Rai.kkhi, December 21 The Farmers State Alliance is called to meet at Llills boro, December 20. It will settle finally the question of whether the shoe factory shall continue in operation. It appears that Alliaucemen are to a very small ex tent patronizing their own shoe factory. At one time, about ISTs), the Alliance was declared to have 104,000 members. Now it hardly has 5,000. Then its State business agency did a business reported to be over $(100,000 a year. This has also greatly fallen off. The Populist lenders are at last mak ing the official acknowledgement in their organs of the fact that a crisis has ar rived in the affairs of their party in North Carolina. They say it is a condi tion and not a theory which confronts the party, and that the sooner it is real ize 1 the better. A Fayettevillo syndicate has obtained a lease of 40 000 acres of land on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway, for the purpose of making it a great game preserve. Judge Purnell says the preient term of Federal Court here breaks all the re cords as to the size of the docket There were over four hundred criminal cases docketed. In February he may hold a special term to try civil cases. The United tilutes court ollh i;i!s here say that as to prosecutions for intimida tion in connection with the recent elec tion they only know of the Kirhinond county cases, in which the defendants arc eleven negroes, charged with intimi dating a Democratic nivjro. Iievenuc Collector Duncan, who runic up fron. Iieaufort says: "i'tie present oyster season is by far the higgrsl North Carolina lias ever known The big pa.-k er, A. liootli, lias started a branch at Iieaufort, and is employing a great num lier of people. Some years ago dredging was absolutely prohibited and this killed the oyster business, but now ilie law per mits dredging, under limitations, and the Hallimore packers an I those from other cities also, are establishing plants liusi n'ess is lively, oysters plentiful and line '' A number of lli-i Dem n r.itic Slate committee, on the line of work the Legis lature, which meets January 4, will do said: "I think we will be obliged to have a constitutional convention The mat ter, above all, to be considered, is the regulation of the negro vote We prom ised in the campaign Hint then! should b ' no abridgement of the suffrage unless by a vote of the people. We will carry jul that promise in good faith." "The n alter next In impoi lance is the division of the public school fund eiputa bly between the races. As it now stands the distribution is most unjust, as Hie negro who pays only three percent cf the lax gets over thirty per tent of the grant! total. There Is no justice at all In the present pro rata distribution. "The matter third in Importance is the proper regulation of county government ml also municipal government, so that we can it once reap the benefits of w hit. supremacy. I believe that counties will be given the choice whether they will lect their magistrates or whether the Legislature shall elect." ftl grot HttTlMM Out. Com miii v, S. ,('., December '.!)

The following resolution wa unanimously adopted at a meeting today ef Atlanta Camp, United Con'edera'e Veterans: " I'hai thU camp hereby offers to onr 1'iesident its sincere thanks and appre lijtion for his manly, patriotic andChris tisn sentiments expressed among us In regard to the graves of our dead com rades, and also to our living members, thus obliterating sectionalism and heal ing the wounds of the post and making one grand United States again." A copy of the reaolution will be mail ed to President McKinley. Dcnuyi k, Iowa, Dec. 20. Hyde Park Post, O. A. K, has unanimously Indorsed President McKinley't Atlanta declara tion that the time has arrived when the federal goverment should assist the Southern States in caring for the graves of the Confederate dead. A copy of the resolutions was tele graphed to the President. Hyde Park Post is said te be the first in the country to act on the President's proposition. Lancartj:h, Pa., Dec. 20. Stevens Post, No. 517, G. A. R., of Lititz, has in dorsed the i resident's speech relating to the government caring for the graves of the Confederate dead, and has requested Congressman Brosius to use his influ ence to bring about national legislation to carrj into elfect ihe President's senti ments. PRESIDENT RETURNS. At IlnnlH in WHMhluaioit Alter Ills Werh'a I rii. I'brouab Noutn. I'lPHM i hi II ! It-r'tln. Washington, December 20. The President and members of his cabinet re turned to Washington this morning, after a week's tour of the south, greatly Impressed with the conditions which they found to prevail and enthusiastic over the reception accorded at every point visited. In the President's private car this morning ihe entire ofilci.il party expressed their satisfaction at the spirit of devotion to the country manifested by the Southern people anil the cordiality and hospitality with which tho President had been received. While the President's visit to the south was principally to attend Ihe At lanta peace jubilee, he was anxious to lake advantage of Ihe occasion to express some sentliuents regarding the two sec tions of the count ry which he believed Could be delivered with greater effect on such an occasion. The ovation given him at Atlanta, where his first address w : s delivered, and when he re'erred to the Confederate dead, encouraged him to dwell frequently and at considerable length on what he termed the "unilica tion of the country" as a result of the late war. There is no doubt that the President h is added to ids popularity in the south, lie has made many friends there. Demo crats of long standing were heard to say that, while they had never voted the Republican ticket in their lives, they would lie tempted now to vote for It In view of the President's declaration that the nation should caro for the Confeder ate dead. Probably one hundred Demo crats were heard to express this senll uieut, but with the ladies of the south there was not the enthusiasm over the President's visit that might have been expected. A cough is not like a fever. It does not have to run a certain course. Cure it quickly and effectually with One Mln u'e Cure, the best remedy for all aget i id for the most severe cases.

Journal Bcrrat. ) Kaleigh, N. C, December 22. ( It ia iiow said that the sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad which takes place December 29, may result in that road going to the Southern Rail road. The minimum price will be $2, 000,000. It was thought once that the Seaboard would be the purchaser, but that road will not buy. The Coast Line also has an eye on the road. Pension warrants are coming in rapid ly for payment. State Treasurer Worth has so far paid out $10,501. The total amount of pension money to be paid out this year is $120,000. The State Board of Public Charities began its annual session today. It wih take two (lays possibly to finish up the business, for the report of the secretary, Capt. Denson, of the condition of every prison in State as well as the asylums, etc., will necessarily be very long, and the report of the board to the General Assembly will be made up from his re port. The special committees appointed by the penitentiary board to examine Ihe conditions of the penitentiary farms left yesterday. The alliance men are not patronizing the shoe factory at Ilillsboro established by the State Alliance, so a meeting of the Farmers State Alliance is called to meet at Ilillsboro on the 2iith to finally settle whether the factory should con tinue operations. The Alliance in this State once had 100,1X1!) members, but it has fallen off so that the membership now is only about 500(1. There are many applicants for the Railway Conimissioncrship. Only the be3t men ought to he appointed, for il is a very responsible ollice. The examinations at the Agricultural and .Mechanical College w hich has been in progress are about completed. All the post'ollice employees all over thecjuntry will on January 1st have to be bonded direct by the government. The letter carriers have already been so bonded. Federal court adjourned here yester day, sending H convicts to penitentiary, and :1 to jail. There is a great demand for good cot ton here. Owing to the laic picking, Ihero will be a larger quantity of stained cotton here. The fogs that caused so much disaster in being the cause of rail road disasters north, seem to be prevalent nil over the country, for here in Raleigh they are so heavy that the big electric lights twinkle liko tiny stars and one cannot seo across Iho streets.

I Washington, December 21. --One of the most interesting cruises undertaken i by an American warship in years begins with the dcpnr'tire of the Wilmington i from the Norfolk navy yard tomorrow. The Wilmington is under order to ex plore waters and visit settlements which have never before see'i the colors from a United States naval vessel. The object of the voyage is to open up. if possible, closer commercial relations between several South American countries and the United States. The Wilmington will be gone about a year. She will first visit the important ports of the West Indies, after w hich she is to proceed directly south to the Orinoco river and go up as far as racticablc. This river will admit ships of the Wil mington class several hundred miles, and it is proposed to go just as far as the safety of the vessel will permit. The catives along the shores will be invited to eugage in trade with this country, and to look after the diplomatic end United States Minister Loomis will accompany the vessel by order of the State Depart ment. The voyage completed, the Wilming ton will enter far into the interior of South America, proceeding hundreds of miles up the great Amazon. She will go so far, indeed, lhat she will possibly be nearer the Pacific coast than the Atlantic when she linally turns back. Visits will b.' made to the seaport cities of llraz.il and Uruguay, and then the Rio tie la Plata will be entered as far as it is prac ticable to go. RISKED THEIR LIVES.
