Frknds and BreUiren of Mississippi:
jo briefest terms, but with deepest
feeling permit me to retnrn my thanks
for the unexpected honor you have
conferred on me. Away from the po
litical Bea, I have in my secluded
home observed with intense interest
ill parsing events affecting the inter

rejoiced te see in the diversification of
labor, the development of new re

which may be anticipated it is not
possible to forecast, but our people
have shown such fortitude and have
risen so grandly from the deep afflic

fair to entertain bright hopes for the

Editor North State : The issue in
the next campaign .will bo :
1st. The right of the people to select their own
rulers.
2nd. An honest ballot.
Upon this platform all men of broad
liberal views can unite.
I suggest the following ticket. No
man on it has erer been defeated for
office. It would receive one hundred and
twenty thousand Republican votes and
twenty -five thousand anti-bourbon Demo
cratic votes.

The above ticket would make the ring

And the following extracts are from
the Asheville Jiepublican, which does not
claim to belong to the "Alliance," but
represents those straight Republicans
who claim to be honestly Republican for
the principles they think characterize
that party, and who refuse to endorse
the tricks, outrages and compromises of
Mott and his crowd. It all presents in
teresting, light literature. Says the
Republican :
"We are informed that the editor of a
Liberal paper in speaking of the ticket to
be put out by the Republican and Liber
al bosses, said it would be a Democratic
tieket for which any Democrat could
vote. Such a ticket certainly will hare
vious condition; but it cannot deprive to get Democratic votea, if it gets any,
ior .Republicans win not support it."
"If we wauted the Democratic State
ticket elected, we would arrange matters
after this fashion : A coalition ticket
with a Democrat for Governor who is
the father of the illegitimate child,
called present county government, for
Lieutenant Governor, Kuklux who has
held office as a Republican, and so on
down. This would be exactly in accord-
wit h some people's idea of har-
ne of that which is nearest and dear
est to my heart, the riht to be a Mis
sissippian, and it is with great grati
fication that I receive this emphatic
recognition of that right by the rep
resentatives of our people. Reared
on the soil of Mississippi, the ambi

thing which would redound to the
honor and welfare of the State. The

TOBACCO!
If ever you had a showing for line prices, it is in
the crop of Tobacco to be planted this year.
We keen a store, and strive to have in that store everything a farmer would like
to buy, both for himself and his family. We want our customer to be a cheerful man,
and if he has money in his purse he will be cheerful; but he can't be if, when he comes
to sell his crop, it brings him little or nothing. Everybody knows that on the fertilizer
he uses, allowing the season to be at all favorable, depends the resnlt of his crop, and
this being the case, he has no right to risk that crop on anything that has not been
tried and proved. The following will show what has been "tried and proved," in the
fertilizer way, on fine tobacco, and Major Ragland, of Halifax county, Va., the great
tobacco authority, and grower of pedigree tobacco seed, is the man who tells about it.
If anybody knows what tobacco is he certainly does:
"There are several brands of fertilizer manufactured specially for tobacco, differing
in composition, price, and merit; and after repeated experiments with most, if not all
the best, the author gives it as his decided opinion, that for fine, bright, silky tobacec
OTHING EQUALS the
'ANCHOR BRAND'
Tobacco Fertilizer, prepared by the Southern Fertilizing Company, Richmond, As.
And this opinion is based upon seventeen years' trial, and often in competition with the
best of other brands on the market. It is a tried and proved fertilizer, which the plast
er can use without the risk of getting something unsuited to his crop; and therefore I
caivrecommed it with confidence."
Messrs. Mathews & Williamson, of Reidsville, N. C, wrote the following to the
Company, and state that they have seen nothing since to change their judgment.
"From our own personal experience, and it covers a long time, in watching the re
sults from the use of various brands of commercial fertilizers handled in this section, it
is our mature judgment that the 'iiNCHOR BRANS' stands at the head of all
for the production of fine, silky, yellow tobacco. The plant seems to receive more fitting
nourishment from the use of this article than from any other, and we are of opinion
that if our farmers made it their stand-by, we would hear less of light chaffy tobacco,
having some color but no body, and that the farmer would realize the result he cnght
to enjoy from his labor; for low-grade tobacco will not bring big money.
Now we want you to have "big money" for your crop ; because we not only desire
you to make good bills with us, but pay for them when they are made ; hence we han
dle the 'Anchor Brand,' and will supply you, in quantities to suit, direct from the
factory. We don't want people to abuse us about their fertilizer ; we, therefore, sell
only what time has shown to be the best. So, make no arrangements in this line, until
you see or confer with us. You certainly can't afford to take any risk this year.

Colored Vote Letter from
n Colored Man.
Cor, News and Observer.
Allow this brief communication to ap
peaafa your next issne. It has been sug
gested to me by many colored voters of
Eastern North Carolina that should Maj.
John Hughes be the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party for Governor and Hon. John
S. Long for Superintendent of Public In
struction, that the Democratic ticket
would receive their hearty and unquali
fied support. But of course you and many
others of the Democratic party will con
sider this communication all gossip.
Why t Because you think on the day of
election we colored folks will all be solid
for the Republican party. Plsase consid
er and remember we have got more sense
than we used to have. Here, don't you
suppose we have got sense enough to
know that Major John Hughes is as good
a friend to us as Messrs. Price, Johnson,
Leach, etc., who used to be outspoken
Democrats, abused the colored race on
the rostrum, a thing Major Hughes did
not do when he rae for Lieutenant Gov
ernor t Again, Mr. Editor, you and oth
er Democrats may think that we colored
people have not sense enough to know
that a majority of so-called white Repub
licans are Republicans for office, aud that
it is an easy thing for one to say he is a
Republican and then not be one. You
forget that we have carefully noticed
things and find that a Democratic admin
istration is a better friend to us thnu the
one which preceeded it. You fail te think
that we colored people are aware of this
fact. Suppose we should unite our 96,
000 votes with the white Republicans'
11,000, and elect the State ticket, not one
man elected would be a representative of
the colored race the 96,000 colored votes.
Then it is true, this is a white man's gov
ernment ; then it is equally true that the
colored race should support that party of
the government who gives it the greater
benefit. We colored people are told that
the present system of county government
is a nuisance. It may be a nuisance to the
white Republicans, but certaiulj it is far
from being one to the colored race, for it
benefits the race. Why ? Because it gives
the colored people more and better
schools, &c. Because, under the admin
istration precediug this one, my race was
used by another set of white men as hew
ers ef wood and drawers of water ; and
now they are out and the present set in.
And this is why they think the present
couuty system is ot so good. Why I
am in favor of the present State adminis
tration is because it treats my race more
like fellow citizens, and their educational
interest is more carefully guarded.
Respectfully,
K.
and the continuity of the leads being
new a settled question, it only re
mains to settle the question of quan
tity to enable us to say that there will
in a few years be no necessity for the
United States to import $25,000,0(10
worth of tin and tin plates from Eng
land, as they did in 1882, and which
paid a duty of 45 per cent, on about
$19,000,000 of itif not more. There
is area of 5,000 to 6,000 acres in which
the surface indications justify me in
believing that tin is to be found, but
I have no doubt that it will be found
during the year 1884 at other places
in Virginia, on the line southwest of
this locality. We have several thou
sand acres of this land under contract,
but I am writing particularly now or
the "Martha Cash Mine," at which
such work has been done to justify
the assertion that we have in Virginia

it to be the oxide of tin, but did not

Capt. Henly showed them to Prof.

them to be the best cassiterate but
