I WAS COMPELLED TO HELP THE RICH. i There ore evils which lire made ncces ary by other evils, ami the luto billionaire jongress seems to have been one of these iecssary evils growing out of one wicked uncial system. Congress has assumed ndcr the constitutional permit the ex- usive right to coin and issue money and distribute the sauio to the people. Now she has but four ways of distrib- ing money, to-wit : l aying on eui- oyees, making public improvements, Jch as building court houses, postoffices d deepening harbors and rivers, build ig ships, &c., paying off the interest aDd Jf inciple on the public debt and in pen Ions. It is true, we her, get so little "rom these sources that it amounts to less an a '"yard of moonshine" on a clear light vet it is the only means the govern- . lent has of keeping this money in circu ation. The sum collected annually from e people amounts to over four hundred lillion more than a third of all the 4 i i . i looey in circulation ana it uie govern- ent did not pay it out again there Duld, in less than three years, be not a bllar in circulation amongst the people. Hence to prevent a total cessation of fusiness including the lucrative calling of ie tax-gatherer it becomes a necessary jart of American political economy to end the earnings of the government as ast as possible. To do this it is not nly necessary to pay out money for the Expenses of government economically ad ministered but to pay it out in premiums in bonds not due, to help the poor land lolder to keep the wolf from the door; .nd occasionally a little lift of say two tundred million to the distressed Wall treet speculator. Nor does it come amiss o make a little retribution to those pour nillionaires who have had the "fat fried ut of them" for poliiical boodle. And hen there is another great national en terprise in the shape of trusts, combines, obberies aud subsidies that should be lept afloat. Of course this money should Jfiot be distributed through the farmer aud laboring man. It would spoil a serf, and place the party in peril at the next elec tion for the want of "fat."

There is another railroad scheme on foot for Southport and it is to be hoped hat men of means aro behind tho move ment and that they nican business. It i as been christened the Brunswick, Northern and Southern R. It. Company, and the name looks well and sounds well. Mr. Frank Ullery, the Vice-President of tho Company, and Capt. II. II. Doug herty, the General Manager, came up to the city Jast night from Southport, where they have been for several days. They want Brunswick County to subscribe 8100,000 to the road and have induced the Commissioners to call an election on this subject for December 22d. They have put up (15,000 in bank here to defray all of the expenses incident to this election. These gentlemen have been working quietly, but to some purpose. It is said that they have purchased about 855,000 worth of Southport and Brunswick county real property including a water root in the 227 acres required, and the property for a coaling station cost $12, 000. This with other tracts foot up the $45,000. This surely has the appear ance of business men. The company has already acquired about 300 feet of water front at Wilmington. It is proposed to connect Wilmington and Southport and Shallotte by railway and from this last named point to go to Marion, from Marion, S. C. to Greenville and from Greenville to Knoxville.Tenn., thus opening up a route to Chicago to deep water 1G0 miles nearer then by any now in operation. The President, Mr. Geo. L. Dunlap, is general manager of the Chicago a Northwestern II. R. Capt. II. II. Dougherty, the general manager, is a cival engineer and enjoys wide celebrity in connection with the construction of the most famous cantil ever bridges in this country and South America. The road, when built, will have about seventy miles of railroad in Brunswick county, and the shops aid terminals of the road will be at Southport. HIS FINAL RESTING PLACE. PRESIDENT DAVIS' REMAINS TO BE PLACED IN HOLLYWOOD. A committee representing the Ladies' Hollywood Memorial Association, called on Mrs Jefferson Davis last week, with a view of expressing the desire that the association be allowed the custody of the remains of Mr. Davis Various places of sepulture were talked of, including the ground of the "White House" of the Confederacy. Mrs. Davis said her hus band had often expressed his aversion to any any publie noisy thoroughfare as a place of burial, and had desired a quiet and secluded place for himself, where his whole family might rest near him. She said she had finally decided on Holly wood cemetery, but had not as yet selected the exact spot. She assured the ladies that as soon as her selection was made and tho interment had taken place, she would then turn over the whole section to tho Hollywood Memorial Association. Mrs. Davis has son (Joseph) buried in Hollywood. It i ln the plane interment of some eighteen thousand Confederate soldiers. Mrs. Davis ex pressed her earnest desire to make Rich mond her future home and said it was no longer a question of anything but means, If she can make satisfactory financial arrangements she will soon be back to spend the rest of her days. The site the monument to Mr. Davis will be left in the hands of the Davis Monument Asso ciation.

The Democratic ascendancy was never so absolute in North Carolina us in the rest of tho South, but there has not beon as much apparent Republican progress in it as in the other States considered. Tho Democratic majority was 17,010 in 1870, and 13,118 in 1889. Tho Re publicans carried 25 counties in tho first year named, and 34 in the last. The Democratic per cent of the vote dropped from 53. G3 to 51.80. and that of the Republicans increased form 46.37 mere are tnrcc especially encouraging features in the North Carolina situation, 1. The proportion of votes has diminish ed from one to 5 41 to one to 5.51, and this uncast vote, which is, here as else where, generally republican, is moro than large enough to change the result. Some day it will do so. 2. Fifteen of the Democratic counties gave Cleveland less than 100 majoritv, 14 between 100 and 200, and the Republicans are gain ing id 18 ot the 26. 3. But tho most important is that, although the Republi cans have lost several black oountics, they are gaining rapidly in the white section. Thirty-six counties containing less than 35 per ceut of blacks the average being 12.97 gave the Democrats a net majority of 13.221 in 187C, but only 3,352 in 1888. It is therefore almost needless to say that this section of the State is also the one in which tho greatest amount of general progress is noticeable.

All the year tho orignal habitat of all native variet- ies of American grapes and is supposed by many to be the most desirable part of the continent for the horticulturist. In 1476, the Republicans carried only four counties in this white section, but increas ed the number to 14 in 1838, and have made gains in all but two of the others. The percentage of blacks in the State, which was 37.05 in 1880, fell to 34.05 in 1890, and there has been a decrease in 37 counties. During the past few years (especially since the census was taken), there has been a large and increas ing exodus of blacks to tho South and West, and the probabilities are that the next census will show a decided decrease for the whole State. As it is, the whites outnumber the blacks two to one, and in creased during the last decade about six times as fast. In 1888 the Republicans came very near controlling the legislature, and the alarmed Democrats adopted substantially the South Carolina election system. It is not, however, popular with the white masses, and, if properly supported, the Republicans can probably carry the new State next year in spite of these laws. JiUT UNCE. swans are saia to sing but once, and that is when they are dy ing. They are symbols of our Saviour's song on the eve of his crucifixion. We are not told whether Ho over took audible part in the previous Passover hymns. So far as the Bible teaches on this subject this was His only song on earth. The poet Harbaugh expresses this idea of the Swan Song in beautiful poetry: Have you heard of the tale they tell of the swan. The snow white bird of the Lake It uoisel"ssly floats in tho silvery way, It silently sits on the brake ; For it saves the song till the end of life, And then in the soft, still even, 'Mid the golden light of the ssttiog sun, It sings as it soars into heaven I And the blessed notes fall back from the skies, 'Tis its only song, for in singing it dies, Both air and water abound in microbes or germs of disease, ready to infest the debilitated system.

FOWNES IS WITHOUT PARALLEL. A New York dispatch published yes terday chronicles the death of Dr F. C. Fownes, once a prominent physician, from indulgence in the practice of drinking strong coffee in inordinate quantities. Twenty years ago, it is said, Dr. Fownes became much addicted to coffee drinking, and the appetite grew on him until he would drink from three to five quarts per day The coffee he drank was so strong that no one else would drink it He gradually lost his practioo and became a physical wreck, dependent for subsistence But of course not- " North Caro on his sister. He would in his later years linai an(1 at Charlotte. Mr. E. D. Latta would loave him in such a state that tf was feared he would commit suicide After drinking five or six cups of the strong infusion he prepared for himself, he would sink into a torpor, such as overcomes the victim of alcoholism or the opium habit. Unicago pnysicians say the case is without precedent so far as known. Dr. Elmer Lee said he had never known such a case. He believed a man who would indulge in cottee to such excess was a moral and physical crank, and not greatly different from people who used any other stimulant to excess. Cases where the excessive use of coffee or tea is tbe main trouble are not so common," said Dr. Lee, "although it is true that we have to restrict the use of these beverages in many cases and to prohibit their use absolutely in some cases. The next case of excessive coffee using it with some variation from Dr. Keeley's treatment for some time, and it is so satisfiifitorv that T see nn mssnn whv it should not do in a case of exces- sive indulgence in coffee. This case is certainly an extreme one in every re spect." Dr. John C. Spray: "I never heard of so unusual a case of the effects of cof fee drinking. The excessive use of coffee or tea, or both, is highly injurious. I would rather undertake a case where the trouble is caused by excessive use of al conolic or malt stimulants tnan a case whero it was duo to coffee. The effects of coffee and tea are much more subtle than those of liquor, are more like the effects of using opium, and. therefore. more difficult to treat." Chicago Trib- une.

SHE WEARS THE BREECHES AND NORTH CAROLINA LEADS IN THEIR MANUFACTURE. It is not generally known that in this vast country "tho South wears tho breeches." But so it is. Tho largest manufactory of trousers, as the British call the nether integuments, but Ameri cans generally call them pants or panta loons, is in the South the largest, it is said, in all the world. And where do you suppose it is located ? Of course, in Icwf lork, Philadelphia or Chicago. is the owner. One ot our southern trado journals says that this enterprising man "travels six salesmen, and sells his goods from New York to Texas, but the whole sale clothing men of New York take the largest portion of the product of his factory. The factory furnishes employ ment to a large number of women, and is a blessing to many families." North Carolina ought to have other big things. For instance, a huge furniture factory right up where the finest woods grow There might be over a dozen of these and not overstock tbe market. he South is selling to the North its cheaper iron, its cotton and wool fabrics, its saw mills steel wagon axles, and its fresh vegetables and other products.

In half the coun ties the pear can be produced in utmost perfection. Wilmington Messenger. IMPORTANT DECISION. PROPRIETARY MEDICINES VENDERS MUST REGISTER. The Supreme Court of this State has recently rendered a decision of interest to physicians and also to venders of proprie tary medicines. At the Spring term 1891, of the Superior Court of Washing ton county, action was brought against L, V. VanDcran for the statutory offense created by chapter 181 of the laws 1889. The indictment charged him wii unlawfully practising and attempting practice medicine and surgery, without having procured as required by law license from the Board of Examiners I n. n T 1. 1 theotato ot iNorth Uarolina, or suowin a diploma issued by a regular Medical College prior to the 7th day of March 1885, and not having obtained from the clerk a certificate of registration. On trial he pleaded that he had a diplons from a College in Chicago which he ha lost, and that he did not oome legally un der the classification of physician in tb State, as he prescribed only proprietary remedies prepared and sold by himself. It was shown that on seveml phim he had diagnosed cases, claiming to be physician, had prescribed for them and hid agreed to e ffoct cures for a stipulated sum. lie was convicted and toot an ap peal to the Supreme Court, which sus tained the decision ot the lower court and held the opinion that when a vender of proprietary medicine diagnoses a case and prescribes for it that act in the eye" of the law constitutes him a physician, aud brings him within pale of the statute.

NO MATTER WHAT MOTHER HAS ON SHE IS THE BEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD TO YOU. Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Holston confer- ence at Sam Jones meeting in W ilming- ton, said many good things to the chil dren, and among them is tho following: "Respect your parents; don't bo ashamed of them if they are not as well educated as you. My mother never read Latin or Greek, but she knows a great deal more than I do about many things. I'll tell you the kind of boy I like. Four miles from Emory and Hen ry College, where I went to school, lived old Mrs. DeBush and her son, Sam. One day Sam rode by the College, and he asked one of the boys if he could get an education there; he was too poor to pay. The boy told him Dr. Wiley gave a boy uition to ring the bell. He might get that job if he could get something to eat somehow. He told his mother and she said, 'If you can get it in that way I'll send you something to eat.' "He saw Dr. Wiley and got the job and his mother sent him cold corn bread to eat. Four years he studied and rang that bell, and one of the Professors told me it was never rung a minute out ot time, and when he was going to graduate he told his mother he wanted her to come to the exercises. In reply to her statement that she had nothing fit to wear he told her he was not ashamed of her in her calico dress and sunbonnet. She came and sat on the last bench. The Robertson gold medal was to be competed for by the debating Society of which he was a member, and it was the custom for the winner to hang it on the neck of his sweetheart. Sam was last to speak, and meu on that platform said they never saw an audience thrilled as that speech of Sam DeBush's thrilled them. He won the medal and what did he do with it? had no sweetheart ho had been dying too mueh to think about one.
