Allen, Judge and Solicitor of the Sixth dis'rict at Kinston on Wednesday, when they were renominated by accla mation. And what is better, they were richly deserving of this expression of confidecc3. Judge Boykin is a native cf Clinton, Sampson county, and was born on the 27th of Decemb?r, 1854, and is now only thirty-six years old. He has wrought out his own high position by his own efforts. He paid for his tuition at Trinity Collega by ring ing the bell and sweeping out the college, ud did that service even though his senijr years. lie graduated with hiiih honors. ' He has held many posi tions and been singularly honored by his people. He was twice Mayor of Clinton; was three years Chairman of the Demo cratic Executive Committee of Sampson county; was elected to the House of Rep resentatives from Sampson in 1881, and again in 18S3. In 18S5 he was elected to the State Senate, and was elected President of that body. He was ap pointed Judgo of tho Superior Court in 1835 to succeed Judge McKoy, and was re elected in 188G to fill out the unex pired term. He is an able and learned lawyer and has gained the reputation of an impartial and capable Judge. Quite a young man, he has already made him self ?.n honorable career, and this express ion of regard and confidence will inspire him to be even more worthy of the high honor which an appreciative people have bestowed upon him. Mr. Allen, the nominee for Solicitor, is a native of Wake county, is about thirty-five years of age, and was first appointed Solicitor of tho Sixth District by Governor Scales; was nominated and elected in 18SG, and his nomination on last Wednesday is a merited endorse ment of his faithful discharge of the duties of his office. He is an able, ac curate, painstaking and learned lawyer, a successful prosecuting oilicer, and an upright Christian gentleman. EDGECOMBE CONVENTION. Judge Phillips Unanimously Endorsed far Renomination. Special to State Chronicle. Tarbdro, N. C, July 10. The Edge c miba county convention was held here Monday, and there was a large delega tion in attendance, every township hav ing a full representation. Col. Elias Carr was unanimously elected chairman, and Frank Powell, of the Southerner, and H. T. King, of the Banner, secretaries. Committees were appointed to recom mend delegates to the State, Congress ional and Judicial conventions; also a committee to draft resolutions setting the principles of the Democratic party. These committees retired and performed their respective duties. In the mean time a resolution was read endorsing Hon. Fred Phillips for renomination. The resolution was received amid most hearty applause and was adopted memine dissentiente. Edgecombe is a unit for Judge Phillips and the delegation from this county will make honest and stren uous endeavors to compass his renomi nation. Edgecombe knows a faithful servant and she does not purpose allow ing his services to go unrequited if all honorable means employed and diligent efforts can secure his renomination. As to the ability and faithfulness of Judge Phillips no one questions, and why should he not have the renomina tion? He is learned in the land, fair and impartial in all his decisions and at all times metes out justice, tempered with mercy, to everyone. Does not such a public servant deserve to be retained in office? The people of Edgecombe think so and they earnestly wish to see him renominated. L. NEWS FROM THE EAST. THE NATIONAL CONGRESS.

In Senate to day Mr. Morgan spoke Iu Columbus County Alexander (iets Forty Votes, and Rowland fiets One lor the Democratic Nomination for Coagress. the for three hours on the Silver question, and closed with an appeal to Senators not to allow the Senator from Ohio, (Mr. Sher man,) to thrust his stiletto again into silver. He was followed by Mr. Call, who also argued against the conference bill. Mr. Plumb said that in the particu lars which he regarded as essential the bill was comparatively unobjectionable, supposing always that a compromise had to be made. Mr.. Vance It is admitted that the bill is not what it ought to be. Com mon sense would dictate then that we try to make it what it ought to ba. Mr. Vance went on to argue that the bill would not result in an increase of the currency, in as much as the four or five millions of treasury notes issued each month for silver would ba presented at the treasury and exchanged for gold coin and would then be used for the next month's purchase, and so on. This suggestion of Mr. Vance's was controverted by Mr. Allison. The vote was then taken and the con ference report was agreed to yeas 39; nays 26. House. Washington, D. C, July 10. The Democrats i.ok up most of the time of the House .his afternoon in fillibuster ing speeches. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, made along speech on the request of Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, that the journal be corrected so as to show that he was absent instead of present a. id not voting yesterday. Mr, Rogers criticised severely the rules of tho House. He quoted from remarks of Mr. Mc- Charlotte News.

They Are Good and Promising Every. The Best Averasre in lve where Years. (By United Press.) Washington, July 19. The statistical report for June of the Department of Agriculture shows improvement in the status of cotton, the average of condition having advanced from SS.8 to 91.4 since the previous returns. There was generally an excess of mois ture until about ths tenth of June, with fine weather since, giving opportunity for destruction of grass and for thorough cultivation. On the Atlantic cost the crop is generally well advanced, while it was late in the Southwest, where planting was delayed by overflows and by heavy rains. That which was plant ed early began to llom from the 15th to the Sdoih, and in the Southwest some bolls are reported as early as the 20th. While the plant is in various stages of advancement, from the wide range of seeding, it is now almost invariably in full vigor of growth, of good color and high promise, very free from rust, and free from worms, except the weak inva sions of firt broods in the more southern belt. The present average of July condition has been exceeded only once 'in the last five years. It is stated as follows by States: Virginia, 92; North Carolina, 95; South Carolina, 95; Georgia, 95; Florida, 91: Alabama, 95; Mississippi, 89; Louisiana, 86; Texas, SO; Arkansas, 89, Tennessee, 93.' Nearly throughout the (.-.ton area two or threo weeks of dry weather is re ported, but scarcely auy injury from drought. Since the first of July heavy rains have b?en reported on the Atlantic co.ist.

Tha journal was then amended as sug gested by Mr. Eoloe. Mr. Fit Man, of Illinois, and Mr. Wil. liam.--, of Illinois, attempted to make corrections similar to those of Mr. Enioe, but the Speaker pro tern (Mr. Burrows) recognized Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, to move the previous question. During the discussion that followed, it appeared that Mr. Fithian had been present during part of the roll call but was absent when his name was called. Mr. Cameron said it was evident the Democrats did not waut to transact, business. He then criiici.-od Republican nieiiihers for being absent and permit ting the Democrats thus to interfere with the business of the Jlouce. Mr. McMillin insisted that a gentle man must be in his seat when his name was called and refuse to vote in order to be counted as present and not voting. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that the Democratic party was the party of ob struction and extolled the House rules. The journal was approved 103 to 81. The House then went into committee of the whole (Peters of Kansas, in the chair on the land grant forfeiture bill. Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, argued against tho forfeiture of the land granted to aid in the construction of the Gulf & ip Island railroad. g- New Complication Arises--And JIust so Into the Comt.

The Rural Home (Alliance paper) says that the letter cf Senator Vance on Sub Treasury was read before the Wilson County Alliance "and endorsed in fall." Richmond county Democratic Conven tion adopted resolutions endorsing Sen ator Vance. Let every county do like wise. It instructed for Frank McNeill for Solicitor. Of the Laurinbarg township meeting the Exchange says: "The delegates elected are emphatically an Alexander delegation for Congress, and most prob ably a Mclver delegation for Judgo." We think that tho Alliance acted wisely in rejecting the .-ub-treaury bill and endorsing Senator Vance. The res olution endorsing Senator Vacco was passed unanimously. Lenoir Topic.
