A suitfor $50, ,OO0 was filed today against
the Capital Traction Company by George
w. 0ffutt, a retail grocer, doing business
at 32O9 and 3211 NJ street, in Georgetown.

thereby greatly damaged his trade

system, the cars Were brought to a ctop

THE FARMER.

1t is Sad to Hear One of Them Talk
the Condition of Things.
One of Guilfords best farmers drop
ped in at this Office yesterday and as
usual fell to talking about thu ~~-~s'i
ton of things
1t is unnecessary to give names, but
this gentleman in question has been a
Republican since the war. For some
years he has been dissatisfied, this dis
satisfaction finally growing into alarm.
In substance this is what he said:
II have about as good, if not better,
farm than most men in this part of
the country, but TO save my life can't
make expenses, for while / have raised
good crops with surplus to dispose
of, l can't do a thing. Every man of
sense knows you can't sell a thing for
less than cost of production and long
survive.
Il have tried and tried-hoped and
Notwithstanding the next year would
bring better price, but instead things
are growing worse and / have cOnclud-
ed that it is no use to try to do any
thing more than raise enough to do
me, keep my stock, &c, but the trouble
is | don't see how I'm to clothe my
family and myself. 1t takes at least
five days labor now to buy, with farm
products, what could formerly be
bought with one or two at the outside.
This talk of other things being also
cheap is partly true, but the proper
ton is not the same.
Things the farmer has to buy are
from 10 to 25 per cent. lower, while
what he has to sell is about so per
cent. This difference is what is play
ing smash with us.
This year I'm going to vote for free
silver wherever / can find it. I've tried
to get around it, but can't do it and in
justice to my family, myself and my
neighbors / must make departure"

PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TION.

Whereas, the Democratic party had its
birth in Mr.Jefferson's great contest a
gainst the Capitalization of the powers
of the Federal government, and in be-
half of the strict construction of the
Federal Constitution embodied in the
tenth amendment thereto, in which all
powers not delegated to it were ex-
pressly reserved to the States, respect
lively, or to the people; and whereas.
the Republican party has ever been the
party of Capitalization, resolved
/. That we appeal to the people to
observe this fundamental difference
between the Democratic party and its
traditional enemy in respect to the
powers OF the central government.
2. That the Constitution of the Uni
ted States recognizes both gold and sill

ey of these States, and and that, in
the words of the National Democratic
platform of 1884, eve believe in honest
money, the gold and silver coinage of
the Constitution, and a circulating
medium convertible into such money
without loss"
3. We favor, independently of other
nations, the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold, without discrimina-
tion against either, at the present legal
ratio of 16 to /, and we condemn the
system which in a time of peace, with
millions of silver bullion lying idle in

years, to issue $685., 100000 of bonds,
entailing this enormous debt upon the

4. We condemn the action of the
Secretary of the Treasury in follow

payable in coin.

pies herein enunciated by us.
6. We warn the people against the
threatened combined evils of the gold
standard and the Mckinley Tariff.
These twin monsters go hand in hand
in their mission of destruction, draw
ing the very sustenance from the body

wealth and power in the hands of a
few.

nothing for judicial construction.

GOV. ALTGELD IN A NEW LIGHT
His Career and Characteristic Present
Hard Fight for Silver.

To the Editor: John Z. Altgeld, Gov
ernor of Illinois, was born in Germany
in December, 1847 When he was
three months old his parents settled
near Mansfield, Ohio, where he was
reared upon farm. lie was early
trained to hard work and attended the
public schools at intervals during the
winter. While yet child he displayed
a studious disposition and at odd mo
ments succeeded in familidrizihg him
self with the history of the ancients
and with theology, and read works on
almost every branch of knowledge,
borrowing ali the books the neighbor-
hood affarded. When sixteen years of
age he entered the Union army and
carried a musket in the James river
campaign, and at ninteen began to
teach school. At twenty-one he went
further west. So far all of his earnings
had been devoted to assist paying for
his fathers farm.
The spring of 1869 found him work
ing in st. Louis and studying law at
night. After spending a few months
there he went into southern Kansas.
There he was taken sick and reduced to
such straits that on recovery he was
compelled to work his way for nearly
one hundred miles across the country
in his bare feet. In the fall of 1869 he
settled at Savannah, in northwestern
Missouri, and began reading law with
Judge William Heron and the Hon
David Ray, teaching school in the win
ter He was admitted to the bar there
and served as city attorney. He drafted
a new code of ordinance for the city,
but, before the expiration of two
years, resigned the office to attend to
private practice. In 1874 he was elected
States Attorney for Andrew county,
Missouri. Having served about one
year he resigned and moved to Chicago.
Being an entire stranger there ii
was several years before he did much
business. After having gained start,
however, business came very rapidly
and he was soon employed in some of
most difficult cases.
In the fall of 1877 he was married to
Miss Emma Ford, a woman of beauty,
culture and refinement. She was the
daughter of John III. Ford, a prosper
Gus farmer living near Mansfield, Ohio.
For some years he eschewed politics,
but in 1884 he ran for Congress in
Chicago. Although he was defeated
he made so vigorous and thorough a
campaign that it attracted the atten-
ton of the politicians throughout the
State. He was elected judge of the
Superior court of Chicago in 1886, and
was for a time Chief Justice of that
court After serving on the bench
about five years, he resigned to devote
himself to private interests. Mean
while, he had become interested IN
Chicago real estate and built six of the
finest business blocks in Chicago, one
of them a sixteen story, fire proof
structure, called the Unity, which is
regarded as one of the finest office
buildings in the world. He personally
looked after every detail in the con-
struction, and the building is his only
achievement of which he has ever been
known to boast.
While thus busily engaged, his UNI
firing energy led him to devote much
attention to literature. In 1884 he

for free silver, for low taxes, for higher
prices for agricultural products,
Tor the economical administra-
ton of government, and for the
freedom and individual sovereignty Of
the American citizen.
We declare our belief that the peace
prosperity and happiness of the people
OF North Carolina depend ON the
feat of the Republican State ticket in
the coming election.

THE SAD STORY
OF How the Little Six Year Old Otto
Olson Died on the Prairie.

Deputy Coroner Wyatt returned to-
day from Numeda1 township where he
went yesterday morning toinvestigate
the circumstances surrounding the
death of Otto Olson, the six year old
boy who was found dead on the prai-
rie some days ago. The story as told
by Mr.. Wyatt is most pathetic one.
1t appears that the child's father is a
widower named Olson who resides in
Numedal township with married
daughter who is the Oldest of his three
children, Otto being the youngest.
John, aged fourteen, is the second.
Mr.. Olson was working at Warren for
some days prior to the fatality and
had not yet returned home. On Fri
day his daughter with her husband
drove to Thief River Falls, leaving
John and Otto at home alone. Some
time during the day the two boys
started out and walked a couple of
miles to visit with some neighboring
children, whose parents had also gone
to Thief River Falls, John taking a
shot gun along in case he should hap
pen to see any game.
They remained at the neighbors
until about five o'clock p. M, and
then began the homeward journey.
Soon after they had started the snow
storm came on and darkness with it,
shutting off the children from their
home. They trudged bravely on and
on until little Otto began to cry with
cold and fatigue. John then picked
his little brother up in his arms and
carried him. Otto still complained
of being cold and John stopped and
took off his coat and woolen shirt, and
wrapping them closely about the little
one, placed him on his shoulder
again, and picking up his gun, again
commenced the weary search for shell
ter. The hours dragged slowly by
and John dared not pause to rest. The
little one had fallen asleep on his
shoulder, and the hope, which had
almost deserted the older boy, was re-
kindled by seeing light glimmer in
in the distance. He fastened forward
towards the light, but after little the
spark died out, leaving the children
once more alone on the bleak prairie.
At last daylight broke and John then
discovered the appalling fact that his
little brother had quietly died while
he was trying to carry him to place
