Holt, who was sworn in as Governor, was borne in Allamance county in 1831; was prepared for college at llillsboro and entered the State University in 181S. He left in his junior year and engaged in the business of cotton manufacturing until 1SG0 when he began business on his own account, lie has grad ually extended his milling inter est until now they are the most important in the State, llo has been many years in public life; in 1876 he represented Alamance and Guilford in the State Senate; in 1S82 and again in 1SS( he rep resented Alamance in the House and was elected Lieutenant Gov ernor. For sixteen years he has been president of tho North Car olina railroad, and was for eight years the president of the State Agricultural Society, and for a long period served on tho State Agricultural Board. He has also held other minor positions. He ranks as one of the most substan tial, influential and clear headed men in North Carolina and en joys the confidence and regard of all its people. Rev. Sam. P. Jones is about to enter the lecture field, and will deliver a lecture with the charac teristic title "Get there." Harrison has no intention at present of coming Fast.

The committee agreed tlfat the sole difference between the Miss issippian and the committee was on the sub-treasury question; but as the State and National Alli ance have both declared unequiv ocally in favor of tho sub-treasury plan, it is the sense of the majority of the committee that all members of the Alliance in this State should stand declara tion. ti, :i . i i ino iniuuiny report nas also been published, which says: "Be lieving in and giving unqualified support to the declaration of the purposes, and the greater part of the demand of the Alliance, and that the objects sought to be at tained and properly conducted are essential to the welfare of tho toiling mass of this great nation, with whom we are heartily in sympathy, and believing that the Alliance umst align them- tit r 1 wrsn i-1 1 1 1 ocu ica wini uue or mo oilier tional party to accomplish thing, or organize itself i 1 . i , . - ponticiai party which would lead to its destruction, and believing M 1 t that any measure or policy advo cated to be enacted into a law affecting all classes of our citizens should be freely and fairly dis cussed and should fail if not en dorsed by the people, who are the government, therefore, we can not endorse any action that will muzzle the press or individuals.

Governor Fowle had hardly at tained the age when the highest forms of political success are se cured. He could justly have looked forward to still higher honors, for he enjoyed the re spect of the people of his State in an unusual degree, and was in the direct lino of promotion. This prospect has now melted away, for he has passed beyond the limits of earthly preferment. THE SOI I IIERX PEOPLE AHVA.VtE AUAIX TO PTjACK AXI POWER. Although they were overthrown in the war,their fortunes ruined by the disastrous issue of the contest and their whole social system dis rupted and permanently altered nevertheless Southern people still control the social life of the cap ital of the country,and their supre macy is recognized by their fellow citizens from the North in spite of the fact that in mere point of wealth the latter occupy in com panson a very much superior pos ition. lit i . it has been surprising to many people to witness the resurrection of the South and Us triumphant advance again to power and to place; but it is a fact, worthy or not, as the case mav be, of some study.

Both sides fought for position for tho desperate Gubernatorial battle of next fall that will involve not only the Mc Kinley tariff law but Mclvinley Presidential hopes, and a United States Senator to succeed the vet eran Sherman. A Waco, Texas, man has come to the front with cotton picking machine, which he says has been tested and will pick ninety per cent, of all cotton open. It is light enough to be drawn by two mules, its, weight being about one thousand pounds, requires but two men to operate it and will pick, free from all dirt and trash, from 3,000 to 8'WptjuHds per day. ' ocratic boodlers of Cincinnati, the results of the municipal elections are anything but encourageing to McKinley. Cincinnati, the key to the political situation in Ohio, elected a Bepublican Mayor by a nominal majority of about 100, being a Republican loss of 8,500 on the party majority of last fall, when there was a flood-tide aamst tne IteDublicans. The Legislature of Nebraska recently adjourned in a row, with everything tangled up, because one of the members insisted upon violating the rules and setting decency at defiance by smoking in the House. It hardly seems a suflicient justification for the sus pension of business that a cad should insist upon going on re cord as bavins- the stupidity of a mule and the manner's of a loafer.

The pastor then announced that the services would bo concluded at the grave, and as the remains were borne from the church, the choir sang, "Nearer my God to Thee." At 5:05 the funeral cortege left the church. The services at the grave were short and ot the simplest char acter. Dr. Watkins offered a fer vent prayer after which the Masons and Odd Eellows each droped sprigs of acacia in the grave with abbreviated ceremonies.
