the State Treasurer, as Col. Tate
was appointed under the law
the next general election.

was found in Kinston Friday
morning. Buzzards has picked
it to pieces so that it could not be
told whether it was white or black.
Two white men, John Green

about religious matters near Fay-
A fight followed and
Herring was killed- Green was
promptly arrested and placed in

One of the most remarkable
transactions ever attempted in
this State has created a sensation
at Henderson. J. R Moss is post-
master there. He is a
con holdover and his attempt was
to sell the to a
man named A- M. Basket, who
fives a couple of miles from Hen-
The consideration was
to be to be paid by Basket-
The latter mortgaged his farm to
raise the necessary money, and
paid to a lawyer to prepare
papers. He also agreed to pay
the expenses of Moss and his at-
to Washington to make
the transfer. When Moss and
lawyer returned and Basket found
they could not deliver goods he
raised a row and declined to pay
any more money. The lawyer at
once made an attempt to sell the

of the Washington trip and other
expenses, to
Basket was compelled to go be-
fore a judge and get an order re-
straining the lawyer from selling
his property. The Judge said
he would have to do with
such a case, and has referred it

MANY POSSIBILITIES
With Fusion or Without Fusion.
Here is a pointer for young
wee to remember. Talking with
a man the other who has a
wire to support and who earns
about a week, he said for
a long time he was forever in
debt-
Try as he would he could not
make his money hold out, though
he knew his legitimate household
expenses were not so heavy.
thinking over the matter he
concluded that his best plan was
to avoid going in debt- He em-
ployed unlimited credit and when
he had no money in his pocket
he would buy on time-
Of course the accounts he made
were small, but when the day of
reckoning came around he was
short-
Then he made a new resolution
to buy anything unless he
could pay cash for it. Often he
was tempted to violate his time and he go in
but he clung to it, and he
says was wonderful.
He accounts for it in this way
Buying on credit he found he
purchased things he could very
well do without. Besides this he
soon learned that there was a
great saving in paying spot cash.

Record-
North Carolinians can be seen
putting their heads together every
night in the quiet places about
the Metropolitan Hotel. Populist
and Republican fusion is the
principal topic, with incidental
allusions to the senatorial and
congressional fights.
In the first district, represented
by Mr. Branch, it is generally
thought that he will be
toil. but that he will have to fight
a fusion candidate. It is not
known yet who this will be- It is
not thought that Harry Skinner
would run on a f He
may run as an Independent Pop
or something of that kind,
though many believe that he
will stump the State with a free
and, in case of a
can-Populist Legislature being
elected, will contest for Ransom's
seat against Butler.
In the second district every
thing will be smooth sailing for
Mr. Woodard, as far as the
nation goes. Some few hint at
W. H. being a candidate
but indications are that Woodard
will be re-nominated by
His most formidable op-
would be young Mr. W.
W- Long, the popular and rising
Warren county representative,
but Mr. Long when asked about
it to-night said that he was for
Woodard and that Mr. Woodard
was making such a splendid
Representative that he would re-
turn. There will be three tickets
in the field, it is thought. The
will one, and the
Populists one. It is not thought
that the will submit to
association the Populists.
The Democrats will have a fair

Mr. Cicero Harris, representing
that great paper, the Charlotte

peep at the hotel register

minute and out he goes. The
Observer is back there by night
the next day and Queen's news
stand tells me that it sells more
copies than any other paper south
of Richmond. Sitting over to
the left is Joseph Esq.,
a man who usually keeps his
eyes open for pointers. But here
comes John B. Hussey and he
carries himself with that dignity
that tries overcome the self-
consciousness that he is a snake
in the grass. He receives no
cordial greeting. Few North
Carolinians lower themselves to
speak to their betrayer. He
feels mean, for he has lost
the once firm step and hopeful
eye. Later on comes of
the Richmond Dispatch, and
Ashby, of the Times.
seems to be a Simmons man.
They both interest themselves in
North Carolina matters-
It seems to be pretty well de-
here that it will be better
for the and Pop-
to fuse, as far as the De-
is concerned. However,
con ally and a tori ally
speaking, it is tit for tat. But
one thing is Fusion
will put Tom Settle in a hole and
carry others with him.
It is very uncertain as to who
will be the
in the third district. Mr. Grady
will hardly be returned though
he is a splendid man. He has
very little inclination toward
politics and, now that he has been
by a second term, he
may retire at his own choice. It
will be remembered that he was
not a candidate for the
when first chosen. If Mr.
would happen to miss
confirmation he would be the
could win hands
down. But if confirmed he may
insist on having Mr. Grady run
in three
years as his successor. Mr. Sim-
mons is looked upon good
senatorial timber. If Senator
Ransom is re-elected this time
and Simmons gels back in Con-
in three years, he stands a
good chance to the senior
Senator ; ex Governor Jarvis will
then be too old. Bat it may be
that Cumberland may
to name the next man for Grady's
seat There is no chance for a
fusion ticket to succeed in that
district.
In the fourth, it pretty
well understood that Mr. Bonn
will not be There
being so many aspirants who
have been his friends all along,
he may give way to them. Four
good men are named for the
Democrats to
M. Cooke, N. B. Broughton, G-
S. Bradshaw and Jas. H-
Either one of them can beat
Loge Harris or John Nichols
fusion or no fusion.
The fifth is the most
of all. Only two men are
named as probable Democratic
candidates, should Mr. Williams
not gain his Jno. L. King,
of Guilford, and Jno. R. Webster,
of Rockingham, with chances
favoring Webster. It is generally
admitted by Webster's enemies
here that he can poll the biggest
vote in any emergency, fusion or
no fusion, and since it is
certain that Tom Settle will
agree to no fusion and that Web-
popularity with the farmers
renders it useless for the Pop-
to name a
date. Webster's chances of carry-
the district would be fine.
However the would
have their Tom Set-
however, will have a hard
pull without fusion. If he refuses
to combine he will fail at election
while if he agrees to fusion he
will be snowed under.
In the sixth district, Alexander
will come back if he fights for it.
Otherwise Jno. D. Bellamy, Jr.,
of Wilmington, is considered next
best. Either would be elected.
The seventh district is a little
complicated. Zeb Vance Walser
will be the candidate if
any fusion is made. Otherwise
he will come out straight
can. He can carry Davidson
county heavily as a fusion
date, but would fall short on the
district. Mr. Henderson may
retire, in which event Mr. Leazar
would be the nominee of the
Democrats if he wants to be.
The eighth is considered safe for
Bower, but he may have to fight
John Brower or Dr. Wheeler,
though neither of the latter would
hardly agree to any fusion in
theirs. It may be that a Populist
may head the fusion ticker. Mr.
Bower has been abused on ac-
count of his trying too bard to
keep from leaking mistakes in
recommendations ft r office, but
he has been making such a fault-
less record here that no one can
down him. It is generally ad-
here that he has succeeded
in getting more positions for his
constituents than any new Con-
from the South who
has had no Senator or cabinet
officer to pull for him.
The ninth district will see a
lively time in both conventions,
Democratic and can-

Crawford can be beaten by Rich-
Pearson. Ex-Republican

J. M. Moody, of Haywood,
told me that Crawford
can beat Pearson, bat that the
latter would not even

said he spent and
he knows it cost Pearson f
Hon. Elias and ex-Judge
J. H. Merrimon may contest with
Crawford for the nomination bat
unless they combine, which is
hardly probable, they cannot
defeat him.
Looking at the senatorial fight
in the light of present

that the next Legislature will
have to elect two Senators. Sen-
Vance, it is thought, will
resign even if he survives the

that if resigns Ran

House last week, the Senate,
counting upon the votes of the
populists, and upon forcing the
silver Democrats to choose be-

being to keep the Bland bill be

Democrats learned of this pro-

the initiative in getting the Bland
bill before the Senate, Senator

probably be about ten days be-

DEGENERACY OF THE ALLI-
Falling off at the
Meeting of the Supreme Council Due
to the Third Party Movement.
Tim National
The meeting of the Supreme
Council of the Farmers
at Topeka, Kan., showed a
falling off in attendance.
It is melancholy to contemplate
that while at there were
present a very large number of
delegates from sub-Alliances all
over the country, and the pro-
of such an enthusiastic
character as to have been entitled
to wide publication all over tho
United States, it should come to
the point where, in the cradle of
the Alliance, the Supreme Council
of only twenty-nine
members, ten of them being
officials, and the proceedings of
such an unimportant character
that we have failed to find any
mention of them until weekly
organs of the Alliance come to
us There must be a reason for
this falling off. Tho fault is
either in tho platform or in the
attempts that have been made to
lug the Alliance off into the third
party We think that
the fault lies in both places.
First, because several of tho
demands of the platform are
repugnant to the
spirit of independence, which
repudiates, at all times and in all
places, the idea that one of
citizens is to be assisted at the
expense of another; and second,
been use the rank and tile of
Alliance were not in agreement
with the leaders who proposed
that its membership should go
into the Populist movement
Originating third party move
is a of the young to
right what they to be
wrongs.
We freely confess that for
twenty years of our life we were
carried off in the same way; but
we recognize now that there is
only one way to political
results, and that is through the
one or the other of tho exist
political parties. In order to
secure tho interest of either of
these parties it is necessary that
those seeking political reforms
should place themselves within
the lines as active members,
their fight there instead of
on the outside. It is evident that
tho bulk of the membership of the
Alliance is in agreement with us
on this matter. If they were not,
there would have been a large
at Topeka at the an-
session- In our opinion the
sparse attendance there is a
proof that both the Alliance
platform and its political program
are in the wrong direction. The
entire representation at tho To-
Council, we have said, was
twenty-nine, and they represented
nineteen States. There were two
from South Dakota, three from
North Carolina, two from South
three from Texas, one
each from Virginia, New York,
Nevada, California, Indiana, Min-
Kentucky, Tennessee,
Iowa, Nebraska, and Mississippi,
three from Pennsylvania, two
from Colorado, two from Georgia.
Most astonishing of all is the fact
that Kansas, the State in which
the convention was held, had but
one representative- We find that
seven States of the West were
represented, nine of the South
and three of the North and East
Taken all in all, the convention of
the Supreme Council was a very
sorry showing for the
that a few years ago had two
million members.

reports, know, are unworthy

have failed to pay attention
whatever to a great many that

here is one that is so amusing
and outrageously false in every

of a great many that are given out
by drummers from other markets.
A few days age a drummer, we
suppose he was, came in the ware-
house just before sale. From his

and paid him no further attention.
We walked around the
warehouse until after the sale and
then we suppose lie went out
drumming. At a country home,
about three miles from town, he
spent the night and this is the
impression he left of Greenville.
He said there were no orders on
the Greenville market, that there
had been but they had bean taken
that he witnessed a sale in
Greenville and that offered a
certain buyer a handsome
profit on what he bought that day,
that cutters sold as high as
on his market, and worst of all
that Mr. J. J. Rives had made
in the last mouth buy-
tobacco in Greenville and
shipping to his market. He said
also that Mr. F- M. Smith had a
load of tobacco on the floor, of the

high prices because he was there
and Mr. Smith had taken some
off our floor before and shipped
to his market and had made money
on it. We will answer the last
charge first and say of the whole
that there is not the slightest
of truth in any

are frequently asked about
the future price of tobacco, on
what the or value depends
and whether it will be worth as
much next year as it was this,
These are important questions to
the farmers and it is well that
they make such inquiries. It
shows that the farmer is begin-
to think and for
himself, which is an important
step to success anything.
While we have very decided views
about the future value of bright
tobacco, yet its price is largely
dependent on artificial causes
and conditions which are too nu
at present to mention in
detail but in the course of two
or three weeks we shall endeavor
to give to our readers the leading
natural causes affecting the price
not only of tobacco but of a great

eastern farmers have to deal.
