The democrats made aclean sweep of all the town officers inth3 north and west town, also in thesouth town, although the republicanswe 4 fighting chance to get an asses-sor in part of the city. Oi the thirty-~four aldermen, the returns point to theJeetion of twenty-six democrats, fourrepublicans and four independents.Harrison gainea heavily in the bannerrepublican wa'ds, caraying the thirty-fourth by 5,019, against 4,281 for Har.lan and 8,434 for Sears, This wardgave MaKinley a majority of 6,000last fall. The Third. Fourth andTwelfth always republicanstrongh lds, were aiso cariied by Har-Wars,rison. It was apparent at midnightthat Harrison had beaten Sears, theregular republican candidate, by from85,000 to $0,000 voies. At the lastmiyoralty election, Swift's ~vote was143,407, against 102,294 for Wenter,dem erat. In the presidential electionMcKinley haa 200 747, against 144,036for bryan. 7The demcerats had an excellent or-- ganization, their campaign was handledwell and as the republican ranks werehopelessly split, the result was never inmuch doubt, although Harlan, Searsand Hesing all claimed that they couldnot be beaten. The leaders of the re-publican mach'ne weie not quite ashopctul as they claimed to be and 1% isseid on excellent authority that Searsowas quietly traded for Roy O. West,the republican candidate for city at-tarney. ~Che campaign was fought forthe moet part on strictly local issues,altheugh whe democrats had a silverplank in their pfactoru.onan: eetLeft $40,000 to Pub'1c Schorls,Dr. John C.

That is why the subjecthas been worked to bed rock andbeyond.That most country newspapersare important factors 1n localaffairs, no one at all acquaintedwith the subject can for a momentdoubt. North Carolina has a listof which any state might be proudand from many of her smallcountry offices men have gradu-ted to positions of nationalresponsibility and fame. If the~own meetingT is the preparatoryschool for the halls of congress,in no less degree do the countrynewspapers take the place of afitting institution for a widersphere of usefulness.They are, asa rule, independ-ently honest in tone, and allowno fear of consequences to in-fluence them when they feel likecriticising whatever is consideredworthy of criticism within theirjarisdiction.

Speaking to themotion, he expressed the beliefthat the reserve cf breadstuffsnever exceeded three weeksT sup-ply and frequently sank below aweekTs supply. Frence, he pointed out, was self-supporting, andRussia and the United Stateswere not only self-supporting but:able to make large exports. TheDreikund, he continued, waspractically self-supporting andGreat Britain alone lived fromhand to mouth and drew herprincipal supplies of wheat fromRu-sia and the United States,which might possibly at sometime be hostile to Great Britain.Mr. Sclon-Karr furiher remarkedthat should the harvest inAmerica fail and Russia refuse tosupply Great Britain, the latterTsposition would be most serieus.The speaker called attextion tothe danger done to theT commerceof the United States by the Ala-bama and remarked that manysuch vessels might be set to pryupon British commerce in time ofwar. He did act desire actionwhich wou!d raise the price toconsumers. but he hoped thegovernment would consider thesubject seriously and proposedthat state graneries be erected forkeeping supplies.Sir Charles Dilke, radical, con-tended that Russian exports ofwheat to Great Britain weredecreasing and be asserted thathalf of Great BritainTs food camefrom the United States., ire eelJust try a Luc. box ot cascarets, thefinest. liver and bowel jegu ator evermade,ee ~ RANK 3 : A ~ 5Be claalaiomalnalaneing Wasa( e, ORSOFPRACTICALTIN AND SHEET (ROWORKER.Offers his services to thecitizens of Greenville and thepublic generally.ROOFING, GUTTERING, %Spouting and Stove Work,a specialtySatisfaction guaranteed or Sg- no charges made. ohacco Qq© Flues made in season, Shop @a) inicar of 5 and 10 cent.store. 29Wp Soeetensensersecseerensengs?
