if Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1S8C. Prohibition in Richmond, Va. Tfce Richmond Ditpatbh reports the proceeding of one of the most imposing meetings of the! business men of the ty fvr held in Richmond, and the design of it was, to oppose the adoption .of prohibition, on which question the Wte of the city will be taken, Mon day, Wth instant. The meeting was organized by the election of ii. E. Blankensbip, Chairman; and 61 Vice Presidents. Charles JtfiJlhier was made Secretary, and Mr, Jf, V. Randolph, called the meeting to order, and put the question on the election of officers. On taking the chair, Mr. Blanken ship made a brief address in which he adverted to the practical working of , prohibition where it bad been tried, and claimed that it had failed. The meetings composed of citizens in every walk of life, was opposed to prohibi tion, and the preamble, and resolutions adopted, and the speeches mate all took that ground.. J. S. The election on Monday re aited in a prohibition defeat by a ma jority of about five thousand. downfall of the Blair Iniquity. The Blair bill is dead ! This news WiH be hailed with pleasure by many of the readers of this paper, and by all those who love their State and believe in JocaJ self-government. The measure had many objections; its unconstitu tionality in the first place and its inter ference with the State's right to con trol the public schools in the second place. But the measure is lost. Our public schools will be maintained by the State a usual. We will have no mijed schools, which would, no doubt, Jiave been necessary under the operations of the Blair bill. There will be no feder- 1 intcrferenceV no strife, no fic!:ering. Thfre will be no cause for predjudice, jao discrimination, no race troubles; all of which would hare grown out of the application of the Blair bill to our school system. There is great reason for rejoicing. North Carolina is safe under home rule ! Her educational in terests will prosper as in tlje past and her people will enjoy peace. Bail fioad Discriminations, Tt city of Atlanta has been for sometime the victim of Railroad dis crimination ;jbofc her. merchants fail ing in redress through appeals to Rail road authorities, appealed to the Railroad Commissioners, who' have had their; complaints under investigation and: have reached a decision in favor of the merchants. The discrimination will doubtless now be removed. It is strange indeed, that a corpora tion charter by the State for the bene fit of all the people thereof, should conceive that they had the right to tax one portion of citizens for the benefit of another, which is the practical re. suit of discriminating rates. I . A cart v of men, women aiw chil dren about 30-eame to Hicko ry from Caldwell county, last week, says the Press, and took the cars for Idaho emigrants to the West, seek ing a better country than North Caro lina! As an offset to this, small parties who have gone on the same errand, are frequently returning, content to live and die in North Carolina Hog Cholera Core. Dr.-W, S. Johnson, an experienced and eminent physician, says the Golds boro Messenger, asserts on careful test and observation that tobacco is not only a remedy for local inflammations but will destroy parasites whether they are internal or external; and that he has stopped hog cholera by giving an enfusion of tobacco in butter milk, having first ascertained by post mor tem examination, that internal para sites were the cause of the disease. A If ew Hot Spring. A new hot spring Jias just been discov ered at Warm Springs in Madison county. It was found by the ground caving in on . I S J a. 1 J 1 t i nti a, uuu is auoui a nuuurea ieei aeep. ine The water is reported to be 130 degrees, tvhich is the hottest mineral water this side of the great- western geysers. This .vill prove a very valuable addition to .he already famous warm springs. The ouilding of the new hotel is progressing .inely. The recent elections in Virginia on the question of prohibiting by law the sale of spirituous liquors resulted very much as it did in this State a lew years ago. It was overwhelmingly defeated. In view of these facts any democrat who desires to injure both the demo cratic cause and the cause of temper ance, cannot more successfully do it than by joining the third party. The warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco, in Marshall, N. C.have closed for the season. Prices have generally ruled lower than last season, owing, it is thought, to the quantity on the mar ket. A correspondent of the News & Courier notes the fact that tobacco raisers in the mountainous sections are discontinuing the use of fertilizers, be lieving that it iniures the analitv of A j the weed. Also that in view of reduced prices, they will give more attention to raising home supplies. Gen Johnstone Jones and Richmond Pearson, Esq., of Buncombe county, both members of the last Legislature, have had a published controversy on the stock law passed for their county. Mr. Pearson voted against it, and has undertaken to criticise the course per sued by Mr. Jones, who voted for it. The last aspect of the dispute is serious, Mr. Pearson having challenged Gen. Jones to fight a duel. The friends of Prohibition in Char lotte, are proceeding under the Act of the General Assembly of the State, as recorded in the Code. They have had out petitions for signatures and obtained the number of signers requir ed, and have appointed a Committee to present said petitions to the County Commissioners, asking that an election may be held on the first Monday in June. This is all regular and proper. It brings the subject of Prohibition be fore voters on its merits alone, without the intermixture of politics. Improvement of the Mississippi It has long been- conceded on all hands that the Mississippi, should, if possible, be improved to the extent of waking it a safe and unfailing high way for the commerce of the States so largely dependent on it for shipping purposes. It is cheaper than railroad transportation, and if available at all times, an efficient check on railroad rates. But, the Mississippi Commis sion, which has spent millions in en deavors to improve the river, having nothing to show for it, it is a good time m make a change iij ths programme. Perhaps if Congress would select a new Commission each member of which was largely interested by investments in lands exposed to overflows men who have some practical and experi mental knowledge oi the difficulties to he met, better success would be made. The New Orleans Picayune thinks that 0 plan which fails to prevent the un dermining and caving in of the banks Can be successful. That this is the cause which is so constantly changing the current ot the stream, and produc- ng the difficulties of safe navigation. jwr Labor Question in Congress. : President Cleveland sent, in a mes sage to congress, April 22d, on the propriety of taking some action design ed to settle difficulties that may arise between capital and labor. He sug gested and recommended the aonoint- - - vu.iiiuissiuu, io waom ques tions or tins kmd might be referred. 1 ue message is a plain and manly recog nition of the importance of the subject, ana oi tus duty under the Constitution to bring it. to the attention of Con gress. After a short but spicy discussion a3 to whether the message should be re- M J L 1 1 . . iwrpixo, tne Committee on I,abor, or ine committee of the whole, the former proposition prevailed, with instructions that the committee report by bill 6r otherwise before the 15th of May next Music Festival The third Southern Musical Festival vvill be held in Petersburg, Va , at the Academy of Music, on the 11th, 12th, i.3th and 14th of May. Garl Zerrahn, ol Boston, will be Festival conductor, ana .ilso have nis renoweud orchestra nere. The grand chorus will contain 270 trained voices. There will be 12 ccle jraiea bolalsU), including beside voices, piano, organ, violin, flute and cornet. There are to beeven performances and .lie programme for these embrace the highest order of music fioycotters Arrested. Thirty boycotters were arrested in New York, Tuesday, on warrants is sued by Recorder Smith. They hirea negroes to go into the store of the boycotted firm and on the sidewalk in trout of it, bearing banners with scriptions of mottoes and this foolishness will soon run itself down or come to a violent end. Chas. L. Heitman, of Lexington, N, C, has made an assignment for the o benefit of his creditors. It is reported that his liabilities are about $35,000 and his assets about $10,000. Mr. Heitman had won the confidence of a large circle of acquaintances in counties ad joining Davidson, and his failure will astonish them all, for he was regarded as a very safe and reliable man. He has left Lexington, and it is supposed with the design of not returnin m- warnings. The Levee Broke. High waters on the Mississippi arc Ireaded and expected in a few days, fhe levee broke at Austin, Miss., on tht 27th, which will cause the flooding ol Funiea and Coahoma counties. It is predicted by a Georgia paper that this is to be another year of cy clones; and that now is a good time to make cyclone pits. The present dry and hot weather may be followed by storms, and then again it may not. No one knows anything about it. There are some three hundred people at Chi cago who confidently interpret the pre sent commotions between capitol and labor as an indication of the near ap proach of the end of the world. If 4-tio4- c Vi . ! . . 1 '1 I ii "li i-uav Bujum uuupeii mere win be no need of cyclone pits. Now, what are you going to do about it? Careful fruit growers will make a thorough examination of their apple and other fruit trees usually attacked by the canker worm more generally known as the nesting caterpillar, fi let alone they will in a few days strip 1 i At L 1 I cue iciites uu ine top Drancnes or a tree and cause them to die. And when you undertake to destry the worms make sure work of it. You may break up their nest and seatter them all around, but if you fail to kill them, they will get back on the tree, recon struct their webs, and go to work ao-ain You may blow them up with powder, dynamite or gun cotton, if you prefer cnivL-&, uut a gooa nan ay pole wrapped at the end with rough cloth, so as to avoid barking the trees, ans wers a better purpose, because you can rub the life out of the depredators and have done with it. Some burn them out with a pine torch, but there is danger of damaging the tree by that method. Pecans- Again. A week or two ago. in a brief notice of the pecan as a desirable nut tree for Cultivation, it was mentioned that L Blackmer, Esq., and Dr. J. J . Summerell, of this place, had pecan trees growing on their premises, but that they were as yet too young to bear fruit. It has been so short a time since We knew Mr. Blackmer was thinning out his - i - . .i umsery mm giving away tne 3Toung trees to his neighbors, that it did not seem possible he now had fruit bearing trees, and upon that assumption made the statement. But it was a mistake. The trees are now seven years old from the seed and have been bearing fruit for the last two years. This is all the better for the pecan and all the more encouraging for those who wish to grow them. Any young farmer, or other person owning lands, can easily make a pecan grove, and after a few years have nuts to eat or to sell according as he may choose to do. Seed nuts can be bought in any of our shops, at any time of the year. The fall season is probably the right time to put them out. The Poet Father Ryan Gone. Father A brain J.

The order was obeyed by 3,000, two re fineries having assented to the demands of the workmen. Several conflicts oc curred between the policemen and strikers, in which sticks, clubs, stones and revolvers were used. Two police men where sfeot; but what damage was done the Arifcers not gtated though it must have keen considerable' A number of strikers was arrested. A Parisian has a bed with devices provoking him to rise early. In itself a model of comfort, a chime of bells announces time to rise. If he does not heed it, a candle is lit. If still mo tionless, an invisible hand snatches ofl his night cap, a spirit lamp i lit and his breakfast coffee in process of mat ing, tilling the room wth its aroma , is supposed he now begins to rise, and is soothed with delightful sounds from a music box. Theii another peal of merry ringing bells; and last of all, a card pops up at the foot of the bed, with "get up inscribed oh it; and all this by the aid of electricity and machinery. is mentioned as a fact that the mocking birds are rapidly disappearing from the woods of the Southern States that two causes are assigned for it, to-wit: the shipping of them as caged birds to the North, and the introduc tion f the English sparrow, which is supposed to fight them away. If the main fact be admitted the causes as signed need confirmation. It is be lieved rh,: doves, robbins and birds of all kinds are diminishing in num ber, and from causes more potent than those suggested. The face of the country is changing it's forests are being cut down, its waters polluted by washingB from the cultivated lands. The causes which drive fob from the streams may also drive birds from the groves. mt ft a lhe tear of poverty, like the greed for wealth, is often a snare, leading to insanity, to murder and to suicide. buch was the outcome with the wife of John Monroe Smith, near Keyport, JN. J., a few days ago. Smith had mortgaged the farm and foreclosure was threatened. The wife brooded over it. They had six chi'dren the oldest 18, all raised on the farm. The poor woman could see no relief, and contin ually looked forward to being turn out ot house and home. It caused in sanity, and armed with an axe she un dertook to murder all her children"; for said s ;e, if driven out into the world they will go to the devil.
