Saturday night Secretary Gillespie
roughly made the following computation
OF membership: Counting seniors and
Juniors the same, as Calumet does in n

has 00S members. This is arrived at in
this way: The membership Mt the co H.

two juniors counted fnr one in making
up the 5O1, this would add nine more 20

the total is $50 old seniors, 492 new ST n.

SLIGHTLY MIXED.

The Lenoir Topic of the 29sh ult.
says:
I'VE are sorry 20 see that the Char
Iotte Observer On TIE hand and
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER On the other
have arrayed themselves against the
action of the two State committees who
last week made the only practical ar
rapgement by which the electoral vote
of this State would be assuredly cast
for VIM. J. Bryan. Both Of the above
papers, while neither of them are in
entire harmony with their respective
parties, have been active advocates of
the election Of Mr.. Bryan, and we can
not, for the life of us, see that there is
good common sense in the course they
are pursuing. While we recognize
that each of these papers have great
influence with their readers, we trust
in this instance they will fail to lead
IF many into the crooked path they
point out. Democrats and Populists
should vote the straight ticket as ar
ranged by the State committees, and
thus let every voter who wishes to elect
Mr.. Bryan President send up to the
electoral college his 'ull strength.
There is danger in any other course"
The Topic has gotten things mixed
up. AS we understand it, the Char
lotte Observer advises Democrats to
scratch the Populist electors on the
combination ticket. The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER has not advised the Populists
to scratch the Democratic electors. On
the other hand we said: I'VE care
nothing about the electors. The nomi
nees to be voted for are everything"
We r willing to any arrangement
that will elect Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Wat
son, the only silver ticket that can be
made up out Of the material on hand.
unless they are taken down and other
good men substituted. We will not
waste time and ink on any scheme to
elect Bryan and Sewall. Sewall is a
warty ex~cressence on the body polite.
He is a dangerous Maine ~plutocrat. He
must be downed or this fight will not
result in a victory.

THE CHICAGO

The Chicago Dispatch has announced
itself for Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. In making this announcement
the Dispatch says:
The battle now waging for the cleo
ton OF Bryan is a contest of the weak
against the strong, of the poor against
the rich, of right against wrong, of
manhood against slavery. In this fight
the Dispatch enlists on the side of the

EDUCATION OF FARMERS Chill,
DREN.

September brings the opening of the
public schools, and with it, in many
farmers families, the q~Iestion whether
the older boys and girls can or cannot
be spared from the work of farm
and house to attend the opening
sessions. Circumstances alter cases,
but as a rule the farmer, no matter
now pressed with work, cannot afford
to curtail the education Of his children.
We have great faith in the little red
school house." says the Farm News.
1t is to that characteristic institu-
ton that America owes much of her
greatness, and until the youth has
completed it's course, ever days at
tendance denied him detracts last SO
much from his future capital. Parents
owe it to their children that they be
denied no opportunity of securing that
fundamental education upon which
must be builded their future prosperity
and usefulness.
The question of the introduction of
the study of agricultural science in
the district school is undergoing an
interesting discussion III several States,
and while the plan has many things to
recommend it, the truth is, under our
present system, the district school has
now more work than he can do we'll.
It is we'll to remember that one thing
we'll taught is better than a dozen half
taught and not learned. Some time in

A CORRECTION.

Editorial reference was made last
week to a table showing the status Of
all the banks in the State, published
the week previous. 1t was stated in
the editorial that the gold coin in the
banks amounted to 5000. This was
an error, caused by the figures in the
table becoming disarranged after the
proof was read. One line of figures
dropped down. The 5000" was gold
treasury notes" while gold coin should
have been $500, $780, quite a differ
eDca.
However, in the editorial reference
we pointed out the absurdity of doing
the business on such an amount Of gold
only a small fraction of a cent per
capita. But as the correct figures ap
pear, it would only amount to a little
over thirty cents per capita in gold,
while political economists and states
men agree that a country like this
needs at least $40 or $50 per capita.

HELP START The SHOE FAC.
TORY.

We learn that the bretheren are full
ly alive on the shoe factory question
and powerful efforts are being made to
swell the fund necessary to start the
machinery at work, everything else
being in readiness. Many are respond,
irg to the 81 plan inaugurated by Bust
ness Agent Ivey. The Importance Of
this enterprise has been told in these
columns so often that we think it use
less to say more on that line now.
Money is what is needed just now, and
the advantages can then be shown to
every one interested. No doubt the
county Alliances will take such action
as will result in a long, steady pull to
swell the working fund at once If all
will do what they a there will be no
further trouble. Certainly every county
in the State can raise in the aggregate
81 90 or more additional cash stock and
let the factory begin.
