Cor. of the News and Observer.
Your correspondent ventures to
say that if tht re is anything that gives
the NEW ad Oesebvib more pleasure
than ; hearing of the prosperity and
energy of North Carolina towns it is
the telling it to its thousands of read
ers in order that they may enjoy it.
It has no local prejudices, but a fair
partiality for the capital where it is
printed and whence it sends sound
Democratic doctrine to the inhabi
tants of the plains and the dwellers
in tHe mountains. When it tells
them of the unusual activity recently
developed in building factories by the
peopk of Charlotte it will do so in a
sympathetic spirit and with the privi
lege it claims of carrying a lesson to
our 6wu good citizens.
They are going to build cotton
mills in Charlotte. The capital for
three mills, to run thousands of spin
dles and hundreds of looms, and lo
cost 4ear a half million dollars, was
subscribed in ten days. How? This
-way.
After the annual meeting of the di
rectors of one of the national banks
was concluded and the stockholders,
directors and officers all were rejoic
ing iifthe sense of faithful discharge
of duty and fat delicious dividends,
Mr. McAden, in a hospitable way en
tirely his own, announced that there
was a dividend in the back room to be
parsellod out which was a reward to
the inner man for the fasts that week
ly meetings had often rendered com
pulsory on the busy directors.
While discussing the business of
the city generally tho conversation
drifted to the lack of factories of all
sorts -in sufficient numbers to vary
the interests of the community and
to give, continuous and steady trade.
One director, well known for his char
acter, wealth and learning, was begin
ning sj jeremiad when he was stopped
by the practical and Bolving question,
Why don't you put some of your mon
oy'in a cotton mill, Judge? They
pay here and hereabouts. I'll put in
!J10,QOO if you will, said the plucky
judge. Done, said his doughty friend.
There was $20,000. Perhaps there are
some other gentlemen present who
are not too bashful to do good and to
distribute, said the irresistible
Mr. McAden, and there were.
Before the doors closed on the retir
ing capitalists; there was 185,000
pledged by men good for that amount
with an 0 added. There was work
for a hundred men, masons and carpen
ters; work for a hundred women, boys
and girls; and work for the subscri
bers to make it successful- and by
economy and care to keep it as a
wage mine for honest workers of
Charlotte. The capitalists felt that
they had done an unselfish and patri
otic but thoroughly business-like
day's work. The working people Baw
ahead of them constant work, fair
wages,; means of educating children
and acquiring a homestead.
There is nothing 'ike a modest glass
of grog to loosen up hearts and pock
ets after business, said Mr. Mc
Aden, and he enjoyed his subscription
and aphorism.
Next day all talk was of cotton facto
ries, and the one central idea was to
get the money to build them. But
capitalists are not as thick as fiddlers ;
are said to be in a land that is warmer
than this and the same capitalists
didn't feel called upon to make it a
regular afterpiece to their directors'
meeting. This didn't stagger such
such as Mr. Weddington, Mr. John
Vanlandingham and Representative ,
E. E P. Osborne. They set to work
to get hp two more cotton factories
on the co operative plan, or plan fol
lowed in building and loan associa
tions. Mr. Weddington wanted $125,-.
000 in 1,250 shares .of .100 each, to be
paid for in regular weekly instalments
of fifty cents a week. Saturday night
they had over 1,100 shares subscribed
and the first instalment paid, the
land bought and a meeting of the stock
holders to organize and get to work.
Mr. Osborne had enough "stock
subscribed on the same plan but with
twenty-five cents weekly payments to
assure the success of the mill, pre
sented articles of incorporation and a
deed for the site.
Just here let it be said that the land
owners acted with liberality and sold
the sites for fair prices at rates under
rather than over market prices.
This begins the year well for Char
lotte. : Can't Raleigh do as well?
It is not necessary to go exclusive
ly into cotton. The manufacture of
the raw material of whatever kind that
we have accessible and that
can be carried to markets
within", easy reach is our
need. Ono of the most successful men
engaged in selling goods to mer
chants who has ever gone from Ral
eigh, Mr. J. A. Higgs, told your'cor
respondent that he would undertake
to eeJlyevery yard of plaids and white
fooda that would be made by two
mills in Raleigh, and that, too, when
there was depression in trade.
Our pot ton is good,; as good as the
befit. Our railway facilities are as
good as those of Charlotte, Shelby,
Alamance, Randolph or other manu
facturing community; our climate is
as good; our people are as business
like and industrious; our money is as
abundant. Why cannot our, men of
money and men who will save money
from their ,ear did gs, whether made by
trade or bv professional or manual la
bor, unite in'subscribing money to build
a least one grand mill that will make
money for investors and employees
When one mill shall have been built
and successfully operated others will
come in regular course.
Manufacturing will then run into
kindred and new channels and it will
be comparatively a short while before
Raleigh will be not only the pleasant-
est residence city m the best State Of
the best section of America, but a
city of no mean pretensions in the
manufacture of cotton, tobacco and
other natural products.

Mr. : Edmunds, from the judiciary
comfLittee, to which had beta re
ferred the investigation into the Jack
son "(Miss.) election troubles, re
ported a resolution authorizing that
coruAittee to send for persons and
papej-s in inquiring into the alleged
participation of Federal officials in
the suppression of the vote of col
ored citizens.
Mr. Vest said that as a member of
that committee he had consented to
the reporting of the resolution be
cause it was confined to the conduct
of Uhited States officials. The reso
lution was adopted.
Among the bills reported from the
committee and placed on the calen
dar were the following:
For the admission of the State of
Dakota, and the organization of the
Territory of Lincoln. (The minority
report is to be presented by Mr. But
ler.) , .

eminent to participate in the interna
tional exhibition at Melbourne, to cel

Mr. Frye called up the motion .to

whicKhe said the President had clear
ly thrdwn down the gauntlet of free
trade.
Mr. Palmer, of Mchigan, gave no
tice that he would address the Sen
ate tomorrow on the subject of his
bill to '.regulate immigration.
ThefBlair educational bill was then
taken op and discussed by that Sena
tor for. nearly an hour, when, at 3 50,
the Senate proceeded to executive
business. At 4.15 the Senate ad
journed. HOUSE.
The journal of Saturday's proceed
ings having been read, Mr. Crisp, of
Georgia, objected to its approval on
the ground that it states that the gen
tleman J from West Virginia (Mr.
Hogg) ntered a motion on Saturday
Jo reconsider the vote by which the
previous question was ordered on
the Theebe-Carlisle election case. He
thought that there was some mistake
about that. The gentleman from
West Virginia had entered a motion
to reconsider the vote by which Mr.
PerkihS' resolution re opening the
case had been defeated, but the chair
had declined to entertain it on the
ground' that it w as not in order.
Ihe gentleman bad not entered the
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the previous qae&tion had been
ordered.
The Speaker pro tern, stated that
his recpllection was in conformity
with the statement in the journal.
Mr. ;tL0g stated that when he
moved o reconsider the vote on the
substitute the Speaker had stated
that the motion would not be in order
until the vote by which the previous
question had been ordered was recon
sidered. He (Mr. Hocg) had Baid
Then I enter that motion."
Mr. Crisp thereupon withdrew his
objection and the journal was ap
proved. 5 Mr. Crisp demanded the
regular order.
Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, rising
to a question of privilege, sent to the
clerk's desk to have read what pur
ported fco be an interview with Mr.
Unsp, published in yesterday s W asfa
ington I'ost,: which he stated reflect
ed on a large majority of the House.
Mr. U .Nejll, of Missouri, suggested
that there was no question of privi
lege presented, as the country had
already reflected upon the minority
of the House. .
The interview vas read at length.
In it Mri Crisp criticised the action
of the Republicans for refusing: to
vote on the Carlisle case.
Mr. Ihbbell, of South Carolina,
rose to a point of order, and contend
ed that! the matter was not a privi
lege one:- Besides this there- was now
pending before the House a question
of high privilege affecting the right of
a member to his seat, arid until tnat
question was settled the House could
not take: up and settle a question of
lesser privilege.
tmr Chair, ruled that the extract
didotlallcge that any member was
influenced by corrupt or improper
motives and therefore did not pre
sent the: question of privilege. The
Chair was also ready to rule that where
there was a question of highest privi
lege pending in the House he would not
entertaifl any other question of priv
ilege. The Tboebe-Carlible case was then
called. up, and the hoube proceeded to
vote on the majority resolution, con
firming JMr. CiTlisle': title to his seat.
The resqluti' a was adopted, yeas 10-t,
nays 7, Messrs. Caunon, Cooper, Dav
enport, McKenna, Post and Steele,
Republicans, voted in the affirmative,
and Messrs. Baker?, of Illinois, Brow
er, Buchanan, Cheadle, Hovey, Kerr
and Laidlaw, Republicans, in the neg
ative, i
Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, called at
tention to the fact that Mr. Thoebe
had bad inserted in the liecord cer
tain,langiiage upon the committee on
elections; which ho had not used in
his speech upon the floor. He (En
loe) protested against Mr. Thoebe's
right to do this, and inveighed against
the practice on the part of members
changing. their itiuurks for publica
tion. Mr. Fjnloe s'.at'd that in with
drawing --(lis motion, that he had ac
complished his purpose in calling the
attention of the -Heme to the fact
that Mr. ; Thoebe had taken ad
vantage ,of the privalege granted
him to inSert in tho Record language
which he : had not uttered in the
House."
Mr. Reed, of Maine, suggested that
Mr. Thoebe was only availing himself
of all the privileges of the iiouse.
Mr. Enloe moved that the record
be ametded so as to make it contain
oinly the language used by Thoebe
upon the floor.
Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, suggested
that as the privilege of the floor had
been extended to Thoebe he was en
titled to revise his remarks as it was
the custom of the members to do.
.As there was no disposition shown
on the Republican side to make a
contest over the motion Mr. Enloe
withdrew it, amid derisive laughter
Irom tho Republicans.
Under the call of States the follow
ing bills and resolutions were intro
duced aud referred:
By Mr. Oates,of Alabama, to refund
the bonded debt of the United Staten,

journed. Another Bank Cashier Gone Wrong.
Washixoion, Jan. 22. The Comp
troller of the Currency was today in
formed by telegraph that the First
National Bank of Auburn, N. Y.,
closed its doors this morning by
reason of the heavy defalcation on
the part of its cashier, Chas. O'Brien,
who has absconded, and who is now
supposed to be in Canada. He was
also informed that Bank Examiner
Getman has taken charge of the bank
as an insolvent institution. The
amount of the defalcation is not
stated.
Aububn, N. Y., Jan. 23". The doors
of the First National Bank of Auburn
closed this morning and the follow
ing notice was posted : "Pending
examination of the affairs of the bank
and in the absence of the cashier, this
bank will be closed until further no
tice. Demands payable here will be
received here." Bank examiner Clark
arrived here Friday, and it is sup
posed this visit precipitated matters.
He is now in charge of the books, but
absolutely nothing authentic concern
ing them is known to outsiders. It
i3 not believed that any defalcation
has taken place, but that the whole
trouble is due to mismanagement in
lending funds on iusufficient collateral
and alio a ing customers to make large
overdrafts. A false statement was
made to the bank examiner to conceal
the true state of affaire, and Cashier
Charles O'Brien and book-keeper
Elmer E Morse have fled the city, pre
sumably taking the train West on
Saturday afternoon.
Considerable excitement prevails
upon the streets and the air is thick
with rumors. It is not believed that
the depositors will suffer a loss, but
some of Che smaller business con
cerns, finding their source of supplies
cut off, may beforced to the wall.
The annual statement of the bank,
published Dec. 15, 1887, shows a cap
ital stock paid in of $150,000; undi
vided profits, $42,378; deposits sub
ject to check, $248,270; demand
certificates " of deposit, $356,045..
The Iosds and discounts are given as
$644,078 and overdrafts are repre
sented as being only $2,812.
An Attempt to Kill Lout Michel.
Paris, Jan. 23. An attempt was
made to kill Louise Michel at Havre
last: evening. She was making an ad
dress at a meeting of anarchists
when a man in the audience named
Lucas suddenly arose and pointing a
revolver at the speaker fired two
shots at her. She received a serious
wound in the head and the lobe of
one of her ears was torn away. Lu
cas had a narrow escape from lynch
ing at the hands of the, infuriated
anarchists, and it was only the timely
arrival of the gendarmes that saved
him. He was locked up. A later ex
amination shows that the wound is
not of a serious nature.
No Epidemic at Asheville.
Abhiville, N. C, Jan. 21. In view
of the reports which are in circulation
with regard to the alleged prevalence
of epidemic diseases in this city, the
physicians of the Asheville Board of
Health have made the following state
ment: "With one exception, and that
of a mild type, there have been no
new cases of meningitis for five days.
There is no epidemic of any kind or
sort prevailing in this city.

NEWS BY WIRE.
New York, Jan 23. Driscoll was
hanged at 7:25) this morning. The
Tombs was surrounded by 150 police
under command of Inspector Williams
and they had plenty to do in keeping
order among the groups of young
men whose hard faces told that they
were the remnants of the once famous
Whyo gang. Among them were some
of the brazen-faced young women of
the class to which Breezy Garrity,the
woman for whoso life Driscoll was
to pay the forfeit, belonged. Driscoll
went to sleep about midnight, but
awoke at half-past three and from
that time until he was taken to the
gallows was engaged with the priests
He walk to the scaffold with a firm
step and before the trap was sprung
cried out in a loud voice, "Jesus, have
mercy on me!"' ; His neck was broken
and the end came without a struggle,
Elbridge Grry, chairman of the
legislative committee appointed to
recommend the most humane method
of executing criminals, was a member
ofjthe sheriff's jury at the hanging of
Dan Driscoll this morning. He ex
pressed himself ;as much pleased with
the quickness of death but said that'
in view of tho numerous bungling
hangings the recommendation of the
use of electricity would be persisted
in.
A Large Failure.
New Y'obk, Jan. 23. M. and E.
Solomon, tobacco dealers at 85 Maiden
Lane, made an assignment today with
preferences aggregating to $61,319.
The assignment was forced by the
coming due today of a large draft
which the assignors could not meet.
The dsll trade and slow collections
are given as the principal cause
of the failure. Another cause is an
investment in western tobacco of
1884, which turned out badly. The
liabilities are roughly estimated at
$350,000, of which 2225,000 is for
merchandise. The assets consist of
a largo consignment of Havana and
Sumatra tobabco and outstanding ac
counts, which the attorney for the
firm thinks will realize at a moderate
estimate $250,000. Tho firm was es
tablished in 1852, and always stood
high in commercial rating.

Commercial Epitome.
N. V. ConinH n ia.1 and Financial Chronicle.
Friday Ni;ht, Jan. 20, 188S.
The weather has continued severe
ly wintry. TLe "blizzard"' which
swept over the northwest blockaded
railroad trains several days and
caused the loss of many lives. It
finally extended down the Missis
sippi Valley nearly to the Gulf, and
has retarded the movement of the
cotton crop. There is at the close
the prospect of milder weather. The
strikes in the Pennsylvania coal le
gions make, apparently, little or no
progress toward adjustment, but no
serious scarcity of coal is felt. The
opening of trade for the spring sea
son is under adverse circumstances,
aud is therefore slow, but prices are
well maintained for such staple goods
us have not been subject to specula
tive influences, and a comfortable
feeling pervades mercantile circles.
The speculation in lard for future
delivery has been active at fluctuating
values. The opening was depressed,
and on Tuesday morning a panicky
feeling at Chicago wa3 followed bv a
sharp decline here, since which values
have been gaining strength. Lard on
the spot also declined, but partially
recovered, and today was fail ly active
at 7.55c for prime city, 7.70a7a75c for
prime to choice Western, 7 80c for
refined to the continent and 8. 40c to
South America.
Pork declined early in the week, in
sympathy with Western markets, but
closes steadier; mess. $15al5.25; extra
prime $12 75al3, and clear $16al8.
Cutmeats have favored buyers, but
closed active aud firm; pickled bellies,
7fa7c should GjjaGjle, and hams 9a
ulOc; smoked shou:der3 8a8c and
hams llallfc. Beef and beef hams,
remain quiet and nearly nominal.
The speculation in ilio colTeo bus
reflected a pretty fuU volume of busi
ness, but under various unfavorable
phases of foreign cdvices prices show
a marked decline, today showing a
further reduction. Cotton on the
spot has been fretly sold at drooping
values, and to la v No. 4 Rio was
placed at 17c.
Raw sugars havo been depressed
and close at some decline, without
leading to any revival of business.
Fair refining Cuba is quoted at 5c,
and Centrifugal at 5 15 iGa6c for 96
deg. test. There is also a marked
decline in molasses which sold today
at 23c for 50 dog. test. The auction
sale of teas on Wednesday went off at
very steady prices.
The speculation in cotton for fu
ture delivery at this maiket has been
quite active for the week under re
view. The opening was bouyant.
The reduced movement of the crop,
although said to bu due in part to
the severe weather in the Southwest,
was made the basis of a.i active spec
ulation, short crop estimates being1
again asserted with considerable per-:
tinacity, and the statistical position
pointed to; but the bears claimed
that all this had been "discounted.";
But the advance continued until this
crop had risen 30 to 35 points from
the lowest figures of the previous
week (which occurred in the course of
Tuesday) and then the buying came
to a halt. Much of the "short inter
est" had iu the mean time been elimi
nated; and although receipts at the
ports continued small Liverpool weak
ened on Wednesday and this market
followed that ; but there was a par-,
tial recovery with the dif
ference, however, that athe early
months wero the weakest instead of
the strongest as for some days pre
viously, and AprL1, instead of March,
became the leo Jir.g month in the vol
ume of busiut
opening unde;
was followed
smaller recti y
finally there
Yesterday a weak
. ill Liverpool advices
a recovery on the
at the ports, and
was an irregular ad
vance, the interior movement being:
much reduced and the receipts at
Memphis and St. Louis notably small.
Today there was an early advance on
the continued small crop movement,
but it was fully lost under sales to
realize, interior stocks being main
tained at pretty fully figures. Cot
ton on the spot begins to show some
accumulation and the demand is very
slow, but in sympathy with the spec
ulative market quotations advanced
l-16c on Saturday and c on Tues
day. But on Wednesday there was a
decline of l-16c, which was recovered
today, and middling uplands closed
at 10c.
The figures indicate a decrease in
the cotton in sight tonight of 181,064
bales as compared with the same date
of 1887, a decrease of 29,335 bales as
compared with the corresponding
date of 1S86 and a decrease of 34,214
bales as compared with 1385.
The totals show that the old inte
rior stocks have decreased during the
week 11,655 bales and are tonight 50,
410 bales more than at the same pe
riod last year. The receipts at the
same towns have been 18,589 bales
less than the same week last year, and
since September 1, the receipts at all
tne towns are 104,888 bales more than
for the same time in 1886-7,
A correspondent in the New Berne
Journal signing himself "Craven"
nominates Charles M. Busbee, Esq.,
of this city for Lieutenant Governor.
He says: "His nomination would
strengthen the ticket and be hailed
with pleasure by this people. I hon
estly believe that he would, under
the circumstances, receive a much
larger vote in the county than any
other man who may be nominated
for the position."

Th establishment of a cotton mlB
here would be of such great advan
tage to the growth of Raleigh and
the interest manifested by many of
our leading business in that direction',
induces us to call a meeting for Fri
day night next, 7:30 o'clock, at the
Mayor's office. Thos9 of the ciiizns.,

growth of tho city, or :n a-Lliug ths

to be present. '
If the large amount of capital now
invested by oiir citizen.! in bonds and
mortages could be devoted to the
establishment of cotton; mills,
the raw material now l
being shipped to other points could
be manufactured here, the owners Qf
the stock would in all probability re
ceive dividends equal to the interest;
now paid them, the real estate of the
city would rapidly increase in value,
and hundreds of employees would
earn a living who now find it very
difficult to find employment. 1 '
Gentlemen who have hud experi
ence n the management of mill prop
erty, or who have given the subject
of establishing a cotton mill: at Ral
eigh careful thought aud study are
requested to address the meeting.
