Tax Contention at Fayetteville '. oa tho 9th was large and enthnsi wesUc, tat a resolution endorsing Senator Vance and instructing the candidates for the Legislature to vote for his re-election to the United j States Senate was tabled. Not-1 withstanding this action of tbe Convention both candidates for tbe House are Vance men. We are told that the Gospel i osiog its power, that tbe ship of Zion is going to wreck. Let U take one illustration of the cou tinned vitality and irrenisU'jlti force of the truth as it ia in Jeu . Fifty years ago tbe Feejee Islanders weie cannibals. Now they are conspicu oualy a Christian people and beside supporting the Gospel among them selves, they contribute $20,000 a year to Foreign Missions. This fact ia worth a thousand arguments of infidels. THE fact is that between the unpopular Tariff bill and tbe in famous Force bill the Republican majority is about demoralized. The Fall Congressional elections will transfer that party from a ma jority party to a minority parly in the Ilouse, and tbe radical gentle men who have transcended all pre cedent in shutting off debate and violating tbe Constitution and par liamentary law, will have a fine opportunity of illustrating their own methods npon tuemsetves n tbe Democrats should choose to apply them. Perhaps one of the best things that could happen for the Democracy woald be further and stronger efforts to pass this bill, or its actual passage. Norfolk Landmark. THSBE is not tbe slightest danger of Senator Vance being "allowed a chance to meditate ou the pleasures of private lite for a sea son," for the people oi norm Carolina, Alliance men and non Alliance men, know Senator Vance too well and appreciate his services too much to entertain for a moment the idea of cilling on any one else to fill the place which he has filled with such distinguished ability, with such credit to himself and such honor to them. There may be a difference of opinion between him and some members of tbe Alliance on certain questions in which they are interested, and a few of tbe more inconsiderate of these might oppose bis re election on this account, but tbey will meet with no encouragement from tbe people of this State, nor this effort if it should be made. In all the essentials, where there is ground to stand upon, the Alliance men who have stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Vance these many years in battling for tbe rights of the people and their protection from unjust exactions, know they have not and can't find within the borders of the State a truer friend nor an abler defender. Wilming ton Star. THE ttEOBGlA COSVENT10X-K0R-THEK3. COOX A.X'D GORDON. We are pleased with the action of the Georgia convention. Tbe nomination of W. J. Northern, for Governor has been claimed as an Alliance victory. It is not an Al liance victory, pure and simple. It is true Captain Northern is a member of the Alliance, but he was a Democrat before tbe Alliance ex isted.He has been before the people of Georgia for more than twenty years and has held many positions of public trust. Indeed we doubt if any Georgian has impressed him self upon the legislation of Georgia in tbe last ten years more than Wm. J. Northern. Ue is no novice in state craft. It will be remembered that for several weeks Captain Northern and Col. Hardeman can vassed the State as rival candi dates for tbe Democratic nomina tion. Eventually Hardeman retired from tbe race, saying, "Bill North ern is as good a Democrat as I am, and I will not stand in the way of union and success.'' We repeat we ape glad Northern is nominated. He is a man ot affairs, thoroughly posted on tbe questions of the day. He stood well in col lege, has succeeded in life and is worthy of any honor bis State can confer upon him. We are equally pleased with the nomination of General Cook for Secretary of State. What soldier of the Army of Northern Virginia does not remember General Phil Cook f North Carolinians know and respect him, for he commanded the Georgia brigade of Kodes division. After the war be served several years in Congress and was succeded by Mr. Crisp. It is gratifying to Southern men and women that the late Georgia convention endorsed the adminis tration of Gov. Gordon. If the Governor baa a fault it is one that makes the people love him more he never hesitated to show his devotion to tbe South, and some times his zeal leads him into indis. ere tion. His advocacy of the boycott was injudicious, but such ndisoretion will never rob him of the love of Georgians. Georgians did right to endorse Gordon, for take him all and ali, he is the noblest Roman of tbem aJl. A piatiorm oi principles was adopted. In brief it reads as fol lows : Tbe Democratic party of Georgia, in convention assembled, hereby renews its pledges to po litical principles set forth in the National Democratic platform ol 1S88. We favor correcting all abuses of tbe government by strict reliance upon the integrity and ability of tbe Democratic party ; we point with pride to the ability and fidelity with which affairs of the State have been managed by our distinguished Governor, John B. Gordon, and other State House officers; we will heartily support the nominee of this convention. and call npon all Democrats to support the party nominations in the various distiics and counties of this State. VANCE AND THE FARMERS Inasmuch as the relation that Vance and the farmers sustain to each other is foremost in tbe minds of the people of North Carolina, we yield our editorial columns to the reixtrt of a speech made by Mr. Vance in the Senate last Satur day : "Tl:e taiiff bill was then taken up, tho question being on Mr. Butler'rt amendment to paragraph 134, page 27, to reduoo the duty on cotton ties to 35 er cent, ad va lorem. "Mr. Vance made an amusing speech in ridicule of the claim that the farmer derived any benefit : Irom the tariff. The manufacturer on woolen goods, he said, who got 75 per cent, protection on his goods said to the farmer, ;If you give me o per cent, protection on my woolen goeos against rngnsn as In China; by beheading, as in and French manntactures 1 will in Switzerland audDenmaik; by give you 25 cents per bushel pro-1 shooting, as in the ordinary cases tection on your wheat, and 10 cents jof military law and in some por- . per bushel protection on your corn ! against hngland,' that does not grow a bushel of corn and doesn't grow one filth of tho wbeat that her people eat. One got cash, and the other promises. Cash was 'the short run' and promises were 'the long run.' Whenever the manufacturer got tired of reaping tbe benefit of tbe bargain on bis side be agreed to let tbe farmer get his 'inning?.' So far the manu facturer had proved remarkably long winded. He had not shown the slightest Bign of being tired. The nature of the bargain between the farmer and the manufacturer was well illustrated "by the offer of one urchin to another : 'Jim, if you give me a bite of your big red apple I will show you my sore toe.' Laughter. If the Senators in sisted on tripling the existing tax on cotton ties, might not, he asked, when some of tbem were on the hustings talking about protection to American labor, some man in the audience Bay with great pro priety, 'that is a lie; you know that you are not for protecting all American labor, for several mil lion bales of cotton are oppressed by a tax three times greater than that imposed upon many other articles.' He confessed that be bated to see a new industry rise in this country, because it was sure to be pauper saddled on the Treas ury." "Mr. Hoar inquired whether that feeling applied to industries al ready existing!" "Mr. Vance replied that it did not. He hoped to see, before he died, American manufacturers dourish just as American agricul-J turists flourished. 'Prophets and kings desired it long, but without sight.' He hoped to see tbe Ameri can- manniactnrers nourisn oy ine sweat of their brows and by their over honest industry, instead of by tbe sweat of the brows of his people and of their honest indus try. Every time that a new mine was discovered or new industry established, it was immediately fostered upon the public treasury, and now, for fear lest there might come a king woo anew not Josepn in other words a Democratic majority, which did know tbe people, it had been thought neces sary to provide by tbe last will and tee tarn eat of the Eepublican Con gress for such paupers as might hereafter be born in lawful wed lock to that community; or, in unlawful wedlock either. So there Was to be an opening made for some manafacture ot cotton ties to be established, and it was said to be the dnty of Senators not to provide for the infant when it came, but to provide for it before it came. Who, he asked, as was to be the recipient of taxation on cotton ties before that infant was born and baptized T There was no way, he declared in which the proposed increase of dnty on cotton ties could be looked at that was defensible not a single solitary one. Tbe most deserving, because the most useful, in a commercial point of view, of all agricultural products of the United States, was taxed to death in all processes of its growth and production, and was then taxed a farewell shot, as the bale left the gin house, of 103 per cent, on ties that enveloped it, and and this is not for the benefit of American manufacturers of cotton ties, for there were none, and not for tbe benefit of tbe treasury, for the bill was one to reduce revenue, but out of pure 'cussedness,' and because the Republican party bad got so used to taxing things that they could not stop." Stonewall Items. Died in this place on the ISth ult., Maggie, the little daughter of J. B. Hattie, aged one year, of con gestion of tbe brain T. A. Powers, the contractor for our Bayboro and Stonewall high school building, has about com pleted, and from appearances he has made an excellent job, and W. A. Kedditt is applying the paint brush, and in a short while it win do reaay lor service, ana a better job both carpenter's and painter's is seldom equaled. W. A. Uedditt, while at work on the inside painting upstairs, got pain fully hurt. The stage on which be was standing gave way and be fell a distance of 17 or 18 feet to the lower floor, but luckily was not seriously hurt, and was all right and at work in three or four days. I have just arrived from a trip to Aurora, and it was a gratifying sight to see the crops looking so promising. Corn is safe for an abundant yield, and the prospect for cotton was never equaled. The fear is a storm and worms, and if they are escaped I believe that the South Creek section and Pamlico county will be sure of an average of 450 lbs. per acre. Mr. Lamb Brown and many others will be sure of 500 or GOO lbs. lint cotton per acre. It is well worth a trip to the farms of Messrs. Joe Peed, H. H. Brown, L. M. Brown, Alex, Cuthrell and in fact all that section of Beaufort county and the whole of Pamlico. So just all come who wish to see what our section can do. We are open for inspection. Blood Poison. Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or face with poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is perspiring freely. The trouble rnay sub side for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when oppor tunity offers. The great puri fying powers of Hood's Sarsa- parilJa thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accomplished conclusively show. it also cures scrofula, salt rheum and all other affections arising from impure or poisoned blood. KtHMLtlt A FIONKEK. THE VAKIOl'S METHODS ( 1 CIAL KILLING SO F The wretch who died in Auburn prison the other day was pioneer. His death inaugurated a new meth od of judicial killing. Since history began men are known to have been killed, under the law, by thirty five methods that one employed recently being the lat. The list of offences which were punishable by death has grown smaller since the time of Moses, when thirty three acts of crime and indiscretion were capital offence, and the ways of meting out doath have d.miinshen until, in substance, excutions at tho present day are either ly the guillotine as in France, Uavaiia, Hanover, Belgium, and Saxony : by the garroto, as in Spain ; by de capitation or hanging, as in llusi.i ; hv srrancn ation or ( ecaint.t h:i. " : . . .. 1 tion of Germany and South Amen ca: by decapitation, as in 1'russia, and in other countries, and par ticularly in the United States, universally by hangiDg, that being the old common law method of execution inherited by the colonies from Great Britain. Time was away back in the e iis human blood was held literally ho cheap that a mnrderer might buy back his life, as in China, where dread of death was so f-light and life so worthless that there are re corded iustances in which substi tutes' were bought by a bonus to their families to undergo the penal ty of death instead of tbe murderer. In England, down to 1S.52, house breaking and horse stealing were capital crimes, and not until so late as 1801 was the gamut ofcapi tal crime narrowed to two ofFencee, mnrder and treason. In Massa chusetts, in 1()50, seventeen of fences weie I'unished with death ; 140 years later there were only four of the origin-il reventeen: and to day the ol.l State etaiids with her lellows in the Iit of extreme sins. In the time while Massachusetts was killing obstinate children and persons who swore William Penn was founding the State of Pennsyl vania. At tuat time tuo eartn Knew of 200 capital ollVnces, buu Penn cut down the list when making the laws of the now keystone State to one murder. And here are the means employed under the law since history began of killing State criminals : 1. Auto da J meaning "act of faith," used at the public execu tions of persons coudemned to death upon trial anil sentenced by the Spanish Inqnisition. (A designa tion rather thau a mode.) 3. Beating With Clubs. In very early times South African tribes, particularly the Hottentots, who had no written laws only the laws of usage put their condemned to death with clubs, the chief of the kraal or village striking the first blow and the popnlace ending the execution. Greek slaves also were beaten to death. 3. Beheading, Decapitation. The Greeks and Komans cut the beads off their capital offenders. John Baptist died thus. Earl Waltheof, beheaded by William the Conqueror in 1075, was the first Englishman to die by behead ing, which was deemed the most honorable way of receiving capital punishment. The rebel lords of 1745 were the last to dio thus in England. China and Japan cm ployed this method of capital pun ishment, and do now. Swords and axes, as distinguished from the guillotine, were used in olden days. 4. Blowing from cannon. Death thus came to criminals bound before the cannon's mouth, or thrust into the bore and tired out aa part of tbe load. India. 5. Boilng. The Bishop of Rochester, in 1531, was poisoned by his cook, John Koose, and liooBe was boiled to death. Several exe cutions took place by boiling under Henry VIII., water being usuillj the fluid, also melted lead and sulphur. 6. Breaking on the Wheel. Germany contrived this mode ol death away back in the tenth cen tury. It was, however, only a special form of beating to death. The prisoner was bound upon the periphery or upon the cross-bars or spokes of a wheel, and arms and limbs were caushed by blows of bludgeons or iron rods, the vitals being untouched. Thus death was slow. France and England also used the wheel in the sixteenth century. 7. Burning The fagots of death first burned in the name of re ligion, though civil governments have employed flames as execu tioners instance the Komans and Jews of ancient times. The old Britons punished heinous crimes by burning the offenders in wicker baskets. This form of death was suffered in the colonial times ol this country. Chinese Emperor Tcheon, instigated by his favorite concubine, adopted a brass cylin der upon which criminals were bound and roasted by tires within the cylinder. Scti II, Shah ol Persia, stretched victims upon a slab, bored innumerable holes in their bodies, in the holes lighted tapers were inserted in thud oil. A Gallic and British method was to burn criminals in cages ot wicker-work in the form of some well known idol. 8. Burning Alive. Barbarous tribes and civilized countries have buried criminals to the hips, or to the neck and shoulders, then they were beaten to death or left tc starve. 9. Crucifixion. The exact ori gin of the cross is in doubt. Semi ramis is credited with its ineven tion. It is held, also, to have been a gradual growth among bar barous tribes as a cruelty of war. Nearly all records say its use was very ancient and very general among all communities but the Jews. Crucifixion was abolished for Christian countries by the Emperor Constantine, and at the present day its nse is confined to the Mohammedans. A punishment analogous to crcuifixion was onre practiced in the West India Islands. Tbe offender was suspended upon a post by a hnge hook inserted under his shoulder or under his breast bone. 10. Decimation. Visited upon military offenders, notably muti neers. A whole regiment might be involved, and death to all would have been slaughter. The mas- sacree of a whole regiment might not be wise on the eve of battle. Every tenth man was chosen in a mutinous troop for death upon a given occasion. None knew at the fatal discbarge who was to fall, thus the entire trcop was kept under terror of death until an en- tire command I cimated. should have de- . 1 1L Dichotomy. The operation j the cord, 1 electricity, in 29 execu AU known. ;of cutting in two parts bisecting, i tions are public and in 7 they are tamiliar in Bible record, mil also : a Babylonian custom 1 - Dismemherment. Tearing the body forcibly asunder, as in the case of Jtavaillac, who assassin ated llenrv IV. in 1G10. Not so much a distinct made of punis men t as an atrocious accompani- . ment of a death penalty. Drawing and quartering was an adjunct. 13. Drowning. Syria, Greece,! Rome, nml Persia employed thisi method in former times. The! usage was to weight the body and ' then ca-t it into deep water. The j Duke of Clarence, who protested , against unjust acts ot his brother, ; Hlwaid IV., u is said, was: drowned in a butt ot Malmsey wine. 14. EXI'USI'UK TO W ILD 15KASTS. Bible records tell of this method, and in Oriental countries this form of death is said not to be obsolete Thirty ears ago Biilish prisoners were delivered to a den of serpents by Sepoys. In Cochin China adulterous women were trampled to death by an elephant trained for the purpose. 15. Flaying Alive. Stripping the tkin from the body ot the condemned while he yet lived was . formeily done in England. It was scarcely regarded as a punishment in the judicial sense. 1G. Flogging Knout. This1 means of inflicting death included , the forms of scourging and whip ping and was primarily ued hi European countries Russia sti.i uses the Unouf tu hill criminal sawug the vitals for the Una! ' strokes. 1 7 ,C ARliOTE. this mods Of c.Xee.i i tion teems to ha o been original : devised by the Moors and Arab-,, i and to have been taken f ront fen j by the Spaniards, tiom whom ir nas been transmitted to i lie bp i . colonics in America. In the -.m est form it consisted in iii.,.' placing a cord round the u rk ui the criminal, who was seated on ; chair fixed to a post, and ilieu twisting the cord by means ol a stick inserted between it and the back of the neck until strangulation was produced. Afterwards a brass collar was used, containing a screw which the executioner turned till its point entered the spinal marrow where that unites with the brain, eausing instantaneous death. This method was seriously considered by the commission, which prepared a new form of capital punishment this State and which chose the electric bolt instead. IS. GUILOTINE Decapitation by means cf an instrument first urged, if not invented, by Dr. Ignacd Gullitin. of Lyons, France, to supplant the axe and block. Guillotin bimselt barely escaped death by his own machine duriug the reign of terror. The neck of the criminal is fastened between two grooved poste, down which shoot a heavy knife, the section being made at the root of the neck In 17D3 twenty-one Girondists wero dispatched in thirty-one minutes. At a later date it was the boast or a French executioner that he disposed of sixty-two subjects in forty-five minutes. Germany, the Netherlands, Rome, Italy, England, and Scotland have each used the guillotine or like instru ments since 1551, France using it now. Hanging. This method was probably introduced iu the Roman dominions soon after Emperor Canstantine abolished crucifixion. 20. Haki Kari. A curious panishment attributed to Japan, it consists in the condemned man disemboweling himself by ripping his abdomen open with swords thrusts, first upwards, then across It is said this ia done in obedience to a judicial sentence. Other statements are that the criminal, pending proceedings against him, is given the option of thus commit ting suicide, in which case bis family, and not the State, may enjoy his property. IV. Impalement. The subject was thrust downward upon the point of a spear fastened in the ground. In Siam a stake of wood was driven lengthwise through the body of the criminal, the point coming out at the stomach or shoulders. The body was then lifted and tho stake was driven into the earth. 22. Iron Maiden. A contriv ance for causing death by sheer compression. Used iu Scotland. 23. Peine Forte et Dure. This consisted in placing upon the chest a weight that should suffice to gradually reduce the breathing to a minimum. Not strictly a capital punishment, but a means ol compelling accused to plead to in dictment. 24. Poisoning. Death caused by poisinous drugs. The death of Socrates made the mode familiar. 25. Pounding in a Mortar. The Bible is held as authority for the use of such means of death. 20. Precipitation. Romans cast criminals to death from moun tainous projections. 27. Pressing to Death. Bending together of the legs to the thighs, the thighs on to the belly, and the pressure applied till the criminal had no form save that of a globe. Also pressute between iron plates. 28. The Hack. Chiefly used as an instrument of torture, the limbs being torn from their sockets by means of windlasses. 29. Running the Gauntlet. A military punishment most lami liar in Russia. The coudemned passed between two rows of soldiers each of whom was forced to strike the naked offender with a rod or whip. An authenticated case in volved 2,61fJ strokes to produce death, tho subject beiDg torn to shreds. 30. Shooting. Method of exe cuting millitary offenders. 31. Stahbing. A millitaiy method ol killing iu Rome, France, and Germany. Tho subject was made the centre of a circle of spearsmen, who, narrowing tneir circle, finally filled the coudemned with spearheads. 32. Stoning. A Mosaic form of inflicting death. 33. Strangling. By the bowstring, as in the laud of the Ottoman; by the cord, as in Portu gal and China, and by immersion in mud or clay, after which the cord was tightened, as done by the an cients. 34. Suffocation. Among the Persians, by shutting the criminal in a tower, where a wheel constant- J ly cast up ashes about him. In j Algiers criminals were smoked to : death. 35. Electrocuting. For the! first time in history upon Kemmler at Auburn. Ten powers or States today use the guillotine, 19 the sword, 3 the gallows, 2 the muskefc. 1 the axe. 1 pi ivate. Tin Longest Day. It is quite important, when speaking of the longest day in the year, to say what part of tbe world we are calking about, aa ill be seen by reading the following list, which tells the length of the longest day in several places. How unlortunato are the children in tornea, Finland, where Christmas Day is less than three hours in length. At Stockholm, Sweden it is eighteen and one half hours in length. At Spitzbergen the longest day is three and one half months. At London, England: and Bre- men, j. lussia, iub longest uay nas sixteen and one half hours. At Ilamgurg, in Germany, and 1 1 . i i . -, , l Dantzig, in Prussia, tho longest day has seventeen hours. ! A t- hn.i. X- . - . I. i longest day lasts from May 21 to July 22, without interruption. ! At St, Petersburg, Russia, and Toblosk, Siberia, the longest day is nineteen hours, and the shortest five hours. At Tornea, Finland, June 21 brings a day nearly twenty-two i ?"

A PUOL1FIC FAHILV uiatroiii Contributions of tlie Camn to the Census Returns. Dalton, Ga., Aug. 5. "Are you descended from one of the twenty-three?" is one of the first questions asked when you intro duce Mr. Camp to Mr. Camp, which is explained as follows: Thomas Camp, of Rutherford county, N. C, had ten sons and one daughter by his first wife. He married again, as his second wife. Miss Margaret Carney, of North Carolina, and had by her ten sons and two daughters. Then he died. The twenty three children of Thomas Camp were, as might have been ex pected, a prolific and stalwart race. Only one of them, a daughter, however, approached the fathers record. She had twenty-two children. At a reunion a few years ago in Douglas county, Ga., fully three thousand persons were present. Yesterday at the resi dence of the late Major William A. Camp, near Dalton, Ga., assembled all of nis seven sons and their descendants in a family reunion, the occasion being their mother's seventieth birthday. Mr. W. A. Camp, of Augusta, Ga., is compiling a record of the descendants of his great grand father, Thomas Camp, of North Carolina, and wishes all the Camps to write, him a history of their branch of the tree. Confidence In Vance. HOOKERTON, N. C, Aug 3. Thejfollowing resolutions were adopted by the Ormandsville sub-Alliance, No. 472, at its first meeting in August 1S90, with the request that you publish the same. Yours respectfully, J. A. Ld wards, Jr., Sec'y. Whereas, the Farmer's Alli ance is not a political organiza tion and under its constitution as a body should not have anything to do with partisan politics; and whereas, its membership consists of indi viduals from different political parties, and whereas, we urge against any class feeling or legislation, and whereas, the editor of the Progressive Farmer in the 8th of July number has seen fit to make, as we think, an unjust and also an injudicious attack upon our honest and well tried friend, Senator Z.

SENATOR VANCE'S LETTER. The letter of Senator Vance of the Hth inst, addrcssscd to a gentleman of (ioldsboro in reply to an inquiry as to what changes he made in tho sub-Treasury bill before introducing it. is timely, and we hasten to give it to miv readers. The clause of the Constitution to which the Senator refers is as follows: "Ho (the President) shall nominate, and by and with the consent of the Senate shall apQjjnt ambassadors. other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court and all other otji -, , v -0f the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for ;)n(i. , - ' , , llshccl r which law. shall be estab ( 'onress appoint- But the vest tin mav la w ment of . uch infei'i' r oflicers as i pr ier, in the the courts of ids of depart j," .,. ., , ... 1LBl,u . ll law vv 111 1,1 ments." Here from tlu is the letter as- taken (joldsburo Arcrus : ! 2nd inst. , has been received. take Pleasure in answering it. take pleasure in j but I am compelled for want of time to bij very brief. The bill as l'ulk and Macule 1 handed it to me contained a pro vision that the supervisors of warehouses who were to be agents of the Treasury Depart ment, should h" elected by the qualified voters of each county wherein the warehouse was to he situated. I did change that and provided that they should be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Please get a copy of tho Constitution and look at the second clause of Section Article 2, and you will see why. There is no greater danger to the good cause of the farmers than that it should be entrusted to the management of leaders who could not frame a bill without directly violating in this way the plain language of the Constitution so plain, in fact that a schoolboy cannot misunderstand it. I made no other changes in the bill except to change the word sub-Treasury and substitute '"bonded agricul tural warehouses,'' for the reason that there is an old political prejudice against that name sub-Treasury. Those who charge me with thus changing the provision of the bill iu order to make it unpopular are guilty of falsehood and absurdity. I was and am friendly to the pur poses of the bill, and to every thing that the farmers wish that can be granted them within the fundamental law of my country. If their cause is wisely directed it will triumph as sure as there is justice upon earth. It is a pity that it should be handi capped at the very start by a measure so unconstitutional and impracticable. May God give them wisdom to do right and succeed. I thank you for your kind expressions for me personally. Vcrv truly vours, Z. B. Vance. The Cliolcn-. Increasing MuttDy In the Army Corps. Cairo, Aug. 8.
