. He had also pre
pared to furnish the crowd with shaved
ice and lemonade. Just a little further
on stood our old friend, Abner Dawson,
and he too was prepared to furnish the
crowd who might call upon him with
ice cold lemonade at a cents a glass.
Not long after my arrival, Abner became
so busy he did not have time to enquire
or tell about crops. A colored man had
a huge tin waiter covered with glasses
of cooling beverage, and while passing
me he sung out "Here is your ice cool
lemonade, swettened with good grande
julated sugar." Some one said to him
that , they preferred pulverized sugar,
and he turned to them and said, "Thank
you, boss, i am just laming tne pro
gramme; will soon lam to suit you all
in a short time." Much an array ot
female beauty and loveliness as was
congregated at our picnic is seldom seen.

tactics to please the ladies, just like
widowers know how to do. Precisely
at 12 o'clock the signal came for dinner
when we all marched up to a plentiful
one nicely arranged, and you may rest
assured we did ample justice and no
mistake. - Everything passed off very
agreeably; nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of the occasion. After dinner
