The Wilson Advance Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C, as second class mail matter. WILSON, N. C, - - Aug. 13, 1891. Senator Vance wiH make nine speeches in Ohio this fall. He never fails to respond to the calls made upon his time to battle against Re publicanism. The Republican editors of Illinois met in Chicago last week to tell the Execution Committee of their party how to conduct the campaign. Usual ly it is just the other way the com mittee has given instructions tq the organs. Farmer's Alliancemen, and anti lottery Democrats have formed an Alliance in Louisiana. The Fanner's Alliance will name the Governor, Treasurer, and Suoerintendeht of Education and the anti-lottery De mocrats the Lieut. Governor, Audi tor, Attorney General and Secretary of State. There must be tome smart shep in New Zealand. A fanner advertised for "an industrions man to lake charge of three thousand sheep who ould talk Spanish" It is quite evident to the casual reader that he marri .d the woman who announced that she 'could do all kinds of sewing and embroidery except music." The latest news from Raleigh is thai Capt. Ashe, of the Observer, and Dr. Kingsbury, of the Wilmington Messenger, had joined hands and in- tended to sit down upon sey, of the Progressive ting on a red-headed Mi Kam- aimer.

Have you noticed this in a Democratic paper recently ? Huron (Mich. ) Times, Rep. We have. Readers ol Democratic papers have noticed it frequendy for many months past. Long before the McKinley bill was dreamed of Democrats insisted that the reduction of the tarift on sugar, clothing and other manufac tured goods would reduce the price. They also insisted that to raise the tariff on wool would cheapen it, while to remove the tariff on wool would give the farmers a better price for it. Mr. McKinley has done the Demo cratic party a great kindness. He has demonstrated the correctness of Democratic ideas on the tariff. Perhaps it was because of this the North Carolina Republicans so hear tily endorsed Mr. McKinley and his work. And Perhaps not. SOME FACTS ABOUT KlhtttNG.

Men have died for woman's kisses, and men will continue to keep 1 r ii kt 1 up ure loousnne ;. imo one an blame old man Jacob for his share of the business, for Rachel "was beauti ful and well favoured." FOB GORMAN AND ft It A Y. Mr. J. S. Carr, though a solid bus : j ! ' uicaa uiau, imus time to engage 111 politics and has been a delegate at large to the last two Democratic Na tional Conventions. He mixes with the people of North Carolina. He is popular with them, and he knows what they are thinking about. He was in Washington City last w.ok, and, in an interview he spoke the sen timents of seven-eights of the Dem crats of this State. He said : "In my humble opinion the win ning ticket next time is Gorman and Gray, and I trust it will read that way. I would dearly love to see Mr. Gor man head the ticket, and the mere mention of his name awakens the greatest enthusiasm in North Caroli na. He can easily carry New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I have been a strong Cleveland man, but am as much against him now as I favor ed him in die past. "He needlessly interfered in the silver question, and when we were threatened with the odious force bill he had nothing to say in . ondemna tion. I hope this matter of silver will be out of the way before the convention meets, but my people are as heartily in favor of free coinage as reform of the tariff. As for the Alliance, I have nothing but tronrl will. Its members are good, honest people the backbone of our land. They should not go outside the Democratic party, for in it lies their hope of relief." Why Not? The News and Observer does not pose as a defender of the last assem bly. News and Observer. IK THE 8TATK. It is doubtful if the protective tariff movement which has been started in North Carolina makes much headway a a scheme to break up the Demo- cratic party, in the nrst place me time is inauspicious for drawing re cruits from that source, and in the second place any attempt to organize the Republieans in that State or any Southern State on am exclusively white basis must in the very nature of things prove a failure. For some reason or other the Re public m leaders have failed to im prove their Southern opportunities for a number of years past. Their policy has almost invaribly had the effect not only of solidifying the De mocracy, but of creating disaffections among the members of their own party. Every Republic n adminis tration since'the war ha been at serious fault in this respect. The same is in grat meas ure true of every Republican national committee, and as it is now too late, even if it e ver were practic able, to undermine Democra ticsupremacy by the coercive machinery of fores bills set is it also too late, we fear, to ac compltsh anything in this direction by appeals to the protection sentiment of the South, even with the sod ol "no negro admitted" thrownin. It. is a curious spectacle this at tempt of the North Carolina Repub licans to organize a party with which no colored men shall be, privileged to affiliate. Its effect must be to weaken the strength they aire ;dy have, and to alienate thousands of the very race who have hitherto helped to swell the Republican vote of the State. Wash ington Post The Post evidently "sizes up" the Asheville fiasco for what it is worth It evidently believes the demonstra tion was made toimpre' the Repub- li n Executive Campaign Committee to make them believe there was some chance of carrying North Caro lina for their party in 1802, in order that "boodle" might be freely turned loose here. s And the Post heads off the pro posed raid upon the Committee by throwing upon it the above hard, steely light of cold facts. Perhaps the Post is right. Certainly the spectacle is a curious one. 1 HI vk DEGENERATE TIMES. The meanest piece of villiany and scoundrelism we ever heard of has just been brought to light in Boston by the institution of a 1 libel suit for $50,000 damages against the Boston Herald, A Miss Hamm is the suitor She was employed by the New York Mail and Expr .?s, Elliot Shepherd's South -hating paper, to go to Bar Harbor and write articles concerning Secretary Blaine's bad health. He was to be kept sick in all her dis patches. She faithfully did tips dirty work and the Boston Herald charged her with being a liar, with never hav ing seen Mr. Blame, with consorting at Bar Harbor with' disreputable characters, and for this she brought 1 her suit. Miss Hamm admits having wntten the articles on Blaine's physi cal decay, but defends herself with the plea that she was under orders and only did as she was directed by the Mail and Express. The Washington Post says : "Miss Hamm is rather confusing in her explanations of the Blaine sen sation, but she claims that while ac ting as the accre dited representative ol the Mail and Express she received through that p ;per written mstruc tions from an attache and several members of the Republican national committee to keep Mr. Blaine sick by correspondence to certain stated papers at least until September. Why these instructions she does not know. but that the famous Mail and press dispatch was simply in Ex- con- lormity with her orders. She says she possesses her authority, and also letters of introduction to Mr. Blaine, which she honored. She knows. Mr. Blaine is not sick, but as well'as he has ever been during the past ten years." This is the perfection of villiany. When the leaders ot a party that has had Lincoln for its leader can sit down and concoct and execute a plan 01 such a despicable and damnable char acter it is time to cry, "Oh, these degenerate days." The Harrison contingent are de termined to have the President re nominated. To do so Mr. Blaine must be taken off the available list for he stands at the head. The dev ilish plan is tormulated and the at tempt made. The newspaper that lent its aid to such a plot deserves the ev erlasting contempt of all people. But nothing better eould be ex pected from the blatant sheet presid ed over by that pretensive saint, El liot Shepherd, Vanderbilt's son-in-law, to whom the ethics of journalism is a sealed book. NKWBBKKi That is the way to spell it. ' Let's all remember . it The Advance will try to. If we aretcaught nap ping some observant subscriber will please call us to task. The Executive Cornmitte on prop er names of the United States Geo logical Survery have decided to spell it "Newbern." The Clerk of the Board wrote to Mr. W. H. Oliver I'KOTtfCTTON ftj north about the name. Mr. Oliver's re ply, as a matter of history, is worthy of a careful reading. It is as follows: "From the earliest information that I can obtain up to the year 1862 the name of the town was spelled Newbern. The name under which it was chartered was Newberne. I send you a bound copy of the Acts of the General Assembly published in 1693. By reference to it you will see the laws passed by the General Assembly which was then held at Newberne, N. C, while under King George the Hand King George III In numerous places, in fact all over the book, reference is made to the town of Newberne, N. C. One among the very first acts is in regard to Newbern, N. C, dating back to 17 1 5. I send you a copy of the charter ot the town of Newbern, chartered by act of General Assembly in 1722. A number of amendments' have been made but no change has legally been made in spelling New bern. Newbern was settled and named in .1710. Incorporated 1723 "I send vou a coov of the Acts of the General Assembly held at Eden . J t J ton, N. C, George I, the 23rd day of November, 1723: Whereas a cer tain plot of ground was formerly laid out into a township by the name 01 Newbern, same is declared, confirmed, and incorporated into a township by the name of Newbern." In 1S66, General Assembly of North Carolina: That the corporation heretofore ex isting as the town of Newbern, shal hereafter be established and knowr as the City of Newbern. "Refer to Hawks' report, Suprem Court of North Carolina, case Vesti of the Protestant Episc opal church o Newbern vs. Trustees Newbern Ac idemy, argaed by Wil'iam C ston and John Stanly, all through the case it is Newbern. fudge Gaston and Mr. 'Stanly doubtless knew the legal name of it. A large number ol the old citizens have always continued ti spell it Newbern. In 1862 Newbern was captured by the forces under General Burn- side. At the capture nearly all the citizens left and the town for thr years was in the hands of the U. S troops : a large number ot persons came to Newbern duriiur the war and went into business. The post office, and every office both town and county, the banks, the newspaper were a'l in the hands of the e who had recendy settled here. The stamps- at the poiitoffice were at this time changed from Newbern to New Berne, the newspaper was headed New-Berne, the city and county of ncers an spenea it iew-ierne. 1 nis change was made by comparative straneers without a scintilla ol law or authority." so it wui toe seen that lor many years no other spelling but" Newbern' was known, so the change is only the correction of a lonr stand' ne error SOME GOOD, CUEAI- ADVICE. It Costs Vou Nothing und Dollars. May Sam Yon Messrs. A. Sprunt & Son, f Wil mington, N. C, who as cotton ex porters have attained to credit and renown throughout the commercial circles of the world, and who arc- thoroughly posted in the minutia of the business, have recently issued an open circular to - otton planters that contains much wise counsel and im portant information concerning the : . 1 1 : . 1 1 1 , g lowing crop anu now 11 snouiu oe handled in getting it ready for the market. If our farmer friends, readers The Argus, in this section, wh name is legion, anu most Ol wnom are cotton growers of many acres, will follow Mcssers. Sprunt & Soil's pal paDiy souna aavice we teei quite sure it will redound to their advantage The circular reads as follows : 117 & T J WILMINGTON, IN. K., Aug. I, or Lear air : 1 ne accumulation 01 low grade cotton has overstocked the markets of the world, and this sur plus will probably have to be sacri heed at extremely low pnees. On the'pther hand, the supply of good cotton is quite limited, and there is always a market for the better grades. It is, therefore, a matter of the utmost importance to our friends, the plan ters, that extraordinary care be taken in handling the next crop. The greatest precaution should be taken to pick the cotton only when it is perfectly dry avoiding stained and sandy cotton, which would Ije most carefully kept separate from the bet ter qualities. Then exercise care in setting the gin saws, so as to avoid cutting the staple, and when packed, see that no gin-falls, inferior cotton, sand nor water! is permitted in the baling. This preparation will insure a ready sale at the best current prices while the neglect of these precautions will probably cause a loss of from five to ten dollars per bale to the farmer upon every bale he produces. Hitherto many of our planters could 'not afford to take the easier course Ind gin good, bad and indif ferent cotton together, but as the in dications peint to ruinous prices for medium, and inferior grades next se ason, it behooves every cotton pro ducer to exercise the utmost care in preparing his crop for market. We trust that our friends to whom this letter is addressed will appreciate our motive in offering this advice for their benefit, and that they will cir culate it among their neighbors.

Washington Post 1 a A North Carolinian Abroad Big Minds to Assemble We Vote for Washington The Muddled Condition of National Finances Due to Fo iter's 'Doctoring" Resigna tions, etc, (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE). Washington, August 9th, 91. Mr. Tisdel, one of the accredited agents of this country to South Amer ica in the interest ot the world's hair, is in the city after an extended tour through various South American countries. He tells me that Lieut. Leinly, U. S. A., and a native of Salem, N. C, has a fine military s':ool at Bogota, that he recently Si 1 a month with him, and that he is dona very. well. Mr. lisdel speaks in high terms of our fellow -citizen who tills a very important position with satisfaction to the people of the Unit- .1 States of Columbia, S. A. Next week the scientists will begin to gather in city and for the following ten davs every tra:n will bring fresh accessions to the number of notable men who are coming from all parts of the country. The event that bnngs them is the meeting of he American A .sociation for the advancement ot Science. This is the great scientific body of the country and its annual meetings are always occasions ot it interest. The first session ot the Association will not be held till the 1 8th instant, but during all next week there will be meeting of affiliat- J societies. The members of these societies belong to the general asso ciation, and as a matter of conveni ence it is arranged to hold the annual meetings about the same time as that of the general association. The first ot these societies to convene is the American Microscopical Society which will begin a four days' session next Tuesday at the medical department of the Columbian University on H. street. Washington has secured the Grand Army Em -mpment, for next year. There is a movement on foot to hold one of the National Nominating Con ventions here. H. V. Boynton, the Nestor of the Press Corp here, and a man 01 wiae innuence anu uuoriua r 1 n 1 : l tion, speaking oq the subject says : inere is no reason why Wash ingtdn should not capture the nation al convtnt-on in the same manner he did the Grand Army en mp meat, bo tar as beauty ana interest mg associations are concerned Wash' int'ton is head and shor'ders above all competitors. In the .natter of ac commodations I am of the opinion that the c.ty could attend to the crowds in a much superior manner to sever- il c-.ties which have had the honor ot entertaining national convennons The hotel accommodations here are large and in the matter of boarding houses the expansibility is almost un limited. 'A national onvention here would not have to contend with a bitterly partisan pre. 3, as has been the case in some places. The Washington Press, in my opinion, would be fair without booming or decrying any especial candidates. The only ob jection which can be brought against Washington, and that an objection in my opinion, e :nnot stand tor one moment, is the plea which would probably be used that with Congress in session and the President here an administration bias would be given This objection, however, would have little practical foundation. In my opinion the administration would not if it could, and could not, if it would, influence a convention held in Wash ington any more than it could a con vention held a thousand miles from here. I see no practical reason why a strong effort should not bring one or both of the conventions to this city." The offer of the Treasury Depart ment to the holders of 4 per cent, bonds, to exchange these obligations lor new bonds bearing 2 per cent, will, it is believed at the Treasury, be very generally accepted. One-half of the national banks have notified the department that they will make the exchange, and $1 1 ,000,000 of the -3,000,000 held by the banks has been sent in for this purpose. A number of individual holders have also forwarded bonds for exchange. The Controller of the Currency be lieves that all the banks will accept the new bonds. He explains the ap parant delay in sending in bonds for exchange by the fact that the bank officers are now generally absent on vacation, and he has no doubt that upon returning they will decide to ac cept the lower-rate bonds. The AlA per cents, will be due and paya ble on the 1st of September, after which interest on them will cease. The amount outstanding on Aug. 1st was $50,868,200, of which the banks held nearly $24,000,000. In a num ber of instances banks have notified the Controller of a purpose to increase their present circulation, and bonds for this purpose have been sent to the Treasurer, Some of these notifica tions have come from banks in New York, Philadelphia, and other eas tern cities. During the last two months there has been an increase of $5,000,000 in the amount of bonds held to secure the circulating notes of national banks, which represents an increased circulation of $4,5000, 000. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is now engaged in printing national bank notes to meet this in creased issue. The New York Times, one of the best infonned of the met ropolitan papers on finance has this to say of Secretary Foster's recent doctored official reports from the Treasury Department : "The presentation of $155,000,000 as available, when the amount appli cable at this time for payment of the public debts is not to exceed $15,000,000 may not appearpike hid ing, but it might, without fear of con tradiction, be referred to as delusive, as it probably intended to be. 'The President, Mr. John Jay Knox, and two or three gentlemen in New York, who are interested in seeing the Administration make as good a showing as possible under hard circumstances, are quoted as approving the new form of statement, and it is understood that the Presi dent takes to himself a great deal of credit for his part in getting out a form of statement that is believed to , be sufficient to humor the demand for OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. statement without revealing the straits to which extravagance has brought the Treasury in carrying out the legislation of an extravagant party. " It is not difficult for any Adminis tration to find bankers willing to iielp it out of trouble, and the present Administration has not lacked this useful sort of friend. There would have been no change in the state ment if the condition of the Treasury had been as comfortable as it was two years ago." General Clarkson the new Chair man of the Republican National Committee went to Cape May yester day in response to a request from the President. A dLpatch from Cape May "to-day co- eys the following significant information : "The object of Clarkson's visit is ostensibly purely social, and such it is held to be about the hotels and among the cottagers but despite the social features, politics forms the arger part of the conversations be-. tween the Chairman and the Presi dent. The President is visibly per turbed over the condition of the Na tional Executive Committee, and his invitation to Clarkson to visit him here was for the purpose of learning if possible the attitude of the commit tee toward Secretary Blaine and himself. Clarkson has all along been known as a blame man. un his ar rival at the President's cottage, Gen. Clarkson was met in the reception room by Gen. Harrison. After a hearty hand shake the two went to the President's study, where they were closeted together in earnest conversation. Alter leaving the study, Gen. Clarkson met the ladies of the President s household, alter which he and the President took a drive together. No one accompanied them, and their talk during the drive was devoted to politics. The rresi dent, it is said. u-s very anxious to know what the attitude of the Execu tive Committee would be toward him next year. Just what the outcome of this conference with Gen. Clarkson was no one can learn. The Presi dent, however, was not in a very good humor when a c orrespondent called upon him to inquire about Gen. Clarkson s visit. Gen. Clarkson has denied himself to all reporters, refused to be seen, and will answer no questions. On the return from the drive the President and Gen. Clarkson spent the remain der of the afternoon on the veranda of the cottage, chatting with the ladies, and playing with the McKee babic :. Russell Harrison arnvf a at 6 o'clock, and immediately after the party went to supper. When the President was asked, alter supper, whether he had any conference with Gen. Clarkson on political matters he appeared to think the question an impertinent one, and said, very frig idly : " 'You cannot interview me on any question of any kind, and I refuse to be Questioned on all matters. Good night, sir.' "Postmaster General Wanamaker arrived this afternoon, and is at his cottage at the Point." Wanamaker now says he wont re sign. The Democrats hope he will abide by this decision. As long as he is Postmaster General the House of Representatives can institute a thorough investigation as regards his connection with the Keystone Bank: This is just what the Democratic party desires. The resignation of Secretary Noble was talked about and was virtually decided on because Noble told the President he cou'd not get on with Raum, &c, &c. Harrison seems to have smoothed matters over. At any rate Noble s'ems now inclined either to postpone or retract his resignation. A North Carolinian remarked apro pos the unfavorable comments on the election ol a non-North Carolina Professor of Latin at the University "Learning is not provincial. When Mr. Jefferson founded the great Uni versity of Virginia many of the profes sors were from other countrr 5. He urged and secured the appointment of the best men. That University has never been less a local institution because it was made superior to small prejudices. I am aware that the . 1.1 . .1 gentlemen wno take tne otner view are actuated by the best motives and I cheerfully concede to them the largest latitude in exprer.ion. But ought not the action of the Trustees to be approved ? How many out of all the accomplished latinists in a graduating class are prepared to te.;ch the language in a University ? And if there are men in North Caro Una who could fiH the chair accepta bly, do we know that their claims were presented ?" RAILROAD NOTES. The Fast Mall on the Atlantic Coast Line Thelftayettevllle Short Cut. The Weldon, N, C, correspondent of the Richmond Times says : The report which was current a short time ago that the fast mail train over the Atlantic Coast Line would soon be discontinued seems to be without foundation. " A. gendeman well in formed in this matter, by virtue ot his official connection with the road in formed your correspondent the sole reason why the Postoffice Depart ment ever considered the advisability ofdiscontinueing this mail service was that the depleted Treasury demand ed the curtailment of every px;ible expense. There is no truth in the report that the Richmond & Dan ville system had underbid the Atlan tic Coast Line. The train will be run unr'l Congrei.; meets. The de partment has reduced the subsidy to the Coast Line by one-third, and showed a disposition to make a still further reduction, but has not yet done so. It is reported here now that the Coast Line will not begin to run its hrough trains over the Fayetteville short-cut in two years. It was at one time expected that the connecting link of road would be completed this month, but Owing to the scarcity of labor the work is almost at a stand still. Take ! Take !

Polk disappointed some 3,500 people at Rocky Mount last week by not addressing them according to appointment. Capt. S. B. Alexan der, Col. Harry Skinner and Capt. E. A. Thome spoke. The speaking took place at the falls, one mile from Rocky Mount, from a platlorm erected under the shadows of giant oaks. The hum of thousand of spindles and the roar of falling waters sang a lullaby to the eloquent words of patriotic speakers. The editor of the Advance was present. He was too unwell to at tempt, on such a warm day, a synop sis of the speeches. Capt. Alexander spoke first, forfan hour and a half. He discussed Alliance doctrines and threw some light upon the banking system of this country. He was fol lowed by Col. Harry Skinner, of Pitt country, who spoke for two hours. Col. Skinner is the originator of the present Sub-Treasury plan, and he does not hesitate to advo te it. He is also a good Democrat and be lieves his party will grant all the re lief demanded by the farmers. He believed the sub-Treasury plan con stitutional and practicable. The gov ernment was responsible for many acts more paternal. Col; Skinner is a suave, forceful, eloquent speaker. He made many friends by his manly, conservative, straight-forward speech, and was trequently applauded. At the conclusion ot his speech dinner was announced and the large crowd assembled around long tables loaded down. There was harbecued shoat, and bar becued lamb, There was biscuit, and bread, aad pick les, and jam ; There was hash and fried chicken, and fried chicken wings, And coffee, and cakes, and pies and things. And everybody ate a plenty. After dinner it was announced that Col. Polk had failed to arrive and Capt. E. A. Thorne, district lecturer talked to the gathering. The choir of young ladies from Rocky Mount aud vicinity, led by Mr. Ben Spiers, sang very 'sweetly and with spirit. Wonderful Growth. Since last addressing you, as Pres ident of the State Alliance, it has been my great pleasure to watch the healthy growth of our Order, and the rapid development of the principles we have inculcated. On the 20th of April, 1887, the first Sub Alliance was organized at Ashpole, in Robe son county. Just a year later there were 727 Sub-AHianc . Daring the second year the growth was such that April 20th, 1889, there were 1,654 Sub-Alliances. April 20, 1890 there was still further gain, so the number wss 2,062. On our last an niversary, the ground being effectual- ly covered by the thorough organi zation of every county, it was not a matter of surprise that the inc se was less, showing a total number of 2,221 Subordinate organizations with a membership of 100,000.

About ten days ago the president of the Sugar Kenning I rust Company was called away from the city by the illness of his father, F. C. Ha emver. While away the sugar trust maintained the price for granulated sugar, but Claus Spreckles, who had been keeping his rates up to that charged by the trust, at once an nounced a reduction of 1-16 of a cent per pound. He cut sei . ously in to the trade of the Sugar T ast, but no action to meet the cut was taken as 11 was rjcuevea tnat as soon as Spreckles' supply was placed he would retire from the market. He kept on fillingjorders, however, prac ticilly supplied the demand. 7. ii Yesterday President Havemeyer returned and at once ordered the Sugar Trust price for granulated su gar reduced yic, which is i-i6c be- ow the cut made by Spreckels. The atter to-day made another reduction, onnging the pnee 1-1 6c below the price asked by the Trust. The reductionsjnade bnng the pnee for granulated sugar down to 4c per pound in Philadelphia, on which 2 per cent is allowed off, making the net cash price 3.92c, the lowest on record. The price made by the Su gar Trust is 4 i-i6c. In August, 1889, after the formation ot the trust, sugar sold at 8c per pound. A cunous feature in the fight is that in the raw sugar market both parties are urgent buyers, and the Sugar Trust to-day bought raw sugar at 3 5-16 cents.
