ganton. Bnt aside from his services
in behalf of thee great public in
terests, perhaps the chief title of
Governor Molt to the grateful es
teem of his. fellow citizens rests
upon his valuable services rendered
in effecting the compromise! of the
State debt. A part of that debt
waa secured by a lien on the State's
interest in the North Carolina Rail
road. Through the receiver of the
railroad company, Hon. Samuel E
Phillips, the matter was in the
hands of the Federal Court. . All
thought that the road must go. It
seemed a certainty that the lien was
to be enforced and this nW -yalua
ble property of the State sacrificed
to the crreed nf hr Ji.oKUft
O -lUD kJCl o.
Just at this juncture Col. Holt, with
a few influential friends, yolunta-
nly undertook a journey North to
see the parties owning the bonds
secured by the lien. After all nego
tiations had apparently failed and
after long delay and unspeakable
vexations and V perplexities,! these
gentlemen, led by Col. Holt, suc
ceeded, by reason of their influence
in business circles, in compromising
the debt, thus saving to the State
property valued at more than five
millions of dollars.

A biographical sketch of the sub
ject appears in the Charlotte :0b
server of last Sunday by Rev. W P
McCorkle. This sketch is no -array
. of the author's fancies spread as
flowers on the grave of an imaginary
.hero, but. a just .tribute to one
whose modest virtues forbade the
display of encomiums that send
ofen high on the ladder of fame
during lifeV Had he wanted noto
riety, he had but to make a small
bid for it, but it was the ambition
of a patriot that sought only the
tallest measure of usefulness as a
goal for higher and more worth the
reaching than any greatness of name.
He eerved the State in both
tranches of the Legislature, both as
private and as presiding officer and
as Governor . and every sphere
.marked him fit for a stiU higher.

that the noble monument and statue

adorns the Guilford Battle Ground,
was his individual gift. He counted
it, he said, among the happiest acts
of his life to present that memorial
to the Guilford Battle Ground Asso

evidence to the truth of the state

The biographer relates facts
Mr. S E Wroten, a prosperous
farmer who resides ne?r v Rocky
Point, was a welcome visitor at the
Star office yesterday, a Dd gave the
interesting statement that everybody
in his section was for free silver,
and that the Populists were finding:
oat how their leaders were trading
away and bartering their votes and
many were returning to the old
Democratic party, knowing that only
through that they can win over Mc-
Kinley and Russellism.

and another rrom Wallace, Duplin
county, both said the Populists were
losing faith in the leaders and are
rapidly returning to the Democratic
party in their sections. Morning
Star.
So itgoes and so it should go. We
have too high an opinion of many of
our Populists to believe that they
win continue to stand aloof from us
when there is nothing practical in
our differences, and their standing
off weakens us and makes them pow
erless. A Populist was in our office
recently and declared he would vote
for Bryan and Sewall, and that he
was not going to be in a small
cro wd of Populists who were goine-
to vote that way. Some have even
left the Populists and particioated
in the Democratic conventions. Sin
