A Description of the Hooniers of New Towns With Some Larjre and Phi lanthropic lletiectinns and Humoi oih Touches. (Special Cor. State Chronicle.) 1 started to begin this letter in this wav: "Thinking that your numerous rtalers would like to hear" but I will not; because I don't think that I do; and -besides ray real i lea is to write a letter, and thereby compel a great many peo ple to reluctantly read after mo. It's the vanity of all of us who have never done much in the world to contrive to be in sight one way or the other, or we might get overlaid in the litter. What I want 'to get at, af'er awhile, if the patient , reader will allow mo, is to tell you about a trip to the booming towns of South west Virginia. It's worth taking the trip is you get dead oodles of knowl e Inc. if nothing else, and Solomon set great. ntoro by that commodity, if the translation of his opinions is literal. Anvlndv can ero. Summer excursion rates are so cheap either by the R. & D. or S A. L. lines that you lose by not ac eM'ting their lucious and seductive otters. You will pardon this delicato bit or tid bit of advertising. It is not paid for but the editors and writer will all go to their exceedingly wrim and badly drain ed graves in Oak wood thinking that it oimht to be. and that too, by a whole deck of complimentary cards inviting J them to seize the centre seats on the hhady side of tho cars, so that the poor pay passengers can bask in our Southern mm. But the rates are all marked down. Thero is a great hunk of philos ophy in this mid-summer marking down. A man travelling on the frivolous occu pation of making food and skimp rai ment for his family ought to be made to pay the top of the market for the privi lege, while on tho other hand the tired and overworked husband who is coun selled by his faithful physician to leave the iharms of a hot and fretful households to woo the balmy widows a id miscellaneous girls at the sea shore or in tho crests of the mountains, and to llirt with the salt or fresh breezes as that topography of tho occasion may make proper, is entitled to tho lowest rates known to educated consciences of " tho mo.t religious passenger agent. This iives the wicked a fighting chanco. If llio reader will only bear one moment j intone cheap as the tickets arc they h ivi to bo pai 1 for in tho present insuf ficient gold basis non-sub-treasury uionev. All you have got to do therefore is to borrow the money. That's the way to uo to booming towns or the sea shore. I neivesvou to put on airs and give offence to the pitiful and plain people ; who practise the old time virtues of mod estv and economy. Then too, when you are successful, you can join the great congregation of liars, "who came into this town without a dollar in pocket. ' For fear of judgment day's arrival and cutting in on these lines, we will just pass right through the endless wmte sunshine and showers of blask cinders and clouds of dust,and consider ourselves as swinging along the base of the Peaks of Otter which Christian calls the "Belles of tho Virginia Mountains" at the rate of 40 or 00 miles an hour, and then bringing up with a smart, sharp, agreeable jerk and being hustled out into a shed and wo aro in a Southwest Virginia town. They aio all booming. It would be worth your while and a great deal of it to suggest that any way station on the Norfolk and Western railroad was not on a fine healthy well formed boom. If they are , mt, your senses deceive you; because the fat clover fields are all scarified by the , painful, rectangular streets that checker- hoard tho whole taco ot tne country. 'The word road has fallen into that .harmless disuse that the great architect of that phrase now enjoys, ana mam street usurps the old macadam road from Lynchburg to Bristol. Along this thronged Boulevard you can buy lots at so much per front foot either in 4in actual physicalvillage or in a purely hypothetical city as tho imagi nation of the sellee, aided by the veracious and voluble aajectives of tho seller may elect. The real estate dealer travels incognito now, not by pre ference, but for revenue. You may vain ly think you are holding converse with one of the Old Dominion's most distin- .. 1 saw him nex day just in showing a n etioice to a new victim who carpo as I did, from everywhere. And now to come back from South west Virginia where there will bk a prosperous country, because of its fer tility of soil and much mineral wealth but where there cannot be a canton of cities and wheie the unit of subdivision of land will for many years be the acre instead of the square foot, we land again in North Carolina, tho best State in the South and where money invested in real estate will multiply at a greater and safer paco than in National Banks; where the great steel plants of the next decade will be placed, where the hard wood factories will be situated and the Golden Leaf will be fair barter for the yellow dust of every tribe on earth. Its always good to get back and if it were not selfish we would not let our petple go away even to Southwest Vir ginia because we want them to enjoy their own. P. M. .Wilson. AT THE SEASHORE. COL.

Emporia, Kan., July 7, 1890. Editor State Chboniclf.: I was pres ent last Saturday (the 5th inst.) at the grove near this city, and heard the ad dress of Hon. L. L. Polk, your distin guished fellow citizen. An immense crowd was present. Thir teen hundred venicles were counted, and hundreds of people came by the rail roads and upon horseback. Those com petent to judge estimate tho number at not less than ten thousand. There were dx bands of music and numbers of flags, emblems and mottos carried in the great procession of farmers. The writer has resided here for twenty one years, and during all that time never has witnessed such an immense con course of people in and around the city. Mr. Polk was accorded a most respect ful and attentive hearing. While the Alliance members greatly prepondera ted, yet there was a large intermingling of merchants, professional men, mechan ics and others. The speaker was frequently internpt- ed by storms of applause and the words THE NATIONAL CONGRESS. THE SILVER BILL nAS PASSED '.BOTH HOUSES and as pleasant as interesting: Raleigh, N. O., July 10, '90. Dr. G. W. Blacknall, Dear Sir: The Annual Editorial As sociation meets in Durham, as you know, July 23, 24 and 25th. We should like as a body to run down and spend two or three days. We are not Vanderbuts, but want good accommodations and at as low a rate as can be had at the Atlan tic. I write you because I know your liberality to the press, to see what rato can bo secured for two or three days. In my opinion his words of wisdom and statistical showing will bear abund ant fruit in the autumn harvest. This county in the past has averaged 2,000 Republican majority, and this ma jority has been manipulated at times to the great detriment of the public inter est. A nomination is equivalent to an election, and incompetent and venal men oft times have filled our most re sponsible positions. The producer and the laborer have grown weary of the burdens that are growing to be intolerable, and the cry is a change, anytnmg tor a cnangei Answer at once. I am glad to hear that They are now realizing at. last tbat icgi8 the Fosters are haying such a big run. Sincerely, Josepiids Daniels, For Ex. Com. of N. O. P. A.

The Chronicle hopes that every editor in the State will go to the convention at Durham, and then go to Morehead on the excursion. We can forget politics and the cares that infest the day and have a royal good time. All who are going should write at once to T. B. El dridge, Durham, N. C. lation for twenty-five years past has been in the interest of capital and corpora tions, to the detriment of the toiler and the maker of bread. Mr. Polk met many of our people so cially as well as publicly and I hear nothing but favorable comment from all. North Carolina may well be proud of such a son. W. T. McCarty. WAKE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

Whereas, The County Executive Committee of the Democratic party for Wake county, at tneir meeting neid m After a Lively Wrangle in the House It Will Be Sent to the President on Monday It W ill Give an Additional Circulation of $57,000,000 Per An num. By United Pi ess. Washington July 12- After routine business the Senate renewed the con sideration of the shipping bills. Mr. Vest quoted from a speech of Daniel Webster to the effect that the success of the American merchant ma rine had come not from protection or bounty but from perseverance and economy. Mr. Call said he would give his vote for the postal subsidy bill, and wouuld be glad to vote for the tonnage bill if the rate of sub sidy was not excessive. The bill was then passed yeas 29, nays 18. A vote was then taken on the postal subsidy bill, and it was passed yeas 28, nays 16. On motion of Mr. Morrill the tariff bill was made the unfinished business and after a short secret session the Sen ate at fine o'clock adjourned till Mon day. House. Washington, D. C, July 12. In the House to day Mr. Conger, of Iowa, called up the conference report on the silver bill. He said that the bill pre sented in the report was in the nature of a compromise. It was not just such a bill as he thought Congress ought to pass. It was not just such a bill, per haps, as any member of the House would like to pass if he were preparing a measure to state his convictions. But it was a bill that would answer the de mand of the country, the demands of the silver miners, the agriculturists, the laborers and the business men of the country. The whole tenor of the meas .1.1 -w- . 1 ure remonetized silver, it would give an additional circulation of $57,780,000 a year at the present price of silver. Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, regarded tho conference bill as a vast improve ment over the monstroscity sent here by the Senate. Mr. Herrman, of Oregon, said that he favored the bill, although it did not coa turn the fullest recognition of the tquit of- gold and silver ms money. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, said that ttv bill was not the result of a Iree ani fan conference. It was the result of s- cib meetings of the Republican conferee He, as a conferee, had known nothing ot the measure until it had be n passed, and the report was rea iy to be bigucu. The Democratic members hud been ignored in the preparation of the bill. The bill was one whicb practically demonetized silver. It was i; THE SOLDIERS' HOME. CITY CHURCHES TO-DAY. Application for Admission Raleigh's Noble Women Must be Emulated Another Way to Snpport the Home. Mr. W. C Stronach yesterday received the following letter: Charlotte, N. C, July 11. Is there yet any chance to get into the Soldier's Home the old fellow of whom Col, Max well wrote you some few months ago? His name is Sheffield. One or two of us have had tho responsibility of the old gentleman ever since the paper mention ed that he would have to go to the poor house. I noticed that you were about to open a temporary home. I will give $1 per month for it or mcic if it be necessary. I think it a shame (S. II. A. M.E.) that an old disabled man shonld be so horribly neglected. We must emulate your camp and your noble women and do something, all over the St.ito. At any rate for the present, put me down for $1 per month let me know to whom I shall send it. Yours most truly, Fred Nash. Col Fred Nash was one of the bravest and most gallant man that wore the gray. He was adjutant of McRae's brigade, and lost a leg in that coura geous, dashing and brilliant charge at Reams' Station. He is one who knows and appreciates how worthy of aid and care the old sol diers are, and he does what he can to aid them. He speaks from the soul, and he speaks truly when he says it's a shame that the old veterans should be neg lected. Lit everybody rally, and let those who are now growing to manhood see that service and devotion to country and people shall not cannot be ignored in this old State. $G7G15 THE NET RECEIPTS Of the Soldier' Home Fair The Win ner in the Guessing Match.

The Spanish mission, it is understood. has been tendered to General Mahone. of Virginia, but tho probabilities are that he will not accept it. Tho reason assigned for his expected declination is that he does not liko Peesident Harri son, and will not for that reason place himself under obligation to that gentle man. Rev. R. H. Whitaker says we were mistaken in saying yesterday morning that he assisted in a meeting in Chapel Hill last spring. He did preach there twice last fall, while Dr. North was as sisting Dr. Cordon in a revival meeting here. As to whether 'ho won tho hearts of the people,' or whether "they were anxious to have him" as their pas tor, as our article of yesterday stated, Mr. Whitaker says he does not know; but he hopes and earnestly prays that many hearts may bo won to Chri3t, and many, who aro already trusting, may bo greatly blessed during the few monthH he may bz permitted to labor for and with the church at Chapel Hill. The Chronicle regrets to know that R. O. Burton, Jr LV-q., of Halifax, has moved his residence to our sister State, and will practice law in Richmond, Virginia. He has a partner, and will attend Halifax courts. Mr. Bur ton is confessedly one of the ablest law yers in the State, and his loss will be greatly felt. His name had ten fre quently mentioned in connection with the Judgeship oi the Hecona district. Judicial honors surely awaited him, and in common with many friends the Chhonicle, while regretting his depar ture, predicts a brilliant and succeshful career for him in the Old Dominion.
