C. Mb. J. 1, Flythe, of Jackson, comes out of the great campaign for White Supremacy with au envia ble reputation as a public speaker. He has more than met the highest expectations of his friends and won the admiration of even his po litical enemies. In future cam paigns his services on the stump will be in great demand. He makes a strong, logical speech, free from vituperation the kind that wins adherents to one's cause. His speech at Rich Square last Satur day ranks with those made by the old campaigners who have spoken in onr County during the campaign. This is the con sensus of opinion of those who have heard them. ELECTION U. S. SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE. The progress of popular govern ment has been a slow but sure process. It has advanced along with intelligence and more univer sal education. So long as the learning and knowledge ol the world was in the possession of the monasteries and the royal families ij the old world there was scarcely a contest for political or religious freedom. Men as a class being in ferior to their priests and kings naturally and perhaps rightfully thought that kings and priests were created to govern and they to be governed. But when the print ing press was established a new thought and hope seized the en lightened minds of men and pupu lar government was born at the cost of the old theories of govern ment. With the training of their intelleot men oamo to place a high er and more exalted opinion npon their own capacities for govern ment and to divest royalty of what was called its "divine right" to rale. , So when oar forefathers be gun to look around for a form of government for onr country, thej . decided that man was capable of self government and that God had not sent us "angels in shape of men to role over ns." But this eonclu , sioa was aot reached without much : opposition. Alexander Hamilton and his followers "brought their : ideas of government from EnglanC and they could not be persuaded ion man oouia rue nimseu, ana we have among ns today a large element of Hamiltoneans who dis trust the people and prophesy with somesatisfaffltipn to themselvos the early fall of our Republic. ,' Ham ilton went as far at to advocate se riously that the governors of the several states be not elected by the state bnt appointed by the Presi dent, thus maki; j a strong central ized government and clotbirg oar thief mstrale wivh all lie pow er of aiir, bnt t'.:3 r!ia was de-f.-.iol " "i, Lo"r -.'"sfHa- jress tbub taking it oat 'of ' the ' WEEKLY CEOPBDLLETn ing their wishes only indirectly as j.S8Ued by the N. C, Section of iu me eiecuon oi u. o. Denators.1 ki rT c n,..imit t a. So we see that we staited oat with aot' a per feat form of republican government but mora a republican atistootatio government. Popu alar government was an experi ment and our fore fathers content d themselves with skimming the shores while fearing to venture out upon a sea of grave and dangerous experiment i But 100 years of ex perience has made clear to us and demonstrated to the world that oan can govern himself better than others can govern him and the success of oar system has "revolu tionized the governments of the world. Now onr present mode of elect ing Senators is a survival of Ham ilton's distrust of the people and should be ohanged. A people can do directly better than they can indirectly. If they are competent to select a legislature to elect Senator, are they not capable of electing a Senator themselves? And if the legislature is to carry out the wishes of the people as it olaims to, why not take this bur den from the legislature and per mit the people to do directly what they do indirectly? Is there not danger that the will of the people passing through other hands, will be ignored and disregarded? We think so, and know there is nol only danger but that such a thing has already happened in a nam ber of cases. In our own State Pritohard's election was due to a combination formed between him and Butler and the wishes of the people were altogether disregard ed. The same has happened in the oase of Clark from Montana and Quay from Pennsylvania. There should be no middlo ground between the people and the gov ernment. Our legislatures should not be bnrdened with election of Sena tors but should devote their time and attention to economic condi tions and questions which natural ly art worthy the solution of such a body. A United Party, When Mr. Bryan took the field four years ago he had on his shoulder the great work of re organizing the party and making ts strength effective. That is what his wonderful canvass of that campaign meant In a large part of the country be was de serted by the Democratic press, and in the great states the organ ization was a mete pretense, do ing nothing for the cause of the candidate. He has not to do over again in 1900 the work he so nobly and splendidly performed in 1896 That work is done. He now starts where be left off in the last cam paigo. He is backed by a united party, never in more aggressive form and ne ver so determined to achieve victory, if victory is pos sible, or can be achieved through well directed and earnest offort With all disadvantages against him in 1896 bp has now all that could be reasonably hoped for at the outset of the campaign in his favor. In 1896 he polled 6,500,000 votes and bad a large majority of the native-born white votes, com ing within 20,000 votes of an elec tion, if there had been changes to that extent in six states. He ac complished this under such ob stacles and discouragements as oever before faced a candidate for the presidency. With this record, what may not be expect ed when everything is favorable? We believe those who subscribe to the Kansas City platform and believe in Bryan today constitute a majority of the American elec torate. The reunited Democracy should go forth to certain victory. Pittsburg Post . rioulture for week end ' Ing July 00. Au extremely fortunate oLauge In the .: weather '' conditions in North Carolina occurred at the beginning of the week ending Monday. July, 80. 1800.; and the gloomy apprehension ;, of ' the farmers were removed by the au pious precipitation, which thor oughly broke the drouth through out the State. The rains began early in the central and west por tions, but were delayed until the 27th (Friday) in the southeast; iu some sections showers occurred every day aod.'tbe State average exceeded the normal by over two inches. Over several counties a very heavy downpour happened on Friday which washed hillsides considerably, and bottom land corn was injured by overflowing streams to some extent; high winds also tangled corn in por tions of Buncombe, Davidson and Yadkin counties, but these minor unfavorable features are insifroi- flcent compared with the wonder f ul revival of crops not too great ly injured by the drouth. The general improvement caused by the splendiu rains was assisted by the moderate temperature and cloudy weather that prevailed, Very much old corn was so greatly damaged by drought that it cannot recover under most fa vorable conditions, but all late corn appears to have been tbor oughly revived and is now prom ising. The moisture assures sue cessful earing and a fairly good crop; corn is still be injured by chinch bugs in some localities. Cotton has rev ived wonderfully, and although the plants are still late and small for the season, the general abundance of blooms and free setting of fruit would in dicate a good yield Shedding and rust are reported in several counties, but not more than is usual at this period. Here and there fields of cotton onligh sandy soil were too much injured by the drought to recover fully, The chief damage to tobacco oc curred to the forward crop in the south and east portions. Late and well cultivated tobacco in the most important tobacco growin sections was greatlv improved by favorable conditions this week conditions are very diversified however, some reporting the crop 'very promising" (Granville) and others as "running to seed" (D vidson). Peanuts, sweet potatoes, nem peas ana rice nave improv ed. Threshing is finished ex cept in the extreme west where the work is progre6sind rapid ly. Plowing fallow land and sowing turnips have commenced. The ram in the western tier of coun ties interfered somewhat with the completion of tbe oat harvest and with haying. Pastures have revived; bogs and cattle are do- ng well. A fine yield of honey was obtained this year. tien ; . GLORIOUS NEWS, -Conies from Dr. D. B. Carglle, o Washita, I. T.

Ransom bought the Polenta farm on the Roanoke, eomprislnir over 2000 acres, from the- executor of the late John W. Buxton, many pre' dieted that the farm would not be kept up to the high state of culti vation of the past few years. These predictions have not been fulfilled. Mr. W. H. Evans, one of our successful farmers and a man of good judgment, was on this farm a few days ago and tells as that Gen. Ransom has the best crop that has been ou the Polenta iu 5 years. Others tell.us the same thing. Mr. Evans says be Jsaw ou the Polenta one huo dred and twenty five acres of tbe finest . cotton, he ever saw any where at this season of the year. that all the cotton on tbe farm was very good and no grass in the cotton anywhere to be found. Mr. Geo. W.r Lowe, who super intends this farm for Gen. Ran som, understands his business Be has been with tbe General for several years and knows what he waots- Th's farm is cultivated by hired ' colored labor. - No trouble has been experienced in securing Jaboi. The men are paid cash for their work (the same plan Mr. Buxton pursued so successfully) and as often as they want It They are never asked to take "orders"on anyone. This is the secret of General Ransom's success in having one of the best crops and cultivated farms on tbe Roanoke. HE POOLED THE SUR0E0N. All doctors told Eeniok Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O., after suffer ng 18 months from rectal fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured him self wih five boxes of Bucklen's Arnaca salve, the surest Pile cure on earth, and the best salve in the world. 25 cents a box.
