THE PRIMARIES.

It is highly Important that ever
citizen of the county ~ho feels an 10
tcrest in good experimentation
every true teen does feel lt-should
attend the primary convention he:"
in his township on Thursday 12tb.
There is evidently great unrest and
dissatisfaction among the people.
Some are clamoring for Third
party because they think they can
not get relief through the Democratic
party. he more conservative ele'
ment Of toe citizens inside and out
side of the Alliance prefer to stick to
the old democracy and make tneIr
demands through the party OF their
lifelong political faith. This is
correct,
Now, III order TO gain complete vic
tory ever republican rule and malad-
ministratlon of public affairs, let Us
all he straight democrats. select our
county and state delegates accord

our homes and hearthstones and the
dear ones dependent on US will DE

chances, nay, the certainty of negro
rule will stare Us in the face, and he
who promulgates teachings and
principles to the contrary will be
responsible.
Gentlemen, let US have harmony;
aud let that harmony be promoted,
not ty concession on any ones part
but bv strict adherence to demo
cratic principles aud white snpre-
macy, for which We have all laborei

The Alliance constitution declar-
ing the organization to be non-par-
tisan in plain ana unequivocal terms,
how can the order become political !?
1t cannot and exist long.
Demagogues have crept into the
Alliance and with ignohle ends in
view are sapping the very foundation
Of this noble order; and unless a
check is put on them they will bury
it, and the last hope Of the farmer to
preserve an Organization will 60
glimmerins like the Grange and
leave not shadow behind.
There is need of patriotism, need of
men, not office seekers and politi-
clans; and well may the Alliance and
all others who desire the prosperity
of the country cling only to that
which ls good.
These are the crude views of one
who wishes his people to have just
and equitable laws, executed by
honest, faithful men, from township
constable to President, in strictly
ronpsrtisan spirit. @. E. M.

Let the Co,nmittee try it and they

following the suggestion of THE

One train a day each way the
Adcunce says makes Scotland Neck

there were Only few moments work
in the convention; but what diff

are passing every hour or not if men
are not ready to ride on them
Now, come down little, brother,
and let US have the convention, and
So at least give US chance to see
something and somebody in our

Now, seriously, Scotland Neck is
really about the most convenient
poiut to reach. From the Kinston
section persons could leave home
early aud reach Scotland Neck bv
the 10 o'clock train and return at
5, P. NJ. From points along the
main nUe of the Wilmington and
"eldon railroad, persons could leave
home on the early "sboo-fy" train by
way of Rocky Mount and Tarboro,
make connection at Hobgood on the
Norfolk and Carolina railroad and
reach Scotland Neck by 10, 6. ~,

ACTING Is A GIFT,

In his address to the Yale students
Wednesday night Joseph Jefferson said:
Acting is more gift than an art /
have seen child impress an audience
by its natural grace and magnetism. The
little creature was too young to know
what art meant, but it had the gift of
acting. The great value of art when ap-
piled to the stage, is that it enables the
performer to reproduce the gift and so
move his audience night after night,
even though he had acted the character
a thousand times. In fact, we cannot
act character too often, if we do not
lose interest in it. But when the con-
slant repetition pals on the actor it will
as surely weary his audience. When
you lose interest-stop acting.
"This loss of interest on the part of an
actor may not be visible in the action or
pantomine; but unless care and judg-
ment are observed, it will surely betray
itself in the delivery of the language, and
more particularly in the long speeches
and soliloquies. In dialogue the spirit of
the other actors serves to stimulate and
keep him up; but when alone and unaid-
ed by the eye and presence of a compan-
ion, the old story fails to kindle the fire,
because it is old to him.
u knew whenever this happened to
me that had been unconsciously falling
into error, and l felt that the fault would
increase rather than deminish with time
If could not hit upon some method to
check it. L began by listening to each
important question as though it had
been given me for the first time, turning
the query over in my mind and then an
swering it, even at times hesitating, as
if for want of words to frame reply.
This, of course, was the other extreme,
