C, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1886. : NO 75 V NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES. News, Views and North Carolina Personals. Staff Correspondence of the Messenger. - Washington, July 5. E. R. True, assistant, has been promoted to be Cashier of the Treasury; James F. Me line,, frbm chief clerk to be assistant Cashier, and D. A. Ritterfrau, an eighteen hundred dollar clerk, to be chief clerk. , Gen. Wheeler has received a letter from Gen. Porter in which he says : "My Dear General You gave me the first announcement of the second step in the grand victory and gave me a thrill of joy which I at once spread to my scattered family. I hope the giver is happier than the receiver, for if so you are blessed indeed. As you are indeed. This victory is more trying than my disgrace in 1863. I am over come with joy." . : v It will be remembered that I fore shadowed the probability of a veto of the River and Harbor bill some weeks , ap"0, on its passage through the House. The Star of yesterday said: "It is probabje that the President will not be given an opportunity to veto the River and Harbor bill. The members of the House committee, being assured that he would be apt to disapprove it, are determined not to agree to the Senate amendments, particularly that which provides for the Hennepin canal." On investigation I learn these facts: Messrs. Willis and Blanchard say that the report in the Star is incor rect, that there has been no determi nation not to agree for any such rea- sons to Senate amendments, and that they do not fear the Executive veto. They further say there is no prospect for a reduction of the amount. On the other hand, I am assured from a high source that the President does not like the "bill as it stands, and that if not materially reduced he will prob ably veto it. Of course this informa tion may not be absolutely correct, or the Executive may change his mind. The President approved the Consu lar and Diplomatic bill on Thursday. He vetoed another private pension bill Friday, and still another to-day. The first comptroller has decided that laborers in the Executive depart ments who are required to work more than eight hours a day are entitled to extra compensation unless they have made a contract to the contrary. Besides the fifty-odd dismissals from the Treasury Department on the 1st several employees of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing were dis charged, and there were some scatter ing. removals from other offices. These were mainly on account of lack of work. A number of promotions have occurred under Civil Service rules in the Treasury Department and General Land Office. Nine of 148 pension ex aminers were not re-appointed. Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Vilas and Cap tain Eads were in the Executive gal leries of the House and Senate this afternoon. The young bride is tall, beautiful and talkative. She wore a light colored some said pink dress with black around the throat and a white feather in her hat and carried a red fan which she plied vigorously as she conversed animatedly with her companies. NORTH CAROLINA PERSONALS. Mr. Reid is absent. Col. Green returned from Judge Da vis' funeral last night. Gen. Ransom's health has been nearly restored. Judge Bennett showed attention to some visitors in the members gallery to-day. Dr. W. H. Wheeler is still here, as is Capt. Butts Everett. State Senator King, of Guilford, is in the city. He will probably receive Si government appointments Mr. Henry Cowan is one of the re cent visitors. . Prof. John C. Calhoun, of the Uni versity of Alabama, formerly principal . of the Cape Fear Academy, Wilming ton, arrived here last night and was at the capitol this afternoon. My tal ented friend was looking well and wholly unchanged from '76. He spoke " V pleasantly of his North Carolina .friends and hoped to see some of them ater in his vacation. . Prof. Calhoun was on his way to New York, to Am herst College and possibly to Harvard University, Massachusetts. He will endeavor to stop on his return in Vir ginia and North Carolina, The son of one of the great Calhoun's ablest nephews, himself finely accomplished and taking high work among the young scholars of the South, John C. Calhoun is one of the most unaffected of men and also one of the most ami able. C. W. H. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. Industrial Development ot the South. Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, July 3. The past two weeks have witnessed the organization of enterprises that are destined to have a far-reaching in fluence upon the future of tha South. Two enterprises, for which the pre liminary arrangements have been con summated during that period, claim pre-eminence in importance over any thing that has been reported in the South for a long time. One is the es tablishment by the Roane Iron Co. of Bessemer steel works at Chattanooga to turn out 150 tons of rails a day, the vast importance of which to the indus trial interests of the South can hardly be overestimated; the other is the sign ing of a contract by Enoch Ensley, the president of the Pratt Coal & Iron Co., and other leading; iron men, to complete the Birmingham & Sheffield Railroad and to build a 100-ton fur nace at the latter place. The build ing of this road will result in a great development of almost unlimited coal and iron resources as yet practically untouched. The work of Mr: Ensley and his associates will probably fully equal in importance the establishment of steel works at Chattanooga. u In ad dition to these two great undertakings, there have been a large number of other enterprises organized that will largely add to. the" prosperity " of the South. At' Newport Newsi. Va., the tide-water terminus of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, arrangements have been completed for the, construction of a dry dock that will involve the ex penditure of probably $500,000, and may result in the establishment there of an immense iron ship building yard. A. $100,000 company has .been organized at Calera, Ala., to build an iron furnace and charcoal works. At Chattanooga the Lookout Rolling Mill will invest $35,000 m buildingvrrought iron pipe works, which will be tbelonly establishment of the kind in the South. Among other important enterprises reported in our' Construction Depart ment during the two -weeks under re view, there were in Alabama a knit ting factory, three large saw mills, a cotton -compress, a cheese factory and cokeworks; in Arkansas, a $20,000 lumber mill company a $10,000 stave factory, two smelters, one of 50 tons capacity, a large gold . mining com pany, a water works company, a fur niture factory, a saw mill, a planing mill and a cooperage factory; in Flor ida, a canning factory, a $100,000 gas and electric light company, two saw mills, a planing mill and brick works; in Georgia, a paper mill, extensive improvements to a cotton mill, a grist mill, a shingle mill, stave mill and saw mill j in Kentucky, coke works, a $50, 000 coal mining company, a $10,000 tobacco iactory, and $50,000 put into new stone quarries; in Louisiana, a $50,000 mining company and a rice mill; in Mississippi. $75,000 water works and brick works; in North Car olina, a shoe factory, cotton mill, grist mill and a $10,000 furniture factory; in South Carolina, $20,000 improve ments made to one cotton mill, and about the same or more to another, $30,000 to $40,000 in fertilizer works, a furniture factory, two flour mills, and the rebuilding of a sash and door factory and turpentine distilleries; in Tennessee, a marble quarrying com pany, a dynamite factory, an ice fac tory, a large broom factory, a cotton batting mill, a flour mill, and several saw mills; in Texas, a $100,000 oil and cotton company, a $150,000 flour mill and elevator, a compress, a water pipe foundry, and two water works com panies; in Virginia, a stone quarry, a gold mine, and the rebuilding of two mills; and in West Virginia, a $5,000 saw mill, $12,000 gas works and coke works, and a $1,000,000 company whicH will probably build a cotton gin factory either in Atlanta or Chatta nooga. As a summary of what has been reported during the last two weeks, this statement shows that the industrial development of the South is little less than marvellous. MOUNT OLIVE SPLINTERS. Gathered hy Our Regular porter. Ke- We registered last Thursday a rainy day, and still it rains. We have had a great deal of rain'the last week and fear the crops are greatly injured thereby. Previous to the recent wet spell the crops in this section bid fair to yield abundantly. Our town authorities have placed two force pumps on Railroad street, which they claim will assist in pre venting the destruction of property should we have a fire. They have also purchased 100 feet of hose. Perhaps you will sympathize with us when we tell you that we do busi ness in a "wood range" of 15 buildings and have to pay per cent, insurance. The R. R. authorities have very greatly improved the appearance of the ware house and wood house by the application of paint. Dr. Millard, who lectured in Goldsboro recently, lec tured In our academy last Friday and Monday nights. He also preached two excellent sermons in the Presby terian church last Sunday. Dr. XJ. W. Lewis, of Nash county, a young M. D., has located with us to administer to the necessities of the af flicted. We would like to state in this connection that Mr. J. E. Stanly, of Goldsboro, has established a coffin house here and we have been teasing the new doctor by telling him that Mr. S. thought one coffin dealer (Mr. Rob ert Kornegay) not able to supply the demands of a community that could support three physicians. Rogues entered Hatch Bros' store last Thursday night and took there from goods to the amount of about $14. No clue to their indentity. The wood train in "trying to "back off" the side track lastTriday morn ing tacked off in reality and came near getting into the ditch. No ser ious damage. Messrs. M. B. Farmer and David Thompson have invented a "Runner clipper' a machine for clipping run ners from strawberry vines. It appears to be quite a complete machine and they claim that it will do the work perfect ly. They have applied for a patent. We heard one of our pretty ladies say that "the Messenger was the best paper in te world" and that she "ex- Sected to read it as long as she lived." 'ow Mr. Editor she didn't think that remark might find its way into the "Splinters," but we couldn't think of keeping it from you. Miss Eliza Chesnutt, of Sampson, and Misses Clara Shine and Lucy Far rior, of Duplin, have made recent visits to our little town. , If that R. R. fellow don't quit com ing up here we expect to have to re port a some of these days. Well folks will get married. Mr. Ed. Smith has returned again from Fla. A colored gent in speaking to us recently about the death of his minis ter's wife said "she died of a ingestus chill." - Some time aero a colored individual Simon by name, who had been accused or DreaKing into a neignoors corn cnu i ' a. 3 J 4.nVAM V A T T Waa arrtJSLcu. auu w&cu uciuio a u . x who duriner the examination asked Simon if he had access to the bam, and Simon thinking the J P. was al lndlnr to his axe said rno boss.

It is fair to assume that the men who are to compose the Congressional convention of this district, to meet at Clinton on the 13th of August, will be representative Democrats of the sev eral counties of the district, andwe are prepared to , endorse their action heartily, and to put forth every effort in our power to advance the election of their nominee. "" But we do not deem that weare .es topped fronra fair expression bf-opin ion at the present time. Tft no preju dice of other possible aspirants for the position, we shall heartily rejoice at the renomination of the present Con gressional Representative. We do not claim for him infallibility in his polit ical career, but he stands squarely and aggressively in the front rank of his party upon all the important ques tions which make up its living princi ples: the Blair bill (in which he is in accord with a large majority of his constituents, although we are diame trically opposed o him), the so-called Civil Service Reform and all the is sues growing out'of the great problem of tariff revision. It ability, painstak ing care and watchfulness in the ser vice of his people constitute claims upon the support and confidence of his fellow-citizens, he possesses those claims in generous measure. We are too good Democrats to tol erate for a moment the idea that any office should be held without limit by any one man or set of men; but we are too good citizens to insist on speedy rotation at the expense of -the public welfare. Col. Wharton J. Green was a useful member of Congress through out his first term, he has been a still more useful and influential member during his second term, and we may reasonably expect his public services to be of enhanced importance for the two years to come. A short time since the Charlotte Observer, classifying pub lic men by vocation, published Col. Green as a lawyer. Why a member of that profession could not in the na ture of things acceptably fill any posi tion, from that of President down, we are at loss to understand; but, in point of fact, Col. Green is a tiller of the soil, an extensive viticulturist, fruit grower and manufacturer of wine, and his whole life shows him to be a strong advocate of everything tending to the advancement of the agricultural inter ests of the country. We believe that it will be neither sound policy, expediency nor justice to withhold the nomination next month from the present incumbent. This mav be all we have to sav until the Convention shall have spoken. LAGRANGE ITEMS. Farmers becrin to look anxious at the wet weather. Mr. H. M. McDonald is adding more room to his drug store. We miss the pen of our erst Kinston contributor nust more and more. Mr. Geo. L. Taylor was up to your city last week. Mr. John Fields, Sr., who we re ported in a very unfavorable condition last week, is improving. We heard one of our townsmen re mark the other day, that whenever he called at a certain nouse wnose in mates are proverbial for loquacity he waercred his head 'till his neck was tired, then he made his exit. Talk about being kicked to death by grass hoppers after this. Mr. John V. JVlewborn, oi Kinston, was in town last weeK. lr iur. iview born is a politician we would like to know it.

Editor Messenger In the. eventful history of every man's career, there is a i l 'i ni" I a time when the crowning point of his existence seems to be reached.

The silver canopy of heaven looked like inspiration it self. Nature was clothed in the green garb of dawning summer. The shady recesses of forest and dell re-echoed with the charming twitter of sparrow and wren. Every nook and corner of the "Old North State" seemed to send forth the glad tidings of Hymeneal love, as a select crowd of ladies and gentlemen assembled at Mr. J. M. Wood's mill to realize the unmingled pleasure1 of a first class pic-nic. The managers of the occasion were Messrs. H. W. Best, Benajah Herring, J. C. Barden and Rev. J. G. Johnson. These gentlemen, who are prominent char- acters in their community, deserve much credit for the manifest profici- ency which they displayed as pic-nic inausrurals. But, Mr. Editor, I must hasten to the grand limayf my .-subject. I can say, without prevarica tion too, that it was the happiest crowd 1 ever saw assembled at a pic nic. mere were present some or tne mi A A A brightest lewe.s of Wayne and Lenoir counties, and Goldsboro was represen- ted by a few of her fairest specimens of sweet eighteen. As I stood, with reverential awe, amidst such a vast concourse of beau tv, those immortal words of the poet, "In the Spring a young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love," came stealing back unto my soul, and were re-written upon the gilded tablet of my memory never to be forgotten, The almost angel tread of Cupid could be heard as "Old Sol" wended his ethereal course towards the west, and left . the world wrapped in the cool shades of approaching twilight. Ev ery young man's heart palpitated with the inexpressible emotions of love as he gently wooed the golden apple of his existence, and received in re- turn the gladdening hopes or recipro- cated affection. This joyous monotony was soon broken. Every one went to his or her home. The glorious galaxy of North Carolinian beautv, which had been the focalizing charm of the occasion, was disintegrated. The writer then concluded that the beauty of North Carolina found its only par allel amid the angelic hosts of God. B. DOES PROHIBITION IN CLUDE WINE AND BEER?

A large number or saloon keep ers have shut their doors and given up the business, while others have taken down ineir liquor signs and nave es- tablisned cigar shops. As the law of the United States, protects the impor- ration or, liquors,, many people or means nave - nliea , their cellars, but they cannot sell it to others.

During the voting all business was suspended. The town of Crystal Springs gave 289 meetings." The people now claim that the money formerly spent for rum will go to establish schools.

All wholesale and re- tail licenses expired at 12 o'clock last nierht. and over 100 places where li quor of all kinds and degrees has been heretofore freely sold are closed. The sale of liquor in jugs and demijohns vesterday and last night was enor mous, many prominent temperance families laying in large supplies for alleged medicinal purposes.

At a convention of the State Liquor Dealers' Associa tion in this citv last evening the fol- lowing resolution was adopted : "That the constitution of the United States and of this State recognizes the liquor business as a legitimate and pre per one, and that it should be treat ed before the law as fairly as any oth- er reputable business; we therefore protest against the practise of a few Prohibition Anarchists' in prosecut ing reputable citizens engaged in the liquor business for technical violations of the letter but not the spirit of the law." President Walker of the State Asso- ciationlspoke of the deplorable state of affairs in Iowa, the close prohibi tion vote in the New York legislature and the prohibition convention lately held at Springfield, which he charac terized as the most enthusiastic and confident convention ever held in Illi nois.

THE BAGWELL CASE. Letter From the Elder. Presiding (Winston Twin City Daily.) Mr. Editor: I see from your issue of o-day that you propose to give to the Sublic the evidence in the case of Rev. . T. Bagwell. This you cannot do. for the evidence is in my possession for aL A . 0 A 1 11 A A tne oenent oi tne committee or trial, at the next session of the North Caro- ina Conference. No one will be al owed to publish from the records in my possession, and information from any other source must of necessity do harm, by virtue of the imperfect state ment of the case. A committee of nine Elders, after two days prayerful "in vestigation" of all the reports before them, unanimously decided that Rev. J. T. Bagwell was guilty of immoral ity, and he has been suspended until tne next cession or tne jn . u. uonter ence, when the case will be regularly tried. I fail to see how benefit is to community, the church of God or Dr. Bagwell by publishing anything ex cept the finding of the committee as above. Respectfullv, . J. A. CUNNINGGIM. IMPORTANT PETITION. Washington, July 3. Petitions with over 50,000 signatures were re ceived in this city to-day at the head quarters of the National. Legislative Committee of the Kn.ghts of Labor, 20o Pennsylvania avenue. It is esti mated by Mr. Roth Beaumont, chair man of the committee, that petitions with one million signatures will reach the committee to be presented to Con crress duriner the next ten davs. The Knights of Labor demand in thSir pe tition the forfeiture of all unclaimed land grants, the passage of the alien land bill, the Oklahoma bill, the bil for the adjustment of railroad grants, the bill to open the great Sioux reser vation and a bill to pay at the Treas ury the surplus. The committee have asked Messrs, Carlisle, Morrison and rtandail the Jjemocratic caucas com mittee, to bring these measures up for action at this session as demanded in the petition, and it is understood that the Knights of Labor propose to hold the majority of Congress responsible for the fate of the legislative meas ures. SEVEN SPRINGS. Closing Exercise of School. Mrs. Davis Correspondence Goldsboro Me6senger.l I had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of Mrs. Davis' school at Seven Springs, on the 50th day or June, and taken ail m all it was one of the most enjoyable occasions of the kind I have ever attended. At 11 o'clock the orator of the day, W. G. Burkhead, Esq., of Goldsboro, was in troduced to the large and intelligent audience that had assembled in the beautiful grove near the Springs, in a few remarks by the writer, and deliv ered one of the most eloquent, practi cable and sensible speeches I have listened to in many a day. At the close of the speech Prof. Morgan, of La Grange, in a very handsome style on oenait or tne principal and stu dents presented to Mr. Burkhead a beautiful bouquet. In a short time the crowd was invited to a bountiful and elegant dinner and after all had satisfied the inner man there was enough left to have Jeed another con siderable crowd. At 8 o'clock the larere and commodious Presbyterian Church was filled to overflowing with an appreciative audience to listen to S J 1 a tne dialogues and speecnes oi me scholars and to say that all acted their parts admirably is but expressing the unanimous sentiment or tne enure audience. Not a single mistake or blunder occurred during the entire evening. The community around Seven Springs certainly have cause to be proud of the principal of their school and she has cause to be proud of her pupils and I predict that the next session will be the 'most prosper ous it has ever enioyed.
