The stockholders Of the Wilmington

meeting at Wilmington on Tuesday at
which Nr. D. G. Worth presided.
The Messenger says:
After the business before the meeting
had been brought up il detail and been
freely an fully discussed, a resolution
was adopted authorizing the extension
and completion of the Nashville branch
from its present terminus at Springhopa
to the city Of Raleigh, Or to Durham, OF

such an amount as may be necessary for
completion CT the Fayetteville branch
to the South Carolina State line;
the extension and completion Of the

sion and completion Of the Nashville
branch to Raleigh or Durham, or to
both, or to any point on the line Of the

construction Of all these branches hav-

Does Vance Wear a Sash.

Now they tell it on Senator Vance that
he has been guilty Of wearing one of
taeSe dude silk welly wands, but that
when he came down here TO tell the
ocotch-Irish how to farm, be discarded
his city garb and wore suit that had &C!
been keeping the Gombroon moths IN
proyendcr for three years past. There
mus be some truth III rumor about the
Senator and the sash, for when Vance
returned to Washington, the Star greet
ed him with this refrain:
Now Senator Vance
MAY take off his pants,
And put on his sash with elatlon;
He may dress as he feels,
For the loyal Tar Heels
Have endorsed him by acclamation.
The Alliance platform is not yet fully
made m. and at it's next general meet
inc we expect to see plank inserted de:
manding tariff on silk sashes and

Especial Cor. OF STATE CHoNICLE
GRAHAM, n. G., Aug. 26.-In to-day's
CHRONICLE the report of the Alamance
county convention states that "a reso-
iuron vas passed endorsing Vance,"
This is the truth, but not the whole
truth. The convention not only en-
dorsed, but INSTRUCTED FOR Vance, and
our cominee for the House, in accepting
tie nomination, clearly defined his po-
slu0n III saying that he not only in
tented to VOTE for Vance, but to WORK
Tor his return to the Senate. We think
this should be made a prominent issue
now Ill order to avoid the possibility of
trouble later We wish it understood
that there was no uncertain or indefi-
mite stand taken on this qustion by the
Democrats of Alamance. Aud it is not
out Of place to add that this was Gas ev-
cry representative Democratic conven-
ton Isl convention of farmers, farm
er being chosen for each Of the positions
Representative, clerk, surveyor and regis
ter, strong ticket, and that the very
first business brought before the con-
vention were three different resolutions
indorsing and instructing for Vance, in
troduced by three of the leading farm
ers and Alliance men in tie county. This
is the way we stand, and we would think
it reflection upon our intelligence to
be in favor, under the circumstances,
Of any other man to supercede Vance,
AID especially just at this time, as
United States Senator from North Caro-
