Aaron jl. Bryant, color ed was made chairman and D. C. Helby, colored, Secretary. The col ored element was ill the ascendant as usual, only a little more so. There was some" difficulty for . a while in finding out what kind of a meeting it was, and what it was called for, fiually, however, delegates were ap- Kiin ted to the Congressional Con vention, ami also : i county execu tive committee. An order wasinade for the election of del" gates in the different townships; to meet in a nominating cou ven ion to be held in Nashville on the lirst Monday in August, B. J. ArchbelL C. E. Sears and Bev. Peter Garnett, (col.) made 1 LET ALL THE ENDS THOU AIM'ST AT, BE THT COUNTRY'S, WlXSON, speeches. Arthur Westray a dem ocratic darkey was called for and made a short and somewhat amus ing speech, but the ring leaders 1 supjKi.se thought he was hitting them in tender places and called time on him, and he had to take his seat. There was some uncertainty among the members of the meeting as to the names of the party to which they belonged till finally it was agreed to call it the Liberal party, it was evident however that it was the same old radical party with less white men and more negro in it. There was no encouragement to independents and strong indica tions that the colored men are dis posed to run things their own way in the luture. A set ol cot and dried resolutions were read by W. H. Robbius, Esq., and adopted by the meetiug. The republicans hav ing adopted anti-Prohibitiou as a plank in their platform, Mr. lloh- bins who hasjbeen the chairman of the county atiU-Prohibitiou Execu tive Committee steps down and out and Mr. W. P. Walker, takes. iosi- tion as leader of the opponents of democracy. There is but little doubt now about a straight out ticket being put in the field on both sides. Mr. Sears was about , right when he said every man ought to be pig or puppy one. He has labored for his party m this county- in its adversity and report says be thinks the party ought to reward him with the nomination for Register of Deeds. Gratitude however, is not one of the leading traits of party and he may not get his reward.. . Senex. July 10th, 1882. A Debate on Woman. IS WOMAN CONDUCIVE TO MAN S HAPPINESS 1 Affirmative Mr. DeBater (age twenty-five, unmarried.) From all of which, Mr Chairman, I think it will lie safe to conclude that woman is conducive to man's happiness. Women, sir, are the wings by which we poor men mount to heaven. Women, sir, are diamonds, and men's hearts are their settings. Hap py the heart that holds such a gem. Some females may be Lake George of paste brilliants, but the majority are gems of four-horse power and ten-inch focus... Many have, wondered at what date the world will come to an end.; I will tell them. It will be when the last woman buckles on her wings and flies away to aaother sphere. It will be when the last Eve stretches her hand down the ages, and grasping the great original, says: "You were the first, I am flie last. Alter me haos." (Great applause from the ladies in the gal lery.) ' ; Negative Mr. Suarlevow (age fifty, married, and father of seven shavers.) I "Is woman conducive to man's happiness ?" I answer that question, Mr. Chair- - w . ... 1 1 man. .o, Alter a uiversineu, cus sified and mussified experience with four wives, including the nsual ad denda of mothers-in-law, aunts, and female hangers-on, 1 feel able to ari swer the. question, no sir !! ! Women do not conduee, sir, and I'll prove it by tw o pictures only two, Mr. Chairman, but they repre sent the whole, gamut of female ef fect on man. ! My first picture dates back to the garden of Eden before Eve's arrival. Here you see Adam, a happy man, living on a large landed estate, amid peace and luxury. No annoy ances, no girl warbling a gray-head ed song next door, no coal to carry up, no Dutch grocery bill to pay j; all peace, all contentment. He never could lie President, of the United States ; yet even that canker w as quelled by the thousand and thir teen blessings that surrounded him. Eve arrived ! What followed f Why, Adam's first move was move ont. Through a woman he lost the biggest sinecure the world has ever seen. "Is woman conducive to man's happiness !" No, sir ! ! How did Eve accomplish th change, you ask ? Let me tell you that story once more, that the truth of woman's cusseflness may again lie brought before you. Imagine yourself in the Garden of Edenftakiug a stroll with Eve. You come to a tree laden with fruit, and vou sav : "Eye let me net vou one of those bauanas. They are ten centers, every one of them. No, she doesn't want a banaua. "Is woman conducive to man happiness !" No, sir ! ! ! In Adam's home life you have had my first pictim . In my home life you will uow have the second. My checkered Eh, boy ! A telegram for me ? What can it be ! "Mrs. Suarleyow has just given birth to two too beautiful baby boys. "Nurse." Mr. Chairman, I most close my argument, as I am wanted home Beiore I leave, let me say : Woman is not conducive to man's happiness Nor, sir ! Not by a five gallon demi jonn lull. N. C, FRIDAY JIJJLY I NOTES FEOM THE FAKM. : Stick to the Farm. It served in New York that a is ob great many country boys who had secur ed situations in that city are throw ing them up and returning to farm ing. Nothing could be more sensi ble. Lads who leave the pure .- air of the country for dingy cramped quarters, small pay, anil the rnees sao t drudgery ofcityltfe, pake a mis take, the serionsnesti of which they! often learn too late. HealtbjStrjength and ambitiou are sacrificed with no 4 prospect of retttrns to in -aajrwise compensate for theirrt loss, j The (lays of working up from nothing to the control of a business are practi cally no more hi the city, which is over stocked with boys wrestling with the problem of life. Fortunes may not be made by farming, but the lot is after all a-happier one, for it affords plenty of wholesome, fboc't sufficient hours of rest, numerous re creations,, and above all employment it bestows health, hardihood and in dejiendence. j ! The Mortgage Debt. if South ern planters and farmers wish to be come more prosperous they should at once abandon the pernieians credit system. In th.e cotton States, iwrticularly, it is a. weity draw biw'k. As the system is, practiced the planter or farmer gives the mer chant a lien on his crops to be grown and the merchant, being i folly se emed, furnishes the necessary sup plies and fixes his own prioesi The planter or farmer is; thus, wholly at the mercy of the merchant, and has no redress, against exorhitat rates. A decision, recently .rendered,.. by the Supreme Court of Mississippi, will afford the. farmers of that State some relief. A merchant who held a mortgage on a crop of a farmer foreclosed it. They allowed his bill against the farmer, although it was shown that the prices eharged were at least double, the decision was af firmed that the purchaser, was not in a position to decline the purchase on account of the prices charged, and that he acquiesced in the price from an over-ruling necessity. His extorted assent to the prices fixed was without consideratiou and was therefore void. Substitute for Lard. The seed from the great Southerii staple bids fair to help bring cotton once more to the front as Kingi of the gicultural world. The oil pressed frorii the seed is being used for culi ry purposes and is claimed to be superior to the best lard ; 'and its advocates are comparing it to the Olive oils of sunny Italy. . One writer says, we have; tasted the refined cotton seed oil, as a sub i stitute lor hog's lard, and we pro- uounce it a complete succesjs. The oil is clearer and cheaper titan lard aud has a 1 letter flavor. 1 House wives aud cooks will understand what, we mean by cheaper rwhen it is urged that a gallon of oils can be bought for $1,00, and that It , table- spoonful is enough to put ill a pint of flour for making biscuitj The discovery of the utility of the lil, if its virtues are not exagerated, is destined to prove'-a bonanza to the South. The seed will, in time, lKHHinie as valuable as the jint, and we can only establish manufacturies in our own section, which Will work up the fleecy staple, the seed and even the fibre on the stalk, it will iKif.be many years before the cotton section of this Union wills become the richest and most prosperous por tion of the continent. Major Bellamy, who once; was one of Georgia's most prominent slave holders, now employs 1 ?000v negroes on his large plantation, aud each family has a neat cabin, aj 'vegeta ble garden aud some lruit .trees ; a plantation church and a school are also maintained at the Major's ex. jiense. j Wilson County Politics. What a Wilson Writer Tells the Headers of the Farmer and Mechanic About Wilson County Politics. Although your paper is not much in the habit (jf my observation serves me justly) of publishing communications, . iierhaps a real newsy letter may lead you to relax your rule.. Wilson, you kuow, likes to lie heard . from. Attest the nu merous letters and telegrams to the News- Observer abo.utour Nor, mal school. By the way, I do hope that the latter are not sent "col lect," to our good frieudsi Ashe, for if they are, he may conjclude ere long that "iguerauce is bliss." We are on the ragged todge of at sharp and lively fight in! this sec tion. On Saturday last jwe uomi nated, "with singular unanimity, a ticket of unusual ability. , For sever. al years past some, of our leading men, the old Democratic war-horses of former days, who said among the trumpets, "ha! ha!" laughed at the shaking of the spear, had seem ed to retire from the field, but the crisis of this vear appears to have re kindled their ardor, and renew ing their youth like the ;eagle, our Brooks, Ward, Taylor, 3iountjc Davis, and Barnes, who bore the THY0D'S, AND TRUTH'S.' 21, 1888. battle-brunt ' in 'GS and '70, are again in harness and iu victory's vanguard. Our great political ad versary, who tossed aside all oppo sition as a lion shakes the dew from his mane, sleeps In his untimely grave, and "long will they seek his likeness, long in vain," before bis aaccessor arises; aud his mantle. upon ordinary leaders, would be like a giant's robe upon the shoulders of dwarfish thief. But to return, this renewed interest on the part of our old and honored political cap tains has naturally produced that happy fruit so natural to expect, in the way of judicious nominations. Of course, it is not expected that everybody will be satisfied. The professional - grumbler isalways on hand to depreciate everything not done by himself, but I wilt believe that those who iart to do right will finally succeed. It seems to have been firmly j resolved this year to test and trust the virtue of the -. peo ple. Our local ticket is headed by H.. G. Connor, Esq., of Wilson, our candidate for the Senate, who, though a lawyer, is proud to call himself a self made man. The sou of a highly respected artisau, his daily walk and daily talk evince to all observers his sympathy and fra ternity with the workiug class, from whojn his friends expect a large vote. : While, at the same time, his integritp and thorough acquaint ance with the commercial and mon etary interests of bur community have made him the first choice of those whose wealth and enterprise have done so much for our town and county. A mau of earnest couvic tions, Mr. Connor, was not a luke warm prohibitionistj but he recog nizes the fact that this is the peo ple's government, aud after the vote of last summer, he is ready to pledge himself to carry out, in spite, as well as letter, the decision ion rendered at the polls. What more is left to an honorable man? Elder William Woodard, nomi nated for the House of lleprescnfc stives, is a citizen of nnreproach able character, and a leading minis ter of that large and jiowerfnl body, the Primitive Baptists. We. hear there is some talk of his declining the nomination, but it is hoped this is untrue. 4 Still, the nomina tions of our grand old Democracy will not go begging; and we have more than one worthy man who can fill acceptably any office in our gift A. B. Deans, Esq., of our town, son of our worthy county commissioner, Wiley Deans, Esq., a young lawyer of bright promise, is our candidate for Probate Judge. Though above the iKiliticians role of attaching him self to the popular side on current questions, he is emphatically a man of the people, and they w ill delight to honor him., B.J. Barnes, Esq our prosiieetive Jiegister of Deeds, is a new man iolitically. Your cor resKindent knows but little of his capacity, bnthe was juit in nomina tion by men capable of judging, Our Toisnot friends opposed to him a worthy compcitor, but unfortun ately they could not lwth lie uomi nated, ami our neighbor townshii must remember that she already has one offu'er in county commissioner Wells. Our fire-tried old treasurer Col. John W. Farmer, again was j nominated. He bad a formidable opiKiuent in Simon Barnes, Esq., of Spring Hill, but the fact that, the treasurer is needed in towu almost every day gave the preference to a citizen of this township living , at a conveniently short distance from the court house. .Thus withgthe taets before you, you have some thing lietter than my opinion as to our prospects. Our people are re solved to draw the color line sharp ly and distinctly. "Under which King, Beuzouiau 1" "No more tam pering and honeying with Liberals and indepeudeuts," say our party leaders. The men, the idea, the enthusiasm of t:8, are with us. The disfranchisement of whites, the Fed eral bayonets ; the military compa ny boards of that year, are gone. Our hosts are in Iwunes lor the battle, and - the shout of a King is among them. " 'Gainst such united force what force can stand opjios- ed ?" ' ' ... QUISQUE. The following from the Farmer and Mechanic is a deserved xmpli ment to a Wilson county farmer: Col. Geo. W. Stanton, of Stantons burg, has a true model farm. It embraces about 500 acres aud can be sold to-day at 25 per acre. A few years ago he paid a. first-class engineer to survey the premises, and make a map. It cost him 100 besides the frame; but be now has the whole place under his eye, and can tell every year exactly how; much eaeh plot of ground yields and profits. We are glad to note that North Carolina has one farmer who was williug to -j pay $100 for a map of his farm. Col. Stanton uses all the latest labor-saving inven tions. He averages 10 acres a day to his plows and cultivators; aud does all his harvesting in similar style. ; ; It is so warm in Alexandria that the citizens have retired to their cellars, where Seymour's searching shells can not find them.
