A drn-c through, any section of the country will show that compared with last year, there is really a scarcity of cotton iields. Wheat, oats and corn are to be see,n on all sides but only here and there do we see the familiar rows of lit tle 'waxen like cotton plants popping up out of the ground. Where a cotton field is seeiij though, ono-with a knowledge of iann parlance, pronounces that it is a good "stand." Cotton has a very good start. In some field's it has been chop ped out and the plants are growing finely, la some fields corn is just above 'the ground, while in others it is knee high. Wheat and oats never looked bet tec. at this lime of lire year and all signs, point to a splendid harvest. Jii'ii.ii V t!o Meeting. The fire last Sunday night put -an, ab rupt end to Rev. N. S.

Gardeners :hould cut this out for future reference. Xr. Hall's ' Lectures. Rev. Dr. William Hall, editor' of the International, of New York, de.livored a lecture in the Bsptist church Tuesday njght on "The Resurrection." The ad mission was free and the church was full of eager listeners. D.-. Hail talked an hour-and twenty minutes. He is a very eloquent preacher and the audience was swayed continually, and moved from smiles; to' tears. At the close he an nounced that he would deliver another lecture Wednesday night on "llow to get married and how to stay married." Before he. began the hotise was again filled. lie talked an hour and fifty min utes, and gave one of the best lectures that was ever listened to here. It was a splendid combination of wit and wisdom. At the conclusion he announced that he would deliver another lecture here on June !)th if one hundred tickets could be sold. About half of that number have already been subscribed for, so the treat is assured. However, the date has been changed, and the lecture- will be deliv ered on Friday night, June 10th. : i J-X- Hi Card of Thanks.

Charlotte threw open her gates and her heart, and acquitted herself admirably, as she always docs. The address of Senator Hill was an' cf- fort worthy of the occasion and the man. Wilmington Star. Notwithstanding the large crowd in Charlotte on the 20th, good order pie vailed, little drunkenness" was seen, ai;d only two accidents reported. The little son of Mr. E l.

The funeral ee k . 0:Jj('r Ci'r. took place at Paw low that one of the big democratic'' leaders has had a hearing, we wonder if Mr. St. John, the great national leader of prohibition, will receive an equal welcome on the 27ih. His coming o soon after tho 20th is inopportune but -we hone he will have a hearing. However hopeless the cause of 'prohibition may seem at this juncture, St. John" and his followers are lighting the battle of moral ity and humanity and merit the respect of ali who realize and deplore the dread ful carnage that. is being wrought by the devil's greatest abettor iu life, '"Kirlg Alcohol." In conversation with Mr. Scott Brown, a former graduate and now one of the managers of the Keely -Instil ute, on the the'20ih, he said befoie hi-; treatment it would have been utterly impossible to have passed such an occasion without getting drunk, but now thero was no temptation for him. Keely ,has solved the liquor problem, but unhappily the reiicf is not in reach of the poor. Since the national and State governments must -license the business, cf making drunkards and receive a part of the profits arising therefrom, they might in part atone for the evil by paying for the remedy and giviiig it frco to those who are not able to pay for their cure. 00, 000 poor souls fall each year before the fell destroyer. Tho government helps the liquor men to -kill them!. Let it help Christian people to-savc I he in. We are glad to state that the butter and cheese factory is under way. The contractors have the pillows ready for the superstructure as soon as the mate rial arrives.

'-" Extract from T)r,.Ta!.nwge sermon of 34 ay loth, text, the dumb devil. But do not let the world divide the church be cause fall this for the dumb devil is just as conspicuous in the world. The two great political parties will soon a semble tojuild platforms for the presi dential candidates to stand oik A com mittee of eaei party will be appointed to make the platform after proper delib eration tfie committee will come in with a ringing report jwhereas and whereas and whereas. Pronunciations all shaped with the one idea of getting the niost vote. A' I cxpiesfcion in regard to the great moral evils of the country ignored No expression about the liquor traffic ftr that would loose the rum vote. Xo ex pression in regard to the universal at tempt at the demolition of the Lord's Day. No recognition of God in the his tory of this nation, for that would loose the vote of the atheists. Bat whereas and whereas and whereas nine cheers ii i ' . wm do given for the platform. The dumb devil of the text will put one wing over the republican platform andj.be other wing over the democrat platform". There is nothing involved in-the" next election except offices. The great con ventions will be opened with prayer by the chaplains and if they avoid plati tudes and tell the honest truth in their prayers they will say, "O, Lord we want to be postmasters, consuls, foreign min isters and United States district attor neys, for that we are here and for that we will strive till the election next Nov ember. Give us oflice or wc die. Wo think the Alliance has no reason to be discouraged at the result of the ! Stale canvetitiou. I: gave us for nor a man whom we honored with the highest olliee in the gift of tho' order in tho State. Mr. Scarborough, superinten dent of public instruction, and Mr. Coke, secretary of state, represent the Alli ance and hs principles as enunciated by the last two national councils of the or- der. They object to governmental ownership in t'ae St. Louis platform, but that measure was premature as we had at Ocala demanded "governmental con trol, and if that did not correct the evils of which we complain, then ownership." We should have adhered to that policy, and tried control before demanding ownership. Great revolutions can only succeed by successive steps, and by at tempting too muehwe sometimes loose all. Our nominees also -object to drop ping the tariff issue out of the St. Louis platform. That was another mistake, as it had been advocated by every State and national council of the order. We can't complain at the platform tf the Suite democracy, and if the national : democracy incorporates in its platform the Alliance deaiands for an increase of the cturenev. Government control of railroads, and a tax upon incomes, ever' allianceinan should not only supp-ort the ticket but go into the campaign with ' enthusiasm. If, however, the Chicago convention ignores issues that three mil lion of Alliance people have so earnestly advocated we can have nothing to hope from that party, and we had as well stay at home and let Mr. Hill or Cleve land work out their own salvation with out our help. The importance of white supremacy in the South will take all good men to the polls in State elections. Will the Mecklenburg Alliance de partment of the Salisbury Watchman support the ticket nominated at Ral eigh last week, or wid it go cavorting around the political "arena. in a delirium offrenzw like i'oik, to the amusement of the spectators of both parties? Xeirs. The Watchman is not in the habit of "cavortincr around." If the JWrx has ever cherished any political principles it has failed to rell.ct them iroru its col umns. Like 'an unfledged bird.it has set with open mouth ready to receive any political food that those who contnd democratic, conventions might choose to L'ive it. V e. on the contrary, nave cherished and contended for certain measures that we believed would he for the good of fie count r. Among lho:C measures were ihe "unlimited coinage of silver'" an increase of the circulation and substitution of a national legal cur runcy. for bank notes, reclaiming public lands unjustly granted to corporations, the suppression of gambling in farm pro ducts,, and a graduated tax upon in comes. The fact that these measures were embodied in the State platform shows that the element whom wc repre sent were, dom'nant in the convention, and the crowd to which the News be longs were only there to endorse what v dictated. The battle that the Alli ance has made for three years fur politi cal reform is shading the iiemoc'-atic .l ni forms of the States and will bear fruit in the national convention, and wt .". not reirret to sav we have made the fieri. t without unv hein fiom the Xius C3 - . or papers of that character.
