Woodard will ao cept our thanks for a copy of bis speech on the tariff. When populists and Repu blicans fuse aren't the offsprings hybrids? Will Editor Marshall give us the " He brew" of this. The Count of Paris, the last hope of the Royalists of France, for the restora lion of the monarchial form of govern ment in the country, died in London last Saturday. The Republican convention at Moores boro, Friday, J. B. Fortune, ex-revenue officer and ex postmaster, ot Shelby, was nominated for the Senate, and J. Y. Ham rick also endorsed. The crop for 1893-94 was 7,754,817 bales, and, notwithstanding low prices and hard times, reached the enormous value of $280,000,000. The average price per bale was $37.50, against $45.50 the previous year. At Indianapolis on Thursday Robt. J. made the second heat in his match with JoePatchen for $5,000 in 2.02, being the fastest mile ever paced, the three heats averaging in speed 2.03$, making the fastset three heats ever paced. Both the populists and the Republi cans in their State convention endorsed ex-Judge H. G. Connor, of Wilson, as Associate Justice to succeed Justice Armistead Burwell. Mr. Connor says now positively that he will not consent to this use of his name, and if he should be elected would not accept, qualify or serve. The Democrats of Cabarrus county last Saturday met in conventional Con cord and made the following nominations : Forth. Legislature, H. S. Puryear; Clerk, J as. C. Gibson ; Sheriff, L. M. Morrison ; Register of Deeds, John K. Patterson; Treasurer, John A. Cline, The convention endorsed T. J. Jerome for the Senate. mm Wilmington will have a grand "Wel come Week" celebration this fall. mmm mmm Prices Reduced. One of the best weapons the Dem ocrats will have in the present campaign is & Wanamaker advertisement. That firm boldly proclaims that the new tariff law has lowered prices. This is a sample of one of his advertisements: OUE FINE POSITION. when the tariff knife fell was because of the light stock of foreign goods on hand and the heavy lots in port waiting. Our prompt action in re rating our merchan dise under the new law set our customers exactly where they expected to be ON THE VERY LOWEST PLATFORM OT PRICES." Now, says the Washington Post, Wan amaker's, as we all know, is a peculiar establishment. It does not deal in spe cialties of any kind. It deals in every thing. You can stock a variety store, you can furnish your house, you can equip a canal boat, or a seaside cottage; you can dress a preacher, a footman or a socking infant; you can get what you w&nt from a canary bird to a catboat, or trom a pair of earrings to a library. It is U sorts of a store. It covers the whole ground of retail commerce. And here is Wanamaker's chief floor walker standing by the door; with his hand upon his breast, and swearing in polished pe riods that the new tariff law has mur Wed prices. Blew Advertisement.

Don Cameron and " Haybeed Populists." Our ' Washington correspondent is reliably informed that Senator Jones is a backer of the Cameron presidential boom. Doubtless he hopes for second place. "The talk about the presidential aspi rations of Senator Don Cameron, ot Penn sylvania, upon a free silver platform, which was current in political circles during the heat of the session of Congress, is reviving, and in the light of recent events and the somewhat unexpected popping of Senator Jones of Nevada into the populist ranks is assuming renewed significance. For some time it has been believed that Cameron really cherishes the ambition to bead a new faction in a presidential race and had fixed upon tLe advocates of free silver coinage to form his party. And now the quid nunces say that a new light is breaking upon the situation. Agencies, which it is claimed are to bring about the amalgamation of the silver forces into a party which Sena tor Cameron is to head, are said to have commenced work. A close friend of Senator Jones of Nevada authoritatively stated to your correspondent that this apostate republican senator is a backer of the Cameron presidential boom. This statement, simple in itself, opens up a wide range of political probabilities when dissected. "It is said that when Senator Jones takes bis place at the head of the silver party, which he has just embraced in a dramatic avowal of allegiance, a position which, it is asserted, he will undoubtedly occupy, by virtue of his long prominence in na tional affairs, bis efforts, after looking to his own senatorial interests, will be devoted to an attempt to swing the silver party into line for Don Cameron. It is said by the silver men that fine discrim ination is to be made against what they are pleased to call the "hayseed populists" a term which they explain as meaning those people who hold to the fantastic ideas of the subtreasury stamp. Of course they expect to catch the "hayseed populists," for free silver is a plank in the populist platform, but the aim of the new silver men is to attract to their ban nor a class of voters who would not join a distinctively populist movement, but who will go in for a change in the financial system. This is the germ of the new Don Cameron presidential boom which the political circles are whispering about." m m - Gen. George STONEMAN,ex-6overnor of California, died Wednesday at the home of his sister in Buffalo, N. Y. General Stoneman raided Western North Carolina in 1865, visiting Salisbury on the 13th of April. The prison, railroad depot and other property was burned, and our people have a vivid recollection of the occasion. We publish in another column an extract from Congressman Woodard's speech on the tariff. We have since received a copy of the same and it is a plain statement of the manner in which the McKinley tax has rob the people. It is a good campaign document and those who read will learn the truth. mw - - mm The Prnorpaaivn 'Farmer PnnnHat ia nnt flv - to - I 1 I ine the Rep-Pop confusion ticket at its mast head. Charlotte' Observer. Waiting for a more appropriate time -with turned ruleB. Col. Oliver Dockert, the Republican nominee for' Congress in the Sixth dis trict, says that he is in the race against Lockhart to stay and that Rev. Martin, the Populist nominee, is not in it at all. Senator Jones, of Nevada, has joined the Populists. He is rich, owns silver mines, and favors free and unconditional coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. The oopulist-republican fusion conven tion of the First district, held at Ed enton Thursday, nominated Col. Harry J. Skinner for Congress. Our thanks are tendered Senator Ran som for a handsome new man of the United States. A Preventive of Hog Cholera. A nnrreanondent of the Now 8 and Courier in Williamsburg county reported a few davs aero that the farmers in that county had lost many ot their nogs re a a 1 cently from cholera, ana similar reports nave oeen receiveu tuio ouuiuinr uum nt.har counties. The bulletin of the Florida Agricultural Department, just published, reports anoiner preventive - . . . m T a i . J which is used in reus, county, ana, as stated, with invariable success. The re port is as follows : "The pork crop is at least 50 per cent, over an average. The farmers are keep ing their hogs free from cholera by the use of charcoal tea in stops every ten days, not as a cure, but as a preventive. None of those who have tried it have lost a bog or had even a sick one. We advise all farmers to give it a triai ana report results to the Bulletin. Several persons have used this remedy for three years in this county and have not lost a hog, while those who have not used it have lost all their hogs." This appears to be conclusive as to the virtues of the preventive, and as it is cheap and can always be made on the farm, there can be no excuse for not try ing it when occasion requires. gW The coalition cannot poll the full strength of. either the Republican or Populist parties, for there are thousands of men in both these parties who will not swallow the fusion pill. They recog nize it as the tricky work of aspirants to place who expect to personally profit by it, and who are using both of the parties to' promote their own political fortunes. When Marion Butler asks Populist who had been Democrats to wallow in the same pool with the Republicans, the consistent -self respecting of them will decline, and so also will thousands of old Republicans "the fire-tried" as they call themselves, refuse to endorse the bargain which practically destroys their party's identity. Wil. Star. jgtte Hut Iff 1 Democrats, Attention 1 Mr. C. W.,Tillett, chairman of the city Democratic club, calls a meeting, of the Club for Monday night next. Lockhart will be here and address the club. A new club is to be organized and delegates appointed to the meeting of the State clubs in Raleigh on the 20th. Mr. Tillett asks that the Democracy of the city turn out and give the new organization an impetus such as will astonish the natives. Mr. Lockhart's other dates in this immediate - vicinity are as follows. At Huntersville on the 17tb, Pineville on the 18th, and Matthews on the 19tb. The Village Church. We copy from the "New York Outlook" striking article, showing how the average town or village church can easily be made to grow in spiritual life and enterprise, by adopting some of the numerous intellectual and aesthetic measures now in use to quicken moral and religious zeal and activity. The article has reference especially to the New England "Town ;" but we see no reason why the same methods would not as well apply to any ehurch congre gation, either in town or country if sufficiently large to inaugurate the work. And we hear of several ministers who have started this or similar move ments among their people; one in this county Dr. Wharton of Steel Creek. For Political Effect. An English committee has been sent to this country to investigate lynchings in the South, and the New York World tolegraphs the Governors of the Southern States for their opinion on the action. Governors Northen, of Georgia, and O'Ferral, of Virginia, sends the World scatcbing replies, "that they had best sweep in front of their own doors before seeking to regulate us; investigate English affairs in India; whitechapel murderers, Jack the Ripper, etc." Gov. Northen asked : "Why come before an investigation to 'denounce the South ju6t prior to a Congressional election when we have just had a negro lynching in Kansas April 2nd, another in Ohio on the Sabbath, April 15th, and. when white Poles and Hungarians have recently been brutally butchered in Michigan and Pennsylvania, and negroes run out ot Franklin Park, N. J., in herds." Governor Carr's response. " North Carolinians are a law-abiding people, and hence opposed to lynching. We believe that the law is adequate if promptly administered. The sovereign States are competent to cope with the question without the omcious intermed dling of a foreign power." mmm . m "The field of war in China," says the Philadelphia Record, "may possibly em brace the tea fields and cutoff tea ship ments to this country for a season." Well what of it? The South can stand it. The South got along very well without any Chinese tea four years and can do it again. Mrs. 1. V. Franklin, ot Augusta, Ga., says: "In those days of self-denial there were wonderful things in the cuisine department much that was mysterious. .Raspberry leaves were used for tea. Persimmons and black pepper formed favorite ingre dients for fruit cake, blended with hickory nuts and walnuts. Groundnuts and parch ed okra made coffee, and sometimes sweet potatoes. Innumerable delicacies were originated." We would like to say to our Philadelphia contemporary that the raspberry vines are in full leaf this year and that our old friends the sassa fras bushes were never more flourishing. The South is a great country to be sure, tT"The hay crop of the United States, in 1893, amounted to 65,766,000 tons, valu ed at $570,882,872,or nearly twice as much as the average cotton crop. What pro portion of this was raised in the South we do not know, but we do know that the South ships very little, for she doesn't grow enough for her own use, and very little for commercial purposes. The South ought to be, can be and some day will be the greatest grass-growing section of this country. She can do what no other section of the country can do, raise two crops and in some sections three crops a year, and can raise more varieties upon the same piece of land than can be grown in any section. Instead of being hard to grow our planters spend more time trying to kill grass than some ot the grass-growers of the North spend in growing it, and as good or better grass than can be grown in some oi the jxortn era States A Northern farmer would think you were playing Baron Munhcau sen with him if you told him of clover and timothy six feet tall and so thick that a mower couldn't be driven through it. but we have seen that repeatedly in North Carolina, and North Carolina isn't putting on any airs as a grass grower. There isn't a patch of land be tween the Potomac and the Rio Grande, with a hatful of soil on it, on which some kind of grass will not grow. There is another thing about it. Grass which once takes root in this section hardly ever dies out. We have seen grass growing in our woods, - the cultivation of which ceased long ago, the seed of which was imported from South America fifty years -a- . t . . . il . ago. it went irom tne pastures into me shaded, moist, woodland, found a home and remains there to this day. Here and there, in our mountain sections, are found patches of Kentucky blue grass, and no body knows how it got there. But it is there and is spreading and thriving as much as it does in the blue grass domain of old Kaintuck. No agricultural coun try can be permanently prosperous which does not know the value of grass and does not utilize it as a feeder of stock and a feeder of land. It is the readiest, the cheapest, and the best of fertilizers. Wilmington Star. mmm I Big Men to Speak at Raleigh. Washington, Sept. 10. Hon. Charles H. Mansur, Second Comptroller of the Treasury, has accepted President Julian S. Carr's invitation to speak at Raleigh, September 20th. It is the occasion of the State convention of Democratic clubs and is to be made a great occasion. The other speakers will be Hon: Hoke Smith, Sec retary of the Interior, Cbauncey F. Balck, president, and Lawrence Gardner, secre tary of the National Association of Demo cratic Clubs, and Senators Ransom and Jarvis. U gcmgcyai, FROM OUR RALEIGH CORRESPONDENT. . . . . Raleigh, N C, Sept. 10, 1894. Governor Carr offers rewards of $100 each for three criminals who merit all the punishment the law carx give them. They are,Bud Harris, Will Downes and Plato Branlett, who outraged repeatedly and most brutally Jane Bryant in Hay wood county. Another man was con cerned in the affair, but be has been captured. These, are all young white men. It is now quite certain that no work will be done on the Baptist Female University here until next spring. It is a great undertaking, and much money will be required, lbere has been great delay in starting this movement. It was expected by its promoters that the build ings would be completed and the Uni versity in operation long ere this. It is a little like a blow to the popu lists, this sharp letter of ex Judge Connor. What will be done now no one seems to know. Will the populists and Republi cans vote for him or will their executive committees put up a new man ? As yet there are do signs of any movement, in this direction. The best authority, here says that the Republicans and populists are in straits, so far as holding their people together is concerned. They are not pulling together like a well matched pair of horses. Marion Butler is the coolest man in the combinas tion. He has not as yet established any headquarters here, nor has Holton, the new Republican chairman, been heard from. Some people- allege that Butler and Holton will have headquarters to gether. Secretary Bruner is greatly pleased with the outlook for mining in this State. Men who are interested , in this sort of development are here quite often now. There are to be more and more mines opened, and there is also to be improved machinery. The University has made a fine open ing, having no less than 440 students. Some years ago there were earnest hopes that the University would once again get up to its ante-bellum figures. It is now up to its former mark, and tbe prospects are will pass it. The attacks on the University have really been of benefit to it. The State board of education has ap portioned about $47,500 of tbe distribu tive school fund. This has accumulated, largely from interest on investments. Divided among the 610,000 children between the school ages of 6 and 21 years, it will give nearly 8 cents to each. At the last school census there were 390,749 white and 212,916 colored chil dren. It is a fact that the colored chil dren, in tbe towns, at least, are studying hard. Some of them apply themselves much more earnestly than many of the white children. The opening of the Morganton school for deaf-mutes and the institution for the blind here is postponed one week, and for the Bame reason ; because tbe build ings will not be ready for occupancy before Oct. 2. The building here is being greatly improved. Two years ago its exterior was made very attractive. This year the work is on the interior. The railway commission has made the tarifl tor lreigbt on the Western North Carolina railway the "same as on the other divisions of the great Southern system, as it holds that all are now equal since the great consolidation. Raleigh has been extremely slow in securing a roller flouring mill, but is at last to have one. Years ago a great deal of wheat was grown in this section and was ground in water mills. Now no wheat is ground save at a long distance from here. Hut mills are' springing up There are 84 roller process mills in the State, as omcial reports Bhow. It is now quite certain that the cotton crop is 20 per cent, worse than it was August 1. The commissioner of agri culture contends that it will be no larger a crop than that of last year. Some large dealers assure me they believe it will be 15 per cent. larger than last season s crops. On stiff clay lands tho crop is certainly a fine average, but on the sandy lands tbe rain has played havoc with the crop, causing shedding and rust. No boll worms are reported. The "August crop," as it is known, is a poor one. The corn crop will be the largest ever gathered in the State. Late corn is not so good as the early crop. The agricultural and mechanical col lege opens with 180 students. There are seven post-graduates and 80 treshmen. Mr. Dugbi, of this city, has been to New York to arrange for the coming of a small colony ot Italians to Southern Pines, where they will cultivate grapes. This is the first attempt of tbe kind in quite a while. There is certainly objec tion on the part of many people to any sort of immigration to this State. These contend that the natural increase of the population will fill the State soon enough The railways in the association or pool will not, in making their charges for freight make any rate for less than 100 pounds. The railway commission is making efforts to get rates on smaller weights. wo of tbe railways say they are entirely willing that there shall be the change desired. The last annual report of Labor Com missioner Lacy was a good one, although he bad a great deal of trouble in procuring information trom manufacturers. He is at work on his 1894 report, and no doubt will have less trouble with it than with the former one. The campaign in the first district began today. Agairat Congressman Branch the populists have Bet up Harry Skinner. It appears, from what the papers have said, that tbe Republicans have endorsed or have agreed to endorse Skinner. How queer he must feel in such Republican company ; as queer as "Buck" Kitchen surely ; both of them have not been surpassed in their hatred of Republicans and Kepublicamsm. The department of agriculture sends its veterinarian, D. Frank P. Williamson, and Prof. Emery of the experiment farm, to Salisbury, to look into the epidemic there which has killed a number of fine cows. Lawyers are ever ready with new methods of procedure and novel grounds for action, but there is an Englishman who has just made himself prominent in his profession as a deviser of a unique basis for a suit for damages. He has entered a suit against a newspaper.asking damages and an injunction, on tbe ground that his practice has been injured by the newspaper withholding his name in cases where he has been successful and publishing it only in cases which he has lost, imminent counsel have been retained on both sides and the action will be bitterly contested hasloiju, & SCHOOL RECORD. Edited by the Pupils of IHABLOTTE S E II IN A It Y CHARLOTTE, N. C. The Seminary opened on Monday, Sept. 3rd, with quite a large number of new girls, and two little boys in the Primary Department In spite of tbe beat and the natural reluctance to go back to work after vaca tion, some very good work was done. m We found tbe house changed in color and freshened up generally, to welcome us. . Miss W atkins, who takes Miss Shipp's place, has already begun to win the girls and we are quite sure they will like to . study for one who is so interested herself. She" has many acquaintances in the country, among her former pupils in South Carolina ; all xf whom rejoice to have her in Charlotte. One of our seniors is recuperating from typhoid fever, and will not be able to take her place in the class room before October. Another is taking in tbe sights of New York, and will be away a week or two yet. The old girls are slow coming in, but there are many new faces to greet us, and help us take up the years' work with interest and zeal. Among the new girls are Miss Elizabeth Grier, of Cabarrus county ; Miss Bertha Morris, of Mecklenburg, and Misses Jennie and Claude Graham, of Lincoln. Mr. Cranz is back, after a pleasant vacation spent in New York and Virginia. His class is fast filling up, so that there will soon be no vacancies on his list. His Department opened with as many as he closed with last year, and there are daily additions. The studio has a different aspeot under its new teacher, and the general outlook is decidedly encouraging. Mrs. Bush goes to Asheville, and Miss Eleanor Long takes her plaee. We miss the one and welcome the other, feeling that the good work that has formerly characterized the Seminary Art students will be carried on as well as ever. All tbe old pupils miss the familiar face and figure of Giles, the janitor. Many inquiries have been made for him. Having been there nearly three years, he seemed quite a part of the establishment. His successor rejoices in tbe name of Eli, and is quite literary in his tastes, spend, ing his spare moments pouring over " some quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore," that has been relegated to tbe shades of the wood room. It will hardly seem that school has really begun until Friday morning brings us tbe dear old Democrat, that is always so eagerly scanned by all the "Seminarians." The St. Louis Republic lookB for "Home Influence" : "Wait till the shop ping mother of the family begins to buy dress goods, clothing, underwear, carpets and stockings. Then the men will know something about the tariff. By this time next year every woman will be a free trader." Another Indian has entered Trinity, making three who are . taking a course there. His name is Wolf and he comes from Cherokee county in this state. -.t- Go ! The business men of the U nited States have had a long, bard time, in which effort brought little return; but now, remarks the " American Grocer," the chief obstacles are out of the way, and every man has a chance to go ahead with ordinary prospects of success. Success, however, cannot be attained without intelligent effort. The farmer has to plant and cultivate and so must the mer chant and manufacturer. It is useless to have meritorious goods unless you let the public know it. The most successful business men everwhere are those who realize the great fact that tbe Press gives them access to the minds of the people ; without the Press most of the great for. tunes made in business would have been impossible ; "that is why," said one of our most successful merchants, " I am al ways glad to see an advertising agent. I may not be open to do business with him at the time, but I always learn something that helps me work intelligently when I am ready to advertise." Advertising is the seed of business. Every business man should provide enough seed from which to raise his crop,and now, when the bus iness interests of the country have got a chance to go ahead, is the time to plant it. American Art Journal.- The Centennial of the Silver Dollar. The silver dollar of Uncle Sam will celebrate the centennial anniversary ot its birtbdaj upon October 15th next. On July 18, 1794, the Bank of Maryland deposited at the Philadelphia Mint French coins of the value of $80,715 for coinage into silver dollars under the act of 1785. The first lot of these finished coins was delivered on October 15, 1794. There were 1758 of them in all, and they were the precursors, the first waves of tha vast flood tide of silver dollars that have poured out upon tbe country during the one hundred years that have elapsed. Philadelphia Record. SB9When North Carolina, which does not believe in lynching for any crime, executed a criminal brute no matter whether his skin was white or black Northern critics, who seemed disappointed at not having another lynch ing to gloat over and condemn, raised the cry of " special term to try him, to all of which Governor Carr makes a strong and manly reply, in which he says he will recommend to the next Legislature a provision. that all rapists be taken at once to the penitentiary, and kept there until tried and convicted, and that execution take place within the walls of the penitentiary.

A child that the doctors consider in the nature of a wonder, was born a few days ago to Mr. and Mrs. E. Grier. of Long Creek. It has six perfectly formed fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot. The extra toes and fineera are perfectly developed and shapely, havise the same bones and movement as the others. Dr. Henderson, of Cr jft, says that the child ia a finely developed boy and thinks the freak one of the most remarkable on record. The North Carolina Road Improvement Asso ciation met on Wednesday afternoon in the city hall, and was called to order by Mayor Brevard, who extended a cordial welcome to all. There were one hundred and fifty delegates present to discuss roads and study the method of Mecklen burg road building. They inspected the grading and macadamizing now being done on Poplar street and will go and see the fine county roads on Thursday. A number of papers were read on the great Improvement to our farms in having good roads. Dr. R. J. Brevard was made per manent chairman All of the delegates were en thusiastic on the subject of good roads, and will. return to their respective homes determined to "have our comity go and do likewise." The Mecklenburg Educational Association was organized Saturday in the Young Men's Christian Association Hall in this city. Twenty teachers were present, of that number only two being from Charlotte.
