Wilmington Messenger. Interest in what the new Legislature will do is unbated. 'Your correspondent has interviewed three persons in regard to the matter. Here is what Mr. S. Otho Wilson said: ' 'First of all the Legislature will enact an election law whieh will as nearly as possible give all parties an equal chance. I do not think anything will be done which will not meet with the approval of every honest and patriotic citizen of the State who loves home and country more than party. I believe that the standing army, alias State Guard, will be very materially reduced as far as State appropriations are concerned; that the Eailway Commission, Agricultural Department and other Stite Institutions will be so altered or amended as to make them more effective." Mr J. ,C. L. Harris said: 'Of couxe the new Legislature will enact a new election law, not all on , partisan lines, to give a fair election, ! with no advantage to either side. It will rexeal the county government law and restore to the people the election of commissioners, magistrates and school committeemen, but will put a complete check on the commissioners by creating in each county a board of audit and finance, I do not think the Eailway Commission will be disturbed. No doubt there is some sentiment in favor of repealing the commission act for a few days to get the present incum bents out of offce, amid then re-enacting the law. But I do not think there will be any such tearing down and building up. No doubt there is now more opposition to State aid to the University than ever before, but I doubt that the Legislature will go so far as to withdraw the appropriation. That would kill the University. As to the election of United States Senator, Butler will get the long term without any ob jection. As to the short term, there will be a spirited contest, in which Pritchard, Ewart, Mott and Dockery will be the principal figures. As to the continuance of the Agricultural De partment that will depend on what J the farmers say, There is a considerable sentiment that it is of no use, save to prevent fertilizer frauds, and that the remainder of it should be abolished. The museum would of course be retained. Whenever it can be done there will be changes of the officers of the public institutions. The Legisla ture may take hold of the penitentiary question, confessedly a great problem. If the Legislature had the courage to pass a law abolishing the penitentiary and restoring the whipping post, and get-this matter before the people in or der that it could be voted on, it would be ratified bv an overwhelming vote The negroes .'themselves would vote for it almost unanimously. In fact there would be no opposition worth speaking of. Four months public schools will certainly be provided for if this can be done without increasing taxes. It is the purpose to cut down largely the ex penses of government. 1ms will oe particularly the case in regard to tne cost of criminal prosecutions. I think the Legislature will give solicitors sala ries. A bill can be drawn to do this, and to get fees from criminals, the fees to be paid into the State Treasury. The expense on account of the criminal docket can be cut on one-thud if not one-half. The jurisdiction of magis trates will be enlarged in various ways, and they wHl be given authority to try cases by a jury where there is a contest. A new code will very probably be or dered. There is a great demand for one. The present one was made in 1883, and has been so amended as to be of small value. The office of county superinten dent of public instructions will probably be abolished and its duties placed under the charge of the chairman of county commissioners. The county boards of education will also probablyibe abolished . The charters pf many cities and towns, such as Wilmington, Raleigh, etc., will be amended, ,The Legislature will be conservative, and will hold the State by deserving to do so. it will not enact a dispensary. It will do nothing to make the State uncertain. Hon. F. M. Simmons, ex-State chair man said: "If Butler and Mott can control "the Legislature it will be rather conserva tive, because it will be to their interest to have it so, but there may be a divis ion $U the question of patronage so that tney cannot control it. Such a division would open the flood gates to radical legislation. If the Legislature gets away from the leaders on this matter they will absolutely lose control. The members are mainly new men. Butler andM'ott will give their personal and contant attention and make a great effort to control the body. There is lit tie patronage save by abolishing county government, destroying and then build ing up the railway commission and making changes of officers of the penal and charitable institutions. Butler has great power: it is ten times more abso lute than that of any Republican. So far as I know, he will be elected Sena tor, if the bargain made at Rutherford- ton is carried out. The Republicans recognize Butler as in absolute control of the Populists and able to speak for that party. But he does not recognize any one of them as at all absolute. It was agreed at Rutherfordton that Populist and a Republican should be Senator, but no ne was named. To have named any Republican might have made some members of that party ' 'luke warm.

The wonderful strides which 4 the manufacturing interest in North Caro- ma has made m the last few years, and the great profit which manufacturers have accumulated, has caused this in terest iu that State to be, if not the lead ing industry, one which is forcing its way to the front at a rapid rate.

Last season tney were oblie-ed to decline some orders in justice to their customers. This speaks very loudly the praises of this concern, and while other manufacturers were closed they were running overtime. . The Boot and Shoe Reportsng Co's statistics show this firm to be doing the largest volume of business of any manufactur er selling to the retail trade from Boston which is the heart of the boot and shoe industry of the country. This means in these daya of competition; that up to date styles, courteous treatment, and prices lower than others care to offer makes success. that a cotton spindle can be run in North Carolina for less money than the average cost of running it in the United States,! and a great deal cheaper than in many (other States. 1 Manufacturing is now largely done by steam power, and a great deal of the fuel coming from the coal fields of lr- ginia, : wnue sne nas so many nne undeveloped water powers, which when properly developed, will enable the manufacturers not only to reduce the cpst of the production, but will ena ble them to successfully compete with the large ' plants now in the North, which are run by water power. It is only recently that the Northern manu facturers have considered that the Southern cotton mills were really com petitors of theirs, but it is now well known that inasmuch as the majority of the cotton mills in the South are new mills, and are of course equipped with the very best and latest machinery that is on the market, it is at this late' day, that the Northern Manufacturer is be ginning to realize that he not only has opposition in the South, but that it is of the most formidable kind ; in fact, the South is spinning about 31 percent of all tne cotton spun in the United States. Skilled labor, until within the last last few years, wS comparatively un known in the South, while to-day, many of her best and most intelligent young men are engaged in taking courses in the cotton mills, beginning at the bottom and working upwasaft, be lieving that the future offers them bet ter compensation from' this line of busi ness than from any other source. It is for these reasons and many more equally as good that has turned the thinking minds in North Carolina in the direction of her water powers, and we understand that at the coming Leg islature the development of her water powers will form one of the most im portant subjects that will be placed be foie it for its consideration ; and should the Legislature see proper to extend its aid in this direction, we may look for ward to this State taking a leading place in the near future, as a manu facturing State. W. M. Smith, of Cqncord. N. g., has secured bv options, the leading water power in the State the Narrows and Falls on the Yadkin river, a power, ac cording to the report of Government Engineers, of 40,000 horse power, and has agreed with some of the leading of ficials in the State, that if the State de sires to develop it as a State institution, that they can have the property at the price which it has been optioned to him. But should the State decline to undertake the development of it as a State institution, doubtless this and many of her fine water powers will soon be developed by private corporations, aided in some way by the State, so that we may look forward to see something of great interewt-to the public come from this direction at an early day With the transmission of electricity perfected , and the good results that are near at hand, from the . improvements at-Niagara, Austin, Texas, Augusta, Ga,, and other points, it is reasonable for the financial world to turn its atten tion in the direction of North Carolina water powers. S. Death of Dr. Abernothy. Rutherford College.N. C, Nov. 28. Dr. Robert L. Abernethy. President of Rutherford College died here to-day. Dr. Abernethy has suffered bodily afflic tion all his life, but he has been unusu ally feeble for some time. The deceased was 72 years old, having been born in Lineoln county, April 3, 1822. His surroundings were very humble, though his parents were of ancient and honora ble ancestry. By his own efforts Dr. Abernethy se cured the rudiments pf an education, and his whole life has been a striking example of a self-made mari ne received his degree from lrinity College in 1869 and has ever since de voted his life to teaching. He founded and built up Rutherford College, which began as ia school of eight pupils. Over 2,000 indigent students have since been gratuitously educated here . In 1880 Dr. Abernethy had the de gree of D. D. conferred upon him by Alfred University, New York. He was greatly loved and honored by the people of his State. up future use again in . the same place. But new fencing material just bought and never attached to the soil, would not pass. So piles of hop poles -stored away, if once used on the land and in tended to be again so used, have been considered a part of it, but loose boards or scaffold poles merely laid across the beams of the barn and never fastened to it, would not be, and the seller of the farm might take them away. Standing trees of course1 also pass as part of the land ; so. do' trees blown pdown or cut down, and still left in the woods where they fell, but not if cut and corded up for sale;1 the wood has then become personal property. If there be any manure in the' barn yard, or in the compost heap on the field, ready for immediate use, tne buyer ordinarily, and in the absence of any contrary agreement, takes that also1 as belonging to the farm though it might not be so if the owner had previously sold it to some other party, and has: collected it together' in a heap by itself , for such an act might be a technical severance from the soil and so convert real into personal estate, and even lessee of a farm could not take away the manure made on the place while he was in occupation. Urowing crops aiso pass by the deed of a farm, unless they are expressly reserved ; and when it is not intended to convey these, it should be so stated in the deed itself ; a mere oral agreement to that ' effect would not be in the most States valid in law. Another mode is to stipulate that pos sion is not to be given until some future day, in which case the crops or manure may be removed before that time. As to the buildings on the farm, though generally mentioned in the deed, it is not absolutely necessary they should be. A deed of land ordinarily carries all the buildings on it belonging to the grantor, whether mentioned or MAY THE DEVIL, TAKE ME. In a Caravan town of the most pro nounced Catholic ortdodoxy the priest preached lately against the Baptists and related such horrible things about them tnat his pious hearers were hterly horri fied at the Baptists' impieties. At last the preacher cried out: "The Baptists are so vile that they all will be. cast into the pit, and if what I say is not true may the devil take me now on the spot!" His excitement was terrible, and he so struck the cushion that the book fell from it. Not far from the pulpit there sat an American who had a negro ser vant with him to whom he beckoned to take the book up to the priest, who perhaps had never seen one of those sons of Ham m his life. The negro at once obeyed, and as he mounted the the lowest of the pulpit Bteps the elergy man repeated his wish, that the devil might come and take , hint if what he said against the Baptists was, not true - Although the negro went softly, the preacher heard his footsteps and turning around, saw a black object solemnly, steadily, and surely approaching him He looked at him with terror, and be lieving that he would be the next instant colored by his Satanic Majesty, he cried outwith a trembling voice, "It is after all possible that there may be good peo ple among the Baptists." Turning then around to see if the object had dis appeared, he saw it still " steadily ap proaching. The perspiration burst out upon his brow, and full of despair, he called out: "There are even many good people among the Baptists!" Thinking that this would suffice, he turned around, but what was his horrpr to find the ob ject was close at hand, and turning partly to the negro and partly to the congregation, he cried out, "May the devil come and take me if all the Bap tists are not better than we are!" The terrified priest fainted . from the fright and it was only after some time that he recovered. THE FUST Al. REPORT. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

Qlen Mifler, in the December Foruai. With the division.of the Mormons on national party-lines, the renunciation of their obnoxious creed, and the in auguration of "the era pi good feeling in Utah, there has been a co cessation of prosecutions for p and numbers of old-time offei resumed relation with their wives, with practical immuni punishment. But thepron of pol- its social respectability and exaltation as a religious virtue, has been taken away These old pulygamists visit their younger wives precisely as a married man in an Eastern community might consort with a mistress quietly and stealthily, nt openly or boastfully as formerly. Their conduct is under the ban of the Church, and since it is no longer mstihed by a religious principle, is regarded simply as an affair of lust or Of affection for former associations too strong to with stand. We find a close analogy to this condition of things in the 'prohibition States where, in "Spite of strmgent laws, the old toper undergoes any humiliation to secure his favorite beverage. Humam nature does not differ greatly in New York, Massachusetts, Kansas, or Utah But, with the passing away of the pres ent generation, the last vestige of poly gamy will disappear. No edict of the Church could restore it. An insur mountable barrier in the way of its re sumption is arising in the social amal gation of Gentiles and Mormons. Intermarriages between the two clssses have rapidly increased under tbte new conditions. Within a decade, the 'dis tinguisnieg characteristics of Mormon ism will be no stronger in Utah than the distinguishing characteristics of Catholicism, Presbyterianism, or Methodism. The Efficient Service of the Free Delivery System. llrrescondence Charlotte Observer. Washington, Nov. 28. The press as sociation keeps its readers posted as to the departmental reports and it is only occasionally necessary for the special correspondent to emphasize a statement m any of these long and necessarily te dious documents. The report of the Postmaster General is, .however, full of suggestive matter and I venture to cull here and there at some slight risk of re capitulation. He says of the free de livery system that it is now believed to be in excellent condition at all offices where established. He calls sttention to his order of June 28, 1894, that no letter carrier should be removed except for cause and upon written charges filed with the Department and of which the carrier should have full notice and opportunity to make defence. The or der accords the accused letter carrier a right never before recognized. The Postmaster General repeats his recom mendation against experimental free delivery. He now recommends that it be discontirued at the end of the cur rent fiscal yen. No tests were made under the ten thousand dollar appropri ation for rural free delivery, as the sum was altogether too small and would have resulted in waste of money. The ieople, it is said, are not ready to be involved in the expenditure of $20,000 000 for the first year, the estimated cost if the proposed plan was adopted.

An Irishman, who 'had provided himself with a huge horsepistol, and taken to the road to replenish his ex chequer, met a farmer returning from the niarket with a bag of money. "Your money or your life!" de manded 1 at, presenting the pistol in the usual way. The farmer chanced to he a Quaker, and he essayed to temporize. "I would not have thee stain thy soul with sin. friend, ".said he ; "and didst thou kill me, it would be murder. Uut hold ! A bargin is no sin, but a commerce be tween two honest men. I will give thee this bag of gold for the pistol which thou holdest at my ear." The unsuspecting amateur highway man made the change without a mo ment's hesitation. "Now, friend," cried the wily Eph- raim, leveling the weapon, "give me back my gold, or I'll blow thy brains out?" "Blaze away, then, darlint !" said Pat. "Sure there's niver a dhrop of powther in it! " Two Generally Accepted Ideas Which Ex perience Shows to be False. Scribner. Familiarity with death is apt to alter one s earlier conceptions of it. Two ideas are very generally accepted which experience shows to be false. One is that the d,vmg usually, fear death and the other that the act of dying is ac companied by pain. It is well known to all physicians that when death is near, its terrors do not seem to be felt by the patient. Unless the imagination is stimulated by the frightful portrayal of the supposed "pangs of death," or of the Bufferings which some believe the soul must endure after dissolution, it is rare indeed that the last days or hours of life are passed in dread. OliverWendellHolmes has recorded his protest against the custom of telling a person who does not actually ask to lfnow that he cannot recover. As that loving observer of mankind asserts so must every, one who knows whereof he speaks asserts that people almost always come to understand that recovery is impossible ; it is rarely needful to tell any j one that this is the case.

Associate Justice, W, A Johnson, of the Supreme Court, who was re-elected November 6th, for a term of six years, announced yesterday that he had returned his pas ses, and will receive no more from rail road corporations. - j He says: -'Heretofore when a pass has been given me, in pursuance of the general custom, I have used it without any hesitation and without any fear of loss of my integrity, or of the respect and confidence of others. I do not now use passes, and have not used them since I heard during last summer, the first serious suggestion from a litigant in this court that the acceptance of these courtesies prejudiced his interest here. hue I think there is no inhe rent wrong in the use of passes, as they had been given in this State, and that no honest judge is influenced by such favors, I shall certainly decline the use of them because of recently expressed objections to their use by the judiciary, that course seeming to be one that will most surelv guard against1 an v loss of perfect confidence in our-courts." The W. C. T. V. and Mrs. Clereland. Indianapolis Journal. ' it is a great pity that a good cause like that of temperance, cannot always be advocrated with a reasonable amount of good sense arid moderation. We are led to this remark by the foolish speech es made at Cleveland by members of the convention of The Woman's Chris tian Union in derciciation of Mrs Cleveland for following the time-honored custom in the naming of ships. What possible harm could come of cracking a bottle of champagne, and American champagne at that, against against the prow of an iron-clad, sane people will not find it-difficult to dis cover, lhis is Mrs. Cleveland b crime. and her only crime. She did not drink the wine herself. She did not tempt some poor, weak man into drinking She simply threw it away. And yet these good women who think they have the cause of temperance in their special keeping, denounce her as though she had perpetrated some awful iniquity All of which is very sad and foolish. It is sad because it puts a powerful weap on that of ridicule into the hands of the ungodly, And it is foolish because the women have put a stumbling block in their own way. But Mrs. Cleveland is all righL Remember the Poor. Blessed is he that considereth the poor ! The Lord will deliver him in every time of trouble. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle ahd who shall dwell in thy holy hill ? He that walk eth uprightly, and worketh righteous ness, and speaketh the .truth in his heart : he that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doth evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against a neighbor ; in whose eyes a vile person is contemned who putteth not out his money to usury . nor taketh a bribe against the innocent he that doeth these things shall not be moved forever and ever. lie Got ills Receipt. "What are you waiting for?" said a Cherokee lawyer to an Indian who had paid, him money. - "Receipt," Baid the Indian. tfA receipt ! What do you know about a receipt ? Can you understand the nature of a a receipt ? Tell me the nature of one and I will give ittoyou," rephed the young lawyer, "S'pose maybe me die ; me go ,to heben : me find the gates locked ; me see 'Postle Peter ; he say, 'Jim, what you want?' Me say, 'WTant to get in.' 'You pay A that money ? '' What me do? I hab no receipt ; hab to hunt all over hell to find you." He got his receipt. assertions of its painfulness are made. Most people are unconscious for hours before they die ; and in the rare cases where consciousness is retained unimpaired until a few minutes before the end the last, sensation must be of perfect calm and rest. It it worse than cruel to add to the natural dread of of death which oppresses the majority of us while in good health the dread of dying. A Word About Our New Congressman.
