Kolb, Agricultural Commissioner of Alabama, and the leader of the Agricultural Organ- 'izttions throughout the country ' was on last Saturday defeated in the Alabama Democratic Conven tion for Governor. This should not discourage the farmers. Their .candidate made a splendid run and reflected the highest honor npon them. As for Capt. Kolb, his future is very bright. This writer has known him from bis infancy, and confidently anticipates his fatnretriumphs. THE farmers of Alabama have set their fellow countrymen a a splendid example. They selected for their candidate for Governor Capt. B. F. Kolb, a man of deserved popularity because of his services to the country in war and in peace and the high character he has sustained in all the relations of life. They placed bis name before the State Democratic Convention, and for four days, did all in their power to secure his nomination. Bat, wben the fight was over, they heartily pledged their support to his successful opponent. Thb newspapers are making con siderable noise abou the objection able and offensive questions which are to be asked by enumerators in the taking of the census. The newspapers, we Bare no doubt, voice the sentiments of a large majority of the people in this matter. The questions which are regarded as offensive are those with respect to obtaining statistics npon the mortgaged indebtedness npon personal property aud real estate, and with respect to phys ical diseases in the cases ot living men and women. These statistics, when prepared, if there could be any certainty ot their correctness, would be valuable. But the idea that people are going to answer these questions correctly is farcical. They couldn't if they desired to do so. The poor enumerators will make very few friends in the per formance of their unpleasant tasks. THE USTEILIjrO OF LEE'S STA tE ; IT RICHMOND It is not often wise to attempt the impossible, but the public ex pects ps to tell of the unveiling of the Lee Statue at Richmond. This we shall attempt to do in a series of short articles. We cau give no adequate de scription of this crowning event, but if our reade-is will rail to mind Napoleon's return from Elba, and his reception by the people of Trance, they may form some con ception of the scenes preseuted at Richmond on ttie ever memorable 29th of May, 1390. We cannot tell ho i.ianv people were present. It in estimated t h At the present population of Richmond is about one hundred ilious.ind, and it ia believed th.u the visitors equaled in number the resident population. Two hundred thousand is not an exaggerated estimate of the people who stood on the sacred soil of Richmond on the day that witnessed the unveiling of the Statue of "America's greatest man. " The great procession was more than five miles long, and, through out its entire length, was walled in by masses of enthusiastic citizens and visitors from all part of the Union. The places of the several S:ates I in the procession accorded with the order iu which they passed their ordinances of secession South Carolina first and Virgink last, Twenty thous and men in line, repre gen ted every ttatein the South, Virginia had the l.irgrst number of State troop-. and North Carolina came next with four splendid regiments of infantry. The Fifth Marjland regiment from Baltimore, five hundred strong, and the Washington Artillery, from New Orleans, with their two hun dred men, twelve gnns and sixty horses, were the most attractive single organizations, but the old veterans of every State received the loudest applause and called forth the warmest expressions ol veneration, sympathy and love. Arrived at the speaker's stand, near the mounme'.t, Governor McKinney introduced trie chaplain, the beloved pastor of Davis and Lee, who reverently Invoked the blessing of Heaven. Then the Governor presented General Early, the presiding cfiicer of the day. Cheer after cheer went np as the old hero rose before his people. He spoke briefly, but eloquently, and then introduced the orator of the day, Colonel Archer Anderson, of Richmond. The oration was a masterpiece. It was the superb presentation of the idol of a whole people by an inspired son of Genius, and every word touched a responsive cord that vibrated with emotions of manly pride and patriotic joy. But the supreme moment came when, at the conclusion of the ora tion, General Joseph E. Johnston raised his pure hands to nnveil the Statue of Robert E. Lee. As the drapery fell at Johnston's touch and revealed the matchless form of Lee, a triumphant shout rose in one hun dred and fifty thousand voices, forty cannon and ten thousand muskets pealed forth their thunders of applause and sent white wreaths to the heavens as the token of peace and joy and love. To describe Richmond on this gala day would require thejnost exalted genius in its highest de velopment. We may not attempt it farther than to draw imperfect outlines of the grandest spectacle of modern times. Every building was decorated from foundation stone to topmost pinacle. Pictures illustrative of scenes through which Lee had passed, were as illustrated pages iu au illustrious life. Here was his childhood's happy home, the academic groves in which he walked, wild Iiidian scenes, and visions of Mexico, while everywhere the flags of the South were seen float ing in an atmosphere permeated with the perfume of flowers and re dolent of the incence of patriot ism. Richmond covered herself with renewed glory ou that day, and so long as time lasts the 29tb of May, 1S90, will remain a hal lowed memory and a glorious prophecy to our people. THE NO ETHERS' PRESS. The insane ravings of Shepard, of the New York Hail and Express, having been given to the country, we can do no better service than to present, through our columns the sentiments of representative Northern papers in regard to the Lee Monument at Richmond. No part of our common country is more loyal- to the Union than that which was emDraced within the lines of the ljte Confederate States. The people of the South have deeply regretted the unwillingness of the people of the North to accept their declarations of loyalty to the Federal Government and devotion to the Union and the Constitution, and it is with genuine pleasure that we hail the roseate flush of the auspicious morn that is to usher in the day of restored confidence and mutual good-wid. We have heretofore spoken of the liberality and fairness, as well as the ability of the Washington Post. It was with no surprise that we read, in its issue of the 29th of May, an editorial on Robert E. Lee that concludes with these stirring words : 'So let the statue he unveiled in all its majestic proportions, midst music, oratory and heroic ode. It will not shame the sunlight. It will not endanger the liberties of the people. It will cause no patriot to draw a bated breath. It will shock no manly sensibility. It will simp ly show that the South retains a grateful appreciation of her noblest son, and commends his name to the muse of history as worthy of exalted perpetuation." While the Post has given us no surprise, our pleasure is not di minished because we rightly j udged its spirit and its chivalry. But we are surprised that papers of which we exiected nothing but censure, i have risen superior to party bias i aud M-ctioual animositj and spoken ! words of truth and commendation. Fiom a gie.it number of papers we ; have selected the New York Tribune i '. as the best representative of that j classof newspapers to which have we I just icferred. We have read its words over and over again to see if they did not contain some covert btib, but here they are, open as the day : "The Tribune has never hesitated ou fitting occasions to denounce disloyi.l acts and tendencies iu the South; and it will continue to do so, if need be, in the future. But lor that very reason it may fairly claim the right to defend the youth when it is unjustly assailed : as in our opinion it has been iu connec tion with the ceremony of unveiling the Lee monument on the 29th ult. in Richmond. That the people of the South should delight to honor the memory of that great ami popu lar leader ueed not and does not reflect on their loyalty in the slight-1 estdegree. It is true that numerous ! Confederate nags were tlung to the breeze in the quandom Confederate capital: and there were a great many things said aboutue Lost Cause the cood taste of which might be questioned. but there was no hint of disloyalty to the Cnion from the beginning to the end of the celebration, and we are fure there was no thought of dis lovalty in the hearts of those who took part in it. On this day. sacred to the memory of the loyal dead, we can well afford to be generous to those who were once armed against the nation but who are now an integral part of that nation. If the outh loyally accepts the ver dict of" the war, as it is doing, the North will not criticise it for honor ing the memory of its fallen chief tains, or even for occasionally bring ing out its old flags, which to enlightened southerners today are no longer emblems of treason.'' Wo concladewith the following sharp extract from the New York World : 'The brilliant oration of Colonel Archer Anderson at the unveiling of the Lee statue an address at once eloquent, philosophical, and patriotic is a sufficient answer to the tirades which have been uttered in certain quarters against the ob servances at Richmond on the 29th." OUR LIVING AND Ol'R DEAD. The above is the title ot a book published by Col. S. D. Tool, of Raleigh, from which we make a few selections relating to General Lee and his ancestors : "One of the most entertaining Southern books was written by General Llenry Lee, the father of the illustrious Robert E. Lee, the roundest character that belongs to American history. It has been long known to every reader of military biography, and is a valuable con tribution" to the department to which it belongs. Its title is Memoirs of the War. of '70, and those whe are not familiar with it, should embrace the first opportuni ty that is offered to give it at at tentive reading. Some five or six yearsago, a new edition was issued. Increased interest was given to it by a modest life of the author by his great son, the immortal leader of the Army of Northern Virginia. In addition to the biograpny, General Lee has added some val uable notes, and has also con tributed brief sketches of General Andrew Pickens, of South Carolina, and General Anthony Wayne, ('Mad Anthony') of Pennsylvania. Before entering upon the main subject t)f this paper, let us detain the reader for a little while witn a brief reference to the Lee family, and to the author of the. Memoirs. We feel quite certain that no read er of Our Living and Our Dead can be indifferent to anything that con cerns Robert Edmnnd Lee 'the noblest Virginian of them all.' 'The Lee family is ancient and highly honored. From the time of William the Conqueror, about A. D. 1120, when one of the name came over to England, until now, there have been eminent men connected with it. There is a general history of the Lee family running all through those years. In Revo lutionary times, Col. Henry Lee, our author, and Richard Henry Lee were the most illustrious. In our own times, the peerless Commander of the Confederate forces is the most distinguished and revered, his name being a 'household word' wherever virtue is esteemed or genius honored. 'Col. Henry .Lee was Dorn in Virginia in 1756. He was educated at Nassau Hall, Princeton, New Jersey, at which college he was greatiy distinguished. He was preparing to enter upon the study of law, and was on the eve of leav ing for England to prosecute that end when the war with Great Britain began. He served with extraordinary gallantry under Washington, and had a gold medal voted him whilst a Major, 'a dis tinction which no otherofficer below the ranktf General received during the war.' His splendid successes were afterwards won in the South ern Department, under General Greene. Owing to ill-health he re tired from the army in the spring of 1782 and returned to Virgin';). His commander wrote thus to tie President of Congress: 'I am more indebted to him than any other for the advantages gained over the enemy in the operations of the last campaign, and should be wanting in gratitude not to ac knowledge the importance of his services, a detail of which is his best panegyric' "Not long after bis retiracy he was united in marriage to Matilda, daughter of Col. Ludwell Lee, ot Westmoreland county, in Virginia. Soou after the close of the war he was a member of Congress from his native State, and was one of Presi dent Washington's most intimate friends and earnest supporters. He was afterwards a member of thA Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution, and was distin guished for zeal and eloquence in support of the measure.' In 179 he was greatly afflicted. His ex cellent wife died, and a few days afterwards a dear little son of ten years of age was laid beside his mother. He had two other cuil-1 "JtsaB:wM - i . i 'if M ' I'i ii il i i -r--:-i lilm-if im eTiEfir-m'' : 1 1 ' ... - - - ' umiiii i iiarrjgT ..fai tu nmm u i nSf r" Hi mm iimniinii t . aMsi-AT1 I ' rTirTuwMiiM ---JJmxJiIL-iLLL-r " i j ..j i n - dren, a son and thiughter.

I'DlTim Ji.irr.NAi. : What does it take to constitute good paper money! Why it is the Gnancial credit cf the one that put it forth, or that has it i.-sued ? We have plenty of men iu Is'orth Carolina that own good, safe property, t hat could come together and ha e paper issued that could he c.iptd goad money, and could lend to the farmer at S per cent, were it nor for the 10 per cent, tax on State banks. Just so long as the people have confidence in a mau they are willing to trust him. Just so loug as a nation is recognized by other nations to be self sustaining aud independent, her credit or her paper currency is good. During the year 18(11 Confederate notes were almost as good as green backs, but after that year the peo pie begau to lo.-e confidence in the Confederacy us an independent nation. Hence her notes began to depreciate. Why ? Lecause they were based npon nothing that was substantial or sale. Why then do we complain at United States cur rency ! Is it not good ? Yes, very good. Ir is not the quality but the quantity in circulation that brings about this complaint and depres sion. Why there is not money euough ;n circulation to pay more than a two-third price ot our pro duce that is place on the market. And there is not n:o ey enough in the South to answer the demaud of the merchants' trade. So the farm er lias to do almost without any. He must use barter for money ; and this makes dull and low spirited laborers. The lc.-s the circulation of money the greater is its pur chasing power and the more proper ty or more produce rr.ust be given in exchange tor a given sum of money. If I lie amount ot' money in circulation has by any means been diminished one third a given sum of money will purchase one third more property. Hence it will take one-third riio;ecrn. wheat or cot ton to pay ileois and cancel obliga tious than it wmild have done had the volume ol money remained un changed, iu other words if the amount of money has decreased one-third debts have increase! one third. With these principles in view is it not evident that the owner of mouey of the United States would desire to lessen its amount instead of mcieasing it. In order that its putcha-ing power might be the greater, the supply of money has been diminished during the past twenty years so that the vol ume of money now iu the United States is at least one third less per capita than ir was twenty y ears ago.

This sounds nice for the man that has tic cotton or other products, but how about the day laborer that nevt r owned a bale of cotton ? Of course it is not. expected that every man that ev,-r expects to own another dollar must go to the ware house for it. Neither is it ex pected for every man that does own a bale of cotton to take it to the warehouse. Hut there is a sntlicienr number of men that can take a sulii.jienr amount of cotton and o-her produce there that will d u e a circulating medium of paper cutrency in reach ot every man.

T. plan "you Alliancemen don't mean to form a party of your owudoyouf" Not a bit of it. There are Democrats enough belonging to the Alliance to see that all caudi dates belonging to that party pub licly pledge themselves to favor Alliance principals before we will vote tor them. And Jiepublican Alliancemen will see the same is done in their party. This being done, Democrats aud Republicans when elected will vote together on these principals, as they did in the Hack Pay Dili. This is tba way to harmonize the two parties. We have bad enough party fighting. This kind of business don't pay the farmer. We have arrived to the conclusion that our representatives must vote for principles, when this is done we will have better times in this country and not until then. Let us be true to ourselves, true to our country and above all, true to God. F. D. Shaw. Kichlauds, Onslow Co., 31 ay 21. What i.i the 11-ift . Of All Station.'

Every Saturday morning a crowd of small boys gather about the door of a bakery in Columbia street. The tempta tion is a chance to earn 'fifty cents for a day's work offered by the baker. The small boy is employed to pick over dried cur rants and raisins, to remove the stems from them and cull, out the utterly worthless. But the baker does a little culling among the boys before he employs them, and his mode of selection is original and curious. As each person enters the august and aproned presence of the chief cook he is asked : "Do you know how to whistle. " th- smart, nine noy who is not as truthful as the Father of his Country aud has not posted himself in regard to the civil service recjuireuH-nls of the employment he seeks, unbhish ingly answers "Navv," he does not whistle. No also docs not pick raisins. The next boy is both tr uthful arid p.).st-.:-d, ' He answers the baker's question with a bar from the classical McGinty overture, and is imme diately introduced to the room where with a score of others he is to find engagement. When all the boys who have passed the examination satisfactorily are in their places the baker bring-, iu the bags of raisins and currant. Each boy is given a i.- i . ii a. i - 1 portion aim toiu io wnistie. The wisdom of the baker's scheme is. that as long as there is music floating out from the lips of the urchin there could exist no opportunity for raisins and currants to float in. The scheme works well, at least while the ingenious baker is present. The concert suffers disorganization if he chances to leave the room. His sudden reappearance on such infrequent occasions causes efforts to resume that are pathetic and distressing. If anyone fails to understand the difficulties that the emergency presents, let him fill his mouth full of dried currants and fry to whistle. Brookl vn Eao'le. Economizing St fr Eethliurr. A few years ago farmers in grain growing localities used straw lavish ly for bedding, for making the lar gest possible manure piles. Mow the tendency is to use as little straw for bedding as is consistent with .cleanliness, uut straw mixea witn ground grain makes a valuable feed, the straw furnishing barbonaceous mattor nnd thp meal fri'vinf th 0iAma.a thlf. mntnla aA growth. If corn-meal is nsed it should be mixed with ground oats or wheat barn to make a good feed- i ing ration. Jones County iteitis.
