Perhaps so, bnt if we want to make peace dead sure, following up this idea; wouldn't it be a clever dodge to get into their debt several thousands of millions more and then we could "sass" them with impunity. Alligators sometimes - swallow large sioucs, ana no one nas ever been able to tell why they should fancy such diet.

But the probabil ities are that they swallow the stones because they are too lazy to go around them. oome 01 tne XNortnern papers are giving their readers information as to how to bid for the bonds. . This is kind.

Settle s friends say tbat the young Congressman is for Jim Boyd or, Dockery. They do not1 think he would join forces with Russell, if for no other reason than that Pritchard is with him. It is war between Pritchaid and Settle and at the present writing Pritch ard seems to have tbe best of it.- , -' Your correspondent was talking with a gentleman to-day a Fusionist who is welt posted and he told Of some little bits 01 history which have occurred within the last two months that so far have not teen published. iHe says that Tom Settle has been downed at his own game. As is Known, j settle - was in favor with Tom Reed last year and . has received especial favors from the Czar ' from time to time. Settle has been considered the general agent of the Speaker in North Carolina and official spokesman ialso. My in formant says Settle in receiving . favors from Mr. Reed assumed t0 be the boss of the party in this State. He became arrogant and dictatorial. (He hit Pritch ard at evern turn, and when Grant and Fortune (both Pritchard men) applied lot positions Settle trie1 to give them the black-eye. He even tried to exert an influence in the Senate. . It is said that Mai. Grant, who has friends on the Republican side of the Senate, also friends of Reed, made them aware of Settle's policy. These friends ot Keen mane tne' czar aware 01 tne facts, and a hearing was given Ma j. Grant by tbe Speaker. His eyes are said to have been opened and Settle was called down. This story gets additional strength when it is remembered that Settle applied tor tbe chairmanship of the Committee on Postpffices aed Post- roads and when tbe distribution came he received the smallest chairmanship in the gift of the Speaker, f It was a sharp move made by Grant of Goldsboro. Mr. V. E. McBee, who has held the position of Superintendent of the G. C. & N. division of the Si A. L., has been appointed General Agent of tbe Sea board system. . t " Mr. T. J.

In reply to a question as to whether the college had received a donation of (100.000, he said that it was true that a wealthy New.Yorker would give the col lege a large sum of money, but the amount he was unable to state. The gentleman who Is expected to do so much for this Christaia college is a wealthy New York banker, many times a millionairs. He is a man without a family and has made up his mind to leave bis wealth to. his denomination. The North Carolina Christian College will receive its share.

FORCING ASPARAGUS- Fanoy Prioea for Eirly "Orasan-MouBt PleaaahtyTraekefa Preparing to Grow Asparagus Sxtenamly Toder Olaaa. " The truck growers of Mount Pleasant, says the News and Courier are prepar ing to harvest a crop of coin by placing asparagus Ton . the, market two months ahead of its regular season, This is, of couise, forced Inder glass and is largely an experiment so far. A prominent gentleman ot that sec tion who was in the city-yesterday said that on the estate of John Nix some two to three dozen bunches of asparagus bad been raised m hot beds, and marketed at 48 per bunch. . This, of course, was a "very fancy .price, but the demand for early "grass" was so good, that other farmeis were seriously considering the forcing of it on a larger scale. ' One well-known farmer is preparing to force five acres of asparagus plants. The plan is to cover tbe rows with glass, two feet inside and mulch the middle between the rows with pine straw. It will cost about $9,800 to prepare the five acres, but the trucker expects the first crop to fully repay this expenditure. This foroog of tbe. plants will put aspar agus on the market the first week in January, while crops grown outside do not come into the market before Marcb. .

The --cotton market Uvdayjuled in a perplexed con dition owirg to a prominent firm's esti mate of tbe crop being placed at 7,183, 292 bales. March cotton sold as low as 7.96, but steadied np toward the end ol the day ,the final figures were 7.99 to 8.00. The small receipts were more or less ac countable for the slight recovery. As we have stated before, It is purely a proles sional market and as the room tradertare' inclined towards the bear side, opinions are of little value unless expressed for artificial purposes.'
