Fitzburgh Lee, of Virginia, has been nominated to be Consul Gen eral at Havana, Cuba, vice Raymond O. Williams, resigned. The appoint ment was another of President Cleve land's surprises. The Burlington livening News had the best executed cut and most correct likeness of ex- Gov. Holt that we have seen in any of our State exchanges. Editor Hunt has a faculty of "getting there" in any effort he undertakes. According to what purports to be a confession made by H. H. Holmes, in Philadelphia, he owns up to twenty-seven murders. As he can be hung but once, this puts him just twenty seven ahead of the game. It is not believed that President Cleveland will take any action favor able to Cuban independence by issuing a proclamation recognizing the bellig erency of the Insurgents. Strong pres sure is being brought to bear upon him by the "commercial interests" of New York tfhich means Wall street influence, against it. And that settles the ques tion. The State Democratic Executive Committee met in Raleigh Thursday night. There was a good attendance and the session was a lengthy one, everybody who felt disposed to talk being allowed to express his individual opinions at will. Mr. J. R. Young, of Henderson, who is one ot the members, was present. June 25th was the date fixed for holding the State convention. By unanimous vote the Elections Committee of the House decided the contested election case of H. P. Cheat ham against F. A. Woodard, from the Second Congressional district, in f.ivor of Mr. Woodard, the sitting memler. Many of our readers know the contest ant Cheatham, who is a colored in n , he having lived in Henderson before Vance county was taken from tin- Sec ond and put into the Fourth district. He once went to Congress from this district. - J' " Great is the Winston Tobacco Journal on special editions. Follow ing quick upon the heels of its admir able Christmas number, it came out last week in enlarged form and at tractive style with lithographed cover and illustrated pages, the whole be ing printed on fine book paper. This was in celebration of the ninth anni versary of that splendid publication, and a most creditable number it was. In this as in other efforts of the kind Editor Harman and his able assistant Mr. H. W. Kronheimer did themselves proud. The Gold Leak wishes for the Tobacco Journal many more anni versaries and the prosperity it so rich ly deserves. DEATH OF A PROMINENT TOBACCO MAN. Mr. John Pope, Vice-President of the American Tobacco Company, died at his home in Richmond, Va., at 9:45 o'clock on Wednesday night of last week. He had been sick only about a week, his trouble being an ab scess of the throat, producing blood poison after an operation had been per formed upon him. Mr. Pope was but 40c years of age a much younger man than many persons not acquainted with him had supposed him to be, occupy ing the position he did and having amassed so large a fortune. The Richmond Tobacconist says this of him: Not a single ungenerous act is known of Mr. Pope. He never forgot a favor or let merit go unrewarded, or an ap peal to his feelings go unheeded. To the poor he was the most generous of men. To his friends and young peo ple or old he was always helpful in many ways, many of whom he gladly promoted, and many will miss his benevolent and liberai acts. Jt is greatly to the credit of any man that this may be said about him after be has passed away. We had no per sonal acquaintance with Mr. Pope but find much in his life and character to admire, as gathered from the papers since his death, and shall honor his memory as one who loved his fellow man and did much to help them and to better their condition in life. Mr. Pope was unmarried. He made his home with Maj. Ginter, with whom he was a great ' favorite? and who re garded him with the affection'of a son. 1MONDERFUL are the cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and yet they are simple and natural .

Potts, division passenger agent of Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, to the office of assistant general pas senger agent of that popular, pleasant and picturesque route. Mr. Potts will continue to have his headquarters in Richmond as heretofore. The pro motion is a deserved one, having been gained through merit alone. Mr. Potts is still a young man in years but an old one in experience and ability in railroading. He has a host of friends jn this State and throughout Virginia who will hear with pleasure of his advancement in the profession for which he has shown such aptitude and capability. DEATH OF EX-GOV. HOLT. Ex-Gov. Thomas M. Holt died at his home at Haw River Saturday after noon. He had been in declining health some time and for a week or more his death had been momentarily expected. But notwithstanding this the news of his passing away was a shock to the people of the State whom he loved and has served so we'll and faithfully. Wise and practical as was his administrates as Chief Executive, it was perhaps as a successful business man of affairs, farmer, merchant and manufacturer that Thos. M. Holt il lustrated the highest virtues of useful ness to his fellow man. As the Char lotte Observer well says: "North Carolina never had a better Governor. In his private and public life his walk was blameless. His soul was j ure and his hands were clean." Dr. Kingsbury, of the Wilmington Messenger, pays the following thought ful and accurate tribute to -the worth and character of Gov. Holt: Governor Holt made a satisfactory State Executive, and made himself popular throughout North Carolina by his business-like administration and his uniform urbanity. He was not a superior man intellectually, nor of high cultivation, but was a thoroughly equipped man of affairs, of sound judgment, of much energy and large business expeiience. He was one of the safest, discreetest, truest Governors the State has had since the war. He was a genuine North Carolinian, was public-spirited and ready to co-operate in promoting the best interests of his people and in developing the great resources of the State. He was really a valuable and useful citizen, and com niarded the respect and confidence of his party and of all who knew his rec ord and understood the man. His death deprives the State of a patriotic and devoted citizen, who was ever alive to her good name and best inter im's. He leaves a wife and many children to sorrow over his demise, and a great many personal friends who will be grieved to hear of his death.

World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. The Durham Recorder man evi dently having an eye (and mouth) more for the practical in life than "for the beauties in nature, says: Tons of paper have been used in writing graphic accounts of western North Carolina scenery about the barren and useless perpendicular mountain sides, while little has been said of the wonderful food production of the waters of the East. Last week 90,000 herring were caught down there at one haul worth alone more to humanity than the CQrq,bined grand -ieur of the Alps, the Andes, the Rock ies and the Blue Ridge. The Late Ex-Qov. T. M. Holt. XorllrCarolina never lost a better man than when ex-Governor Thomas M. Holt passed to his last rest at his home in Haw River on Saturday after noou. The whole State mourns his loss, and we do not believe a man has ever lived in the State who has enjoyed to a greater degree the esteem and un reserved confidence aud regard of all who knew him. He possessed those attributes of solid aud substantial man hood which won the respect and friend ship of all his fellow citizens. His dis tinguishing characteristics were his sincerity and his rugged and uncom promising honesty, lie was thoroughly incapable of littleness and insincerity and he despised it in others. Though one of the most successful aud affluent men in the State, he was plain,- uuas sumingaud tree from ostentation, which made it a pleasure to his friends to feel the cordial and honest shake of his hand. Few have dispeused more deeds of kiuduess and, though successful aud wealthy manufacturer that he was, noue enjoyed the gcuuine affection and esteem of the working classes of the people to a greater degree than he. Es pecially at his own home iu Haw Kiver was he kind aud considerate and thoughtful of the comfort and welfare of the workmen in the great industries which he had founded and successfully conducted. As a factor in the material upbuilding of North Carolina and the development here of great, industries few men have accomplished so great aud admirable a work. As someone remarked to this writer a few days ago, North Carolina would be iudeed blessed if she had within her bounds a thous and men like Thomas M. Holt. His death closes a useful and honorable life and he goes to his last sleep with the reverence aud respect of his fellow citi zens which will abide with them so long as memory shall last. Raleigh Press- Visitor. During the winter of 1S93, F. M. Martin of Long Reach, West, Va., contracted se vere cold which, left him with a cough. In speaking of how' he cured -it he says: "I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which relieved liie almost iastantly, and in a short time brought about a "complete cure."

R- Clark, ol the Statesville Landmark, says under the above head ing. Although the main point at issue (that of demanding a fair price for ad vertising space) was covered in what we wrote last week, ourtesy to our friend and justice to ourself demand that we allude to the matter once more. Editor Clark is mistaken when he says we are disturbed because so many of our contemp iranes are carrying the ad of the American Tobacco Compa ny. On the contrary, we have no objection, if it is carried at a rate suf. ficiently high, as in the case of the Landmark. If there is one trait that characterizes the make-up of this wri ter above another, it is that of unself ishness. We wish to see every news paper succeed. We want to see every portion ot North Carolina prosperous. We delight to speak in commendation of the effjrtsand achievements of oth ers. If they accomplish anything worthy of praise the Gold Leaf is quick to recognize the fact and ready to ap plaud the act. We do not sit and sulk and say nothing when a praiseworthy feat in journalism is performed merely because we did not do it. And so any intimation that we were actuated in what was said about this matter from a spirit of selfishrfess falls flat as un worl'iy of the man who utters it as it should be beneath our notice. It was purely in the interest and wel fare of our brethren of the press the protection of such papers as the Statesville Landmark itself, whose pub lisher recognizes in letter and spirit the code of honest journalism and adopts no method outside of legitimate busi ness principles that we have said what we have, as much as for the ben efit of the fellow who takes anything and everything that comes along re gardless of price or consequences to himself or others. If in this way we can put them "on to" the sharp prac tices of these foreign advertising agents and cause them to stand up for their rights or make them ashamed to ac" cept business on the terms proposed by some, then we shall not have written in vain, although in so doing we may not have the approbation of our es teemed Statesville contemporary whose good opinion we value so highly. That there is cause for such writing now and then (andjf the press of the State was more united along this line it would be so much the better) we have Brother Clark's own admission to bearus.out. Hear him: We agree with Mr. Manning that many newspapers, perhaps a majority in the State, take foreign advertising; at ruin ously low rates. But not all them do. The Landmark certainly does not. The ad. iu question was offered us for rvbout half what we thought it worth. We named a rate at which we would take it and the offer was accepted. That rate we regard sufficiently high. We are sat isfied with it and the conditions of the contract. Had we not been we would not have accepted the proposition, for we turn down offers almost daily simply because the advertising agents will not come to our terms. We have never said that this ad was accepted by all of the papers at lower rates than it should have been. Nor have we charged that "perhaps a ma jority of newspapers in the Srate take foreign advertising at ruinously low rates." But Brother Clark sees us one better and goes that far. We know a great many that do not, and what we want to see is for it to be said in truth that none of them do. Perhaps this will never be, but that is no reason why we may not wish for and work for such a consummation. The Landmark says that because the price offered us was not satisfac tory it is unfair to charge that the same terms were ,accepted by all the other papers. Again does our friend do us injustice. We have not made any such charge as thai. On the contrary, we know of many pa pers that we were prepared to except, the Landmark among ihem, even in the absence of its declaration above quoted. What we did say was that we had reason to believe many papers print this advertisement for almost nothing at a much' lower price than they would charge a h iue merchant, or manufacturer for the sarai space." Why do we say so? When this prop osition was sent out tothe new-papers the plates of the advertisement wen! along with it. The very week in which we received them we saw the advertisement in several of our ex changes." Business of this kind is usually sent out in a batch, a whole State or division of a State being cov ered at one time. These publishers had not had time to write and secure better rates assuming that the offer and plates reached them aboufthe same time they did us. The price of fered us was S30.00. This was in creased to 40.00 and finally to $60.00, when the matter was dropped the order ANB IT9 CTTR'R TO THE EDITOR i I hr?w an ahenV" remedy for Consumption.

But we do not know ihat the offer made them wasjno higher than the price named to us, you say. Very true, but knowing the manner of men who made it as well as some who accepted it, as we do, it-is fair to presume there was not such a wide difference as to justify its being taken on sight. We confess, however, that such presumption is not in itself sufficient. There was yet another "reason" that we had for say ing what we did. We have the word of the advertisers themselves that the offer made us (of 30.00,) was accepted by many papers of the same class as the Gold Leaf. And even at $60.00 they admit, in a letter to us after the matter had been closed, that when they failed to deal with us they lost a small profit that there would have been in the transaction had the advertising gone into our paper. That they spoke truthfully in each instance we do not question, for we have the word of our friend Clark himself that they are repu table gentlemen or words of equal import. This is why we said what we did. We wrote with an eye single to the betterment of the newspaper business in North Caroilna, and not because we aie "disturbed" about thn or any ether patronage secured by any of our breth ren of the press. Neither was it be cause we delight to jump on and "cuss" out advertising agents or any one else. That is not our nature. We find more pleasure in saying kind and compli mentary things of a person "than we do in words of criticism or abuse. A word about the advertisement in this paper of which Editor Clark speaks, and we dismiss the subject: We do not get that through an agent. It is placed direct, and we were cor responding two months before the bus. iness was got in an acceptable shape. We had run the advertisement before, and when it was sought to renew the contract more space was demanded and less pay offered. Of course we didn't accept. As it appears in this paper it occupies less space than the old one did and we get the same money for it. With the exception of the Goldsboro Headlight, Wilson Ad vance and a few other papers, we are running the smallest one of these ads appearing in the papers of this State.

Dear Sir In answer to your i nquiry about the Orinoco guano I will say I used it under to bacco, planted on very poor lacd. I used about 800 lbs. of the guano with a little cotton seed meal, and 1 have never seen sueh fine tobacco before one row through the middle of the field, by accident failed to get any guano, and while the other tobacco grew as high as your shoulders the skipped row was hardly 12 inches high. I did not have enough Orinoco for all my crop and finished up with another brand and the dif ference in favor of Orinoco was very great. The other brand was higher priced. Yours respectfully, F. AI.

Every ToJy kii vs him by eight and it will be remeiid .-rc-d that years agohe began to v. oi'.i on his upper lip, just under Lis uo.se, a small piece of court plas ter, not larger than a silver half dime; this pwiitor lie has worn constantly, though it gradually increased in size, as eve ry body knows, until it was as large as a silver dollar. This man is M. I. Nicholson, who resides at the corner of Anderson and Curran Sts. It was thirty years ago, that he first noticed a tiny scale, like a piece of vrl:e-1 bran, oft his lip. He at first thot; jht it only a fever blister, but" it v.ai not longlwfore his cheeks became diseased and painful to the touch, and he soon realized that he had fallen a victim io fciat most dreadful disease Cancer. It rapidly increased in size and severity, and remembering that his father had cancer when he died, and that his uncle also lost his life by this terrible disease, which destroyed his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr. Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed, and realized that his condition wag more than serious. M. M. NICHOLSON. Giving up entirely his business, he went to Cincinnati and remained for several months under treatment of a celebrated specialist. He was after wards treated in Elmira, New York, where the cancer was twice removed, but he declares that death was prefer able to snch treatment. It returned, however, and the disease seemed to be of a most virulent type; the doctors af forded absolutely no relief, the cancer spreading all the time, eating out en tirely the partition in the nose, as well as the upper lip and gums. 'Some months ago," he says, "I be gan to use S. S. S., though I admit with little faith that it could cure me, but to my surprise, a few bottles afforded some relief. Thus encouraged, I de termined to give the medicine a thor ough trial, and it was not long before the progress of tile disease seemed checked. I continued the medicine, and remarfcablf as it may seem, I am cured and feel like I have new life. I can talk more distinctly, for the flesh has begun to grow back around my .teeth, where it has been literally eaten away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful remedy in the world, and as my condi tion is pretty generally known, every body will agree that the cure is indeed a most remarkable one. S. S.
