The Alliance men of Caswell county,
N. C, have endeavored to obtain a less
pef cent, for the selling of their tobac
co iiTthe Danville market; but their
agents found all the warehouses in the
city firmly Jbbund together in opposi
tion to any reduction of the rates here
tofore charged, and it now remains to
be seen what the fanners will do.
They will probahly take their tobacco
to Reidsville or Durham, or establish a
warehouse of their own, which, of
course, they have the right and ability
to do.
The Charlotte Chronicle reports theffarmers, and it is altogether too coni-

of 15 years and upward. The police

his appearance at the Criminal Court.
By the testimony of one of the boys,
whp was called as a witness in the pre

thirty boys have been in the den atone
time, and Reeves was making about
ten dollars a night out of his visitors.
A New Jersey farmer had

a
thril-

Kiugsland in that State, The old
man was leading a bull., through the
streets when a dog ran out of a yard
and jumped straight at the head of the
bull.-" The bull plunged forward and
struck the farmer and tossed him up.
The farmer fell on the back of the
bull and grasped him by the horns,
and in that condition, with the dog
swinging to the tail of .the bull, rah
through several streets, through a shed
with a very narrow entrance, into a
yard and thence down into a river
under abridge, where farmer Norton
fell off or was kuocked off, very much
bruised and his flesh lareerated.. No
thing could stop the bull, which cross
ed the river, and was finally shot to4
end its mad career.

Sheep Husbandry.
The act of the Legislature which,:
provides that a man whose sheep a're
killed by dogs majf recover the value of
his loss by warrant before a magistrate,
is n feeble effort to encourage sheep
husbandry. Suppose the owner of the
dog has nothing, theii what? And
much tne larger part or th dogs are
owned by people in this condition.
Experiment Station.
Under date of ilarch Oth, Mr. H
B. Battle, Director, . writes thus:
"While it may bejtoo late now to com
post for the present crops, vet it is
never too late to
begin to save and
utilize for the uext crop the materials
at home, now possibly going to waste."
This is " a valuable suggestion to
mon a practice to put off preparations
forthe crop which; must succeed the
one on which they are now employed.
: The Governor's Mansion.
The . Legislature did a good deal of
talking
about the Governor's Man
sion but filially left it where they
found it. The Senate passed a bill to
sell it, but the House laid the bill on
the table. They could not either vote
aii appropriation to finish the House or
to pass a bill for its sale. The people
of the State has at least one consola
tion: it is not their job: they have not
paid a cent on it, and the late Legisla
ture could not agree to put it on them
in any shape or form.
Loss of Cotton in Charlotte.
A fire broke out
among
the 1,700
bales of cotton on the large platform
iu Charlotte, Monday, and although it
seems to have been discovered quite
early after it started, yet, says the
Daily Xetcs, four hundred bales were
destroyed before the fire could
be arrrested. The loss is di
vided among several owners, all of
whom were insured The Xews repre
sents the scene as a very exciting one
while it lasted. Several fire compa
nies with their engines were quickly
on hand and flooded the place with
water.
Big- Bobbery in Charlotte.
There was a burglary and heavy lift
of valuables made in Charlotte on
Thursday night of hist week. Mr.
Farrior's jewelry store was entered
through the sky-light, and property to
the value of $4,500 carried off and,
from the silence of the Daily News on
this point, the bloodhounds did not
take the track.. The rascals got away
with the plunder and left the people of
the town in utter amazement. The
News' account of the incident leaves
no room to doubt that the town was
visited by veterans in the art. There
were two of them, and they were thor
oughly equipped for the job. 3r.
Farrior had locked up all Iris valuable
watches and other jewelry in a itrnng
safe and that one he locked up iu a
larger and stronger one. The thieVes
broke into both and cleaned them out.
Eighty tine, gold watches, a tray of
diamond ear rings and finger rings,
and 35 or 40 solid and plated watch
chains, in all worth th above sum.
Mr. Farrior js a young merchant, and
the loss is to him a serious one.
Who'd a-Thunk it
Mr. J. P. McAnaly is discussing
education and statistics in the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Mail, and brings out
some facts which will be very distaste
ful to a portion of the country at least.
He sets forth that the five New Enr
land States haye only one illiterate- in
every natives, while the six
southern State Marvlandll Deln warp.
Georgia, Virginia aiid the two t Caro-
linas have one illiterate in evprv 112
natives. Now for the moral effect of
this difference, which, according to
wise teachers, ought to be largely in
favor of the highly educated St:..
but the very opposite is the truth. In
New England there is one criminal in
every 1 ,084 natives. In the five south
ern States named, but one in every
6,670. In New England there is one
pauper to every 178. In the five
southern Statest one to, every 345. In
New England, one suicide, to every
13,285. ' In the five southern States,
one to every ; 50,584. Deaths from
venereal diseasee, oue to every 84,737,
against 128,729 in the southern States!
Mr. McAnaly lays the. bfyme of this
difference on the public, schools, which
omit to teach religion as part of a
child's education .
Let the S3auih be admonished by this
array of startling facts and rigidly re
quire the moral and religious' training
of her children in the schools; for
"what shall it profit a man if he gain
the whole world of knowledge and
lose his soul." -
Washington Letter -
(From our regular correspondent.)
5 , Washington, March 11th, 1889.
Harrison will be a dead man in less
than" three months' if the- horde of
greedy office seekers do not cease per
secutiag hiiu. Already his riglit arm
is lained and his complexion ' has the
suspicious chalky white appearance of
ill health. Jiut the crowd still comes
marching on, fairly falling over each
other in their eagerness to reach the
ear of the President. Suchr a gang
was never befcr; seen in Washington.
It -was thOjiight at the beginning of
Mr. Cleveland's admini Oration that
tin? rssuft for ffice was great, but
compared jwi;h that now going on, it
was its a spmmer zephyr to an untam-
ed Dakota blizzard. hvery man ex
t:ept iuose, mat nave cuea, that ever
held oflace under a republican admin
stration is here clamoring for vindi
cation in the shape of an appointment
to ins oui ipiace or to a better one, and
in addition there, are thousands of men
who are after getting their first taste
of official life. These last think the
Government service needs a liberal in
fusion of new blood, provided, of
course, that they furnish it. Between
them they are- making a torment for
Mr. Harrison as great as any that ever
existed onj this earth, and there is little
chance of a change until 'everything
worth scrambling for is given out. In
the meantime Mr. Harrison's worst
enemy cdnld not wish him worst
pnnishmejit than he is daily undergo-
inyr.
benatorl Hampton thinks that ex
Governor friiothpson will be nominnted
as the democratic member of the Civil
Service Commission. He was nomina
ted by Mr1. Cleveland, and would have
been confirmed and bis name been
sent against any more political confir
mations. Ex-Secretary Whitney has sold his
Washington residence to Postmaster
General Wanamaker fof $80,000. "Mr.
Whitney will take a two months trip
to Europe before settling down to work
in New York. The rest of Mr. Cleve
land's cabinet except Ms. Endicott, are
still herej Mr. Dickinson went to New"
York with Mr. Cleveland's party last
week, bufche has returned.
There's a big row in the republican
camp already. It is a question of ver
acity between Harrison and Ex-Governor
Alger. Alger told the Michi
gan delegation that Harrison had ex
pressed great regret on account of hav
ing to leave him (Alger) out of the
cabinet, and that as a slight compen
sation the President had told him that
he might name a man for Solicitor
General. He named H. M. Duffield,
who he asked the delegation to en
dorse, atjthe same time sissuring them
that it was only a formality; that the
appointment would be coiisiderd per
sonal, and would not be charged to the
State, j The delegation endorsed the
application and carried it immediately
to Mr. Harrison The delegation was
struck dhmb when the President told
them he! knew nothing about the mat
ter, and that they had filed the applica
tion with' the Attorney General.
What transpired when the delegation
got back to Alger is not yet known. -
Representatives Townsend, of Illi
nois, died, suddenly on Saturday. He
caught a severe cold last week, and on
Tuesday it had developed into pneu
monia. He was one of the most pop
ular men in the House.
Mr. Harrison's cabinet, with the ex
ception of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Windom,
is regarded as very, weak. It is Blaine
all over.' All the members are intpnsp
Blaineites except two Miller and
Wanamaker, and these two can hardly
be said to count, Mr. Miller being ap
pointed; Solely because he was Harri-
son s law partner and nersonal friend.
and Mrj Wanamaker because he held
Mr. Quay's order for the Postmaster
Generalship, .for which he paid $100,-
000 in cold cash.
A gentleman savs he asked Mr. Har
rison if he intended to call an- extra
session 6f the Fiftieth Congress, and
that the President replied: "No in
deed. I want to cet these fellows
away, not to give them an excuse for
remaining.
Queer lot, the republicans. The
man who helped Mr. Quay in all his
underground work J. S. Clarkson
is not good enaugh to get an appoint
ment in the cabinet, and he was turned
down, notwithstanding the able back
ing he received from such men as Sen
ators Allison and Quay.
The extra session of the Senate nas
done nothing except confirm the cabi
net omcers, but n number of nomina
tions are expected this week. It has
been about settled that no other busi
ness will be touched. This is some
what disappointing to the bloody-shirt-ters,
who wanted t to pass the Hoar
Southern election investigation resolu
t'on. It will be a long time before any ad
ministration attains the social success
of the last one. Mrs. Cleveland as the
idol is not likely to have a successor
for many years to come.
Great Scott. Let Them go if They
Want to.
The negro exodus, fever instead of
abating as some papers have intimated
seems to be raging higher every day.
Scores of negroes are emigrating every
day. Nearly one thousand left over

go to our trade at $1.00. This plays havoc
with our neighbors who are selling Hats
but we cannotJiclp it, consumers must be
protected, and if the mcchant docs not do
it, who will? Wc.nnderstand the interest
of the merchant behind his counter to be
identified and joint with the customer in

make it so has missed his calling, f he

cut upon the public for patronage. How
can we get that? We say by giving them
the best possible values forthe least money,
that it pays to sell goods cheap, it fills our
house with buyers, builds up the volume of
our business, makes us hundred and thou
sands of little profits, beating your few big
ones an hundred fold. The irrcater the
volume of our business, the smaller, the
profits we ran afford to take. Wc sold the

During 33 months wc have cut the price on
