Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the Nansen North Pole, ex pedition, which sailed from Norway in June, 1893. This is Gen. Lee's birthday, an an niversary which ought to be respect fully observed and honored through out the South, v Senators Hill and Gorman are said to be iealous of each other, hut .to the unsophisticated citizen at a dis tance it does not appear what they have got to be jealous of. It is predicted by some who are keeping an eye oh the cotton mill movement Southward that $100,000,- 000 will be invested in mills in the South within the next five years. One hundred bales of cotton were shipped the other day at Selma, Ala., for Kobe, Japan. This cotton which has been extra compressed and bag ged and banded to make it more se cure, went by rail to New York, where it will be shipped and go to its destination by way of the Suez Canal. Edison, the electrician, seems to have come from a nicotine-proof family. When he is hard at work he smokes twenty cigars a dav, and ordinarily ten, and strong ones, too. This ought to kill him, but his grand father, who lived to be 103, was a hard smoker and chewer all his life.. Some men are fearfully and wonderfully constructed. A Northern contemporary informs us that "Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard, nominated by the Republicans of North Carolina for the U. S. Senate, will be the first Republican from that State to sit n the Senate for twenty two years." We don't think he will sit for twenty-two years, and will probably retire at the end of two. Hon Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, got into a stew by the report that he said that a good many of the New York preachers traded off the passes they had over his road. When confronted by a committee of preachers who demanded a retrac tion he declared he never said it, but that it was the wicked invention of some bprn prevaricator. Ohio, Mr. McKmley's Staie, seems to be on the ragged edge. Accord ing to a special dispatch to the New York Post the farms in that State are worth $50,000,000 less than they were a year ago, while the indebted ness of their owners is $8,000,000 more1. Mr. McMinley's plan of high protection to bring prosperity to everybody, the farmers included, does not seem to have panned out in his State, nor anywhere else, for that matter. An authority on vital statistics in New York says it isn't the Russian grip which has now got Gotham but an old Irish grip which flourished in the beginning of the sixteenth cen tury and was known as coccoluche. The impression has prevailed for some time that the Irish had the grip on New York, but it may be in cidentally remarked that the cocco luche isn't a bit more popular than the Russian grip, if it is of Milesian origin, for nobody is rushin' to catch either1 of them.

He Shows How Easily the Cirenlation of a Newspaper May Be Increased. Charles A. Dana, the brilliant editor of the New York Sun, recently delivered an address before the class in journalism at Cornell University, from which the following is taken: There is one other curious point which I passed over without reflection when discussing the present cheapness of print ing paper, and which I will come back to now. It is a pretty interesting curi osity. Paper is so cheap, that suppos ing you are interested in proving that the circulation of your newspaper is some thing immense, enormous, you can do it for certain with very slight expense. Hav ing got your plates, your presses and everything there, you can print a coapie of hundred thousand extra papers at a cost which is almost nothing compared to the advertising you may get from iu and then, instead of a circulation of 500.000 every morning, you can show a circulation of 700,000. The utility of that'mass of printed papers is not de-. stroyed. They are not sold, to be sure,' but their printing is recorded truthfully by the presses, and they show in the fig ures of your circulation, which the ad vertisers love to examine. Then you can transport them, so I have heard, let us say. to Glen's 'Falls, where we will suppose there is a factory' in which they make paper boxes; and you can send your 200.000 sheets, which you have printed for advertising display, and have tbem brought back to you in the form of paper boxes, that are really useful and may be sol for something. The adver tisers are much impressed, but they don't get the boxes. (Laughter.) Sociable for Boys and Girls, A pleasant "Sociable" was given last night at the Y. M. C. A. by the Ladies' Auxiliary, to the boys and girls who took part in the "Brownies" entertain ment recently given there, and to the members ot the Boys' Branch of the As sociation.

The clerk read a eommnnintinn 1mm the Secretary of State in response to a resolution of inquiry, in which he stated that there were in the State 107 general agents, about six hundred special agents, and that about two hundred licenses naa neen issued in tne btateto insurance companies. Mr. Fortune moved that 25ft rnnin of l,he bill introduced by him on the gen eral election law De printed tor distribu tion, and the motion prevailed. Bill to amend chapter 258, Laws of 1891. to protect owners of stock in Hyde county, passed third reading. Bill to amend the charter of the town of Mt. Airy so as to regulate liquor li censes, passed its second reading. Bill to reduce the bonds of the Sheriff of Pitt county, was taken up at 12 o uocK. i nis is tne out wmcn created much discussion in the House and finally passed. Mr. Forbes, of Pitt, first took the floor upon the bill. He said that the bond had formerly been $72,000. He said that this bill was not meant to affect the particu lar case of the present Sher ff ot Put county or any other particular case. He sa.d he had been told by Sheriff King, of Pitt, (who was re-elected by the Com missioners because the sheriff-elect could not give bond) that $60,000 was enough lor the sheriff's bond. Mr. Forbes went on to say that if this bill didn't pass, that Mr. King, the Dem ocratic sheriff, would be bonded in a few days, and hold the office two years more, and keep Mr. Thlgpen, the Populist sheriff, out of the office. This did not accord very well with his state ment in the outset that the bill was not meant to offset any particular case, but it served to show the exact locality of the hole in the cocoanut. Mr. Mewborne, of Lenoir, said that this bond as it now stood was exorbitant and excessive. He said that there were not five sheriffs elected on the Populist ticket below the Wilmington & Weldon railroad who could give their bonds. He paid his respects to the County Commissioners, atd said that they were so great and high and mighty that the only way to get them to do anything was to write to them on gilt-edge paper and have it h ghly perfumed. . They would not bond Mr. Thigpen because they did not believe that sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House was called to order at 11 o'clock.

Mr. French arose to a question of per sonal privilege, and referred to an arti cle in the News and Observer, charging him with corruption in tne Legislature of 1868 9. He specified each charge and denounced the author as a liar. He em phatically denied each charge in a short speech on the history of the bonds that were made the basis of the charge. Special Star Telegram, Raleigh, N. C. Tan. 18. After some further debate on the Pitt county bill, Mr. Forbes called lor the previous ques tion and the bill passed its second and third reading by a viva voce vote. Discussion next arose over a resolu tion that the Legislature observe to-morrow as a legal holiday in honor of the birthday of General Robert E. Lee, The Populists favored holding a session from ten till twelve o'clock, and an amendment was adopted designating those hours. Mr. Rice, of New Hanover, stated that if the Senate was anxious to work he would offer an amendment that they meet at eight o'clock, a. m., and do four hours' work; but this was defeated, as well as several other amendments, and the Senate adjourned to meet to-mor row at ten o clock a. m., and adjourn at twelve. This action is ereatly ridi culed here as being characteristic of the Populists. The House remained in session till nearly 4 o'clock this afternoon. Nearly all of the time after the morning hour was taken up with the contested election case of Croom, of Pender, against Ward, Democrat, the sitting member from that county. After a long debate, led by Ray on the Democratic side, and Lusk on the Republican side, Croom was de clared entitled to the seat by a strict party vote of 67 to 45. Croom was sworn in. Tbe House then adjourned to meet to-morrow morning. Tbe House bad adopted a resolution to adiourn and ob serve to morrow as a holiday, but under the law cannot do so without the con currence of the Senate. THE COTTON MARKET. Hubbard, Price & Co. 'a Report Luce In vestment Buying; on Probabilities of a Decrease in Acreage Next Season. New York, January 17. In face ot the continued dullness of speculation, the strength of the cctton market is remarkable, as there is no sign of any cessation in the movement of the crop, and the support which in the early part of the season was fur nished by large purchases for American spinners.appears to have been withdrawn. The buyeis now are those who are apt to appear in seasons of extremely low prices, and accumulate a certain amount of cotton for what might be termed in vestment purposes. These buyers do not purchase any great quantity of cot ton at one time, but their name seems to be legion, and their purchases, though small in quantity, are large in the aggre gate. These buyers are supplied by sales against cotton bought in tbe South and stored in various sections -of .the country, and also by the sales of ex porters who prefer to avail themselves of the opportunity to hedge in this mar ket rather than in Liverpool. The demand for cotton from tbe Con tinent continues on a large scale, absorb ing the offerings of tbe Southern mar kets, and maintaining prices above the parity of those current here. The basis for the investment buying would seem to be tbe probabilities of a decrease in the acreage next season, and a reduction in the yield as a result of the disorgan ization of labor which must follow from the removal of the intelligent supervision upon large plantations Our advices from many sections of the South, where the arrangements for tbe new crop are now being made, are to the ef fect that those who have heretofore em ployed labor for the purpose of raising the crop are adopting two different methods of procedure. One portion of the large planters appears to be simply reducing tbe acreage, while another por tion is turning its land over to its em ployes and arranging with them for the payment of a rental in the shape ot cot ton to be grown next season. Both of these methods will of course reduce the yield, as those who rent the land will not have tbe same supervision as in pre vious years, and the crop' will be badly cultivated and poorly fertilized. In the meantime the market remains on a very slow basis, with fluctuations representing only tbe temporary needs of local traders. Those who look for a further decline, believe that the stagna tion in speculation will eventually bring about the liquidation of these invest ment holdings on the theory that it is simply a question of time when disgust will take possession of holders at the failure of the market to improve. This course might be expected to follow had the interest been accumulated on an advancing market, but the cotton which has been bought and is now held, has been purchased with a full idea of the magnitude of this crop, and in that respect recalls the long interest which was made in August, 1892, and refused to liquidate until tbe short crop enabled them to do so at a profit. It requires no perspicacity to discover reasons why: cotton should decline from 5c per; pound. It calls for an insight into the future to find substantial reasons for an advance other than that cotton is now selling belw what is usually believed to be the cost of production: "CHARITY.SUNDAY." At a meeting of the clergy of the city in the Autumn, it was determined, with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Associated Charities, to change the "Chanty Sunday" from October to January. To-morrow is the day agreed upon as most convenient for all. To morrow collections will be taken up in all our churches for the work of the Associated Charities among the poor of the city. To-morrow tbe religious com- ; munity will acknowledge its duty to help and care for its sick and needy; : and it will endorse tbe one common work undertaken for that purpose, and will contribute towards its support. The work and its object deserve a general endorsement and a liberal contribution. Both in this country and in Europe "Charity" and "Hospital" Sundays have proved to be blessings to the poor and afflicted. We trust our "Charity Sun day" will not fall behind in this good work. Let every man and woman in the city remember, that this collection is taken only once in the whole year, and to-day let each recollect and prepare for the of fering to-morrow.
