The renortof the committee aDno nted o iH8ue an address to the public is being anxiously looked for by the whole State. If uny prof pective platform is laid down ... . .

Wo arc disappointed that the ad dress is not out in time for us to pub lish it in this issne. I have beea frequently as ke by friends why I do not publish a oard making cor- fCctions when I am incorrectly reported. In tha first plaoa if I correct one misrep resentation I must correct all, for other wise it would bj taken as evidence that those left uncorrected were truj ; ia the next plaoe there are 150 papers in the State I do not see aad if I should see them all it would mouopoliz my time to ag-eat extent, and lastly the truth never overtakes a falsehood. There are papers that gladly publish misrepresentations that wonld not publish a correction. So it would bi impossible to reach the same readers. If the papers can stand it I can. In the meantime I ahall continue to do what I consider to be my duty, irrespec- tive of any comments, criticisms or mis- representations.

There are individual exhibits which are highly creditable. The display made by tbe Blackweu Durham Tobacco Com pany ia very attractive. People from this part of the State cannot help feel ing pridj in the display made by the Elkin Valley Woolen Mills. The S'.ate's collection of minerals and gems, which has been tranferred for the time being to the exposition building, reflects tbe greatcet credit upon us. The exhibit made by the University arrests atten urpnaa Asylum. Uere ana there over efre building are scattered objects aailta ' t th . of Th0 art exhibit is. in the main, a mess.

It is not comparable to the State Exposition of 1884, which was a Horth Carolina affair exclusively. Yes the State Exposition of '84 was far superior to the present exhibit, which is a failure as a great Southern Inter-State Exposition. Hot why is it that North Carolina alone does not make as good an exhibit now as it did them? She has lost a great opportunity, for if she had an exhibit at Raleigh now that was creditable to htr most resources, she would not only advertise herself further and better than ever before, but she would also get the advantage by con- vast with other Southern States. MA WORD iyiTH BUSINESS HEW." We are glad to reproduoe the following editorial from the News and Observer.

Sicces no less gratifying than that which rewards his tfforts in bis own State cb?ractwi&fs the meetings of He "Dramtuer Evangelist" when he crosses the border. A South Boston, Va., cor respondent of the Richmond Dijpatcb writes as follows from that place: ''Evangelist Fife's mecthjg here contin ues to Increase In interest. The town has b?en fflled every day with people from all parts of Halifax county, and many have come from other counties Large crowds attend every service, and dur.ng the day sessions nearly every business house is closed, corns cf tbe saloons included. This is remarkable, ss Mr. Mr. Fife directs some of bis hardest work against the saloon a. The people here are more wrought up on religion than was ever before known, and men and men and women are work ing with their pactors to bring their relatives, friends and acquaintances to God. Christians are happy and joyous over the conversion of maty wto bava hitherto beea very careU-es and Indif ferent to religlou. Mr. Fife, despite LU weak physical condition, brought on by overwork, leaves so effort uue-npicjefJ, an-i grows in the love of tha communitj." Mr. life has returned from South Baston, and we give additional facts with regard to the meeting. In a town with a population of 2 500, tLe Ev&cge litt began his Services itu a congrtga tion not exceeding COO persoc3, and ended with 3,000 present. Of tha sal oon men converted, two are known to have poured their liquor oat on tho streets; ia fact, all of them surreudcrcd their licenses, and the town c-jmrai.6.-eioiiers hava met and refunded their money for the unexpired litne. different churches Lave about doubled the salaries of their pastors, and the conversions arc estimated at 250, with lasting good ef fected for the cause of Christ in many other ways. Verily, Mr. Fife is working wondera in tbe salvation cf souls and the reclama tion of backsliders to tbe fold - of God. At the conclusion of tha services a than lis offering was given to Mr. Mr. Fife in the shape of a purse of $1,638.10. Siuco Mr. Fife's return home he has received tele grams from Revs. Thompson and Des- h8zor, pastors of tho Methodist; rnd Biptiat churches, dnd from Messrs Shephard, Barbour, Owen, E-isley and Watkius, prominent citizens, oJ South Boston, stating that all the bav-roouis had been bought out and closed. Mr. Fife commences a scries of meet ings at Danville, Va , next fiunday. (We saw Mr. Fife a few momenta at the depot in Fayette ville on las t Satur day. He was then on his way to Dan ville. He looks very much worn fatigu ed. We fear that he is workinsr too hard. He should put at least two weeks be tween these meetings. Ed J THE FAIiMEK PAYS FREIGHT. THE We will send abroad 250,000,000 bushels of wheat. For it we will re ceive say SSoO.000,000. This will be in vested in clothing, iu carpets, in linens, in furniture, in chinaware, in tinware, hard ward, etc., etc. When theso cargoes reach New York they are setved by Federal officers. They are weighed and measured aad valued, and the owners are compelled to pay in duties 50 per cent of the value of the cargoes. Thi3 will be a tax of $125, 000,000. In other words, the farmers must send abroad three bushels of wheat in order to get in return the exchange value of two. Last year the experte of cotton amount ed to $5, 800,000 bales. One-third of the return cargoes were confiscated under the plea of protection. Of last year's cotton crop two-thirds were exported, one third was consumed at home. It required all the cotton sold in American mills to pay the duties on the return cargoes taken in exchange for ths 5,890,000 bale3 sold abroad. Here we ha.ve an object lessen illustra ting tbe iD justice and the oppression of of our whole sjetfm, so-called. The farmer, lie pays the freight; he pays the tax; he pays the peneions. To do tbi3 he has to cultivate three acres in order to have for bis own us9 the pro duct of two. ItHs the most stupendous system of iniquity and oppression to whicla any free people ever submitted, and yet the farmer who works three days for two days' wages is expected to walk up to the polls m f ennsylvaaia, in Ouio and m the Great Norlhwast aud vote for Ila- Kinlev and protection.

It is plaiu to every uaprt jadicd mind that the attak3 tlut arc being mde upon C.o Pfclk have their origin in th& hatrtd of tho cau that he represents. They were unhe-nrd of before he ideati fisd himself v.ich the Alliance taove meut. An l it is worthy of note that every charge made against his eharac t r hss been proven falre Is it not abjnt tima that the mouths cf the slan derers were sapped ? For four succes sive year3 he has been elected President of the State Baptist Convention, a posi tion of cqaal dignity of a Methodist or Episcopal Bishop or Presbyterian mod-erato'-. "Rouhl that body composed of the character and intelligence cf the great Biptist denomination, so honor a ooward and a hypocrit? Nay, verily. The charge that Col. Polk playea the co Tard at the battle of Winchester has been explained. The unjust and uncalled for attacks upon Col. Poik has had two effects; (1) They have driven Alliancemen to him and solidified the order and absolutely weakened the confidence of the people in tbe truthfulness of the portizan press and 2) made bis re-election as Presi dent of the National Alliance a necessi ty.

The second annual Fair of the Piedj mont Alliance and Industrial Union Fair AtEcciation Las just closed. First, financially it was a success. The display of exhibits has tever been surpassed at any fair in this section of the country. The amusement were all that could be wished The racing was as good as anywhere by scrub stock. A daring feature of the fair was exhibited by a country boy liviDg near town. He climbed a pole twenty fest high and stcod on his head on the top of it. Some crack shooting was done by Montana Charlie. He drove a centre, holdiag his gun in various positions, and closed by shooting an apple off the toad of oae of his associates. The balloon ascension by rror. inompson could not be made on Thursday on accout of the high wind. out ne went op witn tlymg colors en Friday and received tho applause of the entire crowd. The special davs were well attended. Wednesday was Veterans' day, and they were addressed by Hon. J. S. Hendeisi. Oa Thursday Harry Skiuner, the father of the Sub Treasury, spoke to more than 5,000 paopla. Ills speech was well ie ceivd and the applause he received marked well the position our people take on this measure. Friday was Al!iT;ee day, and State President Mai ion Bitler spoke to a Urge and appreciative audience for one and a hair hours. From his speech our people have learned to esteem mm highly, ana we are sure tnat the order will prosper n cis nanus. This! is strictly au Alliance fair, owned and ran exclusively by Alliance mosey.

The render ing of the First Sonata In 1) Minor, by Guilumnt, cm the great organ of the Brooklyn Tabernacle this mornlnp, by Professor Henry Eyre Browne, the or ganist, held tho va.t congregation spellbound with profound emotion. Dr. Talmage preached on "Sailing np the Nile," the second sermon of the series, entitled "From tho Pyramids to tho Acropolis; or. What I Saw in Frypt and Greece Confirmatory of the Scrip tures." His text was Ezekiel xxix. 9. "The river is mine aud I have 111 ado it." Aha! This is tho River Niio. A brown or yellow or silver oord on which are hung more jewels of thrill ing interest than on any liver that was ever twisted in tho sunshine. 4 It ripples through the book of Ezekiel, and flashes in the books of Deuteronomy and Isaiah and Zcchariah and Nahuin, and on its banks stood tho mighties of many ages. It was the crystal cradlo of Moses, and on its banks Mary, the refugee, carried the infant Jesus. To find the birthplace of this river was the fascination and defeat of expeditions without number. Not many years ago Bayard Taylor, our creat American traveler, wrote. "Since Columbus first looked upon Han Salvador the earth has but one emo tion of triumph left for her bestowal, and that she reserves for him who shall first drink from the fountains of the White Nile under the snow fields of Kilima-Njaro." But the discovery of the sources of the Nile by most people was considered an impossibility. The malarias, the wild beasts, the savages, the uncliinbable steeps, the vast dis tances, stopped all the expeditions for ages. An intelligent native said to Srr Sam uel W. Baker and wife as they were on their way to accomplish that in which others had failed: "Give up the mad scheme of the Isile 6ouroe. How would it be possibk for a lady young and del icate to endure what would kill the strongest man? Give It up." But the work went on until Speke and Grant and Baker found the two lakes which are the source of what was colled the White Nile, and baptized these two lakes with the names of Victoria and Albert These two lakes, filled by great rain falls and by accumulated snows from the mountains, pour their waters, laden with agricultural wealth such as blesses no other river, on down over the cata racts, on between frowning mountains, on between cities living and cities dead, on for four thousand miles and through a continent. But the White Nile would do little for Egypt if this were all. It would keep its banks and Egypt would remain a desert. But from Abyssinia there comes what is called the Blue Nile, which, though dry or nearly dry half tho year, under tremendous rains about the middle of June rises to great momentum, and this Blue Nile dashes with sudden in flux into tho White Nile, which in con sequence rises thirty feet, and their combined waters inundate Egypt with a rich soil which drops on all the fields and gardens as it is conducted by ditches and sluices and canals every whither. The greatest damage that ever caino to Egypt came by the drying up of the River Nile and the greatest blessing by its healthful and abundant flow. The famine in Joseph's time came from the lack of sufficient inundation from the Nile. Not enough Nile ' Is " drouthtoo much Nile is freshet and plague. The rivers of the earth are the mothers of its prosperity. If by some convulsion of nature the Mississippi should he taken from North America, or the Am azon from South America, or the Dan ube from Europe, or the 'Yenisei from Asia what hemispheric calamity I Still there are other rivers . that could fcr tilize and save these countries. Our own continent is gulched, is rib boned, is glorified . by innumerable water courses. But Egypt has only one great river, and that is harnessed trr draw all the ' prosperities of realms in ' acreage semi-infinite., ; . What Imp-1 pens to the Nile happens -to Egypt. The Nilometer was to me very sugges tive ae we went up and down its damp stone steps and saw the .pillar marked with notches telling ust how high or low are the waters of the 1 Nile. : "When the Nile Is rising, -four 'criers every morning run through the city announc ing how many feet the river has risen ten feet, fifteen feet, twenty feet, twenty-four feet; and when the right height of water is reached the gates of the canals are flung open and the liquid and refreshing benediction far pro nounced on ll the land. -A "WOXDKBFCI, FCLFILJ.ME5T Of PBOPHKCT. ; vAsire start where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean sea we behold wonderful. fulfillment of prophecy. L The Nile in very ancient times used to Lave seven mouths. As the great river approached the sea it entered the' sea at seven different places.' Isaiah proph esied, "The Lord shall utterly destroy the . tongue of the Egyptian sea and ahaU smite iX in the seven streams. The fact is they are all destroyed but two, and Herodotus said tliese two re Tnnining are artificial Up the Nile we shall go; part of the way by Egyptian fall train and - then byboat, end "we hall niidTKiud why the Aa girt raeh prautbtooe to thi nvrr, wSdrh i th larvest river ef all 1L0 rUi UU or exemption.

But all, aboard the Egyptian rail train going np tbe bonks of the Nile ! Look out of the window and see tlioo cam els kneeling for the Imposition of their load. And I think we might take from them a lesson, and, Instead of trying to stand upright In our own strength, be come conscious of oar, weakness and need of divine help before we take upon us the heavy duties of the year or the week or the day, and so kneel for the burden. We meet processions of men and boasts ou the way from their day's work, but alas for tho homes to which the poor inhabitants are going, for the most part hovels of mud. But there Is something In the scene that thoroughly enlists us. It,ia the novelty of wretchedness and a scene of picturesque rags. For thou sands of years tliis land has been under a very damnation 01 taxw. coming but Christian civilization will roll back the influence which are "spoiling tle Egyptians." There are gardens and palaces, but they belong to tho rulers. About here, under the valiant Murad LBey, the Mamelukes, who arc the finest horsemen in all the world, came like a hurricane upon Napoleon' army, ' but they were beaten back by the French In one of the fiercest battles of all time. Then the -Mamelukes turned their horses' heads the other way, and In des peration backed - them against the French troops, hoping the horses would kick the life out of the French regi ments. The Mamelukes failing again, plunged Into this Nile and were drown ed, tbe iTench for days fishing out the dead bodies of the Mamelukes to get the valuables upon their bodies. Na poleon, at the daring of these Mame lukes, exclaimed, "Could I have united the Mameluke horse to tW French in fantry,"! would have reckoned myself master of the world. . spimr astd rMpaEssjvk ride.
