They were brought into the court house and took their seats in the prisoner' box. The crowd in the court housi was large and, as it was generally believed that the case would be tried on that day, a large crowd wa present, showing the intense inter est manifested in the case. Th.i prisoners were each neatly and tastefully attired and were cleanly shaven. They showed no emotion whatever but were as calm and, col lected as any porsoa in the court house. The council for both siden presented strong affidavits, the de fendnnts for and the State against removal. The judge decided the defendants should be allowed to have their trial where they could feel sure of getting justice, and therefore granted e removal.

The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Ex periment Station and State Weatb er Service for the week ending Fri day, October 2, 1891, sbowuo im provement in the condition of cot ton. The early patt of the week continued warm and dry ; the latter part has been cloudy and cooler, with occasional rains, which have been beneficial to small grains, po tatoes, etc., but have retarded open ing and picking of cotton, especially in the Eastery District, There have been some complaints that the hot weather of last month forced open immature bolls. The final condition of cotton must be placed as low as 73 per cent,, if not lower. Many farmers have finished curing tobac co. The yield may be considered on the average good in quality and color. Final condition 83 per cent Seeding of wheat is in progress this week. Note The next Bulletin issued will be the last for this season. All cofrespondents are requested to send one more report. H. B. Battle, Ph.D., Director. C. F. von Hebbmaxx, Assistant. Weather Bureau Letter From King; 8 Mountain. Ed. Courier Sure enough some of my faimer friends think, from my recent letter in your paper, that I am opposed to the Farmers' Alli ance. I now appeal to your readers and ask whether, in my last letter, ap pearing in your issue of the 18th ult., I antagonized the farmers or Alliance of this country, or impugn ed their motives as members of this great organization. It is true some of the Alliance leaders, Polk, Simpson and others were criticised, without going inro details, for the toue of their reoeii' speeches in which ihey havp Fho 0 alack ot tolernc towartls He DeujorViu parly and have ex pressed a desire and determination to form a third party. If their pol icy is not ' reckless and suicidal to the South, Democracy means noth ing and Republicanism should be commended. Now the question arises ! What1 or who is the Alliance t If it ia this great body of honest larmers banded together for their VVhen you need a good, safe lax bettermeut I have certainly said ative, ask your diuggist tor a box of nothint? atrainsf. l. nn ir.ntti; band, the Aiiiancn is. Polk, Simpsoi & Co., I will plead guilry of th. charge, pray the judgment of th- court and sing: "Rock of ages cleft lor me, Let me hide rnjself in thee." It is silly aud ridiculous to se? how the editor of the Progreisiic Farmer clings to the idea that, wbe i you criticise any ol the leaders yoa attack "every man and woman U- longiDg to the Alliance.'' iehoId, what manner of judge a this that at his speech the ver earth quakes and trembles! Tbe Pope of Rome hides his face i j shame, as he contemplates the po er displayed by the editor over i 1 Raliegb. If I owned a paper as Col. Polk. With thousands of patrons, wantin ; inoie, Would I make as he an Alliance cloak To catch the larmers by the score T Would I rant and rage to hold th fort ; And hoist to the heavens my ban ner high, Then put tbe men in my Alliance boat To launch on the deep, tbe shoal: so nigb. I would build my ship as he, per chance, And collect the fares, but stand or shore ; Then when my men to the music danced, Would say, hold boys, the sea doth roar. And then I'd board the Democratic fhip, That boat with rudder, helm and mast,J And float to the world a banner whipped 9 On the shores of time,. by tempest lashed. All tbe men then safe on board Would launch on the troubled sea ; Glide smoothly past gaping shoals And land in the haven you and roe Pardon this freak ; but if I had tbe power that some men seem to have, in the Alliance, I would sure ly rally my men to tho old tempest tost but gloriously surviving Dem ocratic ship, and make a record foi the old party that even Kings and Qkicens would envy. If this country is ever to enjoj financial relief, wholesome laws and an economical government it must come from the time honored Denn ocratic party. Who, in this fair Southern land, would think of disrupting the party that has been fighting monopolies, money powers,, and the Shilocks, of this country, against great odds, for the last thirty years T Why should the Alliauce try to capture the planks of the Democ ratic Platform and simply insert the sub-Treasury Plank and cry peo pie's Party J Surely the Democ I raiic Party is the people's party. On the eve of Democratic success and prosperity will the Alliance in tbe South and West form a third party, and defeat tbe accomplish ment of the ends and purposes for which they are contending 9 In conclusion will say that I am not opposed to the Farmers Alliance, or, its principals, generally, speak ing ; but will not hesitate to enter a protest against the formation of a third party, especially, in this southern clime. "Not that I love Ctesar less but Rome more.'' "But every one to bis own no tion" as the girl said as she kissed the cow. This, of course, was bon oring the cow, but no credit to tbe lassie. So, if Democratic Alliances men lick the hand of the third par ty, they pay it homage, but it is a reflection on the faith by which they have been mustered and reared to perfect political manhood. Let us all rally around the flag and board the old Democratic ship. Her hull is strong, wide and long; her mast is high and braced accord ingly; her rndder is safe and efH cient ; her captain and sailors for the tempestuous voyage of 1892 will look well to her moorings, and land us all safe 00 that victorious shore. With the kindest feeling for tbe Farmers' Alliance and wishing ali success through the Dmocriticj party, 1 temain Respect fulty. R. KingV Mouutain, N. C. Oct. 5 1891.
