THURSDAY, OCT. 29; JJ1. . ATLLIANCE FAIB. The second annual Fair of the Piedr moiit Alliance and Industrial Union FaYr Association iia? just closed. First, financially it was1 a success. -The display of exhibits has never been surpassed at any fair in this section of the country. The aniuseniaat was all that could b- wished. The' racrtrg was, as good as anyvrhere by scrub "stock. A daring feature of the fair wan exhibited by a country boy Hving near town. He climbed a pole twenty fee f High aad stoord on his head on the top of it. Soma crack shooting was done by Montana Charlie. He drove a centre, holding hU irun in various . - 7 - f J ' positions, and closed- by shooting an applet!! the head of one of his asso ciates. The balloon ascension by Prof, Thompson could not be made on Thursday on account of the high wkid, but he came off with flying colors' on Friday and received the plause of the entire crowd. The special days werewell attended Wednesday was Veterans' day, and they were Addressed by Hon. John S Henderson. On Thursday Harry Skinner, the father df the sub-Treas ury, spoke to more than 5,000 peoplr. His speech was 'well received and tie applause lie received marked well tie position our people take on tl is measure. . - . Friday wag Alliance day, and -Stale '"President 'Marion Butler spoke to large and appreciative audience 1 r one and a half boufg. from his gjieeeh Qur people have learned to eiteem him highly, and we are sure t hat tl?,e .order vy ill prosper in hi hands. . This is strictly an Alliance fair oivned and run exclusively by Alliance money. Every director and stock holder is a pure alliajaceman. Perhaps a word of its origin would be of interest. Three reasons ago one sub-Alliance formed a company and held a fair. The whole county saw tii3 imp-tane.e--of the step r and the county Alliance took it. in hand anc organized the present association. The grounds are being improved each year as the circumstances wil ahuit; and they have the best location for a fair ground in the State. When the grading on ike race track- is fin pbed the horses' hoofs can be sen al around the entire track. Y The directors feel much .encouraged ovep the papt success, and it is in jus lice to say that much is due them for jthe excellent management it received at their hands. ! This is, the first aod only pure Al hahce fair in the State, but it is hoped that others will catch up the echo and cjime in. - - The- Watciimaj- desires to do all cm in the upbuilding of t1e agricul turai clause. ,bor this reason alone -yve Jiave undertaken to supply our readers, with two valuable books, "La Ur and CapitaP and "Profitabbi'urni Kg in the South;' They are worth tt-n times what Jbey cost. THE TABLE? TlJRffED. If the farmers iu. our county had raised wheat last year as a sin plus crop they mfgbt ,feel considerably ,Cour-a-ed, for the r.eport from France alone js tlptt that country is short lr),000 000 bushels. Nearly all of .the eastern countries are short and will have to imporl hugely f I'm iu the TJnited States, and il the farmers will be oil the alert and .keepthHr wheat out of the hands of - the trust it is eyideut that they -will reap a good price. As we said, if tbe farmers had raised- a surplus wheat cn.p, such would be the case," but ,the tables ar.. tu nred snd he has on his h uids a crop 0f Cottori insWad.

Take it geri lleuien, and gi ve your best. f ? HAED ON THE PARTY. Tim Herald ot a recent date 'cora nientina on the speech of Col. Harry Skinner at the Fair grounds last Thurs day, says it did the democratic partj mueh li arm. . - - We-ean"t see it in that light. Col onel Sfcinn-er vas discussing a public measure from a no a -partisan stand- - - . T 1 1 point. Aether tner Wepuoiican nor he Democratic party has adopted the ub-Treasury measure. So any speaker or writer can discuss it in a jion-parti-san way. In fact any new measure hould be discussed that way. It is he people's measure In-causu it belongs o no furtv. Colonel Skinner discussed it from the people's -standpoint and id it well. His address- was vek- quent," and was full of clinching ar guments. If it was not the truth the Herald should show the public why it is not, instead of writing a two-column nrlifnrial savins that it had lhurt the v w - j O party." AEE YOU AWAKE. if you are not asleep you will begin rMit now to get new subscribers for the watchman. Reall our sliberal of Per in another place where we propose to give club-raisers a handsome cash resent on the first day of January. This lis no game of chance.

Senator Voorhei s had $750 stolen from him in Richmond last week by pick pockets, and when he spoke in Charlotte the next day he was the deadest broke man in the crowd. It seems that pick pockets had followed Hill to Richmond, for several other jnen were robbed. A colored bov in Wayne county was I bitten ty a lar:o rattlesnake --and died 1 ply because our legislator would then from the bite. - have no billion dollars to squander Several boys were out rabbit hunting away on champagne suppers and hun ncar Greeuslioro and on their wV home tired thousand dollar fennils. S7. one of their guns was accidentaly dis-' charged killing one of the boys. The Landmark says that John W. and J. R.

People's Tribune. A-creat confusion is abroad concern ing the name of the Ohio statesman. It does not seem to be decided whether it be Bill McKinley Or McKinley Bill. We don't know what it is now, but it will le "Dennis" pretty soon and for rvcrruore. Ottaira Journal. An agricultural paper thab does not stand up for the rights of the farmer and advocate the election of honest. respectable farmers to represent their class in official positions of honor and trut. is not true to the interest it pretends to represent. Pennsylvania Farmer. The Texas Alliance arrived at the conclusion that the place for the hand ful of schismatics who-were making so much noise against the sub-Treasury was on the outside, and it has lust no time in putting them there. The g. o. p. editors are shedding crocodile fears over them. Ottawa Journal. An exchange asks: "If taking the duty off of sugar makes it cheaper, wh v tides of general consumption?" Sim- pjoais Monitor Major McKinley said it was to the advantage of the farmers to have a factory at their door. Vet Mr. Mc Kinley failed to show how rich the New England farmers had become, ami he failed to inform his Ohio audience that Ohio is one oT the most debt-ridden, mortgage-cuised States in the union. Tecumseh Republican. The fanners are right. If there is to be a large profit made on our great cereal yield, they are entitled to the benefits instead of the idle schemers who howl on the produce exchanges and raise grain only with their mouths. If Europe has to pay a big price for our grain let the farmer and not the spec ulator be the gainer. Lincoln Call. Those "specials" from the West, an nouncing great "anti sub-treasury1" conventions are really aniusing to a Well posted Allianeeman. The "great interstate anti-sub-treasury convention'" held in Texas, had thirty-seven dele gates all Texans except two from other States; but Jav Gould's wires brought the news that it was attended by 1,100. People's Paper. Krep in the middle of the road, is good advice, and will apply to political parties and organizations as well as to individuals.

L 1 ' 1 1 111 "I A snorter wne man count ne none u we leave "the middle of the road" and seek for a "short cut" to success. Grange Advocate. The farmers, through organization, are getting in a position to carry out their demands. People who so confi dently declared and earnesilv honed that, the farmers wouldn't, stick to gether aregetting disagreeably sur prised. Farmers realize as they never did before the importance of harmony and a spirit of conciliation among themselves. In fact, nothing but in ternal strife can worko the destruction of the farmers' movement, for the victories already gained inspire confi dence and determination. Grange Ad vocate. In Kentucky the whiskey men are troubled about the over production of liquor. It is estimated that there is a surplus of 40,000.000 gallons on hand.

The Alliance In California and OlUo The Chilian Trouble Blane?s . Upturn Other Xews. Correspondence oi the Watcliman. Washington, D. C, Oct 26, J891 Thelheadquarters of the National Far mers' Alliance, always a busy place, now reminds one of the national com mittee rooms of one of the political parties during a Presidential campign; there is the same hurry and bustle and the running in and out of telegraph messenger boys with" dispatches. An official dispatch from Piesident Polk who is now in Caifomia reports tht the Alliance in that state now has greater voting strength, than either, its membership' having grown in about thirteen months to more than 100,000. The same dispatch savs that beyond the shadow of a doubt the Alliance will elect Hie Presidential electors in Californa next vear. Dispatches from various sections of Ohio assert that Senator Sherman is certain to be de feated andestimate that the people's ticket, winch although not formally endorsed by the Alliance as an organ i zation gets its strength from member; of the Alliance, will poll not far short. of fifty thousand votes. President Harrison and all of his Cabinet" are agreed that the latest Chilian complications the mobbing 1 i TT ri ! i and imprisonment or u. o. sailors at Valparaiso is a very serious one. In strut tions have been cabled to Minister Egan, which include demands for sat isfaction, which, while eminently right and proper, I his government will not be in a position to enforce for some time to cine should the present gov ernment of Chili see fit to refuse them. We have only two vessels on the spot, and the Boston, which sailed, on Sat urday for Valparaiso cannot get there in less than sixty days. It was not realize! unlit I he official report was re ceived how great ;in insult had inten tionally been given the American flag by the Chilian mob, const quently the indignation is just beginning to mani fest itself among the people, who ex press themselves as being willing to stand by the administration in any method it may adopt to obtain respect for t ie tug. Senator-elect Palmer, of Illinois, who is now here making arrangements for quarters during the coming session oftoii'ie-s, is evidently not a Hill man, or he would not have used the following language ia answering a question as to w hat !he Vhoughtrof the New lurk sKnationj: "I find the dispo sition in some quarters to suspect a lack of sincerely on the part of Gover nor II i I in desiring Mr. Flower's elec tion. Ir is urged that Governor Hill is anxious to show tii.it he is the only d ni(cr t who can can y New York. Now, if Mr. Flower, uillt all the pat ronage ami machinery -of the State under the control o Governor Hill, is not eltctotl it se ins tn me that it will rt quire a great dcujiof self abnegation on the part of Governor Hill to make the democrats believe that he was not in some sense responsible. In other word. If he has the State so well in hand, there -eeins to be no reason It) expect Mr. Flower's defeat. It he has not, then we have been led to expect too much. The election of Fiower will bring Governor Hill to Washing ton to take his seat in the Senate with a great deal more prestige resulting from d moiisf rated power than he could ever hope for from defeat. - In deed, iu the latter event I do not see how Mr. Hill can be considered in the light of a candidate for t h? Presidency." There is some speculation here as to whether Mi'- -Wanamaker will in his annual report, upon which he is now working, take occasion to hit back at Civil Serrice Comtuisioner Rose ve It for the blow the latter ainrext at-hiiiLin that memorable- letter to the president last winfer, which by the way was given to the press before it, reached the White House. -"As Mr. Wanamaker is a peaceable man it is hardly probable i hat he will rake up 'disagreeable by gones to raise a row with Rosevelt, who is pugnaci uis to an unusual de gree, owing perhaps largely to the fact that he is independent, of the salary he receives from the government. Mr. lilaine returned to Washington Saturdav as quietly as he left it last May. He spent yesterday very quietly, a portion of it with Mr. Harrison; and to-day he was in his office for awhile. But Mr. lilaine never was much of a promiscuous hand-shaker, so he soon tired of receiving the pleasant but none the less monotonous greetings of hU numerous calh-rs and escaped to his residence just a square away, where, as he has done ever sincp he became Se cretary of State, he will do all of his important work, free from interrup tions he always has when in the de partment. He is looking better than he has f or five year-, ai d he says he feels strong, hot that he fears to boast until he has tested his strength by a little hard work. Absolutely Pure.
