By reason of somebody else's fault however as his tale went, he ha 1 lost his job and bad been out of work quite a while. He told of a good many places that he bad beon to looking for work, hut there was none to be found anywhere. He hud bocn to several places iu North Carolina, had leen to Greenville and Spartanburg and now found himself here without work; hungry and without food. Well, we had no work for him, but we could not send the man away hungry. Somit nies we refuse to give but we never refuse to give food when we can soe that it is really needed. So we gave him IS cents and told him the way to a restaurant and thought no more of the man. Half an hour later walking past the dig [tvun irjr iiuur wucin snouiu we sec S'anuillg at the bar, but our object of charity, our journeyman printer! On inquiry Inter w? found that he had bought 15 coot* worth of liquor. Imagine our feeling. We resolved to be more particular about our donations in the future. As a matter of ftct wo had supplied the money which bought the liquor for that fellow to get tlruuk on. Well, what do you think? tint fellow, that woo-begone. cadaverous countenanced object of charity, bad the peerless cheek, tho egregious effrontery to come back and qiiiotly sweat off hi# beastliness on a box in the back end of the printing office. Late iu the evening having sweated out most of his liquor he got lip stretched himself and stood rouud the printing office trying to scrape up nu acquaintance with some of the printers Failing there lie came into the editor's office and in spite of all we couhl do coine near making himself out nu old friend of our family. Such consumate cheek wo have never bofore seen in a journeyman. Leaving, lie begged us for a shirt, which, iu consideration of his skill and adroitness nnd his refreshing nndaeilv we could not refuse. After lie left we learned ill At his pitiful petitions had a 26 cents effect en the foreman. With that money also he endeavored to buy liquor, but being refused, on account of the dispensary rule against selling twice to the same man in one day, the dispenser came near having to put him out of his place of business, for dis orderly behavior. He was a rare bi-ped and ought to be caged for a menagerie or hung up in the National Museum nnd labeled "The Original?The only real and genuine.' ATTENTION !

The convention after caucusing quite a while decided to put out a full ticket, but some delegations nud several de'egates having withdrawn lrotu the convention, causing a sp'it in the ranks, the convention adjourned sine die after passing the following resolutions : Resolved, That this convention accept the action of the convention held hero ou the 1 '.?th iust., in endorsing tho Chicago platform as a concession to the Democracy of the State but regards the simultaneous endorsement of Democratic and Populist platforms, representing parties ami antagonistic principles, as forfeiting the allegiance of all straight Democrats and tho respect of all ncncsi ropunsis. Resolved that, this convention cordially accepts and endorses the national Democratic platform and declares its unwavering devotion to the national Democratic party. Resolved, That we iuvite and urge all Democrats of tlie State to proceed to organize for the purposes hereinafter stated. Resolved, That while this convention desires to avoid doing anything likely to cause increased strife among our people we believe that the principles of l?emocraey, the safety of every interest in the State and the instinct of sell preservation demand that a hard and earnest tight be made against the proposition t> ctll a constitutional convention to create a new fundamental law involving the rights of every man in the State without providing for the siibmisson of in work to the people. We tender to the opponents of this iniquitous, undemocratic, tyrnuieal and dangerous proposition the service of the organization herein provided (or and invite them to join with us in lighting it at the approaching genoral election.
