i There ore evils which lire made ncces
ary by other evils, ami the luto billionaire
jongress seems to have been one of these
iecssary evils growing out of one wicked
uncial system. Congress has assumed
ndcr the constitutional permit the ex-
usive right to coin and issue money and
distribute the sauio to the people.
Now she has but four ways of distrib-
ing money, to-wit : l aying on eui-
oyees, making public improvements,
Jch as building court houses, postoffices
d deepening harbors and rivers, build
ig ships, &c., paying off the interest aDd
Jf inciple on the public debt and in pen
Ions. It is true, we her, get so little
"rom these sources that it amounts to less
an a '"yard of moonshine" on a clear
light vet it is the only means the govern-
.
lent has of keeping this money in circu
ation. The sum collected annually from
e people amounts to over four hundred
lillion more than a third of all the
4 i i . i
looey in circulation ana it uie govern-
ent did not pay it out again there
Duld, in less than three years, be not a
bllar in circulation amongst the people.
Hence to prevent a total cessation of
fusiness including the lucrative calling of
ie tax-gatherer it becomes a necessary
jart of American political economy to
end the earnings of the government as
ast as possible. To do this it is not
nly necessary to pay out money for the
Expenses of government economically ad
ministered but to pay it out in premiums
in bonds not due, to help the poor land
lolder to keep the wolf from the door;
.nd occasionally a little lift of say two
tundred million to the distressed Wall
treet speculator. Nor does it come amiss
o make a little retribution to those pour
nillionaires who have had the "fat fried
ut of them" for poliiical boodle. And
hen there is another great national en
terprise in the shape of trusts, combines,
obberies aud subsidies that should be
lept afloat. Of course this money should
Jfiot be distributed through the farmer aud
laboring man. It would spoil a serf, and
place the party in peril at the next elec
tion for the want of "fat."

A SCHEME TO CONNECT IT WITH CHICA-
(10 BY RAIL.
There is another railroad scheme on
foot for Southport and it is to be hoped
hat men of means aro behind tho move
ment and that they nican business. It
i as been christened the Brunswick,
Northern and Southern R. It. Company,
and the name looks well and sounds well.
Mr. Frank Ullery, the Vice-President of
tho Company, and Capt. II. II. Doug
herty, the General Manager, came up to
the city Jast night from Southport, where
they have been for several days. They
want Brunswick County to subscribe
8100,000 to the road and have induced
the Commissioners to call an election on
this subject for December 22d. They
have put up (15,000 in bank here to
defray all of the expenses incident to this
election.
These gentlemen have been working
quietly, but to some purpose. It is said
that they have purchased about 855,000
worth of Southport and Brunswick
county real property including a water
root in the 227 acres required, and the
property for a coaling station cost $12,
000. This with other tracts foot up the
$45,000. This surely has the appear
ance of business men. The company has
already acquired about 300 feet of water
front at Wilmington.
It is proposed to connect Wilmington
and Southport and Shallotte by railway
and from this last named point to go to
Marion, from Marion, S. C. to Greenville
and from Greenville to Knoxville.Tenn.,
thus opening up a route to Chicago to
deep water 1G0 miles nearer then by any
now in operation.
The President, Mr. Geo. L. Dunlap,
is general manager of the Chicago a
Northwestern II. R.
Capt. II. II. Dougherty, the general
manager, is a cival engineer and enjoys
wide celebrity in connection with the
construction of the most famous cantil
ever bridges in this country and South
America.
The road, when built, will have about
seventy miles of railroad in Brunswick
county, and the shops aid terminals of
the road will be at Southport.
HIS FINAL RESTING PLACE.
PRESIDENT DAVIS' REMAINS TO BE
PLACED IN HOLLYWOOD.
A committee representing the Ladies'
Hollywood Memorial Association, called
on Mrs Jefferson Davis last week, with a
view of expressing the desire that the
association be allowed the custody of the
remains of Mr. Davis Various places
of sepulture were talked of, including the
ground of the "White House" of the
Confederacy. Mrs. Davis said her hus
band had often expressed his aversion to
any any publie noisy thoroughfare as a
place of burial, and had desired a quiet
and secluded place for himself, where his
whole family might rest near him. She
said she had finally decided on Holly
wood cemetery, but had not as yet selected
the exact spot. She assured the ladies
that as soon as her selection was made
and tho interment had taken place, she
would then turn over the whole section
to tho Hollywood Memorial Association.
Mrs. Davis has son (Joseph) buried
in Hollywood. It i ln the plane
interment of some eighteen thousand
Confederate soldiers. Mrs. Davis ex
pressed her earnest desire to make Rich
mond her future home and said it was no
longer a question of anything but means,
If she can make satisfactory financial
arrangements she will soon be back to
spend the rest of her days. The site
the monument to Mr. Davis will be left in
the hands of the Davis Monument Asso
ciation.

FROM A REPUBLICAN CIRCULAR
NORTH CAROLINA TO BE REPUBLICAN
I7.ED CALCULATIONS, C.
The Democratic ascendancy was never
so absolute in North Carolina us in the
rest of tho South, but there has not beon
as much apparent Republican progress
in it as in the other States considered.
Tho Democratic majority was 17,010 in
1870, and 13,118 in 1889. Tho Re
publicans carried 25 counties in tho first
year named, and 34 in the last. The
Democratic per cent of the vote
dropped from 53. G3 to 51.80. and that
of the Republicans increased form 46.37
mere are tnrcc especially encouraging
features in the North Carolina situation,
1. The proportion of votes has diminish
ed from one to 5 41 to one to 5.51, and
this uncast vote, which is, here as else
where, generally republican, is moro
than large enough to change the result.
Some day it will do so. 2. Fifteen of
the Democratic counties gave Cleveland
less than 100 majoritv, 14 between 100
and 200, and the Republicans are gain
ing id 18 ot the 26. 3. But tho most
important is that, although the Republi
cans have lost several black oountics, they
are gaining rapidly in the white section.
Thirty-six counties containing less than
35 per ceut of blacks the average being
12.97 gave the Democrats a net majority
of 13.221 in 187C, but only 3,352 in
1888. It is therefore almost needless to
say that this section of the State is also
the one in which tho greatest amount of
general progress is noticeable. It is local- drinking I have I am going to try the atd indeed nearly all household arti

tho orignal habitat of all native variet-
ies of American grapes and is supposed
by many to be the most desirable part of
the continent for the horticulturist. In
1476, the Republicans carried only four
counties in this white section, but increas
ed the number to 14 in 1838, and have
made gains in all but two of the others.
The percentage of blacks in the State,
which was 37.05 in 1880, fell to 34.05
in 1890, and there has been a decrease
in 37 counties. During the past few
years (especially since the census was
taken), there has been a large and increas
ing exodus of blacks to tho South and
West, and the probabilities are that the
next census will show a decided decrease
for the whole State. As it is, the whites
outnumber the blacks two to one, and in
creased during the last decade about six
times as fast.
In 1888 the Republicans came very
near controlling the legislature, and the
alarmed Democrats adopted substantially
the South Carolina election system. It
is not, however, popular with the white
masses, and, if properly supported, the
Republicans can probably carry
the
new
State next year in spite of these
laws.
JiUT UNCE. swans are saia to sing
but once, and that is when they are dy
ing. They are symbols of our Saviour's
song on the eve of his crucifixion. We
are not told whether Ho over took audible
part in the previous Passover hymns. So
far as the Bible teaches on this subject
this was His only song on earth. The
poet Harbaugh expresses this idea of
the Swan Song in beautiful poetry:
Have you heard of the tale they tell of
the swan.
The snow white bird of the Lake
It uoisel"ssly floats in tho silvery way,
It silently sits on the brake ;
For it saves the song till the end of life,
And then in the soft, still even,
'Mid the golden light of the ssttiog sun,
It sings as it soars into heaven I
And the blessed notes fall back from the
skies,
'Tis its only song, for in singing it dies,

PHYSICIANS SAY THAT THE CASE OP
DR. FOWNES IS WITHOUT PARALLEL.
A New York dispatch published yes
terday chronicles the death of Dr F. C.
Fownes, once a prominent physician, from
indulgence in the practice of drinking
strong coffee in inordinate quantities.
Twenty years ago, it is said, Dr. Fownes
became much addicted to coffee drinking,
and the appetite grew on him until he
would drink from three to five quarts per
day The coffee he drank was so strong
that no one else would drink it
He
gradually lost his practioo and became a
physical wreck, dependent for subsistence But of course not- " North Caro
on his sister. He would in his later years linai an(1 at Charlotte. Mr. E. D. Latta
would loave him in such a state that tf
was feared he would commit suicide
After drinking five or six cups of the
strong infusion he prepared for himself,
he would sink into a torpor, such as
overcomes the victim of alcoholism or
the opium habit.
Unicago pnysicians say the case is
without precedent so far as known. Dr.
Elmer Lee said he had never known such
a case. He believed a man who would
indulge in cottee to such excess was a
moral and physical crank, and not greatly
different from people who used any other
stimulant to excess.
Cases where the excessive use of
coffee or tea is tbe main trouble are not
so common," said Dr. Lee, "although it
is true that we have to restrict the use
of these beverages in many cases and to
prohibit their use absolutely in some
cases. The next case of excessive coffee

Keeley's treatment for some time, and it
is so satisfiifitorv that T see nn mssnn
whv it should not do in a case of exces-
sive indulgence in coffee. This case is
certainly an extreme one in every re
spect."
Dr. John C. Spray: "I never heard
of so unusual a case of the effects of cof
fee drinking. The excessive use of coffee
or tea, or both, is highly injurious. I
would rather undertake a case where the
trouble is caused by excessive use of al
conolic or malt stimulants tnan a case
whero it was duo to coffee. The effects
of coffee and tea are much more subtle
than those of liquor, are more like the
effects of using opium, and. therefore.
more difficult to treat." Chicago Trib-

IMPORTANT DECISION.
PROPRIETARY MEDICINES
VENDERS
MUST REGISTER.
The Supreme Court of this State has
recently rendered a decision of interest to
physicians and also to venders of proprie
tary medicines. At the Spring term
1891, of the Superior Court of Washing
ton county, action was brought against L,
V. VanDcran for the statutory offense
created by chapter 181 of the laws
1889. The indictment charged him wii

practice medicine and surgery, without
having procured as required by law

College prior to the 7th day of March

clerk a certificate of registration. On
trial he pleaded that he had a diplons
from a College in Chicago which he ha
lost, and that he did not oome legally un
der the classification of physician in tb
State, as he prescribed only proprietary
remedies prepared and sold by himself.
It was shown that on seveml phim
he had diagnosed cases, claiming to be
physician, had prescribed for them and

sum. lie was convicted and toot an ap
peal to the Supreme Court, which sus
tained the decision ot the lower court and
held the opinion that when a vender of
proprietary medicine diagnoses a case and
prescribes for it that act in the eye" of the
law constitutes him a physician, aud
brings him within pale of the statute.

NO MATTER WHAT MOTHER HAS ON
SHE IS THE BEST WOMAN IN THE
WORLD TO YOU.
Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Holston confer-
ence at Sam Jones meeting in W ilming-
ton, said many good things to the chil
dren, and among them is tho following:
"Respect your parents; don't bo
ashamed of them if they are not as well
educated as you. My mother never
read Latin or Greek, but she knows a
great deal more than I do about many
things. I'll tell you the kind of boy I
like. Four miles from Emory and Hen
ry College, where I went to school, lived
old Mrs. DeBush and her son, Sam. One
day Sam rode by the College, and he
asked one of the boys if he could get an
education there; he was too poor to pay.
The boy told him Dr. Wiley gave a boy
uition to ring the bell. He might get
that job if he could get something to eat
somehow. He told his mother and she
said, 'If you can get it in that way I'll
send you something to eat.'
"He saw Dr. Wiley and got the job
and his mother sent him cold corn bread
to eat. Four years he studied and rang
that bell, and one of the Professors told
me it was never rung a minute out ot
time, and when he was going to graduate
he told his mother he wanted her to
come to the exercises. In reply to her
statement that she had nothing fit to wear
he told her he was not ashamed of her
in her calico dress and sunbonnet. She
came and sat on the last bench. The

for by the debating Society of which he
was a member, and it was the custom for
the winner to hang it on the neck of his
sweetheart. Sam was last to speak, and meu
