To day marks a crisis in North
Carolina's politics and prosperity
that no well informed man can
contemplate without grave fears as
to the result. No day the past
twenty five years of the State's his-
has had more dependent upon
its action. More momentous is-
sues have never before with
hung upon the actions of any one
body as present to the
convention which meets in Raleigh
to-day. For the past three or
four years there has been an
rest among the masses which,
the nursing of unwise
prudent men and in some cases
fanatical and unprincipled to
large extent, has reached a point
that almost threatens the tearing
asunder past party affiliations, the
demolition of the only party that
has ever been a friend to the labor-
man, and the turning over
again the destinies of our
State into the of that party
that robbed her of everything save
her honor, and even placed this in
jeopardy. The delegates to this
State convention, could they look
a few years into the future and
the results of this meeting, would
feel that they are charged with a
mission by far more important
than ever confronted their
We verily believe that
the work done this convention
will maintain the integrity of
party, heal the threatened breach
and forever establish Democracy
in the Old North State by the
storm through which it has
passed, or it will bring
upon the State and
divisions which no living man or
men can reconcile and
scenes and calamities
to those of
We do not now recall any
previous occasion when men have
gone into a convention for the
sole purpose of introducing meas-
which they know will be sure
to create discord, and yet if we are
to believe the facts this will be
true the body that meets to-day.
The trusts that these
fears are not well founded and that
there may be perfect harmony but
the prospects are anything else
than favorable to this as it now
pears. Wisdom prudence all
around are -the only things that
will save us. No hot headed en-
are needed in to-day's
convention. It does seem to us
that if there ever was an occasion
when the issues at stake demanded
patriotic consideration that they
do to-day. Nothing but love of
country and good government can
prompt action that will to-day
unite us in a common cause-
There is a demand just now that
he who is an and he
who is not, that he who favors free
coinage of silver and he who op-,
poses it, that who advocates
Cleveland and he who favors some
other man- that he who wants the
sub-treasury plan and he who op-
poses it, that he who favors the
St. Louis demands and ho who
denounces them, that he who
favors this or that man for Govern-
or and he who prefers some other,
shall make sacrifice of
personal preferences
for the common good of the
people of North Carolina, and that
there shall be a united effort to
heal all differences and present a
solid front for reform and good
government which are the cardinal
principles of the Democratic party.
In doing this it will not be
to sacrifice principle. These
are eternal in the Demo-

going to stop over a day in

on us. They might not have

intention was to lick him he

was a dead walk over, on our side.
The Herald man was at the depot,
loaded for bear, but when he got

we took pity on the poor fellow,

Ride I We'd like to sec somebody

don't own a horse. An animal of
that kind around the depot would
be a curiosity indeed, while a
going through the street would
draw eyes like a circus parade-
Would you think Salisbury, a
town of people, to be that
kind of a place That is just the
size of it- Twelve passenger trains
stop here every twenty-four hours,
but an omnibus or any vehicle to
take passengers up town cannot
be had. This being so, you can
imagine how a man feels arriving
hero at midnight after a weary
lays travel, and has to walk half a
mile or more over rough streets to
get to his stopping place.
We don't like to say anything
about Salisbury, for we like the
old town and will not to
do so, if it will have vehicles to
meet the trains hereafter.
Lets see. We spent a day here
last August and noticed some
things that were going on- There
have been right many changes
even the short time since then.
One change is a new boy in the
Herald family that wasn't on hand
at our last visit- This makes three,
all boys, and looks like the Herald
can have all the printers it is look
for by and by, if it learns these
boys to make good

Rowan held her Democratic
county here Saturday,
and my goodness, what a wrangle
they had The air was blue even
till to-day. The Alliance and
Third Parties came in full force
and in every way to
capture the convention, but were
downed at every point and came
out badly behind- The Democrats
are jubilant, because the Alliance
had done its work in and
thought it had It was a good
day for Rowan Democracy,
the old may be depended
upon to do her duty when election
time comes-
News comes down from Concord
that the convention was
even a worse wrangle than they
had here in Rowan, and resulted
in two sets of delegates being
to the State convention.

Coming over our trip Saturday
we perhaps heard more politics
talked than any other one thing.
Between Rocky Mount and Raleigh
we were with Rev. J. Powell,
a native of some of

He is a good but a

much regret that his native county

Marion Ho said the

will be the overthrow of the
Alliance, the order can never
expect to accomplish any good or
secure any relief by following such
men.
We reached Raleigh just after
the Wake county convention had
been held, and learned that it was
a very harmonious one. Though
President Butler was in the city,
his presence had no effect, and the
Democrats elected their delegates
without trouble. S. Otho

caused some trouble out in his
township and tried to carry it into
the convention, but was promptly

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, May
Presidential rumors have L en
flying thick and fast this
First, it was said that Senator till
had made up his mind to withdraw
in favor of Governor Flower-
Next that Mr. Cleveland would
soon make public a letter declining
to allow his name to be presented
to the convention, and advising
the party to seek its candidate
the West; and still another that
Mr- Cleveland had submitted a
proposition to Senator Hill for
their withdrawal in favor of some
New York man to be mutually
agreed upon, or in the event of
that being rejected, or their
to agree upon a New
Yorker, to withdraw in of
some western man, with Hill as
Vice President. all belong
to the if of
news, and are only mentioned to
show the feverish condition of
things political at this time.
The sending of ex-Senator Bruce,

District of Columbia when a fat
local office is to be filled a
citizen of Mississippi when
gates to a republican national
convention are to be elected, upon
a Southern tour to strengthen the
Harrison hold upon the instructed
delegates to the Minneapolis con-
is regarded as the most
direct of weak
yet made by the Harrison
managers; but it is said that
something had to done at once
to counteract the work that anti-
Harrison agents, plentifully sup-
plied with money, are doing
the delegates, or else they
would all opposed to Harrison
by the time tho convention meets.
Whether Bruce will use money or
promises to conjure them with is
not altogether certain, but from
what others have told about other
Presidential years, it may be as-
that both will be used, the
former sparingly, and the latter
plentifully-
A strongly backed movement in
favor of refined sugar on the
free list, is making itself felt in
Congress. It is claimed, doubt-
less with that in no other
way can the detested sugar trust
be so quickly or so surely of
its power. Many republicans
admit their belief that it
would a good to nut
refined sugar on the free list, but
their votes would be controlled by
their party leaders should the
Ways and Means Committee of
the House decide to favorably
report a measure, and not by
their private opinions.
Represent of
thinks that while the
are over the
legislation granting the rights
privileges of American registry to
tho two big ships of the
line, is a good time to get the
question of ships before Con-
and the country, so he has
introduced a resolution asking
that June G, and devoted by
the House to a discussion of the
bill providing for the free
to American registry of ships
built in countries, the final
vote to be taken at o'clock p. in.
on the 8th. This is regarded by
democrats generally as a good
move, as the bill, if passed by the
and forced to a vote in the
Senate, will show that the
can Senators did not vote to admit
the City of New York and City of j
Paris to American because
they favored ships, but be-
cause they wanted the In man

they could not without

Education and
From the side of religion many pro-
tests have been made against the present
system of popular education. The clergy
of the different churches cannot help
thinking that at least the more
doctrines of the Christian faith
be officially taught; and they
must discouraging picture- of
chat the moral of the youth of
this country will be if their counsels
are not heeded. All sound and success-
moral teaching, they contend, most
repose upon a basis of theology, and to
confine ethical teaching to the region of
the natural is to deprive it of all war-
rant, of all authority, of all coercive
power.
If these views were correct, it would
be difficult to see how the weakness of our
schools on the moral side could ever be
remedied, for nothing is more certain
than that any attempt to teach theology
in them would be predestined failure.
The some will pay for
in the pulpit, but they are not
willing to pay for it in the schools, and
have shown most unmistakable ways
that they do not want it there. The
question, then, Shall all attempts at
moral teaching in the public school be
abandoned, seeing that it cannot be ad-
ministered as an adjunct of theology,
or shall a brave effort be made to give
it an status of its own and
a fair chance to show what it can ac-
when conducted on purely

plenty of other places, each having

a beaten track for the most part.
That is, most business men, being
regular in their habits, do mostly
the same thing every day. They
can't help it. They may studiously
vary for a short time, but they soon
fall back into the rut. Most of these
men lead a life as humdrum as that

When Traveling Was
During the first quarter of the
present century the westward trend
of civilization was very slow. Up to
1825 canals had not been thought of
west of New York. The average
time required to make a trip from
Cincinnati to New Orleans and back
was six mouths. The craft made
use of were necessarily small, and
the cargoes proportionately light,
and when they arrived in Now Or-
leans in flatboats, which could not

The eggs which are sold as. a week
old in the summer come from Long
Island. That they are just as good

occasionally a chick is hatched from

the city. It must be remembered,
course, that twenty-one days are usu
ally required for an egg to hatch.

road, and hence to the A. R. Junction
on the A. R. to get around wreck a
distant of thirty-five miles to reach
a point ten or twelve miles beyond the

Meeting at the Baptist Church.
The meeting at the Baptist church up
until Monday had been conducted by Rev.
J. E. of Richmond, Va. There
had been up to that time some seven or
eight conversions. On Monday after-
noon Mr. received a telegram an-
the extreme illness of his
mother, and in consequence he left yes-
morning to by her bedside.
Providence he may return to-
wards the latter part of this week and
continue the meeting through the
next week.
Rev. Mr. had been in Green-
ville for the past eight days holding this
meet He was here ten years ago,
and some of the best and most
men of the town were converted
his preaching are now pushing
forward in the Christian race. Mr.
son is much loved here and no minister
who has ever held a meeting here has
done any better work than he. As
evangelist he uses no methods
with which to catch people and count
them as converts. His methods are gos-
to the core and no man who is not a
confirmed hypocrite accept his
without feeling that lie is acting
with the eye of his God upon him and is
indeed to Him for the truth-
of the step he is taking. As a
preacher he is plain, simple, and
and yet strong, forcible, and
convincing. He takes no man for his
pattern. His style is own,
and he seems to have but one model
that is his Master Christ Jesus. We have
never listened to a man who is a clearer
thinker, a more astute, and yet common
sense reasoner than is Mr. His
arguments are invincible and always
carry conviction of their truthfulness. In
fact his preaching is pure, simple, plain,
practical, unadulterated gospel of Christ
Jesus. people can hear him preach
without being better. His words and
godly life arc an inspiration to every one
with whom he comes in contact.
Many were the hearts that were sad on
Monday night when they knew that lie
had been summoned to the bedside of his
mother therefore must leave us,
and will be the prayers that he
may soon come among us again. God
sustain him in the noble work which he
is doing. ,

about one-half of per cent, which
would mean live dollars a day to tho

limits its liability to on each

Another policy, issued also on tho

for the payment either of one-

In return each workman is charged
by the employer a Caw cents a week
