They -n't Agree Regarding Federal Contvol'of Spirits in Bonded Wan -honsej . Washington, Oct. 1C Governor Tillman, of South Carolka, was at the Treasury Department today and had an interview with Commissioner Miller, of the Internal Revenne Bureau, in regard to a question on which there seemed to Le a conflict between Federal and State authori ties. Under the dispensary, laws of the Stace of South Carolina distilled spirits in the custody of the United States in bonded warehouses, belong ing to parties who have violated the provisions of dispensary law by sell ing them within the State, are de clared to be a nuisance, ana on con viction the State officers are au thorized to seize and confiscate the liqaors. In all such cases tho Goy ernor proposed to tender the tax to the government and seize the spirits, contending that the Federal au thorities have no right to interfere in the matter. Commissioner Miller took issue with the Governor and cited several decisions of the courts, among them one by the Supreme Court ot the United States wherein it was held that goodJ in bonded warehouses were not subject to any process or proceeding issued from a State court and that so long as the government retained control of the goods its jur isdiction and authority was supreme. No filial decision, howeyer, was reached, and it is possible that in deference to the wishes of Gov. Till man the question will be referred to the Attorney GeLeral for an opinion.

There are some plucky girls in Durham county brave, fearless girls, when life is at stake. Here is one. One day last week Miss Minnie Blalock, daughter of Wm. Blalock, a well-to-do farmer of tnis county, was visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles Anderson, who lives about four miles from town. Miss Minnie with several others, among whom was the little four-year-ol J son of Mr. An derson, were attracted by a wasp's nest at one end of the house. There was also an open well near the corner of the house, and in their excitement and watchirg the wasps, the little boy kept backing back unmindful of the well, until he went over back wards. The well was 28 feet deep, with four feet of water. This turned attention from the wasps to the child. For a moment or two there was consternation. But Miss Blalock. with undaunted courage, took in the situation and she at once proceeded to go down in the well, and when she reached the water it was just in time to save her little nephew, who was about to sink for the third time. Che succeeded in pulling him out of the water, and strengthening herself she brought him to the top and safely landed him on terra firms. It was a courageous act, and the yonng lady is justly entitled to all praises for her nerve and boldness in saying the life of her little nephew. Durham Sun. - At Forest llill.

Fired Upon a Kaanected Keero in the Hnyor'K Oflice. Stateaville, Oct. 15 Three'noWs were entred by burglars in this -$ity Saturday night. At the house of .Mr. L Pinkus, Mr. Al. Pinkus got five shots at a colored man: at a'n other house a negro was in the ladies bjed room before discovered. Mrs. C L Warren called her husband, ' stating that there was a man in the .room. The man leaped through the window taking sash and lights with him, and as he jumped Mr, Warren fired at him but missed his aim. However, he left his hat, which Mr. Warren secured, and with this evidence of ficers arrested a negro named John Halybutton, and placed him in jail Sunday. The negro said the hat found at Warren's house was his, but he had traded it Saturday night to a negro from the county, whose name ho did not learn in fact a man he did not know. This morning Halyburton wr.s taken to the mayor's office atd while in the custody of officers, waiting the appearance of Mayor Arm field, Mr. C L Warren, who js an ex-chief of police of this city, walked into the room and inquired if the negro sitting against the wall (who was Halyburton) was the ma,n under arrest for entering his houf. The reply being in the affirmative, Mr. Warren drew his pistol and fired upon the negro but Chief of Police Cathey was quick enough to knock his pistol up, the' ball missing the neroe's head but six inches. Mr. Warren was at once disarmed and placed under arrtst. Mr. Warren claimed he shot at the negro because of indignities offered his wife when the negro was in his wife's room. Subsequently the negro was tried and sent to jail. Warren was also tried and bound over to court' m a bjnd of $203. Another Kttpi-t Lynched, Princeton, Ky., Oct. 15. Willis Griffey, the rape fieud, confined in jail here, was lynched last night at 11:30 o'clock by a mob of 100 or more men. They went to the iail and demanded of Keeper Pool the keys.

The mob wore no ma ks and were strangets to the jailor. The negro' was hanged to a beech tree three miles from here. The body was horribly and namelessly mutilated and perferated with bul lets. The mob wa3 undoubtedly from Christian county. The leader was barely in his teens. The Phone All ,U. K.

Mis Rosa Yates, the bright, pretty and gentle 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thadeus Yates, of Cannonville, passed away at twilight Monday. Little Miss Yates had been for a long time a patient and never complaining sufferer of consumption, and her death brings gloom to the household of which she had these few short years been such a kind, loving and affectionate daughter and sister. Her remains were interred at Roeky Ridge today (Tuesday.) The be reaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community. Don't Tou Think That everything in and around town is on the hustle. That it wouldn't be a bad idea for our citizens to take more interest in public matters and let Concord come more prominently to the front. That Concord is one of the best cotton markets in North Carolina. That the merchants are having a fair trade this fall. . That people, in general should be more thankful that they are living and doing well. --That the Populist's thrashing max chine and elephant are two things in their party that are a burden to them. That the freaks in and around our city are numerous enough to start a good menagerie. That if you would treat others with due respect you would be more respected. That the many new residences in our city add greatly to the eppear ance of things. That it would be well for every man to vote the straight Democratic ticket. - A Place for Bnefc.

The Democracy of the past h;nl their tips and downs just a3 wo are haying them now. We are onlv keeping the old Democratic camp fires chunked up and fighting over again, on Carolina's historic soil, the battle? our daddies fought away back in the 40's. It looks as if his tory was repeating itself, tor we are doing battle witlr the same foe, high protective tariff under the assumed name of Republicanism. In 1841 Cumberland county resolved a whole newspaper column of resolves against "the lavish extravagance and pro fuse expenditures,, of money by the Federal and Whig parties and their attempts to "fasten a national batik on the country." In these dajs there was a fusion cf the Federal Whig and Whig parties, but their platforms were nearly in accord ; not so antagonistic as these latter day Republicans and Populists. There was the semblance of afSr.ity, but not enough to prevent confusion, for the "Madisonian," a Whig paper, said, "a vast portion of the Whigs were disgusted at the aristocratic bearing and violent denunciations of their recent allies, the Federals, and determined not to fight shoulder to shoulder with them in an unjust cause." The tariff was a hying is sue and the Lincoln Republicon as serted that "the moment Congress attempts to raise the tariff the south ern people will be roused to their former pitch of fire and fury. The question was looked on then, as nosv, "as one on which men may differ without compromising party delegas tions," nevertheless the tariff tax on sugar, salt, molasses, blankets and all necessities was a burning theme. There was a cry about "scarcity of money" and the laborer was demand ing higher wages. A sub-treasury bill was discussed and crowds of office seekers rushed to the capitol, us Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, said, "like half famished wolves on the groat praries of the west," and, "there were those distinguished in the land smelling their way into the greasy places of the palace, begging for the bones that might be thrown there." The Democratic voters were .-then Jeering about an appropriation of $15,000 TcTmritfiiely' ifflU $25,. 000 bounty to Mrs. Harrison. The Democratic party, with its principles so nnchangel still lives, bequeathed tu by its former defenders. Thcv, nnterrified vanquished Whigery and its ally, Federalism. It is for us to protect against Republicanism and its side show, Populism. Campaigns in olden times were not conducted like they are now. There were big barbacues, and gen eral musters where the sturdy yeo- menry gathered together and, over cakes a nd cider, had a good time. fhe people werj honest in their political convictions and supported their Standard bearer with a vim on an honest zeal ! the candidates in almost every instance were men of sterling worth and unimpeachable. The principles and politics of party were openly and honestly discussed. There was little chicanry, and these old timers would have scorned secret conclaves and political jugglery. They would have spit upon the po litical tricksters and henchmeD who are so seeming and ofliiciously bimy before each election. There ia no doubt that venality has crept in and corrupted the purity of the bailot box and iv is passing stange that men professing to be men, fit men for any cfiicj in the gift of the po ple would so belittle themselves as to barter or plan with such cattle. These political pimps must have some encouragment saye party zeal. or they could not live. There is of necessity something substantial be hind all this every day bluBter and gad of the would-be political heeler I'm afraid your town is not free of these political piocurators. Satur day last, even a non resident could see by the little straws "which way the wind blows," and I'm not draw ing the color line when I say it. The men who attempt to secure place, position or office by any save an hon est open canvass will come to grief, and the fellow who sells his services to aid any official aspirant should be committed to the order of the mem bers of the good road3 Congress or Chairman Dove's chain gang.

PopnliNt StateHinnnHhip. f: Some idea of what the populists would do, or try to do if they had control of the government may be gathered from the measures which have been introduced and urged by their repre3entativej in congress. We give below a list of tome (by no means all) of the bills which have been introduced in Congress by Populist leaders and a reasonable estiinafe of the amount of money which would be required to carry out the provisions each : Representative Da- vis's bill (No. 3,- idi)) providing for the loan to certain mortgage debtors is estimated to re quire not les3 than the sum of.. S10,000,000,COO Representatiye Clov er's bill (No. 0254, Fifty-second con gress) to loan to states, etc., 50 per cent of assessed val uation of property is estimated to re quire exceeding 12,000,000,000. Kepreseneative Clov er's bill, (No. Fifty second con gress) to loan money to cities ana municipalities, is variously estimated to require the sum of from Jj-3,000-000,000 to $15,000, 000,000, say 10,000,000,000 Senator Ptffer's bill, (No. 007) to loan not exceeding $2 500 to any individ ual applying hay ing real estate se curity, provides for an immediate iEsue of not less than $700,000,000, and aa ultimate issue of much more, but is nofcaCiWKtfJinth" total, being simi'ar in principle to house bill 3430 above quoted. Representative Kems bill (No. 5447), to establish a govern mentbank m each county where not ineladedin 'revioas estimates, would re quire an issue of not less than 1,000,000,000 Mr. Watson's vari ous bills are not es timated, being in clule in their prin ciples in previous estimates. Representative Hud son s " pension bill (H.R.21S6), would require theiminedi atc issue of 1,500,000,000 Representative Da-' vis industrial army bill (Ii. II. 0707), would lequire tu annual expenditure of 500,000,000 Senator Peffer's charity bi31(S1300) appropriates 0,3000,000 Representative Bo- en's bill (Ii. H. 7908), for internal improvements, ap propriates 500,000,000 With an anuual ap propriation in ad i dition. Repersenta ive Bo en's bill (II. R. 5745), to extermin ate the Rusdan this ile appropri ates I,000,0o0 Senator Peffer's rain water bill (No 789G) makes an appropri. ation of 20,000,000 Total $35,507,300,000 The estimates do not include any duplication nor any items of expens diture proposed in the bills named nor do they include salaries of the thousands upon thousands of officials to be appointed under their provis ions. As the total estimated money of the world, including paper, gold, silver, copper brass and iron tokens does not exceed $10,100,000,000 it appears that the amount of money called for by the , bills named is fiye times the volume of the cur rency of the world What our paper money would be worth under such circumstances anyone of ordinary inteligence knows. "Jack" is no Store. In the stillness of the night Tue sday death crept into the body ofJackeon Bsll, an old colored man of our city.
