was there--and it was like cold
times to see him in the house of
his fathers.
His speech was brief but earn
est. He pledged himself anew to
the principles of Democracy and
said that the ticket nominated by
the convention would receive his
hearty and active support. He
was greeted on all sides by show
ers of hand shakes, many old
gray-headed men, who had been
boys with his venerable and rev.
cred Democratic father, press
ed forward to welcome him back.
The following Resolution was
unanimously adopted:

Of Interest to Cotton Farmers

Goldsboro, Aug. Oath. '98.
To whom it may concern:
Most of the public ginners in
our section have had their atten-
ton called to a standard press for
baling cotton. Messrs. Alex
Sprunt & Son have written to
nearly all the ginners in the State
setting forth the advantage of hay-
ing the cotton presses of uniform
size, "a inches wide by 81 inches
long. Messrs. Sprunt & Son have
advised us that they are going to
base limits on the standard bale and
will pay one sixteenth, or more, of a
cent per pound less for cotton
packed in irregular dimensions.
One sixteenth would make differ
ence of 80 cents on bale.
We urgently advise every gin
ner to use the standard size press,
"a K 81 inches. We also advise
all farmers who have to pay toll
to their neighbor for ginning their
cotton to urge them to change
their presses to the standard size,
If not already of the proper die
mensions, as the cost of changing
them would be a small trifie.
Very respectfully,
BEST e THOMPSON.

On one occa sion the Democrats

the leading men in the State.
When he was first nominated for

The sneer was widely circulated,
and on election day, an old time,

to vote. He had never been known
to scratch a Republican ticket,
and the Republican managers gath

acknowledgements on the grounds
and said: "They say that ourns'es
