Announcements of c-iudidates tor th various otlics ot county and State can be made in the Coukiek at the same price as heretofore, namely : $3.00, strictly cash in ado van ce. This price will be adhered to, first and last. The advertise columns of this paper are open to all parties. It is perfectly legitimate for can didates to make a formal announce, ment of their candidacy. Kecommendations of candidates by "vox popnli" or "many citizen?-" must be paid for a3 any other an nouncements. While the advocates .f tiit "second declaration of inds-ptn dence" of Sr. Louis lame are pre paring to buy up the railroads ami telegraph system, why don't they include the daily newspapers, and the weeklies too for that matter The fact is, while they ate at it why not have the government buy the continent, and all its cities, towns, enterprises, farms and everything, and then everybody will get an of fice sure enough ! WE I'UESKNT in this issue a petition from Mecklenburg Presby tery asking that Congress order the c'osing of the World's Fair on Sundays. Of course Congress will pay little heed to what the COURIER may say, but we are going to add our mite to this laudible request nevertheless. The Bible teaches us to "remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy," and the churches throughout this land are asking that the World's Fair be an exam ple of Christian obedience to all na tions of the e irth. This is the home of Christian churches. By these missionaries are snt into heathen lands. What will those trom heath eu lands think of ihe Christianity ot America if they come to the World's Fair aud find Ihe manag ers of that great exhibition disre-. garding the "Holy command ments"? Will they not return to their own country and say that America practices not what sh6 preaches? Surely the appeals that have gone up to Congress from the churches throughout this country will be heeded by that body. A motion was carried at the meeting ot the County Alliance here lastthuisday that the members ot this Alliance do not go into the con ventions. W- got this from several members. This vote by the dele-, gates at a county meeting is not binding on the Ailianco as a whole and every member has ;i right to do as he please, and we have heard several say that they were going to act just as they please. It does not. laeau either that those who voted for that motion are going into the Third parly ; but we fear it means something very much akin to that. We tear it means that candidates must pledge themselves to the St. Souis platform in order to get their votes. We far this because the report kindly furnished us by the secretary says the mietiuar endorsed the St. Louis platform. There is another meaning, however, going with the idea we have just suggest ed, and that is that most of those who voted to stay out of Ihe con ventions mean to vote with the Democrats provided the St. Louis d mamls are incorporated in the platform. We are simply giving the facts as we have gathered them from reliable sources, We are sor ry that our esteemed friend, llev. C. L. Wilson, has seeu lit to ask the Alliance ot Lincoln county to call upon the government to buy up the railroads and to pay the Union sols diers the untold millions of pensions. Kvety time you endorse the St. Louis platform you eudorso the government ownership of railroads, the paying of Union soldiers the diflVrenco between greenback and gold in time of the war, and woman suffrage. Are these Ihins Memo rrmic? Another point, is in order. The Alliance has endorsed the Oca la demands. Do those demands correspond with the St. LouU? See what Khas Cair says, in another column of this paper. We will have more to say about theo platforms hereafter. In the meantime our columns are open to -Mr. Wilson to show his side of the question. The Courier is determined to be fair and at the same time plain and de cided or '-die atryin7" VOTU. There seems still to be a misun dethtandiug about that vote of Mr. Stroup. Prof. Hahn told when we asked h;:n if it was true that Mr- Stroup voted for the Third party, that the preposition made at that meeting was with reference to the Ochla demands which were in corporated in the People's partj platform at Cincinnati in 1801, &hi added that the vote taken on hh proportion was therefore equivalent to a Third party vote, bnt assures u rhat t,A1iri nor intend to convey to ns the idea that those who voted iv I that meeting meant to pledge t. the Third or People's party. II, t says he did not know how they con. j strued their vote. Ti.ere are so many hair spliting j points made by thoe who no- lute" on these new political plat fnns that it is hard to tell what' i some people mean. uat wi stroup meant by li's vote we know not We have simply been discus, sing what he did. It a body of mer endorse a certain platform and thet another body meets and adopts that platform and then still anothei smaller body resolves to stand and vote with those who stand on that platform, what is that but voting with the party adopting that plat form ? and, in the case at hand, as the People's party, as they say, haf adopted that platform what does that vote mean if it does not mean tha- the parties signified their in tention to vote with that party? That is what that vote in Gaston meant, aud if those who voted did not so understand it they have only to reconsider their action and vote what they mean Men arejadged by their acts and not by their hid den meaning. Th"! news of this vote, as it was first noted in this paper, came to us through a prominent citizen of this town, who got it from one of the most reliable citizens of Gaston, and with tne evidence before us we 8tiP charge that when Mr. Stroup voted nnder Halm's proposition his vote was equivoleut to an endorsement of the People's party platform. That platform is not the platform of the Democratic party; nor ot the Republican party ; nor of the Prohibition party ; then if the vote does not mean the same thing as an espousal of the cause of the Tnird party it does not mean anything. OUR TEXAS LETTER In reply to Mr. Smith, we wish to say that we have been presenting each week through these columns, facts and arguments to show him how far and how unmistakably he is in the wrong in running after this Third party. Enough facts have been presented through these eo! umtis for the last few weeks, it seems to us, to convince any unprejudiced mind of the folly and inconsistency of Democrats' endorsing this St. Louis Third party platform. But there are men from the Democratic ranks who are bent upon the de struction of the Democratic party i at all hazard., and we are surprised (o see such honest hearts and intel ligent minds as Mr. Smith following after these would be destroyers of our noble Son them principles. If Mr. Smith does not admit that the party in power is responsible for tha existence ot the national iaws of which he and we complain, then we cannot see how he is to be set right. If Democrats ar to be held responsible for what Republi-j cans do, we had just as well lay' Wfl tlu not ke&i the first part of the down our pen. But is not such au "P'h as we were issuing the Cou- idea of responsibility too absurd to i 1:IEIi when the speaker began, talk a'out? ;; jiut, with a tew exceptions it was a Is our correspondent convinced 8ot sl,m'ch and was applauded by that the party in power is responsr- otD Alliance and nou-Alliance men. bie; Then what course does com-; IIis 8Peech -aa one of the wisest mon sense teach us to pursue in or;an most conservative we have der to put out the party in power ? beard for some rime. He preached Does anyone have to be told that a some sound Democratic doctrine, united Democracy and that alone j makiDg a most forcible appeal iu can do it ? Why then follow alter ' behalf of tariff reform. In fact the theao demagogues who have set up a scheme to divide the Democracy by forming a Third party whose platform contains planks far more heinous even, if possible, than the most detestable Radicalism Surely our correspondent has not forgotten the work of Democrats in CougresB when they stayed the in famous forco bill; when thoy fought hand to baud the iniquitous McKin ley tarill law; when a Democratic President vetoed that treasury rob bing pension bill passed by the Re publicans, and many other mighty works in behalf of a depressed peo ple that ought to win to Democracy's Nirpport every true American patriot To us our course politically was never plainer than it is now. No true believer in Democracy can think for a momeut, after a thorough investigation, ol accepting the whole of the St, Louis platform, nor can he think of following such a set as those who compiled and ad opted such a conglomeration of in consistencies as are set forth in that platform; and we cauuot see bow such a set of men as those who doc tored the platform so as to omit what would be against the South and let remain such as would please the North and Northwest, can be endorsed in the least by the honest Veomaury of this country. w a lamentable fact that the doctrines of such men as Pol, Ma cune, Butler, Powderly and others of Mmilar character, have so poison- ed ti,e wi,uJs of the bonesr' CrefJa- Ions laborers of this country that k,10W t tday what to think r ro These leaders are a shrewd set. Thev on before th ntor!e and tell ------- - r- them first of their miserably de pressed condition, and generally their description of the people's con dition is tiue. Then they pour into them the false doctrines that the Democratic party is responsible as much as the Republicans; aud then that so and so is their only hope of relief. They have taken special pains to prejudice the people a gainst the Democratic press and Democratic leaders. These methods they have been practicing till many of the honest, hardworking farmers of this country are utterly confused But there will come a day of reck oning in the Now or in the Then, aud the deceivers aud false teachers will reap their reward. If we cannot find in Democratic ranks good and true men whom the people can trust, what assurance have we thu such can be found in third party ranks ? All this talk about the Democrat ic party's playing into the hands of Wall Street is mere bosh. Who made the high tariff? Who estabt lished the pensious for Uuiou soU diers Who demonetized siiver un der Grant's administration ? Do these laws beuefit the South and West ? Who pays this tariff, these pensions, etc.? Where do the Unton soldiers live? Where do those whom the high tariff protects, live? Do they not reside up tows ards and around "Wall Street?" Do thee things not fatten the North, of which "Wall Street" is a part, and at the same time drain the South and West ? Yet our correspondent wants to stand on a platform with a plank in it that would mnltiply the pension business untold millions more. He wants to stand on a plat, tor m that calls for an expenditure of billions ot dollars for the railroads and telegraph lines, an act that would simply establish a swarm of oflicers and a system that would en able a party once in power to re main there forever. And yet oar correspondent claims his platform to be pure Jeffersoniau Democracy ! It is euough to make old Thomas Jefferson iae from his ashes and re buke those who attribute to him the teaching of such siliy things ! LECTUIIEII HELL'S SPEECH. Last week's Courier announced that Mr. Bell State Alliance Lectur er, would speak in Lincolnton on Friday. The announcement was by order of secretary Hoover. The time, however, was changed to Thursday too late for the secretary to give ns word. The speaking, therefore, took place on Thursday. burden of his speech was for tariff reform. He took up the sub treas ury, but eoon disposed of it as if it were something he preferred not to deal in. It was evident to all that the sub.treasury was no hobby of his. He said with reference to sil ver that he was sorry that raiuy of the Democrats in Congress aided in defeating the Bland bill, bat was proud to say that delegation from North Carolina voted for it to a man. Mr. Bell advised the greatest moderation. He cautioned the people against prejudice. We no ticed he did not utter one word against the Democratic press, but, in general terras, complimented the press of North Carolina. We find but little in Mr. Bell's speech to criticise, except when he said that the Democratic party of North Carolina said it was in fuu when it adopted certain Alliance measures. The Democratic party has had no convention to say wheth er it was jesting about any measure it adopted in 1890. The fact is, ac cording to Mr. Bell's own state ment the Democratic representa tives of North Carolina have stood eqaarely to the platform of 1890. II wever, there was a grat deal more in the speech that was good, sound, true argument than there was of that which deserves criti cism. We did not take notes and only give the impressions made by what we heard. We learned that Mr. Beil advised the Alliance, in its evening services, to stick to the Democratic party, that such a course was the oul.v hope of getting their demands. He told them to remain in the Demo cratic ranks and io attend the con ventioDS. Most all Alliancemen, seem tc think that so far as North Carolina is concerned her Democratic plat form ot 1890 and her Democracy and her Representatives are al right. If tnis is so, what sense is there m Democrats of this State mooing after this Third party dod oense. If the State Democratic platform of North . Carolina is al: right all we have to do is to try to get those principles iu the platform to be adopted at Chicago. Petition. To the Congress of the United States, Greeting : Whereas, The Congi ess of the U. S. is now bing asked to vote ad ditional funds to promote the Co lumbian Exposition ; and whereas there seems to be a determination ort the part ot the managers of this Exposition to opeu the gates of the Exposition on the Lord's Day ; and whereas the openiug of those gates on the Lord'f Day would be to give the stamp of approval of our nation to the public violation of the Sab bath, thus setiing us before the world as Sabbathbreakers : and whereas we believe the authority of God's word is binding and demands of us as a nation and individual an obedience to its commands to ob serve the Sabbath Day and keep it holy ; and whereas the sale of intox icating liquors on the Exposition grounds can in no sense be consid ered as coming under the police power regulating an existing evil, but is simply a scheme for revenue, and makes the United States a part ner in the traffic tor the sake of the financial profit to be derived there from : Therefore the Presbj tery of Meck lenburg, in the Synod of North Car olina, embracing iu its territory 13 ccnuties, viz. ; Auson, Union, Mtck lenburg, Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland, Rutherford, Polk, Buncombe, Hens derson, Transylvania, 3ladison,Clay, Cherokee, Haywood, Jaekeoi, Ma-, con, Swain ami Graham, 73 church es and 7500 members, does hereby petition the Congress of the United States not to vote any further ap pronriatiou to promote or maintain the Columbian Espositioo, save and only upon tbo condition that the gares shall be closed on the Lord's Day, the Saboath, and the sale ot intoxicating liquors forbidden and excluded trom the grounds all the time.

Sugar-coated, purely vegetable, and free from mercury or any other inju rious drug, this is the ideal family medicine. Though prompt and ener getic in their ant km. the use of these pills is attended with only the best results. Their effect is to strengthen and regulate the organic functions, being especially beneficial in the various derangements of the stom ach, liver, and bowels. Ayer's Pills are recommended by all the leading physicians and druggists, as the most prompt and effective remedy for biliousness, nausea, costiveness, indigestion, r sluggishness of the liver, jaundice, drowsiness, pain in the side, and sick headache; also, to relieve colds, fevers, neuralgia, and rheumatism. They are taken with great benefit in chills and the diseases peculiar to the South. For travelers, whether by land or sea, Ayer's Pills are the best, and should never be omitted in the outfit. To preserve their medicinal integrity in all cli mates, they are put up in bottles as well as boxes. "I have used Ayer's Pills in my family for several years, and always found them to bo a mild and excel lent purgative, having a good effect on the liver. It is the best pill used."
