No. 85 i 1 -i Y v V V -- .J. - ."7 4f 4 ). 'X MINOR MENTION- The Raleigh correspondent of the Char!otte Observer writes that paper that Marion Butler, Presi -dent of the State Alliance, Dr. J. L. Mott and Loge Harris had a consultation in Raleigh last week and the report was that they Lad agreed to puil together, to keep up the Third party organization. Th better to play the racket Mott and Loge are going to do their level best to have the Republican party formally disband, which it might as well do after ita experience tor the last dozen years or so. We don't know whether there .is any. thing in thia or not and it doesn't make anv difference aoy way, for while Dr. Mott and Loge Harris may create some disturbance in the Republican party the effects of their opposition to the Demo cratic party would amount to about as much ns the blows ot a tack hammer on an anvil, a little ring, that's a'l. This alleged eon feienceand agreement, however, suggests something. Marion Butler is President of the Farmers' Alli ance As such he was at the late meeting ot the Alliance and Indus trial Union at Memphis, where there was such a hot fight over the course the Alliance should take in the future in reference t politics. The wrangle resn.ted in the eeces- eion of Dr. Macune and a large number of those who insisted that the Alliance should wi'hdraw from politics, and Mr. Lonck--, iho re presented the tact on that insisted on its sticking to politic?, was elec ted President. Marion Butler was elected vico-president u the para tisan ticket. Tnis tact and the further tact that he ruposes to keep up the -Third paity organiza tion and continue the fijjhr might make it quite s proper tor tie executive e.-mniittie ot thi:- State to niaki (he same ii quiry of Ma rion But e- that tin y r cent iy did of the manne r hm1 editor of the Progrcsssve farmer. If i e proposes to run the Thud party lacketin colin?iuti with Dr. Mott and Loge Harris and . others, or on his own liook, propriety and decency would suggest .that he resiyn hi ffice ai President of a nonpartisan organi zation, and then run his Third party business under his own proper CO0:S. The executive con miuee of the Farmmers' Alliance met last week in Raleigh and sent a rote to (hi Progressive Farrru r to thn iffojt that as the Farmers' Aliiaii'-e n a non-partiean organization the srir an of the Alliance should a !" be nonpartisan, and asking what the policy of the organ would be in future. The intimation in this was, of course, that if the Progressive Farmer proptsedto coutinna on the partisan track, the Alliance would look out for t n ther organ. In reply the business uisnier and editor ttated substantially that the paper was done with pontics and would henceforth stijk to the Alliance and let politics alone. Ii will be remembered that when some time ago the executive com mittee addressed a similar note to the la'e Col. Polk, who was then the editoiinehief aDd propriector he promptly resigned the organ ship rather than abandon the pol itics which the paper had espous ed. That was the manly couree to pursue, but it was i mistake; for a man without half the brains that C-l. Polk had mihthave seen that mak ing the paper a partisan paper could only result in damaging the Alliance, and in im paring, if not destroying the usefulness and influence of the pa per. The managers with the light ot experience have realized this and have wistly concluded to -change tactics and get within the Alliance lines where they can carry out the legitimate work .of ;an Alliance organ. Wil. Star The Yield of Crops Per Year, r 1 he United State department of a&fipnltare has made public the statistic concerning the yield of crops per aere 10 ine amerent states for the crop jeir, wmcn nas ja.-t The statistician fladi that the wheat crop will probably n- t iex ceed 500,000,OW) bushels, and the oat crop i of .oor quali'y and mnch below the average. Corn yclded an average -f 22 4 busbela per acre lr tnetntire acre age of the ration,promising an ag . gregate production of over 1,600, 3300.000 bushels for the United States 1892. Last year the yield perged 26,6-buahels per acre, 2 2 frseheis per acre more than this year. XJorn is principally grown ia seven surplus" State. The averages for these 'are: Ohio, 29 bushels; Indiana, 23; Illinois, 25.8: Iowa,28; MiesouriKanaas, 23,3J Nebraska, 28.9, or an average in the seven States combioed. of 4.7 bushels more than tbe general ' .average of the country. The tver rge decreased in the "surplus" States and increased n the States which produce less per acre. In the cotton States corn was injured by excessive moisture, wet weather in sp ing and drought in 6nmmer reduced Missouri's yield while Kansas snffered materially by scorching winds in Ju: e. The returns indicate a vety light cotton crop; the worst since 1S60, correspondents sre. On the At' lantic c jast the light yield ia att tributetto alternating heavy rains and drought. Dry summer follow ed a cold, wet epring, producing large weed and deficient fruitage, while early frost cut ehorc the u,op" crop. In Alabama some farms will'yield but one bale to twenty acre, yet in Mississippi foitia plant ations will yield a bale to the acre. The staple ia generally e'ean and white, but lint is short in proportion to weight of seed cotton. In Florida many iarmers are reported as on tLe point of ab andoning the culture ot Sea Island cotton on account of competition and the short crop, Arkansas will probably yield not over half a crop Complaints ot bo!lworma aud early Irost comes, from every cot ton state. Tobacco yields an average t er acre of 082 pounds, against 748 pounds in 1S91. Lasc year wa& an unusual year and this year's crop will not fall below the average for eight years. There has been a distinct difference between the ret turns from the seed-leaf districts and the districts growing heavy tobaccos. In the former it has been high and is equal to the crop of last year. It ranges from 1,600 pounds in Connecticut, to 1,100 in Wisconsin. In the other districts the yield is considerably smaller, ranging form 440 pounds in Mary" land and 485 in North Carolina to 690 in Kentucky. For the potato crop the year was distinctly unfavorable, the yield averaging 62 bushels per acre against 93 9 bnehels last year. In Illinois the average yield is 40 bushels lower than last year. Drought alternating with excessive rainfall caused the failure, Hay is reported as averaging 1.71 tons per acre, ranging from nine- teuths of a ton in New England to two tons in Colorado. The crop about f quals that f last your. rrmt prrs-ir-; a very J.iw average' pp:- s lii-d pears yirided avtry short crop, wnile lUc grje Mel- was not I up to the average. Ihe agent of the department for North Carolina says in his last re- pcrt: "The very favorable seasons for gathering crops have in a meas ure compensated for unfavorable growing seasons; but all crops are reportel injured by wet and dry weather during July and August. In some of the Eastern couutits comp'aint is made of a small black bug which lufests the corn in the fields7'. In North Carolina the average yield per aere was : Corn, 10.2 bushels,- irish potatoes, 55 bushels; sweet potatoes, 95 bushels ; tobacco, 485 pounds; hay, 1.20 tons; buckwheat, 7.2 bushels ; sorghum, 82 gallons : (fruit as compared with an average crop) grapes 83, apples 54, pears 51. The Era of Good, Feeling. The generous attendance and cordial cooperation of leading and ac ive Republicans in the reception given to Chairman Harrity in the Academy of Mubic on Tuesday ever-ing list only empnasized the advent ot the era of good tee! ing that no' obtains in all politi cal cireles. The Union League set ti e example on the evening of the C eveland jolifisation, and the spontaneous and overwhelming character ot the tribute paid to Mr. Harrity by citizens ot every party faith was pb crediiab e to Philadelphia as it wa honorable to him. The late national contest was not less earnest than such battles have been in the past, but it wis the most manly, dignified, clean educational campa:gn of Ameri can history, and its beneficent re sult'! are visible in the cord;a) acquiescence of th minority in the decision of the nation. Had Pres ident Harrison been re elected, he wonld have been we'eomed to his second term by the whole people jut as all parties now bow loyally to the overwhelming election of Mr. Cleveland. The American people have learned that intelligence, patriot ism and devotion to all the great material interests obtain quite as much in one party as in the other; and that while men of equal in telligence and patriotism may earnestly :differ.4as .to the true po! icy o ' the government, the Repub lic and all its vast' and interests are entirely safe in the care of either party. This ic the lesson of the late election, and the low par tisan hatreds and asperities which have disgraced past contests have perished, and we hope forever. The era of good feeling has come, and let all good citizens resolve that it has come to stay. Philadel phia Times, Mockery l the faine of little heart. , -'Vfuineverc. WE GO FORWARD- The South as Sh.9 Is and as She is Se3n: Bright With Promise: A Home for Industrial Effort. . IET GOXiDSBOrtO "CATCH OX" The future cf t he South her un failing resources aud unt quailed ad vantages has been a tireless theme of The Argus through all the years of its existence; and no? believe the time is rife for the vintage of its hope, that has ceased not to keep peace and grow with the rolling year?. lint now other papers papers from great marts of progress and industrial development and success, are turning their eyes towards the South wide with wonder at the beautitul picture of promise that greets them here. Aud right here we pause to sug gest to the business men of Golds boro to ponder well the situation and weigh wisely the advantage of coming together in a business way and making Goldsboro a home of united effort for our common prog ress and prosperity. Here is how the St. Louis Repub lie, which is a competent observer, looks upon and sizes up the South ern situation: The rise in cotton during the past few weeks has made the South about $100,000,000 better off than it was at the middle of October. Anybody can figure it out for himself on the base of a 6,000,000-bale cr.op and an advance iu price from 7 cents a pound to 10 cnts. The results to the South of the great Democratic victory cannot be so easily calculated yet, but they are worth in actual inonev value many times $100,000,000. The policy of tariff for revenue will be worth a great deal to Texus, as to every other Southern State, by enhaucing the exchange value of its cotton crop, thus helping to pay off its land mortgages to Scotch money lenders. But the threat of Force Bill and other elements of Eadical misrule affected Texas less than any other bouthern btate. . lexas ha3 alwavs felt big enough and strong enough, and maybe bad enough in bad times, to take caie of itself, no matter what might happen in Washington. Texas made short work of the carpet-baggers while other Southern States were goirg through the mill of re-co-jstructron, aud it uu't likely that Texas would have lost many nights' sleep on account of another attempt to leconstruct them on the Ilarrison Lode plat:. Like California, Texas has, in its remoteness, a great safe guard against unwelcome meddling from Washington. . But in the South Atlantic States aud the gulf States East of the Mis sissippi, Harrison's proposed policy of enacting the force bill, for the sake of the "dozen tariff billo that were supposed to be in it, acting with a paralyzing force that can be estimated only by the manifestations of joy and renewed energvlhat have followed the West's crushing rebuke of that hard, narrow and law less pol icy. In all that region the election of Cleveland and a Democratic Congress changes the impending nightmare of oppression, misrule and race con flict into the certainty of peace and constitutional government. That means for the South moral, intellect ual and material progress. Certain of the fruits of their industry, in genuity and frugality, the bouthern people are ripe for progressive movement in many branches of com mercial, industrial and agricultural activity. But they will not have the field all to themselves. The South being safe again, millions of North ern aud Western capital will seek profitable investment there and thousands of energetic men from north of the Potomac and the Ohio will carry new methods to enlarge the volume and vary the character of Southern products. Already the renewed hope and energy of the South are felt as a ton ic in almost eyery cemmercial ceater of the'North and West. Obliterate the South from the map of America, as the Republican party apparently tried to do, and the northwest would s"tare outright, while the We3t would again resort to corn-burning. Tin u the South loose and let it grow, as the Democratic pojicy pro pose?, and it will of necessity always be a most profitable customer of the North and West, especially of the West, hereafter. The New Cotton Bagging, Among the Biibjecta discussed at the recent New England Manu facturers" meeting waft a new cov ering for cotton bales, which va described by Mr. Thompson, who said that his attention had been called to it bv a fire at the River Point (R. I.) Mills, by which $100,- 000 wortn ot cotton was lost, with very little iosuraDeo on it. The covering is a fireproof, asbeitos mixture- in which wire is mixed to five ir t-tiffnes and strength, and OTtr the "whole- wire netting is drawn. Replying to qnestioi.s, Mr. Thompson stated that with thi.- covering the cost to the grower was about the same as li-lb bag girg. It was seventy-five cents a bdh; white one and one-halt br ging coe? the grower ciahtyfive cents a hale and two and one-half $L05 a bale. ri in; weight of the covering is b ut equal to the two-pound or dinary covering and the bales hold more than the average bale tf compressed cotton about 500 pounds-and ocenpy somewhat Ices space. Mr. Atkinson then stated that when this new covering was brought out the Mutual Company examined it and found that, while it was fire-proof, it excluded the air from the cotton to such an ex tent a to cause it to be injured. Since that time the inventer, H O. King, otJAtlanta, Ga ,has suc ceeded in making the covering successful in repelling fire, while giving considerable air to the cot ton There was nothing to be said against this covering; it an swered every rtqnircmcnt; the bales do i:Ot bulge ; ita cost is less and it is co heavier,and he thought the used wrappers were of more value than the present wrapper. Our Friends, the Mugwumps. The sneers of somB Democratic papers at the independent voters in New York and other pivotal states strikes ua as being exceed ingly silly. The Democratic party is greatly indebted to these men. Rut for their aid we would never have won the victory of 1884, and with out tbeir votes we would have lost several states which we carried at the recent election.- They are men who left tha Re publican party on account of hon est conyictions. Tuey believe that the welfare of the conntry can best be promoted by the triumph ot the principles which the Demo cratic party represents, and they have eiven that party their earnest and loyal support. Some of the most effective work in the late campaign was done by men of this cIhss. Most of them exert large personal influence and crry weight to any party with which they allign themselves. What Democrat wants to drive of such mugwump newspapers as theiNew lorb limes, the Even ing Post and the iitaats Zeiiung? He would be a very poor politic ian who would rrject the profFend aid of Mich men r.s C:irl Schnrtz, Wavnu Mac Veah, J ude Cooley, Judge Gresham and Oswald Oiten dorter. We trust that such newspapers and such men may continue to coie over to the Den ocracy in spite of the few hollow headed Democratic newspapers that are continually making face3 at them. -Atlanta Journal.

Surrounded by His Family, Jay Gould Breathes His I ast A Victim of Con sumption A Short Biography. New Yokk, Dec. 2. Mr. Jay Gould the great financier, died this morni jg at 9'oclock. The newt was not made known to those outs aide the home of the millionaire a half after the event. The first authentic and verbal news of the event came from the colored butler, who came to the door and in response to a question said, in a choking voice, "Yes. Mr. Gould is dead." -Mr, Gi uld died surrounded by the members of the family and faithful physicianp. At 1 o'clock this morning he seemed to rally somewhat and the lights were turned down and the family re tired to get some rest. Dr. Munn and the nnrse remained with the patient. At daylight Mr. Gould's condition became more alarming and gradually the members of his family again assembled at his bed side. It was apparant to all that the end was fast approaching. Mr. Gonld he seemed to realize the truth himself. No pain attended the last moments of the dying man. Thi en-i came peacefully and quietly. Jnst before he died Mr. Gonld, realizing tbat hehad but a little while longer to live expressed a desire to see the mem bers ot his family, that he might look npon them for the last time. He was perfectly conscious and entirely composed, meeting the end with calmness. His mind was clear to the last, ra was demon strated by the fact that he missed the face of a member of the fam ily who had left the room for a moment. Mr. Gould's last words were in the form of a reqnest that he might, at the closing moments of hi life, be surrounded by the beloved members of the family. The members of the family as eembled at the bed side of Mr. Gould, when dea:h laid its hand upon him, included Mr. and Mra. George G -n'd, Mr.and Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould, Mr. Honaid Gould and Miss Anna Gould. Tho servants were assem" bled near by and were informed of the death ot their m aster immed! iately alter its occurence. The physicians have not yet ttated definitely what was the na ture ot Mr. Gould's illness, but it is generally believed it was pul monary consumption It is said that Mr. Gould had several hemor rhages ot the lungs recently, the first having been the day before Thanksgiving and another a few days later, and etill another a few days ago. Whether or not the pulmonary disease made its ap' pearance recently is not known positively, but it is said that his family have leng been aware of the fact that Mr. Gould was a victim of the disease. He bore his suffer ing bravely and was grateful for all that waa done for him. The funeral of Mr. Goald will be held on Monday. . The services will be very simple and unosten tatious in accordance with the wishes expressed by the decreased. The services will be held at family mansion and will be conducted by Dr. Jno. R. Paxton, assisted by Chancellor McCracken and Rev. Mr. Roderick Terry. The intei ment will be made at Irvington on the Hudson, where the body of Mrs. Gould reposes, The real condition of Mr,Gonld'e health was not realized until a year ago when he broke down in the famous Missouri Pacific meeting. This occurred in November, 1891, Last summer Mr. Gonld again broke down, at a directors meeting. He was said to be con sumptive, He moved and acted like a man 80 years old, bent with years. The family hoped that he would recover, but attack of last Wednesday diseapated all each hopes. Jay Gould was born in Koxbury, Delaware con n ty , "N. Y., May 27, 1863. His early years were spent on bis fathers farm and at tho age of 14 he entered Hobart academy. and kept the books of the village blacksmith He acquired a taste for surveying and from this work very young he accumulated$5,000. When but twenty years old he engaged in the tanning and lumber business, continuing in these en terprises nntil 1857 when he sold out and remoyed to this city and established himself as a broker and at once invested heavily in, Erie railroad stock, He entered the directory of that company and became president, holding the office until the reorganization f the directory in 1872, He next made large puchases ot the stock ot various rai'rada and also invested deeply - in the telegraph stock. In December 1880, official records showed that Mr, Gould was in control of 10,000 miles of railroad or more than one ninth of the. entire mi'eage of the country. Later Mr, Gould pur chased a controlling interest in tho St. Louis and S?n francisco railroad company, which has an aggregate mileage of nearly 900 miles and ia a joint owner, with the Archison,To- peka and banta re railroad com pany,ofthe Atlantic and Pacific companies Of Mr: Gould's career since he began to operate in Wall street, columns might be written, were the story not pretty well known tothe public, Tho specula tions in Erie, the "Black Friday" and other episodes are iamiliar to most New Yorkers and have beei often retold. , No two estimates agree as to the amount of Mr. Gould's fortune. The most conservative figures place it at about $60,000,000, while some peopie in Wall street, who think they know some thing about his accumulations figure that he must have gotten together fully $100,000,000, The Golden State.

A cold northeast gale this morning swept over Broadwater, which gives its name to the inlet divid ing Hog Island irom tne mainland, effectually catting eff- any com munication between the President elect, Cleveland, and his friends ashore. Another disappointment was thus added to those which Mr, Cleveland has already experienced daring the few days that he has spent as a guest ot the Broadwater Club. There was eometbing very tantalizing in the way that wild fowl of every description flew hither and thither eeeking to" find shelter x from the pitiless-storm.

The returns from all bat nine precincts in San Fran cisco give Cleveland a plurality in this city and county cf 0,112. A number of irregularities ia re turns from the remaining precincts in this city may delay the canvass for a few day?. The fignres given from outside counties are based upon the average vote given for llepnbli can and Democratic electors. The plurality is so narrow, a::d in view of the fact that the vote for electors varies, it is possible that when the official vote has been completed upon iudiyidual electors, the electoral vote will be divided between Harri son and Cleveland.

Yet, as in nears ly all the preceding dlscussionSj the speakers have wondered from tli3 form to the substance, and have in effect been treating the case as if it were before them to decide Prof. Smith's suilt or in nocence, rather than upon the merits of the work of the prosecut ing committee. A vote was Liken on the qnet3 ion of sustaining the sufficiency in form and legal effect o' the third carge. It howed v'nat had been foeshadowed in the second debate, that at least two members of the. court had come over to the si io of the accused.

The litter in his remarks en the did-, cusaion, said that if ministers hoMo ing views which Prof. Smith h:;s taught are to be suhpeted to trails, the Presbytery will haye enongh heresy trails to keep it busy for three jears.
