It is reported that there is a smoking mountain within three miles of Cooper's station on the W. N. C. It. R. The population of Switzerland is a little less than 3,000,000 made up of Germans, French and Italians. The election in Montana is close. Democrats have been claiming the Leg islating, but it now seems doubtful. The Rev. Edward Mack, the son of Rev. J. B. Mack, has recived a call from the Presbyterian church in Wash ington, N. C. The largest and best tobacco crop ver harvested in the mountain section of the State, is said to be safely stored in the barns of the farmers. Diptheria in its worst form is pre vailing at Gallitzer, Pa. Fifty cases down with the disease and several families have lost-all their children. A locket was recovered from the plunder of the burglars now before the Mayor's court in Charlotte, marked " F. B. C." which had been lost for 30 years. Representative Brecken ridge, of Ar kansas, says that as far as the demo crats shall need a leader on the floor of the House ex-speaker Carlisle will assume that function. A father and son at San Antoni, Texas, D. Mencia and son Aiphonso, had a desperate fight last.. Friday in which the father was killed and the son mortally wounded. Rev.

Dothan, Ala., Oct. 15. Trouble "between the town council and dray men of the Farmers1 Warehouse, who refused to pay a town license tax. Seven men were shot, two killed and one other dying. The Supreme Court of the United States met in Washington on Monday. It was a formal opening of the court. The regular business taken up on Tuesday, with 1,375 cases on the dock et rather more than usual. Senators Spooner and Mnnderson it is said have " reid the riot act " to President Harrison because he removed Tanner before having fully arranged matters as to who should succed him as Commissioner of Pensions. The Knights of Labor are trying to get the Superintendent of the Census to instruct his agents to obtain the necessary date for the preparation of a table showing what percentage of the homesteads are free of mortgage. Nearly all the ; Knights Templars have gone home. They held undispu ted possesion of Washington all last week, and devoted every hour to hav ing a good time. The conclave was great success and the largest ever held. Hon. Samuel J. Randall, who has been reported as being very ill at his Pennsylvania!! home, has arrived at his Washington House. His health, while not good, is such that he can take an active part m the coming ses sion of Congress. The sufferers by the Johnstown, Pa., disaster are complaining that the fund wised for their relief luis not been properly disbursed or distributed. Gross mismanagement of the fund is charged a state of things that might well have been expected. . Blaiue hais heard from his friends in the South, and now announces that the members of the Three America's Congress will visit the principal cities of that section early in the new year. Mr. Blaine says that such has been the intention of the State department all the time, but some other people, prob ably on account of prejudice, say that the vigorous kicking of Southern mem bers of Congress is what paved the way for this tardily announced trip through the South. - - - ...

" "TTT The trial of Edward Brown for the killing of Col. Roger J. Page at Marion, N. CM on the .night of July 24th, was commenced in the Superior Court 'it Marion on the 11th instant. kOwing to the failure of a witness to appear, the case was laid over until Monday. Lyman Klapp, the in venter of the process of extracting the oil from cotton seed, died at his home, a few days ago, in Providence, Rhode Island. His success ful efforts on this subject date back about thirty years, since which time the cotton seed oil business has grown to its present importance. There was an exodus of white people from Johnston county who passed on their way to Arkansas, a few daj's ago. A reporter of the Greensboro Workman interviewed them on the way between Raleigh and Greensboro, and puts them down as a shiftless lot. A Delaware farmer predicts the en tire failure of the peach crop in that State within the next decade. He bases his prediction on the fact that the crop has been steadily declining for several years past in consequence of a disease the yellows destroying the trees. The shipments this year will be less than one million baskets against thirty and forty millions previous years. in The Inter-State Commerce Commis sion sitting at Washington, rendered a decision on Monday to the following effect, to wit: While distance is not always a con trolling clement in determining what is a reasonable rate, there is ordinarily no better measure of railroad service in carrying goods than the distance they arecarried, and when the rate of freight charges over one line in sending freight carried from a neighboring territory to the same market,"is considerably greater than over other lines for distances as long or longer, such greater rate is held to be excessive, and should be re duced. The General Council of the Ev. Lutheran church of North America is in sessiou at Pittsburg, Pa. On Fri day the special order was a discussion of the report of the committee on "Pulpit and fellowship," The ques tion was as to thepropriety of a Lutheran minister accepting an invita tion to preach in the pulpits of other denominations. The discussion occu pied almost the entire morning session, and the feeling seemed to be that a Lutheran minister could hardly with consistency occupy another pulpit, when his views differed from those of the inviting pastor. . The State Fair was duly opened on Monday according to programme. The ceremonies were interrupted to some extent by rain. It is admitted that the exhibit is more elaborate and of a better class th jut ever hpfnri At 12:30 the Chief Marshal, the Gov- ornor, and all the officers of the Fair, were on the grounds and the opening took place, the Governor making the opening speech. A large number of distinguished citizens of this and other Stated were present, and the grounds were gay with flags and the scene en livened with music. The exhibit is the largest since the State Exposition. The attendance of persons from a dis tance is declared to be a feature of im portance, and altogether the Fair is pronounced a grand success. One of tha interesting incidents was the mar riage of Mr. Wm. Bateman to Miss Knowles, dressed in cotton bagging of home production. Chicago lawyers certainly have a hard time in fairly getting hold of the Croniu case. It was u longtime be fore the police could find a clew lead ingto the discovery of the murderers of Cronin. A longer time was spent in getting aU the links of evidence in oroer. weeks were spent in mak ins up a jury, if it was ever done. Mean time some fellow slips in and steals all the papers in the case the murdered man's blood-stained clothes, everything relating to the case. And last of all, they have just discovered that the jur ors selected have been tampered with by bribes, and now they are after the bribers. How and when they will hmsh up the mam case the bribery remains to be seen. Tbe nave a very long and tedious way or getting on with criminal cases in the big cities.

Damage to the amount of $1,500 or $2,000 was done to -the merchandise on the counters, It is said to be the first case of the kind 4i record, and it was cansed by some de rangement of the electric connections not yet fully understood. They also tell us of the arrest of a large number of burglars about 14 men and women and the recovery of stolen goods comprising a most varied assortment from a hair pin up to trunks, jewelery, blankets, &c. &c, so that the magistrates office containing the goods looked like a variety store. Tramps are on the pad for a warm er climate in which to spend the win ter. Almost ev.'y day they are calling, at. houses in this town for something to eat, and they do actually find a living in this way which costs them nothing; for there are many persons among us who think the gitfs bestow ed on. them is a real charity. But it is in fact only fostering a growing nuisance. The number thus supported is constantly increasing. It is a worth less class nay, it is worse than worth less it is absolute nuisance; and every proper means should be employed to abate it. There is no reason why the industrious, provident people who bear their share of Government support, snouia aiso iax memseives tor a class who wilhot work. The little word i u i ii i i i no, is the best remedy we know for the II 1 ' 11 11 1 l evn, anu ir au wouui employ it when a tramp comes he would be obliged to'. worK Ior n,s "ng as m is nis auty to chap discovered and! Some wise old proclaimed centuries ago that "a fool and his money is soon parted," and it is not known that his discovery ever benefitted a single man. The same announcement has been made ten thousand times since, and still the man who has heeded it is unknown to the world. But effects never cease to fol low cause, and unchecked tendencies never fail to reach a natural crisis. Those who are wise enough to take ad vantage of the situation to promote their own fortune do little -more than the experienced fisherman who goes to his work duly equipped. He comes home with game, while the thoughtless ones return with "'fisher man's luck." It has always been so, and in the present condition of man kind,, there is no evidence of a probable change, and therefore no hope of hu man redemption from folly. "A fool and his money is soon parted " may still be repeated as a warning; but as the race of fools is not likely to be come extinct, the parting will still go on ad infinitum. Fairs. We suppose it is impossible to de termine with any degree of accuracy the value or Fairs as compared with their cost. We do not know that, any one has ever attempted to figure it out. We do not know however, that they are very costly, and that this side of the problem is comparatively within the reach of inquiry. The number of persons travelling to them on each railroad leading to the place of exhibit would afford a clew to the amodnt paid to railroads. An approximate es timate might be obtained by careful investigation of the number who visit the town on such occasions in private conveyances, and the cost of the time of pei sons and teams so employed. The number who purchase tickets at the gate, and the time they spend in sight-seeing. The cost of transporting and supporting subjects of exhibition. The cost of living of those who attend the Fairs while so engaged; and the incidental losses by accidents to prop erty and health. Superadd to such an estimate the loss of income from usual employments when at home following usual business: and the aggregation in rtgures will amount to a sum. . . . startling This side of the problem as we have said, is comparatively within the reach of inquiry. The other side must neces sarily be guessed at, for it is not ap parent how many and in whatr way the persons who attend Fairs is benefitted thereby. The premiums distributed do not usually exceed in 'amount the expenses of the exhibitors to bring their products to the ground. The beuefits conferred on the masses are reckoned to be, mainly, the new ideas gained by the attendants, and by them afterwards wrought out at their, homes, nil 1 lie f'nrme m in fk,,;..

Robert Berrier wns taken from the jail in Lexington, about 7$ o'clock Monday night last by a mob of more than one hundred white men, and car ried beyond the town limits, and; hung up to the limb of a tree. H,is offense was of ft very aggravating and brutal character: He lived so unhappily with his wife that she left him some weeks ago and wejt home to her mother, Mis. Herbert Walser. Here, it seems, she went crazy, and her father carried rher to the asvluin at Morsranton. While absent from home, Berrier took occasion to visit the paternal residence and demand of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Walser, his four months old child, which the kind old lady was taking care of. She refused to give it up to him, but he snatched it from her, and when she followed him to recover it, he turned upon her with a pistol and shot her. He fled, but was -arrested at Greensboro, Sunday, and brought to the Lexington jail. The public at Lexington, and at Thoniasville, still under the excitement caused by a shocking crime perpetrated so near them, gathered by hundreds as the pris oner was conducted to jail; and the matter speedily terminated as related above. And now. what will be done about it! Will the lynchers be arrested, tried, convicted, and executed under tne laws? We suppose not. And vet something should be done to restore the confidence of the people in the r 1 efficacy of the lavs as a means for the speedv dealiiig with criminals, and as a protection to the innocent. The i laws should be amended, and the i speedy trial of Criminals provided for , , ceedings such as those referred to; , otherwise the evil spirit of mobs will continue to increase until anarchy takes the place of law. Later. The Charlotte Chronicle of yesterday morning publishes a later J account of the above affair, from which it seenifi that although Berrier visited the house of Mrs. Walser during the absence of her husbaud, both his wife and mother-in-law were there, and had the door barricaded to keep him out. I He broke down the door and made a forcible entry, and fired four shot into Mrs. Walser and then snatched the infant from her arms and fled. Restless People. It is a fact, we believe, that the American people are the most restless of ail nations of the earth. They seem constitutionally bound to travel, and in our extensive domains they have large room for roving. Tell a boy that " a rolling stone.gathers no moss," and he will answer, 'a setting hen becomes poor." But old and young alike have a natural disposition to go I somewhere, and go they will. There is no class of business men in the country who have done more than railroad companies to take advantage of this disposition to travel and make money by it. Indeed, there is no class which has done more to excite the passion for roving from pure motives of avarice. j Cities and towns have readily cotue to i their aid bv getting up fairs, celebra- ting noted days, re-unions, great gatherings for one purpose or another, which cost money without a substan tial return except to those who get up the show the display the excitement. The railroads become very gracious on such occasions and give half rates. The big spree takes place in due time, and those who have their dishes right side up, catch the cash that is rained down by the people who travel who must go somewhere for a diversion, and who return home to feel the lack of money thus spent lighter in the pocket,and perhaps not a bit wiser. Hist( rj of the Supreme Court. We are indebted to the author, Hon. Kemp P. Battle, for a copy of a pam phlet giving a history of the Supreme Court in North Carolina from the earliest times down to. the present." It contains many curious and interesting facts, especially when government in North Carolina was passing through the formation period when our an cestors in the endeavor to establish justice and liberty could not clearly discern the way to escape from the tyranny with which their ideas of government were associated. It is a very interesting book, especially to those who desire information of the kind therein presented. - " The North State Artisan," is the title of a new magazine by H. E.

Washixgtox, Oct. 14, 1889. Senator Ransom of North Carolina is keeping np the reputation he has had for many yea-re-of "keeping "solid" with the administration. He believes that it pays to be consulted about the Federal 'officials to be appointed in his State, even if they have to be taken from the ranks of the opposition. If he cannot nanie the men, he can at least prevent an unusually bad man's being appointed. It was just after a visit of Senator Ransom's that Mr. Harrison appointed Charles A. Cook to be U. S. Attorney for the Eastern dis trict of N. Carolina. - - The fall term of the United States Supreme Court was crowded to-day. The only vacant chair was that of the late Justice Mathews. Immediate ly after the Court met it adjourned to pay the usual visit to the President. It was generally supposed that the va cancy on the bench would have been filled before the term began, but Presi dent Harrison seems to lack the nerve to appoint Attorney General Miller in the face of the opposition to him among the leaders of his party, ami so far the opposition cannot agree on a man for tho place. The Washington dudes, who dote on everything English, are just now enjoying all the delights of the Orien tal's seventh heaven. Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British minister, has arrived at the legation building in this city accompanied by six single daugh ters, all old enough to be married. There will be a great scramble among these dudes to get themselves present ed the to English lasses. Chief Justice Fuller has great diffi culty in getting a house arranged to suit hirn.
