CONGORpM. PUBU8HED EVERY THURSDAY - -AT CONCORD. N. C. Bv JOHN B. 8HERRILL, ditor and Proprietor. SUBLIME CHEEK. For the sublimit exhibitions of genuine cheek, commend to us The Geo. P. Eowell Advertising Co., of New York. Recently they sent out to vari ous newspapers in North Carolina a proposition to insert the four inch ad vertisement of Duke's Cigarettes. They offered The Times $10 gross (equal to $7. 50 net) for this advertise ment, and we supjiose some newspapers recived an offer of even a less sum than that. Strange to say, we see that some newspapers have accepted it at this " ridiculously low figure. When news paiers place some estimate on their space .themselves, then, and not until then, will the advertising agent3 and others offer them a .price that is equal to its value. However', the above is a princely of fer compared to one we received from ' this same firm last October. In this they offered us $12 gross, or $9 net, for an eight inch advertisement for one year. We replied stating that we would insert the advertisement for just three limes the amount offered us, and to this letter we have never received any reply. This is the same firm that publishes a newspaper directory, for which .it solicits advertisements at the rate of $150 a page from the same newspapers to which it makes the above insulting propositions. - The South Carolina Legislators in the lower house have demonstrated to the country that they are a set of demago gues and weaklings. Listening to a foolish clamor from the ignorant, the prejudiced and the vicious, they have passed a bill which makes a wholesale cut in the pay of all officers in the State; from Governor down. The Gover nor's salary, which heretofore has been $:;.5()0, is reduced to 2,200. The sal ary of the Chief Justice of the Superior Court is cut down just half from .$4,000 to $':. 0i)0. There is only one redeeming thing about the bill they passed they reduced their own pay from $5 to $3 per day. Even that is more than they are worth; it is evident. The protecting wing of the Civil' Ser vice Commission, will hereafter cover the storekeepers, gaugers and clerks in the internal -revenue service. The ex tension of the rules gx-s into immediate effort. The new extension will embrace 51 S storekeepers, 57S gaugers, 1,T.0 Stortkeeper-gaugers and 15 clerks in the oHices of the collector's, making 2,471 in all. -Deputy Collectors, of w hom there are . W., are not include 1 in this order, nor are the deputies which will he appointed to assist in the collec tion of the income tax. Of the latter, there are expected to be 199 for field work and fiftv-three for service in the offices of Collectors. The Washington correspondent .of the Baltimore Sun comments at .length upon the probable nominees of. the Democratic and Republican parties in 1S9G, These speculations are quite premature, but they are nevertheless in teresting.

There is a rumer afloat that, after the expiration of his present term in Con gress,. Hon John S. Henderson, of the seventh district, will locate in Washing ton for the practice of law. His depart ure from the State would be a great loss toit, as his defeat for re-election last month was something of the nature of a calamity; but Mr. Henderson would doubtless do well in Washington if he should make it his home.

Will Jforth Carolina Have Two Republican Seuators ? Congreu at Work In Ear, nest. North Carolina Personals. No Cloture o Tariff legislation. Siate Boards of Health. Civil Service Extension. ! Washisgton, Dec. 15, '94. The close of the second week in Con gress shows a good record, particularly for the House of Representatives. The House has passed three appropriation bills. Hon. John S. Henderson, chair man of the Post Office Committee has drafted the Fost Office Appropriation Bill and has it ready for his Committee. Hon. Sidney Alexander has secured a favorable report on the Charlotte Mint Park Bill. The Railroad Pooling Bill a measure which was carefully watched by Messrs. Andrews, Galloway, Wilson and other prominent North Carolina railroad men, passed the House by a good majority, every member of our delegation voting for it except Hon. W. T. Crawford. All the members of our delegation are here now, Messrs. Bunn and Branch having arrived Monday. Mr. Woodard has the largest majority of any Demo crat who was re-elected. What is bet ter, he richly deserves the compliment uaid him. His plurality at the recent election was about 5,300 or something like 3,300 greater than two years ago. It has been generally supposed that the second North Carolina district has a majority of negro voters in it. lhat is erroneous. According to the census returns there are fully 1,200 more white voters in the district than colored. It used to be "black district," but the confines Were changed four years ago. Ex-Congressman Cheatham, who ex pects to contest Mr. Woodard's seat, is said to be banking on proving that there are more negroes than whites in the district, and, therefore, he ought, to have been elected. SefTator Ransom spent several days at his home recovering from his wounds. Wednesday-,-Senator. Jarvis voted to take up the sugar bill. He wants to strike out the differential. This bill which is the most widely discussed of the- "pop gun" bills was promptly killed. All the popgun bills are virtually dead. Another effort was made to adopt a cloture resolution which proved futile. Tariff legislation is impossible. The government cannot afford to reduce revenues unless exienses are cut down in the United States Capitol. This is the projicr starting ioint for econo mists, but as the alleged "economists" will be the ones who suffer, the Senators and members will Continue to squander money on themselves.

Nearly $7,000,000 of the $10, 000,.O0 received have been paid for pensions. lhiriy officers of the State .boards of health have been in session at the Eb bitt this week. The North Carolina txar,l is represented by President George Gillett Thoma, of Wilmington, jind Secretary It. II. Iewis, of Raleigh. Dr. Thomas" says he body is apparently a good working one. Its pufj)ose is to consult together, compare systems and suggest matters having reference to inter-State health. The body meets an nually in this city. Dr. Thomas went to Baltimore Friday. The discussion "of the first afterjioon session was opened by a paper by Dr. Ritchard H. Lewis of Raleigh. The President has issued an order 'Hitting store-keepers, gaugers and clerks in offices of collecters of internal revenue in the classified civil service. This increases the list of persons who are thus protected by the civil service by alout 2,iO0'. I wish to heartily commend to my people the following wise advice from Chas. A Dana of the . New York 'Sun. He savs: "The best poliey for the Soutll rners who are suffering from o-cent cotton is to build large cities, establish and extend the manufacturing industries, strive for the enlargement of their trade and commerce, make and use the most improved machinery, de velop their mineral resources and diver sify their crops. There i9 no probability that cotton will ever rise to its old price, and there is more than a probability that it will fall below 5 cents a pound. South is full of men of enterprise who are less enterprising than they might be." , Suppose our "Mary Ann" fails to be Senator Butler after all. That sly and able "son of the Mountains," Hon. Hamilton G. Ewart has been here and convinced the National Republican leaders that the Waterloo in North Carolina was a Republican not a Popu list victory, that North Carolina wants two straight out Republican Senators, and that Republicans intend to reap all the .spoils of the recent election. Ewart left here Saturday for Raleigh where he has opened his campaign on this basis. Bob Douglas, II. C. CowLbs, Tom Reed, John Sherman and others agree with Ewart, This state of things means a lively fight in Raleigh when the Legis lature meets. II. Other IVaebingtcn Notts. Washington', Dec. 17. Once more the Democrats of the House are eivinsr the Demorrnfir Sena tors a lesson how to legislate. While the majority in the Senate has allowed itself to e practically tied up by the minority, the majority jn the House nave neen uoing what they were ent to Washington to do attending to busi ness. Haying heard about everything that cotfld be said for and against the plan of currency reform submitted by Secretary Carlisle, the House committee on Banking and Currency decided that while the plan was not entirely satisfac tory to financial extremists, either gold or silver men, it was better as a whole than any other plan yet brought forward, and more likely to be supported by con servative men as a sort of compromise. Having arrived at that conclusion, the committee determined to report the bill prepared by Secretary Carlisle without recommendation, leaving the House free to amend the bill if it sees fit'. The committee on Rules has mapped out a plan for the consideration of the bill, which will be taken up at once and pushed to a vote. It is already an nounced that the Republicans will offer two amendments for the purpose of try ing to defeat the bill. The first will be to strike out the State bank feature, which is the feature that is most liked by Southern Democrats. The rfext amendment offered will be one provid ing for an immediate issue of bonds large enough to redeem all the green backs and treasury notes of 1890, which may now be used to take gold from the treasury. Present indications are, however, that the' Democrats will vote together to defeat any and all rnents, and. that the bill will pass the House as reported from the committee. Immediately after the late elections a correspondent, more as a. joke than for any other reason, sent a story out of Washington to the effect that the ne groes intended to demand that one of their preachers be elected Chaplain of the next House. The story was widely commented on, and has resulted in the production of a negro candidate for Chaplain of the house, although there is no reason to suppose that such a thing had ever been thought of before that little story was written. There are numerous -reasons why the republicans in the next House may hesitate about tnrning that negro candidate down. Although the Senate has voted against a cloture rule, the idea of obtaining one has not been abandoned by those Dem ocratic Senators who are anxious for the Senate to do something more than pass the appropriation bills at this ses sion. Senator Vest is devoting all the zeal of a convert to-the idea, ancTSena tor Hill, who has always favored cloture, is doing some thinking on the subject that may result in a new assault on the rules. If anything is done it must be done quickly, as the control ,of the Sen ate will no longer be in the hands of the Democrats after the vacancies from the three northwestern States have been filled by the Republican legislatures of these States, and the mixed legislature of North Carolina has elected a successor to Senator Jarvis, who holds his seat by gubernatorial appointment. It is ex pected that these four Senators will take their seats before the end of January.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, once said in a lecture: "Caesar and Cicero are known as scholars; Luther and Wesley are known to and govern all men; Shakespeare is read and admired by millions of menc. John Bunyan is loved and admired by hundreds of mil lions of human souls; the sublime song of 'ParadiselLost,' even may perish, and the 'Elegy in ae Country Churchyard,' but the north star, ceasing to guide the pilot of the sea, shall, following the track of ihe constellation of the Cross, disapiear from the gaze of men beyond the everlasting ices of the pole, and the Bedouin of the desert shall halt his camels upon the disintegrated dust of the loftiest pyramid,, ere little childr-en in every part of the wide earth shall cease to repeat, before going to rest, that simple prayer of some forgotten Christian poet: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray Thee. Lord, my soul lo keep; If I should die before I wake, 1 pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take." No Strike on the Southern. Washington, D. C, December 14. Third Vice-President Baldwin, of the Southern Railway Company, declares that he has no fear whatever of a strike $f the employes or the system as the result of the time and pay schedules. The employes are still working under the schedules in force when the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the Richmond and Danville companies were consolidated, although they differ in running time in other details. Mr. Baldwin told the representatives of the firemen, the engineers and the conductors, who called on him yester day, asking that the change be made and the schedules thereby simplified, that the company wa3 not yet ready to comply with their request, but in due time standard schedules for the whole system would be put in operation.

The life of Senator Vance is to be published in book form, and is to con tain several of his lectures and ad dresses. The National Farmers' Alliance will meet in Raleigh in Februrary. The cornerstone of the Polk monument will be laid. State Treasurer-elect W. H. Worth ' has resigned as State business agent of the Farmer Alliance.

The Democratic Senator and Representative-elect from Halifax county have been served with notice of contest by their late Republican opponents. The fusion Legislature proposes to gerrymander the cities of North Caro lina so as to make Democratic victory in them impcssible in the future. II. G. Ewart last week completed a hst of Legislators-elect, which shows that there are from three to five more Republicans than Populists in that body. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of-Charlotte, surveying the world, comes to the con clusion that the South must make up its mind to grow 5 cent cotton here after. Solicitor John E. Woodard, of the third district, who was given the certifi cate of election by the State canvassers, has written a manly letter to Governor Carr declining to accept it. Senator Ransom sent the Marion suf ferers a personal check last Friday for $50. This is pure charity, and there is more than a politician in such a man as that. He did it without reward or hope of reward. It is probable that Salisbury will soon have another' newspaper. Encouraged by their success in the election last month'' the Republicans are wanting more papers to represent them and the new journal will be of that political faith. '.

The Stanly News says tha t on Wed nesday, the 5th' inst., Mr. Lum Hall was standing on the door-steps .loading his gun when the gun slipped and the hammer struck against the steps.

C Keziah, who lives about four miles north of Newbern, planted three ordinary ears of corn on a certain pjece of land last spring and a few days 'ago gathered and carefully measured the corn to see what the yield was. To his astonishment Mr. Kezia'-i found that the yield was nearly seven thousand fold. The three ears made twenty and three-seventh bushels, says the Journal. I . The Manufacturer's Record says that ; it is authorized by Mr. R. C. Hoffman, president of the Seaboard Air Line, to j positively state that there is no truth : whatever in the reports that have, been circulated to the effect that the South ern RaUway Company had or would absorb the Seaboard system.' Mr. Iloff- man says, that such a proposition has not even been broached to his company and that the only recent conference he has had with the Southern officials, was about cotton rates when President Spencer, of the Southern, was in Baltir moye a few weeks ago.

There is Great division as to who will be the Republican Sena tor, but he 'will come from what is knows as the western division of the State.

The tribal governments seem quite unable, to deal with the sit uation. The low price of cotton is the cause of serious alarm to the Egyptian grow ers. They are unable to pay their taxes, and the price of land in the delta has fallen off considerably. American planters have but to grow corn as well as cotton and they will command the situation. There is no prospect of any legisla tion by Congress during the present short session upon the currency or tariff questions. Any measure that the JJouse might pass would almost inevit ably be hung up in the Senate. Little will be done beyond the passage of the appropriation bills. The Dwight Manufacturing Com pany, of Massachusetts, has selected Alabama City, four miles from Gads den, Ala., as the site for its $500,000 cotton factory, and. the Alabama people want the' other Massachusetts company which is looking $600,000 factory for a location for its to locate there or thereabouts. At 4 o'clock Friday afternoon all the drivers and conductors of the Metropoli tan Street Car Company of Washington Citv, went on a strike. Efforts were made to run some of the cars, but they were thrown from the track1. The cars were taken back to the stables and at night a conference between officers and employees a compromise of $1.75 for twelve hours' work was made. The Southern Railway men want on all the lines composing the Southern Railway the same schedule of pay as was in use on the old Richmond & Dan ville. The officials, however, agree merely to establish a uniform schedule throughout when 'they are able to, with ou: fixing any time-for doing so. Third Vice President Baldwin says he does not fear a strike. ' Internal Revenue Collector Ben John son, anticipating the action of the President placing gaugers, storekeep ers, etc., under civil service rules, had all the men under, him jn the Fifth dis trict sign resignations, to take effect when called for. This slick scheme to get around the rules will not work, and there is a chance that Mr Johnson may lose his job for working it. The mysterious disappearance of ex Congressman Butler, of Iowa, has been accounted for. He was too fond of "keerds," got so heavily in debt that he had mortgaged everything he owned, even to the furniture in his house, and rather than face h's creditors, skipped, leaving his wife and family in poverty,' he in the meantime picking up all the loose change he could before lighting out. - Edward Dudley Duncan, representative-elect from Washington county, Tenn., left Johnson City last week to tramp the whole way to Nashville, a distance of 350 miles.
