I ! Judge Graves' charge to the grand jury was very complete and practical. Besides the oth er masters, he touched upon the importance of public roads and the dutyof the grand jury to seel that the road law is en- forcec The Pension rolls now amount to 15 This million dollars a year, eads Brick Pomeroy. to exclaim that we are bearing a burden for the benefit of the few, greater than that borne by the one Christ, and that the soldiers! of both armies are "working hard to pay themselves to be shot at. Thfe brethten of the Elkin Cour er are in suspense. They say been their office has already taken for a saloon, gener- al stqre; gallery, grocery store and they next doctor's office, and now are wondering "what The law requires the road supervisors of each township to make report to the clerk of court, which report is subject to the inspection of the court and jrand jury. Let the grand jury examine these reports and see i : the roads are reported in the Condition required by law. We have it on good authority that some of the roads are al most impassable. Mr. Henderson made a real nice talk to the old soldiers Saturday. But when he got to the subject of the Alliance he achieved a brilliant success. He proved the fact already u nive rsally admitted among Al liance speakers that all town people are political tricksters designing rascals, who laugh at and make f uu of the poof horny handed sons of toil. He however forgot to state he is a townsman and tha therefore belongs to the class afore mentioned.- Selah. . Mi. Long said in his speech tha ; he was tired of hearing "tariff' tariff, negro, negro," and asked if anybody would at ten pt to say that Polk, Carr, or Alexander would do any thing that wonld put negro rule upon us. Jerry Simpson said at Charlotte that the negro was thdenual. sociallv and in all - , hects. of the white and ought to be so recognized. Mr. Polk followed Mr. Simpson and commended his eloquent and patriotic speech, agreeing with hiri. Now what about it? i - The millennium of love and peace petween the sections does not appear to be so J near at hand as Col. Polk would hate us beleive, when Harris, a confederate was defeated in Kansas for Senator, simply be cause he was a confederate; anil the Alliance Legislature The of Georgia refused to accept a home for the crippled confed erate veterans, who at ; most have but a few more days to bo with us. "Was the Georgia Legislature trying to curry fa vor, with the Kansas third par ty, when it refused to help the needy and careworn confeder ate Soldiers? If this is what Polk means 'when he speaks of the death of Sectionalism, we fail to see its beauties. Politics j have not been very lively this court. The Democrats generally are not very hopeful of the outlook, as it is apparent from the signs at present that the Alliance third party will defeat the Democrat ic party, which will result in the election of the Republicans in this State. The Republicans see this too without any telling and are smiling and saying notning. Democrats are not hopeful enough to talk and Re publicans are too full for utter ance lest they betray their joy, i . y ana nence we near very little politics this week. Mr. Long said here in his speech that he was tired of the political tricksters' cry of "tar iff, tariff." Then Mr. Long with great vehemence called heaven to witness the fact that he and all the Alliance would stand square on the Ocala Plat form and would die before they would vote for a man who was not in accord with it. : Well, now, tariff reform is distinctly and componently ono part and parcel of the Ocala Platform and if Long expects to stand by that platform till death, why does it tire him to hear even the mention of one of its planks, and why denounce the mention of said plank as political clap trap? Is that what you call dealing' honestly with the . peo ple? , All the speakers Saturday a greed the Alliance had abolish ed sectionalism, and that there should be a home furnished for the care-worn and decrepid Confederate Veterans. What about the Georgia Alliance Leg islature refusing to accept a $50,000 ' confederate soldiers home a I movement put on foot by the lamented Grady and carried to' success by the Dem ocrats, and would now be the home of many a crippled con federate, but for the sectional action of the Alliance Legisla ture, that was afraid of woun ding the feelings ;of their brethren in Kansas,5 who had refused to elect as Senator their most popular man simply because lie was a confederate. ! Col. C. !j. Cowles of this place informs ihe Asheville Demo crat, regarding the Bechtler coins, that these coins, or to kens more property, were made at Rutherfordton, from! native gold; from 1830 to 1835du ring the j period of successful placer mining in the Carolinas and Georgia, when the yield per annum was not less than $500,000, and when their being no railroads nor express com panies nothing but j stage coaches for rapid travel, and no mint nearer than 'Philadel phia, when it was an actual ne cessity to pnt it in shape to do vide it amongst copartners, to pay rents or rolls ' to pay off hands the necessity : finally leading to the establishment of the branch mints at Charlotte, N.TC., iDahlonega, Ga., and New Orleans, La., March 3, 18 35, the one at Charlotte being opencdfor business in 1837. Our friend Mr. Wright made j a good speech Saturday, al though he was not expecting to speak. We think he is mis taken in some of propositions, however. It is not correct that the Government lends money or lets Banks have money at 1 per cent interest, as wo un derstand the matter. The facts aro Banks go into open market, purchase government bonds, deposit them as security with the government, and the banks are then entitled to issuo cur rency to the amount 90 per cent of the face valuo of the bonds. The government lays a tax of 2 per cent on these banks, of the same nature of the income tax that use to be levied, and we utterly fail to see where the 1 per cent interest comes in. But Mr. Wright is correct in wanting financial reform. Mr. Long, in his speech here said he was a Rcpnblican. Ho read the State law against trusts, and said that there were men in the State up to ears in trusts notwithstanding the law, and thanked God that they didn't belong to his party. Why didn't Mr. Long state the facts? Ho knows that the Dukes of Durham, who aro Re publicans belong to the biggest trnst in the world, The Ameri can Tobacco Trust, D. N. Duke being President. There are four of the Dukes and each one of them realizes annually from this trust about $175,000, the president getting $25,000 extra. It was not necessary for Mr. Long to make a statement which was entirely incorrect.

Editor: I began a series of meetings at Liberty Grove Baptist chuch in Wilkes county on Saturday before the fourth Snnday in August which lasted 11 days. Brethren Love, Jordon, Burcbett, Blcvins, Bobbins and Smith did most of the preaching. The Lord blessed us abundantly. The chuich was greatly revived, 21 professed faith in Christ and a number of others were crying for mercy when the meet ing closed. 17 additions to the church and others will follow the Lord in Bap tism soon. I then went to Coal Springs church to assist Bro. Byrd in a meeting. 13 prof efisediaith and others were left mourning- The-Lord's cause Is pros pering abundantly. s J C. F.
