used to take an old rubber shoe and

then finish it with yarn that was

Our good mothers furnished every

was curious to hear the various opin

listened patiently to all and then
made a speech for himself, and said
that the children should have more
time to go home and get a good
warm dinner. "Cold dinners," said
he. "are unhealthy. The law's of

hygiene teach us that the processes
of dieesfton are much more easily
carried when the food is warm and
fresh from the oven. More than
half of the pupils take their dinners
to school shut up in tin buckets or
wrapped up in baskets, and they get
cold and clammy, and are crammed
into the stomach in a hurry, and the
children go to plaving before diges
tion begins, and of course the stom
ach rebels and won't do its work, and
after school is out they go home and
cram in a lot of cake and jelly and
pickle on top of the cold undigested
dinner, and the first thing you know

at home a day or two to recuperate.
I am decidedly in favor of a longer

PROPRIETOR

Wilson, N. C,
An important conference of the
Farmers' Alliance members of the
House was held here last niidit. The
conference considered the financial
situation, including the matter of
silver legislation. After some dis
cussion a bill prepared by Represen
tative Livingston, of Georgia, was
with some modification, adopted
unanimously, and will be introduced
in the House at the first opportunity.
The bill provides as follows :
"The Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized and directed upon the
demand of any State, expressed
through its Governor, to issue to it
full legal tender notes of the govern
ment of like denominations as the
Treasury notes now issued and in
circulation, and non-interest bearing.
These notes aft; not to exceed in
amount $30 per capita of the popula
tion of the State as expressed in the
census preceding the demand.
'"The State . making a demand for
the notes is to deliver to the becre
tarv of the Treasury its lawful bonds
to the full amount of government
notes demanded, and such bonds are
to be taxable at 1 per cent per
annum, said tax to be covered into
the United States .Treasury on or
before the 1st day of April of each
year. The bonds are to fall due at
the expiration of twenty years. It is
provided, however, that the State
taking advatage of the act shall have
the right to turn over to the becreta

three long and weary years, and car
ried my dinner in a bucket, and how
I enjoyed those cold dinners that my
good mother so carefully prepared
and how I had often tried to write
a ooem tb that little tin bucket such
a noem as Woodworth wrote about
"The old oaken bucket that hung in
the well." Mv poem began just like
his, but always ended with
That dear little bucket,
That bright, shining bucket,
That lje tin bucket I carried to school.
Oh those delightful cold dinners
that were so nicely arranged ! The
tender and luscious fried chicken, with
the liver and gizzard and all; the
hard-boiled eggs, with the litte paper
of salt and pepper close by ; the home
made sausages, linked sausages, that,
it at any time beiore tne
bonds fall due, or in lieu of the gov
ernment notes the State may redeem
the bDnds with lawful money, and
when such notes are paid into the
Treasuary they are to be destroyed.
"Each State through its legislative
department is to provide for the dis
tribution of the government notes
issued upon securities furnished by
it on such terms as the Legislature
may deem best for the welfare of the
inhabitants
There were between twenty-five and
thirty members of the House present
and Mr. Livingston says there are a
number ot other members who will
support the measure.
The silver situation was discussed
but no conclusion was reached.
Washington Post, 3rd.
Many of the best Federal offices
have been given to colored men. Of
this we do not complain. It is per
haps but'simple justice. But in dis
tributing these.. tavors tne preferences
and sensibilities of white Republicans
as well as of the white people gener
ally, have been ignored and despised.
The administration has been misled
by the advice of unscrupulous politi
cians with whom honorable men will
not affiliate. White Republicans
feel, while admitting the justice of
recognizing all elements in the dis
tribution of party rewards, that they
should not be humiliated by the
appointment of black men whose
conduct makes them offensive to the
white people of their communities.
Until recently indeed in all the
contests of the past in this State the
colored people have been disposed to
invite the leadership of white men
whose characters and qualities com
manded the repect, even though
they invited the hatred and persecu
tion, of their opponents. But now
the tendency is towards the elevation
of the most corrupt negro elements
to the control of the party in the
black counties. This policy establish
ed, the party becomes in eastern
North Carolina simply a negro party,
comprising not all the colored peo
ple but controlled by the most
ignorant and vicious and corrupt
elements of that race. Indeed, it lias
so rapidly approached this condition
already that there is scarcely a pre
cinct in the black belt where you can
find active .white Republicans enough
to obtain even the semblance ol a
fair election. Democratic fraud, flag
rant, prevailing and triumphant, has
made elections a mockery and govern
ment a usurpation.
''From this dismal outlook there is
but one escape, and that is to so man
age Republican policy as to invite a
break in the now substantially solid
white vote.
If the white Republicans and
many of the best colored man, who
will follow them, shall vigorously
advocate the policy of non-action, oi
ceasine to contend aeainst the white
people for the control of negro com
munities but of holdinsf to the
principles of the party and of sup
porting itscandidates, when worthy,
in national affairs, the result may be
that we can get our votes counted
in Federal elections, the negro vote
be sought for by contending white
factions and, as a conssquence, there
may follow a better recognition of
their civil rights and better protection
of their persons and property ; and
ultimately we may witness the. read
justment of politics on lines other than
that 01 race and color. We appeal
to the colored people to adopt this
policy and thereby defeat the schemes
of Democratic leaders who seek to
solidify the whites by pointing to the
solidity of the blacks, and certain
noisy negroes who seek to drive
white men out of the party.
We advise that the better elements
of the colored people will not follow
incapable and corrupt agitators in
contending against the white people
for local supremacy. But let it be
understood that we are Republicans
as we have been through all the years
of disaster and defeat. Our adherence
to the fundamental principles of
Republicanism cannot be weakened
by the conduct of corrupt and venal
upstarts who want to keep honest
men out of the party We are
Republicans because we believe in
national allegiance and national
sovereignty, because we look not to
the State but to the Great Republic
as our country, because we believe in
protecting our own industries against
foreign competition, because we hope
for free and fair elections, for popular
education by national aid, for the
So a man has the grjt to "get
there" honorably in the battle of
i life, it makes no difference whether
he has "blue blood" in his veins or
not and sensible people will not ask
the question. Durham Sun.
Referring to the Republican pro
nunciamento, published elsewhere
in this issue, the Asheboro Courier
says : "It will deceive no one. The
veil of hypocrisy is too thin. They
would like to lull Democrats into a
sense of security and then walk in
and capture the lort. But they will
not succeed. It is an old game which
the Republicans have attempted be
fore without success, and we feel sure
the white people will be on the alert
and stand shoulder to shoulder for
white supremacy."
The Public Ledger believes that
the Democratic party should say to
the aristocratic lords of creation, and
lords of wealth, that dwell in this
free country of ours, gentleman we
are willing to recoginze your rights
as citizens, but not as aristocrats, ;
autocrats or money Kings", and as
our party is of, and from the people,
we intend to represent that party and

the Democratic party administered
the public affairs of our State wisely
and economically ? The President
of the State Alliance explicitly ad
mitted this in his official address at
the last annual meeting, held at
Morehead City, and expressly stated
that "our auarrel is not with the
State government, which has ever
been mindful of ourn ecessities." Why
then should any Democratic Alliance
man try to over throw our Demo

The policy advised by the North
State is masterly inactivity, at least
until all the conventions shall have
been held. We do not quote the above
the address of the Rep. Committee
to indorse or take issue but that
our readers may know the drift
of public.especially Rep.bpinion. If the
course indicated should be deemed
expedint by the convention it may
change the entire political situation
in North Carolina. The resolution
evidently emanated from Judge
Russell, and as we have said he is
ne of the braniniest men in the
south. Thus early some of the
factions in the Republican party have
commenced their contentions can
they be recouciled ? Can we present
a solid front to the divided enemy
Can we get leaders and an executive
committee in whom the party and
people have confidence ? These are
questions every" Republican should
ask himself, and if they cannot be
answered affirmatively we cannot
reasonably axpect to tak; advantage
of the divisions in the Democratic
party or to achieve success. If an
affirmative answer be given the out
look for Republican success is better
than it has been in twenty years.

etables of every description this
spring.
R. H. Morse, Charlotte's prohibi
tion crank, as the Observer calls him,
has issued circulars offering a reward
of a hundred dollar monument to
"any minister, or church, or Y. M.
C. A. member who will prove by the
Bible that any one can be loyal to
Christ and vote the Republican or
Democratic or any ticket that will
pretect the liquor license."
Here is an interesting itenclipped
from the Marion Free Lance : "There
is in this county a terrapin which was
nicked up in 1840 by Mr. M. S. Mc-
Curry, ot Golden Valley, ana tne
date cut on the shell. The same
terrapin has been found and marked
from time -to time until now it bears
the dates 1840, 1865, 1875, 1876,
1880 and 1890. The bidders for the
"overland" mail route between Wil
mington and Southport ought to buy
that terrapin and break him into har
ness at once that is, if they really
expect to secure t e terrapin route."
From above analysis you will readily see
that Tinsley's Guano is the best for T )bacco.
