Charlotte Democrat. CHARLOTTE. N. C. fob the charlotte democrat. Statesvillk, Nov. 3, 1888. Editors Democrat: Id the death of W. J. Yates, the State baa sustaioed quite an irrepairable loss, and Journalism one of ill oldeat and best representatives, whose aim was to always do good. As a oseial and upright citizen, Mr Yates was unex celled, and his good works will long live to declare the nobility of his public spirit for the general welfare for no "pent up Utica" restricted bis noble spirit for the welfare of all. His excellent Journal (Democrat) weekly portrayed the noble qualities of the ibid, It had lone been the desire of the writer to see the name of W. J. Yates put forth for the highest office in the State, and that of President would have been honored by him, but bis ambition did not lead in tbat direction, as be often declared, preferring to use bis talents in a different way, for the welfare of his fellow citizens. Mr Yates was known to the writer Irom hi boyhood, and hid parents before him, whose memory wax honored by the pri vate virtues of a dutiful son, who neg lected them not in thrir old age, but loved them the more, an example for all sons to follow. Such a citizen in worthy a monu ment in "Independence Square." I am pleased that the Democrat will continue to be published, as formerly, lor its many patrons would feel lost without it, and its usefulness quite indispensible to farmers, mechanics, and general pub lic, all of whom cannot fail to peruse its columns with interest and profit forming a valuable library of useful koowledge in every household. E. B. Drake. Cross and White. Ualeigu, N. C, Nov. 5. This even ing the Supreme Court filed the anxiously expected opinion in the case of C. E. Cross and S. C. White, the late President and Casbie of the State National Bank of llaleigb. The Court holds that the forgery is a misdemeanor by the laws of this State, and though associated with oertain entries made on the books of the bank, it is a distinct offence from that constituted under the act of Congress and does not oust the jurisdiction of the State Cedrt to try the forgery as a separate crime. The offences are cognizable by different tribunals, distinct and inde pendent in themselves, and a party may be guilty of one and innocent of the other. The Revised Statutes of the United Stales, 5418, is directed againBt frauds perpetrated against the Government and doe not refer to promissory notes or securities held by the banks or individuals. Though the forgery was used in covering ap the real condition of the bank by sup plying spurioui in place of its wasted re sources involves intent to defraud some one, and under our statute the general charge was sufficient, the Court sustains the instructions of the Court below and affirms its judgment, which was that Cross and White be put at hard labor on the public roads for a long term of years. - .. The Flour Trust. The object of this trust is admitted to be to keep down the price of wheat and to keep up the price of flour. The great mills of the country, as we have hereto fore pointed out, have been selling flour in Great Britain cheaper than in the Uni ted States. The purpose of shipment is to keep up prices in the home market by getting rid of the surplus product. The millers assert that they are compelled to this course in order to mill at a profit; it would be better for them to sell, for ex ample, every third barrel abroad at, eay 50 cents less than the home rates if there by they may charge 50 cents apiece for the other two barrels. They also charge that grain gambling forces them to it Naturally the millers resort to the over shadowing trust system in order to protect their industry. How it is with tbera just at present, may be gathered from the circumstance as stated by Miller Cole of this city. He says: "If flour made out of grain bought ou to-day's (Saturday's) market was shipped to England it would cause a loss to the miller of from 40 to 50 cents a barrel." He adds: "The idea is this, that if we pay fictitious prices for wheat, we must have a factitious price for flour." This is, in a nutshell, why the trust is necessary for the millers. By the trust they will be able to get their own terms and sell their flour to the publio also on their own terms. Now, what do the farmers and the consumers respectful ly think of such a prospect as this? It is simply a proposal to buy wheat and sell floor in the United States at purely ficti tious prices. Chicago Neves. Obscurity of Birth. - It is only shallow-minded pretenders- who make either distinguished origin a matter of personal merit or obscure origin a matter of personal reproach. A man who is not ashamed of himself need not be ashamed of his early condition. . It did happen to me to be born in a log-cabin, raised among the snow-drifts in New Hampshire, at a period so early that when the smoke first rose from its rude chimney and curled over the frozen hills there was no similar evidence of white man's habi tation between it and the settlements on the river of Canada. Its remains still ex ist. I make it an anuual visit. I carry my children to it and teach them the hardships endured by the generations be fore them. 1 love to dwell on the tender reoollections, the kindred .ties, the early affections and the narrations and incidents which mingle with all I know of this prim itive family abode; I weep to think that none who then inhabited it are now among the living; and if 1 ever fail in affection ate veneration for him who raised it and defended it against savage violence and destruction, cherished all domestic com forts beneath its roof and through the fire and blood of seven years' revolutionary war shrunk from no toil, no sacrifice to serve bis oountry and to raise his children to a condition better than his own, may my came and the name of my posterity be blotted from the memory of mankind. Mantel Webster. K37A man living near Davis & Crowell's lime kilns has been catching quail in a peculiar way. For three weeks be has been spreading grain in the road near bis plaoe where quail abound. On the day the law was out he put wheat in the place as usual, but had previously soaked the wheat in whiskey. Watching the place, he saw the quail oome out, eat, get drank, and in a short time lie down stupefied. He then went to them and gath ered about 100 into a sack that he carried with him. A few that were not fully drunk were easily caught , by his dog. He bas practioed the same method since successfully. Santa Cruz Surf. North Carolina's Independence. I am proud that I was. born in the State of North Carolina and that I am a citizen of Mecklenburg county. The most mod est and unassuming of all the States, we do not sufficiently vindicate the just mer its of our own people. We should culti vate more pride in our splendid annals, and without approaching to intolerant vanity, we yet should have sufficient self assertion to do justice to ourselves and oar ancestors. No State bas a prouder share in the deeds snd events which are connected with the establishment of national liberty and national glory. In all of these she was either first or among the first. On her shores was planted the foot of the first white man who landed ou the shores ol this great land within her borders was shed the first blood ever shed on Ameri can soil in resistance to the oppression of the mother country, in the battle of Ala mance. Within her borders, one hundred years ago, the first Declaration of Inde pendence was made in these United States, and by her Provincial Congress was the first authority given to her delegates in the Continental Congress to declare Na tional Independence o( Great Britain. North Carol;na, in truth, furnished the birthplace of American liberty, but so long as we imitate our sires she will uever furoiith it a grave. And in all the hundred years that have elapsed North Carolina has maintained the proud position she assumed in the be ginning. True, she has not advanced in material prosperity like some of her great and more favored sisters. She has not built so many railroads and large cities, containing such vast accumulations of capital, but in all things which pertain U hum?n freedom, in all things which tend to preserve the patriot souls of men white and pure from the taint ef despotism, North Carolina is behind none. And though, in that splendid constella tion ot great men who entabli&bed this government among the nations, there may be stars of greater magnitude and whiob shine with a brighter lustre, yet, as it sweeps across the plain of heaven, career ing toward the zenith, in the van of that glittering throng you will ever see brave and modest North Carolina. Z. J3. Vance, in N. C. Teacher. Marshall Sappington, a police offi cer in St. Louis, has just died iu the in sane asylum in that city from the excessive use, it is said, of quinine, which deranged his mind. A number ot St. Louis physi cians who were interviewed in ibis con nection, gave it as their opinion tbat a large number of people in that city are suffering, not only from amaurosis a blindness caused by the excessive use of quinine but also from cinchonism or quinine deafness. One of the physicians said: "Twenty to forty grains taken withiu say ten hours are sufficient to cause amaurosis, and the regular use of quinine in much smaller quantities daily tor a few weeks is almost sure to produce deafness, which sometimes is permanent." Inquiry among oculists and aurists de veloped statements tbat quinioe blind ness and deafness prevail in St. Louis to an alarming extent, these diseases having scarcely ever been heard of certainly not under their present names until the recent shrinkage in value of this drug. George H. VanderbiUs purchase in North C7aro 'iTifl. Charleston, S. C. Nov. 2. George H. Vanderbilt, who has been on a visit to Asheville, N. C, left there for New York yesterday. He has pur chased 1,000 acres of land near that place on the Swananoa Kiver, and he contem plates other large purchases. The gener al belief is that the Vanderbilts propose to fcpend a million dollars in the establish ment of an industrial and mechanical school of a charitable nature. It is said that Mr William J. Vanderbilt and family will accompany Mr George H. Vander bilt on a visit to this State for two or three months, arriving here in March. Rooms have already been secured at one of the hotels for their accommodation. He Fell into a Whalb's Mouth. "My narrowest escape lrom death," said Capt. F. D. Haskell, a retired sea captain, "was when I fell, like Jonah, into the very mouth of a whale, which, however, did not swallow me, probably not think ing me a choice morsel. In my whaling days we didn't have the harpoon-gun, but were obliged to row up close to the whale and harpoon him by a cast from the hand. This whale that I spoke of gave a sudden twist and threw me back ward out of the boat. I tumbled square ly into his month, which hung open four teen feet from jaw to jaw. He closed his mouth and, crushed my legs rather gently for a whale and let me go again, when I was picked up by one of the ship's boats. We got the whale, though." Minneapo lis Tribune. K3iT A traveler in Brazil writes to a horticultural paper telling of the crop of mistletoe that he found growing on the telegraph wires near Rio Janeiro. When he first saw it he thought that floods had left weeds hanging to the wires, but a nearer inspection snd the height of the wires convinced him tbat the apparent weeds were thousands of little mistletoes firmly fixed to the wires. Many species of this plant grow in Brazil, and some, called "bird weeds," bear berries whicb are eaten by the birds. The seeds are de posited on the telegraph wires and take root. They are short lived of course, but the constant deposits of seeds clothe the wires with this curious fringe. N. Y. Sun. . . . m tSf And now an Iowa man who has spent fourteen years upon the problem claims that he has made an auger that will bore a square bole. His invention is simply an oscillating head with chisel edges and projecting lips, which cut out the corners in advance of the chisel. The rest of the machine is an almost exact counterpart of the old style boriog ma chine. It will cut a 2 by 4 mortise in from four to five minutes with perfect ac curacy, tbat a carpenter cannot complete in less than half an hour. . Surgeon-General Hamilton baa re ceived a visit from Dr. S. J. Knott of Atlanta, Ga., who claims to have discov ered the cause and the cure of the yellow fever. He believes tbat the disease is dependent upon certain telluric and at mospheric conditions favorable to the accumulation of phosphorus in sufficient quantities to produce phosphoric' poison ing. He is positive that he can produce a oase of yellow fever by artificial means on top of Mount Washington. m . tegT" A proclamation, setting apart Thursday, Nov. 29th, as a day of Na tional Thanksgiving and Prayer, has been issued by the President.

At a meet ing of the stockholders of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad, Maj. D. G. itlacRae was chosen chairman. A large majority ot the stock was represented in person, and the act of Congress authoriz ing the building ot bridges over the Cape Fear, North East and Black Rivers, was accepted.

JIF Mr Uzzel had a very queer look ing bird on exhibition at his fruit stand near the Raleigh National Bank yester day which every passer-by stopped to look at but nobody was natural historian enough to tell what kind of a bird it was. It was captured by a gentleman in John ston county. It is a targe bird about the size of a well-grown frying-sized chicken. Its plumage is of greyish mouse color and it has a jet black head. From its broad, flat toes it is very evident it is a marsh bird of some description. Hal. Observer. Another Lambrequin Fire. An other one of those ioternal fashionable mantel lambrequins oame near causing a destructive fire last evening at G o'clock. Mrs D. M. Coiner, who boards at Mrs E. A. Coke's, on Broad street, struck a match to light the lamp in her room and probably in trying to throw the match into the fireplace threw it against the lambrequin, which at once blazed up. The flames ran to the ceiling, the window curtains and shades caught and for awhile there was the prospect of a destructive lire, since the house is in a thickly settled neighborhood and when burned will burn several others. Mrs Coiner was alone but help was at band and in a few min utes the fire was extinguished, though a general alarm was made. This is the third case of fire in the same house from the same cause lambrequins. A man had better store gun-powder on bis man tel than to allow one of these abominable, incendiary things to be tacked to it.

Zanzibar, Nov. 2. Couriers from Ta bora bring direct news from the Stanley expedition, a portion of whiob was met at the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trading between lakes Victoria Nyanza and Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met Stanley's rear guard at a point west of Al bert Nyanza, southeast of Sanga, just as the expedition was preparing to cross swamps caused by radiation of streams that abound in that country. The Arabs did not see Stanley. Thedetaobment seen consisted of thirty men. They stated that Stanley was two days ahead. Ihe expe dition bad suffered greatly on the march through thick forests where it was impos sible to advance more than one and a quarter miles daily. They had also suf fered in the marshes, where many had dis appeared or died. Forty were drowned in crossing a great river flowing from east to the west, and one white man bad died. Stanley was obliged to fight some tribes that refused to supply him with provis ions. The expedition bad often baited in expectation of receiving reinforcements from Congo. The rear guard, at the time met, had only been on the march five days alter a bait of three weeks, due to the illness of Stanley, and a great part of the escort who had been attacked with fever. The Arabs estimate the total strength of the expedition after all losses at 250 men. The health of Stanley was then good. The rear guard, which con sisted of natives of Zanzibar, stated' that Stanley had decided that he would no lon ger advance in a northeasterly direction, but would strike toward the north, ' hop ing to avoid swamps. After getting a certain distance north be intended to take an oblique line to the eastward and go straight to Wadelai, where it was thought he would arrive fifty days later about the middle of January. The Arabs were of the opinion that the expedition was still strong enough to reaoh Wadelai. How to prove that the Earth Toms. It has puzzled the heads of a good many youngsters to know how the earth turns round. A German educational published in Frankfort gives the following directions for proving tbat the earth "does move "Take a good sized bowl; fill it nearly full of water, and place it upon the floor of a room which is not exposed to shakiog or jarring from the street. Sprinkle over the surfaoe of the water a ooatiog of Jyco- podium powder a white substance which is sometimes used for the purposes of the loitet, ai almost any apotnecarys. men upon the surfaoe of ibis coaling of powder make, with powdered charcoal, a straight black line, say an inch" or two - in length. Having made this little black mark with the charcoal powder on-the surfaoe of the contents of the bowl, lay down upon the floor, close to the bowl, a stiok or some other straight object, so that it will be ex actly parallel with the mark. If the line happens to be parallel with ,the crack in the floor, or with any stationary object in the room, this will serve as welL - - Leave the bowl undisturbed tor a lew hours, and then observe the position of the black mark with reference' to the object tbat it was parallel with. It will be found to have moved about, and to have . moved from, east to west that is to say, in the direction opposite to that of the move ment of the earth on its axis. 'The earth in simply revolving has carried the water and everything else in the bowl around with it, but the powder on the surfaoe bas been left behind a little. ' The - line will always be found to have moved from east to west; . whicb is perfectly good proof that everything else has moved the other way.

A young woman brought an action of breach of promise against a ybung man who ad mitted having been engaged to her. His defense was that she objected to bis smok ing and finally said: "Choose between your cigar and me." He made the choice promptly in favor of the weed, and when she sued him the Judge held tbat by offer ing the alternative she was respcnaible for the swain's desertion, and the Sapreme Coart sustained the decision. Digest ol N. C. Supreme, Court Decisions I FaUTermt 1888. Webb vs Bisbp.Where debt due by note is renewed by other notes, whose amount is greater than that of the debt and interest, the excess, in the absence of explanation, will be taken to be usury, as a consideration for forbearance. Such usurious- excess ia a note made prior to Mareb 24, 1875, is not recovera ble; as the act of 1875 making void usu rious contracts does not apply to contracts theretofore made whicb remain governed by Bat. Rev., chap. 114, under which the only penalty is tbat the usurious excess is not recoverable. Such usurious excess must be eliminated in calculating what, is doe on the note.' Where interest on the usurious son haa been paid, however, it can not be taken into account in reducing the amount of the note; for although not recoverable at law, it baa been paid. Where a renewed vote is void under the act of 1875, the creditor may disregard it and fall back npou the former note not void under the law, and recover upon it. State vs Anderson. A witness for the State Wing -asked by the defendant counsel to testify what the declaration ol the defendants were, he was not allowed to testify as to tbem; but ' tbe defendant, testifying in bis own beball, having given bis own declarations in evidenoe, the for mer witness was recalled and waa then permitted to testify as to the declarations. Held, That it there was error in the first insiauce, it was cured by allowing the testimony to be subsequently given. The qiestion as to wbo shall open and conclude, except where no evidence is in troduced, is now left to the coart and its decision is not reviewable. How far the opening counsel should go in developing bis case is felt largely to tbe discretion of the court. Epps and wife vs Flowers. There is but one Superior Court, but tbe functions of the court are in some cases exercised by the olerk. In a case improperly brought to term time it is allowable for the process to be amended so that it may be beard by tbe clerk. 'An infant feme covert cannot bind her self by deed with privy examination so as to deprive herself of her right to disaffirm her contract, on becoming free from disa bility. , . - I When an infant feme covert joins her husband in a deed to his land in which she has an inchoate right of owner, and becomes a widow and marries again dur ing ber minority, she may disaffirm her deed relinquishing dower and ber disa bilities continue during ber Becond cover ture. Kreth vs Rogers. Where a person sells a stock of goods lo another, and takes a mortgage on the same, the terms of whicb require the mortgagor in purchasing oth er goods to pay cash therefor, together with other cautionary stipulations, such circumstances rebut any presumption of fraud arising from allowing the mortgagor to remain in possession. Where the par ties have agreed tbat the court should find tbe tacts, and there is evidence to warrant the finding, it must staod as con clusive. Where a mortgage is made of a stock of goods as above, and tbe mortgagor in pos session buys other goods on credit and mingles them in confusion with his former stock so tbat they cannot be separated, executing a second mortgage to secure the second vendor: Held, That because of confusion tbe first mortgage must be held to embrace the stock with its acces sions; and that the second mortgagee if be sutlers loss, suffers because of his own laches in dealing with one whose stock was so mortgaged and enabling him to so intermingle the property as to prevent its being distinguished. Held, As tbe first Mortgagee waa not chargeable with laches, and 'the second was, having contributed to the confusion, it devolved on the latter to show what f roods on band, if any, were not embraced n the first mortgage and all the goods indistinguishable' musi be held to be so embraced. . " Collins, vs Collins. Subscribing wit nesses to wills are not within the catego ry of persona having transactions with the deceased which incapacitate them from testifying to th) fact. They are witnesses of the law and not of a party. And the fact that attesting witnesses are bene fioiaries under the will does not incapaci tate them' from testifying. Proof of kind relations between a wife and her husband is admissible, where he willed his entire estate to her, and the de vise is attacked. Bowling vs Benton. When a complaint states a cause of aotion defectively, it is demurrable; and the court may ex mero motu require the pleading to be made more specific, but such a oomplaint is not to be treated as not stating a cause of action, aud tbe action dismissed. Where one sells a mill, with dam, with the right lo erect. dams serosa a stream and at the time of and before the sale, claimed and appeared to exercise the right of ponding water on the adjacent lands of others, ihe easement so claimed will be understood to pass with tbe pro perty; and a covenant of quiet enjoyment although rot in terms ;m bracing it, will be construed to do so; and if in fact there be no such easement, tbat will be held brancn- of covenant, notwithstanding the covenant does not exoressly embrace it if it reasonably appears tbat it was in' the minds of the parties tbat it passed as a part of the property conveyed. State vs - Hicks. Under Seotion 1,117 Code, a defendant may be punished for selling liquor on Sunday in the county jail, and therefore where the county has made provision for working con-nets on the publio roads, such defendant may be sentenced to hard, work on the publio roads. - 5 While it is better that the judgment should state tne fact tbat such provision had been made by the county, vet it ia not indispensably necessary to its validity.

Tbe close, how ever, was easier, in sympathy with the Southern markets. ..Yesterday there was some advance on the stronger accounts and the comparatively email crop move ment. There w. re also reduced offerings on Southern account. Today an easier opening was foil wed by a renewed show ot strength, with Liverpool slightly dear er, and private advices of an unfavorable crop report from Memphis. Cotton ou the - spot' i remained without quotable change, but developed some irregularity in tone. Low grades were in large sup ply and weak, while high grades were comparatively scarce and very firmly held. To-day the market was quiet at 9.13-160 for middling uplands. ' The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 333,900 bales.' Saving. A man is very apt to deceive himself into an idea that he cannot save, and that it is ot no use attempting it. He convinces himself that bis income is little enough for present- necessities, and puta off tbe hope ol accumulation, if be forms it at all, to that happy period when he shall be in somewhat better circumstances. His circumstances do, perhaps, improve, but his wants have extended as muob, and still the time for saving is far ahead. Thus he goes on, resolving and re-resolv- mg, until he is at last surprised by some sudden calamity which deprives him even of his ordinary earnings, or by death, which cruelly cuts bim off in the very midst of tbe best intentions in tbe world.
