A DENIAL FROM BRO. SPENCE

BRADLEY's STORE, Harnett Co. N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-After my return to
Raleigh from the State Alliance meet
ing, held at Greensboro, it has been
reported that l spoke lightly of the
body and said it was not what I ex-
pected it would be. I say the report
is without foundation and a base false
hood. l say further, as I stated to all,
that it was, 1 think, a grand success,
and all the business was transacted in
harmony and good spirit to all con-
cerned; and l further say a report was
made at the close Of the body that the
smell of liquor had not entered ttat
hall during the sitting of the State
Alliance. What a blessing to the Order!
On April I'd, 1892, Geo. Washington,
the father of his country, signed the
bill for the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of Is to
L; and whereas, this law continued in
force unchanged except that in 1882,
with the signature of Andrew Jackson,
President, the ratio was altered to 16
to 1 until 1878, when it was s~tealthily
repealed; and whereas, under this law
of Washington, Jefferson, Adams and
Madison, with the ratio of Jackson,
the producing and Industrial classes
prospered, and I think the old land
mark will bring prosperity again. Sue

fundamental principle in matrimony,
which seems altogether beyond the con-
ception of 80 young q journalist. The

has its elimination in the closing sem

that tho mineral resources of Southwest

OF those resources. The forecast has
proven true.
AS mines havo been opened and fur
naces cree ted Roanoke has grown. The
production of upward of 5000, 000., tons
OF coal in 1892 has had u sure reflection
in Roanoke. Tho principal supplies of
the coal field arc drawn from the job
hing houses of Roanoke. Not u few of
tho leading coilieries are operated by
Roanoke men and Roanoke capital.

trunk. May it live long and prosper
