The Murderer of Brazil.
There is a species of growing in
which has the unhappy name of
the Murderer Tree. It spreads
creepers along the ground till it comes
to some giant of the forest, then the
creepers twine around the trunk till
they reach the top of the tree. When
the creepers blossom, the seeds fall into
the ground and produce other creepers,
and soon the great trunk is covered
with the branches of the creepers,
time the tree gives way to enemy
and becomes nothing but the dead
trunk. How like the Murderer Tree
is the habit of drinking intoxicating
Who could suppose that a
few single creepers would have the
power to kill a great tree Who
could foretell that the future these
creepers could increase so greatly that
they would have the power to do so
great harm.

MAY 20TH, 1896.
Democratic Contention of Pitt
The convention of the Democratic
party which assembled in the Court
House on the 20th in every
way a representative body of men. It
was composed of intelligent, earnest,
sincere, good men whose opinions and
declarations arc entitled to be respect-
fully considered by even those who
may chance to differ with them. They
came to town, assembled and transacted
the business of the convention without
any bustle or hut with a quiet
determination which showed they knew
what they came for and that they meant
to do it. Many of the township meet-
which sent them had declared for
silver, and those that did not sent
solid free silver delegations so
that the convention was one
on absorbing question.
The declarations made by the con-
as will be teen by reading
them, deal mainly with the money
They set forth, in the Hist place,
the position of the party on
the coinage and use of both gold and
silver as standard or redemption money
from its organization the beginning
of this century till the days of those
who have betrayed its trusts since
1802. from to Cleveland no
man in his sense would have
thought of calling the Democratic party
a gold standard its every
declaration, act or vote on that question
would have given the lie to the charge.
The declaration of the convention
frankly admits that since 1892 certain
persons high In the councils of the par-
have been trying to lead the party
the camp, but these arc
denounced and nil Democrats are
called upon to rise up in
against them.
If we mistake not the temper of the
people, this call issuing from the people
of on the 20th of May, will
meet a hearty response not only
out North Carolina but in all the Slates
of the South and great West, and that
at Chicago the decree will go forth that
the men who tailed to fulfill the pledges
made in 1894 for the use of both gold
and silver as standard money shall no
longer be the tenders of the embattled
hosts of the Democracy of Jefferson and
Jackson.
The conventions in declarations
the fact that It was the
Republican party that the
gold into the financial system
of the Tinted Slate and then in sharp,
bold contrast it calls attention to the
change in the condition of the country
and the people under the American
Democratic Bimetallic standard and
the Anglo-Republican gold standard.
Under the former the country was
prosperous and the people were happy
contented while under the
the reverse The
the convention were
temperate in language the men
ho made them were quiet in demean-
or, but there was a determination about
them that means they are not going to
tolerate any dodging or on this
great question, and if we are to judge
from the men who were in that
we caution our representatives
and leaders to be open and honest with
the people if they hope to command
their support. The convention did
not fail to speak in befitting terms
of the recent Republican convention
and its
a white man who loves his State who
does not shudder at the thought of
Russell becoming its Governor Is
there a self-respecting colored man
who can vote for him and then return
to his wife and children whom he de-
as Have
the colored people no gratitude or man-
hood We would be loath to believe
it. and yet what must they think of
themselves and what must they expect
other people to think of them if they
vote for Russell And just here it
may not be to call the
attention of the colored people to the
conduct of a certain member of the
Democratic convention of Wednesday
and the of the Republican
convention of last week towards them.
While Russell was denouncing the col-
as and savages, Jar
vis was trying to educate and elevate
them. Russell praises them when he
wants their votes and denounces them
when he has no use for them. Jarvis,
no matter whether in public or private
seeks and labors at all time to bet-
their condition to fit them for
the higher duties of life. Will the
whole race turn who
have tried to educate and elevate them
and in a body vote to elect a man to
rule over them who tried to degrade
and debase them by calling them
and savages We shall not
it. We think better of the
race. But the white people must not
rely upon the detection of the colored
people to defeat the election of this
bold, bitter, bad man. It must be
manifest to every one that he s utterly
unfit to be the Governor of the State.
Who can tell what scenes of strife and
bitterness might not be stirred up
his revengeful leadership. The
man who could denounce an
and an race as and
savages cannot be expected to be just
or temperate in anything when his pas-
are aroused. It then becomes
the duty of the law abiding, peace
people of both races to forget, in
the presence of this threatened danger,
their differences on other questions and
to unite to elect some man Governor
who will seek to promote the prosperity
of the State and the uplifting of all the
people, and who will not seek to de-
grade or any. No National
legislation can bring prosperity and
to our homes if our State,
and city governments shall pass into
the hands of vindictive, men.

Washington, D. C. May,
Senator Gorman this week made

when he called attention to the fact
that there would not be money enough
in the Treasury to meet the
appropriations made
of Congress, by offering amend-
to the Fortification bill
the issue of in per
certificates of indebtedness. Of
course the Republicans threw up their
hands in holy horror at the idea of
such a thing, but none of them offered

An Estimable Man Whose
Stay in Our Town Won For Him
Many Friends in all
Last fall when D. J. Walker came
to Greenville from Durham and quiet-
announced his intention to locate
on this market as a buyer,
from his quiet and easy
everybody was glad to extend a
hearty welcome. Since that time he
has clearly identified himself with the
market in every particular that tended
to advance the market's best interest.
In his unassuming and
manner he has managed his business
in a business way and his work
since he has been Greenville has
been such as to inspire the strictest
confidence of his business associates
and awaken an command the highest
degree of respect and admiration of all
those with whom he hits been thrown
in contact. On or about Jan. 1st,
he formed a with J. S,
Jenkins for the purpose of conducting a
leaf business here. Prior to his
coming to Greenville Mr, Walker had
lived in Durham and had charge. the
business II. J. Bass Co., and
his experience as a buyer was limited
as he had always had charge of a facto-
and his line of duty never placed
him on the form-
partnership with Mr. Jenkins he
has acted wisely for there is no one
that better understands
the grades than J. Jenkins and
the factory Mr. Walker held forth his
end of the business with perfect
ion. Mr. Walker remained in Green-
ville until a few days ago when he left
to visit the head of North Car-
Virginia in the interest of the
business here and to send a short
cation at his country home up in the
mountains near Lynchburg, Va. He
will return to Greenville some time in
early in August to begin work
on the new crop. O. L. J.
