If you make clandestine meetings, at ferries, skating-rinks or at the house of a mutual friend, stop these meetings.

Don't have letters come to you uuder assumed names the post office. Don't use terms of endearment at beginnings and endings of letters.

TIIE DAGGERS OF ISiMlGRATIOX, Among many dangers that to-day lie sleeping under the temples of American" government aud society, there are none more harmful than those which accrue from immigration.

In this article do not understand us to oppose all classes of immigrants far from it. T.o peo ple who! come from Europe to this count ry-, with a desire to aid us in tne development of the resources of Amer ica, we would welcome, yes, we would beg such a class to come and help us in the grand march of our civilization. It is well-known to all reading men that a large per cent, of the emigrants from the Old to the New World, within the the last decade, have come from large which are the nurseries of vice and corruption, the' homes of the dyna miter and socialist. Some one has said that many of them are the worst part of the population of their respective countries. Facts show that this class of comers have injured the industrial, social and political welfare of America, Many Of this degraded class were not able to obtain positions in which integrity is required, and on account of their strange ideas scoffed at by their countrvmen.

They then leave their own country and sail for America, They land, and are welcomed by large number of our manufacturers and monopolists. A great many of the laborers that are daily employed in our wool and cotton factories are the vagabonds who were discharged from those jn England. Why are they employed i Because they are better laborers? No; simply because they will work for a dime less per day thata one of our 'own American citizens. We do not and never will blame our laboring citizens for not toiling beside the outcasts and infidels of other nations. These new comers are often the instigations of strikes which sometimes occur among our miners, carpenters, and machinists; and are frequently the leaders of the riots that are at different times seen in our largest cities.

This class, and not the dream of VFree are the great powers which hold thousands of our masons, mechanics, farm and factory laborers in the dust. This is the storm which is calculated to sweep from existence our great middle class and -reduce the mass of our people to laborers, des RIAGES. elopement means eternal ruin the curse of the mod- ern novel. Notwithstanding the inclement wea ther the Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowded yesterday. Dr.

Talmage preached the third xl his course of sermons on he Marriage Ring and dwelt with the evils of clandestine marriages. 1 In part, he said: Tiie Garden of Eden was a great or- chard of fruit-bearing trees, covered willr large, round, ripe fruit, bushel upon bushel, and the horticulturist and his wife who had charge of the place got a hankering for the fruit of one tree simply because it was forbidden to be touched. Solomon discovered this I principle in human nature and the disastrous result of it when he says in my text: Stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there. I want this morning to show up cland estine marriages and escapades.

That ship coming up through the Narrows to New York harbor has on it all the evidences of a tempestuous The salt-water marks appear from the top of the smokestack down and ail the pumps are working to keep the ship from sinking before she gets a Avharf-j age. so it is with tins institu tion of marriage which God launched in the Euphrates. It has been assailed on the one side by free-lovism and by Morraonism on the other side, and the hurricane of libertinism has struck it on all sides, until tne oia snip needs repairs in every plank, bolt and spar. In other words, the opinions or modern society must be reconstructed on the subject of the marriage institu tion. New-England, by many consid ered the most moral part of this coun try, has 2,000 divorces a year.

Massa chusetts, the headquarters of steady habits, has one divorce for every four teen marriages. The State of Maine, bv manv supposed to be very high hi propriety, has 478 divorces in a year, In Connecticut there are women who boast that they have been divorced three or four times. Protestantism is worse in this respect than Roman Cath olicism. Protestantism has anything and everything as an excuse for di vorce, while Catholicism has only the excuse that Christ admitted. In pro portion as Protestants are numerous in; a community dnorce is prominent have all these tacts substantiated, and I ask such a Protestantism need some toning up? Aye, this divine institution of marriage is being destroyed by clandestine mar riages end escapades.

I admit tliat there are cases that are justified. There lire parents who are monomaniacs on the subject who will prevent unions that-are all-right. There are parents with ucu absuttFfarnily ambition as to render any other' means than a clan destine marriage '-Simply impossible. If the one for a life partner baa good morals, has means of soqial position, the parents have no right to prevent a marriage union, if it seems a matter of the heart. I have known a few cases where clandestine marriage has had the blessing of God, but here I declare that ninety-nine out of a huni dred, aye, nine hundred and ninetyr nine out of a thousand of all clandestine marriage and escapades mean ruin forever.

Satan presides over their escapade, he introduces the two parties, gets them to plight their troth, buys their railroad tickets, puts them on board of an express train, and when they are going forty miles an hour he leaves them in the lurch, for while Sat an has great genius for getting people into trouble, he has no genius for getting them out. 1 think the modern has much; to do with many elopements. Would a young woman sit up half the night reading an ordinary case where the parents freely gave their consent? No! no! The story must be filled with narrow escapes, ending in sunshine and parental forgiveness. If a man be able to support a wife there is no temptation for an escapade. There are many men who are as happy as princes on 3 a day, but he should not marry a woman brought up in a twenty thousand dollar home.

This marriage of ox and eagle almost always has this history: First year, they are happy because it is odd! romantic; second year, they settle down into perfect dislike of each other; third year, they apply for divorce, or more probably the man becomes a drunkard and the woman a prostitute. Clandestine change of single for married life is to be deplored because it is almost always iu defiance of mental wisdom and forethought. Most parents are wrapped up in the welfare of the child respecting the hopes of the marital union. But yet there are those who scoff at the protests on the part of parents and who don't realize that parents have a keener appreciation of the demolition that comes from alcohol in the young man. They don't realize that parents have a keener appreciation of a 1 1 Vtoi-irla Vila pockets while his wife supports him.

Editor Gazette: Dsa Slit: Since you last heard from us down here a great gloom of sorrow has been cast over the inhabitants of McAdensville by the death of Mis. Doctor Terry, the mother-in-law of Hon.

R. Y. McAden. Mrs Terry spent all of last summer here, with her daughter, Mrs. McAden; and to say that she was belove'd by all with whom she came in contact, would not express the profound respect that the people oE this place felt i towards her.

She was kind, gentle, and of that bright, cheer- ful disposition that made friends ev- ery where. She took the liveliest inter eryw est in church matters ond no one could give more encouraging support to the Sunday-school at this place than did Mrs. Terry during her visits here. Wiien the news of her death reached here every one seemed to feel as if they had met with a personal loss by the death of this good and beloved lady, whose many acts of kindness, charity and benevolence will cause her memory to be ever cherished by the people of this section. Your noble efforts in behalf of prohi bition will find a strong support in this portion of the township.

A meeting will be called in a few days to give ex pression to the pooplo's views on this great question, and I promise you a full report of the proceedings.

LETTER FilOli CHERRYVILLE. Editor Gazette: I see several interesting communica tions in the last issue of the Gazette; the most noted was signed Veritas Hans Peur, in plain English means "truth without fear." The writer has a good command of language and gets up a good and well timed ar ticle.

I like to read articles from the differeut portions of the county. That is what makes a newspaper newsy, The Analecta. published at this place, will be moved to Forest City. I would like to say something about the farminsr interest, but under the circumstances will have to pass it by, not beine able to cive any idea of the prospects. Senator Vance made an able defense of the silver dollar in the Senate on the 12th.

We have ust reasons to be proud of him. Col Cowles is doing good work. He will make a good flight to cariy his whs miougu me nouse. I have seen but little yet of Judge Bennett, but he is not asleep, mark that, when he speaks he jneaus some thing. Veritas.

FiiOU LOWELL. Editor Gazette: Yesterday afternoon three of the young mechanics of Gastonia 'hit the errit" for Lowell, and after two hours run they pulled up at Lowell and were sidetracked here for repairs. Well after several hours of scraping mud from their trowsers, they proceeded toJ business, and they are now fitting up the store room, formerly occupied by Ragan and Grey, for Ragan Co who expect to open up a first class stock of merchandise in a short time. Well, as it is about that time of day. we.

will go up and give Mc's dinner ta bin another shake. Mc. is feeding us on every thing nice from the Lowell market. You will hear from us again if we don't get in this mud. E.

B. THE SHARP OLD SHERIFF OF NASH. Battleboro Headlight. A capital story is told of the method by which a former sheriff of Nash countv secured his election. The ruse was clever, and therefore character istic of a Nash county man.

The sheriff in ouestion was uncertain of his election, and knowing that the con test would be close determined to make special effort. A near neighbor of his was opposed to his election and to wm him over he invited him to din ner, bidding at the same another acquaintance, with whom it was agreed that he should pick a quarrel with the unsuspecting neighbor. Accordingly it was done, whereupon the candidate angrily ordered his friend from the house and after he had gone remarked Well, I have lost a vote, but you shall not be insulted in my house if it beats me," If," replied his neighbor, you have lost a vote you have gained one also. I'm going to vote for you." He did and the sheriff was elected by a majority of one. Of course the friend who made the quarrel merely played off to gain the important vote.

The most valuable postage stamp know to collectors is said to be issued by the Postmaster of Bartteleboro, Vt, in 1747. which was suppressed after a few weeks. A speciman is now worth six or eight hundred dollars. Be -and you will be a curios- fin co iferred upon a newcomer in five years after his arrival; and in cases of close elections many are naturalized before this short time has expired, tistics show; that party "victories have been won by counting pauper votes and that even tramps have been given the priceless privilege of the ballot. No one can deny that the direful influence of the dynamiter is felt in certain parts of our domain, and that he has begun to cast his shadow under the dome of the national capitol.

Infidelity, socialism, dynamiteism, nihilism were all 1 nurtured in Europe, and hae. at last come to America. They came imjyriuted upon the minds of many immigrants. We would not dictate to our law-mak ers, but more stringent laws should be passed relative to the present influx of foreigners. We Iwld that our country should not be made an asylum for the fv escaped prisoners and robbers of other nationalities5.

Its fertile soil should not be tilled by men who were driven from Europe on account of crime. Our factories should not be worked by laborers who were discharged from those in England. European ideas of happiness and government should not be stamped on the minds of our humbler We know that public senr ment is rapidly changing in favor of the passage of more stringent laws ia regard to this question of immigration. Jt is now. receiving the most careful study of our greatest statesmen.

A law has already been passed exclud- --injr the Chinamen from oitrJLand. Sev- -eral vessels loaded with paupers were not allowed to land in our seaports. Surely before another decade shall have passed; the storm of vile immigrants which now beats upon our shores will be sent back to the homes of corruption whence it started The South has, to a certain extent, felt the influence of- some of these comers, many of her cities contain large numbers of -The South must find will, be built up, and it must succeed, but its day of perfect prosperity is indeed in the future, if it has to be reached by in- -comers of other regions." All admit that nature ha3 been lavish with her gifts in the South. That every' cataract speaks as a sounding voice and -demands that its immense power be turned into wealth. True it is that the rugged breasts of our mountains beckon men to como and release the gems that lie within their stony em brace, and even the snowy fields of cot--ton invite people to turn their whiteness into gold.

But all this must done by men nurtured under the clear sky of a Southern clim3. Our own dear South land should be raised from the dust in which it was left bv the cruelty of Shp.rm.an.. the. Att.iln. of A must be raised by the daughters and sons of the gallant men who followed, the tattered standards of tlie dauntless Jackson and Lee.

B. DO NOT BEFOG THE ISSUE. From the N. Y. We have no patience with those excitable and nervous people who are try- ing to befog and mix up the silver ques-; a simple matter, and offers no excuse for undue excitement and still less fo deliberate misstatement.

In raising the bug-a-boo of demonet-itzation the silver advocates are reprehensible. No responsible person, so far as we know, is aiming at the abolition of the use of silver as money. At all events it will be time enough to lug that scare into the controversy when somebody introduces a measure in Con-. gress looking to that result. In covertly hinting that there is a set of men who are profiting by the debasement of silver, the gold fanatics are much to blame.

That missing 20 cents is the result of the fluctuations that are always possible between the values of metal bullion. The United States pays the market price for silyer, the same price that must be paid by 11 persons who want it, no more and no less. The mints coin it up in proportions that are prescribed by law. The result of that combination is that -a silver dollar is worth 20 cents less than a gold one, but the dealers in bullion, or the so-called silver kings," do not get the difference. If any one makes it, the Government is the party that profits, for, buying the metal in weight-at bottom market prices, the mints coin it up, using 20 cents' worth less than they should in every dollar.

The intelligent formation of opinion is prevented when these false and irrelevant matters are! brought into the discussion. FATAL SETTLEMENT OF A DOCTOR'S BILL. CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 25. DrSarn Price and Wm Powell quarrelled in "Walker- county Ga.

ATLANTA, Jan. 22. Since the ar- est of George Vaughn and Joel Smith for robbing a grave in Decaturtne people of that place have been greatly excited, and it was decided to examine all the newly made graves in the cemetery. Four graves were op 'ned ind two found to be empty. The peo- le of Decatur are indignant and there msbeen some talk of lynching Joei Smith, the sexton of the was implicated in the desecration.

Vaughn, the Atlanta Medical College jporter, was arrested for grave robbing Atlanta in the year 1879 or 18S0. He was tried and convicted, ana paid fine of 390 and cost of court. The negroes are in a terrible state of excite- mpiit. over the discovery that ghouls have gotten into the cemetery. FIRE AT SALISBURY.

PII ILLIPS1 JURG, Jan. 24.

Aaron Culver, a fireman in the employ of the Leghigh Valley Railroad i Company, died here recently after a short illness, due to excessive drinking of cold water Culver's extraordinary" capacity for drinking water made him noted along the entire line of the road. It was a common thing for him to. drink a two- quart pail or pitcher of water without removing the vessel from his lips. His usual quantity of water during the day was four but he had been known to drink as much as eight gallons. This did not include the quantities he drank between' supper and bed time, which was correspondingly large.

He never drank anything exempt water. He seemed to al wayg; thirty, and era vim? foiT water seemedo be just as strong in the winter as in the summer, TOBACCO AND COTTON RAISING Mr. D. M. Goodwin; of Rialto, gives us some facts with regard to his expe rience in tobacco and cotton raising during the piast year.

He planted eight acres in tottoiytnd three in tobacco. He used guano with Wth crops and tended both with equal care and diligence. It was a bad year for cot ton and he made only two bales. He carried the two bales to market and received considerably less than one hundred dollars for them. He carried about four hundred pounds of tobacco to market and realized over 140 for it clear of warehouse expenses.

This was not his best tobacco, and if the remaining part of this crop sells in proportion to his first sale he will get near a thou sand dollars for his three acres of to bacco. About 10 per acre for his cotton and about $300 per acre for his tobacco Well it is no wonder that he expects to trv tobacco again. Pittsboro Home. A FATAL FIRE IN MEMPHIS. MEMPHIS.

Jan. 20. A fire this morning at Orleans and Linder streets, destroyed three buildings. Fred. Schmidt, a German living m-thc rear of his grocery was burned to death.

The Raleigh Kews and Observer says: Our Washington correspondent seems to think with others that the conflict between the President and the Republican Senate is inevitable. Well, if the opposition is foolish enough to force such an issue let it do so. The chances of victory are altogether with the President. The Democratic Sena tors will of course stand by him to a man, and it is by no means certain that all the Rrpublicans will vote against him. He has but maintained with proper dignity and firmness the prerog ative of his office.

He has therefore nothing to fear. One dispatched from Washington says the contest in all likelihood will be "one of the most im portant and serious party struggles that ever happened in history of the country, not excepting the time when Andrew Jackson defied the Uni ted States Bank and their Senatorial majority." Even if this be so, the re sult cannot be other than the utter rout of the Republican party, Some well informed people indeed believe that party already on the verge of dis integration and living only on the de lusive hope that the administration will commit some blunder which will re turn to it the "cohesive power of pub- jewelry shop into the stove of Messrs.

Though a very serious, it is stil) excluding from them tle comforts and refinements that our great civilization affords. Little did the framers or our Constitution think that the time would ever come when the dregs of other nations would be impdrted-ta our soil. Yet, in almost every journal we read an account of the landing of a certain vessel loaded with foreigners, many of whom are noted for their love of the mother country, they leave it with no intention of, remaining away; they bring nothing; they desire no real es tate; they take no interest in the pub lic institutions of this country their whole aim being to make a fortune, re turn to Europe, and spend it in extrav agant living.

Seven-tenths of those who remain with us are illiterate and socially depraved. This is the chief cause of their tendency to crime and poverty.) Those willing to work bring over no families and can afford to la bor for less wages than our own citizens, many of whom have children to feed, clothe, and educate. Let no one tell us that there is no danger in such a degraded class of comers. Already the cries of the great people of California have been heard in the halls of Congress iu regard to the Chinese question, and the earnest appeals of the honest laborers of the North and East are now being whispered into the ears of our lawmakers.
