OUIt CAXJJIDATES Before another issue of this pas per goes cut from the press the Primary electiou will be over, aud we take this opportunity of again urging the impoitance of giving ex pression to your choice of candid ates at tnat election. You have be fore you in this payer a list of wor thy men all of whom are honest, straightforward and intelligent cit izens, some of whom have already served our people with perfect sat isfactioo, and any one of whom would doubtless make a good o flier er. Choose ye whom you will have, You are left to your free and un trammeled choice. For our part we like them all, and would, if we could, give each our support. Bat this we cannot do, and so we leave the subject to the good judgment of our worthy readers.' XII E GOOu'or "TilETAIXI ANC, The best thing the Farmers' Alli ance lu North Carolina has done yet (and It has done much that will be valuable to the people of the State) is the interest it has shown in some counties in behalf of public education. We published yesterday ibe Resolutions passed by the Guil ford county Alliance in favor of doubling the tax for public schools: We publish to-day the action of the Alliance in Jackson county, asking an increased appropriation. State Chronicle. This is one directiou in which the Alliance has accomplished and will no doubt continue to accomplish great good. They are working up an interest iu education. There seems to be an educational influence pervading the organization every where: It is truly gratifying to note such a spirit among the farm ers of our country. It is one of the great needs of the farmers. Strong, intelligent, unprejudiced, thinking practical minds on the farms will sot only bring forth better products from the soil, but will make that worthy class better citizens In ev ery respect. THE SIJRPIXS GOXE. Mr. Lodge, the author of the force bill, estimates that it will coat $10,' 000,000 to carry it on, a pretty big price for the people of this country to pay for machinery to enable the Republican plotters in Congress to capture a few more seats. Aud this, too, at a time when the surplus has been wiped cleau out, and there U a deficit of not less .than 5100, ? 000,000, as a result of the wild, reckless and criminal legislation of this Congress. The 810,000,000 will be to the Republican conspirators a small consideration if in return they can carry districts enough to give them control of the next House. And then, again, the money will be spent in the family, for it will go into the pockets of Republican ap pointees and party tools, except such portions as may be filched and devoted to campaigu purposes by the bosses that run the machme. Wilmington Star. So the surplus is gone ! Audit has gone into the hands of a class of people in another section than ours. We nepd not hope to see it in the South. And et this is a government FOR THE people and BY THE people! Mockery! Down with this "Protective" tariff, pen sion, Republican fraud and depre dation ! GRAND EDUCATION AL RALLY. ADDRESSES TO BE MADE BY DISTINGUISHED EDUCA TORS. On to-day (Friday) everybody is invited to attend the educaiioual meeting to be held in the Court House. Maj. 9. M. Finger, State Super intendent will be there. Prof. E. A. Alderman the pop ular State Institute conductor will be there, And other worthy speakers. Let every man and woman and teacher and merchant and doctor and lawyer and officer and me chanic and farmer and everybody else, come oat and let us have a grand educational rally, such as has never been known in old Lincplm county 1 Lay on aicDulf!" Cor. of State Chroxicle. jl heartily thank you for your edi torial in the paper of the 10th de fending Senator Vance against the attack of the Progressive Farmer. That attack was unwise and un patriotic, and unworthy of the paper that represents the great ag- ricoltural masses of oar people. We never did find out who struck Billy Patterson, and that unknown individual has goo9 unpunished. Bat we know who struck Zeb Vance, the wisest and most elo quent and popular defender of the farming interest we have ever had, and somebody is going to get hurt. The people are with you, Mr. Edi tor. Lay on and spare not- We are nearly all Alliance men in this quar ter, but we are mad at the Progres sive Farmer, our organ, for this un called for assault on Vance. We feel humiliated. Such editorials as this and some of "Old Fogy's'' semi official utterances are damaging a great aud patriotic organization, and if followed will lead it to ruin. If tbe Alliance means politics in spirit of "Old Fogy" and this edi torial, then numbers of the level headed and conservative members of the order have been deceived. On what meat hath this our organ fed that he should dare to try to kill Zeb Vance? We are strong Al liance men, but we wish our organ to be level-headed and not damage the prospects of doing ourselves and the country good by rash utter i ances. I am only one of a Thousand. That in the Way to Talk. The Rural Home, Alliance paper published at Winston, says : Read Senator Vance's letter in this issue (in which he shows that he will do what he can for the farmers, but cannot support the Sub-Treasury bill-) Read it carefully. It is a rioble letter from the greatest of Ameri cm statesmen. God ble?s our "Zeb" and give him life and strength to carry out for his people his truth ful utterances. In war and in peace he has stood by his people and by tbe State and for tbem we believe he will be found battling for their rights as long as life lasts. Homespun Tarns. Several gentlemen were sitting front of the Central Hotel in Char lotte a few days ago when a cloud came up and it looked like rain. One of the gentleman turned to a prominent merchant and said: 4Is it going to rain ?" 'T don't know," said the mer chant."Ask Capt. Alexander and the Alliancemen toey're running everythmgthis year. State Chron ide. Sailing Through the AIi. Buffalo, N. Y., July 17. Prof. Campbell, of Brooklyn, demonstra ted yesterday afternoon that he can successfully navigate the clouds with bis air ship. The test was made from the par ade house grounds, only a few spec tators being present. At 4.15. he stepped into the ship, the ropes were let go, and the bal loon went straight cp until it reached an altitude of about 3,000 feet, when it moved iu a southerly direction. After sailing for a short time, it moved to the southeast, and turning aroond went northeast. At 6 o'clock. Prof. Campbell landed several miles from the starting point. He pronounced it a success ful trip. The propellers worked nicely, he had perfect control of the ship, and was entirely satisfied. Another ascension will be made on Saturday. Heply lo Mr. Coon. Me. Editor : I only ask a small space in your paper in replying to Ohas. L. Coon's exhaustive article iu last iasae Courier. If the gen. tleman will examine my article in Progressive Farmer, unbiased, I think be can see that I did not charge him with being opposed to the Alliance and only charged him with giving advice unasked and med dling where he had no business. I take the position that the Alliance has sense enough to see the political course it should take and should it at any time feel the need of outside advice, the Professor's may be sought. If as he says his former article neither was written to op pose or advise the members of the Alliance, will he please explain why, in the name of common sense, it was ever written. I do not charge the Prof, with false statements, but think if that article was not intend ed tor advice, it was the worst blunt der I ever knew a man of common sense to make. Will he tell us what all that gob ling about the Democratic Party and Farmers' Alliance meant- Ex planations are in order now. Now, Mr. Coou, as yon agree with me that war is not an Alliance principle it certainly is due those law abiding people of Gaston, and the Alliance of the whole U. S. that you publish to the world the name of that "fight ing" ''possibble candidate for the Legislature'' in Gasfon county. It seems to me it would be treason ou your part to withhold such valuable information from this lawful element in Gaston politics. Being a native of that county; I feel a great interest in its welfare, and do not want the pages of its fair history blotted by the election of this fighting Ailis ance candidate. Please make your self clear on this matter. I do really dislike hitting those little flee iu their innocent simplicii ty, but am compelled to do so some, times they are so meddlesome and will say, would not have hit this one so hard, had I known it would have caused him to raise such a contradictory howl. I thought every schoolboy knew that the Farmers' Alliance was non Partisan, and that it was composed of all political parties. This being true, it strikes me that the most ig norant "outsider' could readily see the "drappiug" would be within the party limits among the several Party Politicians, and am surprised that the Prof, cannot tell the difference between a Politician, and a State Officer or Congressman He truly says that "Alliance prin ciples are Democratic principles," and surely he is not so blinded as to be unable to see that many so called Democrats oppose these Democratic - Alliance principles ITow, if the gentleman will consider rightly, I think he can understand where the "antagonism will come in Iu our own State Senatorial Dis trict we have a prospective candid ate for State Senator who boasts of his Democracy, and is understood to bitterly oppose these same "Dem ocratic principles.'' If such proves to be the case, you will see a genu ine sample of antagonism right in your own county, and will "hear something drap." I wish to be dis tinctly understood when I say that the Alliance will only support such candidates as will endorse these Demecratic demands as set forth even though these unDemocratic Democrats may be nominated by a "Democratic'' conventioa j but the Alliance will oppose no candidate (although he may not be a member of the Farmers' Alliance) if be endorses the demands of this Democratic body. Now, Mr. Coon, I hope you may become enlightened and your mind may expand, and you may be able to grasp these mighty tiuths aud help elect true Democrats, and not impostors, who will be an honor, and not a disgrace, to the name they hear. But if you prefer to follow the croaking of every Politician simply because he may have tacked to him the name "Democrat" you may expect to be enguifed in the mighty avalanche thai is destined to crush that element of chronic politicians who think they know more than the "world beside." Yours truly, J. Will McIntosh. Lowe&ville, N. C, July 21, 1890. Another Victim to Ia Grippe. About 2 o'clock yesterday after noon, Miss Mattie Wilson, a young lady about 19 years ot age, took her life at her home in Steel Creek towDsbip, this county. At the time ot the sad occurrence she was at home with a sister, tbe other mem- bers of the family being at church. Miss Wilson had a severe attack of the grip, and bad never folly re covered, her mind having become unbalanced, though her physicians held out the hope that her mind would become clear as her body re covered. She seemed to be fully as well and cheerful yesterday morn as she had been for weeks, and no idea was entertained that such a thing as taking her life had entered her mind. Suddenly the sharp re port of a gun rang out upon the quiet Sabbath air, and her sister rushed itfto the room to find that she bad shot herself through the left breast with a rifle, killing hero self instantly. Charlotte News. A Letter from Carpenter', Carpenter's N. C, Gaston Co., July 18, 1890. Ed. Courier : The six weeks drought was brought to au end by a fine rain on the 13th ; the first rain since the 2nd day of June. Corn on uplands will average about half crop ; on bottom lands it Is fine. Cotton is small but is boom, ing since the rain. Some think it will be cut short by frost in the Fall. I hope it will not as there is great dependence on the cotton crop in this section. The health of this section is good at present. The Democratic primaries of Gas ton county will be held at their re spective places on Saturday the 26th instant. Hope every Alliance man who is a Democrat will attend and I cannot see why Alliance men should not be Democrats. Tbe Democratic principles oppose the protective tariff, sect'.onal and class legislation, and favor equal lights to all men ; special privileges io none, and if that is not conforming with the Alliance I do not under stand the Alliance. m. c. We wish to add that the writer of tbe above is an official of the Farmers' Alliance, in Gaston coun ty, and we are glad to hear such ex pressions from members of that organization Ed. A Word from Ironton. Ed. Courier : As the announces mnt of Capt. S- V. Goodon for the office of Sheriff is to be found else where in this issue of the COURIER, we beg leave to commend him to the voters of the county, as a man of high moral character and he is both worthy and competent to diss charge the duties of the office of Sheriff, with laurels for himself and justice to all. His past record as an officer of the law stands untarnished before the people as a monument of high character and trust. He has ever stood in readiness to serve his country iu time of peacw or iu time of trouble. His nam' i yet fresh iu the memory of hi com rades in the battle fields around Richmond, which displayed the character and strained the nerve of every humau soul, and we feel con. fident that Capt. Goodsou's com., rades will yet be with him in time of peace, as they know him to be a staunch Democrat of able and candid talents. In conclusion we beg to call the atteution of our sis ter towosbips to one facr, and that is, that fronton's past record for a county officer yet remains blank. It is useless to say that wo have not had an officer since the war, as we hope that is now fresh in your memory. Yet other townships say it is your own fault. Why don't you bring out your man and we will support him! We expected you would consider our claims and we have taken up your own proposition and brought out the man above named. Heretofore Ironton has never flinched from her doty, be, cause we had no man in the field, but has always been first to take her position under the stars and stripes of the Democratic banner. "Tuat fair bays5', and do as yui have been done by, and all your past ,-ins shail be forgiven. Remember the townhip piioiuries will be htld on the last day of this month.- Don't forget to turn out aud giv us a nice little majority for Capr.

Mr. Editor: Ve hfard tbe other day that the President was shot. We knew that something must ap pear to happen after M. L. C. fired his big gun. We are not yet anni hilated. The gentleman quite mis took our meaning, possibly it was intentional possibly not. Mr. M. L. C. may have convinced himself of what he was already cer tain by his theological tirade. To me his article seems distinguished by unintelligibility, incomprehen sibleness, ambiguity and obscurity. The incooceivableness of his unde cipherable meaning fills me with inexpressible amazemeut. 1 thought my meaning was clear enough but his mind, seeming to wish to find something unaccountable and stu pendously wicked in the simple production of my untutored pen, breaks forth in his paradoxical and nebulous misinterpretation of my poor pen. The misconstruction and misap plication of the manifestation of my sincere belief is au insolvable prob lem and an impenetrable mystery to me. I would ask every one who is inclined to agree with M. L, O. to read my article carefully and then if they can find anything out of the way in it I am willing to apologize. Yours for God and the Alliance, T. L. Trinity Dots, There wa9 preaching at Trinity on last Sunday. Mr. Julius Smith and wife, of South Carolina, paid bis father-in law a visit ou last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Anderson Sain, of Hickory, visited his father near Trinity last week. The people around Trinity are much alarmed at tbe burning of Capt. Peter Moll's mills. He had a circular saw mill, a shingle machine, two wheat mills, one grist mill. It is not known yet how it canght on fire; it ia thought that it was set by some one, as there had been two negroes and one white man shot at just the week before trying to steal chickens. There was a stable also burnt up. We were all sorry to hear of the burning. That piece of corn I There is not a still-house to be seen in it, but tbe corn is on the road between tbe church and the stilUhouse. We are glad we have now got the point; but ought not "something to be done with'' that still-house.
