JAMES B. LLOYD'S OPPORTUNITY

Democratic Congressional con-
vention of the second district at
Wilson on Wednesday Of this week
unanimously adopted the following
resolution and adjourned without
making a nominations:
Resolred, That we hereby endorse the
principles of the Chicago platform and
pledge ourselves to secure the enactment
of those principles into law and that for
prot tctiOn OF our property, our liberty,
our good names and our homes. we de-
clar. that the white race must admins
ter all the laws of North Carolina.
And that in furtherance of these prin-
ciples and policies this body shall adj
Journ subject to the Democratic execu-
tive committee
This action disposes of the cry of
Democratic insincerity on the ques-
lions of free silver and white
supremacy.
There are no more faithful and
vigorous Democrats in the State than
those of the black district. They
| live under the shadow of negro rule.
They feel the deep humiliation of the
present disgraceful state of affairs.
In order that there may be nothing
in the way of electing free silver
white man to Congress, our friends,
with great fidelity to party prin-
ciples and with an entire giving up
of party advantage. have left the
field open to Capt. James b. Lloyd,
tibet Populist candidate.
If Captain Lloyd is for the reform
of the Chicago platform and against
negro rule in any locality in North
Carolina, and in favor of the rule OF
the white man everywhere, let him
so declare himself. White. his burly
negro opponent, has stated that he
invites the race issue. Can Captain
Lloyd do less? With the negro
White demanding with insolence OF
language and manner that the negro
shall stand together. can Captain
Lloyd do less than appeal with
earnestness and zeal to all the white
men to stand together? The issue i:
made up.
Congressman White is at the head
of the black column. Will Captain
Lloyd place himself at the head OF
the white column? He can do so i
he will. Let us wait and see if he
will do it. This is Captain Lloyd's
opportunity. Such an opportunity
as rarely comes to man of character
capacity and ambition. Let us SET
if he will embrace it.-Wilmington

To secure this immense treasure for

No green thing grows ON such field,

Australian Pluck.

Life on the frontiers of civilization is
favorable to the development of patient
endurance of what cannot he helped,
and that is about what is meant by the
good Old work pluck. \ good example
of this quality is cited by the author
of ~ Colonial Tramp" All Australian
boys are taught the necessity of guard,
ing against snake bites. and the method
of treating them. Two little fellows
six and eight years old. had gone into
the bush to play. The smaller one,
chasing a rabbit into a hole, pushed
his hand in and brought it back quick
ly, with the head of a most venomOus
snake attached to one of the fingers.
"Quick, Charley!" he cried. putting
down his hand on stump. Chop Off
my finger-thc snake has bitten it."
Charley. without hesitation. lifted his
aN and chopped Off not only the dam
aged finger, but two others as we'll.
Then the boys ran into town, over II
mile distant, TO a chemist. who plunged
the bleeding stumps into the strongest
ammonia and afterward dressed the
hand. Think of that, my Stanch young
fellows. and then try the effect of am-
monia on a little scratch-Drtruit Free

Another Worm.

An inspector was recently eNamin-
ing n class of girls in natural history.
Tell me the names of any animals
you Know" he began; but the faces of
the children expressed bewilderment
at the request. At length, however,
little girl at the back of the class
shot up her hand as though bright
idea had struck her.
"Ah," said the inspector, "the small
est girl in the class knows. Well, my
dear, what is it?"
"a worm,' came the triumphant au-
swer.
'Well-er-yes, worm is really an
animal, but can 10 one think of any
other?"
Again profound silence reigned.

inspector remarked, after a pause, on
seeing the same hand held up, Il should
be ashamed of myself"
Then turning to the little scholar as
n last resort, he said:
well, what is it this time, my girl?"
Another worm, sir" was the quick
response.-Scottish Nights.

BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost S2o,oOO.

Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with a baud of sneep last summer,
nas been heard from. lie sold part of
his flock for 100000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
Of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
lie drove the sheep In over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
Was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided 10 kill his sheep. lie
killed and sold 800, and received nearly
100000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to lie ont of the reach
Of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded TO Look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
It. After he had dug out a few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
To his muttons."
Ills stay had been SO prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson to be only few
miles away, had started for that city
10 enjoy some of the pleasures met
ropolitan city can afford. Ii proved to
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds Of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting

casses that invitations had been sent
out aud a general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Bchring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
SO large percentage of them.-Port-
