I wish ITinew exactly who it
is that is oppressing:Uhd ;poor

wish I' knew tbe distress that
hangs like a miillstone over my
friends, , Gus Bates and Tom
Lyon, and t)Ia " man Berge and
C. M. Jones, - and Connor, and
Tumlin and John Brown, and a
host of other big farmers in the
county. They have all got rich,
enough to leave . home when
they ; please and send their
children off to college, but still
they are not happy. .They seem
to think we have been doing
something against them, but !
declare I have not. -They say.
they want a warehouse and a
loan from the government, so
they can hold their, cotton and
force the manufacturers to pay
15 cents pound for it. Just
so, tbe great west wants ware
houses for their grain, so as to
make us pay $2 a .bushel for
wheat and $1 for corn. If this
thing all happens what is to
become of me? T won'r have
more than a shirt and a half
all the year round, and my wife
will wear her eyes out patching
undergarments. Carl and Jes
sie won't have but one biscuit
a piece and nothing but Waters
to carry to school. What
will become of the shoemaker
and the blacksmith and the
carpenter and the brickmason
and the day laborer? What
will become of : all : the poor
lolks an the negrots -and the
cotton, pickers? J have before
me the tables of the last cen
sus, and find that there are
4,250,0(10 farmers and planters
in the United States, and there
are 13,000,000- laborers, toilers,
working peopled who are not
farmers. There are over 3,000,-
00Q laborers-o:i the .farms who
work for wages. W hat will
they say to flour at $5 a 100?
There are over 1,000,000 me
chanics and nearly as many
railroad operators and half as
many milliners and; factory
hands, women and children.
What is to become of them if
the farmeis get up a corner on
the necessaries of life? One of
England's greatest statesmen
was . Richard ' Cobden, :r whose
powerful . ppeeches abolished
the duty on grain, and the in,
pcription on his monument is,
hHe gave the poor cheap
bread." - .
I tell you my farming friends,
this thing . will - not do. You
nave gone far beyond reason
in your demands. Demagogues
have led you astray I say it
considerately -d e m a g o g u es
have led you far away from the
original purpose of your order.
Don't you know that you will
never live to see your cotton in
a government warehouse? Don't -yon
know that you will ne er
see a dollar of that $64,000,0U
that vour leaders say is coming
right away from England to
aduahca on your cotton? Don't
you know that all these prom
ises are a delusion and a snare
and will fade into mist after the
elections are over? I do co ifess
to some grief and mortification
over the credulity of my farm
ing friends. I feel but little in
terest irpolitic3. My politics is
for the south to go on prosper
ing as, she hab done since the
war. The farmer, the laborer,
the mechanic, the merchant
every class has prospered. Dil
igence in business, and a con
tented' disposition will make us
all happy. There are no people
upon ear tli that have as. much
to be thankful for as we have.
I feel like I am alone in these
views, fori know that the press
is against me, and most of the
people, but t feel be tter for hav
ing had my say whether it plea-
es anybody or not. I see poli.
ticianfi dancing.; and prancing
around the alliaLce, and talking

don't know the difference be
tween a bull-tongue and a twis

who said that there would be a
veryshort crop of cotton for he
had noticed that the red bios-
soms were an iaumg on. . no
said that just a9 soon as a poor
farmer hadanytbing to sell the
price went aowa. uowon was
down, and fodder had dropped
from 82 a hundred to SI. andi
sweet potatoes . had- already
gone down to 60 cents. .a bushel,'
and in two months from '.now
corn would fall 25 or 50 per
cent. We must have a big ware's
house, "said he, an score the
produce and keep it'until- the

Hflther Nature's Curiosity1 SibUf1
.; There ia a strange sight to be
seen in Halifax county, and its
worth a days travel to see it.
The Weldon New' says of iti
4 "The- bones jjof ii some .huge
monster i are i foupd withlu the
borders of this: connty. One of
those bones is of considerable
sizes; it spans Fishing; Creek.
which forms the boundrv line.
between . Halifax, and Nash
counties, and is firmly embeded
on each shoret The length, of
the bone is, unknown as no one
has ever tried to find out. The
creek where this bone crosses is
30teetwide. The species of ani
mal in which this bone belongs
is not known, but are thought
to be a part of the skeleton of
some prehistoricanimal of im
mense size." - ',.
We have known of this boue
for thirty years. The late Prof.
Kerr examined it as did some
men - from Philadelphia. The
stream is nearer forty feet 5 wide.
The bone is in either bank; ex
tending across the"deep stream
and is a foot or so under water.
Sixty years ago it was above
the water-and was used as a
crossing. Prof. Kerr" easily re
cognized what it was. It ia the
vertebrae -of a whale and ia
about 110 feet Jeng. Prof. Kerr
said" 90 feet were exposed and
from the shape of it about' 20
feet were iu the bank he sup
posed. He took out one of the
articulations or Joints and car
ried it to the State Museum at
Raleigh where it can now be
83en.
About fourteen miles from
that bone and about one mile
this8ide of Halifax Professor
Kerr excavated at the bottom
of a ravine, some forty feet deep
we suppose, (for we have seen
it) the nnder jawbone of & whale.
That also was taken to the State
Museum. The Professor of
Geology, etc, at Yale Universi
ty had a drawing of it made by
Rev. Dr. Robert 3- Moran, who
was tne nrst man or. science to
examine - it. He pronoanced it
the under jawbone and his
opinion was confirmed by the
Yale Professors. We saw the
bone when Dr. Moran caused
part some eleven feet to be
exposed. We saw many marine
shells first uncovered, and mark
you probably forty feet under
the earth. What the expla
nation? Simply this: From
Petersburg, Va., to Wilmington,
N. C, the entire section of the
country was once under the sea.
There can be no doubt of this.
Tbe bones of whales could not be
found one hundred miles from
tha present boundaries of the
Atltutic Ocean unless- where
now is land was once covered
by wa'er. Riding nincror 10 mil
es west of Halifax along an nn
broken fiat, deep sandy road,
you come to a hill, with a total
change of soil and from that
first abrupt hill (you do not go
first down and up, strik the hill)
y ou,go up and down for tbe next
hundred miles or more. Here
were the limits of .the great
oceau no .doubt. Wilmington

all Good democrats must Stand
by their dtcUion. .Zli
Among the recent peche at
(be state Convention of Demo
cratic Clubs that of Mr.E. C. Bed
dingfieldStcretary)! the tale
farmers: Alliance; will iiot be
soon forgotten. . It was a strom?,
earnest and eonviucing plea to
the white men of North Caroli
na to present an unbroken front
in order to preserve their liber
ties. Hescorned the intima
tion that the Farmers' Alliance.
even in an indirect way, w hid
be re ponsible for the defeat of
the Democratic party, and he
showed that the relief needed
by the farmers could be gained
only in the Democratic party. He
did not believe that the Demo
cratic party had always lived up
to its principles, but he did
know. that its prinslples, if car
ried but, would bring relief to
the farmers and all others. So
strongly aidhe believe in the
Democratic principles that he
said,' though" of Whig parentage,
if his father had lived and the
old parties had remained, his
conviction would have caused
him to differ with his father
and join his fortunes to the
cause of Democracy;
I His remarks upon the neces
sity of settling all differences in
the Democratic party at the
primaries, and then supporting
and electing the nominees,
w hether personally acceptable
or not, were apt; telling and to
the point He pointted out that
.he real fight was in the prima
ries in North Carolina. At the
polls there can be no division
among white men bo long as the
great negro column stands un
broken and compact. divide
is to give control to the negro
party. :- ' . p''::f
He emphasized his position
along this line and was loudly
cheered and applauded, But
valuable and important and pa
triotic as his utterances were in
favor of white supremacy and
the need of a thorough organi
zation, the part of his speech to
Which we desire to call particu
lar attention, and to commend,
is that in which he said that
there was no desire upon the
part of the' Alliance anywhere
to antagonize men because of
their profession or calling. The
Alliance: has" loftier aims and
holitr purposes, and he believed
that three-fourths of the Dem
ocrats in North Carolina who
did notielong.ito the Alliance
were in earnest' and hearty ac
cord-- with i-the Alliance in the
great fighf it is snaking for fin
ancial and other reforms. So far
from desiring to antagonize them
said Mr. Beddingfield, the mem
bers of the Alliance extend to
them their grateful thanks and
high appreciation for the noble
efforts they are making to ad
vance the cause of equal justice;
We shall not trust ourselves to
quote his just and proper tribute
irrthe great army of profession
al and business - men in North
CarbliBa" who are laboring -.to
secure the ' same end that the
Alliance has In view. : Nor is it
necessary- Happy as-his words
were-it is the' sentiment that
we desire to emphasize. In thus
paying :;a deserved"tnbute to the
men who, though not eligible to
membership in the order, are
doing I much to carry out the
fundamentalprinciples of the
Alliance " - and Democracy (for
they are the same)tMr. Bedding
field ga ve f xpre;ssIon to the sen
tlmeut of every patriotic mem
ber of the Alliance.
; There ia no feel ing among the
patriotic Allian ce men against a
man : because of his profeHsioor or
calling. Whatever ' has- emed
like it has been aHemporary ebul
lition, and cannot last: and it ha
beenjcaoatd by incorrect - informa
tion and hasty action.' It is no
more a part of Democratic priocU
pies. It Is aflame which quickly
barns oat." The real position oi
the Alliance ia one' of sntaeoaism
and hatred of evil traditions and
unjast laws and men who are re
sponsible for them, and not of dis
trust or. hatred of ' a class. If a
faVmer . seeks to perpet nate tbe j
evils nnder which they softer, they
are as much his enemy as if he
were'a lawyer or a doctor or a
bankers The Alliance looks k be
ynd a man's profession into bis
principles and his acts, xney are
tbe ; tests. Whenever any of its
membeia have failed to dm this, and
hive opposed a man because of his
profession they havagone contrary
lot their confessed aims and been
'g&Mtj of injustice. Ia a speech,

Among those attracted was our
own . Representative Morse, of

never so openly, lived up to the

the action of i the majority of

that is exactly what was done:
The Speaker ordered the. South

Col, Elliott and given ! his seat
to the negro Miller. Several

Mr. Morton, the gentleman
who presides ' over tie Senate
when he he has nothing more
pressing to do, seems to e a
little slow in keeping up with
the news procession. .Ia spite
of the fact that- nineteenths of
the papers in the United States
aside from the cringing Repub
lican organs, list winter print
ed something about the bar
room in Mr. Morton's new hotel
here, then just opened,' and
that the iV. C.T. U., ic national
convention assembled, passed a
resolution censuring him for
selling liquor by the drink, he
this week naively t announced
that he had just discovered
that drinks were ' sold ' in his
hotel, and at the same time he
announced that he had at once
ordered the sale stopped. If it
were not for the honorable po
sition which he holds I should
be inclined to call Mr. Morton
a hypocrite. ' -
The Senate has amended and
passed'' the bill intended to
make the United States Courts
a part of the Republican parly,
although ostensibly its obje;t
is to define and rgulate the
jurisdiction of the United
States Courts. ;
There are now three negroes

report on the bill, which - has

TOBACCO ITBVrS

A' great deal of tobacco which
has been properly cured, Is al
lowed to damage, in t handling.
and does not bring anything
like the price it ought to. The
subsequent-management i of a
crop of tobacco is of as much
importance and requires if any
thing more care " than curing.
