The Late Flood.
r hp mnnrts from A uirusta. Geonria.
, W ' -r- O T 7
in respect to the late flood by the rains
of July 30th and 31st, are of a most
lisastrous character. The waters rose
n .some places six feet higher than ever
before known. Three-fourths of the
city of Augusta was under water from
one to six feet deep, and Hamburg,
just across the river, was entirely cov
ered. The greatest damage was to
streets and sewers; but property of air
kiuds wsis damaged. The farmers on
the bottoms between Augusta and
Savannah have suffered a total loss of
the corn crop, estimated at $1,500,000.
Alt the mills in Augusta- were coni
nelled to stoD work, and the loss to
other interests Tfery heavy. The main
business portion of the city was not
damaged.
Similar reports of flooding come from
less important parts of the ft t ate.
Close Trading.
The foreign trade for the year end
ing June 30, 188 ., is presented as fol
lows :
Exports of merchandise, $716,704,
984; Imports of merchandise, $602,-
z-wjoi. showing a balance in our
favor of $24,445,238.

The Daily Hornet
Is. the name of new and uprightly pa

pany of practical printers. The first
JSo. is well tilled with local advertise
ments, which shows the enterprise is
favored by the business public. Success
to it. X
Learned doctors of New York city
have, been telling the public how to
keep, cool and preserve health during
thpTiot days of the present season.
But like doctors in other parts of the
country they differ widely, one recom
mending cool drinks liberally indulged,
and another advising against loading
the stomach with such liquids. One
advising dark woolen- clothing, and
another light colored woolen clothiug.
&c. Thus, when doctors differ the peo
ple are left free to follow the dictates of
their own personal experience and com
mon sense. By this rule they will
cease to practice what they find to be
injurious to themselves either in dress,
food or drink; and will indulge those
things and methods which contribute
to personal comfort and health. Per
sons not capable of discerning for
themselves in .respect to such matters,
especially children, should be closely
observed by those who have the care of
them, and dealt with as circumstances
may suggest. No doctor is wise enough
to lay down rules of health to fit every
case in a community, except in very
general particulars. He may safely
say keep out of the fire or you will be
burned; don't eat or drink too much or
you will be sick; keep clean or you will
stink and may be contract disease, and
such like, all of which is well known
to observing people. People who fail
to observe simple laws relating to their
own health and comfort may expect to
pay the penalty.
The manufacturing classes north are
represented bv the N. Y. Star as be
coming proud, reckless and defiant in
respect to the labor organizations which
have-sometimes caused them much anx
iety by their exautioiiK. Capital is very
apt to display itself in these moods
when it may do so with safety. The
manufacturers have, we think," organ
ized for mutual protection ;ahd doubtless
see, or think they see, security against
labor combinations by methods beyond
control of such hinderances as may be
offered them. But the Star notes a rath
er ridiculous measure adopted by a
"Southern factory," in this relation,
which goes far to discredit the more
important points of its comments on
this general subject. It says a mana
ger in a "Southern factory" has carried
his insolence to the pftch of declaring
that none of the girls shall wear a bus
tle in the factory nor hang them up
in the ante-room with their bonnets.
This, the Star thinks, is carrying the
war to parts hitherto regard as beyond
the invasion of any power known.
The recent grape show at Raleigh
was a success, notwithstanding all the
exhibitors failed to get in as they in-
- i n i i
tended, rremiuins were awarded as
follows : S. Otho Wilson, for largest
number of pounds, $20; tol. J. M
Heck, for largest variety , $5tK); for the
best display, Cant. P, B. Williamson,
?20; smaller premiums were awarded
a number of other exhibitors, mostly
on single varieties and small lots. C.
W. Garrett & Co., made a magnificent
display of wines manufactured from
native grapes and were awarded the
premium. Col. frrecin, of the great
Tokay Vineyard, near Fayette ville, also
made a brilliant display of winesf-and
N. W. Craft & -Co.. are said to have
made a display ol the finest, clearest
and most palatable 'wines. Craft be
longs to t his section, and his exhibits
were highly commended.

The internal revenue collected for j
the Ideal year, ending June 30, 1387,
aggregated $118,833,757, or SI, 932,-
883 more than was collected for the
previous fiscal year. The cost of col-lof
lection, $4,07o,WiU, or aboul 3f per

Kentucky and Missouri supplied 51

- The internal revenue system is a war
measure kept in force against reason
and right.
The internal revenue plank of the
Virginia democrats at Roanoke was
positive enough, certainly. It reads as
follows t. uWe demand the immediate
repeal of the internal revenue system,
a relic of the war, and no longer neces
sary to meet i;he demands of the gov
ernment, because it is oppressive, fos
ters monopolies, and is obnoxious to
the interests of our people.
The State still holds its position in
respect to taxing drummers. A drum
mer was arrested in .Men ton, a few
days ago for selling without license,
who refused to give bail and applied to
Judge Bond, of Baltimore, for a- writ
of habeas corpus. The case will come
up before the Judge this week. The
decision will be looked for with interest,
but not as a final decision on the
legality of our State law. This ques
tion will come up again in the L . ft
Supreme Court at Washington, when
it is not improbable that the recent de
cision in the Tennessee case may be re
versed.
Co-operative or assessment insurance
companies of many sorts and sizes have
been the rage for a few years past.
People have invested in them, and may
not suffer seriously by it. Others have
had rather bitter experiences, finding
they were leaning on a broken reed.
They are all got up and managed by
men who expect and do make monev
by them. They are all, to a certain ex
tent, gambling concerns. The mem
bers expect to get much for a little
and the officers are sure of a good easy
living on salaries while the thing lasts
besides securing a life estate.
The Executive Committee of the
State Board of Agriculture met in
Raleigh on the 5th, to consider the
resignation of Dr. Dabney, director of

Something real new happened at
Jimdneld, . L.,recently : a fool of a
white man seeing a cat in a store
offered to chew off her tail for $1.75
and actually performed the feat (with
a negro to hold the cat in a bag) in the
course of hve minutes. John Bellamv
is the man s name, 25 years old, mar
ried, the son of a Baptist minister; and
now John has to appear in Court for
this new and remarkable crime.
There is said to be a considerable
amount of counterfeit coin in circula
tion in Mecklenburg, mostly among
the farmers. The parties engaged in
the passage of counterfeit money do
not usually coufiue their operations to
a single county, but range around in
all directions. They may visit Rowan,
so let her citizens be on their guard in
respect to coin offered them by stran
gers. Wonders will never cease while we
have newspapers eager for news. The
last wonder is a trumpet by which
conversation (on water) may be con
ducted at a distance of four miles.
We read of a similar invention years
ago. A cow could be heard cropping
grass at the distance of something
less than a mile; but no such instru
ment has come this way as yet.
A North Carolina invention is an
nounced by the News-Observer with
high praise under the name of "Com

says : "It serves admirably for a writ

ment whichis the acme of convenience
aud comfort."

A Letter on the Subject Erom Representative
M'Millan of Tennissee.
- From the St.- Louis Republican.
Four of t be Democratic members of the
ways and means committee in t h j Forty
ninth congress, Representatives Mills of
Texas, M'Millin of Tennessee and Breckcn
ride of Arkansas and Breckeni idge of
Kentucky were re-elected to the Fiftieth
congress and will almost certainly be mem
bers of the committee again. Each of these
gentlemen was ask id tor an expression of
his views, and most interesting replies were
received from all except Mr. Mills, who for
some unexplained reason has not yet re
spomled. The letter of Mr. M'Millin will
be found below.
Carthage, Tenn., June 10. C. V, Knnpp,
Esq., Washington D. ('. Dear Sir: Your
favor oi the 11th inst., asking my opinion
as to the possibility ot legislation to reduce
taxation this winter, is received. I know
mere snouiu oe a practical oasis ot com
promise through which the Democrats of
the house can unite, and believe there wi
be. An equal or nearly equal cut of internal
auu tarin taxes would attor l such basis.
I would select for the repeal of the internal
i I t A. . 1 A TTfc . .
taxes me tooacco tax. rossiDiv some orncr
internal tax, yielding but little revenue and
entailing much cost and oppression, mi-lit
be added. I should favor repealing rather
than merely reducing such internal taxes as
are touched, to get rid ot the oppression of
lL I J II I , ... .
me taw as wen as ine surplus revenue. 1 he
balance of the total re In. tion of the tariff
on necessaries of life or articles in general
use by the people. Already more than
threedburths of the internal taxes imposed
for war purposes Have lieen repeated, and
yet the tariff remains with all Us incongru
ities "and oppressions. The income tax on
tobacco was reduced to one-third its origi
nal rate, and yet.the same high tariff on
sugar, salt and clothing is with us.
Vol ask 4'if there are concessions of any
other kind the majority of the party can
make without sacrifice of principle?" In
the practical adjustment of differences there
are many little concessions which may be
proper on both sides. But the Democratic
party w ould not be excusable for sacrificing
the $125,000,000 surplus revenue all want
to keep out of the treasury and in the
pockets of the people without cheapening
the essentials of life by making proper and
reasonable reductions Sf war-tariff taxes.
In response to your inquiry "Would a
caucus further the accomplishment of the
desired end?" I will say that I think a full
conference of the party resolving what it
will pursue would strengthen it.
If President Cleveland would convene
congress and send iu a message setting forth
the fast that every bond callable prior to
1891 is paid; that $125,000,000 is annually
and uselessly drawn from the people; that
more than 6 per cent, of the entire circula
tion will be wrung from tax-pajers each
year and locked up until lb91, or tquan
dered: that to take from the people their
money when the government does not need
it, is robbery under the forms of law, and
that to hoard it in the treasury when not
needed, and thereby produce bankruptcy,
is a politcul crime of which he will not be
guilty; and will then put all the force of
his administration back of a measure re
commended by him for reduction of taxes,
resolving to give the people relief and nev
er to yield short of their just demand for
relief, he will force the relief, and the meas
ure will succeed.
The groans and grumbling of the people
ontliissuiiject have been heard long enouidv,
and must be heeded now. The last pretext
for fleecing thenr has passed and it should
stop. Relief will come im some form. Wis-
