Illness of the Hon. C. G. Memmingeb.
In the Keu-s and Courier of the 31st we
rind the following distressing informa
tion of a gentleman widely known
through he South and honorably re
membered as the Secretary of the Treas
ury of the Confederate States. -
From the great age of the gent le
man, very little hope of recovery can be
entertained. The AVic ajtd Courier says
"The Hon. C G. Memminger is not ex
pected lo live. For several days he lias
been lying at the point of death at hia
summer home at Hat Rock, N. C. His
son, Dr. Allard Memminger, of this city,
and Dr. King are doing all that profes
sional skill can accomplish to relieve his
sufferings, but it is not expected that he
can recaver.
"Letters received this morning by
members of his family in Charleston le
port that he is gradually sinking, and in1
telligence of his death may be had at any
hour.
'Mr. Memminger is now in the 85th
year of bis age. He has had a Ipng .and
eventful life. His death would oe a sore
loss to the community."
J udson College.
We call attention to the advertisement
of this institution in this -issue. The
next session begins on the 19th iust., and
we take pleasure in urging upon the pub
lic generally, and more particularly upon
the denomination nnder whose auMpices
it has its being, to come to its support,
strengthen its bands, foster its growth,
and make it such an institution as it aims
to be, but car only be through adequate
patronage.
It '"s even now in a rondition gratify
ing and encouraging to its friends. The
hopeful spirit which sustaiued it in its
earlier and harder struggles has been re-
arded with such results a justly crown
palinnt labor and hopeful expectation ;
and year by year, as successive streams
of graduates pour forth from its walls to
enter upon the duties of life, the thor
oughness of their equipment illustrates
the copiousness and excellence of the
lountaiu from which the inspiration was
drawn.
There is a feature in Judson College
peculiar to it, in this State, so far as we
remember. This is the co education of
the sexes. This system is finding its
approval among the 'm?s observant and
sagacious of educators, iheenect upon
tbe young man is to renne as wen as to
stimulate ambition not to be surpassed
by the weaker sex; and upon tbe young
womau. having access to the same sources
of mental food and training, to make her
education as full, and as vigorous as that
of tbe voung man, at the same time
preserving to herself all tboe resources
of feminine accomplishment, music and
the pursuit of the arts.
Another feature giving advantage to me
young man is tbe commercial Uepait
ment. In this the course is full and tho
rough, with no pretence that competency
can be acaaired in two months, but only
in tho time that common sense and ex-
rxrience nrove to be necessary.
But we will say no more.' We hone
our readers, those interested ia the sub
ject, will take the same view we do, and
give Judson College the support it d
serves.

PLEASANT REMINISCENCES.
i . Bbistol, Tens., Sig- 26, 1887.
Editor Citizen j I have read,: with
more than ordinary interest, teveral
numbers of your excellent paper which
I have been receiving r ularly every
week. S : -4' -: "
Torn miles South of Fianklln, in tbe
old volunteer county of Macon, among the
cleverest people, it seems o ij&in the
woild, I was born, and raL . And while
I cast my lot witb tbe peope of the great
commonwealth of Tennessee, yet for
North Carolina, her sons, and her daugh
ters, I retain the warmest feeljng of in
terest and friendship. -"'' -
In the year 18G1 I spent several months
with the 39th N. CLlafantrJi jlGeL Bavid
Coleman, than whom no bi t.ver man haa
eyer lived) in what was tht u the beauti
ful quiet tillage of Ashevill4i . The kind
ness I received at the hand, of her citi
zens! will always mark one of the most
pleasant periods in the his. i".' oT my -life.
Asheville then was a nrfjf ,i,sy tow,
wuh no railroad1 t.icfc.-Tx
common in that tbe worsTtWdirt roads.
Yet ber people seemed happy and pros
perous, notwithstanding tbe country was
then involved in the bloodiest war that
ever ma.ked the pages of history.
About one year ago I visited Aiheville
again for thelirst time since the war, and
imagine my surprise to find Asheville
spread all over the hills thatstiironnded
what wa the small country town in 1SGI ,
with first class railroad facilities, and
graded roads, with every department of
industry being pushed by men of capital
and the highest grade of businessqualiS
CLtions. Plucky little Asheville She
deserves all she has attained and mure;
for a more generous, open handed, warm
hearted people never lived.
You have, Messrs. Editors, it seems to
me the finest climate in the world, and
the healthy location of your city, coupled
with your climate, . railroad facilities
and other natural advantages make Ashe
ville one of the most desirable spots on
earth.
The prominent characteristics thai
maik the people of East Tennessee and
Western North Carolina are much the
same in every essential particulars. The
resources of the two sections are much
the same,and need to be bound togeth
er, by more railroads and the introduc
tion, of more capital, to develop tbe coun
try and unite our people whose common
interest seem to be so interwoven as to
be inseparable.
It is gratifying to see that your pros
pects for more railroads are so flattering,
and you may keep an eye North of you,
tor lennessen will soon want to invade
your soil with a line of roads, reaching
from Danville, Virginia, via Bristol, and
on, to connect with vour system ot roads
at ishevUle.
Our city, you know, is located on the
line dividing Tennessee from Virginia.
A epu-ndid railroad, (tbe s. A. A O.) is
being rapidly constructed from this point
to Big Stone Gap (or Mineral City) peniv
tratingthe finest coal fields in the south.
80 that soon we will be free from coal
monopolies. Big Stone Gap fjcius destin
ed to become a railroad Center, from
which railroads will radiateito many im
portant-points in the-'SdCph, and' you
need not be surprised to find Asbevill.-,
in a Jew years connected with the coal
helds of Southwest Virginia by a direct
line of railroad' from vonr citv. Here
business seems to be prosperous and our
city is rapidly growing to a place of im
portune?, especially to manufacturers, on
account of oar close proximity 10 the
finest coal for coking purposes, in the
South. You have the iron in all its
varieties We have both the iron, and
the coal. East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina abound with the finest
cative forest timber in the world. So
that East Tennessee sends greeting to 'he
sons of North Carolina, ami we assure
you that in your prosperity w 11-joioe,
and will do so all the more when the
day shall come when we shall he closer
united in the bondd of a common
brotherhood. But I am admonished
that editors have what is called a waste
basket-, so allow me to invito yo;i to visit
the bordi.-r city, and p-cnuit us to extern!
to yon a real Tennesson welcome, and the
hospiuiiues of the city on the line.
Hoping soon to meet many familiar

New Orleans, Sept. 1. Mr. J.
H. Patterson, a passenger on the
strainer Knickerbocker which arrived
her j yesterday from New York sev
eral days over due, says the staem
er encountered a gale early on the
morning of the 23rd ult which soon
developed into a cyclone of great
rapidity. The storm continued 48
hours during which time everybody
thought the ship would go to pieces.
The ship was blown three hundred
miles out of her course. The pipe

delayed 48 hours, going under sail.
During the cyclone water broke
over the ship and at one time there
was considerable water in the engine

More Brutality to Convicts.
By teleerapn to the Asheville Citizen I
Chicago. Sept. 1, A Times spe
cial from Atlanta, Ga., says : "Gov.
Gordon has received information
from tbe Dodge Company of a case
oi brutality to convicts in the De
gees camp which has been un
earthed ty the Dodge county grand
jury ' At that camp hlty convicts
are worked, the superintendents
name is Bryant. One ot tbe con
victs wasi made to work by -fire. He
complained of being sick, but with
lashes Bryant compelled him to
keep at work, until at last the con
vict fell dead at his feet. The grand
jury has indicted Bryant lor mur
der, but he heard of it and escaped
into Alabama. Th other convicts
were equally bad-iy treated. An
other cat e was that of a negro who es
caped from the camp. The managers
supposed that he would make his
escape by railroad and sent a guard
to intercept him. The guard went
to the cut bel-tw the station where
theie had been ah old mill. -After
some lime they heard the clanking
ot eh iiiis and knew that the negro
was coining. The negro came in
Wjfl-t and was whot dead. The guard
said he halted the negro and he
ran. l'hii) statement was con-ro
verled by the fact that every shot
was fired into the negroe's breast in
front.

declined to say what the percentage
