clamor we hear on every side coming
I'D as wall of distress from the great
agricultural classes of the South and
the West. 1t is a cry too, that sooner
or later will be heard and the indie
pendent men of all classes, professions,
trades and occupations, will sooner or
later stand together as a wall of adj
amant between the oppressors of the
people who have used political dema-
gogues, Office brokers and chronic Office
seekers, and Office holding tricksters
to restrict and destroy the liberties of
the people, and check and retard the
progress and property of the farming
classes of the South and the West.
When the farming interests in North
Carolina languish, then lawyers and
all others may begintO prepare to shut
up shop and quit business, and hence
it is, very many of the objects sought
to be accomplished by the Peoples
party have my hearty sympathy,
however, much the methods to gain
the end may be open to unfriendly
criticism. People ought to remember
in criticising your platform that when
an old farmer goes to skin a skunk, he
does not put on his Sunday clothes
with lavender colored and delicate
tinted kid gloves of latest Partisan
style and manufacture. His object is
to skin the skunk, and the method of
doing it is of only secondary considera-
ton. The gangrene of political o II
ruption has crept into the body polite
and threatens poison to the whole sys
tenn of government. [ understand it
is the object of the Peoples party to
cut the gangrene out. The question
presented is, which is the better way
to do it? Shall we use the pen knife
or the broad axe2 The POple's party
say use the broad axe; but others say
the broad axe cuts too deep and makes
an ugly wound. Who shall say the
pen knife is a better instrument than
the broad axe?
Thanking you again for the honor of
your nomination, realizing too that in
this political campaign, as never before
in North Carolina, men will count for
little, but principles for everything, I
feel constrained under all the circum-
stances to decline the nomination.

TO THE FRIENDS OF REFORM.

I have been commissioned as State
Organizer for the Citizens Alliance
and Industrial Union, and request the
hearty cooperation of all friends of re-
form. The Citizens Alliance and In
dustrial Union is to be to the trades
men, merchants, laborers and others,
what the F. A. and I. u. is the farmers,
and was established to enable the peo-
pie of the cities and towns who are not
eligible to membership in the f. A. and
L .. to make an active, systematic and
effective fight for equal rights. There
is no money on hand to pay the ex-
penses of myself or any one to visit the
cities and form assemblies, and / ex-
pect my brother mechanics and friends
of purity to take up the work and
secure signers for an assembly in each
city. Write to n e for blanks and in
structions. When ready to organize,
notify me and l will come and give you
the secret work and put y GU in work
ing order. Remember that success or
failure lies with you, and that a sue
cessful fight demands organization.

There Is one part Of the county jail yet to

much worry. In the center Of the building
there is a dome III feet from the floor and
totally inaccessible except by balloon or

eral strong barred windows, and they, like
the balance Of the dome's interior, are abso
lutely black. showing in strong contrast
with the white walls below.
How to clean the dome has been a puzzle
chat every official about the building, in
GLIDING the judges Of the court, have en-
deayored to solve. The county commits
sioners suggested ascaffolding but the cost
would run up 70 800, and that was con
sidered too much for a simple cleaning Of
windows and couple Of eoats of white
wash on the dome. Block and tackle and
