of a saber. None of the enemy in

As the orderlies turned the bend the
young man turned his horse and
started back down the road on a dead

then I banged away at him with my
revolver and went after him, but I
took the wrong road at the forks,

One day I was almost startled out of

tell me that there was a lady at his

There is no question deeper
interest to the provinces of the
Canadian Dominion, or to
I country which at present lies out-
side the boundaries of the United
States, than the inquiry what
would be the rights of such prov-
or country in respect to pro
visions concerning religion with
its territory. far as the Fed
government is concerned,
that, as we know, from
touching the matter, by the first
amendment to the
which declares that Congress shall
make no law respecting an
of a religion or prohibit
the tree exercise thereof-
That limitation on the powers of
Congress is largely due to the
course taken by North Carolina,
which, us is refused
to adopt the constitution, unless
supplemented by amendments of
which this is the chief. The fact
shows that North Carolina was
, determined to reserve to itself as
a State the exclusive light of reg-
religion ; and, for that
reason, the record of the relations
of Church State in that Com

as well as Baptists.

nonconformists suffered from the

Worst of all was the en-
in North Carolina of
the Schism act, repealed in Eng-
land 1718, which prohibited
anyone from keeping a school
the provinces unless he had ob-
I a certificate from the Au-
authorities. There is not
a doubt that the enforcement of
this act to the period of tho
revolutionary war, through the
widespread ignorance which it
engendered, is
fur the large percentage of
literacy, and for the backward-
of intellectual activity char-
of tho State to-day.
If tho Revolution really began
in North Carolina, as the natives
of that State it was be
cause the people were even more
inflamed by a desire for religious
freedom than by the wish for
The bill of
rights and State constitution,
adopted by tho Provincial Con-
at Halifax in December,
1776, asserted the natural and in-
alienable right of men to worship
Almighty God according to tho
dictates of their own consciences.
It was farther laid down
there should be no establishment
of any one religious Church or
denomination in the State of
North Carolina in preference to
other. Neither should

led to attend place of
ship contrary to his own faith, or
judgment, or be obliged to pay
for the purchase of any or
the building of any house of
ship, ox the maintenance of any
minister, contrary to what ho be-
right or had voluntarily
and personally engaged to per-
form. On the contrary, all per-
sons should be at liberty to
their own mode of worship.
These declarations involved the
downfall of the established
Church. It only remained for the
laws of tho new State to be
brought conformity with the
constitution. Marriage was
put on proper footing in 1778 by
i a law giving the privilege of per-,

There is no doubt that the

Gaston, who had successful-
a member of the State Senate,
a Representative in Congress, and
a justice of the State Supreme
Court. No complaint was made
when Judge Gaston assumed his
seat upon the bench, nevertheless
it was thought best to amend the
section in question when the

There WM a to band en-
counter in the House of Com-
mons in England a few days ago
in which a large number of the
dignified members took part, and
not a few of them received marred
countenances, very for from being
keeping with tho character of
these distinguished lords- Doubt
less the entire people are very
much shocked to think and know
that such u scene is to form a part
of tho history of their country.
Well, with all the assumed dig-
and they
are still human, though they may
not realize this. Mr. Gladstone
has been asked for a committee
to investigate the matter, but says
he will consider a while before
acting. This much, however, may
be said to tho credit of tho body,
that such an occurrence is quite
an unusual thing and it is much
to be that it had not in
some way been obviated in tho
present case.
It is very evident that those of
tho colored people who have
minds and opinions of their own,
and are not driven about by a

are not- taking much stock in

The Taylor who was
in New York last week,
furnishes an example of the fact
that science has not yet discover-
ed a way to make death painless
and instantaneous. After thous-
ands of bolts had been sent
through him he was not dead.
Tho machine was then found to
be inoperative and the poor
fortunate had to taken from
the chair, and allowed to breathe
and groan heavily, while it was
being adjusted. Finally he was
given morphine and again placed
in the chair to receive a second
current. Death soon resulted,
but not until a horrible scene had
been witnessed by those present-
Most of us are about convinced
that this method of taking the
life of a criminal is not much

a cart, a rope and the limb of

Before another issue of this pa-
per the Congress of this Nation
will have assembled in
nary session, having been called
together by President Cleveland
on account of the depressed
condition of the country. It
is a critical time in the history of
tho Democratic party. We are
suffering from the bad legislation
of thirty years put upon us by
the Republican party. The Dem-
now have control of both
branches of Congress and the
President. The country from one
end to the other is filled with ca-
howlers and chronic
who profess to believe that
the being now
in power can and ought to give
immediate relief- Just think that
Congress should expected to
undo in one week what a great
party has been doing for the past
thirty years- No sensible person
expects such thing, but their
have sprung up professed
of the people who are
duping them to that tho
Democratic party the power j
to legislate prosperity at will and
spontaneously time- No
who knows anything about this
government but is conscious of
the fact that our financial troubles
are not the result of any one
act of any one party, but a
combination of legislative acts
at various sections of this
great Union, which when taken
as a whole, have fastened upon us
depression from which if we are
relieved in the next four years we
may congratulate ourselves and
thank the grandest party that
ever existed in this or any other
country. We look for Congress
to begin at once legislation which
shall finally result in freedom
from burdens under
which we are laboring, but we
are conscious that this is no act
of a day, but the work of sessions
of the body even with the best
talent enlisted in this direction
Just give the Democratic party a
fair chance and it will never be
found wanting either in plans or
operations to give the best Gov-
that any people ever had.
Tho Institutes held
here last week closed on Friday.
It is unnecessary to say much
reference to the work done. Each
day during the week instruction
was given on the various branch-
es of study and the best methods
to be employed teaching them,
and we believe much was done
for tho cause of education this
county. Tho attendance was
good, the interest better, and the
work done still better. Profs.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
our Regular
July
Secretary is the only
member of tho Cabinet at present
in Washington, and ho has been
con lined to his house for several
days this week by rheumatism,
but next week President Cleve-
land, and the other members of
the Cabinet will be here, as they
have been notified that the
dent wishes to submit the first
draft of his message to Congress
to them and have a full and free
discussion of its contents before
it is finally completed.
Attempts are numerous at try-
to guess the nature of the
President's coming message, but
it is nonsense for anyone outside
of the Cabinet and a few close
personal friends of Mr. Cleveland
and they won't talk about it
to pretend to know. The mere
fact that he will send another mes-
sage to Congress at the opening
of the regular session, even should
the extra session remain
until then, and the general belief
is that it will, make it presumable
that his message to the extra
will be confined to what it
was called to legislate
And if this presumption
be correct it will not indicate any
change of opinion as to the
for tariff and other reforms
advocated by the Democratic par-
during the Merely
that circumstances have made it
necessary to up finance first.
Speaking of reform,
is going right
ahead in the mapped
out for the reformation of the pen-
roll, notwithstanding the
howl that is raised by a few
Congressmen whose constituents
have been suspended. It has
ready been discovered that, in ad-
to the large number of pen-
granted under the last ad-
ministration without proper ex-
of the applicant and
his papers, there were thousands
granted illegally, knowingly and
Only those granted
the act of 1890 have yet been
examined and no others can be
taken up for a long time. The
suspensions up to date number
nearly and if the same av-
be kept up in the entire
pensions granted under
that law the total number of
pensions will be something like
75,000- The examination is very
thorough and systematic and only
those cases showing clearly some
irregularity or doubt of the right
of the pensioner to receive the
amount he has been getting are
suspended, and few, if any, of
those who get restored to the roll
upon a re-examination will get as
large a pension as they have been
receiving.
remarked a
friend of the man who has proven
his right by his on many
occasions to be classed as a Dem-
leader, announces
through the newspapers his
political intentions, and that
fact is so well known that he very
seldom takes the trouble to con-
the newspaper stories
which appear from time to time
purporting to give detail what
tie intends to do in case this or
that happens in the Senate. It is
safe to say, however, that his
actions, like those of tho past
will always be such as will meet
the approval of a majority of good
Democrats, and to any also that
advance announcements of them
which may appear may always be
set down as merely
One of the most encouraging
signs to those who expect
relief from the legislation of
the extra session is the fact that,
while most of the Democratic Sen-
and Representatives have
ideas of their own as to the
needed, a majority of them
express themselves as willing to
hear the arguments of those who
advocate oilier ideas, and to be
open to conviction if the other
argument be the best.
Gen. Duncan S. Walker, the
chairman of the on in-
of the centennial
of the the corner
stone of the Capitol building, to
be held September 18th next, this
week sent invitations to the Gov-
of all tho States and their
staffs to participate. President
Cleveland has promised to intro-
duce the principal speaker at the
celebration, who will be Mr.
Henry, of Virginia, a
descendant of Patrick Henry.

J. P. Esq.,
Dear take no exception
to your comment on my recent
letter to the Mecklenburg County
Alliance, beyond the fact that
you authoritatively designate me
as differing from my party, and
misrepresent my words with the
letter before you. The charge
that a Democrat is at variance
with his party, who refuses to fa-
the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman la, depends for its
truth on what the party laid down
in its platform at Chicago, if
promises and pledges amount to
anything. Let us see The Chi-
platform demands inter
the repeal of the Sherman law, as
a cowardly makeshift, an
to the free coinage of silver,
etc. The obvious meaning of
this is, if that law was out of the
way we could have free coinage
quote from memory, having no
copy of the platform before
That is one of the things I pro-
pose to put in place of the Sher-
man law ; and I propose to vote
. -.-1 i repeal unless that be
done. If my party is opposed to
that, then its at Chi-
were insincere and intended
to deceive ; if it was sincere, then
I am trying to stand on the plat-
form. Again, it pledges the
party to the use of both gold and
silver, on equal terms, without
discrimination either as
to coinage, et cetera. Now, if we
cease to coin one and refuse
tender it in payment even of
which by the contract are
payable therein, we do
against that metal in coinage
and virtually cease to use it. In
opposing the repeal of the Sher
man law without some substitute
preserving the use and coinage of
silver, I am squarely with the
party, and those who favor
conditional repeal are not with it
but are violating its solemn
pledges.
Again, tho platform pledges the
party to such legislation as shall
maintain the parity between gold
and silver, so that a gold dollar
and a silver dollar shall be inter-
changeable and one as good as
the other. Now, in objecting to
the repeal of the only law on our
statute books which binds us to
the use of silver at all, without
some substitute or condition tend-
to make good the promises of
the platform, no honest man can
doubt that I am with and not
against the party which made
those promises. The only
way to avoid this conclusion
is to assume either that those
promises were fraudulent and
not binding, or that the party has
since changed its position and
now favors abandoning silver
together, and of neither of these
propositions is there any proof
acceptable to me. The pledges
of the platform are joint and not
separable on the subject of silver
money. You cannot select
the repeal of the Sherman law for
example, and propose to redeem
it alone and denounce those who
insist on the fulfillment of all,
untrue to the party or differing
from it. Nor will men of common
sense who are loyal to the
poses they profess surrenderer
the advantages of their position
The law now in existence can be
kept thus by the non-concurrence
of either the House, the Senate
or the President to its repeal;
whereas, that Sherman r once
repealed, the measures
they may which are t take
its continue the use of
both gold and silver, maintain
their parity, remove the tax on
State bank circulation the
to be passed by
affirmative legislation requiring
the concurrence of all three
branches of -the law-making de-
No sensible man ac-
with the situation can be-
for a moment that these
measures could be passed under
such circumstances. The power
of that combined capital which
has forced the calling of the extra
session and is threatening to de-
again, and finally, the use
of silver money, would certainly
be able to influence at least one
branch cf the legislative depart-
which would be sufficient
for their purposes. Be not de-
; evil communications
good politics as well as good
manners. The professed friend
of silver money who will favor
the unconditional repeal of
tho Sherman law, trusting to
the justice of capital or the chap-
of accidents to get favorable
legislation thereafter is either a
traitor or a fool.
I cannot conclude my letter
without expressing both my
prise and sincere regret at other
statements in your editorial.
Hints that my letter gives aid to
Republican and Third party men
I was prepared to see, as also the
coupling of my name with that of
Butler, by such a
money toady as your
correspondent, but I
know of nothing in your past life
or my own which led me to expect
such things from you.
In the closing paragraph you
speak of my letter as containing
public and deliberate avowal
of sympathy with the . financial
policy of the
Now. sir, unless you assume what
no intelligent man will grant, that
the maintenance of silver as
is exclusively the
of that organization, a re-
loading of my letter would at once
have shown you that there was
not one word of truth in the state-
; not one. Read the letter
over and see if you are not com-
to confess that you spoke
too soon.
I am squarely on the Demo-
platform; I want all its
pledges kept, those which favor
the people as well as those
ed by the bankers and brokers.
If the refusal to serve them first
without some guaranty that the
people shall participate also, puts
me out of the Democratic party,
you will, my dear if you live
a few months longer, see the
greater part of that parity
walk out of
nothing behind but a smell of
brimstone and Wall street-

Harrington says that while they were

his pistol in taking it from his
pocket it got hitched his

TOBACCO
Mr. W- H. Caraway sold a load
of new primings at the Eastern
last Wednesday.
Mr. G. Venters brought us
as fine a sample of Eastern Pride
wrapper as we have ever seen.
Reports from all parts of the
country show that the tobacco
has improved largely from what
was expected.
Mr. L- B. Burney says he has
cured two barns of the nicest
primings that he has ever seen.
He will now begin upon stalk.
Mr. R. Forbes tells us
that it was thought the storm
that passed through his section
almost mined a part of the crop
of R. C Cannon and numbers of
others in that community but is
improving rapidly now.
If the samples of tobacco in the
Reflector show case is a
men of the Eastern crop, fancy
tip top prices may be expected
later when they are offered on the
sales floor. We can whoop em
up right on such tobacco.
Our local last week referring to
the fact that thermometers were
being sold at figures live times as
high as in January seems to have
created some confusion. The
facts are thermometers art-selling
now at the same price that they
have been selling all the while,
but the mercury in the
runs five times as high as it
did in January-
farmers were to employ this
on most of our lands that we
would make nothing but black
tobacco, but a plenty of that.
Our lands mostly are alluvial and
fertile and it would not do to put
this much manure in the drill it
might profitable to
plow in flush and in this way it
would not be long before we
would have some very rich land
and land that we could make
fine tobacco on every year. The
idea that poor land is the kind to
make fine tobacco on is rapidly
disappearing as our farmers learn
more about it.

thing should be closely watched,
take oat all the swell stems that
can be found and hang up
some where and grade and sell
as soon as possible. They will
damage other tobacco.
Owing to the present depressed
condition of finance all over the
country and the uneasiness and
lack of confidence attending such
a time, the and
leaf dealers of the Greenville
market deem it their duty to say
to their patrons that it is to their
interest to hold their tobacco a
short while before rushing it on
the market to sold at one half
its value. In a few days Con-
is expected to assemble in
an extraordinary session to de-
vise means by which the business
interest of the country can again
resume work on a sound and solid
basis.
We take occasion to say
that should anyone wish to
sell their tobacco the Greenville
market is prepared to pay market
prices for tobacco as compared
with any market this State or
Virginia the above is
because we believe it to be
for the best interest cf the farmer.
