Sawyer, always alive to North Carolina industries, has a large stock of Acme Matting, made by the Acme Company, near Wilming ton, of what is kuown as pine-straw, the leaf of the "Long-leaf pine," which abounds in E tstern Carolina. This company has long been en gaged in making a superior and popular stun of these pine leaves for mattresses, cushions, fcc., the well- known medicinal virtues of the pine giving these products special value. In addition to the mattresses, fec, they conceived the idea of making a matting for floors; and their suc cess has been far beyond expecta tion, as to durability f texture, aroma, beauty, and cleanliness. It is this mattinsr Sawvear now offers 0,all and get a supply. Judge -J a Mica H- "The Greenville N. C. Reflector says: Everybody is praising Judge Merrimon for the able manner in which he presides over our courts, and for his unswerving adherence to the law. He goes for offenders in no uncertain way, and convinces them that violators of the law may expect the prescribed penalty to be imposed upon them, ibis has a good effect. We have frequently noticed where those wearing the ju dicial ermine were entirely too leni ent, and let offenses pass with the slightest punishment admissable. such penalties nave no tendency to decrease crime, but rather, dis miss whatever fears offenders might have against repetition of violations. Not so with Judge Merrimon, and though this is only 'the second court he has held here, his dealings with criminals has already produced such an effect ato be felt throughout the county. A marked decrease in crime is perceptible. Nortn Caroli na needs more such judges as James H. Merrimon." Death of Mr. Henry C. Ednsy. Our community was shocked Sun day by the announcement that the above gentleman was dead, he hav ing died suddenly about one o'clock p. m. of that day. Mr. Edney was about 45 years of age, not married, a genial, whole-souled, honest man. Early in the war he entered the con federate army, and throughout that struggle stood to his post, doing all duty required of him, winning tbe highest estimate ot -hia olncent and comrades for his cool -bravery, and sterling " qualities. He leaves ' a mother, and three sisters, reace to his ashes 1 He had his faults, but they were only against himself, not against his lellow man. His heart was ever in bis band, and that which he had was ever ready for his friend. The great God of us all will look kindly upon a man of such hones-, ty, such kindness ot nature, such innocense of a purpose to do wrong. We sincerely sympathize with bis friends and family.

VISITORS THERE MANNING'S SUCCESSOR AND THE ASSIST ANT SECRETARY A HEAVY WEIGHT WOMAN FIGURES AS A POLITICAL REMINISCENCE. From onr Special Correspondent. Wabhinstor, D. C, April 1, 1887. Editors Citizen: Mr. W. S. Primrose, of Raleigh, Mr. H. E. Fries, of Salem, and Dr. Dabney, of the Agricultural Department, were In Washington this week. They are out on a canvassing tour in the interest of the proposed Agricultural College and Industrial School for North Carolina,, and before they return will visit a ruunber of in stitotions of this cheracterto-the North and West. -They spent severali days at tbe Industrial School of Virginia before they come to Washington, and left here to-day Tor Michigan. The btate is to be congratulated upon securing the services of these gentlemen, for they are the right men in - the right place."- Mr. Primrose as President and Mr. Fries aa becre'ary of thejate State Exposition, in theii successful efforts with that enter prise, demonstrated bevond a doubt their fitness for this undertaking, The Treasury Department has a vent- able head at last. Mr. Fairchild was appointed to-day as Mr. Manning's suc cessor and immediately entered upon tbe discharge of the duties of the office as Secretary he having been in charge as Acting Secretary for nearly all the time for the past twelve months, it has been generally conceded ever since Mr. Man ning resigned that Mr. fairchild would get the place and tbe public generally seems to be well pleased, Mr. Cleveland perhaps could have gained more political influence by appointing some one who has been long identified in politics and who has been posing before the public as a statesman, but he could not have selec ted a man more eminently qualified for tbe place and one who will give more general satisfaction as a national financi er during the remainder of this adminis tration. Mr. Fairchild is in full accord with the administration and demonstra ted a rare efficiency as a Treasury official while assistant and acting secretar,. He was trained in a good school with Sam- u -1 J, - l(en as instructor; for while Tilde? . ) Governor of New York Fairchilu i.2s Attorney-General of the State. Judge Maynard, who was appointed Assistant Secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Fair child has been in the Department as Second Comptroller since June, 1885,and is regarded as a good man for tbe place. He is also from .New xork, and at tbe time of bis appointment was serving in that State as First Deputy Att'j Gen eral. The new Secretary and Assistant threw open the doors of their spacious offices on the South wins nf kv.JMg ttsbi sftvrn-jon and received the tuiplcn -eesofthe Department. Almost every one of the two thousand officers and clerks filed in and tendered congratula tions and well wishes. Your correspon dent turned to one corner of the room to shake the cordial band of the Second Assistant Secretary, Ex-Gov. Thomson. of South Carolina, who was a quiet but seemingly an interested specator at the reception- Just then a heavy built, rath-! er lady elderly passed by to tender, her congratulations to the new appointees. She would evidently tip the scales in the neighborhood of 2UC, wore a neat and becoming suit with rather dashy fixings about her short neck, kept one eye on a " Ink .tnrl iiV.nH . bosom, and stepped as light and boquet of jacque minots which adorned brisk as though she wished to attract some attention. She was the wife of ex Gov. Moses, of South Carolina, and bas been a clerk in the Treasury De partment for a number ef years. This recalled the days of mis-rule and carpet bag oppression in our sister State, and also recalled the fate ol her husband who was in those days a leading figure in that State. He is now wearing out a prolonged existence in the penitentiary hospital at Boston. A friend ef mine who saw him recently says he is quite broken down physically and that be is almost an object of pity. Tbe officials say he bat a tendency to consumption, but others say this was caused by exces sive ute of opium, to which he had been addicted for many years. J. B. X. Ah Ex-Governor Dying m Prison. In a Massachusetts hospital, ill with gen eral debility, is another famous convict. His name is Moses, ex-Governor Mo6es, of South Carolina. This old culprit is pretty well broken down physically. He is an object of pity, for if be were set loose to-day he would be utterly unable to do any thaig for himself. He is a man of medium height, with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. The officials say he has a consumptive tendency. Some one asked him a few days ago what was tbe cause of the breaking up of bis health. He replied that it v. as the effect of opium, to which he had been aaaictea for many years, l bis may - explain for consumption. ' - The Florida Senatorial race is be tween Gov. Perry, Wm.

Ripley carries us back to the day of the struggle in the Charleston harbor. He was the first officer of military education who address ed himself to its defense. Anderson destroyed the offensive power of Fort Moultrie when he removed to Sumter. Ripley put it in fighting trim with won derful energy. The writer happened to be present when Ripley asked of Gov. Pickens to .exercise his men at the guns- and burn a little powder. The refusal was persistent and I could not but smile when Ripley carried his point, which he did by saying that he had some daniagj1" -"wr2rtoflB ed powder, s wbje&it would- Vaot-W weilt . Fr?aldtent agamst hf recent fi ealn i-;- r i ' Ai . I onnniritrnarit A IKa.!. TJT It to rely, on inaction. Perhaps the next day, having gone with Genl Beauregard uown Argni aonse iniet, past Black Is land to Morris Island, we were surprised as we rode up the beach by the display u'jui luuuiifjc, cruiu ngm . to leit the guns flashed out with rapidity and regularity as if its old well trained gar rison was there. It showed that a mas ter mind and willing hands bad been at work. The damaeed powder plainly said "Fort Moultrie is ready." From thence on Ripley applied his wonderful powers physical and mental to the work or defense. When years after and the fearful attack of the iron clads had been sustained, the most perfect thing to be praisea seemed to be the men and offi cers engaged. Gen'l Beauregard did well when he extolled them, ' ut to many of us be seemed strangely to forget thp officer who had formed them. To their honor be it said thev themselves never forgot him. Should his body come by sea as it passes among the forts and through the harbor, so long the scene of his successful labors it will move to be met by men as true to him as he was to them. No prouder Arc of triumph was ever raised fhan that of the harbor en trance to Charleston will ever be for Ripley. No soldier of the war will move along a fitter pathway to his resting place than he. It is allowable for military men to be ambitious. Some think it necessary that they should be and so it comes to pass that many there are who in the divide of the laurels cease to be just In nothing was GenT Ripley's character naore marked than this. He gave perfect credit to those under him or about him. lo a remark miule tl it no one in the war had gained a better reputa tion man Major ne replied " reputation be hanged." tie has done better than that, "ne bas done good." The delicacy w.th which he made those be would commend feel it, was something not looked for from one of his strone make and often loud voice more of the Saxon than tbe Norn,an in him. I could always see more ui n o aeiicaie loan tne rough after I noticed his clear blue eyes full as he spoke of tbe sickness and death of two or three of his men: early in the war. T the last he never spoko of frfenihiVuo in Virginia, out with softened tones n.nd vtr sad ones. Biowly and sadly lay him down Near the scene of his work long ago. Stouter defender ne'er stood by the land, Truer friend never gave grasp of the hand. - L. M. H. A Ministerial Opponent ot Prohibition. It has so often happened that ministers have been conspicuous in their advocacy of prohibition that the sight of one opposing it is a nov elty. Rev. John- Snyder, however, appears in the April number of the Forum in a strong paper against prohibition. He states his conclusion well thus: "In the minds of thoughtful peo ple, then, are we not abundantly justified in our conviction that the cause ot temperance has grown as rapidly a any other social reform in this country?
