at Chapel Hill, studied law
under Chief Justice Pearson, and com
menced the practice of his profession
in Charlottee in 1842. In 1846 he was
married to Miss Anne Eliza Graham;
she died in 1881. He was at that time
president of Charlotte and Statesville
Plank Road corporation, and built
twenty-five miles of the road. In 1856
he was made president of the Char
lotte and South Carolina Railroad.
He then abandoned the law and turned
his attention to the wider field of rail
road operation. He was notably
successful from the very start, and the
road in his hands prospered. He kept
the line open and battled supplies to
the Confederate army until February
1865, when the Federate destroyed the
road. In the face of seemingly insur
mountable obstacles he constructed the
Columbia and Augusta railroad, and
put it in operation, and did this with
out aid from the State. In 1866 he
rebuilt the Charlotte and South Caro
lina railroad. At that time he had
built and rebuilt, without State aid,
more miles of railroad than any other
man south of the Potomac and the
Ohio.
Governor Ellis in 1861 appointed
him to the position of Commissary
General of the State, to accept which
he resigned his seat in the Secession
convention. At that time the Consti
tution debarred Jews from holding of
fice in the State. He introduced the
ordinance, which pasted the conven
tion, giving them all the rights of citi
zenship. By his financial acumen he
made an arrangement with the Con
federate government by which his
administration as Commissary General
cost the State nothing. After nearly
a year as Commissioner General, he
resigned to resume the management
of the railroad in which he was inter
ested.
At the time of his death his estate
was estimated at $250,000.
TUB FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
A Synopsis of the Proceedings of Both
Houses.
THE SENATE.
SATURDAY.
The resolution offered in the Senate Friday
by Mr. Morgan, (Dem.) of Alabama in rela
tion to the sentence of American citizens
captured on the Competitor in Cuban waters,
was taken up and Mr. Morgan addressed
the Senate thereon. The recent action of
congress, he said, recognizing beliggerency
of the Cubans had not been received by the
Spanish government and people as repre
senting the attitude of the government and
people of the United States on that
subject. In that action congress was not
fixing the status of Cubans, but of cit
izens ofthe United States. Proximity, im
portant commercial relatons, ownership of
valuable property acquired by Americans in
Cuba, and resort of a greater number of Cu
bans to the United States asking hospitality,
created relations of such an intimate nature
with that island that Congress was compelled
to examine into the conditions of that peo
ple, and to determine wh ither they were at
peace or in war. The United States had car
ried out faithfully the neutrality laws, and
had in no way incited or promoted the insur
rection which was attended with such barbar
ities, and which had drawn into its vortex
citizens of the United States, and very impor
rant rights of persons and property.
MONDAY.
The fortifications bill was reported to the
Senate Monday, by Mr. Perkins. The esti
mates for 1897 amounted to $4,045,165. The
House bill carried $5,845,837, to which the
Senate added $4,918,051, making the total
reported to the Senate $10,763,888. The ap
propriation for the current fiscal year is only
$1,945,557. The Senate rejected the nomina
tion of R. A. Freeman to be postmaster at
Burlington, N. C. The Senate confirmed the
nomination of Robert Ransom and Robert
Lee Jenkins te be respectively second secre
tary of legation to Mexico and consul at Pa
tras, Greece.
WEDNESDAY.
Wednesday the Senate passed Senator But
ler's bill for a public building at Durham.
The Senate gave its attention Wednesday to
the District of Columbia appropriation bill,
which, as reported from the appropriations
committee, appropriated abo«v seven million
dollars, of which one-half comes from the
United States treasury and the other half
from taxes collected by the District commis
sioners. A good deal of debate occurred
over the question of charities and hospitals —
the House bill appropriating a bulk sum to
be be distributed under contract with the
existing institutions—and the Senate commit
tee’s amendment striking out that provision
and substituting the usual specific items for
the various hospitals, orphan asylums and
other charitable houses. It was this propo
sition that was sustained by the Senate. The
only two general appropriation bills remain
ing to be acted on by the Senate are the forti
fication bill and the deficiency bill.
THURSDAY.
Thursday in the Senate Senator Pritchard
introduced a bill to increase the pensions of
James H. Kile, also John McGrath; also one
pensioning Cornelia Grant, of Wake. He pre
sented the petition of members of the sixth
district life-saving service asking to be paid
monthly. Senator Butler proposed an
amendment to the deficiency bill, refunding
$187 salt duties to S. R. Fowle.

A TORNADO IN KENTUCKY.
Stores, Churches, Dwellings and
Barns Destroyed.
A cyclone passed over the southwest corner
of Marshall County, Ky., Monday morning.
It demolished one house at Elva and killed
the five occupants, Anderson Johns, aged
80; his wife, aged 55; a son, aged 17, and two
daughters, aged 12 and 10. The storm came
out of Graves County. At Simsonla two
stores, two churches, a school house, several
farm houses and barns were destroyed, but
no loss of life is reported there. Five cofans
were sent to [Elva and the Anderson family
were buried in onegrave.
The tobacco habit grows onia man
until his nervous system is st^riously
affected, impairing health, comfort and
happiness. To quit suddenly is too
severe a shock to the systen>, as to
bacco to an inveterate user becomes a
stimulant that his system continually
craves. “Baco-Ouro” is a scientific
cure for the tobacco habit, in all its
forms, carefully compounded after the
formula of an eminent Berlin physi
cian who has used it in his private
practice since 1872, without a failure.
It is purely vegetable! and guaranteed
perfectly harmless. You can use all
the tobacco you want while taking
“Baco-Curo.” It will notify you when
to stop. We give a written guarantee
to cure permanently any case with
three boxes, or refund the money with
10 per cent, interest. “Baco-Ouro” is
not a substitute, but a scientific cure,
that cures without the aid of will
power and with no inconvenience. It
leaves the system as pure and free
from nicotine as the day you took your
first chew or smoke.

An important and spirited debate tdok
place in the Senate Friday on the bill intro
duced several months ago by Mr. Butler.
Populist, of North Carolina, prohibiting the
issue of government bonds without the con
sent of Congress. Mr. Hill, Democrat, of
New York, spoke for three hours in condem
nation of the measure as an act of repudia
tion; and it wa,s denounced in most emphatic
terms by Senators Sherman, Republican,
of Ohio; Hawley, Republican, of Con
necticut; Lodge, Republican, of Massa
chusetts; Baker, Republican’ of Kansas.
It was defended and advocated by Senator
Mills, of Texas; George,of Mississippi; Clark,
of Wyoming; Teller, Republican, of Colora
do; Allen, Populist, of Nebraska, and Stew
art, Populist, of Nevada. The test vote on
taking it up in the first instance showed a
majority of 14 in its favor, but when it was
displaced by the calendar after two hours’
discussion, and a new vote was required to
take it up again, the majority had dwindled
down to 2. An effort was made to have a
time fixed for taking the vote next Monday
at5 p. m., but objection was made and the
bill went over till Saturday.
Dispatches received from interior points in
Illinois report much damage done by a heavy

At Pekin lightning wrecked the new St.
Paul’s Church, uprooted trees, blew down
fences and unroofed houses. The country
contiguous to To ulon was storm swept and
many farm houses were wrecked.
At Bushnell it was reported that the town
of Scioto had been swept away, out the wires
were down and nothing definite could ns
learned. .
A tornado struck Seneca, Kas., and de
stroyed one-third of the residence portion of
the oity. The court house, school house and
Catholic Church were unroofed. Five hun
dred people are homeless. The dead are two
children of M. E. Verhees, two children of
John McConnell and a son of Peter Asse-
macher. Twenty-five people were Injured
and twenty residences were destroyed by
a tornado at Sabetha, Kas.
Irving Ford Found Guilty.
Irving L. Ford, the negro whose brutal
murder of Elsie Kreglo, a white girl af 16
years, near the Zoologican Park, created a
sensation in Washington and Maryland less
than three weeks ago, was found guilty
Wednesday by the jury after being out seven
minutes.
From hundreds of testimonials, the
originate of which are on file and
open to inspection, the following is
presented :

La Crosse, Wis.—Gentlemen: For
forty years I used tobacco in all its
forms. For twenty-five years of that
time I was a great sufferer from gen
eral debility and heart disease. For
fifteen years I tried to quit, but
couldn’t. I took various remedies,
among others “No-To-Bac,” “The
Indian Tobacco Antidote,” “Double
Chloride of Gold,” etc., etc., but none
of them did me the least bit of good.
Finally, however, I purchased, a box of
your “Baco-Curo” and it has entirely
cured me of the habit in all its forms,
and I have increased thirty pounds in
weight and am relieved from all the
numerous aches and pains Gf body
and mind. I could write a quire of
paper upon my changed feelings apd
condition. Yours respectfully,

State Farms in Fine Condition.
Superintendent Leazar, of the State
Peritentiary was on a visit to the new
State farms in Anson county near
Wadesboro. He says work is progress
ing finely on all the State’s plantations.
Thirty or forty new convicts will be
sent to re-inforce the force at upper
farms on the Roanoke. “We have
done so far with our men and mules
about twice as much work this year as
in any previous season,” Mr. Leazar
said, “and the crops are in better con
dition than they ever were before. The
dry weather instead of retarding cotton
and corn has proven a benefit. Wheat
and oats have been affected by drought,
but rain will do them no good now, as
they are heading. If we have fair
conditions of weather, the State farms
will produce the largest crop in their !
history.
THE HOUSE.
MANDAT.
While Monday was suspension day in the
House the greater part of the session was ex
pended in the passage of thirty-five pension
bills reported from Friday night’s session
and to passage of bills under unani
mous consent, including the following:
Granting a site to the city of Biloxi, Miss., for
a charity hospital; incorporating the Society
of Colonial Dames; authorizing the loan or
donation of condemned cannon to Grand
Army posts; to compel the attendance of
witnesses before local land officers.
WEDNESDAY.
The House Tuesday passed the resolution
reported by committee on elections, No. 1,
confirming the title of W. C. Owens, Demo
crat, to the seat.he occupies as a Represen-
tive from the 7th district of Kentucky, which
had been contested by George Denny, Jr.,
Republican. It also passed a resolution
from the same committee providing'for a re-
count of the ballots cast for Congressman in
the 16th Illinois district at the November
election, 1894, in the contest of Rinaker ver
sus Downing, for the seat from that district.
The remainder ofthe day was taken up by
argument upon the several bills reported
from the committee on immigration and
naturalization.
THURSDAY.
By a vote of 196 to 47 the House Thursday
passed over the President’s veto the bill
granting a pension of $50 a month to
Francis E. Hoover, late of the Twenty-third
Indiana Regiment of Volunteers. A debate
of two hours preceded the vote, Mrs. Kirk
patrick, Republican, of Kansas; Wood. Re
publican, of Illinois, and Hill. Republican,
of Deleware, advocating the bill, and Messrs!
Erdman, Democrat, of Pennsylvania; Loud,
Republican, of California, and Bartlett,
Democrat, of Georgia, in favor of sustaining
the veto. All the Populists and Republicans
generally voted for the bill and the Demo
crats against it. The following Republicans,
however, voted to sustain the veto: Messrs.
Loud, of California; Raney, of Missouri;
Quigg and Wadsworth, of Now York, and
the following Democrats to pass the bill:
Messrs Cockrell, of Texas; Cummings, of
New York; Layton and Sorg, of Ohio, and
Stokes, Strait and Talbert, of South Caro
lina.
The labor commission bill, discussion of
which was begun Thursday has apparently
failed this session. The rule providing for
the consideration of the bill excepted confer
ence reports on appropriation bills from its
operation and Friday’s session was exhaus
ted by measures of this character. The first
was the report of the partial agreement on
the river and harbor appropriation bill. It
met the vigorous opposition of Dockery,
Democrat, of Missouri, and Hepburn, Repub
lican, of Iowa, but despite their eloquent de
nunciation of the iniquity of the bill the
port was agreed to by a vote of 189 to 56.

value of Southern school property is also
shown to have increased at the same time
from $16,000,000 to $51,000,000, and the
amount expended for educational purposes
in the South for the same period foots up
$320,000,000. These figures speak volumes
for the educational interest of the South, and
future compilations will'show a still greater
advance. Twenty years of progress and en

South in all such mutters is forging ahead at
