Entered at th Posl-oflice in Wilkesboro aslecond-tloAs matter. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1891. plaj. McKinley, of tariff no toriety, has been nominated by tne Ohio Republicans for Gov ernor. The Democrats will re nominate Governor Campbell. The fierht will be interesting:. David S. Reid, Rockingham, elected Governor in 1852, be ing: the first Democratic Gov ernor after the election of that of icer was taken from the Leg is ature in 1835 and placed di- re ctly m tne nanas 01 tne peo- pie,. died last. week, bdrn in 1813. He was Although no amount was ap propriated at ; the joint meet ing the 1st Monday in June to have Wilkes represented at the Southern Inter-State Expo sition, 'we suggest that the Co. Corns, begin a subscription lis t for that purpose by appro priating some reasonable a- lount, to be increased, oy pri vate subscription. It will be bdd if Wilkes should have to go unsepresented, and that at a time too when efforts are be ing made to bring her to the nitice of the world. In his speech nominating MteKinley for Governor of O- hio, Geri. J. B. Fofaker said th at "it .seemed that the devil cc uldn't killed the Democratic party." Mr. Foraker makes tl is observation after much ex perience. He has been attemp ting the life of the Democratic party for a long time. But it is fresh in memory that in the last Ohio Gubernatorial race h6w "the devil" signally failed tc "kill the Democratic party," but instead the Democratic party cleaned up his satanic majesty, Mr. Foraker. To be si re Mr. Foraker should know tl at Democracy is founded up on the eternal principals of jv stice, right, equity and self government, and "the gates of hell cannot prevail against it" althougrh Mr. Foraker himself be ehief gate-keeper. A Few Figures in Tobacco Culture Tne ioiiowmg: statistics in us should be of interests. They are taken from the late census report: bounty.

Although our people ,y little attention to tobacco culture, anaiwnat is raisea is done in a loose way, yet we de-j d lcit from !the statistics the f ,ct that the production per a-' ere and price per pound of the Wilkes tobacco is nearly equal to that 6f I those experienced counties of j Forsythe, Surry, afnkfts. fitci This with the fact that Wilkes soil produced tie tobacco which took the 1st premium at the. World's Fair q. i Vienna, is a convincing rec o nmendation of Wilkes as a section suitable for the prof itable culture of tobacco. With p roper experience, the culture 6 : tobacco in Wilkes could not b 3 excelled both as to quantity a id quality.1 ' - Tobacco is a money crop. It j Always sells for pure spot cash, and thereby brings the circula ting medium among the people, j Forsythe, by it's tobacco cul ture and trade, has built up in a few years the most progres sive city in the State. States yille is now solidly booming on the same basis. With equal, and in some re spects even superior advan tages, what could not Wilkes county and Wilkesboro accom plish by means of tobacco cul ture if they would only make the proper efforts? The Stata of Kansas has been the stronghold of Allianceism. Kansas was the main mover in launching the third party at Cincinnatti. But the proposi tion to endorse the third party has just been submitted to sub Alliances and they have refus edjto endorse it after having formed it. , They resolvedv 'as follows: Whereas, the South was not repre sented in the Cincinnati Convention. Whereas, we believe 3rd party will disrupt the Republican party to benefit of the Democratic party, therefore, Resolved, that we abandon tho Third party to return to our party affiliations. Do you see? It is alright as long as the 3rd party disrupts the Democratic party, but as soon as they discover that the third party is not disrupting Southern Democrats as fast as they desire, they declare a- gainst their own pup. it ap pears that the Cincinnati con vention was a pure Republican ruse to split tho white man hood of the South, but it does n't work as charmingly as ex pected and they disown their own offspring. They adopted tariff reform and other Demo cratic doctrines, squarely op posed to Republican profligacy, but ere the party is 3 month's old, they stab it with a resolu tion, because forsooth it does not break tho Democratic par ty of tho South and they fear it will injure the Rpublican par ty the daddy of tho very legis lation of which they complain! Is it possible that any sincere honest Southern man, who de sires the welfare of his coun try, will be led astrayJiyJtheso Oregon Letter iAccording to promise, I will give you a brief sketch of my trip across the con tinent. I left my home at Mt. Zion, Wilkes county, N. C. on tho 13th of Mav, crossed the Blue Ridgo at Deep Gap, passed Boone and reached Sher iff Baird's on Watauga river and spent Beveral days" in this locality visiting friends. On the morning of the 17th, in company-with Jont II'. Brown, cross ed ihe mountains and reached Elk Park, tarrying for the night. On the 18th we were joined by Mr A B Mast, and took the train forf Johnson City. We were met to-day by agcnt Milam, Ilaight, Patty and Newland. Bought tickets to Jtoseburg, Oregon, and on the 19, again took the train for the west Reached Knoxville Tenn. where we changed cars. Here we parted with all our agents except Mr Ilaight, who ac companied us to St. Louis, Mo. and ren dered us much valuable assistance. Having to lay by about all day in St. Louis, Mr Ilaight escorted us about the city. We first took the electric cars and travelled over a large portion of the city. Went to Power Grovo Park and Garden. Here we witnessed some of as fine scenery as mortal eye has ever beheld. In this park and garden aro all kinds of trees, shrubbery and flow ers that can be found upon the habita ble globe. After spending a few hours quite pleasantly in this delightful place, we returned to the city. We then took the Cable Street car train and went tb For est Grove Park where we enjoyed our selves finely traversing the shady walks inhaling the pure air and sweet perfume of the lovely flowers, "which decorated our path way on every side. But I must leave this delightful place, and a gain take the train. for the far West. Left St. Louis about 8 o'clock P M and arrived "at Kansas city Mo. . on . the moruing of the 22nd where we took the train for Oregon: In Kansa3 we passed Lawercnce, Linwood, Topcka, Manhat- j tan, Ellsworth on the Kansas River and j Fort Ridley where the much lamented 1 Willie More was located. Passed Hun go and Denver in Colorado. This morning saw a huge old wolf making; his way across the prarie, making tracks as speedily as if he were anxious to escape from human gaze and return to his little lair in the wild, rugged and rocky ravines of tlie Rockies. But the little Prairie dogs in this locality seem ed to be in the height of their enjoy ment as they nimbly scampered about among their cavernous dwell ings, turning summer-saults from the tops of their little houses and disap pearing in the inferior. We here take a more Northerly direc tion, and soon arrive in sight of the snow capt peaks of the world renowned Rocky Mts. Passed Brighton, Lacelle and Grecly (the latt so named in honor of Horace Greely) reached Chienne in Wyoming. Arrived at Summit a small town on the Rockies. "NVe were here visited by a slight fall of rain, hail and snow. But we will be compelled (on account of time and space) to hasten on though we will make a brief pause at Soda Springs in Idaho near tho head waters of Snake River. Passed the river be tweensome of the most rugged mnts and the most picturesque and sublime mt. scenery I have ever yet witnessed a mong the Rockies. On either side the mountains rise, Until their summits kiss the skies. At Pocotello, a number of Indians were present. Some Indian maidens painted red, Came ronnd the cars to beg for bread We next arrived at HuutinSton, Ore gon Passed Baker city, and Lagrande in Grand Ronde Valley. This is a beau tif ul valley surrouded with huge mts partly covered with timber and partly with Prarie. Passed Cayuse, near which a number of Indians warriors, with their squaws, dogs and ponies. We reached the great Columbia river, near Umatilla and went down it about 150 miles, amid scenery as grand and sublime as can on earth be found. Reached Portland the Metropolis of Oregon where we tarried through the night at the Inter National Hotel. Portland is a beautiful city and seems to be growing rapidly. Wo passed Sa lem, through the fertile "Willamette Valley and arrived at Roseburg, tho terminus of our R R voyage. We went to Myrtle Point by stage, where I met many old friends. From here I went by private conveyance to Mr. John Hays's on the upper South Coquello riv er ray Oregon home and was much delighted to again meet my kind friends and finding them all well and prosper ing.
