When Joe Caldwell ceases to be a

be followed by many the ex-

There is one thing certain, the Char-
Observer will be found in the

Democracy as it has the past,
and this is saying a great deal.
Some days ago the Reflector had
something to say a list of en-
in the town of Salisbury, as
published in and that the
advertising columns of the papers of
that town tailed to verify the claim that
so many stores and factories wen- there.
Commenting we had to say
in the matter the Herald says
first impulse of the Herald was
to get mad and talk back at the Re-
but when its meaning was
understood our lighting notions van-
This was especially the case
when we looked at the advertising col-
of the Reflector and saw fully
thirty local business houses represented,
several of them taking a full column of
space, and then looked at the columns
of the Herald with less than half
number of houses represented.
And the comparison is the greater, too,
when we recalled the fact that the
is published in a town not
half the size of Salisbury and which
was recently visited by a fire that de-
nearly half its business
The-Herald went on further to say
that it was not through its
hat a. the had suggested
hut that Salisbury really had more en-
that were mentioned, for some
overlooked in making up the
long list that it published. Well, if
that is so, then Salisbury must have
most unenterprising set of business
men of any town in existence. How-
ever, it is not Salisbury that we want
to talk about to-day, but of Greenville
along the line of comparison by
the Herald.
Greenville may not yet have become
entirely relieved of all her
ideas, but it can never be charged that
her business men are made up of a set
of barnacles.
There be now and then one of
that class found, but as a whole their
enterprise will not suffer by comparison
any town anywhere. The columns
of the Reflector show this, and tell
that our community is composed
of men of energy and enterprise.

are not to exceed ten business homes in
the town which are not advertises, and
even some of them advertise occasion-

a fighting chance for success. A care-
study of the returns of the

shows an unusually large number
districts earned by very small
ties by the republicans, and a
son of the votes in the same districts

brought about in many of them simply
by ll remaining at home.
There is very little doubt that a ma-

the full democratic vote can
be got out. The Congressional om-
will make special efforts that
line, in districts which are naturally
democratic. The failure of the
of the present to keep the

it is expected, help the democrats in
all districts where the class of voters
who never permanently ally themselves
with either party hold the balance of
power. Many of that class voted
with the republicans in who may
be to vote for a democrat this
year.

Cleveland's first Postmaster General,

following this the business must
inevitably come to the South. It
is only another demonstration of
the unequaled advantages of this

as well as in regard to cotton
manufacturing, and of many
of industry, as well as of

at last drowning.
The Town No Authority to
Bonds at Present.
The committee appointed to look
after the construction of a system of
water works for Greenville have found
an obstacle that will prevent further
prosecution of the plans tor th-1 present.
The question was raised as to the town's
authority to issue bonds or notes, and
an investigation developed the tact that
under its present charter the town has
no such authority. The contrary had
bee., thought to be true, but the
having repealed certain clauses
in the charter of the town the right
i-sue bonds was taken away. The
only course now open to legalize the
issuing of bonds is to wait until the Leg-
meets next January, and have
that body to hold
an election on the question. This is the
step that will be taken.
these developments will delay
the construction of a system of water
works for some months, the
believes tint nothing is lost by what
has already been this
during the last few weeks.
meeting of the citizens and agitation
of the question was timely and
has brought out an expression from
the people as to what they want. This
will not have to be gone over again to
get the people in favor of water works,
for it is known that nearly every citizen
favors it. What should be done in
meantime is to have every thing in read-
by the time the Legislature meets
and get the proper bill passed as soon
sis possible after the organization of
body.

Editor saw some
weeks ago that our County
were thinking of working the
roads by convicts. Wonder if they
have quit thinking of it We hope
they will take such a step, as we think
it will better in every way. That
we have poor roads is well understood
That they would be better if worked by
convicts is equally well known to those
who have traveled in Lenoir or any
other county where it is done.
What shall be done with State
is a question that has puzzled
every government that ever existed. It
is unwise and unjust that they should
compete with honest labor, and is a bad
policy whenever tried. And we see it

and twice came near being
overrun by her former subjects. France
in the reign of terror was desperate
enough to try to kill them all. This
they found very expensive, as the gov-
was at great cost to bury all its
subjects, and they finally quit the
tom as burial ground was growing
scarce. So we see it has been a
to all nations, and it is surely one
to us to get our roads worked. So let's
dispose of both questions at once.
