Two instances of this have recently come to our notice. The chairman of the Populist Executive committee Beaufort county has called a to meet in Washington, N- C-, on September 4th, the purpose of nominating ticket From this it would rally inferred that the Populists in that vicinity are dissatisfied with tho present Populist State ticket and propose to put another in the field. This will give them two State tickets and for the members of that party to decide will be whether will support the Beaufort State ticket or the one recently nominated in Raleigh. Another very amusing instance of simplicity occurs in a circular letter just issued, a notice of a joint debate be Hon. C- M- Cook Capt. Buck at Smithfield on August 28th- The letter refers to Capt. Cooke as tho Con from this and is signed by Mr. Creech, chair- man of the Populist Executive Committee. Though this is a prophecy which will be proved to be November, by a handsome majority, yet it is just a little amusing to see a Populist, who usually claims the whole earth, ad mitt it thus early in the campaign, and he chairman of an executive committee at that. But he is perhaps level headed than he is getting credit for and is only acting the scriptural injunction that an hon- est confession is good for tho soul. At any rate Mr. Cooke will be the next Congressman from this News and Observer. naught but to the use of Dr. R.

By prompt payments a small sum of money be made to cancel a large sum of indebted- A ten dollar bill, probably often pays debts amounting to a hundred dollars of a week. Tho most excuse heard for the non-payment of bills by persons who are asked to make payment is that they can collect no money. In most this excuse is an honest one, and a little reflection will convince any man of the wisdom of thus keeping money The Quickest on Record After MI. of the tariff previous e same task Will Electricity Dethrone Steam There is no telling what may yet accomplish, and it is therefore interesting to fol- low its developments in other countries. The Albany Argus predicts that within six years the death- knell of steam as a motive power will be sounded. It believes that the storage battery problem is about solved, and this leads The New York Press to say seen tho sudden development of the idea of generating electricity cheaply by water power and it long economically by wire. Various experiments in Europe in the last half dozen years, notably the transmission of electrical power from to Rome, have proved the feasibility of the idea. The harnessing of the tails for this purpose has attracted extraordinary and rightly, for it marked the begin- of tho new era of electricity, but nearly a dozen other can companies have quietly be- gun work in the same direction in the past twelve months, and the total amount of horse-power they are promising to supply in the form of electricity as soon as there is a demand for it is rough- estimated at That figure takes on amazing when one stops to reflect that the total amount of steam horse power in use in the United States at the present time is be- tween and It has been proved that the electricity be generated by water power and transmitted to a distance of at least eighteen miles cheaper than steam can be pro on the spot The are inclined to think the loss of electricity in transmission to a distance of, perhaps, of miles can be sufficiently reduced by processes now ready for use to keep the cost below of steam. This notwithstanding all impressions t- the contrary, true hug really dispose more quickly th ti Congress that had to perform. Morrill was reported to the House March passed that body tho following but did not pass the Senate until February 1861, and was finally approved March 1861, just before tho expiration of the Congress that enacted it- The tariff of 1883 was reported in the House in March, 1882, and passed in June, but remained in the Senate till February 1883, and was approved March 3rd, the day before the expiration of that Congress. The tariff was not so but it was longer before the committee on ways and moans, not being re- ported in the House till April 1890. It passed the Senate in September, and was approved October 1890, a month before the of a new Congress- The Wilson tariff was reported in the House December 1893 ; passed that body February 1st, passed the Senate July and passed finally August 1894. The time that elapsed between the of this Congress and the enactment of the tariff is less than in former Times. intemperate.

Fortunate in the first place in the perfect-harmony that has from tho mountains to the seashore, and the disposition on the part of all candidates to sub- ordinate personal ambition for the interest of the party. Not a single has adjourned without the nominee having been- assured in the most positive terms that no man in tho district should do more for his election than the defeated candidates. We nothing in saying that there never was field convention in the State, where there yore as many good and dates as there were last week at Lumberton. and yet every man comes out without even the slightest suspicion of any unfair many having been used, and the body adjourned without any one having made an enemy- This harmony and go feeling can not help resulting in an increased vote for each nominee. But we started out to write specially about how fortunate the State has been the selection of men that have lived and are living with characters that are unsullied by oven tho scent of scandal- In the first district Hon. W. A- B. Branch is the standard bearer- He is known to all men as a man of sterling character, free from bad habits. He has been faithful to every trust. He has served his district for four years and we defy any man to show that he has been derelict in a single duty. He has always been in his place and voted right every time. In the second district Hon. Fred A. Woodard has been re- nominated. He has served his district with marked ability and has made a record of which any man might be proud of his first service Hie National Con- In character stands tho poor of any man, and, if re- elected will heard from in our legislative halls. The third district bag placed its banner in the hands of a new man, Hon. Jno. G- Shaw- He is a lawyer of marked ability, and a man of sterling worth with a char- by evil. C. M. has been chosen to lead the to in tho fourth district, and ho will do it, too. There is no man in North Carolina with a clearer record and more admirable character than Charlie Cooke, of Franklin county. He has held many positions of honor trust tho State has never been found wanting- any Ho is a due type of an honorable, noble, en- every tho State wants to see him elected. The fifth t made up its mind that it did not intend to represented any longer by a Re- only one from the State. To accomplish this only thing was necessary that was to get Hon. A- W. Graham, of Oxford, to accent The convention asked him to do so, and he consented. This gives us a solid delegation, for Graham will certainly hash. For unblemished character, popular- and ability Gus Graham stands in tho He comes of a noble feral- and has freely inherited their virtues.

Hon. W. T Crawford is still to represent the district- He won an enviable reputation in the present Congress He is quiet and but his ability is recognized as equal to that of any for his years. Not less can be said reference to his character than has been said of the pro- eight. Taken all all don't be- there is a State in this Union that has more worthy nominees for the lower House of Congress than has North Caro- If elected, and they should be, the State's be safe in their hands.

If there is a man in North Carolina who will not for these men he does not love purity of character public men- Amis, of Oxford, has come out as an independent candidate for Congress in the filth district. This makes a fight in that district and Graham will wipe up the field. Col. J. M- Winstead, of tho Piedmont Bank at Greens- met a horrible death in Richmond last Thursday morn- He was seen to fall off the tower of the city hall, a distance of feet, his body impaling on some iron pickets. he jumped off with suicidal intent or fell off accidentally will never be known positively, though several explanations have been advanced on both shies. The cotton grower is in a lemma to know just how to get his staple ready for market this season. The New England millers tell him not to put sugar sacks on it but cover his bales with jute bagging only. Then comes the New York Cotton Exchange and tells him sugar sacks just as good as anything use them if he wants to. He is advised by writers in agricultural papers that great loss arises from of the bale exposed, that it should be put small bales, closely with an increased number of ties. On tho of this the Liverpool Cotton sends him word to make less than pound bales use no side strips and put on as little bagging as possible- With so much advice tho farmer may go on id the old way bale his cotton to suit himself. A pretty spectacle s from Wake county. The held their- convention last Saturday. was n caucus with a from he in which it agreed that the latter should name the dates for Senator, member of tho Legislature half of the officers. Some cans opposed this, saying it was simply done to get office. A called on S. Otho Wilson, the Populist and in answer to a direct question if the lists would support a Wilson said they would carry out their agreement and support any man put by the cans, provided the Republicans kept their part of the agreement. Thereupon the Republicans James H. Young, colored, as one of the Legislative dates Wilson has pledged the Populists to vote for him. If that is the order of fusion, watch out for tho kind of ticket they put up in Pitt county. OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL. Income Tax. News and Observer Stealing our Stuff. Other Points of Interest.

The foot came close enough to Charlie's face to take him on the ear, and that appendage was split open from the tip clear to the head. Dr. Bagwell took Charlie in hand and attended to his wound.

C, LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS Mi. Forbes Kennedy is marking tickets for Greenville- Good breaks at the warehouses last week and satisfactory prices were obtained. Messrs- Reagan, of Danville, Va-, of Wilson, were among the visitors to our market last week. The auctioneer of the Eastern, Old Man Bill Lipscombe, the say, is a dandy. Well, he does have lots of fun on sale. Mr. J. L. Wiggins, of Rocky Mount, has decided to locate here. He and Mr. 15- E- Parham will operate together. They will make a strong team. Hon. Goo. F. Parrot, of Lenoir county was on sale last Tuesday. He brought a lot of tobacco and sold with the Eastern. It is needless to say he wont home pleased. Who says work don't pay. Last Thursday's freight brought large consignments of tobacco from both ways over the railroad, also several more packages from South Carolina. Mr. Bailey, from Va., came down last Wednesday to accept position as auctioneer with Messrs. Forbes To him as to all strangers who come in the interest of the trade we extend a hearty welcome- Messrs- J. N. Gorman Co. having their factory on the inside preparatory to hand- ling fine grades of tobacco this fall. There is no cleverer man on tho market than Patrick Henry, their buyer here- Thad R. Hodges, Esq., of Washington was up with a fine load of tobacco last week. He always makes the Eastern headquarters in Greenville. He has a fine crop of tobacco, consequently always gets good prices. The new leaf factory for the American Tobacco Company is nearing completion- Mr- the buyer hopes to move in nest week. Mr. Morgan is ready buying liberally, but when he gets in his now building we expect him to bull the market. All grades of tobacco are sell- well, with of tips, which are low, but all tobaccos are selling well up.

Down to the early part of tho present century it was usual to a child after the saint on whose day he happened to be born. A writer to Notes and Queries in 1853 states that he had recently baptized a child by tho name of Benjamin Simon Jude. On his expressing some prise at this somewhat singular con- junction of names, he was informed that the birth had taken place on the festival of Simon and Jude. and that it was always considered very unlucky to take the day from a child. The custom of naming children after any particular saint has fallen into general disuse, except in those countries the population is almost entirely of Roman Catholics. The giving of a name in baptism Is really no essential part of the rite, but is merely a custom derived apparently from the Jews, which through long practice has become an Important element in Hie ceremony. Many instances might be fur- of children who have received wrong names. The registers in church contain the following January Charles, of John and Betty This child ought to have been christened Charlotte, but owing to mistake of his sponsors was wrong July William, daughter William and Sarah N. was intended that this child, being a girl, should have- been Maria, but through a mistake t godfather it -was Wit- First Known by tho of and Young of I lie Over in Washington says the Ashland Citizen, near line of Mercer, reigns a being, whether man or beast, mystifying all the, neighborhood. For months the housewives have missed their chickens, eggs, milk, meat from meat houses and half grown pigs and young lambs. At first all forts and schemes to catch the guilty one proved of no avail. White cap bands were organized, and several suspected whipped or shot. Some time ago Jack told what he saw from his spring house, and as the story got circulated the children and women were seared nearly out of their The male portion of the neighborhood, however, put no credence in the story, but on the quiet all set watch for the being, and. on a recent Wednesday morning Joseph arose before daybreak and went to the spring house, a hundred yards distant from his dwelling. His wife and nearly grown son, be- coming alarmed at his continued ab- went in search of him, and found him at the door of the spring house in a faint. They restored him to consciousness, and he told them he had seen Jack A man-beast, and that he ran out of the spring house as he opened the door; that he had long while hair hanging down from his head and face that was as His legs were covered with hair, and the only article of clothing he wore was a piece of sheepskin over the lover portion of his body, reach- nearly to his knees. He said a light came from his eyes and mouth similar to fire. When it noised around that had seen man- beast, sober-headed men began to think and set a plan to catch the monster, be it what it may. In tho neighborhood near the mouth of Deep creek is a cave of considerable proportions, and the natural con- of nearly all was that there would be the place to find their game. In the meantime they, as a neigh- were to keep watch for sights of their man-beast, and early the next Sunday morning Hos- ton and his sons and James saw the object of their watch walking in gallop, half run for their barn. Notwithstanding the men were armed, they were badly frightened, and after they saw the object enter the barn all three were afraid to en- to try and capture the terrible- looking creature. They kept hid, and were not seen by the monster, standing in a half- erect position nearly six and one-half feet. His feet were like the claws of a bear or brute, with long claws. His hands also were like those of a feline more than a human. The men had only to wait a few minutes. In fact, before they could come to some action or gel over their fright the creature came out of the barn in the same halt-gallop-run and made for the creek. this time the men started in safe pursuit. Tom Boston foolishly shot at it, and the creature half turned and glanced at them, in- creasing his gait, but never dropping the three large chickens he. hold in his claws. The Bostons managed to keep in sight of the creature for only He or so, vowing that he ran swifter than a horse. Just as got to the top of a hill about five hundred yards off they were re- warded by seeing the brute-man turn with a wild, scared look, glance around and enter the cave. . The men went to the mouth of the cave, but would not enter. They saw feathers, bones, etc, scattered around the entrance. They returned home and reported what they had seen, and Tuesday they, with a half dozen other men, went to the cave and made a partial survey, pro in several hundred yards. They saw fresh indications of bones, feathers, pieces of calf and sheep skin being strewn around. The passages grew smaller and dwindled, and no one of tho party would enter alone, though one, Joe Smith, went thirty or forty feet, when the most unearthly yell that men ever heard greeted them. They were good, stout men, but they cowed before that yell, and beat a hasty retreat to the main passage of the cavern, but after consultation they agreed it would not do to kill or be killed, and they gave up their search for another time. The men brought two bludgeons from the cave with them that showed considerable handling and resembled an Indian war club. Another party will make a survey of the cave in an effort to capture the monster. In the meantime women and children are staying Indoors in that neighbor- hood. The men built a great heap of brush and wood, and tried to smoke lain out, but could not. CREEPING RAILS. Attempted Explanation of a Cu- Railroad Phenomenon, BOOK FREE.

On roads having grades which change abruptly from ascending to descending grades over the crown of a hill it often happens that the rails up grade on both sides of the crown, and this is especially true where long, heavy trains run, as the heavy pulling of the en- after has passed the crown going down grade causes it to drive the rail upward on the one side, while the rear of the train has some- what the tendency to pull or at least to hold the rail on the opposite ascent. One rail often faster than tho other; this is not confined to the east rail or the west rail, the north or the south.
