csme for tobacco setting, though
without them the ground was
damp enough. There is no
question but what a good pro-
portion Of the crop was set out
In the Western States during the
past week, and many planters
neglected other crops to get out
their tobacco. But many more
who have been delayed with
corn planting, and were as
anxious 20 get their corn as
their tobacco out, did not do as
much in the tobacco field as they
would have done had May been
more seasenable and allowed
for the setting Of the crop. Aud
| it is in this efowding Of work,
that had TO be neglected in May,
that the hope is that the tobacco
crop will be kept within reason
able bounds, for with regular
seasons there is hardly any
doubt but what a very large
crop would have been set out,
both in the BuFiey and the Dark
/ sections. But with farm work
so far behind it is hardly pos.

THE most discouraging indi-
cation Of the times in this coun-
try, is the almost universal dis
position to corrupt the ballot
and the public morals by the
use Of money in the pursuit Of
Office. This, if it Is permitted
TO 20 on unchecked, means
wholesale surrender to the pur-
chasable element-the political
Hessians Of the country and
the domination Of public affairs
BY their unprincipled and I'm
scrupulous leaders. Whether
there is enough Of public virtue
and Of courage remaining in the
land to call a halt upon this
march to degradation, remains
to be seen.

laid on a part Of his farm in lots

Being a farmer, he became
prominent IN the State Grange

but some friction arising he re-
signed In The spring of 1880 and
became an associate editor Of
The Raleigh News. In Septem-
Der Of that year the News was
consolidated with the Observer,
and Capt Ashe invited Colonel
Polk to become associate editor
of the News and Observer and
he continued with this paper
until the spring of 1881. His
relations in the editorial BUSH
ness were extremely agreeable
to him, but having concluded to
open at Raleigh a large depot for
the sale Of agricultural nipple
nents, he turned his attention
in that direction. We think he
later started an agricultural pa
per at Raleigh, but soon became
in some business enter
prises at the North. Subsequ
emily he returned to the State
and published the Progressive
Farmer at Winston. Along
about 1856 he removed his pa
per TO Raleigh. and shortly af-
was elected Secretary
Of the Farmers Alliance, a new
organization of the farmers
then being started at the South.
This position was of great as
sistance to him in bringing his
paper before the farmers, and
its circulation soon began to in
crease. In the meantime Col
Polk had been commissioned on
occasions to represent

most sanguine expectations Of
its founders.
His paper kept pace with the
growth of the order in North
Carolina, and eventually reach
ed the enormous circulation Of
twenty thousand welding an
influence heretofore unknown
among the people of this State.

to give the Farmers Alliance

EXCITEMENT OKLAHOMA
"A War Between whites ana
Negroes Imminent.


GUTHRIE, D. T. June IL
There is great excitement in
this city tonight occasioned
by two criminal assaults by me-
groes upon white women today.
A negro lad named Holly as
saulted Mrs. Charles Moore,
the wife of a freighter, who
was away from home at the
time. He was arrested, and a
mob surrounded the jail, threat
ening to lynch him. The ne
groes of the town claimed that
Holly was innocent, although
he had confessed his guilt to the
sheriff, and a race war seemed
imminent for a time. There
was much angry talk, Judge"
Perkins, a negro lawyer, being
spokesman for the colored peo-
pie. During the excitement,
he said: Let the whites harm
that man and the town will be
in ashes before morning.
The sheriff struggled the
prisoner from jail and took him
to Wichita, Kan, for safe keep
ing.
The second outrage was that
made upon the wife of James
Genken, who is the engineer of
the electric plant, by an m-
known negro, who escaped. A
posse, headed by Genken, is on
his trail, and will lynch him if
they capture him.
Guthrie, o. T., June 13-At /
o'clock this a. m. police officers
Lester and Kitchen, with one
or two citizens ordered a lot of
negroes stationed on the corner
next to the Jail, to move on.
Several offered resistance, but
the officers used their clubs eff
fectually. Several negroes ex
cited by the recent race distur-
Dances. jumped on boxes and
made speeches to the excited
crowd. Two or three shots
we're fired. A big burly negro
named Perkins yelled "hang
the editor Of the News" There
was a disposition to net upon
the suggestion, but the whites
defied them to do it.
Sheriff Nixon and his depu-
ties rushed in and quelled the
disturbance, and the excited
people were dispersed. The cdi-
tor Of the News walked down
Oklahoma Avenue between two
officers at 2 o'clock seemingly
secure. "a company to patrol
the city was organized, and is
under the leadership of good
men. Groups Of negroes stand

Death of Col. Polk.
From the News-O Observer.
On Monday morning. June
9th. we received a brief note
from DR.. Hays of Washington,
in which he stated that Col.
Polk continued serious ill-but
that he hoped to get him well
enough to attend the Omaha
convention. This was the first
intimation we had of the seri-
Gus illness of the distinguished
head of the Farmers Alliancein
the Union. From that day a
sincere sympathy was felt
throughout North Carolina, and
we doubt not, throughout the
entire South and largely in the
great Northwest, for Col. Polk
the distressing circumstances
that thus, with apparent
suddenness, put him in jeopardy
while still IN the vigor of active
and robust manhood. The very
suddenness Of the attack aug
mented the general interest. On
enquiry however, we learnt that
he had long been subject 10 the
malady that had now assumed
So serious d nature, and that on
previous occasions he had realiz.
ed his possible danger.
But devoted to the work which
absorbed his thoughts, wrapped
Up IN the cause he was seeking
to advance, he had not spared
himself and had taken no heed
Of the perl which incessant
stravelling and constant strain
continually increased. Blood
poisoning is said to have set in,
accompanied with a failure Of
the heart TO perform its custo-
mary function, and althoug his
system responded at first TO the
efforts of his skillful physicians,
and hope was entertained of his
recovery, yet after a short
struggle the end came and be
