T-ueFaumi&s' convention at Greens-
boi o' last week was at ten
about two hundred and
gateN and its proceedings
harmonious. Several mattei
lie intsrest weio discussed, thehome
bttad law being one of them, and the
following lesolution on that subject
&. , . , '
nM ' r

to homestead and personal property
exemptions are pregnant with evil in !
,Ane iinutinniil.lv uilnntAil
its practical operations and tenden
cies ; has brought about tno oppres
sion and the usurious and ruinous sys
tem of liens and mortgges, destroys

Resolve, That wo favor such modi
fixation of said laws us shall ultimate
ly do away with the lien and mort
gage system and restore to the debtor
class the only equitable and just,
basis of credit, honesty, integrity and
industry.'
In their declaration of principles
the convention declares that they
viil seek legislative relief not through
separate parties, but through the
two political parties now existing.
We note this with much pleasure,
because it is eminently right, and
proper. There is no need of a third
political party and these representa
tives of the farmers' interests showed
their wisdom in not trying to form
one.- About 275 Farmers' Alliauc&s
were 'reported as having beeu organ
ized in this State, and all were in
good condition. These alliances may
do much good, but if politics enters
into them, or if they are used for the
personal or political preferment of a
few men; then they will do harm and
soon disband.
The contest for Mr. Carlisle's seat
in the House of Representatives has
resulted iu a ridiculous farce. His
contestant was a so called "indepen
dent" candidate, named Thoebe, who
I 1 k
claimed that the certificate of elec- j erB came to the conclusion that he
tton should have been given to him j waf EVt a person to be held respon-
v x j f x.. nr.. r...i: i j ,t . sible for his acts uuder the circtim

sisting of nine democrats and six 1 i"de known to the Governor, the
republicans, investigated the charges ! !eatl? Benten s commuted to life

not do while his wife lived, and he
proceeded to violent measures to re

A Drunken Brute Punished.
From the Duruam Recorder.
A. family, (the name can be given
on application), consisting of the hus
band, wife and three children moved
to Durham. The husband proved
himself to be a sot, and was extreme
ly brutal. He refused to work, and
stole the earnings of his family to
buy whiskey. His two older children
were stricken with a malignant type
of measles and wero critically fll. He
came home iu a drunken frenzy, drove
his wife and sick children out ot the
house into the cold beating rain, and
taking the last quilt from the bed
pawned it for whiskey. Tbo expos-
ure caused the measles to settle in
the mouth of one of the children, and
the odor is so fearful as to render re-1
mainhig in the room with it, almost
impossible. The other child is im
proving but it will probably go
throug'j life with a shattered coDsti
tuth.i and be a burden to itself and
frier, ds.
TL.ji. night a party of masked men
entered the home, if home it might
be called, and arousing the husband
from his drunken stupor, carried him
away. The w ife, of many cruel treat
ments, evinced a wifely love, and beg
ged the men not to harm him and to
leave him alone. They were deter
mined, but promised that although
they should not harm him physically,
he wouhl never trouble her or the
children again. He has not returned.
She has not heard from him, and his
fate is one of the mysteries. Foul
play is not suspected, but it is be
lieved that the masked men conduct-

A Fatal R. R. Accident.
From the Cuarloite Chronicle l'Jtb int.
A disastrous Hcvnunt occurred io
a passenger 'train on the Cheater &
.Lenoir Narrow Gauge rood, near
Hickory, early yesterday moi uing
The entire train, with the exception
of the engine aud tender, went down
with a trestle, fire broke out in the
wreck aud both trestle and cars were
burned to ashes.
The accident occurred at the tres
tle two. miles west of Hickory, and
the train that went down was the
west bound train, composed of a bag
gage aud express ear and two passen
ger coaches. The tiaiu approached
the trestle at the usual speed, and
the engine and tender had just reach
ed th western side when there was
a terrible crash, and all save the en
gino and tender went down in a wreck.
The trestle was thirty feet high and
the fall of the train was terrific. As
the cars struck upou the ground be
low they were shivered to pieces and
the passengers were unable to explain
how they escaped with their lives.
Not a single person ou the train
escaped uninjured, but the wonder is
that some of them were not killed
outright. The debris took lire from
the stoves in the car, and within a
short space of time the wreckage of
the cars and trestle were reduced to
ashes.
So far as can be learned the list of
the injured is as follows: Rev. Dr.
Bead, of Lenoir, skull crushed, and
injuries fatal. Conductor Waddell,
ahghtly hurt. J. E. Coffey, colored,
jaw bono broken. The engineer and
fireman were painfully injured,- and
all the passengers were more or less
hurt. The engine and tender crossed
the trestle in safety, but turned over
ou their sides, burying the engineer
and fireman undei them. They were
pinned down for half an hour before
they could be rescued. The cause of
the accident is not known, but it is
Delieved that a pair 01 trucks jumped j .Baby byrup to induce sleep and eoin

Cnir-PEWA Fall, Wisconsin, Jau. 17.
The past two nights were the cold
est ever known in this region. Sun
day, at 8 o'clock iu the morning,
j- pii it thermometers indicated 50 de
crees below zero; at noon 22 below,
This morning it ranged from 55 to
62 below. Trains are still irregular
The Poor Commissioners are besieged
with appeals aud the poor house is
crowded. It was reported today that
a sick woodman was frozen to death
while being conveyed to the city.
Austin, Texas, Jan. 15. A terrific
norther struck this section last
night. For several days it. had been
springlike weather, the mercury
standing at about 54 degrees. It
was at that point at 6 o'clock last
evening, when the norther arrived.
At 6.30 it had dropped to 38, at 7 to
28 aud at midnight to 10, with a
stiong northwester travelling at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. The
f ir was filled with fine snow. All of
today the mercury has registered 8
to 10, with a roaring norther and
driving sleet and snow. The rapid
change in the temperature, the un
precedented cold and badly con
structed houses have caused intense
suffering among the poor in the city.
Ten is the lowest the mercury has
ever been known to register here,
bat indications are favorable for a
drop below that point tonight. No
trains have reached the city over the
Missouri .Pacific since last night.
Very many of the healthiest people
keep themselves iu such condition by
tbe occasional use of a reliable ca
thartic aud they give the preference
to Laxador as more f ully serving their
purpose thau any other similar remedy-
