the honest enforce ment of the laws upon the efficiency of our common school system and great advance mad in education and the general im provement and enterprise manifested in ev ery part of the state and we pledge our 1 selves to exert all efforts to advance the i material interests of all sections of the state in the future as we have done in the past and we challenge a comparison between a democratic administration of our state af i fairs and the crimes outrages and scandals \ that accompanied republican misrule af j inning our adherence to democratic prin j ciples a defined in the platform adopted j by the national democratic convention held at cincinnati in l»s : liusulred that we regard a free and fair j expression of the public will at the ballot box as the only sure means

repeal of all laws imposing a direct lax for the support ot the government of the united states but if it should prove impracticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its at tending demoralization fraud and corrup tion then we urge upon our senators and r spresentatives in congress the importance of so amending the law that the revenue officers whonow receive in salaries in north carolina alone more than o00.000 shall be elected by the people of the localities to which they are assigned resolved that the course of the demo ; cratic party since its accession to power in north carolina in furtherance of popular education is a sufficient guaranty that we earnestly favor the education of all classes of our people and that we will advocate any legislal ion lookin«*jto an increase of the fund for th:it purpose that will not materially increase the present burdens of our people itasohed that the question of prohibi tion is not now and never has been a par ty question in north carolina and never been endorsed by the democratic party 1 , and the people of the state at the general election in the year 1881 having by an overwhelming majority voted against pro hibition and the supreme court having decided that the prohibition act is not and never has been a law we regard the matter as finally settled and any attempt to re new the agitation is merely a weak effort of designing persons to divert the minds of the people from the dangerous principles and corrupt practices of the republican party liesohed that while we are not wedded to any particular form of county govern ment we recognize the fact that a large part of the tuxes of the state are paid for the common benefit by the white people of our eastern counties and that we consider it the bound en duty of the white men of the state to protect these people from the oppressive domination of ignorant blacks and pledge ourselves to such legislature as will secure this end and whereas it is seriously suggested that vigorous effort will soon be made to compel the state by judicial proceedings to pay the fraudulent and unlawful special tax bonds amounting to 32,000,000 issued under legislation passed by the republican legislature 1868 and 1869 therefore resolved further that the democratic party will resist such recovery and the payment of such bonds \<\ every lawful means the above resolutions were rend tteriatim and on motion were adopted as a whole as the platform of the democratic party of n01 th carolina on motion of mr furman the following resolution was adopted : resolved

boston bulletin makes the state ment that there is a movement on foot in en a land among capitalists to form a syn dicate with southern cotton growers for the purpose of building cotton mills in the cotton states the followiugis the plan as reported by t lie bulletin : the cotton growers on their part pro pose to build the mills grow the cotton and deliver it to the mills and grow the pro visions of the operatives the cotton spin ners on their part are to take the stock or bonds of the company are to supply all the machinery to make yarn ; are to fur nish managers and trained operatives for three years besides this the cotton growers who fur nish cotton are to pay the mill a certain sum per pound for spinning and then sell their cotton in bales of yarn ii stead of lint thus saving all expense between geld and fictory all expense for ba^giiiif and lies pressing and com pressing the manchester mills run 30,000,000 of spindles and work annual 3,000,000 bales of cotton which have to be

come out of the cotton grower years ago it had to be demonstrated that factories could be run in the south profita bly but that is no longer necessary for it has been established to the satisfaction of every one who has given the subject any inquiry and the large annual increase of factories in the south further establishes it the time is not far distant when the south will not only be the great cotton growing but also the great cotton manu facturing set tion of the world when she will leap not only a part but all of the profit there is in the staple and in time too she will with the use of improved machinery and better cultivation raise two bales where she now raises one thus continuing to control the cotton market of the world and with the profits of the lint come also the profits of the seed which will cease to be wasted and being conver ted into oil and other merchantable articles will add millions of treasure annually to the income of the south — char observer the republicans tried the experiment of negro suffrage at washington to their heart's content and failed it resulted like the experiment in the eastern counties of north carolina the negroes became the dupes of evil-minded white men who had designs upon the public crib they were mighty good friends of the negro voter in election times but were regular harpies so far as the tax-payers were concerned they despoiled the treasury they ran the city to enormous expense aud pocketed the cash one would have thought that massa littletield and his crowd had leftjmorth carolina only to take up at the federal capital the corruption was great the ' atmosphere was tainted with the odor of jobs the morals of the city were under mined by the lordly magnificence of the : republican knaves who led the negroes by the nose for their own profit the glare of sunlight however at last penetrated the dens of villainy and in 187 a democratic congress wiped the foul blot away the republicans never had the nerve to deal with robbery and misrule and anarchy it was left lor the democrats to deal the death blow to the foul corruption that had made the administration of public affairs so in tolerable the democrats proposed to take from the negroes who could not govern themselves the right of self-government for they were involving the whites in irre trievable ruin the only remedy for the evil was to dissolve the legislature and put the district under commissioners to be ap pointed by the president when that plan was propwsed gurtield then a member of congress pledged that the republican t'puiiieut would appoint good men and would not run the district government in , the interest of the kepublicau party that j pledge was kept the bill was passed and to-day the people there would not if 1 the could go back to the old system of 1 iatc there has been something said about making some < hanges in the minor offices in the interest of the republican party thereupon the washington star which is regarded as au administration paper comes out with an editorial against any change whatever it says : the present form of district govern ment has now been on trial for four years or since july 1st 1878 and the general verdict is undoubtedly in itsjfavor despite some anomalies and defects in the system and some fault finding occasionally just against individual officials the growth of i opinion has been steadily 111 its fuvor the feeling is that under this form of govern ment district financial affairs have been managed honestly and that washington in as charge is rapidly becoming th best paved and shaded the most orderly aud the handsomest and pleasantest city in the countiy it then speaks of the growing confidence in the district government manifested by \ good w©rds spoken in congress etc and urges that the people should be on the alnrt to prevent any cliange and so the wisdom of this democratic measure lwis been made evident the measure has beeu justified it is proper however to say that republicans indorsed the bill ; the repub lican president signed it and made it n jaw and has executed it faithfully that law is based on exactly the same principle as the appointment of county commissioners in the negro counties — new observer wilmington mar the fayetteville examiner makes a good point on colonel dockery the kads are very heavy on sumptuary laws it seems that the colonel is in favor of such a law in his letter to the star of june 21 1881 he said i can ue no a'.vji-etion to more stringent legislation in the way of license restrictions in increasing the license tux thereby filtering property burdens at the expense of those who drink heavy financial responsibility by bond for damages ensuing from its sale c the examiner thus pins him to the re cord : " ■> hen he next addresses the pub lic ve suggest th.it iie let his audience iv i w is i character oi the stringent i slatio in the wny of license restrictions 1 t ,„ iiiiu further state ij or large in order io cany out his idea f relieving proyerty burdens at the expense of those who drink let him fur ther state how large a bond he would re quire from the dealer in liquor to protect the public from the damages ensuing from its sale he favors evidently a sumptuary law to the extent of restricting license for selling by imposing a higher tax he wishes to make the license high enough to relieve property burdens maj clem dowd has written a letter to mr best which we find in the mont gomery star in which ho suggests a change in the proposed route of the mid land railroad we quote an extract : the route to which i desire to direct your attention would extend from smith field in the county of jouhstou to which point i am i in formed you have already completed the grading to liiliugton or or toomer in the county ot haruett ; thence rid jonesboro san ford and car thage iu moore county totrov in mout goiuerj cninty ; thence crossing the great pec dee at or near christian's ferry to aldemarle in stanly county from al bemarle by constructing a line to salis bury say 28 miles and another to wades boro w miles you complete your char tered road from wadesboro to salisbury and at the same time form a junction with the western n c railroad thus connecting with the great west on the one hand and with the best cotton grow ing sections iu north carolina south car olina and georgia on the other it is only about jo miles from albemarle to char lotte to which point you might extend your road and intersect with its great thoroughfares or going by mount pleasant to concord 24 miles connect with the richmond and danville or on to monroe about the same distance with the carolina central or by buildnig all these short lines form a kind of crow's foot with the heel at albemarle the secrets of the internal revenue like the writings of buddhist priests are a scaled book to the ordinary citizen we therefore do not know how many people in north carolina was directly annoyed and harassed to no good or lawful purpose but every man who runs a fruit distillery is in that class the revenue derived from the distillation of fruit is all paid out in the collection without doubt it costs as much as it comes to there are probably thousands of such distilleries in this state ; the owners are annoyed and harassed and it is all for nothing there is practically no net revenue derived from taxing them they have all the annoyance and they pay their money but the government realizes no benefit from the payment — neic observer . attacked by a snake — mr james os born was attacked by a monster snake near greeman's mills this county saturday morning he was driving leisurely along when he was startled by seeing an object resmbling a large reptile moving down the road toward him at a rapid pace as it drew nearer he discovered that it was a large black snake and as near as he could judge about 20 feet long its body was as large as a man's leg and covered with large black scales finding that it was making directly for his horse he whipped his horse into a run in order to evade the reptile if possible as he came upon it the reptile made a spring at his horse simultaneous ly he gave his horse the whip and reined him quickly to one side the snake struck one of the front wheels of his buggy knocking nearly all the spokes out of the wheel and came near turning the vehicle over the horse becoming frightened started at a full run down the road search was afterwards made for the snake but without any success — greensboro fat riot the last figuring on the probable result of the coming
