At the interstate Convention held in Atlanta Mr. Keid Parker, one of North Carolina's ilelegates. made a speech. It was a good speech for the occasion and we copy it. Here it is : Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen of the Convention : I hold that the people in the main do the best they know how for themselves. When we see a man buy fertilizers, we conclude that he knows no better. 'Applause. And if we find that a poor fanner has gone to town and mortgaged his mule and himself for a spurious article of commercial fertilizers, we conclude at once that he thinks it is best for him. lie 1 'loes not know any better. Ap Dlause.1 ff we see a man that plants all cottt)n, and is plowing loor mules, and with poor harness, and with sore shouldered mules, we know at a glance that that man does not know any better. Re newed applause, j It is the best he can do lor himself. If a man in ! the mc rning after having taken too many drams the night before, wakes up with a headache and a kind of crawling vibout the inter nals here laying hand on stomach laughter with an increased thirst and a clammy kind of a tongue and a tottering, nervou condition, the best thing he can do for himself is to have something to steady his nerves. He does no: know any better. Applause. The only hope ot salvation of the common farmer, not your tanners who represent the common fanner, the only hope ot salvation of the common fanner of these ten States is for them to find out what is best for them, llow are they going to do it T Not by this convention meeting here . and considering co operation, coordination, stifiliza tion, civilization, concatenation, erortation, eradication, starvation and damnation. Great laughter and applause. We must go to work and teach. That is the only salvation. How is it to be done There are farmers in North Caro Una who let theirlights 6hine out. It does not just shine in his own house, but out the door, and way down the road, and a man passing along can see it as a light set upon the hill. Yoa will pardon me just a little. ; I won't worry your patience. I have been at work in a certain ! direction for the last fourteen years, and Anally we got a club together, I NORTH we got to reading ; we got the best yemr9 afterward9 he met his firf t lover' J District Assembly 49, Knights of La books and jsubscribed lor the best I ,nd gajj heri -i am now happily mar- bor, of New York city, held an election papers. We have a reading room j ried, am perfectly satisfied and want no ; Sunday for delegates to the General and a circulating library, and they u . nftnr nnhlishd in this citv tase a paper piiDiisncu in mis city that id a credit to the South U)0 wor,(, th( ( ultlv.Upr. We take that m a KUoiUrd, and read what Dr. Jone, of Georgia, says on grass, stock, and all these fertilizers, and we understand it as well as aDV chemist in the country. Whenever yon p by one of those men's houses yon can tell it as quick as you can when in a train yoa d;vsh from a tunnel into day light. You can see it. What is all the practical 0d in all these resolut ions, all this tariff question and all this political disiussion! You want to get to the individual . .. in.i,'ri.in.ii farmers, not you farmers, for you ' are the leading farmers. 1'our 1 governors selected you because you are above those around you but the intention o this convention is for yon to go home, lire up. and let vour light shine out still brighter and better and help the common farmer. Applause.' He is the man of this whole country. 1 know whole counties I don't know whether you have got them in .Georgia or not where they have not got a hog that is worth the ! name of a hog. I will tell a little story abcu' a ' hog killing time that 1 heard of in Georgia once. It was on a bright frosty morning, along about the lirst of January on a very convivial occasion, and thev invited in their neighbors tojhelp at the hog killing, and the women came in to assist and be clever, and a tire was built up with pine knots, and it was blaing away and they came in jovial and jolly to have a day of re joicing. They cleared the hops and hnng 'em tin, and they rejoiced. Breakfast a little late and they took more rejoicement.. Laugh ter. They felt coyivial and kind of hungry, and they commenced broiling some pieces of liver, and they were standing around in this jnvons condition when consterna tion and alarm fell upon the entire community one of the hogs was missing! How conld it come to pass right here! llow could one of those hogs be taken ivway ! And they instituted an immediate sea rch. and found that a cat had dragged one of those hogs away. I.oud and prolonged cheering No wonder you men are spending mil lions ot dallars for your meat when we have snch hogs as that. 1 have a little remedy to offer it is to reach the common farmer. He does not take these papers. He does not read anything. His home is sad and dreary and lonely. I have been there. I have stayed all night there. I have drank codec that was so weak it could not stand itself np in the cup. Laughter Their homes are sad. There are no tlowers there, no geraniums there. The girls are skinny headed and ugly. The boys are ugly; the old woman was cross; the old man had a sore tooth, and all was sad and lonely. Now, cannot some hope and help shine oat from the dark cloud into these places. You have them everywhere, thousands of them. Now if we can ranch this man, stir him up, open his eyes, jret him to thinkirjg, reading and talk ing with men anil amonp men, it will wake that man up. llow are ou going to do it T The only way is to hold agricultural and farming institutions in every State in the South, and pick out your best home talent, and get these scientific men from your agricultural departments and go out there anil Spend three or four days (teaching, just like the teacher teaches in the southern , SCUOOm. We had an Randolph last institute over 1Q week. There is a ni;in upon this tioor now that re. id a paper there that thrilled them through. It was worth tons upon tons, and it stirred them tip. 1 insist that ever county in these southern states ought to have an institution hki states ought to ( 'arolina it de m I f the state- and that. tjThe help.

"America, for Americans," will again be raised in the presidential cam paign of lSS by a new American party, come forth, like Lazarus, from the tomb of the old. The projectors of the re newed movement say. however, that the know-nothing movement never was dead, and that, with its objectionable features lopped olT, it still lives. During the celebration of the consti tutional centennial in this city a prepar atory convention will be held, at which delegates from thirty-eiht States will be present. The call for this conven tion has already been drafted by a body known as the "American National Com mittee." composed of some twentv or thirty men. Although this committee has been working very quiet ly, they have been for over a year in active corres pondence with more or less prominent people throughout the country, and have laid the foundation for a solid party of organization. Tho claim among their numbers over 1,500.000 persons, members of societies whose purpose is to inculcate purely American ideas, some of which are a survival of the know-nothing organizations of 1?44. General Master Workman Powderly is a prominent member of this new party, and has given utterances more than once to the principles this new party propose to stand on. These principles all start out from one central idea, the restriction of immigration.

The crowd is larger than .. .. had anticipated, but the clerk ii.f, us that many of them were c.icurs: a ists from Elizabeth City, and that !.: was sorry he would be unable tu fur nish us a room in the hotel on account of the excursionists remaining over that night and having engaged thc-m ahead of us. He kindly olfered to do the best he could for us, that was to take us over to one of the cuttitQcx for that night. The next day he would give us a good room. .A servant took our baggage, and in company with friend L. we were escorted to a rude looking house with steps running up on the outside reminding us of going up into a hay loft. There was not alight to be seen at first, but a lantern was fin ally found and we were led down a passageway by the rooms. The first one had no door and the second, opposite the first, had scarcely anything in it. The third we concluded to take. It had two beds, or rather bedsteads, the mattresses on which seemed to be tilled with seaweed, pinebark or something worso. The pillows were of the same material. Due with all liiai n tired and sleepy person can find repose. About one o'clock found us dropping olf u sleep in that state of happiness that only tired manhood can properly appreciate. In less than one hour a heavy knocking and pounding was heard. A heavy wind and rain was raging. I., was standing on the floor trying to pr p and wedge a window sash that had blown out and was turning in the rain, lie had drawn his bed across the room to prevent a drenching from the rain which penetrated that whole side of the build ing. I found that myself had h.-en given a shower bath unsolicited and un beknowing. All thi kept iri awake fully an hour longer, still we thought it possible to get four or live hours sleep by late breakfast, but fate was against us. Our eyes were just closing in sleep when some half a dozen boys who bad been indulging rather much came up and wanted sleeping quarters v.-ith somebody they didn't care who. but nobody wanted them. Tney tri.-d our door but found it strongly faneiad and the knob taken oil.

He reasoned, pleaded and did every thing he could to get them to desit. but no go. lie then tried rash measures, but instead of improving, niatt- rs were made worse.

The old man could not be made to understand anything that was said to him, but he answered everything without a misgiving, taking it for granted that the weather was the topic un der discussion. "It is a cold day,'" said I, "for your work," and in truth the wind was blowing rather sharp on a .March day. ''It is. sir; and yonder yon see the vessels outside beaford, waiting to get round through this change in the wind. They ha'got out, and can't get home again, and mebbe will hvae to stop there a week or more. Over there at Newhaven there be a wonder- fur sight of men at work, as three hundred, some do say."

You couldn't keep your feet nohow." "How old are yon?" said 1. 'Yes, yes, they be for Musser llodson; them where the pole is stuck up." I now pointed to the turf and the wheelbarrow, finding that words were useless. "Yes," said he. "the Hints is very thin in some places: I've only got thar heap you see there in a long while. I be aeuttin' for Lord Gage." "And so jou are getting Hints!" shouted I. m tones which might have been heard at Newhaven, and Tvhich startled a shepherd half a mile off. 'Yes, that 1 be, sir.
