The bankers and mort gage companies here represent tliat they cannot lend monev in North Carolina at less than seven iht cent, and eveQone with whom 1 talked fcaid that they were arrang itig to call in their money as speedi ly as pos-eible. ; lt'i .1 v . nencver the i onuiiets arc in control you win nnd that the credit - 1 : i . a of the fctnte is imtaired and its proj,erty depreciateJ in the money markets of tho world.

There are now in the South 372 cotton mills complete or in course of erection. Of these 140 are in North Caro lina. CI m Georgia, GO in South Carolina, iio m Tennessee, !!1 in Arkansas, 25 in m Alabama, IS Maryland, 0 in Virginia, I) in Tex as, 8 in Mississippi, in Kentucky, 5 in Louisiana, 1 iu Florida and 1 in West Virginia. Though North Carolina is tirst among the southern states in the ntimticr of mills she is third in cotton manufacturing ca pacity. South Carolina being first and Georgia second. In addition to the number of mills complete or in course of con structure in the South there are 36 projecte'd and to be built very soon. In lb'JO the total number of cot ton mills in the entire South, com pleteymder construction and projec ted was 2o4. Itisnow-loS. During this period the number of spindles has increased from 1,610,062 to :J,oO 1,240; the number of looms from o,v3."t to 70,S74. The man ufacturing capacity of southern cotton mills has thus nearly doubled in the last five years and during tlie greater part oV that time the country has isiitlered from severe business depression. No other section of the country can show ary thing comparable to this improvement in any line of industry since 1MH. Atlanta Jour nal. A Unique Prayer. At a prayer meeting in a small town r.ear Syracuse recently, an il literary but" gooi man made the following prayer: "O Lord. Thou knowest that" we are thankful to Thee that our souls are safe from the fire that ipuencheth not. If a man lose his horse. Thou knowtst that he can buy another; if he lose his house. Thou knowe-t that he cn build another; if he lose his wife. Thou knowest that he can get another, but if he lose his soul good bye, John." Subscribe to the Nws, ony One Dollar per year. THUKSDAY, APREL slandi:r in a prayer. MJss KeLo, Librarian or the Los Angeles Library, Suing a Patstor. Loe Angeles. CaL, April 2. Judge Clarke has overruled th demurrer interposed by iiev. J. C. uampbeli in the suit charging him with slandering Miss Teresa L. Kelso, the librarian ot the Los Angeles public library. The basis of the action waa a prayer offered by the defendant before his congre gation in the First Methodist Epis copal church, in which he said: '0h. Lord, vouchsafe Thy saving grace to the librarian of the Los Angeles city library and cleanse her ot all sin and make her a woman worthy of her office," Mr. Campbell, in his demurrer took the position that his statement waa privileged. The court held that a slander can be perpetrated in the form of prayer as readily as in any other torm of 6peeh,And that no com . i i muncatiou maae ov parson or priest to his congregation is privi cged because of such.relatiou, nn ess, perhaps, when made in the discharge of his pastoial dntiea with one subject to the discipline ot the church, and then only unless made without malico. True as Preaching. One of our northern exchangee, speaking of the failure of a negro colony in Alexico, says : "lhe truth is that the colored peop'e of the South get along better there than in any other part of the world. Ih.s is tho be6t country on the face of the earth for the people who were born in it, and for a good many other people ot 6undry races." 1 here is uo doubt of the truth of this statemeut. The negro finds nothing in the North to compensate him for leaving the South and im migrating to that section. In N orth Carolina for example, a negro is at least recognized as a human being. In tho North his presence is simply ignored. He is free to "gang his ain gait," but he haa no 6uch real freedom there as ho has in the South. All the northern theories on this subject are completely answered by tho undoubted fact that negroes choose rather to work in the South for a dollar a day than in the North for two dollars a day. Home Pride . ''When 'ou hear a man abusing his home place," says the Staunton News, "you may be sure the senti ment is reciprocal, and his departure for some other field would be hailed with delight. Stand up for your town," 6ays our contemporary, "and do what you can to help along every man who is engaged in a legitimate business. His success will be your success. If you felt disposed to do it, and could break down every man in town, his poverty would react on you and make you poor also." No man yet has accomplished anything by abusing his home, and it is a sorry man who will do it. Neither does it do a man any good to abuse his neighbor. This is a great big world, and it a, man don't like his location let him move on. Norfolk Virginian. JlSK Literature. A son of Haywood Tilley, who lives in Mangutn township was in town yesterday and he tells an in cident of the laying of eggs at his home. His father owns sixty seven hens. Last autumn, when they put away their threshing machine, they left a lot of 6traw in it. The hens were laying but the' could not find the eggs until a few days ago. It was then discovered that a ne6t had been made in tho teed trough of the machine, just over one of the car riage boxes that led to the depository beneath. The hens all took to this place and when each egg was laid, it would roll through into the re ceptacle below. "When found it was full ot eggs, possibly as many as a hundred dozen. Durham Sun. The last United States war vessel lost at sea was the Albany. In tho yearlS54 the Albany, then attached to tho home squadron, sailed out of the harbor of Pensacola, bound for . the West Indies, under the command of Capt James T. Gerry. Nothing has been heard ol her from that day to this, and her fate must ever remain one of the many mysteries of the sea, as none of her crew sarvived to tell the tale of the catatrophe,whatever that may have been. The concersus of opinion among navy officers at the time waa that she was struck araidship by a 6Udden squall of great power when under full sail, and owing to top heaviness capsized, then quickly sank by reason of her heavy ord nance.

Colonel Bob Ingersoll's predic tion that "the evangelists will 6oon become a thing of the past," haa )roved decidedly prematuie at east so far as St. Louis is concern ed. Sam Jones haa been conducting a scries of remarkable meetings at St. Louis. They are held in the Music Hall which seats over 6,000 people and every night the vast au ditorium is crowded to overflowing. Thousands of people are turned away from almost every meeting and the local papers say that if St. Louis had a hall that . would hold 20,000 people Sam Jones would fill it. WThen Colonel Ingereoll visited St. Louis recently he was met by a challenge from Sam Jones for a joint discussion. Ingereoll promptly and emphatically declined and so the evangelist and the pagan orator spoke on the same evening, but in different places. The contrast iu the crowds which these two speak ers drew was remarkable. "While a few people straggled into the theater where Ingersoll waa to speak, a great mass ol hu manity was making its way to Music Hall. Long before the hour for Sam Jones to appear the 6,000 seats had been taken, all the aisles and every foot of standing room in the great auditorium were occu pied. A great crowd pressed in vain for entrance. It vas said that 20, 000 people came out to hear the evangelist. There were many rows ot vacant chains before lugersoh when he arose to speak and his au dience did not number over five hundred. The evangelist, whose day is passed awa. according to Ingereoll, drew forty people for everyone who went to hear relig ion reviled. It would seem that the blasphe mer is in a iair way to become a thing of the past before the evan gelist. What a pity it is that the loint debate proposed by Sam was reject ed by Bob ! How the Georgia cracker would have made the old man's fur fly ! Atlanta Journal. An Historic Reminder. In reading of the deep indigna tion of the people in regard to the devlish, fraudulent Assignment law, which even the Kads 6wear is bogus and never passed, we are reminded of a trick played by Aaron Burr in the New lork Legislature some ninety years ago perhaps. A bill waa engineered through the Legis lature by him, ono of the ablest and most cunning and base of the men of his time, that was ostensibly a bill to provide pure water for the then rapidly growing little city of New lork. It had in it a para graph to allow certain men to run a bank with certain privileges. He and his special confederates thus got an important "drop" upon the people, but it evoked a great storm of indignation. The Kads of the rred .Douglass gang got the "drop" on the people in many adroit and infernal way6, but the indignation and contempt 1 al 1 11 are deep and potential ana win . r sweep the minions or corruption and despotism and their confeder ates and tools as the storm sweeps the ocean. The people are not to be so trifled with and abused. The mortgage bill is doing more in jury now and is really more afflic tive to the farmers than all the dev iltry of the same lotten Radical thing did in the "good stealing" days of 1S6S-9, as one of the South Carolina rascals referred to the dark days in that State. The whole gang ot "Radicals in North Carolina could not do as much good in a decade if they knew how to try to do good as thev have done evil in his malignant, ignorant, baleful act. Wilmington Messenger. A Chance for Genius. Mr. Morton, secretary of agri culture, makes a suggestion which should stimulate inventive genius. He says one of the great needs of the country is an agricultural im plement which will take the place of the plow and do better work. It ought to be something that will break up the land and turn it over as a man does with a spade. Secre tary Morton thinks such an imple ment could be made. It might be constt ucted in the form of a rotary spader, or an implement consisting of a number of revolving knives which, in passing over the land, would chop up the soil and subsoil for two feet so as to render the percolation of the rainfall easy and perfect to the depth to which the 'round has been stirred. Theadvantagt-8 of such a machine would, of course, be great.

Advertising Rates Reasonable. THE NEW LIGHTING GAS. Acetylene, the Recently Disco v ered Illummant, Which Seems Destined to Revolutionize tne Whole Light System. A few weeks ago we referred to the claims that are made for the newly discovered illuminating gas, called acetylene. A patent haa been issued for this gas and companies are being organized to manufacture it. ihe irniladelpnia papers give glowing accounts of recent cxhibi lions ot" the power of acetylene be fore the franklin Institute of that city. A number of practical scien tists were present and were greatly impressed by the experiments. The Philadelphia Press says : ... "It waa a very startling exhibi tion, as utterly fresh and convincing as good matter in tho bands of a master." could make it. It was un doubtedly a remarkable exhibition 'Tbe product of using together,' says the Press, "in an electrical furn- a co such common materials as It mo and carbon in any suitable form, ws exhibited by Air. Y llson as a grcon isb-gra-, stone-liko substance, great ly resembling a common kind of scrpont rock. U.he -liquefaction ot tho product was fully illustrated, and when tho lecturer applied a light to the gas burners, Philadelphia people saw for the first time in a pablic place tho intensely white, brilliant and sohddooking names ot pure acetylene. jNotuing live it overcame within too ken ot a gas manager or dazzled the vision of a photometrist. Tbero is something startling in the suggestion that gas of 250-candlo power, calculated by pnotometrieal process, upon a basis of consuming five cubic feet por hour, can be burned by means of an open flat burner." Philadelphia coal gas is as good as any in the country and it is claimed that fivo cubic foot of it gives from sixteen to twenty candle power. It appears that one cubic foot of accty lene is eoual in illuminating power to twelve aud a half cubic foot of Philadelphia coal gas. At tho pres ent price of Philadelphia gas, one dollar per thousand, wo are told that tho consumer pays SI 2.50 for lighting power that can be produced by acetylene at a cost of about 25 cents. The Press in its comments on tho exhibition of acetylene in that city says : "In incandescent lighting, one electrical horso power produces ten sixteen candlo power lamps, or 1G0 candlo power per hour, which is equal to 3,840 candle power per twenty-four hours. The same horse power will produce 8,305-candle power of acetyleno gas. Acetylene can bo supplied to consumers in Tquid form. Ono steel tubo four and one-half inches in diameter will hold sixty-nine pounds of acetylene, w'lich will produce 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or a candle power of 12,500 cubic feet of Philadelphia gas, and will supply a bouse of from ten to thirty rooms for three months." Just how far the practical applica tion of this discovery will prove suc cessful it is impossible to say, but quite enough has been demonstrated already to suggest immense possi bilities for acetyleno and to attract much attention to it.

At Madison a gentleman wrote a telegram and gave it to a negro, with instructions to hand the same to tho telegraph operator. The negro delivered it, and said : "Mr. Leak 6ays send dis telum spatch off" immejitlv." The operator told him he would do so as quick aa the wire could carry it. Ab the negro was leaving he spied a paper, which the March breezes had gathered up and were whirling along the wire towards a pole, on wlrch it lodged. He watched the paper for some time and becoming satisfied it could not get away, went back to the office, called the opera tor and 6aid : "Boss, Mistah Leak am in a pow erful hurry 'bout dat bizness." The operator told him the mes sage was already at its destination. But that scrap of paper on the wire had convinced the darkey that the telegram had stalled before it got out of town, and he was determined to let it be known. j "Boss, I ain't gwine to 'spute your word, but you look on dat pole. Dat telumspatch will never git to whar it is gwine 'cept vou send somebody erlong ter knock it ofl'n de poles!" Shouted Xoo Soon, aud Knocked Over aud Spilled all the Com munion Wine.

Just before, or while preparing to celebrate the occasion, ola man Tom Bailey, a good old darkey, be came enthused and got to sh,outiDg.

Mr. Noah Brhjirs, bf Scotland Neck is the man It Shows What can be Done iu North Carolina. Mr. Noah Bigtrs, of Scotland Neck, raised 425 bushels (85 barrels) of corn on four acres. ilis success is phenomenal. It even beats tho 1CD bushels to th3 aero raised by Dr. Ilob't Patterson, of the sarno eounty, on fifteen or twenty acres. It was done by the intensivo method tho method pursued by Mr. Lettlebcrry Manningin raising three bales of cotton on one acre in the same coun ty, Halifax. Mr. Biggs writes to tho Democrat giving his method. Ilo writes this, and it may instruct other farmers how to do: "My land was low, bottom land that had been used as a pasture for eight years. I put tho land in good condition by breaking it several times and thoroughly harrowing it. I then covered tho land with horsa stable manure and broke aDd bar rowod it again. Then I ran off my rows eight feet apart, bedded tho land, and harrowed it again. Then I ran my rows ono foot on either sidoof tho centre, or water furrow?, making the rows two feet apart al ternately. I then planted" my corn 12 to 15 inches to the drill, using 20 J pounds of good guano to tho driil. i hen the corn was large enough 1 "barred it off" on the wide sids, chopped it out and 6ided it up'. I next ran a cotton plow in the car- row, sided it up on the wide, put 200 pounds moro of guano by the corn, split the middle and laid it by when tho corn was shoulder bigb. I planted the willow corn, which makes from 2 to o ears to the stalk. My corn was damaged by tho wind, or I should havo made more." Dr. Patterson planted the ordicary corn. Uood iarmmg can do cone and will pay in North Carolina. Tobaco once paid enormously Sll'D or more to the acre and from S1C0 to $1,200 to tho band for the test coal cured leaf. It pays well yet bat not half what it did from 133 to 1875. Bat there is money in it when the land is rich, the skill is good, the tobacco is fine. Some farm ers still mako 150 or moro to tho acre.
