Kn tared at tbe Post office at New H"i, N (1. aa aeoonoVclaas natter 1 LET IT CONTINUE. . : The joint canvass between Scales and York is doing great good for the Demo cratici cause, and we hope It will be Continues aa long as possible. '. The con trast between Dr. York and Gen. Scales is so favorable to the latter that good must result from hearing and seeing the wo men together. 1 If Scales does dra a big crowd for Yprfc to speak to, let i befso nd harm 'can 'result to the Democratic party. ' Neither candidate would have much of an audience if they went about 'separately. Joint discus sions draw the people together, and Democrats ace not afraid of a joint dis cussion. Home Democrat. ' ( This ia sound sense. The Demo crafie" party onght hot to fear tho result if its standard bearer is the equal of the candidate of the oppo site -party, because the vantage Ground, in havinE: the truth on their side, would be with their can didate. Some of our Democratic papers .seem to have forgotten that the lack of a joint canvass defeated Mebeimon in 1872; that the heated, joint canvass in 187G elected Vance by about fifteen thousand majority; that the sudden breaking off of tbe joint canvass between Jakvis andJ Buxton cost Jakvis several thou sand rotes, and that the want of a joint eanvass in 1882 cawie near de feating 1 Bennett. Let the joint canvass coutinue. WASTING TIME. In his charge to the Grand Jury of Wuke county this week, Judge Gudger spoke with some emphasis of punishing the road-overseers who have neglected their duty. Directing such prominent and threatening attention to this sub ject is exceedingly wholesome; and if severe -punishment were inflicted on a negligent,man 'ortwo (if tiiere be such ami are there not?),'' men might wake up to the importance of good roads. State Chronicle. We have heard judges, 4,ime again, t'speak with emphasis," ;on this verrsuliject arid we have long been of the opinion that it was time wasted. Now when Judge Gudger was speaking with some emphasis about this matter to the Grand Jury of Wake he was, in all proba bility, speaking to some of the very men whom he thought should be punished; and if not to them, most assuredly to those who have to work the road under them. Will a man indict himself, or will men in dict a man for not calling them out more frequently, to perform a lew days of involuntary servitude? Not ii tjiey can possibly evade it. The '' Vhronicle is on tbe right tract when it says: t But the sooner we put the whole sub ject on another and better and more modern basis, the happier people we Bhall be ' ' If all our people were taxpayers there would be no time lost in in traducing a better system. But the trouble is we have a large number who pay , nothing for the adminis tration of the government ander which they live, while they enjoy i ts privileges. They exercise the right of suffrage, claim the protection of the courts in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, are given public schools for the education of their children, and for all this they contribute nothing for the general welfare unless it is occasionally a day's ' work on the public roads. But after all would it not be better for the tax payers, ' who have more use for public roads than the non tax payer, to have better roads no matter at what cost, or under what f vstemt We agree with the Chron- iJe that the present necessity of ravins tribute, to mud-holes is crse than the protective tariff.

Delegates to the annual election and picnic of the Lime-Kiln .Club began? to arrive- Friday 'morning, and were received by local members Atationwl" at different points, Kearly all delegates from the AVeat came in on the dirt roads, having their shoes in one hand and a satchel in the other.

',, All delegates reiwrted at Para dise Hall as soon as possible, and there met Brother Gardner, and were given it uliee of watermelon and assigued lodgings, s Every local member had - from two to five in his cabin, and all were hand somely accommodated. . On Friday evening Paradiso Hall was thrown open, twenty two lamps nguteu, and all delegates gathered there for a general good time. The follow ing pertinent inquiries were ' pro pounded and discussed: ' 'Cannot American genius thin down , the rind of the watermelon arid thicken up the core!" ; ; f'hy can't we have persimmons the year round, the same as sore throats!',' , " "Does progress on the part of tbe colored race demand that we throw the 'possum overboard!'' , -SATURDAY MOENIN The members were again at the hall, and after a short address by Brother Gardner, in , which' he ad vised everybody to Work up a feel ing of perfect tranquillity and pay no attention to cholera reports, the statesmen formed in procession and marched to. the foot of Russell street, where a sand barge and a tug were in waiting to convey them down the river to Fighting Island. Among the banners in the proces sion may be named: Tennessee "Time will take the sun-burn off." I : i Missouri "De gals kin read an' de boys kin cipher." Ohio "De heel am growiu' shorter." ' ' Indiana "We am on de climb." Georgia "We's got our rights an' de white mau has lost none of bis." Mississippi '-Hitch along ein us room to spell out de an' big words." Arkansas "If lias bin a dry time, but deco'n am eouiiu' up." The procession was headed by a string band composed of local mem bers, and many compliments were received for the manner in which it rendered spirited music along the route. THE games.

" . , , ; ; , THE ELECTION , The. old man sat down amidst a storm of applause, and the Hon. Augustus VValkback, of New ITork, moved that Brother Gardner be re tained as President for tbe ensuing year by acclamation. ; .The Eev. Penstock opposed this, and moved for an informal ballot to bring out candidates, but some one hit him in the head with a harvest apple and the previous motion prevailed. A ballot was then taken for the several other offices, with the fol lowing result: Vice-Presidout Professor Ginger Lemmgton, ol Massachusetts. Grand Secretary Hon. Thomas Biggs, of Nova Scotia. Grand Treasurer Gen. Stan down Greene, of Georgia.- 4 Grand Janitor Eev.
