THE TIMES, Published Every Thursday, by W. C. IVY, Editor. THURSDAT, DECEMBER 3, 1S91. Col. Polk savs that the third pvty question was not mentioned at the Indianapolis Convention. The Governor has refused to commute the sentence of Alfred Dawnt sentenced to be hanged at Charlotte for burglary. Gov. Holt has offered a reward of $200 for the incendiaries who fired the property of Mr. John H. Ward In Chatham county some time ago. The parties are unknown. r The Weekly Toiler suras up the Alliance demands as follows: Econ omy. Low tariff. Free coinage. Graduated income tax. No alien ownership of land. Abolition of na tional banks. More money and cheaper money. The sub-treasury is not mentioned, because it is a detail of the last proposition. The Southern Inter-States Ex position which has been going on in Raleigh for the past two months, was closed on the 1st inst., according to programme. Notwithstanding the disparaging remarks of a few bigot ed and officious quill drivers, the fair was a b'g success in many ays. and great credit is due the management for its zealous and untiring efforts to make it what it was. It is true, as an Inter-States arrangement, it was by no means what it should have been, but it was no fault of the offi cers in charge, but an unenviable reflection upon our sister States. The Old North State did her part well, and will undoubtedly reap incalcula ble benefits therefrom. Whatever may be said by others, TnE Times desires to go on reeord asserting that the Raleigh Exposition in all of its appointments, eclipsed all previous State fairs, and was perhaps second to only one similar exhibition in the South. Col. L. L. Polk has been the third time elected President of the Nation al Alliance. Whatever may be said for or against Col. Polk, this is a very distinguished honor to Col. Polk and to North Carolina. With such trust are linked very grave res ponsibilities. This is surely the case With t.liA Pro!lont of tlio NTnliwijol Alliance. The Alliance, we think, a grand organization. It has done good and with adherence to its origi nal principles, is destined for great things in the future; but a litt'e rashness might spoil its chances for usefulness. The next j'ear is a crit ical one, and on account of the President's influence, his position is a responsible one. Sanford Express. We copy the above merely to show the drift of sentiment among the brethren of the weekly press. It will be obseived that while a feeling of uneasiness as to Col. Polk's future course is expressed, he is accorded some influence and honor. Whatever may happen Col. Polk con certainly be depended upon to do the proper thing at the proper time. The State has no more honorable or true son, and the people will trust him in all things. Confidence. -Possibly no word in our language is more imnortant and significant. Nonbusiness in the af fairs of human economy can be con ducted without its presence in a great or less degree. It is absolutely nec essary to the success of an' public ' enterprise which caters to public . sentiment and taste. It is especially essential to the proper management of a town and county papet that its editor should have a certain amount of the confidence of those to whom he looks for support.. Without it he had just as well hang up his fiddle and go a-fishing. We do not mean to insinuate that the average editor U aJ honorable and should be trusted as implicitly as the average bank cashier, but think that a sufficient amount of the milk of human kind ness should be present in every sub scriber to prevent hint from retiring to bis closet to weep when he is solicited to pay twenty-five cents in . advance. Many worthy and merito rious men haye failed for the want of confidence, and many are today harely managing to exist from the same cause. Communities, however, like individuals, have good cause, in some instances, to stand aloof from "ntSpKpeiSi3?(i But it is unfair to put them all in the sain " boat And while we appreciate the Ja'Clf; that confidence is something to be sougfii?1 and while we value it above dollars, we reserve the right to close this article with the statement that we will have no special favors to ask of our friends and patrons, as we are determined that The Times must die or live on its merits alone. 1 A Distinguished North Carolinian From the Abbeville Citizen. Few faces are more familiar to the people of Asheville than that of Geo. Clingman. For fifty years he ha been conspicuous in almost every phase of life in North Carolina. He stood in the United States Senate the equal in many respects of any of his competitors, when that body was known throughout the woild for thr great ability of its members. Thomas Lanier Clingman wasbon. in Huntsville, N. C, July 27, 1812. lie. was graduated at the University of North Carolina in 1832 with higl honors, after which he studied law, and -was elected a member of the legislature. He settled in Ashevilie in 183G. and was senilo the state sen ate in 1810. Later, he wa3 elected, 98 a Whig, to Congress, and served continuously therein from December 4th, 1843, till June 14th, 1858. with the exception of the 20th Congress During his long career in the House, extending over thirteen years, he participated In nearly all the impor tant debates, and. as chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, acquit ted himself with ability. His first week in Congress was marked by an encounter with Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, in which he displayed great readiness aud self-possession. His speech against the so called "21st rule" was extensivelyjpnblished, and his reply to Duncan's "ccon speech" made a decided impression. Later his speech on the cause of Henry Clay's defeat led to a duel between himself and William L. Yancey, of Alabama. He also made important speeches on the slavery question, on Gen. Scott's conduct in 51exico, the tariff, against commercial restrictions, on mediation in the east ern war, Texas debts, British policy in Cuba, and especially against the Clayton-Culwcr treaty. It is said that, while a member of Congress, Gen. Clingman attended every .day's session of the House without a single exception. He was originally a Whig, but subsequently joiued the Democratic party. In 1858 on the appointment of Asa Bigg a United States Judge for the district of North Carolina, Gen, Clingman was appointed by the Governor to All the vacancy in the Senate, and was subsequently elected for six jears after March 4th, 1861; but he with drew with the Southern members on January 21st, 1861. In May of that yoor ha nao eont as a commisKinnPr to the Confederate Congress to give assurance that North Carolina would cooperate with the Confederate states, and was invited to participation in the discussions of that body. He entered the Confederate Army as a colonel, and on May 17th, 1862, was appointed a brigadier geueral, in command of the 8th, 81st, 51st and 61st North Carolina Infantry. He served through the war, surrendering with Jos. E. Johnston in April, 1865. He was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention held in 1868. In 1S55 he measured, and made known through the Smithsonian In stitution, the highest point of the Black Mountains, since designated as "Clingmao's Peak," and in 1858 he determined the highest point of the Smoky Mountains, designated on the maps of the coast survey as -Cling-man's Dome." He also made known the existence in North Carolina of the diamond, ruby, platinum, corun drum and man' other rare minerals, and the important mica mines in Mitchell and Yadce' counties were first opened by him. Since the close of the war Gen. Clingman hast devoted his attention to mining, and to scientific and literary pursuits. He has published a volume of bis speeches (1878), and minor works, including "Follies of the Positive Philosophers," (Raleigh, 1878). , Slate Temperance Association. The Sanford Evpress pays : We hail with pleasure the permanent or ganization of the State Temperance Association. This was effected last week in Raleigh under the auspices of prominent temperance men repre senting the different denominations of Christians. It aims at organized effort in suppressing the liquor traffic, and to stir up and strengthen the temperance sentiments of our people. It does not mean the Prohibition party or any party at all. It appeals to every citizen for help in the good cause without touching hi3 party af filiations. The methods to be used ara to be non-partisan, non-sectarian and distinctively Christian. It pc poses to organize the State and each county and each, township, in the t county to aid in this work. With all c?ur heart, we bid them God speed ! ' , " W. J A. licks, superintendent of the penitentiary? V n.as a force of 125 con victs lavinsr itraul & the Wiison Short Cut between FuV'etteville aud Rowland, . rrOsrreSBiTe Farmlug. F. W. Dow, Steuben county. N. Y.. writes in the Bulletin as follows: It 13 commendable in the farmer, as well as any other man, to wish to go ahead and make a' success of his occupation. I believe in progressive farming. There is a great field open before us, and it is only for us to push onward, with a determination to succeed, and our labors will be rewarded with abundance of the roducts of the earth. Who would be a laggard when Nature offers to pour out such a generous supply of the finest products if we will only work lor them ? I.sm in sympathy with the Patrons of Husbandry and the Farmers' Alliance; also all other organizations that are laboring for the advancement of the farmer's oc cupation; but the farmer should not, for one moment, expect or ask that any secret society or political party will provide him with the subsistence of life without he earns it. I believe in every individual earning just what he has by well directed labor of some sort, let him be a farmer or an' other person. Probably there was never a time in the history of this fair country of ours wheu the possibilities were any greater for the farmers than they are toda'. Let him therefore roll up his sleeves and put in some well directed blows, and his success is sure, both in the fields and the legis lative halls of the country. Hard work i3 what tells every time, and the person who shirks it should not expect to win success. He in no way deserves it. The young farmer who takes hold of the business with a love for it, reads agricultural papers and books, studies and learns to think for himself, goes to bad at night somewhat tired, but at peace with his neighbor, so that he can enjoy a sweet nighr's sleep, is pretty sure to rise. TliC A'aliocal Conventions. From the Philadelphia Times. The choice of Minneapolis as the location of the Republican national convention of 1892 is not likely to have any material influence upon the nomination of candidates. There have been occasions when the loca tion of the convention controlled the Presidency. It is known that Lincoln would not have beeu nominated in I860 had the convention been held in any of the eastern cities. That was the first national convention ever Loia woot of Cincclnnati, and only one had been previously held west of the Alleghenies, viz : the Buchanan convention of 1856. It, was the overwhelming numbers and enthusi asm of the Illinois, people in favor of Lincoln, added to the sober convic tions of the large portions of dele gates that Seward could uot be elect ed, that gave Lincoln success in a body that was really two-thirds for Seward. Had the Hayes convention of 1876 been held either the far West or in the East, Blaine would certainly Uave been nominated. He had a majority of the delegates in the convention, and a majority of all the delegates voted for him at one lime or another, but never on the same ballot. Local influences contributed very largely to make it possible to defeat Blaine by making Hayes a compromise candi date. It is reasonably certain that Seymour would not have been nomi nated against Crant in 1868 had the convention not been held in New York. The accidental nomination of Garfield, as the outcome of the struggle between Grant and Blaine in 18,80, was not in any degree con trolled by the fact that the conven tion was held in Chicago, nor had locality anything whatever to do with the nomination of Cleveland either in 1884 or '88, or with the uomination of Blaine in 1884, or the nomination of Harrison iu 1888. The contest for the coming Repub lican National Convention was warm ly contestea by a number of Western cities, and various generous proposi tions were made to secure it. It is a common idea tiat the meeting of a convention for the fiist time in a new Western city, would be well calcula ted to inspire the party to uncommon effort in the campaign that follows, but there is no good reason to assume that the location of either of the conventions in 1892 will have any material in2uence upon the choice of candidates or upon the A-ote of any Slate. Miss Mamie Dickens, who was al ways known as ihe favorite daughter of Charles Dickens. La3 written, for the Christmas number of the Ladies' Home Journal, her first story. It is a semi-ghost tale of the romance of an old English manor. Miss Dickens' only piece of literary work previous to this story was the editing of her father's letters for publication. She is said to possess true literary talent. ChildrerrGry .fori chersjjastqnsu ME- DIXON ON THE ALLIANCE. From the New York Herald. The Rev. Thomss Dixon .had something to say for the Farmers' Alliance yesterday in his remarks preceding his sermon, in the Associa tion Hall. He said that it was by no means sure that the lecent elec tion had proved a death blow to hv Alliance "this nameless, hobgoblin with hayseed in its hair- ; j ;j "The simple trufti js," he said, ''that all this talk about-the death of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union is cheap partisan twaddle. "Its life was not involved in the fight. It was not seriously affected by these elections because it is pri marily a moral, not a political move ment. The movement is, in its last analysis, a religious movement, and finds its basis in the religious nature of the millions of under masses who compose its rank and file. Ij ; Not a single one of the probleirs that gave birth to this movement has been met as yet. They have ot even been given a hearing. Tbiey have been hooted out of court by the hired assassins of thought in .the older parties, who fight not for prin ciple but for office. 11 "In spite of good crops, gambling in the bread of a starving world still holds its carnival of hell on the floor of your exchanges. jf "Conservatives mav hoot and poojh I and bah 1 but the movement is one of resistless power.

It is less a fnudamental principle that, while the efforts of a few may build a town, its success will be much greater if the entire citizenship lend a hand, says the Durham Re corder.
