OXFORD, N. C JULY 10, 1891 "The Democratic party will i" future endorse no man who is or has been in anyway connected with trusts A MmWiifli!. This nartv is of the people, with the people and for the people first, last and all the time. The Democratic party will fight against this tyranny in no mistaken terms. It will disown and condemn nrn and nil combines which seek to nlaee individuals under any other control than that of law.J ER1TOKIAL XOTF.S. hfln the surplus,7 obsoivei 1 the prayerful Corporal Tanner But who will help the deficit? The convention platform that fail this year to embody a ringing free coinage plank will lack in popular sound. If Cleveland moves to New Jersey it may be said of that Democratic State that even its mosquitoes would go for him. The organs are trying to get up a song of "Tin, tin, American tin," for "92. It should properly be set to the music of the Cancan. It has come out now that Tngalls wants to be a farmer in order to be in the swim when the tariff com mences to make potatoes two or three dollais a bushel. The old relation between cleanli ness and godliness is shown by Col gate, the soap man, giving a million to Colgate University, a Baptist in stitution at Hamilton, X. Y. Another leading difference be tween cranks social and cranks me chanical is that the latter may gen erally be turned in some other di rection and are also frequently sub ject to brakes. The peach crop is given out as about 0,000,000 baskets. At this rate all the tariff laws in the country can't help their going down. Some stomachs, no doubt, are already fairly aching for them. A quarter of an acre in extent and twelve feet deep is the size of the great Treasury vault at "Washington. As there's nothing in it now those curious in the matter may confirm these measurements. The party in Ohio is so warmed over anent McKinley that the ten dency is still to crow. It wouldn't be a bad idea in such an excess of it to save some for eating purposes in the jjossible cold weather next fall. It's singular as showing the con- I nection or one thing and another that the moment Blaine's foot was in treuble the great body of Repub licans throughout the country felt something was the matter with the head of the party. The Richmond Dispatch has re cently published interviews with leading public men in Virginia. Such men as Gov. "McKinney, Sena tors Daniel and Barbour, and other distinguished Democrats declare in unmistakable language that Mr. Cleveland's nomination wonld amount to a dangerous experiment if it did not proye a fatal mistake. The Norfolk Ledger advocates send ing an unpledged delegation to the National Convention from Virginia. Seventy-five million dollars is con tributed yearly in the United States to the sustenance of the church, $.51,000,000 more being given for purposes purely devotional. Within the century now drawing to a close 150,000,000 copies of the Bible have been printed in 220 different lan guages. Fifty years ago there were f02 missionary stations in foreign parts ; there are now 5,705. Fifty years ago there were 053 ordained missionaries; to-day there are 0,000 such servants of the Lord. Then there were but 1,200 other laborers and helpers abroad; now there are 40,552. This looks as if Colonel In gersoll had really lived in vain. Last week the Commissioner of Pensions signed pension certificate No. 000,000, granted for disabilities received during the war between the States. If the Confederates were enabled to disable 000,000 of the Federal soldiers, besides the 300,000 killed, what a fearful army the Northern States must have had in the field. This is all the more strik ing when the 000,000 men above ac counted for are considered in con nection with the host of pension claimants whoso applications have not yet been granted, and the still larger number of able-bodied sur vivors. If the South had have had such a multitude of men as that in her armies she could have almost whipped the world in much less than four years. The Fertiliser Matter. White Rock, June 27th, 1891. To the Durham Fertilizer, Co., Durham, N. C : Gentlemen : We herewith in close the tdlowing resolutions passed unanimously, June 27th, 1 S01. in regard to t he North Car olina Farmers' Alliance Official Guano manufactured by your company, passed by White Rock Farmers' Alliance Lodire No. 580. in which we express our confidence in the Duham Fertilizer Company, for its fair and honest dealings with up, and we confidently be lieve that it is as good as any man ufsctured or sold m the States. Yours very respectfully, etc., J. F. Cole, President, Li. U. Thorp, Secretary.

Kesolved. That we have all the roteetion we want or need in the care ami ability of State Business Agent V. II.

H. Worth, Raleigh, N. C, and be published in the Progressive Farmer and the State Chronicle and the News and Observer. Signed J. F. Cole, Pres't. B, P. Thorp. Sec'y. President Polk and National Lecturer Willets, with President Livingston, of Georgia, and Presi dent McDowell, of Tennessee, have recently made a tour of Mis sissippi. Tr.e press has devoted the most sp ice to comment on the speeches of Livingston and Mc Dowell, because they handled the sub-treasury plan, defending it in every speech, xery much to the discomfiture of the ultra partisan press which, in that State, has been waging a bitter and unfair war on that measure. Economist. Hood's Sarsaparilla has the largest sale of any medicine before the public. Any honest druggist will confirm this state ment. The Economists says party pa pers having heralded the informa tion in glaring head lines that the Alliance in Kansas was going to pieces and its members returning in large numbers to the old par ties, the Emporia, Kan., Standard demolishes all these fond hopes in the following: "The alleged Cloud County Alliance resolutions against a third party, are simply a campaign lie No such resolutions were adopted- This campaign lie business to drive farmers back to old party lines will not. win. Worms do exist in the human body to a great extent, and are often the cause of disease and death. Shriner's Indian Ver mifuge will destroy and expel them from the system. For sale by J. G. Hall. Pension sharks at Washington are flooding the South with blank pen sion applications. The letters are addressed to widows and soldiers of the C on federate army, purporting to procure for them pensions from the Government ly remitting- a fee of $10 when the application is returned and properly sworn to. It would not he an exaggeration to say that thou sands of dollars annually find lodg ing with those men in such nefari ous and deceptive practices.

At 3 o'clock on the mornicsr of July 3 at Ravenna, Ohio, on the New York,Lak Erie and "Western Railroad, train No. 8 fast express, bound for New York, whil standi ig at the depo: awa;ti i orders vas dashed into fro:n tli rear lv the Iress-d meat express from Chicago. Ailay coac on the rent- was completely telecoped and twenty passengers killed and 12 or 15 se verelv wounded. I !e co .ch find tv. o sleepers forward r k fi e and were cor. sumed. bumi'iir iinwiv of the b" le so that thev were al nost unrecognizable. For a moment after there was the si lence of death, aci'l lh n commenced the most frightful cri s ever heard. The moans of the dying, thn piteous cries for help from the imprisoned and helpless passengers and the. mutilated and bloody remains of the dead seen through the fragments of the debris formed a scene o horror no pen can picture. The freight engine had gone clear through a day coach in the rear, through the sleeper, the third car of the train. There was noth ing left of the train but a mass of debris and the sides of the third car stood about the monster engine as if to h-dd it pris oner and prevent further damage. This scene lasted but a mom-nr, when little tongues of flames sprang up here and there, and soon the whole wreck was wrapped in fire. It was a sickening sight. Two scores of imprisoned passengers in the debris; the flames, lighting up the place with a lurid glare, served only to intensify the horror without aiding the rescuers. As soon as the dazed passen gers in the other cars recovered them selves they rushed to the rescue of their unfortunate companions. One poor woman had been pinioned in the wreck, though apparently but slightly hnrt, whose piteous appeals for help will never be forgotten by the spectators. The flames had not yet reached, but were slowly reaching her. Strong and willing hands swung axes as they were never swung before. On crept the flames. It was a battle between life and death, and death was gaining. The heat was becoming moro intense every instant. Men who were no longer able to withstand the flames gave place to others with the rapidity of lighting. But it was a useless fight. The chopper had to fall back and abandon the woman t her fate. In a moment the flames caught her dress and instantly leaped to her head. Her piteous cries of "Save me! save me!" as the flames enveloped her and the expression of aony on her face as she sank down in the debris caused the stoutest hearts to grow sick with horror. How many more such frightful trage dies though unseen were enacted within the burning ruins in these brief moments will never be known. The bodies were carried to the depot as soon as recovered ana laid in rows iney presented a ghastly sight, though not nearly so badly mutilated as might have been expected from the nature of the accident. Dr. G. W. Earle, Pickens, 8. C, writes: "I recommend B. 13. B. to a man who had suffered for years with a malignant ulcer on his leg, that seemed to resist all other treatment. After using four or five bot tles the ulcer began to heal and his leg is now sound and well." Weekly Weather Crop IJulloim. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Experiment Station and State Weather Service for the week ending Friday, July 3d, 1891, show that farmers have enjoyed another week of remarkably favorable weather. The rain fall has been slightly deficient, and showers are beginning to be needed in portions of the Eastern and Western Districts, though copious rains fell in many portions of the State on the lstp Temperature and sunshine have been very favorable, and crops show a decided mprovement. By hard work farmers have succeeded in clearing nearly all crops of grass, and putting them in a proper state of cultivation. Wheat and oat have been harvested; yield generally good. Tobacco is in good condition, though there are some complaints that it is "buttoning" low, Cotton is still small but has improved much in many places, so that on the whole the propects are more promising. The present aver age condition of crops for the entire state is as followf : Cotton, 75 ; corn, 82; tobacco 86; wheat, 84; oats, 79; grass 89.- Rhenmat Ism Cured In a liny.

Va.. dated the 4tb, says: The greatest disas ter in the history of this community was the wrecking of a Kanawha & Michigan train at Farm, a village Smile north of this city this morning- There is a trestle there 35 feet high, which caught fire at some time during the night from a un accountable cause, probably a cinder from nn engine passing about midnight. While the bridge was not consumed its founda tions were so badly dam aped as to render it unsafe to cross. No notification of the face was received here, however, and the train, the first of the day, attempted to cross it, as usual. The engine and bagg age car passed over safely, but the two coaches were crowded and scarcely any one in them escaped injury. The list of injured number 68; killed 15. A Good Appetite Is essential to good health; but at this season It Is often lost, owing to the poverty or impu rity of the blood, derangement of the digestiv organs, and the weakening effect of the changing season. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a wonderful medicine for creating an appetite, toning the digestion, and giving strength to the whole system. Now Is the time to take it. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla. .MISCELLANEOUS. dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, " all gone n feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu larity of the bowels, are DlStreSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does not get well of itself. It baTing; requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Ilood's Sarsa parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and othej organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus C!rIc overcoming the local symp-u ' . toms removes the sympa- HeadaCrl1 thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. ' I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I bad but little appetite, and what I did eat Hpnrta distressed me, or did mo riearx mtle good Jn au hour DUrtl after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being; more or less shut up in a Sour room with fresh paint. Last e. spring I took Hood's Sarsa- StOITIaCrl rilla took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good. It gave me art appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced." George A. Pace, Watertown, Mass. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. $1 ; six for go.
