10 one case the President declares
himself entirely satisfied that the
case hadv been properly determined
by the pension bureau. - In the other
case no application had been made j
to the cension bureau, which was i
acoounted for by .the fact 'that the
husband of the proposed pensioner
whd had Hmself been drawing a pen- j
sion tot i wound had been killed by
a pistol ball in a personal encounter.
The Senate bill for adjustment of
the ; aeoounts of laborers, workmen

After a brief argument by Mr.
Breckenridire, of Kentucky, in favor
of the free-wool clause, Mr. Wilkins,
of Ohio, moved to atrike wooj from
the free ust. - r ft
Oa a division the vote was 83 to 122
and the announcement was reoeived
with applause on the Democratic side.
ueura. oowden, ox Pennsylvania,
and .Wilkins, of Ohio, were the only

Mr. Butterwortii, of Ohio wished

Sa and nay vote might be taken in
e House, but Mr. Mills declined to
comply; ;l
Tellers were then ordered slid Mr.
Wilkins' motion wae defeated,. 102 -to
120. ! . ..
Mr. Mills offered an amendment

carpet and car petings and inserting
a clause imposing a duty of six' cents
per square yard on hemp and jute

Oa motion of Mr. Mills the date
on which the free wool clause shall

fixed M January 1st, 1889.. This dis
posed of the wool sohedule. : At Mr.
Lehlbach's request the paragraph re
lating to bonnets, hoods, 5hs., was
passed 'oyer for a time. Mr Mills
moved that the paragraph conjeerniog
card doth be amended so eS ito in
crease the duty from 15 to 29 cents
per square foot and in the ease of
such cloth made of tempered steel
wire from 25 to 45 cents per Square

two dollars for China clay or wrought

have been passed over iniormauy
and the administrative portion of the
measure Was taken up.
Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey, of
fered an amendment providing that
no goods, the product in whole or in
material part of convict labor! shall
be imported for the purpose Of sale
or trade. Beiected.
On motion of Mr. Breckinridge,
of Artasas, ar amendment was
adopted excluding from the provis
ions of the section which provides
that ad valorem duties shall include
the value of the cartons, cases, boxes,
etc.,inwhich merchandise is imported,
such boxes, sacks or coverings as are
usual and necessary covering for ma
chinery. "
On motion of Mr. nulla an amend
ment ; was adopted fixing October:;!,
1888, as the date upon which the re
peal 6f the taxes on manufactured
chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco
and snuff shall go into enact.
Mr. Wise, of. Virginia, moved to
nolude in the- repeal the taxes pc
cigars, cheroots and cigarettes, it
the mills bill were passed, he Baid,
the reduction of the surplus would
not be as large as some gentlemen
supposed. In no other .way could
there be so sure a reduction of the
surplus as by ihe repeal of the to
bacco tax. Br lowering the tariff it
might be that the revenue would be
increased, and he believed that in
many instances it would be. ' (A.p-
Jlause on the Bepublican side.)
efferson had denounced the inter
nal revenue system but the American!
citizen of today saw the tax collector
armed with revolver, carbine, rule and
shot-gun. The question presented
was whether the government would
secure its necessary revenue. He
wanted it distinctly understood that
he was in favor of deriving the reve
nue for the support of the govern
ment by taxation on foreign products
imported. " 1
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, in op
posing the motion, sent to the clerk s
desk sod bad read an article written
by PrOf. It. M. Smith, of Columbia
College, in which he xleelares that it
would be a serious financial mistake
or the government to give up the
revenue derived from internal taxa
tion. I'. ;: f
Mr. Johnston, of North Oarolini,
moved . to amend Mr. Wise's motion
by providing for the repeal of all in
ternal taxes on spirits; distilled from
grain or fruit of any kind. lie did
not want, he said, free brandy or free
whisky, but he wanted to see his peo
ple free from the oppression of the
almost military law.
Mr. WcMilUn said that this year the
internal system would yield about
$120,000,000. The entire surplus did
not amount to more than $70,000,000
per annum, do that u the govern
ment embarked on a total repeal of
the internal revenue system it would
be faced on the threshold with a de
ficiency of $50,000,000 per annum!
Hence ; the question was presented:
whether Congress would abolish the
internal revenuejaystem or reduce the
duty on clothing. He spoke his
voice and the voice of his side of the
House when he said that in the con
test, between whisky and elothing he
was on the clothing side.
Mr. Johnston's motion was lost, 27
to 15- The vote was announced. :
Mr. Johnston inquired in an aston
ished tone of voice, which caused,
much laughter, "What has become of
the Republican party T I thought it
was going to vow wun me i
Mr. xost. of Virginia; ottered an
amendment similar in effect to that
offered by Mr; Wise, and he said ihat '
if Virginia stood as solidly against
all assaults of the Mills bill as it did
in regard to the tobacco feature of it,
it would be a great benefit tO that
8tate. Tobacco was as much a pro
duct of the soil a corn or grain, and
why there should be a restriction on
the sale of an agricultural product
was something beyond his under
standing. Mr. Yost's amendment was
defeated 64-to 85.
MrJ Sowden. of Pennsylvania, of-
eredf an amendment abolishing the
tax On spirits distilled from apples,
peaches and other fruit. .
Pending a vote, the committee
rose;
The Speaker announced the select
committee to investigate the importa
tion of contract labor aa Messrs. Ford,
Oates, Spinola, Guenther and Mor

Graham, N. O, July 14, 1888.
Today at 3 o'clock a Young Men's
Democratic Club was organised here.
Though the club was for the township
only, the crowd that packed the court
house represented every part) of the
county. The meeting was called to
order by McBride Holt, chairman of
our township executive committee,
and the following permanent Officers
were selected : President, J. Ll Scott,
Jr.; secretary, J. D. Kernodle; corre
sponding secretary June R. Parker,
and ten vice-presidents. 'I
While the committee on organiza
tion was out, loud calls were made for
CoL T. M- Holt, who is a favorite
with us because we know hun so well.
Col. Holt is no rhetorician perhaps
no orator but his speeches have a
ting of earnestness which always
brings interested listeners. His aud-
Wee today was well-pleased and his
erence to his county government
ord was especially warmly ap
mded. He taid his resneots to the
senior partner of Morton, Bliss & Co.
what is his name, Levi or Shylock T
in a way that interested practical
people, and most people become prac
tical when you talk of a ten-dollar
poll tax.
After the report of the committee
the president introduced Hon. Fred.
Strndwick, who spoke about forty
minutes. And what a speech U Mr.
Strndwick contrasted the two parties
in North Carolina with regard to
heir records, the personnel of the
parties and the personnel of their
tickets. He spoke of the days when
the very building in which we were
was used as a prison-house lor the
pest men in Alamance county, and he
contrasted that time with the present,
when we have a pure judiciary, an
honest government, : quiet and pros
perity. And then-he talked to Jus of
national affairs. When he referred
to the charge against Thurmani that
he bad been kind to Confederate
prisoners at Camp Chase a charge
brought by that chivalrous gentle
man from Ohio, Gov. Foraker, whose
hatred to the South finds expression
in ensuring a noble woman for acts
of chivalry to dying soldiers, Mr.
Strndwick reached the .climax of
Southern, manly eloquence. Through
out, .the speech was just what we
Wanted ringing, eloquent, enthus
ing. If North Carolina has a finer
stumper than Fred. Strndwick, he
hasn't yet visited Alamance county.
Immediately after his speech here Mr.
otrttdwick went to Thompson s town
ship to address a club to be formed
there.
One club was organized with one
hundred and seventy-five names and
it will grow until the election. Clubs
will be immediately organized in
every township. Will five hundred
majority for Cleveland, Fowle, Holt
and White Folks be enouerh for : Ala

Feidat Night, July 13, 18S8. .
It is between seasons in mercantile
affairs and regular trade is dull, but
various -circumstances have given
some impulse to speculation, and
frices of many staples ate better than
ast week. There have been heavy
rain storms in middle latitudes, caus
ing damage by floods and impeding
farm work somewhat, bu crop pros
pects are very favorable. The Presi
dential canvass excites little; interest
at the moment, and the debate on the
tariff bill ia still in progress
Lard on the spot has been dull and
closes nearly nominal at So for prime
city, $8.40a8.45 for prime to choice
We-tern, and 8.35 for refined to the
Continent. The speculation ! in lard
for future delivery waa notable early
in the week for a sharp decline in
prices, but yesterday and today there
was more steadiness, though closing
easyj
Coffee on the spot was active for
all grades early in the week, but
doe w quieter, with fair cargoes of
Rio q ioted at 14o. The speculation
in futures was variable, and yester
day there was a sharp advance, which
was mostly lost today under sales to
realize, but the close is higher than
ast Friday.
Raw sugars have been very active
and '.he close is higher at 5a5 1 Co.
for fair refining Cuba, with sales to
day of 5,239 hhds. Muscovado 88a
88 deg. test, at 5c, and 20,659 bags
Centrifugal, 96 deg. test, at oo. Re
fined sugars are also dearer, and it
is reported that refiners are oversold.
Molasses is also dearer but somewhat
nominal at 20 jc for 50 deg. test The
tea sale on Wednesday went off at
steady prices, but the offering was a
small one; new Japans sold, at 15$
18c. -
Spirits turpentine was dull and de
clined to but closes steadier.
Rosins are quiet at $1.05a$1.12o for
common to good strained. Ucean
grain freights have been more active,
but the close is quiet ;
The speculation in cotton for future
delivery at this market has been
rather sluggish for the week under
review, and the course of prices-somewhat
irregular. The Bureau report,
which was issued on Tuesday, was
more unfavorable than had been ex
pected, the figures for Texas,1 76, be-1
ing especially objected to; but it:
caused an active demand to cover
contracts, and some advance in prices.
Durness on Wednesday was followed
by a decline on Thursday, August
options giving way under free Selling,
but partially recovering and closing
steady. Heavy rains at the
South were reported to our
Cotton Exchange early in the
week ; and contributed to the
strength imparted by the Bureau re
port. ; Foreign advices have been
fairly strong. Today an uncertain
opening was followed by a decline
under increased cnerinflrs. esDeoiallv
for August and September, and the
close was dall. Cotton on tbe spot
was advanced early in the week. Ad
ditional sales were reported on Mon
day for the previous week of 4,221
bales far export and 1,143 bales for
home consumption. Today the mar
kjt wa? dull at lOJc for middling up-
ands.
The figures indicate a decrease in
the cotton in sight tonight of 844,639
bales as compared with the same date
of 1887, a decrease of 290,590 bales as
compared with the corresponding
date of 1886 and a decrease ol 325,727
bales as compared with 1885. ;
The totals show that the old inte
rior stocks have decreased daring the
week 7,810 bales and are tonight
11,081 bales mart than at the aame
period last year. The receipts at the
same towns nave been 2,314 bales
more than the same week last year,
and since September 1 the receipts at
all the towns are 104,675 bales more
than for the same time in 1886 7.

correctly stated, the truth being that
Mr. Williams' name never was with

The following fashion points for
ladies were cabled over from Paris on
Saturday : .
The Pekin stripes for redingoces
seem to be constantly more favored.
At the seashore sailor suits are being
introduced. The skirts are made of
light white flannel. When loppings
are nought for they are made and re
tained by ropings of white' twill or
dark blue. A white jacket shows tne
vest of striped and a white lersey
and this opens to allow for the dis
play of a sailor s jersey, the skirt but
toning behind. If tbe throat is
round and white it looks very well,
but if not highly fashioned by nature
it would be wise to adopt a high linen
collar with a sailor knot, etc Em
broidery will enjoy exceptional pres
tige next winter. Already ciotnes
are being massively heavy. The di-
rectoire style has had its day appa
renuv, and we are coming round to
the restorative period when woman's
dress was hideous. The style, which
is as fashionable as it is difficult to
describe, is the Esquire dress. One
was worn at a recent marriage. by the
wife of a banker. It waa in blue with
embroideries of darker hue and had
tabliers in front The hat was of
white crape. At the same wedding
Duchess De Mouchy appeared in
straight-cut dress of white and faded
pink fekin. Marquise De la Vallette
was in gray, with pleated lace worn
princess style. Bonnets of corn
flowers and ears of corn are very
fashionable. .
Nellie Grant's husband is very
rich now through his brother's, death.

The Democratic candidates arrived
at 7.40 o'clock p. m. They were met
and escorted to the Hotel Lafavette
bythe Y. M. D. C. At 8 30 o'clock
the candidates were escorted to the
stand in Cumberland Park where an
mmense orowd from all portions of
this county and the adjoining country
had assembled to hear tbe most hon
ored men of North Carolina pour out
the good words that they had for the
noble Democrats of Cumberland
county. Hon. Thos. H- Sutton first
addressed the audience in a short but
most excellent speech relating some
of the noble decisions of our
most honored Judge D. G.
Fowle while he was presiding at this
court Mr. Sutton then presented
Hon. Daniel G. Fowle to the audi
ence, ihe Judge as usual very
gracefully and eloquently entertained
the audience for some time amid the
cheers and hurrahs that were sent up
by the enthusiastic Democrats of this
grand old county. The next speaker
was Maj. Finger, who was introduced
in a short but most appropriate
speech by Capt R. 8. Huske. The
Major gave us one of his most excel-
ent speeches, bringing to light many
facts that had been kept hidden by
the Republican party. With such
men in the field as our present candi
dates such facta can no longer be
withheld from the people.

Sweet and Light.
Letter in London Times.
I should like, with your permission,
to point out a literary coincidence
which strikes me as not a little re
markable and interesting. 'Among
the many happy phrases which we
owe to the late lamented Matthew
Arnold none ia more familiar than
-sweetness and light" J have been
told, indeed, and that he himself ac
knowledged he was indebted for it to
Swift; but, at any rate, if the mint
were not his, he it was that made it a
eirt of the current coin of literature,
ut the remarkable thing is that the
same association of ideas, though ex
pressed by means of verbB instead of
nouns, is to be found in an author
from whom I suppose it is quite cer
tain bwift oould not have borrowed
it I was startled when I came upon
the passage in Philo Judeeus. Pbilo
is speaking of the manna which was
tbe food of the Israelites in the wil
derness, and, as is his wont, gives it
mystical signification. It means,
he say, the food of the soul it is a
Divine word, whence flow all
the nature and discipline of
the soul, all its wisdom
and virtue in perennial stream. And
then he asks, "What is the bread T
which Moses gave the children of
Israel to eat And the answer is, "It
is the word which the Lord ordained,
and this Divine ordinance imparts
both light and sweetness to the qoul
which has eyes to see." Philo's order
is more logical, for the "light" must
precede the "sweetness." Probably
in English the rythmical balance of
the words decided the order "sweet
ness" and "light," not "light and
sweetness." On the other hand, jt
may be said that the natural order is
in the Greek also the rythmical. This,
is an instance in which even a trick of
the memory is out of the question.
Swift, I take it, never read a line of
Philo. I only regret that, though I
lighted upon the discovery before
Matthew Arnold's death, I omitted to
tell him of it No one would have
been more interested than he in such
a literary coincidence.
The Paasage in Swift is from the
Battle-of the Books," and runs thus:
The two noblest things, which are
sweetness and light

Dabville, Va , July 16. On Sun
day 'ast a party of men gathered at
Axton, Henrv & Co's and made merry
with whisky aud hard cider. Lee
Eanes tried to drive his mule over
Hannibal Turner. Turner struck the
mule wi h a barrel stave. Eaea
alighted '.and hot words fol
lowed. Oils Eanes took Lee's
part and D. E. Davis stepped
up and declared he would defend
Turner. Gus Eanes told Davis he
was not afraid of him, when, Davis
drew a pistol and shot him dead. He
then turned and shot Lee Eanes
twice, inflicting mortal wounds, after
which he fled to the woods, brandish
ing his pistol and knife. The Eanes
brothers have many relatives in this
county and much excitement prevails.
If Davis is caught he will probably
be lynched. .

Feeding a Varlaty.
Charlotte Democrat.
In feeding your poultry, from the
kitchen com 9 many of the very
choicest tid bits, which find their way
into the capacious craws of the chicks;
and it not only receives the monotony
of grain food, but it turns to profita
ble account what would otherwise be
thrown out and lost. Bits, of bread
and meat, the crumbs from the table
cloth, the bits of celery and scraps of
cabbage, all are relished by the fowls.
While the; fowls will greedily take
these just: as they come fro a the
kitchen, t'-iere are miny other things
which oould be profitably used as
chicken food, if but a little care and
time be bestowed upon its prepara
tion. There are the potato parings;
these can readily bs utilized by boil
ing them a few minuteB, and while
still hot mixing a few handfuls of fine
corn meal with them, after which
they can be set away to steam. When
they are cool, the mass can be fed to
the fowls, and they will soon clean
up every particle. They can also be
used without the corn meal. Turnip
parings can be similarly treated; and
is not this far better than permitting
them to be carelessly thrown away
and wasted T Green feed is the de
mand of every living fowl at all sea
sons of the year. Those ,who have
not been careful to supply every pen
of fowls with green feed in some
form, have! no idea of the amount
bey will consume.
With twenty-five fowl in a yard or
pen, you may in sutni""- mow and
give them a bushel baak...iui oi the
Bhort, tender grass from a lawn every
day, and all that they do not eat of it
they will so thoroughly destroy
that you cannot find it from day to
day. If it is not convenient to give
hem the short cut grass, give them
daily every refuse green things from
the kitchen irarden, from the market
garden, fromfevery source, and they
will select what they like best, and so
ferociously that you will won .ur how-
they can consurtu so m igj. And
these healthy hens will "shell out"
the dividends to you which will pay
for the trouble.
We have asserted almost an inum-
erable number of times that corn
alone is not suitable food for laying
hens, for it will make them too fat to
be healthy a season through. The
nature of this raw grain is heating
and drying to both blood and tissue.
Hens fed three times a day upon
whole, uncooked corn, for the greater
part of their diet, will not lay regu
larly, even in the laying season; nor
will they produce two-thirds the
eggs in a year, no matter what may
be the variety bred, that the same
fowls will give you if fed alternately
upon scalded meal and boiled potatoes
in the morning, green food of some
nutritious kind with scraps from the
table at noon, and dry cracked corn,
wheat and pats at night
