Monroe Enquirer: A company has been formed to work an abandoned gold mine about a mile west of town. The. board of aldermen of Asheville has appropriated $450 to uniform a portion of its fire department, so as to make a creditable show at the Charlotte tourna ment May 20th. , Asheville Citizen: Somebody tells a story of how a man who was Inv a store heard another man "telling one of the clerks that he "had never drunk whisky and had never told a lie."

D. Jones, who claims to ber from Winston, was lodged in Jail here .for handling bogus checks.

The pulpit and choir loft will be in the side of the build ing. Two magnificent towers will be on the front. Charlotte News: A staunch democrat of Wilmington came into The News office Saturday night wearing a Springs badge turned up side down. He said he meant by that that he hoped Charlotte people would turn the independent ticket down, and that they would never suffer as Wil mington has done. Hon. Hezekiah Gudger, officeseeker, seems to be in the condition of the man who forgot what he was . hunting for. He is probably hunting for what the Hon. Walter R. Henry found in the office seeking line. Marion Democrat: The illicit traffic in liquor seems to fascinate the men and women who engage in it.

Cobb was cut and slashed in several places, but was able to leave town, at least the police were un able to find him. Gray was locked up. Our neighboring city. High Point, is coming to the front.

Something to Know. .It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restor ing the tired out nervous system to a. healthy vigor is iJlectrtc Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the Wood. Electric Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those Who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. old for 50c or $1.00 per bottle at R. R. Bellamy's prug Store. STATISTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL Twenty-seven members of the pres ent, congress are of foreign birth. London has oyer 500 railway stations.

California, with less than 1,000,000 of people, is very little smaller than France, with 36,000,000. Fakirs are doing; a good business in New York collecting old bricks and selling them at fancy prices as souve nirs from Grant's tomb.

The market for stocks was lacking in animation today and sank at times into a condition of unqualified dullness, although evidences of firmness and strength were not lack ing and the small net decline was due rather to the. sympathetic effect of the manipulation by the bears of special stocks than to anything in the general situation. Perhaps the dullness was in some small part due to the inaugura tion of the gold export movement, to day first genrally admitted to be due to normal causes growing out of the trade situation. Interest in the gold movement was confined in a very large part to those having1 to do with the market for exchange, as it is now gen erally understood that the gold move ment has been held back for several days at least by agreement of the exchange houses which agreement it was found impossible to main tain after the engagement on Sat urday of about $1,000,000 for ship ment to London on an order from that center. There was little apprehension aroused in Wall street, however, by the news that $1,500,000 in gold coin had been withdrawn from the sub-treasury for export to Europe. For one thing, it is felt that .the present period of ex cessive imports of merchandise, which is now throwing the exchange situation against us, will necessarily be limited by the enactment into law of the new customs tariff. The return of the gold that may go out now is, therefore, con fidently expected with the normal mer chandise export movement later. Furthermore, it is believed that besides the large treasury gold reserve a por tion of the large reserve of New York banks would be forthcoming for export purposes rather than that they should have their stock of legal tenders de-. pleted. .The extent of the demand here, growing out of the demand tf Japan and Austria on London is somewhat problematic But depression Sis mani fest in Wall street, that the gold ex ports! will be sufficient to deplete the treasury reserve to a point that would give ground for apprehension regarding the currency. The market for Amer icans in London was weak this morning in the face of an advancing tendency for consols, and the New York market took its opening tone from London. But after the opening loss the general market advanced to a point a fraction higher than Monday's close. The bears then sought successfully to stem the advance by attacks on individual stocks. Sugar was a strong force in the market, leading the early advance and a genera rally at the close and showing a net gain on the delivery of 1. The total sales of stocks for the day was 130,915 shares including Amer ican Sugar s Refinery 30,100, Burlington and Quincy 15,800,- Chicago Gas 13.100, St. Paul 10,300, New-Jersey Central 5,600. Trading in the bond market was marked by a renewal of strength and activity in the Texas and Pacific - is sues, which rose 1 and 14 Per cent, respectively. The general market lacked feature, but ruled generally higher. The agregate sales were $766,- 000. - Governments were neglected, but were steady at Monday's closing prices. The sales were $1,000. Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New Tork, April 28. Speculation is en tering the cotton market and the trading today was lively and the market strong. The good spot business in Liverpool con tinues, and although futures there hesi tated yesterday while our mantel was closed, they advanced" sharply today. The opening here was erratic. Some months were 5 points dawn, while others wera 5 notnts ud. There was no sign of aggressive selling of the months of this crop and they were in great aemana an dav. The fall and winter montns, now- ever, under the influence of the continued better reports from the south, were sold unhesitatingly and participated dui sllerhtlv in the strength of the market. Delivery notices of May circulated freely. but had no deoressinK effect. Heavy buy ing by one house was tne ieature or tne day. August opened at 7.38, advanced to 7.45, receded to 7.40, again advanced to 7.49 and closed at 7.47 to 7.4S. with the tone of the market steady. Rumors are current that the Liverpool and New Or lean markets are manipulated in favor of the bull interest, but there is no manipu lation here, and while reactions will occur we expect cotton to sell nigner on its merits. RIORDAN & CO. (Bv Associated Press.) New York. April 28. There was intense excitement on the resumption of business at the cotton exchange this morning, fol lowing yesterday's holiday. The early transactions were upon a very neavy scale. Up to noon the record showed sales of 200,000 bales, with trading In 500 to 2,000 bales lots, quite common. Tne market had an irregular: opening. The bases of -the early improvement was the strong attitude of the Liverpool marKet, while our market was closed yesterday and the continued strength of the English market today. Private cables assert that English spinners are well supplied with orders for goods, while in need of raw cotton supplies and that English senti ment regarding the outlook remains quite bullish on the theory 01 contined peacerui tendencies in foreign political circles. At the best point today the market showed a net rise of o to la points ana nnisneq steady in tone at a net advance of 10 to 13 points on near positions and 1 to 7 points on far months.

An Explosion In Church. London, "April 28. The secretary of state for the colonies.

C, April 28. -Editors Messenger: I see in your. Raleigh letter of yester-, day that the drummers' tax is in the revenue bill and that State Treasurer Worth thinks it very unfortunate, as It will work hardship to our state boys and discriminate in favor of salesmen from other states. I am sorry he did not see it in this light when the bill was up before the finance committee. - I am quite sure our worthy treasurer is responsible for this item in the bill, for he came before the committee and suggested the item himslf, saying that it had been suggested to him by .a large dry good house in Raleigh whose sales men vhad been troubled by the differ ent towns to which they had been to sell goods. - - These salesmen or salesladies were perhaps the only ones ever troubled by any town authorities and that because they sold goods at retail by sample. This item was opposed in the com mittee by myself and others at two dif ferent meetings and was finally left out of the bill as reported to the house; but the -house considered the revenue bill before it went to the senate and this clause was reinstated. When the bill as passed by the house came to the senate each senator was furnished with a, printed copy, and in considering it each Item was considered and voted on separately. The drummer clause was opposed by myself and several others and was stricken out by what was practically a unanimous vote. In the hurry of the last t'"o or three days of the legislature the h'U was sent to a conference committee and the conferees on the part of the senate must have consented to put this clause back in the bill. If so they acted with out due regard for the sentiment and vote of the senate on the subject. But I think it more probable that the reve nue bill was botched and butchered by the conference committee, for I dis tinctly remember and so noted in the margin of my copy that the property tax was changed from 43 cents on the $100, as' the house had it to 45 cents and the poll tax changed from $1.29 to $1.35. Is it not possible that the conference committee handled the bill carelessly and allowed the original house bill to get into- the hands of the engrossing clerks? I do not now remember any member of the conference committee and do not wish to be understood as casting any insinuations on any member of the leg islature. Respectfully, JOHN T. SHARP. A;Great.Victory for Humanity. The supreme court yesterday decid ed the insane asylum cases in favor of the incdmbents, thus sustaining Judge Adams, of the superior court. It will "be remembered that it was sought by acts of the recent legislature to reor ganize the hospitals at Morganton, Ra leigh and Goldsboro and plans had been made for changing the management of each. The superintendents, Drs. Mur phy, Kirby and Miller, set up the claim that they could not be dispossessed during their term of office and went into the courts. Judge Adams, as stated, held with them and now the su preme court sustains him. Dr. Mur phy has two or three years of his pres ent term yet to serve; we do not know how it is. as to Drs. Kirby and Miller. This is no party victory and we should despise ourselves if we for one moment so regarded it. It Is a vic tory for humanity, for the- helpless in sane and for all the people' of North Carolina. It would have been lament able to see these institutions for the insane pass into the hands of spoils menfor the offices connected with them to have been distributed around as rewards for party services. This de cision "means that the insane are safe for two more years and that the state's interests as represented in these hos pitals will continue to be conserved for that length of time at least. We suppose judges deserve no credit for correct interpretation of the law, and yet we cannot resist the impulse to thank Judge Adams and the su- preime court for the great service they have done the state. There have been times when, a point of law being nicely balanced, judges have decided It under political influence; "Not so in this case. Theses judges have risen above parti sanship and all the state owes them gratitude and thanks. Raleigh News and Observer. The Chicago Markets. Chicago, April 28.

Leading Author, Travelers, Scientists and . Orators on th LUt of Speakers. The Augusta Chronicle gives the fol lowing outline of the plan to form a system of co-operative lyceums in the leading southern cities: An association has just been formed of which the Hon. Henry Watterson is president, General J. B. Gordon, vice president, H. C. Middleton, secretary of the Augusta lyceum, secretary, (and a number of prominent and patriotic men as a company of directors and advisors) to push the organization of permanent lyceums in the south as a means of popular education. . The form of organizations which the association will promote is the co-operative or non-profit order. Among those who are at the head of the movement are these mentioned: Bishop C. B. Gal loway of Mississippi, A.- H. Belo of The Dallas and Galveston (Tex.) News, the Rev, Sam P. Jones, Thomas Nelson Page, Governor Bob Taylor of Tennes see, William Preston Johnston of Tu lane university. Louisiana: J. L. M. Curry, the Hon. William, L. Wilson, ex postmaster general and now president1 of the Washington-Lee university; Frank L. Stanton, the poet; ex-Uhited States Senator Patrick Walsh and others. The association will in a few days publish an address calling the atten tion of the people of the-south to the value of the lyceum as a means of pop ular education, and requesting the or ganization of public lyceums on the co-operative or non-profit plan in a cir cuit comprising the-leading cities-of the south. The address will emphasize the value that the lyceum has proven in New England, where the people at large for two generations have been put in touch with the leading thought Of the age literary, scientific, etc. with the declaration that this powerful in fluence, has been too long neglected in the south. The association will undertake im mediately the organization of co-operative lyceums in the following cities, hoping to have the circuit completed by December 1st: Wilmington, Richmond. Norfolk, Lynchburg, Raleigh. Charlotte; Col umbia, Charleston, Augusta (organized) Savannah, Macon. Columbus. "Atlanta (organized), Jacksonville, Birmingham, Montgomery. Mobile. Louisville. Lex ington, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Nash ville,' : Memphis, Little Rock,- Hot Springs, Meridan. Vicksburg, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Galveston, Hous ton, Dallas, Waco, Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio, i Among the men who will be brought to the south from year to year to these associations, besides the leading au thors, travelers, scientists, orators and lecturers of the time will be like Dr. J DeWitt Talmage, Mark Twain. Lew Wallace, Hamilton Mabie. Hopkinson Smith, George Kennan, Thomas Dixon, Dr. Parkhurst, Max O'Rell, Marion Crawford, James Whitcomb Riley, George W. Cable. ! Russell . Conwell, Maurice Thompson, John Fox, Eli Per kins, Robert J. Burdette; men from abroad like Conan Doyle, Ian Maclaren, Sir Edwin Arnold, Stanley, Justin Mc Carthy and others when they visit this country -in fact, any of those -who are giving any of their time to this lyceum work. In this way the people will come into contact with the leading men of the times. Such lecturers as these, when they come through the south spasmodically, cost for admission for the people to hear them, from $1 to $2. By the regular lyceum organization, upon a system similar to any library organization, this price is brought down to the minimum, depending only upon the size of the membershia of the dif ferent lyceums.

The truth of the matter is there were very few lawyers of any ability elected to the legislature by the "reformers," and tnererore it is not surprising that so many mistakes were made. For, although many persons think that no lawyer ought to be elected to the legislature, yet in every legislature there ought to be some or the ablest lawyers in the state, and any intelligent man who is familiar with legislature proceedings must admit this to be true.

Thus far Governor Russell has been a sore disappoinment to both his friends. and those who are not ruled by any politi cal feeling hoped to see the character and dignity of the Old North State maintain ed by its chief executive. In his official position Governor Russell did not preserve during the session of the general assem bly that dignity and calmness that was due to his high executive standpoint. There was too much obstruslve person-. ality exhibited that was entirely unneces sary, too many scenes between himself and others that were not decorous, and in nia position on the North Carolina lease matter there was a woful lack of guber natorial dignity and a shameful amount of Rusaellism. And ; this . can be said without any question as to what side he took on the lease matter. In some of his recent pardons Governor-Russell can bo criticised, lor they did not warant any executive clemency, The fact that reports tell of Governor Kussen losing a numoer or pis political inenas, tnose wno anui recently stood closest to hlm always ready to do his bidding, does not interest the general pqDne, aimougn i. iwnui fall to be made much of by his friends, th enemv.

"WESTERN "WHEEL WORKS Chicago New York PUBLIC OPINION Through the effect .of a recent decis ion of the Kentucky supreme court, the banks of liouisville. become subject to state and., municipal taxation of their capital and surplus to the extent of 2 per cent, per annum.

'A. sectional prejudice," whether felt or wot, is evident enough In the Wilson Harper editorial of Harper's Weekly of last Saturday's date.

April Review of Reviews. . We recall the time, not many- years ago, when crime was far more rampant in Kentucky than it has been since the Chicago convention assembled. In stead of destroying property, the crimi nals of that period amused themselves with murder red-handed, damnable assassination and Mr. Watterson did not hesitate to turn the batteries of The Courier-Journal on the miscreants and on cowardly officials who dared not interefere with their sport. How for tunate it would have been if there had only been a Chicago platform to ac count for that reign of terror. What a -wear and .tear of brain tissue it would have saved the philosopher. It used to be the custom of preachers and moralists to blame the primal pair for all the ills that wait on frail human ity. "In Adam's fall we sin-ned all," so the old hymn1 puts it. But Colonel Watterson and other writers, who, -like him, find an explanation of crimes and calamities in the Chicago platform, suggest that it is time to -let up on Adam and move the stakes from Eden to Chicago, from the Adamic era to A. D. 1896. The wickedness of that plat form, as viewed by bolting democratic publicists, sufficiently typifies the fall of. man. Why not let it stand for Adam's transgression and save the weary mind the exhaustion of the long journeys to and from the old home and far away time of Adam ana the apple tree? Washington Post.
