Post of March 19th, 1884, and was Inserted by Mr. Flnley, and was not an advertisement: For the past eight years I had been not only a great sufferer, but entirely disabled, getting about on crutches with difficulty. A little over a year age I began the use of Mrs. Joe Person's Celebrated Scrofula Remedy. Have used 28 bottles, and now I can walk without crutches with ease and feel that I am on the road to renewed health. My case was a bad one, and had resisted the best medical treat ment so long that I had little hope of recovery. I therefore take pleasure In giving my testimony to the ralue of Mrs. Joe Person's great Scrofula Rem edy. Signed, A. L. FIJfLET. rr sale by Joh listen fc Grant, Druggists, Marlon, N. C.

The extensive cotton. mills of the A. Campbell Manufacturing Com-' pany at Manayunk, Pa., employing 700 hands, will be closed within two weeks, Mr. Campbell assigning as a reason overproduction and the com petition that has grown up in the South, where, he says, the cheaper labor has made the Southern jnills formidable contestant in the cotton trade. One by one jthe Northern mills are surrendering to the inevita ble. While Northern mills have been suspending, Southern mills have in creased in amazing numbers, and notwithstanding the enormous in crease, as business investments they seem to yield not only reasonable but handsome profits. And thus far the Southern mills have confined them selves to the coarser grades of goods, and consequently the Northern mills have had practically no competition in the finer grades. But the time is not far distant when the Southern mills will be supplied with the skilled labor and be equipped with the ma chinery necessary to the manufac ture of all the finer grades, and then the Northern mills must meet compe tition in these lines where heretofore they have had the field all to them selves. Then the pinch and the crash will come with them,for as they have had to surrender on the coarser grades so will they also have to sur render on the finer, for the same con ditions that enable the Southern mills to lead in the competition of one will enable them to lead in the other. With the number of mills already in existence in the North, and the annually increasing number in the South, with the largely in creased product, business will neces sarily be done on a close margin, and that section which has the advantage in the first cost of the raw material, the ready market fer consumption, the cheaper labor, the climatic and ther incidental advantages will nat urally and inevitably take the lead. It is only a question of time and of capital, which commands the labor and supplies the machinery. Capital goes where there is the best prospect of return, and cares nothing for sec tional or geographical lines. It has neither sentiment, nor sectional or State feeling. It is governed by buginess principles, and its inspiring rotive is dividends. When it is de monstrated that there is more money in manufacturing cotton in the South than in the North, the capital will come to manufacture it. And the Northern manufacturer who cares to continue in the business will move his plant nearer the cotton fields that he may enjoy the better advantages there presented. Twenty-five years hence cotton manufacturing will be as small an industry in the Northern States as twenty five years ago it was in the South. The conditions will be reversed. Massachusetts has bien carrying in her statute books for twenty-nine years a series of know-nothing reso lutions passed by her Legislature in 1855. Last session one of the Boston amateur statesmen discovered that they had never been rescinded, and he at once introduced a resolution for tht purpose. Another member then proposed a resolution recalling Roger Williams from banishment. The JCxposition Cotton Mills, of At lanta, Ga., reports net earnings for its first six months' operations, end ing with March 31, of 8r,"per cent. Four per cent of this was paid in div idends, and the remainder placed to the surplus account. Considering the stagnation in the cotton industry, the directors exhibit a pardonable pride in boasting of the result. A Chicago company has recently purchased 800 acres of land in North Georgia containing marble quarries, their intention being to work the marble extensively. In addition to this purchase they have secured a lease on 4, 000 acres more. The marble has been subjected to all the tests, and is said to be of a very superior quality. . . . The Leeislature of Maryland has passed an act requiring that people who deal in oleomargarine, butterine, &c, must sell them as oleomargarine and butterine, that they must be kept distinctly labeled or marked as such, and not be palmed off on the public as butter, under penalty of fine and imprisonment. The Boston Post, the leading Dem ocratic paper in New England, nomi nates Thomas F. Bayard for Presi dent, and Joseph E. McDonald for Vice President, which, by the way, is no slouch ticket. Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, be sides his salary of $5,000 as United States Senator, has an income of $50,000 a year from his law practice. The report that there has been a reconciliation between Conkling and Blaine is denied. When the former was recently asked about it he simply gesticulated an emphatic negative. Chattanooga, Tenn., was left a wreck by the war. In 1867 it had not a wholesale house. - Iron mills and furnaces began in 1371. In 1882 the population was 6,000, now 24,000; manufacturing capital in 1880, $2,789, 000; in ifeS4, $4,000,000. Senator Ingalls says that it is only a question of time when the Ameri can flag will float over the whole con tinent, and that the annexation of Mexico will be one of the logical re sults of the passage of the reciprocity treaty. Ingalls has somewhat expan sive ideas. GRANT HAVING A GOOD TIME. Everybody's Friend, But Jlot Regard ing Himself as a Presidential Candi date. Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times. General Grant is having a good time while he convalesces. He talks Eolitics as glibly as he used to talk orse. As everybody's friend he acts the character admirably. Per sons who have heard him talk have listened in vain for some reference to reports that he contemplates the possibility of a turn of the wheel that will insure him once more the Presidential prize. He seems purposely to avoid the subject, lie has not been to the!White House, but that is less the subject of remark than Arthur's visit of an hour to him. Whatever is destined to be, the present fact is that where one man a week ago favored Grant's nom ination dozens are outspoken te day. '"Grant and Lincoln" has got into many mouths that have been silent. Grant preaches up Logan everywhere but no name is ever coupled with his for the second place. Whenever Lincoln's name is spoken of in that quarter it is second to Grant. It is to be observed that Logan, though a jealous man, manifests no displeas ure at the frequency of Grant's name or the rumor that Grant has an eye on the main chance. Logan is said to regard his third term in the Senate as assured by his Presidential can vass. A veteran .observer on the lookout declares that Grant will bo the residuary legatee of both Arthur and Logan, and talks knowingly of the mysteries of uninstructed dele gates in Northern States and a nearly solid Southern vote for Arthur. WHAT IS WEARING APPAREL! A Decision Favorable to Travellers Re turning from Abroad. A question of considerable interest to travellers returning from abroad, namely, what constitutes wearing ap parel in actual use which by law is exempted from duty, was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States Monday in the case of William Astor, plaintiff in error, against Ed win A Merritt, collector in error to the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff in error, a citizen of the United States, arrived home from a visit to Europe at the end of Septem ber, with his family, by vessel, and brought with him wearing apparel bought aboard for his and their use, to be worn here during the season then approaching, not excessive in quantity for persons of their means, habits and station in life and their ordinary outfit for the winter. Part of the articles had not been worn and duties were exacted on all these articles. This court holds that under Section 2,505 of the Revised Statutes exempting from duty "wearing appa rel in actual use and other personal effects no5 merchandise, " the proper rule to be applied was to exempt from duty such articles as fulfilled the following conditions : First, wear ing apparel, owned by the passenger and in a condition to be worn at once without further manufacture. Sec ond, brought with him as a passen ger and intended for the use or wear of himself or his family who accom panied him as passengers, and not for sale or purchased or imported for other persons or to be given away. Third, suitable for the season of the year which was immediately ap proaching at the time of the arrival; and fourth, not exceeding in quanti ty, quality or value what the passen ger was in the habit of ordinarily providing for himself and his family at that time and keeping on hand for his and their reasonable wants in view of their means, habits and sta tion in life, even though such articles had not been actually worn. The judgment of the Circuit Court is therefore reversed and the cause re manded with instructions to award a new trial. Opinion by justice Blatch ford. A Southern Woman's Success, The Nashville American says that Miss V. H. McRae, daughter of Col. Duncan K. McRae, of North Caro lina, and sister-in-law of Judge S. P. Walker, of Memphis, is business manager of the New York agency of the Remington type-writer, and has fifteen young ladies under her em ploy. Her father was once the Ameri can consul at Paris. A gentleman who recently paid a visit to New York for the purpose of purchasing a type-writer, called on Miss McRae, and was delighted to find her an unassuming lady of pleas ing appearance, about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age, and not at all inclined to be "strong minded." Being asked to give a history or her efforts to gain a livelihood, Miss Mc Rae, without hesitation, said that owing to her father's reverses she felt it her duty to provide for herself, and to do so learned type-writing. As business increased she hired girls to assist her, and bought more machines; and after a time the com oanv eave her the agency for the city ; that now she had fifteen girls employed constantly, and sold more machines than their general agent did, and that if her health was spared she felt sure she would make a tor tune, that she had vet never lost a client. Miss McRae springs from one of the oldest and proudest families in North Carolina, and her success in battling against the world in the great city of New York is a surpris ing illustration of what a Southern girl can do even under the most ad verse circumstances.

QUESTION AS TO THE REPUBLI CAN PROGRAMME. Sentiment Against Abolition I the Whit-key Tax The Wool Duty not to be Restored John Sherman to Start Another Investigation Tbe President and not the Southern W hites the Object. Correspondence of The Observer. Washington, April 8. Some of the Republican leaders have had their eyes on Judge Fowle as candidate for the position of Governor. While his name has been called again and again, nothing like a boom has yet been started. Price, who was here last week, spoke fully of the propo sition to nominate Fowle if that gen tleman would accept. He seemed to think that it all depended on his ac ceptance. Nothing definite is known of his intentions. Meantime York is making himself somewhat conspicu ous in Congress in hope of the nomi nation. Mott is again on hand. These leaders Mott. Price and others have been flitting in and out all the winter, gathering crumbs of counsel and something more sub stantial. I understand that John Sherman, in his abounding love for the Admin istration, has prepared a rod for Mr. Arthur anent the North Carolina nominations. He will seek to learn why the President has violated exist ing law, which requires that within thirty days from the time of a re f usal by the Senate to confirm an appointment another nomination shall be made. Much more than that time has elapsed since the rejection of Keogh and over a month since the failure to confirm Wheeler. It is suggested that a first-class impeach ment could be started, if honest John could not be induced to see how great a discomfiture he is receiving in the Danville investigation. On Phil Thompson's resolution de claring it to be the sense of the House that it would be unwise and inexpedient for the present Congress to reduce the internal tax on whiskey North Carolina voted as one man in opposition. Gen. Cox managed the negative debate, seconded by Dr. York. The latter tried to ring in his revenue bill as a substitute. The 33 negative votes on the resolution were from North Carolina, Virginia, Geor gia, Tennessee, and a few Randall men from other States. The proposi tion was intended to clear away the brush from before the Morrison bill, which, Mr. Morrison announced, this afternoon, would be brought up for consideration Tuesday of next week. The limit of what will be done is found in the caucus action of the other day. The House and the coun try are unequivocally opposed to the total abolition of the internal reve nue at present. Our people in North Carolina should understand this. Mr. Randall's peculiar friends are no more in favor of it than others, as the vote on Thompson's resolution shows. Most of the 33 votes in oppo sition were from the South and were Democrats and revenue reformers. Mr. Converse's long-deferred bill to restore the high duty of 1867 on wool was not only in the vocative to day on the motion (which required two thirds) to suspend the rules and pass, but it was positively eight votes short of a majority. This is not re garded as a full test of the strength of the tariff bill, for several members who will not support the latter meas ure voted against restoring the duty. Hurd's speech was clear, cogent and ringing. It was loudly applauded on the Democratic side, while all the ap plause Converse's reply received came from the Republicans. Once a year or ottener the .National Republican reorganizes. By the latest change Mr. Secretary Chand ler steps down and out. Hatton re mains. The concern does not pay even as a whooper-up. Oov.

Morgan, of Ala bama, to taw" tor some remarks which were understood to be deroga- torv to the two Senators from North Carolina. Morgan explained, but it is understood that the Senators are not satisfied. Dr. Capehart, proprietor of one of the great fisheries on Albemarle Sound, has sent the North Carolina Senators and some other friends a large box of rock fish, of which some or the recipients spealc with entnusi asm.
