Burn down your great cities and leave your tarms, and your cities will grow up again. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of the Union." From Wm.' J. Bryan's speech before Demo cratic National Convention. "I am for McKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J. Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector-at-Large. ' - Bp" Cockran on Slaveholders. -Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all: - (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August 18th.) THE BUSINESS INTERESTS. Ninety-nine per cent, of the con tentions of the opponents of free sil ver is based on assumption, pure and simple. They assume that free silver wou'd be disastrous to the "business interests" of the country and there fore the gold standard must be ad hered to. They have a somewhat peculiar idea as to what constitutes our business interests, ihey seem to think that it is the men who run the banks, the stock jobbing estab lishments, the middlemen and the manufacturers who constitute the "business elements" of the country, utterly oblivious of the men who pro dace the stuff that makes the bulk of our commerce, the crude material out of which our manufactured products are formed and the skilled labor which transforms this material into finished form and gives it the addi tional value which it acquires in that form. , The farmer who raises wheat, corn, pork, beet, &c, U as much a "busi ness" man as the grain or beef buyer who buys the grain or beef to sell again. When it comes to the em ployment of capital, i the business men of the farm have thousands of dollars invested in their business to the one invested by the buyers of their products. - Has the many mil lions of capital iavested in the farm ing industry or "business" no right to put in its claims when the capital in other and less productive kinds of business claims that it only is en titled to consideration? j Isn't the man who digs and smelts the ore that comes out of the mine as much of a business man as he whose business it is to melt these metals and cast them into shapes for the uses for which they are designed? Mr. Mark Hanna is an iron manufac turer but he is no more a business man than the men who dig out of the mine the iron which he uses. He simply employs more capital and puts the finishing touch on the busi ness that they do and reaps a larger profit, that's all. The cotton planter who raises the lint for the spindle and loom is quite as much of a business man as the - man who : runs the spindles and looms, and when it comes to the aggregate value of the lint produced It is a queer idea of business that does not class the men who produce $300,000,000 worth of it annually, and expend nearly as much annually in producing it, among the business men of the country. They are quite ' as much business men as the men who speculate in this staple, or buy it to convert Into fabrics, and profit more by it. About the only differ ence between these two branches of the cotton business is that one pro duces the cotton which the others handle either for sale in its crude form or in the finished form. . When it comes to the matter of the capital iavested and employed, there is more money invested in the production of cotton than there is in the manufac ture and handling of it by others than the produces, i. When we consider our --foreign commerce which gives employment to many , thousands of men, that makes "business" for the ships and gives employment to the capital in vested in ships, eighty per cent, of it consists of products of the business of the farm, which, according to these gentlemen, does not figure in their business catalogue, at all, and the rest consists of products of the soil or in articles manufactured from these products. As we see. it, these gentlemen, if they would classify correctly, will have to revise their catalogue of the "business interests," considerably enlarge the scope and change the relative positions very considerably from the present ar rangement. How does it happen that the man engaged in the lending of money is more of a "business" man than the thousands to whom he lends money? Are not these thousands as much in terested in the laws which regulate the issuing of that money and in de fining its qualities and powers and uses as he is ? Each one may possi bly not have precisely the same amount of interest in it that he has, but in the aggregate they have quite as much, are quite as much inter ested and if anything more so, for while with hint it is simply a matter of profit, with them it is a matter of vital importance. His interest is to have money scarce so that it may command a high price, that his pro fits may be larger, while their inter est is to have money abundant that it may be the more easily procured, give labor and production more em ployment and more encouragement and better compensation. In common with millions of our fellow citizens we contend , that when the money question is. consid ered from a "business" standpoint (and that is the standpoint from which it should be considered) every business should have" fair play and an impartial hearing and that no few special callings should arrogate to themselves the right to be con sidered the only "business" worth figuring in the premises and the only ones which have within them intelli gence enough to say how our mone tary systems shall be formed . or of what our money shall consist. The gold handler and those who agree with him, may demand gold exclu sively, -but other men engaged in different pursuits', whose business is crippled by adhering to the gold standard have just as much right and better reason for demanding a broader and less monopolistic sys tem, one which will give them a bet ter showing and in their opinion the country more prosperity. MISOR MEHTIOH. . As the anti Bryan organs can't help it they are compelled to accept Mr. Bryan's denial of the charge that he had been in the pay of the silver mine owners, in advocating free silver. They accept it but in a style which clearly shows that they re sorry that the charge wasn t true. T he following "acceptance" we clip from the New York Adver tiser: mY Bryan's denial of the charge that he has been hired by silver mine owners to deliver free coinage speeches will be accepted as final by fair-minded persons of every shade of political belief. The Chicago candidate is explicit and em phatic in his statement, and in order that there may be no lingering donbt about the matter he volunteers to pro duce his personal accounts if it should become necessary. Nothing more could be asked. At the same time it is not at all strange that the accusation against the repndia tlonist candidate should have been wide ly credited. It is notorious that the sil ver barons have subsidized newspapers and orators all over the country, that they have poured out money lavishly for the election of United States Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that they maintain numerous "literary" bureaus. If Mr. Bryan has felt humili ated over the fact that many of his countrymen regarded him as the paid agent of these men it has been owing to his unfortunate associations. "Nothing more could be asked" as to Mr. Bryan's denial, but some ' questions may be asked suggested by this second paragraph, which - is simply an indirect apology for the original lie and an excuse for dis seminating it. How does this organ know that the "silver", barons" have subsidized newspapers and orators all over the country, that they have poured out money lavishly for the election of United States Senators and Representatives in Congress and that they maintain numerous "liter ary bureans ?" If all this be "notori ous" there should be no difficulty in giving the names of at least some of the newspapers, and some of the orators. This might have been done at the same time that the alleged discovery was made as to Mr.' Bryan and this Hie propagated. What stronger argument against the silver men could be produced than a show ing up like that? But assuming that there may be. some truth in this who foots the expenses of the numerous orators who have been carrying on the campaign of education for the gold men? Who has been footing the bills of the "literary" bureau they have been running ? As for the "subsidized newspapersV how about all that "gold" plate matter, patent print and "supplements" that were sent out by the ton to thousands of papers which used them? That wasnn't subsidizing with money, but is was subsidiz'mz all the same.' . As for buying United States Senator- ships that has been pretty much the order of the day in the. North for some year?, and we rather-: think from the number of silver Se nators from that side that the gold men have got away with .them. It is reported that . Comptroller Eckels and Secretary Morton will be at the Indianapolis Convention. We think this quite likely for we do not see how they could hold such a convention and run it - without Mr. Eckels, whatever it might do without "Junk" Morton. We give precedence here to Mr. Eckels' name because that is the order in which the press dispatch heralding this' important piece of information puts it. The surprising thing to us is that in all the discussion of the prospective Presidential candidate of this com bine of illustrions and untllustrious kickers vj Mr. " Eckels' name has never been mentioned even for the second place, which we say is strange considering the estimate which that eentleman puts on him . . - . . - r sen, inireiws, uu w w- l'ossal ability he has shown in work ing his jaws for. the men whom he expects to get employment from after he has got through his present job. I But perhaps, like Bryan, he is too young. But again, perhaps he is not ambitious and that he is giving his friends the benefit of his sage coun sel and directing: wisdom out of sheer, undiluted patriotism, of which he doubtless contains as much, as a statesman of his calibre can hold. It would be safe to wager that, barring accidents, he will be there, and very muchly so. One of the so called arguments against the free coinage of silver, not only free coinage, but any coin age at all save for subsidiary money, (for that is what it amounts to) is that the silver dollars will not circu late, that they remain in the Treas ury, which issues silver certi ficates, which some of the gold or gans call "warehouse certificates.' Would some of tese organs be good enough to tell us bow much gold there is in circulation? As a matter of convenience paper based on coin and convertible into coin is prefer able for ordinary use in the every day transactions, to either gold or silver. It is not prejudice against either gold or silver but simply be cause the people prefer the lighter and more convenient paper. But as a matter of fact there are more silver dollars in actual circulation than there is gold, and there would be still more If there were not such per sistent and concerted effort made by the gold men to keep silver out of circulation, and then assert that it isn't in circulation because the peo ple do not want it and will not have it. The Philadelphia Ledger, gold or gan, cheerfully accepts Mr. Bryan's denial, that he had been, as charged by a Chicago paper in the pay of the silver mine owners, which charge was given prominence to by the in 'direct endorsement of Senator Thrus- ton, of Nebraska, and remarks that "even those who disagree with Mr Bryan's political views will be grati fied to kDow that he has not been the subsidized orator of the silver mine and gulch owners." JuJging from the alacrity with which the or gans opposed to Mr. -Bryan spread and gave prominence to this lie, we doubt that they will be gratified at its refutation. On the contrary, we think they would have been delight ed if it had been true or if the lie stuck. CURRENT COMMENT. Unquestionably political con ditions are mixed. Mark Hanna's admission that it is too early to form an opinion about the situation in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois is one of the frankest utterances of the cam paign. Washington Post, Jnd. The Democratic advoeates of the single gold standard who for merly voted with, the Democratic party are taking a primary course of instructions under such coaches as Bourke Cochran for admission into the Republican college next Novem ber. Richmond State, Dem, John R. Venable, Esq, of Marion, is one of the true blood Democrats to whom the so-called sound money Democrats of Henrico and Richmond addressed an invita tion to join their movement. Mr. venable has" replied in indignant terms and notified the Committee of Invitation that when, if ever, he leaves the Democratic party it will be to fight in the open. Richmond Dispatch, Dem. Senator Butler, the Chairman of the Populist Executive Commit tee, in reply to an inquiry by the World's correspondent, says that "it is the bounden duty of every loyal Populist to support both Bryan and watson earnestly and loyally. He declares that Sewall is no more the candidate of the People's party than tiobartis." If Mr. Butler will look carefully into the conditions of the fusion in many of the Western States be will find that the politicians of his party are in need of discipline. At least they are not supporting Bryan ana watson. IV ew York World, jjem. APPOINTMENIS WILMINGTON TRICT. ' DI8- W. S. Bone Presiding Elder. Magnolia "circuit, Trinity, August Bladen circuit.

A lad 15 years old in Guilford county, accom panied by some other boys, recently passed near a neid oi corn. The boy pulled an ear of corn, shucked it, and as be walked along the road commenced to eat the corn. They met the owner of the corn, who ac cused the lad of stealing the corn.

The size of the vote cast in the Democratic primary last Saturday is very grati fying to all Democrats. It was the largest primary ever neld in the county, and two hundred more votes were cast than were counted in the primary two years ago. This means that the Anson Democracy is in bet ter shape now than it has been since 1892, and this being so it follows as a matter of course that victory will perch upon its banner in November. The M. & I. has made inquiry as to the condition of cotton and it be lieves that it is safe in saying that not more than two-thirds of an aver age crop will be made in this county this year. Not half as much will be made as the condition of the plant a month ago indicated. Farmers say that never before did they know cot ton to lose condition as rapidly as it did during the hot dry weather two weeks ago. The truth of the matter is the immense damage to the crop cannot be appreciated by those who have not personally examined into it. Gastonia Gazette : There was a big wind and rain storm at Mt. Holly last Friday afternoon. There was a, tremendous down-pour of rain. The wind was terrific. Trees were torn up and the people greatly frightened. The Methodist church. was almost totally demolished. So complete was the wreck that entirely new material will have to be used in rebuilding.

Mr. lhorntoa was conscious up to the final convulsion which ended in death. "He said he had eaten nothing on the trip, but had taken a drink of soda water- at one of the fountains. ; This, he said. had made him sick from the time he drank it.
