curious rains on Saturday last. The re-
suit was a cool, damp atmosphere, like
that of Il country cellar on a hot sum-
mer's day, when the walls sweat and
drip with moisture. To those pioneers
who had climbed the outer stairs and
We're seeking their places the cool moist
ure was grateful change, though not
permanent one. In the smoke-hazed
streets, the slowly moving and reeking
crowds betrayed an impulse toward the
lake shore where the great wigwam is.
A. fringe of spectators was soon bound to
the fore rail Of the upper gallery. Hun
dreds of others assembled around the
aisles i'll the lower gallery and proceeded
to the front places. All seemed to have
brought fans and the flash of these be-
fore the hundreds of dripping faces lent
life to the growing scene.
Umbrellas i'll Use.
Directly afterwards rain and thunder
storm arose, rendering necessary the
lowering Of the canvass round the air
and light spaces under the roof. The
almost Cilnmerian darkness thus pro-
duced made the Chicago convention at
midday as gloomy for the time being as
the Minneapolis gathering was at mid
night when the electric lights We're shut
off.
Notwithstanding the canvas protection
the rain beat in and umbrellas We're
freely raised in the galleries, which We're
not half full.
Occasional bright flashes of lightning
lit up the hall. It was a welcome relief
and was hailed with cheers when the
band in the gallery back of the chair
man at 1926 struck up a lively air. The
storm was not of long duration. In ten
minutes the hall began to brighten, and
five minutes later the sun was out again.
At 1880 most of the delegates We're in
their seats, but the galleries were
sparsely filled. Chairman Brice, of the
national committee, was on the plat
form. His entrance has passed un-
noticed, but though everything seemed
in readiness there was some further de-
lay and even the iatermittant applause
from the galleries did not hurry the pro-
ceedings.
Five minutes later Ex-Governor Camp
bells entrance was greeted with cheers
and applause, the Ohio delegates rising
i'll his lloICr. AS most Of the delegates
We're III their seats many of the silken
banners with the names of the states
were folded up and put away.

Illinois, offered the following:
Resolved, That this convention tender
its profound sympathy to that distin-

finished it was adopted unanimously.

The Great Obstacle to Farming.

L1TrLE's MILLS, N. c., Sept. 28.-It is
with sincere hope that trust the farmers
will ponder well the views of Gen. Bar
ringer on the tariff. Your correspondent
has had quite large experience as a
farmer, and, may add, possibly on as
good land as you may find in the State,
and perhaps has made more per acre, or
per 'mule" power, considering the ex-
pense, than any one in the State.
Like Gen. Barringer, 1 have offered
prizes, rented, hired, worked on halves
in fact, tried every conceivable way. For
the last few years my hands and myself
could not have worked harder and lived
more economically. But instead of max
ing any money, [ have lost money, and
to day am poorer man than was five
years ago, while my land will not bring
half the money, notwithstanding it has
been we'll kept up in every particular, as
the results from the present crop will de-
monstrate.
And now why is this the fact? In my
opidion discrimination against tho farmer
answers the question, and in the pirticu-
lars thereof, it cannot be better answered
than in the views set forth by Gen. Bar
ringer--tariff tax. A one horse farmer
will buy something like this bill and pay
a tax accordingly, says the Rocket:

The Coalition.

The Baltimore Sun publishes what
Secretary Foster recently said in regard
to the object and purpose of the third
party in the South, considered from a re.
publican standpoint. Let Democrats read
and weigh every word carefully. No
words are strong enough to characterize
the leaders in this conspiracy to enable
the negro to rule in the South agair, Can
Southern white men submit to such
means being made effectiveP This is
what the Sun says:
The secretary sees some very gorgeous
rainbows in the Southern skies, and he
expects electoral votes for Harrison and
Reid in States that are usually considered
in the Democratic column. According to
his prophecies the solid South is a thing
of the past. He said Virginia was re
publican State, and though the: Republi-
cans might not carry it, there was no
assurance that Mr.. Cleveland would He
has great faith in the third party move
ment throughout the entire South as an
ally of the Republicans. and does not
make any secret of the intention of the
Republicans to work the third party for
all there is in it in all the States where
it is at all powerful. He says all through
the South third party men are to be ap
pointed deputy marshals and supervisors
of elections and are to have complete
charge of the election machinery so far
as it is in the hands OF the federal au
thorities. He thinks the result will be
that the combined Republican and third
party vote will exceed the Democratic
vote in number of States now conf
IDENTIFY counted in the Democratic
column"

Two WAR Enthusiastically there
were placed in the State library two war
relics, one was a fragment OF the "battle
flag" of the 7th N. G. infantry, the regi-
ment commanded by the late Col. Ed.
Graham Haywood. On the fragment the
word "Sharpsburg" is painted; being the
name of one of the battles in which the
regiment distinguished itself. The 7th
regiment was in Gen. L. OBJ. Branch's
brigade and it was near this flag that he
was killed. At the battle of Gaines Mill
seven color-bearers were killed with this
flag in their hands. Col. Reuben P
Cameron was also killed while holding it.
The regiment was in many desperate
battles, such as the Wilderness, Sharps-
burg, Charlottesville, Gettysburg, etc
Before the surrender at Appomattox the
flag was torn into fragments, one Of
these has all these years been wrapped
around a piece of the historic zap
pie tree" at Appomattox and this
piece of wood is, like the fragment of the
bag, placed in the library. Mr.. Birdsong
is having case prepared for such wal
relics.-Rnles6h Observer.

Some Very Old Laws.

We are IN possession of some very old
laws OF North CaroIinA-away back
yonder in 1855 '87-'90-'91 and 1901 and
'O6 They ale very intereGting to look
and compare them with the laws then
and now and the printing and binding
reminds one of Old times sure enough.
Somo of these laws were printed in
New Berne, Others in Edenton and
some in Raleigh.
On the 10Th day of November, 1885,
''ah act for establishing militia in this
State, was passed. All white persons
from 18 to so years composed the
militia.
Militiamen were paid for their services
in those days. A lieutenant colonel, for
actual service, received Is shillings per
day; a major IL and "sixpence," a
sergeant, trumpeter, drummer and fifer
FIVE, and the men who killed and were
killed, tho privates, got four.
A law was passed at this session (1795)
| allowing the commissioners of Wilmington
to lay off streets and to build market
houses, and TO dig cellars under the
markets to be rented out to help raise
revenue for the city. Butchers had to
pay percentage on all the meats they
| sold.
An aot was passed Dec. 29, 1889, "fol
men who we're disabled in the service
OF the United States during the late
war"
On the same day an act was passed
imposing "a ground rent, not exceed
ing 20 shillings annually, on all piaz
zas and porches in the town of Tar
boro." s
In 1875 the public printer was allowed
$500 year salary.
Bounties were paid for killing wolves
wild cats, panthers, bears, crows anc
squirrels in several counties, Wake
among them. For killing wolf q
shillings were paid, and for wild cat
three.
In. 1890 law was passed "to restrain
all married persons from marrying agar
whilst their former husbands or wives ar,
living"
| Horse stealing was made felony II
1890, the punishment being death with
out benefit of clergy"
Hillsboro had new court house built
in 1890.
Henry Emanuel Lutterlow, in 1890
was allowed by lottery, to run five years
to raise money to enable him to brins
foreigners in this State.
The University of North Carolina wa
given power in 1901 to raise money BY
lottery.
Militia service was established il
1878.
In 1906 auctioneers were appointed b,
commissioners in several counties ant
they were required to give bond in tn
sum of e5 900.
Concord was Incorporated in 1909

This will take one bale of his best cot
ton to pay the tax imposed by the pro-
tective tariff.
The intelligent farmer is as much inter-
ested as anybody in measures that will
advance the general prosperity of all
| classes, but just now ho is more interested
in measures that will first remove the dis
elimination against him, and place him
on an equal footing with the rest of the
procession. 10 do this, fellow farmers of
North Carolina, the only hope that l can
see is to vote the Democratic ticket and
for Cleveland.
Your correspondent was a strong mem
ber of the Alliance, hoping through its
| channel to do something to alleviate the
present condition of the farmers. l am
| a young man with no family, and not
compelled to farm; but, having been
raised on the farm, like the business,
| and want to see the farmers succeed-and
| success is almost at our door if we will
only stand together. 1 regret the course
of many of our Alliancemen who have
| espoused the cause of the of Peoples
party. But am sure if they will give
the subject thought, al! will be right by
November next
Every other occupation in this country
yields larger return for the capital in,
vested, and the labor, intelligence and
ability employed than farming This is
why the boys do not stay on the farm,
but 60 to the city and enter other pur.
suits Men of means and intelligence will
not farm; they prefer any other occupa-
tion to that which brings them in contact
with mother earth. This accounts for
the rapid increase in the cities and de-
crease in the country.

N. c. Weather Crop Bulletin,
CENTRAL OFFICE Raleigh, N.

CENTRAL OFFICE Raleigh, N. G.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Monday,
October 3rd, 1892, show that the week
has been generally fair and very dry. No
rain fell any where. The temperature has
been below the normal, with light frosts
in the Western District on the 18th Sep
tember, and in the Central District
Monday morning. The weather has been
favorable for farm work, but rain is
needed to help fall blowing, which has
been greatly delayed by the dryness.
The weather during the entire season
has not been very favorable, with the
result of generally poor crops every
where
Eastern District.-The weather has
been very fine for cotton picking, which
is progressing rapidly. The crop is
short nearly everywhere. Peanut dig.
ging has commenced, this crop is about
the average in some places, below in
others. The week has been to dry for
turnips and gardens. The late cool, dry
weather has damaged rice slightly. The
yield of rice will be the largest ever pro-
duced in the State.
Central District.-Oats are being seeded
Wheat land nearly all prepared. Tobacco
is nearly all housed. The weather has
been fine for picking cotton, and fol
curing tobacco and late fodder. Rain ii
needed for potatoes and turnips.
Western District.-Light frosts oc.
Cured on the morning of the 2sth, which
did no damage. The weather has been
very dry. Cotton picking is going or
rapidly. Seeding wheat and oats very
late in this district. The cotton crop viii
be about half.

az An old farmer from Jacks on
county recently talked with the Athens
(Ga.) Banner and thus explained the
cause of the hard times: at is not the
low price of cotton" said the farmer, "for
have often sold it at six and seven cents
and thought [ was doing we'll, but car.
ried all the money home with me; l did
not leave any of it in Athens, for | made
what | needed on the farm. You don't
have any old fashioned gins and screws to
pack cotton in; you don't hear the wheel
and cards going in the kitchen on rainy
day; you don't see any plow stocks, az
helves, hoe handles, baskets and horse
collars made at home. They all 90 to
town and get them. You don't see any
big pen full of fattening hogs around the
house. You go to town to get your meat.
[ never saw a painted plow stock with an
iron foot until the yankees brought them
down hero. If you will go back to those
old times, and make what you live on at
home, there will be no Third party nor
any. one asking for $50 per capita. You
60 to town too often after things that
can be raised at home. Try it and sec II

Cotton and the Tariff.
Deere .scd Power of Raw Cotton to Purchase
Manufactured Calico.

Deere iscd Power of Raw Cotton to Purchas'
Manufactured Calico.
In England an other free markets
calico goes down when cotton goes down
bu in this country with unprotected cot
ton falling, protected calico is rising. In
1910 standard calico sold in England at
| over IL cents where it now sells for
barely a third of that Improved
machinery and pew labor-saving inven-
tions have brought down the free teade
price, and the protected" prico neces-
sarily follows it down, with only such
difference as can be maintained under the
high tax shutting out competition. But
while this is true, pound of cotton will
buy less calico now than in 1856 under
what the Republicans call democratic
free trade" In 1856 with middling cot
ton at 1870 cents a pound and standard
calico at $50 cents yard, pound OF
cotton bought 08 yards of calico. This
week with middling cotton at 6.15 cents
pound and standard prints at $50 cents
yard, a pound of cotton buys only a
little over nine tenths of yard of
calico.
Comparing the prices Of middling cot
ton in 1864 and in February of this year
we find that in 1864 one pound Of cotton
would buy over three yards of calico,
while in February of this year it would
buy only a yard and third. In bleached
shirtings pound of cotton would bay
two yards in 1864 and only three quarters
Of yard in February, 1892. The fol
lowing table was prepared on the basis of
February prices, they being the latest
given in the Treasury manual of statistics
for the year.

Before the passage of the Mckinley
bill the great Improvements in machinery
were resulting in rapid cheapening of the
free trade prices of the manufactured
necessaries of life, and protected prices
were falling accordingly. In 1890 a
pound of middling cotton brought nearly
yard and three-quarters 1.64 yards)
of standard calico. This week pound
of middling cotton buys not quite yard
(O.97 yard of calico.
Thus although prior to 1860 under the
Democratic tariff calico sold for cents a
yard above its present price in money, it
sold for very considerably less in it's own
raw material than it does now. And
while cotton has gone down since the
passage of the Mckinley bill, the protected
calico manufactured from this cheaper
cotton has gone up. It makes differ
ence, and the difference counts all along
the line. In 1890 500 pound bale of
cotton would buy $50 yards Of standard
calico. Now it will buy only 485 yards.
The bale of cotton has lost 335 yards of
calico in buying power in the two years
of Mckinley prices.

mer's hide" says the German proverb
This is one of the ways the cutting is
