From the Greensboro Patriot.]
Mr.. Geo. Williamson, of Caswell,
placed in nomination the name of
Capt. A. III. A. Williams, Of Gran
Vile
Prof NJ. H. Holt. of Guilford, in
behalf of Forsyth county, withdrew
the name Of Hon. J. G. Buxton. He
made a capital aud telling speech, fre-
quently interrupted by applause.
DR.. L. G. Broughtou, of Rocking
ham, made an able speech nominating
Col. David Settle.
Jas. Lewellyn, of Surry county, sec
onded the nomination of Col. David
Settle.
The following is the vote in detail:
Caswell, Williams d; Forsyth, Will
liams Is, Settle 80; Granville, Will
liams 4S; Guilford, Williams 40; Per
son, Williams 80; Rockingham, Settle
4S; Stokes, Williams II, Settle IL;
Surry, Williams 81, Settle 6. Total,
Williams 213, Settle 50.
Whenever Badly Williams was
mentioned it called for tumultuous ap-
plause and cheering.
The magnificent form of j. c. Bux-
ton, whenever seen, called forth trc-
mendous applause.
The advocates of federal interfer-
ence with our elections would have
drawn bnt little comfort from the
speeches in the conven. ion today.
Who, that considered the personnel
of the convention and the interest and
influence represented, could doubt
that victory will perch upon our ban
ners this fall?
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the follow ing. through Hon.
&. B. Watson. which were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the Republican
party, since its control of both houses
of Congress and the executive, has
shown itself in its true colOrs and has
proved recreant to every trust com
mitted to it, and has failed to keep a
single promise locking to the improve
ment Of the condition of the produc-
ing and laboring portion of the people.
Resolved, That the efforts of the
Republican party in the present Con-
gress tend to subvert every right of
the States and the people guaranteed
by the constitution, eliminating in
the infamous proposition to interfere
in the free and fair expression of opin-
ion at .he ballot box. That the prin-
ciples and the public acts Of the Dem
ocratic party in the past, and its re
newed promises for the future, entitle
it to the continued support of the peo-

The Sub-Treasury Bill.

Representative Henderson has re-
ceived letter from E. G. Bedding
field. secretary OF the North Caralina
Farmers State Alliance, asking
whether it be true that the Southern
Representatives in Congress had held
a private consultation about the SUBJ
treasury bill and had agreed by ma
jority vote to go against the measure
and to give as reason for their action
the unconstitutionality of the bill. Mr.
Henderson will reply that there has
been no such consultation, caucus OF
conference, public or private, and
that no such action has been taken by
any Senator'S or Representatives in
Congress in relation to the measure
and that there is no foundation fol

The Morehead Convention.

From the Southern Idbaceonist.
As was announced in our last issue
the 9th day of August has been cho-
sen as the time for opening the fourth
annual convention Of the North Caro-
lima State Tobacco Association. The
meeting will convene at Morehead
City, where two very pleasant sessions
have already been held. The date is
well selected, as it comes when the
markets are likely to have but little
to do. The very best accommodation
will be secured at Morehead, and we
expect TO see the convention have such
a gathering as it has never had before
Let every tobacco man in North Car
olina decide to 60, and our word for
it you will never regret the trip. Lay
aside care for one week and mingle
with the genial spirits of the tobacco
trade.

tried to hold a convention at Dobson
in Su-ry county. On counting noses,
the anti Brewer men were found to be
in the majority and the convention
was postponed.
On Monday the Brewer men being
in the majority, concluded to have the
convention. L. j. Norman was made
chairman, very soon s. M. Hoiton,
who is anti Brewer to the core raised
a racket and the fun began. The

An Old Mirror.
From the Greensboro Pa,riot.l

Two hundred and thirty years ago
a man by the name of Rigsby sailed
from Liverpool, Eng, for America.
The vessel was wrecked near Freder-
icksburg. All that Rigsby saved was
a pot, a hammer and small looking
glass.
This morning Mr.. S. w. Alfred
showed US the looking glass. It is
tied up with buckskin thongs which
have been on it for so years. Mr.
Alfred is defendant of Rigsby and
he represents the fifth generation that
this mirror has been handed down to
them.

Mr. Wilkins IS lie long Dem D

active party worker, and his services
have been ever at the disposal of the

JOseph JeffersOn,s Fortune.

The richest actor in this country to-
day is undoubtedly Joseph jefferson.
Edwin Booth is supposed to have more
money, but this is an error. Mr.. Booth
has earned large sums, but, while mod
est enough in his own life, he has ex-
pended them generously, and besides has
disbursed fortune to liquidate the in
debtedness incurred during his disas-
trous managerial career in this city.
Mr.. jefferson, on the other hand, has
been steady accumulation From the
time he began to make more than liv-
ing as an actor he has saved some of the
surplus. He has lived WELL but not ex-
travagantly. He has provided generous
ly for his family, but not wastefully.
Such investments as he has made have
been wise ones, and whatever specula-
ting he may have INDUCED in has aver
aged a profit.
Nobody but himself knows how much
he is worth. He probably knows it to a
cent, for, while not penurious, he is ex-
act and business like. One of the men
closest to him, and certainly most con-
versant with his business, remarked the
other day that jefferson must be mill
ionaire, if not doubly so. Probably the
single million is nearest to it. Consider
ing how easily he takes life, how little
trouble he goes to to create sensational
popularity for himself, and the brevity
of his working seasons for he never
plays more than forty weeks in year,
and as little more than thirty as he can
manage i'll his engagements), this fnan-
cial result is as worthy of note as he
himself is worthy Of the money.-Epoch.

some reasonable time good result
should follow, as it is to be expected,
the number of articles on the free list
might be enlarged in each case, from
time to time, until they attain through
the development of the natural elements
of wealth other sources Of revenue or
an increase of the existing ones, which
would allow the contracting nations to
reach unrestricted reciprocity of free
trade among some or all the American
nations.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE CONFERENCE.
Therefore the committee proposes:
To recommend to such of the govern
ments represented in the conference as
may be interested in the concluding of
partial reciprocity, commercial treaties,
to negotiate such treaties with one or
more of the American countries as it
may be in their interest to make them,
under such basis as may be acceptable
in each case, taking into consideration
the special situation, conditions and in
terests of each country, and with view
to promote their common welfare.

The ~ per cent. of our imports from
Latin America upon which duties are
still assessed consists only of raw sugar
and the coarse grades of wool used in
the manufacture of carpets.
The sugar growing nations comprise
four-fifths, or 10000, 900, of Latin Amer
lea; but with the geographical condi-
tions against them their free labor can
not successfully compete with the coolie
labor of the European colonies. a slight
discrimination in their favor would
greatly stimulate their agricultural in
terests, enlarge their purchasing power
and tend TO promote friendly sentiments
and intercourse.
The wool growing nations are Chill,
Uruguay and the Argentine Republic,
and from them our manufacturers of
carpets receive great portion of their
supply. 1t was most strongly urged by
the delegates who had carefully studied
this subject that the free admission of
coarse woods from these countries could
not prove injurious to the wool growers
of the United States.-.scause the greater

Art More Than Appearances,

A very good story is told of a promi-
nent musician. A young lady went to
him for a course of finishing off" les
sons.
Lets see what you can do" said the
teacher, and placed before her simple
air of Mozart's.
She played few bars and was inter-
rupted.
Take off your rings" said the great
man.
A few more bars and another inter-
ruption.
Take off your bracelets"
a little further ON she was stopped
again.
Your sleeves are too long. l want to
see your wrists
The pupil pinned up her sleeves with
face on fire. At last she succeeded in
finishing the selection.
"Do you want me to teach you?" the
instructor asked, as she took her hands
from the keys.
yes. sir.
Very well. Come to me tomorrow
at this time. without jewelry and in
some sort of dress that you can breathe

of gewgaws and the distressing noise
you have made in getting your breath.

Letters from Victoria.

1t takes one large volume to contain
the court letters of Great Britain, and
there are many autographs of Queen
Victoria scattered through the pages.
The first letter she wrote was penned
when at sweet eighteen she stepped out
of private life into the throne of the
greatest government on the face of the
globe. Her letter announcing her ascent
is written on blue foolscap paper, with
narrow black border in honor of the
death of William ". The signature is
boldly penned in school girl hand, and
she evidently wrote it very carefully.
The ink is as black today as it was when
it reached the state department during
the administration of President Van Blu
rem, and the Endorsement of the great
Minister Palmerston appears in the same
ink below Washington Cor. New
York World.
