in regard to placing Capt C. N. Al

Capt. Allen well, and know him to
be a most excellent and worthy gen
tleman, and if he can be induced to
accept a position upon the Legisla
MMkAt. that he would make a
representative that the good people
of Wake county would be proud of.

The Third District.
Benjamin F. Grady, who was yes
terday nominated for Congress in the
third district,- is and has been the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
in his county. He has been in that
office since the system has been or
ganized. Mr. Grady is a Presbyte
rian and a gentleman of fineCbristian
character. He is shrewd and talen
ted, although somewhat eccentric at
times. He will be able to hold his
own with any man in the State. He
is thoroughly eon versant with the
political issues of the present day.
He is a member of the Farmers1 Alii
; ance, and while he was a dark horse
hitched in the woods to gain the
, proper trim, he is now at the front in
our judgment to remain there until
, the heat of battle entitles him to fill
his position in the councils of the nation.

The Great Alliance Rally.
Mr. E. C. Beddingfleld, Secretary of
the State Farmers' Alliance attended
the erand rally of the Farmers1 Alii
ance at Greensboro. He declares the
speech of Col. L. L. Polk, on that oc
casion. to have been a grand effort
He went on to show that all capital
was eager for investment and that all
corporations were nourishing. That
Agriculture and labor were in a more
depressed condition than ever before
and that the cause existed in the rot
ten financial system of th's country.
He f aid that in his western tour he
met with hundreds of the mem
bers of the Grand Army of the
Republic and he could declare
that sectional feeling was confined
entirely o the politicians of that sec
tion. Col. Polk, in his address, made
no unkind allusioss to any person and
abounded throughout in views of the
moBt conservative character. The
speech was delivered before dinner
and occupied two hours in its delive
rv. Col. Polk arrived in Raleigh to
day, and is in the best of healtn and
BDiritB.
In the afternoon Prof. W. F. Mas
sev made a brief but most excellent
address in behalf of the Agricultural
and MecbanicaljsCollege He paid a
trlowing t-ibute to Col. Polk, alluding
to his efforts in the direction of pro
moting tha-f arming interests through
the Farmers' Alliance.
Prof. Massey was followed by N. A.
Denning, one of the editors of tbe
National Economist, who delivered a
most entertaining address of about
an hour on the subject of finance
Mr. Denning is a most forcible speak
er and is perhaps one of the best in
formed gentlemen on the subject of
fi nan e in this country.
There was a tremendous crowd in
attendance and the rally was in all
respects a great success.

I
To The Point. (
The North Cr.rolina Intelligencer ,
of this week has the following: j
There are many rumors afloat just
now relative to the extension of the
Atlantic Coast Line to Raleigh. There
is a report that an agreement exists
between the Seaboard AirLine andA.
C. L., to the effect that the latter
shall not extend its line to this city,
and this is supposed to be the secret
of its coming almost to our gates. To
say the least, we need the road. It is
well knowu that Raleigh, while un
paralleled perhaps by any city in the
State in many commercial interests
of worth and merit, is sadly behind
in this one particular, and the con
sideration of no, one enterprise was
ever more timely. We want the
Coast Line, and the question is how
shall we get it? It is already built to
Springhope, within a few miles of
Raleigh. Now if this road can not
consistently some to Raleigh, what
can hinder Raleigh from connecting
with it at Springhope? The Raleigh
Board of Trade might consider the
matter at once. Activity now may
result in many advantages to the
city.
Tabernacle Notes
SECOND DAT.
There are more preachers than usu
al for the second day.
This is the 21st annual meeting, R,
H. Whitaker, D. D., is presiding.
Butt's three great panoramas are
here, and exhibited each night to
large audiences. The religious char
acter of these meetings makes them
quite appropriate to be shown at the
Tabernacle meeting.
Arthur L. Butt isleading a splendid
choir of evangelistic singers. The
songs are well selected and thrilling
We look for still larger crowds and
many more speakers as the meeting
advances.
The press in cleverly represented.
The new officers will be elected on
Friday.

says that last Saturday afternoon a

a boarding house. Mr. Taylor, of
High Point, arrivd here. He an
nounced that "Mrs. Kirkman" was
his wife and had run off with the J
man. After hunting about for a tim e
he found his wife and child at a;
boarding house Kirkman had skipp

deemed the trunk, and wjjh his wife
and child went to the depot to wait
for the evening train to take them ,

Trade on a Boom.
Trade is already on a boom with
us; in fact we have not had a dull
trade at any time this season. Re
cently we have had an especially good
trade on shoes. We got in yesterday
a big lot of new shoes, about 150 doz.
We had sold a big bill from these to
a live wide awake merchant before
we got them in the house. It is al
ways so with us, when any one looks
at our goods and prices that has any
judgment as to value, we never fail
to sell them. Prices will tell; if you
will show a man that you are protect
ing his interest and not trying to ex
tortion on him, the majority will ap
preciate it. One line of the shoes we
sold the gentleman yesterday, was a
good solid shoe that he told us he had
looked all over town for, and in every
other place they had charged hira
just 15c per pair more than we sold
them for. We do not only sell all
styles of shoes for less than others do,
but you will find it so in clothing,
dress goods, hats, notions, domestics,
jewelry, etc, etc.; you may always be
sure that you are getting the lowest
priofs to be found at
