lira. Richard Harris, widow of .the

made after a design of her own, and
placed it at her husband's grave
about two months after his death.
She did it not to spite the dead, but
to avenge the slights put upon her
by his aristocratic relatives.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall baa re

came;(to pass at the meeting of the
Democratic State committee at Har-

of his warm pert-oual and political
friend, MT' Dallas SudrH, of Phila

of the State committee for several

excellent chairman. If this liltl

ducing tr. Randall to a better; ob
servance of his party duties during
the Consideration of the revenue re

gratulation over the action at Harris

therefore start out witL com the iitst
year ;with all the manure, spread from
the wagon, (not dumped in piles to
leach put for a month or more, and
then Blattered) before plowing. Then
after corn has been gathered I plow
in the fall if weather will permit, und'
bow in the spriog to oats.' Afterthis
crop'ls off, I seed it to wheat and
clovef. After allowing it to remain
in clover two yeais I put it in wtieat
a second time, allowing all the fall
crop ;.'of clover to remain and be
turned in, and after wheat this time,
I retuxn to corn as in the start. By
this ays torn, as the manure is turned
underfor corn. its roots generally find a
portion, and when the piece is plowed
for oats the rest of the manure comes to
the surface to benefit the oats. After
the Wheat, which follows oats, tho
clover sow d with or upon it is cut
the following spring and fall, but. the
second fall. I plowed the second crop
of clover to gc' as large as can be
turned under for the mxt crop of
', wheat.. Some jcurs it may be best to
, allow.the.setd to bo taken fiom the
clover., with success depending on
, suitable Weather for threshing ; but
. up n .the whole, in a series of years,
1 believe the additional quantity of

mujqrity overwhelmingly established
tho "vfactijtbut, if the case re
opened tlie contes'aut could not prove
hf single charge he hid made. i
Mf. Ly'man, of Illinois, knew of no ;
reason why the House should not re- j
open thej cat-e. Grave charges had j
beeirjinade by the contestant in the i
affidavits f-vx parte affidavits it j
was tru and they had been
ausw.eredly other ex parte affidavits, j
Strong efforts had bwn made to pre-
vent au irfvestigationof those charges.
Were the, conteeteo and his friends
afraid of ho truth '. Did his friends
doubt t'flieir ability to go into the
sitfllj district of Kentucky and estab
lish that' the charges of the con-:
testalut ere not true ? Tho fact
that-; th're was such a con
stant determination that the events
of the election should not bo investi
gated suggested to his mind that
there wa5 something wrong.
Mr. Copper, of Ohio, spoke in sup
port.'of .the majority report. There
should be some time during a mem
ber's terjii when he should be free

He took up in detail the various char
ges made in affidavits piesented by
the.oontestant snd argued that each
and every one of them had failed of
substantiation, and been absolutely
disproved by affidavits and records
presented by the c .ntestee. The
witnesses who were relied upon to
prove the contestant's charges had
filed affidavits disproving them, and in
view of this fact, no good result would
follow the reopening of the case. So
reopen tins case would te an un-
lUBuce io iui' couieHiie, i
justice to the contestant !
and a wrong to the House.
It would be an injustice to the cou
testestee, if, upon such thin-shadowy
and unsubstantial showing as had
been made in the case, the Speaker,
as a member of the House, should be ;
subjecteal to unjusttiable annojance.
It woulabe an injustice to the con- j
testant as it would be an invitation to j
him to spend his time and money in
seeking proof which did not exist. It
would be wrong to the House to have
its time occuped by a conte s
the proper determination of which
was so obvious.
.Mr. ; Rowel1., of Illinois, tcok the
same view aud argued that the com
mittee on elections had followed pre
cisely the proper course in refusing
to re open 'he case upon the evidence
presented to it.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, spoke
in 'support of the minoiity. Pending
the case, he f-aid it was too important
a one to be settled by affi
davit. It was a case which
deserved the- attention of Con
gress. Considering particularly
the enormous disparity between lhe
contestant and contested, the House
should proceed with great circum
spection. The contestant was a can
didate of labor organizations His
case had been shockingly misman
aged. He came now and threw him
self on the mercy of the House. There
was a widespread belief among the
great woi king classes tbtr the power
of corporations, power of lings, and
power of men hign in authoiiiy and
backed by money and intluence had
an enormous weight in ail legislative
bodies of the country It was a dan
gerous, un wholes'-me belief. He
thought that when a man belonging to
the working class came before the
Houae asking for a rehearing, it
would do no harm to any man or to
Congreaw or to the iuteresfs of the
people to have that niau's case heard.
The House could afford to temper
justice with a very large measure of
generosity.
On motion of Mr. Crisp, Mr.
Thoebe, ihe contestant, was granted
an hour in which to present an argu
ment in his own behalf. He read
from a : communication which he. had
sent to the chairman of the commit-
! tee on elections, protesting against
I au unfavorable report on his request
! until hn hadau opportunity to examine
1 theaffidauis pr sented by thecontes
! tee In tu:s communication he related
' iu part the statements contained in hia j
affidavits filed with the committee,
denies the truth of some of the affi
davits filed by the Speaker, and de
clares his ability lo disprove the ac
curacv of others if he is granted an
I oppoi tusiity. He was sorry, he con
tinued, that ti e working classes were
beginning to lose confidence in the
secuntj of the ballot. If the ballot
wjis not secure, what did they have
leltt (Applause on the Repub'ican
side.) Ht us a woiking mau; he
did not: consider it a great honor ex
actly to be a member of this House
(General laughter su l applause )
What he meant was that the me
chanic was just as honorable and
noble as anv other citizen If
every gtntlemau here would rather
be right than be Pr sid .nt, tbehe
seats would ba filled by the right
men. (Laughter ) He did not pro
pose to mike any capital out of the
i act that he was a woikingraaQ He
was not here for favor, but for simple
justice.
The previous question was then or
dered upon a resolution of the ma
jority of the committee which con
firms the htle of Mr. Carlisle to his
seatand up -u a resolution in the
nature of a substitute o fit red by Mr.
Lyman, of Iowa, declarihgl that the

Meeting of lhe House Committee on
ineree.
Com-
20 -
Washisotos, D. C. January
The subject of the Reading railroad
strike came up before the House
committee on commerce today
through a request by the sub commit
tee to which: had been referred the
Anderson resolution providing for an
an inquiry into the strike, that it bo
discharged from further consideration
of the matter. As a reason
for making this request the sub
committee stated that it regarded the
subject as one of such gravity as to
demand considerat on at the hands of
a full committee. After a short dis
cussion the request was granted, and
an earnest debate ensued upon the
merits of the proposition. It appears
that the committee is pretty evenly
divided, a number of its members
favoring immediate inquiry into the
strike, while peihaps as many more
take ground that if the strike con
cerns anything more than private in
terests and is properly the subject for
investigation by the government, in
quiry should be made by the inter
state commerce commission, which
has jurisdiction if public rights are
concerned. The matter will be further
considered next Tuesday, when an ef
fort will be made to dispose of a
resolution. It is understood that the
delegation from the Knights of La
bor will try to secure a hearing upon
that day to present their side of the
case.

We have been blockaded for three
weeks. Unlets a train comes in with
ful within two days there will be se
rious suffering here and all about.
There is no wood or coal in the
market. There is more suffering in
the country than in town. The opin
ion is general that the railroad au
thorities have been very remiss in
thus delaying the opening of the road.
Men are working towards us from

end of the line.

to the Pioneer Press indicate that

is not likely to be followed by the dis
astroos consequences of its immedi

the effect of again filling up cuts and
temporarily suspending railway traffic,
just beginning to be resumed.

Between Two Citizen, of Granville Conn

Town and Cnary Rewa.
Cor. or the News and Observer.
Oxford. N. C, Jan. 19. 1888.
Nathaniel Cannady and Ciesar Al- '
len. both well-to-do citizens of this
county, had a difficulty last week :
which resulted in the death of the '
latter. It seems that they quarreled,
several shots were fired by both par- :
ties and Cannady went into the store.
where he was employed as clerk, bar-
ring the door behind him leaving
Allen on the outside. A drummer
drove up in the meantime and asked
Allen where the clerk was. Allen re
plied that "he was in the store and
that he (Allen) intended to kill him
(Cannady ) if it took him two years to
do it.' Cannady opened the door for
the drummer, and as he did so, Allen
shoved his pistol around the drum
mer intending to shoot Cannady in
the body, but the aim was misdirect
ed and Cannady waj shot through the
hand. An hour or two afterward Al
len secured a ladder and attempted
to enter Cannady s room over the
store, whereupon Cannady shot hiiu.
the wound resulting in death. Up to
this time these- are the facts in the
case.
For several yesrs past occasional
mention has been made of a sup
posed coal deposi"; near our town.
Capt. W. B. CrewB, one of our most
prominent citizens, intends, at an
early date, sinking a shaft on his
plantation, seven miles from here, to
ascertain the extent of the deposit, if
possible, and the quality of the coal.
Competent judges who have seen
specimens picked up on hia planta
tion pronounce it equal to the best
grade of anthracite coal. j
The Oxford and Durham Railroad j
will pass directly through this coal
section and if the investigation re
sults in the opening up of a coal
mine, the shipping facilities will be
unsurpassed. We hope to be able,
in the near future, to supply our own
sister towns and cities with all the
coal used by them, at a much lower
rate than is now paid.
The copper mines of northern
Granville are being successfully
worked, and all that is needed to
make them pay handsomely is a rail
road connection with the trading
world.
The Oxford and Clarksville Rail
road will be completed in thirty days
if the weather is good. The engine
io now running to within seven miles
of Oxford from the Claksville end.
Work has been commeaceife on the
new depot, which promises to be spa
cious and well arranged and at an ac
cessible point. With the new railroad
from Clarksville anil another to Dur
ham, Oxford will eclipse her former
grand achievements and march with
steady firmness to the front ranks of
prosperity.
Oxford is growing more into favor
every day as a tobacco market, and
the farmers are beginning to learn
that the prices paid for tobasco here
are not surpassed by any market in
the State. Our warehouses, hve in
number, have had'large breaks nearly
every day this year, and the quality
has more than once been commented
upon by judges of "the weed" as be
ing exceptionally good. The corps of
buyers now numbers upwards of sev
enty five, al of them thoroughly capa
ble for the business.
On Monday night last, at the annual
meeting of the "Granville Grays", the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year : Captain, YY . A. iSoDDitt;
First Lieutenant, J A. Taylor; Second
Lieutenant, C. H Easton; Third Lieu
tenant, J. S. Hunt; Ensign, W. D.
Lynch; President, Gen. M. P. Taylor;
Vice-President, B. 8. Royster; Secre
tary, L. Lanier; Treasurer, W. W.
Jones. This company is one of the
best drilled in the State and ia now
in a very flourishing condition. It is
the color company of the Intra itegi
iuent and well deserves this honor.
Its roll of members now numbers
about GO in actual service, with quite
a number of our best citizens as hon
orary and contributing members.

A correspondent of tho Fayetteville

editor of the Charlotte JJemocrat, as
the man who ought to be nominated
for Governor, lhere is rrot a man in
the State who would make a better
one, nor one who hts less ambition in
that direction. Mr. Yates has render
ed inestimable service to the State in
various caoacities. but he has steadi
refused any political recognitioh an 1
would not turn his hand over to; be
Governor of North Carolina He is
devoted to his profession, is a( capi
talist and a man of affairs, and takes
no personal interest in politics except
as he is interested in good govern
ment. He is devoted to -the Demo
cratic party because it toe parity of
cood government, but beyond that
he asks nothing of it, and we do not
believe, would receive anything! from
it. But if be ould like to be Gpv
ernor je are for him, because he is
as familiar with public affairs sa any

We ought merely to say thanks to
our friends of the Fayetteville Ob
server, Raleigh News and ObsirVer,
Charlotte Chronicle and otheys tor
the kind mention of our name W: J
Yates for a prominent office. While
appreciating such compliments (nd
especially one from an old gentle
manly Republican of pure character
in th western part Of the State), we
must be permitted to say that there
is no elective office within the gift of
the people that we would be willing
to become a candidate for. We oan
not afford to be a candidate for; an
office when we would have to go
round asking people to vote for ;us;
and then we have sense enough: to
know that we could not be elected if
we were to do so, because we are bp
posed to all schemes that are calcu
lated to fool and deceive tlie farmer,
the mechanic and the laborer, and jire
in favor of re establishing the wh;ip
ping-post, so as to have a speedy aet
tlement with criminals instead of con
fining them in jails or on chain-gangs,
thereby rendering thair wives a?ad
children destitute or making them
thieves and beggars Now, gentle
men, who do you suppose would vote
for a candidate of that sort ? But
complimenta to you, nevertheless, for
kind words. Charlotte J'etnocrat.

afflicted with lung trouble and catarrh.
He went to Southern Pines in search

ready free from all the trouble be
formerly had from his diseases, alid
says that his recovery is due to the
dry, balmy and odoriferous air of the
