A WISE BODY.

So far as we can Judge, the proceedings of
the Farmers Alliance at Fayetteville last
week were characterized by the highest
wisdom. They made but one demand
upon the Legislature and that is the de-
mand the CHRONICLE has been making
since its foundation, viz: for the establish
ment of Railroad Commission. We be-
lieve that the next Legislature will not
dare to let this demand go unheeded.
The Alliance has from the first been wise
in the selection of its chief officer. CAPT.
S. b. ALEXANDER, who has been President
for two years, is man of affairs, Of pro
gressiye conservatism, of wisdom, and of
fine common sense. Moreover he is a
man of ability and large experience. He
is succeeded by Mr.. ELIAS CARR, of Edge
combe, gentleman whom We have long
known and regarded as one of the most
successful of Eastern North Carolina
farmers. He is we'll read and few men are
better posted on all public questions. He
is a gentleman of character, independence
Of thought and action, and of sound
sense Like CAPT. ALEXANDER he believes
in the maxim make haste slowly" He
Is no theOrlst-nO dreamer-nO agltatOr
He sees and understands the needs of the
farmers of the State and he will give the
wisest direction to the affairs of the ALI
ance and seek to continue it as the great
est agency we have for the progress of the
State, the betterment of the condition of
the farmers, and the teaching Of needed
economic lessons.
We note that our friend Coz. THOMAS
+. Lone, Of Bnncombe, a Republican, was
elected lecturer. OF course he will preach
the glorious gospel of tariff for revenue.
| The Constitution requires 1.-THE Alliance
demands it-and the lecturer will fulfill
his duties We rather think that Col.
LONG differs with his party anyhow on the
tariff question, and believes in tariff re-
/ form. II so, we'll. If not, he ought tc
| spend a week with President CARR and
Secretary Polk, and if they can't convert
! him 50 that he will be thorough tariff
reformer, then he is dyed in the WOO
protectionist aud is in the wrong pew. He
is one of the cleverest men we ever knew
and We hope he will invite US to hear him
address the Alliance upon the subject
The Iniquities Of Projections" or How
Protection Keeps the Farmers Poor"
The other officers are admirably suited
so far as we can Judge, for the duties they
are to perform.

A CARD.

My attention has been called to the fol-
lowing article in Webster's Weekly of
August 18th:
"We learn from the most reliable au-
thority that DR.. Fuller, First Assistant
Physician at the Raleigh Insane Asylum,
congratulated DR.. Grissom on his acquit-
tai after the trial, saying that his sym
pathies were with him during the trial,
and that the cause of the trial was DR..
Grissoms disregard of his (Fuller's) pro-
test in making Rogers Second Assistant
Physician
/ feel it to be my duty to enter my pos
tive and emphatic denial to the above
statement. | never, at any time, ex
tended congratulations to DR.. Grissom
upon his acquittal, or said to him, or to
any one else, that my sympathies were
with him during the trial. Neither did |
say that the trial was because my wishes
We're disregarded, nor did protest against
the election of DR.. Rogers as Second As
sistant Physician, for the best of reasons,
viz: because DR.. Rogers was elected be-
fore | knew anything of it. After the
election l did say to DR.. Grissom that

nected account of the trial. | under

for the defense as endorsing such use of
mechanical restraints as We're referred to

of service at the asylum I have never
practiced restraint as a matter of pun

believe in the policy of nonrestra mt, not

mechanical restraint exceeding three

How Intelligent omen Decide.

When the question has to be put as to
what Is the best course to adopt to secure

those organic diseases and weaknesses
which atllict the female sex, there is but
one wise decision, viz, a course of self
treatment with DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Pre-

Recommended Suitable Man for
President of the Agricultural College.


President OF the Agricultural College.
Especial Cor. of STATE CHRoSICLE.l
The Board of Agriculture and the Board
Of Directors of the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts after eecting the mem
bers of the faculty for the new college ad
journed without electing President. They
desired to survey the field and select the
best man. AS an original quiet friend Of
the college have been looking about for
a man who would fill the bill. 1t Is big
bill to fill. \ mere scholar Will not do,
though the President must be scholar.
4 mere farmer will not do, though be must
understand agriculture A mere chemist
Will not do, though he ought 10 understand
chemistry. \ mere mechanic will not do,
though be must have some knowledge of
industrial pursuits and some aptitude. He
must add TO all these things executive
ability and he ought to have some expert
ence.
think have found the ideal man for
the place in the person of DR.. b +. Dixon,
Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asy-
lum. He is modest Christian gentle
man, patriotic North CarOllnian. and
man of collegiate training and accurate
scholarship He is one of the few men in
the State who knows something of the
aims and purposes of the college from Ex-
E.
to establish industrial training at the Or
phan Asylum and his deep interest IN and
love for industrial education eminently fit
him for the place. He has visited nearly
every first class Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College III the United States and fa-
miliariZed himself with their workings. He
has not had a fair chance to show what he
could do in Industrial training al the Or
phan Asylum, but he has demonstrated
his LOVE for it and his BELIEF in it for
North Carolina boys and his CAPACITY to
impart it. No man in North Carolina has
a better knowledge of the wants of our
young men He has travelled all over the
State, and he knows the condition of all
the people and can make the college fill
their need. This knowledge of the State
would be of great value to him if he should
be elected President of the college.
There are two other qualifications he
possesses IN large measure that would be
needed. The first is executive ability.
When only 16 years old he had control of
company of old veterans and even since
has had much to do with managing men
and boys. He is master hand at it. He
could get all the appropriations needed
from the legislature He knows men and
how to manage them. The second other
requisite is his personal magnetism.
have never known man to possess more.
He is a delightful man and inspires boys
to do their best. They all-(and every
| body, young and old)-love him and ad-
mire him and follow him. AS President
he would enthuse every boy under him
and by enthusiasm and good example get
good work out of him. That is an admir-
able trait in a college President
| A scholar without pretense; { hristian
without cant; a worker without fuss; a
leader of men and boys without bluster
an earnest man without over zeal; a con-
servative man without fogyism-he is the
ideal man for President of the college.

The Backbone OF the Baptist Church
Elizabeth City Economist.

But the back bone of the Baptist church
in North Carolina, under Divine provi-
deEce, is the Biblical Recorder in Raleigh
The Baptist church here would be under
a dark cloud if the Recorder should, by
any misfortune, be stopped or suspended.
And if Brother Bailey will skip this SEN
tence or shut his eyes, we will say this:
that no other Baptist in North Carolina
could hold the helm of the Recorder with
as steady, as discreet, as able, as kind and
as stalwart hand as be. Therefore we
say in all Difference to our Baptist friends
that just as they add to the strength of

WHEREAS, The tiled recess Of our
Lodge has again been invaded by the
dread messenger, whose advance no
one can oppose. The setting maui
has fallen and we behold another va
cant chair The emblems of mourn
ing are round and about us, but thes
green sprig of acacia evidences our
faith in glorious Immortality. The
sands OF the hourglass have ceased
to run, and the scythe of time has
cut the brittle thread Of life, but we
may say, as in the beautiful formula
of our burial service, bis spirit to

ciples. Equality Lodge faithful
member and true and affectionate
friend, and the church militant
brave and faithful "soldier Of the
cross" who having acted well his
part on earth, has, we trust, won an
immortal crown.
Resolved, That whilst with humble
submission the body of our deceased
brother is consigned to the grave in
obedience to our Fathers will we
will not cease to cherish the remem-
brancesof his virtues, worth and stcr-

example to all men and especially to
his brother masons.
ResslUed, That we fain would offer
consolation to the distressed widow

tearfully commend them to the care
of Him who has promised to be a
