Chairman of the Committee on Cor

distIller IN writing.
Now what good could come out of a

would bow down before a distillery
rather than allow a just bill of incor-
poration to pass in favor of a great in
stitution of learning9 Elon College
was only asking what all the colleges

in reading articles against us. You do

H FOOL

A writer in the arkansas Farmer, in
an article under the above caption, says
that it is no wonder we are called the
"fool farmers" by the smart fellows
in the grain pits and the cotton ex-
changes, when we work the whole
year., in sunshine and rain, with all
the hazards of storm and drouth, to
dig a little batch of something out of
the ground to turn over to these smart
fellows at whatever price they NAV
see fit to name, always the very lowest
wholesale price, to buy back again at
the very highest retail price, after
from three to dozen profits have been
made between the leaving and return
ing to their hands. For thirty years
this thing has gone on and continually
grown worse, right before the eyes of
the farmers, and only until recently he
has persisted in shutting his eyes to
the fact, and has only begun to see
dlmly now by the har lest kind of
knocks and bitter reverses. The "fool
farmer" r enough, is the OILY man
on the green earth who neither puts a
price IN Whist he makes or what he
buys.

OH, HOW THEY DO LEI.

The p~lutocratic press is muddled
over the objects and action of the Biz
mingham Conference. Some of them
assert that it was a vigorous repudia-
ton of the Peoples party. Others are
equally sure that it was an unequivo-
cal endorsement of it. These differing
opinions are given only as opinions.
But they undertake to give facts-and
here is where they revel in the broad
and congenial and familiar domain of
refined lying. For example: they say
that the test vote which killed the
Third party stood 81 to Is, when the
truth is no test vote was taken. They
say that a certain fellow in the confer
ence made a gallant fight against the
Third party and squelched it. Not a
word of truth in it. They say that a
Third party President from n of
the States absolutely burst into tears
when he saw it was defeated. Another
one out of whole cloth. To show that
absolute harmony prevailed, look at
the address and you will e that all
the gentlemen present from the States
signed it. Keep or guessing, We will
certainly not aid you in finding out
what the Conference did. Are you
puzzled9 Keep up your m~isrepresenta-
ton. Don't you feel badly3 Don't
you wish you did know what the Birs
mingham Conference means? Wait
and see.
STILL ANOTHER.
The Atlanta Constitution says Col.
Polk went to Georgia to start a Third
party daily" That he assured the
friends of it money to start the enter
prise and that the FUNDS are from Re,
p%ublicans." That all this is done "to
divide and split up the South" THE
paper will be started on Republican
capital" All this batch of falsehoods
is copied in one of the Raleigh papers.
Now we ask that Raleigh paper to pub
fish that Col. Polk heard not one word
of a daily" except from the reporters
of the Atlanta papers, and that this is
all the information he has in regard to
it. There will be hundreds of thou
sands of dollars expended in buying
up Republican and Democratic papers
during the campaign but not one dol
lar of that corruption fund will be
offered to Col. Polk or to any true ALI
ance or reform paper. Money and lots
of it is being spent in this way this
very day. This paper will open a col
umn one of these days for the popular
vote for President of the Annanias
Club. The Constitution will give some
Of the boys a tight race for it.

SAME ON THE OTHER SIDE.
The Franklin Press saws:

Ihe FTGnEt1n Press says:
"The towns of Youngsville, Frank
linton and Louisburg, although they
cast nearly or about one-fifth of the
Democratic vote of the county, were
not allowed a single delegate to the
State Convention. When our friends
from the outside townships ref1e It
over this fact, they will no doubt come
to the conclusion that they have failed
to deal out equal justice to ALL"
1t does look pretty tough. But we
learn that the towns have treated the
country people in the same way in a
good many places. Not only that, but
have refused to allow them a chance to
vote. So the Times need not complain.

defenses of a nation are to be found in
the loyal hearts of it's citizens, and the
most powerful citadel for the safety of
it's liberties is in the homes of it's people,
then the above facts might afford them
food for profitable reflection.
