IA AND NOBTU CAROLINA FARMERS.

North Carolina, met in convention at

ing represented. The object of the meet
ing is organization among tobacco grow
ers and discussions leading to tho defeat
of tho "Cutter trust" and such measures
as will redound to the good of tho tobac

ance Tobacco Growers Association of the
States." A resolution endorsing the de
mauds of the Supreme council, adopted
at ( )oala; Fla , was adopted.
The deliberations were private and

convention adjourned to meet at the cull
of the executive coniinitee which will
name the time and place.
A banquet was given by the Tub cco
Board of Trade to the delegates and far
mers, numbering over 500. This was a
splendid affair gotten up under the aus

homes.

the courtesies and hospitalities shown
them by the citizens of Henderson and
the result of their coming together for
the object in view.
TUB LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE
i RENDERS A DECISION IN FAVOR OF
THE COMPANY.
At the last session of the Legislature
John A. Morris and associates made ap
plicationfor t renewal of the Louisiana
State Lottery charter for 25 years offer
ing to pay tho State more than a million
of dollars per annum for the privilege.
A bill embody the requisite amendments
to the Constitution known as the Lottery
amendments, was adopted by a two-tbirds
vote of the Legislature and by courtesy
a copy of the act was sent to Governor
Nichols, who vetoed it, although the
friends of the measure argued that he
bad no right to do so under the Consti
tution. The Secretary of State having
refused to promulgate the act, Morris
and Company applied for a mandamus
compelling him to promulgate the pro
posed constitutional amendment to be
voted on by the people at the next gen
eral election. The Supreme court ren
dered a decision in favor of the Lottery
Company, Judge Watkins reading the
opinion as the oruau of the court; Chit f
Justico bermudez and Anociati: Ju-iien
McKnery concurring, each read opinions
while Associate Justices Fenner and
Breaux read dissenting opinions.

VAN DE RBI LT'S PROPERTY
ITS Sl'I.ENDOJR RECALLS THE ARABIAN
night's ENTEHTAINM ENT.
The stories that have recently become
current concerning the development of
Georgo Vanderbilt's schemes wilh refer
ence to his residence and property in
North Carolina have been of such a char
acter as to excite a good deal of wonder
and speculation. The house that young
Mr. Vanderbilt is having built will be
it is said, one of the most costly private
country residences in the entire country,
and the surroundiug park that
will include 30,000 acres of land will be
laid out under the direction of a landgar
dener, who has been instructed to spare
no expense in getting it into a very faith
ful likeness of one of the private parks of
old England. The Vanderbilt house
will be two miles from tho nearest resi
dence, and a private railroad for the use
of George Vanderbilt and his retainers
has been constructed, or is in course of
construction, to reach the nearest railroad
station, which is twenty-five miles away.
The bits of description concerning the
house itself, the proposed furnishing and
equipment of it, call up ideas of extrava
gance and splendor which can only be
gotten in another way by reading the
''Arabian Nights." It is staled, in fact,
that young Vanderbilt has become so
fascinated with the idea of establishing a
North Carolina estate that his thoughts
scarcely concern themselves with any
thing else, and he has spent and seems
to be willing to spend any amount of
money to bring everything to the most
complete imaginable point. One state
ment which must be an exaggeration is
to the effect that wheu everything is fin
ished and ready for the ue and occupa
tion of the owner, the entire expenditure
will amount to S.),OOU,()U0. This is
half of George Vanderbilt's entire fortune
and from that point of view the story
seems preposterous. This much is cer
tain, that tho Vanderbilt family generally
are very much opposed to young Van
derbilt's scheme in its latest and most
costly ramifications, and they have pro
tested against his going on with it, but
up to date the protests seem to have had
no effect New Yoik Woild.
FROM BAD TO WORSE.
The ordinary treatment of contagious
blood poisoning is to drive one poison
from the system by introducing another.
The result, in most cases, has been that
which usually follows a leap from the
frying-pan into the fire. To put it mild
ly, mercurial and other blood poisonings
have disadvantages which are hardly lees
serious than contagious blood poison.
In either case the system is wrecked; and
yet there is no reason why humanity
should contiuue to suffer. It is the office
of S. S. S. to cure contagious blood pois
ing. For that disease the medicine is
surely a specific. And it is also its office
to cure mercurial and other mineral pois
oning. In short, S. S. S. is the great
blood purifier. It destroys the germs of
the coutagious disease, and expels from
the systems all forms of mineral poison
ing. It restores health and strength to
the sufferer.
STALLED BY C ATTEKP1LLERS.
Last week as train No. 36 on the Car
olina Central was coming towards Wil
mington from Charlotte, the engineer
discovered that Big Swamp trestle, near
Bladenboro, was literally covired with
tens of thousands of catterpillers. The
engine crushed into them with a full
head of steam on aud tho result was iht
the driving wheels of the locomotive
slipped and slided so as to make it ex
ceedingly difficult to pull the train along
The engineer "'give her sand," however,
aud the next time he stopped his engine,
he found the plough and wheels of his
locomotive a mass of slaughtered catter
pillers, the like of which ho had never
before experienced.

THE TREASURY GUTTED.
SO SAYS THE ACCURATE NEW YORK
t HERALD.
The Treasury has been like a ship In-
baring in a storm every since the Harri
son administration came in. There was
a siirt'lus in the Treasury on June 'M
1S8I), of 857,470,121), and there was a
reserve fund for the redemption of na
tional bank notes of $83,681,21)0. Se
cretary Fairehild has paid out for the
sinking fund 47,583,213.
These three items, which would enter
into a Republican estimate of the surplus
footed ud ovr $188,000,000. This was
the legacy which the Cleveland adminis
tration left to Mr. Harrison and the bil
lion dollar Congress.
The President and the Congress took
the job "of getting rid of the surplus"
and they have gotten rid of it. They
have done the job so well that they cre
ated a big deficit according to the old
methods of bookkeeping.
Athe ship has labored midst the
waves of Reedism and McKinlcyism load
alter load of gold and silver and paper
money has "gone by the board" to light
en the strain and keep the hulk afloat.
First, the entire trust fund fur the re
demption of national bank notes was
thrown out. A stroke of the President's
pen by the signing of the Silver hill last
summer transferred this whole sum from
the trust funds held in reserve into the
Treasury cash.
Democratic administrations have been
inefficient. They have grappled with
deficits and upon the eve of war, but nev
er in a lime of profound peace with du
ties at an average ad valorem rate of
fifty-two per cent, from the days of Al
bert Gallatin to those of Daniel Manning
and Charles S. Fairehild, has a Demo
cratic administration been reduced to
such infamous straits as this.
The Treasury is practically gutted.
Ilamly anything remains which can be
takeu, unless it is the gold reserve of
$100,000,000 which Secretary Sherman
set aside nearly half a generation ago as
the sacred pledge for the resumption of
specie payments. A little more juggling
wilh the books may squeeze out a few
more millions and 'avoid the necessity of
new taxes upon the people. The Fifty-
second Congress will be economical by
force of necessity. Another billion dol
lar Congress would send the nation beg
gingin the money markets of the world,
with ruined cradit and a dishonored cur
rency.
DEW MUTE INSTITUTION.
WORK TO BE PUSHED AT MORGAN
TON. The Board secured for the use of the
Institution 203 acres of land, including
the celebrated mineral spring and one
half mile of railroad front. The build
ing site commands a magnificent view of
the town of Morgauton and of the Wes
tern Hospital, occupying as it does the
highest point in the vicinity. About one
half of the tract, or one hundred acres
is finely adapted to the various grasses
and to farming purposes generally. A
committee consisting of Messrs. Brongh-
ton, Aycock and Holt, accompanied by
an experienced man in such matters, will
start out in June, and will go north and
west on'a tour of inspection among the
various institutions of tho sort to obtain
full information as to the plan of the
new building and matters related thereto
Meanwhile arrangements have been made
to place 1,500,000 brick on the grounds.
Tho grounds secured cost $i),500, of
which amount the State paid $1,500,
