' a t . . yi . - - We have had a fine rain throughout the county. We talked With a number of farmers last Saturday from different sections of the county and they say with out an exception that the outlook for a line crop was never- better at this date ri their recollection for a general crop, cane, wheat, oats, cotton, vegetables and other crops. A prominent unmarried merchant in h's city had a narrow escape from kid nappers at the, Methodist church last Sunday night. They succeeded in get ting Mold of him and got partly out of he building when by a superhuman ef- brt he extricated himself. We will ni)t call names as we do uot wish to be called into court. The Progressive Farmer this week ad vises Bro. Furman to go north and learn to skull a boat. That wouldJe a useless expenditure of money.

Statement of the amount paid on account tf the crimiual court, jjnd amount jeeeived from the court for the years 1S90 and 1891: AmouRt paid owt for W $1,823.31 Amount paid out for '91 6,255,40 Total for '90 91 - $10,973.80 By amount from fines, jury taxes and con vict labor for '91 8,785.44 $13,903.92 Bal. to the profit of county, $ 2,925.12 The convict labor used upon the roads is estimated at 41 cents per day the es timate placed upon it by the parlies who work the convicts. The above statement shows that the reyenue from the criminal court not only pays back to the county the cost of the court but gives the county an annual profit of $1,402 56. third There is considerable complaint among die citv eaters about stale meat, such as eef, fish, etc., also vegetables. Why is' it a city of this size has no inspector for that purpose put on the track. Let him visit each and every place ybere fresh meats and vegetables are sold and if he finds stale meats or vegetables being of fered for sale condemn them. This may affect the doctors, dru-rgUtfc'and under takers business but it will probably save suffering and death to many. Bro. Caldwell says in his paper on the first thai he renews his pledge to aban don the old theories and try something new if the old way is tried again arid fails. He quotes Paul as saying, "Ex cept thou abide jn the ship yo cannot be saved." If there' was no other evidence than the acts of the present . democratic Congress it should be evidence that thet masses- will hot get relief from those quarters. Paul or some other man said now was the accepted time, delay ,riot till to-morrow. : ::, .'u ". Rev. W. W. Orr'a singer, Mr. R. B.

Hunter knowing the great love the negrqjms for singing pulled the throttle wide open. After the sermon was over an old darkey came to him an tjie street and told him that he had always been told that a white man could not sing like a negro, "but I just tell you boss you sings more like a negro den any man I'se seen iu dis country." The laboring people of Charlotte hav ing 7or sometime desired to organize into a "Citizons' Alliancey'but there being no organizer in North Carolina and having no charter, they proceeded on Monday night to organize into a local order and assumed tbo name of "The Laborers' Protective Association." The object, as we understand it, is to improve them? pelves financially by inculcating idea3 o!

Will we "support the ticket nominated at Raleigh" on the ISth ull?- Yes, if the licket supports the platfown put up. at Raleigh on the 18th ult. As! measures are vastly more ha porta htthaa men, if Ihe action of 3 party convention in nom inating a ticket is bidding on votes, surely the principles enunciated by the conven tion is more bidding. ; The , platform of 2, like that of '90, 5s a modification of the Ocala demands, and we regard it as a liberal concessipu on tho partlof the auti-Allianee element and. we appreciate the spirit that made them endorse it.

If they do not) we are neither logically nor honorably bound to sup port it. ; - ' . '.. ' - J- EHaa Carr, Oetavius Coke, and John C. Scarborough, as good alliancemen, will, of course support the ' platform. Mr. Daughton, haying been elected speaker 01 auAuiance iiouso of liepresentatives, can be trusted to do the same. Wc have it personally from Frank Osborne that be 'finds no objection to the Ocala platform and favor any measure to give financial Vrrelief to the people" and though differ ing with him in somo things,' as a brii- laut Meeklenburgcr, and a son of Kis atiier, We will gladly give him a vote. Mr. R. M. Furman we believe has distin guished himself by denouncing the Alli ance and it3 principles, but f as "charity for all and brotherly love ! among our-1 selves" is a motto of our order, if Mr Furmainshows that he has repented we will even vote for hTm. Biitn, Aycock and Glenn are gentlemen of honor, and we suppose would not accept a rjomiua- tion and not support the platform, so we can sec our way to support them. Now, having answered Mr. Harris' question so fully, will he have The kindness to get on the stand. The third plank in the platform drafted at Raleigh on the 18ih savs 'that we de mand the abolition of national banks anl the substitution of legal tender treas ury notes in lieu of national bank notes, etc." Will Mr. Harris "support" that plank? Fourth plank: We demand that Con gress pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the .dealingjh futures of all agri cultural and mechanical products,' pro viding such stringent system of proceed ure in trials as shall secure prompt con viction, and imposing such penalties as hall secure most perfect compliance with the law. Will Mr. Harris support that? Fifth plank: That we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Sixth plank: That wc demand the pas sage ot laws prohibiting the alien owner ship of land, and that Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by alien and for- jeign syndicates, and that all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of such as is actuajly used and ueeded by them, be reclaimed and held for actual settlers only. Wi.l Mr. Harris support those? The following amendment was offered and endorsed unanimously with excep lion of a few votes from Charlotte: Resolved, That wb favor it graduated tax upon incomes. Will Mr. Harris answer that? We will await an answer and if it is aflirma five, we promise that our zeal for the ticket shall not be less warm than his en thusiasm for the platform. We further promise, if he gives a hearty support to the principles involved in the above we will gladly welcome him as a co laborer of the Alliance. Gideon's JJaiul.

Harris. The News in its issue of May 27th cop ies our reply to its fling at the Watch man in a previous issue and comments as follows: j All of this is very nice and sweet and comforting. WeWero really unprepared for so flattering an endorsement from brother Steele. We are glad to learn that he is satisfied that tho "battle the Alliance has been making for three years for political reform is shaping the dem ocratic State platform of the States and will bear fruit iu the national convention" Omaha, or Chicago? While appreciating brother Steele's compliments, we are still fain to observe that he utterly j ignores the innocent question, "Will the Mecklenburg Alli ance depaitment support the ticket nom inated at Raleigh! last week?" We observe again, that tbe Watchman does not run up the ticket, nor docs it say a word for j or against. After all brother Steele's kindly allusions to us it seems rather rude for us to again insist upon him showing his hand ou the State ticket, but we are wicked enough, to do so. Will you support il?" .We will not so insult Mr, Harris' intel ligence as to suppose he did uot know we meant Chicago since wo were only speak inrr of democratic conventions. We tol- lowed Lee and Hampton from Manas?a to Appomatox and have since voted the democratic tiekejt, and we believe we possess the inherent right of "an Ameri can freeman to jcheerish political con victions of our o'wn, aud vote as con science dictates, without being answera ble to partisan bqsscs'or whippers in, yet as mo try to be a3 amiable a3,the News is 'wicked'' we !wil gladly gratify Mr. Har- 5 CAXALiOGVB. -."BTJCKBTB" IS KING OF MOWERS, The ''Buckeye excels in Simpltc ily, Dtirabilifj', Light Praff, Onat Cutlin;i Power, and perfect Pitrin Sod and ConnectioTt.
