SEVERAL STORES ENTERED,
People Sleeping With Their Pistols I'm
der Their Heads.

From t be Charlotte Chronicle |
After the Chronicle had gone to
press yesterday morning with an
account of the daring attempt of
burglars to effect al entrance into
Mr.. John G Bryce's safe, between
IL and II o'clock, other attempts
were made to enter several stores IN
the city. The fact was not known
until yesterday morning about day
light or before, when people began
stirring, and the doors of several
stores were found open, the locks
Flaum has a cigar store on West
Trade street in the same building as
Mr.. Fridays grocery store. When
each arrived at their respective
stores yesterday morning, evidence
of burglars work was plainly visi-
BILE, Mr.. Flaum faring the worst.
The lock to the front door was
priced entirely off and the door con-
siderably defaced. Mr.. FlaHm did
not have to use the key which he
had in his pocket TO secure an en-
trance; the door stood wide open.
He had read the account in the
Chronicle of the attempt on Mr..
Bryce's safe, and Immediately real
ized that he had been victim of
the burglars also. He examined his
stock and found several boxes of eli
gars gone and quartity of canned
goods Nothing else was missing.
Mr.. Fridays door also showed marks
of the burglars tools, but an en-
trance was not effected in his store.
While a crowd gathered around
discussing the robbery, and that at
Mr. Bryce's, news was brought that
similar attempts had been made at
Mr.. Reuben Culpepper's, and Mr..
Jo Emery's on West Trade street,
beyond tha Richmond & Danville
depot. At Mr.. Culpepper's an at
tempt was made to enter through
the front door, and at Mr.. Emery S
through the back door. Mr.. Cul
peppers door showed marks of the
same tools used on Mr.. Flaum,s s and
Mr.. Fridays doors. The door was
split. and the lock prlzed entirely
off

THE FARMERS And TOBACCO,
An Alliance MOYement 70 Decrease
Production.

There is Talk of an Agreement to
Raise Only One Barn to the Horse
Given But Little Credit by the
Leaf Men-It Would Greatly De-
crease Winston's Leaf Trade.
The Farmers Alliance, it was
learned this morning, is discussing
the question in this and adjoining
counties, OF passing law in their
order forbidding any member from
raising more than barn of tobacco
to each horse they employ on their
farms.
''The object" said prominent
tiller of the soil this morning. ''is to
cut down the amount of tobac-
co now raised and to make
what is made better. The fact is
apparent to every farmer that tive
much attention is being paid to tho
cultivation of the weed. By the
adoption of our plans now in view
it is believed that better grade of
tobacco will be made and in conse-
quence better prices will be realized
for their work. There are many
brother farmers IN the Piedmont
section who have gone wild, so to
speak, on the cultivation of tobacco.
"They have lost sight cf corn and
small grain and all the money
they receive for their tobacco goes
to buy something to eat and feed for
their stock and many even then
fall behindat the end of the year."
"Whatwe want and badly need is
to induce our farmers to devote
more time and attention to the &C.
tual necessities of life. We all
need to be instructed along the
line of home production.
1--WE want to raise our own meat
and bread and stop sending North
for it. And the only way that | can
see for us to do this is to govern our
selves as to how much tobacco. corn,
wheat and other crops we will raise
each year. If this policy is followed
out, firmly believe that the farm
ers of this section will derive a geat
benefit at the end of the first
year"
In order to obtain some idea as to
how the new plans of the Alliance
would effect the amount of tobacco
sold on the Winston market SENTI
NEIL representative asked the opin
ion Of several manufacturers and
leaf dealers today. None could say
definitely, but it is thought that il
would redGce the production maa5
thousand pounds. However, very
little faith is held in the idea by the
tobacco men here from the fact, as
they say, that very few farmers
would adhere to the law.

CLEVELAND ON THE OUTLOOK.
If the Democracy is True to- Itself il
Cannot Fall

Cannot Fail"
BALTIMORE, March 12.-Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland expressed
some of his views about national
politics to day to reporter
of the Baltimore Sun at Spesutia Is
land, Md, where Mr.. Cleveland had
come to shoot ducks.
"What is your opinion" he was
asked, ''should be the main issue of
the Democratic party inappealing to
the voters of the country?
"All evidence replied Mr.. Cleve-
land, "of what the people want and
what they expect Of the party would
seem clearly to indicate that tariff re-
form must be the issue if we are to go
into a winning fight"
What do you consider the best
plan Of attacking the tariff in Con
gress? -
''My idea has been that a general
bill would be the best method, but
am willing to defer to those who are
on the ground and who have left the
battle in Congress to fight. | hope
the Springer free WOOL bill will pass
and am also in favor of any other
measure which will Tighten the bur
| den of tax alton now resting upon
the people. 2In fact favor any meas
ure in the direction of genuine tariff
| reform"
"What are the prospects of the
! Democratic party's ultimate sue
cess?' -
Il have but one opinion on that
subject. If the party is true TO it.
self, and true to its principles, and
fulfils it's pledges to the people it can
| not fail"

In THE COUNTY And DISTRICT
The PO.itiral pot Beginning to Boil in
Winston.

County Convention to Send Delegat
es TO the state Convention to be
Called at an Early Date-The Dis
trict Committee to be ReOrganized
The Republicans Moving
The political cauldron will soon
begin to boil all over the county.
Locally speaking not much is be-
ing said relative to the men who will
be named as candidates for county
offices.
Capt. C. Buford is chairman of the
county Democratic Executive Com
mittee and he informs The SENTINEL
that the committee will be
called to meet in few days to con-
suit matters in general and to decide
upon date for holding a county
convention for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the State conven-
ton which meets in Raleigh on
May 18th.
In regard to Congressional mat
ters, nothing definite can be learned
yet. Mayor R B. Kerner is mem
Der of the Executive Committee for
the Fifth District. but since he has
been changed to the Eighth he is not
prepared to say yet when the com
mittee will meet.
The change of districts will neces-
state each county naming a com
mitteeman, hence new committee
(partially) will be made 1t will be
the duty of the FORSYTH convention
at It's next meeting to name its man
for congress ,ional committeeman.
The county officers to be elected
this fall will be a Sheriff, Register
of Deeds, Treasurer, Coroner and
Surveyor. A member of the Legis-
latare will also have to be chosen.
The term of the Clerk of the Supe-
rior Court does not expire uhtil
1894.
The Republicans are beginng to
feel of the situation. The Wilkes
boro Chronicle of this week says:
The Republican Executive Com
Mite of this Congressional district
met here Wednesday of last week
and selected Wilkesboro as the place
and A pril the 10Th the time for hold
ing the convention to elect delegates
to the National Republican conven-
ton to be held at Minneapolis, June
7th, 1882.
Wilkesboro W Us also selected as
the place for holding the convention
10 nominate a candidate for Con-
gress and Presidential Electer fer
this district. The time is hereafter
to be decided by the chairman of the
Executive Committee, Col. w. D.
Jones, of Caldwell.
The number of the executive com
mittee present was rather limited,
but it required the entire day to call
the two conventions.
The Republicans are beginning to
survey the field for a candidate for
Congress in this district They are
going to go slow however and see If
the Democrats make any mistakes.
We have heard it whispered around
a little that perhaps our friend Col.
Thomas j. Dula would make a good
man to put in the field. He is a
good campaigner. Others are of
the opinion that DIR. Tyre York will
be The nominee. This is close dis
trict and the Republicans are going
to do their best, but we are afraid
they'll get left.

MANUFACTURERS OF wooLENs

MANUFACTURERS OF WOOLENS.
WAsHINGToN, March 1.-THE
Census Office today issued bulletin
on the wool industry IN the United
States.
The number of establishments re
ported for 1890 as engaged in the
manufacture of 'twoolen goods prop
err is 67S less than the number re-
ported for 1880, and the number re-
ported in 1880 showed decrease of
COL from the number reported in
1870
1t is explained that this continued
decrease in number of establishments
is principally due to the disappear
ance of the custom or neighborhood
carding mills, which formally carded
wool to be spun in families.
A comparative statement of al
branches of wool manufacture. ex.
cepting shoddy, is given as fol

Worlds Fair.
Fom the News and Observer j

rom the News and Observer
The vast amount of work connected
with the Worlds Fair is perhaps not
entirely comprehended by those who
have given no particular attention to
the subject. The construction of the
buildings and laying off the grounds
are in themselves stupendous works
and employ thousands of artisans.
The selection OF the location seems to
us to be admirable. The grounds lie
along the lake shore and the water
will add largely to the beauty of the
views. Immense buildings of fine
architectural design will adorn the
grounds and every auxiliary will be
used to minister to the pleasure and
comfort Of visitor.
Passing to the display itself, all
nations will enter into competition in
making exhibits oftheir richest fabrics
and most elegant products. aud rarest
art. The skill of the world will be
brought together in an elaborate dis
play that has heretofo been une
qualled.
In providing for these matters the
directors have had to do vast
amount of labor,i in exercising judgment
and discretion in classifying the dis
play and sub deviding subjects, allow
ing no undue prominence to one at
the expeDce of another.
As far as we have information the
work has been well done and we
make bold to say that Col. a. B.
Andrews who has been very active in
discharglng the duties imposed upon
him, has contributed largely to giving
shape to the work, and that he has
been excelled in efficiency by few
others in the board, When the great
exhibition is opened and in full blast,
the magnitude of the work will bo ap-
preciated, and one can then see the
advantage of having men of fine
understanding aud capacity to direct
aud manage such stupendous mn
dertaking.
We trust that North Carolina will
make a display onthe occasion equal
to her merits, and that her fine re-
sources will be given prominence in
the public eye, and our people reap a
rich reward from their outlay.
OF one thing we are assured-the
Boardof agriculture and the managers
nm the part Of the State will do all
that circumstances admit to make it a
creditable affair for North Carolina
Now let the people generally uphold
their hands and interest themselves in
the work. The people should do their
part. They can help in the way Of
making collections and render much
assistance to those who are getting
together the exhibit.

KILLED ON THE TRAIN.

One negro named Grant Thomas
shot and killed another, George Wal
ker at Dorchite station, on the V. S..
q Z. road while on the train. The
cause of the deed was jealously,
Thomas becoming infuriated because
his sweetheart, Rosa Harper, who
had Tilted him permitted Walker to
sit by her side during their ride from
Chudrant station, where both the girl
and murderer live. After the shoot
ing Thomas jumped from the cars
which had about come to a standstill
and fled, pursued for distance by
some OF the train bands and a club
footed old negro who tried the effect
of bullets to stop the fleeing man.
But after one shot the old rusty Dis
tol would not revolve and the fngi-
tive escaped in the thicket.
Conductor Allen appeared on the
scene armed with a Winchester in
plenty of time to have dropped the
assassin, but he mistook the club
footed negro for the murderer and by
the. time explanations were made the
bushes had safely hidden the fleeing
man.
The murder was said to have been
cold blooded and deliberate, without
givins-the stricken man any knowl-
edge of the intention to commit the
deed, and it is further said that neith-
er of the men had ever seen each
other before.

WE LAMENT WITH THEM.

The many friends here of Mr.. W.
FL. Daily and family sorrow with
them in the death of the son and
brother. w. II. Daily, Jr., who met
with an accident causing his death in
Beaumont, Tex, on the 9th inst.
The unfortunate young man was
on top of a freight car engaged in ar
ranging a coupling, when he lost his
balance and fell to the track below
when his head was crushed by the
wheels of the slowly moving tram.
This was indeed sad blow to the
parents who were so suddenly called
on to yield up an idolized son and in
a manner so shocking.
Mr. Daily, the elder, was former
resident of Shreveport, where his
deep piety and consistent christian
life won him the respect of the un-
godly and the love, esteem and ad-
miration of those who strive to wor-
ship the Master. He and family
have many friends here who deeply
lament with them in great deep sor-
row and wish that words were able to
assuage their grief. 1t is useless to
say to these, trust God for this
because we feel that Brother
Daily never took his eyes from the
cross even when the son lay dead be-
fore his grief stricken family. That
God will bless and reward such a
faithful disciple all who know him
feel assured.

BE CAREFUL AND VIGILiNT.

Again we request our good citizens
to be on the alert during this and
the criminal term of our District
Court in connection with the slayers
of John McCort. 1t is absolutely
necessary to give our sheriff and
district attorney every evidence of
the moral support and assistance Of
our good, law-upholding citizens.
All this will be necessary to prevent
a miscarriage of justice and make the
trial farce.
The PRoGREss advocates giving the
accused fair trial. Grant to them
all the protection which an honest APP
plication OF the law promises, but no
more. Like the murdered man they
aro human creatures and are entitled
to the kind of treatment which hu-
manity owes to its kind, but no false
sentiment should give them more.
We owe something to society and the
law of our State as well as the ac-
cused, and each side should be given
fair hearing. An effort will be
made to release them at all hazards.
of course by due course of law.
This will be done, if their friends can
accomplish it, by a packed jury, if
no other means will win. Therefore,
We say let the good citizens be on
the alert and see to it that the law is
not made farce of to be mocked at
by every one who is able TO hire
shrewd, skillful lawyers.
Again, We say give these men a
fair and impartial trial in which pas
sion aud prejudice play no part, but
by all means let the good name of
our town, parish and State be as well
looked after as the interests
of the accused will be. The PROGRESS
simply asks this and that IL will con-
tinue to contend for, though in this,
as in other reform measures, it may
have to do battle alone.

WHAT A CHANCE.

An enterprise which should be the
best paying investment in Shreve-
port is the Waterworks Company.
When it desires to make a good
number of extra dollars it can simply
discharge all but few hands and
'close for repairs" 1t can continue
this for several days at time and as
often during the year as repairs
are necessary and is not forced to,
nor ever does, deduct acent for the
time it has failed to supply water.
The PRoaRsss does not accuse this
company, by inference or otherwise,
of doing this, but We just state this
as being easily possible if the COM
pany desired to strain this clause of
its contract.

THAT IMMIGRATION SCHEME.



The scheme proposed by MS two
weeks ago for organizing an immi-
grafton association seems TO us not
only feasible but easy of accomplish
ment.
Two facts are patent and need no
argument to sustain them. These
are
First. That every parish has al
ways had an immense amount OF land
which has never been cultivated or if
so it was many years ago.
Second. The exodus of 1--WE think
we ara safe in statiDg) thou. ands of
negroes have left many more acres
idle which formerly have been TILED
These being admitted, the conclu-
sion is equally as strong that this
State, muchly more so the communi-
ties where they exist, cannot afford
for the last condition 10 remain long
in existence. Hence, we must have
some one to supply the places of the
migrated negroes and. it will be an
easy matter to do so with an excel
lent class of small farmers who being
thrifty and frugal will add much
more to the States than will those
whom they supplanted. And while
we are securing these it will be but
little more trouble to get enough to
cultivate all the idle, waste land
which have never known q plow or
hoe.
The PRoGRgss' plan was for all the
North Louisiana parishes where such
lands were for sale to organize them
selves into a mammoth immigration
association, have plans and maps
made of their property with short
descriptive history of the parish men
tai, moral, social and financial, and
with these send abroad an agent who
could and would bring the offers be-
fore such people as were of the right
kind and were earnestly seeking
homes.
1t seems to us that plan of this
kind could not fail to- bring good re-
suits OF course it will require GER
IN amount OF money to defray the
ecessary expenses to put this pro-
Ject in working order but the amount
would be so small in comparison that
it would not be missed.
We were glad to see that that en-
terprising journal the Logansport
News reproduced our former article
but did not say whether it endorsed
our plan or not. TIE PRoeREss would
like to hear from the North Louisi-
ana press on this important subject.
Let them all discuss it any way. Let
us arrange for meeting. We sug-
gest January 10th next in Shreve-
port, but we are willing to agree to
almost anything to put this matter
in good working order.
Let each one of our North Louisi-
ana papers have something to say
and get an expression of opinion
from their readers. The columns of
The PRoGREss are open for the dis
cussion of this subject from any
source in this or any other parish
embraced in the boundaries de-
scribed.
But let us work.

A CHRISTMAS REMEMBRANCE.
