President Cleveland last week
nominated Mr. Melville W.

a surprise to everybody, but,
like all of Cleveland's surprises,
it is a most selection.

is a man of fine ability, a sound
Democrat and will doubtless be
confirmed by the Senate. He is
well known in Washington,
where his services have often
been sought by the Democrats,
and his counsels listened to. He
is a warm personal friend of the
President. Mr. Fuller is about
years old and bids fair to live
to a ripe old age. While always
a leader in the ranks of his party
he has never held any political
office, having several times re-
fused nominations. President
Cleveland has him two or

The Democrats of the State

We want every county,
township and precinct in the
State to be thoroughly worked
and an effective and earnest com-

some time before the election but
not too soon for the Democrats to
lie making preparation for the
work before them. The State
is safely Democratic but we want
to see the biggest majority rolled
up in North Carolina this year
ever known in her history. This
can be done if the Democracy
will only be true to itself and
work. Let us all be ready, then
to do our full duty.

issue a card from Rev. G. W.
Sanderlin, of in which

Democratic nomination for
The card is an honest,
straightforward declaration of
the wishes of Mr. Sanderlin, and
has nothing in it than can be ob-
to by any one. There is
no man in North Carolina who is
better qualified to discharge the
duties of the office of Auditor
more acceptably and creditably
than Mr. Sanderlin, and no one
could be nominated who, in the
opinion of the Reflector, would
add more to the strength of the
Democratic State ticket. A
man of learning, a Christian and
one of the best practical farmers
in Eastern Carolina, Mr. Sander-
is one whom we would delight
to honor. We would be indeed
glad to see him the
which he desires and
hope the convention will
his claims. And there are
a host of the friends of Mr. San-
all over the State who will
delight to vote for him.

Editor Martin, of the New Miss-
was returning from his
home to his office when he was
meet on the street by Gen.
Adams, Post Master of Jackson,
who began conversing with him.
After a few words had been
ken Gen. Adams drew a pistol
and began firing at Martin. The
first shot knocked off Martin's
hat and the second brought him
to his knees. In this position
Martin succeeded with some
difficulty in drawing his revolver
and returned fire. Adams fired
a third shot which caused Mar-
tin to fall on his back, where he
remained a few seconds, but
lying for a brief space, he raised
on his elbow and sent a bullet
through the heart of his
killing him instantly. Mar-
tin expired in a very few min-

being shot. Both men occupied

Johnson's Mills, N. C, May
Editor Eastern
If you will allow me space I
would, like to say a few words
concerning our present Congress-
man and the man who I hope will
be the G. Skinner.
The first thing that I want to say
for Mr. S is that he made us the
best representative we had
since the war and to throw
away and take up Maj. Latham
after he bad won what Maj.
Latham bad lost, the basest
; it was a sin for which
we can atone only by running him
again this year. So far as I
know Maj. Latham has done us no
harm but that does not satisfy us.
We want a man who will do
good, who will notice petitions
and answer letters concerning
mail routes Ac The people of
this place sent a petition, and a
Setter of from the
P. M. At to have the
mail route extended to this place
from Bell's Ferry. That would
give us a daily mail from Kin a top,
which we need very much. We
have not heard from the petition
and I fear we will not. Now I
would like to exhort all democrats
to attend the primary meetings
and send Skinner men to Green-
ville and to the Congressional con-
to nominate a man at
whose feet we need not Kneel like
sycophantic and degraded slaves
in order to get our business in

Editor Eastern Reflector,
Dear Sir convention to
appoint delegates to the State and
congressional conventions is draw-
near and the way you
newspaper men are talking the
contest for the nomination in this
district will be between Latham
and Skinner again. Now I have
the kindest feelings for both of
these gentlemen, and will cheer-
fully vote for of them pro-
begets the nomination of
the democratic But it
seems to me that the contest has
been running so high and so long
between them, that, for the sake
of harmony in party, It would
be best to drop them both and
take a new man. They have each
had Io terms in Congress and
can retire in honor both to them-
selves and the party. I therefore
suggest to the people of the
that they consider this matter
in their primary meetings next
if they concur with
me in thinking that a new man
will be stronger before the people
than either of them, I hope they
will frankly say so.
I will suggest the name of
Mr James E. Moore, Martin,
a very suitable man tor the
friends of Latham and Skinner to
unite upon. However, any good
and true democrat will
me.
A Card.
For the News and Observer.
It has been, and is, the desire
and purpose of the undersigned to
maintain a modest and decorous
attitude in the matter of the
for State Auditor by the
Democratic State convention
meets on the 30th of May, prefer-
ring that his friends should
sent and urge his claims rather
than in a public manner to
do so himself. The publication
of this card, he hopes, not be
regarded as in contravention of
such a desire and purpose, in view
of the following explanations re-
submitted. For the
past two months inquiries have
come in from all sections of the
State as to whether the writer de-
sires the nomination for Auditor,
and these inquiries have
been accompanied with the

nomination. Please let us hear from
During these same two
months I have been kept closely
confined, and my attention entire-
absorbed, by the and,
finally, fatal illness of a member
of my family. It has been and is.
therefore, utterly impossible for
me to write to my singly
and make known to them my de-
sires and wishes in the premises.
Hence the necessity for card,
which, as I am an Editor
and so, in some sort and
measure, entitled to the courtesy
which obtains among the
fraternity, I ask the publication
of at bands of Democratic
Press throughout the State.
Twelve years ago I was laid
aside by overwork from the active
dunes of the ministry, with a per-
embargo against engaging
again in study or minis-
work, except in an incidental
way, but with the full assurance
by eminent advisers that I could
very well engage in, and was fully
competent for, any other sort of
work. This withdrawal from the
active ministry was, and is, fully
understood by my brethren, who
make it no cause for censure but
rather take pleasure in honoring
me presents,
as I am still ever glad to serve
them in any and every way I can.
This explanation is made for those
who are disposed to adopt the sen-
of the old proverb that
shoemaker should stick to
bis and who look with co
favor, as I do not, upon a
secularized ministry The ex-
ti made, too, because
the situation not being under-
stood, this objection
was used effectively last year to
defeat me an office which I
much desired and which would
have been peculiarly congenial to
my tastes and training. After an
enforced withdrawal from the ac-
ministry the manner stated
I chose to be a farmer and that
has been, and is, my only and
elusive occupation to date. My
name will be presented, with my
consent, as a candidate for
State Auditor at Democratic
State Convention which meets
this month. I feel that I am
competent for the office and
that it will be generally

at my competency I would

It is true that some fools and some
knaves edit country journals, but
as a rule these
are hard-working, shrewd, fair
minded and influential men- They
come nearer representing public
than their city
because they are closer to the
people. The metropolitan press
owes its distinction chiefly to men
who have been trained in country-
newspaper offices. In fact, few
men properly equipped to even
attempt to represent sentiment in
this who have not lived
in the country.

Perhaps the most curious
battalion in any army is the Nor-
corps of skaters These
corps are composed of picked men
armed with rifles, which they use
with great precision. The skates
used ate admirably adapted for
traveling over rough and broken
ice and frozen snow, being six inch-
es broad and between nine and ten
inches long The soldiers can be
upon the or over
the snow fields of the mountains
with a rapidity equal to that of the
best trained cavalry. As an in-
stance of the speed they attain it
is stated that a messenger attached
to the corps has accomplished
miles eighteen hours and a half
over a mountainous country.
Horses are said to be more
at this season of the year than
at any other time, perhaps on ac-
count of and are there
