Dug His Own Grave.

The funeral of Mr.. Samuel Pullman,
whose death was mentioned in The Star,
took place from his late residence yester-
day. The grave in which Mr.. Pullmans re-
mains were inferred was dug under his
supervision about eight years ago. The
grave was dug about three feet deeper
than ordinary graves as Mr.. Pullman de-
sired that his wife should be buried in the
same grave.
AS stated. eight years ago he purchas ed
a lot in the little cemetery adjoining Shar-
on Chapel, and after the excavation had
been made according TO his directions he
walled up the grave and placed a marble
SLAB over it. only to he removed on mis-
death or that of his wife.

The Peoples Party Natiouai Platform


Following ia the Populist platform as
adogted;
honal convention, reaffirms its allegiance
to the principles declared by the founders
OF the Republic and also to the fundament-
Al principles OF just government as enunci-
ated in the platform. of the party in 1892.
We recognize that through the connivance
OF the present and preceding sdministra-
National life as predicted in our declaration
four years ago, and that prompt and patri-
otlc action is the supreme duty of the hour.
We realize that while We have political inde-
pendenee our financial and industrial indie
pendence is yet to be attained by restoring
TO our country the constitutional control
and exercise OF the functions necessary to q
peoples government, which functions have
been basely surrendered by our public ser
wants to corporate monopolies. The infiu-
ence OF European money changers has been
more potent in shaping legislation than the
voice OF the American people. Executive
power and patronage have been used to cor
rupt our legislatures to defeat the will Of
the people and plutocracy has been en-
throned upon the ruins Of Democracy, To
restore the government intended by the
fathers and for the welfare and prosperity
OF this and future generations, we demand
the establishment Of an economic and e.
nancial system which shall make us mas
ters of our own affairs, and independent OF
European control by the adoption of the

PEOPLES PARTY GEATE PLATFORM.
The Peoples Party platform of North
Carolina, in convention assembled at
Raleigh, On the 18th day of August,
1896, hereby reafiirms its unqualified al
legiance to the principles of the party,
and hereby approves the platform of
the Peoples Party adopted at its Ma
tional convention held in the city of
st. Louis, July 22nd, 1896
THE ELECTION LAW.
We hereby reaffirm our fixed de-
termination to support and maintain
free ballot and a fair count in all
elections held in North Carolina; and
the election law passed by the Cen
eral Assembly of 1895 meets our hearty
endorsement and approval; and we
hereby pledge the Peoples Party to the
policy of upholding the principle of
free and honest elections provided for
in said election law, and warn the
voters of the State against the threats
which have been made to repeal the
same.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
The act of the last General Assem-
bly, restoring to the right of local
self government by the election of
their county commissioners and just
ices of the peace by the vote of the peo-
pie in the respective counties, and the
| safeguards therein provided, meets
pledge the Peoples Party to the con-
tinued support and maintenance of
that legislation, and warn the voters
of the necessity of preventing injuri-
Ous changes in that act, and of the
danger of electing members of the
General Assembly hostile thereto.
| LEGAL TENDER MONEY.
| We favor the exercise by the State
| of North Carolina of the reserved con-
stitutional power to make all gold and
silver coins of the United States in.
cluding the trade dOllar) a legal ten.
der for the payment of debts, and that
this right be inforced by the passage
of an appropriate act by the General
Assembly.
| GOLD NoTKs AND MORTGAGES.
We believe that all money demands
should be payable In the lawful money
of the United States without preference
or discrimination, and therefore favor
the passage by the General Assembly Ot
q law to prohibit the taking or givins
OF gold notes, bonds and mortgages il
this State, and the making of all mon.
ey demands s0lvable in any kind o
lawful money of the United States.
We pledge ourselves to maintainth,
six per cent. interest law enacted by
the last General Assembly.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The action of the Peoples Part,
members of the last General Assembly
has demonstrated, beyond question
that the Peoples Party has been tru,
to it's antecedent platform declaration
in favor Of fpublic education. We de
mand still further improving an,
broadening the public school system
of the State as rapidly as proper re
gard for the interests of the tax payer
and the resources of the State viii
permit. We also favor such revision
of our present school system as ma,
increase the efficiency of our publ
schools and insure the most cOmpe
tent and effective supervision. w
think that the committee on Educa
tion Of the next General Assembl,
should invite and secure, as far q
possible, the cooperation Of the lead
ing teachers and educators Of the Stat
in framing. and perfecting the schoc
law.
j Our judiciary should be lifted abov
the plane OF partisan politics.
