DEBr-PAYINa.

Much has been said and written
and printed, recently, upon the sub
ject of debt paying and sound and
logical advice has been offered in the
discussion-points made that have
received general communication. We
do not propose to antagonize the
arguments used, but it occurs to us
that the dissertations lave been
almost entirely from the creditor
standpoint and we see danger in
them. in that they may stimulate a
disposition to Cypress the honest
debtor-the man that is in debt by
necessity, is anxious to pay and will
pay at the earliest possible moment.
There IS such q class, however indis.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The question of good roads is a
very important one, in which people
of both town and country should be
interested, and we are glad to see
that it is receiving very earnest at.
tention at this time. Recently local
meetings have been held at Chapel
Hill, Raleigh and Asheville, which
were we'll attended and developed
enthusiasm upon the subject.
Our purpose now is to direct special
attention to the fact that a State
Road Conference, under the auspices
of the North Carolina Road Improve
ment Association will be held at
Charlotte, on Sept. II and 18th
and to urge that Forsyth shall be
represented in the conference.
The interchange of views among
delegates from all sections of the
State must prove beneficial and our
county should share the advantages
to be thus derived.
Information concerning the confer.
ence is set forth in the following pre-.
amble and resolution, adopted at
the Raleigh. meeting:
Whereas, The North Carolina Road
Improvement Association, which has
recently been organized, is by dis
tributing literature on the subject,
by organizing branch associations
in every county of the State, and in
other ways endeavoring to arouse
greater and more intelligent interest
in the improvement of the public
highways.
Resolved, That this conference
appreciates and commends this i'm
portant work of the North Carolina
Road Improvement Association, and
that it asks the county commission
ers of every county, and the mayors
of the several cities and towns, the
boards of trade, the State and coun-
ty agricultural societies, and all
other industrial associations in the
State to send delegates to the annual
meeting of the association to be held
in the city of Charlotte, September
18th and 18th next.
We hope that those entrusted
with the selection of delegates, as
above authorized, will exercise their
prerogative without delay.

SAM JONES sizes up the Populists
and foreshadows the result of the
elections as follows: "The trouble
with the Peoples party is that it
can't deliver the goods. The rank
and the file of the party are clever
fellows, but the Democratic party
can run mile while they are pulling
on their boots, and they will have
the rabbit twisted out of the hole
before the Populist dog is on the
ground"

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

| Very valuable assistance was rem
dered in the last campain by the
Democratic Clubs Of North Caroline
and we are glad to see that the ex
ecutive committee of the State Asso
citation has taken steps towards the
reorganization of the old and the
institution of new clubs.
| The committee has issued a call for
a State Convention of Democratic
Clubs 80 be held in Raleigh on Thurs
day, the Goth day of September, and
Democrats all over the State should
take immediate action in forming
clubs and electing delegates.
These clubs will be helpful not only
to the State and Congressional tick
cts in combined capacity, but each
club may be made a powerful factor
in the interest of it's legislative and
county tickets, We are not only
DESTROYS of cleaning up the fusion
ranch, but we Want to see just how
decisive and overwhelming we can
make their overthrow and to this
end the best efforts of the young and
enthusiastic Democracy are invoked.
From the call for the State Con-
vention we copy as follows:
1.-The objects of this convention are
for the formal opening of the cam
paign and the giving of the keynote
for the coming fray; to foster the
organization of Democratic clubs in
every township in North Carolina;
to increase our facilities for promul-
eating Democratic principles; and to
actively aid the regular Democratic
organization:
"We also desire that the county
chairmen and township chairmen of
our party's regular organization, in
every county, lend us their aid in
making this convention one of great
demonstration.
Gentlemen of national reputation
will be invited and are expected to
lend us their presence, and Senators
Ransom and Jarvis, and our mem.
bers of Congress, and nominees for
Congress will be urged to meet with
US; from these We expect to hear the
keynote of the fray, as the campaign
will be formally opened on that day.
eve urge the Immediate re organi-
zation of all clubs now on the rolls
of the association, the formation of
new clubs in every town, village and
township in the State, and the cleo
tion of delegates to the convention
by every club. We desire that the
membership rolls of the clubs en-
brace every Democrat of their respec-
tive sectious.
"Our Constitution provides that
each club shall be entitled to ten (10)
delegates and like number of alter
mates, and one additional delegate
and one additional alternate for
every twenty-five (25) members of a
club in good standing.
The certificates of Presidents or
Sectaries of clubs will constitute the
credentials of delegates, and such
certificates should set forth the
number of members borne on the
club roster at the time of naming
delegates.
Blank forms of Constitutions for
the government of clubs and full in
structions for the organization of
clubs can be had on application to
B. G. Beckwith, Secretary, Raleigh,
N. c."

TIE MORAVIAN PICNIC
Held at Marshall Grove, Forsyth
County.

THE SENTINEL's Yadkin correspond
ent (Yendis) writes that the Moravian
picnic held at Marshall Grove, near
Slippery Hill." Forsyth county, last
Saturday, was a complete success.
The day was fair and beautiful and
something near eight hundred people
turned out to participate in the
pleasures of the occasion. The pro-
gram was an attractive one and
fraught with great variety. Taking
love feast was perhaps the most inn
pressive feature. Eight hundred cups
Of coffee and eight hundred loayes OF
bread were served to this vast assem-
blage. Bishop Rond thaler made one
of his happiest talks complimenting
the managers of the occasion and adj
monishing all present to make prepa-
ration for the great love feast above.
Several Sunday schools alternated in
singing bright musical songs inter-
spersed with fine selections by the
Bethania Orchestra.
The young people INDUCED in
various games while the old people
sat in groupes and talked about their
chickens, gardens and flowers. The
hospitality of the generous and noble
people of Forsyth county was never
more apparent than on this occasion.
