There are a number of aspirants but nobody seems to be prominent enough to have the lead. We would like to see Col. Elias Carr. of Ederecombe, receive the nomination of the Democratic par' ty. There is not a better man in State nor a better Democrat. His recDrd is absolutely stainless and he is a man who enjoys the respect and confidence of everybody who knows him. He is a practical and suc cessf ul farmer, a man of fine educas tion and good sense, a man of decid ed convictions, who would be the tool of no individual or corporation, a man who loves justice for justice's Bake, and a man who would be Gov- not as Cleveland is President, He h no entangling alhan es with pol iticians, belonging to no clique or ring, and is under no obligations to anybody. wouldilike to see that convention nominate Elias Carr, of Edgecombe. This is an editorial that appeared in the Weekly Standard, March 0, 18S8. The Standard's estimate of Elias Carr, in 18S8, is the Standard's estimate in 1802. WHAT UE DESIRES.

The Bos ton Kepublican, printed by colored people in his city, has an article to the effect that certain colored men of Cambridge and Boston, belonging to the secret societies, have for some time been earnestly discussing the numerous lynchiDgs of colored men in the South. According to tne article these men have been taking lessons from Socialists and Kussians as to the making of dynamite bombs and other explosives, with which they propose to return to the South and take revenge on th people un less the outrages are stopped. The men are bound together by a solemn oath and indignantly refuse to be classified as Anarchists. v The song of this campaign be: "Get there, E1L" will 4'nDnrriiH' Ynlnalion. Township. White.

There i3 no question about the necessity of a roller Hour mill in Concord. This every one will con cede. People have (many of them) quit raising wheat just because they en joy putting their teeth in good white tlonr as many others do. If a roller mill were started here, we doubt not that it would encourage the raising of more wheat. Here's the oue3lioii Mr. G T Crowell is comir.g home, and if parties will ttart the enter prise on foot we have i.o doubt that he can be induced to take big stock in it and superintend the enterprise. With his esperier.ee behind the matter and hi3 reputation as a fine miller, the enterprise would certain ly prove a success, lie has been written to about the matter now whoop up the thing. fcaTMore about thi?.

"What does it feel like in a parachute i" "Well," replied Parachu tist Spencer, "that depends upon what you mean. You go up without a car, sitting on a kind of strap arrangement for a seat, and with the bar of ti e parachute seat so arrange about you that all you have to do in order to let yourself go is to swing on it clear of the strap seat of the balloon. The parachute, perhaps you know, is lightly attached to the side of the balloon, and when the whole weight of the body comes on the parachute seat the whole arrangement breaks away and down you go. As you go up and miss the friend ly car you feel a little lost at linding nothing between your dangling legs and the big dis tant earth beneath. But that's to the feeling when the time comes to let youself loose from the old balloon. You know you are high enough but let's wait a second or two, you think a hundred feet or so can't make much difference. Now we are going too high, its no good, you'd better make up your mind to do it. So you set your teeth tight to getherNowGo! . . . ' . Ger-r r-r-ah-r r-r Ah-h-h. Its opened.

St. John's ad dress, H McNamara, Esq. remarked in substance : "I was well pleased ; but isn't it funny he used identi cally the same arguments and points. I did when delivering an address seyeral years ago in Stanly county. By the way, they threatened to egg me if I didn't get out of the county." Great ha3 been the change, but argu ments then are arguments still. Mr. Filiaa Carr. Progressive banner. This gentlermn was nominated by the State Democratic Convention for the high office of Governor. For Mr. Carr The Progressive Farmer and every one connected with it ens tertains the highest personal regard. When we remember that Mr. Carr boldly proclaims that he is a true Alliancemau, and that many of the "machine politicans" have declared that they would prefer "a EeublN can to an Alliaucoman," we can but accept his nomination as a square- out defeat of the old "machine."

Editor: I think that the great question with u?, as citizens of Cabarrus county, 13 to go forward in the great work of improvement in our public roads, as well a3 in all other mattters, both public and pri vate. The alternative system of working our public roads is the system we should adheie to ; it is a plan and system that can be changed from time to time to suit the demands; the county commissioners have the power to change the plan and work the roads to the best interests of the county at large. If the present plan is too expen sive and costs too much to work the coi.victf, they have the power to change and adopt some other, but we believe if the present plan is econo mically extcuted it will prove a great benefit to our public roads in the county. We, the citizens of Ca barms county, do trust this great work to the good judgement of our county commissioners, and believe when they find it too expensive they will change to some other plan, which the law allows them to do. We have a good road law now in our county and let us not swap it for one that is no better than our old state law, under which no county can have good roads. We need laws that provide for permanent work on our roads; work when done will staud for years, and not have to be repaired every few months. We do not want to adopt a law that will separate our township from the other townships of the county and tie our bands, so we cannot move forward in t'u j great work of improving our public roads. The condition of our public roads in the county, if good, will certainly prove its prosperity ; for a country with bad roads is not on the road to prosperity, for bad roads are one of the main wet log that hang around its neck. I see in our county papers that the county commissioners of our county have called or ordered an election to be held in No. G township on the adoption or non adoption of the Means law in said township So far as I see our needs in No. township, we need no Means Law in adopting that law we would be stepping backward and would work injuries to our township nd to the county at large. It is very eevere in its demands and suggests many fines and imprisonments and provides for four days' work in each year, and for 13 cents tax on the hundred dollars worth of property. One of the most objectionable fea tures of it is the selfish feature it presents ; in adopting this we cut ourselves loose from the balance of the great county of Cabarrus, and virtually say we have no need of thee we have just a3 much need of the whele county in this great pub lie road matter as in any other and I believe more. Once ia this law, we are fast for good unless yoa can manage to get it repealed by the Legislature of North Carolina. I say we wilJ stick to Cabarrus coun ty s road. law and work to build up our county seat, which is the pride of us all. When we have good roads all over the county and our county town is one that will demand our producte, then it will be our privil ege and pleasure to travel over good roads. We need not expect to im prove our public roads by each town ship adopting a separate law from the county law. I hope and will also urge all the voters of jo. 6 township to come out to the election and vote down the Means law, as proposed, and let's re i ain in the union. Geo. E. Ritchie, May 23, 1892. Obituary. Died in Concord, N. O, May 20th 1892, Milas B Leslie, in the Goth year of his age. A good man has gone from earth. In early life he professed religion and joined the church. Upon removal to Concord, attaching himself by certificate to the Presbyterian church here, he lived a consistent member for over 35 years. Death came very sudden y. His was a quick step from "the cloud into the eternal sunshine. which left a severe shock and great sorrow behind it, but resulted we believe in great gain to him. A large concourse of citizens and friends attended his funeral, mingled tneir tears with the greatly afflicted family and attested their esteem for the good citizen, true friend, kind neighbor, affectionate husband, faith ful father and consistent Christian that had passed away. May 4the oomiorter" bind op the hearts that bleed so, in this great sorrow and help us all to feel the force of the warning "Be ye also ready." "There is a safe and secret p!ace, Beneath the wings divine, lieserved for all the heir3 of Oh! be that refuge mine! grace A hand almighty to defend, An ear far every call, An honored life, a peaceful end, And heaven to crown it all." Fastor. A FINE TALKER. Th foort House Crowded lo near Ex-tiov. Jno. P. St. John, ofHwusM. on tne Prohibition Isnae. Kansas has one man, who has never heard that the Civil War.ia over that gentleman, J J Ingalls, has been relegated to private life. Unlike this man, Gov. St John is a handsome gentleman, with all the natural blessings necessary to at once "attract attention. He be lieves that the War is over. He said so. in a way that was convinc ing. I is seldom that a better audi ence ever gathers in Concord. Ihe court house was packed, the -vesti bule filled and a number were turn ed awav. The ladies of the town furnished music and Rev. Pau Barringer opened the exercises with prayer. Cashier Coltrane introduced the speaker. When Gov. St. John began, it looked very much like the audience would be tired. He started off in an easy, slow way. But it was only a space of a few minutes until he got the audience to willingly follow him through his dUcussiuu. The Standard does not attempt anything like a report of the speech, Space dose not admit of it Gov. St. John handled his subject differently from many Prohibiten speakers. He was pretty tolerably kind in the selection of adjectives description of the Democratic and Kepuoacan parties, lie accuses them, however, for the present con dition of the whiskey traffic. He claims that the Prohibition party is the christian party. He said that if the 210,000 bar rooms were placed side by side, with a twenty foot front, they would reach 920 miles. That if the money spent for whiskey annualy would load up wagons 20001b3 of silver dollars to the wngon-enough to make a pro cession over S00 miles long. Gov. St. John is indeed an inter esting talker; his cool, calm and de liberate manner and his unique wa of putting things attracts the atten tion and holds it for hours. He held this one 1 hours and not one individual was tired, it seems. His illustrations are catching. oftentimes comic. Gov. St. John denies that the Prohibition cause is a side issue The way he presented his issues, he side-tracked the old political parties. which he termed prejudice. People are not hurt by hearing such speeches they are rather in tormed and benehtted, and all is well. With such a canvass as Gov St John is making, the party, which he espouses and heads, must neces sarilv gain strength. When it be comes a little more popular, the old parties may make overtures, or words to that effect. OI K MILLIONAIRES. List of Fourteen aa Made The Sew York Tribune.
