DIDN'T HAVE ANY USUAL BRAND
How a Country Cousin Made Miserable a
Newly Made Man About Town.
When an adaptive young man from
the far corner of somp -New England
or western state lives! for a time in
New York, and absorbs' enough of its
atmosphere to gain the prestige of a
regular boulevardier it's pretty hard
now and again to have old times thrust
upon him in the person of a primitive
cousin or brother-in-law, wnom he is
bound in conscience to entertain. A
case of this kind ' occurred last week,
in which the artless relative saw noth
ing but a screamingly funny lapse of
memory, while the; man about town
found" a mortification j therein which
was pretty hard to live through.
A complete deliverance of the bump
kin into the hands of the outfitter made
him presentable, and then there was
the little 'bachelor dinner at a Pifth
avenue hotel given : by the swell to all
the smart -men, who wanted "to meet
your cousin, don't you know."
AH went , merry until the wine list
came forth. To be sure, the bumpkin
talked too loud and refused to under
stand any monitory wink, but then he
said nothing too badly out of place.
""What wine will you! have?" said the
cousin, addressing him.
"Ilaw! haw! I" don't know, Cousin
Dick, anything about the wine. Youll
have to settle that yourself."
"Shall we begin on a bottle of Sau
terne?" . j
"Lordy, how can I tell! Anything
you like!" shouted the red-cheeked,
bullet-headed youth, who couldn't
make head or tail of the winks and
looks of deadly warning emanating
from the swrell's eye.
People at adjoining tables pricked up
their ears in amused curioeity, while
the guests at the table looked a trifle
disconcerted at the bumpkin's noise.
"What," said the 'swell, firmly plant
ing his" index finger; on the word
"Medoc," and glaring at the youth
mesmerically, so that he might under
stand and repeat it, "do you generally
take?" , !
"Usually!" shouted the youth. "Haw!
Haw! Hawl Isn't that great? Usual
ly nothing. Of course;; never see wine.
How could I? You know t'aat, Cousin
Dick, as well as I do. You never saw
wine at home, and now New York
makes you forget all about it. Usually
Haw! Haw!" and the terrible youth
stretched out at full length and roared
satisfactorily for about five minutes,
while a sense 'of frozenness stole over
his cousin and the swells looked on in
amused pity. j

GERMAN SHIP CANAL
AMERICAN WARSHIPS ADMIRED.
The Biggest Crowd Ever Assembled
in that Part of the Country.
A dispatch to the Charlotte Observer,
dated Thursday, thus describes the
opening of the -wonderful German
Ship canal at Kiel, Germany:
With imperial pomp and ceremoney
and amid the plaudits of thousands
upon thousands of people, the great
canal connecting the Baltic and North.
Seas was opened to commence today.
The weather was perfect, and the in
auguration ceremony was highly i suc
cessful, save in one particular,1- the
grounding in the canal of the North
German Lloyd steamer, Kaiser Wil
helm II.., one of the vessels that took
part in the naVal parade. She took
bottom near Lovensau, near the east
ern extremity of the canal, but she
got off without damage. At 3 o'clock
Thursday? morniug the dispatch
boat Griih?, entered ihe lock at liruns
buttel, the western extremity of the
canal, and went through as a scout,
examining , the bariks and locks and
takinp soundings in order to prevent, if
possible, the occurrence of an accident
when, the great parade navigated the
canal to Kiel. .
Long before the hour set for the start
ing of the parade, every available space
along the river front was pre-empted
by eager crowds, all anxious to see the
Emperor, German Princes, and other
royal personages, than which a larger
gathering has never been seen in this
part of the empire. The scene, as the
Emperor and fou of his eldest sons
drove along the river front last evening
to embark on the imperial yacht, Ho
henzollern, was one to be long remem
bered. Everything capable of being
decorated bore masses of flags and vari
colored bunting, and the crowd, filled
with holiday fervor, cheered incessant
ly as the Emperor and Princes passed.
The .Hohenzollern passed into the
western water gate at 3:45 o'clock this
morning. As she passed into the canal,
the entrance to which was crowded at
every point, a salute was fired by a
park of artillery stationed a little dis
tance from the entrance to the lock,
while the soldiery, composed of cavalry,
infantry and pioneers, lining both
banks, presented arms. At the same
time a military band played the German
national anthem.
The approaches were crowded with
military students, visitors and residents
of the vicinity, who cheered loudly.
The Emperor was on deck, and he bow
ed in response to the ovation he receiv
ed, exhibiting much emotion.
The Hohenzollern at4 o'clock cut the
thread which had been stretched across
the entrance, to. the. canal, and beean
her passage through to Kiel, the bands
on shore playing national airs and the
crowds cheering. The other vessels in
the procession followed in this order:
The yacht Kaiser Adler, having on
board Prince Luitpold, Regent of Bava
ria,. the King of Saxony, the King of
Wurtembure and Grand Duke Alexis
of Russia. Then came the North-German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II
with the German Princes and the for
eign ambassadors and ministers; . the
Lensahn, with the Duke of Oldenburg;
the British royal yacht Osborne, with
the Duke of York, representing Queen
Victoria; the Italian royal yacht Savoa,
with the Duke of Genoa, representing
King Humbert; the Austrian torpedo
catcher, Trabant, " with Archduke
Charles Stephen, representing Emperor
Francis Joseph; the Hamburg-American
Line steamer Augusta Victoria,
with the members of the Bundesrath
and of the diplomatic corps; the same
line's steamer Columbia, with members
of the Reichstag; the North German
Lloyd steamer Strave, also with mem
bers of the Reichstag, and the Prussian
Landtag, and the Hambure-American
line steamer Rhaetia with members of
the Reichstag and Landtag.
The warships steamed through in this
order:
Grille, Arethus, Surfer, Grosiastchy,
Marques de Ensenade, Edda, Viking,
Marblehead, Mircea, Hecla, Alkamar.
The rear of the procession was brought
up by the Turkish yacht Fevaid. ;
At 10:30 o'clock at night everyone
who was expected to go through the
canal on the American cruiser, Marble
head, was on board that vessel, though
she did not leave her berth until this
morning. Among those on board were
Admiral Kirkland and staff, Captain
Evans, Captain 'Shepard, the lieuten
ants, ensigns and marine officers from
each ship of the American squadron,
the Rev. Mr. Tripp, chaplain of the
cruiser San Francisco; Mrs. Louis H.
Moore, representing the United Press,
and the fleet surgeon and fleet pay-,
master. The Marblehead sailed slowly
down the Elbe and anchored at Bruns
buttel at 6 o'clock, awaiting her turn to
go into the canal.
The Marblehead is very popular, ow
ing to the fact that her officers have
shown every possible courtesy to visit
ors, and she was cheered last evening
by the occupants of hundreds of steam
and eleotric launches and thousands of
people on shore.
At 11:30 p. m. the Hohenzollern was
in sight of the Hoitenau locks at the
east end of the canal. The immense
crowd of people who had assembled on
the Hoitenau festplatz, to witness the
spectacle, set up a nilghty cheer as the
imperial yacht sras sighted. Five min
utes later she had steamed up to the
locks, which she entered at 12:35. The
Emperor stood up on the high bridge,
behind the main mast, attired in the
full uniform of an admiral of the Ger
man navy, suggesting the well-known
picture, "Wiife full steam ahead." The
bands of the regular and veteran troops
struck up "Heil der riegerkranz,"
which the Kaiser acknowledged by a
salute. v
At 12:10 all of the ships in the bay
fired an imperial salute. It was a grand
spectacle. On each side of the lock
was drawn up a company of the First
Foot Guards of Potsdam, with a band,
and a company of the Kaiser Flensburg
Regiment were lined on the north shore,
in front of the harbor officers, with the
marine band. The admirals and gen
erals stood upon fhe centre rampart
which divides the sections of the lock.
The immense crowds kept up con
tinuous rfieerings as the Honenzollern
passed through and went -to her an
chorage, followed by the Kaiser Alder.

DISPENSARY "IGURES.
The I'roiit Consists of Stock on
Hand,
The quarterly report of the opera
tions of the South Carolina Statedis
pensary Las been summarized in the
report of the Legislative committee
that has already been published, but
come additional -aud interesting facts
are given in the report to the St.te
Board of Control by Commi-f-ioner
.Mixon and his expert bookkeeper, Mr.
Scruggs. Mr. Mixon reviews Mr.
Traxler's report andsays:
"The error in arriving at the profit was
made by computing the State's profit on
goods remaining unsold in the bunds of the
various county dispenser?.
A vast and inconceivable amount of work,,
in the shape of overhauling the books of the
State dispensary from the beginning of oper
ations to the close of the last quarter, was
necessary, in order to present an intelligible,
comprehensive and business-like report to
your honorable board at the close of this
quarter. And when you take into consider
ation the fact that I had the undivided time
of my present chief bookkeeper for only the
last month of the quarter in the prosecution
of this work, I feel confident t'uat you will
conclude that the amount ot work accom
plished is immense. As before stated, I am
now turning my attention to an adjustment
of the disputed balances which my predeces
sor claiiped was due by the various county
dispensers when he turned over the business
to me on February 1, and hope to be in a po
sition by the close of tbe summer to report
a complete and satisfactory adjustment of
the tame, it is a work that requires
painstaking care; and you can gather an ad
equate idea of the largeness of the field to be
V .-TT : adjustment
when you are reminded that in every item
in detail of each county dispensary must be
examined into since the beginning of opera
tions of the dispensary.' ,
Mr. Mixson approves the work of
the teceut Legislative Committee, who
examined the books and closes by say
ing. - ; '
"Despite the fierce and relentless warfare
so constantly and vigorously waged against
the dispensary by its implacable enemies, it
lias withstood the ordeal well and has come
forth from each conflict stronger and more
vigorous. It is rap;idly gaining in financial
strength, and by the close of my first year's
service as commissioner I hope to see every
obligation incurred liquidated, the Legisla
tive appropriation of 50,000 refunded to the
State and every future financial transaction
conducted upon a cash basis.
After paying all indebtedness incurred
from the beginning of operations to the
close of the quarter ending 31st of January
last (eighteen months) the balance of cash to
the credit of the dispensary was $9,453 37.
The total indebtedness unpaid from the be-;
ginning of operations to the close of my
firlt quarter (April 30) is 144,033 95. The
cash in the State Treasury to the credit of
the dispensary $75,523 75, making a balance
of cash on hand, after paying all incurred
indebtedness of 31.489 80.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK HOPEFUL.
There Can Be No Possibility of a Set
Back at This Time. Crop Reports
Encouraging.
R. G. Dun's report for the past week says:
Failures for the second week of Jane show
liabilities of only $2,092,382, of which $702,
357 were manufacturing and $1,329,625 were
trading; against $2,917,535 in all for the same
week last year, of which $688,137 -i were
manufacturing and $2,220,766 were trading.
Additions for the first week of Jane raise the
aggregate for two weeks, including the cor
dage concern, to $14,321,841, of which $10,
517,325 were manufacturing and $3,684,116
were trading. Failures for the week have
been 228 in the United States, against 214
last year, and 31 in Canada against 25 last
year.
He who sees a set-back in business at this
' time must be gazing through a telescope
pointed by mistake at some other country.
From all parts of theTJnited States the best
adv.'ces obtainable tell of a rising tide of
trade and industry, which threatens here and
there to mount too far and too fast. The,
volume of all business is by no means equal'
to that of 1892 a3 yet, though in some impor
tant branches larger thaa in that of any
Other year.
Notwithstanding the reaction in the price
of cotton, cotton goods in some instances are
higher, with the market quiet, and likely to
remain so until after July 4th.
Excepting heavy rains in Texa3, corn crop
reports this week have been highly encourag
ing. Future injury to cotton cannot be pre
dicted, but as yet nothing indicates a yield
below 7,500,000 bales, which would not be
supposed to threaten famine If the jcomjmer
cial and mill Mocts were iciuciuutiv,
exceeding 2.500,000 bales, a full consumption
until September 1st. Receipts continue small
and the consumption close to the maximum
here and abroad, though the marketing of
British goods is not entirely encouraging.
Liberal purchases of ail products by the
South do not indicate belief that any serious
misfortune impends. So the strong trade in
grain-growing Staies accords with brighter
crop prospects.
In the Southern States business continues
at about midsummer proportions, with im
provement in dry goods and groceries, at
Chattanooga and Atlanta, a better feeling
in trade circles at Birmingham, and only a

names of members of committees. Willie
this was bating done, tha coming fight on the
sUver question wxs foreshadowed by a motion
made bv H. Clay Evans, of Tanuessee, that
all resolutions be referred to the committee
on resolutions without debate. This was
adopted and th convention aljourned for!
the day.
On the committee on resolutions are the
following : Georgia, A. E. Buell; Louisiana,
William Pitt Xello-rg ; Txas, U. F. Me

Nothing of importance was a joomplisned
at the second days session of the Republican
league club convention. Every description
of resolutions was offered, but the convene
tion, after some dujcuslon, voted not to con
sider them, aud ihe cojvention adjourned
for the day. " j
There was nothing ex'itiog about tbe
closing day's proceediugsof the eighth annual
convention of tho national league of Repute
Jican clubs. Tje resolutions were adopted
without prtface by thoir introducer or parley
on the part of those for whose consideration
they were Introduced. No roll call was had
on their adoption and n lusty chorus of yeas
against one or two nays showed that it was
almost the unanimous sense of the conven
tion that it had no power to proclaim its pre
ference for gold or sdver, for protection or
free trade, or for any presidential candidate
who is pushiug hU claims for recognition
defore the nominating convention of the
party to be held in 1896. I
With the exception of the 16 to 1 men, the
speakers were very cautious in expressing a
decided preference on the currency question J"
None of the presidential candidates Were at
the conventlou. After some routine buslaess
the convention adjourned sine die.
WASHINGTON L&VrKil.
Cleveland's Aspirations A Free SI1
ver Secret Society Chartered.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Political sensations are not every day 034
currences in 'WasbJrigton at thia season of
the year, but one of the first magnitude
has followed the statement of a member of
the Cabinet, th.it President Cleveland t
garded it as certain that the repnblican an i
democratic parties would both split on th-i
silver questiou and that the next campaign
. 1 t f.ul. Dalola ah . fbaf a.n.1
that all past differences would b j forgotten,
and the members of all parties' would line u
as silver or gold men and not as republican
democrats and populists. I1 1 further stated
that President Cleveland considered him
self the logical candidate of the gold party
aud .believed that he would be- nominated
and elected. This view of the situation has
been taken by,other. but this is th9 first
time that it has been autheritively stated as
President Cleveland's view of it. The sil
ver men say they would ask nothing better
than a flht on that line against M. Cleve
land,' who they regard as their arch enemy.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is president of
a stock company which ha been chartered J
under the laws of Virginia, under the name,
stated in the application for cha-tc, I cl ig
to establish a secret s-yiety for the purp se
ofseekingto secure legislation prov.d ng
for.the free coinage of silver in the U. 8. and
to make silver a legal tt-nder for all debts,
public and private.
Representative elect SVInni. of North
Carolina, who is at present in Washington,
has been thinking about next year and as a
result says: "A good many people harts not
stopped to consider that the two-tbirds
1 ule in the democratic National convention
will put an effec'.u.d chx'k to" the nomina
tion of a free silver candidate, and as a two
thirds vote for free silver cannot be obtained
It is idle to expect the democracy to adopt
a free coinage plank-or nominate a free
coinage man. The democrats, therefore,
cannot and the republicans will not declare
for the white metal, and so the friends Of
silver will have no recou rse but to Lecome
populists.
THE OUTLOOK FOR RICE.
Prospects Promising for the Marketing
of the New Crop. j
Dan Talmage's Sons have issued the fol
lowing ric3 crop bulletin:
North Carolina Acreage reduced; tile
water scarcely two thirds; upland one-half
average and crop generally late.
South Carolina E irly plantings on Coop
er, Combahee and Pon-ron rivers well ad
vanced and in fine condition : acreage
slightly more, than last season. Weather
during the past two weeks favorable for
late planting. Georgetown district baeken
ed by high water; swding completed, bat
not in satisfactory manner, ground too wet
and soft. Acreage hardly equal to lart year,
but with improved seed a superior crop ex
pected, i I
Georgia Encouraging results derived
from last year have permitted and stimulated
the culture. Crop in healty condition. In
some sections rain needed, particularly On
the late planting, but as yet no complaints
of any set-backs to the plant. If tbe season
proves favorable outcome - will be much
heavier than last season. -!
Louisiana The crop as an entirety In
river parishes suffering greatly from low
(Mississippi) river, and somi crops already
abandoned. In the southwest (Calcasieu
district) every prospect most encouraging,
giving promise to splendid outcome In
quantity and quality. Under favoring con
ditions product should be quite equal, if not
in excess, of the banner year. 1892. As a
rule the season is declared the best in six
years. Fertilizers are be in ? used to a con
siderable extent by large farmers. Wherever
tried good results are reported, growth
quickened, yield increased. Practically no
rough carried over, hence that depressing
feature will be absent when the market opens.
