SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1888. Chajrlotti is talking about a rail road from its gates to San ford, and talk n Charlotte generally mews something. Such a road as is suggested woulii open up a rich country ami bring' into use much valuable water-powet-now out of the reach of enter prise A friend asks us to point out tho difference between hail and sleet. WebSter defines hail as "Frozen rain or grains and lumps of ice precipi tated from the clouds, where they are formed by the congelation of vapor." He says ' sleet is "A fall of kail or snow mingled with raid, usually in fine jjarticle3." "We do not know that we cquld make the matter clearer by any Elaboration. The common un derstanding of sleet hereabouts is the fall of hail or snow, mingled with rain which freezes on everything it touches, the earth, the trees and shrub j and so on. Hail is the rain already frozen when, it reaches'us, or, the grains and lumps of ice, without the intetnfix ture of uncongelated rain or. scow. To be a little more scientific, hail is rain which has passed in its descent through Borne cold stratum of air and has been frozen' into drops of ice One stratum of air is frequently made colder than another by the fact that electricity is unequally distributed through the air. Hence hail is fre quently accompanied with thunder and lightning, the congelation of the water into hail disturbing the elec tricity, and the friction produced by the -fall of the hail exciting it still more. Hail falls generally in summer j and autumn because the air is more highly electrified in those seasons than, in winter and spring, and be cause the vapors in su turner and au tumn, being ratified, ascend to more elevated regions, and the higher the region above the earth the colder it is. "Two things then are essential to hail t two strata of clouds haying op - posite electricities and two currents of 'kind. The lower cloud, being negative, is the one precipitated in haiL Sleet ia caused by the passage of falling flakes of snow through a bed or stratum of air above the freezing point in temperature. The flakes are partially melted and reach the-.: earth partly snow or bail and partly rain. Snow, of course, is the condensed vapor of the air frozen and precipitated to the earth. Tea New York legislative commis siott appointed tp consider the best method of executing the death sen tence has made its report, condemn ingj, hanging and recommending elec tricity. It reviews the existing meth oda of inflicting the death penalty j finding beheading the most common on the continent of Europe. In France, Belgium, Denmark and son)e of the German States, the guil lotine is used; in Prussia and Italy, the sword,ahd in Switzerland both the guillotine and the sword. In Russia the method is decapitation; by the sword or hanging by the gallows; in China decapitation or strangulation by a cord. In Spain the garrpte is the instrument of death. Shooting, which is common in military cases, is em ployed in ordinary capital leases, in sotne parts of Germany and South Anierica. while the gallows is used in Holland, Portugal, Great Britain and thiB country. ' The commission also goes over the long list of methods of indicting capital punishment that have been, in use in various countries in the course of the ages, the horrible catalogue embracing burning, beating with clubs, beheading, bisecting with the saw, blowing from cannon, boil ing, burying alive, crucifying, dismem be ring, drowning, exposure' to wild beasts, flaying, flogging, garroting, guillotining, hanging, hari kari, iin paling, poisoning, precipitation, rack ng, shooting, stabbing, i stoning, strangling and suffocation. The report refers to all these at greater or less length and objects to all because of their barbarity, cruelty and demoralizing eSect. It holds that, the time has come for the aban donment of the gallows as a mode Of execution out of keep ing with the civilization and scientific achievement of today. It maintains that the object of capital punishment is simply to remove the criminal, and it insist?; therefore, that the execution should be as quick, certain and painless as possible to the victim as little shocking or revolting as possible to society. For these reasons it makes the recommendation it does, saying: "Perhaps the most potent agent known for the destruc tion of human life is electricity. Death as a result is instantaneous upon its application- The application may be made without the slightest injury to the officers charged therewith; the place for its infliction may be strictly private, and at the same time its cer tainty is beyond a doubt." 1 It IB-suggested that a chair might be constructed with a Lead-rest and a foot-rest, each of metal; nndcon? nected by wires with au electric light plant- The cost would bej nominal and places of execution could bo es tablished at Auburn, Sing; Sing and Dannemora. A person seated in the death chair would have the current passed along his spinal column for an instant, when all would be over. The time required for a sentation to travel from an injured, part of the body to the brain, it is stated, ia about one-tenth,' of a second, whereas an electrie shock would do its work in the one hundred thousandth part of a second. The h?an would be dead before the Serves could bring to his brain any message of the t-hock, bo tbat the jiain it might inflict would not be .perceived. , The leport is of general impor tance as well as interesting in that if ,it should be adopted it would be likely to effect legislation with r 4ptct to the death penalty in all the States. The indications are, jiowerer, that it will not be adopted. TIIK HARDSHIP OP TUB PARMKtt. ; The difficulty with which the farmer has to contend is that the price of his goods is regulated by the price at which he sells his surplus in the markets of Aha world While he has to pay for all he buys prices arti ficially elevated by the enormous war tariff. He ban to sell in competition with all the world while he is obliged to make the purchases of what he needs for the household and for work on the farm from the manufacturers of the northern section of the Uni ted States. He gets the smallest prie possible for his surplus pro duct. He has to pay two or three prices on the Fame basis for all he has to buy. He pays toll on every plough he uses, every wool hat he wear, every spool of thread the good wife gets to tatisfy the extortionate greed of the. manufacturing monopo list, the pet of the Republican high tariff. Is it any wonder that he finds it difficult to make both ends meet: that Jie liuds it impossible to get ahead irr- the world T He is the newer, ol wood and drawer of water, in deed and in truth, for the Northern tariff-baron. The latter is the favorite of the Re publican system. He has his marble palaces, his steam yachts,: his fast horses; and he it is who is able to Visit Purope with the rest of the gay orld and squander there thousands upon thousands of dollars every year. The farmer must toil and delve to suppoit this magnificence. If he could put up the price of his products as the Republicans have put up the tariff on manufactured articles he would have no reason to com plain. He would have an off set at hand for the rapacity of the protected manufacturer of the North. But he Wasn't the power to do this. He is at the mercy of the Republican high tariff. ' :' Yet he i largely in the majority in this .- country. He is the great body pf the population. He is entitled to equal rights and privileges under the government with all other, citizens Hence we demand that the tariu be revised and reduced somewhat in his interest, since it has been steadily framed away from that interest for a quarter of a century, aa well.as in tne; interest of others; that its inequali ties be smoothed away as far as poa.- sible, its enormities lopped off, sor that the burden of taxation necessary; to the Bupport of the Government? may be as equally distributed as pos sible among all classes of citizens. Thb Petersburg Index-Appeal de- -?otcB a crlumn to "the North Caroli na plan" of encouraging immigration with a view to the development of the!

Our contemporary alsd observes that "A most pleasing feat ure of the prosperity that so largely1 abounds throughout our sister State is the fact that it is not of ah ephem eral character. It is a lasting pros perity, not built upon a contingency, as is frequently the case in; many of the western commonwealths of tbfe union." We believe this a very cor rect diagnosis and appreciate the in terest our friends across the line dis play in our welfare. Leap Year proposals are not all a joke, by any means. Miss Lulu Tut burg and Mr. Joseph McCaragar, of Springfield. Mo., attended a leap year party Friday night. She proposed, was accepted and they were married Saturday. Moreover, no longer ago than yesterday a handsome member of the News and Obsebvxb staff re ceived by mail a proposal, written in a delicate, educated, determined hand. In view of these things,, who will say tbt there is nothing practical in the leap year sentiment T The rival Republican factions of the second district have patched up a peace under the soothing influences of Loge Harris' presence, and are o meet in convention in Weldon May 30th.

Winston folks are sometimes slow to move; but when they do, well, just "stand from under," for something is going to. be done, Developments will at an early day be made in rail road matters that will bring joy: to the hearts of all who are interested in the progress and' development of our town and country. . The latest enterprise that has been placed on a sure basis is a street railway. All obstacles that hare heretofore ob structed prqgress in that direction have been rearoved, and Judge John M. White, of Charlottesville, Va., acting for a large railway company, has been here awaiting the action of our . authorities' in the matter, and yesterday everything was settled to his satisfaction, ? so far as is now known. Work willBO doubt begin at an early date, &nd Winoton and her old sister Sajem will soon rejoice in the jinele of -thei horse car bell. The enterprise will pay well here, andj will be of vast benefit to tho 'Twin City.' The line will extend down into Salem one mile from Court House Square, and -Will run on the principal streets in Win ston. Several mad dogs have been killed, running loose in the streets.

Cofi. Jka. G. Bras is SIbsskxgxb. William B. Meares was born at Spring Garden, New Hanover county, in 1787, read law in the office of Judg Gaston, and it is needless to add that under the instruction of Such s teacher he was thoroughly grouqded in its principles and prac tice. ) Mr. Meares was distinguished for eqund Judgment and vigor of intellect- He was a forcible, earnest speaker, and possessed a native strength of character rarely equalled. He went to the business of life With a spirit of invincible resolution which insured success. In his public and professional life there is much to give hiui poeition among the fore inostjmen of his day, and whether we consult the legislative annals of our Stateor the roll of the bar, we shall find Coat there were but few before whoift his genius had cause to be abasded. His first appearancn in publtp life was in 1818, as the repre sentative in the Legislature from the townlof ilmington; he also repre sented the county of New Hanover in 1828,? 2(J '30 and '33 and won fame in .the Legislative halls as one. who fear lessly expressed his views on all sub jects bii1 shrank from none of the responsibilities of his convictions. '. As au evidence of the confidence re pose ii) him, aud also of his popu larity, it is remembered that he came wituju one vote oi oeing elected to the Senate of the United States, and was only defeated by an accident. Like: most men of positive character, he ws ardent in temperament, and did fjot hesitate to boldly utter all that $iis sense of honor might prompt him to declare ; and yet he was keenly alive,to all the kinTlly impulses and morev'generous virtues of our nature. He had a natural antipathy to shams, and sovereign contempt for cant, was f man of marked characteristics, with a self-reliant and indomitable will He was one of the most suc cessful practitioners at the bar, and b. capae equally as successful as a planner, after Ms retirement from the active duties of his profession; for he was man of method and eminently practical. He was one, if not the tirst'in the State, to direct attention to the 'improvement of stock, and im ported some of the best thorough bred'attle, the short-horn Durham, thaVre brought into North Caro lina, k He also introduced many im provements in the system of farming, as then practiced, which, however, werei'cocsidered at the time as being rather visionary, or as impracticable innovations upon the established ideaa; but experience has since dem onstrated the wisdom of his sugges tions! the results proving clearly that he wb far in advance of the times in whicjl he lived. Hf was one of the original project ors ahd the active and ardent friend of that great work of internal im provement, the Wilmington & Wei don railroad, subscribing liberally to its stock, and in all its difficulties and embarrassments his faith in its ulti- mate'success never wavered. While on a visit to his friend Dr. Hawkins, at Warrenton, in this State in 0jtobtr, 1841, he was taken with a congestive chill and died very sud denly. He was in the full meridian of hi 4 powers, being not more than fifty (our years of age, and left a lbrgofamily of son?, many of whom have become distinguished in the va rioujursuits of life. A large repre sentation of his family still havetneir home; here, and are greatly esteemed and respected. f1 COL JOHN D. JOXE3 was the son of David Jones, an officer in Gfcn Washington's army. He was with Washington at the crossing of the Delaware, where he gained dis tinction and was promoted to the rank of colonel. He married Annie Morns, a relative of Robert Morris, ne f the signers of the Dei; clarafion of Independence and the distinguished financier of the revolu tion, fi Soon after his marriage he re moved to North Carolina aud settled at Lcjve Grove, on the northern con fines 'jot this city, at which place his son, Col. John D. Jones, was born in 1790 v CoJ. Jones received a collegiate education and was reared to the prac tice f the law, but early abandoned it f 06 the more congenial pursuits of literature and agriculture. He held the rn of a ready writer, and it was his delight to go back into the past of oiir history and, in a style of great purity and infinite humor, record the transactions and traditions of the oldetj time. It is a matter of great regr0t that no copies of his papers on thesa topics can now be had; they woud be of great interest and value. Col- Jones entered publio life in 1811;, as the representative of the coUhiy of New Hanover in the legis lature, and was also elected from the town of Wilmington in 1819-20-'21-'22 and again in 1833. He was also a member of the convention of 1835. called to amend the Constitution of the ltate, one of the ablest bodies ever assembled in North Carolina. He maintained a high position in the councils of the State; was chosen Speaker of the House of Representa tive and presided over its delibera tion!; with dignity and ability. He was a skilled debater, quick and pungent at repartee, and prompt to take ad vantage of an exposed point of an ad versary, but was - always courteous and jrbane, for he was a very courtly gentleman, and never indulged in per sonalities. Perfectly sincere, he could not tolerate deceit or prevarication in anything, and in his intercourse with the jrorld honesty of purpose seemed eveifto control him, for his candor brooked no compromise wih that sordid system of policy which .'so of tea rules mankind and which is so plainly transparent in these later days. He had the courage of his convictions; wjia! he thought he expressed, never in an offensive manner, but with a dignity and firmness that commanded universal respect. After his retirement from public life he accepted the position of naval offior for the port of Wilmington, ancfwaB subsequently elected Presi dent of the Bank of Cape Fear, whih position he held until failing heath compelled him to resign. He die at Greenville, S. C, in 1856, whie on a visit to his daughter, the wifgof the late Gen. Waddy Thomp son of that State, and was buried tbc-fce. I-remenuber him as a most estima ble gentleman, free from guile, a de lightful conversationalist, genial in manner, particularly so to the yourg, and always scrupulously regardful of thrjeehngal otnera.
