C. Mit. J. 1, Flvthe, of Jackson, comes out of the great campaign for While Supremacy with an envia ble reputation as a public speaker. He has more than met the highest expectations of his friends and won the admiration of even his po- iiticai enemies. In future cam paigns his services on the stump will be in great demand. He makes a strong, logical speech,free from vituperation—the kind that wins adherents to one’s cause. His speech at Rich Square last Satur day ranks with those made by the old ,,campaigners who have spoken in our County during the campaign. This is the con- seuBus of opinion of those who have heard them. .jress thus; taking it oat of the hands of the people and represent ing their wishes only indirectly as in the election of CJ. S. Senators. So we see that we staited out with , not a perfect form of republican I government but more a republican —aristocratic government. Popu- alar government was an' experi ment and our fore fathers content- •^d themselves with skimming the siiores while fearing to venture out upon a sea of grave and dangerous experiment. But lUO years of ex perience has made clear to us and demonstrated to the world that man can govern himseif betterthan others can govern him—and the success of our system has revolu tionized the governments of the world. Now our present mode of elect ing Senators is a survival of Ham ilton’s distrust of the people and should be changed. A people can do directly better than they can indirectly. If they are competent to select a legislature to elect a Senator, are they not capable of electing a Senator themselves? And if the legislature is to carrj out the wishes of the people as it claims to, why not take this bur den from the legislature and per mit the people to do directly what they do indirectly? Is there not danger that the will of the people passing through other bauds, will be ignored and disregarded? We think so, and know there is not only danger but that such a thing has already happened in a num ber of cases. In our own State, Pritchard’s election was due to a combination formed between him and Butler and the wishes of the people were altogether disregard ed. The same has happened in the case of Clark from Montana and Quay from Pennsylvania. There should be no middioground between the people and the gov ernment. Our legislatures should not be burdened with election of Sena, tors but should devote their time and attention to economic condi tions and questions which natural ly art worthy the solution of such a body. ELECTION V. S. SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE. The progress of popular govern ment has been a slow but sure process. It has advanced along with intelligence and more univer sal education. So long as the learniug and knowledge ol the world was in the possession of the monasteries and the royal families i.l the old world there was scarcely a contest for political or religious ireedom. Men as a class being in- lorior to their priests and king.s naturally and perhaps rightfully iliouglit that kings and priests were created to govern and they to be governed. But when the print ing press was established a new thought and hope seized the en lightened minds of men and popu lar government was born at the cost of the old theories of govern- meut. With the training of their intellect men came to placeahigli- er and more exalted opinion upon their own capacities for govern ment and to divest royalty of what was called its “divine right” to rule. So when our forefathers be gun to look arouud for a form of government for our country, they decided that man was capable of self government and that God hac not sent us “angels in shape of men to rule over us.” But this conclu sion was cot reached without much opposition. Alexander Hamilton and his followers brought their ideas of government from Englam: and they could not be persuaded that man could rule himself, and we have among us today a large element of Hamiltoueaus who dis trust the people and prophesy with some satisfaction to themselves the early fall of our Republic. Ham ilton went as far as to advocate se riously that the governors of the several states be not elected by the state but appointed by the Presi- dent,thus making a strong central-. ized goverumant and clothing our chief magistrate with all the pow er of a king, but this plan was de feated. Again, however, the prin ciples of Hamilton were manifest ed in our method of electing pres- j i lents and vice piosidents by con ' AUiiUcd Party, When Mr. Bryan took the field four years ago he had on his shoulder the great work of re organizing the party and makiog its strength elfeetive- That is what his wonderful canvass of that campaign meant Icalarge part of the country he was de serted by the Democratic press, and in the great states the organ ization was a mere pretense, do ing nothing for the cause of the candidate- He has not to do over again in 1900 the work he so nobly and splendidly performed in 1896 That work is done. Ho now starts where he left off in the last cam paigu. He is backed by a united party, never in more aggressive form and never so determined to .icl.ieve victory, if victory is pos sible, or can be achieved through well directed and earnest offorL vVith all disadvantages against him in 1896 be has now all that could be reasonably hoped for at the outset of the campaign in his favor. Id 1896 he polled 6,500,000 votes and had a large majority of the native-born white votes, com ing within 20,000 voles of au elec bion, if there had been changes to that extrot in six states. He ac complished this under such ob stacles and discouragements as never before faced a candidate for the presidency. With this record, what may not be expect ed when everything is favorable? We believe those who subscrib: to the Kansas City platform and believe in Bryan today constitute a majority of the American elec torate. The reunited Democracy should go forth to certain victory. —Pittsburg Post. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN- Issued by the N. C., Section of the U S. Department of Ag riculture lor week end ing July 30. Au extremely fortunate cLauge in the weather conditions in North Caroliaa occurred at the beginning of tlie week ending Monday, July 30. 1900, and the gloomy apprehension of the farmers were removed by the co pious precipitaiiou, which thor oughly broke tliedrouth through out the State- The rains began early in the central and west por tions, but were delayed until the 27ih (Friday) in the scutbeast; in some sections showers occurred everyday and.the State average exceeded the normal by over two inches. Over several counties a very heavy downpour happened on Friday which washed hillsides considerably, and bottom land corn was injured by overflowing streams to some extent; high winds also tangled corn in por tions of Buncombe, Davidson and Yadkin counties, but these minor unfavorable features are insigni- ficent compared with the wonder ful revival of crops not too great ly injured by the drouth. The general improvement caused by the splendio rains was assisted by the moderate temperatu re and cloudy weather that prevailed, Very much old corn was so greatly damaged by drought that it cannot recover under most fa vorable conditions, but all late corn appears to have been thor oughly revived and is now prom ising, The moisture assures, sue cessful earing and a fairly good crop; corn is still be injured by chinch bugs in some localities. Cotton has revived wonderfully, and although the plants are still late and small for the season, the general abundance of blooms and free setting of fruit would dicate a good yield. Shedding and rust are reported in several counties, but not more than is usual at this period- Here and there fields of cotton on light sandy soil were too much injured by the drought to recover fully. The chief damage to tobacco oc curred to the forward crop in the south and east portions. Late and well cultivated tobacco in the most important tobacco growing sections was greatly improved by favorable conditions Ibis week; conditions are very diversified, however, some reporting the crop “very promising” (Granviliejand others as “running to seed” (Da vidson). Peanuts, sweetpotatoes, field peas and rice have improv ed. Threshing is finished ex cept in the extreme west where the work is progressind rapidly. Plowing fallow land and sowing turnips have commenced. The ram in the western tier of coun ties interfered somewhat with the completion of the oat harvest and with haying. Pastures have revived; hogs and cattle are do ing well. A fine yield of honey was obtained this year. What most people want is some thing mild and gentle, when in need of a physic.

Ransom bought the Polenta farm on the Roanoke, comprising over 2000 acres, from the executor of the late John W. Buxton, many pre dicted that the farm would uc-c be kept up to the high state of culti vation of The past few years. These predictions have not been fulfilled. Mr. W. U. Evans, one of our successful farmers and a man of good judgment, was on this farm a few days ago and tells us that Gen. Ransom has the best crop that has been ou the Polenta in 25 years. Others telbus the same thing. Mr. Evans says he jsaw on the Polenta one bun deed aud twenty five aci es of the finest cotton be ever-saw any where at this season of the year that all the cotton on the farm was very good and no grass in the cotton anywhere to be found. Mr. Geo. W. Lowe, who super intends this farm for Gen. Ran som, understands his busine-s He has been with the General for several yearsmid knows what he wants. Th's farm is cultivated by hired colored labor. No trouble has been experienced in securing laboj. The men are paid cash for their work (the same plan Mr. Buxion pursued so successfully) and as often as they want it,* They are never asked to take “order3”on anyone. This is the secret of General Ransom’s success in having one of the best crops and cultivated farms on the Roanoke. HE FOOLED THE SURGEON, All doctors told Eenick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O., after suffer- ng 18 months from rectal fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured him self wioh five boxes of Bucklen’s Arnaca salve, the surest -Pile cure on earth, and the best salve in the world. 25 cents a box.

Our farmers have finished lay ing by iheir crops and are now devoting much time discussing politics. As they all vote one way no animated discussions are heard. They will turn out early next Thursday and vote. Mrs. Robt. P. Morehead and children have gone to West Vir ginia to visit her parents. Her sister.

In a previous meeting held at Willow Oak A. M. E. church call ed by W. H. Roberts, it was ag e d to organize the colored peupie of Northampton aad ad joining counties into an associa tion. Another meeting on the 29th ins; tffi-cted G-is organiza tion into an assoeifition to.be hei*-uf:er known as the North' amptoD County Moral. Material and Educational association, with W. H. Roberts, president; G. G. Maggctt, vice president; Wm. M. Brewer, recording sec retary, W. F. Flood, assistant secretary. ThU association and plans of the same originated among some of the best elements of the colored race, such as Rev, C. V- Richardson. William Roone, W. H. Roberts, D. D. Bishop, Luke Jacobs, S. E. Tann, G. G. Maggetl, W- P. Flood, and their wives, and W. M. Brewer. Hardy D, Perry, aud Daniel Jopelancl. This association is for reform, without compromise, along al' lines. Thecardinalprinciplesupon which this association is founded are essential to the develop ment of any race. Virtue, morali ty, neatness, education and a true • knowledge of the Christian .re ligion as taught by the -New Testament scriptures, are an ong the principles upon which the dSsociitioD is buil».

The meet ings are public and attention is invited to the fact that all our colored people should attend them. Ajeommittee, of arrangemeni was appointed, consisting of six persons—Misses C, L. Bishop and Mignonette Roberts, and Bros.' Hardy D. Perry, Luke Jacobs., S. E Tann, D. D.

M. church, Revs. Coop er and Newsome, of the Baptisi churcL,delivered soul stirring ad dresses to the association, on the moral, material and educatioual needs of the race. They advised the race to do better in future than it had done in the past. That tho.se-principles as adopted by the asso.-iation be carried into effect at once, not by word but by food works and good deed% Rev R. R, Carlright, will deliver the address on the occasion on nox' Sunday evening the 5tb of August at Kell'ord as the next meeting of the association will be held there with the 1st Baptist church (col ored.)
