1t is admitted that ASSISTANT Lee

it on account of the heat of the sun. So
he sold it and took to tramping about

gagged in absorbing the quarter-dollar as
sessment levied on farmers who farm.
Either openly or in secret they are using
every effort to make the alliance officially
what is now regarded as-and practically
is, in fact-a political party. The bill to
establish government warehouses and
sub-treasuries in every county whose ag-
ricultural products exceed 100000 an
nually, the passage of which is demanded
by the Ocala platform, is a deep-laid plot
to win over alliance members Of the
North and northwest to the third party
scheme. Here is where the greatest in
jury to the farmers comes in. Every ira
dition of the farmers unions and leagues,
organized for mutual Improvement and
protection, is warning against the adj
mission of politics. This warning still
animates the best element in the farmers
alliance-particularly southern members
and to further strengthen their opposi-
ton to the leaders, CONGRESSMAN TILL
MAN is telling them wholesome truths
about those leaders.
They would not till the soil even
though the bill to turn the public treas
ury into a pawnbroking establishment
should pass. They would then be sub
t~reasurers. But does any one imagine
that a sub-treasury salary, mot to ex-
coed $500 a year." would attract men
who "a stay at the head of a political
farmers alliance?
Out in Kansas and Texas there are so
many of these farmers who don't farm
that whole fields Of grain shrivel and

the farmers are already leaning so heav-
lily on Uncle Sam in anticipation hat
they think it hardly worth while to shuck

The Concord Standard was next. The
Standards account was very full and de-

which he printed when stuff was the
stuff to print, and THE GLOBE which
claims to know something about such

The Greensboro Record did not fall
down-it had a very full account of what
was going on.
The Raleigh Evening Visitor got to
the front with both feet and entertained
the Raleigh folks with the real news
when it was news.
The report of the Raleigh Chronicle is
the worst stuff, as it is presented, ever
printed in any state. 1t lacked all the
essential features of metropolitan jour
nalism and was a daub.

Never in the history Of North Caro-

of the United States, has there beer
recorded a more frightful and complete
railway wreck than was that which hap

fearful rate of speed, carrying on wheels

deep down a cruel cliff and eternity en-

In the hours which had been those

forms and in the moment that was they
lived in rapturous joy for the years that
were to be. Without walning-without
a last good-bye-they turned not ever
their cold eyes upona cloud skirt sky
but down under timbers, in mud and

Of many waters-uneXpectedly and un'
prepared-those souls passed to the
threshold of eternity, leaving all behind,
And to-day, with eyes shedding tears
which burn, a thousand human beings
| with ~throbbing hearts are listening low
listening in eager expectancy and yet in
dismal dread to hear the name Or names
of their loved ones called as the mangled
forms are removed from the wreck OF
dragged from the rivers bed.
Until friends meet the butchered and
strangled victims in the white lights of
the Great Beyond, never until then, will
be known the suffering and agony and
tortured experienced and endure by those
who were so unfortunate.

THE FRAUDS ABROAD.

In these days when the long-haired
s~piritualists and cOntiding free lovers are
abroad in the land when such sharks as
the fraud POLK and the ass SIMPSON are
bowling about the wrongs which they
fraudulently allege farmers endure; when
plenty and get some fellow half full of
poor corn whisky to insist that they are
right-well, it is time for serious think
ing and thoughtful persons to insist that
such mountebanks as POLK be retired to
the O~bscurity in which he was born, and
where he remained until he sold a COM
pound which was a sure throat cure.
The loud and windy speech of GALA
NIFTY POLK is not worth space in any
newspaper. The old fraud is a humbug
Of the first water.
What does he know about farming,
and what does he really care about
farmers?
Why does he not get down to some
honest work?
What is his desire, if it is not his in
sane idea that he can be president?
He could not be elected justice of the
peace where he is best known.
The following Washington letter is
worth space right here:
CONGRESSMAN TILLMAN publicly an
nOunCes that the alliance leaders are ga
sorry set" He makes no exceptions.
Even PRESIDENT POLK, the high priest
and prophet of the alliance, who is ad-
vertised in alliance literature as having
loved duty more than a United States
S~enatorship, and who personally led
TILLMAN's hosts on to victory, is held up
to the scOrn of all farmers who farm.
Mr.. TILLMAN tell the farmers of South
Carolina that the chief executive of their
organization has a presidential bee in his
bonnet-that to that end he has gone
over to the third party movement. Why
should the president of the farmers al
lance busy himself in the United States
Senate when the pipes are all laid to
hoist him into the white house?
Having started so we'll, CONGRESSMAN
TILLMAN proceeds vigorously. PREsI-
DENT Polk is potter's clay in the hands
of the third party. At the head of the
third party is "MACHrAvELLI" MACuNE
MACUNE's official title in the alliance is
chairman Of the national executive COM
mittee. This is what TILLMAN tells South
Carolina farmers about him:
"MACHIAvELLI MACUNE failed at every
thing he undertook until he got a paper
which another man made a success.
Born in Wisconsin,, he fioated to Texas,
where he found the people half crazy.
He got into the Alliance Exchange at
Dallas, which had about $75, 900. This
soon went, and when it was gone
MACUNE went too. He didn't run away,
but went to the National Capital, where
he made himself Chairman of the Ma
tional Alliance Legislative Committee
with the help of ALoNzo WADDELL Of
South Dakota. He was soon appointed
Chairman of the National Executive
Committee, so that he works the bosses
and makes and executes the laws. He
was then the great l am. He issued
orders and cracked his whip"

could have heard some other remarks

WHO WAS TO BLAME?

The first reports, and they are always the
best, say that rotten ties spread and let the
passenger train on the Western North Car
Dina road, with it's eighty passengers, sinh
to their death.
The coroner's jury has been in session
and it will doubtless find that the railroad
company was not to blame.
But we notice that Judge Sc1lenck, Cap
tain Green and Fabius III. Busbee had gone,
among the first, to the scene of the disas-
ter. They went to get railroad points, to
see if it is possible to place this human
butchery on other people.
This is the way railways io-and we need
not expect much else than exon
Grafton. The people of North Carolina
should know beyond doubt and beyond
any question the part played i'll this sad
tragedy by the Richmond and Danvil1e
road.
Were the ties rotten?

Several hours before his death he became
unconscious and SO remained until he
died in intense agonv.
Owing to the suGdenness of the Irish
ex-leader's illness and to the belief of his
wife and OF the attending physicians
that he would recover no friends or rela.
tlons of his family or of that of Mrs
Parnell, were present at Paruells bed
