Pjtty the day when such is ti e fact. Jhis fright seems to be merely fear of the Alliance and that is assum ed purely on the ground that the Al liance js path bound. Perhaps this, is the worst 'that can be said of that or ganization, at least it is the only feature, outside the so-called "Sub-Treasury' scheme, that has not the full endorse ment of the great Democratic party. Be that as it may, as a matter of fact, M far a the good people of Rowan are .concerned, there has never been a time since Zebulou Vance, now the greatest Southern Statesman aliye, has been in political life that our people have not been in thorough accord with his political principles as enunciated from jth.e hustings or the floor of the United State Senate. His alliegence to our people has been as absolute as their de motion to him. S far n fVlP W ATPHMAV 14 PflllMrn. ,ed, it has never seen the day when the farmers of this section of the State could nojb be trusted in natters politi cal. Ttyeir organization to effect cer- tain lines of needed legislation, look ing especially to the relief of abuses and burdens heaped upon them by the misrule of the republican party, is but natural and should be encouraged, Any legislation unfavorable to the farmer, is unfavorable tp us all. This troth is undeniable, A study of the political history of the two parties will demonstrate that to the Republican party must be charged every evil com plained of, not only by the farmer?, lwt by all the advocates of the princit pies of Democracy. a proof (f jthis assertion, it will be seen that the Democratic party has al ways advocated part of the demands made by the farm ? jeri, ani further it Imiiu rp j it.l into ts platform substantially the whole of fciie.se deiuauds. With this state of lliiiigs who can doubt that the Demo cratic majority polled this fall will h fur in excess of the normal vote of Ihe State! There is no issue between h farmer and the Democracy; they ttauf soimiy, shoulder to sljotildar, tightiug the eneiuy, and a rousing vic tory will crown the fight. Mark that.

It is generally believed that their talk of in dependence will end in talk.

In their independ ence, in their education, and in their he found the salvation of the race. Thev spoke strongly for these things yesterday. W ill they be true to their professions? We shall see. That Republican Convention. "The" Republicans of Rowan, in their convention here last week, did not ap pear the most sanguine. They went through the form of holding a con vention with considerable effort. A- pathy seeme to preside, small courage to act as secretary, and indifference 10 hover over the assembly. There was but a small turnout. It was a pepper and salt mixture, with only ft pprink lingof salt. U has been pawing strange how a few white people can mingle thus, with mostly misguided negroes,with the avowed purpose ol try ing to wrest from the hands of the whit people of the State, the control of government. ' How they can be recon ciled to their surroundings is the ques tion. Looking purely to the environ ment of the two classes,it seems irrecon cilable, yet they doit. It is hardly prob able that any of these gentlemen will care to gratify our curiosity on this score. Be it said to their credit, that the negroes of Rowan are a well behaved set: sufficiently conservative in their views to prevent any trouble between the races. Still these gather ings with a sprinkling of white men present presents an incongruous spec tacle to which we can never grow ac customed. As innocent as they ap pear, however, they are part and par cel of that political party which en dorses Tom Reed, Mckinley and a hoard of others who are seeking to ruin this country financially; to op press the poor with greater burdens of taxation ; to perpetuate, by fair means or foul, the supremacy of republican ism ; to wrest from the people the right to control their own elections; to in crease the eniquitous tariff and to rob the treasury in bogus pensions. They are the embodiment of all that is false in the science of good government, and are the enemies of the masses of the people. In Mississippi the politic ins are looking to female suffrage as an anti dote to the race question. We fail to see how such suffrage can help the sit uation. Most likely it would increase the republican vote, as all the negro women would march up to the polls and vote, while many white ladies would not. There are enough voters among the men yet, and we cry halt here. When isthe land speculation to end? Almost all towus of any prominence in this State is sorely afHcted with a town-lot boom. We shall only name Salisbury as one of the solid ones, tho' we have several other points in view J when substantiality backs the booms Dr. Grissora. Dr. Qrtssom, recnt)y relieved of his position as Superintendent of the Ral eigh Insane Asylum, has found ia Denver, Colo., a home. His towering political ambition is u ml i turned by the recent fires through which he was called upon to pass. In very truth this man was treated well in conserva tive 'old North Carolina Justice, tem pered with a great deal of mercy, was meted eat to him 4in the hour of his anguish. His very soul should breath gratitude toward his native State. But uot so. He has turned his tongue in malice, pervertions, false -accusations and calumny upon the home of his boyhood. He has been interviewed several times by the ''Denver Republi can1' and has delivered himself of us false a lot of rot as it has been the mis fortune of this writer to read in many a dav. There is something wrong - j - " about this man he is and has been bad at heart a long tim .?. or ii is mind must be failing. The last is the most i charitable. The Situation in South Carolina The Greenville Xeirn commenting . f it T A. on the situation oi tne democratic party in South Carolina says: The Democratic party of South Car olina is not split. There is no bolt. The delegates who seceded did not un dertake to form a seperate convention. They left the convention because, in their opinion, that body was going be yond its powers. They did nothing more than to prepare for the public and is sue a statement of the reasous for their actions. The party has now two constitutions, conflicting in some im portant respects, and two executive committees. It is not likely that any question will arise under the constitu tions or that there will be a conflict of authority between the executive com mittees between now and the meeting of the September Convention. If that convention confirms the new executive committee, both will stand beyond dispute. If, in the face of the "acknowledge ment of the Commissioner of Pensions that he borrowed $12,000 on notes en dorsed by George E. Lemon, the king of the Washington pension attorn ies, the republicans of the committee in vestigating Representative Coopers charges against Raum decide to white wash that official they will prove themselves to be possessed of an un usual amount of ktgaU" even for Reed's henchmen. When this charge wax first made, and before investigation was ordered, Mr. Raum and his friends repeatedly stated that Lemon had never endorsed his notes. Finding that Mr. Cooper had absolute proof of the transaction he now boldly admits it nnA vt ftttpnints to denv that he J 1 has favored Lemon by advancing his business in the Pension office. Lemon did not endorse those notes for noth ing, and if he had not taken himself off to Europe to ccre testifying Mr. Cooper would have made that fact even clearer than it is now. The commit tee which has taken a recess to the first of September, has, by its rulings (voted against by the democratic mem bers) made it almost impossible for Mr. Cooper to prove the other charges, but what is admitted should be enough to make a vacancy in the head of the Pension office. Senator Carlisle presented an argu ment which no republican Senator could answer when he showed by price lists and actual bills of sale that certain American manufacturers, who are given an increase of duty upon products similar to those manufactured by them upon their plea that they nre necessary to prevent their being driven out of business by foreign competitors, are selling their manufactures in for eign eountries much cheaper in some cases 33 and 50 per cent less than they sell the same articles in the United States. Mr. Carlisle said he thought, and the consumers will un doubtedly think with him, that if these manufactures could afford under the present tariff to send their goods to foreign manufacturers of the same ar ticles and sell them for less than they did at home, that it woald festly unjust to the home raise the dutv ill order be m an i buyers to to allow - j these manufacturers to make their American customers pay a still higher price. No republican attempted to make a specific answer to Mr. Carl isles argument it can't be answered. "Prelection" is the humbug cf the age. The consideration of Democratic amendments to the Tariff bill, is the briefest and most consise legislation being done iu the World to-day. The Rads kill 'em as they fly up; the scamps are good thots too, for not a a one has escaped yet. They use the improved McKiuley gun, which "Reed Lodges" very rapidly. Boss Quay ia again in supreme com mand of the Senate, He was lenient towards Senators Hoar, Spooner and the rest of his opponents lettintr thm down easy by allowing them to report a new resolution in place of the one CC .11 l uueret, 0y nim. But ,t amounts to precisely the same thing as if kis reso- uuion nad been adopted.' The tariff bilt istobe voted anon lam 4K- first week or ten days of September, mm as a special sop to the radial niut the most of the republican Sai - utors have signed an agreement to vote ror me consideration of the Force bill in December next This does not mean that nil of the republican Sena tors will vote for the atrocious meas ure, for a number of them have inA that while they were willin tn t to have the bill considered they pro poses voimg against it. The radical element hopes to gain four votes for it from the new Senators from Idaho and Wyoming. Senator Gorman was asked rh,.f k m mm K V V IlltV UK democrats proposed doing in regard to uie farm inn. He said: uNo agree ment nad been reached as to the close of debate upon the tariff bill. When there liaa Iuia ,... . i 1 - iH Miiiif mi r it nrt n thoMMigh and satisfactory discussion of tlw u:n . we gree, in accordance with the custom of the Senate, to k n vf npon it.

None has vet been . - i r received, w hen it comes we will de 1 "r .. cide whether it is satisfactory if not 1 1 m J we snail make a counter 'proposition.' SiMl'lf.V IJnuMin.. ! 1? 1 ll a wo weeks more the democrats, havincr wniivi uui uiau i Of tn sir m shown the most striking jinconsisteu cies of the bill, wguld be perfectly o wining to have the remib icans imif , .V, and let the voters of the country, at the Congressional elections decide which party was in the right. I here is no use in trying to down Montgomery, she is a curious countv aud raises many curiosities; the latest i . . ... being a kitten with seven legs and eight feet. This kitten is the nronerkv of Mr. Atkins of Troy and is renortcd as being as playful and frisky as any other kitten and promises to make fine cat. With a two headed scorpion and a seven legged kitten Montgomery has a hue neuclusfor starting a m seum. The protectionists in Congress art detenu :nel to increase the tariff all that the Southern poor mnu has to use. They will keep modkevin with the poor folks in these United States until one of these fine autum days something will drap. They are a bad set to fling votes, once they ge riled. . i A homicide occurred at Statesville last Saturday night at a "testable." Gus Murehtson (col) was shot down in his tracks by John Jones (col.) The row occurred by Murchisou plant ing one of his brogans on the little footsy tootsy of Jones' sweetheart. Jones escaped and is still at large. Speaker Reed could not stand the pressure any longer, and on Saturday he agreed that Thursday and Saturday of th is week should be devoted to the con sideration of measures reported from the committee on Labor, aud the House so ordered. He heard from some of the Labor organization in his district. The visible supply of American cot ton as computed by the New York cotton exchange is 534,918 bales against. 495.282 for last yenr.

From present indications the crop of "D. D.'s" will not be so rank as for some years back, unless some of the other colleges agree to begin where Rutherford left off. The rail road strike, North, is still Ion, both the railroads and'the strikers claim to be getting the best f it and it is hard telling which will give in first. A negro woman, "Aleck" Morton was convicted of the- murder of Julia Morton at Kinston last week and was sentenced by Judge Arm field to Le hung on the 17th of October. The Oil Well at Greensboro. The position of the Oil Well was made public this morning, It is sit uated on the land of Mr. J.J. Phoenix, about one and one half miles south east of the city. Several prominent business men cave visited the wen to day and all are confident that show for oil is good. The well the has and On only been sunk about thirty feet the oil already shows freely. 1 he catation is of a gravelly nature strongly impregnated with oil. stand 'ng over night, the oil accumulates thicklv on the water. Mr. J.

Mr. 1 horn ton exanur - ecrthe ground for one third ot a nine on the south and two thirds of a mile on the north side of the well and could find no indications of granite. r m - m t . - Mr. 1 horn ton has had large expe rience in the oil regions of Pennsylva ma and is confident of the ultimate success of the well here. Mr. Phoenix is pushing the work ahead with all the possible speed, and in a few days test of the oil will be made and the re sult made known to the public. Greensboro lktdy Patriot.

Milksickness. A TENNESSEE FAMILY HAS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH .IT- ..-- 1 Athens, Tehn., August '"22. Six of the Irvin r risby family, of the ninth district of Polk county, Wbre terribly poisoned a tew days SHice by what is supposed by the neighbors to be mil k- sickuess, there being new land in th section where the fatal weed exists which the cows ate. The father, mother and five d aught ers were taken down and suffered, in tensely, ine symptons were severe retching and vomiting, and great thirst and dryness of the mouth and throat. The father lived eight days and died mo next to die was a nve or six year old daughter; then the mother died after uu illness of four or five davs. The other members of the family nre still suffering from the terrible ef fects of the disease or poison. A sim ilar case of this kind occurred in tin same family about one year ago, when one of the children died. Unconstitutional. Iu a long nnd able discussion of the subject, the distinguished jurist, Mr George lickner Curtis, argues that the force bill is unconstitutional be cause it would impose upon the cir cuit courts of the United Statos funct ions that are not judicial. For exam ple, the appointment of supervisors ol elections, which is au executive funct ion, is, by the bill, made the duty of the courts. Again the bill allows an appeal from the decision of the return ing board in an election to the circuit court. The natural effect would be to multiply election contests, to interfere with and delay the proper business of the court, and to make it virtually the final returning board. Now, the Con stitution defiues the extent of the ju dicial power of the United States courts, and this definition the force bill at several points sets at naught. Driven Craxy By Cigarettes.
