Washington D. C. Jan. 20 The 'nil rocputly introduced by Mr. Gaines, Teuuessett, for the re I i 0 f of obacoo growers, aud the vigor ith which be 11 urging it, is wakening much inteiest. It repeals all tax-a aid restriction a free aud unbmittd trade 11 leaf tobacco ai d permits any dv, anywhere, to buy and!. sell i in any quantity. It provides ! (bat a grower may stein aud iwist ard sell his own crop with oat tax or license, or deliver it to another person to sell for bim Che heavy tax ou leaf tobaoco (six cents) and the rigid aud. ducting n q.nrements of the law reulat- ug its manufacture have given the tobacco trust complete control of tobacco aud growers are com plaining everywhere that they are not allowed a living price for growing it. Mr. Gaines has gone laboriously through the history of tobacco tax legislation aid found 'hat at ita inceptiio it was dis tinctly aud repeatedly stated that it was only a war measure raud would be remitted when the war uecesssitipssubsided. .All of those ar measures have baeu remitted -xcent this burden on tobacco growers. Under existing law the department rigidly holds that the least chango 111 tho form of raw tobacco as it comes out of the barn is "manufacturing." If. a. farmer stems. a;, hand, or twists or presses it, or in any wide ohauges it from its form 111 the natural hand, be becomes a man ufacturer aud must either take out ft license aud conform to the various aud onerous nqjirmeuts of the law, or he is prosecuted and flood aud imprisoned as a felou. Ha is aot permitted to prepare bis own product for mar ket nor participate in any prints. The law delivers him bodily over to the trust, i tooacoo growers everywhere are urging the relief afforded by Mr. Gaines bill. From the action takeuby several of the southern states, it looka row liko the treaty with Panama would be ratified by the Seuate. The peo ple of the South undoubtedly want Lara and fSoaaa For Sale. Tha British M'dioal Journal prints a story wh oh competes baud eomelv m,ih the r-cent acoount ol ths graftine? of au ear in tha Unit ed State. It is the case of an old iuiu of (JO. the flogr of whose rght hand was bitten IT by a pig In company with a friend and the flugur the man walked six miles to a doctor's bouse, when after bunt- lug in all hie pockets, tha friend produced tbe finger, coverwd with tobacco dust. I' spito of th fact that the fiigr bad been off about two hours, it was fiiei in place again and stump and tiugor have grown together nicely. The American ear graftu g story also seems to have aroused a spirit f emulatim m France, c tie re a Frenchman hat writteu to the French surg-nii:, Guillaume Livet offering bia ears, noae and pieces of his skin for grafting purposes lu case Dr. L.vet does not used them in bia own practice, the cor respondent would esteem it a favor if he would near him 111 mini iti the event of a colleague n quiring them. II also suggests that the Academv of Scieuce and tbe rac ulty of Mdiciue might aud use lor parts of a living body. "If so, oleuse let me know and I will be most gratetul," he sa,a. He adds a post'irtpt to the effect that the charges for parts of hi anatomy w ill be "or derate at first." Iudeed. it is ouly natural to suppose that the prices will ad vance proportionately to tbe re ductiou of bis peraou. He also says that special arrangements may be made for tbe poor who ueed pieces of him. (RUSSIA AND JAPAN. Predominance o! Japan in Korea Recognized.

It's in ourjine; it's our business to keep farm sup plies of all kinds and we strive to tetp, our stock fresh and equal to all demands. We still continue agents for the celebrated Hickory Wagons Which for Years have given such general satisfaction in this and other sections, and unhesitatingly say that for farm aud road purposes it is not excelled Besides having a supply of these on hand we have recently received a full line of Cart and Wagon Wheels and Open and Top Buggies.

NORMENT & CO. caual that they have bo long been denied by the machin atious of the transcontinental railroads and the help of their co-ad jutors, the. Republicans in Congress. They are eminently rignu in wanting a canal. It means much for them and their future, but they ought not to tie the bands of theft Sena tors in Congress 10 the matter of ratification. If Panama were the only place at which a caual could be built, they perhaps would be justified id telling their Seuators that this is the last chance and we mast have tbe canal no matter how many commandments we fracture in getting it. But this is not tbe ouly place where a canal can be built, but there was a law ou the statute books for the construction of a canal at Nicaragua, and the money already appn prated for it. There was not tbe shadow of excuse for the rape of Colombia aud the birth of the bastard Panama re public. The rape was committed, and the bastard was born for the reason that the railroads wanted tbe canal as far away from the United States as it was possible to get it provided there was to be a caual whether or no, aud because the Republican party was to get a a 1 r . I - campaign luna ot nve minion dollars cat of the ten "million promised to Panama. These are two exoelleut reasons from a Re publican standpoint for looting a neighbor republio of one of its proyinoea or states. While it is true we ail can recognize a bastard child as a fact and an entity, aud not quarrel with lt.becauseof its il legitimate birth, yet we all condemn tne crime 01 oastaray. For that crime tbe Republican ad mjiratiorilLb.Q.pldbrpa n ished bythw-pecple of the country. The tr4y should be turned down. Instead of allowing the President to say to tbe Democrats in the Seuate that it is up to them to ratify tbetreaty or get no canal, they shdofd defeat the ratification, of the treaty-and then say to the President that it is op to him to obey the Spoooer law and go to Nicaragua or get no canal. If tbe treaty ia ratified it will have been done bv the workings of the coo.- mercial consciences of the people of tbe country. Oxford Female Seminary Burned. Tbe Fmale Seminary at Oxford, N. C , caught ou lire Monday morning while tbe teachers aud scholars were at breakfast, says a diapatcb. Tbe fire originated in oue of the rooms on the second 11 ior, under tbe carpet, catchiug from the heater. The alarm was given and the hook and ladder company respond ed quickly, but it was seen from the first that the entire building would be burned, aud the work of saving the furniture of tbe build ing and the trunks of tbe boarders was begun. Pianos, bed clothes, csrpets. and everything that could be brought out was earned into the streets aud adjacent yards The fire caught in tbe south end of tbe building aud burned tbe en tire structure. Fortunately the wind was blowing in a favorable direction and not very strong, which saved tbe surrounding resi dences. Tbe young ladies ct the school will be cared for in tbe fa miles of Oxford until they leave for their homes. Estimates as to insurance nu the property are around $10, 000, the loss beiug placed all the way from $10,000 to $25,000. The school bad just opened un der most encouraging auspices and tbe people of Uxtord are in full Bympathy with Prof. Hobgood in this calamity. It was fortunate indeed that this fire ocenred in the day time. The lack of a fire company was keenly felt. dame In a Hollow Log. Irvin Williams, of 2416 Vuabe street, Richmond, while banting for birds a few days ago noticed his setter, Dick, standing firm and backed up by tbe setters of Jam's Wright, Pat and Ruby. The dogs had trailed tbe birds to a hollow log. Pat, a beautiful blue.,.Belton setter, weut into the hollow log Youuz Williams took off his coat and pushed bis baud ijto tbe cav lty of the log, when to his eur prise, he found a dead bird Thinking there were more, he tried a second time, when be cried out as if suffering from great pain His friends Boon got to bim. only to find his arnyjaoght far op into the hollow. It was found that a 'coon had been caught in a steel trap and had broken the cbaiu. Tbe trap was a dftwhrr-trap, and had caught young Williams by the finger, which was badly cat. With much trouble he was re leased, and to the surprise of all a twenty pound 'coon aud twelve partridges were found. A Croud. Inspector. Col. Fairbrother, of Everything, says the Greensboro Record, wants a cloud inspector appointed, whose duty each day will be to olimb a high telephone pole or ascend to some roof high in tbe air and view tbe landscape o'er and report. He won)Ldc about as mn:h good as the average inspector. It is sometimes well to remem ber that if you don't say a thing jqu will hays 00 ocoaiion ' to on 7 it later.

The Aaooiated Preaa C'rrepoii dnt at Hi Pn'ersburg, under dat of Jan 18. on high authority, i able to give the following a the praseul attu f the negotiation bxiwiMtri K'issia andjtpan: Russia rrcgn'ms Japan's pr dominance in K rea and J a pin recoguiz s Rus a's special p 'i tiou in Manchuna. ThMaretwn rutin qufS'iOLB still at iso the Russian detnind for a nu'ra' z !) on ill K ireau sde of Yalu Rivt-r. which Japan Hint with a proposal for a similar neutral strip ou the Mauoburiau side. Japan also ak tor certain guarantees rovritg Maucburia which Russia thni far has declined to graut. It is point.. d ont, however, that the snr- aucrs given a few dtys sgo by Kus aia regarding open ports in Man ohuria and respect fortreaty right is a concession on this point. 1 bat tbe two countries ar tint so far apart may be fairly inferred from the following statement made by Mr. Kunoo, the Japanese minister, to the Associated Trees oorrespoudeut : War now would only te dias trou4 to both countries. O wing t tbe geographical utoat ior, au ar ed coi iiict would result in a grea drain of the men and treasure both Japan and R'iia without being decisive. Besides, I belirv it would not bo worth while to g to war ou the q iestiou still in dn pute ' lhe Czars assurance given at the Winter Palace, January 14. on the occasion ot the New Year's r ception, that he desired and intend ed to do all in his power to mam tain peaoe in the Far East, is re garded by tbe fureigu diplomats as a hostage given to the world for the preservation of peace, while tbe guarantee that Russia will re cognize the open ports and other concession in Maucburia will, it is thought, place tbe onus of a rup tare on Japan. Most of the newspa pers, perhaps, here 1 un in tb peaceful chorus, one paper remark- lug, however, tnat it was strange for Rassians to first hear of the Czir's words by way of America. There is a strong indication that, through the Czar s personal acts, the peace party is completely in the ascendant, M. Bfzobroff, the head of the war party, has gone abroad, foreign Minister Lams- dorff, who from the beginning, has favored peaoe, is now oomplefelv rehabilitated and Viceroy Alexieff has been made subservient to tbe Foreign Office in the Russo-Japa-rese negotiations. Hs extensive powers are curtailed and be can make no move without the Czar's personal approval. In fact, tbe fresh assurances conveyed through Ambassador Cassini to the author ities at Washington, of the recog nition of the rights acquired by tbe Chinese treaty, is largely at tributed to Count Lamsdorff's influence D plomatiocircles regard his conduct of the negotiations un der tbe Uztr s direction as a very hopeful sign. Another strong itflu eoceou tbe side of p,ace has been tbe attitude ot an. w nitre, presi dent of the Counsel of State, who has been bending his energies to avoid a coc (l et. A dispatch from Port Artbnr says that tbe Japanese bauks are rapidly closing up their accounts in Manchuria and are stopping business. Japan is seeking for agents in Manchuria and Krea to supply the government with infor mation or rtussian movements, in view of the harried departure of Japanese residents. The Russian occupation of Sin- Min-Tuu,80 miles west of Mukden, is now reported to be an a ceo no pUshed fact. gO.H Tb High "rkts I or I lv Year. Mr O P.

A big cop nxt year wouldu t make up the losses, inereiore. a oik crop will not put prices down to anything like what we ordinarily consider low prices." Assuming tbeeo views of Mr. Heath to be correct, the situation makes a very promising outlook for the farmer and the merchant who furnishes the farmer. And there's the commercial fertilizer man, whose prospects would seem brighter than for a long time in fbe past. H I H !

The money for all the new buildings that have been erected, includingthematerial and furnish ing", haB been spent with Meck lenburg people. Even the de6k and bells are manufactured at home. "We believe in patroniz ing home industry ," said Superin tendent Cochran ia speaking of tbe matter, "and 1 am glad tc say that we can buy everything we waut here at home.
