The farmers in this section are hold ing their cotton for higher prices. The farmers say that they are only making about one half of a crop. The farmers in and around Faro are organizing a Farmers Union, to be held at Faro. They met last Monday night. We hope them suecess. We had a protracted meeting at Yel verton's church last week, which was a great success, and the preaching by Rev. Bridges was highly appreciated. On Oct. 17 Ex-Gov. Ayeock deliver ed an elegant address at Eureka, in which he discussed the issues of the Democratic narty. It was a great and interesting talk, and those who turn ed out to hear him were made stronger and firmer Demecrats. We see that our government crop re ports all agree this season, that the outlook for a big crop is extremely dis appointing. Yet the bear traders have managed to keep prices down by let ting prices alone, but all ef them are keeping a close watch on sigas of the times which indicate that advance in cotton is close at hand aud wiil arrive before the season is much further ad vanced. COTTON GINNED. Over Six And a quarter Millies Bales up to Bctober 18. Washington, Oet. 26. The number of bales of cotton ginned up to Oet. 18, totalled 6,283,781 bales, counting reund bales as half bales. Up to same date last year 4,420,248 bad been ginned. The amount ginned between Septem ber 25 and October 18, was 3,701,002 as against 2,887,656 same date last year. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. In his report for October 15 Col. Henry G. Hester, seoretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchang-,' shows that the amount of cotton brought into sight during 46 days of the present season was 3,394,925 bales, an increase f 681,133 bales over the same period last year. The exports were 1,141,609 bales, an increase of 411,754 bales The takings were, by Northern spinners, 272,689 bales, an increase of 118.918 by Southern spinners, 285,525 bales, a decrease of 57,398 bal . THE COTTON SITUATION. The rapid picking of cetton is affect ing prices. The dry warm weather not only hastened the maturity ol cotton, but it facilitated the picking of the crop, and the eotton belt is today full of cotton bales. In such a tide of bales there is necessarily a great deal of dis tress cotton, and the marketing of it affects the price of cotton in these daji of reduced consumption. As soon as the cotton of those whose obligations compel them t sell is out ot the way prices may be bet er, especially if the demand fer cotton goods is increased as the season advances. In other words, those who can hold back cotton will perhaps secure later on a satis faotory prioe. It is reason ably certain that cotton will not ge be low 8 cents. The crop is by no means a large one. It seems the part of pru dence en the part of those who care to hold cotton to do that very thing until the distress cotton is marketed. All cotton of that sort will be sold in the next SO days. Cotton held until De eember ought to bring a better price, and it assuredly vilt if the mills re- eeive orders at all comparable to those of recent years. The Hains case has reached the de murrer stage. Six more sections of the trial, each occupying as many months as the defendants have meney, are due before the "fail to agree" jury verdict is reached. It is repot tea that Talt is getting iots of cheers in the campaign, which, by the way, are by no means satisfactory substitutes for the votes he needs to pull him through. NOTICE.

The Raleigh News and Obaerver of this morning contains the following notice, that will be read with interest here, the bride being .a Goldsboro young lady, daughter of Mr. E. W. Cox: "Oxford, N. C, Oct. 26. Mr. O. C. Jones and Miss Emma Lillian Cox left Goldsboro this morning and arrived in Oxford, where they were married this afternoon in the parlor of the Exchange Hotel.

All Elements of Democracy Work ing Together in Harmony. At a stopping place in New Jersey Mr. Bryan said on Friday last, "As a candidate for President I have a united Democracy behind me and a frightened Republican party in front of me."' So far as political elements and factions and schools of political thought are concerned Mr. Bryan spoke truly. But he did net consider . the Democratic business man whe is deciding broad public questions in a narrow individ ual manner. It may seem difficult to see how a Democratic business man whe is still feeling the Republican panic . ot Ooto- ofc. , , can reaou me conclusion cieu the election of Mr. Taft is necessary in order to keep off business troubles. Yet that is what he is doing in perhaps every. State. He is preferring tho party that fathered Dingleyism and has pro moted trusts and that gave birth to the October panic to the time-honored par ty of the people. Outside of such business men, how ever, the party is remarKiaDly knit to gether in this campaign. Hoke Smith, Hilary A. Herbert, J ndcon Harmon and David R. Franeis, all members of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, recently advocated the election of Bryan and Kern. Rich ard Olney and John G. Carlisle are also supporting the ticket. These six men are the living members of Mr. Cleve land's first and second cabinet, and all are loyal to the ticket. The Democratic party as a party presents a solid front, and the only dissensions are found in business circles. VICTORY FOR MORSE. - He Scores On The First Count in Big Legal Battle.
