THE ROANOKE NEWS THURSDAY OCTOBER 22. 18D1. THE CON I'' HH H N C li. Is accordance with the call (if Chair man EJ. Chambers Smith the State Dem ocratic Executive committee met in Ral eigh on the 15th. A number of gent If men fiom various parts of the State was resent by invitation. The purpose of this meeting was au interchange of views upon the political situation in North Carolina and to take such steps as might be thought proper to present to the peo ple of the Statu the reasons and results of unity and the dangers of division in the campaign of next year. Speeches were made by both Alliance and non-Alliance Democrats, and the torn) of tlio deliberations indicated clearly that no otio wanted a Third Party and that there is no uecessity nor danger of one provided both elements ore couserva tive und willing to yield nou-essentials for the common good. After the con ference adjourned the committee held a meeting aud tppointed Messrs. E. C Smith, T. J. Jams, S. B. Alexander Elias Carr, C. B. Watson, E. A. Moye, A. Leaz-.ir, W. M. Robbins, J. S. Bell, and II. A. Gudger u committee of ten to issue an address to the Democracy. This committee is composed of men who have the confidence of the people of the State, and while their address has no binding power we are satisfied it will do a great deal to allay apprehension and point out dearly an honorable way for all the elements of the Democratic party to remain united without sacrificing prin ciple. That can be done and is all that is necessary to bo done. 1IB JUST AND FAIR. It is to be hoped that the conference held at llalcigh last week between Alliance and non-Alliance Democrats will result in a more friendly feeling between the extreme men of the two elements and a more conservative discussion of the dif ferences which exist between them. All public questions should be discussed fearlessly and honestly. The people of North Carolina are willing to hear both sides of the issues. They will listen to arguments although they may dissent from them. They are fair and believe in fair play they demand it and they give it. But they have a right to aek that all questions be discussed on their merits and any other met beds have no weight with them. Abuse of individuals, mis conscruction of motives, disposition to believe evil of men all of which have a tendency to lead away from the merits of the main is.ues will convince no one, but will rather have a bad effect. The people will not be driven and an appear ance of injustice will naturally make them suspicious. Honest, open, fair and manly discussion will do a vast deal of good in North Carolina just now. The boycott of a newspaper by an Alliance because its course is not approved is not right. No one need take a paper whose utterances he docs not approve, but an or ganized boycott is not fair nor just and makes enemies. On the other hand to call a man a coward because he advocates a certain measure is no argument against the measure but tends to make enemies. And when the charge is disproved to the satisfaction of the public those making the charge or giving it quasi approval lose much of their influence with those whom they are attempting to convince to their own way of thinking. There has been too much of this kind of argument, if argument it can be called. We have observed the course of some of our friends with misgivings because of such a disposition as we have alluded to. We know that it is a positive injury to Dem ocracy and will make a dangerous breach in its ranks if continued. Let us have a calm dispassionate discussion of meas ures and not men and there will be no danger to the common good which we honestly believe is the great object of all, however men may differ as to the means and methods necessary to conserve it. Qbn. W. II. F. Lbs died it Alexan dria on Thursday last of valvular disease of the heart. lie was tho second son of Gen. Robert E. Lee and was born in 1837. He entered the Confederate army as captain and was a major general when the war ended. He was elected to Con gress in 1886, which position he held at the time of his death. Mrs. Mart THURMAN,wife of Judge Allen G. Thurman, died at home at Columbus, Ohio, on Friday afternoon. Her maiden name was Mary Dun and she was born at Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1811. She was a widow when she mar ried Judge Thurman in 1814. She was universally loved on account of her gen erosity and charity. The County Alliance of Washington couuty very wisely refused to boycott the Plymouth Bencon as demanded by one of the Sub Alliances We have seen no statement to that effect in the papers which so loudly announced the boycott some weeks ago. Tote fair, brethren. ANOTHER SUB TREASURY PLAN. KX-NKNATOR NORWOOD, OF GEORGIA, WANTS THE STATES TO DISTRIBUTE TUB CURRENCY. Tho new banking plan offered by Ex Senator T. M. Norwood, of Georgia, is attracting a good deal of attention. He has fur more than a year been a strong advocate of the Sub Treasury plan as the best means of relief yet offered the coun try .though he has believed all along that a bettei plan could be devised. This he thinks he has found. Ilia plan was made public for the first time time in a speech before the Georgia Legislature in Atlan ta about two weeks ago. He preseutcd the same plan in a speech in Raleigh on last Friday. Though a Sub-Treasury man yet he offers it as the "something better." His plan honestly stated pro vides for the issuing of legal tender notes (except for import duties) by the go" crnment, sufficient added to the money already in circulation to make, say $50 per capita. This money is to be deposi ted in sub-Treasuries in the various States pro rata according to population less the amount per capita already in iii culation in each State. This would prac tically make an even distribution over the country and his plan provides for keeping the distribution even. Each State shall provide for the lending of this money on long time at a low rate of interest on land, cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco, secur ities and etc., as may be determined by Legislative enactment. We haven't the time or space to discuss this plan or go into its details now; but our readers will see that it is along the Alliance (national) sub-Treasury plan. The plan has many excellent points that strike straight home for justice and a fair monetary system. Listen for opposition from Wall Street and the East. The Alliance in its honest search for truth and determined fight for justice will gladly and carefully consider Norwood's plan and all others that may be proposed. Let no more time and statesmanship be wasted in opposing and ridiculing us, but rather aid us in finding the best means of relief. Mount Olive Telegram. THE OLD NORTH STATE.

I could not sleep, lost all heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and for days at a time I would have welcomed death. I became morose, sullen and irritable, and for eight years life was a burden. I tried many physicians and many remedies. One day a workman employed by mo suggested that I take f if Hood's 532 Suffering (ia. I did so, and before taking the whob of a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The terrible pains to which I had been subjected, ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided, my stomach became easier, nausea disap peared, and my entire system began to tone up. With returning strength came activity of mind and body. Before the fifth bottle was taken 8 Years I had regained my former weight and natural condition.
