You call the attention of fan noro noil wage earners to the fact that the rising prices, w hile enabling them to sell their products and labor at a higher price,-will also cause them to pay equally more for what they may purchase, but you neglect to sav that your statement- is tut applicable to debts.

'If it is an injustice to restore rices so' 1 hat people can exchange their propertv for a sufficient num- er of dollars to pay their debts and rin; happiness and prosperity to our land again, it was a great injus- ice to destroy the value of propertv and enhance the value of money bv the demonetization of silver and the establishment of a single gold stand- ard.

We agree with you that it is time for the people to reason together and to that end we respect fully ask that you make it possible or them to get printed copies of the ict of 1702 on which our forefathers based our financial system and suIk sequent acts, together with the act of 1893 that reversed the former policy and acts subsequent thereto, is well as all statistical and other information of an official nature at Washington that bears thereon.

John Daniron was the contractor and his bid was $10,9fK): By the terms of the contract, he obligated himself to complete the bnildiug by January, 1M4. lie tailed to do so, however. ihe commissioners made changes which required au additional expen diture of $000, making the total cost $11,.")90. The building was comple ted in 1S4S. In the meantime, the commissioners and the contractor got into a lawsuit which lasted eight years, ami which was finally ended at Shelby, the contractor being the winner. It was alleged that the foundation of the building was un stable. That the . contractor won a righteous light has been evidenced bv Mie durability of his work, Many of our citizens had come to believe that the bouse that Damron built was destined to survive even the wreck of worlds. There is a trick about the four (all and massive pillars supporting the facade of the old building that will lie revealed to the public when thev are torn down. They are laid on heavv granite Inises and are ap parently of solid ma-o.irv, but thev have a heart of pine.

All were present except the latter. The matter of the loca tion for the new building had been pretty thoroughly canvassed by the committee, and their meeting today was merely to ratify tLeir decision that it be built on the present site. Only one other site hail been serious ly considered, and that is Mrs Fox's property, on West Trade street, west of the First Presbyterian church, and almost opposite the governmet building. The odds, though, were all iu favor of the old court house site. Mr. Weddington, as chairman of the committee, was ordered to at once advertise for bids ou plans and speciticatione for the new court house. It is to cost $50,000, and work is to le commenced" with as little delay as jioss ible. Lotlo Le'ter. For Thf. News. Mrs. Henrietta Shelby, is visiting friends and relatives at Lumberton, this week.

Washikgton, D. C, April. It is silted by the diplomatic officials that the extension of the Japan-China armistice to May 8, is m order that the peace terms may be ratified by the respective governments. I hi brings out for the Hrst time that the action of the peace envoys was not cohclnsive, and that there is still a prossibilitv for a failure to ratify the agreements. Accompanying this are reports of a popular agitation in Japan against the peace terms aud the suppression of many newspapers which assail the govern men t. This expression of popular sentiment, coming at a tin:e when the Japanese parliament will be called ou to accept or reject the agreement, causes some misapprehension as to the outcome, though the government isexpccted to prevail and carry out its pro gramma It was feared from the outset of the negotiations that the military element of Japan, encour aged by their constant victories and supported by the universal war spirit among the people, could not lie easily induced to accept moderate terms of peace.

Scoop 150,000,000 In G Id Beside In p r an Terrlt ry-To Establish Cotton aud Other Factories. Washington,- April 17. The Chineselinperial edict froniTiea-Tsin is accepted among the officials and diplomats here as setting at rest all conflicting rejiorts as to the final terms of peace and as showing that the first reports via London weie in accurate in their details. An indem nity of 200,000,000 taels is the com promise. Japan" at first demanded 31)0,000,000 taels but on the solicita tion of Prince Li, Threw tiff 100,000, OOO. The indemnity is equal to $300,000,000 Mexican silver or $150,000,000 in gold. The edict says that Japan is to occupy the Liao Tung peninsular up to Wie for tieth degree of latitude. This settles th important point that she is to have a great fortress at Port Arthur and the immediate surrounding ter ritory. The Liao Tung peninsular is a small point of land Southward into the Gulf of Sechilli with Port Arthur at the extreme point. The Edict does not state whether Japan gets this acqui sition permanently, or until the in deniinty is paid. She has contended for having it permanently as it would give Japan command of the Gulf of echilli, leading to Peking. If the occupation is temporary, it will give Japan the military command over China as long as the occupation lasts. The permanent occupation of the island of Formosa has been set tled for some time. The owning of Peking and four new ports to com merce marks tne introduction ot modern methods into interior China. la pan has gained the privilege of establishing cotton and other facto ries iu China, but it remains to be ecu whether capital will invest in these industries.

The April reiwrtof the statistician of the Department of Agriculture makes the average condition of win ter wheat on the 1st. of April 81.4 igainst Sfi.T last year. It was 77.4 ti IS'.:?, sl.- in lS!-, and !.! for .he year 18tH. The average for rye s 87.0. The averages of wheat for the principal States are: New York, 02: Pennsylvania, 72; Kentucky, 80: Ohio, 8li; Michigan, 78; Indiana, H'.h Illinois, 87; Missouri, 80; Kansas, 53: .Nebraska, 45; California, 04. Generally the past winter has been hard on wheat The fall of 1804 was a dry one and not favorable in many States either to germination or to the maintenance of the vitality of the planL The spring has also been drotighty over extensive areas. Much good has been produced by the rains in the latter part of March, particularly iu the States of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. Mod-1 crate rains also fell in Nebraska and South Dakota. It is reported, how ever, that the soil was so dry and had suffered so long from drought that it will require much heavier rains to produce any jiernianent effect. The average date for seeding the whole country was October 0th. Very little damage from the Hession ily is reported. Alleged Plot to AsHininate the President ol the Krpublic. Paris, April 18. The Petit Journal announces that it has good authority for stating that the pre fecture of police has detailed a iium b.r of dett c ives tojinvestigatean anar chistic plot the object of which is or was the assassination of the President of Bepublic, during the fetes at Havre in honor of his visit to that city. According to Petet Journal an an archist known as "Petito Berdeaux," a man of a type similar to Caseroe, and a Bavachol anarchist who was executed after having been convicted of lieing concerned iu the dynamite outrages, left the city of Ixmdon re cently, on his way to Havre, in order to assissiuate the President. Petite Bordeaux who is a deserter from the French army was watched by the London jiolice and by French detec tives detailed to keep an eye on the anarchists in Loudon. Conseqvently his departure from London was probably signalled to the police of Paris and of Havre. The authorities of these two cities and elsewhere are taking most active precautions iu order to protect the President from injury. Ingal a Out and Oot for Free Coinage. Macon, Mo., April 18.

Between 12 and 1 o clock, two colored girls- Aiary ami Amanda Urawrord passed through the woods by the. spring. They emerged from the woods in a highly excited state aud hurried to their home near by. Here they found Harvey and George Crawford, tneir mothers, Sam Williams and Cal Lock. To these the girls told their story. They said that as they passed by the spring one of the white men, Jap Morns, by name, hailed them and attempted to assault Aman da. She escaped from him and the two girls fled. This report incensed the negroes and the four of them went to the spring under the lead ership of Harvey Crawford, who says his intention w'as to arrest Morris, bring him up town and hand him over to an officer. As he approach ed Morris, that individual made a motion as if to draw a pistol and thereupon Crawford fell upon him with a knife. He gave Morris a deep slash across the left arm near the shoulder, and stabbed him under the shoulder blade, the knife jienetrating two inches or more. Morris was taken to his home bleeding profuse ly, aud Crawford came up town and surrendered himself. Morris was not able to appear in the mayor's court this morning, but all the other participants were pres ent. Col. II. C. Jones appeared as counsel for Crawford' and Mr. E. T.

The happiest marriatie ever chron icled in this section of the State was, possibly, that which occurred one day last week at Hat Creek, the con tracting parties being Mrs. Molley Foster, widow ot the late Charles Foster, aud Mr. James Harper, both of that vicinity, says the Lynchburg Advance. The marriage took place amid great rejoicing at the home of the bride, and afterward the happy couple removed to the home of the groom, which was not far distant.

Goldsboro Headlight Si4eter than Sugar. A discovery of more than ordinary interest has been recently made in the Kent laboratory at the Chicago University. A new compound has been found which has sweetening powers in excess of those possessed by saccharine, which was hitherto been .considered the sweetest substance known to chemists. While working upon a series derived from the coal tar products, Dr. H. L. Wheeler happened to touch His pencil to his tongue. He was astonished to hud that it had a very sweet taste. Upon looking about him for the cause, Dr. Wheeler fouud that he had done some writing on a piece of tilter paper ujnm which there was a very small quantity of the material which he had been working with. This led him to look into the matty, and he found that an after taste like that of licorice was notice able. Candy makers aud druggists who have examined the new chemical say it will prove valuable in many ways. mmm- Delos Note. For the News. Col. Billy Knox takes the lead in cotton planting.

BLAND'S REJOINDER. He Say That the President Speak for the Gold Monometallist. Ex-Kepresentative R. P. Bland was seen at his home at Lebanon. mo., yesterday, says the Washington Star and interviewed relative to President Cleveland's letter on sound money. Mr. Bland was shown the salient features of the' President's letter, and said, after perusing it carefully: 'Mr. Cleveland, unfortunately for himself, his party and his country, from the beginning of his adminis tration, nas drawn tne line sharply between the friends of i bimetallism and gold monometallism. In doing so he has forced upon the country a state of affairs that is intolerable to the masses of our people. "Gold monometallism is 8 stench in the nostrils Qf the plain DeoDle. The gold standard may do for the bondholders and the bankers, but the sufferings of the industrial masses consequent from silver de monetization will not be endured onger without a struggle, the like of which this country has not seen since the late civil war. Mr. Cleveland must ' remember that this crystallization and combi nation of the gold standard senti ment and methods has brought dis aster to the people of all gold stan dard countries, and this policy is now ruining this country. It is this state of affairs that has made his ad ministration hateful to the masses of the American people. "Mr. Cleveland s insinuations that the advocates of silver restoration are based on wicked and unpatriotic purposes may do for those whose en- lronments are such as to prevent them from seeing and knowing the utter poverty and distress that is prevailing among the masses of the people, but those who live in the midst of this distress and see daily that the people are suffering will repel with scorn such insinuations."
