Judge Bykum's charge to the grand jury last Monday was able, clear, and full of practical com mon sense. He gives forth no un certain sound and he has already made himself a terror to law breakers in this county. Yk hear the expression froni every direction of the general sat isfaction on the part of Alliance aue non Alliance Democrats in the result of the recent State Con vention. Certain it is that the Farmers'' Alliance of North Caro lina cannot at ford to and will not go back on the ticket that has Elias Carr at the head of it. We predict a great victory for the State Democratic ticket next No vember. However Mum we may l?e d'nVred with Maj. Graham upon questions ot political economy aud however much we may have disap. proved of his political course during the past campaign, w e nevertheless take great pleasure in noting the fact that te has expressed his de light with the result of the State Convention aud i especially pleas ed with the nomination of Eliaa Car; aud more thau that, he has signified his determination to aid in vnoaintf a big majority for the Democratic party ot North Carobua iu the coining electiou. We hope that Maj. Graham will lfe-concider bis decision as to organizing Demo cratic club:. Itoiitou organized a larye clot) some time ao and we leel confident that a lousing einb could be organized by Maj. Graham in his township. Democrats must strike while the iron is hot. The people canuot afford to treat the is saes now before us with indifference. If Democrats are going to treat the questions that confront us with iu difference and allow the enemy to cuu over them "rough shod" they ought to suffer defeat. However, as to the Third party business, it may be well to heed the suggestion made to us recently by an Alliance man. lie saui the uest pian is io "let them (Third partyites) go their own way and they w ill toon butt their own brains out Mr, ('. L. Wilson, County Alli ance Lecturer, has issued notice to the secretaries of each snhalliance in the county that there will be an open meeting of the friends of the Third party at Liucolnton on SatN urday, June 4tb. Mr. Wilson is en deavoring to get up a Third party boom. It will be remembered that Mr. Wilson was take:: up by the Democratic party of Lincoln county in the last campaign and made our representative in the last Legisla ture. It in remembered also that before his term of office expired he turned his back upon the party that conferred this high honor upon him and is now lending his aid in the effort to break the "solid South''! Perhaps one of the most fitting seeches of acceptance ever made was that of Elias Carr immediate ly niter his nomination last Wed nesday niiiht, when he said there were two things which he knew how to do : "To superintend a farm and to vote the Democratic ticket." A IIAMDFUL OF THIRD PARTY men and Uepublicans met a! Triangle on the 28th of Aprh and formed themselves into t. body of "resolnters." We are in formed by an Allianceman of that commuuity that ol those paiticipat ing about hall were Republicans and the other half were "wild goats," or leertei9 of Democratic ranks. Wt notice a long, t ushiug, silly account of the meetiug in last week's Hick r.v Mercury with request that the Progressive Farmer aud the Lincoln COURIER copy. It was very con--iderate of them to send the article ;irout)d by way of Hickory Mercury in order to get it in the paper o their own county. We notice that t he chairman of the meetiug as Mr. S. C. Little, delegate to the Butler conference, and Mr. LeKoj Long, a full fledged Repablican, was the secretary. Neither of these gen lemen regard the Courier as wor thy of their patronage, if we may judge from the fact that they are not subscribers. They have not. herefore. any claims upon our pace, Nevertheless we will spare hem room lor the resolutions. Here ihey are : Resolved 1. That this body adopt the St. Louis platform, and stand by the principles set forth therein un til death. 2 That we go into neither the Republican nor Democratic conven lions. 3. That a mee'iug of all the friends ot the Peoples' movement in Catawba Springs township be called to convene at the voting precinct at Triangle on May 7th, at i! o'clock p. m., and that the Secietary wit'i the county Lecturer be present. 4. That the proceedings ot this meeting be sent to the Hickory Mercury for publication with request that the Progressive Farmer and the Lincoln Courier copy. We have not yet heard from the meeting on May the 7lh. We sup pose it will take the same route as the other proceedings. However, our space is not yawning for Third party nonsense, if our friends will excuse a mild expression. THE STATE TICKET. The Party s Fortunes Placed In Worthy Uumls, State Chronicle. Ii gives the Chronicle special pleasure to present to-day sketches of ttie nominees on the State ticket. Our Next GScive riior- Suddeu emergencies or perplex ing positions always seem to have a happv contingency awaiting their solution ; and in the election ot Eli as Carr aa the democratic candidate for Governor, lortuue was never more piopitious than when she hlew axide with propitious gales, that for a time had hung threateningly in the sky. Good men aud strong men had been named ; each aud all of them seemed to be snstaiued by a I the democrats of strength and popular favor; yet in the animation of the antagonism of opposing clarais, it became evident beyond a peradveuture, that whoever might attain the henors of a majority of tiie couveution, was sure, iu the canvass that was to follow, to leel the slings of unappeased majority, therefore wisdom taught the neces sity of seeking one, modestly with' holding all claims or pretention to the high rewards of the usual mag niheeut democratic majority, had up to the supreme moment, not been named in connection with the office of governor. Yet, wbeu the name of Elias Carr was presented as the solver of difficulty, the surprise was not. that he was presented, bat that it had not been done before. For there was present not only an alli anceman, bat i true and tried dems ocrat; not only a farmer, but a practical business man : not only the bolder of his own plow and the manager ot his own farm, but a man of education and culture, fitted to lead in practical matters under guidance of native common sense, bat with equal power and skill to grace tho halh of the most polished assemblies. Never was a more speedy disposal of the embarrass meuts, which at the opening of the convention seemed to darken de liberation and menace resalts. Tbt solution came as naturally, as sirups Iv, as unexpectedly as that made by Columbus to the courtiers, who presented a simple, yet perplexing problem. The day spring of good fortone at once revealed itself, and the convention went forth with the certain confidence that their deci sion was the happiest that could possibly have been reached. But who is Elias Carr ? What has called him from bis retirement and drawn him into the full blaze ol popular scrutiny, to be subjected tc popular criticism, and to be reward j ed with popular approval ? Up tc 1 the present moment living in the quiet of rural retirement, known tc his countrymen as a trasted guid i iu county affairs, drawn out inci dentally to take part on the widei arena of agricultural State delibera tion, at once taking rank by tli demonstration of bis strong sensi aud his safe and thorough informa tion, until by the very force of mer it, modest, yet uumistakable, he wa established iu a briet period, as loider ju council, and also as tb proper head of that new, powerfu' and patriotic body, known as the farmer's alliance, a head firm, pru dent,conservative, and always hold' ing as well bis fealty to his old par tyas to the organization he was j called both to lead and to serve, j Mr. Carr was born at Brace Bridge j farm, in the village of "Old Sparta," and was the son of James Carr. He is now about fifty-one years of age tie has a large and influential fam ily connection, whose careers are associated with much of the most honorable history of North CaroM- j na. lie was prepared for entrance into the University of North Caro lina at the Bingham school in O -ange county. He pursued his course at Chapel Hill for some time, but eventually finished his education a the University of Virginia. That education he applied to the practi cal purposes of agriculture so as to become regarded as one of the best and most successful farmers in the State, and lived a farmer, with sim plo d3Votion to distinction, until called forth to lead his fellow agri culturists iu their loftier aspirations after that justice of equal recogni tion so long denied them. He has been for fifteen vears a member of the board of county commissioners of Edgecome county, and for some time a member of the board of managers of the A. and M. College, and is also a member of the World's Fair commission. Mr. Carr married iu 1859 Miss Eleanor, daughter of Mr. William liearneyt of Shocca Spriug. Ho will be known now as he deserves to be. The people will be true to so wor thy a leader. For Xiciiteiiaiit-oioveriior. Rulus A. Doughton, the nominee for lieuteuanthgovernor, was born in Alleghany countv .January 10. """J culu,,us iue uaruauips or J J 'film .1... i . r 1850. Ho was raised on the farm, his father being a successful and influential farmer. Iu 1SS0 he took an optional course at the State Uni versity, and the samo year obtaiued license to practice law. The follow ing year he was elected superinten dent of the public schools of Alle ghany county and later became chairman of the county board ot education. In 18S6 he was elected to the lower house of the legisla ture and became a popular aud use ful member. lie held position on the judiciary committee and on other committees. In 188$ he was renominated by acclamation and elected without opposition to the house, serving during the se:isiou of 1889 as chairman of the committee on edocation aud on other impor tant committees. In 1890 he was again sent to the house and again was the honor paid him of a eomi nation by acclamation aud on elec tion Hpeaker at the session of 1891 and made an admirable presiding officer, patieut, attentive, painstak ing, and always the courteous and kindly gentleman. He is ope of the yoongest men ever elected speaker in North rwiina rr ; V in fcorth Carolina. He is a con. eervative yet progressive and bia in. terest in the great cause of public education, that at the university and the agricultural and mechanical college as well as in tho common schools, is deep and abiding. Oelnvlusi Coke Received the distinguished honor of being nominated to the office of Secretary of State by acclamation. The convention entertained no ether thought or purpose, it came as the spontaneous expression ot every man in the convention. It coald not have been otherwise, for his trumpet voice has so often sounded in the cause of his party and his country, that its reverberations ring nnweakened in potency in the ears of those he has long- led or arged to victory. When the lam ented Sannders passed away, it was eminently proper that the distius gaished gentlemen who then occn pied the executive chair should call to fill the vacancy one he had known long and well, the wisdom of whose counsel he had profited by, the val ue of whose services he had recog nized, the fulluess of whose acquirements he had learned to value. As secretary of State Capt. Coke as he is best and most widely known thionwh the militan career in the. late war proved at once his ability to fill tb office made so distinguished by hi pre iecessor. There could have been no question as to the propriety ol his retentiou in the office he so briefly filled. To his houor, and to the honor of those entrusted with the power and duty of nomination, not a voice was raised in the con vention or out of it to impede his triumphal record as to the choice ty the convention by acclamation ; and the people, with like uuanimity. will ratify the choice. Mr- Fiirman for Auditor. The convention did a wise and graceful tuiog irj the nomination o Mr. Furman for auditora wi,e thitlg iu that it v&3 a dstinct tWQgm nilion of ,he service8 of the demo nraua nf n,.unn graceful thing in that it endorsed and promoted a gentleman distin guished in an unusual degree by long, falhifgl aud unselfish devotion to the democrats party. Th ere are i but few men in the State of more ; personal popularity than Mr. Fur ! man. In the western part of the State his nomination will be pecu liarly gratifying. For nearly a quarter of a century he ha given his voice aud pen to the support of every man and measure calculated to promote the developmedt of that region. Mis public spirit was not bounded by c untry or sectional hues but extended to every locality aud interest iu the State; and he is happy in having lived loug enough to see his fellow citizens in the en joyment of a prosperity to which he has so effectually contributed, and to receive that reward which a gen erous people will always bestow upon laithful and deserving ser vants, He is espec ally qualified by his natural talents and familiar ly wiiii our Srate policy for the du ties of the office to which he has been nomi ated, Robert M. Furman was born at Louiaburg iu 1846, and is therefore now 46 years old. He was educated in the. homo schools of his native town. He, early in life, was em ployed in business at Norfolk, Va., and at the universal call to arms, enterred the army. He was a lieu tenant in the Junior Reserves, Wheu little more thau 17 years of age, and in the latter years ot tho war when service meant action, did severe laborious, brave and dautrer ynjo luaicu, me privations ol tue camp and the peri's of the battle fields. His tastes led him to journ alism, and he established a demo cratic paper at Louisburg. He came to Raleigh in 1870, aud was engaged for two years as reporter for the Uabigh Sentinal, acquiring expem euce, enlarging his political inform ation, and muturiug his juJgmeut. In 1872, he became the owner of the Asht yille Citizen and thus to the Citizen wan dua the power gained for the democratic party in Western North Carolina, and the knowledge impressed upou the whole party of the weight aud value of that sec tion. In 1876 he was elected sec retary of the Senate. fiis first term determined his value to that body ; aud never after has be bten troubled by the anxieties of re rlt ct.iou. His elec.ion as his own successor has always been a fore youe conclusion, nn incomparable officer, a courteous gentleman, a well mformed statesman, au adroit politician, the Senate hasalwajsin advance, recognized his servicee as indispensable. He is uow che edi tor of the Democrat, the weekly p iper he publishe s at Asheyille. Slate Treasurer Jlaln. Douald V. Bain, the nomiuee for State Treasurer, is a native ot RaU eigh, where ho has always resided. ,r ,h 'u' aDd eQ tereU ,he 6ervl of tbe Slate jut before the late war, as a clerk in tbe office of the comptroller, and In 1805 IT , i : i n , . - became chief clerk of the treasury department, by appointment ot the Hon. Jonathan Worth, then provis ional treasurer. He received the nomination tor State treasurer at the Democratic conventions of 1881 and JSS, the latter time by acclam ation aud without opposition. He is now closiug his second term. Mr. Bain has perhaps as large a per sonal and political acquaintance in the State as any other man in it and he ought to be proud of snch a rec- ord as he has always had for integ rity and faithfulness to his State and its people. His successful ad ministration of the affairs of the treasury has been that of the tbor. ougb and thoughtful business man. Besides his positiou as State treas urer, he has been since February, 1S67, the grand secretary of the grand lodgo of Masons of North Carolina. Tlie great length of his stay in that position of honor and trust is another proof of the high place he holds in public regard. He is also prominent in the State and general councils of bis church, the Methodist Episcopal. Since 1883 he has been secretary ot the North Carolina aunoal conference, and has twioe, in 1886 and 1890, been one of ita representatives at the great meetings of the general con ference. He is also a member ot that other powerful benevolent or der, the Odd Fellows. In the vari ous intricate duties connected with the office of State treasurer, Mr. Bain's long and thorough knowl edge of public at! airs has proved of special value, enabling him to do many things which have inured to the State's advantage. The high compliment which the late conven tion paid him, of a nomination by acclamrtion and that for his third term, was fully deserved. Jno. C. Scarborough, Nomiuated at the recent Democratic convention as a candidate for the office af superintendent of public in struction, was born in Wake couu- ty, September 22, 1841, aud is there fore in his fifty -first year. He tered in his twentieth year, when ho had just finished his preparations to enter college, the company so hon orably known as the Ualeigh Rifles, assigned to the Fouitb afterwards the Fourteenth regiment of North Carolina troops cting as sergeant of bia company. Afterwards, at his own request, he was transferred to Co. I, 1st regimeut, N. C. State troops, Col. Montford Stokes com manding, and remained in that com mand until the close of the war. Ho had hia full share of all the varieties ot service, of danger, of .glory, of privation, of imprisonment, and the number of battles in which he was eugaged, some of them the heaviebt during the war, proves both his fi delity to his cause aud his devotion and courage as a soldier. Towards the close of the war he was badly wounded at Cedar Fork and seut home on furlough. Recovering, he returned to his command at Peters burg and was engaged in the bat tles and movements around Peters burg and at Danville and in tt e closing tragedy at Appamattox. When the war closed he returned htme and aided his father in mak ing a crop for tho support of his family. But his determination to obtain a collegiate education was fixed, and in January . he entered Wake Forest Colleen, where he graduated in June, 1869. In the following fall he was made a tutor in the same college, holding his po sitiou 1 r two ears. In Angut 1871, he establ shed an academy at S Vina, Jwbustnrj county, and con ducted it o ccesstaily as to drajv marked attention to him as one iu every way suitable to fill the super lutendeiicv of the puM-e instruction, and in 1876 he wis el.oted to ih,it Wilt cure You, is a true statement of the action of AVER'S Sarsaparilla, when taken for diseases originating in impure blood ; but. while this assertion is true of AYEIt'S Sarsaparilla, as thousands can attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to other preparations, which unprincipled dealers will recommend, and try to im pose upon you, as "just as pood a Ayei 's." Take Ayer' Sarsaparilla and Ayer's only, if you need a blood-purifier and would be benefited permanently. This medicine, for nearly fifty years, lias enjoyed a reputation, and made a record for cures, that has never been equaled by pthejr preparations.
