MONDAY, FEB. 18, 1889. KKIItESFNTATI VK HEMP HILL.. There is spirit as well as life in the old land yet, and .Representative Hemphill, of South Carolina, is to l)e congratulated and also thanked for the splendid manner in which he demonstrated this fact upon the floor of the House the other day. He (lid not confine himself to a defense of his State or his section, but carried the war into Africa with telling ef fect. lie pursued the course that every Southern Democrat in Congress should pursue. His course was one that will be lauded and admired by every true Southernor and by all Northerners who are opposed to the bloody shirt, outrage-mill war that is continually waged against our section by a certain element at the North. Mr. Hemphill is just the kind of a representative we need in Congress, and we wish we had more there like him. He is conservative and without animosity toward the North, but is always ready to defend h is people from false charges and lying accusations. His mode of de fense, the only one that is at allj cal culated to put a stop to these attacks is to strike back with all his might, blow for blow and not to content himself with merely warding off the blows of his antagonists. We Want peace with the North. Wc are opposed even to a war of words, but wc are most emphatically opposed to purchasing this peace at the expense of our manhood, and wc hope wc will always have such a man as Mr. Hemphill to defend us. move forward hand in hand. The agricultural condition of the South is far from perfect, and great care should be taken to perfect it as far as possible, in order that we may not, at an' future day, become as we once were, or as New England now is dependent on one branch of industry. of TOO RICH. The ManvJ art urerJ Record, of Bal timore, says there is apprehension that the South will get too rich ! Yes, we are too rich now to suit the tastes of a great many who live up in - tlje New England States de scendants of those who made them selves rich trading negroes to the Southern planters. They got rich and we got poor ; that is the waythe thing worked as long as this kind of trading went on, and until these peo ple becoming jealous of our appa rent prosperous condition freed the negro and tried to make him our masters in order to "humble our pride." -Now they find we are recovering 1 rom the wreck and devastation of the late war more rapidly than any one supposed. Our section is beginning to become a manufacturing and mi ning country, and this is a source of alarm to them. They find we, scan manufacture our own cotton cheaper than they can. They find that; steel rails can be turned out ofour furnaces much cheaper than they can make them. They find that their, own manufacturers are turning their faces toward us and arc contemplating moving their factories here to be near the cotton, and the iron ore and the coal. . Since the formation of our goverh merit, the New England States, by means of their manufactories, have been growing rich at the expense of our' agricultural section, and it is a cause of, alarm to them to see the South so rapidly developing its-manufacturing interests. These people well know that their prosperity de pends upon the success of their man ufactories and that our rapid growth in this line is injurious to them. The most prosperous country in the world is the one which is both an agricultural and a manufac turing country. The . South will soon have both of these industries from which to draw her wealth, but while we are advancing our manufacturing interests, we should j not neglect the other. They should The Gypsy aiicl the Oirls. New York Letter in Cleveland Leader. The Misses Evarts, daughters Senator Evarts, tell of a prophecy that has come to pass regarding the next mistress of the White House. It was several winters ago, in Wash-; ington, when thevand the Harrisons' were living there. A party of En-' glish gypsies wandered into the capi tal and established themselves in a suburban stable. The company had a gypsy queen, of course, and she told fortunes. She. looked like a witch.' She let her long, black hair fall down her back and dangle around her swarthy lace. She wore a dingy, nondescript robe. She spoke iii mystic phrases, although her enun: ciation was distinctly cockney. She Was a shrewd creature. i The Misses Evarts wcro with a bevy of girls who visited the gypsy queen with Mrs. Harrison as chap eron. Jt was all for a lark, and the surmise is that one. ot the jocose maidens' found opportunity to give points to the witch'. Anyhow, she knew things about some of them, and used her information quite weirdly. When it came Mrs. Harrison's turn the gypsy took her hand, examined its lines, gazed into her face and said: "In the third generation it shall come to you' Being asked what she meant she talked vaguely, but reiterated a pre diction that something fortunate was going to happen to the lady some thing that would be a repetition of events that had occurred in the fam ily two generations previous.. The Misses Evarts recall this vividly. - OUR EXCHANGES Illustrated Journalism. Foreman of composing-room (speaking through tube to manag ing editor) uYou say you want that article about the woman who killed a bear and three cubs illus trated with a cut of the woman?" Managing editor "Yes, I do." Foreman "What cut shall I use ?" Editor "Where is that cut of Lydia Pinkham that we run in the weekly?" Foreman "It's being used in the first form to illustrate that article on Queen Victoria." "Well, then, run that picture of Harriet Hubbard Ayer lor the wo man who killed the bears." "All right, but what are we going to do for cuts for that article about Joseph Chamberlain and his bride ?" "Well, supposing you run that Cut W. j. Douglas that goes with his 63 shoe ad. for Sir Joseph and that old hand bill cut of Emma Ab bott for his bride." "xVll right ; and I suppose that old cut of the new Colorado Capitol will do for Sir Joseph's castle, Won't it ?'! "Yes, yes ; run anything you can find for the castle.' There's a lot of old cuts in the job room. See if you can find something there for an ar ticle I'm going to send down about the Emperor William and his wife. I guess that old cut we run a few" weeks ago 'of Coquelin and Jane Hading will do." ; "All right, sir ; Hading and Con quelin goes." ; A Parasite in Pork. i . Statesvllle Landmark. Not long ago Mr. E. F. Brady, of Davidson township, killed a hog and detected in the lean parts of the meat myriads of small eggs of the color and size of fig seeds. He sent a sample of the meat to the Agricul tural Experiment Station at Raleigh for analysis and has, received from it the information that the parasite is the cysticercus celhdosa, the imma ture form of the human tape-worm. Dr. H. B. Battle, the director of the Station, writes : "This meat if eaten would result in the introduction of celUdosa in the system, and the formation finally of the destructive tape-worm. Cook ing completely, m ight destroy the cellulosa, but it is not certain. It is best to avoid this meat entirely. Hogs with this infection have what is known as measles." This is valuable information and upon the strength of it our people are cautioned against hog meat in which they find these deposits of eggs as described above of the size, shape and general appearance of fig seeds. Another fact in this connection which ought not to be overlooked is that the value of this analytical work which was done free at the State Experiment Station for Mr. Brady, and of which the public gets the benefit through him, would, if priced according to the bona fide fee of professional chemists, have cost So. Husband This house is as cold as a barn, all the doors "wide .open, the children yelling, no sign of sup per, no Wife Why, my dear, how unreasonable you are.. You are absolutely brutal. The idea of you talking like that after I've worked like a slave the whole after noon trying to finish this "Heaven Bless Our Home" motto for the hall. Washington Crtic. Goldsboro Argus : Mr. W. It. Hol lo well, of this county, has put up this season over five thousand pounds of home-raised meat ; and from the sale of one hog alone, in the way of hams, sausage and lard, he has realized, in round figures, fif ty dollars and five cents. Charlotte Democrat ; In a conver sation a few days since with an old gentleman, a life-long citizen of Ca barrus county, whose head is slightly whitened by the snows of eighty-odd winters, we learned that the winter' oflSoT was, in many respects, like the present one. It was a remarka bly mild one. New Berne Journal: The young scamps who obstructed the public highway on Johnson street, between Craven and Middle, by stretching wires across the sidewalk, succeeded iii throwing a lady violently to the ground and spraining her wrist while returning from prayer meeting Thurs day evening. Complaint has been made to police headquarters, and the blenders will be brought to jus tice. 1 i ilmington Star : The safe in the office! at Capt. Jo. Tavlors livery stable was robbed last SundaV of SI 18 in money. The robbery was not discovered until Monday, and there was not the slightest clue as to the perpetrators. The matter; was kept quiet, however, and a close watch was kept upon all the em ployes j at the stable, and last night, through information given by a col ored boy, the thieves were captured. They are all half-grown negro boys employed at the stables. Laurihburg Enterprise : Dear far mer friends, you own the sheep of the State and you know whatacurse a sheep killing dog is. Why don't you tax the cur and make him pay for his ravages on your llocks ? You now have a chance to enact a law protecting your sheep and saving your purse from loss, why don't you use itj You are not politicians working for a return two years hence, iand what odds is it to you if you uti enact a dog law which will be unpopular with the dog owners? Fayettville Observer : Steam was turned! on at the new cotton factory on Gillespie street a few days since to test the new machinery, when everything moved off like clock work on schedule time. Young Bros', clothing manufactory, as men tioned jin our last issue, commenced operations Monday evening with about thirty or forty hands, and the number will soon be increased, so Mr. Young says, to two hundred. Rumor says Fayetteville is to have another cotton factory in oper ation ere the "leaves begin to turn." Washington Progress : It is stated here that W. B. Adams, who was charged with being one of the mur derers of Joshua Cox, and Joim. M. Newton, who was tried upon the same charge and convicted as acces sory after the fact and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, are now skulking around in ambush on Blount's creek, and that Mr. Wm. Moslender was shot at some days ago by 'some one supposed to have been them or one of them. It is thought that they intend to kill two or three? others in that section and then leave the State. Wilmington Star: A curiosity is on exhibition at Capt. James B. Huggiris' store on Market street. It is a section of an alianthustree which was cut down in front of his resi dence, ion Dock street, which had imbedded in it a complete iron horse shoe. The shoe was found fully five inches from the outer surface of the tree, and near it, also imbedded in the wood, was a staple and the snap of a check rein. Capt, John F. Divine's residence, on Mulberry near Fourth street, was entered by a bur glar last Tuesday night and robbed of money, jewelry and a lot of val uable papers. New Berne Jounal: A letter from Old Fort states that the Richmond and Dandville Road is offering round tnp tickets from that point to Goldsboro and return, during our Fair at he low rates of 87.25. The (are from Goldsboro to New Berne will be only S1.50 including admission to the Fair. We are glad to see the R. tfc D. take this much in terest iri our exposition. We learn by the'same letter that tickets are in good deinand at Asheville. Let our people be prepared to take care of the crovjrd. A big one will be here. Mr.j J. J. Wolferiden has okra which lie put up last fall in dry salt, and the pods look as green and fresh as if just taken from the vine. Wilmington Star : Iredell Meares, Esq., left last night for San Fran-, cisco, Cal., as the attorney of the heir of the late Charles Planner, who died recently in that ' city, to look after and investigate the estate of the deceased.- A lady of this city has just completed a bedqujlt that is somewhat of a curiosity. She com menced about, ten years ago to col lect bits of calico from friends and neighbors, which from time to time were placed in the quilt, the idea being for it to contain no two pieces of exactly the same figure and color, and with the exception of probably half a dozen instances she has suc ceeded in her object the quilt con taining a total number of 3,330 dif ferent pieces of calico.
