DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Democratic County Conven
tion will be called to order in the
Opera House in Louisburg next
Saturday, (to-morrow,) at twelve
o'clock.
We learn that the primaries last
Saturday were well attended and
that a full list of delegates were
sent from each township. The
Convention to-morrow is for the
purpose of selecting delegates to
the State and District Conven
tions, and it is very important that
the list of delegates sent to these
Conventions should be composed o
crnci( man. trne and tried, men,

j o
tion, will vote for such candidates
for the various offices as will re
flect the wishes of the party, and
stand by its principles. The true
Democrats of Franklin can always
be counted on to do their duty, and
in the coming campaign, we ex
pect to see, not only the delegates
who help to nominate a ticket, but
every private in the ranks stand
ing solidly for the tickets named
at Raleigh and at Chicago.
CAN FREE SILVER WIN.
A Question That is New Being Dis
cussed By the Politicians.
Washington Post.
The silver movement now ram
pant in the Democratic party is
either a revolution or a fiasco. If
it is a revolution it will sweep the
country; if it is a fiasco there are
yet five months in which it can
shatter itself into fragnents
against a golden wall.
If the Republicans were going
to declare for a gold standard,
the outlook might be different, but
they are not. As a matter of fact
the platform will be even more
friendly to silver than the decla-j
ration made at the Ohio conven
tion. This, in conjunction with
the tariff issue, will keep many
States from going over into what
would other wise be a long list of
silver States. The Eastern States
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVEN
TION. V y
The above convention has been
bnsy all the week completing its or
ganization. Not until Wednesday
was a permanent Chairman selec
ted when Senator Thurston was
chosen to fill this position.
The convention received and
adopted the report of the commit
tee on credentials besides also the
reports of other minor committees.
At the full meeting of the commit
tee on Resolutions the silver men
found themselves in a hopeless mi
nority. The sub-committee report
ed in favor of the adoption of a
gold-standard, and when it be
came apparent that the commit
tee on resolutions would report to
the Convention in favor of the
adoption of the sub-committee's re
port, Senator! Teller, Dubois, and
Mr. Cannon, silver leaders, but
life-long Republicans, aunounced
their withdrawal from the Repub
lican party.
Up to going to press Thursday
night we have been unable to as
certain who has been nominated,
but it is generally conceded that
McKiuley will be, if he has not al
ready been, nominated.
without one of these despicable se
crets fraternities, or a four hun
dred" society of soft-head ninnies.
We are glad they have been stop
ed at Wake forest. A college is
democratic if it is anything. It
is no place for aristocracy or ex
clusiveness of any sort. The
young man too good in his own
opinion to touch elbows on the
campus, the play ground, in the
debating-hall, the boarding-house,
the public reception, or the parlor,
with any of his fellows, is too sor
ry a fellow to be suffered to be
with him in the classroom. The
college student who snubs any of
his fellows, whether by personal
or organized snobbery, ought to be
kept out of college until he out
grows his idiotic notions.

disease that -science has been able to cure in

constitutional disease, requires a constitu

taken Internally, actinir directly upon the

er, "Atlanta."
Appreciating the liberal patron
age extended to our YORK RIV
ER LINE for so. many years, and
realizing the importance of being
thoroughly equipped for our new
Chesapeake Bay Line between Bal
timore, Old Poiut Comfort and
Norfolk, in connection with the
lines of the Southern Railway Sys
tem for all points South, this Com
pany takes pleasure in announc
ing the completion of its new
steamer ATLANTA, which, with
the magnificent and swift steam
er CHARLOTTE, will be placed
on the Norfolk route.
Tbe steamer ATLANTA which
has so aptly been termed the
"New Queen of the Bay," is a ver
itable floating palace. She was
built by the William Cramp &
Sons Ship and Engine Building
Company, of Philadelphia, at a
cost of 8250,000. Her dimensions
A Warning To Tobacco Growers.
A small caterpillar has been discovered
mining the leaves of growing tobacco.
The caterpillar is about one-half inch
long, greenish with a dark head. It
makes an irregular blotch mine by eating
the green matter, or parenchyma of the
leaf, leaving the skins intact and the leaf
transparent. The caterpillar is extreme
ly voracious, and as several usually mine
one leaf, the leaf is soon rendered worth
less. The insect belongs to ttie sub-fam
ily of Tineid moths, whose best known
representatives are the clothes and far
moth and the Angumois grain moth
This particular species is yet unnamed.
Remedies: Being protected by the
skins of the leaf, no ordinary poison or
insecticide will destroy the pest, nor can
it be hand-picked without destroying the
leaf. The only treatment is to watch for
leaves showing transparent blotches and
when found to remove and burn them.
So far this pest has been reported only
from one locality in North Carolina, but
it behooves tobacco growers everywhere
to look out for it and destroy it as soon as
it appears. If it becomes common it will
greatly harm the tobacco industry of the
State. Gerald McCarthy, Entomologist,
