C owes in which Some History Is written Crisp Still Sick Mill is now a Senator The State Alliance Presidents Enjoy Themselves Hussey May Je Read ing Clerk. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, Jan. 11 1892. senator v ance has returned to his seat in the Senate in his usual health and spirits. In his jocular way he remarked the other day that he was so seasick on the ocean that he threw up everything except his seat in the Senate ! He has introduced a bill to erect a monumeut to General Greene on the battle field of Guilford Court House. He opposed the bill re-introduced last week to elect Sen ators by the people. He says the present plan is good enough for him and his State and he thinks it unwise to tamper with the constitution as framed by the fathers in matters of this sort. As he is the popular idol 01 the people 01 Worth Carolina no one can acuse him of any bias in uttering this opinion. He to )k the oath ol office for another six years term on the re-assembling of Con gress. I hope it will not be his hist term, for few men are abler, more sincere, faithful or efficient. Mrs. Vance is also looking well after her extended tour, and she always has a cordial welcome for all North Carolinians who call at their elegant residence 1627 Mas-. Senator Vance was promptly re instated in his former places on the Committees. He is chairman of the committee on Woman's Suffrage and and is prominent on several other important committees. He is espec ially popular as a leading member of the committee for the District ol Columbia. Hon John S. Henderson has ap pointed Mr. J. H. Mauney, a young lawyer of , Salisbury clerk of his com mittee on Post Offices and P I Roads. They have decided to m Mr. Henderson's committee room t one of the new rooms recently b.. under the Capitol terrace, and use, the large elegant room he now has for the Sergeant-at-Arms. The rooms under the terrace are new am ! have every convenience but they are not as light nor accessible as Mr. Henderson's present committee room. Senator Ransom, and Representa tives Bunn and Cowles have been at home with a touch of the grip. Mr. Bunn returned yesterday, and it is hoped the others will be here to morrow. Mr. Branch has been call ed home by the sickness of his child. Mr. Williams came back too soon after his attack of the grip and is confined to his room with quite a severe relapse. Hon. Amos J. Cummings, mem ber of Congress from New York, and staff correspondent of New York Sun, has this say of Col. Cowles, his com mittee and his record : "The twentieth burr-stone in im portance is the committee on Mines and Mining. Its superintendent is jthat eminent Tar Heel, Col. William H. H. Cowles, of North Carolina. Col. Cowles is a fighter from the town of Way back. His head is as bare as an egg shell and his skull is dented by a wound received from a sabre near Fort Hill, at Petersburg, Va. Tall, muscular, and fall voiced, there is no more commanding and interesting figure in the House of Representatives. He has blue eyes, firm features, a clear complexion, a flowing iron grey beard, and the grit of a North Carolina game cock. The Col. is devoted to the interests ol his constituents. "His hobby is the repeal of the tobacco tax, and Other special faxes levelled at their products. He went at the Ways and Means hammer and tongs, in the Fiftieth Congress. Co!. Mills gave him not the slightest con sideration. Cowles bided his time, but took no unfair advantage. He 'fbngikton the line, and downed the great Ttan in open House. To the cohsternaMon of Bill Scott and all h;s other aids , Cowles moved the refer ence of trie tobacco clause of the Mills bill to the committee on A ppropr Vi rions, of which Sam Randall chairman. The reference was carr i by the decisive vote of 121 to 91. E boldened by his, success, Cowles pr. ited a bill repealing the tobac taxi and moved to send it ,to the K.anaan s committee. 1 nrs move was defeated by his colleague, Mr. JoHnston of North Carolina, wh6 askjed for its reference to the com mittee on War Claims. The Re publicans voted with Johnston,- and North Carolina lost her opportunity. Johnston, however, never returned to Congress. Cowles, not discouraged, opened the fight anew. With Ran dart's aid he formulated a bill the passage of which would have relieveVi his constituents from this special tax. With neutrality on part of Speaker this bill would have passed the House. Through the manoeuvering of Col. Mills, aided by the recogni tions of Speaker Carlisle, it could never be brought before the House. When the House adjourned, it was hanging just beyond the reach oi both Cowles and Randall. The North Carolinian never forgave Car lisle for his action. In the Fifty-first Congress the Kentuckian was again the Democratic candidate for Speaker but Cowles voted for a Tammany Democrat. "Although the mining: interests of North Carolina are second to none east of the Mississippi, she has never before had the chairmanship of the committee. In Tom Reed's Con gress Tom Carter, of Montana, now commissioner ol the Land offiec, ground the grist for the miners. Col. Charles T. O'Ferrall of Virginia ofhV ciated in the Fiftieth Congress. Col. Cowles will do equally well if not better than his predecessors. "He received his education in the schools and academies of his native State, picked up a law practice as a tanner uoy wouta picK up a mint route, and became Reading Clerk of the State, Senate. Four years after terward he was elected "District At torney. He ran for Congress in 1882 .and was defeated. In 1884 he was again a candidate, and since that time he has been a member of the House. He is proud of North Caro lina, and North Carolina has good reasons to be proud of him." Speaker Crisp is still confined to his room with an attack of "La Grippe" and it is thought that he will not be able to be present at the meet ing of Congress Monday. -Senator David B. Hill was prompt lv admitted into the senate. It was thought there would be a hitch in the proceedings, but last Thursday Hill entered the Capitol and shortly after chaplain's prayer was over, Senator Gorman whispered a lew words to the new Senator ; then the Marylander went over to the Republican side to consult Senator Hiscock, of New York probably the last Republican Senator from the Empire State for many years to come. The under standing between Messrs. Gorman and Hiscock was apparently satis factory, for when the journal was com pleted Senator Hiscock arose and informed the Vice-President that "David B. Hill, the Senator elect from'the State of New York, is now present, and will present himself to take the oath of office." At the con clusion of this statement Senator Hiscock went over to where Senator Hill was sitting and offered him his arm. As the two New Yorkers advanced down the middle aisle to the Vice-President's deck the con trast between them was so striking as to occasion general remark. Sena tor Hill is short, but well developed. He has a scant supply of raven black hair behind his ears and at the base of his brain, while the top of his head is perfectly bald. He -wears a small black mustache, which, har monizes with his small bead-like eves. He was attired in a modest looking Prince Albert coat with dark brown trousers. Having rather a short neck, he wore a turned -down collar with a plain black necktie. His colleague, Senator Hiscock, to wered above him in stature, measur ing over six feet. Instead of a bald head, Senator Hiscock has a wealth of silver-white hair and a beard. He also wore a Prince Albert coat with dark trousers. -'Some one remarked that while Hiscock might have the advantage in size, Hill can give his colleague many points in political shrewdness The Alliance State presidents did not hold any session behind barred doors during the day yesterday, but only lor a brief time last evening shut themselves irom public view to give the finishing touches to their soleman conclaves. The sturdy yeomen were, to use a phrase, "on the town" yester day. The circumscribed atmosphere of their limited quarters on North Capitol street had begun to tell on their stalwart physiques, so used to invigorating free air from the early call ol the swine at break of day to lowing of the cows at eventide, and they proposed to take a day off. This they did in the most approved urban style so far as vehicular con veyance overtops the speed of the pedestrian, and in carriages, the best to tie had, they not only took an airing, but took pretty much all the sights to be seen in daylight. All of the public buildings were visited, and they not only went to the monument, but to the the top of its dizzy heights and viewed the city o er. From Washington's shaft they drove to the White House and mingled with velvety-handed bondholders,anti-sub treasury aristocrats, &c, in the grand reception, and were presented to the ladies of the White House, and each one shook Baby McKee's hand. As presidents they bore themselves admirably and evidently enjoyed the reception. Then they drove down "the Avenue, back up on the hill, ate dinner, and then retired to the precincts of the lodge room to deliberate for the salvation of the horny-handed sons of toil who are av home sawing wood. North Caro lina is represented by Lieutenant Polk and Marion Butler Esq. Capt John B. Hussey served a probationary term as Reading Clerk of the House last week. - Considera ble difficulty has been experienced in hnding a man to fill the place accept ably and it has been decided to give it to the applicant who acquits him self the most creditably. Capt. Hus sey has a loud resonant voice and stands a fair chance of success. Senator Vorhees, who has been in Indiana for two weeks, will return to morrow prepared for his fight against confirmation of Judge ' Woods to the New Circuit Judgeship. Senator rhees and his colleague, Senator Turpic, will make this fight a hot one from the outset. ' The discussion of this matter in the executive session of the Senate may lead to & review of the campaign of 1888 in Indiana. The charges which the Senator from Indiana will bring against Tudge Woods Will, it is said, be supported by copies of court records in Indiana and statements decidedly sensational in their character. It remains to be seen whether or not this attack upon a Republican nominee wiir precipitate an assault upon Judge Dallas, the Democratic member of the court chosen by the President from Penn sylvania and against whose appoint ment some Republican opposition has been, manifested. Secretary Blaine noon of yesterday transacting routine spent the fore at his residence business of the In the afternoon State Department a couple of hours. The Secretary! has completely recoved from his re cent attack of indigestion. Mr. J. Bryan Grimes, of Pitt county, has written a long letter to the State Chronicle, in which he out lines a platform for the State Demo cracy. More of this next week. F. H. Hickey, 1208 Main street Lynchburg, Va., writes: "I was broke out all over with sores, and my hair was falling out. After using a few bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, my hair quit falling out and all the sores got well." HOW HE SUCCEEDED. How a Gritty Farmer got Along Without Borrowing Aree Lesson in One Chap ter That is Suggestive. The following letter to the Birming ham Age-Herald is a very sensible one. There is not a' farmer in the South who will not be benefitted by reading it, and who cannot, if neces sary, achieve the same success : "Eyery one you may meet, with a few exceptions, has something to say about hard times, tight money, etc., and if you were to "eaten on to the complaint you would be about as eloomy as the most of the people ap- 0 . . t 1 1 t r-..i-r.-i pear to De. 1 nave a snort, ianniui story to tell in your paper and hope it may aid the wise men in our State to arrive at cause and the remedy for hard times among the farmers. "In 1867 I found myself on a fair average farm, just where I am now writing to you, with one good mule, a broken down army horse, a fair set of farming implements, mostly second-hand, but without a dollar of credit and just $6.75 in cash. It was the last week in January, and the time had come for us to "pitch our crops' for the year. I had a small quantity of corn : about enough, with economy, to feed my stock and give my family meal for four or five months. 1 lmes were hard with us sure enough. My ,r neighbor was a little better oft, but not as much as I thought him to be at the time. We were talking over the matter when he informed me that he was going to Gadsden the next day to make some arrangement for credit to enable him to make his crop, and asKed me to go witn mm and see what I could do. We went to town. It wasn't long before my neighbor had secured his credit with a note and mortgage, which he was to trade out during the year. "I tried to do the same thing, but it was no go. The merchants did not know me and I couldn't make the security they demanded. Well, we went back home together, my neigh bor with a smart load of bacon, cof fee, dry goods and shoes for the children, with a dress for his wife and a Sunday coat for himself. My wagon was empty and I disconsolate, with nothing to take to my fireside but a heavy heart and a will to work. I told my wife all about my failure to get credit and we talked the matter over until midnight: "Well," said she, "Tom, we have got two good cows, some hens and a lew pigs, a good garden, and the best'of health. SO we will stay at home and get our livme from our work." Bless her soul, she was the wisest woman, I think, that ever lived on earth, and among the best that wertt to heaven I took her advice, and at the end of the year I had seven good bales of cotton, 240 bushels of corn, and sav ed 1,200 pounds of bacon, banked snugly 100 bushels of sweet potatoes ; while my good wife had $15.70 made from her eggs and chickens, butter ad honey, and had bought herself a summer dress and bonnet and cloth enough to make the undergarments for all the children. And best of alL. I did not owe a man on earth a cent. "My neighbor, who had the credit I could not get, made eleven bales of cotton, a small corn crop, no meat, and had his credit until he was several hundred dollars in debt. I met him in Gadsden during the month of Tanuary, 1868, after he had settled with the merchants and had sold h cotton. All he had to show, for his year's work was a new buggy that he really did not need and about $30 in cash. In 1872 my neighbor sold out to pay his debts and keep the sheriff away and moved to Texas where he came to want. 1 he same year I had $2,350 loaned out and drawing a good interest; well secured, and I have never borrowed a cent, or a thing, or had my name on r merchant's book for a nickel's credit I have often thought and believe most firmly that the best thing thnt ever happened to me was my failure to eet credit in 1807. JN early 2 s vears have passed since I had my dis consolate, ride back to my humble home from Gadsden. I have since reared a family of seven children, given the best education the country could offer, have built a large house and barn, and have enough, thank the Lord, to keep my family in com fort as long as I shall live. I want no sub-Treasury and never wanted it but once, and then, thank God, I could not get, it. There is not a farmer in Alabama, worthy of the name of farmer, who cannot do as I have done." - THAT ADDKKSS. What do you think of "that ad dress" that was so long look far and at last came forward with such a bland and conservative smile ? Well we have not thought much about it. We look upon it as a kind harm less and superfluous nonentity. The meeting that produced it was unneces sary, and the opinion of ten men amounts to but little with a citizen ship of a million and a half. ' The people know what they want and4 when the time comes will act. If there are -any compromises to be made they will make them them selves. The committee was not clothed with any authority to speak for the people in the coming cam paign. They will send their dele gates to conventions to do that. : Clinton Caucasian. We are surprised to see such an article in Bro. Butler's paper. Why, certainly "'the people" will act. They will act s they please just as they have always done. Who are the gent,emen the committee of ten who prepared the address, anyway ? The Salisbury. Herald says: "Five of th members of the committee ap pointed to prepare the address issued to the Democrats of the State -are members of the Alliance. Four of these gentlemen signed the address, and the fifth, Mr. J. S. Bell, gave it his hearty endorsement and approval but declined to sign it because of his position as State Lecturer of the Al liance. The gentlemen signing are Capt S, B." Alexander, of Mecklen burg, Coll Eiias. Carr, oF Edge combe, Hpn? A. Leazar, of Iredell, j and Mr. E. A. Moye, of Pitt. That t they stand highly in the esteem of the order is shown by the positions they hold and have held. Capt Alex ander has been president of the State Alliance, has been a delegate to the National meetings and at present holds the position of Chairman of the State Executive Committee. Col. Carr has also been president of the State organization, a National dele gate and is the first member of the judiciary Committee. Mr. Leazar, is a member of the Judiciary Com mittee with Col. Carr, and holds the position of lecturer for his district. Mr. Moye does not hold any posi tion in the State organization but has been a State and National delegate, has served as president of Pitt county Alliance and is at present its secre tary. With the exception of Col. Carr, who lives in a Republican county, all the gentlemen have held office given them by the votes of Democratic constituents, and dis charged their duties faithfully, ac ceptably and creditably. Capt, Alex ander is the present Congressman from his district, and Mr. Moye the very efficient Superior Court Clerk of Pitt county. AU-are genuine farmers, representative men and men of intel ligence and integrity. And yet, ac cording to the Progressive Farmer, these gentlemen, assisted by Thomas J. Jarvis, W. M. Robbins, E. C. Smith, H. A. Gudger and C. B. Watson, could only write "political poppycock" and "stuff, the like of which has well nieh ruined our people." They Don't Read Newspapers. It is a waste of time and of a very generous attribute of human charac ter, to lavish sympathy upon the lools who buy bogus gold bricks, or who are buncoed out of their money by sharpers, or who are tempted into the dens of the "green goods" or coun terfeit money dealers. Such cases are reported almost every day in some ol the journals of the country, but the victim is always a country man, and one whose habits of econo my (?) prevent him from reading the daily newspapers. Now and then an old man in his dotage, once possessing average in telligence, may be taken in by these criminals who simply play for fools, but in all other cases the men who buy gold bricks at a great bargain, or who undertake to gamble with bunco dealers, or who dream of wealth by the purchase of counteifeit money, are simply the idiots who think it but waste of money to inform themselves ol the worlds doings by regularly reading the newspapers.- No man who has been a reader of any sort of a newspaper, even the most obscure weekly, could be ignorant of the fact that the men who offer to sell gold bricks at a bargain, to play the bunco game or to sell counterfeit money, are unmitigated scoundrels and must cheat somebody, and that they aL ways prefer to cheat at first hand. The -worst economy in the world in this enlightened age, is the failure to read regularly a daily newspaper, if it is accessible ; if not, to read the best weeklies that can be obtained. There is not a man in the country capable of reading who does not lose ten times and often a hundred times, and opcasionally a -thousand times r-more than the cost of a newspaper each year, by the failure to inform himself of what is going on around him. The time was when newspapers were luxuries, but they are now within the reach of every family in the land. The daily newspaper is as cheap to-day as the good weekly was twenty years ago, and the home without a newspaper is the place where all the adventurous thieves of the land seek to ply their vocation, and the victims of such villiany are not entitled to sympathy, because their own inexcusable ignorance and greed are the sole causes of their misforrune. Goldsboro Argus. Theory vs. Practice. The Supreme Court of Massachu setts once decided that the use of the word "damn" is not profanity. There is a story in the Tribune about the Connecticut clergyman who ina ser mon upon profanity, said that the word "damn"' might be rightfully used by respectable people as an emphatic expression. The next day he changed his mind on the subject when he met one of" the feminine members of his flock, who saluted him thus : "Good morning Mr. . That was a damn good sermon of yours yesterday." State Chronicle. BAD ERUPTION ON NECK Sorely Afflicted Nearly Three Years. Used Prescriptions from Three Deo ' tors without any Benefit. After using Cuticura Two Days, the Scabs all Dropped Off. Cure was Quick and Complete. I suffered for nearly three yean with an erup tion on my neck, and used prescriptions from three doctors during that time which did me no good. I purchased Outiouba Remedies, and the second day after using it the scabs all dropped' off and never scabbed over any more. Before I used up the second set of Cuticura my neck was entirely well, and has been well ever since, and all that I can say for it is, that whereas I was sorely afflicted I am now well, and all from the use of Cuticura Remedies.
