The nominations for Attorney Gen-
eral, Judges and Klectors at large were
left open to be filled by the Executive
Committee
After the nomiaation for Governor
was: made Col. Skinner fought Mr-
Butler at eyery step, and dramatically
denounced Dockery as a Republican
Skinner said oif yor are going to fuse
with Republicans for GodTs sake fuse
with the machine and not with the tail
end.�
Thontpson was placed in nomination
foc Governor and Lieuterant Governor
in order, contrary to ButlerTs original
slate, but the only iastende in whieh
the slate was broken was the sacrifice
of Ayer tor Thompson. |
Butler thoroughly dominated the
convention as its director. Skinner,
| Thompson, Whitaker, Kitchen and oth-
ers fought against heavy odds, for when
Butler announced his policy it went. .
The convention adjourned this morr-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Bryan-Sewall notification meet-
ing in New York, on Wednestay, was
the greatest political g gathering that city
has ever known. | Both. gentlemen for-
mally accepted the nominations téender-
ed them. Mr. Bryay apoke to the vast
multitude for an hour an:forty minutes,
giving the best and clearest . views on
the questions confronting the American
people that have yet been produced.
It was a great speech, and should be
read by every one interested in gocd
government. ~To-morrow the REFLEC-
Tor will begin publishing the speech,
giving it in instalments, and wi l contin-
t
ue it until the entire speech is printed.
The Democratic State Executive
Committee submitted to the Populists a
proposition to divide the electors. They
~|jn return submitted a proposition to
divide all the offices even down in the
counties. This the Democrats declined,
in consequence the Populists did not
accept the propositim t» divide the
electors.» You cau dt once see the ine
consistency ct Mr. Butler who is the
Populist party of North Carolina. He
{uvored endorsing Mr. Bryan and
nominating ~Thos. Watson for Vice
President and the Democrats to. make
sure that Mr. Bryan might carry the

iRegatys too much in your pocket

Philosophizing about, how a wan got

Pray much betora, you talk much
about how big a sinner you used to be:

IT CAME TO-DAY.
About.75,000 Pounds on the Market,
~This was the best day of the tobacco
market since the new season opened.
There was a hustle and stir around the
warehouses quite early in the morning
and loads of tobacco kept rolling in un-
til there was close to 75,000 lbs. on the
warehouse ffoors. The umount was
nearer equally divided between the four
houses than on any sale we have nc-
ticed.
The Greenville had first sale and
was alitite in the lead on quantity, but
the Star was a mighty close second,
with the Planters ad Eastern pretiy
near up. There was another upward
movement in prices, giving a still better
feeling to the market. There was
eeme spirited bidding between the buy-
ers~and they made the sales lively.

cre Joy, |
ITve a flower all my own ;
A budding rose"a darling boy
Who drives the cattle home.
Hark ! his pattering foot I hear
Adown the dewy lane ;-
His voice echoing soft and clear
Across the golden grain.
His face is covered oTer with tan,
Hid Tneath a broad rimTd hat ;
And sunburnt are his little haads"
But heTs mine for aT that!
Around his angel brow I see
Ringlets of golden hair ;
And in his love-lit eyes for me
There shines a heaven fair!
HeTs left his little rock-a-by
And drum and tooting hora ;
And all his playthings standiug nigh,
His trundle-bed"forlorn !
Methinks I hear them mourn and sigh
For the jewels of his joy ;
Out of lovely silence"a cry
For the little barefoot boy !
My precious one, how you £ love,
In your beauty T scan
(No angel is fairer above )
_ The image of the coming mar!
T'll rue the day. O holy joy
When from me you shall roam,
And you, too, have a little boy

� WALL-STREET DOGMATISM.

The New York Tribune says that
everybody knows that disuster of some
sortand extent would come from the
election of Bryan. ~This is a tair
specimen of Wall.street dogmatism.
No one knows anything of the kind.
We are free toadmit that there are ia
the ranks of the goldites thousands of
men of great ability, who, after giving
the monetary problem earnest and
conscientiuus consideration, are fully
_ eonvinced that the election of Bryan

However, with, thinking men, decla-
rations such as that of the Tribune do
the silver cause more good than barm.
They are evidence of an abandonment
of the boasted ocampaign cf education,�
and a resort of a bugaboo policy. They
|are a recognitiun of the fact that the
silver wave is gaining in strength and
in volume, and the logical sequence of
this recognition is to inipart im etus
to the tendency ot business interests to
adjust themselves to the probabilities of
a silver basis. Just in proportion as
the business-men of the country become
convinced that the chances are favorable
to the election of Bryan and the triumph
of free silver will they, irrespective of
their views on the currency question,
strive to place themselves in position
not only to meet, but to profit by the
conditions following such results, thus

SpurgeonTs Proverbs.
BY REV. C. H. SPURGEON.
Idle men tempt the devil to temp
them. He who plays when he should
work, has an evil spirit to be his play-
mate. He who neither works nor plays
is a workshop for Satan. If the devil
catch a man idle he will set him to
work, find him tools, and before long
pay him wages.
Is not this where
comes from that fills our towns and vil-
luges with misery? Idleness is the
|key of beggary and the rout of all evil.
Fellows have two stomachs .for eating
and drinking, when they have no stom-
ach for work. ~Their mouth swallows
up in idle hours that money which
should put clothes on the childrenTs
backs, and bread on the cottage table.

verse, drowsiness shall clothe a man

THE FU-
How Witches Were Manufactured and Evi)
Kye Influences Killed.
Tt is ourious that in the isle of
Man the term butch or witch is.ap-
plied to either sex. Asa proof of
this we may mention that a ~writer
in The MonaTs Herald newspaper of
Jan. 24, 1844, in commenting on a
famous witchcraft case which had
recently been adjudicated upon, re-
marked, ~~According to popular dve-
lief, if the witch swears he has not
done it and does not wish to do it,
he cannot witch again.TT Another
curious and novel ideais that it was
supposed tobe possible to manufac.
tuo a witch. The method of doing
so was given to our informant by an
j!11 man about the year 1875, who
g2id that he had it from the victim
herself, then an old woman. An old
woman who had practiced witch.
craft and charms during a great
part of her fifo bad grown very fee-
ble, and so, being wishful to endow
her daughter wifi; cimilar powers,
made her go through the following
performance:
~o~A white sheet was laid on the
floor, and beside it was placed a tub
of clean water. The girl was made
to undress and go into the water,
and after thoroughly washing her-
self to get out and wrap hersolf in
the sheet. While she stood in the
sheet she had to repeat after hor
mother a number of words, the ex-
act nature of which, as she was in
an abject state of terror, she had
forgotten, only remembering that
their general purport was that she
swere to give up all belief in the Al.
mightyTs power and to trust in that
of the ovii one instcad. The old
woman died soon afterward, but the
girl made noattem pt to practice the
attributes with which she was sup.
posed to have been endowed.�T
If cattle were supposed to be be.
witched, it was customary, till quite
recently, to burn one of the herd,
usually a calf, both for the protec-
tion of the others and to detect the
bewitcher, for it was supposed that
while the animal was being burned

Abstracted Clerk Who Got Into Trouble
with an Inquisitive Guest.
An absent-minded clerk and an in-
quisitive guest managed to get tangled
up on an argument at the Waldorf that
almost led to blows. Both were perfect-
ly innocent in the matter, but enough
ill-feeling Was engendered to justify
un international dispute. The Waldorf
has on the first floor a reception-room
and parlor. This is utilized for all
kinds of entertainments. One day an
art sale is held there, the next a dis-
play of fancy work, perhaps a musical
the next, and so on. The other after-
noon a musical programme was given
in this reception room, and that was
what caused all the trouble. The door
~eading to the room, which is usually
open to all, was watched by an attend-
ant who demanded ecards. This aroused
the curiosity of the inquisitive guest,
ile walked around the corridor eying
the room from every possible point of
vantage, and then walked up to the
desk and sajd to the clerk, who was
writing in a huge ledger:
oWhat is going on in there?�
The clerk jabbed his pen in the ink-
stand and replied tersely: oI guess it
is a bird recital.�
Then he continued his writing with
never a quiver of an eyelash. The in-
quisitive guest contracted hiseyebrows.
then he looked for a lurking gleam of
amusement in the clerkTs eye, but
found none, Then he turned and wan-
dered into the cafe to think over the
problem. After due deliberation he
came to the conelusion that it was not
ay all straight and he came back. He
expected to see the clerk give some
sign of amusement when he = ap-
behind the onyx was immersed more
deeply than ever in the big book. The
guest repeated his question, saying:
oWhat did you say was going on in
that rocm°�
put muttered something about ~four
and seven make eleven and"� adding
hurriedly:
o{ donTt know, but I think itTs a piano
talk.�
The mystery was deepening, and the
inquisitive man saw no way out of the
difficulty except to go and'see for him-
self. He could detect nothing in the
clerk's manner that warranted bim in
pelieving that he was being made the
butt of a jo! e. but he was confident that
it was not all straight. So he walked
up and pu:chased a ticket and went in-
side. In a few moments he caine out
and he hxd a look of set determination
upon his face. He walked up to the
desk, and in a rough voice he de-
manded:
oWhat did you say was going on in
that room ?�T.
The clerk was startled at the gruff
tone and looked up from his book. He
saw that the man was angry clear
through, and he wondered at his per-
sistency in asking about the entertain- |
iment. He said, quietly:
of said I was not sure, but [ thought
it was a piano recital.�

said the man. ~And then you said it
was a piano talk, and now you say itTs
a piano recital. ITm not in the habit
of being guyed, and you knew what it
was all the time, for you told me
straight enough when you knew I had
found out. I paid two dollars just to
find out what was going on in that
ure altogether too recent for this place.

gone on talking indefinitely, had not
the clerk apologized in the most peni-
cent manner. He said, contritely:
oWell, you see it is this way. We have
nird talks, piano recitals, musicals, pic-
ture exhibitions, and I donTt know
how many other kinds of affairs, in
there. I was busy with the books and
I got tangled up. I did not mean to
mislead yeu.� The guest was molli-
fied, but he is not sure yet that he was

pression."-N. Y. Tribune.
A Busy Bee.
If there is anything more dangerous-
yl industrious than a woinan let loose
in the spring with a pot of green paint
it is the trall boyy who owns any ap-
paratus ie malcing his mark. Not
long..ago sore misguided parents fur-
nished an cnterprisirg urchin with a
steneil star p and ink pad which would
print the family name. No special
warnings on the subject were consi«-
ered necessary, but one fatal day the
mother of the lad made a startling dis-
covery in her handkerchief box. Every
handkerchief she owned had a huge
purple signboard stamped conspicu-
ouslk.on-one of its corners, the work,
of course, of the small boy and the
