Again, I remark that Henry W. Grady stood for Christian irrespective of political spoils. He could have been Governor of Georgia, but refused it. He have been Senator of United States, but de- it. He remained plain Mr. Grady.

A word about Mr. Fife is certainly a holy, crated man. He ignores self com- and exalts God and Bible. The Word is everything with him. He does not offer his opinion as a but he goes to the Bible to sustain every state- He is but an instrument in the hands of Him who is able to do all things. He wants a saith the to fortify every position, he produces bis authority each time. He cares not what men may say, but asks himself, What will God say He could stand the scoffs and jeers of men when he knew that God was with him. His holy he said, he bad consecrated his life, his all, to His service. He is deeply in earn- est. This fact impresses every- body.

This bill provides for the establishment of government warehouses in every county the United the petition of one hundred or more citizens of that county, providing they can prove that the average gross amount cotton, wheat, corn, oats and tobacco produced and sold in each of the two preceding years in that county has exceeded value of a current prices. This bill, introduced is to have emanated from the Alliance, an of great numerical strength in the South West, that is rapidly spreading in all the States and This measure is modeled upon the which has been in operation several years, and is the outgrowth of a forcible letter written by Col. Harry Skin- of Greenville, North Carolina, was early last year in the Farmer, m Raleigh agricultural who re- his arguments in more con- terms in Frank Leslie's Illus- Newspaper, over his own signature, last November. Col. Skinner, however, only asked that this system should apply to cotton and he gave as a reason for its adoption the fact that while the Southern States held virtually a monopoly of production of that important staple, yet its price In the markets of the world was de- annually before the season's crop was by speculators and consumers. As the national constitution lively forbade the levying or duties on exports, and as protection was I he national policy, Col. Skinner argued that the only way which cotton growers could get the real value of their crops was t have the government intervene, and, through a system, fix n reasonable price upon this great staple the South, and thus pro- the tanners as fully as it docs the manufacturer. What Col. Skinner wished to secure was gov- protection to the cotton planting industry equal to that given to silver miners and to distillers. The Alliance has adopted Col. Skinner's plan, but claims similar protection for the producers of to- coin and wheat. The Atlanta Constitution concise- states the proposition by currency reform Is the one upon which they most strenuously insist, and in it they seek by a bold stroke to solve the money problem a manner that will make farm products as current as bullion. The scheme Is simply that the gov- issue, the crop season, a currency based, on non-perishable products, advancing to the farmers eighty per cent, of the crop's value for twelve months. With this vigorous measure they propose to re-arrange the whole financial sys- of the country, the task they demand the aid of those who ask their Putting it in other words, the farmers wish to establish a flexible currency that will relieve them from the exactions of merchants and middlemen, and also give a reason- able chance to take advantage of any advances in prices that, may occur between harvest and harvest. The Record re., that this discussion has been started, of it can come good results.

Robinson. ; Third ViVe-President, J. S. Wake Forest; J. C. Stewart, ; First Assistant Secretary, J. Norman Wills, Greensboro ; Sec- Assistant Secretary, Jas. D. Swinson, Mt. Olive. Durham was chosen as the place for holding the next session of the convention. Last Friday the Board of tees of the projected Baptist Fe- male University held a meeting at Wake Forest to decide whether or not their former action in selecting Raleigh as the place to locate the school should be reconsidered. After a full discussion and consideration the Board de- not to reconsider its former decision. There were sixteen members of the Board present and the best of feeling prevailed. All the Trustees present expressed a determination to join in to make the University a success. Work on the buildings will probably begin during the coming summer. At this meeting Durham's proposition as original- made was brought before the Board and after a long discussion the following resolution was without a dissenting vote Mortgages In Pitt County. Mr. C. W. Smith, a native of Johnston county, who has a gov- position in the indebted- recording department, at Washington, is now in Greenville examining the records in the Reg- of Deeds office to ascertain the mortgage indebtedness of Pitt Co. tor the past ten years. The gathered are to be publish- ed in the census report to be is- sued this year. We interviewed Mr. Smith yesterday, and asKed how he was finding the records of this county to show up. He said it would be impossible for him to tell what the indebtedness of the county is, as he sends in a daily record of his work to Washington and the compilations are all made there. He says that while he finds the number of real estate gages in Pitt to be quite large, the amounts in most cases are small. He thinks the general showing of county will be good. He found the records here better kept than in any in the State he has jet visited. One matter to which he our attention, and said the people ought to be of the fact and the habit is the frequent negligence the part of mortgagors in not a mortgage when it is settled. He the Register informed him that as many as half of the gages paid in the county were left Of course the rec- do not show this, and as he has to be governed entirely by the records as he finds them, the in- of the county will pear larger than it really is be- cause of this failure to cancel many mortgages. This statement of the Register was a surprise to us, not because we did not know that mortgages sometimes went but because it shows such a negligent slackness in doing business on the part of those persons holding and giving gages. The of -a mortgage should be a matter of business as well as the registering of it, and it is not following the line of strict business to leave them It not only shows u bad for the county, but this negligence may eventually bring; trouble and cause loss to parties interested. The hopes there will be a speedy reformation along this line. Mr. Smith has promised to give us what information he can the work in this county is completed. It will take him until about the first of April to get through. being very few. They are nearly all agreed that the exodus has had little or no effect upon for the next crop; that those already gone can hardly be missed and there is still plenty of in the Eastern counties; that should the exodus stop now it would be beneficial all around; that politically it will help the Democratic party; and that the permanent effect will be for the best.

The questions were five in number and were as of The Mississippi river has recent- been on a disastrous overflow and has wrought much damage along its course. M. A. Dauphin, the President of Lot- tery Co., sent Governor Nichols of that State, a check for to be used for the purpose of check- the flood, but the Governor, concluding that it would not he prudent to place the State under obligations to the Lottery, politely returned the check to the sender. We take this as a strong indication that the Lottery get no further recognition in that State, and its efforts to get a foot hold in the new State of Dakota having proved a failure it looks like the Lottery must go. Upon the question of the Governor declining to accept the proffered check the ans papers have not had a great deal to say, and this leads an ably- edited paper over in Mississippi to thrust a thorn at them.

He said a protective tariff is a and not a blessing. ha continued, the United States do not receive on an average more than ten cents a bushel for their corn, fifty cents for their wheat and from to three cm a pound for their hogs. The time will come, at no far distant day, when the farmer will look upon the proposition to tax him sad his wile and children for the protection and benefit of other people he would look upon a law of Congress to establish the army worm and weevil on his wheat, or hi infect bis cattle with murrain and bis hogs with cholera.

He went to his farm after load of fodder and threw his coat on top of the load when start- back home. On the way the coat fell off the load and he went a mil or two before it.
