drove up to drug store for x lass of

Party.
Durham Cor. News & Observer.
Maj. w. A. Guthrie reached home
yesterday at noon. He was highly
elated over the prospects of Popu-
lism and free silver as indicated by
the Memphis convention. He says
that the Populists had a majority of
the committee on resolutions and
could have run the convention had
they been so inclined. From what he
saw and heard he was. convinced. that
the "silver men of the whole cOun-
try are going to get together" He
was very much taken with Senator
Tillman and enjoyed his abuse of
Cleveland whom the violent South
Carolina boss declared a creator trai-
tor than Benedict Arnold. He did
did not understand why none of the
delegates from Raleigh we've not
present, and says that Mr.. Keith, OF
Wilmington, who was made vice
president, was the only North Caro-
lima Democrat present. he says that
there is not "goldbug" in the whole
Populist party. He says that Mr.
Turpie's speech was SO badly deliver
ed that he only heard small par
of it. Tillman declared that hi!
party in South Carolina had beer
ready to bolt the Democratic party
for two years. The Major is in higt
feather but would not make any
prophesies as to the future, as he de
clared there was no telling wha
will happen.

CONGRESSMAN SKINNER

Expresses his Views in Warrington on the
Political situation--Populists Gaining
Democrats Cannot Win.
Washington POST.
IA good many people have not
stopped to consider that the Demo-
cratic system of two-thirds rule will
put an effeetual cheek on the nomi-
nation of free silver candidate by
that party" remarked Hon. Harry
Skinner, one of the newly elected
Popuist members Of Congress to
reporter at the Metropolitan. Mr..
Skinner is talented young lawyer
and used to be Democrat. He says
he is one yet, of the old-fashioned
Jeffersonian sort, and that he hasn't
deserted the party, but vice versa.
GAS two-thirds majority for free
silver" he continued, "can never
be obtained in the Democratic con-
vention, 1t is idle to expect the De-
mocracy to adopt a free coinage plank
or nominate free coinage man. 1t
simply can't be done under the two
thirds rule, and that rule is too VEN
cradle to be abandoned. The Demo
Gratis, therefore, and the Republicans
will not declare for the white metal
and so the friends of silver will
have no recourse but to become
Populists, and they will do so by the
thousand.
"And as far as the future course
of the Populist party of North Caro-
lima is concerned, no man can speak
with authority. We mean to stand
by those who favor more liberal finan-
cial policy than we now have-in fact
we demand a thorough reorganiza-
ton of our entire monetary system.
This might bring about entirely new
political alignments within the

License Taxes on Ptanos And Sewing Ma
In response to an inquiry made by
State Treasurer Worth, Attorney
General Osborne has written the
following opinion on license tax on
sewing machines, pianos, organs &C !:
June 24th, 1895.
Hon. w. II. WORTH, State Treas,
Raleigh, n. c.
DEAR SIR The law concerning
license for the sale Of sewing machines
is entirely different from that concern
ing the sale of pianos and organs.
Section No. "a requires a license for
each kind of sewing machine sold.
There is no such provision in section
No. % concerning the sale of pianos
and organs. Only one license, the tax
for which is $3.50 is required and that
authorizes the sale of every kind of
piano and organ by the person or
company obtaining it from you. After
a license has been issued to any person
or company to sell pianos or organs,
the person or company to whom the
license has been issued ought to be pro-
tected by as many certificates from you
as may be necessary.
Yours respectfully,
+. |. OSBORNE,
Attorney General.

the government take the roads, he
says, 1T would have to buy both termi-

the party in power would have these
Immense corporations to use in politi-
cal campaigns.
People who are clamoring for the
Government to take the roads do not
realize that the Government cannot do
IL without first paying off the first
mortgage to British and other foreign
bond-holders."
Zen. Hampton ia great South
Carolina Democrat. What he saws
In connection with the railroad mat
ter printed elsewhere in this paper
means much. The time has been
when the United States owned the
tra mortgaqe bonds on these Pacific
roads. Now the british and other
foreign bond holders" own the first
mortgage bonds. How is this?
What does it mean!
Is this whole country, railroads
and all, going into the possession of
foreigners? Citizens, maybe you
think these are matters with which
you have no concern. Now, Just
read the article on the first page con-

Death OF Mr.. X. y. Pullen.

Mr.. II. S. Pullen, the most public
spirited citizen and the greatest
philanthropist who ever lived in
Raleigh, died in this city on Sunday,
June 23rd. He was seventy three
years old. He was a man who did
good for goods sake. He was never
Ostentatious. The only condition he
imposed with many important do
nations was that no publicity should
be given the matter. But MANY of
his public gifts could not be kept
secret. He gave to Raleigh a beau
tiful Park of sixty acres which Park
bears his name. That splendid edu-
cational institution the College of
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts
stands on a site of sixty acres of
yaluab' la I'd given by him. The
equally important female education
al institution-the Normal and In
dustrial School at GreensbOro-is
indebted to him for nearly half the
land which it owns. The most per-
feet sidewalks and the prettiest
streets in Raleigh are those which
were laid off and constructed by this
citizen. Thousands of the hand
soonest shade trees which adorn the
city were planted under his direction
and at his expense. He recently
erected the most superb business
block in the city. He was interest
ed in every movement and enterprise
looking to the city's material advance
ment. He let it be understood that
he was ready to take i've thousand
dollars of stock in every cotton fac
tory which might need that subscrip
ton, if erected in Raleigh. His
name was never seen on subscrip-
ton list, but no fund of worthy
character was ever overlooked by
him. He was the prime mover and
the largest contributor in the cree.

WHAT THEY ARE.

A gentleman of q methodical habit,
who had adopted the practice Of re-
tanning q copy Of every prescription
issued by the family physician, be-
came interested as the time went on,
to note that the same ingredients
were pretty certain to be prescribed
at some point Of the treatment Of
every case. For . poor appetite, or
a sore throat, for restlessness which
disturbed the baby's sleep, and for
troubles which beset the aged grand
parents, the favorite remedy was
always turning up, although slightly
often in conjunction with others.
His family physician had ever been
q successful practitioner: and when
another was consulted, care had al
ways been taken to obtain the SER
vices of some one eminent for skill
and reputation. Still the frequent
recurrence of the favorite formula
was . marked circumstance. One
day our friend happened to observe
that the formula Of . certain adver-
tised remedy was identical with the
latest prescription he had received
from bis own physician, and in some
surprise 6he stated the case to him.
The family doctor, after listening to
what he had to say, replied: 1.-The
case is about this way: Whenever
there Is . disturbance of the functions

Jones, who is a physician with a
lucrative practice; Mrs. Sol. WE'LL,
who is president of the Ladies Be-
nevolent Society-an association that
has done more tor suffering humanity
in this city than all other charities
combined; and Mrs. Robinson, the
wife of Judge Robinson. All of
these are patrons aud enthusiastic
friends of the school.
For this, some hair Drained idiots
have exhibited the rare intelligence
to conclude that with these ladies on
the board, obstruction of the school
was inevitable.

the dismay and modification of GER
tain ring managers.
The action of the county board of

was surprise to every one. Mr.. G.
B. Aycock and ex.Judge Allen ap-
peared before the board, and each
made "whoop-'em up" speech in ia
vor of their pet, thus hoping to save
him (for future use). The argu-
ments in his favor were upon a lofty
plane and from patriotic considera-
tons ONLY. He, Monroe, was the
stalwart defender of the weak, and
as their representative was entitled
to the credit of defeating Grants
school bill to change the board,
and his defeat for reappointment
would be considered an endorsement
of Grants bill which they, as q Dem
ocratic board, could not afford to do.
One even ventured the opinion that
his failure would be very pleasing
to Grant-or words to that effect.
After depositing their weighty
chunks of wisdom for information
!, and guidance they retired, and the
board proceeded to elect to fill all
vacancies; when 10 and behold! the
salt of the graded school board-the
great expounder against woman suf.
frage-the champion leading ths
host against Grants bill got on,
whole vote out of five from this Dem
ocratic body, and that one 'pented o.
it when too late.
Only one Interpretation can b.
