sentation in the country in the interest
of harmony and good feeling. Let the
same be done in the town, or else there
will be confusion. Majorities and mi
norities are all good Democrats have

interested as possible in the election.
Good feeling and harmony are of more

a majority may nominate, but it takes
the aid Of the minority to elect. Both
ought to be made enthusiastic and both
will be if they are fully and fairly rep
resented. No strong candidates interest
can suffer with such an arrangement,
and no weak candidate ought to be nomi
mated this year.
Caucus nominees ought TO state can

Printed on the bottom of blank set

to nominate ticket for '92
The men selected at present, under
stand are Palmer, of illinois, for Presi-

President. They expect to hold an
early convention, nominate these men
and then attempt to have the Demo
cratic party endorse the ticket. While
this seems premature and rather wild,
yet Alliance men here are talking it.
They say Palmer will carry many west
ern States that have never voted the
Democratic ticket for President, while
Hill will make New York all right.
They are against Mr. Cleveland on &C

A VALUABLE FIND.
Fine Mineral Spring Will Add to
the Attractiveness of High Point.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
HIGH POINT, n. c., August 4.-Con.
siderable excitement prevails here over
the rediscovery Of fine mineral spring
about two miles from town. Before the
war man by the name of Richard
Crouch found spring which, upon ex-
animation, proved to.possess very strong
mineral properties. During the war,
and for year or two after, the spring
was visited by numbers of people in
search of health. But the town of High
Point then being small and no accommo-
dation to be had at the spring, except
common farm house, which we are told
was always crowded during the summer
months, the health and pleasure-seek-
ers turned their attention to other places
where healthy water could be had with
out such inconvenience.
An old citizen told the writer that he
had seen two hundred people at the
springs at one time for no other purpose
than to get drink of water, and that
people carried the water in jugs and
barrels as far as Winston and Fayette-
vile.
In those days Drs. Coffin and Shoe
man were accounted the best physicians
in this part of the country. and were
regarded as authority on any subject;
and they pronounced the water Of this
spring to be of incalculable benefit to
many diseases, especially indigestion
and kidney trouble. In fact, they very
often furnished the water to their pa
tients who lived at distance, and al
ways with good results to the patient.
But Crouch having died, and the prop
erty falling into the hands of parties
interested in other things, the spring
filled up, and as we might say, de-
stroyed.
So it has remained until few weeks
| ago when some of the citizeus of the
town began to talk about it and awake
some interest In the matter.
Consequently the spring was again
brought to earth, cleaned out and now
many people every day are being built
up by its health giving water.
The spring and surrounding ground
will soon be put in good condition, and
this in connection with High Points al
ready unequalled health record is des.
tined to make this one of the leading re-
sorts in North Carolina.
