THE PROOF ON' WEAVER, WHICH SHOWS HOW UK ACTKI) IN TEN NKSSKK. Tlie l'ulas'ki ilcinoiTiit puhli.-hcs the following leal' from J. H. Weaver's war r.!cord: "licitcr.il Weaver, while in command 111 l'u'.i-ki, in Jinmnry, 1 Sli t, issued an order to Ciiarii's ('. Ahcrnnthy, John II. N'ewliill, R.ilii rt KJiodc-i and others that lliey jmy into Ids hands SI, (ItlO for the tiiaiiitaiininc'.! of rrl'uces (ineatiiiiii n(v urocs and rcucadus from Alaliaina.) This order was accompanied hy the throat that if tlie money was not paid they and their families would bo s'nt south and their property ;ivoti to said refugees. All of thusi) parlies are dead now, and were over sixty years old when that order was issued. Can any Southern man vote for such a heartless wretch? A man by the name of C. W. Witt sold Mr. Jasper Cox, 11 very po man, two thousand pounds of bacon, fur whioji ho received the cash. Mr. Cox took the bacon to the cotton mills in Lawrcuce county and traded it for cotton twist. This he care fully stored away in the little cabin, think ins: it would assist him in purchasing a little homo after tho war, as he was very poor with a lartco family, and had no home. Weaver learned throtii;h some source that this gentleman had the cotton twist. and sent a detachment ol' soldiers to his home and took possession of it, and shipp ed it to Iowa for his own use. The cot ton twist was worth at the time it was stolen $2,(1011. Jasper Cox is living in Giles county. John P. Williams, a poor but highly respected farmer in Giles county, had twenty-five fat hogs, which at the time were worth 810 per hundred gross, and a lot of turkeys. Weaver, in person, took a file of soldiers into Wil liams' and made the soldiers shoot every hog on tho place and had them brought into camp. When Williams asked for a voucher Weaver said: "I don't give rebels in the South vouchers. I would rather furnish rope to bang every d n one of them." Mr. Williams is still liviii'' and will swear to the above if necessary. The hogs were valued at S7"i). The turkeys belonged to Mrs. Williams, aod she begged to have them spared, but the heartless wretch had them all killed and taken to headquarters for his own special use, remarking to Mrs. Williams that she had no business being the wife of a Tcbd. Weav er made it a practice 10 charge our citizens 10 cents each lor passes to come into and d ouf of the Federal lines. This money he put into his own pockets. This pass read lis follows : ' Pass thbearer through the l'ederil lines. ' J. 15 Weavkh, Commander." . Savannah, Git., April 2G, 18S1). Having used three bottles of P. P.

' LIEUTENANT TOTTKN SAYS DISAPPEAR ANCES WILL BECOME COMMON AND INEXI'LICAItI.E. Lieut. Totton has filed in the town clerk's office hero the following document for record: "This is to certify that in return for 81 in hand this day and her affection always in heart, the which is mutual, and with a view to prevent any misun derstanding as to my wishes, I now and in the preseuce of witnesses make over and convey to my beloved wile, Mary Tottcn, all my personal effects and all my assets of every character whatsoever, to her and to hold in her name only hence forth; and this deed of gift is and shall be in lieu of any will or mine heretofore made and filed. And I specify that this deed takes effect now and shall remain in force until withdrawn, tho which will never be by my hand. Should, there fore, any of the accidents of life overtake me, or should I apparently disappear, all person to whom this comes will know that what we have my wife alone owns, and may God bless her and reunite us in His own good time." Tho deed is duly sigued aud witnessed as Liet. Totten's act by Col. N. G. Os born, editor of the Register, and Col. L. L. Morgan, business manager of the same paper. Lieut. Totton, when asked to explain his reason for recording this document, said: "The time will come when you will hear of some person, it may be in your own family, who has gone and no trace can be found of them. You will not kuow what has become of them. You will wonder, and the first you know some other person in some other faintly will also be missing. Disappearances will be come common, and no one cab. explain them. Y'ou will see crowds of people flocking about the churches and asking themselves what is happening, but they cannot explain lie mystery. I sec it all but people will not believe the prediction and they won't until it is brought home to them in the way I have described. It is just as sure to coma as anythiagin the world, and is mostly the fulfillinentt 0: lie prophecies that arc laid down in the Bible. A POLITICAL .TOBHERY. Dr. V. P. Ksum, the Third Parly gubernatorial nominee, has confided to a most intimate friend that his party has perfected arrangements with National Republican headquarters that id aase Harrison's election looks fa vorable on the day of November 8th, next, tho entire veto of the People's party will be thrown into the hands of the Re publicans. In return, the Republicans have pledged themselves to give their entire vote to Weaver, if Harrison's chances ol' election, should look doubtful that day. This bargain, according to the Weaverite candidate, was made between both parties, to beat Cleveland at all huz ird and with the express view to break the Solid South. The geutleinan who informed us of this conspiracy, and to whom this confes sion was made by Dr Exunj, is a nioi-t reputable citizen of this county, und is willing to make affidavit to the above stutcment if it comes to the question of voracity between himself and Dr Kxutn. Docsu'l this show plainly that a vote for Weaver means a ballot for Hanison and vice versa ? Ventilatiun, not the politician's sort, but the fresh air you need. Health and comfort often suffer from this kind of ventilation. Never sleep in a poorly ventilated room. You'll wake up uurefreshed, out of sorts, and bilious. Perhaps you can't improve the ventilation, but ypu can take Sim mons Liver Regulator for th torpid liv er, to keep it nctivo against 'he ill effects of a close atmosphere w'.uJu c-iuscs that languid feeling. MISFIT XAME8 OF PLACES. TOWNS WHICH II AVE THE WUONtl NAMES FOlt THE COUNTIES THEY ARE IN. If a stranger from another Stale were to look over a map of North Carolina lie would find somo perplexing cases, where the names of certain towns seem to bo a mi-fit as regard the names of their re spective counties. This may sometimes account, for mail-matter going wrong or ling to reach the person addressed with in a reasonable time. For example, be would expect to find j'llh Ash'-ville and Ashboro in Ashe county, bat instead of that arrangement he finds the former in Buncombe and the latter in Randolph county. Ho would naturally look for Greensboro and Green ville in Greene county, instead of Guil ford and Pitt, while he would see Pitts boro not in Pitt county at all, but in Chatham. Beaufort ought to be in Beau fort county, instead of Carteret, while Washington, in Beaufort county, should be in Washington county. Mooresville, in Iredell county, should be in Moore county, aud Juncsboro, in Moore county, would be best suited for Jones county, Haywood, in Chatham, ought to be in Haywood county, while the capital of that county would just suit Wayne. Why was not Jackson put in the coun ty of that namo instead of Northampton and Franklin, as well as Frauklintou in Franklin county? Then there is Macon, in Warren county instead of Macou, and Hertford in Perquimans instead of Hert ford county. Yanceyvillo, in Caswell county, and llockinghnm should be put in Rockingham county, instead of Rich mond. Coluiybus is in Tolk county, and Polk ton is iu Anson county, while Columbus county has not even Columbia. David sen college is not in Davidson county, nor is Yadkin college in Yadkiu county. Neither Alexanders nor Alexandria is in Alexander couuty. Graham would seem best in Graham county, and Lenoir just suits LenoL' county. Vnnoeboro might have been put in Vance county, iustead of (.'raven, Gastou in Gaston county, and Madison ia Madison county, instead of Rockingham. Tin re miiy be other cases of apparent misfit, but these are enough. So when you direct a letter bo sure to ''put tho county on. T. C. Harris in North Caro lina Teacher. THE REMEDY. Lout'scilc Hume mid Fiirm. Ten years ago the amount of money in circulation was 81,022,034,083; last year it was $1,498,072,70!) The amount pcr-capita ten years ago was 820.37; it is now over 24.00. As the currency has not been contracted the decline (in tho price iu cottou) must be due to something else. To, what? In our judgment first of all, to tho tariff, which has lowered tho the exchange value of the cotton export ed not less than 850,000,000. The loss on the crop consumed at homo is 850, 000,000. In the paM ten years this has amounted to one thousand million of dollars. In that time the South has paid in pensions 830,OOii,00O annually, or 8300,000,000 in ten yens. These two items iu leu years amount to 81,300,. 000,000, Is it any wonder we are peer? The remedy is first tariii reform; (hen currency reform, with pos-dbly as the best siiiiutioii State banks i.l i.-uo.

In answer to an "Inquiiy"' we give tho following facts on this subject: In 18fi8 there were, practically, no- public schools in the State. From 18GS to 1870 there were only disbursed for public schools about 839,000, while the balance of the school fund, over a hundred thousand dollars, was voted by the re publican legislators to pay their per diem. So much for what the republicans did for cducatiou in two years. Of course, there were, practically, no public schools. In 1870 the democrats came into pow er, and in 1878 there were 3,388 public schools taught for while children, und 1,701 taught fur ctlot d children. In 1878 (here were 1 If 81 white children, and 81,411 colored . uildren enrolled tn the public school b oks. The averago school term was uiue weeks per year. In 1888 there were 4,438 public schools taught for white children, aid 2,317 for colored children. The school books .-how i.n tnroihneiit in 1888, of 211,408 white children, and 125,884 colored the average school term being 12J weeks per year. Iu 1891 tbire were 4,574 public s-.boi ls taught for wi.itc children, and 2.200 for e. loud; m.d an enrollment of 214 907 of white children and 115,S12 colored the average school term being 12-1 weeks. In 1"I2 iho iucivj.-cd tax.iliuu will llliiuc the ai ia-0' school term about 14 weeks, and will show the amount dis buised 'or pebool purposes to be about 8800,0(10. Thus it will be seen tint the pubiic school system, under our excellent democratic Superintcndenis, sustained by detuvcraiic legislation, has been prosper oih tr m year to year This is clearly, evidenced ly the (net that the fust year of Democratic rule in the State 177, 497.94 were disbursed for public khoil purposes; in 1881, 840l,fi58 88; in 188 -i 8691.1 8-8.20. and in 1892, as stated, about 8800,000.
