The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C., as second class mail matter. C. F. WILSON, Editor and Proprietor. "For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do." Thursday, May 19th, 1892. The Advance is no prophet, but to-day (Monday) it looks as if Col. Julian S. Carr or Auditor Sanderlin will he the Democratic nominee for Governor. Senator John S. Barbour, of Vir ginian, died suddenly in Washing ton Saturday morning at five o'clock, of heart failure. He was an excellent gentleman, greatly beloved by his people who sincerely mourn their loss. The oration of Jos. E. Robinson, editor of that brilliant paper, the Goldsboro Argus, on memorial Day, was indeed a "gem of purest ray serene," and did honor to the man and the taste of those who selected him for the occasion. SINCERELY APPRECIATED. We appreciate so sincerely the kind letter below that we make no apology for the lack of modesty which permits its appearance in these col umns : "New York, May 12th, 1892. "Dear Mr. Editor: I received sometime ago a copy of The Ad vance from some one, perhaps through the kindness of its editor, no. Ed. which I read and enjoyed very much. It is gratifying to know that The Advance supports the Grand Old Party of the people -the party that fosters that great eternal principle of 'equal rights to all and special privileges to none.' It is the party that all who love liberty and justice are proud to belong to. Know ing that The Advance proclaims all these essential elements, I take great pleasure in having my name upon your subscription book. "Verv truly yours, ' "A. F. Black. "P. S. You will find enclosed pos tal note for Si. 50. A. F. B." SAY, IS THIS TRIE. Col. L. L. Polk, President National Farmers Alliance and and Industrial Union, is an out and out advocate of the People's party, and does not hesi tate to say soon all occasions. He be lieves that nothing can be done for the people inside the old parties, and emphasizes this opinion by reference to the recent vote on free coinaee. He has an enormous following in the Alli ance. National Watchman. The Watchman is the official organ of the People's party of the United States. The above is taken from the last number. So far as we are con cerned this settles Col. Polk's political status. He has a right to belong to any party he sees fit, as much right; for instance, as all the best people of Nortr Carolina have belong to the Democratic party. If he is satisfied, we are. But he is mistaken if he believ es any considerable number of Alliarkemen will follow him into his new party. Speaking for Wilson Democratic Alliancemen alone, we believe we can safely assure the Colonel that they are not "with him." Ten years from now Col. Polk will be only a memory a memory of the has been. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Hill Men Dying Har4 Cleveland's Chances Brightening What Prominent Men say of the Situation Mr. Julias S. Carr at the Metropolitan -What Hon. John S. Hendarson Says The River and Harhor Bill Discussed P ersonals, Etc. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, May 7th, '92. The air is full of threatenings. The friends of every "favorite son" are busy manufacturing thunder. The most ludicrous of these efforts are those made by despairing Hill men. They are dying hard in Georgia and Virginia, as they have died elsewhere except a counterfeit of living in the candidate's own State. To-day the sturdy advocates of tariff reform are greatly elated at the action of the Michigan and Wisconsin conventions. They regard Mr. Cleveland's chances as the best of any and many of them will admit of no doubt of his triumph ant nomination by two-thirds vote. It will not be necessary to repeal it and substitute for it the more strickly Democratic majority principle. Col. O'Ferrall said to your correspondent this afternoon : "Yes. Virginia will be for Cleveland ; my own county is strong and my section of the State, with others, is heartily for his nomi nation. It seems to me nothing can prevent his nomination unless he chooses to withdraw, of which I have no information, if he cherishes such intention. If he is our candidate we will win." Said another eendeman well posted in national politics : "The Presidential campaign of 1892 will be like that of 1888, between Cleveland and Harrison." The action of the Illinois convention has greatly strengthened the latter's chances for renomination. Some Democrats pre fer Harrison to any other man, for they think he has weakened himself, while Cleveland has gained in the Northwest and really is no weaker in New York, In the last named State the party is perhaps stronger cer tainly with Harrison as the Republi can nominee. This Democratic strength will benefit Cleveland if he runs again. The Post of this morning says : "The millionaire tobacco manufac turer, Mr. Julius S. Carr, whose famous brand of the fragrant weed has carried the name of the town of Durham, in the Old North State, far and wide, is a guest of the Metropoli tan. Mr. Carr is a modest, unassum ing gentleman, not yet fifty, who was J born and reared within a few miles of where he has built up his immense business. He is prominently spoken of as a candidate for governor, but will make no aggressive fight for the nomination. A gentleman wou mius id 'lulius Carr has 11111 J , r . F made his millions in open trade and by the most honorable methods, and, unlike-most modern rich men, has not sought to increase his already ample fortune by going into trusts or seeking a monopoly of the trade. Besides, be is a man of great liberal ity, giving freely to the church, and also "aiding deserving young men of limited means. He is a man ot splendid business ability, and would make a first-class governor. 1 cor dially favor his candidacy after Gov ernor Holt has received the re-election which he has so richly earned. Next month. Mr. Carr's eldest daugh ter, Miss Lida, sails for Europe on an extended trip. Hon. John S. Henderson says : "I have no doubt that North Carolina will go Democratic next fall by a larger majority than was given to Cleveland four years ago. It is true that the third party papers in the State have appealed to the Alliance men to turn out and capture the Democratic primaries. It is their avowed purpose to endeavor to con trol the State convention and send delegates to the Chicago convention who will be instructed to demand the insertion of tb"s?cent St. Louis third Dartv D&tfoKoJ in the National Democratic platform, and in case this is refused, to withdraw from the convention and attend the gathering in Omaha in July. This is so absurd," continued Mr. Henderson, "that no one takes any stock in it, and ail the primaries which have been held up to this time are straight Democratic." "Then you believe the State con vention will be out-and-out Demo cratic ?" "I do; most assuredly. There may be a sprinkling of Third party peo ple here and there, but the large majority will be Democratic." "What is the Presidential feeling in North Carolina." "There is considerable dissatisfac tion with Mr. Cleveland, but there is also objection to Mr. Hill. There is no formulated sentiment in the State, and the delegates will go to Chicago uninstructed." The River and Harbor bill is now under discussion but nothing of local importance to North Carolina has yet been decided on. As soon as the figures for our State have been defi nitely determined, I will send them to) you. This is a matter about which correct guess-work is impossible, as the original amounts are generally increased by Senator Ransom before final action is taken. ANOTHER LETTER. Senator Vance Arrives Rumors of liis Ill ness Exaggerated Mrs. Vance tells of Ezeklel's Confederate Soldier Senator Ransom Has Already Added About $150. OOO to River and Harhor ISill and IVill Add More Senator Harbour's Death Tonrgee's Lecture Tom Reed Introduces the Onoudmn Tarheel Judge Republican Conference jMr. Henderson's Post Otlicc Bill. Washington, May 15th, 1892. I am just from Senator Vance's, where I found the rumors of his ill ness had been greatly exaggerated. He arrived this morning and will be all right in a few days. Dr. Mack Hayes, who has been appointed as sistant in Dr. Hammond's Sanitarium on account of his skill in nervous dis eases, says there is nothing serious in facial paralysis. Senator Vance caught cold from working too long in his fgarden at Gombroon when the ground was damp. This was follow ed by an attack of lumbago, which was more painful than serious and which Mrs. Vance, who is a first-class nurse and amuteur physician, will cure. He acted wisely in coming here at once. Mrs. Vance has received from a famous sculptor in Rome a copy of her hand and wrist which is remark able for its symmetry and beauty. It is in pure, white marble and is very beautiful. The marble bust of herself which was executed by Ezekiel has not yet arrived, but is expected soon. By the way, this Ezekiel is a Virgin ian by birth and by his own merit has forged to the front in Rome. I am told by a tourist that his studio is one of the most popular as well as one of the most artistic in that ancient city, and that among his best finished statues is one of a confederate soldier, done in white marble. The figure is clad in the regulation full dress uniform and stands leaning on his gun. In this memorial month of May, it may be of interest to some of our memorial associations to call their attention to this fine statue. I pre-, sume it could be bought at .a mod erate price, especially as Ezekiel is a Southerner by birth and education. Mrs. Vance also saw the statue when she was in Rome and she tells me it is a masterpiece. I wish some of the towns in our State could secure it for a Confederate Cemetery. Senator Ransom has, as usual, been at work on the River and Harbor bill. He has secured already from the Senate Committee on Commerce a favorable report for an increase oi $100,000 for the Cape Eear River, an increase of $35,000 for Roanoke River, and $10,060 for - Black River. The bill may receive other alterations before it finally becomes a law and Senator Ransom is determined to get all he can for North Carolina Rivers and Harbors. I may be able to send you the final figures next week. This city especially mourns the death of Senator John S. Barbour, of Virginia, which occurred at his resi dence in this city early Saturday morning. The cause of his death was heart failure. He was among the ablest of Southern Senators, and was a man of vast influence. His funeral will take place in the Senate Chamber Monday afternoon. Tues day he will be buried at Poplar Grove, Maryland, where Mrs. Barbour was buried about six years ago. He was active in all matters pertaining to the material progress of his section and was for years identified with the in terests of the Richmond & Danville R. R. He was born in 1820, in Cul pepper -county, Va., and has been in public life since 1842. He was elect ed to a seat in the House of the Forty- seventh Congress, served in that body until he defeated Riddleberger for the Senate in 1889. His place will be hard to fill. Telegrams of condo lence have been received from all sections ot the country. One is from Capt A. B. Adrews who doubtless knew the sterling worth and fine ex ecutive ability of the dead Senator better than the majority of our people did. A long dispatch has also been received from Mr. Cleveland, who, although he did not always agree with Senator Barbour as to methods in politics, was still his Warm friend and admirer. Hon. John S. Hender son has been designated as one of the Congressional escorts to attend the interment at Poplar Grove, Mary land. Judge Albion W. Tourgee has gone into the lecture field. We all know him too well in North Carolina to waste compliments on him. The effects of his disappointment at not being able to' ride rough-shod oyer our people, his failure to get the highest honors we had to confer by negro votes, and to play the high and mighty carpet-bagger's role without a protest from his betters, are not so soon fogotten as to enable us to read the following announcement without a sarcastic smile : "Albion W. Tourgee, who is well known as the author of 'A Fool's Errand,' and other works, will lecture at the Church ot Our Father, on Tuesday evening next, on 'The American Problem.' Col. Tourgee is a vigorous and forcible writer, a deep thinker, and an impressive speaker. What he says will be well worth listening to. Ex-Speaker Reed will preside and introduce the lectur er." Tourgee speaks and Reed intro duces him ! Par nobile fratum. I wonder if they will mention the Force bill as one of the methods of solving "The American Problem !" It would be eminently appropriate. There was a conference of North Carolina Republican magnates of the Eaves persuasion here last week. Their main object was to investigate the Presidential outlook, to see wheth er Harrison or Blaine or Sherman or Alger, or some dark horse would win. After they had settled as best they cUld they went after the scalps of some of Dr. Mott's postmasters and revenue officials. Their labors in this last direction have not yet been rewarded with success but it takes time to cause removals and some thing in this line may yet transpire. Things are uncertain however, and competition so active between Pres idential aspirants and their friends that I think few minor changes will be made until after November, The Republicans have been congratula ing themselves very heartily over the alleged Third Party movement in North Carolina, but the complexion of last week's primaries have dam pened their ardor somewhat. Hon. John S. Henderson has been authorized by the House Committee on Post Office and Post Roads to report the fractional note bill, which authorizes the Postmaster-General to issue fractional notes in the sum of $1 and fractions thereof.to be furnished to postmasters throughout the country at their face value, payable to bearer at any post office in the United States, at any time within six months from issue, after which the note is to be cancelled. If not redeemed within the time mentioned, the holder may obtain the amount of the note by forwarding it to the Postmaster-Gen-end for payment. The committee also authorized Mr. Putterson, of Ohio, to report to the House a bill appropriating $100,000 for and ex perimental free mail delivery system in the rural districts of the United States. The Postmaster-General is authorized and directed to apply the system to all rural districts through out the country. SARATOGA SAYINGS.

He Distinguishes Himself by His Master) y Address. Wednesday night of last week, ! in the Opera House in Wilmington, j Col. Jno. F. Bruton, an honored citi Zen of this place,' Grand Master of the '. I. O. O. F., delivered the annual ad- j dress. We are sure it was worthy 1 his brilliant intellect, and reflected glorious lustre upon the high posilion he so worthily filled. The Wilming ton papers speak in terms of highest praise of his magnificent effort. The Star says : "Grand Master John F. Bruton, j then delivered his address. . The address was one of rare beauty j and eloquence, showing research and I profound learning, and we only re-1 gret that space will not permit us to publish it." The Messenger says : "Rev. Dr. F. W. E. Peschau then feelingly and appropriately welcomed 1 the local lodges here and also the j Grand Lodge, after which he intro duced the speaker of the evening, Grand Master John F. Bruton, who began his superb address, by first Wilmington, as the great gateway of. North Carolina s commercial interests. Then followed glowing tributes to the beauty and refinement of Wilming ton's ever adorable ladies, and her manly men. "After the eulogistic introduction, he read from manuscript a succinct sketch of the history of Cape Fear Lodge, both as to its lodge life and its labors of love and the buildings it had secured or erected. "On May 13th, 1842, Cape Fear Lodge was first organized by a small handful of men, all of whom are rest ing in their graves. Now Cape Fear Lodge has grown to be a power, and two other living, vigorous and suc cessful lodges are in existence, and instead of the small handful of men, the lodges number respectively : "Cape Fear Lodge, 176 members, "Orion " 123 "Wilmington " 133 " "Grand total of members, 431. "He the paid a glowing tribute to the dead in her history, finishing the eloquent eulogy with tender refer ences to Messrs. W. L. Smith, Geo. H. Kelley, and E. J. Moore, the lat ter of whom, just a year ago list night it will be remembered, died in his chair at the lodge room. "He next made most complimen tary and most highly deserved refer ence to the three oldest living mem bers of Cape Rear Lodge, Messrs. R. J. Jones, A. J. Vopp, and F. V. B. Yopp. "These well-bestowed words of honor, kindness and praise, were heartily and very generally applaud ed by the immense throng present, thus giving double force and double emphasis to the eloquent tributes paid these worthy gentlemen, who are certainly among the very best, noblest and staunchest citizens of Wilmington. He then reviewed the changes the lodge had undergone from its first meeting place up above where Messrs. Mitchell's Hour and feed store now is, to the elegant property it now owns : of how it helped the schools in the past and did many another noble thing. "We must admit Cape Fear Lodge has had a checkered but also grand and successful history. "After the war it was resuscitated or recognized by five members, who helped to bring about a new era of prosperity and from that day on, Odd Fellowship in Wilmington has flour ished. A glance was cast at the or der's growth in North Carolina, where it numbers lodges, 87 ; members, 3,668. Warming up to his subject he sought to answer the question, "What is Odd Fellowship ? " in which he very adroitly, ably and ad mirably answered by explaining the order's principles of friendship, love and truth. "By apt illustrations, in oftimes elo quent words, and oftimes in full ora torical power he explained the true position and true characteristics of Odd Fellowship. "One of the grandest things done by Cape Fear Lodge, was the inaug uration four years ago of a movement to found the Orphans' Home, now in successful operation in Goldsboro. "He then related the charming story of the Southern Cross and its changes, in the midnight hour, when day draws near, and how this branch of the or der's work was seeing and feeling more and more the coming day's power and help. "With touching tenderness, too, he portrayed the story of the maid's dis pute about the most beautiful hand, when the one washed hers in the limpid waters of "a crystal stream, another plucked the strawberries till fingertips were pinkish and the last gleaned the violets blue until her loving hand had the same hue, but when an angel disguised asked alms, another and a stranger helped, and to her the angel gave, when resplend ent with Divine light he addressed them, the victory and the hour, and nuum viuu uouor ana mess the ; Order more for her work for the Or- j phans. "Sketching the Order's history more I he stated that it had grown to a mem-! berslnp in the United States of 649, 702 ; in England and elsewhere, 673,- 073 ; a grand total 1,322, 775. "It had raised for last year's benev olence, $54,000,000, and the total amount spent for relief reached the enormous sum of 52,917,688.13. "Thus grandly did he depict the noble history and the noble work of this noble order that surrounds the j earth, and is growing with a rapidity j that is surprising and indicative of its ' greatness. "The address was greatly enjoyed i by the vast audience, and w reany 1 regret that we cannot print it in full, but hope this full and copious ex tract may give a faint idea ol the ' masterlv pfifnrt nf thr CI When you eat too much.

A Feast of Reason and a Flow of Wit" in Our Court House, Among the Legal Itrethrens that carried the Older Heads of the Audience Back to the days of AIcRae, Washington, Dortch and Strong, of ve Olden Times. The case that attracted most at tention during the term of our Su perior Court which has just expired, was that of Roberts & Hoge vs. Fuchtler & Kern et al. In this case the public were treated to as fine a display of legal skill, forensic eloquence and judicial patience, learn ing, clearness and fairness as it has been our pleasure to see in a long while. The plaintiffs were repre sented by Mr. F. A. Woodard, of the- Wilson bar, and Messrs Robinson and Munroe of this bar, and the defend ants were represented by Mr. Zolli coffer of Henderson bar, and Messrs. Aycock & Daniels, Faircloth, Allen & Dorth and I. F. Dortch of this bar. Thursday evening, after all the challenges on both sides had been exhausted, the following gentlemen were selected as the jury, to wit : Ashley Creech, C. B. Hicks, R. L. Scott, J. H. Sanders, David McKin nie, D. W. Parks, Zach Hinnant, W. B. Vail, W. R. Fail, J. W. Edwards, Simc:; Grauy and Needham Lewis, (col.) 1 he evidence was concluded Fri day morning and the case was open ed for the defendants by Mr. W. R. Allen, who, with that clear, intelli gible, forceful and persuasive man ner, which always characterizes his speeches, laid before the court and jury the defendants' reasons, both of law and fact, for asking a verdict at their hands. Mr. Allen was follow ed by Mr. F". A. Woodard for the plaintiffs, who, in a speech of about two hours in length, of'great power, burning with eloquence and weight ed with strong logical argument, clear, lucid and convincing, laid be fore the court and jury the plaintiffs' whole case. Mr. vVoodard was followed hy Mr. I. F. Dortch, who, in that clear, forceful and telling manner for which he is so well known and admired, replied to the speech of Mr. Wood ard. Mr. Dorth was followed by Mr.' Munroe for the plaintiffs, who from the opening to the close of his argu ment held the jury, the bar, and the large audience of our most promi nent citizens in unkroken and inter ested attention ; his presentation of the facts though already gone over by counsel preceding him was clothed with new interest under the touch of his masterly genius, while his readings of the law from different decisions of the Supreme Court of our own and other States, bearing on the case at issue, proved him to be a man of tireless research, deep learning, and discriminating mind. Mr. Munroe was followed by Mr. F. A. Daniels for the defendants, who, in a speech of about two hours in length, bristling with dry humor, hard, logical reason, earnest and- pa thetic appeals, and, withal, clothed in such superb English that it might well serve as a model for the mas ters, almost persuaded the jury. Mr. Daniels was followed by Mr. W. S. O B. Robinson, whose speech was a masterly exhibition of Irish wit, bitter scorn and genuine oratory ; the case w-as such a one as gave free play to the great powers of Mr. Rob inson before a jury, and his genius was seldom if ever displayed to greater advantage than on this occa sion. Mr. Robinson was followed by Mr. Aycock, who made the last and clos ing speech for the defendants. In this speech was crowded as much of consummate skill, earnset entreaty, si rong reasoning and fiery, beaming eloquence, as well could be gotten into a speech of an hour's length. The Judge's charge was illumined by that strong and steady light, under which nothing in point, either great or small, can be obscured, and couch ed in such a clear and lucid style that it could not be misapprehended by anyone. The jury gave 'patient and careful attention to the speeches of counsel, after staying out all night, came in Saturday morning with a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. The defendants appealed.

Editor Advance : The Demo cratic Convention of Bertie county met in the Court House in Windsor on yesterday for the purpose of elect ing delegates to the State Conven tion and also to the 2nd. Congression al District Convention (when called.) Hon. M. L. Wood was endorsed from the 2nd. Congressional District. Mr. Wood, if nominated, would make a virorous fight, so thorough would be his canvass. Mr. W ood is the present Representative from Bertie, which office he has held with honor to himself and credit to his county. His election to the Legislature in November, '88, was by a most over whelming majority, and in fact he polled the largest vote that has been f cast lor any Democratic candidate for that office since the war. Mr. Wood entered the Confender ate armywhen a boy of only sixteen and fought for four long years dur ing which time his deportment was marked by his gallantry and bravery as a true soldier till Lee sheathed his sword at Appomattox. Leaving the army he came home to make his start in life ; read law, but preferring to live a quiet life on the farm, abandon ed the idea of becoming a member of the legal profession and has since then devoted himself to the agricul tural pursuits. He has been elected President of the County Farmers' Alliance several terms in succession which office he holds at present. And was sent from North Carolina to the Ocala Con vention. As some might fear that his connection with the above order might in some respects have caused him to swerve from the principles of Democracy, I would here state that he is a true, loyal Democrat in all that the word implies. If nominated he would poll the full strength of the Alliance and the entire vote of the non-Alliance. I The Democrats of Bertie believe that the Congressional honors should fall on them at our next Congression al Convention, but we are willing to sacrifice all county preference for the strongest man let him cime from what county he may, but we do be lieve that the nomination of Mr. Wood at this juncture would be wise politics. Let us have the Hon. M. L. WodcT as our Congressional standard bearer and we entertain strong hope of a triumphant victory in November next. As a true Democrat and Alliance man, I subscribe myself" W. R. Johnson. As to The Judges.

The entertainment at the Town Hall Monday night was a pronounced success. A large and appreciative audience greeted Mr. Henry Blount, of the Wilson Mirror and to say they were charmed with his personation ot character would feebly expiess it. He gave us three recitations, in which he had to personate a dozen different characters, and his mimicry was per fect. Comedy, low comedy and witticisms of the best minstrel actors in the land were rendered in a manner that reflected the highest order of talent. The entire house was convulsed with laughter through almost the whole performance. Washington Gazette. Of Bro. Blount's oration on Tues day the Gazette says : "Rev. W. S. Davis in a few chaste and well timed remarks introduced the the speaker, Mr. Henry Blount, of Wilson. He spoke for an hour, and the large audience was held spell bound from beginning to end. We cannot find words to do this oration justice. The entire oration was re plete with patriotic sentiment, pathetic incident, and beautiful thoughts said in words of impressive eloquence. It was a rhetorical bouquet, whose every petal glistened with sparkling dew-drops. The hearts of all were touched; tears trickled down the cheeks of youth and veterans alike. Mr. Blount has made an impression upon the hearts of us all that time can never obliterate. Numerous and ex quisite bouquets were presented him." Catarrh In New England.

A Summer Health Resort Amid the Pines The Healthiest Place in America Health Giving Mineral Waters, Southern Pines, N. C, Moore comity, on the Raleigh & Augusta Air Line Railroad, thirty miles north of Hamlet and seventy south of Raleigh, situated on a high sand mountain or range of high hills, has been tested for two sum mers as a health resort for those suf fering from all forms of blood diseases, indigeston, kidney complaint, general debility, and nervous disorders. This place was first brought to the attention of the public as a winter resort, but it is found to be equally delightful as a summer resort. Being higher than the surrounding country there is a delight ful breeze at all times. Absolutely no malaria or cause for malaria exists at this place, and those suffering from ma laria or the after effects of any kind of fevers find relief here. There are three mineral springs lo cated on the prope.ty ; the virtue of which has been tested beyond a doubt. Persons who cannot visit the place may have the water shipped to them in barrels or half gallon bottles at reason able terms.
