that Prof. Collier Cobb, son Of Rev. N.
B. Cobb, and perhaps known better as
the author of Cob5's Map of North

Geology and Mineralogy in the State
University at Chapel Hill. In Prof.
Cobb we have a splendid example of
what a young man with energy, pluck
and perseverance, can accomplish. He,
depending upon his own natural re-
sources; left the State a few years

so much credit to himself that for three

name of a new paper laid upon our
desk last week. 1t is published by
Josephus Daniels, at Raleigh, N. c.,
and furnised to subscribers at 5000
per year, Josephus gets out a beauti-
full paper, but he is still trying to
straddle everything, claiming to stand
squarely for all the reforms the Ali
ance demands, still he champions the
cause which has opposed them bitterly
from the first. Start right, brother
Josephus, and you will succeed, but
do not endeavor to run with the hare
and bark with the hound. Be either
one thing or the other; let your eye be
single upon a definite principle, and
success will more likely crown your
efforts, and you will be honored for
your sincerity and honesty of purpose,
even though the world should not ap-
prove your course.

GRAND JUNCTION, Col, Aug. 2.
General Weaver's tour through Col
orado may best be termed a triumph
ant procession. Everywhere he speaks
the people throng to hear him defend
the cause of industry against the en-
enactment of Federal monopoly, and
everywhere it is manifest that a gigan-
tic political upheaval has taken place
among the rank and file of the people,
Wherever the train stops at the small
stations and mining towns along the
railroad the people assemble, regardless
of past political association, to catch q
glimpse of this distinguished champion.
Yesterday five thousand people met
him at the depot in Aspen and escorted
him to the hotel.
In the afternoon he addressed an
audience in the open air of fully ten
thousand persons, and another fully
as large at night. Mrs. Lease also
spoke at both meetings, and by her
marvellous eloquence led the people to
the highest point of enthusiasm. The
mines were for most part closed down
in honor Of the occasion. At the clio sc
of the evening meeting a Weaver and
Field Club was organized with more
than two thousand members The
Silver League of COLORADO in State
Convention has endorsed the Omaha
platform and the mines by a two-third
vote, and it is safe to say that the PEG
pies party will poll in November three
out of every four votes cast in the
State. Colorado, the keystone in the
group of States west of the Missouri,
joins her sister States in the great
struggle for industrial emancipation.
The Peoples party will now push it's
banner eastward beyond the Missis-
sippiandlook southwark for protection
to its right plank.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

~ Inc date Tor the PIC nc al bar

county, has been changed to Aug. IS.
~ 1t is amusing to hear some peo-
pie in certain circles talking about how
they are going to whip the boys in

The Peoples party Congressional
Convention for the Four.h district will
be held in Metropolitan Hall, Raleigh,
on the 18th; State Convention same
place on the 10Th.
The Ner8 and Observer has
learned through a special CORES
pondent that Harry Skinner has
crossed the river and burned the
bridges behind him, and that E. A.
Moye has done the same thing.
Be sure to read in another column
of this issue the account from the
Southern Alliance Farmer Of the das-
tardly assault upon Col. w. L Peek
and G. @. Post, two Peoples party
speakers, by a crowd of roughs at
Quitman, Ga.
At the Congressional Convention
of the g. o. d. o., held in Raleigh on
the Sd instant, there wasmore signs of
whiskey in one short afternoon than
there was in the Convention at Omaha
with it's more than 400 delegates and
several thousands visitors.
A private letter from Mcdowell
county states that the Alliance cause
is gaining strength and new members
at every meeting, but that which
astonishes the g. o. p. leaders most is
the way the people are leaving their
ranks and swarming to the Peoples
party,
We are requested to say that the
Moore County Peoples Party Club will
hold their next meeting at Lemon
Springs Station, August goth. F. D.
Koonce, nominee for Congress in the
Third district, and other speakers are
expected. A big day for the Peoples
party is anticipated.
We suppose there was never a
larger proportion of the Democratic
party of Wake seen together before as
was in Raleigh Saturday, July 3Oth at
their County Convention. 1t is said
that every true blue from some town
ships were present. Still we have
seen as large conventions before. How
is it?
The election for State officials in
Alabama came off August 1st The
Democratic party split into two fac
lions. and had two tickets in the race.
The Peoples party had no ticket in
the field. WHAT you see in the papers
about the tremendous majority of the
Democratic over the Peoples party,
and its everlasting destruction, is all
nonsense,
y. Democrats are very fond of max
ing sneering and sarcastic filings at the
People's party when they learn that 6
man who has been a Republican is
with us, still they crow like game
cocks when T. M. Argo joins the
Democratic Club, and they send Moses
A. BIedsoe to the Congressional Con
vention as delegate. Strange things
are being wrought by the influence O
the Peoples party.
