DOEK POPULISM FOS-
For some time Democratic pa
pers in North Carolina have charg
ed that Populism tended to anar
chy. This cliarge has been de
nied quite vigorously by Populist
editors. These editors have
claimed for their principles that
they were founded on justice and
. right and some advocates of
Populism have even claimed that
their principles were Jeffersonian
; Democracy, and that all the peo
ple of this country had to do in
order to banish want and oppres
sion was to adopt their, doctrine-
and peace and happiness would
follow. We have always believed

Washington: . 4
Oakdale, Aug. 19 That there
is a regular organization tjamong
the farmers for the purpose of re
sisting, with arms if necessary, al
leged unjust action by the courts
is thoroughly proved by tho occur
rence of Friday night.- Several
Veeks ago the Spokesman-Review
correspondent told of such an or
BanUohnn.fnr. tho DurDose of re
sisting the appointment of re
ceivers for crops on mortgaged
farms. The information then
gained came from a rnember,of
the Silver Federation, and subse
quent events have proved the
truth of the statement then pub
lished. Whether or not this or
ganization in ihe Silver Federa
tion can only be surmised, but the
fact that members in. extreme
parts of the county are kept postec
of its action- in other -parts anc.
thai Jthey know of meetings anc
oction taken before it ever reaches
the newspapers shows the perfec
tion of the organization. A mem
ber told the correspondent of. the
meeting" to be held in Moscow ana
exactly what action would b
taken 'several days before the
t ineeting was held. This shows th(
u-ork to be that of an organizatioi.

action in appointing receivers hs
Would j undoubtedly : have been
called upon by a committee. When
afiked what the "committee" would
have done, the informant only
smiled significantly and said that
Piper showed wisdom by reemd
ing his action. This man gave a
far more minute account of the
meeting than was published in any
paper and . showed that, although
he lived nearly 60 miles from Mos
cow, and in another state, he knew
exactly what was being done by
the organ izaticn there.
A short time ago a mortgage was
foreclosed on a farm noar Cotton,
in this county, and four men were
sent out from, town to guard the
crop. After dark nearly i00 men
"armed with Winchesters and shot
guns, visited the farm and ordered
the guards to leaver which thev
did, two of them reaching town
about midnight, ana4 the other twd
at daylight the next- morning.
Since then no attempt has been

.AJVI THE SECU
LAR PRESS.
Some days ago we lead that the
above named gentleman, who is
well known in western North Car
olina., has said that the secular
press was the most conscienceless
thing in the wurld and that in the
future the church would have its
hardest fights against it.
We do not know what course the
Doctor would recommend that the
church pursue 'in its war on the
press, but we would respectfully
iuform him, and others who may
be of his opinion, that the Consti
tutibn bf the United States says
ttiat tho. right of free speech shall
never be abridged. As lqng as free
.speech is not criminal speech, an
oody can use his tongue as he
cnuosea. dui we lutenaea io sav
It cannot be denied that some
Democrats would like to see a
fusion of Populists and Democrats
It is the old idea over again. In
1890 we heard Democrats telling
Alliancenien that the "Ocala De
mands" were Democratic. In
139-1 we reaped the fruit of such a
surrender of principles. It pays
to be honest at all times.
There ought to be an historical
society at Lincolnton to record
and preserve trie history of old
Lincoln County. This paper in
tends to agitate this matter until
it gets such an organization, com
posed, of members from Lincoln,
Gaston and Catawba counties..
Let the press of these counties
create an interest in this matter.
Formerly the man who said
supply and demand had nothing
to do with the price of cotton and
corn, and wheat was considered a
lunatic and was sent to the asy
lum for treatment. Now, North
Carolina sends such men to Wash
ngton to make laws for her.

How do you Fusionists of Lin

it shows poor judgment in aoybody
to? bounce on a newspaper editor
simply because he is au editor. So
far as our experience goes, we4ire
not too moaest to say that we know
some, reasonably decent people ,

If Dr. Atkins will put more re

fnends,he will have no accaeion to

There are bad papers and . good
papers. There are even good
church papers and bad church
papers, and why not good and bad
secular papers ? We knew a man
who said a certain editor had no
soul because the editor would not
consent to. smother his conscience.
And very often this is. tne case.
j We havH read more Christianity in
some secular papers, in ouropin
ion, than we have heard from a
groat iiiany pulpits, but we do not
feel, for that reason, called upon to
make a crusade against the church.
