Lincolnton News: |Two challengea to fight in one week ought to be enough to witiafy the mont faatidioun. 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. Forward, gentlemen, the Ordinary in ready to issue license. RThe Racine Journal lays: T. V. Powderly poaitivelytrefusea.to accept a nomination for Congress on any consideration whatever. Ho is not in politics as a candidate. Ml 1 ■" 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 T. Jackson, will be withdrawn for the present, on account of Governor McDaniel’s delay in answering the same, as it is looked upon as an indication that the Gover nor will refuse the j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.
