A Cincinnati Republican . contem porary wants to know what the Dem ocratic humorists will do if "Harri son, McKinley and Reed should withdraw."

The Georgia Southern and Flor- ida rajlroad which sold 20,000 pounds 0f leaf'tdbacco raised on its land to a North Carolina factory at the low price of 6i cents a pound, netted $32.50 an acre, which knocks cotton, even at ten cents, out of sight. The Norfolk Virginian says that prominent merchants or that city estimate that from $600,000 to $800,- 000 is annually sent by the people of Norfolk to pay for goods they buy in the retail stores of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.

Judge Wheeler, of the Federal Circuit Court ot Appeals in New York, has thrown some additional light on the snake question by decid ing that when snakes are imported by a snake charmer they are not sub ject to an import tax as animals, but must be classed as tools with which the s. c. works. We should now like to, have him define the legal status of the snakes a, fellow works in his bQOtF.-iL ' There are so far reported only about eight Republican statesmen in West, Virginia who are willing to go to the U.

It also objects to an income tax. because that is a tax on the rich. It i$ mighty hard to please some of these Republican papers.

He first described the anatomy of the organ, giving an account of the construction and uses of the different parts. Then an explanation of the causes of many of the common imperfections of vision were given with a description of how they are treated. The points were all more vividly presented by the use of two eyes of animals from a butcher's stall. Also by means of drawings and charts. One of the most interesting was the opera tion for removal of cataract, which was performed "on the spot." He also had instruments with him for the examina tion of the eye, and permitted tbose present to take a peep into the optics of a most obliging "victim." Altogether, it as a most successful time. 8.

T FAYETTEVILLE NEWS. County Affairs Sheriff-elect Gsddy Al lowed Ten Days Longer to Complete His Bond German Complimentary to Two Jjady Visitors. Special Star Correspondence. Fayetteville, N. C, Jan. 8, 1895. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held yesterday. The deferred bonds of the newly elected county officers was ex amined, and all were accepted, except the bond of M. D. Gaddy, for Sheriff. On motion. Mr. Gaddy was allowed ten days longer time, with the proviso that Mr. Gaddy would defray the expense of a special meeting of the Board to con sider his bond; which was agreed to by Mr. Gaddy. The amount needed to com ptete the bond is $18,000. The Democratic incumbent of the Office of Treasurer Mr.,. B.TrQy to whom the office was surrendered by the Populist candidate Mr. George Law rence offered a bond of $71,000 $11,000 in excess of the requisite amount wnich was accepted. The probability is that Mr. Gaddy will not be able to present a satisfactory bond, and that the present worthy in cumbent, Sheriff J. B. Smith, will be continued in office for two years longer. A german was given by the young men of rayetteville last evening com plimentary to Misses Mary Miller, of Goldsboro, and Margaret Hinsdale, of Raleigh, participated in by the elite of the citv, and was one of the most enjoy able occasions of the season.

The Opera House was crowded to its utmost capacity last night by one of the most extreme society audiences that has ever graced the hall with its presence. They were enthusiastic from the be ginning which reached its zenith at the close of the fourth act, when Mr. Mans field appeared before the curtain to ac knowledge the continuous encore. Mr. Mansfield himself is an actor of acknowledged reputation, and he sus tained the same throughout the entire performance; but the play afforded lim ited opportunity for the support to show itself, and consequently it was not ap preciated to its fullest extent. The ladies of the troupe were stylishly dressed and presented the ultra society as was intended, and Mr. D. H. Harkins; as Dr. Chesnel, and Mr. Wm. Harcourt, as Henry De Torey, are worthy of especial mention. 0 Summing up the whole, it can be safely said that the audience enjoyed the play, but possibly not so much as had been anticipated. The next attraction at the Opera House will be Mrs. J. B. Potter and Kyrle Bellew and company, presenting "Charlotte Corday," Friday night, Janu ary 11th. THE WEATHER U. S.

Corbett Has a Besl Boot Wiih John MoVey, Who Was a Substitute for O'Bonnell MoVey Knocked Out. The New Orleans Picayune says: The realistic Olympic scene in Cham pion; James J. Corbett s "Gentleman Jack" Company was made more real yesterday afternoon by a genuine knockout. Friday night Corbett's clever sparring partner, Steve O'Donnell, in doing the 'fake" knockout in the three-round bout, fell and sprained his ankle. Of course this necessitated another spar ring partner, so big John McVey, tbe famous wrestler, was substituted, p.nd yesterday afternoon he played the part of the English champion, who' was in duced to come to defeat Tack Royden, the character which Corbett assumes. The' audience did not expect to see anything but a friendly bout. After the preliminaries were arranged the two ath letics started" in. McVey, wh ois a man about Corbett's size and weighs over 200 pounds, was not familar with Corbett s manner of boxing on the stage. At the call of time the big wrestler started in to land right and left swings, and it was evident that Corbett was amazed. The champion smiled at his partner and be gan jabbing McVey lightly. This net tled McVey and tbe mighty right hand banged up against Corbett's side with force. The two were working with a vim. The audience saw ibat the bout was out of the usual run of stage exhib itions, and when McVey landed one or two swings he was given a great cheer by those m the audience and the ringside spectators. Corbett got red in the lace, and then cut loose. Stiff left hand jibs were sent at McVey's ncse and the right hand of tbe champion found a way to the ribs. The pace was awfully hot for McVey. but he did not ask Corbett to. quit, and the champion drove him about the 'small ring with hard rights and lefts. McVey resorted to swinging with both hands, and several of his blows landed. Excitement ran high in the audience, and the male portion of tbe house fairly screamed with delight. None thought that there would be a knock out, but tbey were tickled to see the champion box in earnest. McVey made a grand rush for the champion and tried to land swings with both bands. Corbett checked him with his left in the face and like a flish sent the right across the jaw. McVey fell in a heap. Some thought he was sham-. raing, but after the referee counted ten McVey failed to rise to bis feet. Cor bett stooped over his prostrate form and saw that McVey was knocked out. Res toratives were applied after the curtain fell, but it was some minutes before big John McVey came to bis senses. ' For the balance of tbe day he was what one may term ' broke us." He bore no malice toward Corbett for getting knocked out, as be said it was due. to himself. He remarked that he had not boxed with the champion in some time, and when he got into the ring he thought it was best to make matters warm. He did so, at his own expense. Corbett was seen by a Picayune re porter relative to knocking McVey out. With a good-natured laugb, Corbett said: "Poor Mac. It was accidental. You see, the last time l boxed with Mac was in Galveston, and of course he did not understand how to go about the busi ness. Now, as he is a big, strong fellow, you can imagine that his blows are rather hard. He knows nothing about boxing practically, and . all he can do is to swing with both hands. The ring is too-small for big men like Mac and my self to make a hot bout. When he came in at me pretty stiff, I had to give it to him hard, for his blows would have knocked me against the ropes in a jiffy. I put it across bis iaw, but l bad no idea of knocking him out." WHY THEY COME SOUTH. The Star reproduces from the Bir mingham Age the following article show ing the advantages of cotton manufac turing in the South : First, the New England manufacturers have realized tbe fact that the mill must be hear the cotton field and thus save the freight of $5 a bale. Second, cheaper labor can be obtained in the South. The working classes can live'more economically in the South than in the North, because the weather is milder and not so much fuel and cloth ing is necessary. The days are longer and more work can be done by daylight, thus saving the expense" of lighting the mill. Third, the New England cotton mills export a large amount of their cotton goods to the warm countries south of us, and by locating in the south they get nearer their market. Fourth, the climatic conditions of the South give a finer texture to the cloth. Fifth, the laws of tbe southern states are more favorable to manufacturers. Sixtbpceal is cheaper in the mineral beTfof the South. The Northern mill pays $4 a ton for their coal, while coal from, the Birmingham mines is sold within a radius of 300 miles at $1 per ton.
