Barker. inis wen unown pnrenoiogist is talking phrenology to our people and feeling the knobs of their heads this week. He is lecturing nightly at the court house and will probably be with us until the middle of next week. Phre nology is an interesting science and Dr, Barker is remarkably interesting in his exemplification of it. He is one of the most , entortaining of talkers, and whether in private conversation or be fore a publio audience, he can com mand undivided attention. The people are .always glad to see him when he comes around. StatesviHe Landmark. It caching for the Shadow May Lose the Substance, Senator Plumb, of Kansas, was. at Greensboro trying to establish a perpen dicular for the Republicans and Liber als last week, and Judge Foraker, of Ohio, was in Virginia. Now it might look funny if both of these gentlemen should find their States wheeling into the Cleveland line in November. We respectfully submit it as our opinion that such an event is much more likely, than that either North Carolina or Vir ginia sftould go for Blaine, Foraker and Plunib's visits to the contrary, notwith standing." A Child Lost. On Sunday at Rabbit Hill church, on Mill creek, near Polloksville, there was alarge, meeting and a baptism at the creek not far off. Mr, Henry Hall was there and had with him his little boy, about three years old. After the bap tism he took . the child to the house of its grandmother, Mrs. Mercer, near the church,' and left it with her, and went to .the church to preaching. - Some time after this the little fellow, started, out at the yard gate, saying he-was going to look for papa. Mrs. Mercer, thinking it had gone to the church, and Mr. Hall not knowing that the child had left the house, the little fellow was not missed till, about dinner time probably two hours after he had gone out at the gate The alarm spread rapidly through the neighborhood and a hundred or more people were in eager search up to mid night without discovering any traces of the child's whereabouts. The parents are in deep distress and have the sym pathy of all who hear of it. , Lateb. We are glad to report that the child was found yesterday about noon alive and well. He had wandered into a deep pocosin, was all the particu lars we could get over the telephone. .' ' .' ' ;- .V 1 , 1- I.' I li I 'I 1 ... '. J I I : .

' Editok Journal: Will you not give your many readers the full statement of the joint discussion between Doctor York and General Scales at Salisbury on the 29th as it appears in the Raleigh Observer of the 80th of August? This report was made by Mr. S. A. Ashe, the editor of the Observer and not D. R. Walker. I was present at the meeting and know the report to be as fair as it is possible for a Democratic editor to give the public through his paper, much bet ter than most of them would have given, and although I differ with Mr. ABhe as to the cause of the disturbance I desire that your readers may read and judge for themselves if Gen. Scales had any cause or provocation to have used the epithet he did towards Dec tor York and for the further purpose of judging how bias and one-sided the reports of Walker have been of the other meetings between the two candidates, so they can in the future be able to make due allowance for his statements regarding these discussions. By reading Mr. Ashe's report of the Salisbury meeting and Walker's, in the same issue, of the Concord meeting they can judge for themselves if the man that could re main cool, calm, and self-possessed as Doctor York did at Salisbury in the centre of a howling mob would appear hacked and used up the next day at Concord where all was quiet and peace ful. Walker has gone a little too far; the people know him and he has boen exposed by the editor of his own paper in his appearance in the field and report ing the Salisbury meeting. Respectfully, Republican. We cannot comply with "Republi can's" request for two reasons; 1st, the report of the speeches covers nearly an entire page of the A"eu8 and Observer, entirely too much for an issue of the Journal, and 2nd, we have lost the paper that contained it. But bo far as we are concerned we do not hesitate to say that we disapprove of the language used by General Scales on that occasion, and we believe we speak the sentiments of all thoughtful and fair rojnded Demo crats; and we do not dcubt that General Scales himself regrets that he lost his temper, no matter how great the provo cation. Such language as was used at Salisbury, if persisted in, would result in a personal encounter, and it is fearful to contemplate the result of a fisticuff between two candidates for Governor in a crowd of two thousand people, where the friends of each had been wrought up to the highest pitch. If Dr. York so far forgets himself as to make reckless charges for the purpose of irritating his opponent, Gen. Scales is but playing into his hand by descend' ingto notice them. Dr. York cannot truthfully assert that Gen. Scales was lacking in courage during the late war, and a denial of the charge is totally un necessary on the part of Gen. Scales, for the people of North Carolina are satis fied on that point. But how does "Republican" know that D. R. Walker's accounts of the discussions have been so "biased?" The fact that Dr. York was cool, calm and self-possessed on one day is not proof positive that he would not appear hacked and used up" the next day. The first speeches, at Newton, were re ported in full in the Raleigh Register, and according to our way of thinking Scales won a victory. Besides, we have seen gentlemen who heard the discussion at Marshall and they Bay emphatically that Scales made votes. D. R. Walker is a Democrat, and of course desires the success of the Democratic ticket, but we do not believe that he would wilfully deceive the people even in reporting a discussion between the candidates of the two parties. The News and Observer can't afford to let him do it; the Demo cratic party can't afford to have it done. Of course some allowance must be made for a man's inclinations. Walker natur ally desires to see Scales victorious in the discussions, and may color the re ports when he honestly believes his man has won the victory. But we know that Walker is just as free from bias in his re ports as "Republican" would be, if not a little more so. , ABedof TVlldRoseg. . Several miles this side of Trenton, N. J., on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is a beautiful bed of wild roses, over six aores ia extent. The flowers, freshened by the recent showers, are very fragrant and area source of great interest to the passen gers on the trains. The variety is known as the "dog-rose." They grow only in marshy land. N. Y- Herald. The Emperor Louis Napoleon smoked only the finest cigars the world could produce. Prof. Horsford says the Em- Eeror's cigars were made specially for im in Havana from leaf tobacco grown in the Golden Belt of North Carolina, this being the finest leaf grown.' In or der that American smokers may have as good tobacco as the late Emperor, Blackwell's Durham Long Cut is now offered to the public.' It is made from the same leaf used in the Emperor's cigars, is absolutely pure and is unques tionably the best tobacco for either pipe or cigarette ever offered. - . ' .

We receive some fine fruit now and then from our friends. Wednesday we received some of the finest and largest pears of the Le Conte variety we have saen this season; one of them, sent to us by Miss Katie Venters, weighed 101 Ounces. Thanks, Katie, please do so again. They were grown by her father, Mr. S. Venters, who has a great variety of pears, apples, peaches and grapes. Also, we received some very tine apples from Mr. Ned Murrill; some time do so again, Ned, and don't forget it.

Cad. Koonce and Ed. Franks havo talked so much about their fine pros pects in farming, that other people be gin to look around too, and find out the best way to be found out was to brag a little now and then on their crops, like Cad. and Ed. But it certainly is a fact in our community that people won't have so much corn to buy next year, that is, if no worse things happen than nave happened so far, and such is the case, I hear, all over the county, and provisions are not very high in price, though turpentine is very low. We quote the prices of a few things we buy as follows: Beef, 0 to 6c; dressed lambs, 6 to 8o. ; dressed chickens, 12 to 25c.; eggs, 10c; cabbage, lc. per pound; onions; $1.00 per bushel; country butter, 25c. per pound; cider, 15c. per gallon; green apples, 83io. per bush.; Irish po tatoes, good, $1 per bush., and so on; and if the good farmers make as good crops as expected, they onght to live and hel p others to live also.

Col. Katansky, had sentenced' her brother, who was a member of tho revo lutionary society to penal servitude for life. The girl entered Col.
