her sensitive expression. The question
OF the moment with him was how he
pest could help he-. He held out his
left hand, and waited for her to speak.
HIS look was uttcrance enough; but
she would not meet his ewes. She
swerved slightly away from him, avoid
his touch, and, as he called her by name
in the tone that he used for no name
but hers, she uttered just two words:
"Oh, don't!" There was no mistakinr

Then it came to her distinctly what
1t was that he meant, and why he
looked at her in that strange manner
Alas! what could it matter now? "My

and ran past him, and shut herself into
her room.
Darcie stood awhile stone-still where
She had left him; then he dragged him
self to his own room and sat upon the
side of his bed, trying to realize this
impossible thing. Yes, she had doubted
him. and had taken that way to satisfy
herself. What she thought of him, now
that she had read the letter, was a small
thing compared with the loss he had
suffered in losing his image of her. He
grew very cold, sitting there alone in

A GOOD IDEA.

The prizes offered by the North Caro-
lima Publishing Society (sec notice III
another column) to encourage the study
of our State history is step in the
right direction We are most ignorant
of our own history and will so remain
unless we begin its study early. \ val't-
able feature of the Forthcoming book,
elves of Distinguished North Caro-
linians," now nearly all printed, is the
speeches of some of its most distinguish
ed subjects. The speeches of CASTOR,
Murphy and Badger especially and the
sketch of Macon by Burton are fine for
defamation: the book will therefore be
a godsend to the schools which have
been forced to use Northern literature
for such purposes because we have lit
tie or none of our own. Perhaps this
constant defamation of such literature
will account in part for the march OF
Northern ideas.

THE POPULlSTS AND THE CIGARETTE
TRUST.

u
Rev. Baylus Cade made speech in
Harnett county last week in which be
maintained this proposition:
1.-The Populist is the only party that
stands between the people and the
trusts"
The Cigarette Trust is trying to fuse
with the Populists in Durham county.
The Cigarette Trust has demanded
that the Wake county Populists give
the Senatorship to the Republicans in
order that Dukes brother-in-law may
represent the Cigarette Trust from Wake
county in the State Senate.
We print the proposition Of Mr.. Cade
and the overtures of the Cigarette Trust
together here to say that IL viii not be
well to judge the Populists upon this
proposition until the Wake and Dur
ham county Topulists hold their cou-
vcntions and decide whether they will ac-
cept the proposition of the Cigarette
Trust to fuse.
II there is fusion between the Populists
and Republicans in these two counties,
upon the terms proposed by the Cigarette
Trust, the Rev. Cade will have TO take
back his assertion. Until the convcn-
tons of the Populsts fuse with the
Trust we shall not believe they will be-
come an annex to the Cigarette Trust.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE FARMER.
Dry Goods Chronicle.

Dry Goods Chronicle.
The crops are record breakers this
year, and we appear doomed TO wade
through oceans of stuff about the pros
perity of the farmer 1t may be stated
on general principles, that there is no
such thing. The farmer is mortgaged
entity. The only farmers who are net
mortgaged are those who scrmp aud
save, and who put their scanty savings
into their land instead of investing them
in food and fine linen.
The prosperous" farmer is the farm
er who does not positively affect the
business situation. The farmer who
continues to pay interest on his mort
gage, and who believes in living rath-
err than in existing, who goes into the
stores and leaves there Il share of his
money, is the only kind Of farmer the
business man can count on.
The farmer is Il freed slave He
raises the crops, he scrapes and waters
the earth, and by toll from sunrise to
sunset, and sometimes at moonrise, he
may annex enough food to sustain life.
The crops are the gift of nature, and
the farmer is her ill-paid servant
Prosperity of crops means that the
money lenders the railways and the
merchants will make money. The
farmer personally has almost nothing to
do with it.
Here is an example. A farmer, fifty
miles from New York. receives 40 cents
for Il can of milk. The same canful is
doled out to the New York consumers
at 81. The farmer pays for interest,
feed, cattle and labor out of his 40
cents, and the leave-oyer for him is not
much of Il wad. But the other fellows
have threesiXty of margin and they
are the men who make the prosperity
of the country.
In brief. the earth products of this
country are the basis of its prosperity.
But the first producers, the farmers, the
miners. the original workers-they are
awarded Il subsistence, and nothing
more. 1t seems to- be about time to
stop fooling the farmer. AS a rule, the
only thing he knows about prosperity
is what he reads about it, around cleo
ton time.

sEABoARD AIR LINE CASE.

Asheville. n. c., Aug. 17.-Argumenl

Ex-.Judge Fisher, of Baltimore, couh'

already before the Maryland courts and
should be tried there. One showed that

MADE TO COVER UP WRONG
DOING.
Biblical Recorder.

Biblical Recorder
The favoritc method of certain class
of men in this State is that of attacking
the character of the man who differs
with them. Instead of standing up
against his principles, arguments or dee
larations, SO soon as they begin to fear
that he may expose them or even differ
with them or cross the path of their de
signs or stand in the way of their am
billions, they proceed by all means to
destroy the confidence of the people in
, his character Every one knows how
terribly true this is. 1t is Il wrctched
business. 1t embitters the people, it
shakes the faith of some of them in fell
SHAKES the faith of some of them in their
fellow men. More often than not these
attacks are false. They are made to Gov
CIR up wrong doing, and often in hopes
of silencing self-respectful men who
know some things which these charac-
ter destroyers do not desire to be made
public. And it is not too much to say
that they proceed from men who are
more guilty than the men whom they
attack. Indeed such methods, if not Il
confession of guilt, are an Indication
that those who make them are base
minded and liable to be guilty. We de-
sire that public discussions shall be
conducted upon higher plane; and we
urge upon our people that they refuse
to hearken to the man who by insinua-
ton and innucndo betrays his purpose
of injuring the character of a fellow
man. If the people will insist that pub
lie men discuss their differences respect
fully, and fairly, and that if they shall
have any one to attack they shall at
tack him directly, so that they may be
held responsible, it will be very much
toward the public good. Put it down
that the man who has nothing with
which to defend or advance his cause
but the hope of robbing a fellow man of
the esteem Of the people, is not worth
reading after or hearing, much less be-
lieyiug
