I have seen all the Presidents from Andrew Johnson down, and I do not hesitate to say, Cleveland approaches nearer to my idea of What a chief executive should be than any of them.

The fact that speculators fu Europe find it profitable a pay the transportation charges of this lunvj ber Over sua great cUstanoe by land andi sea is sufficient proof as to the value of .the humher itself. Thelauaher Is sldpped torn Alexander s,f in Buncombe county, and comes to Charlotte in Western North Caro lina ears, and here it is transferred to the ; cars of the Carolina Central road and car ried on to Wilmington, where it is trans ferred on board ship. The shipment is an imrhpnnf one, as a Httle thought will show "The work-of transporting the lumber f rim : Alexander's to Wilmington was begun on Thursday of last week, and the shipments have averaged" ibouT eight car loads per day. Yesterday there'were ten 1 car loads. Each car is loaded to" its fullest capacity, and carries 80,000 pounds of lumber." This umber which is going to Europe is said to be the finest in the world, and great eare lf Uken in . its shipment. The plank vary in length from 16 to 18 feet, and are from !4 10 3 inches thick. The Observer adds: . , . "The beauty of this lumber consists not only in its size, but in its clearness and per fection. The Eropean buyers are authori ty for the statement that no country in the world can produce lumber superior to the shipment that is now being made to them. This is the most forcible illustration of the value of the timber lands of our State that has yet been known, and this introduction into European markets of North Carolina lumber is something for our people to re joice over. r . . ' Death of Charles B. Fennel. It has been known for several days past that Mr. Charles B. Fennel was sinking rapidly, but nevertheless the announcement of his death yesterday morning, about 8 O'clock, at the residence of his father, Mr. Owen Fennel.1 on Dock, between Sixth and Seventh streets, caused a shock among his many devoted friends. During the past winter, deceased manifested symptom f the, terrible .disease (consumption) which so quickly carried him off, and ; he made a trip to Florida with ihe hope, that in that mild climate he might recover his health. Instead,; however, . he grew rapidly worse. His parents - hastened to his bedside;' and,' ra f soon as practicable, brought him back home again, when everything that,, parental solicitude could devise or; medical skill accomplish was dond with the hope that he might finally be spared. ' But alasl nothing would avail. There were slight improvements, to be fol lowed by more serious relapses, until at last he passed peacefully away and is at rest. Mr . Fennel was only 29 years of age, the last six of which previous to his illness, . he ; passed in ; the employment of MrD. L. Gore, commiseion merchant, in whose esteem bis capacity and strict busi- jiesalntegrity had wouhim a high place. u The funeral will take place this afternoon at ? o1ckkrom the residence to the First BaptUtChnroh. .f;,'if,i TUro win .; .

The yield of broom corn is from our. hundred tq pne thopsaad pounds to the acre. Those going into the business for profit should begin with five or ten acres.
