Grinesly and Abernathy Meet
Again.

II was reported in Clinton from
good authoritJ tha. w. Il. Grimsley
aad Rev. j. T. Abernathy had All
other meeting last Monday 1T Snow
Hill with more serious results than
the preceding. Both well armed
with pistols and meeting on the
street began firing at each other at
the same tine. Abernathy was
struck in the chin, the ball ranging
around the jaw bone and lodging in
the back of the head, making pain
ful and serious wound. Grimsley
was struck about the knee making a
slight flesh wound.
Both combatonls emptied the
chambers Of their revoIv,-rs st each
other, and both narrowly escaped
receiving fatal wounds. This is one
OF the saddest and most deplorable
affairs that has ever taken place in
in Our State. Public sentiment is
with Mr.. Grimsley while alf deplore
that a - mister Of the gospel should
s. far depart from all rules of pro-
priety as to place himself in a posi-
ton to be so much disgraced
The report that Mr.and rs.Grims
ley lived together unhappily is de
MED. Mrs. 6. was daughter o
Mr.. Ed. Murrill ,and not of ex-Sherif
Murrell, as above st ted.

THE TRUE POSITION.

At the meeting Of district lee
turers the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The public generally
seems to be greatly exercised over
the supposed relation of the ALI.
anee to political parties and partisan
politics, therefore in ordsr to make
known the true position of the Al
lance as we understand, and in or
der, further, Tat one expression
may speak for each and all Of Us on
this ma, ter, be it
Resolved, That we, the duly elec-
ted and authorized lecturers OF the
State, composing the State lecture
bureau, do unanimously set forth
that the Alliance as an organization
has not and cannot have any con,
nection whatever with any politica
party in partisan sense. That the
Alliance can never become a pollti
cal psrty. That If any or all parties
that do now exist or may hereafter
exist were to endorse into its de
mands and platform Of principles
etc., the organization as grea
educator Oh economic lines mus
still exist and remain intact, separate
and distinct from any and all party
organizations whatever. With us
as an organization, parties are no
an object nor an end. II is ou

truth, right and justice. 1t is for th
individual as citizen, consultif

RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The North Carolina railroad COM
mission has issued the following
circular, and its provisions are good:
1. Whenever any passenger train
on any railroad in the State shall be
more than thirty minutes behind
it's schedule time, it shall be the
duty of said railroad company to
bulletin and to keep posted at any
teleg aph station along its line, and
others stations, if possible, the time
such train is behind its schedule
time, and as near as can be approNi-
mated the time of its arrival.
9. Whenever there is any break
or obstruction on any railroad IN
this State, thereby causing delay to
any passenger train, it be the duty
of said road to have the same bulie-
tined at and between the said
passenger train and the place 50
obstructed and it shall be the duty
of the CT nductor to notify the pas
sengers IN the cars before leaving
the station Of the delay probably

HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The 0oinion Of The Editor and the
Opinion of others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics OF the Day.

What do you think OF '.that ad-
dress" that was SO long look far and
at last cane forward with such a
bland and conservative smile? Well
we have not thought much about it.
We look upos it, as kind harmless
and superhuous nonentity The meet
ing that produced it was unneces
sary, and the opinion of ten meI
amounts 10 but little with a citizen
ship Of million and half. The
people know what they want and
when the time comes will act. i
there are any compromises to b'
made they will make them them
selves. The committee was no
clothed with any authority to speaA
for the people in the comm. cam
paign. They will send their dele
gates to conventions to do that.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1891-12-17

We heard very Intelligent (and
We thought we'll informed) man say
a few days since that while the far
mers might haye some grounds of
complaint under present low prices,
yet that those who work for wages
in the industries were never better
paid in comparison with the value
of the products they helped to earn.
Now let us see how this is. The
figures of the census on this matter
for 1890 are not yet out. but let us
see how it was in 1880 compared to
1860. The total amount paid in wa
ges in 1860 was $2,6S9, AL, in 1880 it
was 81, 74O,7 only as light incease,
while the number of wage earners
1860 was only 14.217 to 1900 in
1880. This shows considerable actu-
al decrease in wages, while the value
OF the products he worked to make
increased from $16,678,69S In 1856
to S20,095,037 in 1880. II these fig.
ures are correct, the day laborer as
well as the farmer has just griev.
ance; and let the figures tell what
they may, he feels his grievance and
will stand by the farmer in the fi2ht
for financial reform.

What do you think OF Crisp for
Speaker? is a question we have
had frequently asked. Well, we
think he is the best man Of tho Sc
who were prominently in the race.
The election Of Mills would have
been calamity even if he had not
sold out to New England 10 get elect
ed. ne would rlindly and to M
purpose have ridden his tariff hobby
to the exclusion of all other remedi.

ganized the House so as to have
throttled any attempt at silver legis'
latIon or other financial reform mea

on these points, 50 nearly all the AL
lance men voted for him on th'
| wind up.

would not have seen him or known |
he was in the town.
Third, the effort to make it appear |
that the Alliance had gone into par
tisan politics and that the National
meeting was nothing more than a
Third Party council. The fact l.
the Third Party, nor Tor that mat
ter any other party, was not discus
ed or considered either directly or
indirectly in the slightest manner
whatever during the whole meeting.
Those who know anything about the
Alliance know that 1t Is not and cat~
never be political party, for the
day 1t should attempt to be, it would
die. This its enemies know hence
they are verv anxious for it TO give
up It's great work and objects and
descend TO the level of political
machine. In this event the machines
might live as other party machines
DO, but the Alliance would be dead,
its true work would stop and its
mission fail. Then what is the
legitimate work of the Alliance? 1t
is education, education, education.
For any reform that is beneficial
and permanent must be the result OF
education. With the Alliance parties
are not an object, but may be and
will means and a method. Bui
when the individual is educated he
can be trusted to find the means that
will bring about the reforms. II
any one or all parties should adopt
and advocate the reforms demanded
by the Alliance, still the organiza'
ton would exist and remain sepe

The Necklenburg Times made a
statement that certain Alliance men
in its county were signing pledge
to vote the third party ticket. A
cold chill runs down the backs OF The
little 2x4 partisan editors, they be-
gin to howl and charge that the Al.
lance, as an organization, WIS pledg-
ing its members to vote the third
party ticket. When they say that,
it amounts to saying that they do
not believe the often repeated and
published expressions of the organi-
zation stating its true position. Such
papers will be passed by with silent
contempt by the Order. Whether
or not such a pledge exists or not,
we do not know, but if it does it is
of course, without any knowledge VI
