IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Things are considerably mixed in
the Old North State, and it seems
that a Peoples Party flavor is given
TO the mixture. Last week when the
regular Democratic nominating con-
vention of the Third Congressional
district met, the present member, Mr..
Grady, was renominated without OPP
position. Mr.. Grady is member of
the Alliance, a school master and
farmer, and recognized as a believer
in the Ocala demands, which were
made an issue in the last election. A
motion to indorse the Chicago plat
form was voted down, and when it
was proposed to nominate an elector
for the district an amendment was
adopted that he be instructed to vote
for Weaver and Field. The minori-
ty withdrew and reorganized, nam
ing their elector for Cleveland, and
by every precedent the regular Dem
ocracy Of the Third North Carolina
district is instructed for Weaver and
Field.
The Republicans do not seem to be
in better shape. While the politi-
clans and oficehoIders favor a State
ticket, the rank and file have gone
largely over the Peoples Party, and
the old party seems to be all leaders
and no followers. In a recent num-
Der Of the Progressive Farmer, DR.
Mott, a leader and a man of great
force, advised the Republicans to vote
for the Peoples Party State ticket,
and while the committeeman seem to
generally oppose the proposition,
their protests are receiving little
consideration outside the Democratic
newspapers.
It IS within the easy range of prob
abilities that the vote for the Peo-
pies Party in North Carolina will ex-
coed that of both old parties COM
llned.

A DISCREPANCY.

Tuesday in the primary election in
Fulton county, but $500 voters put
themselves on record as Democrats
on State issue, and 2,O76 as desiring
to put out a candidate for Congress.
The total vote of Fulton county is
not less than 10000, and at the pro-
hibition election two years ago over
1900 votes were actually cast. The
.laily papers of Atlanta constantly
claim that there are no Peoples party
heretics here, and the vote for Har-
rison four years ago was but 2,164 in
Fulton county. All things consid-
cred, there is a discrepancy in Demo
cratic calculations.

COlored Organization in Macon County

The colored farmers Of the Grange
vile district met, July 4, with wives,
and children, and baskets we'll filled
with refreshments, at Sutton's School
House. After a good dinner, John
Crittenden, of Schley county, made
a ringing speech on the principles of
the Peoples Party. He proved, be-
yond a doubt, that the contraction of
the currency, and the establishment
of national banks, we're working de-
struction to agriculture and impover-
ishing labor, and the bosses of the
Republican party, who freed us, and
the bosses of the Democratic party
have combined together and sold to
Wall street and England the agri-
cultural, and laboring people of
America, and today we are all, both
white and colored, financially slaves
for the old parties.
He said that the poor people who
fought to save us when we were
bodily slaves, and the agricultural
and laboring people of the South
are calling upon us to unite with
them and again throw off the shack
les of slavery and restore the gov
eminent back to all the people.
His speech was good, and had the
effect of converting the already con-
victed, and of convicting those who
never had thought of the condition
of our government and the reason
that they were unable to make a
living for themselves and families.
After the speech, Rev. Mr.. Bass
was called upon to speak for the
Republican party, whereupon Mr..
Crittenden soon seated him by ask
ing him why the people who do all
the work were so poor?
The meeting then organized by
electing Thomas Collins chairman
and J. E. Duncan secretary, with a
membership of % names.
We believe the only relief for the
laboring people of America is to come
together on the St Louis platform,
and we are going with the Peoples
Party, for we believe it to be the
only party of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people.
J. E. DUNCAN, Secretary.

The Atlanta Journal is prone to
quote General Viewers speeches in
his first campaign for Congress, when
he was running as Republican
against an Iowa Democrat. There
is no doubt Weaver did abuse the
Democrats soundly, but there is no
evidence that he abused the Southern
people, as the Journal charges.
Horace Greeley said that though
every Democrat was not horse thief,
every horse thief was Democrat,
and the Democrats ran him for Pres
ident. A good brother in this reform
movement says he remembers help
ing to hang Abe Lincoln in efgy,
and now he considers Lincoln as
entitled to a top place in the niche
of fame. Really, the people are not
bothered about how Gen. Weaver
abused the Iowa Democracy twenty
years ago.

Democratic Free Wool.

An honest Georgia farmer stated
to us last week, that he had recently
carried his wool to a certain factory
and was told that the price of wool
had fallen six cents a pound since
Congress had passed the FREE
Wool Bill. There is no law max
ing wool free, nor is there likely to
be. The House did vote to take the
tariff off the wool which the farmers
have to sell, but to leave a tariff of
40 per cent on the jeans and blankets
which the farmers and laboring men
have to buy, but the miserable fraud
has not become a law nor will it be-
come law.
The Democrats are always ready
to give the people taffy, but never
ready to give them relief.

A. G.. jackson, of Watkinsville,
Ca, tells how the workers for the
cause make hay when the sun does
not shine:
On the 9Th inst. the writer had the
pleasure of being at a gathering
which was to have been a sunday
school celebration, but on account
of the rain the programme Of the
sunday-school was called in, ana the
day spent in working for cause next
to that of sunday-school and church,
viz: That of the Peoples Party.
There was fully three hundred pres
ent despite the unceasing rain, and
after several speeches, Uncle George
E. Griffith, tried and true man,
requested the audience all to be seat
ed, then he requested all who favor
ed this move known as the Peoples
Party to rise, and the entire audience
roseawith the exception of about
half dozen who refused to vote eth
er for or against.

Among the recent accessions to
the Peoples Party reported in the
West, Hon. George L. Yalple, Of
Michigan, is notable. He has served
in Congress, and was the last Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Of his
State. Like Governor Pennoyer, he
finds the surrender of the party to
Wall street too rancid for his con-
science, andaigns himself on the
Peoples side.

Debate in johnson County.

The voters of Johnson county
assembled in mass, about six hun
dred strong, in the town of Wright
vile, at the Mamie Lou Worthen
Institute, and heard one of the most
interesting debates that ever took
place between our home people.
The discussion was upon the plat
form of the People, and that of the
Democratic party The speakers that
represented the People were DIR.
Ivey, Mr.. Helton and Mr.. Snider.
Those that represented the Demo-
cratic party were Col. DAILY, Col.
Robinson and DR.. Flanders. When
the boys began to shell down the
clean cannon in defense of the Peo-
pies platform the lawyers on the
other side, through excitement or
mistake, would address the people as
"gentlemen Of the jury" forgetting
that they were not in a justice court
but confronted by a jury of about
five hundred voters, who were ready
to convict the Democratic party, as
it's foul deeds were uncovered; they
would also drift into the unreason-
able attitude Of constituting the land
plank in the Peoples platform to
mean division of the land belong
ing to the private citizens as much
so as the land owned by the rail
road corporations and alien men, but
in all Of this they were met to the
fullest, and on the part Of the Peo-
pie it was grand success, for in the
conclusion DR.. Ivey asked all who
were in favor of the Peoples Party
to rise and it appeared that there
was an upward tendency of level
headed assembly. A CITIZEN.

county down as solid for the Peo-

Sam Small is being so roundly
abused by the daily papers that the
people will soon want to know why :?
Then Rev. Sans innings will come,
for few men have better knack Of
telling why than he.
Now that Judge Hillyer has car
ried Fulton, do his 1,100 supporters
know whether he really desires a
free coinage of cart-wheel silver, or
of microscopic gold dollars?
The Peoples Party does not fuse.
1t don't have to. The best element
of all other parties come to it and
give it their support because it is
right and makes no compromises.

EVERY WORD FALSE.
The AUGUSTA Chronicle says

The Augusta Chronicle says;
The Third Party seems to be on the
trade and ready to fuse with any party
that promises additional votes for their
candidates. They are fusing with Dem
ocrats in the West, playing with the
Republicans in the South and in Geor-
gia trying to make dicker also with
the Prohibitionists.
Does not the editor of the Chron-
5cle know that there Is no truth in
any statement contained in its para
graph The Peoples Party is evil
IDENTITY meant by its term, Third
Party, and the Peoples Party has
everywhere refused to fuse or to
turn to the right or the left to dicker
with any party in any State.
The Constitution has not disavow-
ed its lately expressed opinion that
Cleveland need not look for recruits

Mr.. Sherman counciled a conservative
course and made strong argument in favor
of "A ratification of the treaty without restric-

TO the Senate the advantage that would De

ratification were agreed TO peaceably

ing Coleman Drsvton to Land.

New YoRE, March 25.-It was reported this
morning that Deputy Surveyor John Collins
had made n formal complaint to Collector
Hendricks that Health-O officer Jenkins had
violated section . Of the act Of August. 1892. OF
the Revised Statutes in allowing j. Coleman
Dravton 10 leave the steamship Majestic
without first securing the permission OF
Deputy Surveyor Collins, who was in charge
at tho time.
Collector Hendricks stated this morning
that he had as vet received no complaint in
the case. Ho referred the reporters TO Deputy
Collector Phelps. under whose direction the
case would come After looking up the law
on the subject Mr. Phelps made the follow
ing statement:
Il have heard that complaint was to be
made but it has not as yet reached me. IN
any case / don't think that there is any
thing in the law which would affect Health
Officer jenkins in any way. The mas
ter of the vessel is liable 10 fne
not exceeding $1,000 for q violation OF ths
section covering the case. Ii IL rather u
peculiar statute. Nearly all cases OF vio-
lation of the laws relating to vessels
and custom regulations have specific
penalties but in this case the. fino
may be any sum not exceeding $1,000 IN tho
discretion of the court. The department. is
very strict in matter of this kind. There
will doubtless be an investigation OF the
matter in any case as the story has bsen
made public
