The sugar crop of Louisana for this year, although a large one, and made with unusual economy, will not, it is said, be profitable to the planters. But that is no reason why they should receive a bounty, or have any better claim to it than the wheat-grower or cotton-grower, neither of whom has made any profit out of the crops raised this year.

Goldsboro Headlight: "The 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' Company reached the city Saturday on schedule time, but didn't show.

"The fact is, we can no longer manufacture plain sheetings and drills at a pront in tne wortn. we can make the goods for about 4 cents and in the market we can get, say, cents per yard.

Mr. Long, ot Columbus, introduced a bill to amend an act for the relief of soldiers of the late war between the States. The Senate at 12 20 o'clock adjourned till 11 o clock to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House was called to order at 11 a. m. by Speaker Walser. The mam feature of the morning was the discussion under the request for the third reading of his resolution by L. L. Smith (Dem.). of Gates. , This resolution nrovides for a lOint committee of two from ihe Senate and three from the Hons:, before whom the Secretary of State shall appear and open the bids thus - far submitted for the public printing, and that the checks ac compaoying the bids be returned. Mr. French was on his leet with bis followers, although Young, of Wake, had said yesterday that be was willing to accept the bill without the committee feature. Mr. Alexander, of Tyrrell, too. said to-day that he would accept the resolu tion without a committee. Mr. Pee bles did not insist on the committee and Mr. Smith withdrew bis point. Then the bad faith and vicious and money-hunting undertow of the looters came to the sur face, with a swell. There were hot changes and inter changes, and the only argument by the Fusionists is that the Diddrrs do not want their names disclosed. It is too bad about these poor bidders. Mr. French ottered a substitute, giv ing the Secretary of State power to send such bids back as he could identify, and open the rest and hold them for identi fication. Mr. Smith here showed the hand of the Democrats 'in an impassioned speech, in which be said: "I charge that the other side are endeavoring to conceal these figures the cost of print mg in order that they may have the work done in excess if they choose. The Fusionists here changed their tactics under this last lash from Smith, which they felt keenly, and started out with a legal harangue by Lusk and French as to whether the bids were the property of the State. This was answered by Mr. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, who said he saw no harm in doing with these bids what was intended by the senders, and that the public opening therefore would be carrying oat their wishes, harmlessly to every one. Messrs. Williams of Craven, Camp bell of Cherokee, Turner of Mitchell, and the whole outfit joined in. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Tan. 17. Debate on public printing in the House .consumed much time, and after a heated contest Populists and Republi cans were forced to show their hands by adopting the substitute instructing the Secretary of State to return bids to all the bidders, so far as he knew from whom they came, and to open those where the bidders were not known to him and hold them till called for. Their action is being roundly scored by the Democrats, who say it is plain that the Republicans and Populists want to get the bids out of the way so that they can pay a fancy price to their favorite for the printing. Another exciting debate arose on the bill to reduce the bond of the sheriff of Pitt county, in which Republicans and Populists took occasion to make bitter attacks upon Democrats and upon the county government system. The bill was finally passed, reducing the sheriff's bond to sixty thousand dollars. It is claimed that the sheriff-elect cannot give it. Sheriff King (Democrat), who has held the office many years, has been elected for two years because the sheriff -elect could not give the bond. King is on the ground andwill see the fight to the end. - The most important of the bills intro duced in the House to-day were as fol lows: i To repeal act establishing the battalion of Naval Reserves. To abolish the State Guard. To provide for Supreme Court re porters. To abolish Criminal .and Inferior Courts and to provide Courts of Oyer and Terminer. To prevent diamond-back terrapins being caught in the waters of New Han over. Pender and Brunswick counties. - BARQUE MARION S. HAKRISS. A New Veaael to Sail Under the Ameri can Flag. - The Norwegian barque Linda, which has been lying at the ship-yard ot the S. W. Skinner Company for months past, will hereafter sail under the United States flag as the American barque Marion S. Harriss, of Wilmington, N. C. Notice of the change or registry, for which application was made some time ago, was received yesterday afternoon by the owners of the vessel, and imme diately thereafter the national colors were displayed from the mast-head of the barque. The Linda was a derelict, picked up at sea by a British tramp-steamer soon after the great gale in October, 1893, and towed into this port, condemned and sold for account of the underwriter. The wreck was bought by parties in this city, and has been rebuilt and refitted from stem to stern and is now practi cally a new ship. ' She is named alter the six-year-old son of Capt. W. N. Harriss, member of the firm of Geo. Harriss. Son & Co. Capt. Philip B. Gardener, one of the owners, will have command of the barque, and it is expected that she will. start on her first voyage about ten days hence. WILMINGTON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. The Directors of the Library have elected the undersigned Librarian and given him the following instructions, viz : 1. The reading room will be open daily from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. 2. The library proper for the loan and exchange of books will be open only from 8 to 6 p. m. But the Libra rian may accommodate members who call at other hours if he happens to be in at the time they call 8. Books must be promptly returned; when kept out longer than two weeks, the member borrowing must pay a fine of two cents per day for the over time. 4. All rules must be strictly enforced; no memDer may Dorrow more tnan his share of books two at a time for $6 00 memberships and one for $4 00 memberships. INote The time for keeping the library open was shortened to three hours per dav that the money thus saved on salary might be put in new books. It is hoped that this arrange ment besides keeping up a good sup ply of magazines. &c. will permit the purchase of $50 worth of new books this - . 11 v year. Kespecuuuv, THOS. C. DlGGS, Librarian, A Pleasant Sooial Event. The Wilmington correspondent of the Southport Leader gives the following item of local interest. "The social event of the week was the 'coming out' reception given by Mrs. E. K. Daggett in honor oi ber two charming daughters, Misses Rhea and Julia, who were ushered into society, making their appearance this winter as debutants. Mrs. Daggett, as hostess, was aeiignttui- ly assisted by Miss Betsy T. Fauntleroy, of Virginia, and Miss Leslie Worthing- ton, of New Jersey. Miss Fauntleroy's dress was a cream silk mulle, and Miss Worthington's costume was blue silk. The debutants wore the traditional white. The bouse was tastefully decorated with bamboo, - ferns and palms,; and a handsome and well appointed j table, beautifully served, added greatly to the occasion. About two hundred and fifty guests paid their addresses, and wel comed the debutants into society." j It Is Just Their Way. j The Petersburg index-Appeal, says 'The Atlantic Coast Line, through Major R. M. Sully, have kindly given to the relief commissioners the use 'of an other train with which to bring in a sec ond supply of the three hundred cords of wood purchased by the city for dis tribution by the commissioners among the needy poor in Petersburg.! This train will leave hjere to-morrow morn ing. The wood is at Carson's on the Petersburg railroad. Captain W. S. McCance. chairman of the board of re lief commissioners, told an Index Appeal reporter yesterday that Mayor bully and the other officials of the' Atlantic Coast Line had been very kind to the board in giving them transportation for the wood for the poor, and that be did not believe there' was another road in the State tbat would have done as much. Captain 'McCance also stated that at the next meeting of the Com mon Council he should take occasion to tell the Council of the kindness of the Atlantic Coast Line officials." Sheriff John Alford. The election of John McK. Alford, of Maxton, to the Sheriffalty of Robeson county, will be gratifying to the; young Democracy, and it is a proper recogni tion of their zeal and energy in every campaign. John is one of the most pop- ulor men in Robeson, an excellent busi ness man, and as clever a fellow as ever lived. Everybody likes him, and if it should ever become his painful duty to hang a man, it is safe to predict that the criminal will do less "kicking" than is usual on such occasions. Charleston, Sumter and Northern. It was stated in the Star some time since that the Atlantic Coast Line was making arrangements for the ultimate control of the Charleston, Sumter and Northern railroad. Now, a decree has been granted by the United States Court of Charleston for the sale of the road on the 15th of February, at which time the Coast Line will become the purchaser. The acquisition of so valu able a feeder as the Charleston, 1 Sumter and Northern is an important one for the Atlantic Coast Line, and will add greatly to its facilities. U. S. VS. EXPRESS CO.!
