There is no limit to the quantity or quality of the dirt. a D ckery will eat in order to set aa office. Almost everyb ody in North Carolina is familiar with the Russell-Dhery feu 1.- AH of us remem ber how toe old negro organizer,-Col. QfLoe Hunter Dockery, abused Has?ell two years a j.. Then no language wa. too severe to picture' the depravity of th man who, h'j said-, stole the nomination for Governor ' from htm.'' But now all this is changed. The old office hunter is 'oa the scent of another office, and the in fluence of this bfi'tie llusseil is necessary for him to obtai n it, therefore he does not only eat dirt, but swears he likes it. Col. Dockery spoke at Marshville last week, and this week's issue of Our Home, the Rep.-Pop. organ, "refers to the effort as follows: "Col. Dockery endorsed Gov. Russell's administration. ; He said 'Pan Russell has been one of the best Governor's the State has ever had.'" " Not only two years ago, but less than six . months ago, did Dockery denounce Russell and his administration." He said to this writer, on the streets of Wades boro, something like five months ; ago that it looked like the time had come for all the decent men of the State, regardless of party, to come together and rescue the Commonwealth from the disgraceful government of Russell and bis crowd. Col. Dockery not only talked to us in this strain, but he has said substantially the same thing to others, therefore we do not believe he will dare deny-ihe accuracy of what is said above. - " A WINXlNtjl TICKET. 5Tbe Democracy of the 2 jrd Senatorial district did an excellent day's work here to day, in nominating Thos. J. Jerome, Esq., and Charles .Stanback, Esq., as its candidates to represent the district in the next General Assembly of North Caro lina. . Mr. Jerome i3 a well-known and pop ular attorney of Monroe. One of his home papers, the Enquirer, spoke of him last wee k as follows: " . . "Hf . Jerome is a man who will bear tbe Democratic standard well and worthily. In his private life he is above reproach, a gentleman'oF'Tidubranr! r nobility of character. - As a Democrat "he '4s1 loyal ami true to the tenets of his party. He is a forcible, logical speaker and will make a campaign of which the Democratic party will be proud.' : As a senator Mr.- Jerome will deal with all the people fairly- and will never do anything which he thinks will be against the interests ol his people."- v .-' Mr. Stanback "lives . near 'lit. Gilead, Montgomery county, and is engaged in farming as a means of livelihood. This is the Erst time he has been a candidate for office, but he has always been known as a staunch Democrat and an uncompro mising advocate of a white man's gov ernment for white med. - Among his ac quaintances Mr. Stanback enjoys the reputation of being a sincere, honest citi zen and is esteemed accordingly. ' .' ' f Jerome and Stanback is a ticket that will appeal to the Intelligence and de cency of the district and it will be elected. "We do "not believe it possible that a pie-bald team, composed of an office bought. "Populist and a' gold bug Republican," can beat them.5 :, " ; THE IOIL-JLSTS Af V ' A'ATI. -' CTt'IS- DISASTER AT A CROSSISO. The following is taken from the En quirer's report of the recent speech of Col. Office Hunter Dockery in Monroe: "While the old man was speaking young Dockery (meaning Ollle) was in the side room fuming and cussing and exclaiming, 'Dam old issues; why don't pa talk about the present som'ef' On ther window sash, with chalk, he wrote: 'Dam old '68 issues.'" . J ? There is small ; wonder that youn g Dockery wants to dam '68 issues. It was on these issues that the rotten party, of which he and all his kin have been beneficiaries, was driven from power, in disgrace in 1876. And it is on similar issues that the same crew will be sunk - into oblivion in this year of grace, 1898. The issues of '68 were a decent white man's government for white men. The issues of ?q8 are, the same. Honest Populists. in Union county, as everywhere else in the 'State, are re; pudiating" the sell " out of a few pie eating leaders' to the Republicans, and are returning to the Democratic party. The best description of the way in wnich the people are deserting the scuttled craft of Populism is given by G. Ed Flow, a" distinguished Republican of Monroe: G. Ed. wrote a letter to a col ored Republican in the country in which, according to the Monroe Enquirer, the statement was made "that they (meaning the Populists) are dropping away from us like chickens with the cholera." For one time ia your life, G. Edv you are right, and we thank you for the very picturesque . way in which you have made so great a truth known. : SAMPSON " WIL"L GET FOKTU ; SATE IN PISIZESl His Share at Least Forty TIiou- sand Dollars, antl May Exceed That.

" J :'v :'r ' ' ; New York, Sept. 5 A special to The Herald from Washington says: At least $1,000,000 prize money will be distributed' among American sailors as a result of the war with Spain. ' More thanone-half of this sum will be be paid in accordance with that section of law providing for the payment of a bounty for persons on board vessels of war sunk in action." ' ' It is "estimated that the 'aggregate amount due the Asiatic fleet as a result of the destruction of " the Spanish force amounts to $187,500," which congresswill be asked to appropriate during the com ing session. One-twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear Admiral- Dewey, ascom-v mander-in-chief, and he swill, therefore be $9,375 richer than he was before, the war. '. " . '' :.. "' ': Rear .Admiral Sampson has . realized a suugliule fortune .as a result of the war. As commander-in-chief of the North At lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of every prize taken,, in North Atlantic wa ters and one-twentieth of the head money, allowed for the vessels destroyed off San tiago and in Cuba ports. It is estimated that he will finally receive about $40,000 as his share of the prize money. . T;; . ; , PLEADING FOR TION. ANNEXA- L. B. Wetroore, fusion candidate for solicitor m tne eieventy district, maae a spectacle of himself in Monroe Sunday before last. The Monroe Journal, of the 1st inst., says of him: "On last Sunday he was publicly drunk on the streets of Mon roe, and exhibited a pistol in a public place, and made: a general spectacle of himself." And thus it goes, the moral of the whole disgraceful condition of politics in this State being that white men who sell themselves to negroes for office are not- fit, morally, mentally, or in any other way, to hold office.

The object of this early action was to hold off any such fusion as that of ,1896, While the radicals controlled the conven tion they could not carry out their pro gramme without a 'bolt from Northern delegates. The Western and the " Sou thern delegates nominated Wharton Bar ker and Ignatus Donnelly, and declared the principles of the reorganized party. The Eastern States were not represent ed, . ; - . - : It was the smallest national convention on record, and it adopted the longest plat form on record, one of oyer 7,000 words, Most of the usual rules of conventions were ignored, as most ; of the delegates came with self-constituted credentials, owlne to the confusion over the call.1 It was a very noisy convention and no- re port of the proceedings will ever be re corded. An elaborate address to- the people of the United States was adopted. It reaffirms the previous platform of the L'oDulista- and covers many additional questions, and in referring to the 'present situation sayst - "The People's party vote in 1894 and 1895 rose to .nearly 2,000,000, and every thing indicated its speedy national tri umph. - In this.emergeucy the.Democrat ic party saw that it had no recourse but to steal one of the principle? of the des pised Populists. ... , . . x ; - . !

Mr. Editob: After tramping over the southern part of Richmond county for some time I have gathered a few news notes that I thought perhaps would be of interest to your readers. . ' Lower Richmond has some of the finest lands 1 have ever seen. Tbe country is so level, of course, the- farmers haye better advantage for improving their lands. They have in most cases made good their oppor tunities and now have their lands in a fine state of cultivation. ' They make from 1,000 to 1,500 lbs of seed cotton a ad from 25 to 45 bushels corn to tbe acre. Many of our Anson farmers bear of the productiveness of those lands and think that farming in that sec tion pays. When we take into considera tion tbe cost of making those fine crops we wilt then see that the profit is lacking. They use from 500 to 1.000 pounds of fertilizer per acre, and then tbe expense ol making and gathering, and paying for it with cot ton at from four to five cents per pound, we can readily' see where their profit is. After taking everything Into consideration we think that tbe persevering Anson farmer can really make as much, or more, clear money farming on their hilly lands as the average farmer. The tanner in that sec tion are not near as well up on making a living at borne as our farmers. They raise but few hogs and scarcely any small grain at all. . , The roads all through that section are very good indeed. It is just as common to see a bicycle on the public roads as it is a buggy.-'-- -. v "; '' - -' ' ' Crops in that section are unusually good this year. Cotton has beerwdamaged a great deal by the receut wet weather. It is sprout ing in the boll.. . ' . , . But .very few fanners have saved any good fodder this year on account of the rainy weather. Politics are getting to be a hot number in that county this year. Everybody, small or great.are greatly interested ia politics now. Tbey have seen tbe fruits ot Rnssellism and negro rule, 1 have beard good men say that for several years they bad voted tha fusion ticket, but now were done. I beard men say who knew a great deal about politics that tbey are very hopeful that the Democrats would wrest tbe county from the hands of the eg roes and th men who follow them. They have out a very good county ticket this year. They are very hopeful of electing their legislative ticket. They have some fine people in that section and it is to be hoped that tbey will nnite and do all they can to down the old Repub- 'The 3Iau in the Shade. Cor. ol the M. tc 1. Lara surprised at "Cam ma." In bis last article he acknowledges what be denied in his first, viz-, that the farm lands are im proving, lie states that Alex. Leggett took a worn out plantation and has brought it p to a fair state of cultivation; also that Jim Wall, with his fine sense, bas greatly improved bis farm. Eb Legett, be says, made forty bales of cotton last year on bis farm (the Carraway farm) "more than has been made on tbe farm la years." Given rope enough he bas bung himself. Alex. Legett makes good crops, but be is by no means a miser. lie is sociably inclined at home and abroad wears good clothes, keeps good stock, and does not weigh every cop per that goes out of bis bands; in other words he is no niggard. lie lives well at home, and drinks the best when be can get it, and doeslnot mind treating bis friends. He told me the other day that be bad spent foolishly enough money to have built hini a good bouse, in tbe last few years. I am opposed to 5c cotton aud the gold gtandard.but neitbeifone bas kept Jim Wall from making his farm pay. No man can live in town and farm successfully with our present system of labor, lie lays great stress on tbe condition of the Jim and Alee. Allen lands; aleo the Knott's lands. Jim and Alex, owe their downfall.as also II. T. KnotU, to merchandising on long credit, for which their lands were in no sense re sponsible. Tbe broad acres that have gone to waste in the White Store section is main ly on account of their owners leaving their farms for tbe seductive life of the towns. Those who are liviug see clearly their mis takes. You cannot divide your life equal ly between any two callings and make a success of either. Tbe farmer, to make a success.mnst needs stay on tbe farm all the time; that must be bis home, bis eating and sleeping place. The merchant in bis store, tbe lawyer in bis office, tbe doctor in his shop, every man to bis calling, and if successful be must give that calling all bis time. I am confident that the farm offers as many inducements to success, even at low prices for farm products, as any other calling in our midst." Merchant's profits are short, litigants are greatly reduced in number, people ate learning to doctor themselves; so notbig is offering big profits now. "Gamma" says, "when 1 say, say someting; when 1 talk, talk truth and sense; don't be sounding brass." To a man up a tree this sounds very mnch as if some one bad been lying. lie wants facts and figures. Well, 1 did not want to come down to too many facts all at once. It It might make a fellow feel badly; I always rather tbat my friends should feel good, and am always ready to do my part to en able them to thus feel. Now ior (acts, if nothing else will do. Alex. Legett for a number of years run the farm where the late Joel E. Gaddy once lived one of the best f anus for improvement in this section of tbe country. Alex, bad a big corn shucking every year, made big crops of oats, peas, potatoes ind from 70 to 75 bales ot cotton annually; kept stock, hauled in leaves and straw and improved tbe lands; kept the bouses in repair, yards clean and pailings up, the road down tbe avenue was not in gullies, everything about the premi ses Betokened thrift. "Behold how tbe mighty is fallen;" "Judge not lest ye be judged;" "A tree is known by its fruits;" "A house divided against itself cannot stand." etc.. etc.. ad libitum. Now this fine farm showed what thrift and intelli gent direction, was capable of accomplish ing. "Gamma" says be was raised on a farm and knows bow to farm. I sincerely hope be will put bis knowledge to a more practical use. If, as he says, bis expenses are $60 monthly, while his own rations do not cost over one dollar per month, what goes with the other $59? I cannot see. Tbe farm lying near me does not show for its pro rata share of this amount. He says his farms make from 40 to 60 bales of cot tonsay 60 bales half to bis; he to pay tbe expeuses of bis half, which is stated as about $7 JO. His half of tbe cotton brought $750, leaving thirty dollars as profit of the year. Now "Gamma," if you will produce cotton bills for tbe 60 bales sold last year, I believe I will forgive you for binting that some one was guilty of hyperbole. You, nor any one else bas a right to charge the expenses of your town bouses to the farm. That farms in this section are large enough for those who have eyes to see them tbat any misrepresentations thai we may make regarding them can be seen by tbe observing pnblic. Be sure our short com ings will find us out. I will tell you bow you cannot succeed in raising 5c cotton. Plant your lands year after year in the same crop. Never think of rotating in any crops tbat turnisb humus to tbe soil; do not keep any stock other than poor horses and mules; never haul in litter in yards or sta bles; do not sow peas for hay; do not gath er any more forage than you can help, let it stay on your waste lands; sow your cotton seed in tbe road instead of tbe fields; do not have any wagon bodies; use old plows as long as you can; do not have any pas tures; never repair houses nor work road&; never visit your neighbors; plant no corn; if you do gather in baskets; if you sow wheat see that it is nine-tenths snioot and cbess; sow no oats; if you do put them on your poorest lauds without manure; plant no potatoes, peanuts, sorghum, etc.; if you do, do not work them. Do these and more of like kind, and do not forget to grumble, carry out these bints and my word for it you cannot successfully raise 5-cent cotton on "Little Bbowx Cheek."
