RESOLUTIOXS IXTRODVCEI) ' STROXG SPEECHES FOR AM) AGAIXST THEIR ADOI'-TIOX-A MAJORITY VOTE IX FA YOR OF THEM. MONDAY was 11 red letter day for the old town of Halifax and the citizens of llie county, representative white men, assembled from every section of her borders, about five hundred being pres ent. The meeting was held pursuant to ad journment and Mr. W. K. Daniel on taking the chair stated that several months ago a meeting was called for the purpose of an interchange of opinions on account of the dissatisfaction existing in the county, but that owing to inclement weather ond short notio the meeting was adjourned to Juuo 4th. "The day lias now come, and I am glad to sec so many present. The meeting is now open for business " Mr. W. A. Dunn moved that a com mittee of five be nppoiuted to draft suita ble resolutions. The motion prevailed, and the ehiiir appointed Captain W. II. Day, Dr. J. A.Collins, F. W. Gregory, W. A. Dunn and 8. M. (Jary. The committee retired and then there were palls for Judge Hill. Judge Hill said, ' I am obliged to my friends 1'or oalliqg on me, but I under stand that a committee is out to draft resolutions, and the lime is rather prcna ture. When the committee makes their rep rt I may make some remarks. I want this meeting to act wisely and with great caution. This ia no times to meet to deuounce men of our own party. We should make every effort to preserve its integrity, to stand together as good Dem ocrats and let us stand forever. I would oounsel forbearance, good temper and everything else that redouuds to the public good." Dr W. R Wood was then called on and responded as follows : " I am glad to meet you here today. I feel more at home than 1 have felt fur five years. You remember we tried secession and the Re publicans came iu and got the negro and got everything else, and now I would say to my'l'hird party friends, if you continue to light the Democratic party the Hj publicans will come into power again. Let us stand together, light together and never give up the ship until we siuk or go up into the clouds." Mr. K-Ij-Travis thought it best to wait until thcoommittee came in '(Then e can discuss the issues nnrc inte'li gently and can come to an uudeistaiidiug aud see jf we arc all fightiug to accomplish line- ond. It U folly to fight in separate ranks." Uapt. li. A.'Thornc responded to a call, and said he did not come to talk, "This is the first public utterance that has fallen from my lips since the last campaign. I have waited to seo if the Democratic administration would not givo us some relief, but I see no hope unless the South and tho West will get together." At this juncture the committee catue in and re ported the following reso'utions: The llenioewii of Halifax eouiitv, in mass meeting; ussonihled, following the ex ample of their ancestors, who gathered in this historic town town in 1773, resolve, 1. That thevdorcatllriu their allegiance t ) tho principles nf the party its enunciated by Jell'eison, and followed hy Jackson. 'J. That they I'avorthc IVcvand unlimited coiuagc of silver, the proJuct of mines of the I'uited States, at a ratio of sixteen to one, ami wc heartily endorse the course of those Senators and Representtlivei who have made such a strong tight lor pure Democratic principles. It. That they disapprove of tho linaneial i.othy qf tl)e President and they helieve (lie same to be unwise and damaging to tin; bust interest of the country, aud especially do they uoudeutu his veto of the seiguarjje bill. 4. That they favor a tariff for revenue only, ulsolutely freed from every protec- ' live feature, and we earnestly urgo onr seuatorsand reprosenta ives to place suar upou the free list. 5. That they favor a graduated income tax. U That they favor the immediate passage of laws whirl! will effectually prevent the QClint of European natiqns from heccaning residents or citizens of the United States. T. That they eui rrestly recommend tli;t plat forms of our party shall be clear aud explicit declarations of the party's will so clearly expressed that there can be no two con structions placed upon any section and they respectfully ask that a section shall be placed in the next State platform that it is the will of the people of Norlh Cure lina that our Senators aud Representatives shall follow the state plutlorru wherever there may be a difference in tbe State and National platforms on any subji-et. ' I. llnif the people have a right to eipoet thjt their representatives will stand upiarely upon the p'atfurn) adopted, iinil tutor demand mat titer snail do so. V. That they believe that the sifety aud welfare and liberty of our neonlecan onlv be preserved by a steady adherauce to the lime nonorcd principles or our party, aud they earnestly invite and implore all men to noil witn them lor the maintenance ot these principles- W. A. Dins, W. II. Day, V. W. Okkiouv, John A. Coi.mnh, 8. M.tUKy, 1 'f,qtn,iu,jttee, Judge Hill "Thero are tomo portions qi tpoae resolutions J oould never consent to I hey oondomn the prvaeut aduiiou irtln nnd thl th r' platform shall override tho national platform Hero wo aro fighting ourselves and tho men who made tho platforms, thus pro claiming to the werld our weakness. Mr, Cleveland, you remember, sign d tho election bill which the Republican party frjed to fallen tjpoq the oqtin'try, he has given t)9 more southern ofrjocra than any prosideot wjo have had, J will never do anything to scuttle the Democratic ship." W-A. Uudq. "ioanasaqromy friend, Judge I J ill, that it is no pleasure fo me to sail attention to the fact that the pres ident of tho United Slates has failed to keop the pledges he made to tho people when he bjoamo president, hvcry Dem ociatio paper in the United States is con dooming Mr. Cleveland as we have con denmed him hero today. I believe in peaking what we feel and in resorting to no aubtiluge. It ia impossible to fool the whjte'rnen of SoftH Carolina. The last pemocratrc state: Uonvention incqr poratcd In its platform a free pqjqajje of lilvep olause. Mr. Olovqland rjenouuoed the aelgnorago bill and killed It by re fusing to give it his signature. Hot u the thing in a nut shell, ia Mr. Cleveland bigger than the Democratic party? Gro vet Cleveland has done mora to kroak down the ftoorati paxtj and diarnpt it than anylhing else. Hasn't he allied himself against our interests, hasn't he taken Jnhn Sherman fur his leader and adviser? And now you say we must nut condemn his acts. I am for my.ln u:e people. I want all the white men of this dimly to get together. I would say to my Third party friends that it' they believe the Democratic party sleeps they will live to sec it rise like a giant and come forward to secure your liberties and mine." Judge Hill. "Is this simply a repe tition of what we had here several months ago ? I move that the resolutions be tabled." Motion lost. R. Ransom. "I did not intend to say anything today. This is a time when wc should bo conservative. There is no discontent in the Democratic ranks when wc sifl it down. The people of this coun ty are in a better condition than they have been in years. They have more corn, more meat, their crops aro in a bet ter condition, they work better, and yet we aro asked to come here and denounce Mr. Cleveland. I appeal to you to stick to tho Democratic oiganizitiun, I appeal to you to stand by your parly and to stand together." Capt. W. II. Day "I did not come here to lead any one, but I ask how many of us approve of Mr. Cleveland's finan cial policy '! I owe my allegiance first to tho people of North Carolina, and God knows my highest ambition is to see them uuitcl. In these resolutions wo disap prove of his financial policy, that is not a denunciation. If he is denounced by these resolutions, then he is denounced by the platform on which he was elected national and slate. Mr. Cleveland has throttled the will of the Democratic party, lie is not in accord with the party. So far as the finance is concerned that is nothing, it is for you and me to stand together. We waut unity here, we want uuity at homo. Wo want the white men of this county to stand together to avert the ruin that stares us in tho fact!. The danger today is in tho men who vetoed the silver bill, the danger is in tho north ern Democrats, t want tho old Demo cratic party to stand and wo must stand together. There is something wrong somewhere. Thev have been in power now more than twelve months, and what have you got ? Have they yielded any thing for the protection of the Soulh? Hill and others aro all for protective tariff iu their own districts and lor free trade in every other district. Congress was called not for the purpose of settling the tariff, but to strike from the statute books the last law that roogniz;! silver as money. I want to ask any Third party man present to stand up and sta'c what you waut that the Democratic party is not trying to accomplish the samj thing. .'lr. h. li. I ravis. "W e are not mm'' to scuttle the Democratic ship, Cleveland has already scuttled it. itestiun by Ju l-e Hill "Will the people here all vote the De'mocratie ticket?' Mr. Travis "They certainly will not if we endorse Mr. Cleveland and his pres ent administration. Mr. Cleveland lias mo all he could to kill the party, and if we want the Democratic pirty to stand we must let the people know that we disapprove Mr. Cleve'and's policy. We want men to go to convent 1,1ns who will nominate uicu we have cotifideuce iu. It is because our leaders have leen false to us is why wc are here today. Ujostun by Jlr. Hansom "out, sup pose these men in Congress should find that unless they made concessions they could not pass the tarilT bill, ought they then to vote lor silver if they find it to the interest of the country to Vote the other way?" Mr. Iravis. "tour iiuestion is so long I can't answer it. I say this: If we send a man toCougnss to vote lor silver he has no right to go and kill it by voting the other way. Our relief must come hy the people of the South and the U est standing toiicllu-r. flie vote was then taken and the reso lutions were adopted by a decided uinior- 'y. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. ENFIELD LETTER. NBWSV NOTES t'llllM THAT KNll UFT11K CIIINTV.

TH K magistrates of Halifax coun ty met in regular annual session Monday, Col. F. M. Darker, chairman, presiding. Mr. J. Frank Rrinkley call ed the roll and eighty members answered to their names, only twelve were absent. Col. Darker then stated that the object of the meeting was for the purpose of electing a ouuty superintendent uf public instruction, a board of county commission ers and for levying the tuxes. Nominations being in order Captain A. Thome presented the name of Captain W. R. Rund, of Scotland Neck. Dr. M. T. Savage seconded the nomina tion, and there being no other nomina tions tho ballot was dispensed with and he was elected by acclamation. Dr. A. Harrison, the present incumbent de cided not to allow his name to go before the meeting. Dr. Harrison has given entire satisfaction in the discharge of his duties, and it is also a matter of congratu lation that he is to be succeeded by so worthy and accomplished a gentleman. The next business was the election of aboard of county commissioners, and on motion the present board, consisting of Messrs. 11. W. Brown, chairman; R. B. Ilritt, K. W. Hyman, M. II. Clark and W. C. Daniel, was ro-elccled by acclamation. The board then proceeded to make the cjunty levy of taxes for tho ensuing year. Col. Darker stated that before the levy was made tho board must first determine what they would do in reference to building tho vault for the county records Dr. Savage was opposed to buildin" the vault at present and on motion of Mr. Sheariu, tho matter was postponed for the present. Mr. W. E.

Ihe board was of the opin ion that the condition of the people of the county h id improved. The system of collecting the taxes by collectors had proved very successful. According to the report of treasurer I'arker made in May, on account of county fund he had on hand g:Hf0.3i), and there was due by the collcctois S:'-S(i:i.l8. lie had on hand at that date on account school fund which had uot been apportioned ?'2787.G7, and there was due by the different collectors for which settlement had not been made, lollli ti.'i. Tho report says that the farmers of the couuly are in good condi tion. There is no accumulated indebted ne-s and the past levy was lu-s than the constitutional limit. The board made honorable mention of the services of the county treasurer, Mr. W. F. Darker, who has discharged bis duties faithfully and intelligently. Dor the coming year the board recom mended that tho levy be decreased to b"!J cents on properly and 81 'JO on the poll. 1 he levy was then made in accordance with above recommendation.

Asleep in J Er -Y s, on Wednes day night of l.tsi wi.i. while loving ones stood around her bed.-ide, the sou! of Mrs. Katherine Alien passed from its earthly tenement and entered into that rest beyond this vale of tears, where .-lie now rests from her labors, and has joined loved ones who had goue before. The deceased was about Go years of age; was a lady of the most lovable Christian character, and was a consistent member of the Baptist church. She had been sick for sotmi weeks and though every effort was mado to cheek the terri ble disease, it was known for some days before the dissolution of soul and body that the end was near at baud. During the war Mrs. Allen was spec ially kind to the Confederate soldiers. The sick uud wounded were taken into hir home where she, with that tender care characteristic of her gentle nature, nursed them back to health aud strength. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. W. llarman at tho Baptist church, last Thursday afternoon ot 5 o'clock, and the large assemblage present and the profuse floral offerings, all testi fied to the high esteem in which she was held in the community. Mr. Harman made a few appropriate and feeling re marks and the choir then softly sang "Asleep Iu Jesus." At the close of the hymn the remains were borne to the cemetery where they were consigned to Ihe grave, there to re main until the resurrection morn. To her two loving daughters, so sadly afflicted, and to her many relatives and friends here and elsewhere, the Roanoke News extends its sincerest sympathies. 1,'HIK UN THE LIST AND SEE THE MOVE JIRNTS UF YOl'R i'UIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES.

Ihe tenant being averse to moving positively refused to vacate. Lewis then offered him one dollar in good and lawful money if he would only "get out." Rut the man was still obsti nate, and, believing that possession was nine-tenths of the law, still refused to go Lewis then resorted to a novel way of getting rid of his tcnaut. He concluded, like the wolf in the story of the three little pigs, to "blow the house in," so he "hutted aud he pufTed," nnd he tore the house down, leaving the inhabitant there of sitting amid the ruins.

Bouse for Sale ! KtTi'iiiN Speaks. Captain W. II. Kitchiu set the Third party ball in mo tion at Halifax last Monday. He spoke about two hours to a crowded court room. His speech was about the same he has been making for years, with this excep tion, he has n .w tacked a Third party head to it, lie said he had not changed bis sentiments, had simply changed bis base of operations. During the last cam paign it was said that the tariff question was the great,' the overriding issue. Cleveland said it was the financial ques tion, and he went to work and had the only clause we had of getting money wiped from the statute bocks. A prom inent Democrat said here to ne months ago if Cleveland vetoed the scignorago bill be would denounce hiin. Well, he vetoed it, and has he done it? :-: My friend Dunn and others come here and ask is Cleveland bigger than the Democratic parly. I answer yes, he is bigger than fourteen Democratic parties! He is so big he has overshadowed the Democratic parly. I have loved the Democratic party but when Cleveland delivered it horse, foot and dragon into the Republican camp, not even leaving a baggage wagon to cling to, I severed my connection with it as it is. now organized. And I now givo you fair warning, I intend to do all I can to delcat the Democrats in tins couuly. Owing to the crowded condition of our columns today we could nut give Captain iMtchiu s speech in lull. The C'oI'nty Commissioners.
