Just when Democratc almost despaired of any agreement ever being reached on the tariff and the outlook was at its darkest, the day of tariff reform be gan to dawnand now the sun is brightly shining upon an agreement which , if "if does meet , with the en thusiastic approval of every Demo crat, can be honestly and conscienci ously supported by every Democrat without loss of dignity or smirching party principles. The agreement is not a victory for either House or Senare; it is victory for the great Democratic party of the country, which made its wishes known in Washington, and there should not be any doubt of its . prompt accept ance by both House and Senate. There isn't as far as the House is concerned, but, unfortunately, things do not look so promising in the Sen ate, where threats have been made which may be carried out and the will of the party be defeated by the votes of members of the party. However, let us not borrow trouble when we should be , rejoicing over the end of the long dead-lock. It may be that the threats referred to, which were made before the agree ment will have to meet in the Senate will be the attempt of the Republi cans to postpone a vote by dilatory tactics. This week will probably tell the story. The House Judiciary committee has unfavorably reported Represent ative Everett's bill to enable persons of Japanese descent to become, citi zens of the United States. The com mittee couldn't see any good reason for granting to i;he Japs what has been denied to the Chinese. ' In response to several petitions asking that Judge Ricks, of the X it r e i ixonnem uisrnct oi unio. De im peached for misdemeanors of office, the House Judiciary committee has, through Representative Bailey, of Texas, reported a resolution author izing that committee to investigate the charges and the House has adop td it. - Senator Butler, of South Carolina, has returned to Washington from his sensational joint stumping tour with Gov. .Tillman. The Senator ex presses the greatest confidence in his re-election to the Senate. President Cleveland's veto of the private bill for the relief of Eugene Wells, late captain in the Twelfty lmantry, is approved by army offi cers, and it is moreover based upon principles of the highest justice. This man retired from the army in 1870, to avoid a court martial that would uavc icsuncu in nis aismi.vsai; was appointed a second lieutenant in 1885 and court ciartialed . and dis missed the service in 1887, for drunk enness and other causes. jThe vetoed bill provided that he should be ap pointed a second lieutenant of artil lery and placed on the retired list without the usual examination. In plain words, that a man who had been officially found unfit to be an officer should be paid a salary for the rest of his life as a retired officer. The fact that Wells has influential friends merely adds to the credit to which the President is entitled for vetoing the bill, and brings out the strongest trait in Gover Cleveland's characterhi absolute fdetermina tion to do What he bejieves to be right regardless of whom it may please or displease. The Republicans in Compress who were j deluded into monet i to I the Kolb contributing campaign in Alabama -there are a! dumber of them-fin tbif hope thatj, the move ment might b.' made tie entering wedge to break up the solid Demo cracy I bf the! South, were a deeply chagrinnecj lot of individuals when the returns; were receive. Needless to say that : the Democratic col leagues of Gorernor-elect jOates were delighted at his success,; and doubly so because h has alway&stoutly op posed anything like concessions to the Populists.

It has always been claimed and never successfully refuted that Greens boro has ' more pretty women than nny other place in the StateftK mat ter whether they are youtig maidens, widows or old maids, ' This has gone abroad and has had its effect, as is illustrated by thejbl lowing story which is true inevery sense. Names are suppressed 'for two rea sons, first, we donlcnow the name of the gentleman in the case; second, we do knowthe name of the lady and so do most of the people in Greensboro but well, not advisable tp-fell all one knows. Suffice it to stj snc is lun ui mc, prcLLy, uas x most agreeable, cheerful disposition and never fails to see the funny side of everything and in this instance every side was funny. But to the story. A gentleman, born and raised in or around Greens boro, is now sojourning in thenorlh westtrn part of the State. He has been there for some months. A near neighbor of his is a widower notrl exactly young, but certainly not old they don't get old (in their mind). This widower, like most of their tribe, got a notion in his head that he would get married. This is not strange, for such men are noted for these things. He couldn't find a woman to suit him in the locality where he resides, or if he did, he didn't suit the woman and it was no go. This being the cases he appealed to the Greensboro man to known, if there could not be found found here some woman who might be inclined to enter the matri monial state one who was not too 'you know," etc. Yes, the Greensboro man knew of several very eligible ladies. Would they be likely to be satisfied with him ? Well, he was not sure, but the best way to test the matter was to come to Greensboro and see for him self. Armed with the name of one of our most estimable, genial, charming and fascinating women (for particu- ars see above) he arrived here last week, Widowers don't let the grass grow under their feet. He first in- ormed himself where she lived; then he trot a neat, white card and in scribed thereon, "Compliments of Joshua Jonakins, only this is not his name. Did he send it around by a boy ? Not much. He took it him self. Arriving at the residence a cosy little retreat on West End he rang the bell and was answered by a lady. He inquired if this was where B lived. "Yes. this was the place. Was she mr xes, i m tne laoy reierrea to . -wv v . a r i Will you come in?" With this he drew his card and presented it, walk incr into the house. Seatme himself he eyed the others present, and in a few moments asked the ladv if he could speak privately to her for a moment. She didn't know but what he might, but she was just entaining some friends. "Only tor a moment he pleaded, nnd she acquiesced. Uo to this time Miss B hadn't the least idea what the man wanted, but she was not long in darknesss. He broke the ice with "I suppose you want to know ray business? "I'm not particular." This was delievered rather coolly and upset him for a second, but he found words to say. "You look like you would make some man a right good wife.

Greensboro Rec ord. The Ne'w York Sun's story to the effect that Cleveland a long time ago told Gorman that he was the coolest son of a gun he had ever met may or may not be true, but it is a historical fact of Congressional Record that one.week ago Gorman was the hot test son of a gun that Grover ever fired off. Louisville Times. TheCharlotte Observer 'has the olio wing qn the tariff debate of Aug. 11. To daySxpmceedings in the Senate were of a most interesting and excitingcharacter, involving as they didthe success or defeat of all the tank work of the session; and it was Olilv bv the rflstiner vrf ri UTice - President that the Democratic party was saved from a bad repulse; ii not a complete overthrow. the day began with a' debate ur on the resolution offered on Friday by Mr. Hill instructting the Senate conferees n the tariff bill to report wnetner the conferees of the two houses were likely to agree; and if not, to report adisagreeement. Mr. Hill modified his resolution by insert ing an additional clause requiring the bill to be handed to the secretary oi tne benate for such an action as the Senate might desire to take upon it. The . significence of this clause was that it the bill were so delivered to the Senate the House could not have the chance (which has been rumored as one of the possibilities of the occasion) to agree to all the Senate amendments and thus have the bill sent to the President with out any further action on the part of the Senate. The debate for near- y two hours was directed to that phase of the question. At last ac tion was precipitated by a motion made by Mr. Cockrell to proceed to the consideration of executive busi ness. That motion was iustlv regarded by Mr. Hill as hostile to his proposi tion, and he promptly demanded the yea&and hays. These were taken and were watched with the most in terest and excitement by Senators of all parties and by an immense crowd oi spectators in the galleries. 1 he result was announced bv the Vice President as yeas 35; nays 35: and he promptly gave his vote in the amrmatiYe, thus defeating the Hill resolution for the time being. It has now gone to the calendar whence it can only be taken by a majoritj' vote, although a similar resolution may be offered at any time. Besides the 70 Senators who voted there were 15 paired the only Senator lett uneccounted for being Mr. Ste wart, fopulist, of iMevada, who was present but maintained a position of strict neutrality. The three other Populist Senators. Mr. Allen, Mr. Kyle and Mr.Peffer, with two Demo cratic Senators, Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy, voted with the Republicans. All the other Democratic Senators remained true to their party. the most interest and excitement prevailed I on the floor and in the galleries as the vote progressed. When a pair was announced be tween Mr. Irby and Mr. Wilson, Republican, of Iwa. Mr. Hill ap peared to doubt the defection of his supposed ally and demanded the authority for the pairing him with a Republican. The authority was soon forth-coming. Mr. Jones, Democrat, of Arkansas, produced and read two telegrams which he had received from Mr. Irby, one saying: "Please arrange a pair for me in favor of the free sugar proposition, if that comes up in the Senate." The roll was finally completed and the result figured up. It was an nounced by the Vice President in these words; "On agreeing to the motion to proceed to the considera tion of executive business the yeas are 35 and the nays are 35. The Senate is equally divided. The Vice President! votes 'aye.' " That announcement relieved the extreme tension w-hich had seized up on Senators and spectators. The Vice President directed the galleries to be cleared ended an incident which had threatened to bring to naught the whole tariff work of the session. The following is the vote in detail: A Woman's Dash for Office. Minnesapolis Minn, Aug. 8. Ro manes and politics united in strange fashion to secure the nomination by the Republican State Convention of North Dakota of Miss Enima F. Bates, of Valley City, to be State Superintendent of Schools. Miss Bates had charge of her own canvass for the nomination, and fonnd for midable opponents in John H. Devine and J. H. Holland. She was able to side-track the latter by making her selp sold with the latter by making herself solid with the Young Men's Republican League. She then entered into negotiations with Mr. Devine, first demanding un conditional surrender, this he re fused. After further negotiations, it is said, he agreed to pull out of the contest providing she would, if elect ed State Superintendent, make him her deputy and marry him into the bargain. After some deliberation she agreed to do this, if he would stump the State for her. ihis was also agreed to. As he is a powerful speaker, Miss Bates is conceded to have made a shrewd political move. The Mt. Airv News says that Ex Congressman John M. Brower. of the Fifth district, is strongly and unalterably opposed to the Republi cans fussing with the Populists. He is squarelv with Chairman Eaves on this subject acd will use his influence in having a straight Republican ticket nominated. Highest of all in Leavening Power. ABSOULfiTEElf P3JEH Narth Carolina Callrreaf A gric altare aaa Mechanic Arts. j In the capacity of a committee, ap-, pointed by the Board of Trustees for such purpose, we are glad to put the College before the public. The Institution has now completed its fifth year. Its development may be best noted by the number of stu dents matriculating each year: Seventyone in the first, 84 in the second, 110 in the third, 115 in the iourth, and 191 in the fifty year. The scheme of education, as decided on in the beginning, has not been changed, but it has been enlarged. It was an innovation on the meth ods of the past. It is true that some of our institutions of learning con templated certain industrial features in the beginning of their career, but these features were, however, soon abandoned. The College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts promised the youth of the State an education which could be procured at no other institution in North Carolina; an education broad and thorough in its basis, omitting the classics and metaphy sics, but including the principles of product on by skilled labor, with A 1 . - tne essentials of development and improvement in such things as con stitute the basis of all true prosperi ty to the commonwealth. A brief glance at the curriculum will, perhaps, best exemptify the work undertaken in the beginning, and now carried on in the several de partments of the College. A four years course is necessary to graduation; but shorter courses are being prepared for special cases. in tne hrst year the course Is not elective, but arbitrary. In the second year the student must decide which of several courses he will take, viz. Agriculture, Science, or Mechanics the students in the Agricultural course, however, are allowed one more year in Mechanics. The Agricultural course embraces the theory and practice of advanced and economical farming, drainage, improvement of land, crops, care of stock and cattle, feeding for beef, and butter making, creameries, etc. In this general division Horticulture is taught. Attention to orchards and small fruits, gardening and practical floriculture, forestry and entomology, botanical investiga tions, wifh or without microscopes. This division contains, ' as also do others, a good course in English, his tory, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, pure and agricultural, and in bookkeeping. The Scientific course includes all such studies as lead to the B. S. de- gree. liut in this institution the student must take much practical work in laboratories along with the .a 1 . course, tne botanical work in the Senior year of this course leading into Bacteriology. The Mechanical course includes the technical study of buildings and building materials, steam and all kinds of steam machinery, praphic statics, bridges and roofs, and ap plied mechanics generally. To these technical studies the course adds a four years course in English, in pure and applied mathe matics, a. course in history, in phy sics and electrical . engineering, in chemistry, and in moral science. The practice work of the course consists of the use of all sorts of wood-working tools, of forging and tempering and making-iron tools, of the use of the various machines in wood-turning and pattern-making, of machine work in iron, together with a thorough course in mechani cal drawing, architectural drawing, ing, surveying, civil engineering, work in physical and electrical la boratories, etc. Iu the College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts it is not designed to teach single trades or occupations Especial rcierenee may be had to some particular line of work, but the student who desires to graduate must take the entire course in one of the three departments and thus ob tain a good knowledge of" the princi ples underlying all of the wprk tauct. The first graduating class left the College in June, 1893. It consisted of nineteen members. Of these, three N0.27 Latest U. S.

The moral atmosphere of the Col lege is excellent. The institution is gaining ground rapidly. The faculty is made up of gentlemen of high standing in their respective positions. Everything points to a future of the greatest usefulness, and the people of North Carolina may Well be proud of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. W. S. Primrose, - W. B, McLellano, M .

C., tell this story: It was reported a year ago that a large chestnut tree in the Pisgah range that was green and in perfect health, emitted smoke, as if itrwas on fire at its base or inside. The vent was at the top of the tree. Several parties dug around the tree, but there appeared to be no hollow under it, and was firmly rooted. The smoke generally seen at night and early in the morning. No ex planation was found for the pheno menon, and it passed as a nine days' wonder. - Last week A. H. Vanderford, spe cial revenue agent, came here on business, and, of course, was told of the smoking tree. Next day he re turned and carried a long, pointed iron sound. He circled around the tree, at each round extending the circle, and prodding every foot of ground. After a hard day's work he returned here without solving the mystery. He went out a third time and did as. before, and when about a hundred yards from the tree thought he detected something in the ground that was not natural. He then returned here, and left for Hen dersdnville. The next night he was apain at the smoking tree with-six revenue officers. They drew a cordon around the tree in a circle about one hundred yards from its base. As soon as-it became light the-smoke was in full blast. Vanderford then began to prod at the place he had eft off, in a straight direction from the tree, and when he came tx hard ground he stopped. His men then began to dig with the picks and shovels, and soon came to a tunnel. Gathering their carbines, tbey enter ed the tunnel and pioceedcdcautious- yf toward the tree. They found a arge excavation, inwhich there was a blockade still running at full ca- pacity. Old -Amos Uwens, tne most, incorrigible revenue violator in the State, and who has been convicted and sent to the Albany penitentiary several times for blockading, was sitting down asleep. Vanderford touched him on the snouiuer, unu Amos awoke, arid seeing who it was, for he knew Vanderford well, saidj. I supposed you would fand me out. 1 knew you were prospcunujt around here."
