We call attention to the "ad" of Goo, Allen & Co., agents for the People's , Mutual Life Assurance Co., and to the new feature in life insurance, viz: The plan of issuing policies, with five cou ' ' pons; payable at stated periods, so that if a person insures for $5,000 he receives a policy with coupons attached, and - collects them during his life time.

We regret that our limited knowledge of botany, pomology and so forth, prevented our being able to even suggest a name. General Scales Letter. General Scales has written his letter of acceptance, and unlike his competi tor, places himself . squarely on the platform of principles laid down by the conventions of the State and Nation, . . " and avows a purpose to carry these out ia the, administration of the affairs of . the State, should he be elected. This is the good old way of accepting nomina- - tions and shows that the candidate does not feel himself as more or less than the exponent of the principles of the party that has' nominated him: , However, Gen. Scales has one advan tage of his. opponent, in this matter. The General has tut one platform to stand upon,-while the Doctor is trying to spread himself over two the Liberal and the Republican both which he eeems to call the coalition. ' . (' s. r -.' '3 wri; 3 a good letter, and v; '.j a fool (Jove' '"'r. - The Jewel. . The Jewels are not a unit though they may move under the unit rule. They say the unit indicates too small a num ber arithmetically for their ideas. Upon State issues they are now about to take a stand, although they will still wait for a more decided prospect of cot ton. If the crop i.i good and tlw times brisk they may Bide with the Independ ents, but otherwise they will fall in and poll with the regulars, although Scales has done a good deal forthePannel and it is hoped will continue to do so, notwithstanding ten cents per bale is all the Legislature would allow to be collected from that source on the plat form. Dr. York squelshed the enthu siasm in the Pannel for him by the Roaring Gap speech in which he said he was the same Old York, because a good number of the members were thinking earnestly of going to NewYqbk As to Blaine and Cleveland, there is a halt; a part of the Pannel is waiting to hear from John Kelly and another part from Mr. Evarts, while a third nartv is waiting to hear rrom the election in November before taking hold too rank; but by the fourth of March it is now thought their position will be well de-l fined, that is if they can get aDy position under the new administration. As to platforms they say neither party has a better one for the Jewels than the cotton platform, nor does the question of duties on imports affect them much. The duty of highest import to them is the one they owe to themselves to keep out of the sun these hot days. No administration would shed any lustre on this country that would equal in their estimation, the shade which Dail's shod affords them and the admin istration of a little ice water occasion ally. One has bet a hat on the result in one of the States, and has so adjusted the chances that if ho loses the hat he will get a light house, but the Pannel will condemn betting in all cases where results are more doubtful. As to office, the Pannel want none; (that they are likely to get) they have never aspired to anything higher than that of Constable and for that they are under no obligations to the administra tion. Organization. The Democratic executive committees of the several townships of Craven county held a meeting at the court house on Saturday and effected a per manent organization by electing A. W. Wood, chairman, and Matt Manly, sec retary and treasurer. Mr. Wood .s a young man of remark able energy and perseverance, and he s an opportunity now to show his ability and skill in conducting a can' vass. Gov. Jarvis stated in his speech hero before the Cleveland and Scales Club that five hundred Democrats in Craven county stayed away from the polls on election day two years ago. The work in hand now is to get these men to go to the polls on election day and vote. The only way to get them out is by organized efforts, and the sue cess of the effort depends much upon the prudence and activity of the chair man of the executive committee. The Central Club of this city will doubtless co-operate with him and the executive committee in organizing the several townships, and thereby bring out a full vote. . Removed. Dr. Geo. K. Bagby, Surgeon Dentist, has removed to the B rinson House, on South Front street, opposite the Gaston Houso, where he will be pleased to re ceive calls from all who require his ser vices. ', 1 . - 7 " , - Beaten at Last. Mr. Hill has raised the finest potatoes, and raised the finest tomatoes, but in raising water-melons he met defeat; he was succeeding in raising some very fine ones, and expected to enjoy one to-day, but some of the boys found it out and raised them over the fence, and that is why the printers all say, "beaten at last." But should those boys ever be caught in that garden they would have no Cause to pray that the Hills and mountains Bhould fall upon them. -V," List of Letters " ' Remaining in the postoffice at New Berne, Craven county, N.

Scales and Dr. York met at New ton to-day and spoke to an audience of aDout two thousand. Scales opened with a strong and man ly presentation of Democratic principles quick, sharp, incisive,- aggressive. He confused York on civil rights and internal revenue. ' ' York, a bold, strong and no ordinary competitor, took position that the Demo cratic platform adopted at Chicago was strong for ciyil rights. He stands on no platform and discussed but few principles. Scales handles him- well and shows himself the equal of any man on the stump. He was loudly cheered. Good order was maintained. Catawba county promises 2,000 majority for Scales. S. A. Ashe. Meeting of Democratic Executive Committee. The Democratic Executive Committee met at the court house yesterday at 12 o'clock nr. On motion, E. H. Meadows was called to the choir, who stated that the pur pose or tne moeting was for permanent organization. On motion, E. Gerock was elected temporary Secretary. . On motion, A. W. Wood was elected permanent Chairman, Matt Manly Sec retary and Treasurer. A motion was made by Dr. Slover that seven constitute a quorum. Motion by S. R.

Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, Aug. 1, '84. Editor Journal: I am slad to be able to report as the summer advances a most gratifying success of the season at this hotel. That this success is deserved there is most perfect unanimity of opin ion. From Mr. Raney, whose perfect aplomb and unfailing courtesy is some thing admirable, throughout the whole corps of attachees the attention is really excellent, from every guest who de- parts you hear the strongest approval of the entertainment. "Wood bye. We will moot again here next year," are the last words heard. So say we all Sailing by moonlight is the delight of this particular season. Commodore Dickson and his fleet of captains are al ways ready to take you out, although the Commodore very properly exercises his own judgment as to the proper weather. Some of the ladies notably Mrs. Carlton Hillyer, Mrs. Dewey, of Charlotte, and Mrs. James McKimmon, are preparing a pantotmne for Monday. They have excellent material in Mr John D. Williams, Mr. Phonso Young, Mr. Romaine and others for some real comedy. if the acoustic properties of the ball room prove good a series of delightful entertainments may be looked for. In deed l expect some of the pleasantest events of the season yet to come, and have every assurance of a gay August season. We would like to preserve status, but the individuals, though not the character of the company is con stantly changing. No more congenial conmanv ever came together than is assembled under this roof. Gentle manners is the only requisite for full fellowship. The un affected simplicity of demeanor and consideration for others of the men of most distinguished rank in the State Governor Jarvis, and Senator Vance and the cheerful participation in all kinds of games among the young peo pie by Mrs. Jarvis and Mrs. Vance go far toward imparting a tone of easy good humor and graceful dignity to a gathering of most accomplished people No North Carolinian Is out ranked in society in his State and while Jarvis and Vance are honored with office the leveling in society will be up toward their own dignity and not downward through any. Of the New Berne young ladies Miss Mamie Meadows and Miss Mamie Amyette supplement the band of excel lent musicians with their piano forte playing. Miss Maude Amyette is also here; although we are often charmed by her wit and beauty yet her exquisite voice is too seldom heard. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Green and Mr. P, M. Pearsall, of Trenton, are among those en joying the German tonight. l , will give you some individual characteristics in my next. T. N. The Ninth District. Special to News ad i Observer. , Asbeville, August 1. Yesterday the Democratic Congressional convention of this district met here. The attendance was remarkably large and the interest greater than ever before known. The names of Robert B. Vance, James L. Robinson and Thomas D. Johnson were placed before the convention. Ten bal lots were taken without a ohoice. Johnston led. On the eleventh ballot the name of James H. Merrimon was placed in nomination. No result was reached and after this ballot the con vention adjourned until today. , This morning early it resumed its work. The dead lock could not be broken. Ballot after ballot was taken, amid great excitement, until the sixty sixth. The struggle was between Vance, Johnston and Robinson. After the sixty-sixth ballot Vance withdrew. The sixty-seventh ballot resulted as iouows Johnston 118. Robinson lup. - M. H. Justice, of Rutherford county was chosen elector, by acclamation. To-night a grand ratification meeting is being held here. ' , HOBOood. - 'Hanover, O., Feb. 13, 1884. Afterhavlng lung fever and pneumo nia I had a dreadful cough and could not sleep at night.

Another good rain Thursday evening, with considerable-wind in some places. WUKandrain Monday evening. Trees were blown down north of this place. It is said Dr. Hadley has 25 acres of rice better, if possible, than S: I. Wooten's. Mr. B. Hadley and John Perrv. of Chatham, spent a short time in our place this week, the former visiting his son, ur. Hartley. A thief not having the fear of God or the law, entered R. C. Croom's smoke house Monday night and stole about 125 pounds of bacon. A number of our town's people and many from the country, visited the fruit fair and came back well pleased with what they tasted and saw, We hear that J. P. Joyner, Esq., will soon erect a residence on his lot on N. Railroad street. We don't believe John intends keeping "bachelor's hall." LDvit Hines' steam mill, planing ma chine and about ou.uuu feet of good lumber were burned on Monday nicht. It is suspected that it was fired by some person. It is a loss to the entire com munity. Mrs. Margaret A. Croom has bought a lot, of Dillon & Hadley, adjoining the lots or w. ri. times and others and con tracted for the building of a residence We suppose Mrs. Croom will make her home here shortly.and we welcome her Bradstreets of July 26th has this to say Of the cotton crop: "Having re gard to the entire cotton belt, the con dition of the plant as to blooming and fruiting is fair. A medium state of cultivation is reported, and the general prospects lor an average crop arc not thought to he above fair." John Rouse has purchased a lot from Dillon & Hadley, on street, and is erecting a residence thereon. There is greater demand for lots and more irn provements going on in our place than for sometime. And why not? We have as healthy and otherwise as desir able place as any in Eastern North Caro lina, our schools are second to none in the State and church facilities are excel lent. Foreign News. London, Aug. 1.

It is reported from Cardiff that a man had died of cholera on board the French steamer Graville, from Marseilles, which is lying anchor in the roads. The body was thrown overboard. Another man aboard the ship is very ill. WAR! WAR! WAR! The greatest political war perhaps for the last century is now about to open and that every Cleveland or Blaine man may take an active part in this great political fight, it is of great importance that he should commence at once to lay in his supplies of Groceries and Dry Goods at the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMf JlKlSx E HOWARD'S, that he may give the necessary time to achieve the greatest victory ever gained in these United States. Tne war has actually begun from the Presidential Chair down to the lowest county offices. Some may cry peace, peace, but there will be no peace until every man shoulders his pocket-book and goes down to the Great Cheap Cash Store of HUMPHREY & HOWARD'S, and buys a suppl$of Dry uoods, Uroceries, Boots and Shoes, etc Sold at the lowest living prices, d w ' "Facts are stubborn things," and suf ferers from chills and fever generally find their complaint a very stubborn fact, until they commence the use of Ayer's Ague Cure.
