Rev. Dr A. W. Millfr, who has
lor thirty years been pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at Char
lotte, died Snnday afternoon.
. Next week a mail and passenger
train will lw put on the C. F. & Y. V.

Twenty presidents of State Allian
oes -were in conference with Col.
Polk at Washington last Friday.
The session was a secret one. discus
sing administrative busine.-s. The
State presidents form the Council of
the National president.
The Goldsboro Argus states that
several car loads of negroes left
there Monday to work in the turpen
tine farms of South Carolina and
Georgia. They are being hired by
the hundred by agents from those
Slates, and no arrests have been
made. This is another dead letter
law.
TnE Asheville Gazette announces
the first arrest for selling cigarettes
to minors. A sixteen year old youth
is to appear at the criminal court to
give evidence for the State against a
. merchant for selling him, the youth,
cigarettes, the solicitor having wit
nessed the sale. If this party is not
convicted, the law ought to be re
pealed without delay.
. Mr. Sol Haas, traffic maiiager ol
the Richmond and Danville system,
and a forpier citizen of Wilmington,
says that the South is not as bad otf
as some people say it is. Cotton is
low, but the South has made up for
the loss on cotton by raising ail the
grain and meat it needed. He be
lieved the South owes less money to
day than it owed ten years ago.
The OUio legislature, iu re-electing
John Sherman to the United States
Senate, practically endorses his al
leged nefarious official methods. He
is regarded by the Alliance and la
boring element in this country as
their chief enemv, and would, no
doubt have preferred Satan, himself
Sherman may not be quite as bad as
he is reputed, but there are many
men who have worked hard all their
lives and can barely make a living,
that would be exceedingly glad to
learn how be honestly accumulated &

a Salary of $5,000 a year.

At a meeting of JLbe executive com
mittee of the North Carolina Agri
cultural Society, held at the office of
the president Friday afternoon, it
was resolved to hold the next State
fair from Tuesday the 19th to Friday
the 21st of October, inclusive. There
was an unusually full attendance of
the committee and .a determination
was expressed to make the next
State fair a success in spite of the
depression caused by bad crops last
year. A subcommittee was appoint
ed to., organize a premium list for
field crops for early publication so
that. the farmers may begin to pre
pare for the competition in ample
time. Raleigh Chronicle.
Mr, Speaker Crisp, in his treat
ment of the Hon. Thos. E. Watson,
of Georgia, has shown himself to be
not only a small sized statesman,
but one possessed of a retaliatory
spirit Mr. Watson is the leader of
the Alliance forces in congress, and
is. a; very able advocate. He was
Netted by the Alliance, aud in de
clining to participate in the caucus
which nominated Crisp, he was sim
ply obeying the dictates of his own
conscience and the behests of his
constituents. This, then, is the rea
son the Speaker, in making up the
committees, took especial pains to
place him where he would be of the
letst possible service to the great
cause be represents.
The Charlotte News learns that
Senator Vance's bill for the erection
of a monument to Gen Nathaniel
Greene, on the battle ground of
Guilford court house, will very prob
ably pass without any difficulty.
The bill provides for a monument of
fair size and proportions. The people
of Greensboro owe a great deal to
Judge Schenck. for had it not been
for his enthusiasm, energy and enter
prise, the Guilford Battle Ground
would have been today in the woods.
We hope Senator Vance will have as
little difficulty in securing the pas
sage of a bill for the relief of his
numerous living constituents, which,
by tUs wajr. should have been Intro
dnced ahead of the monument bill.

The most humiliaUug and dis
graceful exhibition of the rotten cor
ru)tion of money politics that ever
blackened the records of the political
history of the country is now pre
sented by the situation in Louisiana.
The party which disgraces the name
of Democracy, has espoused the
cause of the shameless gamblers of
the lottery gang, while the Alliance
and the honest men of the Democrat
ic party have joined hands to defeat
these robbers and to save the State
from shame. God grant them a roost
triumphant victory, is the prayer ofjrience. In other things practice may

The Fikin Courier says that near
Hamptonville, Yadkin county, oi.e
day last week, Mr. Wm. Pardew call
ed at the store of Mr. Gough, and
feeling sick culled fur a dose of
quinine. Mrs. Gough waited on him
and gave him strychnine by mistake.
She soon discovered the mistake and
sent a messenger after him with a
dose of ipecac. When the messenger
reached him, half a mile from the
store, he was lying in the road dead.
When Mis. Gough heard he was dead,
she had spasms and came very near
dying herself.
Blood diseases are terrible on ac
count of their loathsome nature, and
the fact they wreck the constitution
so completely unless the proper anti
dote is applied. B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm) is composed of the true
antidote for blood poison. Its use
never fails to give satisfaction.
Great destruction was. caused by a
cyclone in Alabama and Georgia last

Gov. Holt has commuted the death

The tobacco crop of the transmon

Wilmington Star, has now risen to
great importance. Madison produces

Oil, What si Cough.
Will you heed the warning. The
signal perhaps of the sure approach
of that more terrible disease Con
sumption. Ask yourselves if you can
afford for the sake of saving 50c, to
run the risk and do nothing for it.
We know from experience that Sui
loh's Cure will cure your cough. It
never fails. This explains why more
than a million bottles were sold the
past year. It relieves croup and
whooping cough at once. Mothers,
do not be without it. For lame back,

To Whom It- May Concern.
In 1884 there was a small sore came on
the top of my nose, near the eyes. It
grew so rapidly that I became alarmed,
and my family physician after ti eating it
eight mouths pronounced it Eptheral
cancer and sdvised me to go to Prof.
Richardson, in New Orleans, -which I did
in June, '85. He burnt it off, and I came
home apparently wellvand in about four
weeks it commenced to grow again. Drs
Eaira ahd Morton, of Indianola, twk em
inent physicians tried to stop it ut jt
grew worse all the time; I went to Hot
Springs In August, 18SS, and was treatedj
there by two of the best doctors there,
F.anklin and Blade, and got no relief.
I then wrote to Dr Roebuck at Poutioc,
Miss. lie came and treated me at home,
He done me no good. I then went to
Durant, Miss.; and was treated by Dr
Howortt. I found his treatment was do
ing me na good, and I was told of Dr.
Daniel, of Atkennan, Miss., and acci
dently met him in Durant, but having
been treated so much for no good, I was
about to give up to die, I went from
there to Jackson, Tennessee, and was
treated there by Dr, Duroctus, and I
came home on the first day of August and
was nearly dead. I could not breathe
any through my nose, I told my family
about meetlrg Dr. Daniel in Durant, and
they persuaded me to get him, and my
son-in-law went out for him; and he got
there oa the 9th day of August, 1&S9, this
year, and I am now sound and well, and
to him I owe my life. I feel satisfied I
would have been dead before now. i
thank God that 1 found him, and I feel
as grateful to him as any man can to an
other. Any person that is go unfortunate
to be troubled with the horrible disease
cancer I can fully recommend Dr. j
Daniel. J.L.Stewart.

ON COUGHING.
- V
The Western Recorder says, what
must be done, should be done' well,
and people should learn how to do it.
Since the grippe ha been prevailing
so extensively, we have been impres
sed with the need of people's learning
how to cough well. Everybody has
got a good deal of coughing to do in
life, and it is important that they
know how to do it. Many who cough
much do not seem to learn by expe-
make perfect, but not in coughing.
Some people cough so as to rouse
the neighborhood. They seem to
think it important that the world
slould know that they are coughing.
In church we have seen men throw
t'.eir coughs to the other end of the
house. Sometimes they cough at the
preacher, sometimes at the deacons,
and sometimes at the strangers near
the door. They use their coughs
much as the ancients used catapults.
Others cough in a very pompous man
ner, as if they had a very dist:n
guished cold. They use their cough
as a means of impressing the world
with t sense of their importance.
Indeed, to cough at the proper time;
in the proper place, and in the proper
quantity, may be regarded as a rare
accomplishment. When a man can
not be telling bystanders how distin
guished he is, he can cough bis im
portance at them. Tiiis is often done,
and with marked elTect. We remem
ber, when a child, being deeply im
pressed with the greatness of a man
we heard cough on the street corner.
Some surrender themselves entirely
to the coujjh in utter unconsciousness
of the presence and the nerves of
others. They throw themselves into
the business asif to say, "This one
thing I do." Cough follows cough in
rapid procession, large and small,
loud and low, hacking and throat-splitting.-
Sometimes they get greatly
excited in the business; their faces
turn red, their tears come, and they
go througli sundry antics, showing
most intense excitement. They seem
to regard coughing a3 the most im
portant thing that can possibly
engage their attention.
Others cough in a barking fashion,
which makes others want to cough
too, and is very annoying to those
who sit near them in church. It is
surprising how much disagreeableness
can be eempressed Into a cough.
Some persons, who have coughs, stay
away from church lest thejr should
disturb others. They had better go
along, and then regulate the cough
according to principles of good taste.
Some coughs are perfectly elegant,
and so far from disturbing others, are
really quite soothing in their effect.
We know a lady whose cough, like
all else about her, is charming.
There are those who explode when
they cough, so that instinctively one
looks around to see the pieces, and
wonders that the couguer still holds
together. Others cough as if they
were ashamed of it, as though theie
were any disgiace in having a cold.
Praj, have not the greatest men and
women in the world had colds ?
We will not venture to suggest any
remedy for coughs; the world can
scarcely get along with the numerous
remedies now offered. Just get on a
train and go to the next town, and
on the fences, walls, roofs and rocks,
you will see enough cough cures ad
vertised to tax the strongest memory
to recollect them. We say onhy,
since all.Mn the course of their lives,
have a great deal of coughing to do,
that it were well for all to learn. how.
to cough to the best advantage.
What has to be done, should be done
well. That a great reform in cough
ing is needed, none will dare deny.
Our Presidents-
It is a remarkable fact, says the
Garnett Agitator, that the people,
without kpowing it, have elected men
for presidents since Lincoln who in
variably did, and do, the bidding of
the London and New York money
power. President Grant signed the
crcdjt strengthening act. and the act
demonetizing silyer.'President Hayes
vetoed a bill reducing the rate of
interest on national bonds. Presi
dent Garfield ridiculed the "rag baby"
of the greenbackers. President Cleve
land used his utmost influence to
baye congress discontinue the coin
age of silver. President Harrison
declares that if congress passes a
fret coinage of silver act, he will veto
it. The money power nover sleeps.
If it is able :o. it usually names both
the nominees of the old parties, and
let the contestants fight for the offices.
If by any chance any man should be
nominated, not friendly, he is sure to
be beaten. The ring trickster is in
the secret. The people are in the
dark. One presi
ident is just as good i
as any other president. The moiey
I power own them all, and ownin
them will effectually block any good
money legislation.
North Qarolina's. Position-;
In point of latitude. North Carolina
occupies a middle ground between
the semi tropical States of the South
and the colder regions of the North,
so that she is not only enabled to
produce the fruits and vegetables- of
one section side by side with thos of
the other, but her native forests com
bine the stately pines and balsamsiof
the North with the cypress and the
magnolias of the South. Again,
within her borders aie embraced the
lowlands of the waiter and the high
est paks of1 the Atlantic s!ope.)r-
! Again, in a geological point of View,
within her territory Embraced every
strata and formation known in . geol
ogy." and these give character to the
soil. We have in No'rth Carolina the
climate and soil suitable to the growth
of every tree known to the forestry
of North America; and it is the fa
vorable location and the native forest
trees and the forestry of North Caro
lina that we will depend upon for the
material development and future
prosperity of our State.- Ex. .';
