REGULAR MEETING
JULY I4th, 1892.

WHEREAS, God in His infinite wis
dom has seen fit to remove from this
mundane sphere of human strife our
honored brother and leader, L. L. Polk,
who has sacrificed more time and en-
ergy In the interest of suffering hu
manity than any other American citi-
zen, living or dead. Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we humbly but re
luctantly submit to the will of Him
who doeth all things well.
3. That this Alliance extend it's sym
pathies to he.brotherhood everywhere,
and especially to the bereaved family
of our distinguished brother and leader.
8. That in L. l.. Polk we See the
highest type of manhood and patriot
ism, and IN him we find nothing low
or degrading, who, rather than soil the
wilderness of his own soul would have
sacrificed his own life upon the altar
of his country.
4. That we extend our thanks to the
managers of the Richmond & Danville
Railroad for kindness in carrying the
dead body of our beloved brother and
funeral escorts free of charge.

Office in the other. They brighten; they

the destruction of the Alliance rests
the hopes of ~plutocracy. Destroy this

an overdraWn picture. The churches

DIsGRACEFUL DEMOCRATIC )
SPEAKING AT LIBERTY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-There was a Demo
cratic speaking here on the 10Th, by
Judge Womack, of Pittsooro, N. 9.
speech from beginning to end was
v%illi6cation, Islander and abuse directed
exclusively at the "Third party" as
he termed it. The vile abuse he gave
no doubt has made votes for the Peo-
pies party. The introduction by Prof.
Weatherby, of Liberty High School,
has stirred the Peoples party men
thoroughly, in which he said that
when Gen. Weaver got to hell he
would be the meanest man there ex-
cept Gen. Sherman. This the common
from a man under whom they have
put their sons and daughters for their
mental and moral culture, Please In
sert this as we want the people OF
North Carolina to know where men
stand and where they can be found.
Yours ~fraternally,
w. l. KTvETT.

allow foreign productions to be sent to
his country, the boats must come over
empty. carry back a load of our cotton
which must pay the expenses of the
boat coming over empty as well as 60
ing back, which causes a heavy de-
cline in the price of farm products
These are only drops from the we'll
filed bucket of unjust and oppressive
legislation, instigated and engineered
through Congress by this class OF pa
triOtic citizens.
What per centage of the lawyers are
there in this reform movement on the
farmers side9 About ~one-tenth of 1
per cent. This being so, are we not
right, with the records of Congress at
hand, in asserting that this Is a cam
paign "of the lawyers, for the lawyers
and by the lawyers9' Is it not reason
able to suppose that this class of pGtri-
otto citizens have their eyes upon great
big NE Their past record go 20 prove
it. There is not one, perhaps, who Is
not looking forward to the time when
Federal or Congressional hOnOrs will
be bestowed upon him as a result Of his
unseIfsb patriotism. Ninety per cent.
of the gentry opposing US in this cam
paign never blistered their hands at the
ploW handles or worn a ten-cent rush
hat beneath the scorching rays Of a
July sun. Yet they bubble up all over
this land of ours and with effrOntery
and audacity unparalleled ask the
sons of toll, the only life blood of this
and all other nations, to again stain
our hands by casting ballots for
these d~egenerated and deceptive old
parties. Reformers all over this land,
let me say to you, as you value your
liberty and your rights, and the low
able wife standing nobly by your side,
and the children whom God has given
you, strike out with all the strength of
mind and character you have and let
US redeem this land from the demons
of usurpation and oppression. The
eternal God of Heaven has not given
all of us a silvery tongue or a cOllegi-
ate education, SO grammatical errors
in speech and writing is expected. Let
our adversaries get all the comfort out
Of that they can, they will never get
more, but he has given US a level head
and a cool brain, so let us assert our
independence and defend our position
until the sun Of time with us shall have
passed beneath the western horizon.

TIME TO THINK.

LOUIsBURG, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-The time has come for
men to think closely and carefully and
act wisely. Passion and prejudice have
ruled us too long. l want to ask two
plain questions here and give the an
swers according to the best lights be
fore me-:
LIST. Can reform come through the
Democratic party2 I answer positively
and emphatically, No. But it is wise
to search for the principle of things
Why not2 If the Democratic party
were to attempt to reform the abuses
of which the people justly complain,
the monopolists and the whlskeyltes
would go over bag and baggage to the
Republican party, and it would kill
the Democratic party as deal as bee
tor. This the politicians know They
promise the people help to get IN,
knowing at the same tune that they
will be utterly helpless IN the hand of
these two factions.
9d Can reform come through the
Republican party9 No. Why7 If it
were To attempt reform the gold bugs.
monopolists and whiskeyites would go
has and baggage to the Democratic.
party and XIII the Republican party.
IF therefore, reform ever comes, it
must of necessity be outside of either
of the old parties. 1t is simply folly
to think about, much less talk of, either
reforming our abuses. The man who
votes for either, votes against reform.
against his own personal interests, and
against the interest of his family.
What does he vote for? I answer. for
the continuance of the whole train of
abuses and evils of which he complains

GEN. WEAVER AS NEIGHBOR AND
CHRISTIAN.

Mr.. EDTToR read much in the
partispan papers derOgatory Of Gen,
Weaver, anu strenuous efforts are be-
ing made by interruptions politicians
to blacken his character. Some are
publicly declaring that he is the most
profane man on earth, and Christian
men are being demonstrated with for
voting for such a prodigy of profanity.
Under such circumstances it might be
well to hear something from those VINO
have the best right to epeak IN such
matters, his home people.
The Chicago Tribune sent a reporter
a short time since to Bloomfield, Iowa,

RUTHERFORDTON, N. @.
Mr.. EDTTOR:-I have been constantly
engaged in the practice of medicine in
this and adjoining counties since 1866.
I know all men of any consequence in
this section / am familiar with their
principles and sentiments, not only
from political premises but morally,
socially and other wise. l am assured
that there exists 20 a profound senti-
ment in favor of combining the strength
of all labOring classes in an effort to
change the administration of affairs,
State and National, in such a manner
as will lessen the burden of taxation
first, and secure q just and more eco
nomical expenditure of public funds,
a fair and equitable adjustment of
Transportation and passenger rates on
railways and other highways, but above
all to aid the State and Nation of the
vast horde of corrupt, unscrupulous
and mercenary demagogues, whom We
all know are, most a~ssuredly, dragging
us to anarchy and ruin.
Personally / have at no time had a
feeling of satisfaction with the past
records of democracy, with it's leaders
at present l am far from satisfied, to
say nothing of their opposition to an
honest silver dollar, their do nothing
habits, etc, The Republican party has
at NJ time held principles that l felt
willing to support, but SO far al 1 have
informed myself the principles pro,
claimed by the Peoples party are just,
are rational and offer the only hope the
mass of the people of this country have
held out to them.
A very large majority of the best
men in this section favor the principles
of the Peoples party. The subject has
been agi6ated here very little until
within the last few weeks. They need
information upon the subject, and it is
for that reason I write you and ask for.

The latest pretty fancy is in the use OF
sealing-wax on feminine correspondence,
and not little time and taste have been ex-
pended in thinking out ali the curious de-
tails of wax etiquette. To brides is devoted

while on the slender sticks of wax are em-

letter-wax takes on a more practical tint
and her envelope flaps are held by disks of
dark green. red. blue. brown, yellow or
violet wax.
For regular correspondence and small
notes one chosen shade is invariably en-
ployed, but tact and discrimination are
shown by sealing all written dinner invita-
tiens with a rich brown wax, sparkling with
glints OF gold perhaps. A note bidding her
women friends to luncheon is disinguis he'd
by red seal; for afternoon tea gray-green
is the proper shade; for balls white wax
touched with gold specks is proper. The
wax, however, is only used to hold in safety
in the envelope written card or folded
note. Engraved invitations must trust to
the muelaged flap for security.
For widows the laws for the use OF seal
Ing-wax are severe, indeed. Dead, luster-
less black is the proper form so long as the
letter-paper wears black border. When
the border and long veil are replaced by
cheerfuller signs the wax brigbtens TO a
