The culture of upland rice in Wake
county was begun last seaien, as an ex
periment by Mr. H. E. Norns. He tell
me that but for th great August freshet
he would have mad 4.000 bushels. As
it was he has threshed 973. Its grade is
very fine. He has been offered (1 05
per bushel for it. Next season consider
able rice will be planted in the upland
section.
So says the Raleigh Dispatch corres
pondent. There is general misapprehen
sion in regard to the culture of this
staple. It if limited, in popular a prehen
sion to wet lands and tide water. Such
in fact are the localities for the product
of the best varieties. Btv there is no
thing more flexible inilsl abits than the
rice plant. It is adapted equally to
marsh land and the mountain side. Its
varieties are infinite. In the island of
Manilaalone C5 distinct kinds are known.
It grows on the flat lands of China and
on the steep sides of the lofty Himalay, as
with equal readirese. Such flexibility
has made rice culture si.iiabi to various
parts of North Cor-jiinn; aud trherras
once it was believtd that ti:- lards of the
lower Cape Fctr w r- a- n telievecl
suitable, it is i.ow iinu1 profitable to
cultivate rice in A'ayu-. a; ii Lenoir, and
even in Wake, on v iiii ara:i-e upland,
and where artificial flt.idii:g i inn practic

Such being the cwe, a variety may be

profitable therein.

note3 of the gathering storm : and
soon sleet and then snow began to
fall, driven by a tempestuous wind.
This turned to rain which froze as
it fell, and those who were compell
ed to be out had a hard road to
travel. All through the night, and
until S o'clock the next morning the
walking was difficult and dangerous,
and there were a number olialls,
but none dangerous. The tempera

appeared, and a fair day followel.
But the mud was fearful.

such effort in Wake, where neither
soil nor climate are so suitable as
here in the mountains, why should
not our furmers be a little more ac
tive than most of them. Some of
them down the river, under the in
fluence of the French Broad Far
mers Club, are doing well. We think
Mr. F. Randolph Curtis last year
seeded down 250 acres in clover,
and others around him also seeded
a large breadth. Why should not
such example become contagious?
Usk of Convicts.
In the first comixi?: report of

be made to the report of Captain E
R. Stamps, President of the Board
of Directors for the Penitentiary.
There has been a partizan effort tt
army hostility against tbe employ
ment of convict labor as conflict!- g
with ii.u interests of free bih'T, and
a? Utng generally prejudicial to
those of the whole State On this
point Capt. Stamps raakts lire plain
and bold statement that "the em
ploy men t of convict labor by the
State in foi warding work ufinierual
improvement, as huihiiug railways,
Arc. instead of injuring the reward
of free labor has" promotfd it; and
that besides the number ol. men
employed as overseers, guards, &c ,
numerous towns and vil'ages have
been built up and industries inau
gurated along Uhsh rii v.-vs by
which it is estimated iliat 20,000
inhabitants of the State are .-upj.ort-ed."
The commis.-ioiitT remark-
that "any one who trayr'ts -ii .!;
the line of Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley railway or the VWttrin
North Carolina road and other
roads buiit by convict labor will be
convinced there is considerable
force in what Oa pt. Stamps says."

spinal column up to the base of the brain
pass over it a hot ;ron, not enough

Asheville Library.
The annual meetinr ol the Asheville
Library Association for the purpose of
electing officers for the ensuing year was I
held in the Likrary Rooms on Wednes
day afternoon at 4 o'clock :
On motion My- K. KanH " Selected-President
and Mrs. S. R. Keplc
Vice-President, D. S. Watson was re
elected to the offices of secretary and
treasurer.
Ihe treasurer's report was a m st
gratifying one, showing a cash balance
of $197.31 on hands.
The secretary reported that there had
been a large umber of interesting new
books and journals added to the Library
in the last few months, and the execu
tive cenimittee hope to add many more
soon. This committee hope, just as soon
as funds sufficient have been raised to
arrange so tkat the Library can be kept
open in the evening, as a reading room,
especially for the benefit of the young,
men of our tow. This is a most laud-'
able undertaking, and it is to be hoped
that this noble project will not be allow
ed to fall through for the want of means
to carry it on.
The following were appointed by the
President to constitute an Executive
Committee for 1888 :
Miss Fannie Patton, Mrs. T. W. Branch,
Miss Susie Yateman, Mrs. J. R. Harding
and Professor Claxton.
The President was authorised to ap
point a committee to formulate plans to
secure an increase of membership. We
hope every member of this committee,
who has been notified by the secretary
wdl attend at the Library P.ooms Jan
uary 17th. at 4 o'clock.

Congress.
Washington, Jan. 12. Senate:
The resolution offered by Mr.
Chandler on the 10th ot January
instructing the committee on judi
diciary to inquire into the suprs
sion of votes of colored citizens of
Jackson, Miss., at the recent muni
cipl election in that city, and into
the alleged participation in such
suppression by the United States
district attorney, duputy collector
of internal revenue and deputy
United States marshal, was taken
up and Mr. Chandler addressed the
Senate in explanation and support
of it. He said he had a communi
cation from Jackson asking for such
investigation and asserting that the
facts stated could be proven by the
testimony of the best men of both
political parties. He had not yet
in the resolution provided for power
to send for persons and papers, be
cause he apprehended that the facts
would be all found on file in the
department of justice. If that,
however, should not prove to be so,
he would desire to have the power
given to make a complete investiga
tion. He sent to the clerk b desk
and had read several letters and
telegrams received by him ; also a
manifesto which first conveved to
the colored people of Jackson the
information that they would not
be allowed to vote. This manifesto
he said, displayed at its head the
angraving of a couple of pistols, a
couple of shot-guns and a powder
flask. In it the young men ot Jack
son announced their ultimatum.
It declartd that having seen one
of the number (HettishlyJ murder
ed in the dark by a negro policeman
of the negro cursed city, that the
corrupt radical negro government
should and must be wiped out at
any cost : that if the negroes ran for
office they should do so at their
extremest peril, and it warned all
the negroes ' against attempting to
foist upon us this black and dam
nable machinery called govern
ment "
The colored citizens under all the
circumstances surrounding them,
had met in convention and had re
solved that it would be unsafe fur
ther to attempt to vote, and had
consequently abstained from voting,
so that none but white men voted.
The federal officers engaged in the
business were Messrs. Harris, dis
trict attorney, Wilson, deputy col
lector of internal revenue, and Liv
ingstone, deputy United Slates mar
shal. He submitted that th ques
tion, although it affected only fur
the time being, the municipal elec
tion in the city of Jackson was one
of vital iaiportance. The c untry
this year was to enter on a presiden
tial election, an election which was
to decide the presidency and also
decide the complexion of the
national house ot epresentatives
In that election at least 12,000,000
voters, representing 60,000,000 of
the American people would partici
pate. Among these voter were
propably 1,500,000 of black men,
representing 6,000,000 or 7,000,000
of there own race, and it was an ini
portant question whether tht r 1,
500,000 black men were or were not
to be allowed to vote. It was a
question which concerned those
citizens who desired a protective
tariff whether that mutter should
be settled by a fair voW-of all wh.i
are voters under the coti'tituM : or
be setted with 1,500,000 of those!
voters disfranchised, in pursuance!
of t!rt policy which hs iuvn de j
liberately adopted n th c.uital of
the State of Mi?i.sippi, which State
was seeking to day t h"ve an as
sociate justice of tin- supreme court
to aid in passing on the vitality of
the constitutional amend merits'.
Mr. Rit'dleberer remarked there
was no concealment of the lact that
the resolution was intended to ef
fect m.itters that ought to be con
sidered in executive session, and he
gave notice that, as for himself, he
would vote tor the confirmation of
Lamar.
Mr. Waiihall said he had not
risen to offer any opposition to the
proposed investigation, on the con
trary he was anxious the reso
lution should be adopted by votes
of those Senators whose views on
the constitutional power of the Sen
ate differed from his own. If the
proposition were to investigate the
town election in New Hampshire, he
should vigorously oppose it. He
courted the fullest investigation of
j occurrences at Jackson, but he pro-
testedagainstany prejudgm nt ofthe
case. Instead of mere anonymous
conmunications. he desired that the
motives, provocations, grievances
and surrounding? of the people in
that city, together with their actions,
should be laid bare before the
country, and that the verdict of the
country should be had upon them.
air. Jones, ot Arkansas, sent to the
clerk's desk and had read a tele
gram sent on the 2d of January, by
Attorney General Garland, to" Dis
trict Attorney Harris, ot Jackson,

Mr. George saki tjo.t, t, jm.
pulse had bv.en tojet the resolution
be adopted without any debate or
objection on his part. He would
vote lor it except for one insupera
ble objection, and that v-as that it
embraced matters entirely outside
of the jurisdiction of the Senate. If
it had been confined to an invest"
gation of the conduct of federal of
ficials concerned he would have
voted for it. For fourteen years the
Republican municipal administra
tion had existed in the city of Jack
son without difficulty, without pro
teat, without any violent efforts to
overturn it. Up to Christmas there
was no opposition to the Republi
can mayoralty ticket, the election
b?;!ig for the first Mouday in July,
but on Christmas eve an occurrence
happened (the murder of a quiet,
respectable white man by a colored
man.) which excited the passions
and apprehensions ot the white pop
ulation. He did not mean to say
that even such brutal murder justi
fied tho violation of law, but only
thai it was well calculated to excite
psssions and to produce irregular
and illegal action.
The resolution was adopted
yeas, 29; naves, 24; a party vote ex
cept that of Mr. Kiddleberger, who
voted with the Democrats, while the
two Mis issippi Senators were ex
cused from voting.
House : Mr. Caswell, of Wiscon
sin: From the committee on judicial
ry reported adversely on a bill lim
iting the time for the presentation
and payment of claims against the
L'nited States. Laid on the table.
Mr. Wilkins, of Ohio: Under in
structions h3 tht . committee on
banking and currency, called up for
present consideration a bill provid
ing for the issue of circulating notes
to the National Banking Associa
tions. Mr. Weaver, ol Iowa, made it a
point of order that the bill was not
occompanied by the report such as
was contemplated in the rule requi
ring the committee to submit writen
lep.irts with every measure. The
report upon this bill was one mere
ly 3 recommending its passage,
yet upon such a report the house
was aked to act upon the measure,
whose certain effects was to increase
the rate of bank circulation to the
extent of 8.20,000,000, and whose
possible efle. t was to increase it to
the extent of more than $400,000,000.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, made the
further point xjf order that the bill
must receive its first consideration
in the committee of the whole.
The speaker over ruled both points
of order, Mr. Weaver's on the
ground that it was not within the
province of the chair to decide upon
the sufficiency of the report, and
Mr. island's 011 the ground that the
bill made no appropriation of mon
ey. Alter discussion the bill our pas
sed over until to morrow. Mr.
Tovvnshend, from the military com
mittee, reported back the Boutelle
'battle fln" resolution as amended
by the committee on military affairs.
Mr. Boutelle had no objection to the
amendment, tiiotigh he did not
think that the broti-icniny ol tl:e in

Mr.Cox, of New York, lejoiced
at the unanimity with which the
committee on military affairs had
reported the resolution. The coun
tr was to be congratulated upon
the lact that this resolution which
had touched public sensibility so
greatly could be reported ananimni

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at 11. H. Lyons'

this very valuable arti.-la from the fact
that it always cures and never disap

Horrible Times in the Northwest.
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 12. The
railroad men agree that the storm of
to-day is the worst ever known in
th northwest for their business. Il
extenas from the Rocky Mountain!
to Lake Michigan, but its worst ef
fects are felt in Dakota and Minne
sota. Everywhere it has been ac
companied by high winds, which
drifts the snow badly in northwest
ern Dakota, with below zero tern
perature, assumes the character of a
genuine blizzard. The railroads
had hardly finished clearing their
tracks from previous storms, and
that of to-day has absolutely blocked
all small roads, though the through
lines are battling bravely against
the elements so as to keep the
trains moving. The trains on tht
railroad to Chicago are from one to
nine hours late, but all the main
lines are Btillto.pen and eastern
trains left as uVtal -night. All
the freight trains on the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba lines have
been abanuuiiM nMen(rer
trams were sent out on these roaas
to-night. The Kansas City train on
the road to Omaha, was also aban
doned. Superintendent Edgar "of
the Manitoba road says its passen
gsr trains are laid up at stations
where there is plenty to eat The
St Paul and Duluth is trying to
keep its main line open, but has
abandoned the branches.
A special from Huron, Dak., says
the wind is blowing fifty miles an
hour, and the air is so full of snow
that one is unable to see fifty feet
at any time. Some unthinking
teachers dismissed young school
students, some of whom have to go
four or five blocks acrois the open
land. Five or six children got lost.
Whistles were blown, bells rung,
and the people turned out and took
long ropes and walked fifteen or
twsnty abreast, back and forth, over
the ground. They have found two,
but the others have not yet been
discovered.
The mercury is four degrees below
zero and has fallen twenty-eight de
grees sinee ten o'clock. Bismark
reports that children who started
for school were forced to turn back
by the fury of the storm. Pierre,
Dakota, specials say the wind is
blowing sixty miles an hour and it
is impossible to see fifteen feet.
Three trains are snow-bound at Re
Heights, and there is a reported col
lision between two freight trains at
the same point. Minot, Dakota,
reports a storm raging there lor
twenty-four hours, and the tempera
ture fifteen degrees bslow. All rail
road travel is suspended. James
town, Dakota, reports no trains
moving on the main line of the
Northern Pacific. Grafton, Dakota,
reports the wind blowing a gale, the
mercury twenty below and impos
sible to see more than two rods. In
St. Paul the parade and other cere
monies attending the laying of the
corner stone of the third ice palace
were postponed to Saturday.
Is It Not Singular
that consumptives should be the least
apprehensive of their own condition,
while all their friends are urging and
beseeching them to be more careful
about exposure and overdoing. It may
well be considered one of the most
alarming symptoms of the disease, where
the patient is reckless and will not be
lieve that he is in danger. Reader, if
you are in this condition, do not negleet
the only means of recovery. Avoid
exposure and fatigue, be regular in your
habits, aud use faithfully Dr. Pieics's
li Golden Medical Discovery." It has
saved thousands who were steadily fail
ing. dSrwlw
