Lincolnton News: |Two challengea

Our hankering for gore is satiated.
The Auguata Chronicle of Sunday
last was a moat handsome and inter
esting paper, displaying considerable
enterprise in its general get up.
The nominees for Governor of Ten
nessee, Hon. Robert L. laylor,|the
Democratic candidate, and Hon. Al
fred H. Taylor, Republican nominee,
are brothers.
Judging from appearances the
Republic of Columbia has several
standing candidates for matrimony.

An exchange intimates that it has
several receipts •‘ready”—for delin
quents, wo presume. Well, such is
encouraging, but if times don’t liven
up we will not need to till out any
soon. The fact is, such business is a
thing of the past.
The Atlanta Capitol truthfully re
marks: The woman who falls is ex
cluded by a cold, unsympathetic ’
world. The man who falls is soon
hugged to the bosom of society. This
is a sad mistake, meanwhile in nine
cases out of ten the man is directly
responsible for the woman’s downfall.
Lincolnton News: Hliellie Davie has
at hie home an old barn which is still
used that can be proven to be over a
hundred years old. It was built by
hie great grandfather who immigrated
from North Carolina in the early in
fancy of the United States. It bids
fair to last another half century.
It is thought that the petition for
the jiardon of Major Geo. T. Jackson,
will be withdrawn for the present, on
account of Governor McDaniel’s delay
in answering the same, as it is looked
upon as an indication that the Gover
nor will refuse the j ardon, and the
friends of Mr. Jackson do not wish to
do anything to prejudice the incom
ing administration against him or his
chances for a pardon in the future.
In writing of the recent earthquake,
the Scientific American says:
"From general reports and the
observations of the Government
scientists. Director Powell concludes
that the earthquake had its centre in
North and South Carolina to the
Northeast of Charleston. The land
area of the earthquake was one third
of the total area of the United States,
and the maps which have been pre
pared show that the shock traversed
this distance in about fifteen minutea”
The Washington Gazette has the
ring of the true metal in speaking of
the candidacy of a negro by the name
of Zack David, for the Senate, in say.
ing that “no such are wanted." The
people of this district expect to put
in the Senate the gentleman whose
name is found at the head of thia page
among other nominees of the l)emo
cratic party. The beet thing for cuf
fy, in thia district especially, is to
keep cut of politics and attend to the
C dtivation of the great staple of life
together w ith the financial lever power
king cotton. He knows lx-Iter how
to use the plow and hoe than debate
public issues.
We fe.l inclined to endorse the fol
lowing from the Albany News:
"Georgia will be forced to introduce
the whipping post for minor offenses
in self-defense There are now 1,500
convicts in the chain-gang of the State,
not including those convicts in county
chain gangs. ’1 he great bulk of these
convicts arc negroes. The whipping
post should have ended in the punish
ment of many of these cases. Swift
and sure punishment is what the
criminal needs. The negro, in most
cases, does not nee 1 long punishment.
The whipping post business is it
practical question, but the constitu
tion of the State prohibits it.
A Burning Shame.
Occasionally through the columns
of this paper we have’ refered to the
present convict lease system as a
burning shame upon the law makers
of our State, and, to-day, we look
upon it as one of the most demoraliz
ing blotches standing upon the
statutes of our State, and anything
but. a, favorable commentary upon
the civilization of our,‘people. In
deed, in the light of Christian civili
zation, it is one of those evils that con
tinues to cry not only.to the people
of this great State, but to Heaven for
redress.
The 'idea of framing a law that
gives to those already rich the abso
lute and unreserved power of leasing
the unfortunate characters and re
sorting to every artifice to weight
down their already overflowing cof
fers without, any regard to the moral
surroundings.oflthe unfortunate ones
design of the penal laws
should be fin the net of punishment
upon the 'transgressor to impress n
useful and corrective lesson, and peni
tentiaries should have influences
thrown around them that tend to ele
vate the morals of a culprit. How
may we expect the young man who
lias been so unfortunate as to forget
the great principles of honesty and to
have been entrapped by the tempta
tion to steal, under the present sys
tem to be lead to meditate upon the
character of his crime ard to have
instilled into bis mind a lesson that
will lead to ebvating him, so long as
convict camp* and coal mines with
their degrading influences are made
the receptacles in which lie is to pay
the penalty of his crime ? God speed
the day when this dark blot shall be
erased from the statute books of the
State, and when punishment upont he
law breaker shall tend to soften bis
heart, instead of rendering him in
sensible to elevation.
Ward's Woes.
Maxey’s, Ga., January, 188 C».
lor twolvo or fourteen years I have been a
great sufferer from a terrible form of blood
l»oi*on which ran into the secondary, and
finally it wm pronounced a tertiary form My
head, face and ahouldera became almost a
masa of corruption, and finally the dim ase
commenced eating away my skull bonas. I
became •<» horribly repulsive that for three
years I absolutely refused to lot people see me.
1 used large quantities of most noted blood
remedies and applied to nearly all physicians
near me, but my condition continued to grow
worse, and all sanl that 1 must surely die. My
Ivones b< came the sent of excruciating aches
and pains; nn nights were passed in misery; I
wm reduced in tl< sh and strength; my kidneys
were terrible deranged, and life became a
burden to niv.
1 ehancetl to see an advertisement of B. B. B.
and sent one dollar to \\ C. Birchmore ACo ,

buttle for me. It was used with decided
benefit, and when eight or ten bottle* had been
used I was pronounced sound and well.
