At Atlantic, Iowa, on May 7, C. M, Ailor, alias "Crip." Ailor, was convicted cf deceiving the people by selling a worthless compound, which he repre sented j to be Hood's- .Sarsaparilla, and was sentenced by Judge Macey to one year at hard labor in the Iowa State Pen itentiary. Ailor's methods were those of a traveling fakir. He has been traveling through Missouri. Nebraska and Iowa, making stands of a day or more in each town, and representing himself as an agent finder salary from C. I. Hood & Co. , arid selling hi concoction at one dol lar or fifty cents per bottle, giving with each sale yariou3 other worthless arti cles. Citizens of Griswood, Iowa, be came suspicious and ascertaining from a druggist that Ailor's compound was not Hood's Sarsaparilla, .hut merely col' red water, had him arrested. Three indict ments were found against him, the jury convicted him after only thirty minutes deliberation, and he was sentenced as above. This incident suggests the wis dom of purchasing medicines only of reputable dealers whom you know.

MORE PROOF OF FRAUD , i i IN RATIFICATION OF THE MORTGAGE BILL FOUND. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. The Plans of the European Powers Submitted to the Porte Intense Heat in England i Constitn- tional Question. London, May 14 A dispatchto the Times from Constantinoplesays the powers have submitted to" the Porte a scheme of reforms in Armenia which Includes the appointment of Christians as public officials and gives the powers trie right to veto the appointments of Governors if they shall not seem satis factory. The plan also provides that a high commissioner, who shall not be an European, shall supervise the work of putting the reforms into effect and shall remain in office until the reforms are ef fected.! It is understood that the Porte will submit the scheme to an examining com mission presided oyer by a Turkish Pa8ha. j Tne selection of the high com missioner is to be subject to the approval of the powers and4 a commission com posed of Musselmans and Christians is to supervise the administration of af fairs in the Vilayets. The scheme further provides that inhabitants of Sassoun shall be paid the amount of their losses and that the Kurds shall be disarmed. The powers base their demands upon the proven bad administration and the generally unsatisfactory condition of af fairs in the Asiatic provinces of Turkev. The 4,000 troops which paraded at Portsmouth to-day suffered greatly from - the intense heat and ten of them were prostrated by sunstroke and sent to the hospital. The motion introduced in the House of Commons to-day by Sir William Har eourt in regard to the status of Viscount Wolmer took the technical form of a resolution to appoint a committee to in quire whether Viscount Wolmer had succeeded to the earldom of Zelborne and to examine into his right to con tinue to sit in the House of Commons. The motion was carried by a vote of 330 to 143. , !

Messenger Bureau, ) Raleigh, May 14. In the Supreme court this morning the Assignment or Mortgage bill case came up and was argued. The same counsel who appeared week before last in the Superior court again appeared and the line of argument was about the same. The Superior court argument was fully reported. The State librarian was present with the calendar of the Senate and also its journal, to show that the bill was never in the Senate at all. It is said that when the list of acts to be enrolled, which are always made out in duplicate 1 V -m . - oy tne enrolling clerk and sent to the Senate and House, were received March. 13th.- this bill did not appear on them. Evidence accumulates that the fraudu lent wort in connection with this bill lies in the offices of the enrolling clerk and the House clerks.

If the weather is suitable and the fall a late one they can make a good crpp, but the odds are against them. It is rare that two good crops of cotton follow each other. Many farmers are only now beginning to plant cotton. They are just as well off, in fact, better than-those who planted early.

Washington, May 14. The first busi ness of the fourth and last day's session; of the Southern Baptist convention, after devotional exercises, was the report of I the committee oh time and place of the next meeting. It recommended that the convention of 1806 be held in Chat tanooga, beginning on the Friday before the second Sunday in May; that Rev. C. A. Stakeley, of Washington, preach the annual sermon, with Rev. C. Durham, of Raleigh, N. C., alternate. The report was adopted. Recurring to the resolutions under consideration at Atlanta in 1879, referred to in the historical sermon delivered Saturday by President Whitsitt, Rev. I. T. Tichenor presented a memorandum on the line of his statement yesterday, which will be printed in the proceedings of the convention. The report of the committee upon so much of the report of the home mission board as related to work among the col ored population, was made bv Rev. A. J. S. Thomas, of South Carolina. It stated that some work had been done by the board among the negroes in Ken tucky, Georgia, and Texas, and that in some respects the work had been satis factory. "The board is anxious to do more for the negroes, but there are so many peculiarly embarrassing Droblems! that the work has been necessarilvi slow." Rev. W. H. McAlpin, of Alabama, col ored, an agent of the home mission board, working among the people of his race, addressed the convention in con nection with the consideration of the re- port. He was introduced by President Haralson as a man of integrity, intelli gence and influence, a Christian and a Baptist, who was doing good amone his brethren, whom he had known for many years. Rev. George A. Walker, president of 1 Walker Institute, Augusta. Ga.. alsoi colored, was introduced as a man who was doing a good work among his brethren and the report was then adopted, 1 President Haralson announced that! the committee authorized bv the terms! of the resolution proposed a few days ago by Rev.

To-night the Governor issued th4 following pronunciamento bearing on State's rights and federal interfer ence: "Fellow Citizens: In 1865, after the most bloody struggle for principle in the history of the world. South Carolinians laid down their arms and accepted in good faith the results of the war. The State was put under martial law and under the Reconstruction act the igno rant slaves, whose fetters had just been broken, manipulated by carpet baggers from the four quarters of the earth, were placed in entire control of our State Gov ernment. After a farce of an election for delegates to a constitutional conven tion the Constitution which has been our organic law since 1868 was adopted at the dictate of Gen. Canby. The condi tions which followed and the results of placing ignorance and vice in the con trol of the Government are known of all men.. This condition lasted until 1876, when the oppression and misgovernment had rendered our people so desperate that with one impluse they asserted their manhood and overthrew the despotism of the carpet baggers and resumed con tr.l of the State affairs. w.uucy uid uixantunoiiauiy ot tne reconstruction act was never questioned by us because we were powerless to re- to respect these men as Patriots and thrir handiwork as the palladium pf our liber ties. "This regime, becoming arrogant and iiuuu5i;iiu 10 a majority or our people, and repugnant in their policy to our in stitutions, was overthrown and the people in 1890 by the election of B.

WASHiNOToy, May 14 Itl regard to the case of Admiral Meade, the Navy Department this afternoon gave out the following statement: "The Navy Department .addretwed a letter to Admiral Meade, stating that it desired to know if he wan willing to answer whether he had given or autKor ized -what ' r.urnorted tn l fin ir.t..;.,.. with him published in th.. "..- v..-i - .... v i v Tribune, and Admiral Mead replied' acknowle !ging receipt of the letter, but declining to answer the queHions.

This was done upon the recom mendation of the chief constructor, who desired that work, which it n w ncaree at both 'yard, might be equalized bo tween the Norfolk and the yard.

The Sun's cotton review says: Cfonfeose 8 to 9 points, then reacted and closed steady at a net advance of 5 to 6 points, with sales of 122,900 bales. New Orleans advanced 8 points and then lost 2 points of this." t : ' i j t i i . j-averpooi openeu t pome lower, out re covered this and advanced i point and closed very steady, though the spot sales licans ought to speak low after the way there were only b,lRHJ bales. Spot cotton in Liverpool was easier, but without quotable change. Manchester was quiet and steady. Spot cottohthere was l-16c higher, with sales of 80 bales for spin ning. Port receipts thus far this week were 17,048 bales, against 25,796 thus far last week. The Southern spot markets were quiet. Charleston declined c. New Orleans receipts to-morrow were estimated at 6,000 bales, against 1,140 last Tuesday and 448 last year. Today's features were: The bulls took a turn at the wheel to-day and their steering was towards the upper waters of the bullish countrv, as a matter of course. They had Liverpool in their favor. That market undoubt edly disappointed the bears.- It showed a small advance where certainly none was expected, though it is true that the spot market there was dull and weak and that Manchester was quiet. Still Liverpool bought freely here, mainly be cause of a rumor that Neill Bros., of New Orleans, would issue a bullish crop circular to-morrow. The Continent was buying, not only at Liver pool, but here. Spot cotton here is stronger; the exports from the ports were treble receipts; shorts were covering, and not a few bought on the belief that cotton is a purchase at pres ent prices. German houses sold, but their selling did not check the advance. InmanfSwan & Co., sold pretty freely, but the market took the cotton without a tremor.. Some think cotton ought to respond to the bullish conditions gen erally observable throughout the world of trade and speculation. At any rate, it has many friends who believe that the best prices for cotton are still to be attained. The cool weather continues and makes Hyde of Missouri, and B. H.

The order of formation of the proces sion in the 20th of May ceremonies tvas arranged this afternoon by Chief Marshal Carroll, who was ably assisted in that work by Maj. Hayes, U. S. A. The news as to the condition of Hon. Lee.S. Overman, received by his rela tives here, is that he is better. u Collectors are at work here along many lines in connection with the 20th of May ceremonies. One set are after money to meet the expenses, while others collect contributions of supplies for the veterans. It is heavy work and requires constant application. The mili tary will all be specially looked after. The veterans will certainly enjoy their trip here. They will receiye all manner of attentions during their stay in Ral eigh. How many political parties will there be in this State next year? Maybe five. Maybe three. The Populists are doing a great deal more talking than usual. Some of them resent the statement made by Republican Chairman Holton, that 75 per cent, of the Populists will be in the Republican ranks, and that the Re publicans will know how to make allies of the 25 per cent, who do not wear Re publican uniforms. They do not like the statement by Holton that he now regards Marion Butler as virtually a Re publican.

In this struggle we confidently rely on the sympathy and moral support of lovers of good government and State's rights throughout the Union. The sov ereignty of the States, within their proper spheres, is as dear to Massachu setts and Ohio as it is to South Carolina, and the principle cannot be struck down here without receiving a mortal blow elsewhere. "It is unfortunate that the passions and prejudices excited by the war in regard to the negro should influence the opinions and feelings of judges in deal ing with this vital principle, but it will follow inevitably that if this principle is once destroyed, this country will be convulsed with a revolution, resulting in the restoration of the liberties of white men that will far eclipse that other fatal struggle for the emancipation of the blacks. v "The restoration of white supremacy in 1876 placed in office and in leadership of the affairs of the State Wade Hamp ton as Governor and afterwards as United States Senator, and M. C. Butler as United States Senator; Charles H. Simonton, chairman of the judiciary committee and leader of the House of Representatives, later District and Cir cuit judge of the United States court, and John C. Sheppard, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lieutenant Governor and afterwards Governor. In 1882, under the leadership of these men the Legislature passed the laws known as "The Election and Registration Acts," designed- to preserve white supremacy and a white man's Government. These laws worked admirably, and up to this proceeding no complaint has ever been heard of their injustice, oppression or criminality.
