who have been working go faithfully
for the paper during the dull summer
months and we trust they will take
advantage of this the money time OF
year" among our farmers and do even
more than they have done.
The future for reform is Frightening.
All we must do is to disseminate pure
reform doctrine, and all will be well.
The people must be made read and in
form themselves. Our experiment this
summer has proven beyond question
the adaptbility of ladiesfor making the
best agents for obtaining subscribers,
and now we are making them q much
better inducement than the premium
offer, feeling sure they will appreciate
it and that it will pay US better.

AN osTLER

A. J. Joyner, of Weldon, is now in
charge of August Belmont's private
stables in New York City, at & s llary
of $40, 900, besides fees, amounting to
S., 900 or more per annum.-Ex.
We are glad of young friends
good salary, but is not something rad
ically wrong when n millionaire can
pay the heed ostler of his private sta
bles over SIS, 900 per annum, or more
than five times what the State of North
Carolina can pay either it's Governor,
it's Treasurer or it's Chief Justice. Is
not something wrong when the care of
the private horses of a millionaire Is
worth five times as much as managing
the State Treasury, or the judicial or
executive caFee~e ct nearly two millions
of people n the great State of North
Carolina. OF old, it was said of a king,
me shall take your young men and your
young maidens and make them to serve
him." And these New York million
aire kings are paying their horse ser
wants FIVE times as much as old North
Carolina can pay its highest officials.
Was it for this that our fathers died at
Stony Point, at Germantown, at Kings
Mountain, at Eutaw and at Cowpens7

NORTH CAROLINA AHEAD.

There is no doubt about it. North
Carolina is an old wooden country but
she is the best portion of the Ameri
can continent and has had mora bless
ings showered upon her this year than
anv other State. We have but little
money, we are poor, but, as a whole,
our crops are better than in any other
section of the country. Drouth, in
sects and a great many things have
cut off crops elsewhere. Our wheat
and oat crops were fairly good, the
corn crop can't be excelled, cotton is
equally as good as in any of the cotton
States, Comparatively speaking. To
bacco is better here than elsewhere.
The drouth, now prevailing over nea
" the entire country and proving SO
disastrous, has done little or no dam
age here. If prices for cotton and to.
bacco hold up we will not take in our
sign yet awhile. Let US be thankful
that we are fully as well, if not better
off than any of our more pretentious
neighbor5.

SOME SOUND MONEY MEN.

An Oklahoma bank failed last week
owing more sound money than it had
on hand by half.
Baron Won Hammerstein, a G 5rman
nobleman, sound money man, of
course, was arrested at Berlin last
week charged with forging paper to
the amount Of $50, 900.
Wallace Bros, one of the largest
firms in North Carolina, one that has
stood the storms of many years, was
caught in the wave of returning pros
perity" and failed a few days ago for
over 5000, 900 sound dollars.
Minister to Mexico Ransom passed
through Charlotte recently on his way
to Mexico. He expressed surprise that
more of his friends were not at the
station to meet him. The ex Senator
doesn't seem to realize that the people
of North Carolina think about as little
of him as they do of the memory of
Benedict Arnold.
E M. Hoffer, sound money president
of the Gettysburg, Pa, street railway
company, made an assignment last
Thursday. He owes $11O, 600.
Ross @ Van Boklen, teller of the
Merchants Loan and Trust Company,
Chicago, Ill, is missing. 1t is noticed
that about the time he left $50, 900 of
sound money left, also. He is a pref
ty fellow to talk about honest money"
Joseph 81. Wilson, teller of the Ma
tional Bank of Illinois, Chicago, and
Benjamin B. Jones, paying teller of
the same bank, were caught stealing
$12, 800 from the bank last Thursday.
They have confessed. But this thing
is going on all the time throughout the
country. Need you be surprised that
they lie about financial m~atters7

SHOE T PROGRESS.

The outlook for the shoe factory
grows more encouraging every day
and the need of such industries more
apparent. About money enough Is
now in sight to secure the splendid
factory building with grain mills n
cotton gin in connection, all located at
Cary, and the stockholders continue 70
Join the ranks. But more stock Is
needed to purchase factory machinery
and buy material. Much OF this is
already pledged, and we believe a sum
Gent amount will be forthcoming. OuV-
siders and others would put down Ine
money, but it b rs been understood an
along that only Alliancemen shoui"
hold stock, and no one is asked TO TAKE
more than one hundred dollars. luis
is necessary in order to keep any one
from buying a controlling interest IL
is hoped that every member and every
Sub Alliance in the State will take a
small share, rather than that a Re"
sbould own own it. If the shoe factory
nroves a SUCCESS, and it is almost Dound
to do that, other similar industries Will
be established, but let's push the shoe
factory to completion right now. Work,
brethren. Send in your stocks.

GETTING DOWN 70 The TRUTH

Even the commercial agencies are
getting ashamed of their yarns about
returning prosperity" when there is
no such thing and cannot be any re,
turn that will last until our financial
plans are overhauled. A recent report
from R G Dunn & Co., says:
There is no real reaction in bushes,
Gains which were recognized as tenn
Porary are vanishing, but there re-
minis a decided increase over last year
at date, although prices average 8 s
per cent, lower than a year ago, It
needs no keen observer to see that the
reaction against the rapid advance of
prices is strong. Hides were the first
to rise, but a decided break has come.
Coke was suddenly raised to 81 40. but
was recently sold at 81 10. Wheat
Jumped over 20 cents to "a but ia now
slow of sale at about IS Wool was
late IN rising, but has lost about an
eight OF a cent in average price within
the past fortnight. Iron still rises, the
miners strike having hindered shin
ments of ore, but with troops guarding
the ore, begins to move. Cotton is
strong, but has paused. The general
tendency to curtail purchases where
prices have notably advanced grows
clearer In boots and shoes. in wool and
IN some products of iron.
Consumption already hesitetos on5
railroads have not much expanded
their demand for rails. Copper is al.

ing hands, and in wooden mauufectuTe
a few works are closing for want of
orders.

THE ROAD

Chapter 427 of the public laws passed
by the last legislature, was az act to
regulate the working of the public
roads in J Jnes, Hyde, Wake, Polk and
Pamlico counties, It also applies to
Craven county outside the city of
Newberne. 1t shall be the duty of the
county commissioners of said counties
to order an election at the September
meeting (the election has been ordered)
to be held on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November of this year,
to ascertain the will of the people as to
whether they are willing to tax them
selves not more than 45 cents on the
poll and Is cents on the hundred dol
lars worth of property for the purpose
of improving the public roads of said
counties. 1t provides for the working
of county convicts and the appoint
ment of n county supervisor and one
supervisor for each township and tells
how the money may be expended.
We think the intention Of the law is
good, but the plan is open to objections
To divide up the small sum of money
this act will raise, should any county
adopt it, and divide the convict force
into small squads, will tend to defeat
the very object sought, and result in
little or no permanent good to the
roads. We are for road Improvement,
and think it should be done by taxa
ton, but the only plan to begin the
work effectu lily is to begin at the
county town and work out in every
direction as the spokes point from the
hub of q wheel This is our deliberate
opinion, after studying the road q,1es
tion for years.
Some contend that this ia unfair tc
the people living in the outer edge Of
each county. Il is, apparently, but
still 1t is the only way to make roads
In sparsely settled counties like our
State. The people in and near the
county seat, which is generally the
largest town in the county, get the
most advantage from the good roads at
first, but property being valued higher,
they pay the most tax, which, to some
extent, makes up for this. But the
county town is generally the market
town and, therefore, all get some bene
fit. If a farmer lives twenty miles
from the market to wn he gets to travel
over five miles Of good road when that
distance has been macadamized; ii he
lives ten miles out, half of his road tc
to wn is good. Patchwork will not do,
as a rule. Grading and macadamizing

A LESSON IN POLL TENEss

The Northern people, a portion of
them at least, talk and rave about the
bad treatment accorded the negroes in
the South. OF course it is ali a sickly
sentiment. The negroes get better
treatmentin the South than nine tenths
of the white people get in the North.
Recently a New York man witnessed
an incident that set his thinking works
in motion and he wrote the New York
Sun about it. This gentleman was on
a crowded street Cal. A poorly dressed
cOlOred woman carrying a baby at
tempted to get on the car, but seeing
she could get no SCAT, and with disap-
pointment plainly depicted on her face,
remarked, II guess I'll halter wait for
de next car" A well dressed gentle
man sitting inside had noted ali this,
and, rising, offered the poor colored
woman his seat. He was rewarded
by a most earnest look of thanks and
II shorely does thank you, sir" from
the colored woman The occupants of
the Car were astonished Tney were
unused to such sights, even when the
most a~ristocratic white ladies board a
car. They have to stand up, no mat
ter how many men are seated.
The writer in the Sun was 80 i'm.
pressed that he approached the gentle
man who gave up his seat, and was
more surprised than ever when he
found that he was a very prominent
Southern man and an ex slave owner.
This ought to be a lesson to many Yam
KEGS Whol-ck every element that goes
to make up the polite man where wo
man is concerned, no matter what the
color, age or character of the woman
may be.
But some Northern men are not 80
ungentlemanly as others. Not long
ago the writer saw two we'll dressed
gentlemen give up their seats to two
very old white women on a Third Ave
nue., N. Y, a They deserved all the
more credit for this because the wo-
men very plainly, even poorly
dressed.

SHOE MIN MEET.

The Boston Boot and Shoe Club gave
an outing at Beverly, Mass on Sept,
5, 1895. At the table sat more than
225, manu- acturers and many disSin-
gulshed person S of other callings. The

he said:
Il am aware that I stand in the
presence of the intelligence, the inter
prise, the courage and integrity which
has worked mighty results, not only
in Massachusetts, but in the whole
broad country"
We think We see, In the not very
distant future, the time when the gov
ernor of North Carolina can stand be
fore the State Alliance at it's annual re
union and utter the same words and
| they will be the truth, with respect to
our order and u State. He said fur,
Their:
'Iknow that, in a very recent period,
the mighty gairs in this boot and shoe
industry have been won by the cour-
age, the industry, the pluck and in
dependence of just such men that I see
before me, and men like them, and I
take a certain pleasure in thinking
that Massachusetts leads this country
in this trade of Enterprises and pro
gress, and our country leads the world,
(%applause) my friends. out of the $3.50,
OOO, 900 of product in boot, shoe and
leather manufacturers, it is delightful
to think that our own section, New
England represents three fifChs of it
and Massachusetts, in her own right,
represents one half.
While the foregoing words furnish
food for our serious and mature con
sideration he mentions another import
ant fact. ''Where money earned is
spent in the very community where it
is earned, and the man who has made
money out of boots and shoes builds
his home and spends his money right
