last campaign. went
into the Democratic conventions and
because they were Democrats and
were in the majority, controlled those
conventions. It can do the same
next year. They have thousands of
friends and sympathizers among
Democrats who are outside of the
Order who will co-operate with them
in securing the reforms
The organization of a third party
would deprive the Alliance of every
advantage they bad-gained and still
hold in this Slate, and would
have to begin anew the foundation
of success which could only be
attained, if attained at all, by years
of hard labor performed face of
outside opposition and internal dis-
frequent and
the treachery of pretended friends
What, then, can the Alliance hope
for Carolina through the
third party which has not already
been secured by means of the Dem-
last election they
secured a majority of the Congress-
men, a part of the State government
and the Legislature. Next year by
pursuing the same tactics they can
nominate and elect all the Congress-
men, the entire Slate ticket and a
large majority of the Legislature.
That is all they could hope to do
should they join third party and
win with it at the polls. There is
positively nothing to be gained by
abandoning the Democratic party.
Its principles are sound and in ac-
cord with Alliance principles, and
if men put into office will not act
up to there are plenty of Dem
who will, and it
is only necessary to put such men in
office.
But there is a great deal to be lost
by the Alliance if it the third
party, and every reasonable Alliance-
man knows it. They will lose the
moral and active assistance
of their friends outside the order;
they will suffer from the active op-
position of many Democrats who are
not friendly to it but who have
been bound to silence and in-
action by party loyalty.
There i j another matter for serious
consideration. The third party
be confronted in North Carolina by
the same problem which presents
itself in Kentucky and Virginia. In
Kentucky the third party was form-
ally organized and entered the cam-
The result was that a very
large proportion of the vote it cast
at the election was drawn from the
Republican party, which hoped by
that means to control it and return
to power. The Republicans of
have determined to make no
nominations support Alliance
candidates, as the only means by
which they can again be a in
politics. They remember the success
with which they co-operated with
the Readjuster element of the Demo-
party, finally swallowing that
element and by its assistance defeat-
the Democracy. Yet the State
debt which the wanted
to settle still remains unsettled.
As it has been in Kentucky and
Virginia so it will be here if the third
party is organized by the Alliance
men. The Republican party in
North Carolina is dead but it has
some shrewd individual members in
the State who will if possible use the
third party to hoist themselves into
control of the State government.
Every white man in North Carolina
from recent experience knows what
that means. Every man ought to
know also that when
cans have once been into power
by means of the third party they
would care nothing for the reforms
demanded by the Alliance, because
they have in this State refused to
place Alliance demands in their
platform and because the very
principles upon which
can party is founded have made these
Alliance demands necessary. They
can no more advocate Alliance
honestly than
can honestly advocate
When Republicans
favor the Alliance platform they are
no longer Republicans.
Those are serious times, not only
for the Democratic party, bat for the
Alliance also. as suit as the
third party is launched in North
Carolina just so sure will the Alli-
lose its prestige and power and
become a side-show to the Re-
publican This is no highly

BUTLER'S VIEWS.
President Marion Butler, of the
State Alliance, is as true a member
of the Alliance as can be found in
the State. This writer knew him
and worked with him during the last
legislature and knows that he is true
to the Alliance in every respect. No
one can doubt Marion Butler's loyal-
to the older. Therefore when he
opposes the third party it is from a
strong conviction that the movement
would be injurious to the Alliance.
In an interview at Raleigh last week
lie gave expression to his views which
are sound and worthy of
He said
do not see in North Carolina
any prospect for the success of the
third party. My view is that we can
accomplish what we desire without
it. The farmers want certain relief.
I The easiest way to get it is the best
way. At the same time farmers do
not compromise in any way their de-
for relief. There are enough
reasonable men the State to know
that it will not do to fight the farm-
if the latter act in a sensible and
conservative way. I believe they
will so act, but they will not be
fled with, and as their president I
shall stand by them in their demand
for relief. Of course, the third party-
is already organized, but it is not
needed in North Carolina. Here the
farmers can get what they need. All
we have to do is to conduct ourselves
properly and success is
on Debt.

The principal work that can be
done in the corn fields is fodder pull-
We would be glad to see this

because it certainly often injures the

not as good as any hay
but for reason that at the best

if the latter are to be saved in good

grain often amounting to the total

custom born of necessity and handed

WEDNESDAY,
There seems to be a growing
disposition every where of dis-
trust in the verdict of juries
Whenever a heinous crime is com
the case seldom reaches a
jury. The people take the law
into their own hands and the
criminal pays the severest penalty
of the law without the shadow of
a trial. As much as we should
condemn such a course, as
much as it ought to be
by every liberty loving
citizen, yet we are free to confess
that, there seems to be some
excuse for such seeming
usurpation. Delays in trials, the
failure of juries to convict in the
face of evidence and law, the
looseness with which many wit
swear, the technicalities
thrown in the way of justice by
shrewd attorneys all go to weaken
the confidence of the masses in the
jury system, and are doing much to
subvert the ends contemplated in
a trial by jury. Every day fur-
us fresh evidence of this
growing evil. Fresh in memory
the trial
just finished at Hampton in Va.
It seems that the all

constituted manslaughter and in
consequence the imprisonment of
Yet the jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty. The result
has been the holding of indigo v-
meetings in several places
denouncing the action of the jury.
Subsequently at a meeting of the
jury, in which it was decided that
the cause of the indignation meet
the disappointment of the
prosecuting attorney, it was re-
solve that they proceed at once to
the home of the attorney and give
him a genteel thrashing. When
however they reached his abode
they were met by the muzzle of a
rifle in the hands of the attorney's
wife who claimed to be a better
shot than her husband and left
without accomplishing their
pose. This is only one of a thous-
and occurrences that weaken con
in juries. It is time to
call a halt. Juries should convict
when the evidence is sufficient and
let the criminal receive his just
punishment.

This privilege has been granted
the Colonel on account of the in-

of tobacco, and his unbounded
enthusiasm in giving prominence
to the Golden The
Colonel has advertised this
belt more than any man in
the county and it is but propel
that this should be recognized
and appreciated not only by
those interested in the Warehouse
but by every one who desires to
see this county prosper. It is
now being generally conceded
that this is in deed and troth the
Golden I and that it is
far superior in natural advantages
to the Golden Belt in Granville
county. Col. Sugg has, it is stat-
ed, some as fine tobacco as was
ever grown in the State. We
hope he may some of it at
the opening sale hero and realize
a price for it that may in some de-
compensate him for the great
interest he is taking in talking up
the enterprise of raising and sell-
tobacco in this county.

as carrying even the cardinal virtues
too far. I was out yachting with a
party of invited guests and a little ac-
happened that might, hoc for
the presence of mind of certain
of the company, have been a very
serious affair. As it was, no harm
was done, beyond a few bruises and
scratches, but there were some
of feminine peculiarities which

no little impression on me, as well as
on a number of the members of the
party.

At once tho steam came rustling into
the saloon and toward the staterooms.
Several of the men rushed through the
almost blinding vapor to the rescue of

out all right, although they were joss
taking their beauty sleep, as it was
half past in the evening. The third
stateroom was occupied by a rather
quiet young woman, and when we
rapped and pounded at the door, she
seemed to think that we came on
some errand of evil.

entreaties that she open the door, she

a large cloak and blanket, carried the
young woman, screaming and angry, to
a place of safety.
this time the steam was some-
thing dreadful; our very lungs were
almost scalded. I had more than half

take her chances with life, but she was
a relative of the host and I didn't like
to say such a thing. Besides, it wouldn't
be nice, you know, to leave the girl to
be steam cooked in a stateroom. I
finally concluded that she must be out
of her sonata and would be all right
next day.

when, on meeting her the next morn-

no inconvenience, she deliberately
turned her back to me and stood look-

Who u to Blame f
The Reflector has frequently
called attention to the fact that one
man cannot know everything that
occurs in a town of Green-
ville nor keep up with movements
of all the people, and those who go
and come or have visitors from else
where ought to keep the editor ac-
with the facts. If you are
going away for awhile or have guests
it would be an easy matter for you
to step by the office and tell us
or inform us by note or mes-
sage. There are many such items
that escape an editor called
to his attention. Some times com-
plaints reach us that such a per-
son who had gone or such a per-
son who was visiting here was
not mentioned in the Reflector.
We are a ways too glad to make
personal items to neg
any. In the case of visitors
we think it is a courtesy due your
guests that you should inform the
local paper of their presence. If you
neglect this and we happen not to
find it out don't blame us for your
own discourtesy.
Model Farming.
Not many days ago we made an-
other pleasant visit to the splendid
farm Mr. J. B. Yellowley, just be-
low town, and enjoyed a feast of de-
grapes. He has a large vine-
yard in which are many of the very
best varieties of grapes. At this
season he has the
James, and the latter
a variety discovered and named by
his uncle, the late Col. E. C- Yellow-
the former owner of
which he gave the same name. Be-
sides growing an abundance of fruits
Mr. Yellowley is a strong believer in
trucking and is very successful in it.
Last spring he shipped from a four
acre patch nearly quarts of
strawberries. He is waking a larger
patch, for year. He also has
little more than an acre of asparagus,
now in its second year, and says
spring he to sell worth
of roots from that
yields a continuously every

man cannot know everything that
occurs in a town the size of Green-

Not many days ago we made an-
other pleasant visit to the splendid
farm Mr. J. B. Yellowley, just be-
low town, and enjoyed a feast of de-
grapes. He has a large vine-
yard in which are many of the very
best varieties of grapes. At this
season he has the
James, and the latter
a variety discovered and named by
his uncle, the late Col. E. C Yellow-
the former owner of
which he gave tho name. Be-
sides, growing an abundance of fruits
Mr. Yellowley Is a strong believer in
trucking and is very successful in it.
Last spring he shipped from a four
acre patch nearly quarts of
strawberries. He is a larger
patch fey year. He also has
little more than an acre of asparagus,
now in its second year, and says next
spring; he to sell worth
of roots from that
yields a crop continuously every
year for a life time if it is properly
cultivated and is a very profitable
crop.
As the winter draws on many
people will want more reading matter.
