For outrage. time a "Simply an Outrage," He Says, That One Who Assumes the Role of a Christian Minister Should lHxseminate "Wholesale Lies and Calumnies, Not LessStupid Thau They Are Cruel and Wicked."

"I easily recall other occasions when those more or less entitled to be called ministers of the Gospel have beeu instrumental in putting into circulation the most scandalous falsehoods concerning my conduct and character.

"Hollow Tail For the Times. "Hollow Horn." It is astonishing how educated peo ple will cling to the most absurd "doctoring" uf dumb brutes, especial ly in the cases of sickness of the horse or cow.

I advised the simple remedies I had used for same trouble in mv own stables, told the owner that usual ly iu two or three hours the animal would be better, but if not better in that time would advise him to send for a "Veterinarian," telling him of two graduates now in Charlotte, both successful in their profession. In about three hours the man came back bringing also the sick animal. I saw at once that the simple medi cine given early in the day had given relief and that the horse was better. I advised quiet and no more medi cine, but seeing the owner was anx ious, I again told him to go for either Dr. Ellis or Dr. Smith. About this time a man who had once owned a horse came along, and from this one horse experience this man had de rived much learning. Of course he could cure this sick animal in "no time." He said "as quick as you can get a table spoon full of blue stone and copperas, pound to a dust and give to the horse." The owner asked me what I thought of it, and as I had never given such a dose to a horse I could not advise him to do so in this case. However, this was given. Directly another man who once had a sick mule came along and he ad vised a new mixture to be given. Then a regular M. D. was called in. He said the horse had a good many doses in him, but he, the doc tor, would try-to overcome all these mix tures and give a dose which might possibly help the horse. The horse died about 4 p. m. Hard to say what killed him, but certainly not the first trouble, colic. I am often sent for to visit sick cows. While I do not profess to know much in the doctor line, still I like to be accommodating and always go to try to relieve the suffering, if only a cow. I find often a cow over fed, a case of founder. Often the tail of the cow is split with a knife and salt and pepper put in the slit and a rag bound around the cut, or a gimlet hole is made in the horn and spirits turpentine put in the hole, both applications made to relieve a stomach trouble. I have known of cases where a comr-etent veterinarian had been con sulted, his medicine used luit the owner of the cow would listen to some old darkey and allow "old uu o. Joe" to snlit the cows tail, cow sot well, "old Joe' g cure, and the man reiusea the "Vet" In my own herd are cases of over feeding, constipation or simple troubles. I use the same similar remedies that I have seen used for like trouble in the human family, such as "soda," "salt," "salts," "cas "tor oil," "turpentine" and other old time household stand-bys; but if I have a bad case. I era in a hurry for a "Vet," and I advise all who have a sick animal to let the hollow norn anrl Vinl low tail nuaek alone and consult one of the excellent veterina rian's in our city. Dairiman. Comes Out of the War a Bad Loser Japan Makes a Big Haul. Washington, April 11. An au thoritative statement of the terms of peace being negotiated between Ja pan and China has been secured from official sources. The statement is made in order to clear up much misrepresentation arising from spec ulation as to the terms of peace. They are five in number, as follows: 1 The Independence of Corea. 2 Permanent cession of the island of Formosa to Japan. 3 Indemnity of 300,000,000 taels (Chinese com, worth Si. 33.) 4 Permanent occupation of Port Arthur and immediate contiguous territory'. o A new Japanese, Chinese treaty opening the interior of China to commerce. The money indemnity is expressed in Chinese taels instead of Japanese yen. The tael is in reality a weight instead of i coin. It is considered silver money. While the face value at $1.33 would be equivalent to $390,000,000 in silver it is said the actual value would be between $210,- 000,000 and $220 ,000,000 in gold. The fifth term as to the new treaty includes various trade features such as free access to Chinese rivers. There is no demand for territory on the mainland outside of Port Arthur and its contiguous surroundings. The Income Tax. Washington, D. C, April 9. Since the delivery of the income tax decision, attorneys and others inter ested in overthrowing the tax, have taken steps to test the various parts of the law in further proceedings. Attacks will be made both, on the portions that were sustained by a tie vote, and on some fresh joints not passed ujon, in particular, cases de cided yesterday. Attorney J. M. Wilson, who represented John G. Moore, in the Court of Appeals in the recent cases, said this morning that further proceedings would be taken immediately. "Several parts of the law will lie attacked," said he, "the principal one being the exemp tion from taxation of incomes under $4,000 annually. This will le at tacked as an unjust discrimination. Suit will be instituted very soon, probably within a few days, and will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Fifteen People Killed in an Explosion. New Okleans, April 5. An ex plosion of powder in Charles J.

At four o'clock the following bodies had been re moved: Charles J. Salathe and wife; Joseph Crinaldi, Mike Biri, Felix Piga. Fire followed the explo sion, l ne street m trout ol tne store was lined by market wagons. The drivers were hurled from their seats and their wares were blow n to the four winds. A child of Salathe as tonished evervlodv by walking out of the wreck in its night clothes af ter the engines had been at work on the ruins five minutes. The child had been sleeping iu a bedroom di rectly over the explosion. DESTRUCTIVE IXOODS. The Proposed Impeachment of Got. Clarke. Little ItocK, Ark., April 10. A 1 . I L I 111 J.

The wa ter in the Delaware river reached twenty-seven feet above low water mark this morning, thw highest known since 1870 The electric cars were compelled to stop running, as the water is in the Edison station and the machinery is useless All indus tries in Odenweldertow n are closed down. People living ou Front street in this city, have been compelled to move to their second stories for the first time in fifteen years Consid erable damage has been done , to re taining walls of the larger buildings on Front street, and there is danger of some of them collapsing. Many frame outbuildings have already been carried away. Keports from up the river show it is still rising Troy, N. Y., April 10. The biggest freshet seen in the Hudson in years is now threatening this point. The water began to rise rapidly yes terday afternoon and a heavy raiu which fell last night added to the Hood from the melting snow and ice north of here. The water is 14 feet above low tide mark and all docks are submerged. The dock of the citizens steamboat line is away under water. All ferries have suspended and considerably damage been done to propel ty in the cellars of ware houses. Bordextowx, X. J., April 10. There is a heavy freshet in the Del aware river at this place. Piers and docks are submerged and one and a half miles of railroad bed on the Am boy division of the Pennsylvania Railroad between this place and Trenton is under water. The Dela ware and Uaritan Canal docks are covered with water to the depth of 3 feet, Sch.veciiady, N. Y., April 10. A thaw and heavy rains caused the water in the Mohaw k river to rise last night higher than it has reached for several years. The entire valley is ihoded and the losses will be very heavy. A Successful Farmer. Mr. A. J. Clark, of Sandy Kidge township, is not a "book fanner," in the common definition of that term, for the socalled book fanner has a great deal of theory and very liltle practical sense. Air. Clark, however, is a farmer w ho keeps books and knows what he is doing. The fol lowing will show what can be done with some of the minor branches of farming. In the spring of 18S3 Mr. Clark started with two small pigs. In 1894 he raised from that pair seventeen pigs, sold four of them for $9.50, killed 1550 pounds of pork and had five pigs left worth $5.00 each, making the total valua tion of meat and hogs $127.50. Mrs. Clark has charge of the cow s and chickens and the following is a statement of her income from those sources. Commencing three years ago with three cow s, she has sold 805 pounds of butter and has realized .$102.15 from the sales, and has raised nine calves. On an average during three years but two cows have been milked. Owing to the distance from market no milk has been sold. She keeps about thirty hens and during the past three years she sold 760 dozen eggs for which she has been paid $77.08, making a total of $239.23 for butter and eggs. Besides the butter and eggs sold, Mrs. Clark has had her table well supplied with those necessities all the time. No one will be more sur prised than Mrs. Clark to see this statement, for we have the fig ures from Messrs. Whitefield Bros,, to whom she has sold her produce. Monroe Enquirer. Men. 10.

February was no less than 12 degrees below the normal temperature, with a consider able snow-fall. The last week of February was fine, and planting of truck began in the east, but every thing was delayed by wet weather in March. The season is now very backward, and farmers are obliged to push preparation of the soil as rapid ly as possible. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the week ending Monday, April 8, 1895, indicate a favorable week, enabling farmers to make considerable progress with work. The temperature was below normal the last few days of the week, with frosts on mornings of 4th and 5th, which did but little dam- age, killing a lew peaenes in me west. The pfospect for a large fruit crop was never better. Though the season opens late, as there is very little probability for another killing frost, the prospects are good. Left Her Child In the Court Honse. During the session of Davie county commissioners this week, a colored woman went before the Board with a babv claiminar she was not able to support it and asked that they make an allowance for its support. This they refused to do, whereupon the inhuman mother placed the child in the door and departed. The child is now iu charge of some of the colored people in Mocks ville and if the mother does not return for itwhich is not very likely, the child will have to be sent to the county home, says the Davie Times. THE INCOME TAX DECISION'. IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN SO .UK RKSPEt TS, Bat Will Stand Except as o Rents, and State, County and Municipal Hoods Justice Flelis Dlksentiog Opinion The Oscar Wilde Scandal Grow The De mands of Japan The News of To-Dar by Wire. V ashxxotox, D. C, Aprils. rut, . t t , , , -tue opinion oi justice lulleras read for the first hour was historical. The court tit one o'clock had reached this conclusion: The court can find no difference between the tax on land itself and the tax on rents or income derived from land. The court there fore, is of the opinion that the tax on rents or landed investments a direct tax and unconstitutional. Chief Justice Fuller announced the decision of the court on the in come tax cases today. He began bv stating the exceptions to the law as made by counsel for the appellant, as follows: 1 That the act im joses a direct tax in respect of real estate rents, issues and profits as well as income and profits of personal property and not being apportioned is in violation of section two, of ar ticle one. of the Constitution. 2 That the law if not imposing a direct tax is nevertheless unconstitu tional in that its provisions are not uniform throughout the United States and do not operate with the same force and effect upon the sub ject of tax wherever found, and in that it provides exemptions in favor of individuals and co-partnership while denying all exemptions to cor jioratious having similar income derived from like properly and val ues, and provides for other exemp tions and inequalities in violation of J Section eight, of article one of Con stitution. 3 That the act provides no ex emption of tax upon incomes derived from stocks and bonds of the states of the United States and counties and municipalities therein, which s-tot-ks and bonds are not proper subjects for the taxing power of Congress. The income from these securities iu the United States amounts to over $i3, 000,000 per annum on which the total annualjncomc tax would be $1, 300.000. He then took lip the con stitutional joints involved and dwelt upon the fact that the Constitution required the appointment of direct taxes and uniformity in excises and imposts. He also dwelt upon the question of representation and taxa tion, which was, he said, a foremost one when the Constitution was adopted. He then took up the question of tax on rents and in so doing discuss- t."d at lons'.derable length the ques tion of direct taxes as considered at the time of the framing of the Con stitution. The framers of Consti tution were, he said, well versed in the government of colonies and of European countries, and were well versed in the literature of the period including works on political econo my and well calculated to pass intel ligently on this kind. The Court next decided that the tax was unconstitutional so far as it is related to income from state, coun ty or municipal bonds. It next ruled that the fact that the law was pronounced unconstitutional in these two particulars did not invalidate the law as a whole. It was announ ced that in the latter conclusion the ouit is equally divided and therefoie rendered no opinion. The lower court having ruled in favor of the law bv a divided court, the law would stand except as to rent, state, county and municipal bonds and on these two points it was directed that the judgment below be reversed. 3 p. in Justice Feld is now read ing the dissenting opinion but his voice is so low that it is difficult to hear him. He quoted various su preme court decisions and sought to show that while the income tax question had been liefore the court, the question had only been considei- ed as applying to a point at issue in particular cases. Coming down to prevent tariff act, he said that the law was passed in a time of profound peace and it was to be taken as evi dence that Congress had sought in this matter to form a precedent and establish a departure from the estab lished lines and it therefore became important to inquire into the cir cumstances with some attention to detail and for the purpose of com parison. He went back to the enactment of an income tax during the civil war. He quoted from the decision in the Springer case, giving a history of the case and devoting much attention to it, as he said that it was upon this case that the de fense had apparently relied upon more generally than any precedent It is, he said, eonecued in ail cases from Ilyltou to Spriuger, that taxei on land" are direct taxes, while in some of them it is determined that taxes on rents derived from land are indirect taxes. Was there, he asked, any distinction between a tax on land or income derived from land? What, in other words, was land but profit on it The name of the tax is unimportant and court has been unable to see any distinction. He closed by saying that the court had reached the con elusion that tax i on rents was in volved. The Chief Justice then took up the question of taxation of muni cipal and state bonds. The decision was also adverse to this part or tne law as repugnant to the constitution On other points the court was divid ed and therefore no opinion could be given. TO PROMOTE FREE COINAGE.

C is not far distant when this State will be the theatre of great mining enterprises. More gold than has ever been taken from California is in our western hills, but it cannot be mined because it can be separated from the pyrites only at great cost Men are working now to get a meth od of lessening the cost of this pro cess; and the announcement that they have succeeded is hopefully looked forward to. When the State becomes thickly populated, the market for our prod ucts will be nearer to the farms. thus ma kins; prices better. When there are enough factories in North Carolina to consume our cotton, enough people to consume our meal, flour and meat, this will be the rich est State in the South, and farms will be -worth fortunes. And it all may come true, if half our water p jwer is utilized, and only a begin ning is maue toward getting the mineral wealth from our hills. It seems that the State is certain to become thickly populated: and more thickly than any State in the South, since it has more to grow ou. With all these things the State will not go far forward unless na tive JV.rth Caroliiians take the first teps. if the North Carolina money that vanished in Virginia "boom towns" had been put into North Carolina resources, manv investors would be better off and our State would be richer. Outside capital will not come iu until it becomes known that North Carolinians are successfully investing in the State. The development of North Caro lina is the opiortunity and the duty of the young men of North Caroli na. Biblical Recorder. Liimctalism Growing. l'he bimetallic idea is evidently on the grow.

Our readers know of its pi ead in England.

Can that be his purpose? Where is the )eniocratic platform which he ac- epted as binding in 1892.

He noticed that the bridesmaid was deeply affected. When ed to sign her name as a witness to the contract Justice Murphy saw her name and that of the groom were the same. He asked if they were re latives, and she, with deep emotion, replied that she was his former wife. Chicago Daily Tribune. The Greatest Railroad Builders.
