They will be used up. , Last night until a late hour the Republican Senatorial caucus was in session in Senator Chandler's house in this city. 1 learn the sub ject of discussion was the tariff sub stitute bill and the disapproval of the bill by Mr. Blaine, to whom the original draft had been submitted, politicians hereare calling it Blaine's veto. It is almost certain that the bill will be materially altered to meet the views of the "man of des tiny." It is clear, Mr. Blaine is run ning the G. (). T. during this cam paign, and he is going to have things all his own way. Harrison is a fig ure head. The North Carolina Democratic Association reorganized last night with' an unusually large attendance. The"' following - otlicers were elected for the eaidpaign President, R. II. Cowan ; Vice-President, J. M. Leach, .Jr.: Secretary. '.J. T. Britt : and Treas urer, R. A. Wheeler. Executive Committee, Capt. R. A. Graham. Col. II. U. Williams and Capt, .John P. Ilussey. . It is possible that the position re cently resigned by Sol Haas, as trallic manager of the Associated Railroads of Virginia and the Carolinas. will not be tilled at all ; but that the du ties will be assumed by the Executive Board of the two roads. Mr. Haas, however, will remain wifli the Asso ciation until about the middle of Sep tember in order to settle -up matters. His reason for accepting the Chesa peake.' .oiler, is that it opens up a wider held' and is likely to ' prove much more lucrative." It will be the aim of The Datly Tobacco Plant to furnish its readers with the very latest news from all quarters and to present he same in an a' tractive manner. IN POLITICS We shall give faithful allegiance to the principles of the Democratic party that party under whose administration of pub ' i' .-' . - lie anairs tue state ami the country at large has enjoyed the greatest prosperity and the richest blessings and of course we shall contribute our best efforts towanls securing the trhimphant election of the m excellent State and National Democratic tickets. OUR LOCAL DEPARTMENT We shall endeavor to make interesting and sprightly, furnishing the latest hap penings at home and doing all in our power to still further advance the interests of our plucky," enterprising and prosperous town REMEMBER Our prices and our terms, and favor us at once with your subscription and with your advertising patronage. A run-awav couple drove up" to the court house here yesterday to he mamed. A minister was sent tor. While they were waiting for the reverend gentleman Dr. Mary Walk er walked in with her long prince albert coat on. The would be yrroom mistook her for the clergyman, walked up and handed her the li- cense. ne took the. document, ex amined it, smiled, grasped the situ ation and told the young-man she was not a preacher, but she thought he would arrive soon. She lingered long enough to witness the cere mony. - To-day in the House the Repub licans jnade an effort to bring up a pension bill, evidently for campaign purposes. They were thwarted by ruling of the Speaker. Judge Crisp, of Georgia, has calcu lated the sum of all appropriation bills which have passed ami are to pass, and tinds when these are pro vided for, there will be only $13,000, 000 left in the Treasury. What bear ing this will have- oh the taritV I leave to the propet who "lwlds the fort" at the Weather Rureau., , . ; Messrs. Cowles and Latham have returned. save all commissions and all interest. It is a cut at the middlemen. The farmers propose to see what unity of effort and ready cash will do for their advancement The Alliance paid its respects to the cotton bagging trust and decided to use bagging made from damaged cotton, or the lower grades, instead of jute or gunny bagging. This is a very positive action. The Alliance will not use the "trust" bagging. It calls upon the othe State Alliances to follow its example. All -the old officers were re-elected. Capt. Alexander, President ; Colonel Polk. Secretary, etc. The last work was the adoption of some resolutions which are in fact, demands, and pretty plain ones too. They demand that no more convict labor be sjiven free'to any corporations; that theju risdiction of magistrates be enlarged and the cost of litigation in minor causes be reduced ; that a railway commission, be created ; that the sys tem" of accepting free passes on rail ways be abolished so far as Statt; officers are concerned. . The next session of the Alliance is to-be held at Favetteville, in August ls.SM. The .manly utterances of The Plant in reference to the Third party are heartily commended. So many papers fear to "speak out," are afraid somebody will be olfended, A:c. It is refreshing to see a paper give a merited rebuke, give it plainly and fearlessly. That is journalism in a high sense. 1 The Knights of Labor in Wilson county have held a convention anil brought forth a ticket, as follows : Sheriff, Daniel Whitley ; Register of Deeds, John T. Moore; Treasurer, F. I. Finch : Coroner, W. H. Lane; Sur veyor, J. T. Lane. For the House of Commons, B. A. Pell was nominated. The convention then recommended to tlit' Jlepubfivaa convention, lor the Senate, Dr. Thomas Person. The fruit fair closed last night, brilliant to the last, j The premiums were awarded yesterday. Robert Leeson Porter came back yesterday, clothed and much more nearly in his right mind. He was discovered at Margarettsville. Im portant papers from Ireland will be here for him in a few days, from the American Consul at Dublin. The' Governor's Guard is making arrangements to go to Augusta, Ga., for the purpose of competing in a prize drill. There are now over 1,200 deposi tors in the, Kaleigh Savings Bank. At least one-fourth are colored peo ple. Editor Lbge Harris, of the Signal, has been sick ever since his return from Chicago. 1 le was out last week for a day. lie has had a relapse ami is now extremely sick. The people of Goldsboro became highly indignant in regard to the statements in some newspapers that. they' had yellow fever in their town. Your correspondent took the precau tion, before sending anv news in re gard to the alleged case of fever near there, to get the facts from editor Robinson, of the Argus, and tried to stop the sensational rumors regard ing the disease. Railway passengers have '"done some wild talking and scattered all sorts of reports. But indignation meetings are, as a rule, pretty profitless. A statement by the physicians of a place is enough. But in times of sensation and excite ment the best thing is not always done. There ought to be no fear of the spread of the disease at Golds boro. Indeed it. ms1 quite doubtful whether young Wiggs actually has yellow fever. Few physicians in this State are at all familiar with it. He is said to be getting, on very nicely. lU was nosing around to see where lie could scare up some good and cheap cutters, as he is always on the lj)bkout for anyUhing in the way of good and cheap cutters. ! ItU'lunoml, Va. :Two or three r moderate sized lots of tillers from five to! eight cents were sold to-day,! and a few scattering packages of Wrappers were bought for home consumption. These to baccos are all being bought, however, at prices that cannot possibly give shippers satisfaction. I hope I will be. able soon to report an improve ment in prices.

Special Cbrresjmlenee to Thk Plant. Raleigh, X. C, Aug. 17, SS. The Farmers' State Alliance closed its session last evening. It did a great deal of work in two days It was 'deliberate and weighed every act. So your correspondent was as sured. It decided to create a State business agency, and elected Capt. W. A. Darden, of Greene county, State agent. The place will pay about $:2,000 a year, and certainly is a very responsible one. The State agent will purchase all articles de sired by the sub:alliances, it appears. He will get funds from the treasurer, Mr. W. G. Allen, of this county, and the trustee, Maj. William A. Graham, of Lincjpln county. The latter office was created yesterday and Maj. Gra ham was elected as its first incum bent. The plan is to buy for cash, Alex. Walker, Editor. D rim am, X. C, Aug. 17, 1S-SS. Good breaks to-day. Not much' change in prices. The buyers did not show the saniej animation we have noticed for the- last ten days. Five counties represented: Alamance county by Messrs. B. S. Benson, S. Apple, Jlj A. Apple. Caswell county by Mr. J.C. Powell. Durham county by Messrs. (J. W. Howainl and M. L. Parker.

Crop reports fiom the farmers outlook : Whether they are looking through colored glasses we will not say, but they certainly give unfa vorable reports. Hear what Mr. C Mitchell, a warehouseman says, who has just returned from Olive Hill, Roxboro, Cunninghams. Woodsdale, Holloways and Mt. Tirzuh town ships,and he makes the prospect very much like the farmers report. And Captain James Holeman is in town t6-day, and he savs lie can't see how his section can make! out to live, but winds up by saying he guessed they would pull through some how. Mr. James E. Kearney, of Kinney Tobacco -Co., was in town yester day and to-day, but we did not ascer tain his business, if any, but suppose that bright tobacco is deteriorating C.i: I). wrbte:j"What is the matter wj.th onr lolxiccii (not brights alone), that it is so fast losing that popu larity that it Once possessed with the chewing public?" Does Mr. T. en dorse this sweeping declaration ? He sejems to do sol in paying: "These conditions are the desire on the part of ft he farmer to raise more pounds oj' tobacco, and the gradual absorp tion of all virgin soil, after which old laud is pressed into service and stim ulated by the? use of commercial fertilizers." If Mr. T. had stopped riht here, his reason, given for de cline in thec(uality of very much of tlie product of North Carolina and jirginia during recent years grown on old land (or even unadapted fresh sil);, would have been palpable and j irreputable ;But when he attributes deterioration in the aggregate pro dp ct to "absorption of all virgin soil" iii these States and in support of such theory says: j'Tn Kentucky, particularly, and a portion of West Yjirginia, the virgin soil has not been exhausted to as great an extent as in Virginia andt North Carolina," his statement is not . supf ported by plain tacts ; for against such assertion we produce the following statistics, in cluding the State of Ohio, where White Burleyj originated, and where some of the finest of this type is still yearly produced. ' I Prof. B. E. Fen row, Chief of the Forestry Division Agricultural De partment, ghfs: the following as the forest area in the States hereinafter named : 1 j ', r .

See Agricultural report USSO, pAige M). j j ; The above jfigures disprove any lack of virgin soil for tobacco in the first two States ,ror depreciation ow ing to its previous absorption." What does Mr. Taylor say of C. iV: I)?s. prediction;?f "And it is just this reason that convinces us, unless we sod out ohPland and give them suf ficient rest to j reclaim their virgin condition fori our future tobacco lands, Burley-, that has gained such popularity anil is still encroaching and crowding lout its old competi tors of Virginia and North' Carolina in every market of the world on ac count of its vihiiii soil .qualities four italics) grown join the, tilue. rass of Kent uck if, will be the only filler tor chewing purposes in the next ten years.", Does jhe swallow and en dorse this too.?
