The Democratic party is fulfill- its mission, slowly but surely, and not only the Democratic but honest people out- side of the Democratic party are beginning to ledge it. The party is stronger to-day than it was a month ago and it is gaining strength every day.

Here is a striking instance of misplaced sympathy. Twenty- five painters employed by a Chi- establishment went out on a sympathetic strike with the Pull- man strikers, and in less an hour their places were filled by twenty-fire Pullman painters. They are not now as sympathetic a i they were THE ENCOUNTER. Said Mrs. Diggs to Mrs. for the infamous traitors who are trying to stab tho party to death in our own ranks we would win this battle Said Mrs. Lease to Mrs Diggs for tho business of writing villainous letters and grams about Gov. a year ago by pretended leaders our reform movement would be in better condition Said Mrs. Diggs to Mrs. Lease are a liar; ya are a Mrs. Lease to Mrs. Diggs down. Mr. I have the platform and must not be mo- All this spirited charging and was at a list ratification meeting at at which were present those shining of Gubernatorial Bridles W site and The verbal on- counter between these two was conducted purely upon masculine lines- The however, was purely nine. Had Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs been Mr. Lease and Mr. Diggs, or had they acted as these two men would have acted, when Mrs. Diggs gave Mrs. Lease the lie, Mrs. Lease would have punch- ed Mrs. nose or Mrs- eye. But Mrs- did nothing of tho kind. She did not beat Mrs. Diggs with her parasol. She did not pull hair. She did not make faces at her. She did not even call her hateful thing, She took a distinctly feminine form of re- Right in the presence of her frenzied rival she invited the two Governors to dinner with her and before Mrs. Diggs could in- she had stolen the two cranks, rushed them into her car- and triumphantly drove off with them to dinner. What transpired at that dinner no one may ever know- Probably Mrs. Diggs would not like to be in- formed. From the purely feminine point of view Mrs. Lease's victory over Mrs. Diggs was an overwhelming one- A poisoned arrow would not have done the work more thoroughly. No form of revenge she could have devised would have struck deeper. The sight of those two old cranks flanked Mrs. Lease in wagon and merrily riding off to take bread and salt with her must have been gall and wormwood to Mrs Diggs, while the enjoyment of it and the knowledge that Mrs. Diggs looking at the spectacle soothing balm and inspiring to ruffled Mrs. Lease, look down on Mrs. Di after from lofty heights of scorn- She had the two Governors, Mrs. Diggs had nothing. All this would have been differ- had Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs been men. Taking forty Governors to dinner would have been no solace to either after the other had called him a liar. There would have been no faction a fight on the spot, or at least an invitation to pistols and coffee for two on a Kansas prairie. While there is much to said in favor of Mrs. Lease's treatment of the indignity put upon by Mrs. Diggs, yet tho nature of tho whole occurrence an encouraging omen of what may when the sex goes into politics.

This greatly angered the strikers, and several days ago they wont to the mine, and, as tho colored miners came out of the mine for dinner, shot them down like dogs, killing and wounding quite a number. Gov. who is a Democrat, at once called out the military to protect these colored miners, just as he ought to have done, and because of this protection offered their race by a Democratic gov- the colored people of Ala- it is said, will vote the Democratic ticket, at the election, and against the populists who seem to with the murderous And because the colored people of Alabama will vote the Demo the party that protects are being made to intimidate them, and tho most violent and brutal means are being used to accomplish that purpose. As one instance of many that have been published, we will mention that a colored man, named Jack recently made a Democratic a speech and organized a Demo- colored club. The night following his house was surround- ed by forty white caps who filled his house with bullets, down his doors, took him from his gave him two hundred lashes and made him leave the country. Numerous other and similar outrages are reported, and yet here in North Carolina the populists profess and pretend to be the colored man's best friends better friends indeed than the Republicans who freed him, or the Democrats who have ed his children and given him protection and good government Record.

A few days ago we had the pleasure of a short conversation with Miss Meta Chestnut, who has for five years been teaching a mission school in Indian and is now taking a short cation among her friends in this section. Speaking of the govern- establishing at largo ex- schools among the Indians for their education, she said the work was an utter failure- Driven back like they are and kept to themselves they can never b brought to the habits and toms of the white race- The only way Indians can over brought to full civilization and become good citizens is to scatter them over the country and absorb them by the whites- Kept together as they are, their tribal relations and most of their customs retained, they can never be oped and improved. A young In takes a course at the govern- schools and then comes east to finish his education. He adopts the white man's dress and customs and goes back to his people an educated man. Because of the changes he has undergone his people nave nothing to do with him and he must either abandon them and make his abode in other parts of the country, or he is left out society or congenial ates- If he remains amid such surroundings he soon becomes a worse man than in his former state. It is impossible to make n white man of an Indian in his present surroundings. B- H- Bunn has withdrawn from the race for in the Fourth Dis- This leaves the contest between Horn.

Awaking about o'clock one morning to go out fishing we heard one of the church bells on the island tolling as if for a funeral. Thinking it an unusual hour for a burial, upon going out we inquired of a native what it meant. He said there was a death on tho island during the night the bell was tolled to notify the people of it. They have a custom there to give information as soon as a death occurs by toll- the church bell. This death at night the bell was tolled at sunrise. Why is not this a good custom Brick Brick Delivered at on Rail Road on short notice. Quality and will be male satisfactory, S. B. of Brick and Kinston, N.

A hard wind blew her out the door one day and in the fall she re- injuries causing her death- Over at Portsmouth we visited the new life saving station that has just been built there by the Government, which is said to be one of the best that has been constructed on the Atlantic coast. Never having visited one before we are not prepared to speak of this in comparison with others, but what was learned about one us a fair idea of how often even money is It is a building of two-and- a half stories with observatory on top, and while on the outside it has no specially it is certainly beautiful on the interior, and is a model of convenience and comfort. The contractor, a man from New Jersey, showed us through the different apartments, and when asked as to the cost of the build- said he received for its con- it looks like half that amount would have been a good price for such a but that it would cost the government fully For instance one man was kept there at a salary of per mouth to oversee the contractor and his workmen and see if every- thing was done in accordance with specifications Then there was an inspector at a salary of per month who came around occasionally to see if the overseer was attending to his business, and so on through others higher in authority at still larger salaries. The interior of the building is finished in oiled white pine that was brought from Michigan and per thousand feet- We asked the contractor if North Carolina yellow pine would have just as good and many cheaper. He said yes, that he could have gotten a good native yellow pine ceiling at from to per thousand but the government required the use of white He told another in- showing how strictly to the letter all the work had to be done.

While it cannot be said that their work has yet been entirely successful, it has certainly had a good effect, and the belief is now general that the renewal of the tariff confer- will result in an agreement that can accepted by the Dem- of both the House and the Senate and by President Cleve- land without loss of dignity or prestige on the part of either- Now that the events of the past week can be calmly considered seems to be reason for the opinion held by many able Demo- that personal prejudice was allowed to enter into much of the talk that has been indulged in, and that some people have been far more intent upon than upon the good of the country or the welfare of the Dem- party- However, as the policy of those Democrats who are now trying to bring about action by the party in Congress is to let bygones be by- the least said about recent party happenings the better- Too much, much too much, has ready been said, both in Congress and in Democratic newspapers- The principle object of every Dem- should now be to to- pass the tariff bill and elect a majority of the next House.

Tobacco it is true, was somewhat spotted but it was vigorous and every farmer looked for a splendid crop of wrappers. Up to this time the rain fall in the Eastern part of the State had been very light During the month of May the rain fall was only in June in was only and from July 1st to in has been nearly four inches and greater part of this fell from the 19th to the 22nd.

The second day we had thought of going to Greene Co., but the heavy rains had washed up the bridges so we changed our course and went over to the Barrett's Grove picnic. In proportion to the number of men who went to the picnic to combine business with pleasure, the tobacco men nearly doubled any other- Wilson, Rocky Mount and Greenville were all there in big picnic grounds lying between the three markets. After dinner we rode down to Mr. W. R. Home's and when we had walked over his tobacco, which is the best crop that ho has had since 1890, he took us to the house where a feast awaited us in the melon line.
