POPULIST CONVENTION. hte Delegates Selected —SkinnerEndorsed for Congrass and Moye for Secre- tary of State, The Populists keld a county con- vention here Saturday for the purpose of selecting delegates to the State and. Congressional conventions. The at- tendance was tar smaller than has been noticed at past Populist conventions, the number taking part in the meeting The convention was called to order by Harry Skinner, chairman of the executive committee, in a half hour’s speech. He made rather a guarded speech, seeming somewhat at sea as to the campaign. However, he did say that the people were desperate, and woe bs to the man or party that came in the way of the accomplishment of their demands. He also told the col- ored people that no offices would be given to them and they need not expect any. The conveation organized by electing eecretary. A recess was taken for th2 atten. dants trom the different townships to confer together and seiect delegates to the State and Conzressional conven- tions.

Harry Skinner stated that he no- ticed that no names of alternates had been reported, and he would therefore move that any Populist in the county who desired to attend the State or Congressional convention, should upon, L H Cox’ Edward Stokes, L B Burney, leertificate from the chairman of the executive coimittee and the chairman of this convention that i.e is a Populist in good standing, be entitled to act as an alternate to said conventions. The following resolution was offered and adopted : Be it resolved by the Populists of Pitt county in convention assembled in Greenville, on first day of August, 1896: 1. That we endorse and ratify the action of and platform adogted by the National Populist convention — lately held in the city of St. Louis. 2. That we endorse the action of Hon. Harry Skinner, our representative in the 54th Congress, and the delegates from this eonvention to the Populist Congressional Convention are instructs ed to vote asa unit for his renomina- tion. | 3. That we endorse Hon. E. A. Moye for the Populist nomination of Secretary of State and instruct the ‘delegates from this county to the State Conventiun to vote as a unit for him so long as hir name shall be before said convention tor said nomination. A. J. Moye, of Farmville township spoke upon the adoption of the resolu- tin. against Bryan was that he wes a nom’. nee of the Democratic party. ‘That he told the Democrats. in his township before the Chicago convention that they ought to nominate him but he had no idea tdey would do so. Tle adrisea the hearty support of the ticket saying that Populist could not afford, atter He said the only thing he knew criticizing others for their party preju- dices, to allow any such feeling to keen them from doing all they could to elecé /Mr. Bryan. - At the conclusion of his speech Col. Skinner announced that the Populist county convention to nominate county officers would be held here on the 3rd d::y of September. Thursday, Sept. 3rd, was selected as the date for holding the convention to nominate county officers, with primaries to be held Saturday, Aug. 29th. The convention then adjourned.

The people of the city of Durham, and the people of the county of Dar- ham are one people. What effect the interests of one is bound to effect the interests ot the other. The town peo- pie should, and do, feel the deepest in- terest in the success and welfare.ot the count-y pecple. The country people shonld take a fpride in seeing Durham grow along all material lines, and thus give them a iarge centre for trade and information. Writing on this line the Newbern Journal notes what is more or less the It says that feeling among farmers that case in every county. there is a the town-people think themselves a little better than the country people, and their welcome in the town is of a perfunctory, busiaess—like character, in- stead of a sincere nature, as it should be. It must be regretted that there should be any feeling of this kind for the commercial interests of town and country are too closely united, their so- cial interests are too nearly identical, to warrant that any sentiment ot differ- ence of equality of any nature should exist between them. What is really needed is that a closer 3 iy 51 ha ommied should be formed between rs "the farmer and town merchant.

The prosperity of » town depends | upon the success of its merchants in se- curing the country trade, and te secure this trade the merchant ought to be es pecially soiclitous, making of thé far— mers not merely a chance business acquaintance, but a close friend, by taking a personal interest in his affairs. It will be a good business policy to cultivate this greater commingling of town and country interests and one which will prove beneficial in more ways tnan in mere dollars and cents. The Sun would 'suggest that we of Durham, this fall, say about the miadle of September, inaugurate something like a free dinner, or barbecue, one every two weeks, or oftener if necessa— ry, and to this “set up’ invite the far- mers of this and the surronnding coun- ties.

There is scarce. ly a vessel afloat, from one of our line of*battle ships down to a canal- boat, that has not a twoor four foot- | ed pet on board. Sailors proverbially make pets of almost any animal they are shipmates with—elephants, bears, sheep, goats, monkeys, ga- zelles and raccoons among the mam- malia, bantam cocks, parrots, cock- atoos, magpies and sea gulls among bipeds, and even inhabitants of the ocean, such as seals and turtle, have been laid under contribution to pro- vide amusement for our bluejackets!

It was a magnificent animal, and for many years after- ward was exhibited at the zoological gardens. One morning, about 5:30, the captain Was awakened by a mes- senger, who said, ‘‘Please sir, the was, ‘‘Lock my cabin door, and call me when be’s in his cage again.” It lappears that in cleaning the cage, the men being thes washing decks, the door of the cage had been un- fastened and the beast had escaped, causing a regular stampede, the bluejackets forward running up the rigging and tho soldiers taking to the hammock nettings and the hurri- cane deck. The tiger ran aft; the men had not heard of its escape and about. The scene appeared to puzzle the tiger. At any rato,an old quarter- waster realized the situation, and taking his lantern flashed it full in cho face of the tiger. He then took she animal by the scruff of the neck, van it forward to its cage and slam- Here is another anecdote of a real pot, this time in the same ship. There are several officers now alive who can vouch for the truth of this story. The first lieutenant had a very jolly little monkey, quite 4 general favorite. One evening, just before dinner, on a guest night, the ship being in harbor, the first lieu- tenant went into his cabin with the monkey, and, opening a box of very choice Havana cigars rather hastily, by accident smashed two of them— the parts of which he threw over- board out of his cabin port. Then, filling his cigar caso, as dinner was already on the table, he left the box en the table and hurried to mess. It had been the custom for his monkey to follow him and wait by the table for a morsel of food now and again. This evening, after some little time had elapsed, and the monkey did not appear, his owner, excusing himself for a minute, ran back to his cabin to see what his pet was doing, knowing besides, having a strong imitative trait of character, it was generally up tosome mischief or other. Alas, he was too late! The monkey had only too well imitated his master, for as the first lieutenant entered the cabin, he was just in time to see the Jast,of his cherished weeds taken out of the box and thrown out of the port overboard. Bitter Jerrold, Among the sayings attributed to Douglas Jerrold is a very bitter one he applied to Mark Lemon, then edi. tor of Punch. Lemon was deeply at- tached to rp ee ng regen it in a yery open fashion, which perhaps pr te & the greatgatirist’s jealousy. At all events, as Jerrold was walk., ing out one day with Lemon and an- ether friend, and Dickens with sev- eral more behind them, Lemon sud- go dropped away and turned back, “What has become of Punch?"’ }asked Jerrold’s companion. ‘Did J: | you not hear Dickots whistle?” Tebinus Le Thooynioal reply. "Dickens pays the dog tax for Lemon." Whi I, tiger has broken loose!” His reply | med and fastened the door ina jiffy. | | KINDS OF COMMEKCIAL AND TOBACCO WAREHOUSE WORK. 18; ALONE?
