will be necessary for him to make
part of the trip each day after the
speaking is over, but we do not see
that it is impossible. This is a grand

Mai. Scott, of Moore county, de-
nounced the Alliance demands in the
Carthage Blade of last week, and as a

According to a number of our
State papers Col. Polk is a mighty bad
man. But the bosses tried powerful
hard to make him Governor of the
State recently. Why is that they
want to foist a terrible bad man on the
people of the State as their Governor?
~ 1t is the duty of every man in
town or country who believes there is
need of reform to proclaim it boldly at
all times and post himself so he can
establish what he claims. Count that
day lost whose low setting sun wit
nesses no new recruits to the move
ment.
X The New York Times says if the
"parties want to win the support of
the business men they must speak out
in no uncertain way against free silver
coinage" All right. Let her go! The
Alliance will speak out in no uncertain
way on the other side when the par
ties" are heard from"
~. The Watauga Democrat says the
Alliance says nothing in condemnation
of the Force bill, the biIlion-dOllar Con
gress, the pension monopoly or the
tariff. That is totally untrue. Each
and all of these things were condemned
at Ocala last fall. Such things as these
caused the organization of the farmers.
1t is related of a certain prOmi-
nent man in North Carolina that dur
ing the a he was compelled to with
draw his men from their position be-
cause they stirred up a nest Of bundle
bees. Brave men who hate cOwardice

bees?

the goth to 23d of October. The pro
gramme is interesting and the Fair
promises to be one of the best ever
held in North Carolina. Col. Harry
Skinner, the great Sub-Treasury advo
cate, will speak there on the 22d. Hear
him.
It is said that some of the politi-
clans have gone to Europe to raise
money to whip out the reform move
ment. Do they propose to buy votes
and influence? If so, we have got
plenty of the commodity. Bring on
your cash. eve need more money in
circulation and we are not particular
about the Details"
X Some good acting was done III
New York the other night. A young
actor was to be arrested by an alleged
detective on a charge of forgery. That
was a part Of the play, When the
time came a real detective dragged the
young man off the stage and carried
him toprison. The audience applauded

scene was real.
A tramp, claiming Baltimore as
his home, vas arrested at Petersburg,
Va, last week. In his pocket he had
cards with the name of Col. Benehan
Cameron on them. He said that he
was at Statesville when the wreck &C.
Cured, and that these cards were given
him "as mementoes of the wreck"
Perhaps he knows something about the
cause of the wreck.
An autograph letter of Abraham
Lincoln to a friend is said to contain
the following: DO not worry. Eat
three square meals a day. Say your
prayers. Think Of your wife. Be
courteous to your creditors. Keep
your digestion good. Steer clear of
biliousness. Exercise. Go slow and
go easy. May be there are other
things that your especial case requires
