Buyer "Well, you have got the worst bale of cotton I have seen this year. What will you take for it?'' Seller" ." Buyer "I guess you would.

In the days when the Buford Hotel was run by Mr. George Scoville, Henry Lede rer's name was a familiar one to habitues of the hotel.

Every One Delighted With the Play Last Evening. Every one who saw Wilfred Clarke last night came away enthusiastic "Tit-for-Tat" is full of amusing situations and Mr. Clarke and his company master them to perfection. Mr. Clarke is an accomplished actor; in fact so real a one that his audience forgets that it is fiction which he is interesting them with. He is no "grand stand player," but a genuine actor, and carries his crowd right along with him. He captivated his audience last night. . The whole cast is good, but next to Mr. Clarke, Miss Sophie Albert's acting deserves mention. She was fine in every situation. Her every movement was that of an accomplished actress. Mr. Clarke was to have closed his en gagement to-night, presenting "Little Butterfly," bat as it is Good Friday he was prevailed upon to postpone his date until the 30jh, when he will return, and give "Little Butterfly," After the play the company, by invita tion, repaired to Mr. j. Hirshinger's, where a lunch was given in honor of Mr. Clarke and Mies McCall.

Mr. Brown made at him and gave him several licks with his fist. As he struck him the last time the negro went at him with his knife and buried it in his hand. That ended the "mens."

The Richmond & Danville Railroad will run special trains to and from the ball park to-morrow.

It consisted simply of a rough box, some pieces of elder wood for a worm, an or dinary dinner pot and a few other trifles. It was placed beside a runniDg brook to keep it from burning.

The Manufacturers' Record Says an Era oi Great Prosperity Is Approaching. Baltimore, Md., March 22. The Manufacturers' Record, in reviewing the business in the South for the week says Reports from all parts oi tne boutn in dicate that the general business outlook is very promising, though the volume of trade does not yet show any very large increase. But if judged by the south ward trend of capital and immigration and by the evidence in the organization of new enterprises, the South ia entering upon the most solidly prosperous era of its history. The immigration movement especially is one of the most noticeable signs of the list and throughout the north and West the desire to move South seems to be as suming proportions of national impor tance. Special reports from New England show more disposition than ever before to invest in Southern cotton mills and a manufacturer of that section tells the Manufacturers' Record that a number of large mills will be built in the South by New England people. Among the more important industrial enterprises reported for the week are a company, capitalized at f o,ouu,uou, to build a town and develop shipping facili ties on Patuxent River, Md.; a $100,000 company organized to ship barytes from Blacksburg, 8. C, to Baltimore, where a large manufacturing plant will be estab lished, and others. The Manufacturers' Record has com", piled the statistics of manufacturers ot the South in 1890 as compared with 1880, which shows an increase in capital from $257,244,566 in 1880, to $659,008,817 in 1890, and an increase in the value of pro duct from $457,452,777 in 1880 to $917,- 589.045 in 1890. The nnmber of hands increased from S05.467 to 588,523. and the amount of their wages from $75,917,471 to $222,118, 505 Adding to the value of manufac turing products, the value of mining pro duct and the total lor the south in 1890, was $940,000,000, or more than two and a half times as much as the average value of the South' s cotton crops. BJCSDERSOX'S SPEECH. It Commaatda XtaalX to Hla Faople Ja Bet - Day tm Ballabary. ... - Special to the Observer. ' " : - -- Salxsbtxbt, March 22. Hon. John 8. Henderson's speech in the House on Wednesday, published In to-day's Her ald, denouncing the spy system as In op eration against the distillers in North Carolina and Virginia and defending their cause, will meet with general ap probation throughout his district, if not throughout the State. It is strong and convincing and to the point, showing a thorough understanding of the situation and a zeal and earnestness on Mr. Hen derson's part in a j ust and righteous cause The Democrats here have become tired and disgusted with the spy system the seizure of whiskey on the slightest irreg ularities, of a merely technical order, and will receive Mr. Henderson's denun ciation wth much pleasure. This alone, if there were no other reasons, should insure him a seat in the next Congress. That the revenue laws are iniquitous goes without denial, and as administered are things to be despised and hated. The people generally are not in sympathy with the system, and anything to reduce its severity will be greeted with much favor. The thermometer registered 88 degrees here to-day. A negro woman who had been wash ing for Mrs. Doyle, a dressmaker here, after finishing her work to-day came in and received her pay and noticing where Mrs. Doyle placed her pocket book waited a favorable opportunity and stole it. She secured the contents and made her escape. A Small Hickory Fire Entertainments, Been and to Be. Correspondence of the Observer. Hiceo&t, March 21.
