Entered at the Post-office, in Wilkesboro as second-class matter. I WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1S91. There are now 2201 Alliances organizea in xne Dtaxe. ine first one was formed in 1887. I' i 1 1 n i i m l ( Jongressirian Mills, of Texas, has expressed his intention of retiring from public life unless his people want him in theU. S. Seriate. The Wilson Advance, m its ne v dress, is one of the pretti est and brightest papers in the state. Here is to you, Brother, in your success. rihe North Qarolina Midland R. B. from Winston to Mocks yille, is completed as far as the Ycdkin River, and the Commis sicners of Davie county have issued $30,000 in bonds to the Company. The Western Alliance men an ) clamoring for a third party ani'are threatening that if the Southern Alliance does not join wi th them that they will turn th3 whole west back to the Re publican party. The Southern Alliance appears however to be more conservative and not de- sii ous of the third party. The western Alliance express es a lack of sincerity for the reforms it professes to advocate wl len it threatens to turn every th in g over to the Republicans, the very party that put upon th 3 Country the very iniquitous legislation of which it com plains. The Twin City is giving its neighbors of the State andelse w lere a practical object lesson in energy, push and progress. It is worthy the reputation of being one of the livest towns m th 3 South. Like Alexander,! net content with battles f ought and victories won, it sighs for new conquests and is now wid ening its fields of operation. Not less than four anierenu Ja id improvement companies j th 3' West end, North end, East; end, andBouth end, or Sunny sides are at work in as many: di sections, grading streets, sur veying lots, building etc. j !rt was our pleasure to visit; s thriving place a few days ce and behold with our own is its wonderful progress! i It nishes a gopd object lesson our study. Necessary for us to hayc. t is of more than jcommon erest to our people and our welfare as a town and county thkt more attention should be paid to the cu ture and manu facture of tobacco. There is no. other single in dustry that would so satisfact orily and permanently bring 01 r town into the proportions oi a city of imnortance and reputation. As The people of tile county are begining to some extent to ci .ltivate tobacco. But it should b greatly increased.; In order to increase the culti vation of tobacco it is neces sary for us fo give our , people; a g3od convenient home' market.' T rue Winston is. now in very, easy access, but it will take our p jople some time to fully rea li se the entire benefit .of this, w hile a good market ' right ! at Jiirae here would have ; its ef: fectsunon this .branch of agri culture right at once. Besides if we expect to be a trade that of right should be burs, for once the channel of trade be fixed in that airection, it would be hard to check or turn. But if we will furnish increasing warehouse facilities in keeping with the increasing culture of tobacco, we will con stantly build up and hold a td bacco trade which would prove a bonanza in our material pro gress, and form a nucleus for constantly attracting and . in creasing patronage from sur rounding sections. , By all means we need a large tobacco warehouse, well arran ged and well and discreetly managed. Wherever the farmer sells his tobacco he will surely spend his money for the necessaries and conveniences he desires to pur chase. . Hence every business in ; the place would be benefited by a tobacco market, and the-whole county also because the money is left at home to increase the comity's wealth and help bear I the burden of taxation. Why not make a mbvo on this line? Contention Called. Governor Holt has called a convention of the citizens of North Carolina who are inter ested in the welfare and up builniDg of their state to meet at'Raleigh N. C. -n the 13th day of May 1891, for the pur pase of perfecting ways xind means by which ; the advan tages, resources and industries of the state may properly be ex hibited both at the Southern Inter-State Exposition to held in Raleigh begining October 1 1S91 and at the Chicago Exposition 1893. The city of Raleigh and the Inter-State Immigration Bureau join in the; call of this convention. That every section may be properly represented, appoint ment of delegates are requested to be made as indicated below and the names sent to J. T. Patrick, Raleigh N. C. as early as possible: Chariman County Commissioners 2 delegates. Mayors of towns 2 Delegates. Secretaries of Agricultural Clubs 2 Delegates. , I Secretaries of Alliances 2 Delegates. Secretaries of Granges 2 Delegates. Presidents of Land Companies 2 Dele gates. Editors of Papers 2 Delegates. Land Agents 1 Delegate. Besides the above, every one interested in the progress of the State is requested lobepresent. Ail delegates expecting to at tend should inform J. T. Pat rick, Raleigh, of their intention. - Things ire rrant to know. . The Chronicle is under no obligations to any one for its opinions, nor is any one under obligations to the Chronicle. It tries to be fair and honest, though, and wants everybody to be Jhe ', same toward it. It does not desire to misrepresent? anybody, sect,, order or party. When it does not i ( understand anything it desire to get infor mation, and this desire is hot a freak of captiousness pr evil in tention. There are some things about the Alliance it does not understand, and as Bro. Terrell says, every little county paper is not desired as a confident and organ ' it has to risk its chances outside to get such information. Hence it" is in no captious spirit it asks a question or so from some of the brethem who will be kind enough to an swer them. . 1st. How can the Alliance bo political and not partisan:' Mr ure political but was not and could not be partisan. We con-1 1 f ess this is too deep for us. We havo always understood with 1 our finite ability that politics I and policies of necessity made partisans, and that partisan was a name applied to those advocating certain common policies. Then how can a body , be political and not partisan? 2nd. What does contraction of the currency mean? Mr. Terrell said the currency had been contracted from 650 per head to about 1-4 that amount. The treasury reports show that the per capita now is a little over $27, and that the highest per capita ever had-in the U. S. was $28, in 18G4, 18S7, 18S8. Then in what way has the cur rency been contracted? 3rd If the Alliance is not in favor of protection or tariff for I revenue what is its true positon" on the taxation question? Is it in favor of levying a direct tax for 1000 Millions, about the a mount now taken yearly for this government about $1G per hoad for every man, woman and child, or $85 for every family? These and many other things wo dont understand. Will some one enlighten us; or is it treason for us to ask? Home-made Spring Toetry.

In the spring the gilted lover Sighs for that which might have been. In the spring the turkey gobbles With a louder, shriller note. And the little kid with trousers Wants a brand new speckled coat. In the spring the flower maiden Wanders over land and lee; In the spring things get lively With the bed bug and the flea. In the spring all nature blossqms Valley, meadow, hill and dalo. In the spring the doc goes smiling, For his bread pills find a sale. In the spring the young soul spouts out Poetry of love's sweet war: And then fires it fast and fiercely A- the country editor. In the spring the bashful maiden From ner Pa her courting screens; - In the spring the stomach dotes on Sauerkraut and turnip greens. In the spring the "monkey mwany"N Twells his Awnie of his love; But her daddy with his shoe toe, Gently tells this chap to move. In the spring the boy dreads to Hear his daddy call at morn; But his heart leaps up with gladness When he hears the dinner horn.. In the spring the little warblers Witn their music fill the glen. In the sdring the busy housewife Spanks the chaps and sets the hen. In the spring the bees are humming, Full of business are tha ants. In the spring the average masher Sports a pair of checkered pants. "In the spring all human nature With some strange emotion fills; Poets tell us 'tis the flowers, Doctors say 'tis need of. pills."
