EDITORIAL NOTES.

Few of the banks that fail pay the
depositors even so cent dollars.
The most important question to come
before the various county Alliances
this week is the starting of the shoe
factory.
We trust that the various county
Alliances will grange to raise enough
funds to start the shoe factory in full
blast at their meetings this week.
John R. Gentry paced a mile in two
minutes and a half second the oUher
day at Portland Maine, beating his
own and the worlds record. This is
going at the pace that kills.
Bryan and Tom Watson are arraying
the masses against the classes and Nc
Kinley, Hanna, Hobart, Cleveland,
Seawell, Palmer and Buckner, are try
ing to array the asses against the
masses.
Arthur Sewall has written to Chair
man Manly endorsing the electoral
fusion business in this State. Of course
he does. He don't mind swapping five
dollar bills and getting silver dollar
Keith to boot.
Our distinguished fellow citizen,
Senator Sherman, has been trying to
explain the crime of 1873 in a recent
letter. II Sherman's memory is little
shaky on the '73 business, he may let
that pass and explain his connection
with his more recent crimes.
A judge who will sentence a negro
to three or four years in the peniten
tiary for stealing a chicken and give q
banker one year for stealing 800, OOO,
will hardly invade your henroost, but
if you have 500, 900 anywhere around,
you will do we'll to watch the judge.
A citizen living in the Western part
Of the State, who parts his name in
the middle by writing it out in full,
lost his barn by an i~ncendiary fire the
other day. We have no patience with
that class of citizens who sign their
names like this: 81. Hollingsworth
Smith" or "B. Prempert JONES'" and
will not shed any tears when their
buildings are burned down.
The Cotton Plant speaks truthfully
when it says: The Alliance is more
important, the work it can accomplish
will be greater, if properly done, than
any political party ever created. 1t
has, or should have, no political pa,
tronage to divert it from it's purposes.
but should be and is founded in the
honest patriotism of a loyal people,
seeking justice, and nothing else.
Mr.. G. B. Afford, of Wake county,
the famous champion of goldbuggery
or international bi-metallism, the same
thing, uses this expression in his
speeches. "Bless God, where is the
Democratic party gone" Gone to try
and rescue itself, Mr.. Afford. It ia the
only party in the world that has ever
gotten lost and started out to find it
self. 1t reminds US of an old gentle
man in Iredell county who walked al
over his farm hunting for a hand rake
and was carrying the rake on his shout
der during the entire search.

guished and the rule of property so
strongly intrenched as to be safe from
future attack.
Coercion is the ready weapon of the
money power and the great cities of
the nation the chosen field of opera
ton. The workingmen, the small mer-
chant and the salary dependent are
the designated victims. Toe wholesale
establishment has set it's machinery in
motion to squeeze the helpless mer-
chant, and he is forced to e immedi
ate relief from sudden bankruptcy
only in the ghost of the Republican
candidate for President.

1 SUPPORT WATSON, BECAUSE
Sewall does not represent the platform
on which he stands. Unheard of and
unheralded, picked up by chance and
accident in the apathy and haste that
marked the closing hours Of the Chi,
cago convention, he is out Of touch
with his platform on almost as many
points as he touches it. By the record
he is at variance with his platform Sc
a national banker. He is on record in
opposition to it's tariff views. He was
advocating a gold standard Democrat
for Governor three months ACC and
this is to the credit of his Judgment if
not OF his consistency. He is in CD,
position to his platform in the bounties
which come to him from his ships. I
believe that his very party is ind fer
ent to him, and I am sure that BRYAN,
his commander in chief, has written
his explicit condemnation in the pub
lie statement that a candidate ought to
stand above suspicion on every plank
of the platform which supports him

stitution.

CHEEK.

The New Era is a weekly paper pub
Iished at Wilmington, N. Q Its editor,
Mr.. B. f. Keith, is Chairman OF the
! State Committee of the "Silver party
an alleged political organization, said
to consist of three members IN d
| State. Mr.. Keith is the ''Silver party
elector," of which you may have heard
something, and is pledged to vote
for Bryan and SeawelI. Another mem
Der of the trio is q Democratic candi-
! date for the legislature in his county,
while the third is supporting Bryan
and Sewall, and is high private.
But what we started out to say is
that the New Era Of September 3Oth
refers to something it has heretofore
printed il its columns, which, 1t says
''shows up the dangerous and disgust
ing policy of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
a retro3ressive organ that is sailing
under the flag of progressive Popu-
ism" It then goes on to say that it
thought The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
stood quite alone in its disgusting"
policy, but finds that the Southern
nEercury is going along the same route,
and copies a long editorial from the
Silver Knight, of Washington, which,
like the New Era, is simply a Demo-
cratic annex with no higher motives
than the single issue of free coinage.
Now we want to do a little plain
talking for the benefit of the New Era
and the public. We fud the following
on the first page of that great exponent
Of reform: Vol. NO. 90" On the
first page of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
we fad the following: Vol. 11.-No.
"a" On the first page of the Southern
Mercury we find: Vol. XV.-No.
80"
From the above we learn that the
New Era is exactly % weeks old and
smart ''accordin'." The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is ten years and thirty-four
weeks of age, ind doesn't know any
thing, while the Southern Mercury at
the ripe cid age Of fourteen years and
thirty nine weeks knows still less.
These two papers, which have blazad
the way through the dense mass Of the
money power and monopoly, supported
by the great thrOng of men who
wear party collars, having emerged On
high ground and made another stand
for battle, all full Of scars and weather
beaten, are told by this infant can
paign button peddler, the New Era,
that they are advocating "a dangerous
and disgusting policy" Yes, dan.
gerous end disgusting to the money
power, which the % weeks old New
Era pretends to be fighting, and really
the infant may believe hat it is doing
some execution.
But, if the infant were we'll posted it
would know that every reform paper
in America, great and small, old and
young, is standing right by the South
ern Mercury and THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, advocating the same dan
gerous and disgusting policy" aud
nine tenths of the real reform voters
are doing the same, as the infant will
learn before it is half as old as it thinks
it is wise.
The Southern Mercury and THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER are right where
they have Away s Identifying to point
out the snares and pitfalls Of the money
power.

the future, when we have learned that
the real object of education is the de-
velopment of the mind and not the i'm
parting of knowledge, we will be in a
position to introduce agricultural
science into the common school system,
but it will be a study Of life and growth,
that will lead the boys and girls to open
their eyes to the wonders of nature
about them, in every bush and every
blade OF grass, and not a study Of books
nor of rules for farming

THE SEPTEMBER HURRICANE

The storm which came from the West
Indies, striking the Florida coast at
Key West and passing through that
State, Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, District Of Colum-
bia, Maryland, PennsyIvaniaan and Michi-
gan, last week, was the most destruc
tive one on record so far as the loss of
property is concerned, though the Ii SIS
of life is not so great as recorded in
S ptember, 1898.
Key West, Florida, was the first
town in its path. The town was en-
tirely destroyed and twenty-five .peo
pie killed. The total killed in Florida
will foot up 100, or nor Eleven were
killed at Savannah, Ga, and a million
dollars worth of property destroyed
At Brunswick, Co., lives were lost and
much damage done. South Carolina
suffered greatly. At Durham, N. O.,
and Louisburg, much damage was
done, but, so far as known, only one
life was lost in this State that of Mrs.
Price, near Raleigh, killed by a tree
blown down uUon her house. But the
damage IN this State to buildings and
cotton fields cannot be estimated.
Richmond, Va, suffered greatly, several
church steeples being blown down and
other buildings damaged. Several lives
were lost at Staunton, Va. At Alex
andria, Va, five persons we're killed,
Mrs. Louisa Holt, of Alamance county,
this State, being n Of the number.
Washington, D. O., was almost devas,
tated, but no lives were lost, though
torn to pieces and many shade trees
uprooted. Several fine buildings were
wrecked and many unroofed. Balti
more suffered severe damages. Penn
sylvania suffered greatly in property
damage. The storm spent it's force in
Michigan, but much damage was done
in the Southern portion Of the State be
fore the wind subsidized. The wires are
down everywhere in the track of the
storm and particulars are hard to get,
Cotton was blown out of the open
bolls and it has been suggested that it
will pay to gather up the cotton on the
ground at once rather than risk picking
over the fields before rain comes, as
the cotton on the ground is not much
damaged so far. Rain accompanied
the wind, but little fell after the worst
of the storm passed over.

The Charlotte Observer insists that
Bryan is a big, broad man." but it
doesn't endorse his platform. If we
are not mistaken, the o oserver fully
endorsed the platform of 1892, also
the candidate-Grover Cleveland-but
said Cleveland would do without any
platform. The Observer is consistent,
TO say the least. It will stand by the
party" as long as it dominates big"
men.

BRYAN ACCEPTS.

Nj. William J. Bryan has written

letter is entirely satisfactory, so far .
we can judge. 1t was received too la'
for this issue, but will be published j
our next.

letter recently written by Hon. John

lished in the Atlanta Constitution. The
letter in full appeared in last issue,
but it is too good to lose sight of and
we reproduce extracts in bold type.
Hand this paper to your Democratic
neighbor, and, if he is a reasonable
man, he will join you in helping to
elect Watson as we'll as Bryan.

A Big Timber Deal.

}. c. Carpenter, of Clifton Forge,
Va, and associates have organized a
company TO operate coal and lumber
in West Virginia. The company
will be known as the Beatty Lumber
Company, and will have paid up
capital of s25O,OOO. The company
has purchased 900 acres of land
in West Virginia, located near the
celebrated Loup creek coal fields.
In addition TO this purchase, it has
leased also the timber right OF 80, e
600 acres of adjoining land, making
in all 81, 900 acres in one body. The
tract is rich in white pine and oak
of excellent quality. A saw mill
plant is now in operation, with an
annual capacity Of 100000 feet.
The company will, in connection
with this plant, erect a stave mill,
with a capacity Of 10000, 900 slaves
per annum. To Obviate the diff
culties at present existing Of ship
ping lumber, the company will
build a narrOw-gauge railroad
which will intersect the Chesapeake
