The largest-vote that silver received j
on any cine of the amendments was on !
the re-enactment of the old JBIand-
AJllisoii law offered by Senator Berry,
cf Arkansas. The vote on that stood
Si yeas and 37 najs four majority
against the amendment. ;
The final vote on the passage of the
bill showed 20 democrats and 23 repub-
Jicans for the bill; 19 democrats, 3 pop
ulists a nd 10 republicans against it.
The joint resolution offered by Mr.
Cullom, of Illinois, transferring the
model battleship Illinois to the state
of Illinois .s an armory for the naval j
militia of that state, at the close of the
world's fair, was passed. 1 j
There is a deficiency in the treasury '
of S50,OCXl,o()0 which must be made up a
once, and the only way to do that in
the event that a bill to coin the seign
iorage cannot be adopted, is to issue
bonds. They will favor that, and so
will a majority of the republicans, but
the southern democrats are bitter
against a bond issue, and this will lead
to another fight. Mr. Cleveland holds,
however, that bonds can be issued un
der the law of 1875, and he may relieve .
the embarrassing.situation by instruct- ;
ing Secretary Carlisle to issue them. I
The senate has confirmed all the
Georgians appointed recently, includ

Public interest was transferred to
day to the . house end of the . capitol,
where it was expected that the last
act in the great drama that has been
riveting the attention of the country
on Washington for the past three
months, would be enacted.
The resolution transferring the bat
tleship "Illinois" to the state of Illinois
was passed. '
The passage . of the repeal bill by
the senate was announced, and the
house proceeded to routine business.
Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, created
Bome excitement by an attempt to se
cure .unanimous consent to proceed
with the consideration of the repeal
bill. His proposition was that the
house agree to consider the bill for
the remainder of the afternoon and
tomorrow until .5 o'clock when the
previous question be considered as
ordered on the bill and pending amend
incut. -Mr. Bland made a vehement protest
and said the bill should take its course
like any other bill and come up regu
larly under the rules as many members
wanted to be heard.
And so the first attempt to reach an
agreement in the house failed.
The passage of the repeal by the sen

Washington, November 1. The re
peal bill, with the senate's amendment,
was passed by the house today, after'
an unsuccessful effort to filibuster by
the silver advocates, and by 4 o'clock
it was in the hands of the president.
On the final passage of the bill the
vote stood 192 yeas and 3 nays.
The analysis of the vote shows that
124 democrats. G8 republicans and one
populist voted for concurrence, and 70 t

After being hurriedly enrolled, the
bill was signed by Speaker Crisp, then
carried to the senate, where it was
signed by Vice President Stevenson.
The bill was then carried to the
white house, where the president and
several members of his cabinet were
awaiting' its arrival. After felicitating

it will go to the president tomorrow

now between the two houses is on an
amendment which the senate inserted
i'n the urg-eney deficiency bill. The
amendment provides for the payment

WILSON COUNTY, N. C, NOVEMBER, 9 1893.
INSURE
jLrp Does Not TJnderst and Why Life
Insurance Companies.
DO SOT TAKE RISKS OS WOMEN.
He Say That It Is an Injcgtlce That the
Bisk on a Woman's Life Is No
Greater Than on a Man's.
Once more I rise in behalf of the
women. My recent letter on life in
surance has provoked - some corres
pondence with young men, married
and unmarried, who desire to insure
their lives and ask for further inf or- j
mation. I have no ax to grind and ,
no special companies to favor, but two ,
ktte rWfrnm lipsnmvnM m
to ask some questions myself, for until
recertly I did not know that life in
surance was only for men and horses
and - other cattle women are gener
ally excluded. They can't even get an
accident policy that will provide a
weekly allowance in case they are in
jured. ' v
This was a revelation to rrie, and I
made inquiry of an intelligent agent
of a life company and he said that it
was presumed that men supported the
women and therefore women did not
need insurance as long as the father or
the husband lived.
That reasoning will not do in these
days. No such charitable considera
tion moves the companies to make
the distinction. Life insurance is a
business not "a charity and business
rules govern it. -
Another agent told me that females
were too great a risk on account of
the perrils of childbirth and that wo
men would not submit to the critical
examination that was required, and
still another agent said his company
would insure them, but had to charge
a higher rate.
None of these reasons seemed suf
ficient to me, and at last I did find a
company that had ignored all these
qbjections and was in the field as the
champion of women and insured her
life upon equal terms with our sex.
Well, why not? The embarrassment
about the examination . amounts to
nothing, for the old family doctor is
near at hand and knows his patrons
and his patients. The men may de
ceive him, but the women will not
try to. j I would , rather rely upon a
woman's answer than a man's.
As to the ; perils that environ ma
ternity, they will not compare with
the perils that environ the majority
of young and middle-aged men -perils
of occupation, perils' of imprudence,
indiscretion and indulgence of passion
and appetite. Women do not drink
nor chew, nor smoke nor handle guns
nor pistols, nor climb trees nor build
houses, nor run on the trains, nor com
mit suicide. If I was an insurance
company, I would prefer women to
men. The risk is not so great, and
the rate ought really 'to be cheaper.
I would employ women for agents to
solicit insurance, and in cities I would
have female doctors to examine the
applicants. Here is a wide field for
an enterprising company. Thousands
of young women would embrace the
opportunity : of insuring their lives if
it was offered to them. The" time was
when the necessity did not exist, for
woman was almost universally
supported by man not so now
j-Everywhere . ..'we see women strug
gling to earn their own living. They
are in the stores and printing offices
and box and candy factories and book
binderies. They are the typesetters,
typewriters, photographers, secretaries
and bookkeepers everywhere they are
advancing . and encroaching upon such
occupations of the men as are fitting to.
their sex. , The number of these busy
women in Atlanta is already up in the
thousands, not including those whose
home is in the cotton mills. Almost a:ll
the women have somebody to work for
somebody dependent upon their dally
labor and, therefore, they should have
their lives insured for at least one thous
and dollars. .
Last night while ruminating upon a
letter from a young widow who wishes
to insure her life for the benefit of her
child, I inquired of my family how
many widews there were in town. I
wished to compare them with the wid
owers. We made a list of those who
were within the circle of our acquaint
ance, taking them street by street, and
counted forty-nine. Of these four were
made widows by the war. Then we
numbered the widowers, . and there
were only ten. What does that signify ?
I thought that maybe the climate bad
something to do with it, for they told
me in Texas that that country was
good for men and mules, but mighty
hard on women and steers. Maybe it is
the reverse up here. Again I thought
that, perhaps, it signified that widowers
married again, while widows remained
loyal to the memories of their first and
only love. This did explain it in part,
for we found nine widowers who had
married again and only one of them
married a widow. The greedy fellows
seem to want a young girl every time.
So it will be seen that the women out
live the men. If they are sick a good
deal they don't die, but live on and on
and on. The difference is manifest and
decided. Then why should an insur
ance company hesitate I? Why not
break through these old rules and
prejudices and keep up with the pro
gress of the times in other things ?
They insure horses and horned cattle in
Atlanta. Why not women ? Now this
young widow has an income of forty
dollars a month that came from her
husband's life policy, and she wishes to
invest five dollars a month in a policy
that will go to the child when she dies,
or revert to her if she survives the child.
What better investment can a company
make ; what better investment can she
make ? And yet women arc left out
or are charged as extra hazardous by
most all of the life companies. It is a
mistake. It is more than .that. It is ia
wrong, an injustice done to the female
sexl Now let the insurance comianies
rise and explain, ii they can. . v.

Last week I visited the good old
Dutch town of Ncvberry in South Car--olina.
It was a delightful trip of sunny
days and moonlight nights, and over
one of the be.st roads in the-South.
People used to say that the Georgia,
nu s 3 OIle
railro!wl to many, but they don t say
bo now. its trailic is increasing all tlie
time and its service is first-class. From
Athens to Newberry is' a bright and
productive country, and the people
seem happy over their abundant crops.
Newlerry expects to handle her usual
allowance of twenty-five thousand bales
of cotton. There is a mill there that
consumes seven' thousand bales and an
oil mill that works up the seed. The
town is solid and prosperous. The new
public school biiilding that cost seven
teen thousand dollars is completed and
occupied. The Lutheran college adorns
a distant hill, and the beautiful homes
of the -people are embowered among .
shade trees and flower3 all around in
the suburbs. The ihayor took me
around to the dispensary not that he
or the people were '"proud of it but be
cause it was now a part of Newberry,
and must be exhibited to strangers.
Some said it was a degradation. Some
said it was better than saloons, but all
admitted that it lessened drunkenness
and would bring in a revenue. The
whislcy was on the shelves in pints and
quarts. Its price and quality were on
the labels and the palmetto tree was
blown in the glass. Every man who
buys signs an application, ays his.
money, gets his bottle or his jug and
departs. No loafing round is permitted.
The negroes who haul in the cotton are
the best customers. The price is high,
but they must have it. The profit is
divided equally betvecn the town and
the county. In August-.; the profit was
only $25. In September it wras S250,
and the estimate for October was four
hundred dollars. The state had al
ready get its share when the goods
were invoiced to this dispensary.
So it seems that the state and the towns
and the counies are all to fatten on
this business and this will make it
popular with the taxpayers. Whether
it is constitutional for a state to run
a business for revenue is to be tested
by the courts but they say- that Georgia
used to run the State railroad and that
France buys and sells all the tobacco.
When South Carolina does anything
it is done by wholesale. The fences
were all cleaned up at one session but
here in Georgia we have a vote in every
district, and some have . f enees and
some have none. In Carolina every one
approves the stock law and the people
would in Georgia if it was passed. I
wish that our legislature had the nerve
to do it. Bir.r. Aep.

norveil ia the Laud of Dykes.
In Holland an engagement is a far
more serious affair than in any other
country in the world, says a corre
spondent of the New York Post. As a
rule the young people have to face
great difficulties before they have thcW
heart's wish fulfilled aad before 'love's
course run?, sniooth On account of
the great publicity which is given to it,
it is for this reason : alone very awk
ward for both parties to break an en
gagement. Young : women are kept
very strictly in the land of dykes. No
riding in buggies or going to theaters
alone wiih .-young men is permitted.
There is always some elderly lady to
e-haperon e the young jfirl wherever she
goes. When a Dutchman falls in love
and believes his ' affection returned, he
he will, if well bred, ask the parents
of his lady love for permission to call
upon her oftcner than 'is allowed by
the Dutch etiquette 'for ordinary male
visitors. This request being granted,
the young people meet quite often; lit
tle dinner ait; arranged, informally,
where his seat is next to hers, so that
our K'ouivf friends can talk and cx-
change opinions to their hearts' con
tent.; All this is done to give the lovers
the opportunity to get to know each
other thoroughly before they take tho
decisive step, which, as I have said, is
very binding When at last the young
people have coino to an understanding,
the hand of the fiancee is formally
asked by the father of the future hus
band or if his father is no longer liv
ing, by his mother jot guardian,, but
never by the young man himself). It
is, of course, linown beforehand that
this request will not meet with a re
fusal, since the fact that the son has
been granted leave to visit his fi
ancee's home shows that his suit is
approved. Money affairs are now set
tled, and the prospects of the young
people talked over. After that cards
ore printed, bearing the names of the
betrothed, and also the day for the re
ception, which as a rule takes place at
the fiancee's house In the afternoon,
from two to five, the usual calling hour
in Holland. Those cards are sent not
only to friends, but to the slightest ac
quaintances on both sides, who arc all
supposed to acknowledge them, either
by sending letters of congratulation,
or, if livii j in tho same town as the
fiancee, by presenting themselves on
the day of the reception.

The most unstable compound known

explosive substance so far discovered,
is chloride of nitrogen, which probably
consists of three parts of chloride
united with one of nitrogen. Its terri-,

Santa xder, Spa'ix, November 5. A
terrible explosion occurred here last
night, in which a number of persons
were killed. The shock of the explo
sion was so great that the residents in
the furtherest part of the city thought
an earthquake had occurred and
that the place was about t6 be de
stroyed. t .
The ship Volo, with a cargo of dyna
mite, was lying at the quay last even
ing when in some way not yet ex
plained, she caught fire. A large
crowd gathered in the vicinity, and the
police, evidently ! unaware of the
dangerous character of the ship's car
go, made no attempt to drive them
away.
The governor of the province per
sonally directed the efforts of the
firemen to extinguish the flames,
though fully aware of the danger
he and the other fire fighters were in.
While every effort was being made
to quench the flames a dull roar, fol
lowed by a loud report, shook to its
foundations every house around the
quay, wrecked walls being blown
out as though they were made of card
board. .. .-.'''
The explosion of the dynamite lifted
the sea into the air like a waterspout,

and stones with wreckage and hurl

Houses were immediately ignited by
the blazing timbers and the people
who were not killed rushed in terror
into the streets, where a number of
them met death or were severely
wounded or crushed by falling houses.
Others ran in terror from the scene
and hundreds went with fear, and,
abandoning the city, ran into the
fields, shrieking hysterically and tear
ing their hairwith fury. ''
The loss of life can net yet be stated
with any degree of accuracy. : It is
known, however, that many persons
were killed, and a very large number
injured. The governor has not been
seen since the explosion. It is feared
that he was killed and blown out into
the bay. ..
T(he town is completely paralyzed
by the disaster, and no attempt was
subsequently made to extinguish the
fire, which was communicated to ad
jacent quays by flaming brands thrown
bv the exploding dynamite.
The number of people who have lost
their senses through the explosion . is
great, and it is said that hundreds of
people have completely, gone out of
their minds and will have to be con
fined in asylums the remainder of their
lives. Mandez Nunez street is com
pletely destroyed and a number of ad
joining streets suffered terribly and
arc in ruins. - .
