Wo have been asked to ex plain the cause of cyclones. The following is the generally ac cepted theory: The ordinary cyclone is formed by the meet ing of two currents of air, one cold and the other hot. The cold current comes generally from the northwest and the hoi current from the southwest. Bv reason of the meeting there is an upward rush of air and the conjoined currents move on ward witli a spiral motion and in a direction which is usually a compromise bet.veen the two original directions. Therefore these storms most frequently rush eastward, governed more or less by the stronger of the two currents. The tornado wears itself out in a comparatively short time by the rapid cooling of the 1 eated column of air. Its path is narrow, not more than half a mile in width, and the great black cloud of wind bounds over the earth as if it Were a huge rubber ball. Sometimes it jumps forward, skipping places that lie directly in its path. Natural objects deflect it or help to dissipate it. The sad announcement of the death of Hon. SamT Randall appears in another column. The country suffers a great loss and his place in Congress, we fear, will long remain unfilled.

Wo oiler this column to our readers iu which to discuss topics of intcrt-nttind irotit to them THE MOXETIZATION OF LAND. A New anil Safe Edition of Fre? Bank ing An Ideal Currency. I5Y F. R. COOPER. NO. 2. Mr. Editor: Of all the ovils that afflict the industrial classes this country the greatest is our national banking system. Pre vious to 1300 we hand what is known as free banking. The system was briefly this. Any persons who so desired could form themselves into a bank. They were required to keep on deposit as a Kecurily for (he redemption of their notes one dollar in coin for every three dollars in notes issued br them. Money was cheap and could be easily obtained upon reasonable security. The couniry was ex ceedingly prosx)erous. The de fect in the system Avas the organization of may wild-cat banks and a lack of safety. It otten happened thai the bank ailed and its notes became worthless, then creating a feei ng of insecurity. Such a cur- ency lacked one desirable ele ment safety, cannot this be remedied and the princiDle of ree banking with its many good features preserved? Sup pose we had free ban kirn: and company should be formed in Clinton with a capitol of one lundred thoasand dollars. Now et them invest that capitol iu State banks to be kept in the State treasury as a security that ne bills issued would be paid. Then let them pledge as addi- ional security to the same effect too hundred thousand dollars in imperishable seal estate. They nave then perfect security for the redemption of their bills to he amount of three hundred housand dollars. Let the bank then he organized and ssue bank bills to circulate as currency to the amount of three lundred thousaud dollars. Such a currency would be perfectly safe and have the full confidence of all. It would be impossible for the Presidert or cashier to skip to Canada with either the ana or tne Donas, sucn a cur rency would also be perfectly flexible, that is its volume wouici increase or diminisn ac -t -a cording to the demand. If such a bank should keep its bills all oaned out at f per cent it would rccpive on the original capnoi or fciWjUUU juse 10 per cent because 5 per cent on 300, AA- . 1i . uou is equal xo 10 per cent on 100,000. Then also it would receive as interest on its bonds in the treasury about 4 percent: making in all 19 per cent on the capitol invested. A business so profitable would attract much capital. More and larger bmks would be organized and the volume of currency would be so large that it could not all loaned at 5 per cent and the rate of in i. A -11-1J 1 ii-fc lerest wcum zaii to aoout is per cent and even at this low rate iruch a bank would make about 1 a a 11 i . iv per cent, on uie capnoi in vested. There you t-ee Mr Editor, such a currency would not only be perfectly sate but perfectly flexible and responsive to demand. Laud would rapidly increase in value bv bein made the basis of the currency spirit of interprise would awake and the slumbering energies of our people be called into action as matters now stand many profitable enterprises fail for want of capitol. Interest is too high and money too hard to get. An ideal currency is one that is safe, flexible, cheap and not liable to beco ne concentrated in the money centers, and a currency such as we have indica ted would posse.-s all theie elements in the highest possi ble degree. Give us the monetization of land, and insread of the present depressed condition of Agricul ture and growing poverty among our farmers, the pros perous days from 1850 " to 1860 would come again and the wheels of industry revolve with newness of life. If we are iu error m this mat ter we Jiope some ono will be sagacious enough to point out our mistakes. One thing is certain the people need and mean to have relief from the monstrous financial system which is crushing them under the feet of bond holders and national banks.

It is every woman' duty, first to lir-rs lf, second to her family, and third to society to appear nf-at, attractive and to an advantage in every way possible. THE FLESHY WOMAN' MISTAKE. Tight bodices are gradually giving place to various fashions which are more easy and health ful. Therefore, the irritating process of fitting a tight basque no longer need concern the amateur dressmaker. Gowns made half tight at the waist that is, with long, sloping seams curving from the waist down in the skirt, as in the polonais or ;princess" dress reveal undulations of the figure the and give also the effect of slender ness. A girdle, worn under neath, drawing in the back seams, and thus showing the graceful lollow of the back, may be worn, and such a gown should be fastened at the back. On of the opening chapters of George Eliot's "Romola" is illustrated by a picture show ing the heroine arrayed in the simple fashion of that period. She stands at a reading de3k, eside her father, one hand esting upon the extended arm of the lamp. Her hair is partly confined by a fillet, her square- necked, plaiu-bieasted gown is not tight, yet falls smoothly, fits well ana is classical. In it she appears tall and slender. otuuu llBu iiov nuuut ui. C!-.,4- 1 I, 1, P I uusb guwns, auu ia'.e iiiem- selves within an inch of their ives. Why should thsy? I - -i orue Knew a cneruDic young ady who, even before the plain, tight waist began to yield to various modifications, made her waists plain, but loose at the waist, as she said, like a ''baby's slip." It made her appear in- antile, hence attractive. She had learned how to turn her physical defect to advantage. Had she belaced herself, she would have indicated her rotun dity the more, the extreme dif ference between bust and wa-is4-line only serviug to point what she wished to obscure. Even ness is the object to be attained. If the stays are worn suffici ently loose to allowr deep, easj inhalation, a stout person's figure will appear straighter, far less rotund especially it the gown worn fall smoothly from the shoulder, and half tight or in straight plaits over the waist line. That tight lacing increases fullness about the upper portion of the body is proved by the fact that girls with scrawny necks have often . , . ln t. ,i i. tv ii.ii m.idtvuv ii r,Lnr ci vg illch their "necss mignt appear fatter"! a questionable advan tage with the purplish floridity this process insures to the skin. Fashion Notes. White toilets will be in vogue this summer; green is unques tionably la mode; brown is the poet's color, and the yellow tints, par icularJy baize, prim rose, apricot and cameo are on the top wave of populatity.

If you want to seem tall and commanding cai'ry a white parasol and wear a white hat or white aigrette. In the new style of dress the woman of fashion is a revela- tiou. She cuts a figure unprece- dented in the history of tojjsrery. She is not only newly dressed, but remodelled, made over, re- formed. And whal is inos t singular she has freedom of locomotiou, elasticity, grace and, it is said, c.unfort. She is not tied back, not laced, not hampered by petticoats and not weighed down with almstle extenders or crinoline. Just how it is made we do no know, Those who affect the French designs, wear what we might! call smart dresses; those who effect the English, wear simple and severe costumps. Just now there is a rage for millinery oddities, the quaintest of which is the butterfly bonnet a. Parisian novelty originally designed for some stags beauty, The entire crown was formed of an exact reproduction of the body and wings of a butterfly in ruby velvet, the body being lined wi'.h jet of variegated tints. Along the brim falling on the butterfly bonnet-hair was a dainty bordering of ruby feathers, surmounted by a twisted diadem of velvet. These butterfly bonnets are also brought out in black, white and colored net tulle, the gauzy wings being sprinkled with gold and crystal that glitters and shines in beauty under lamp light. The straight shapeless wrap per and Mother Hubbard, which have so distressed husbands and brothers are happily disap pearing, and being supplanted by the graceful gown and the clinging princess dress. Till: TAliLli It has been said, ''there are hut a few thing on which health and happiness depend more than on the manner in which food is eooked.'' At this season of the year our appetite fails us more than at any other time, and cooks are more put to their wits to know what to prepare and how. Alhrw us to make l few sug gestions. If you have mutton, lamb, kid or a pig ham don't cook it the same way you have a hundied times before. Any or all of the ,e would be nic stuffed md baked. The stuffing should be made of bread crumbs, into which, after being boiled, break a few eggs, and add a little butter, pepper, salt, sage, thyme, oniou or vegetable garlic. Mix well till about the consistency of thick mush. Roil the meat till tende, make holes in it on the flesh side with a knife and push in the stuffing. The skin side of the meat ought also to be scarred in checks and a little of the stuffiing laid into the scores. This flavoring wTill per meate the entire piece of meat to the bone, and the flavor is delicious. By exchanging parsely for nc in the ab0VR flavoring, it would be nice with hsh. In stead of chopping a fish up cross wise and frying for each day, bake it whole U3ing this dress ing, ine outside o: the nsh should be scilred lengthwise andsomeof the dressing laid into the scores, with bits of fat meat, lard or butter. This will prevent the meat from being dry. In using the above flavor ings be careful not to put in too much. A TIMELY SUGGESTION. "What Clinton Might ISecome, WTTTII A LARGE HOTEL, LIVERY STABLE. A FIRST CLAfeS XICE DRIVERS AND A PARK. PRETTY Thomasville, Ga.. April 7, 1890. Dear old Caucasian. Mr. Editor: I wish to speak to my Clinton friends a word on a subject tnat snouid interest them. Thomasville, Ga., is quite a winter resort for northern people, and let me ask why j Clinton can't be made a stoping . place lor tnem on tiieir way be done and let me tell the people of Clinton how to go about it in order make it a suc cess. In addition to good hotels, there must he srood market knot. also have nice drives and n. good liver7 stable. I have seen enough the last two years to convince me that Clinton can in duce capital to stop there. Peo ple from the 2orth are real anxious to come South and spend their winters in order to look around for a place to in vest and remember wherever they stop more or less money is left behind them. Then Clin- i - ion should arrange for good and nice Lq-joa ntvr Pnrh- Livery. I will be pleased to no anything in my p jwer to insure her good crop of tourist the first season Sampson county is a3 good county as there is anywhere; all that is wanting there is a few people with plenty money and willing alo ready to spend it. I do hope that a meeting ivM be held soon among the good people of Clinton and tafce steps towards fcxmg up a park. People, as all are aware, in bad health after riding out, want a park where they can go anr spend a few hours. A fifty thousand dollar hotel well ad vertised will certainly be a good investment for the people of Clinton. Many here will soon leave for different points in .North Carolina. My advice to all the boys in Sampson is this, to sUy at home and help build up their own State. There is an old mau here seventy four years old that told me a few days ago as soon as he got able he was going back to his native Stat3. He left North Carolina when he was sixteen years old and he said to me with tears in his eyes, "Georgia is a good State but there is no place like my old home." I hope that 1890 will bring many new names on The Caucasian, already large list of subscribers. Success to North Carolina and especially Samp- son county. Regards to my many friends in and around Clinton. Mr. Editor please send me The Caucasian. I am as ever, I Jas. j. uoebd uebbisg. Alliance Department. TThk Caucasian was adopt ed as the official organ of the Coun ty Allian?es by the County Alliance, January lUth.f FARMERS' ALLIANCE. Let the Alliance Teach Them tj Cont inence the Ueforni at Home. The following is the opinion of a successful farmer: If we would be prosperous, contented and happy we must raise our own supplies. There are scores upon scores of farmers who scarcely have a home made article about them, and right here I Avould include all classes to a certain extent. Visit their homes and we would find they must have yankee chairs, yan kee bed-steads, yankee bureau, yankee shovel and tongs, and yankee centra table piled up with stacks of agricultural jour nals published in Louisville. Kentucky, or Sprmgfied, Ohio Go to the kitchen and you will find a yankee stove, yankee bucket, yankee dipper, yankee towel, yankee soap and a great many other articles. You scar cely see a home made atticle unless a few roasted sweet po tatoes. Gc to the smoke house, brother farmers, and we will find a piece of white Chicago meat, a piece of a barrel of Minnesota flour, a small quanti ty of Irish potatoes from Maine, a small stand of Chicago lard, a bag of Richmond meal, a keg of scalled Cuba molasses, and a jug ot vinega. from 2ew Jersey. Go to the barn and there you will find his Kentucky mule or mules, fed on shipstuff from Baltimore, mixed with hay from Illinois, cut with a knife fr m sew York: his wagon is from Michigan, his harness from Massachusetts, his plow from Pennsylvania, his uuggy from unio, and even the old guano tacks about have on them Rhode Island. I have not named an article but could be raised in North Carolina. It will pay no farmer to r ise cotton and buy his sup plies. For the sake of coming generations and the love we cherish for our common country, let us encourage home industry and try to plaster our State ovdr with spare-ribs, back bones and sausages, instead of mortgages. It has not been very long since a mercantile gentleman told me that some farmers, so called, would come to town and give mortgages to the amount of forty or fifty dollars and trade out every cent of it before they left town. Let us practice economy and stop this universal and inexcusable waste. The more you have to buy the more chances you give the high war tariff and the heartless speculator to rob you. Until these incuhusses can be struck from our bod"? politic (and may Goo! urant that the day is near at hand) it is wisdom for us to live like the oyster, in his shell, and "unto himself alone." In short we cau boycott them by raising our home sup plies. How to Lire at Home and Board at the Same Place. rSpecial to The C.u cafiaxJ Of all poor devils, the average poor farmer has the hardest times. His hos dieth of cholera and he '-gHteth" no more meat unless he mortgageth" hi last bull yearling. His days are full of vexation, and his quinine is mixed with flou", and h's flour is mixed with rye and cowpeas. He worketh hard day by day and the money sharks geteth his effects at their own figures. He is not asked what he will take for his produce, but taketh what he can' get and no use of grumbling. How long, U, now eiore he will be a free man ! The "niggers" .ay they would'nt take anything for their freedon, but this poor white man hath none worth a mention. The Alliance promlseth him freedom but he heedeth not the call, and goeth on grumbling and complaining, and if he jnineth &ni geteth not a barrel of flour gratis he sayetb the Alliance is of no account, and he falleth out with i and scat tereth abroad he good intentions (provided he ever had any) and declareths the Alliance will never accomplish anything, be cause he could not break it down, and the last state of this man is about 10 degrees below naught. But, if he will work 12 months in the year instead of 4, and use economy, make and shelter his fertilizers, raise more cattle, and give better at tention 1 3 his hoirs, he will soon begin to be able to live at home and board at the same place.

Mr. Ld. N. Iiutler was the vic tim of the shocking tragedy. Hit residence is on Elizabeth street, on the hill just over Dollars Branch. The thick undergrowth of this branch on the east side of the street has not yet given way to the tread of growth and progress, which is making such rapid strides in other quarter. In this thicket, just back of the fence, the ambushed murderer was concealed. IDs victim left his residence at 1:15 p. in and started, unsuspectingly, down the sidewalk on tho opposite side of the street. When about oiih hundred yards from his res Ideuce, within twenty yards of the hedge, the deamon, from ambush, fired upon hi in. The report was loud and deadly, that of a gun much overloaded. The load went crushing through But lers body. Ho did not fall, but stood dazed for a moment, then leaned against tho fence- Tho murderer, fearing that his hell ish deed was not effected, stod up from his hiding and began to reload his gun. Rutlur then hollowed r.ir help, whereupon his wife, who was standing on the porch and saw tho dreadful tragedy, . and several men at work near ran to his assistance. . The murderer fled. Putler was borne to his house and Dr. Ste vens was summoned, lie made an examination and found that the wound was large and ugly. The missel, whatever it was, (certainly something larger thau a ri'Je ball) had fractured tho upper part of the hip bone, pass ed through the bowels and lodg ed in the spinal column. Tho doctor shook his head and can didly told his patient that he must prepare to meet his God, that his limit of life could not be more than forty-eight hours. The doctor did all in tho power )f his profession to relieve tho sufferings ot the unfortunate man till the end should come. On Monday at 12:15, just forty- seven hours after the fatal shot. his spirit passed into cntornity. Dr. R. II. Hollida, the coron er, summoned the following Ju ry: Win. A. Johnson, J. A Fer rell, W.S. Peterson, II. P. Hobbs, R. C. Holmes and Abner Merritt. The coroner and the jury imme diately decided to have a post mortem examination made, which was done by Dr. J. A. Stevens, the County Superin- tedent of Health, assisted by Dr. R. II. Holliday. They re ported that the missel after en tering the upper part of the right hip penetrated tho right decending colon (one of the large intent. ties) and lodged iu the Fpina! coIuuifi,shatteriug It, either one of which wounds would lutve cau-ed death The doctors found the missel, which was not a bullet, but a piece of a h ilf inch rod of hteel about one and one-fourth inches in length. It was flittend and sharp and lagged atone ead, just as chopped oIT at some blacksmith shop The report of the doctors n the autopsy, together with the slug, was sent into the jury. The dying dec laialuiot the murdered uian, stating that he recognized his murderer, had been taken. This was also placed before the jury. The jnry then examined seveial witnesses and then proceeded to make up the verdict, which will not be disclosed, but re ported to the next term o! Sampson cou t, according to law. The deceased was a son of Mills Butler, and was 43 years of age. He leaves a wlfo and eight or nine children. It was touching to see the infaut child, just beginning to walk and hiv ing learned to partially articu late only two words, toddling about calling out "papa ! mam ma!" all unconscious that an assassin's hand bad left it an orphan.
