(J., JUNE 26, 1891. Tlie Fourth Iarly. The question what will the Alii ance n with the new party ? la on the lips of tens of thousands of aui i jus people to day. Weil, it ought not to lake much wisdom to answer th.it queHtion. The new party has adop'.cd the Ailianca demands into its platform. Progressive Farmer. We regret to see the Progressive Turmtr make the fatal mistake of endorsing the Fourth Party. It certainly requires very little wisdom or comruou sense to know what ".o do about the new party: The Dem ocratic party which is the people's patty and the farmers, party in .orth Carolina has adopted all the Alliance demands. Is is good faith u desert the Democratic paity and o join another composed of meu viio havo been life long Kepublicans ;unl helped to hold the noses of ihe Southern farmers to the grind stone ;or twenty-five years, simply be Muse that new party endorses the Alliance demands Y Is it good faith to desert the par ry which has sent so many represen tatives to Congress on the Alliance principles, before these men have taken their seats as representatives'? If the Socialists endorse the Ah i i ance demands wili Col. Polk ad vise the farmers to support their party i It the anarchists endorse the; Alliance demands will Col. Polk iul isti the farmers to support a programme of confiscation and dy namite simply because the Ocala de mands are tacked on to the Kite ? The Democratic party, is the party tor the Alliance to sapport because .:t is identical with the Alliance principles in every essential and be cause iu addition to the Alliance principles it contains nothing an tagonisiic, uothiug destructive ot the welfaie of the country. Bat the new party in addition to the Alii unco Demands advocates measures whi-li no farmer iu this bright Southern laud world tolorate a ino niuut. For instance: Ooo of the resolutions passed at the convention was reccommeuding Womanjs flights to the states. That is not Democratic nor Alliance doc nine and the south don't waut auy Woman's lights just now. Wo don't want to see all the ne gro women audfta tew white women at the polls in this part ot the globe. Auotner resolution recommend ed class legislation for the dear Uu ion soldier. During the war paper money depreciated as compared to gold. The People's party propose to go back and calculate how much the dear Union soldier was cheated !. paying him paper instead of old money. Every citizeu in the l'n ted States who took paper mon ey timing the war suffered alike, Imt the new party does not propose to uiinburse anybody but the dear Union soldier. The Republican party has beeu legislating for the dear Union sol dier lor a quarter of a century until the p.'iis.ou roll amounts td 109 011(1,000 annually which is largely p ml by the people ot the South. Another resolutiou declares that eight hours shall constitute a day's woik lor all laborers in the United St ites, I his is one ot the doctrines of the Knights of Labor. To bonow a figure from Joe Cald well, the farmer who seeks any po litical iclief in this movement may us well lock lor a bag of gold at the end of the rainbow." The Allis ance has the Democratic morsel iu its mouth and if, seeing in the water ot the Fourth Party, reflection of its lood, mistakes the shadow for the substauce, and lets Democracy drop to grab for the shadow, the re .suit will be a splash in the water, with loss of everything. "When the Western farmers have tried the Fourth Party a few years they will find themselves atanded it the quag mires of socialism. Such a party as was launched at Cincinnati can have no other destination. As for the farmers of the South we know they have too much patriotism and com mon sense. Mecklenburg Times. Conversation with Captain Alexander. The Chronicle had a brief but pleas ant conversation with Capt. Alexa ander yesterday about politics. Iu reply to what he thought ot the prospects of the new party in North Caroliua, be said he heard much about it, but was not able to locate it as taking shape anywhere iu the State. lie felt sure that it would accomplish nothing in North Carolina. He said the comments of certain papers were calculated to irritate Alliaucemeu. Will the 52od Cougress settle the silver question f The House will pass a free coinage bill before Christmas and it will become a law, if the Republicans ia the Senate do not amend by striking out the free coinage ot silver of foreign coun tries. So the silver question is like ly to figure in the next campaign. The Captain is of the opinion that if Mr. Cleveland is nominated he cannot possibly carry the States ot Virginia, North Carolina and Geor gia, and may possibly loan two oth other Southern States. He think Hill is more available because h has the gift of riding astride of all questions and keeping the people in ignorance as to where he is. The The West has developed no Demos crat of sufficient ability for the race, Who is in the lead for speaker of the House ? Mr. Springer, Crisp would be chosen, but for the clamor that a Northern man should be speaker to strengthen the Democ racy. Mills is over estimated. He is not a very able man. Ciisp is the ablest on the Democratic side. Democrats made a mistake in their conduct towards Heed at the adi journment of Congress. They will have to adopt some such coarse as his to carry on busiuess, I fear the Republicans have got us in Ohio. Campbell has a strong element if bis own party arrayed against him. All the German ele ment will fight him on account of his position on temperance. Most of the manufacturers in North Car. olina are protectionists. The best protection speech I have heard in a time was from a prominent manu facturer and Democrat. These men are Democrats, purely from force of circumstances. Ic is so with this class all over the South. Mr. Cade's Resignation. Raleigh, Jane 20. It now turns oat that the reason why Rev, Bay lus Cade resigned the position as editor of Col. Polk's Alliance organ, tne Progressive Farmer, was that he would not advocate the sub-tieasn-ry bill. Tnis is revealed by his edi torial farewell to-day, in which he sys: "After his careful and pa tient study of tho substreasnry bill J am convinced that the enactment mto a law would be disastrous to the country, and especially so to the agricultural interests. Holding this view i cannot write oue word in favor of that bill. The dominant sentiment ot the Alliance upon this measure is iu irreconcilable conflict with my views and the ouly manly and houorable course left for me is to retire and let tome other editor take charge whose views are in har mony with those of the friends of the sub-Trea.nry bill. Business Manager Denmark, of the Progressive Farmer stated today that Major Duffy would uot take charge until July 2 1st. Wilmington Messenger. Pruning: and Trliiiniing. Trimming is uot so much a matter of season an of promptness. If it is done rightly no large limb need ev er be taken from a tree. Suckers should be kept off. Three or tour times a year at least cut out useless shoots aud buds. Preserve all the force of the tree in valuable limbs. The policy in trimming is, first to shape the tree. This should uot be doue artificially. Oue must first know what sort of tree he is to cut before he should dare to bias the form. Second, the object should be to open the head and admit no crowding ot branches or hiding pla ces for insects untouched by sun aud air. The tree top should be well ventilated. To do this leavs the last bud on each twig of a young tree pointing in the direction you wish the limb to grow. These re marks apply to all kinds of fruit trees, Fruit trees, as a rule, should be headed low, especially those that grow large and heavy fruit. I am especially careful to obtain pear tiees that are limbed not more than three or four feet from the ground. Rural New Yorker. Hon u 1 Doctrine. The following extracts from the platform of the Minnesota Alliance show how the brethren stand there upon two momentous questions : "1. Wo demand that the war tars ill', which' has too long survived the object ot its creation, shall be redi. eally revised, giving very material reductions in the necessaries of life and placing new material on the free list, to the end that we may compete with the world for a mar ket, and that such luxuries aa whis key and tobacco shall in no manner be relieved from internal taxation till the high protection tariff has been wholly divested of its extor tions, and we especially denounce the McKioley bill as the crowning infamy of protection. 2. We denounce the force bill now pending in Congress as a dangerous and revolutionary measure, devised for partisan purposes. It will open the wounds of the war and retard the happy day of regeneration and peace, aud we hold that one of the grandest aims of the Alliauce is the restoration ot fraternal feeling and true concord to the people of the republic." An uiptj' Treasury, American citizen may now well pause in the rush ot life aud ask 'Whither are we tending V- The great American Union of free aud independent Sovereignties has been so rich, so prosperous that its re sources seemed inexaustible. The people eo submissively wore the yoke ot the politicians aud bent their wills like a pliant Ooier to the tricks and extravagances of dema gogues and political charlatans, that there was no load too great for them to bear, and no demands upon them that they would not cheerfully grant. So argued the Radical iu office, the tool of the Monopolist. But all this was wrong. The demagogue was mistakeu once in his calculations. The great surplus left by a Democratic Admisis' ration but a little over two years ago is "gone glimmering, a school-boy's tale, the wonder of an hour.7' The National Treasury is empty. The taxes have been run up. at one dash from 47.10 per cent, to 60 per cent, on uearly every commodity of life. The people are at last kicking, and kicking so high that some of them are in danger of- turning a complete summersault. The news from Washington is that the Billion-DollaroOongress has lit erally bankrupted the United States Government, and that the expends tures for June thus far are iu excess of receipts $8,188,864. This the Democrats foresaw and foretold, bnt the patent and elastic liars all in chorus swork it would not be. Now that the robbory is complete and the bottom is knocked oat of the Treasury, the President of the Republican party and his happy family are to hold a solemn pow wow over the bankruptcy, and poss sibly to pass a resolution that the shower is slight and will soon be over. : It is this Benjamine Harrison, the headcentre of s 1 i the wrongs and crimes involved in the waste, the national bankrupts.? and the pen sion steal, who is seeking indorse ment of his party iu a second nomi nation, aud who wishes to ask the American people once more to put him in position to tinit-h the job of ruin degredation and scandal. If the Democrats can not whip out tne Hairison gang of mcapa. bles and frauds then they deserve to be defeated for all time. They can defeat the pluuderers of the people if the people have intelli gence enough to understand their best and truest interests. Only defeat can come to the grand principle aud reform by di vision in it oy a withdrawal of such numbers as shall give success to the old entrenched enemy of the coontry, and, consequently, of the farmers. An united party will bring victo ry to the Democratic standard in 1892. A devided paity in 1892, sinply means four more years of force bill and usurpations and high taxes, ithat grind and impoverish, and waste and peculation and bankrupt' cy. Ia the mean time Harrison and his feet will stare each other in the face and talk over the best plan to boozle the country and make it be lieve that all is weP. But there is an empty treasury and there are great giindiug taxes, aud there is wide-spread discon tent. The only real safety lies for all the people who are sick and tired of Radical misrule and abuse and in competency to rally as one man around the banner of the Democrat ic party the party of the people and by the people and for the peo ple. Wilmington Messenger. JEx-CJovernor Held Head. Reidsville, N. C. ,June 19. Exf-Goveruor David H. Reid died this morning at his home in this place. David Settle Reid was born on April 19tb, 1813, in Rockingham couutv, studied law and was ad iu it ted to practice iu 1843. In 1834 be was eltcied Senator fiOra Rockingham and was re-elect-ed continuously until 1840. From 1843 to '47 he served in the Cougress of the United States with great acceptability to his constitu ents. In 1848, without his knowledge, he was nominated for Governor and au defeated by a small majority. In 1850, when he had positively declined, he was again nominated and was elected, after a brilliant canvass, aa the first N Democratic Governor of the State. He was an advocate of free suff rage and finally triumphed iu his doctrine. For some time past he has lived in retirement aud has not come out among the people to any extent. - -I. The Washington statesmen are becoming flustered over the financial situation, aud are going to have a consultation next Friday to see what hey can do about it. The trouble with Cleveland's administration was to prevent the surplus from growing bigger. The trouble with Harrisou'e administration is to prevent the de- ticit from growing bigger. Wil. Star. We admire the clever dexterity with which the talented Republican organ grinders manipulate the Am erican language Tney can't under stand why the Democrats who a couple years ago were troubled over the growing surplus iu the treasury should now be growling because the surplus which gave them so much concern "has been distributed and is now in the bands of the people-" If Cleveland had just thought of getting some accomplished and hus tling burglars to bore into the treas ury and '-distribute the surplus' what an immense amount of worry he might have saved these poor, un sophisticated Democrats. WiUStar. Another Murder. Rockingham, N. C, June 15. On Saturday night Albert Smith, a tenant on the plantation of Henry Fail ley, about two miles north of Laurinburg, was brutally murdered. His head showed that he had been struck with some heavy, blunt in strument. There were evidences showing that he did uot die instant ly, bat had clawed up the ground ffith his hands. He had just left the house of Jno Kelley, who bad recently been jailed in Lumberton and acquitted of the murder of Si ineou Couoly. The victim was a respectable white man and leaves a wife and two childien. When fouud, Smith had an open knife under him and abottleof whis key in his pocket. His skull was broken with a piece ot a fence rail, which was fouud near him He was comparatively a stranger in these parts, having come from one of the western counties. Charlie Allen, colored, is now iu the Iockup here, on suspicion of being the murderer. Grassy Cotton, Everybody knows what an affini ty grass has for cotton, but proba bly very few have ever witnessed such a spectacle as was presented on the cotton platform of Messrs. Riddle & Carroll last week. It was a large bale of cotton almost cover, ed with a luxuriant growth of grass, which foand root iu the lint. On investigation it was discovered that the grass roots penetrated almost to the centre of the bale, and nearly half of the cotton had to be torn away before they could be destroy ed. The theory is that the grass seeds were in the cotton, add that the long spell of wet weather has caused them to sprout. The bale will have to be repacked before it can be shipped . Yorkville Enxuirer. Subscribe for the Cocbisb Every Farmer in North Carolina should ask himsilf these questions. Has there ever been a convention of the Democratic paity that did rot fully recognise the rights ot the whole people f Was there ever such a couventiou that did not heartily aud promptly respond to the demands of agriculture ? Can a Democratic platform be found that contains a provision directly or indirectly hostile to the interest f our people t Has not the Demos ratio party again and again sub stantially demanded the reforms now demanded by the Alliance, and has uot these reforms been at all times opposed by the Republican party. Did not the Republican party demonetize silver, which ia one of the causes of the embarrass ment of the people ? Did not the Republican party pass the high tariff law which lowers the ( rice 1 f what the farmer makes 1 And let the farmer bear iu mind that the Democratic party ia iu favor of the free coinage of silver, a low tariff, and, substantially, all be wishes to accomplish by legislation. Then where is the necessity lor a third party. Raleiph Observer.

While there, I became so re duced in strength that I could not speak and was compelled to write everything I wanted to say. I was theu having some 25 or M stools per day. The doctors ordered a medi cine that I was satisfied would be of no benefit to me. I did not take It, but per suaded -Biy nurse to get me some ot Dr. Ayer's lUls. About two o'clock in the after noon I took six of these pills, and by mid night began to feel better. Iu the morning the doctors came again, and after deciding that my symptoms were more favorable, gave me a different medlciue, which I did not use, but took four more of the pills instead. The next day the doctors came to see me, and thought I was doing nicely, (and so did I). I theu took one pill a day for a week. At the end of that time, I considered myself cured and that Ayer's Tills had saved my life. I was then weak, but had no return of the. disease, aud gained in strength as fast as could be expected."
