-V - ' f .1 The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C, as second class mail matter. WILSON, N. G, - - Aug. 6, 1891 GOOD MORNING! After an absence of. eight weeks, occasioned by illness,; the editor again lays 'his hand upon the Advanxe helm. To Messrs. J. E. Woodard, John Wagner, F. A. Daniels and W. C Mayo is due the credit for the work on the paper during that time, and the editor is glad to acknowledge his indebtedness to them. While not yet strong and fully re covered the editor hopes soon to he able to say that "Richard is himself again" For the many kindnesses show him by friends he is deeply apprecir tive and heartily thankful. n A GRAND FIASCO. In accordance with a call from Chairman, Jeter G. Pritchard, about three hundred Republicans, of the "tried and faithful" breed, met in Asheville week before last in Con vention. The Convention was tor the purpose of organizifjg a Protective Tariff League. Mr. Pritchard was a member of the last General Assembly. It will be remembered that in a speech towards the close of the session he advised the Republicans in the State to drop the issue of changing the present system of county government. He was the acknowledged leader of the Republicans and his words of .advice were more authoritative than those coming from any other member of his party. He declaVed that his party had gone before the people of North Carolina upon the issue of county government, and lost, often enough to clearly demonstrate that the people desired no change. He favored an abandonment of the issue since the people c f the State had decided so positively they desired no change. His position was hearti ly endorsed by the Greensboro North State, the leading Republican paper in theState. So in May the call for a Convention to meet in Asheville was issued. Ostensibly its object Was to formulate a new issue in State politics purely that of the tariff for the next campaign. It would seem that they hoped to have the co-operation and support ol many Democrats in the State, who, it was thought, were not in line with their party on this issue. But no 'Demo crats attended or lent support. Mr. Pritchard was made permanent Chairman of the Convention and Mr. J. M. Moody Secretary. A commit tee of thirteen was appointed by the Chairman to draw up resolutions. We notice they were all Western men. They reported the following, which were unanimously adoped : "Whereas, These United States, under a national policy of - protection to American labor "and American in dustry, have risen in the brief period of 100 years from thirteen feeble and sparcely inhabited colonies to a great nation of fourty-four State and sev enty millions of people, endowed with liberty, wealth and prosperity and happiness ; equal in ..dignity, power and influence, and superior in man hood, intelligence and virtue to the mightiest nations of the earth; "And Whereas, The several States of this union have acquired popula tion. wealth, intelligence and prosper ity in the proportion of the diversify of their industries, and the manufac ture of the products of the earth, pro tected from competition with the pauper labor oi the old world ; and "Whereas, The State of North Car olina, one of the most favored by nature ; genial in climate, fertile in sou, clothed in virgin forest, stored with exhautless minerals and amply peopled with the brain and muscle for development, is awaking from her long slumber and stripping tor the race with her sister States ; inereiore K.esoivea, inat we hail with glad approval the leaven of enterprise, manufacture and diversi fied industry which is animating our people, which has produced and is daily developing the movement of northern and foreign capital into our borders ; increase of markets, added value of lands, development of rich minerals and the vast wealth and prosperity that comes with the intelli gent manufacture of lumber, minerals and the products of the soil and the remunerative employment of idle labor. "Resolved, second, That we'tbelie e in the great principle of national pro tection for American industry as em bodied in the recent legislation oi congress known as the McKinley tariff bill, and we here pledge our best endeavors to promote their great principles throughout North Carolina by the organization, of protective tariff associations and the dissemina tion of protective tariff literature among the people." . ; The report of the committee on permanent officers of the leaue for the ensuing year 'was read by Mr. Hoskins, of the Winston Republican, andaHopted. President, J. C. Pritchard, of Madi son. Secretary, F. T. Walser. Vice-President, first district, G. W. Bobb, Elizabeth City ; second, Dan iel W. Patrick, Snow Hill third, George H. Makepeace, Sanford ; fourth, Michael Bowers, Raleigh ; fifth, W. H. Snow, High Point ; sixth Henry Dockery, Rockingham ; sev enth, S. A. Sharpe, Statesville ; eighth L. L. Greene, Boone ; ninth, R. O. Patterson, Governor's Island. From the excellent report in the Asheville Citizen we further learn : Cal. V. S. Lusk then moveel to ad- i iourn and made a short speech. Mr: Nichols of Raleigh, followed in a few remarks, and Chairman Pritchard fol lowed with a word saying that he meant, to push the local organiza tions all over the state. At this point Chas. E. Lane, a colored man of note in Asheville and throughout the state arose and asked recognition. Mr. Lane began to say something about speaking fof" the 100,000 colored voters in North Caro lina, but a delegate arose and made the point of order that a motion to ad journ had been made, and called for the vote. Lane tried to press his cjaim but the delegate held the floor, and the chair decided that the point was well taken, and the convention adjourned with Lane on the floor de manding to be heard. It was plain that no colored men were wanted as participants in the meeting. A motion was made by a colored man at the morning session to put a colored man on the com mittee on permanent organization, but his motion was ignored, and the black man given to understand that he was not in it. Among those present from the Second District, we notice the names ofW. W. N. Hunter, of Kinston, W. J. Polk, of Greene county and D. W. Patrick, of Snow Hill. Now what does this meeting mean?. Outwardly that the Republicans of the State are goings about on a new tack to win in the. next election. It will be noticed that no negro was allowed a voice in the Convention. They were ignored, or hushed up. The 100,000 negro voters in the State, who belong body and soul to the Republican party, had no voice in determining the issue upon which they are expected to stand next year. Can it be that the leaders mean to throw aside their ajlies ? By no means. They feel sure that when the time comes they can be relied upon, al though snubbed a thousand times. How is it that John Williamson, Charles Price, Plummer Cheatham, and other leaders of the race were not present ? ' - Well, the truth is, the meeting was a hook baited to catch Democrats, who. for personal or other reasons, are dissatisfied with the condition of their party, and the. presence of the negro element in the bait would be to distasteful to be swallowed. That is obout the sum and substance of the matter. The North Carolina Republicans have by their resolutions Tldopted at this meeting gone one step ahead. of anything heard of in the South. They swallowed the McKinley high Tariff Bill at one dose. They are bold and brave and will be leaders or noth ing. It is not to be thought of for one moment that the Republicans are in earnest about dropping the county government question. They may pretend to do so in the campaign, but but if they ever succeed, by hook or crook, in again controlling the legis lature of North Carolina, the present system will be changed as surely as the members draw their salaries. Not two months since, in the columns of the North State, appeared a com munication from J. Wiley Shook, one of the prominent and most influen tial Republicans of Western North Carolina, protesting against relin quishing the issue of a change in the county government. Mr. Pritchard knows that the hbnest men of his party will not surrender an issue they believe in for principles sake, at the behest of the leaders, for party ex pediency. And Mr. Pritchard knows how inconsistent his position is, and to what a disadvantage he appears in the sight of the honest people of the State. But all this monkey business at Asheville will deceive no one. t WORD A IJOI T SCHOOL BOOKS. The State Board of Education, alter carefully examining the books of the various publishers of school literature, adopted a list which they recommend to be used in the public schools of North Carolina. This action on their part has met with some opposition Jrom those, who, we are convinced, are- not thoroughly informed as to the benefit which will be confirmed on the public where this list is generally used. When that time comes (and it is is being more and more generally adopted) it will do away with the necessity of buying an entirely new outfit of books every time a new teacher comes into a neieh bonpood, as has feeeii the case here tofore. The list, it seems to us, would be difficult to improve. Maj. S. M. Finger,. the Supt. of Public Instruc tion, is a practical and able educator who has devoted his liie to the work, and has not allowed the theoretical to obscure the practical part, in his efforts to advance the cause of edu cation in this State.' His has been the guiding spirit in the selection of these books. . The retirenvont of the old Blue Back spelling book, and the adoption of Harrington's Graded Lessons in spelling, has probably provoked more adverse criticism than any other change made by the Board. We .eo,,!,,,,,.. u,.. . ......... v,.i: I for the old Elementary, having eaten three or four ot them in our early i school days. But the advanced ! methods required the change, and in .' the opinion of the Board, that book had become a back number, and had to go. It is unforrunate, perhaps, that Harrington's speller costs twenty cents double the price of Webster's but it comprises two parts, and is certainly better print, and, in the opinion of competent judges, a better method of teaching spelling than the meaningless syllables which fill the first pagesof the Blue Back. There is a North Carolina edition of Maury's Geographies, and they are splendid monuments to the memory of that protound Southern scholar, Lieut. M. F. Maury. So far as pos sible, books with no bias against the South have been selected, though the storm raised against a recent North Carolina History, which was not en tirely groundless, demonstrates the difficulty of obtaining even at this late day, books which do not cringe to the subduers, or misrepresent the subdned. Every patron of the public schools of North Carolina should assist the teachers in introducing this list adop ted by the Board. Many ot the old books are deficient in make-up, and can only be mastered by a trained mind, hence are worthless as agents for training the minds of the young. Great advancement has been made in educational methods in the last few years and to give1 the children the benefit of this advancement, books in which they are embodied should be put in their hand. By arrangement with the publish ers, the Board has secured special discounts, whereby, the people of this State can obtain these books nearly' 20 per cent, cheaper than would otherwise be possible. While there is no royal road to learning, and the acquirement of an education always has and always will involve a certain amount of mental drudgery. Let the road be made bright and pleasant and robbed of as many of the obstructing barriers as possible. SIGNIFICANT R KI'KKSfc N T ATI V KK. The Ohio Republicans will vote with the eagle on their ballots. The Democrats with the rooster. This is right. The eagle is an aristocratic bird, holding itself aloof from the more ordinary birds, It has no use for them except, always, when they can be destroyedjto fill its rapacious maw so witn tne KepuDiican party, it is the party of the aristocracy of the United States and has no use for ordinary people except as they can be used for its benefit. The tooster is eminently the rep resentative bird of the Democracy I. : j t fj t r . t 11 is doiu, uenant, aggressive, and a home ruler. It is a plain, ordinary bird, knowing its rights and, know ing, dares maintain them. 1 hen hurrah lor the bird ol Democracy ! May it- triumph over the proud Republican eagle in the coming Ohio fight, and later on, in the grand contest of 1892. CO-KDIXATION AT Till- ITMVKKSITV We occasionally see in our seen lar exchanges statements represent ing President Winston of the State University as favoring the co-educa tion of the sexes at Chapel Hill. It is a fact that there are a few crazy wo men and a small number of feeble minded' men who profess to favor the co-education of the sexes. But Prof. George T. Winston, President Jof the State University, is a man of sense, and therefore does not favor co education in Chapel Hill. He says: "I have never seen the day when I deemed such a thing either desirable or practicable. Somebody or other has been playing you and me a prank. You need not listen to such stuH. We will shake hands most heartily in op position to co-education at the Uni versity. I am unqualifiedly opposed to such an experiment at the Univer sity." Biblical Recorder. TO MEET NEXT WEEK. The annual meeting of the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance will be held in Morehead City next week. Officers tor the ensuing year will be elected. President Elias Carr has held the office two terms and is therefore in eligible to a re-election. Gen. Robert B. Vance, of Buncombe, seems to have a sure cinch on the place. Mr. W. S. Barnes will probably be elected Secretary, which office he has acceptably filled since the resig nation of Mr. Beddingfield. He de serves to be elected. It is due him and the Advance hopes he will be so honored. The deliberations of this, gathering will.be watched with much interest. It was with much satisfaction the Advance published last week the manly card from Gov. Holt in regard ! to his connection with the "plaid trust." In the minds of some people there existed a suspicion that he was guilty of such connection, and conse quent violation of law. The Ad vance had no such suspicion. It oeneveci ne was innocent.

D. A. McDougal, charged with killing his uncle, Simeon Conoly, an old man living in Robeson county, was captured in Albany, Oregon, on Monday by Pinkerton detectives. The murder was committed last April. The circumstancial evidence against McDougal is strong. Now let every body cry out "crucify him ! crucify him !" The Democratic majority in the Kentucky State election on Monday was 20,000. The People's Party had a ticket in the field. A new consti tution, taxing railroads, banks and stock companies, providing for a se cret ballot system, containing a clause which will wipe out her lottery com panies, was adopted by the necessary four-fifths majority.
