He is eminently an apostle of liberty And embraces every opportunity to impress upon the Allianeemen the absolute necessity for not falling cot because of, differences, of opinioe. The doctrine of ostracism fiads no ' place in his code, and he fully de monstrated that within the Alliance all men are entitled to enjoy their honest convictions and to express them. This is as it should be and places the Alliance in a much more favorable light before many of our crraat manr of our Caldwell Alls o . rf anoemen do not subscribe to all of Mr. Terrell's opinions and take the liberty of differing with him with out falling out with him, know ing that on all essential principles they are in touch with him as are all lorers of their country. Al though Mr. Terrell is a Democrat and naturally hopes that the Dem ocratic party will reap the benefit of the Alliance movement, his general .tone indicates that he anticipates a third PrtJ movement rather more favorably than the most of our Caldwell Alliancemen do. Com ing from Texas and the West, h perhaps does not understand the conditions in North Carolina in their fall significance. The Dem- ocratic AHiancemen of North Caro lina and especially of Caldwell coun ty see no necessity for a third part j in this section. They say this and. Wolie (ueT K & uu m icu o um uic . - - - the Western and Northwestern States mav necessitate a third par- - ty they do cot believe that such a ! . No doubt Ui, Terrell fally appre- ciatea and endorses this idea. He : does not voice the Caldwell sent; ment about Mrl Cleveland.

Our people are not prepar ed to throw Cleveland overboard, as apolitical Jonah. They are in fa vor of letting him sail to- port in the same boat with them even if j.

No less than 2201 sab-Alliances are in the State and the membership has rolled up to the great figure of 100.000! The 20th instant was the fourth an- niversary of the Alliance, which made its humble start April 20,1837 t with Ashnole. No"T"iL. of Anson county. The growth of this strength surprises even the Alliance men themselves, great as thesr expecta tions might tare been. JTbe average n about 23 Alliances tj a county , Wake has more" than 60. Resides tbe sub-Alliances there are 96 county Alliances. It is figured thst the ne gro Alliance, which iseeparate and district, Ras 15.0VO members. The other libororAnimtiop, the Knights of Labor, claims 10.000, bat a Is much to be doubted Tbe Knzht3 have lost all power or influence in North troJ:iia. FiTe Tears ago they bad much sireagih in this dis trict and 'demoral-sed toe democrat ic party. - TO REFORM BOTH PARTIES. Secretary Barnes of the State Al liance w&s asked as to the third par ty prospect. He sail! the Alliance was cot fighting the Democratic par ty, but was seesirg to reform both parties. Some newspapers have made the Alliance extremists very angryJtbe latter being men who want every thing to go their way or not at all. XO THIRD PARTY IX XORTH CARO LINA.

The returns of thePcrops for the current month, which will be pub lished ilay 1. will make a better showing than the most sanguine hoped for in March. After all the delays, a pretty fall corn crop is planted. There is a reduction in the cotton acreage. Natural canses produced the lauereffect, for there is not time to prepare the ground and piast the cotton. There was a re quest for a reduction, as the last crop was too large. It is down in pries cow to an anprecede&jed fig ure. There are no com plainu about scarcity of labor, from which it woald appear that the negro exodus did not damage the farming inter- .A XJLXfiX TXCTT CXOP.

He devotea him elf to his duties as president of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern road, which 8 to be completed to AUaata, by Dec. 15, next, A QUESTION OST THE FKXALTTLStirr -The peualtT suits against 40 of the railways for failure to report are now things of the past. The su preme court put a quietus on one, the test case, and the Superior court of this county finished the others. It is ascertained that in 18S9 the State did not furnish the railways with the report blanks. CO RAILROADS IN THE STATE. Speaiingr of railways brings up the fact that there are over 60 in op eration in the State, including brancbes. That shows a wonderful growth. The increase here is over 200 miles annually, or more than twice the increase in all New Eng land. The Danville and Western railway will not be operated by the Rich mond and Danville, but Col. A. B. Andrews will bo its operating president THROUGH FROM PAINT GOLDSBORO. ROCK TO The railway commission has trans acted its first public business this week after adopting rules of prac tice uearly iike those of the United States, commission. It notifies the R. & D. railway to run cars through, from Paint Rock to Goldsboro with out changes. It will also look into the matter of depot accommodations Tne law requires tMt there shall be proper accommodations of this char acter. The commission is also ta king in hand the matter of tele graph charges, by requiring the Western Union to equalize these. XORTH CAR0UXA STILL SOLID OX CLRTELAXD. Mr. Clevlaod has received a very waim invitation to visit the State in June and attend the Teacheis' Assembly at Morehead City. He is getting back into favor. An Al liance man said to day that his re cent disclainer of an alleged inter view was good as far as it vent, but that it did not go far enough. They thins he ought to declare for free "coinage, pure and simple. ATICIOCSTRCSTT. The State has 300 convicts now in Cumberland county engaged on the extension cf tbe short-cut of the Atlantic coast line. 0:ie of the con. victson Wednesday committed a terrible crime, outraging a venerable white woman. It appears that he was a trusted convict and was sent on an errand. . THR IXTKR STATK EXPOSITION. The Stales are falling ir line as regards participation io the Inter state exposition here. West Virgin ia, Georgia, and Arkansas will have large exhibits in which some of the leading railways will participate. STATE IMMIGRATION COXVKXTIIOX. Gov. Holt call for a State Im migration and development con vention, to be held here May 13, meeu with Ja general response. Many counties will regularly appoint delegates. In no way can unity of action in the development of the State be better or more quickly se cured. DESTITUTE OF BIBLES. In all parts of the State theie are houses in which there is no Bible, as is shown by the monthly reports of the 104 Baptist Missionaries at work nere and also by those of the 17 col porters. - It is remarkable to observe how many peoole are thus "unproridod with the Word. Tnous anas oi Bioies are given away an nually. A STRONG TEAJG The AVtrj and Observer and the Inlelhfneer are to unite their strength: in ail probability next month. The paper thus formed will be a strong one. It will have ample capital,; this having already been subscribed. ' GRASSES AND GRAPES. The State experiment farm, which is maintained nt by the State but by the United States, is just cow an interesting place to viaiL. Eighty kinds of grasses are growing tnere. the most exact tests being made by order of the Government, this being one of the points specially designa ted for this work. Tnere are also in progress teats ox loreiga grape Ttnee, ox wnicn scores oi kinds are ia the large new graperr. the first in the South. ; All sorts of cross of foreign grapes on the native Tines are being made.

Ur. Timll's Spsick. Mr. Benjamin Terrell, the- Na tional Alliance Lecturer, made' a public a Id re s in the Lenoir Court House, on lhursday at li a m. to i . l: rT . ' a moaerate auuience. xue season is a busy one and many farmers, who otherw ise would have come to hear niin, were prevented from heer inability to leaye their work. Mr. Terrell is a pleasant speaker and entertained his audience for an hour and a half. He declared that the Alliance is not ami does not claim to be above fair criticism but that it invites it as one of the most helpful things in an educational campaign. He then enumerated the demands of j the Farmers' Alliance and made a j most excellent Democratic speech j in favor of them all, for with only j one or two minor exceptions the de- ,j mands consisted of cardinal Demo j cratic principles. He enumerated j the alien ownership of land (which President Cleveland did so much to i check), ttp financial system with I nothing but gola as a legal tender t for all debts, the accumotaliou of the wealth of the country in the ( bauds of a few monopolists, the ne ) cessity fr the Government control j of railroads, as among the wrongs against, the people that merit right ing at the hands of the people's rep resentatives. He said that men should vole their principles and that they 6hould vote as their con sciences dictate regardless of what party it might throw them int-, which is the true doctrine to track. A man who yotes against his Con science ought not to be allowed to vote in our opinion. He touched on tbe third party idea and sail that the Alliance will never orgnix- n to a third put j but that, u?der certain contiagencirts. a third par'v would spring up and that it w.uis e the duty of Alkaftcemfn to s from among the three parties '.h one that would come nearest ta -r rying out its policy and support il He said that the Alliance would not support Mr Cleveland for President but that if the Democracy would pass all the Alliance demands and nominate a Westesa man in sympa thy with the Alliance it would car ry the Alliance vote solidly. He said he had heard that the silver policy of the Alliance had som critics in Lenoir and that in what he said on that score there wouM be nothing person U or ill-natnirtd against them. Wo thought he in tended to give an exposition of the free-coinage theory but rere disap pointed. He said thi gH. siher and paper money shojl i l! be legal t nder for all debts bat :hi gold a lone was. He the a explained how defective our financial system is aid declared thu it :aked flexibility and elasticity andc-inacitr to meet the needs of the peoo'e. . From that he drifted into a dbcussion of the sub Treasury plac. but gave no thing new on thau He reiterate! that the Alliance demands and their discussion form part of an educa tional compaigo aiid that they are liable to change whenever they can be bettered He closed by ad risi ng the AHiancemen to observe the vir tues of charity and forbearance, and to seek to win tbe friendship and es teem of all clasee of the community. He said that there are differences of opinion among AHiancemen but ad vised tolerance anions the brethren as well as between AHiancemen and outsiders.
