Our Ringwood Letter.

RINGwooD, n. c., July II, 81.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-The crop
prospect is poor. In Enfield yester-
day in CONVERSATION with E. T. Branch,
Capt. Robertson and other leading and
influential citizens it was decided
that with everything favorable from
now out half crop of cotton could not
be made, and at 7 cents per pound
this is a poor outlook for this section
at least.
Capt. T. V. Avent, of Aventville,
Nash county, says his tobacco is an
average and his cotton is three weeks
behind, and all hinges on late fall.
Miss Chamberlain and Miss Kate
Hart, of Durham, excellent ladies and
sisters of Mrs. Avent, are on visit at
her aunt's.
Old man Zach Saunders, aged so
years, is quite sick. He is a relative
of that good farmer and staunch ALI
anceman Jas. R. Saunders, Aventville.
The Alliance cares for Mr.. Saunders
wants, and right here I will say the
Alliance is a good thing rightfully fol-
lowed, but little men, lilliputions, have
crept in for sordid, selfish purposes and
using it for all it is worth politically,
reminding us that ''wrens prey where
| eagles fear to perch;' and a sad and
humiliating spectacle is presented to
those who wish we'll Of the country-a
spectacle that the masses are following
a few worn out demagogues, who care
no more for the farmer, except so far
as they can use him to advance their
little demagogical ends, than a hog
cares about Sunday. In my county a
court house ring composed Of one-horse
lawyers and perhaps some patientless
doctors and a bought-up Justice OF the
Peace as keeper of the Jail, are running
the Alliance and prostituting the glo-
rious ends of the grandest order when
properly carried out, to the narrow,
contemplate ends of narrow minded
demagogues who have run the cry of
niger rule for all it is worth and are
now running the poor white man
through the Alliance. From such mean,
contemplate skunks and political fol-
lowers may we we'll pray to be speedily
delivered.
