The cotton was found in his possession and he surrendered and confessed. Six weeks ago I suffered with a very severe cold; was almost unable to speak. My friends all advised me to consult a pbysioian. Noticing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised in the St.

Paul Volki Zeitung I procured a bottle, and after taking it a short while was entirely well I now moat heartily recommend this remedy to anyone suffering with a cold. Wii Keil, 678 Shelbv St. Paul. Minn. Pearson's majority over Adams, in the 9th Congressional district, is given in the Citizen at 1,170.

The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: "No less than 175 Democrats in Raleigh township failed to vote." If this be trne and these Democrats allowed N. B. Broughton to be defeated for the Legislature by Jim Young, colored, by ten votes, we are in favor of having the Capitol moved to a city that has hotels that can accommodate the people in the centre of the State Greensboro. We understand that there is a movement on foot to have two additional County Commissioners appointed in Caldwell. We publish the law in regard to the matter, from which it will be seen that puch a thing can easily be done when there is any necessity for it.

But we do not believe there are five men who can conscientiously swear that the public business of this county is not safe the hands of the three men recently elected county Commissioners. This being the case, we protest against saddling the additional expense of two useless connty Commissioners, upon Caldwell countj. and Mattresses. The Difference Tennyson could take small piece of paper and write a small poem on it and make it worth $2,500. That is Genios Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth $25,000.

That's capital. The U. can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp upon it the pioture of an eagle and make it worth $20. That's money. A mecbanio can take material worth $10 and make it into watch springs worth $900 That's Skill.

A lady can bay a 753 hat, but she prefers one to cos $25. That's foolishness A ditch digger works ten hours a day and lemoves a ton of dirt for COo. That's labor.

Farmers read what the Rev. O. M. Mnrchlson, principal of school at Penelope, Burke connty, has to say: Penelope, N. O.

Oct. 2, 1896. Hoskins Sherrill, agents Farmers' Mntaal Fire Ins, Newton, N. Dear Sibs: I have my property insured in the Catawba and Burke branch of the Farmers' Mutual, and on Aug. 28, 1896, one of my honses was bnmed.

I notified Mr. J. D. Glass, supervisor of Icard township, and in a few days he came and adjustsd the matter, and to day I received payment in full (of my loss) of Rev, M. A.

Abernethy, Beo. and Treasurer, I am very much pleased with the working of the Association, the promptness in paying the loss. Although the amount is small, yet it was a great help to tho party sustaining the loss. Sincerely, C. M.

MacHiS0N. Farmers of Caldwell we want to call jour attention to this cheap insurance. We make no war on the old line companies; their work is mainly in towns. We do not insure property in towns unless isolated, nor do we insure machinery run by steam. When your neighbor is damaged by Fire, Wind or Lightning, it is your duty to help bim any way, That much we ewe to our fellow man.

We offer yon a systematic plan by which to do that. If any one feels that he does not owe his fellow man when in trouble, tLen he better not join the association. Such men generally do no, calculate that they may have a low of their own. We have some of the very best men in Caldwell county in the association. We want every good citizan of the connty to join the association.

Some desire to have this connty connected with some other good connty or counties. This can be done by mutual consent and by act of Legislature, but to do this yon must build up a strong, good association at home first. The Catawba and Barke branch of the Association had to pay out on losses in 12 months only .03 oa the $100,00 of property insured. If you desire information as to the working of onr plan, or as to the list of persons in jour county who are members of the Association call on Capt. J.

N. Baird or Mr. A. M. Powell, Lenoir, N.

or address tho undersigned at Newton Delays are dangerous We had three cases in Burke and Catawba this year where men had agreed to insure but delayed. Result: Two of them, Rowe and McDowell, had their barns burntd and had his dwelling burned and no insurance. Hoskins Sherrill, Newton, N. O. 189G.

The supporters of Mr. Bryan can well afford to be belittled by the opposition press of this country when they compare the pnblic ad dresses of their candidate with the intemperate language of many of his opponents. Senator Palmer complained of the reception which he received in Missouri in the last days of the campaign, but it is not surprising that his reception was not very courteous, if the reports of his speeches were true. On one occasion, he is reported as addressing himself to individuals as persons who could not count a hundred or say the alphabet, and to another person in the audience as "that sap headed fool with a Bryan picture," How different Mr. Bryan whenever he run up with a hostile crowd.

He had the tact to treat them with great courtesy On several occasions we remember to have read of his saying, "We are always glad to have the Republicans come out and hear us." The supporters of the Chicago platform were often referred to as anarchists, but who was it that announced in a public address that some one might not abide by the result of the election? Was it Bryan or any of his advocates? Not much, It was a man by the name of Lauterbach, a leading Republican of New York, and he said Republican party might not abide by the result" in case Bryan was elected. Such declarations came near bearing fruit in Cleveland, 0 and in Chicago, III. In both of which cities thousands of men paraded the streets the next day after the election bearing transparencies on which were inscribed "we will not submit to another steal of the Presidency as in "76." The elow delivery of the returns, together with these threats that bad been made, caused thousands to believe that an attempt was being made to resist the verdict of the people at the polls But, if trouble had come about no one could have pointed to a single expression of the great Democratic leader as causing it. He is, indeed, temperate in all things. We have been defeated, but the campaign is rich in having devoloped the greatest leader this country has ever produced.

NO MORE ELECTIONS AT HIS PLACE. Under the new election law Rich Square precinct was divided and a new precinct was established with voting place at J. R. Leak's store. Jn that precinct there are about 175 colored voters, living mostly on the Roanake, and 25 whites.

The polls were opened there last Tuesday at the usual time, and the voting and counting continued for two days and one night, during which time there was much noise and hilarity and some confusion. It is reported that one count showed one candidate to have 972 majority in that precinct out of a total vote of 185, and the figures had to be revised Mr. Leak is a very good and quiet citizen and takes but little active interest in politics besides voting, and is reported to have said that this is the last election that will ever be held at his place if he can prevent it. The above paragraph is taken from the Roanoke Patron, a paper published in Northampton county. Is it any wonder that Russell was elected, if such voting can elect any one.

The truth is thore was enough fraudulent votes cast in the recent election to reduce Russell's vote far below Watson's. Tho Congressional Vote.

He has proved himself highly capable of Railroad management since he took charge of the road when it was dropped, badly rnn down at the heel and its toes sticking out at the other end of the shoe, by the Richmond Danville a few years ago. We trust that he will be continued at the halm. The Yeoman says: "We think there is no doubt that Maj. G.

A Card, To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic In justice to myself, as one of the registrars for Patterson township and as an honest man, I wish through tho columns of the Topic to make tho following statement One Hugh Grimes applied to me for a certificate of registration to the precinct at Gamewell this county. I was at my home, away from Patterson, the voting place, one-and-a-half miles; but having a copy verbatim of the books, I did certify that his name did not appear on our books. My friend, Mr. S. F.

Harper, who was chairman of the board, in reply to a telegram sent from Lenoir, stated, in snb. stance, that his name was on the registration books of Patterson township a direct contradiction of my statemeni. In the presence of the clerk of the court, J. A. Dula and other gentlemen of character, 1 examined the Registration books of Patterson township and find the name of Hugh' Grimes erased from tfee book.

Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who ar subject to it take cold very easily and cronp is almost sura to follow. The first symtom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to aet is when the child first becomes hoarse.

If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is. freely given all tendency to cronp will i soon disappear i Even after the croupy cough has developed it ill prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by Todd Shell, Druggists. Cean new stoek of Guns, Cane Mills, Cider mills.

Under his management, and that of the efficient superintendent, Mr. Nichols; associated with him, it was not long in paying operating expenses. Not only this; when the interest on the bonds fell due the money was qn hand to meet it at the compromise rate that had been agreed on by the bondholders when they took the road as a forfeit from the hands of the decrepit Richmond Danville.

Hating had to contend with the difficulties of putting it en a solid basis for profitable existence, it is but fair to him in consideration of! this alone, it is bat due him that he should be re elected. Aside from this he is the most log-ical man for the place; he is interested in property effected by the prosperity of the road and ji a native of our section, feel, a neighbor, as it were, of ours, and he has probably a more intimate knowledge of the road, its workings, and the differing peculiarities of the people i whom it serves than any other man txo might be chosen, It does not matter how we What we say we do we do do. fin La ardware and Respectfully, H.
