A y ew Theory.

The Planters Monthly prints the
following interesting story in regard
to the Lantana. Believe it who can:
"A great outcry is being made by
some OF the sub-deputy Foresters of
India against this useful and beauti-
full pfant-the greatest curse, they
say, ever imported into India, worse
than the thistle or rabbits of Aus
tralia! And they repeat the old
yarn about the first plant being
brought out in fower-pot thirty
years ago. 1t would be difficult for
even a forester's assistant to write
greater nonsense than the above.
| have known the lantana in this
garden or India for we'll nigh forty
years, and then it was fully as
luxuriant on the hills around Handy
as it is now. Moreover, very close
observation leads me to the conclu-
sion that it has done more to reno
vate the Kandyan hills than all the
imported or municipal manures.
My only regret is to see it dying out
in the unequal struggle with that
more doubtful and less beautiful
interloper, the sunfower. The
Grevillea is another plant which is
doing splendid work in renovating
our hill-sides."

On August 18th the POpulist cOnven-

trict met in Clinton. Every county
was represented. Many delegates were
present at an early hour and the dele
cations from Sampson and other cOun-
ties also went separately into secret
caucus to decide upon candidates.
ALI delegates then met in secret
caucus, and it was ascertained that
there were several candidates for the
honor in the field. This would not
have been but for the fact that DR.. Cy
Thompson had just been placed on the
State ticket, otherwise he would have
been nominated by reclamation no
doubt. At o'clock Mr.. II. E. King,
of OnslOw, chairman of Congressional
Executive Committee called the con-
vention to order and introduced Rev.
A. B. Crumpler who offered prayer.
Chairman King then made a short
speech and called John D. McDuffie
of Cumberland, to act as temporary
chairman, and James o. Matthews, OF
Sampson, to act as temporary secre-
tary. The vari0us committees were
then chosen and pending their reports
Mr.. Ed. KoOnce, of Onslow, enter.
tanned the convention in q very happy
and entertaining speech, after which
committee reports came in.

DEATH OF EDITOR goshen.
Killed by q Fall From . street Garlic
Never ksgniped Conseiou sness and Died
Two Hours After the Accident.

WINSTON, y. c., Aug. 1.-THE
citizens OF Winston Salem were
shocked yesterday afternoon over
the sad and fatal accident which be-
fell Capt. Junius W. Goslen, editor
and manager of the Union Republi-
can, opposite his residence, on
Main street, Salem. about 3:lJ yes
terday afternoon. He died about
$50 p. m.
Capt. Goshen was returning from
the Winston postoiiice, on the sum
mer car, with his mail, which he
carried under his left arm. In his
attempt to get off, lust IS the car
was coming TO a stop, be caught
hold Of the car with his right hand
and, by mistake. stepped off back
wards. He was thrown violently TO
the ground, his head striking the
rocks with considerable force.
| Drs. Slewers and Summers we're
summoned at once. They arrived Ia
a few minutes and "A thorough ex-
animation failed TO reveal single
scar or bruise about the head. Only
one scar could be found. and that
was very small one on the elbow
The physicians did not believe at
first that the accident was serious.
They are confident now, however,
that the fall produced conclusion OF
the brain.
Capt. Goshen was So years old on
the 18th day of July, 1896. He was
gallant soldier during the war,
and before it closed, was prom Oted
to Captain of Company X, 52nd
Regiment, MacRae's Brigade. He
was in command OF his company
when the surrender came.
After the war Capt. Goshen taught
school. Later he was in the reve-
nue. service, holding a position unde,
DR.. Wheeler, who was collector OF
this district.
In 1872 he took charge of the

as the organ OF the Republican party

Yours truly,
THE FIFTH DISTRICT AWAKE.

The nominations and policy of the
late Peoples Party convention at Raj
eigh has not only walked up, but great
ly encouraged and strengthened the
POpulists of this district. The fact
that Maj. Guthrie, the Peoples Party
nominee for Governor, lives in the
FIFTH, is source af great strength to
the party; and the name of Oliver H.
DOckery on the State ticket inspires
confidence among silver Republicans
and nerves them to the effort they
never thought of before.
Confidence in the election of the PeO-
pies Party nominee is daily increasing.
1t is becoming the settled opinion that
a vigorous fight will now win. We
want fair and equal show before the
people.
The silver Republicans and the
true silver Democrats are ready and
anxious to support candidate of the
people and for the people. They are
tired of machine candidates and will
gladly and cheerfully unite to elect a
true silver candidate. The silver Re-
publicans will vote for such a candi-
date because there is now none in the
field for them to vote for. The patriO-
tic and true free silver Democrats will
also vote for such q candidate because
they believe the wrong must give way
to the right. The talk of the machine
Democrats that the POpulists must
come to them because they "claim" to
be the majority party is an Out-of-date
proposition. The Peoples Party first
promulgated the gospel of financial
reform, and forced the issue of free
silver to the frount, and it would be
as absurd for them to 90 to the Demo
Gratis as it would be for Christians tt
abandon the Gospel church and e
over to the forces Of the devil because
he is supposed to be in the majority.
The opportunity has come for TIT
POpulists of the Fifth district to viii
if they will rally at once under thei
own chosen banner, the only STANDARD
of true financial reform.
There is a tide in the affairs of mel
which, taken at the flood leads on to fol
tune
"Omitted, then all LIES voyage is boun
in shadows and m iseries."
Are we ready to seize this gOl
den opportunity for success? Will
we act promptly? The people wan

And right the day shall win;

EXPRESS HAULING ON SUNDAY.
Suit Against Southern Railway to Test Its
Legality.

RALEIGH, n. G. Aug. Civ. ii.
Deaver, of Ashville, brings suit
against the Southern railway to test
the legality of hauling express on Sun
days in North Carolina. The suit is
based upon a section of the Code,
which provides that no railway COM
pany shall permit any cars to be run
on Sundays, save such as are to trans
port United States mails, either with
or without passengers, such as are ex-
clusively for passengers, and those ex-
clusively for live stock, fruits, vegeta
bles, and perishable freights. Sunday
is construed to be between sunrise and
sunset.
The Southern railway will handle no
express, save perisilabie articles, on
Sundays, until this question is settled.
| The penalty is $500 for each train in
each county through which the rail-
way runs.
1t is said that under literal con-
structiOn of the act dead bodies can
not be shipped that day.
