What bank would not dismiss. in dis grace a cashier for embezzzling one dollar as quick as io: one thousand? The matron says that she raised and gave to Dr. Giissom some of the turkeys that lie ussd. We would like to know what sho ted those tur keys with. We think the an swer could be found in a hole in tiie Asylum s.ranary in North Car o'ina. But we pass by this e, tor possibly the Super iutendant thought he had i ri.ht to so use the State's pro;-: eity. The next charge, viz: Cruelty and inhumane treatment of pa tient?.

We are not only nurprined but shocked that the "great, good, kind and human father to the insane," should have m treated poor, pitiable, ir. espor sible, reason-bereft, God-blighted specimen-. 5t humanity, who knew not what they did. How could such a man get powerful angjy with and curse such poo: help loss t h i ngs ? C i n i t bo that the cunning eyes of the insane had seen something improper and knew no better than to let the tongue give words to what the ye had seen ? Dots this ex plain the powerful fit of anger? i'hit we pass over these two charges and go to the third and last. The one (which if true) would make him specially unfit fo:- his important and sa cred trust, viz : imoroner and immoral conduct toward certain females. We can give none of the shocking evidence on this charge and keep Thk Caucasian the clean chaste pape" it has al ways been, at all times fit to be read around the iamily fireside of its subscribers However, Dr Grissoui dmiies all these charges, but admits that he did kiss another man's wife in his privato office through sympathy. This woman was young and beautiful, though in needy cir cumstances. It seems to us that a bank note would have been a more substantial and proper kind of sympathy in such a case.1 ISul the Hoard of Directors have! acquitted the accused, but the higher tribunal to who we re ferred last week has not acquit ted and will not. The nature of this charge and the testimony supporting it has been such as leave at least a great and terri- ulo doubt in the 'minds of the people of North Carolina. A doubt such that no manuf high spirit and true Southern chivalry could be satisfied to entrust those that are nearest and dearest to him in that institution with that mail in charge. In the lajuguage of Col. Waddell : "Surely, surely, if there was one institution in our State where tiie people had a right to expect to find a pure, and humane administration; if there was, within f.ll her wide borders, one spot where they might justly hone to sec prevailing the vir tues which have elevated and enno bled our race, it was here, where by awful contrast, God's lesson oi re sDousibilitv is hourly tausrht. But those who have so trusted and they were the great body of the people have been rudely awakened to a real ization of the tact that even in this sanctuary of the alllicted, the trail of the eipent has been made, and that it.s chosen High Priest lo who should have been its faithful ccrvit or and guardian has yielded to the temper and done grievous wrong to tnenijto this asylum, and himself.' Yes, the High Priest must step down and out. His useful ness in tl-at position is forever destroyed. "A LOT Or THINKING." The Manufacturers' Record, the largest industrial paper in American, and one which is de voted almost exclusively to Southern development, has tl e following pointer in last week's issue : Northern newspapers are begin ning to ope i their eyes to the steady progress of the South in industrial development. She recent agree inent lo place a contract for 3,000, 000 yards of cotton bagging by the Georgia Alliance witii Georgia and Louisiana mills has caused severa Northern papers to make editorial comment. In reference to this-con tract the Philadelphia Telegraph asks : " hero nas u me Alliance gone for. that considerable quantity of goods ? To the New England mill ? JSot at all. It might have done so once, and not so very long ago, nut now it lias no need to do, so. The c ontracts were given to mills in Lou isiana and Georgia, and the incident is very completely illustrative of the many radical changes which have taken place in one of our leading in dustries. The South lias no longer an need to divide an important part of its revenues with the cotton spinners of Massachusetts and Ithode Islaud. It does its own work "and keeps its money at home. The in cident will bear a lot of thinking.', Tlusu who wish to know what good the Alliance has done or cau do, let him read the above paragraph and find a part of the answer. THK EXCAMPMKXT. IT ENDS AND THE HOYS SET OUT KOIi HOME. A Pleasant Stay by the Sea Side- (Stan Cor. Thk Caucasia x. After nine pleasantly and profitably spent cays by the seaside, North Carolina's soldier boys have broken camp and gone their ways home. There were about 1200 of them in camp, some having come fiom thej-emotest parts of the state to enjoy the delightful sea breezes and invigorating surf as well 4s to receive nnlitary schooling. Considering the ear ly day at which the Encamp ment came on this think the number of camped was as large year, we men en as could be expected. The 3rd Kegiment was the smallest this year, but it is on ly justice to say here that all most, if not quite all the 3rd is composed of men living in the tobacco region and; at this time for tobacco growers to neglect their crops even for a few days means a severe loss. For this reason many who would have come later were compelled to remain at home. This was the case to some extent in other Kegiments and the Encamp ment by all means should come later hereafter; The Maxton Guards arrived on Monday of the last week of the Encampment and were met at the depot by a detachment of four men fiom each company of tiie 2nd regiment and escort ed to their quarters. Captain Hlack brought : men in ranks and his company made a fine appearance. On Tuesday the companies of the 2nd Regiment and two (Durham and Greensboro) of he ord engaged in a competi tive target shooting. Some ex cellent shooting was done, dis tance 200 yards and 35 points the highest possible to be scor ed by each individual and 125 by each team. The following is the score made by each team of five men from each company: Wilmington Eight Infantrj, G8; Feyetteville 95; 65; 53; 68; Scotland Neck Cavalry Durham Light Infantry, Maxton Guards, Guilford Grays, 72; 95; Lumber LVidge L. I., Sampson " - 76 There were three prizes. One for best company shooting, one tor 2nd best company shooting and one for best individual shot On the first round the Fayette- ville and Lumber Bridge com panies tied, both making a score of 95, and Sergt. Pcmberton.of Fayetteville, Hall of Lumber Bridge and Sergt. Owen of Sampson tied on the individual score each making 21. The lat ter tie was fiirst shot off and re sulted in a hard won victory for Mr. Pemberton by a score of 22 lb Mr. Hall's 2.'. leaving his rec ord as the best shot in the slate uubroken The company tie was next slot off and resulted in a vici ry for the Lumber Bridge team, giving them the honor of being the first tftam to beat that of the F. I. L. I. The score stood 98 to 97. This was a close con test uid shows that the 2nd Regiment contains some fine marksmen. If tbere had been a third com pany prize it would heve bpen won by the Clinton team, which made a score of 76, good, indeed, for a team that has had com paratively no practice. Our team with a reasonable amount of practice would compare fa vorably with any in the State Guard. The boys of Co. F were glad to welcome Capt. W. L. Faison in camp Tuesday. Prior to the arrival of Capt. Faison Lieut. T. H. Part'rick commanded Co. F. Lieut. Matt 11. Peterson, U. S. A., was in camp .with the boys occasionly during the day. lie filled thp place of Adjutant Leak of the 3rd Regiment on Tuesday and Wednesday while Mr. Leak was in Clinton attend ing the marriage of his friend, Mr. Duucan DeVane to, Miss Berta Bizzell. 4 The ordy accident of auy con sequence that happened during the Encampment was the acoi dental shooting of Walter Car son of Co.

SOAP AXl STAKCH It IKS. FACTO- Why Nut Have One or Ilotlt in Clinton V They AVoald Ycld ft Profit and tiive a Market for ltosin and Sweet Potatoes. The Manufacturer's Ilecord of the 13th instant contains the following, which every business man South should read and con sider : , We have often wondered why soap making hai not been made an important Southern industry. Noth ing Is aed more generally or con sumed more rapidly. In slavery days when there was a leach ery on every plantation, laundry soap was a domestic production. Now the stores carry large stocks obtained from Chicago, New York and other Northern cities. The South, served as a rule by wasteful negro laund resses, is paying a heavy tribute to Northern manufacturers, while furnishing them the rosin and cotton seed oil of which, they, make large use. We have, seen boxes of cheap soap containing a large iercentage of rosin heaped up in wholesale stores in the Southern commercial centers, when we couui not hml a single bar made below the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Soap making, both for the laundry and the toilet can be and ought to be a great Southern industry. While in Chicago several years ago, we were visiting an extensive job printing house. There we saw two dray loads ot labels sent to a local soap maker. On niuiry we learned that the average monthly bill for labels paid thatpnntmg house by this one concern exceeded ? 1,500 This led to a visit to the soap factory, where we found that they consumed from 12,000 to 15,000 barrels of rosin and nually. Thns North Carolina and Georgia turpen tine distillers are supplying, at an infinitesimal profit to thetnselees, a material that, after having added to it commissions, wharfages and freights to Chicago; comes back in soap, to which the make's profits, the freight charges and the jobbers' md retail merchants' profits are added, and bouthern consumers pay all these unnecessary bills. Surely soap lactones will pay, and yet in fourteen States, in the last three months but two new one-i have been started. -Where is all the starch used m Southern laundries made? Go where vou will and you will find none but Northern makers' names on the pack ages in the grocery stores. And yet, if chemists tell the truth, the sweet potato will yield as large a percentage ef starch as corn, and the yield of Carolina and Georgia lie Ids often average several hundred bushels to the acre. We might continue these illustra , tions indefinitely. The South abounas 1 in materials for the establishme it of profitable industries that require but little capital to eommencc,but that can be worked up into immense con cerns by economic, diligent and pei ' severing work. Any merchant in Clin ion could make more money by tak ing his capital out of the mer cantile business and starting uch factories. The manufac turer is the man who makes the profit. Then think, too, ot what a benefit to the town such an en terprise would be lti:V. A. 15. AL.OHUMAN.

New. York: Herald IX THE WEST. . SAMPSON BOY ORGANIZES ALLIANCES IN CLEVE LAND, SWAIN, HENDER SON, CHEROKEE AND BUNCOMBE, A DescriDtion of What He Has Seen. - V Heard and Done. Dear Feiesd axd Editor : I have not forgotten the promise made you sometime since, but fj writing for the public print i j altogether out of my line of business, it lias been no small task for nie to perform. Jast ene year aco to-dav. I left rav home and friends in old Samp son county, since which time T have beeniu the "hill country" of Western North Carolina with the exception of three weefcs, I spent with you and other east ern friends last winter. . Believing I would like the mountains I obtained a commis sion from President Alexander aud Secretary Polk to organize Farmers' Alliance. On the 2nd of July, 1888, I left for Cleve land to engage in this new field of labor, where" I spent about two months and organized twen ty-two sub-Alliances, and a flour isning uounty Alliance ol as clever and industrious a people as can be found anywhere. The country is generally pretty level, laying on the eastern side, and at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. The soil is fertile and the farmers pronuce mainly corn, cotton and wheat. Shelby is the county seat, and is a love ly town of about 2,000 inhabi tants, The noted and historic King's Mountains and Cleveland White Sulphur Springs are both favorite resorts for visitors from the East and South . From here I went across the Blue Ridge to the "State of Buncombe," in the heart of th "Land of the Sky." I began the work of organizing in November, but this being new to the people up here very little progress was made until in Feb ruary of this year when the or ganization was completed now numbering thixty-two subordin ate ?ud a County Alliance of the best farmers of this country. Buncombe is a large and thick ly populated county and is quite rolling, but produces excellent corn, wheat, tobacco, cabbage, potatoes, fruits, also ijrass and clover, which is king in the mountains. In Asheville is found the best market in the State for all farm and garden products. Asheville, as nour readers wen Know, is known as the metropolis of the West, and indeed it is the most progressive city we nave ever visited. Within tha past few years it hps grown to 10,000 or 12,000 population, and in less than a decade it will be second o only a few of the Southern cities: Its several railroads, electric street cars, electric and gas lights, large and magnificent factories, stores, colleges. &c, all add to the prosperity, in a commercial sense, and the pure water, bracing atmosphere, pic turesque mountain scenery, at tracts thousands of visitors and invalids from every source to it, magnificent hotels and sanita riums. From Asheville I went to Hen derson, which borders on the south of Buncombe, and which is about the same altitude 2,000 to 25,000 feet above sea level, and soil is productive of about the same crops I organized twenty subordinate and a Coun ty Alliance. Hendersouville is the county-seat and a beautiful and healthy resort of lJOJ in habitants. One of the most de lightful and attractive places in the county is Flat Rock, a little village built up by wealthy South Carolina planters. The huge rock from which the place derived its name, is near by, and rears its lofty head into the air nearlv 1.000 feet. Tourists sel dom comes to the county with out visiting this rock. From here, in company with W. F. Tomlinson, editor of the Asheville Country Home, which is: by the way, one of the best agricultural papers published in the State, I went to Haywood county, which lies on the west ern borders of Buncombe and is the highest county in the west : however it is no less pro ductive than her sister counties. For grass, clover, stock and fruit it is especially noted. Corn, wheat and tobacco grow well on the table lands, to say. nothing of the fertile river bottoms Owing to the busy season we only organized a few Alliances, but th9 county has . been . since worked by Mr. Tomlinson Waynesville is a town of about 1,000 inhabitants, tut the most attractive place is the JL HaywiKd White Sulphur Spring, which is visited annually by hundreds of invalids and pleas ure seekers. Pisirah and the Balsam are among the noted mountains. From lire I wei.t to Chero kee, an extreme western county, that borders on the north Geor gia State line, with Murphy as its capitol. The chief products here are corn and wheat ; also minerals abound. The twenty six miles of the valley river bot toms are the most fertile the writer has ever seen. In this valley tho farmers are prosper ous, but in the larger portion of the county the people axe less cultured and progressive than where I have formerly visited. I organized eleven Subordinate and a County Alliance. After leaving this county, on my return, 1 spent a few days in Swain county and assisted Mr. Tomliiuou in tho onrauiza- tion ef the County Alliance at the Courthouse In Bryson City, Of Swain I did not learn so much, but it has a good people and productive farm lands es pecially the excellent river bot toms on the Tuckaseegee Nanta- hala, Tenuessee rivers, an' Oco- na, Luftra and Daep creeks as any county in the State. The farmers here are equally enthu- siastio over the Alliance. Upon the whole my visit in this sec- tion has been a f ource of great pleasure, notwithstanding the great inconvenience of traveling over these rugged mountains, to which a "sand lapper" isnotac- customed, and work organizing about one hundred Alliance, The people, even from the wealthiest and most highly ed ucated down to the uncivilized Indians, have treated me with every act of kindness that could be desired, and I can assure them that their hospitalities will nev- er be forgotten. But for fear of consuming too much space in The Caucasian, which is a most valuable visitor every week, I could relate much more of my experience and what I have enjoyed in this portion of the "Good Old North State." Before 1 close I must say the armers of this section are very much interested in the Allianoo movement. All the counties, with the ex ception of two have been organ ized, and thev will be at an early date. They are ready to co-operate with the Alliances of the east in any measures that will be for the promotion of the agricultural interest. I will go from here to Morgan Hill, in the northern portion of his county, where I will rest or a lew wee ts ana enjoy me excellent mountain breeze, and where extreme heat and mus- quitoes are unknown.
