The man with the. largest foot in
the world is probably the Rev.. John
Farnham, of Charlotte, in thisState.
He wears a number 35 shoe, which
requires a sole 20 inches long and 7
inches broad. The business of man
ufacturing his shoes is conducted at
Philadelphia, and it constitutes one
of the most extensive industries of
that city. ; ....
i-i ;
In the first eight months of 1888
there were 35 failures of woollen
manufacturing concerns, with lia
bilities of $2,4S0,000 j and assets of
$1,355,000. In the first eight months
of 1889 there were 46 failureslia
bilities, $G,920,000; assets, $5,173,000.
And every succeeding year will be
worse as long as the .manufacturers
shall be forced to contend against
taxed raw material, taxed machin
ery and political leeches.

Judge Hughes' declaration that
he will vote the Democratic ticket
this fall is a sore blow to Mahone,
and is a wet blanket to his adher
ents. Judge Hughes has always
heretofore been a Republican and
was never known as a kicker. His
defection may be a signal for a
stampede. It is already hinted that
Judge Lewis, president of the Court
of Appeals of Virginia, will vote for
McKinney. He was elected to his
present position by the Mahone
Legislature several years ago.

The Irish agricultural statistics
for last year have just been pub
lished. In cattle there was a de.
crease of 58:259. as compared with
1887, the number being 4,099,195;
andjthere were 1,397,825 pigs, which
was a slight falling! off. On the
othor hand, there is an increase in
theIpoultry(14, 480,400) goats (295,
698,) horses (of 7,692 to 565,097,) asses
(of 3, 640. to 203, 152.) and sheep l(of
248,843 to 7,626,669.) There was a
large increase in the number of cat

Cure Your Catarrh, or Get S500
For many, years, the proprietors of
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who
are thoroughly responsible, finan
cially, as any one can easily ascer
tain bv proper enquiry, have oner
ed, in'gooil faith, through nearly j
every newspaper in the land,, a
standing reward of $500 for a case
of nasal catarrh, no matter how bad
or of how long standing, which
they cannot cure. The Remedy,

A Good Piece, Well Produced.
Those who attended thei perform
ance at the Opera House last night,
expecting to be repaid for their
trouble, were not disappointed. We
were sure, as we stated, that Mr.
Gardiner would not send out a poor
piece or a poor company. "The
Streets of New York,'" although an
old piece, was handsomely present
ed last night. There was a good
house not a very large one but an
encouraging one and it is safe to
say that all enjoyed the presenta
tion. Mr. Donaldson, as Tom Bad
ger, took the house by storm. The
i New York Herald isrisrht: he is "all
; Miss El lie Gilroy, as Dob, the Boot
black, was pleasing and very clever
in her impersonation of the part.
Miss Douglass was charming in her
. rendition of the heroine nfHhp niece. I
Allda, and Mr. John GJlroy's Dan j
was one of the pleasing features, of
the play. Tne scenery is very, fine
and the great fire scene in the fifth
act was a magnificent thing. The :
support was very good anil j
we think the troupe may be classed
as one of the best on the road. They
appear again to night and we hope
to a full house. The piece will not
be slaughted, but wjll be rendered
entire, as the troupe will not leave
-here unci! to morrow morning.
j Richmond Terminal's Kival.
Underjthis head the New York
Herald tells of Mr. Robinson's new
line from Monroe to Atlanta, the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern R.
R., and says it "is to be built." It
is perhaps ignorant of the fact that
a part of this line has already been
completed and is now being operat
ed.t The prediction is also being
freely made thatlthe road will all
be ready for the rails by next Feb
ruary 1st, and that trains will be
moving from Monroe to Atlanta by
June 1st, 1890.
The Herald speaks of the bonds
and says: (
The completion of this road will
i vetlieRobinson party a th rough
line from New York City to'Atlanta,
via! Norfolk, Va., as they already
own or control what- is known as
the Seaboard Air Line, which is
made up of the Old Dominion steam ship
line, from New York to Norfolk;
the Baltimore Steam Packet Com
pany, from Baltimore to Portsmouth
and Norfolk. Va.; the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad, which is 117
mile3 long, including branches; the
Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, 160i
miles long, with branches; the Au
gusta Air Line, 139 miles long, and
the Carolina Central, 287 miles long
all of which they control. When
the line has been finished the dis
tance from Portsmouth to Atlanta
over the Robinson system will be
930 miles.
Mr. Calvin S. Brice" declined to
see. me. He sent out word, how
ever, that the Richmond Terminal
people were not alarmed at the
prospect of being paralleled. He said
that it would take at least three
years to finish the road and at least
three more for the owners to get any
business. At the end of that time
the Richmond Terminal would be
gin to take an interest in it, but cer
tainly not before.
Death of Gen. Dili.
Lieut. Gen. Daniel Harvey Hill,
one of the most prominent figures
of the late war, and one of the most
gallant of the many brave and no'
ble souls who have made Southern
valor and chivalry as immortal as
the everlasting hills, passed quietly
to his last long sleep in Charlqfte,
on Tuesday afternoon, at the resi
dence of his brother-in-law,' Mr. J.
P. Irwin.
Gen. Hill was a native of York
county, S. C, very near the North
Carolina line. He was born in 1821
and graduated at West Poiut in the
class of , 42 with Gens. Longstreet,
A. P. Stewart, Doubleday, Reynolds
aud others. He served with great
gallantry aud distinction in the
Mexican wTar and was twice brevet
ed. He entered the Confederate
service as commander of the First
Regiment and fought
first fight of the war,
Big Bethel.
He took a prominent part in the
battle of Big Bethel, and' led suc
cessively in the following engage -ments:
Williamsburg, Va., Seven
Pines or Four Oaks, Mechanicsville,
Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill, South
Mountain or Boonsboro, Sharpsburg
and Fredericksburg. After this lat
ter battle Gen. Hill was transferred
to the seat of war in the West. ; His
re'putatipn was gained in the battle
of South-Mountain. He held the
mountain pass atBoonsboro against
the whole of McClellan's army
from early dawn until the after
noon, when Longstreet and Hood
came to his relief. The fighting at
this point was terrific.
At the close, of the war Gen. Hill
returned to Charlotte and published
and won the
the battle of
a monthly magazine, "The Land
We Love," which he was compelled
to give up because of broken health.
In 1876 he became President of Ihe
University of Arkansas and in 1887
he was elected President Of the
LState Agricultural College at Mil-
ledgeville, Ga. Because of feeble
health he was soon compelled to
resign this position and he returned
to Charlotte. He was in Wilming
ton last Summer and visited South
port, seeking relief.
Gen. Hill was brother in-law to
Stonewall Jackson. He was mar
ried to Miss Isabella Morrison, old-
jest daughter of the late Dr. R. 'It.
Morrison, in November, 1848. Mrs.
D, H.J.Hill and seven children are
still living. Gen. Hill's body was
bnried in the old graveyard, at Da
vidson College, where four of his
children were buried.

Seldom is the painful duty imposed upon us
to chronicle the death of one more highly es

many womanly traits of character than the
subject of this tribute. I
Mrs. Bradshaw was 76 years of age. She has
not lived in vain. For over fifty year3 a! devo

household, In the church and among her
neighbors and fricods those elements of char
acter which go to make the true woman. It
is said that the child Is father to the man. It
Is more true that woman is mother i to the
nation, and such women iis Mrs. Bradshaw
have done much to build tip the glory and use
