The necessity for thorough orga

never greater than now. The rec
electien shows that non-producers

villages voted nearly solid while

very much divided, the "make i

of a want of organization among

WHY INDIA BUYS SILVER.
Natives Still Ignorant That the (\
Mints Have Been Closed.
ng The London Times iiublishes
el si letter from an occasional correspondent
who asserts that India p
^ is still an extensive purchaser ot c?
silver because ninety-nine out ol li
ou one hundred natives are ignorant w
ui- of the fact that the mints are vi
closed. They believe they can ^
exchange their ornaments for X
l K
; rupees at any moment. When the* |j
truth becomes generally known
,no!it will be a grievous cause for
N disull'cctioti. The conepondent.
>NV adds : ti
|I)S 1 . '
"1 he great dearth of rupees in ,' '
' i India suggests the advisability ol j
| re-opening the mints and raising j'^
; I he import duty on silver in order] a
to make the value of silver equiv- l!
alent to the value of the rupee.'' j]
jig As to Wagon Tires. <
uu Some valuable experiments <]
1,1 with the draft of wule and narrow- <
?pe . '
pj. tired wagons have been made by .
>td the officers of the agricultural ex I
an periment station at Columbia, j
e.v Mo. Contrary to public electa,m
tion, it was established that in <;
nearly all eases the draft was ma V
terialiy lighter when tires six I
1 ^ inches wide were used than with \
j.v tires ot standard width. This is J
- it ; thought to remove the last oh- >
lay .jeetioii to the gradual adoption of N
hd t|K. broad wheel, as its efleet in ^
100 making, rather than in breaking, j
1 ro
roads has been thoroughly ap ^
preciated. On a macadam street s
! the same draft required to haul a ^
ton load with narrow tires hauled ^
more than a ton and a quarter
".j~ with the broad tired.
,>nt ( hi gravel roads the the draft reare
a
nut quired to haul 2,000 pounds with
narrow tires hauled 2.010 pounds ^
vhs on the broad tires. (>u dirt roads,
|.V-t dry and hard and free from ruts,
' ^ the broad tires pulled more than j.
rs. one-third lighter. On mud roads,
spongy on the surface and soft underneath.
the broad tires drew
iw- one-half lighter than the narrow *'
JJlJ tires. On the same road, when v
to soft and sticky on top and firm a
underneath, the narrow tires q
" pulled materiall lightei. the dif- ^
fin ' fereneo amounting to an average
^ i of one third. When this had been
j?? j wet to a great depth by continued ft
f"- rains, and the mud bad become u
n,~ still ami stickev, so that it would <i

m1 J only conditions of tlu? dirt road M
'r* in which tho narrow tires showed l?
or , ,i
i,,. to advantage. t >n meadows and \,
>?** pastures the results have heen j.
'j.ir strikingly in favor of the hroad ^
an j wheels. When tin- meadows are ,

I 1 " 1
?ru wheels with the same draft as t hat hi

"> - The beneficial e fleet ol the wide
tire mi dirt roads was also strik t<
..y I injrly shown in the tests. A clay [ n
l!|-! road, badly cut into ruts by tlielw
,.IJ narrow tires, was selected the'ol
n test, as presenting conditions least ' In
,afJ favorable to the hroad tire. A In
n,l number of test- of the draft ofc

Dallas, Tex., Aug. '20.?The

yesterday and did not
djourn until very late last night,
lie sessions were behind closed
oors. The national and state
odies have been at loggerheads

surpation of power 1?y imposion
of dues on female and the
handonment of the iniative and

This leporter leit town Sep mber
'2nd at I o'clock p. m. en
into for Ilopew<dl. in company
ith Mr. \\\ <i. A. I'orter, one
f the Alliance grand cyclops,
mding safely at the latter"s home
elbre night. 'Took a stroll that
veiling, viewing sonic of his well
illivated and abundantly pro
fie crops, lieing hospitably en
rtainou that night by the afore
iid and his family, we were up
irly on the morning of the did
ud oil' for the picnic ground, at
I one well church, on the < 'heater
cM road s miles east of Lancas
?r court house, where there* js an
seellenf ami commodious church,
large and well arranged school
wise. with an Alliano hall on
ie second tloor. Dixie po-tollice
also at this place, and a very
ice thing in the way of a mill
nd ginning apparatus, operated
y Messrs. Langley 'orter. '
After passing through and by
some fine farming lands, with
good crops thereon, belonging tc
.1. Harvey Flynn, Captain T. R
Langley, post mast%r Kiddle and
others, we landed upon the scent
about 11:30 a. in., being pleasantly
entertained by numerous friends
The committee were at work putting
things in order and the peo
plo were continuously pouring ii
on vehicles ranging from a twf
horse wagon to a road cart al
well loaded with people from the
age of Rev. 1\ M. Fly lor, o
j Tradosville down to that of mane
peacable inlants. In the mean
| time our friend Mr. R. Small
i drove up a hack with his family
twelve in number, comfortably
| seated therein.
We noticed in tho vehicle:
: trunk -, baskets, boxes etc., lilhs
| with many good things for tin
inner man. Taking this, alotif,
with the pleasant smile upon tin
i face of every body, satisfied youi
nutnoic servant that there wa>
happiness of a multit udinon:
quantity on hand for the day
During this time there was a mini
her of beautiful and sweet younj
ladies, accompanied by a like
numberof handsome young men
had assembled in the eliurcl
around the organ and were dis
coursing some very tine music
much to the enjoyment of tin
whole crowd. At this juncture
the expected speakers not having
arrived, some little uneasinest
j was felt that that part of the pro
gram might not come up to ex
I pectations. But upon the arriva
of the llon.d. Mat I lough of ( lies
terlield and Hon. .1. C. Willmrr
of York, president of the Stab
Alliance, those tears were dis
polled. The hour having arrivet
and the aforementioned speaker
and about live hundred peopls
present.
The crowd was called to orde
by Mr. W. (J. A. Porter at J 0:TC
and the program announced
Braver was ofl'ered by our wortlr
chaplain, Mr. T. S. Kiddle, wliei
brother Porter introduced Mr

i ancemen and the people gener
I ally good and wholesome iustruc
tions upon their duties to them

fellowmen. Twelve o'clock hav
ing arrived it was announced tha
the speaking would cease unti
after dinner, whereupon the com
mil tee to receive supplies and
arrange the dinner was called to
get her, taking matters iti hand
spreading table cloths upon tlx
ground a distance of about tw<
imnureu ii'ct through the grovt
and placing thereupon as l?oun

as this correspondent ever wit
iiossed. Kvervbody there hat

j ter invoking Divine blessings, tin
| crowd leisurely and heartily par
took of the rich viands befort
them. A goodlv number, one o
[which was this writer, did ful
[justice to the occasion. After tin
live hundred present had eatei
tln*re was plenty left to hav?
fed live liundred more, which wa
[ taken up and replaced into flu
receptacles from which it hat
heen taken, and after a few mo
' ii 11*111s of pleasant inter minglinj
and more sweet music by tin
young ladies and gentlemen tin
crowd was again called to ordei
| at the speaker's stand. All l?ein<
ipiiet the Hon..I. Mat Hough was
introduced as next speaker. ('ap
tain Hough spoke with his mouf.l
open, speaking from heart as ht
had not had time to prepare a se
speech, dealing with National

oratical display, hut tfor dishing
out rich food for thought In
which any one in his atidicnc<
can be benefited by meditating
upon them. .Mr. Hough gave
convincing proofs that farming
was the main driving wheel of ^
i the world, and that it was least
i respected l>y the law matters of
. our nation, and that we would
1' only get proper respect hy looking
after ourselves He spoke for
^.ii hour and was given marked 4
. attention hy the audience.
After Mr. Houglds speech Mr.
Ira Caldwell of Mecklenburg, N.
t C., was introduced and delivered a
> short speech on education, which
1 was relished by the crowd.
? The audience was then dismiss- t
I ed to ramble about the grounds
and converse at leisure showing
; in each face a gleam of enjoyI
j men! silently saying. "I am glad
, | I came".
The county was represented hy
: people from the Catawba to
, j hynch's lliverand from Kershaw
1 to the X. C. line. The success
. of'this day shows thai Hopewell
