If he had given as much attention to his business as he -did to pofitics he might have kept in better shape. ; It is notewoithy that both XJov. McKinley and ex-Secretary. Foster, who have met with financial disaster, put a good deal of money into some of the highly protected industries which didn't pan out. With the prospect of the bounty the maple sap gatherers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have been humping themselves this year. It is estimated that the pan out will entitle them to $70,000 bounty, twice as much as last year. Some of the "revenue raisers" propose to raise the needful by . : a . IdJklllg SUgil, CUliCC, IC1, CLC, CUi, figuring up $182,000,000. Better give these things the go-by, and try some other way, thatthe masses of people will not object so mucb to. t . h The Mexican Government is tr- ing the experiment of an income tax, beginning with the Government offi cers and employes, and -employes of corporations and private firms. It is intended to make the law cover all citizens earning salaries higher than the wages of mechanics and farm la borers. f r O.ie of the most prosperous farm ing sections of West Tennessee is around Humboldt, where the farm ers some time ago quit cultivating cotton and gave their attention to vegetables and small fruits.: They cultivate great quantities ofstraw berries, of which they have shipped this season $100,000 "worth. The manager of the Standard Electric Company of Detroit, Mich., says" the railroad business of this country will be revolutionized very soon, and that before the 4th of July be wilt run a traio, drawn by a locomo tive! with a stoiage battery, from De troit to St. Louis and back without j recharging the battery between the terminal points. . - . In accounting for his failure, ex Secjetary Foster says that some of the enterprises in which'he put money were in a worse condition than he thought they were, and following -this! discovery came the "financial trouble." " But the fact is, the "fi nancial trouble" began, while Mr. Foster was running the Treasury and publishing rosy statements to create the jimpression that Uncle Sam's cash box was solid. " ' Danville, Indiana, has one solid citizen. He weighs 907 pounds, is 6 feet 5 inches tall, and still a-growin'. Hejhas the advantage' of his. wife when it comes to sitting down on things, for she weighs only 130 pounds, but wherr it comes to put ting down her foot, she is more than a match for him. He objected once to ier learning "fancy dress mak ing," when she vowed she : would, filed a petition for divorce, got it, learned fancy dress making, just to show she would,- and then married the big fellow again. - ? r TV'-- VOL.

' The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Times refers thua to the high honor soon to be bestowed on Mr. George P. Howell, of Goldsboro, whose father has many friends -in Wilmington: "North Carolinians are very proud just now over the fact that for the first time in fifty years one of her young sons is to be graduated at the West Point Mili tary Academy at the head of his class in everything. This young man is George Pearce Howell, son of Mr. R. P. Howell, of Goldsboro. and his father passed through here to-day on his way to West Point to be there during the com mencement exercises, now shortly to be gin. North Carolina has already had two young men to graduate first at West Point. In 1823 Alfred Mordecai took the honor, and in 1839 W. H. Wright did the same, with the late General Beaure gard jas No. 2. Lieutenant Howell, for such hs will be after his graduation, will shortly visit bis home, and will no doubt receive a warm welcome."

' Under the laws of the State members of the Society are authorized to make arrests, but in a case that came before the ' Mayor recently, where .one , of the members of the Society made an arrest, counsel , representing the . defendant argued that the arrest was illegal as the member was not sworn as an. officer. It was to obviate any further difficulty of this kind that action was taken yes terday, as stated above. .. At the meeting of the Society held Monday mght, the members .were as sessed $1 each, and Messrs. P. Heins berger and James W. Monroe were ap pointed to assist in the collection. Mr. H.

In some cases . farmers are' reported to be replanting, and sowing in cow peas. . Nine correspondents report good condition, sixteen poor and three backward; twelve good stands, fourteen not very good. Thirty-six report the plant blooming too soon. The financial condition of planters is generally such as to enable them to cultivate the crop they have undertaken.' .Labor is ample, and from the present outlook fifteen cor respondents report that an average crop will be harvested. .Twenty-three report 75 per cent., six report 80 per cent . : - Greenville, . May 28. Special.

Bays. i ; TheSavannah News is still hopeful and 'bullish" pa the naval stores out look. , Here is its latest prognostica tions - ; .:-.-.u--j--f.j.-,:i-w Indications point:to the fact that'the market is picking up, and the outlook Is considered yery fair. At,tbe. beginning of the season there was npthiog on which to base a very accurate .'. estimate of the coming crop, and many of trie "factors put it at' about ! the' same figures '( as shown by the crop of the ' previous sea son. This,' of course,' had a tendency ta depress prices, for fear of a production far in excess of thevdemand. V' ! April's receipts could not be ? taken as a basis for an estimate, for while they were mucb shorter than those of last year, the work of collecting the crop was not well under way and there were few indications to point out what turn tnatterar might .. take. The machinery, however, is well in motion by May, and upon the indications. of the past month a fair general estimate lor the season can be oased. So far the 'receipts for May haye fallen 14 per cent, short of what they were up to the same time last year, and the season's receipts are 20 per cent, short of what they : were when the season of last year had progressed as far as this one has. .' ' r These facts have led the dealers every where to realize that the crop this year will fall far short of what it was last, and the tendency wts .seen yesterday when the market began on an - upward trend. The' factors here look for a general ad-, vance from now on, as it is thought that there will be a good demand later in the season which will-call for a supply about commensurate with tcthe ' present pro spects." -There has been even a greater falling off in the receipts at other points than there has in Savannah and the low prices complained of a few days ago are thought to have been the bottom figures. This, is, undoubtedly, news of a welcome nature to the producers. ' - s In speaking of the pits mentioned yes terday for storing crude turpentine gnm, a prominent naval stores man said that any such movement on the part of the producers would be very impractical. Tbey were compelled, be .said, to work up their crop and market it: in Order, to keep.up the production; t He was oi-the opinion that some of the producers had tried holding back their crop in that manner and had found it impractical. The storage tanks, he said, were not in tended for the purpose of holding the product, but as a convenient and ready means of distributing it. . v , . j .a j BOATCRACEi Hhf To ..Take riaoe Friday Afternoon, at The following is the correspondence in .relauon fr the boat race between clubs of die W.

Fann, of Cumberland county, was arrested yes terday morning In this city by J. W. Millis, deputy U. S. Marshal, on a war rant issued in- March last by U. S. Com missioner R. H. Bunting, charging Fann with violation" of the Internal revenue laws in operating -anunlicensed whiskey distillery in the upper portion ol Cum berland county. The distillery was seized by the government officers, but Fann made his escape at that time, and has since evaded the offices. He was taken by surprise yesterday when officer Millis ac costed him and placed him under ar rest; and at first denied that he was the man wanted. Afterwards, however, be fore the commissioner he acknowl edged that he was A. D. Fann. He was required to . give bond in the sum of $400 for his appearance before the Commissioner on. the 6th of June next, when the case will be inves tigated, and in default of bond was com mitted to jail. When searched at the jail a pistol with all its chambers loaded was found upon his person. , A FlouriaMng Order. - . " - , . ..
