The gold stai dard is the original republican policy. It was honest old John Sherman and his re publicans with the democratic minority that f-aved the c iiiulry. 'I h;i mccess of Generul Hnrdiu," said he, "means that Kentucky will send free silver demo crats to tho ut xt national democratio convention. Yon will drive out Wet terson and Grover Cleve'and." The appearance of General Hardin was the signal for the multitude to come to its feet. It was plain thatthe oominon people resulted the imperti nence of tho Louisville, tahal. After discussing state matters. General Har din, turning to Colonel l'r(lb-y,said : "I am iu no right with democrats. It i you and the rest ( f your party that I am fighting.

The conference was behind cb s" 1 dorrs, but it is known that thii con tingency was nottren considered. Al thoiiudi most of the candidates wi re claimed by the goldbiigs as single gold standard men, all the nominee advo cated standing by General Ilnrdiu in bis construction of the platfoim. 'I he rnsjoritr of the state committee a!a nrged Ihit the only course to be pnr mid now was to give the ticket united support, regardless of the currency itue. The only formal action taken by tin confer.-nco was the appoiritnvnt off committee to prepare u addles lo tb demncratic voters of Ihe ttate, explain ing the p( rilon position of the parly and urging all to work and vote for the entire ticket. This special committee Consists of Charles K. Long, cliairm in of the state committee; Grey Woodson, of Oaclishoro; Hanson Kennedy, ol N ieholss county, and H. P. Thompson, of Clark county.

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture, baa just published in the August Bulletin the following summary of the condition of the crops in thin State compiled from data sent in by the thousand correspondents during the mouth. It will be noted that some improve ments are reported, but the general condition remains about as in July. The climatic conditions since the July report have beeu iu the main entirely favorable, over the State, and this fact lias relieved to somo extcntappro hensious on the part of some farmers, indulged a month ago. But, as to conditions perhaps Bice shows the least progress; in deed it is reported 1-2 of a point be low its July record, which waa 81 1-2, but (hero is lime yet for this crop to come out. Corn.

One Called to Meet September 11th. The Call Presents a BUI of Charges. A call for a negro State convention has been issued, the date being Sep tember 11th, It saya that the negroes have certain things they desire to say to the people of the State generally along the lines of industrial, educa tional and political welfare, and be lieve the present to be the most oppor tune time to give expression to their desires, it being between elections and time free from political excitement. It is asserted that it will be the most important gathering of negroes that has taken place since' tii.-nr freedom. They desire to say to the politicians of the State what they should do for the negroes, who compose three-fourths of the voting population of the Repub lican party, 'Tho call says: "We desire to use that vote intelli gently, so that the results of our voting may redound In benefit to the whole race, rather than to a few men who at tempt to lead our race to get places fir themselves. We want a larger appro priation for colored schools. We want a colored man appointed or nominated to some office of dignity or honor in the State . We want an eqnal distribution of the smaller offices among colored and white alike. We realize that if we leave this matter to the average politician we can never get tho recognition demanded. Now is the time to speak in no uncertain way, so that those who expect our votes will give us consideration. We have been voting thirty years, and although the men we vote for get elected, we are not benefited. The only way of remedying this evil, is in nnion and the expression of the best sentiment of our people in the State." THE STATE'S FIRST NEW BALE. It Was Sold at Morven, Anson County, and Brought 8 Cents. A new bale of cotton, the first in the State, was sold at Morven on Thurs day. It weighed 558 pounds and brought 8 cents. It was raised by Steve West on J. L, Fratt's place. J. M. Hardison was the buyer. September Cotton Short. The September cotton report will not be so good as that of August, so it was officially learned at the Agncul tnral Department. The persistantlow ering of the average of condition forces the conviction that the crop will be short for the amount of land in culti vation and also short in the number of acres needed. It is said that cool nights have done a great deal to cause the falling off. The Lexington Cotton Mill is work' ing over time to keep up with orders, All the machinery for the large now Sterling Cotton Mill at Franklinton has been ordered. A new cotton mill is to be built nt Xewton, Muj. Finger 1 being one of tho principal stockhold- ' O 1 . ers. ,e nuns are to no iittiii witinu a few months at Salisbury and Hillsboro.

Rich paying dirt has been discovered iu the Heed mine, Cabarrus county, panning out SI -55 a ton. This is the famous mine out of which the largest nugget of gold ever found was taken just after the war.
