THE SILVER CONVENTION.

Senator Pritchard will attend
the silver convention; Ed Cham
bers Smith says the convention
will pledge no one; no one Will
be asked to leave his party; 1t
will be simply conference of
silver men.
One of the most earnest Demo
cratic silver papers protests
against the convention and says
Democrats from the county IN
which the paper is published
will refuse to attend it or any
other which is open to others
than Democrats. A leading Re-
publican organ not only ridicules
the convention, but attacks it,
saying it attracts little or no at
tention in the Piedmont section
and it predicts that Republicans
generally will let the thing
severely alone 1t declares the
financial platform OF the last Re-
publican National convention
fills the requirements. This
paper charges the Raleigh ring
with manipulating the conven-
ton.
1t is asserted plainly that the
Populists are seeking to get a big
attendance of their people: 1t is
certain that Populists will hail
with delight any signs which IN
dictate that members of other
parties are willing to leave these
parties and get together on a
silver basis.
The Populists of Cumberland
county will send nearly 800 men
to the silver convention at
Raleigh next week. 1t is ev1,
dent that they are Systematically
organized with the purpose to
control the convention absolute

WILL WED THE DUKE.
MISSY ANDERBILT IS REALLY TO MARRY
THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.

Miss Consuela Vanderbilt,
daughter of Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt, will, before the end
of the year, become the Duchess
of Marlborough.
The engagement was quietly
announced to the families and in
innate friends of the contracting
parties and confirmed beyond
any question few days ago.
AS the engagement IS of such
recent date only few details
of the approaching marriage
have yet been arranged. The
ceremony, however, will be held
in this city within the next few
months. 1t will be performed in
accordance with the ritual of the
Protestant Episcopal church,
confirming with that of the
Church of England. Bishop
Potter will probably offlciate,
and the services, it is thought,
will be in open church.
The Duke of Marlborough has
recently cabled the news to the
members of his family and intis
mate friends in England and On
the continent. Included among
to whom the information was
conveyed was the Prince of
Wales, who is godfather to the
duke. 1t is expected that sever
al of the intimate friends of the
duke will cross the Atlantic to
be present at the wedding.
The young duke is a strong
contrast i'll appearance to the
general run of the Churchills, al
though he bears family re-
scmblance to the portraits of the
first duke, who was the greatest
general of his age. He inclines
more to the Hamiltons, his
mother having been Lady AL
berta Hamilton, daughter of the
Duke Of AberCorn. She is still
alive. Like his father, he is
somewhat below the average
size and slender, with sallow
complexion, a high forehead
aquiline nose and dark brown
hair.
His face is without a hair
with the exception of light
nustac1e, and his favorite atti>
tude in conversation is to stand
with his arms crossed on his
breast and one hand stroking his
chin. His manner is entirely
unassuming, while the acute OBJ
server may occasionally detect a
look of boredom in his eye, OF
what might be taken as a cynical
curl on his lip, but those who
know him best say that his cyni,
cis1n is only skin deep.
Miss Vanderbilt is about IS
years old. She is strikingly tall
a dark brunette, with black hal,
and eyes and very rich coloring
Her face is small, and she is de.
cidedly japonaise in type. She
is very slight, but carries hersel1
we'll and will undoubtedly be q
very handsome woman. She
has unusual sweetness and charm
of manner, and although she has
few intimates these few say that
this sweetness of manner and dis
position make her most lovable
and they are devoted to her

WHITECAPS IN TENNESSEE.
THEY ARE BURNING RESIDENCES
AND WHIPPING HELPLESS
PEOPLE.

Whitecaps in Washington and
Sullivan counties, Tennessee,
are burning residences and
whipping helpless people. One
woman was taken from her sick
bed and carried to an open field,
after which her residence was
burned to the ground.
Citizens and whitecaps are on
the eve of war. Armed men are
guarding residences and other
property Many of the citizens
lie awake all night with shot
guns in their hands Much dam
age has been done. Bloodshed
is certain.

Good Times in Store.

The tide has turned in real
good earnest, and our people
will soon leave their old task
master, hard times, behind them.
The indications all point to a
fairly good price for cotton.
Last spring not over 5 cents a
pound seemed to be staring them
in the face for this crop, but
there has been an advance of 50
per cent. over that with good
prospects for still better prices.
For the first time since the days
before the war there will be
enough meat and bread raised in
side the limits of Alabama to
feed all her people and stock and
have comfortable surplus.
There will be no more groaning
and sweating to earn money to
pay the Western corn and meat
raisers. The people of the South
are not alone in their good for
tune. Everywhere in t h e
United States factories are run
ming on full time with advancing
wages. The prices of iron and
its products have SO advanced as
to put hope and brightness
where, recently, there was only
dark despair The wheat grow
ers will find a market for their
surplus. The Government esti-
mates of the wheat harvest for
the year, issued, prove this coun-
try to be the granery OF the world
with untold wealth i'll the bins
and elevators to the credit OF
the farmers. The returns for
the United States indicate 4oo,-
OH 900 bushels of wheat in sight
Our great competitor the South
American Republic of Argentine
has but 5o,725 900, Russia is uI
to the 100000 and India
stops at 237,456,9oo, but these
figures, great as they are, do not
represent the needs Of the world
as they are only ordinary beyond
home consumption. As a Sc
quence the European centre:
must seek their supplies in thi:
country, and that means the
turning point in gold shipment:

in freight rates. 1t also seems to us
that if some of the slow going countries
OF the cast can run their railroads 10y
government ownership and with rate
of only about one-third of what the
American citizen has to pay, surely our
people with their inventive genius and
wonderful resources for great achieve
ments, in SO many ways, that put him
at the head of the progressive nations
of the world, can do something to
free our farmers from the slavery they
are being subjected to 10y railroad cor
pOrations. The amount of money our
township has paid to Jim Hill would
build quite II piece of railroad on the
prairies of this county.
Some few of our neighbors have gone
into tree culture and in many cases
with flattering results. Especially no
ticable is the fine grove on Isaac
Ullyott's home farm, and to walk
through it at midsummer puts one in
mind Of boyhood days spent amid the
