'op.' Watson soands a note
iK'n recent issue ' of his
rrr.lief' Populists are really
t!:9 Coxey brand, and it
is a part ci their policy to interfere
f
with th proprrty rights of their
neighbor,:. This does not suit Mr.
Watson, 'and te threatens to retire
from the party if the socialieta be
come strong enough to control it,
He claims that he has always been
conservative in his ideas and
methods, and declares that the gov
ernment of Washington and Jeffer
son is good enough for him.
It ia gratifying to find Mr. Wat
eon speaking out in this fashion,
. and, now that he plainly sees the
drXt cf Topuaisai and is aware of
the growing strength of the social
ists, he should walk out of the third
v, party and return to the Democratic
" - fold. The Democrats who are most
zealous end useful in the cause of
genuine reform cannot afford to ally
themselves with the socialists, who
are rapidly taking possession oi the
'Topulist csnp. They will find no
better place to work or their pro
posed r forms than inside cf the
Democratic party.
.Yt is a c'acrt-sighted policy on the
part of any Democrat to go into a
third party in the hope of reforming
v. the country ml at once. When he
finds the socialists in the majority
among his new associates, the only
tmj for bim to ao is to cut loose
from them and return to his old
party. Democrats make mistakes
and blunders, but, after all, they are
the party of the people, and they
haye done more for popular rights
than all the other organizations
which have ever existed ia this coun
try.
Mr. Wbtson makes a very import
ant admirsion when he calls atten
k,e growth of socialism in
hTS-Vttriy, aud it is sate to say that
it will cause: the better class of
Populists to r-rtnrn' to their old-time
Democratic f,iLh. Conservative men
in the PcpulLt prty do not want to
be identified wica a party which is
drifting i-::c :pcJalisai and meuac

They are face to face with the
practical problem of cotton acreage.
They era to determine whether there
shall be an over-production of cot

will not pay for the crop, or a crop

of profit. Reduced to its last analj

determine what course they will pur
sue we cannot understand. To in
sure a reasonable cotton acreage or
ganization and co-operation are
necessary. What thorough organi'
zation and honest co-operation . can
do was domcnstiated last year. " The
year before the cotton crop was so
great that the price was brought
very low and the average cotton
planter suffered.
Last year the Cotton Growers'
Protective Aeaociation was formed,
and under intelligent direction ac-
' complished great thing? for the
South. The farmers appreciated
the sense of the situation and almost
unanimously reduced their cotton
acreage. 1 hey know the result
They know how much better they
fared in 1S95 than they did in 1894.

More About Biltniore.

North Carolina home of George
Vanderbilt, amazes me with a de
scription of that man elous place in
the mountains. The house stands
in the midst of a tract of 70,000
acres of ground. Mr. Vanderbilt'a
holdings in the vicinage amount to
oyer 100,000. Frederick Olmatead
has done some fine landscape gar
dening, building rustic bridges over
mountain streams with striking
effect. The house has been five and
a half years in building, and 11,000,
000 brick were used in the con
struction, all made out of clay on
the estate. A great deal cf Indiana
stone was used in addition, one piece
weighing over three tons.- The ex
treme length of Biltmore house is
375 feet, and width. 192 feet. It
contains 100 rooms and has. three
elevators. During Christmas week,
when the house warming oity oc

The mysteries of the recent Cum
nock disaster ' keep coming. The
story of a suit for damages against1
the owners of the mine for lots of a
life, wMehVia forever defeated by
the recent catastrophe, la just
learned.
In the early part of last year
Arthur Goff, an employee in the
mines, lost hia life. The evidence
at hand was that Goff lost hia life
through, the ntter negligence of
some of his fellow employees. Goff
was working near the end of a slope.
One of the pit bosses let go a car
full of coal. It rushed down the
incline " with great momentum,
crashing Goff who was in its path.
Goff had a brother in Chicago
named Joe, who was in the employ
of the Pinkerton Detective jAgency.
Joe Goff worked on the case gath
ering sufficient evidence to; show
that the death of his brother was
caused by negligence. He had been
unable to make a trip to this State
to begin a prosecution against the
company for damages prior to the
day before the Cumnock disaster.
when he left Chicago for Cumnock.
After he arrived there the accident
had occurred and eyery living wit
ness of his brother's death waa num
bered among the dead.
It is a peculiar case one in which
all the witnesses were taken from
earth and'not a soul left to tell the
tale. Raleigh Press-Visitor.

Will Be Held There.
St. "Louts, Mo., Jan. 18. The
national committee of the People's
party ie-assmbled this morning at 1
o'clook and for two hours listened
to speeches of delegates from Chi
cago, Dallas, Kansaa City, Kansas
and St. Louis to secure the next
convention for their respective
cities.- The committee went into
secret session at noon and received
definite propositions, ' including
financial contributions, from the
contesting cities. It is the evident
purpose of the commit' ee to post
pone action until a subcommittee
has conferred with the Bi-Metallic
League in Washington on January
22nd. This delay is believed to be
in the hope of fusion and both con
ventions may be held in the same
city and at the same time. No
ether business was transacted at
this morning's session
The afternoon session was behind
closed doors. The claims of all the
candidates for the convention were
weighed and found wanting. J ust
before final adjournment it was de
cided to leave the matter of select
ing a convention city to the execu-
tive committee, to report within ten
days.
The executive committee met at 9
o'clock tonight in closed session,
and, after deliberating an hour, an
nounced the selection of St. Louis
as their choice for the national ron
vention which meets July 22.
It is expected that this unexpects
ed action was brought about by the
pressure of all the cities seeking the
convention, to have the matter set
tied at ence.

E; ; VOMITED A BIG FISH. . PERSONAL POINTERS.
A Woman Strangely Believed Alter
Ten Years of SuflerinK.
Sceantok, Pa, January 23. A
liye fish, perfectly formed," which
waa seven inche8 long and over an
inch thick wa8 yomited by Mrs. John
Davia on Sunday night. She re
aides on Brick avenue in the Provi
dence section of this city. She has
a husband and five children. They
"came here from Wales last year.
For ten years Mrs. Davia has been
offering from stomach ailments,
which at times weie most acute.
The physicians were puzzled as to
what troubled her. Oi;e of them,
however, ventured the possibility of
some live thing having gotten into
her stomach. Four years age her
father, who has lived in Ssranton
eight ynn, urged hia daughter and
family to come here hoping she
would be benefitted .by climatic
changes. There was no improve
ment noticed, and six weeks ago it
became impossible for Mrs. Dayis
to eat solid food. Since that time
wine and milk have been her only
nourishment.
Three weeks ago Dr. William G
Fulton wss called to attend Mrs.
Davis, who was then obliged to take
to her bed. Sunsday eyening an
unusually severe and painful sick
ness suddenly came upon her, and
in alarm, the nearest physician, Dr.
W Gonne, was summoned. The
woman's husband, meanwhile, gave
her brandy and tea. Violent vomit
ing followed, "hen a fish, which fell
on the floor, caused great amaze
ment to the persons in the room.
Mrs. Davis was almost strangled,
but she wept for joy when she. knew
the cause of years of misery was
removed.
She is much improved in spirits
and health, and feels she will soon
regain perfect health.
Mrs. Davis believes she must have
swaJ lowed the fish when it was
qui'e small in drinking water from
a spring at her home, in Swansea.
The fish has been put in alcohol,
and was viewed today by hundreds
of people.

Gae,to-ia, Jan, 20. Sheriff A K
Loftin, of this county, had a e arrow
escape this moruing. About 10
o'clock he went into a cell contain
ing five white prisoners. As he
walked in he locked the cell door
r.nd put the key in his pocket. As
soon as he had done so one of the
prisoners dashed some lime in his
face and eyes and another struck
him across the forehead with a
stick. However, it did not knock
him down, and he resisted, fighting
all five of them until one of them
jerked his feet from under him and
threw him down. They then choked
him, overpowered him and took his
pistol trora mm. mere were sis
other white prisoners in an adjoin
ing cell but tiiey made no outcry.
However, some of the colored prisr
oners, becoming frightened, cried
out, "Murder !" and Mr. Loftiu's
w"fe, becoming alarmed, also called
for help, and the neighbors came in.
The prisoners had by this time dee
sisted and gave the sheriff hia pistol,
after taking out the catridKes. The
prisoners in the excitement had for
gotten that Mr. Loftin put the cell
key in his pocket and for that rea
son did not succeed in escaping,
Two of the number who attempted
to escape were the parties who,
some time ago, broke into the store
of Costner, Jones & Co-, - at this
ace. The sheiff lives in the lower
part of the jail, the second and third
floor being occupied br the prison
ners. Thare are a great many now
in jail, and some of them desperate

seemed to be in the plot, were
chained to the floor. Dr. Wihon,

wounds and says he is not seriously
hurt, with the exception of one of
his eyes, and cannot yet tell how
badly that is injured.
