We don't how it is with him but if he sent out a collector in these parts armed with a club and a double-barrel shot gun, and waited for a report, he would quit asking questions like that.

Quite as great a misfortune is that she hasn't much mind to occupy. It is said that Americans con sume 90,000.000 pounds of tea a year, which comes from China. This does not include the "cold tea" con- sumed in tbe Senate wing of the Capitol at Washington, which comes principally from Kentucky. If there be any doubt as to Ja pan's progressing in -civilization it will be dispelled by the announce ment that at a recent celebration of the victories over the Chinese there were numerous fisticuffs, about 500 arrests for "drunk and disorderly' and 400 for pocket-picking. A society has t een established in Germany to stamp out the habit of putting the . hands in the trousers pockets. That's all right for Ger many, but what is needed in this country is a society to prevent Re publican, statesmen from putting their hands into the pockets of Uncle Sam. The latest fad in tbe North is cups made with small thermometers to tell tbe temperatnre of the beverage, so that the man in a hurry need not scald his "innards." This is pro bably the. invention of some victim of hot coffee at a railway station with te minutes" for lunch. I There is one instance on record of a man being decapitated twice. Gen. Wei. the Chinese general who was beheaded by proxy some time ago, has since bad his head chopped off in person. He got to putting on too many airs after being executed the first time, and the Government had the job done over again. The Chicago Inter Ocean, Rep., commenting on the fact that "a white Republican has been elected Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives" asks What are we coming to?" A good many people down here have asked that same question and have about come to the conclusion that we are coming to, or going to well, we wont say where. We are indebted to Edward H.

Two Young Men Arrested for Bending In Palie Alarms ot Fire. - Two young men Jas. E. Tynor and Fred Cooper were arrested ia Newbern yesterday, charged with sending in false alarms of fire in Wilmington. They were arrested upon a warrant issued by Mayor Fisbblate. and were brought back to the city last night by Chief of Police Clowe. They admitted having turned in false alarms. Cooper gave bail for bis appearance before the Mayor to-day. and was released,- and Tynor, was locked up. Information as to their being in New. bern was received by Chief Newman from Mayor Wm, Ellis, of that city, Monday by telegraph. The antborities are on the track of others and more arrests will be made shortly. The penalty for sending in a false alarm or in any way interfering with the glass front boxes is not Jess than lioo nor more than $200 fine, or imprisonment for not less than one nor more than two years in the State penitentiary; or both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion. of the Court. The frequent false alarms of fire have been a source of great annoyance to the firemen, besides entailing considerable expense upon the city, and the authori ties have been earnestly endeavoring for some time past to detect and punish the guilty parties. CUMBERLAND COTTRT. Judge W. I Norwood Presiding XiUht Docket A Homicide New County Offl- elala. Special Star Correspondence Fayetteville, N. C, January 22. Tbe regular Spring term of Cumber land Superior Court convened here to day at 11 o'clock, His Honor Judge W. L Norwood, one of tbe newly-elected Populist Judges, presiding. Tbe term is for one Week only, and the docket is light; no case except of a criminal nature will be considered, l bere is one case of homicide, which will probably be pre sented by tbe grand jury; tbe case being the killing of George Brewer, white, at Manchester, in tbts connty, Sunday af ternoon, by J. a. Cameron, it seems that an old grudge dating back to a base ball game two years ago. existed between tbe combatants, and that on Sunday af ternoon the parties met in tbe village ol Manchester, and alter an exchange of abusive epithets, it is said, Cameron was attacked and stricken by Brewer witb brass knuckles; whereupon Cameron drew his knife and stabbed Brewer in the neck, from the effects of which the latter died in a short time. Cam eron came to Fayetteville and surren dered himself to the sheriff, and is now in the hands of that officer. Sheriff Geddy is present to-day in at tendance upon bis duties before Court, assisted by bis deputies engaged tem porarily for tbts term of Court namely Ex Sheriff I. a Smith, bis son Norman and Deputy Sheriff W. R. Clark. The Clerk of the Court, Mr. Cyrus Murpby. is assisted by the ex Clerk, Mr. C G. Cain, without whose assistance tbe new clerk would have an exceedingly difficult task to perform. H feYE. ABOUT REDUCED ACREAGE. Some Wholesome Truths About Beduoed Cotton Acreage. This, from the Baltimore News, is not an original idea, but it is worth reading! Efforts to j reduce cotton acreage and thereby advance prices are liable to nullify themselves, because of the in herent cupidity which leads a planter to put in his usual crop, or perhaps a tittle more, that he may slyly reap an extra advantage from tbe curtailment which be assumes everybody but him self will practice. It is only when the cron begins to move- and the abundant suoolv is indicated by the drooping price that he- realizes the delusion he has practiced on himself in unconscious concert with thousands of other plant ers. Attempts to unite a million planters upon any scheme for the man ipulation of the cotton crop is as futile as efforts to bind a nation with a rope Of sand. An equal amount of energy directed toward demonstrating tbe ben efits of diversified crops and cash deal ings would show far greater progress in the solution of the s called "cotton problem." i Will Ban to FayettevUle. Mr. R. R. Love, who is the Wilming ton agent, informed a representative of the Star, yesterday, that the steamer Frank Sessoms, recently built by Capt. D, i T. Black, will begin running regular trios to and from Fayetteville nex,t Fri day. The Sessoms will be commanded by Capt. Irving Robinson. STATE LEGISLATURE.

Quite a po litical debate was precipitated in the Sen ate to-day by tbe Democratic Senators, toward, tbe close of the speeches second ing nominations for United States Sen ators. The Populists were severely cas tigated for relegating their free silver tenets to tbe background in order that they might form- a fusion with tbe Re publicans, Senator Adams Of - Moore, and Dowd of Mecklenburg, led the on slaught, and the verdict was that the Populists received a sound walloping. Tbe vote on Pritchard and Overman was tbe same as the Butler and Mason vote. The House went into the election of Senators at noon also, and Mr. Hunter, of Madison, nominated Mr. Pritchard for the short term, and Mr. Ray. of Macon, nominated Mr. Overnun. The vote resulted. 66 for Pritchard, and 41 for Overman. Mr. Mitchell, of Frank lin, nominated Mr. Butler for the long term, and Mr. Monroe, of Wayne, nomi nated Capt. Mason.

Worth, tbe new Populist State Treasurer, was sworn in to-day, Justice Walter Clark administering the oath of office. MILLS ARE PROFITABLE. Cotton Mills Pay Handsome Fronts When Properly Equipped and Eaonomioally Managed. Here is more testimony from the St. Louis Republic: No cotton mill intelligently equipped and managed economically in accord ance witb strict business principles, has ever proved a failure anywhere, whether operated in the South, in a section con- tigious to its cotton fields, or in Europe. One hundred pounds of cotton costing $5.50 will yield, if properly made into cloth, a net profit of $2.32 at the mill, so that tbe number of spindles and looms used will determine the exact amount of profits made at St. Louis. "Tbat tne manutacture ot cotton goods is profitable has been proven by the earnings of Eastern and Southern mills last year, wben prices were at bed rock and sales very light. The dividends paid by tbe mills of New England ranged Irom 3 to 18 per cent., except in a lew cases, and tbe average was over o per cent. This was tbe profit in an excep tionally poor year and wben most ot the mills were closed tor two or tbree months on account of labor trou bles. In tbe South still larger profits were made. Notwithstand ing the business depression, the Southern mills were run on full time through tbe year. Tbe activity in the South in this respect is shown in a letter of the president of a cotton mill at Au gusta, Ga., to tbe Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore: 'We bave run every spindle and loom for several years on full time and increased our looms both last year and tbe year before. We have been well sold up for the last two years and are largely ahead now.' If cotton manufacturing pays so well in New England and Georgia, it will in tbe Southwest." A VERY ROSY VIEW. President Hoffman's View of Business ia the Bouth But Perhaps He Does Hot Know "How Xt Ia Himself," Although He Haa "Been There." a A Baltimore special to tbe Richmond Dispatch says: "President R. Curzon Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air-Line, re turned this morning from the South, with Mr. Everette St. John, the new vice-president of the company. Speak ing of the trip. President Hoffman said: "We found the physical condition of tbe system to be tip-top. But what pleased me more than anything else was tne con dition ot business in tbe South, I After reading the accounts of gloom caused by the decline in tbe price of cotton to five cents, a person would naturally believe that the prosperity ot that section de pended entirely upon the value of that staple. This is an erroneous impression. Tbe ettect ot tne depression 01 cotton upon general business is not noticeable. l ne people are nappy ana contentea,ana bave turned their attention to rais ing other crops than cotton. Tbe experiment is proving highly Satisfactory, and Southerners are begin ning to fully realize thit their section is as fertile as any 'under tbe sun. soutn em business men look forward to a busy Spring. Nearly every train brings new settlers from tbe North and West, and inquiries are received daily by railroad officials reeardins prospects in tbe South. These come from farmers, man nfacturers and merchants. They express a desire to locate in and help develop the wonderful resources of tbe South, and the lines are doing everything possi ble in the way of cbeap rates, etc . to at tract this class to Dixie. It is my honest belief that the condition of the South is better to-dav than at any time since the war." HALIFAX COUNTY.

Mr. Strange, then addresed the audience, i showing the ob ject and workings of the Society! with its history. A few ministers recognizing the need of such a Society, interested others, and in the middle of October. 1893, an office was opened; the pprposeof the Society being to help the .poor in the best and most lasting way; tbis being accomplished in three ways : 1st, A central office, where the poor of all kinds would not be overlooked. was established. , j J 2d. By districting the city to as to bring to notice every case of need and prevent fraudulent applications , 3rd. Visiting by the best people of the city, wnereoy tne poor receive attention and sympathy. . The names of the out door poor were taken from the County Commissioners, wbicb list was, in some : instances cut down, and in others enlarged as deemed best. In this way the Society became acquainted with every needy person, The policy of the Society has been to discourage regular pensioners, but no one suffering will fail to rece va a sympa thetic hearing at the office A Bureau of Information has been started, especially for, the benefit of tnose asking wortc, and wnerever possi ble work is given instead of money. Mr. Strange-emphasisedthe fact that more visiting and sympathetic friends for the poor are needed, showing that this is one of the most effective ways of helping the poor. ' I The Society then took upl business matters, and as the terms of five of the directors had expired, went into an elec tion. . i " The President appointed Messrs. H.H Munson, T. D. Meares and W. H. Sprunt a Committee on Nominations. They recommended the: election of the same directors whose terms hail expired, and Dr. H. Hoge, Dri;Berniheim.-Dr. G. G.Thomas, Col. Roger Moore and Mr. D'B. Cutlar were unanimously re-elected directors. i The house was then thrown) open for remark's and advjee from j those present. Rev. Dr. Hoge stated that of the $2,' 400 actually spent on the poor, half of it was given to those who were able to help support themselves if the right kind of work could be given themi and asked that the business men suggest 'some in dustry by which the weaker ones might be given work, and in this way those now helpless might help support them selves, thus making the Society's help more far reaching. j "Mr. Meares advocated Dri Hoge's plan. ' . , Rev. Mr. Oliver called attention to the fact that the people of Wilmington did not appreciate the work of the Society; that they should help by counsel, sympa patby and co-operation the, work of tbe organization, which should appeal to every heart. He also shoved that tbe Society helped the poor tb jtake care of themselves, and also put a check on pau perism and crime. j u Dr. Hoge read a resolution advocating the institution of a juvenile jref Minatory, as I suggested by the State Board of Charities, which - was I unanimouslv adopted, and is to be sent to the Repre sentatives and Senator from this) county j THE WEATHER I ; Mil I ;U.
