C., Mar. lOtli. To the Voters of North Carolina: —At a meeting of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee held in this city on the 2nd inst, it was re solved that the next State Conven tion should be hold in the city of Hal- eigli on the 18th day of May, 1892, at 11 o’clock a. ra. It will devolve on this Convention to nominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Anditor, Attorney General and Superintendent of Puplic Instruction, to elect four delegates at large and four alternates to the Na tional Democratic Convention to be held at Chicago, June 22nd, 1892, to nominate two candidates for e'.ectors- at-large; to adopt a platform of prin ciples and to transact such other buis- iness as may properly come before it. in all cases where the Congres sional Conventions have not been held previously the delegates to this convention from each Congressional District will choose two delegates and two alternates to the National Democratic Convention and report their names to the State Convention. There has been for some time a firmly rooted idea among the iieople that some system should be adopted by which minorities in the various counties should have their propor tionate voice in all State and District conventions, and, in deference totlie fair and just sentiment, the commit tee, while realizing that it had no power to add to or vary the “Plan of Organization” as adopted by the last State convention and bind the I)eople to it^observance, unanimoiis- ly recommended to all county con ventions the following rule, and earn estly requests that it be observed, viz.: “In all county conventions in which delegates shall be selected to attend any State, Congi-essional, Judicial or other convention a vote shall be taken in accordance with the plan of organization as to the cand dates whose names may be presented to such Co. convention. The dele gates shall be selected from the friends and supporters of each candi date voted for in proportion to th' number of votes he shall Jreoc^re in such county convention, and no other instructions shall be given; provided, that where only one candidate is pre sented and voted for at such county convention it shall be lawful to in struct for such candidate.” It is urged that all county conven tions shall, at the same time they se lect delegates to this convention, elect a county executive committee to serve during the coming campaign. This action is essential to perfect or ganization and enables the chairman of the State committee to at once put himself in touch with the county chriman. All township and county conven tions should be held at such times a:id places as will afford to each member of the party an opportunity for full and fair discussion. It is es sential to success that animosities should not be engendered or dissen sions fostered, and no one should be given even the scmblance of an excuse for refusing to support the Demo cratic party, the supremacy of which is so necessary to secure good govern ment and an honest administration of pnWic affairs. To devide now is to turn over the State to the enemy. Let us stand togather as in the past and thus prepetuate the rule or the Anglo-Saxon. Ed. Chambers Smith, Ch’m. B. C. Beckwith, Secretary. Hon. Julian S. Carr, of Durham , at the earnest solicitation of his many friends, has consented to allow his name to go before tiie Democratic State Convention, for the honorable position of Governor. Mr. Carr, will make a fine executive officer and the Alliance can support him. Mr. Carr, is a young man and will make a governor that the people will be proud of. Ex-Judge John A. Gilmer, of Greensboro, died in that city on March 17th. lie had been ill for some time. He was a gallant Con federate offlcer. Peace to his ashes. Tariff is the subject now being discussed in the House of Represen tative. They are now discussing free wool. A groat many infnnt indiistric.-^ are amply able to care for tliemsel > es and tlie old folks loo. During leap year it is woman’!? province to adopt tlie rightful fsmc- lion of the office and seek the man The Washington Post says it will soon be in order to change the name of the Third party to the tired pai t^’. A convention of Postmasters is in session .at Washington. They must be expecting a chan;ie of administra tion. The State of Kentucky proposes to make her appropriation of $000,000 for the World’s Fair contingent on Sunday closing. Signs of spring multiply. AViW ducks have been flying northward and a little robbing lias been detected in the council chamber. Grover Cleveland is out in an open letter announceing himself a candi date for tlie Presidency. It is impos sible just now to tell who the candi date will b^’ We OTe for the roan that Can win. We have no room for a Third Party in this state, or in the South. When our people go back on the Democratic Party in tlie South, all Is lost. Two parties in the South are sufficient. A AVashington special of March 11th, says: In an interview to-day with a representative of the National Democrat, Col. Polk, president of the National Alliance, declared une quivocally for the third party move ment. He said that he expected to be nominated for Vice-President at the Omaha convention in July. OBITUARY. Died at Mt. Nebo, Yadkin Co., N. C., on the 29th of February 1892, C. R. Ireland, aged 26 j’ears, 5 months and 18 daj'S.

A committee was appointed, by the Lodge, to draft resolutions. The following was submitted : Resolved—That in the walks of life Bro. Ireland was a good citizen, a kind husband and fattier, and an honorable member of our fraternity. That we hereby tender our sym pathies to the bereaved family, and commend them to the God of the Universe for consolation.

Young man, look up, be somebody, stop that drinking, you are debasing your mind, destroying your intellect, blasting your hope of success and breaking the heart of your mother.

Items From Jonesville. — The Misses Dougherty, who have been on a prolonged visit to re latives in Greensboro and Charlotte, have returned to their home again, looking much refreshed from their pleasant recreation. We are happy to welcome them home again. Miss Sallie begins school again—and we hope she will obtain many patrons. She deserves much credit in this line, for lier untiring energy in improvin tne “young idea.” Miss Rocinda is her music teacher and never fails to give satisfaction to her patrons. — The second quarterly' meeting for the j'ear was held on Saturday ■and Sunday, and we were the recipi ents of some most excellent sermons from our beloved elder. Indeed, I think we have been greatly bhsaed with good sermons this month—as on the night of the first Sabbath we heard a splendid discourse by our pastor in charge. Surely such efforts with such powerful weapons will do much good in the battle for the array of the Lord. Let us all strive to profit by the great lessons taught us by our spiritual pastors and masters.
