The farmers of Union are holding on
to their cotton with a dead grip. Re
ceipts on Thursday were three bales,
Friday 30 bales. For the correspond
ing days last year they were 196 and
220 respectively. This shows conclu
sively that Union farmers are in first
class financial condition, as there is
plenty of cotton in the country, and
prices here compare very favorably
with those of any adjacent market.
The police force of Monroe furnish
ed a complete census of the town.
The population is 3,003. This with
that of the suburbs, which is estimated
at about 500, makes a very great in

1890, which was only 2,000.

THE STATK PENSION ROLL.
The List Shows a Total of 5,143
Widows and Soldiers.
The State Pension Boll has just been
completed by tho Auditor, and the
warrants are now being issued, and
will probably go to the register of
deeds of the various counties between
December l6t and 15th.
The number of pensioners in tho
State on tho list by class is as follows:
First class 102, as against 68 last
year; these' receive this year $64, as
against $68 last year.
Second class 216, as against 240 last
year; these receive this year 18 .as
against 51 last year.
Third class 352, as against 348 last
j'ear; these receive $32 each as against
$34 last year.
Fourth class (soldiers) 1,674, as
against 1,41)1 last year; these receive
S16 each as against $17 last year.
Fourth class (widows) 2,769, as
against 2,737 last year; these receive
16 as against $17 last year.
There is a considerable increase of
pensioners in every class, the largest
being in the fourth class (soldiers).
But this increase in numbers is offset
by a corresponding decrease in the
amount received by each pensioner.
The increase in the first class during
the. year is 34 and the decrease in
amount received by ench is S; in the
second class the increase in number is
6 and the decrease in amount is $3; in
the third class the increase is 4 and
the decrease in amount is $2; in theT
fourth class (soldiers) the increase is
183, and the decrease iu amount is 1 ;
in the fourth class-(widows) tho in
crease is 32 and the decrease in amount,
is SI showing a net increase of 259,
and leaving a total on the roll, widows
and soldiers, of 5,113.
The total amount paid out this year
for pension.- will be, iu round num
bers SI 05,000 which is S5.000 over

MILLS ARE HAMMING.
Farmers Gathering Fine Crops, and
the People Not Bothering Over
Polities.
Oapt. Frank Erwiu, one of the lead
ing citizens of Greensboro, N. C, who
in in the city, says there are no loafers
or tramps in his country. Every person
who wants work can find it . The crops
of cotton and tobacco have brought
good prices, which makes glad the heart
of the planter, and merchants and
tradesmen aro rejoicing. There is life
in all branches of trade. All the cotton
factories jin the State are running on
full time and doing all the business
their plants will turn out. Other man
ufacturers are alike prosperous.
"There are two new cotton factories
under construction iu Greensboro,"
said Mr. Erwin, "that will cost over
$800,000. We have two already in
operation, which the owners are en
larging to double the present capacity
in order to accommodate their trade.
Governor Tom Holt is enlargiug his
large cotton factory at Haw River, a
few- miles east of us, on account of
growing busines. We have over 300
cotton factories in the State, which is
more than any other State has. There
is a great demand for good carpenters
in our section. Buildiug operations
have been considerably retarded for the
vrant of workmen.
"The mining interest in North Caro
lina is attracting many prospectors
and capitalists. We have almost every
variety of miueral aud precious stones
known to geologists. Many of the gold
and copper mines that were worked be
fore the war are being bought by
syndicates and worked with improved
machinery with very flattering suc
cess. "
When asked about politics the cap
tain replied: "Our people are too
busy looking after makiug an honest
living to fool their time away with
fleeting shadows. We have some
professional politicians at home and
here who Took after that interest, and
nothing else. When the time comes
to vote our people generally cast their
ballots to suit themselves." Wash

con has a law only in regard to wild
turkeys, yvhile in Stanly county it $
allowed to kill wild turkeys at any
time during the year. In the counties
of Moore, Wilson, Hyde and Pamlico
the law is not applicable to doves or
larks, and in Fidgecombe it does not
apply to doves. Tn Craven, Duplin
and Cumberland counties farmers are
allowed to shoot, on their own land,'

COTTON'S ItAPIO RECOVERY.
Many Reasons That it is Being Held
Back by the Planters.
R. G. Dun & Co. '8 weekly review of trade
for last week says: Failures in October thus
far reported show liabilities ot f 11,120,489
against $ 8,206, W last.yr and 1S,905,494
In 1993. Failures for the week have been
278 in the United States against 249 last year
and 53 in Canada against 50 last year.
The rapid recovery in cotton and the rise
in sterling exchange to iie point at which
tho last exports of gold were made have not
increased conlldenee. Whether cotton is
kept back by present planters, as many
reason, or by speculators, makes no practical
difference if merchandls imports (for the
pat four weeks at New Y .-rk 32 jer cent., or
tl0,200,000 larger than last year), so far ex
ceed merchandise expert; (for tbo past four
weeks at New York 10.2 per cent., or $2,600,
000 larger thin last year), as to cause ship
ments of gold.
Cotton has risen to 9 cents again. Specu
lation turns for the moment on the disposi
tion of holders to keep b vk their cotton,
which may compel higher prices, some say,
however large the ultimate supply may be.
Receipts are at preseut - .-ry small compared
with last year's, and it is stated that banks
here have more money loaned on cotton, to
enable holders to keep it without marketing,
than ever before. Exports and takings oi
spinners are small, and stocks abroad and
here are so large that consumers may be bet
ter able to wait than borrow from -banks.
The tendency to realize on a moderate ad
vance was show n on Thursday, though spot
prices remain strong.
The larger demand for manufactured pro
ducts lias he!. 1 prices of " cotton goods and
even advanced some prints, in spite of last
yveek's dcline in cotton.
At the South general trade among jobbers at
most points is only fair and in some sections
mercantile 'collections are slower, with far
mers holding their crops. Business at New
Orleans at the close of the month is smaller
in volume." aj is usual. Galveston reports
very little. Texas cotton remaining in pro
ducers' hands and receipts falling off sharp
ly. But general trade has improved some
what at Memphis, Atlanta'aud Augusta, and
to a greater extent at Birmingham, where
the output of coal and iron is much . largei
than heretofore and the number of employes
at work correspondingly increased with the
prospects more favorable than for months
past. St. Louis jobbers believe next spring's
business at the South will be the heaviest for
years.
1IILL.S -OF ROME TREMBLE.
Many Magnificent Palaces and Public
iiulidiugs Damaged- Bells Tolled
aud Clocks Stopped.
F.oaie was visited by violent shocks of
earthquake at 510 o'clock Friday morning.
People wer nro'ssod from their slumbers
and fled to the open squares and the great
est consternation prevailed. The convent of
Suta Maria Maggiore wis greatly damaged.
A portion of the outer wall waa overthrown
and a part of the ceiling has fallen. One of
the inmates, a monk, was injured. The
shocks were confined to the province of
Itoiua. They were felt very strongly at tho
C istelli Romani, but the damage done there
whs not serious. The official observatory re
poitofthe disturbau' cs tays that the first
manifestations were slight tremblings which
la-ted about five secnuds. These became
nif.re violent for a period of eight seconds
and then became slighter for nine seconds.
Two clocks in the observatory stopped the
rco'Leid the trembling began, each indica
ting the hour, 5 3J. The direction of tho
movements was from north to south. The
shocks created a great panic among tha in
mates of tho prison and a mutiny wa3 at
tempted by the prisoners. Troop? wer
quickly called to the assistance of the. keep
er? and in a short time the mutiny wa3 sup
pres"d and order restored. Tbe Pop5 wai
awakened by the shocks. He- was perfectly
calm and alt'T rising, made haste to inquire
th1 new-; from theeity.
- Inve-tiuution discloses the fact that th
damage lone by the earthquafca Is much
greater haa whs at th.-.t supposed. Four
pala' es and the 1. ank of Italy were so
shaken up that they arc rendered unsafe lor
occupancy. The Pala-rao 01?calchi. cce cf
the finest palaces in R-ene, and five other
structures of that charatter was also seri
ously damaged. The building of the minis
try of finance was also slightly damaged.
The quakes rang all the bells in the city

HOLMES WILL. HANG.
His Long Bloody Record Went Against
Him. Motion for Ncyv Trial.
At Philadelphia, Ta.. Herman W. Mudg. tt,
or as he is better known, H. H. Holmes, was
on Saturday night convi- ted of murder iu
the first degree fr killing Benjamin P'. Pit--zel
in Philadelphia on B ;t. 2. 1894. The
jury needed but one ballot to reach this
decision. The court ordered Holmes to
arise, and then in response to the question
of the court, the foreman of the jury pro
nounced the fatal words: "Ouilty of mur
der in the first degree."' The. verdict was
greeted with absolute silence. The charge
of the judge miKt have foreshadowed what
his fate would be. but the word 'guilty" fell
upon IPdnies with stunning force. He made
no outcry or exhibited any emotion of auy
kind the blow was too stunning for noisy
outbreaks. As the effects of the blow- bvgm
to die away, Holmes slowly recovered. Ho
realized that his eouusel was making a mo
tion for a new trial. His under lip fell and
he ran his tongue htoss it moistening the
dryness, and clashing his hands together ho
leaned forward to listen to. the judge's decis
ion. When Judiro Arnold said that he would
hear the application for a new trial on Mon
day. Nov. is. an expression of something
like hope broke across his dull face. Turn
ing to the court officers he sai l in an eager
whisper, ''Myii lay. Nov. 18tb?"' These were
the only words he uttered. If ever the value
of a good name wouhp have leen a shield
Hnd bu.'kler.to a man in his hour of peril
that man is Holmes. If ever a man's black
deeds rose up to confront and convict him
that rnin is Holmes. If Holmes had only
Ik-cu in the dock for the murder of Pitezd it
is an open question if the prosecution would
not have ' failed of conviction, but unques
tionably his bloody record served to con
demn him.

THE OCTOBER BULLETIN
Shows How The Farmers Are Begin
ning to Make a Profit oa Tbiir
Products.
The October bulletin of the Agri
cultural Department just issued says:
That when the question card was sent
ont it was supposed the drought, then
revaihng was the only element of
ilanger to be apprehended. Lnqtury
was made in respect to this, but
the
very early past could not bo foreseen,
from which greater loss reunited iiT
some sections than from 'the drought.
Previous reports indicated an abun-
lance of vegetables and breadst'uffs.
It was desired to ascertain what was
tho outlook for the meat supply and
what progress farmers were making
towards improving the quality and
condition of their meat-prod uciog
stock. Commissioner Patterson is so
deeply impressed with the necessity
ot is or in uavoiina iarmers raising
their own bread and meat and is so
thoroughly convinced that it is the es
sential policy on which their perma
nent prosperity must be based, ithat
the niiswers to tho question are pajtio-
ulnrly gratifying.
A. decided majority of the answers
received show increase of number and
improvement of both hogs and cattle,
and 95 per cent, say that there! is a
leoided tendency of the farmers to
raiso more of their own meat sup dies
p.ud to improve th? grade of loth cat
tle and hogs. A large proportion as
sign the stock law as the cause of this
improvement in cattle and hogs. . An
Mvers to questions of injury by dro ight
to certain crops and information of
damage by tho . subsequent frosts, giv
en by many correspondents, relate to
portions of the State only -.when the
crops were uot fully matured. . t is
difficult, therefore to calculate the ef
fect on the condition of each crop for
tho State at large., but from the best
information it in believed that cottou
is more than 65 per cent, of an Aver
age crop and it may full lower. Corn

tato crop 6ufFered badly and reports
indicate but little over half a drop.
lobacco in the eastern rountiesi was
nearly all housed, but in the middle
and western counties the frost did
much damace; how much it is impossi
ble now to estimate. I

yvas that of 189051 degrees; the cold
est lhat of 188747 decrrees. Tho
highest recorded temperaturo for tho
month was 80 degrees; tho lowest 17.
Tho average date on which the first
killingfroiitoccurshereisOct. 26. From
this it will be seen how phenomeaally
early were ihe I severe frosts this
autumn. November is not r,ainy
month, for in one year only six-huu-
drcths of an inch fell during its 30
days.

Speed of 17 Knots.
The offloial sneed of the Ammeri ram
Katahlin is 16.13 knots as reported id Sec-
rotary Herbert at Washington by thq trial
board and the vessel stand. rejected junder
her contract, bearing the distinction oft being
the flrf-t vessel of the new navy failing to
reach contract rennirements. Unless special
provision is made bv tbe i next session ot
congress, theliith iron works of Maine,
which built the hull and macutnery, must
rely on selling br to ,ome foreign govern
ment to recoup tbelr expenditure. In
that ase a complication would arie, as
400,000 worth of armor belonging o the
United States ' is fastened in place on the

Naval officers adhere to the lliej that
under favorable conditions in the Kiuooth
water for which the Katahdin was designed,
she could easily make the required 17 knots.
Her contractors, however, prefer uot to run
the risk of forcing her higher than tliey did
on Thursday and prefer to leave ih'i whole
matter to President Cleveland, relying on
his fairness to suggest a just settlement.
