The strongest praise for Harrison
and Morton comes from the
that know them best. This
is true of no other ticket in the field.
There has been as said,
perhaps, in commendation of
that ticket, both at home and
abroad as of any that has ever
been placed before the American
people. It was dull from the
beginning, it has created no en-
anywhere except
among the imported Chinese,
and the Carolinian knows it. It
was put up to be defeated, and
it will receive that for which it
was intended. North Carolina

no effort is made to procure it.
Other towns we might mention are

displayed or other towns may out-

it was decided to hold a

State and county tickets, and
that all clubs and all Democrats of
the county be invited to participate.
Tho Club was addressed by J. D.
Murphy and F. G- James, both of
whom made splendid speeches.
Mr. Murphy dwelt upon the
protection and summed up
the difference between the two par
ties by declaring the Republicans a
party of high tariff and high taxes,
while Democrats were a party of
low tariff and low taxes. He touched
upon county government, drawing
the issue on the color line,
white men, intelligence and good
government on one side,
and public plunder upon
the other, calling upon Ins hearers
to choose between them. Mr.
was in his usual eloquent and
easy manner. He paid a masterly
to President Cleveland

great reform instituted during his
few years in office. He also refer-

It appears that Mr. Kennedy was

Mr. Brown, who was engaged as an

on the merits of the case made some
allusion to Mr. Kennedy, who inter-
him and asked that he con
fine himself to the evidence.
Whereupon raised n hick-

expected. The court sent Mr.

Literature. The teachers in charge of
these schools are specially qualified by
their preparation and experience for tho
work committed to their care.
The Department Is under the

are well known to patrons as most
popular and successful.

The location of the Institute was
in preference to several others, in
some respects more eligible, on account
of its celebrity for health ; and the history
of the school for forty s fully sustains
this reputation. Its health record is not
surpassed by any institution in the State.

Nearly all tho shoes manufactured at
the present time are constructed by ma-
As in other mechanical
tries, tho method, by which each
workman put together a boot from the
cutting of the sole to the stitching of tho
upper leather, has been abandoned for
the system that gives to every person
employed some small part only of tho
task to performed. it will
not be uninteresting to review in detail
the process by which a pair of men's foot
coverings is evolved from tho original
leather. The material employed may
calfskin, buff leather, grain or split.
Buff leather is ordinary with
the rough ground off it by a buff-
wheel. Frequently the hide is sliced
with a knife into two layers, the outer
one next to tho hair being called tho
grain and the inner the split. The
latter make.-, an excellent quality of
leather, while the former has the great
advantage cf waterproof. In any
case, however, the first operation
is the tanning. This is simple, and
is performed by suspending tho skins,
just as from the animal, in
vats filled with hot liquor or
hemlock barb. For eight days or less
they arc left to soak, and then are taken
out, washed and dried in the sun, or
under cover with revolving fans. Finally
t hey arc carefully ordinary
use at any rate. In this condition they
brought to tho factory, in big bun-
and now the process begins.
First, the operator in the cutting room
places the thickest of
chopped into long stripes, of a
width just equal to the length of the shoo
a beneath a steel die,
which descends at brief intervals and
cuts out a series of perfect soles, as the
material is shoved along by the practiced
hand of the workman. Another man
chops out in manner the various
pieces for tho using for this
purpose dies that manipulated by
hand, with mallets to strike them with.
But all really fine goods cut out by
hand entirely, tho expert employing
brass edged patterns around which ho
runs a keen knife blade. The upper is
almost invariably in three pieces instead
of six, as formerly. In this scrappy
condition the upper of the contemplated
boot is sent to the stitching department,
where it is put together by girls with
sewing machines of massive
especially adapted to this sort of
work. The making of buttons and but-
lining, etc., all comes under
the head of stitching. This performed,
the shoe that is to ho goes to the laster,
whose part of tho task is perhaps more
important to its success than that allotted
lo any one else.
In big factories the lasting is done bra
of men. No. takes the wooden
last and tacks the insole upon it, passing
it over thereupon to No. who stretches
the upper over last and tacks it so as
to hold. No. lays the outer solo over
the insole, and secures it with lasting
tacks. The shoe, thus fixed temporarily
in shape, is next sewn together by ma-
chine, and the solo is finally attached
with pegs or screws. It is a wonderful
thing to see the mechanical contrivance
devised for this purpose go over the bot-
tom of a boot with an endless
in its jaws, putting metallic pegs
wherever needed, never too long and
never too short, until one shoe is com-
and thrown for another, the
whole operation being gone through from
beginning to end automatically. Now
the job is taken up by the heeler, who
affixes the heel already prepared by a
single of a machine. hammer,
while a knife is whirled around almost
simultaneously and cuts the new attach-
cleanly to tho proper shape. Tills
done, the product, now nearly finished,
goes to a person who blacks tho edges of
the sole and heel. The final touches
added by an artist who burnishes these
same parts with an oscillating wheel, and
the shoes ready for market.
Such is the process by which nearly all
the shoes in Now England
turned out. It is a curious, fact, by the
way, that the slices made for selling in
this part of the country have much lower
insteps t those sent to the south;
here possessing feet but slightly

it is said. Tho manufacturer is
in fact, to produce a boot of
special shape for every small section of
the country supplied by him, and it is
quite the usual thing to send around
agents to tho retailers to the
measurements of the local pedal
ties in such and such a township, from
which a general average is figured out
