NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE
An Outline of the Week's Work in Both
Senate and Ilonse.
The following is a condensed synop
sis of the proceedings of both branches
of the general assembly for the past
week:
12th DAT, January 23. The most important

repeal the merchants' purchase tax. There
was a prolonged discussion on the 6 per cent,
interest bill in the senate and it passed.
13th DAY, January 24. The dlsposure of a
number of minor bills occupied the time until
the joint session was called for the election of
of United States senators, the vote resulting
in the election of the caucus nominees, Pritch

the long term. Upon reassembling the senate

THE
INVITING FIELD.
President Lovering Faces the Situation
and Speaks of Southern Advantages. '
Baxtimobe, January 26. Mr. Vim. C.
Lovering, .president of the ArKfwright
club, which represents all of the large
New England textile manufacturers,
was invited some months ago' after re
turning from a visit of investigation to
the south, to deliver an address before
the New England Textile club on cot
ton manufacturing in the south. This
address, which has never before been
made public, is given out today, and
will be published in this week's issue
of the Manufacturer's Record. In this
address, which is a very full and com
prehensive study of the whole subject,
Mr. Lovering says:
"The time has passed when New England
manufacturers need to give but little attention
to cotton manufacturing in the south. We I
have come to realize that the south has enter
ed the race in earnest and to stay. Henceforth
it must be the survival of the finest. The old
mills in the south, with their antiquated ma
chinery,' have been succeeded by first class
mills with the best equipment, and we find
mills in the south today that will compare fav
orably with our New. England mills, built in
every respect to do their work in the cheapest
and most Improved manner. While it has long
been conceded that in certain lines of coarse
goods the advantages are in favor of the south,
northern manufacturers have comforted them
selves with the statement that the manufac
ture of the finest roods would remain with '
them, and that the south could not make such
goods. In this we are mistaken. There is an
actual increase in the production of finer goods
in the south, and where manufacturing is once
firmly established, it is only a matter of a short
time when the labor employed will improve
in skill and adapt itself to thte finer work.
There seems to be no reason why as tine yarns
may not be spun in the south as in any other
section of our country." '
THE TWO MUST FIGHT IT OUT
Mexico and tiaatamala No Nearer a Settle
ment of Their Disputes.
City of Mexico, January 28. Noth
ing is heard here now but rumors of
war, which seems inevitable.
Captain McDonald, of the Texas
Rangers, has tendered his services to
Colonel R. C. Pate, with three thousand
scouts, in case of war. Colonel Pate
served with General Joe Shelby in the
civil var and at " his call thousands
would cross the line.. The president
and several rnembers of the cabinet
were in secret session all day yester
day. It is rumored that Mexico will not ar
bitrate. The feeling is general here
among, the Americans that Mexico's
cause is right. Should war break out
now between Mexico and Guatemala
this country would be entirely, prejair
ed for the emergency and would have
its twenty thousand troops now on the
Guatemalan frontier, ready to move on
the enemy at an hour's notice, without
waiting1 for supplies or having other
hindrances.. The rifles used in the
Mexican army are Remingtons, and ad
ditional supples are on hand for the
arming of any additional troops which
may be put into the field.

AS APPOINTED BY ANDREW JOHNSON"
A Maker lot History While on the Bench.
First Judge to Decide the Greenback
Law Constitutional Sirs.
( leveland's Sympathy.
Atlanta, January 28. Judge John
Erskine died at his residence in Atlanta
yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, of a
combination of complaints, hone of
which tere considered dangerous. lie
was sixty odd years of age. He came
to America from Ireland when a boy
and movgd to Atlanta from Florida in
1355 and rose to the front ranks in the
legal profession, conducting some of
the most notable cases in the Georgia
courts.
. Throughout the war he was devoted
to the union, and the secessionists re
spected his opinions. He
loved thoj
south and ht;r'puopIe, and was ready to
share their fate.
After bherman captured the city and
ordered thu inhabitants to leave, the
colonel took his wife and little daugh
ter north, but was among the first to
return after the restoration of peace.
His :ipp.-hitiaent as United States
judge was a surprise to him. President
Andrew Jolinsoa tendered -. him the
place arid hi: felt that it was his duty
to accept it.
While on the bench Judge Erskine
was a run ker of history. He was the
first Judire to decide that the legal ten
der greenback law was constitutional,
and while the supreme court reversed
him. he soon had the satisfaction of
seeing that court reverse itself and vin
dicate his judgment. .
He had to administer the . reconstruc
tion laws and the revenue laws, and al
though he conscientiously opposed
them he managed to do his duty and
still avoid inflicting unnecessary hard
ships upon our people.
To pursue the course and retain the
respect and good will of the federal au
thorities and of the ex-confederates
was a task requiring ability and tact of
the highest order, but. hard as the task
was.. Judge Erskine accomplished it to
thi satisfaction of all. ,
Mrs. Ward, of New York, the daugh
ter of Judge Erskine, is a personal
friend of Mrs. Cleveland. and a message
of sympathy was wired to her from
Mrs. Cleveland yesterday afternoon.

quiet Sunday. The troops were ready

not invade the section of the city whose

GENERAL TRADE IS QUIET.
Outlook Favorable for Conservative Ileal
ne for Some Tim to Com.
New York, January 26. Bradstreets
today says:
Special teleirraphlo and mall advloea from
the more important distributing centres tall to
reveal any marked Improvement In the move
ment ot merchandise and products, sad the
conclusion is forced that the general trade slw
uation remains as previously characterised
by small volume, low prices, hand to mouth
sales, and the outlook favorable to s very oon
scrvative trade for some time to corns.
Jains in demand have been noteworthy only
at Eastern woolen mills for men's wear, fabrio,
among Providence manufacturing Jewelers,
wholesale dealers in staples at Augusta, Mem
phis and New Orleans, and, In the ' weat and
northwest, at St. Louis, Kansas City. St. Paul
and Minneapolis only. Improvement being
rather by contrast with recent dullness than
with the volume of trade ordinarily transacted
at this season. An exception is in wool sales,
which have increased sharply, though prloes
are., no higher. Mills report unexpectedly
heavy orders of men's wear, woolens for (all
delivery, in spite of foreign competition, cloth
iers having placed the bulk of overcoatings asd
general suitings contracts with domestic mills.
At the south collections are slow In South
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia. Richmond Jobbers
and Charleston and Savannah respectively re
port fertilizers and naval stores more setlvs.
At Atlanta jobbers are awaiting results of ,
February 1st, settlements before seeking to
extend trade. At almost all southern centres
general trade remains quiet and S very moder
ate volume.
ALARM IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES.
The - Kxtraordlnary Withdrawals of Gold
From the Sub-Treasury tho Subject.
New York, January 26.--The extra
ordinary withdrawals of gold from the
sub-treasury is the chief topic of dis
cussion in financial circles and even at
the stock exchange the professionals
who have had a monopoly of the deal
i nps are inclined to go slow. The with
drawals of the metal yesterday amount
ed to $4,750,000, coin, and 81,000.000 bars
making the grand total for the week
thus far $12,030,000. Of this 7,200,0dD
wilT be forwarded to Europe today
about equally divided between the
steamers LaBourgoghe and Lucania.
In view of this tremendous loss of the
metal, the general impression is that
the administration will wait no longer
for congress but will act at once. Some
had it that a new issue of bonds would
be made on Monday and it was this
that kept the market firm thoughout
the day yesterday.
CLEVELANP.S EXTRA MESSAGE.
Treats Principally of the Contlnosd Drain
. of tha Gold Reaorvo,
,. Washington, January 28. The pres-
j ident and Secretary Carlisle spent sev
eral hours together at the white house
yesterday afternoon. iMr. Carlisle
brought with him financial data bear
ing on the depicted treasury (fold re
serve and with this as a basis the presi
dent began to prepare a message to
congress. It is understood that it will
treat principally of the continued drain
of the gold reserve and remedies for
stopping it. The message will, it is
aaid, be short and rigorous, and be de
livered todatr.
The experience of Mr. R. D. Whitley,
an influential and prominent citizen of
Martindale, North Carolina, will no
doubt be perused with interest by peo
ple in all parts of the country. For
years he has been subject to violent at
tacks of inflammatory rheumatism; on
the first of February h6 had an attack,
which settled in one of his knees and
caused almost unbearable pain, for two
days. He obtained a bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm from W. M. Hous
ton & Co., merchants at Mecklenburg'
City, N-'C. He writes that Jit gave al
most immediate relief and gives Cham-
berlain's Pain Balm the highest praise,
and advises all persons troubled with
like afflictions to use it and get relief.
