It has been asserted by many that it was strange, rather marvol.ms cast our lot in a (own with old merchants and at once take the lead. We reply that it is not strange at all.

CBEITSIIilW cSs CO., Oxford, 2nT. CL ? FUSION IS ARRANGED On County, Congressional and State Matters. After fooling the people for eigh teen months the Republican anil Ponulist Executive Committees asrreed to co-operation on Congres sional and State offices, except the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor ami Auditor. The proposition is substantially tbe one submitted by the Republican sub-committee with several amend ments. It was origina'ly framed by Chairman Holton, but as adopted was in the handwriting of Chairman Ayer. In the agreement reached, the Re publicans agree to support the Pop niist nominess, Cy Thompson for Secretary of State; W. H. Worth for Treasurer; Charles Mebane for Su perintendent of Public Instruction, and Col. Robert Douglass for Su preme Court Justice. The Populists in return agree to support the Re publican nominees, Zeb V. Walser for Attorney General; Walter Mont gomery for Associate Justice; Spen cer Adams, of Caswell, for Judge of the Fifth Judicial District. In the Congressional division, the Republicans agree To give their sup port to Fowler in the Third, Strowd in the Fourth, Martin in tbe Sixth and Shuford in the Seventh. The Populists virtually throw their strength to the Republican nominees as follows: While m the Second dis tiict, Settle in the Fifth and Pear son iu the Ninth. The right is re served by the Populists to put up candidates in each of these districts. The First and Eighth districts were left undistuibed, the Republi cans in the First having agreed to support Skinner (Populist) and the Populists to support Linney (Repub lican) in the Eighth. The question of electoral fusion was not touched upon. County fu sion is already arranged in most counties, but it will be promoted where efforts have failed. Below is the Agreement as con cluded by the sub-committees and ' which was unanimously adopted by both executive committees. The Peoples Party State Execus tive Committee and the Republican State Executive Committee, in be half of their respective parties affirm ing our devotion and fixed determi nation to support and maintain a free ballot and a fair count in all the elections held in North Carolina, and pledging ourselves to the policy of upholding the principle of free and honest elections aimed at and pro vided for by the election laws enact ed by the General Assembly of 1895, for and the purpose of maintaining the Act of the last General Assem bly, restoring to the people the right of local self-government, enter into the following terms of co-operation: First. To equitably co-operate to secure the election of members of the General Assembly pledged to these reforms. Second. That the Republicans con cede to the Populists the candidates for Congress in the following dis tricts: Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh and the Populists resumu for Congress, who are making the . combinations which are sucking to canvass for McKinley and gold: j death the American people. "We mads the agreement on the j Now what about you Populists who grounds that the Democrats were in- j have raised so much sand about free sincere and no more to be trusted ; silver, income tax, etc.?

O. H. Dock- of Thomas Settle to Congress. Stop ery, whose nomination was recon sidered. Col. Dockery was not cen sured in any way. The Populist Executive Committee also considered the question of elec toral fusion. A resolution which pro vided that the Populists do not fuse with the Democrats on the electoral ticket was voted down. It was un animous, the committeeman who in troducted the resolution voting against it. Chairman Ayer says: "The Popu lists are determined to beat McKin ley. If it becomes necessary to bring about his defeat in this State we will certainly combine with the Demo. crats on electors." The matter of putting up an elec tor to fill vacancy left open by the State Convention and the matter of arranging co operation with the De crats on electors was referred to tbe central committee with power to act. Raleigh Press-Visitor. Uerea Brevities. Berea, N. C, Sept. 16, '96. Mr. Editor. News is searce but here goes for a few lines. Dr. Marsh, our able pastor at Mt. Zion church closed Sunday a week's meeting here which may be termed a really good one not so much for the new converts, but it was a regu lar warming up, genuine old time revival of religion something everv church and community need at least once in a year or two. Another revival is in progress this weeK at lrinity M. E. Church, and still another will begin next Sunday at Goshen Chapel Church, in charge of Rev, S. B. Klapp, an earnest, de vout man of God. Miss Lena Pleasants, who enjoys an enviaoie reputation as a teacher, opened the Public School here Mon day with a good attendance. Mr. Pomp Thomas was at Berea Sunday. We listened again Monday to the joint discussion between Kitchin and Settle, at Buchanan. The audience the right, to name candidates in the I was a large and representative on Second, Fifth and Ninth, the First j and the attention respectful from all your infernal devilment and lets get down to work like honest folk. We notice Mr. Editor in your criticisms on the Registrars, rathei an unjust one on Rev. liavwood ijyon. we ao not Know mm as a political preacher and his handwrit ing is about as good wo suppose, as that ot the other Republicans in thi precinct. He is a worthy, law-abid ing colored citizen and pays his hon est debts so far as we know, and we have some right to know. We are glad to hear this as a majority of the colored preachers are politicians, and we take pleasure in publishing the above, as we have no desire to do him any injustice. Our inform ant must have been mistaken. Ed. J RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED and Eighth districts having made a satisfactory adjustment through their respective congressional con ventions. Third. That the Republicans sup port the nominees of the People's party for Secretary of State, Treas urer, Superintendent of Public I?t struction and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. That the Popu list:; support the nominees of the Re publican party for Attorney General, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Judge of the Superior Court in the Fifth Judicial District. Fourth. The good offices of our re spective committees are pledged to accomplish the results aimed at in this agreement. Hal W. Ayer, Chmn. Peoples' Party State Ex. Com. L. C. Caldwell., Z. T. Garrett, A. E. Holton, Chmn. Rep. State Ex. Com. M. L. Mott, R. C. Patterson, A. B. Middleton. Chairman Ayer was asked by a Press-Visitor reporter why his party could support Republican candidates parties. Mr. Norwood and his esti mabie lady entertained the two speakers and their friends hand somely, as they always do. There is no cleverer or more hospitable man at his home than Scott Norwood. As to the arguments, Mr. Settle makes as good speech as can be made, possibly from his s andpoint, but what interest can wo feel in a man who is unalterably opposed to free coinage of gold and silver as money, who is a representative of a party that opposes the income tax, that favors a high tariff and nation al banks of issue, a party that is sup- portoa ana iostered by the giant trusts, monopolies and combines of tbe nations, favors the classes and opposes the masses, legislates for the rich and crushes and grinds and squeezes every drop of life's blood out of the laboring people who are tbe mainstay and support of every country ! Mr. Kitchin takes a bold and fearless stand on the side and in the interest of the people. He is opposed to national banks of issue and favors the restoration of silver to its proper place as a money. He ravors an income tax and opposes Upon the Resignation of the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, At a meeting of the congregation of the Frst Presbyterian church of Bartow, Fla., on Sept. Cth, 1S9G, the following action was taken: Whereas, In the providence of Uod, Rev. A. S. Caldwell finds it necessary to change his field of labor that his wife may have the benefit of a change of climate, and having received a call to the Presbyterian church, of Oxford, N. C, he asks us to unite with him m asking Presby tery to disolve the pastoral relation ship now existing. Be it Resolved, That we sympathizing with him in the circumstances which makes such change necessary, accede to his request and join him in peti tioning Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relationship now existing, to tafce etteet September lo. Tiiat coming to us at a time when the church was weak and few in numbers: discouraged by continual difficulty and internal strife, he has by his straightforward stand for right, and truth and purity of life, raised the standard or christian hv ing, doubled the membership and! given the church such a lift heaven ward, as we feel sure none else could have done for God sent him to us. And above all else he has sought by precept and example to briner us to realize the blessedness of the life hid in Christ. That while we part with him re- i -Wittfi-i 'A v v -rr.S.j0 " "si- XS -.-tjt, wCSS AN OBJECT LES50N FOR VOTERS AND ANARCHISTS. This is the Anarchist, all forlorn, With his "yaller" dog and his eldest born, Who drove his mule from early dawn. And never stopped till the sun was gone, In order to make twelye cent corn. He struggled early and struggled late, Too busy to digest the food he ate, His hopes were only considered bait, For millionaires, with figures eight. In spite of all that he could do, His farm ran down, and his products too,! And for what he bought he had to pay, ProQts to shylocks, thousands per day. So the Anarchist'then began to think, That from year to year his money he'd sink In making "stuff," bought with a wink; And wanted to know the reason why Wall street could pull the wool o'er his eye And become millionaires thereby, So he concluded a change he'd try. This is the party by Hanna run, Who thought to win was only fun, tie eaiiea on tne oanKers tor very much "mun, And laughed all day the race begun. The race waxed warm, and his man at home Talked to voters who were paid to como, While Bryan was going throughout the land Talking to Anarchists, and shaking their hand. Then Hanna feared and began to quake, Says he, "I'll fool 'em with a fake, I'll have Grover and his cuckoos a pill to make, (At Indianapolis, in a doubtful State,) And sugar-coat it, for Tories to take." Then he laughed he! he! and laughpd ho! ho! And he "pulled their legs" till they'd scarcely go, And said "I've got 'em now for sho." But the Anarchist continued on his way. And kept up his thinking till election day, He cast his ballot and when counted up The G. O. P. was in the soup. R. L. B.

And commending him and his family to the christian fellowship and love of tbe people he goes to serve, ,"Hay the Lord bless him, and keep him, and make His face to shine upon him. May the Lord lift up upon him the light of His countenance and give him peace." That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of the church, a copy sent to our late pas tor, and published in the Courier Informant, and church papers. J. L. Wirt, E. R.
