I T.G.COI.K, (ITIJLlSIIKi:,) Wm. II. WIIITK, SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, - Kun iii. s $1.00 Entered at the Post Office at Ma rion, N. C, for transmission through the mails, as second class matter. FRIDAY, Jl'NIi u, 1893 Rev. O. L. Springfield, of Ral 'gh, made a most interesting ad dress on Tuesday night in the Baptist church in favor of chris tian education. He canvassed the Baptist congregation Wednesday to secure funds to aid in finishing the Baptist Female University at Raleigh. Mr. Stringfield told sev eral of us that he liked this loca tion here for the yearly Baptist State Sunday School Chatauqua better than any other locality vis ited. Everything was favorable for the location of that institution here but one thing : and that is the presence of our saloons. While we have licensed saloons here, he said that he would not recommend the chatauqua to come here, and this is not unreasonable nor should it be wondered at. In our trying to build up we have to choose be tween retaining the saloons or gaining such great and g00(l en terprises as the above. Nothing of the kind of any church will likely come here while we have open saloons. Some children are not sent here to go to school for the same reason. When will we awake to the duty of having no saloons? The dollar and cent argument is threadbare and worth less as in their favor. Some things are worth more than dollars. Mc Dowell's and Marion's incubus is whiskey. It was in Urbana, Ohio, this time. That is, a few days ago a negro man committed a nameless crime on a white woman. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for 20 years, but an Ohio mob, mind you, took him from the sheriff (two men killed and a number wounded in so doing) and lynched him in broad open daylight with no effort at concealment. The militia had to let the mobbers alone too many of them and too determined. But vou say : In Ohio? Of course. If the Ohioans were living down here they would be just as we are, if not worse, on this unlawful procedure of lynch ing. It matters a great deal, you know, as to "whose ox is gored." Now let some of the lecturing be turned to I'rbana, Ohio; even I'rbana. Horrid lynching after the man was sentenced to 20 years! Worse than usual ! It is generally done before trial. And lynching is not in accord with the Ten Com mandments anywhere. Schlatter, the so-called divine healer, has pasted away. Through ignorance and superstition he was deceived as to his own power. Even he was crazed with religious fanaticism the most unreasonable of follies, for he went off into the mountains of northern Mexico, says the New York Journal, .o fast 40 days the time that Christ fasted and of course the cranky fanatic was found dead the pity of it with his Bible in his hand. He draws more pity, for he seemed to have sincerely believed in his misguided self. And these pre sumptuous so-called divine healers belong to the same misguided, money-getting family. In a recent issue we asked : "What "is the matter with Hon. W. T. Crawford for Congress in 1S9S ?" That excellent journal, the Waynes ville Cou'.cr, copies our question. d -in about three-fourths of a alnmn. most interestinplv rives good reasons why the Ninth Dis trict could have no better demo cratic candidate in 1S0S than Hon. William Tecumseh Crawford. We agree with the Courier. A few ap pointments may have resulted in some feeling once, but that is about gone, and Mr. Crawford should not be held to account. It is time enough, it may be, but still not too soon to organize success. On Tuesday in Chicago the na tional committee of the silver Re publican party met. Thirty two States were represented. The ob ject is to co-operate with other silver or bi metalist parties against the regular Republican party in power on account of its financial views and plans. The leaders are such men as H. M. Teller, Fred. J. DuBois, J. 1 J ones, I'. J. Cannon, R. l' Pettigrew, Senator Mantle, C. A. Towne, C. S. Hartman, J. 1 Shafroth and Charles II. Allen. They bolted the St. Louis conven tion and supported William . Bryan. The great parade of the united Confederate veterans will take place at Nashville, Tennessee, on June 24th. Hence, the city should be reached not later than June 23rd, if the McDowell camp will attend in considerable numbers or representatively. & New line Uajimks next week ul Swindell's.

Lee, Consul General to Cuba, will he recalled soon and J. Frank Aldrich, of Chicago, formerly a Congressman, will take his place. Rev. Berry Lawson, a Methodist divine, who lives near Barbourville, Ky., while woiking in a cornfield, had his head shot entirely off his shoulders by his son on Tuesday. The boy slipped up behind his father and shot him because his father had whipped him on last Sunday. The youthful patricide escaped. Two men were killed and ten wounded by a company of the Ohio National Guard at Urbana, ()., at l':.0 o'clock on the morning of June Jth, while the soldiers were attempting to save Charles Mitchell, the colored assailant of Mrs. Eliza Gautner, widow of a well known newspaper publisher, fioni the hands of an infuriated mob, but their e Hurts were un availing, as MitheU was taken fioni the jail at 7:30 on the same morning and hanged to a tree in the comt yard. Those killed by the militia were spectators at the scene of the excitement. In addi tion to the list, it is feared Mrs. Gaumcr, who was assaulted by the negro, will not recover, and several of the injured men are in a serious condition. The dead are: Harvey Beil, of Urbana, shot in the head, instantly killed; Upton Baker, fanner, of North Urbana. The greatest excitement prevailed, ami the .shcrilV, who, it is supposed, ordered the militia to fire on the mob, had to flee for his life. Slri.in Tret's Tlit' Tau-llmk ImliiHtrv.

Remarking, recently, upon a statement of the Morgariton Herald concerning the immense quantities of tan-bark which are bHng hauled to a steam tannery there, we observed the the destruc tion of trees for the purpose of getting their bark for merchandise is a short-sighted policy. There is a big steam tannery at Wilkesboro, as at Morganton, and the Wilkes boro paper protests against the kill ing of the timber of the county for the money that is to be made out of the bark. This talk, in connection with the recent discussion of the San Jose scale in North Carolina, and the damage it is doing fruit trees, sug gests an interesting story told by Capt. J. C. Mills, of Burke, and an interesting experience of his, growing out of it. Twenty-five years ago June Andrews, of Cane Creek, Rutherford county, was traveling on horseback through Yancey county and passed an or chard, every tree of which was stripped of its bark from the ground to the limbs, lie rode on, thinking about it, and as he thought, his interest grew until at length he turned and rode back to the house next the orchard and asked the man of the house what he meant by killing all his fruit trees. The man replied that he had not killed them, but had skinned them for their health; that when any of his trees gave a sign of diseased bark, he always skinned them between the 20th and 25th of June, and they imme diatly took on a new and smooth bark and became as lusty as in youth. Ever since hearing the story, Capt. Mills has tried this treatment on any of his fruit trees that gave a sign of declining health, and has never lost one. He began on trees the loss of which would not have signified anything had they died, but has for years been skinning them promiscuously when there appeared anyreason for doctoring them. He has tried the treatment on apple, peach and pear trees, and has no doubt that it would be as successful if applied to forest timber. Certainly the wood does not want to be cut, but a ring needs to be cut around the tree, wood deep, and then the bark stripped off. The season for skinning may have to be varied a little, according to locality, but it is supposed that in this part of the State anywhere from the 20th to the joth of June would answer the date is not arbitrary. Capt. Mills' reasoning is that if people want to stript their trees for tan bark, they should stripthem stand ing and not destroy the trees. And this suggests some fresh facts in connection with this tan bark industry. A gentleman who has traveled recently in Wilkes one of the very finest corn coun ties in the State told the writer, a few days ago. that many of the people of Wilkes have quit farming and are giving their whole lime to cutting down their timber and getting and hau'.ing bark, at which employment they just about make wages. In consequence of this there have been shipped into the county by railroad thus far this year, twenty car loads of hay, sixty-one car-loads of corn, fifty of tlour, and meat and other like necessities in proportion, whereas, formerly, the county imported none of these tilings, but exported all of them. We talk of our poverty here in .North Carolina, but in view of such facts as the foregoing, is it not rather a matter of surprise mat we nave anything at all? Itueklen's Arnica Salve.

From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, June 7th,lS97. If Shakespeare were alive ami writing about the sugar trust scandal he would probably make Puck say, "What coward's these Senators be," instead of, "What fools these mortals be." The Till man resolution has not been re ported to the Senate, but it is dead killed by the fears of some Sen ators and the absolute cowardice of others. An investigation is not wanted by either t he sugar trust or its legislative servants, and there are enough Senators so wrapped in what they are pleased to call conservatism aud respect for the honor of the Senate who will join in voting against the resolution when it is reported to the Senate to defeat it. Senator Jones, of Nevada, who is chairman of the committee to which the resolution was referred, has acted rather ijueerly. lie first told Sen ator Tillman that the committee would report the resolution lavor abl.v, but now he is opposed to that action and has fallen back on the stock excuse that it is too im portant a matter to be hurriedly acted upon. There is, however, one consolation in thin situation. The sugar trust may ecao tate exposure that would failrw ttar-l ough investigation, but it williuso lose much of the mouy it weuld have gained by the sugar schedule it had inserted iu the tarilf bill by the republicans of the Seuate finance committee, as that sched ule is as dead as a last year's bird nest. How favorable a schedule the trust will be able to secure is yet to be seen. It is fighting hard, and the subject is one upon which crooked work can easily be done, as a sugar schedule is ol such a technical nature that it requires careful study, even on the part of experts, to understand, and is Greek to ordiuary folk. Republican ex Congiessmen are taking about any old thing of an office that comes within their reach these days. The latest catches in this Hue were ex Con gressman Andrews, of Nebraska, who has been nominated to be auditor of the Treasury Depatt- inent,anl ex Congressman Brown, of Pennsylvania, who has been nominated to be auditor for the War Department. Senator Chilton, of Texas, a me m tier ot the inter state com merce committee, the chairman of which has been so active 111 trying to push the Foraker railroad pool ing bin turougu the committee since the Supreme Court decision adverse to railroad pooling, took the side ot Senator Butler, of North Carolina, when he declared that there had been "indecent haste" in pushing the bill. Chair man Cullom, of the committee, tried to deny the accusation bv saying that the committee had been considering a pooling bill long before the Supreme Court de cision, benator Chilton said he had been a member of the commit tee for two years but had no knowledge of any attempt to press consideration of a pooling bill until after the adverse decision of the Supreme Court. Senator Butler gave notice that no railroad pool ing bill could he acted upon by the Senate until the bill meeting the objection of the Supreme Court to an income tax had been acted upon. Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, has been booming Rep resentative Bailey, of Texas, for the presidency ever since they re turned from their triumphant cam paign for the election of a demo crat to lill the vacancy in the Mis souri delegatiou in the House. 3Ir. Bailey says he has no presidential aspirations and is iu favor of the nomination of Mr. Bryan it 1909, but wishes to serve tt trni a Speaker of the House, and then to become a member of the Seuate, which he declares to be "the great est legislative body in the world." There has naturally been much talk about the very blunt warning given to Boss Hauua by Seuator Mautle, of Montana, in a speech on the wool schedule of the tarill bill. Mr. Mantle said the wool manufacturers wanted the cream aud were not only willing but anxious that only skim milk should be served to the wool growers. He told Mr. Hanna that unless the wool schedule was made satifae tory to the wool growers he would be retired to private life, instead of being returned to the Senate. Mr. Ilanna is beginning to show that he has fears of its turning out that way, regardless of what the tariff bill may or may not contain. Mr. Mclvinley has nominated Ellis II. Roberts, of New York, to be Uuited States treasurer, to please Boss Piatt and his machine, and has nominated Conrad N. Jor dan (for a second term) to be as sistaut treasurer at New York, to please the gold democrats of Wall street. It is a case of attempting to carry water on both shoulders.

Atlanta, Ga., June 5th. special to the Journal from Macon says that a bill has been prepared there for filing in the United States Court, to put the Southern Railway in the hands of a receiver. Rumor had it yesterday that the bill would be filed to day, but it is learned that nothing will be done in the matter to day, though the bill has been ready. It is under stood that Bacon Viller, and Des sau, Bartlett & Ellis are the attor neys representing W. B. Sparks, the Dunlap Hardware Company, M. M. Hatcher, Sam Mayer, B. L Jones and others in the petition. While the suit will be directed primarily at the Southern Rail way, it is reported that other roads supposed to be controlled by the Southern will be made parties, including the Georgia Pacifice. The Georgia and the Southwestern will not be included, as they are merely leased lines. The petition, it is said, will rest mainly on the provision of the State constitution, which inhibits the purchase or operation of a competing line by the owners of another. "'Notice.

Kansas is more sinned against than sinning; likewise more lied against than lying. F. D.Coburn, sectetitry of Iter tlepaitment of agriculture, Iims fur years been making a collection of Kansas jokes: as samples of the truly ar tiffie 111 Iie-uiaking he rates the following among the highest: A fanner hud h large crib filled with ear corn, and there was a knothole in the end of the crib. It was struck bv a tornado and it is claimed that the suction was so great that cob after cob was drawn through the hole and the farmer was left with a crib of shelled corn. A man was riding along on l.iiMbark with a jug of whiskey t led with a strap to t he saddle I10111 when a cyclone stttit k him Alter the blow hatl ceased the jug han dle was found inside the jug and the strap was sticking out the noz zle, the jug having been blown in side out without spilling a drop of 1 hi nor. Another caper which this tor nado cut was to blow the sitle whiskers off a tiaveling inau and plant them on the side of a wo man's lace, where they continue to grow. A Kansan abroad recently found a crowd that did not seem to ap preciate his conversation concern ing the conspiracy of the foreigu capitllists to compel the Populist farmers of Kansas to pay their honest debts, so he pulled out bis stock of tornado stories, hoping to attract attention : "I saw a cyclone once," said he, "that picked up a straw stack and moved it a mile aud put it back, straw 011 straw, as it was." Two or three of the auditors yawned and the Kansas man tried it again. "Another time," said he, "I saw a twister suck sixty gallons of mo lasses out of a barrel 111 front of a grocery store aud distribute it to every family in town who hatl a bucket out on the back step for the milk ina 11." He cleared his throat aud began again: "Back in the seveuties we had a terrible cyclone iu western Kansas. It blew the cracks out of the fences, pulled a cistern out of the ground, moved a township Hue and changed the day of the week." . Another man with an unblush ing lace told this story aud ex pected people to believe it : "I was out in Kansas last sum mer, ami the first cyclone of course I went down in the cellar like other folks. The house was soon blown away. The next thing I knew the cellar went, too, rolling over ami over like a silk hat. 1 was soon spilled out. With infinite labor I crawled back iu the teeth of the wind, intending to take refuge 111 the hole the cellar came out of. To mv consternation I found that that had been blowu away also.'' A prominent Kansan is credited with telling t his : "Tell you what's a fact. I have known it to blow twelve days and nights 011 a stretch and hold a sheep up against the sitle of the barn until be starved to death." Piobably the story which better illustrates the position of the Pop ulist farmer in Kansas than any told in recent years is this: Kansas man (visiting in the East) "Yes, sir, Kansas is the country for the farmers. Look at her vast prairies covered with crops so heavy that they make whole counties sink down iu the middle. Look at her corn crop, so vast that it crowded township lines into the river." Same Kansas man (at the Popu list meeting in his own neighbor hood) "Fellow suUerers: Dry weather, Hessiin flies, and gold bugs prey like vampires on our State. Our once fair state is plas tertnl vr wttU mortgages so heavy that we have to bore a hole through them with an augur in order to plant corn. Rouse ye slaves." There has beeu a premium of fered for the capture of the man who started this clever lie: "A Kansas farmer planted his farm in popcorn and gathered it into his bam. The barn took fire, the com popped and filled a ten acre field. His old mare, thinking it a snow storm, lav down and froze to death." In discussing the question in western Kansas not long ago, a citizen front the short grass coun try said: "I think that Kansas is in need of a good deal of irriga tion. There are times when it is so dry in the western part of the State that you hae to soak a hog over night before he will hold swill. There are places where water is wet only on one side. I know a place where the ob iit of a ferry boat hauls water a eleven months in the year to keep his ferry run ning." Here is another drought story told b, a traveling man : "I was driving across the country to a lit tle town iu western Kansas the other day, when I met a farmer hauling a wagon load of water. "Where do vou get water?' said I. UiL'p the road about seven miles,' he replied. "'And you haul water seven miles for your family and stock !' "'Yep.' "'Why in the name of seii.se don't 11 dig a well ?' " 'Because it is just as far one way as another, sti auger.'" The Trne Keniedy. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa. III., Cliiff, says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in bur home, as in it we have a certain cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc " It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at M.trphew & White's. Marion: W. H. Disosway, 0;1 Fort.
