Well, lets see about
that. The candidates were
and instructed by county
conventions. Who composed
these conventions They were
members of the Democratic party
and at the same time doubtless a
great majority of them members
of the Alliance. They were men
who were chosen at previous town
ship primary conventions in which
every man had a right to
pate. If men were chosen at those
primary conventions who did not
represent the wishes of a majority
of the people, the people them-
selves are responsible for it, and
not the delegates to the county
conventions. When the people
meet in body and select delegates
to a convention it is taken for
granted they will abide by the
action of the delegates. This is
the condition of affairs in North
Carolina present if we under-
stand it. The candidates were
brought out and instructed by
county conventions. The county
conventions were composed of
delegates selected by the people
en matte at the township
and the men whom these
delegates nominated and instruct-
ed were elected at the ballot box,
which was a ratification by the
people of what had been done in

It is said that the Al-

Under the present situation of

Of course they have no idea of
electing a President. But they
claim that they can North
and South Carolina, Kansas, Ne-
Minnesota, and probably
some other Western States. In
such a case there would be no
election by the electors, and the
election would be thrown in the
House of Representatives. This
has happened twice in the history
of our country. Mr. Jefferson's
first election, and the election of
John Quincy Adams. We think
North Carolina is sate for the

the Alliance puts out a candidate

we will be sure to

such case each State votes as a

there would be no difficulty in
electing a Democratic president.

Some idea of the great increase
the circulation of newspapers
in the South may be had by noting
the improved facilities which were
demanded by an unexpected in-
crease in circulation. In 1884 the
Atlanta Constitution bought a press
which printed twelve thousand per
hour. It was probably then the
largest press in the South, and it
was thought largo enough for the
work of the Constitution for at
least a score of years. But the
circulation has so increased that a
few weeks ago another huge press
was set up, the capacity of which
is forty-eight thousand copies per
hour, and now it takes both press
es to do the work. Of course all
other papers have not increased
in proportion with the Constitution,
but most of them can claim a fair
share of circulation. In building
up a country we believe a good
and able press is an important
tor, and we are glad to see that in
the great development of the
South, the press is not behind in
the race.

Improve Your Stock
Frank E. Emery, Agriculturist, N. C.
Experiment Station.
It has been well said that the male
is half the herd. And yet how few
of us practice on the side of improve-
by making this smallest and
least expensive half the best that will
increase the value of growing
stock. The head of a small flock of
sheep, when of a standard excellence,
costs but a trifle more than a mere
scrub when the difference in the value
of the progeny is co This
difference arises from the
of the thoroughbred male derived
from generations of well-fed and well
bred ancestors The same is true of
neat stock, of horses, of swine. It is
often the case that a first cross from
a thoroughbred sire produces an
animal which for appearance and
production of meat or milk is as pro
Stable as though thoroughbred itself.
The second and third cross from the
pure bred sire, or, better, another of
the same breed, becomes for all
purposes as good as the pure
breed except for breeding.
In a line of such breeding as this
fatten the males for market as
whether as lambs or yearling
mutton, or veal and beef. Those
who have not tried a thoroughbred
sire on common stock will be well
pleased with the result, especially if
they practice a rational system of
feeding their stock. Well-bred stock
can be easily reduced In production
by careless or poor feeding, sufficient
to more than counterbalance the gain
in breeding.
It would be preferable to feed
natives well than to grade up and
lose the benefit of it by poor feeding
let the advance be in both breed-
feeding, and good results,
will follow.

would have received ten thousand
if he had been elected, we
presume he will place it at that
amount. His case will amount to
about as much as his late con-
race. Newspaper men
are generally very cautious about
what they print, and when they
publish anything not favorable to
any one, they ought to know that
it is easily proven.
Last year one, a Rev. Dr. How
ard, we believe, of Tennessee
brought a heavy suit against
newspaper men and others at
Jackson for libel. He was
awarded one cent damages, and
had to pay cost amounting to
about one thousand dollars. Year

year Prof. Leigh entered libel suit

from this that a newspaper

members of the Democratic party

every man had a right to

primary conventions who did not would

not the delegates to the county

meet in a body and select delegates
to a convention it is taken for
granted they will abide by the
action of the delegates. This is
the condition of affairs in North
Carolina at present if we under-
stand it. The candidates were
brought out and instructed by
county conventions. The county
conventions were composed of
delegates selected by the people

If then their instructions

We do not believe the different
Alliances of the State will attempt
to the members of the
Legislature. They were voted for
and elected in the belief that they
were honest and upright men, and
certainly if they are honest and
upright men they will cast their
vote as they promised and as they

It is said that the Al-

for the Presidency in 1892.
Under the present situation of
fairs we have no objection to the
movement whatever, when we take
in consideration their prospects.
Of course they have no idea of
electing a President. But they
claim that they can carry North
and South Carolina, Kansas, Ne-
Minnesota, and probably
some other Western States. In
such a case there would be no
election by the electors, and the
election would be thrown in the
House of Representatives. This
has happened twice in the history
of our country. Mr. Jefferson's
first election, and the election of
John Quincy Adams. We think
North Carolina is sate for the
Democratic candidate,
other State they may carry. If
the Alliance puts out a candidate
and as the result of it the election
is thrown into the House of Rep-
we will be sure to
have a Democratic President. In
such case each State votes as a
unit and has one vote, and a ma-
of all the States is necessary
for a choice ; and as about three
fourths of the States have a major-
of Democratic Congressmen,
there would be no difficulty in
electing a Democratic president.

Some idea of the great increase
in the circulation of newspapers
in the South may be had by noting
the improved facilities which were
demanded by an unexpected in-
crease in circulation. In 1884 the
Atlanta Constitution bought a press
which printed twelve thousand per
hour. It was probably then the
largest press in the South, and it
was thought enough for the
wort of the Constitution for at
least a score of years. But the
circulation has so increased that a
few weeks ago another huge press
was set up, the capacity of which
is forty-eight thousand copies per
hour, and now it takes both press
es to do the work. Of course all
other papers have not increased
in proportion with the Constitution,
but most of them can claim a fair
share of circulation. In building
up a country we believe a good
and able press is an important
tor, and we are glad to see that in
the great development of the
South, the press is not behind in
the race.
