C O. P. Cotton Seed Lard Has all the conveniences of Hog Lard and a number of advantages over it It heats more readily, is less liable to burn, has very little of the disagreeable odor which is so notice able in frying fat and leaves no taste of the Lard whatever in the articles fried in it. Bi-:cuits made from it are much lighter than when Hog Lard is used; pie-crust more delicate, and, while short and crisp, is not so greasy aa that made from Hog Lard. Oys ters, Croquettes, Fish Balls, etc., fried in it reach the perfection to which cooks aspire in preparing these articles brown, dry, and free from grease. C. O. P. Cottcn Seed Lard can be used in fine cakes instead of butter where Hog Lard would injure their flavor. In fact for all frying pur poses C. O. P.Cotton Seed Lard is more healthful than Hog Lard be ing much less greasy and consequent ly more digestible. It is, m short, absolutely pure, wholesome, and eco nomical.

The Senate and House yesterday settled the two last election contests. The Democrats in both retained their seats. The Democrats filed majority and the Republicans minority re ports. In the Senate, Alexander Long, contestant, gets left, and J. T. LeGrand, of Richmond county, holds the fort. In the House J.-.B. Covington, the contestant, has his trouble for his pains, and S. M. Wooten keeps his seat. The Senate was in committee oi the whole most of the time yester day, considering the revenue bill. attempts to make the tax on prop erty 30 cents and on: polls 90 cents failed, even though it was pretty ilainlv stated that not enough shekels would be gathered in to run the gov ernment. The House had hxeu the rate at 25 and 75 cents and the Sen ate thought that enough. The bill passed second reading with some trilling amendments. The House disposed of -a good deal of miscellaneous business. It passed an important bill, to prevent freight discriminations .-by the associated railways against the Atlantic & North Carolina railway, in which the State holds so large an interest Now if that law can only be properly enforced' great things may be ex pected. 1 he election law, or rather the bill to amend the present one, was taken up in the House. Mr. button managed it and did so very well. It is a sort of compromise bill, tor. some Democrats in the House de clined to support the Senate bill. So this is a substitute tor that bill It amends it so that if a voter requests a poll holder to place his ballot in the box the poll holder may do so. t he original bill (which I he Tlant published first) did not permit this. Another amendment is in regard to 10 the registration of voters. I he substitute so arranges this that it will knock out most of the negro "'repeaters" whose violations of the law have been so numerous and so flagrant. The bill passed its second reading. The Republicans were prevented from filibustering and some of them, Mr. Walser, especially, became furiously angry. Mr. Wal ser remarked that the eastern Dem ocrats led all the others around by the nose. Thereupon the Democrats leered at Mr. Walser. Ihe bill omes up on third reading, as a spe cial order, to-morrow. Ihe House took up a bill to pun ish people who solicit laborers to leave their employers. Ihe Kepub licans made a furious onslaught upon this. Mr. Hoke told them that there was now in the statute books a law which punished the man who so licited contract laborers to leave and the laborer also. But the House voted against the bill, 3G to 52. The Senate yesterday concurred in the House resolution to adjourn next Monday. Virtually, Saturday is the day of adjournment. It will be difficult to induce many mem bers to remain here; after noon. Sat urday. They say so, very frankly. Your correspondent was misin formed in regard to the speech at Metropolitan Hall jlast evening, in regard to the negro exodus. It is now learned that there was a great audience, composed! entirely of ne groes, and that Rev. L. R. Ferebee and Rev. George Smith, colored preachers, of Raleigh, and George Vassom,a negro lawyer, of Golds boro, spoke in favor of a migration to Kansas or Arkansas. Kansas appeared to be the State particularly favored. The speakers told ! their deeply interested hearers that they ought not to go on speculation, but should make all their arrangements beforehand. They said the fare to Kansas was only $11. It was further stated that 40,000 negroes were wanted. The rather surprising asser tion was made that negroes were de sired in Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. The negroes are certainly well worked up. They say, and in fact it was announced by the speak ers last night, that many more o these meetings will be held and tha notices will be read from every pul pit in the negro churches. This is the African mode of "spreading news." It takes the place of the aboriginal alarm hre and beats it to aeatn. .now inese; meetings may mean a bix exodus of negroes. Per haps it is best to encourage the idea It will relieve the State of the dis contented, who now talk as if the white people desired to force them to stay here. Nothing is further from any white man's thoughts. Those who desire to stay will be encouraged to stay, the others to go. The penitentiary question comes up again. There is a little diner ence in the view of the Governor and the Legislature or rather the peni entiarv committee. There is what some call a deficit of $57,000 in the nnrts. This the Governor terms a deficit, and it is up to March 1. The committee claims that the real de ficit was of .820,000. on the 30th of November and that the $36,000 since hat date is to be metbv the anDro- priation for the current year. The nenitentiarv costs, the statements show, $21,500' a month, or $285,000 yearly. Ihe Governor believes that $oG,000 should be at once placed to he credit ot the penitentiary and hat all other existing claims should be paid out of the general fund in he treasurer. 1 be Governor br ieves that the penitentiary can be and ztrill be made self-sustaining, but that this aid is needed to make it so. - f Wetmore-s shoe factory has now $25,000 capital paid in and $75,000 more behind it. This is very en couraging, f I The gentlemen who are interested in the Asheyille electric street rail way, are here. They say that Raleigh is to have that sort of a road. Either a new company will buy the pres ent one or an amalgamation will be effected. It; is pretty certain that the road will be built and that it will be extended to the fair grounds No one save hotel and boarding- house keepers will be sorry to see the Legislature adjourn. It has been a tiresome session, and not much has been done. That is the general opinion. '..;.. Ihe Senate took up the Raleigh public school bill last night and passed it on its final reading. Two amendments are incorporated ; one that there shall be no grades higher than the 7th ; the other that the election on the increase of taxation shall only be held upon the applica tion of one-fifth of the tax-payers. a ith all the street work and the sewerage work, Raleigh bids fair to be lively the coming summer. The plans for the sewerage system are in hand. The $75,000 for it will ! be cheerfully voted TOBACCO DEPARTMENT. Alex. Walker, Editor. f Durham, N.

The market for bright tobacco re mained active during the past month, principally a gain for old wrappers and old cutters, .for the former in some instances an ad vance of 2 centy above January prices was realized. Indeed the market for old bright wrappers closed quite active with a strong advancing tendency, caused by the growing conviction that the new crop con tains an unusual small percentage of wrappers and of less desirable quality than the old stock of such still for sale on our market. An increased demand for old fillers and smokers was noticeable towards the end of the month. The receipts, as well as the color and quality of newr bright West Virginia tobacco, showed al ready a -decline jeompared to the previoks month. jEvidently the new crop of brights turns out to be even small than previous estimates, on account of its weighing out very light. ..;,!. .... In dark tobacca the principal sale was a lot of 108 hogsheads of old to bacco, partly of the 1SS6 crop, fine leaf ! which had funked, for snuff manufacture. Besides smaller lots of old sound lugs to medium leal were sold, which it becomes daily more difficult to find in the old stock. The stock of old sound sun-cured tobacco will soon be entirely ex hausted. The past month we had the first receipts in hogsheads of new (ISSS'crop) stemming crops," which principally distinguished themselves by their grass-green color with little body. The receipts arid sales of new dark loose crops of the 18SS crop aggre gated 700,065 pounds for thre month and 2,240,105 pounds since October 1st, 1888.; Some few days, tobacco of a better quality than heretofore seen appeared amongst them and prices ranged from 4 to 13 cents per pound loose on warehouse floor, or about 4 cents average. The stock in warehouses shows a further reduction of 1,550 hogsheads since February 1st, and of 7,080 hogsheads since October 1st, 188S, the beginning of our fiscal tobacco year. i ; Total stock in warehouses on March 1st, 1889, 21,350 hogsheads. Fr. Wm. Hanewinckel's Sons. A Railway Train Cut in Wood. . i St. Paul Dispatch. There is a remarkable piece of workmanship on exhibition, the work of August MacPhersOn. the Scotch whittler. It is a railroad train, consisting of an engine, tender, baggage car and two coaches. It is complete in every detail, and yet it was made with no other tool than an ordinary knife. The intricate parts of the engine are reproduced with consummate: skill. The running gear, with the brakes, springs, etc., are all there. There are 1,807 bolts in the model. In the engine alone there are 1,243 pieces and in the model complete 3,108 pieces. Mr. MacPherson worked steadily upon it for fourteen hours a day for two years and nine months. Still the Great Issue. i Baltimore Sun. Mr. Fairchild thinks the tariff is sue is as live and potent now as it Was before the election, and regards it as the true Democratic doctrine, the great principle over which fu ture contests are to be waged. "Dem ocrats," he says, "are mistaken if they think anything is to be gained by receding from a policy which, notwithstanding the powerful forces arrayed against them, brought them so near; success that a change of 7,000 votes would have given them the victory. It is an issue which roused and interested the people to an unexampled degree, and it is one which must continue to grow." Republican Simplicity (?) I New York Sun.
