Neel, of Davidson College, writes: In 1886 my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her hair. From the crown down and from ear to ear .was as bald as the palm of the hand. Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul Barringer, recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Hair Restorer. Determined to give it a fair trial ! bought a half dozen bottles.. Three bottles of it faithfully used, pro-' duced no visible effect, but one morn ing, soon after beginning the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth -of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle was needed Ten years have elapsed and no one has a finer suit of hair. - Less than one bottle is often effectual in checking falling hair.

Another supposed dark crime is added to many in Yancey county. Mr. William Davis, a dealer in logs and lumber, was found dead in a mill pond in Yancey yes terday morning. The body was so badly decomposed and mutililated by fish as to make it impossible to tell whether he died from drowning or was . killed. Mr. Davis was known as a sober, quiet and in offensive citizen, and if he was murdered, it must have been for the purpose of rob bery, for he had no known enemies. He was well known in Marion. Ab Long cry, colored, who' killed Will Brown last week, had a preliminary trial yesterday. After hearing all the eivdence the magis trates remanded the negro to await the action of the grand jury.

The examination showed a number of bruises about the child's body. It was re ported that Joanna Bottom, the woman where the child lived, had threatened his life. A warrant was issued and she was brought to town Monday night by Sheriff Stallings. A jury was drawn and an inquest was held. Tuesday afternoon. The jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by wounds, received in a way un known to them. The woman was re leased. Statesville Landmark: In . Statesville Saturday afternoon Hayes Matthews, col ored, shot Tom Stevenson, colored, three times, from the effects of which Steven son died in a few minutes. Matthews is in jail. The shooting took place near the court house, in the most public part of town and in the presence of a large num ber of people. The trouble between the two men, which had such a tragic end ing, originated in a dispute over a base ball game. Mr. J. Adlai D. Stevenson, died at his home on Mulberry street, in Statesville, shortly after 11 o'clock last Saturday. He was born March 31st, 1825, and was therefore 73 years old on the 31st (,ay or last Marcn. ie was a son or An?os Stephenson and Jane Hill, and both his raternai and maternal granaiatners, Captain James Stephenson and Abram Hill wfre revolutionary soldiers. He was the best posted man in the state, probably on the mineralogy or tnis section ana was an authority on this and many other mat ters.

And yes terday, as he spoke or tnose stirring cffnfs anri laid his tribute of oratory and praise upon the breasts of his fallen comrades, one could see flashing from hi3 eyes and suffusing his cheeks that same spirit that tnrinea mm 111 me ui 60's and impelled him to such deeds of daring.

He did more; he, communicated tne divine spark to the audience, tie tnnuea ana held them with his words. Round after round of applause greeted his utterances; and when he said, "And we are Confed erates today," he was given almost an ovation.

After the tests had been completed an expert from Washing ton was telegraphed for. He came and made a physical examination of the herd, in addition to the tests applied by Mr. McMackin and Dr. Terry. He was satis fied with the tests that had been made and the first two cows were "killed while he was here. Since then two others were slaughtered and yesterday four more fine ones were killed. Of these latter four, two showed no outward signs of the in fection at all no enlarged glands. The test, however, showed they had it in their blood.

There was not a single effective rallying point in today's market and the only interruption to the sagging of prices was the occasional brief buying of shorts in some few stocks to cover. The strength of American se curities in London and the buying in this market, which have been factors in the last two days in sustaining the mark et, were less conspicuous today. Ameri can stocks became heavy and dull in London after the opening here, that market apparently having become dis couraged at the pereistent distrust dis played by the New York markets of its own securities. Quite a serious view also was. taken in the street of the developments at Washington and the hints thrown out by parties to the conference of information in the possession of the government of a state of affairs existing in Cuba calling for interference. This, coupled with the suggestive course of the senate towards the Morgan resolution and a belief that it will pass, was taken as foreshadowing a more aggressive Cuban policy on the part of the administration, and the deal ers in stocks were inclined by these ad vices to discount a possible fall in values from strained relations with Spain on this question. A report also found cred ence that it was in prospect to displace the tariff bill in the senate by the Cu ban question as more urgently calling for early settlement a report which was used by the bears with a good effect in adding to the weight on the market. The announcement of $1,000,000 gold ship ment by Saturday's steamer in the face of a rather weak exchange market shows that the' limit of no profit is not yet crossed with demand sterling at $4.87. The exchange market stiffened to some extent just before the close of trading and further shipments of gold are felt to be not improbably. Although this probability was discounted several days ago by the selling of stocks it had an effect in- depressing values in the narrow and . professional market and in dis couraging trading. Although the day's sales were larger than those of yesterday there were no signs of any outside interest in the mark et, aside from the dealings for London account. There was said to be selling as well as buying for London account during t the day, but the purchases are estimated to have exceeded the sales by 10,000 shares a fact to be considered in connection with the exchange situation. The industrial shares which were most largely traded in, namely, Suear and Chi cago Gas, were under special pressure, and although they were iniluenced by special causes, the volume of the trans actions in them imparted a sympathetic heaviness to the general list. The grangers were quite firmly held in the early tradings, but later succumbed and showed a decline as great as the average. The losses-were remarkably uniform in all the most active stocks, the decline ranging from to 1, the latter in Leather, .preferred. The toal sale of stocks for the day amounted to 151,045 shares, including American Sugar Refinery 27,000, Burling ton and Quincy 12,200, Chicago Gas 10,700, Reading 7,800, Rock Island 5,400, St. Paul 19,300 Western Union 7,500. Railway bonds eased off on light' dealings with the recessions unimportant in the leading mortgages. Some marked losses were scored, however,' including St. Louis and San Francisco Trust 5's, which fell 4 per cent, and Peoria, Decatur and Evansville l's 1 per cent. The aggregate sales were $872,000. Governments were in demand and ruled firmer on purchases of $104,000. Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, May 13. The cotton market was very quiet today. Liverpool still lags. Futures this morning were un changed and the spot sales were small at lower prices. Our market opened 1 point down Outside business was of the slenderest prospects and even the local traders seemed content to await further developments. As a result, the market was sluggish all day. It exhibited no weakness, however. August opened at 7.38, declined to 7.37, advanced to 7.39 and closed at 7.38 to 7.39, with the tone of the market quiet and steady. The compara tive strength of the near months was marked again today, which must be attributed to the strong position. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, May 13. The cotton market was exceptionally dull, toal sales reach ing only 42,000 bales. The scope of the fluctuations were confined to a matter of points on what might be called the more active positions while, some months scarcely varied a point after the opening call There was perceptibly no outside speculative interest. The market con tinued to be held chiefly by the nrm re lations of the spot cotton department in which there is considerable activity and firmness. The closing was quiet and steady from 1 point lower to 1 point higher. Old People.

Richmond ,Va., May 13. The tobacco trade of Richmond today passed the following: The tobacco manufacturers of Rich monds, Va.. assembled in conference to consider the proposed increase of 2 cents per pound on manufactured to bacco, and 50 cents per pound on ci garettes, as provided for in the tariff bill recently reported to the senate, having fully discussed the effects of such a change do hereby resolve: That in their judgment, the proposed increase of tax will be very hurtful, if not disastrous to the tobacco manufac turing interests, as well as to the grow ers of leaf tobacco, and the represen tatives in congress of the state of Vir ginia are earnestly requested to oppose by all means in their power any change in the present internal revenue tobacco schedule. c Two Lives Saved.

Cincinnati Enquirer. New England looks hard at the tax oh hides, but that is only a minor grievance, after all. The sugar sche dule Is confessed by The Tribune to be much more favorable to the sugar trust than was the Wilson bill, which it denounced on that score; but this might be mended or endured. But what connot be mended or endured is the confession by the senate committee that the whole republican system of protection has broken down; that the policy for which the party has fought, in victory and in defeat, for twenty years, has now. in the hour of vic tory, to be abandoned as a failure. That is the true significance of the senate bill and of the republican per turbation in view of it. Enemies of protection have said that it was an antiquated and outgrown policy; but now its friends acknowledge it. Op ponents of protective taxes have as serted that not enough money could be got from them to pay the expenses of the government; at last friends of pro tective taxes are forced to admit it. The proposed tax on tea, the increased taxes on beer and tobacco. . in a bill drawn by a republican committee, with their hands free, is a standing con fession that the protective system, as we have known it, has passed away. New York Evening Post. Those mugwump and Wall street or gans which have been making merry over the Wolcott commission and the alleged scorn and contumely in which it is held by European governments, would do well to examine, if only once or twice a month, the utterances of foreign publications. Of course, we un derstand that a mugwump is not ex pected to defer to fact or reason, and that a Wall street organ has its rule of action furnished from outside. Still, . it is not advisable for either to be ' more transparently ridiculous than is actually necessary. If only for the sake of "business," a newspaper must keep up some show of common sense and honesty. For the fourth or fifth time, therefore, we call the attention of the gold monometalliat shrlekers to the circumstance that Europeon au thorities do not agree with them in their estimate of the futility of Senator Wolcott's enterprise. The London Natiorral Review for May says: "Sen ator Wolcott's commission will receive the cordial co-operation; of the British government. Even Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor ofthe Exchequer, who is the only monometallist in the cabinet, desires to see a settlement of this question. We quoted in April from his last year's speech, in which he suggested a negotiation on the mone tary question in the following words: 'As I have said, we (the 'British gov ernment) are willing, we are anxious, seeing that there are evils in the pres ent low value of silver, and in th fluc tuations in the value of the two metals, to enter5 into a conference, or into ne gotiations, which certainly I believe at the present stage would be much better than a conference with other countries on this subject.' Public opin ion in England, as we" have so frequent ly explained, is not ripe for the re opening of the London mints, which were closed to silver eighty-one years ago, but short of that everything that can be done will be done by "Great Britain." , Mr. Wolcott and his coadjutators have sailed, however, and the question now under considera tion will soon be transferred from the domain' of controversy to that of fact. Meanwhile, undisturbed by mugwump cackle or the impudent assumptions of the money lenders' organs, the Ameri can people will wait for the result. Washington Post. Trashy Medicines.

Thus these evangelists, gifted with great enthusiasm that could not long exist in regualr ministerial labors ap pear for the time to be above the order of our ordinary ministry and are not unfrequently contrasted with them to the disparagement of the latter. Its effects are to produce apathy in the regular church work and is therefore dreaded by the regular pastors. This then is often construed as an indiffer ence on the part of our pastors to see., men brought to a knowledge of the right when it is a fact that they only dread the consequences of error grow ing out of these extraordinary evan gelistic efforts. Whatever be the mer its of evangelistic movements there can be no question but that it is the regu lar ministry that is jloing most in the great cause and all irregular and extra ordinary work should be In harmony with and subordinated to the regular pastorate work.

Fair Bluff Times. There are reasons which render it impossible for a great many southern democrats to attach themselves to the republican party. They cannot forget the treatment which that pary has vis ited upon this section in the past. They cannot shut their eyes or ears to the fact that from sump and platform, from press and pulpit, from congress halls, and wherever else men's voices are raised, the south is still the object of denunciation and vituperation from republicans,- This is said not for the purpose of excitng any counter-sentiment here, for the south's interest lies in the promotion of sectional concord and co-operation, but it is recited as a simple fact, and to some of us with whom it ig potent, it passes comprehen sion how some of our immedate fellow citizens have found it possible, con sistently with the maintenance of their self-respect, to acknowledge them selves republicans. The violent exclusion of any class of dem ocrats of this section would be painful to them, would be embarrassing to them, because there would be nowhere for them to go, but a good many of them have endured a good deal, know how to endure, and the threat of "the cold" has no terror for them.
