Representative Harter, of Ohio,
proposes to knock the bottom out of
sugar trusts by imposing a duty of
half a cent a pound on raw sugar, on
which there is now no duty, while
there is a duty of half a cent a pound
on refined sugars. As the people do
not use raw sugar the trusts get the
benefit of the exemption from the
duty, while the sugar users have to
pay the tariff on the refined sugars
which they, buy, and of which the
trusts have a monopoly.
One of the New York editors is
offering a reward to some one to tell
him the best way to ''manage a wife."
Our advice to the editor- who asked
that question is not to try- to man
age her, but if he wants to have a
nice, quiet, social, Garden of Eden,
seraphic sort' of a time in his house,
to let her manage him, and she can
do it, if she is the right kind of a
woman, a great deal easier than he
can manage her. .

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The South' Tribute to Her Great Chief.
At the assemblage of the Tefferson
Davis Monumental Association at Rich
mond it was resolved that a committee
of five be appointed from each State
whose duty it should be to represent.
their State in the organization and to
raise funds for the same. Accordingly
the following committee was selected
for North Carolina, viz.: Maj. Gen. E. D.
Hall (chairman). Maj. Gen. R. F. Hoke,
Hon. M. W. Ransom, Gen. Rufus Bar
ringer, Col. M. O. Sherrill.
Most of the heroes who led in the
South's struggle for independence have
passed from the arena of action and left
to us memories and fame as a rich in
heritance. The historic page perpetu
ates their fame, while affection and ad
miration have erected befitting monu
ments to the memory of some; but to
Jefferson Davis, the Great Chieftain,
whose wisdom guided the Confederacy
and whose valor inspired the armies
which went out to breast the battle, no
monument has been reared worthy of
him or of the brave people he led.
The time has come when this long-
deierred tribute to one of the greatest of
Americans is to be paid. Richmond,
Va., the capital of the Confederacy, has
been selected as the site most appro
priate, and the design is such as to at
test the admiration and love of the
Southern people for the man who dared
so much and suffered so much, as the
typical representative of the South-land.
It will be a monument not only to his
memory but to the bravery, patriotism
and superb devotion of the boys in grey,
whose valorous daring is a world-wide
story.
North Carolina, never wanting when
valor, patriotism or duty called, has now
an opportunity to show her admiration
for her illustrious leader by co-operating
in this noble work and sharing in the
glory of its accomplishment.
In making this appeal to North Caro
lina, we feel that our words will not fall
on listless ears and we know we do not
speak in vain when we ask the-patriotic
co-operation of the noble mothers and
daughters of the State whose more than
Spartan devotion in the days of fiery
ordeal nerved their sons and brothers to
heroic action and chivalric daring. In
spired by their co-operation and stimu
lated by their zeal, the workers tor this
memorial of the Southland to her illus
trious son, statesman and soldier have
no fears of failure, nor doubts that it
will be one worthy of him and of the
people who rear it.
All persons or communities that have
already collected funds for this noble
purpose will please notify the chairman
at once of the amount, and the disposi
tion of the same, as it is desired to remit
to headquarters the funds as soon as re
ceived. E. D. Hall, Chairman.
The State Press is requested to copy.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE GLEE CLUBS
Wiil Spend the Christmas Holiday s in
Wilmington and Give Two Performances.
The famous Columbia College glee,
banjo and mandolin clubs, which are
going to make their first Southern tour
during the holidays, will play in Wil
mington December 26th at the Opera
House. The clubs recently made a
very successful trip through New York
State. Of them the Oswego (N Y.),
Record, of November 25th, has the fol
lowing: "The Columbia College Glee, Banjo
and Mandolin Clubs ought to be, and were
undoubtedly, well pleased at the recep
tion they received at the Wilson Opera
House last evening. The audience was
large, and the society and music-loving
people
were well represented. Lvery
thusiagtic appiausefand not one failed to
received an encore.
The
Columbia boys are sure of a hearty re
ception if they ever make another visit
to Oswego, which it is hoped they may
be able to do."
The organization carries twenty-five
young men. These are the best musical
clubs Columbia has ever sent out, and
people should not lose the opportunity
of contrasting them with the other Col
lege clubs which have appeared here. It
is predicted that the Columbia Clubs
will not lose anything by comparison.-
At the urgent request of many Wil
mington people the clubs will remain
here the next day, giving a concert at
the Y. M. C. A. hall Tuesday evening,
December 27th.
The patronesses announced for the
entertainment to be given in Wilming

Georgia Turpentine Hands.
The Savannah News says: ''From the
reports of the railroad men there will
only be a few hundred turpentine hands
that will leave the State to spend Christ
mas in North Carolina this year. The
season has not been an especially profit
able one with the turpentine operators
this year, and the labor has suffered ac
cordingly. Usually there are several
thousand turpentine hands who return
to North Carolina to spend Christmas,
and the railroads have a regular bonanza
hauling them to and fro."
The Other Bide.
All the colored pastors of the city will
speak on the "Loney Doctrine" at the
Ebenezer Baptist Church on Tuesday
night. AH the choirs of the different
churches are requested to be present
with the Gospel Hymn books, Every
body is invited.

successful termination, owing to a com
bination of circumstances, but as you
are well aware, we surmounted them,
and our Welcome Week of 1892 sur
passed the previous one. Where all so
well performed your part greatly aid
ing and assisting by both time, money and
advice it may seem inappropriate to par
ticularize, still I think you will all agree
with me that special praise is due our
worthy secretary, Mr. G. G. Lewis, to
whose energy, push and perseverance
much of the success of this carnival is
due and as chairman of the Executive
Committee, I wish especially to thank
him for the very efficient aid extended
to me in many ways. I would also ac
knowledge the zeal displayed by Mr. W.
rl. Carr, and thank him for the services
rendered.
It is discouraging that we received no
stronger support from the merchants, but
few of them putting floats in our trades
parade making subscriptions small
and some refusing to subscribe anything
thereby throwing the burden on a very
few of the more liberal while they reap
the full benefit of the celebration. Un
less there shall be a greater interest de
veloped I would suggest that we do not
attempt it another year. While it is of
great benefit to the city in many ways it
is not right that a few should bear the
burden which should be more equally
distributed, l thank you one and all lor
the support you have so cheerfully given
to me, and with this I tender my resig
nation as the chairman of your commit
tee. Respectfully submitted,
Geo. R. French,
Chairman Wil. Welcome Week.
On motion of Mr. Sharp, action on
the resignation of Mr. French was de
ferred until the meeting of business
men (to be called), when the terms of
the entire committee will expire by
limitation.
On motion, the chairman was re
quested to call a meeting of the business
men on Tuesday next (20th inst.) at 8
o'clock at the City-Court room, where a
final report will be made. All are re
quested to attend, as it will be decided
then whether to have another Welcome
Week or not.
On motion the thanks of the commit
tee were extended to Mr. Montague,
manager of The Orton House, for many
courtesies extended during the meet
ings.
The Magistrates' Meeting.
The magistrates' meeting yesterday,
called to' consider the matter of improv
ing county roads, failed of a quorum
only fifteen of the justices were present
and on motion the meeting adjourned
until Thursday next, the 22d inst. In
this connection it may not be out of
place to state that at a recent meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce of Raleigh
a committee was appointed to memo
rialize the coming Legislature to call to
gether at the proper time and place a
road congress for the purpose of im
proving the public roads in the State,
the members of the congress to be ap
pointed by the Governor, mayors of
