News readies us from all overthis dis trict of a thoroughly united democracy.

We are informed that within a little while five hundred hands will be actively at work. Push it along, gentlemen. TOWNSHIP MEETINGS He Always Talks Sense. Richmond Dispatch: Senator Vance is talking sense to the members of the Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina touching the importonce of undivided Democracy as well as of the rights of the agriculturalists, which have been shamefully neglected steadily legislated against, indeed and which demand as sertion. He speaks through a letter to Mr. Elias Carr, the . present head of the Alliance organization in the Tar Heel State, which ietter has been published. Conventions Held at Asheville, Lei cester and Keems Creek, According to notice a goodly number of the Democracy of Asheville township met Saturday, 11th inst., to select dele gates to the county convention to meet in this city on Saturday next, 19th inst.

Carter and J. S. McElroy, who were unanimously approved as the town ship executive committee. The convention then adjourned. REEMS' CREEK TOWNSHIP. The convention for this township appointed the following delegates to the county convention Saturday: J. W. Van diver, J. N. Rogers, G. W. Peek, E. D. Weaver, W. L. Reagan, J. Kelly Cham bers, W. C. Sams. Ezekial Roberts, Zeb Baird, T. Hale Weaver, W. W; Vandiver, C. P. Weaver, W. E. Weaver and F. P. Roberts. LER'ETKK TOWNSHIP. The following delegates were chosen: B. G. Gudger, P. Israel, J. B.

Sprinkle were added to the delega tion. A Hay Compress. The Democrat ventures to suggest to its Alliance friends that one of the best acts it could do for the good of the farmers of this section, would be to es tablish in Asheville a large hay compress for baling hay for market. Those farmers who have to haul hay to market in one or two ton loads, know the disadvantage they labor under, both in disposing of their loads and in lower prices they have to take compared with the usual prices for baled hay. When baled, the hay can be sold either in this, or shipped to other markets, which cannot be done with loose hay. A compress and warehouse would pay both the farmer, directly, and for compressing and baling. We ask the attention of our farmer friends to this matter. It will be dollars to many of them. , ' ' " Talking- Sense. The Jackson county Alliance at its re cent meeting, adopted two important re ports, submitted by 'committees. One was that the educational facilities of the county were not what they should be for so good and progressive a people, and urged members to supplement the school tax so as to secure enough to have schools for at least four months, and to urge the next legislature to increase the school levy so as to insure longer term schools. The other was considering the present roads of the county, and demanding of the authorities that the laws relative to working the roads be enforced. Fair View Notes. Miss. Page, of, the Art department of the female college of Thomasville, has been visiting Rev. Mrs. J. M. Hilliard. Mrs. G. W. Page and children, also Miss Dalton, of Asheville spent a por tion of last week in Fair View. Mr. J. D. Brevard, the popular boot and shoe drummer, representing Wingo, Ellett & Crump, of Richmond, Va., paid our town a business trip a few days ago. Prof. H. L. King, we learn, is consid ering a proposition in reference to con necting himself with the school at this place. We hope the arrangement may result satisfactory to all concerned, and that he may locate among us. He and Prof. W. A. G. Brown will constitute the faculty With this faculty, Fair View will soon have one of the most popular institutions of learning in the country. Corn is needing rain. Much of the to bacco crop is being topped and is look ing well. The best market to sell on is frequent ly discussed by some of our growers. Danville is still the favorite market of some, while others declare themselves decidedly partial to the home market, certain circumstances having altered their opinions very recently. The political situation of our town ship is hard to determine at this time. The Alliance men are for Vance, so will all good Democrats be, if he is the nomi nee of the party. Some want Johnson, so do I if he "gets there." Some Craw ford, some Elies. I say hurrah fer the man that "gets there Eli" in the conven tion. I am for him. The world is wide, the sea is deep The Democratic principles are hard to beat. ; This is my first attempt at poetry writing, but I tell you there is any amount f good horse sense in that last line. L. H. , i ANOTHER LARGE ENTERPRISE. The Black Mountain Iron and Alum Springs Company. The above company ha3 just been in corporated and consists of Dr. J. S. Grant, Dr. S. W. Battle, and Messrs. Moore, Sprague and Echols. They have purchased the celebrated iron and alum springs near Black Mountain station, and w ill enter at once upon the develop ment of the property and utilization of the waters. These waters will be con densed, which will result in the precipi tation of a mass, . which will be com pressed into 5-grain tablets, containing all the virtues of the waters, and in a shape to be easily used anywhere on the globe. One of these tablets will make a glass of the finest medicinal water in the world. It is a specific for chronic dis eases, and has made remarkable cures Within 30 days Dr. Grant, at Grant's Pharmacy, this city, will be ready to supply the whole country, as the com pany are going into the business on a large scale. The results so far obtained from the use of these waters and the mass therefrom guarantee a great popu lar reception for this new candidate for public favor, and the names of the gen tlemen connected with the enterprise as sures the greatest good faith., A Good Chance. Our countryman, J. F. Wells. Esj., of Sandy Mush, owns one of the best grass farm0 in this section, alreadv under high cultivation. The farm is abundantly supplied with the purest mountain wa ter. Mr. W. says if some one who thor oughly understands cheese making, wiil furnish the necessary machinery and stock, he will enter upon most liberal teims with him for the manufacture of cheese on a large scale. No finer coun try on earth can be found for such an enterprise, and the Democrat earnestly wishes the right man may come along and take Mr. Wells up. OPEN TO THE WORLD. A Grand Rifle Contest at Asheville, August 5th $300 in Prizes. Capt. V. E. McBee, Superintendent of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, offers a prize of one hundred and fifty dollars in gold to the rifie team of seven making the highest score, off hand, at Creedmoor target, according to the rules of the National Rifle Associa tion. - A SECOND PRIZE of one hundred dollars will be given the team making the second highest score.- A THIRD PRIZE of fifty dollars will be given the team making the third highest score. .

Grant, PL GL i (Of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.) Apothecary, 24 South Main SU The Way It is Working. The Tuckesegie Democrat says: We are informed that Dr. J. M. Candler, perhaps the most prominent RepubUcan in this (Jackson)r county, has declared that if the force bill passes the Senate he will never again vote another Republican ticket." This is the way it is working all over the South. Southern white Republicans, either native or adopted, who prefer peace and progress, to turmoil and trouble and a consequent destruction of business interests which are rapidly improving in this section, denounce this interference of Northern Repub licans. If it is passed it will make the South . more solid than ever, solid for peace, for progress, for all the prin ciples which tend to keep active the best elements of society, good will and enter prise. We cannot yet believe that the Senate will pass so infamous and de structive a measure. . If your prescriptions are prepared a Grant's Pharmacy you can positively de pend upon these facts: First, that only the? purest and best drugs and cliemieils will te nsed; second, they will be compounded care fully and accurately by an experienced Pre script io nut, and third, you trill rwt be charged an ex7urbitant price.

Circulate . the Asheville . Democrat. We ask our friends in every, toy-nship in Western Carolina to circulate the Asheville Democrat. The larger the circulation the greater good it will ac complish for honest government, lower taxes and the continuance of the rule of affairs by the honest white men of the country. The great campaign of this year is upon us.' The people should be thoroughly posted on the? nefarious and shameless scheme of the present Repub lican powers to degrade the South, and heap up additional burdens upon an al ready overburdened farming and labor ing people The ; 'Democrat will do its duty in tliis crisis, and expose and op pose all these schemes of oppression and j plunder.
