On the beginning of its lGth

Topic has one of the best writ
ton and ablest editorials in re

gressive Farmer that we have
yet read. Success to you,
President Butler, of the State
Alliance, says that the nation-
committee are at worJc upon
new bill to take the place of
the eubtreasury bill. This is
s
t
gnifi cant when we remember
mt Polk and his henchmen
1
ave been making the eubtreas
ury a test of fealty.
J The negro Alliance in Texas,

1 The Progressive Farmer
;hihks it is time to quit voting
tor old Soldiers in the South.
Es it necessary, in order to
lease the bloody -fihirt1 howlers
sf Kansas, that we debar old
Soldiers because of the fact
;hat they are old Confederates?
If the death of sectionalism
fcieans that we must proscribe
nd debar and lose respect for
.those who fought and spilt
their blood for our welfare and
'for our land the noblest blood
of the South without whoso
voted and patriotic part of
Southern history would be blot
ted out forever men whose
lives afford an inspiration for
grander efforts . to our young
men then for heaven's sake,
let sectionalism live.' "If I for
get the, Oh! Jerusalem, let my
tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth.",
, Although Wilkesboro is the
central point for all our neigh
bor counties, north and west,
we can not expect to success
fully draw this trade, even to
its natural way, without better
roads. This road business is
of the most vital interest that
confronts our people. The su
pervisors should meet in every
township and take steps to have
our present road law enforced,
as it is their sworn duty to do.
If the supervisors fail to per
form their plain and positive
duties in the matter they should
be made to account for -their
negligence at the bar of the
law. It is time to wake up ear
nestly on this matter. If Wil
kes will make less liquor and
more and better roads, a great
difference in her prosperity
will be shortly noticed, i ;
Polk in his Kansas ' speeches
last week tried ro make apolo
gies for being in the Confeder
ate Army. He said he was
driven into the Confederate
ranks and accepted the office of
Lieutenant in order to embar
rass the Confederate cause.
How do the old Soldiers appre
ciate a man who is ashamed of
his comrades and their cause
which they believed right? If
the Southern Soldiers were de
feated, their honor was untar
nished, and he who wonld a-
pologize for his course as a
Confederate and admits that
his purpose as a confederate
officer was to help -the Union
cause, can hardly have the re
spect of honest men, no matter!
where they live.
Wilkesboro and Taylorsville.
The Wilkesooro Hotel has gotten out
a card showing the height of towns and
mountains in North Carolina. On the
reverse side it places Wilkesboro at an
elevation of 1,043 feet when in fact it is
only 943. i Curionsly enough, it failed
to give the height of - Taylorsville, the
nearest town and second highest east of
the ridge. If they do not bnow it at
Wilkesboro, we take the liberty to in
form them that Taylorsville towers sev
eral hundred feat above that, town, its
altstude being 1,261 feet,., and that we
have some high mountains in Alexan
der. Taylorsville Index.
The Chronicle know noth
ing of the printing of tho cards.
They were hurriedly gotten up
and printed at Elkin just before
the Press Excursion. . In ma
king up the form for the ,size
of the card used several
places named in the copy had
to be omitted, "curiously e
nough.,, The elevation .of
Wilkesboro was taken from
Prof. Kerr's reports as publish
ed in the Lenoir Topic some
year or so ago. We suppose
that Kerr and the , Topic were
right unless there was a mis
take made. As to ' Alec's high
mountains, if the brother , will
get up the necessary statistics,
we will use our influence before
the Wilkerboro Hotel authori
ties to have them get out a spe
cial AlexandeJ edition of cards,
and we think they will do it
with pleasure. Wilkesboro
would not, if she knew it, be
unjust to" her j little daughter,
for the place where Taylorsville
now stands was once a part and
parcel of the j Great State of
Wilkes. Is a loving mother
jealous of and unjust to her
daughter? Then how much
less probable is it to suggest
that Wilkesboro would be un
just to or jealous of Taylors-

Suicide in Sistesville.
Policeman Amos Patterson
committed suicide in the May
or's office in Statesville on the
16th. inst. He was alone at the
time and when found was dead.
He was thirty-five years old,
and leaves a wife and four
children. The Landmark says
there is no visible season at
present for the suicide. He left
tho following sad note for the
public and his wife and chil
dren, but it gives no clue:
"I have not done any one any harm
and have tried to do right all my life.
I have nothing against anyone in this
World. Things look very dark before
me just now but I don't know why they
hould. I have a great many friends
whom I hold dear, some enemies but
my peace remains with those. To Mag
gie Eloise Blake, Nelly and Cloa, may
the Great God bless you all and take
care of you all now that I am gone.
Oh hdw: I would loved to have stayed
with you for you know that I loYe yon
each one of you beyond any power to
descr ibe remember papa kindly and I
do pray that the fates may treat you
better than they have treated mo.
