The following ticket was nominated : Governor—W. A. Guthrie. Lieutenant Governor—Ol.ver H. Dockery. Treasurer—W. H. Worth. Secretary of State—Cyrus Thomp. son. Auditor—IL. W. Ayer. Sapt. Public Instruction——Charles H. Mebane. 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 “if yor are going to fuse with Republicans for God’s 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 Butler’s 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- ing. 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 State proposed only one set of electors, givivg the Pepulists more than their share of. the, number, This they refused, t does this,mean’ Does it give dhe electoral tickets and ‘thereby. on dan er the chances. of .Mr. Bryan carrying ‘North Carolina?

The blackest devil outside of the pit is hate. Nothing a bad man owns can be _ his long. The right to do right isa God given right. No man can walk straight who fol- lows a doubt. Have more religion than you can carry in your head. No one can know Christ without wanting to be like him. No man treats Christ well who treats his brother wrong. Darkness cannot be made black enough.to destroy light. Faith used 1s as sure to grow as good seed in good soil. God knows how we love, while men only know how we live. The man who conquers himself has God for his helper. No man can fail until he tries to get along withotu God’s help. hire people to be good, and they will quit whew the pay stops. It is hard to believe in the religion uf some very religious people.

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.

Hark ! his pattering foot I hear Adown the dewy lane ;- His voice echoing soft and clear Across the golden grain. His face is covered o’er with tan, Hid ’neath a broad rim’d hat ; And sunburnt are his little haads— But he’s mine for a’ that! Around his angel brow I see Ringlets of golden hair ; And in his love-lit eyes for me There shines a heaven fair! He’s 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 a To drive the cattle home ! i _..

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 +| proving a potent factor in weakening the argaments and discrediting the dog- he single gold standard ad- tras of ~ vocates, aad paving the way to a vin- dication of free silver, should free silver prevail.—-Richmond Dispatch. PRIME TEMPERME PLA es Mee aa a aly LPPLPPLL PDL PANNA PAP Spurgeon’s 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 children’s backs, and bread on the cottage table. We have God’s Word for it that the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and to show tue connec.ion between them, it is said in the same verse, drowsiness shall clothe a man I know that drunken, loose the drupkenness with rags. habits grow out of lazy hours.

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 Mona’s 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.’’ 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: ‘“‘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. mighty’s 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.”’ 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 ‘he would be certain to appear cn the spot, and if ho omnes not i ae the ani- - me SORA a CRUDE RI | Thuuunt i WAS “PIANO TALK.” 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: “What is going on in there?” The clerk jabbed his pen in the ink- stand and replied tersely: “I 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 clerk’s 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: “What did you say was going on in that rocm°” put muttered something about ‘four and seven make eleven and—” adding hurriedly: “{ don’t know, but I think it’s 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: “What did you say was going on in that room ?”’. 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: “f said I was not sure, but [ thought it was a piano recital.” quisitive man. meekly. said the man. ‘And then you said it was a piano talk, and now you say it’s a piano recital. I’m 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. 1 didn't—” The guest might have gone on talking indefinitely, had not the clerk apologized in the most peni- cent manner. He said, contritely: “Well, you see it is this way. We have nird talks, piano recitals, musicals, pic- ture exhibitions, and I don’t 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 uot being “jollied,” to use his own ex- pression.—-N. Y.

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.
