June 21 To sing the praises of Connelly's Springs is but to reaclt the universal sentiment of all who have ever ccme hither for health, rest, or pleasure. For a wise purpose did the great hand of Nature pile these mountains one on the other, and leave nestling among them this wooded glen from which forever gushes a stream of crystal water with healing in every bubble. Every -day -life, at best, is but a tedious and tiresome routine, and both body and mind thecoma eare-worn and weary after manv days mestic activity. We are, after nil, but the component parts that run the mighty machinery of human thought and action, and it becomes necessary, now and then, to "close for repairs." For such as need those repairs did Nature's great builder construct this grand sanitarium, this beautiful auditorium in the shadow of the mountains, this poem of terrestrial grandeur and picturesque loveliness. Here may we come for rest and recrea tion, and have the functions of physical and mental activity rejuvenated. Here we behold enchanting scenery, swift, salubrious mountain breezes and. drink healing waters. Here, too, may we pause and learn a lesson from nature's grand and glorious li indiwork. Near ly twenty years ago Connelly's Spring was discovered. Mrs. Connelly, an aged w:.th their assistants, do everything possible for the comfort of guests. The new owners will only admit a limird number of guests as the hotel facilities are vet awhile limited, and they don t want any discoin fort lire on the p irt of the guests becauge of an overcrowded house. Hy next season they will be in position to accommo date all who may wish to come. A growd of most excellent people are al ready here; sevaral of who.n have en gaged room until October. States ville, Charlotto, Salisbury, Wilson, Baltimore and Macon,'Gn., and several other points are represented, and every train brings more. The present ac commodations are home-like, comfort able and pleasant. The hotel was con structed "ith a view to Trie comfort o its guests, especially people who are feeble or infirm. The rooms are all large and any, well furnished with how wonderfully well I have been, as regards kidney complaint. There is no doubt that my visit and the water you sent me from Connelly's Springs is the cause of it. The water was good, al though it may have lost its freshness, yet its quality was the same. I must again thank you, very many times, for sending it, you must not expect our stay with you to last long, as I s-hould like Mrs. Hubbard as well as myself to have all the tune possible at Connelly s Snriutrs. as I believe a week or so there would do her more good than all the doctor.-- in Lon don.'' Thus the fame of these springs goes abroad and two hemispheres are join ing in a chorus of praise. Mr. Hub bard will come again this summer all the way from his home in London. v The springs are most favorably sit uated. The VV. N. C. Railroad runs within a few feet of the hotel.

REPRESENTATIVE EWART REGARDS IT AS A BAD MISTAKE POLITICALLY. Washlnjrton Tost.

In rejecting Eaves the Senate lias rejected one of the best collectors lady, the owner of the property, noticed a boiling, bubbling stream, coining up intervening landscapes decked in robes A i T ft n s i ii i i i . - from a bed of fern and bramble. She tasted and retasted, and felt the quick ening touch of its health-restoring Lproperties. Neighboring invalids be gan drinking, and they, too, realized that it would do what physicians and physic had failed to do. Its reputation began reaching out and people came from a distance to camp in its vicinity, and to test its efficacy. They visited and revisited, brought their friends, brought others, until the. fame of the springs went, abroad, and outgrew the management of their original owner.

T C H c L U 13 THE FIRST HOTEL. In 488 the ppiigs- having been purchased by Messers 1. I'. ; n I T. J. Meroney, two active and enter prising business men of Salisbury, who began the erection of the commodious Connelly's Springs Hotel, with the capacity for the comfortable accom modation of 100 guests. Before the hotel was half completed people began rapping for admittance, and during every summer since 1880 it has been taxed to its utmost capacity to accom modate its patrons. The waters t e ms have every year I renewed their effort i for the relief of . . . ..... the invalid, tor tinting the pallid cheek of the weary matron.

Under the excellent management of Messers Meroney. aided by tluir era- cieut assistants. Maj. thas. 1. Jones, formerly of Virginia, and Mr. VV. P. lli.liburton, of Salisbury, the hotel as well as the spring has become famous. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. This ever popular place has even outgrown the excellent management of the Meroney s, and a week ago pass ed into the hands of probably the strongest syndicate, in point of money and influence that has yet been organ ized on any health resort in the South. The syndicate is composed of promi nent capitalists and business men or K ileigh, Salisbury and Asheville, who combined to buy the- property because t!iey had a personal knowledge of the wonderful ettieacy ot these mineral waters. Such men as It. J. Holmes, T. C. Linn. Y m. Smithdeal, Hon. Kerr Craige, Hon. L?e S. Overman, C apt. VV. C. Coughenour, Win. G. Hlackmer, of Salisbury, Col. A. 13. Andrews, of lMeigh, Capt. V. E.

Wiley, '.apt. ,V u McCan less, off Sal isbury. -It. would be dimcult to organize a stronger syndicate niiorth Carolina in point of wealth and enterprise, and in such hands Connelly s springs will undoubtedly step to the front of south ern health and pleasure resorts. NEW IMPROVEMENTS. It is the purpose of the new syndi cate as soon as practicable to begin making all necessary improvements. The present hotel building will be en larged and every modern convenience adopted. The table (always good) will be more bountifully supplied with everv desirable substantial and delicacy that can be obtained from any adjacent or tnbutrv market. lhe surrounding is one of the most productive sections in the State, and furnishes the most wholesonif. gar ten, field and dairy pro 1 i X : I I 1 11. uucr.s. ao expense win oe spareu lo m ike the culinary department all that the most f.istidious could ask for.

Hundreds bear this testimony. "I am lavish, am I, in praises?" Then let some others speak. Dr. John White head, an eminent physician of Salisbury, says: . . .... . i j 'These waters possess to a raarKeu oc tree, both alterative and tonic proper ties. Ill every case of disease wherein we have used it to obtain these effects, the result has proven more beneficial than would ordinarily have been ex pected from any mineral water of its kind that we know of. For all cases broken down by chronic malaria it ap pears to be a perfect specific." In this opinion Dr. H. T. Trantham, another eminent Salisbury physician, fully concur?. Dr. L. M. Archey, of Concord, says: "I have no hesitation in saying that the water is as good as any in the State." Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz, of Salisbury, says: "Having in my own person experienced the wonderful recuperative powers ot the water, there is. in my opinion, no mineral waters in the State at all com parable to those of Connelly." Rev. F. L. Beid, of Raleigh, says: "The water and climate acted like a ch irm upon me. 1 believe the water to be a fine remedy for dyspepsia and for all gastric troubles." Mr. William Smithde:ilr of Salisbury, says: "I gained six pounds in eight days at Connelly's. My appetite was good while there and my digestion greauj improved." Dr. J. K. Lampnen, oi mewiun, it. "Whenever there is a necessity to nunu the system by furnishing it with rich, pure brood, the waters of this spring are invaluable. Mr. James E. Clarke, of Winston, . C, says: "I took my wile to ieanms Springs last September. She had been confined to the house five months from effects of fever. In htteeu days sin; walked four measured miles ana gaineo six or eight pounds. Hundreds of others could be given. So I am not lavish in praise, am I? lis fame went across the watcrstowards the latter part of last summer. Mr. C Hubbard, senior member of the firm of Hubbard, Lintou & Co., of London, Eng., visited Salisbury. He had for years been s'.iff -ring with a chronic kidney trouble, ir.. ;.,.iiiiil in sneiid a few days at Connelly's. He was so greatly benefitted daring his short stay here, that when be returned he had the water Irom these uhinnMl iill the wav to London. And in a private letter written to a friend Mr J. O, White, of Salisbury, dated June 4, 1890-hc says : l'l must tell you calendar mouths, including cold De cember, blustering March and poetic June, and accommodations will be pro vided for both winter and summer tourists. - EXERCISE AND SPORT. Beside the spring is a large, well-ar- building in which is a magnifi cent ball room, a ten pin alley, billiard and pool tables, bath rooms, etc., all ke t in first class repair for the con- "I venience sin I comfort of the guests of the hotel. Fleet horses, sure-footed and gentle, can be secured at all times for rides or drives up the mountains or to the ad jacent places of interest. Two miles away is Ruthorford College, equipped and maintained by that prince of edu c itors, IV. II L. Abernatfiy. Here at all times, except during vacation, is a hundred or more gallant aud jovial young men. These things and thes.1 surroundings give life to the place and relieve it of anything like monotony. The t.'oii nelly brothers, the Guodes, the ?ui!es and the other good people who are residents here are clever and hospitable and help to m ike it pleas ant for the gueste of the hotel and pa trons of the springs. The rushing, gushing Catawba river is only a few uiilias distant, while Con- iii i ii ii i t : l nelly s and other noted o:ius iurnisu excellent opportunities for lovers of piscatorial sports. The surrounding? wools and fields are filled with all species of wild game, cpiail in great abundance. Here niin rotls find a hunting paradise. All in all, this is a great place. I might get tedious so I won't say more except to invite health and pleasure seekers to come and learn for themselves. of the Senate. The distinguished dem ocratic Senators from my State are doubtless laughing in their sleeves at the v lire wed manner in which they have gulled and hoodwinked certain republican Senators who voted with them for Eaves' rejection. M Eaves was the lest indorsed man that ever came to Washington from the South asking official recognition. He was strongly indorsed by every member of the State executive com mittee, every chairman of the nine congrtssioual executive committees of the State, every chairman of every county executive committee (except e'ght), every defeated republican can didate for Congress, every republican ex-judge and ex-associiite justice of the Supreme Court in the State, by liun dreds of influential and leading repub licans all over the Sta, by strong let ters from Senators SaWman, Plumb, and Kawley, and several leading mem bers of the House, by every republican member of the North Carolina Legis lature (except two), and two out ot the three republican members of Congress from my State. "For many years he represented, with ability and fidelity, the fortieth district in the North Carolina Senate, and at the time-of his appointment as collector was chairman of the State executive committee. " With these endorsements it is not at all surprising that he was appointed by President Harrison. As soon as his name was sent to the Senate a fight was begun on him by the junior Senator from North Carolina (Senator Vance). In this he was aid d by certain disap pointed aspi rail's for office mil distil lers, who began to feel the effect of the administration of the internal rev enue law in the district by the new collector. "All kinds of malicious and absurd charges made against E ive, affug not only his adminUtrution of tht office but his personal integrity as a man, which in the many years I have known him I have never heard ques tioned before. 1 hese charges wen fully invested by the Senate finance committee, and declared to be without the shadow of foundation. k'The Commissioner of Internal Revenue gave Eaves an uinjualiti-d en dorsement for the honest and conscien tious discharge of the duties of his office, and his vigorous administration mony of the Commissioner of Internal Keren ue Mason and Revenue Agents Gri merson, Brooks, and BaUin is to bo considered at all. They have gratified a few selfish politicians in the State nnd done incnlcnable harm to the party at large. His rejection was intended as an insult to the President, and the clique who have brought about this result are now asserting that they ttre bigger men than President Harrison, J do uot know what the outcome df the affair will be. Perhaps the dis tricts will be consolidated, with Elil.ii A. White as collector. White was a delegate to the Chicago convention, where he was a waim supporter tf Presdent Harrison, aud is now the col lector of the fourth North Carolina District. The consolidation of the dis trict would be a great inconvenience to our people. I trust, on their account, this course will not be adopted. If not, it is probable that the President will send another name to the Seuate in the next thirty days."

The News sometime ago spoke of the proposed plan of the Richmond & Danville to build a road from Dan ville to Gastonia. The Gazette, of that place, took no stock in the report at first, but now -it seems to have changed its mind. It says: The pri mary aim v. as not to save distance, but to get a satisfactory route without re leasing the North Carolina road. Ref auce to the map at once suggested the plan, viz., to build a road from Dan ville by Winston to strike the Tennes see and Ohio, or more modestly speak ing, the Statesville road, which the Richmond and Danviville practically owns, at such a point as, with the least expense of building, would give the most direct route to Charlotte. This point would probably be Moores ville , the d stance being about the same as at present. But this being settled, the map showed an ellow at Charlotte, in toward the s uth west, i which could le cut off by building about 30 milles of track from Moo res- ll W I.. 4 1.. . . . ., t...f..r vine or iuourue io u.isiuuiii, .- ng . third of the distance.

I his investigation was protracted through several mouths. "In the meantime another compli cation arose. Of all men in North Carolina who had persistently worked for Eaves appointment, Dr. J. J. Mott, of Statesville, N. C, formerly chair man of the State executive committee, was foremost. He not only wrote letter after letter strongly endorsing Eaves, but personally assured the Pres ident and Secretary Windom that Eaves was a man of unimpeachable integrity, undoubted capacity aiul great executive ability. In his earnest effort o secure E ives's appointment he h id the cordial co-operation of District Attorney Price, who indorsed E ives in the strongest terms, both to the Presi dent and Secretary Windom. "After Eaves' appointment, so far as Dr. Mott was concerned, everything moved smoothly. M. L. M itt, a son of the doctor, was made assistant district attorney, and W. W. Mott, another son, chief clerk in E tves' offije. The office was located in Statesville, Dr. Mott's home, and his building rented by Erves as collector. But the break between them came after a while, and here the evidence is conflicting. Eaves insists that Mott demanded the rein statement of two of his friends who had been removed for collusion with certain distiller. and manufacturers in the fifth district; Mott on the other hand insisted that Eaves was jealous Hf him and disposed to appoint personal enemies of his to positions in the ser vice. Mott at once took a hand in tlie fight, ami, enlisting District Attorney If rice, the lyies of attack were formed. Active allies were had in Senators Vance and Ransom, both of whom were exceedingly anxious to defeat Eives; the first because such a result would, as he thought, promote the chances of his brother, tien. it. B. Vance, for Congress in the ninth dis trict, an 1 the latter because of Eavis active and part z m course on the last State campaign against that benator and his partv. 'The President was importuned to withdraw Eaves' name, but posi tively refused to do it. Finally in spite of the enfilading lire to which Eives was subjected, the one faction insisting that he was a mere tool to Mott, and the other the Mott people attacking him, as Eives alleges, for not being a tool to Mott. E ives seen e l a favorable report from the coinmitee. Toe nomi nation remained on the Senate calen dar for a long time. KinaUy it was called up, and resulted in the defeat of Eaves. It is said that certain republi can Senators, who had some grievance against the administration, joined with CHURCHES. Methodist Service ever Sunday a! 11 a m and 6 p m.
