Every thing Is in readiness for the nnli-Goebcl Democratic State Convention, which is lo tie called to order tomorrow afternoon in the Chautaqua Auditorium for the purpose of nominating a full Democratic Slate ticket In opposition to the Demo cratic State ticket nominated at Louis ville in June. A telegram from Major P. P. Johnson who was until June chairman of the Democratic Stale Central Committee, says he will be present to call the con vention to order if his health permits. Delegates began arriving today, and this afternoon Captain James 1! Clay, who has charge of the work of organizing Ibe new movement, called about 40 of thein together iu conference. After a two hours exchange of views in private they adjourned, and the Btutcmcnt was given out by Captain Clay that the con ference bad agreed on plucing a full ticket in the field. It has been suggested by many anti- Qoebel Democrats that only candidatis for Governor and Lieutant-Governoi.be named, as Goebcl and his candidates for Lieutenant-Governor, W, IT. Ilcckham were the only ones whom the opposition cared lo defeat. Rut in the conference this afternoon It was agreed that "the entire Ooebel ticket is permeated with Goebellsm" and that the men composing it should go down in defeat.

Although the conference lasted long there was no mention of a possible slate and the convention will entor upon lis work with lest log-rolling than any pre vious convention held In this Slate. No in -in seems to want a nomination, the only desire seemin; to be to defeat Goe bcl. It was expected that ex-Govornor John Young Drown, who Is to lie the nominee of tomorrow's convention for Governor, would bo hero and take pari In the conference this afternoon, but he keent this telegram to Captain Clay: "Im possible for me to attend conference this afternoon. There must be t full ticket.'' - It wat ttaled here tonight that the fainting of Goebel at Mayflold Saturday (t part of apian whereby Goobal Is mak ing ready to withdraw from the race on the plea that he It not physically able to make the bruthlng campaign nocenary to win.

The schooner Aaron lteppard went ashore today near Gull Shoals Life Saving Station and is a total wreck. Of the crew of eight men but three were saved.

The following letter published in the Southern Tobacco Journal, explains the situation here and the feeling on the matter of the Danville Warehouse Trust' New Bkrn, N. C, Aug, 1. 1899. Editor Southern Tobacco Journal: The stand taken by the Seuthern To bacco Journal on the Warehouse Trust question is timely and commendable in the extreme. It cal's for the hearty ap proval and gratitude of all, both planters and warehousemen, whose interests were so seriously hazarded by the recent at tempt 10 combine all the tobacco ware houses in the State under the manage ment. Were this done the farmer would be completely at the mercy of the Trut In what he has to sell as he is in wLat he has to buy. Agrcat many of the leading ware houses, we are sorry to learn, were ready and apparently eager to enter the com bine. Eager we say, for with no money in sight they readily gave the trust ui option for thirty days. Should Ibe trust fail in its attempt lo gobble up the entire warehouse business and co.il-ol prices, will not be the fault of these warehouses for they have testified a wi'lingncss to join issues with this dislioyrr of pea c and prosperity which is appalling. There are some warehouses which refused to listen to the siren voice, and preferred to battle on in the interest of t he farmer even though the bait thrown out by this particular trust was tempting. All honor to these men! They should be pointed out and known to the farmer, and if he is opposed to trusts, as he pretends to be the effort to swallow up his interest in such manner will be thwarted. This is the only thing left for him to do. Should he patronize the trust ware- houses, or show no ilillerence in his choice of where he sells, he will simply strengthen the held of that organization, nd by aiding it, cause those warehouses which are independent either to enter the combine or close doors. This is un doubtedly the object ibis trust has in view, viz: to drive all Independent houses to join with it, or fieeze them out. Which will the farmer choose? lie has it in his power to check the Trust's pro gress. Let independent wa' V uses he known by the farmer aud be w ill do the rest. Not least iniong the disreputable acls of these trust warehouses is the effort to make the farmer believe that all other warehouses in their territory are "in the trust, ' to offset, of ceurse, the tide of Indignation and ostracism which is sure ly making agaiuBt them. The Planters' Tobacco Warehouse of New Hern, has been made tho ob ject of such misrepre sentation. Your Journal can do good service for us along this line by prhlish ing the names of all independent ware houses. Tho fighl you are making should enlist the services of all w ho are opposed to trusts, and by concerted action at this time there is no doubt of victory. Success lo your effort. We are proud proud of Jthe patriotism displayed so boldly and fearlessly. We feel that in the Southern Tobacco Journal we have a champion worthy of all confidence, and pray you lo continue the fight so nobly begun. N. H. Stuickt, Owner and Prop. Planters Tobacco Warehouse. Hellnlr Doings. August Hi. We have had two days of wind and rain, general farm operations are some what at a stand still. Cern is blown down where ground was very soft, and with this exception very little damage has been done IhuB far. Some have planted fall potatoes and are borrowing trouble, by expecting tbcm to rot others have not planted. Some of us will plant If dry enough before the first of Ueptem ber and that Is generally early enough. One of the best patches of potatoes grown In our vicinity ls-it year was planted Sept. 8th. The second orop has liccn taken off of tome land and potatoes aud turnips will be put In toon for the third one. Before cabbage were all cutoff peas wore put between the rows and some nice vines with a few matured peas on them have been cul off preparatory to seeding with potatoes antl rutabagas. When we can get In an extra crop of peas we are sure of some forage and also sure of Incrcai Ing fertility In the land. We all wanted to get well up with work this week so e could attend church all next week, serv'.cet are to be protracted at Bunch Grove then, but rain hat prevented the execution of tome of our plant. Perhaps the last good canteloupe lo the neighborhood will be oaten tomorrow for hreakfatt, but such a quantity of watermelons we never had before, some are said U be too thick to walk about among them without stopping on some.
