CAPT, THoRME's LECTURE.

Last Saturday Capt. 4. A. Thorne,
Alliance lecturer for this district,
Iectured in Temperance Hall TO the
Alliance at this place and the public
generally. He said in the opening
of his speech that the Alliance
wished the people to understand
the objects Of the order, AMI Tor
this purpose Alliance literature is
being distributed over the country
through the Alliance press, and a
system of lectures had been arrang-
ed for bringing the people together
to hear the issues of the day dis
cussed together with the aims and
demands of the Alliance.
The prlme object of the Alliance,
he SAID, is to get the people to
think: the ultimate end, the smel
ioratlon OF the condition of the
masses.
FIRST DEMAND-AboLuion Of nd-
ttOnoL banks as banks Of issue, The
sneaker showed how the system OF
national banks operates IN favor OF
the capitalist and against the laboreI
every time.
SECOND DEMAND-PaSSage 01' On
act by congress forbiiding the alien
ownership Of land.
THIRD DEMAND-THe sub tredsur.
bill.
FOURTH DEMAND-A graduated
income tar.
On all these demands the speaker
was very clear, showing that he bad
studied the subject well. AS to the
sub treasury bill, he did not enter
into its discussion. He said be
thought he could show the consti
nationality of the bill, which had
been questioned, but he did not take
the time. He said the Alliance are
not particul lrly welded to this bill
but are willing to accept somethlr
better. They mean to have 1t
however, he said, unless they &c
get something better.
| Capt Tborne spoke nearly al
hour and half and the strictest
attention was paid him. His speech
was clear, conservative, patriotic
and was tavorably received. He
closed with an earnest admonitiOr
to Alliancemen to stand shoulder
to shoulder in the contest against
the money power which they mus
fight. He said that it will be ne
walk over, but in 1892 the Repub
lican party which is responsible fol
the maIadminIStTatiOn OF the gov
eminent for the last twenty-five
years, shall he buried too deep fol
an early resurrection.

ABOUT TRUCKING.

The fattering reports from the
trucking interest in Eastern Caio
lima this season, especially around
New Berne, are causing farmers 70
consider the matter seriously. IL
has been repeatedly stated that the
truck farms around New Berne this
season have brought into circulation
there very nearly a million dollars
We have it from good authority
that land that was purchased there
a few years ago for fifty dollars an
acre can not now be bought 1or a
Thousand dollars an acre. Men
have made large quantities OF truck
and have received a very good
nrIce for it. This has brought a
large amount of money into circula-
ton and people around Old Ne"
Hprne seem to be more prosperous
inst now than in any other part OF
Eastern Carolina, and not mucn
behind the best places in Western
Carolina.
Many of the calculations are
doubtless overdrawn; but granting
that they are, the actual prosperity
of the trucking section proves con
clusiveIy that there is more money
TO be made in the trucking industry
than by the old system here Of
raising such large quantities oil
cotton.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that, at present prices, cotton cost'
them great deal more than they
can get for it when 1T Is prepared
for market. They have learned
that as long as they continue tt
produce it for a money crop they
will get deeper and deeper III debt
The consequence will be that, per
haps next year, farmers will aban
uon the production of cotton, large
". and in those sections of Easter
Carolina where they can raise truck
aud have facilities for shipping
they will turn their attention tt
truck farming. We shall favor thi'
course. OF course we do not tblnt
it will be wise for farmers to pltcl
into trucking entirely at once. W.
advise that diversity of crops which
we have been advising for more
than three years. THE democrat
has believed all the time, and still
believes, that there are great posi-
bilities for Eastern Carolina. W.
hope to see it fully developed ant
we believe the trucking interes
Will be a large factor III it
development.

CROP REPORT.

The reports Of correspondents Of
tie WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BUL-
LENToN issued by the North Caro-
lima Experiment Station and State
Weather Service fer the week ending

crops have generally continued to
improve. The early part of the
week was warm with occasional
showers badly distributed, and rain
was beginning to be needed at nany
places. A general rain prevailed
Tuesday and Wednesday evening
which greatly refreshed crops. In
a few. localities the rainfall was
heavy, washing land, and, accom>
panied by wind, which did a little
damage. The last few days have
been too cool, which Will retard
growth Of crops somewhat. Cotton
continues to improve and looks more
vigorous; is blooming freely in Cen
trail and Western Districts. Crops
generally now cleared Of grass and
we'll cultivated. B.ackberries ripe
and yield large. Present condition
OF crops for the entire State is as

bacco 81; wheat 50; oats rs; grass
81. (One hundred and slxt. six

FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.

It has been said that skilful advertising
Will accomplish wonders, and this is
partly true, for it is no uncommon thing
TO See various nostrums achieve a brief
notoEiety IN this way. But they do not
outlast the notices that herald them.
Thus 1t Is that the mercurial and potash
remedies are constantly appearing before
the nubhc IN new DISCUSSES. Advertising
however, Will not account for the popu>
la1lt7 that s. S. has enjoyed for fifty
years, nor for the fact that has become
household remedy; nor will advertising
account ior the thousands of testmor lis
mat the people have given in its behalf.
Ohiy TIE most substantial merit can
account Tor the estimation IN which this
wonderful medicine is held.

THE EXPOSITION.

TIE DEMOCRAT has more than
once proposed a plan for having
Halifax county represented at the
great Southern Exposition III Ral-
eigh next fall. Our plans have met
with the favor of a number OF
gentlemen with whom we have
talked on the subject, among the
numbe~ Capt. L. A. horne, Alliance
lecturer for this district. Capt.
Thorne lives in the county and feels
great interest in the welfare of the
county.
Our proposition is this: Let each
town in the county raise fund
from the town treasury and private
subscription, send one man to a
meeting of the representatives OF
the towns, and let these represen-
tatlveS select man to manage the
exhibit for the county. Each town
can take in the townships contig-
uous to It's own and so have no
part of the county left out.
At the Exposition the exhibit can
be shown from Halifax county as a
whole, but subdivisions can be made
according to the exhibit from each
town. This would give the differ,
ent towns IN the county a chance
to see which can make the best
show.
There Is certainly no reason why
we should not be represented
There is every reason why We
should be. 1t will be an exposition
for the entire South, and being
opened in North Carolina, no county
III the State can afford to disl egard
1t, and especially Halifax can not.
1t is being discussed abroad, al
the following from Raleigh Chron
icIe will show:
"The Interstate Exposition il
Raleigh this Fall promises to be 6
