PRESI- Or Any Other Political Opponent-' The President at tartersville His Kesem blance to Rill Arp. "Welcome the coming and speed the parting guest." That is the way to do it. The President of these United States has been here. He raised his hat politely and said he was glad to see us. He and Mr. Wanamaker talked five minutes and bade ns good-bye, and Asa Dunn rung the bell and they skipped to At lanta. The President is a good look ing gentleman, and they say he looks like me. I think I like him better than I think I do. The fact is, I'm getting tired of disliking him. .What's the use of abasing a man iust beeause his politics don't suit? What's the use of finding fault w ith a man as long as he is in office, and al ter he is out or dead, all of a sudden we 'discover that he is a very clever gentleman. The Democrats used to say hard things against Lincoln and Garfield but now they are saints. This is all wrong and I move to quit it. I believe that we would if it wasn't for the newspapers. A bitter partisan political newspaper does more to keep up strife than anything else. I take the New York Tribune and if I believed half it prints I would auit the Democratic party immedi- ately for fear of being eternally damn ed. There are thousands and thous ands who take it and take no other, and believe it all. It is their faith, their creed and their religion. It teaches them to hate the South and the Democracy. It is a great paper in every, way, except that it never has a good word for our people, and when we complain to our Republican riends about it they smile and say, 'Oh, that's politics ; both sides dp that.'' A man can take up two southern Democratic papers printed in the same town and they are always at loggerheads. 11 one advocates certain measures or certain men the other comes right out pn the other side. I move they be requested to quit that, and there is many a second to the motion. I believe that every man should read both sides. If he eads but one side he becomes nar row and bitter and bigoted, whether it be in politics or religion. I took the Christian Index as long as . Dr. Tucker edited it, and it broadened my sectarian views and made me more liberal and tolerant. Now President Harrison has made' us a visit and spoken kind words, and has x-en kindly received bv our people, and our press paid him compliments and said' nothing: about "the little man," and the editors who have been abusing him rode around with him, and dined with him, and .the nice la dies of Atlanta paid him and his wtfe much attention, and our Governor .1 . 1 gave Mem a reception, ana every thing was loving and harmonious, and that was all right, and now is a ood time to swear ofi. Let us all uit picking at trim and making up tales on him. If we can't beat him for President without that let him be President. The great issue in the next race is not going to be the Ath ens postomce, but will be tanti re form. We are glad to see- our President traveling through the South, looking over his vast domain, and confine face to face with his subject. It is a compliment to him that he dares to come tnat so many 01 our srood people of" Cartersville, including wo men and children, met him at the de pot in spite of the rain and saluted him with smiles and cheers. There are some old-line whigs left yet who voted for his grandfather, and they give honor to the grandson. I wish that the Atlanta programme had given Jim Dunlap a little more time to express his old whig enthusiasm. He would have made a speech that Mr. Harrison would have remem bered with delight. I don't Jike to see a man like Jim Dunlap crowded by programmes. It takes room for him room for his person and his voce and his. great big leelings. Tha grand usher ought to have cried out, "Make way for Colonel Dun lap." The first vote he ever cast was for Old Tippecanoe. The whigs of his town mounted a little log.cabin on a great big wagon and paraded it through the streets, and Jim uumap sat on top 01 it witn a jug of cider between his knees and yelled so loud it made the windows m the houses rattle. He is an old line whig yet. William Henry liar- ' . . .11 1 rison was a very notaDie man, ama a rebel to the backbone, and a state's rights man. His father, old Benja mm, was one of the signers of the declaration of independence and the chairman of the committee that re ported it. For a long time he refus ed to agree to the constitution of 1788 because there was too much na tion in it and not enough states. They were all Virginians,, and I don't know how they strayed off, unless it was when William Henry ran away with Judge Symmes's daughter and settled down in Ohio. He was elected President on his fighting record. He was inaugura ted on the 4th of March and died on tne atn 01. April, and tnat was one reason why his grandson sorter claim ed the office so as to finish out his grandfather's term. But that is all he ought to claim. When his term is out we will retire him. The debt will be paid. I believe him to be a gentleman and a Christian, not be cause he looks like me, but on gen eral principles. His pedigree is good. He has been reporter of the Supreme Court and United States Senator. He entered the army as second lieutenant and fought his way up to a brigadier general. He is no 'little man," but somehow he don't suit our people.- Maybe he will like us better after he passes through the South, and then we will like him bet ter. That is characteristic of south erners. They like those who like them, and vice versa "Love your enemies and bless them that curse you" is a doctrine that strains their religion, so they won't try it. It is a big thing for a President to go will all over this vast domain and he courteously treated everywhere no guard, no soldiers to protect him, and yet no fears of assassins or rob bers or insults. The Czar can't do it, nor any King or Emperor in the old world. If no sane man took a crack at him, some crazy crank would. But here in the South even the President's political enemies take pleasure in doing him honor, and Asa Dunn, the big, stalwart, rebel lious conductor, swells up with im portance as he 'marshals his beautiful train and says, "Make way, make way for the President of the United States of North America, E. Pluribus Unum, Anno Domini, and so forth make way and clear the track, I say," Dick Hargis heralded Grov er Cleveland over the same line and it stretched him from six feet two inches, to six feet, four inches, and he wouldn't speak to Sanford Bell for a week, although Sanford was the oldest conductor on the road. Our preacher told us last Sunday that when a man said hard things of another through mistake, or without just cause, he ought to take it back and make the amende honorable as soon as possible, Then we have all got a great deal to take back, politi cally and otherwise. It is a good time for us to begin now. Not long ago I wrote disparingly of Dutch Fork, in South Carolina. Of course, I had nothing against the Dutch or the Fork, but was illustrating an an ecdote, and I told the story as a preacher told it to me. But I , have received a letter from Dutch Fork a good letter from a gentleman, and he says that it is all a mistake and that a better people cannot be found, and they live well and are prosperous and he encloses the average bill of fare that I will find on most every ta ble. Well, of course I take it all back. My friend made a mistake or else I misunderstood him. It was some other fork, or it was a long time ago when Uncle Simon Peter was a boy, and the people have changed since he left there. As the fellow said about the mosquitoes, "they are not very bad here, but a little lower down you'll catch "em." And lately I wrote about the refuse tobacco of Winston being shipped to Durham as a Winston man told me, and it was to be made into cigarettes for the boys, and was first ground up and saturated with New England rum. A Durham tobacco gentleman has taken offense, and denies the allegation and denies the allegator. Well, of course I take back the spittoon part, but as he does not deny the rum I will let that stand. He knows .he can't deny that, and if he thinks there is no scandal in manufacturing rum-soaked cigarettes for the boys of this coun try to smoke, his moral nature is pretty well cauterized. The doctors have unanimously pronounced it a slow poison, and almost invariably leads to drunkenness. The law makers have passed laws prohibiting the sale to minors. The courts and the police are doing their utmost to suppress it. The preachers and teachers have become alarmed at the prevalence of this vice among the boys, but the manufacturers do not care as long as they make their mil lions out of it. It reminds me of my trip through Tennessee the other day. "where everybody seems to be so rich?" "This is Robinson county," said my friend, "where they make so much whiskey. Its manufacture has made this country rich, but has made thousanns and thousands of people poor all over the land. This ends the amende honorable up to date. I have not heard from the Key West cigar man yet. Bill Arp. What it Costs Must be carefully considered by the great majority of people, in buying even necessities of life.

IX- Senator Vance is Pledged to do His Best to Secure the Objects of the Financial Ke forins Contemplated in the Ocala Plat form. It will be remembered that in the interview with Senator Vance, pub lished in the Advance last week, he says he is not instructed to support the Sub-Treasury bill particularly. That is our understanding. Some of the papers in the State are trying to question this. As soon as this was seen Mr. W. S. Barnes, State Secretary, wrote to the State Chroni- cfe as follows : I see there seems to be some mis understanding among some of the newspapers and politicians 01 tia; State as to what was "contemplated in the Ocala platform of financial retorm" and whether that platform in any way touches the "Sub-Treasury bill." For their information I enclose the following clipping taken, from page 33 sixth days proceedings of the Ocala Convention, during consideration of the report of the committee on Demands : Whereas, There is now- a bill Bill in Means known as the Sub-Treasury the hands of the Ways and Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives which should have been re wrted and acted upon at the last ses- l" 1 1 1 1- . 1 sion, ana which 11 enacted into law Id bring the financial relief so much needed by all classes and in dustries: Therefore, be it Resolved, That this National Convention of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union do most re spectfully and earnestly ask that said bill be enacted into law as soon as possible, or some other measura that will carry out these principles and meet the necessities of the toiling masses. Adopted bv a risingT vote, four votes being cast against it. I hope this will satisfy all doubts on this question. Last week's Progressive Farmer said, editorially, and this is our idea exactly : "Senator Vance told a reporter the other dav that he understood that he had been instructed by the North Carolina legislature to support the plan of financial reform contem plated by the Ocala Convention, and not any particular bill. I his is our erstanding of the matter also. So far at we know, there has never been any disposition in the Alliance to embarrass Senators and Repre sentatives with particular bills. The Alliance demands certain objects at the hands of legislation, and it is willing to leave men in Congress free to embody those objects'in such leg islation as may be wisest. Here is the resolution of instruc tion as passed by the last Oeneral Assembly. So it seems that the sit uation is perfectly clear and plain, and the riwressive rarmer exactly right : That our Senators in the 51st and S2tl Congress of the United States be and they are hereby in structed and our Representatives are requested to vote for and use all honorable means to secure the ob jects of the financial reforms contem plated in the platform adopted by the Ocala meeting of the Farmers' Alliance, held December, 1890." Perhaps it will be of interest to know just what the Ocala platform does demand. Here are the de mands : 1. We demand the abolition of national banks ; we demand that the government shall establish Sub Treasuries or depositories in the sev eral States which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 per cent, per annum on non-perishable farm products, and also upon real estate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of land and amount ot mon- ev : we demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily increased to not less tban so per capita. 2. We demand that Congress shall pass such laws as shall effectu ally prevent the dealing in futures in all agricultural and mechanical pro ductions ; preserving a stringent sys tem of procedure in trials such as shall secure the prompt conviction and imposition of such penalties as shall secure the most perfect com pliance with the law. 3. We denounce the silver bill recently passed by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the free and unlimited coinage of silver. 4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting alien ownership of land, and that Congress take prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by " aliens and foreign syndicates, and that all lands now held by railroad and other cor porations in excess of such as is act ually used and needed by them, be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of eqnal rights to all and special privil eges to none, we demand that our na tional legislation shall be so in the future as not to build framed up one industry at the expense of another. We further demand a removal of the existing heavy tariff tax from the necessaries of life that the poor of our land must have. We further demand a just and equitable system of graduated tax on incomes. We believe that the money of the coun try should be kept as much as pssi ble in the hands of the people and hence we demand that all revenues shall be limited to the necessary ex penses of the government economi cally and honestly administered. 6. We demand the most rigid, honest and just State and national governmental control and supervis ion of the methods of public com munication and transportation, and if this control and supervision do not remove the abuse now existing, we demand the government ownerhip of such means ot communication and transportation. ADVICE TO GIKLS. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Dear Editor : Would you ob ject to me giving the readers of your valuable paper a quiet chatting this evening? Well, girls you must listen. We had quite an episode en acted in our church last Sunday, and during services, at that. But I will commence at the beginning and not start in the middle of my story. Say about sixteen years ago a tiny girl was the pride and joy of its mother's heart and oh fond mother, the anx ious loving care you bestowed on your child none but a mother can know. How mother watches her bud of promise, its little mind ex panding ! She strove to plant good seeds there, That would bloom and bring forth fruit so fair. 'Twould a light in her mind ever be, To show her the wrong always to see. Garlands bright of love she wove ; For her child's purity she strove, And hope, like a beaming star, lllum'd her thoughts from o'er the bar. But the time for proof did come To tell the mother what the child had done. Mother, for the tearful pains you've borne Mother, for the truthful seeds you've sown, Thy child no longer looks to you For help, to guide her through Temptations wily ways. Fr another love untried and new She left dear ones tried and true, And went from her home away On God's holy Sabbath day, With her loved ones by her side. ("No wonder to me they cried," When contrary to their will, She went off and married Bill,) And left them there in church ; Methinks she cared not much Their feelings to allay. And now dear girls every one of you I hope understand the lesson I wish to impress upon your minds. Be truthful and honest, respectful and courageous to do what is right. "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." Plenty of time to get married in. Besides an old maids fife is, generally speaking, far more pleasant than some men's wives' lives are. I mean no disrespect whatever to the couple mentioned above. Indeed if they be like most young people they will like to see their marriage in the paper. Well girls I may tell you more by and by. Mrs. Ella Thompson. La Grippe Again. During the epidemic of La Grippe last season Dr. King's New Discov ery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best reme dy. Reports from the many who used it confirm this statement.

HAS HE CHANGED; HE I1T NOT TALK TIMS WAY IN WII. SON. lien Terrell Speaks in Statesville unit Plain Joe Caldwell Falls to t'nilerstand Him He Asks Some Ouestions---They Should he Answered Will nro. Cade do it ? Monday of last week Ben Terrell spoke in States ville. He has chang ed very much since he was here. He was all all that the Landmark" heard he was in Wilson. Here is the way he impressed the accomplished edi tor of the Landmark : Editor. Mr. Ben. Terrell, who comes ac credited asthe Alliance orator of Texasftas been in this State for sotne'weeks and filled an anooint- t here Monday. He has been reported by the press of the State as Tt conservative speaker, an instructor whose instruction could not be other wise than beneficial to the farmers a calm reasoner, a dispassionate pa triot, a fair man, and all that. Mr. Terrell did not sustain this character here. He is not a calm reasoner, a dispassionate patriot nor a fair man. His manner and his speech were extremely offensive to people out side the Alliance. He came not with peace but with the sword He evidently did not desire to add to the membership of the Alliance nor to make friends for the order, for he in dulged himself chiefly in reckless assertion and insolent demand. Thus, for instance, he took one plank after another of the Democrat ic platform, laid it down as if it were spmething entirely new, then shook his fist at all theworld ajid demand ed that everybooy should subscribe to things that everybody here' had subscribed to before he was ever heard of. He eloquently denounc ed the acknowledged evils that are to come from the alien and corpor ate ownership of land, but did not tell how Cleveland had vacated one unearned land grant after another. He said that the whole course of legislation for twenty-five years had been opposed to the interests of the farmers, but did not tell who had en acted this legislation or who had op posed it. He did not say one word about the last Congress having ap propriated one billion dollars, nor raise his voice against the pension steal. His evident purpose was to dissatisfy the people with the exist ing order of uiings, without indica ting to them who or what had brought the present evils about or giving any clear idea of the remedy for them. He denounced corporate power in such way as to leave the impression that every man outside the Alliance was in sympathy with the corporations as against the peo ple, and addressed monopolists as if the house were full of them. 1 his is w hy we say the manner of his speech was most offensive. It was almost such as to make men reject the doc trines which they had preached and practiced all their lives. Mr. Terrell hammered on the Sub Treasury nonsense at considerable length and with as much earnestness as if he believed in it. W e wish we coukl have under stood him as to the Alliance as a po litical force, but on this point he was to deep for us. He said that every candidate who expected Alliance support must come to the Alliance demands otherwise the Alliance would beat him, but still the order as such is not political and cannot be. This declaration was thoroughly uncanchd. 1 he Alliance is either a political party or it 5 is not ; it , either allows its members freedom of politi cal action or it does not. Now which ? Who is authorized to speak for the order and will do it honestly ? Is an Allianceman allowed to vote for an anti-Sub-Treasury candidate or is he not ? Is he allowed to vote for an anti-free coinage candidate or is he not ? In other words, is he al lowed to be a Democrat and an Alli anceman both, or must he either be one or the other ? If he is a Re publican, may he continue to be one and still be Allianceman, or must he lay down his Republicanism.? John B. Holman, Esq., is the President of Iredell county Alliance. We should like to know what he has to say about this matter a strolling lectur- er raises the issue but we dechne to accept his dictum. If the Demo cratic party refuses to accept the de mands of the Alliance that refusal, according to Mr. Terrell, , absolves the Democratic Allianceman from all further obligation to his party. Now is that so? If it is, that means the third party, for the Democratic par ty is not going to accept the Sub Treasury heresy. We hope to have a specific declaration from Mr. Hol man on this subject. Are Demo cratic Alliancemen going to continue to try their fortunes with the Demo cratic party, getting what they can get, or are they going to quit unless they can get from it all that they want? A clean, square, honest un derstanding about this matter is very much needed. As long as demands are in order we make this demand in the interest of honest politics. They are very much mistaken who have an idea that the Landmark has any interest in the success of the Demo cratic party apart from the- common interest. We are quite sure, that it is the best interest of the people that the Democratic party should control the State and the nation, but the Land mark can stand any sort of 'govern ment that anybody else can, and it is making its present inquiries, not in a partisan spirit but with a view to an honest understanding. Mr. Terrell has put the case as a choice between God and Baal. We are entitled to know how this is and we demand to know. Mr. Terrell says that the Al liance does not want every .ittle edi tor in its counsels nor every little pa per as an Alliance organ. We are not allowed, therefore, to go into the inner circle and confer with our Al liance friends who are Democrats as to what is best to be done for the public and the party interest. What we want to know then of Mr. Hol man and his associates of the inner circle is, whether if we of the outer circle of the party should be strong enough, in a Democratic county con vention, for instance, to overslaugh him and his inner circle, he and his inner circle will accept the situation as minorities in all ages have done and as we should do if beaten in a a fair trial of strength, or whether, after trying their fortunes with the Democratic party, and being defeat ed in their effort to engraft some new policy upon it, they would feel themselves free to repudiate the ac tion of the majority ? It is almost an insult to as good a Democrat and as honorable a gentleman as Mr. Hol man to ask him this question, but it is Mr. lerrellwho raises the issue, not the Landmark, and the public is entitled to know how the case stands. Returning to the more immediate subject, Mr. Terrell cut the members of the Alliance loose from their party allegiance but gave them iy place to go to. I ie gave them to understand that they are not to support any party that does not endorse all of their de mands, but told them that they coukl not nominate a ticket of their -own. So that if no party endorses all of their demands they are not to vote at all, we suppose. Deprecating prejudice, this speech was in large part an appeal to preju dice, and we very much fear that some of those for whom it was intended quit the court house hating their neighbors more than they had ever hated them before. So much for the effort of an accre dited representative of an order which started out as a non-political, frater nal association. We da not believe thaf.his speech, in its tone or details, was representa tive of the. Alliance sentiment of this county, nor do we intend to believe, unless forced to, that these sentiments find any general response in the hearts of our thoughtful, conservative, sober minded people. AS t'APT. ASHE SK ES 1 T. What it I he Sub-Treasury Plan i u Operation. (lad Beefi Ndwiet us suppose that the Sub Treasury had been in operation at the beginning of the season. The price of cotton was then ioS g cents. Suppose that the bulk of the cotton was withheld and only a small quan tity had been allowed to come for ward. The price would either have remained stationary or would have advanced. The mills would have cut down their consumption. Know ing that the crop was ample, they would have bought very sparingly. In the meantime the planters would be carrying their large crop, let us say at no particular charges or ex pense. But as the months passed and the business men who handled cotton realized that the crop was so far in excess of the needs of the mills that it could not be consumed before the new crop would come in, the price would have declined far below the present figure, and with the bulk of the crop still in the government depositories. When at last the far mers from necessity had to part with their certificates, instead of realizing 9f8 cents at New York, they would have to take what they could get, say about 6 or 7 cents a pound. This would leave them in debt to the government for their advances, be sides the loss of about 2 cents a pound on their cotton. News-Observer. Another Masked Lie.
