You can't afford not to read the IsuWri-.tion ADVANCE. -.() a :ii Prnin Sep'r Ioth' ,S9' II Will to April 30th. 1891, over (2,000,000) two million pounds of tobacco were sold on Wilson's Warenousc flo' That's the record f our first year. Next year we confident ly expect to sell four times that amount. There is no better town in the State in wljiich to locate and make your home. Wilson is destined to be the leading: tobacco market of Eastern North Carolina, Now is the time to come in and swim up on the .flood-tide to pros perity. to on: sriiseitn;j:K We have something to SETy tnis morning to you. There arc on the Advance subscription books ihany names of people who owe tor the paper. The amount varies. We are too busy to send out a statement ofeaoh one's dues to-day. Twice last fall, to the certain knowledge of the present editor, this was done. In the last few weeks there have been some improvements made in the paper. More may be confident ly expected. Advance reader must have the best that is going. This has all cost money. But tliafes the business of the editor. He docs not beg you to come to his rescue. That is unnecessary. He is not in the begging business just yet, and he hopes never to be. But he hopes and expects that if you owe for Iris paper you will settle. That's busi ness, and justice, and right, Y u can pay or let it alone,- of course. He does not propose to force any man to pay. That he needs money goes without question. There is no editor in North Carolina vvho does not. We only need the money due for subscription. With this state ment we trust every man will settle at once. If not the entire amount, at least a part of it. Any amount will be cheerfully receipted for. Of course nothing in the above appli s to paid-up subscribers. They can skip this. It is not for them. There are a number of names on our books that will be marked off June 1st, or soon after, if nothing is heard from them by that time. Per haps two hundred new subscribers have been put on the Advance since the 22nd day of January, least that many will be cut off if they do not settle, or write us explaining why they do not. If you are receiving the Advance and do not want it, write to us saying so and your paper will be stopped. Don't wait tcrpay up if you can't do it. We want to-please y 01 fend will do anything in reason to do so. We are continually sending out sample copies. They are enclosed in wrappers upon which "Sample Copy" is printed in red ink. Take it and read it. It cost's you "nothing, and you are heartily welcome. You are cordially invited to 'become a regular subscriber. And that's all, for this time. . TI1K SPEAKERSHIP vr A K 1 That is a fine rtrttcle- we conclude this week from last -issue, "Speaker ship Stakes." Mr. Cummings, the writer, is a Congressman from New York elected to fill the place vacated by the death of "Sunset" Cox. It is admirably written and is good read ing. By-the-way, the Speakership ques tion is a difficult problem toi solve at this time. Speaking with Hon. B: H. Bunn, week before last, he ex pressed the opinion that it -would be unwise and imprudent to elect Roger Q.Mills. He is too fiery and hot headed Judge Crisp would make a splendid presiding officer, said he, and so would Benton McMillin, of Tennessee. Capt. Bunn was special ly loud in his praise of McMillin. He is one of the ablest men in the House. In response to a question as to whether or not it would be, good pdl itics tcTetesL Southern Democrat Speaker, Cantraann said : "I hon liei-e it would be. We are ! esuy ix shut o place ii to' say sJiall ac when tl There i kick. ut from the first or second j importance in the nation, and that a Southern Democrat n.-rupy the third. place is o "ir. The time has come e South should assert herself, no need of longer holding Northern Democrats readily acknow ledge that the South is due the Speakership, and a Southern man will likely get.it. I don't think itwillbeJLills-" r The Advance heartily agrees with the sentiment expressed above. It goes - further. It hopes Judge Crisp, of Georgia, will be elected Sp ikpr. IfsHch nolitics loses tjlie Democracy the Presidency, let it We do the work and should be cognized therefor. The Rocky Mount Phoenix, handsome John Lewis' paper, en tered upon its fifth volume last week.. We extend our congratula tions.

(SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, D. C, May n, '91. The Fifth Auditor of the Treasury department told me to-day that Mr. F. H". Busbee had filed a claim in his office for 5404,054.2 1 as the proper amount of money due North Caroli na under the direct tax refunding act, instead of $377,452.61 as first stated. Tlie error was made in the simple addition of the figures at the Treas ury department. This fact is in it self quite a commentary on the efn xdftney of -the Treasury experts'of that time. The ' amount due Wilson county aceormng 1; to Mr. Busbee's last katement is $8,245.35. The amount due Pitt is S13.S27.64. The names of the tax payers in these counties -can be copied, so Capt.

The cause of so many invol untary resignations is the cutting off of the appropriations for the work of the Survey proper to make up an amount needed for the irrigation scheme in the northwestern part of the United States. Mr. Hays, who is a very accomplished tooouraohic and ;i besides being a 1 O I en writer reputation, could have kept 1-" 11 the Survey if he had consented to do comparatively un congenial work. He preferred to return to his native State and work independently in the line of his pro fession. Mr. Wilson is the eldest son of -Major James W.Wilson, the able chairman of the North Carolina Railroad Commission. Maj. Wilson allowed his son to accept a placs in the Geological Survey that he might prepare himself for work of a more independent nature. He-is now ful ly prepared to leave the Survey and will return to the State in a few days, in accordance with the wishes of his father. Mr. Chasi Grandy, of Eliza beth City, is the only' North Carolin ian left Tit the Survey. A VAT.UA CLE TMSCOVET&. ' There is a very modest but singu lar rmed ,n 1 th Carolina gentle man. Air.

The re this talented man in this lone will be of great beno- iarmers throughout the THE MEDICAL CONVENTION. The Medical Convention, which has just closed its session here was a very great success though some of the more conservative physicians tell me that so much important work was crowded into the space ' of the week that no ordinary physician could reap the benefits accruing from the labors of so many learned men. In addition to the North Carolina doc- tors whose names were mentioned in j my ast letter, were Drs Battle, and Karl Von Ruck, of Asheville, and Dr. Pemberton, of Monroe. A board of twenty-five were appointed to in vestigate thev relation of contract railroad surgeons in the United States to the code of ethics of the members ofthe profession and what action should be taken by the associ ation in reference to corporations employing surgeons only under such rules as were laid down by them. Amone the members are : J Coch rane, Alabama, W. S. Powell and T. F. Wood, North Carolina, W. P. Porcher South Carolina. A com mittee of twenty-three members were appointed to memoralize Congress for the establishment ot a Cabinet officer to be called Medical Secretary of Public Health. Among the mem bers are Drs. Richardson, Louisiana ; W. T. Riggs, Tennessee ; I. P Lo gan, Georgia; Wirt Johnson,- Miss issippi; 1. t. Wood, North Caroli na. koch's lymth all right. In the section on Practice of Med icine a most important set of papers, with the discussion to which they gave rise, related to tuberculine, Dr. Koch's methods lor control and cure of consumption, phthisis or tubercu losis. Five papers were prepared by Drs. Jackson, of Ncrfolk, Va., Dr. H. I. Eddins, of the Marine Hospital service. Dr. Karl Van Ruck, ol Asheville, N. C, and Dr. A. S. Pate, of Boston, Mass. Cases 'in illustra tion were given, taken from all class es, but treated as far as possible un der the best hygienic and dietary conditions, and in all cases tuberline was the only medicine used. Mak ing allowance for individual differ ences in treatment and in judgment, the decided opinion of the authors and of those who discussed the sub ject was that tuberculine had an un doubted -value-that the medical pro fession, as yet, hardly appreciated. The enthusiasm of six nynths ago had given place to scepticftn just as extreme, but no other refiedy, yet known could supplant Kofi's lymph, Dr. Von Ruck's experience is per haps ot exceptional interest- In his sanitarium at Asheville his Results he-. fore the use of the-mpsyMere Jjopd ; patients 'gained itif;- weight; night sweats were controlled and lungs were improved all this under the the most tavorable hygiene and - dis cipline ; but since he began to use tuberculine the gain in all directions had been quicker and some patients had been discharged, cured. HIGH PRAISE FOR HOME FOLKS. Our State had a very creditable representation here. Dr. Herring of Wilson, is a. man of fine presence and acknowledged ability. He is the peer of any of the phesicians who sat in this body. Another very accom- hj1isjTpdpjryician is Dr. Tucknr. of Henderson, IS. C. Dr. Battle and Dr. Karl Von Ruck, of Asheville, Dr. Wood, of Wilmington and Dr. Pemberton. of Monroe, and last but not least, the versatile and gifted Dr. Charles O'Hagan, of Greenville, a gentleman of whom any State may well be proud, were all interested participators in the Convention. I think no State in the Union sent as a whole a more learned or conscien tious body of representative men to the Convention. The social' part of the affair was admirably managed. The city and the resident physicians spared neither time nor money in contributing to the pleasure of the members ot the Conventions. Art Galleries, the palatial homes of some of the resident physicians, opportuni ties to visit Mount Vernon and other points on the handsome steam ships that dot the Potomac, were freely given and cordially enjoyed. Every physician expressed himself as being both pleased and entertained during his entire week's stay at the capital. AMERICA STANDS THE COMPARISON. The Tribuna, of Rome, has a cor respondent hereto report the Italian situation. His name is Signor Cor tesi and his cablegrams cost 40 cents a word ! How would our home pa pers like that ? There is one feature of the United States controversy with Italy which furnishes an object lesson and which Cortesi can study to ad vantage.. All of King Humbert's people might do well to study it and emulate the example of America. Vhil e the international difficulty was at its height Premier Rudini was handicapped by the opposition of Crispi and his followers, and every time Mr. Blaine made a telling thrust at Italy it was followed by sounds of revelry from the direction of the de posed cabinet officer. To be sure, Rudini had a bad case, but he might have made a much better showing had he been given a united and pa triotic support. Here in the United States the situation was quite differ ent. While there might have been a slight difference of opinion as to the best mode of procedure, the Ameri can people were a unit on the main point, and on all sides were the utter ances of Mr. Blaine enthusiastically applauded. Nor was this all. Mr. Bayard, the last Democratic Secre tary of State, and a statesman who bears about the same relation to Mr. Blaine, as Crispi does to Rudini, came to the front with a manly en dorsement of the policy of the' Uni ted States Government as set forth by Secretary Blaine. Comparisons are always odious, but in this instance the odium is not on the American side. It has been demonstrated that American patriotism, combined with American common sense, is more than a match for diplomats ofthe Ru dini school. There are many ques tions upon which the American peo ple are not a unit, but arrogant de mands from a foreign power is not one of them. Another Letter. Washington, May 9th 18891. Mr. Blaine will, I am informed, shortly remove himself from the dan ger of being struck by Presidential lightning by writing a letter declining to allow his name to be considered in connection with the nomination next year, and announcing his fealty to Mr. Harrison and his desire to see him nominated, but there is another danger that he either lacks the cour age or inclination to remove himself from, and which may prove as disas- trous to him as the anchors he once cast to windward by the advice of "burn this letter" Fisher. This danger arises from his desire to protect the financial interests of his friend Stephen B. Elkins, who is a leading member of the syndicate that now has the government sealing privilege in Behring sea. But for this desire all the trouble might have been avoided for the J coming season in Alaskan waters, as it is known that the British minister was ready to pledge his government to stop all British vessels from capturing seals for one year if Mr. Blaine w-ould make the same pledge for American vessels. Last year, before Elkins became interested in the sealing in dustry, that was what Mr. Blaine was asking for, but now he doesn't wish to rxstop the sealing, because his friend hopes this season to take an 1 enormous number a courageous Treasury agent blocked the game last season by stopping the catch, but a more accomodating agent in the person of J. Stanley Brown, once the private secretary of President Garfield, and now the husband of Mollie Garfield, has been selected for duty with the sealers this season, and Mr. Elkins and his partners antici pate no trouble in taking all the seals they can catch, if Mr. Blaine can only maintain the statues quo until the fall. Secretary Foster appears to be getting what the. boys call "rattled" over the condition of the Treasury. To quiet the alarm created by the announcement that he intend to ex tend the out standing 4 per cent bonds at 2 per cent instead of redeem ing them when they mature Septem ber5 the first, next, he has his Direc tory of the Mint furnish a statement to the press which made it appear that the enormous sum of $258,000. 00 was avilable to pay any debts o r appropriations. This was so absurd that Mr. Foster had himself inter viewed in crder that he might say that he did not altogether endorse that statement. He then proceeds to figure out an available cash surplus of S70.000.000 and to naively inform the country that he also considers the $cx?pco.ocxxiii gold, which has always been regarded as a reserve 'Tiefcl against the $-550,000,000, green backs in circulation, to be available cash and that he will not hesitate to use it if it comes to a pinch. Not withstanding these statements the daily balance sheet of the Treasury for yesterday shows a surplus of less than S2 2.000.000. The evident Harrison stampede which has set in among the big re publicans 4s exciting the curiosity of political observers. Even Quay, Clarkson and Dudley have announc ed their allegiance to "Little Benny," and their determination to see him nominated. The only reason that I can seeforJt Js thaC no other man wants the dubious honor of leading the republican forlorn hope next year. Representative McMillin, of Tenn. who is a candidate for Speaker of the House, and several of his friends held a conference this week. "Mr. McMil lin, has been traveling in the Eastern States and the presumption is that he has been doing a little quiet mission ary work for himself. He declines to talk about his prospects further than to say that he is in the fight un til the Speaker is elected. "Called Back" is now applicable to ex-Senator Blair, who the Chinese Emperor declines to receive as U. S. Minister. Some other diplomatic position is to be found for Mr. Blair who has been ordered to report to the Department of State.
