l E A LLIANCE TO It UN

1 Ite Democratic and Repub
Hean Forties Dead,
"Let not him boast ho put
tpK armor on lite Mm who
t'ketH it off," "Let those laugh
who win." "He laughs beat who
laughs last" and otlier maxims
to that tffect. We have had a
i-ttipi eDisode up here in the
. xaooatain3! and the way it has
fjirned out ll iooks iieo some oi
ni laughed at the wrong time.
Bui it ia all over now, and we
all laugh, essept those sanguine
inriiridaals who sta&ed their
trreeubucks and, lost. They are
not vet calm and serene. It is
right hard on a feller to lose
his man and his money too. If
a mdu will bet on an election, I
liavo always thought he ought
to-let against his desires, and
hen if he win? he has got his
money, and if he loses he has
got his man, and so comes down
OliV
Well, it- did took like the old
doctor had everything in a
swiu a round here and all along
tin iailroad for 130 miles. Just
ihiak of a congressional district
130 miles long, iv& a great rail
road splitting it in two, and sixteen-towns
along the line, and
the city of Rome zed hot besides
and almost everybody holleriDg
for Felton. Ha is bound to
vin," said his f rjeuds uthe dgvil
can't beat him!" and so they
staked their pocketbooks until
they were empty, and they are
ciupt still.
Bat these farmers "these
alliancemen" they made no
noise, they kicked up no dust,
they waited until they could
see- the whites of the enemies'
eyes, and then, they fired all
along the line. The woods were
fail of- them. Where did they
all come from? It reminded me
of the old times when Dr. Miller
used to run again &t Iumpkin in
this same district. The v stump
ed it together, and had big bar
beetles, and the sovereigns came
out by the thousand and eat the
inea. pnd drank the eloquence,
for Dr. Miller had as much repu
tation then as.! Dr. Felton has
got now, and he was called the
Demosthenese of the mountains.
Lumpkin was a big, beefy,
thick-tongued man and couldn't
elocute very much, but he was
a Democrat, while Dr.Millerwas
a whig.. He made Lumpkin
eick on very stump, . so sick
that sometimes when he bad
the conclusion he wouldent take
it,, and the boys all shouted for
Miller, and toted him around
like tha old Virginians used 10
tote Patrick Henry. Good gra
cious, what a racket they made,
but -when election dajLcame the
wool hats came slipping out
from their log cabins and hol
low logs, and from under the
clay roots " and other hiding
places,' and just everlastingly
snowed the , doctor under. I
hadeut forgotten those memor
able cainDaigns. and hence I
dideiit bank my faith in a san-
guiuar7 maner upon Dr. Feltons
success. I kept'dne ear open to
liear something drop, and it
dropped. But we can all laugh
and rejoice now for there are
bitrger things than the seventh
district". The nationis safe,
aud.. that is victory enough to
satisfy anybody. We did think
that we were jnst obliged to
Lavs. Dr. Felton in congress' to
fight the iinpendiug battle, and
and lead the forces and electri
ty the democracy; and swing
Lis Damascus blade and put in
his halleluia licks and save the
nation, but the news of our vie
tories have come over us like
the sounds of many waters, and
hopa has revived and freedom
ii&3 quit shrieking, and now
luaybewecan get along without
t e doctor. Mstybe we can. I
expect the old man Eloquent
has fought his last fight, and he
fought-it nobly He fought to
save the pure '.democracy, but
maybe it is not to be saved. I
s; e that Mr. Gorman, one of the
Aliiauce leaders, says that De
mocracy is dead andRepubli
'anism is' dead and the people's
party are going to run the n a
chine. Colouel Polk said that
loug .ago, and so did Livingston
hat- it was all smothered until
afUr.- the elections. It will come
''o-.it i ow, and it ought to. There
a"! as mauy republicans in the
..Alliance up North and Norths
wet as there are Democrats, and
they ere obliged to have a new
lame. Mr. Gorman isright, and
if the new party will do right
that is all we want. But
iyht now, when the democracy
lias won these signal victories,
rve think the Northern Alliance
ought to fall into line and let
'he good old dog wag his tail a
mile while longer.
But I reckon we will all stand
aside and let the farmers have
their own way; - Fighting them
don't seem to do any good. It is
like Colonel PatUrson, of North
Alabama, who,- at his first bat
tle with the Yankees was order
ed to take his regiment and
charge a battery that was away
over on a hill and was throwing
an occasional shell down in the
valley. "Boys," said he,
muet shoot a charging.
and
charge a shooting, and we'll get
'am". Ana V.n X I.
they got within about a quar
ter of a mile the bat eery sud
denly turned loose a terrific vol
ly of grape and canister npon
them, which demoralized the
Colonel and he waived his sword
and shouted; "Boys quit shoot
ing at 'em, quit shooting I say,
for it just makes 'em madder."
We will just quit shooting at
the farmers, and if they can get
the sub-treasury and run it, let
them do it. If they can't then
let them get something better.
Lex us all wait and see. If the
good old Democrat party has
got to die, let them kill it. Our
Georgia farmers are not in any
desperate condition and will do
nothing rash or unreasonable.
They are better off than they
were a year ago. The tax re
turns and the canceled mortgag
es prove that. The farmers of
Bartow were never in so prosper
ous a condition. Just contrast
them with the farmers of Kan-
sat, where out Jof 76,000 farms
69,000 are under mortgage. Just
think of that. And 26,000 of
these mortgages have been fore
closed,, and the farmers who
once owned them are tenants
and will liable to be turned ont
at any day. What is the matter
there? If the laws are oppresive
why don't the same laws bring
ruin here, too? There is not but
one farm in twenty-four that
has a mortgage npon it in Bor
tow county. What is the cause
of this great and alarming dif
ference between the farming
interests of the North and the
South? Why is it that Maine
and New . Hampshire and Ver
modt have been partially aban
doned by the farmers? Why is
it that so many of the farms in
New York and Illinoise and
Kansas and Missouri are under
moitgage? I wish that we did
know. If it is the laws, please
let us know what laws.
And thia reminds me of what
I have just read in The Andover
Review for November. It is the
organ of New England ortho
doxy. It is now lamenting the
decay of religious Interest
. m . - . A.
among tne iarming population
of the North. Dr. Dunning says
thac there are ninety-five towns
in Maine where no reiigious
services are held, and there are
more country villiages in Illi
nois witnout the gospel, than in
M T J.
any otner in tne nmon. oust
think of that! The great State
of Illinois that has two counties
that make more grain than all
Georgia. This great State that
Btands fifth in the scales of educ
tion, and fortieth in this grade as
of Christian religion. What do
vou say to thia you advocates
for education? Education re
gardless of moral training. Dr.
Dunning says that the Fresby-
terians have 1,200 churches
without pastors, an the Bap
tists have over 10,000! Nearly
all of these vacant churches ,re
in the country towns, where
farming is the principal occu
pation of the people. They once
had pastors or religious services,
but not now.. The nnmber of
educated men in tha Northern
pulpits id steadly decreasing
and the young men who are grad
uating in the theological semi
naries are seeking other callings
because there are no inviting
fields for them to work in. The
city churches are full, and the
country churches will not pay
enough to keep body and soul
together. .
The fact is that farmers whose
homes are under mortgage don't
take much stock in- preachers
or preaching. Nothing bows a
man down like debt, a debt that
he knows he can not pay. The
best index of the prosperity and
the morality of a community is
the standing of their preachers
Tf th neoDle are doing well
thev have got preachers and
they pay them and tney nx up
their churches and take a pride
in tnem. . roor ueuyie, yuui
Day: ooor pay. poor preach, ana
hence the young men wuo want
to preach are discouraged.
But, thank the good Lord for
his mercies, thi is not the case
at the South. Our small towns
are generally supplied, ion
can hardly find one that does
nnt have preaching in some
church every Sabbath, and Sun
day schools are almost univer
sal. Go to Pine Log or Euhar-
lee, or old Cassville, in our
nnnntv it von want to see Sun-
dav
avhnnifl. xnese are
coimtrv settlements, and some
nnA ft f them always takes the

On the whole, it does loos, luce

So mote it be. Bill Ahp.

J itvely Interest to our Headers
, it is the part of wisdom to
accept defeat philosophically.
We respectfully commend this
sort of wisdom to our friends
the enemy.'
The necessity for a reduction
of the tariff was evident to the
people of this broad country of
ours and they expressed their
convictions.
There was not a solitary Re
publican elected to the Legis
lature of Florida. The entire
Congressional delegation is
Democratic also.
" The Missionary Baptist held
their State Convention at Shel
by last week. The work that
this denomination is doing for
the cause of education is grati
fying to every one who desires
to see the cause of intellectual
and moral development go for
waid. A Railroad Commission th
people demand at the hands of
the next Legislature. A bill
wisely framed must be pre
sented aud fought through the
Legislature. The rights of
both the people and the Rail
roads must be carefully guard-,
ed.
If a town is' to prosper thtre
must be concert of action on
the part of the people. If there
is discord instead of harmony;
dissentions instead of oneness.,
of purpose, that town is doom
ed. It is men that make towns
more than natural advantages.
The people wiped out Ma
son and Dixon's line. There IS
no longer a ''Solid South" and
a Republican North. The peo
ple of both sections have come
together. The old bitter feel
ing is obliterated and the
North clasps hands with the
South in the great battle for
tariff reform. There is no lon
ger a Reuublican North. The
whole country is Democratic.
Raleigh State Chronicle.
Some of our exchanges pro
fess to believe the Republican
Senate will pass the force bill
before the present Congress is a
thing of the past. We do not
believe so. The Republican
party is not moved by hints,
but when the people knoeks its
miserable old carcas down and
sits on it, they will probably
learn enough not to spit n the
f ice of an outrage d public.
We admire smartness, but
more do we admire the solid
and substantial. The editor or
the man who attempts to be
smart at the expense of char
acter, may make people look
npon him as a brilliant meteor,
but he will never attain their
respect or confidence. Such
men may be interesting ind
charm the senses for a' brief
period, but they cannot sta nd
they have builde d on the sand.
Why cannot North Carolina
be well represented at the
World's Fair in 1892? The
tneu appointed to look atter the
interest of the State in the "mat
ter are urging the people to
think of and prepare to
make a display of the Old
North State products that will
astonish the people of the
world. If North Carolina was
properly advertlsed.millions of
foreign capital that is seeking
investment in other States
would be devoting itielf to the
development of this State. All
the State needs to increase the
amount of capital that is com
ing to our borders is - to let our
wonderful resources be Known
We have the Datural resources.
We need men with money and
energy, we must n.ave a Doard
spirit of enterprise and prog
ress if we would go forward
rapidly.
The work of the newspapers
in the recent campaign is an
influence that must not be lost
sight of. Truly the campaign
of education was waged to a
successful result and the news
papers have occupied the. post-
tion of earnest school teachers.
In giving the meed of praise
due let us not forget the news
papers of the land. Abuse "is
an evidence f appreciation
that they always receive from
those whose efforts to injure
and defraud the people are in
strumental in frustrating.
Words of appreciation from
those who favor their cause are
always very sparingly spoken
while deeds practically show
ing that appreciation are ex
ceedingly scarce and lonely. Is
there any class of our people"
who deserve a higher measure
of praise for the victory than
does the earnest, sincere editor
