Hisce 1 824 there has been no beef Agricultural season, and the people have never been freer from distress. There are many signs of the material and moral im provement of the people. Navigation of the great 1ak-s dur ing the season of 1893 Resulted in the loss of 123 lives. The number of ves sel lost was fifty-three, with an ag gregate tonnage of 24,25, and valued at $1,0IO,40'. Partial looses by etran lings, collisions and nres bring the total up 32, 1 1 2, -W. The shallow waters of Lake Erie claimed nearly half the lives lost, Lake Huron beia second. Manuscripts by noted authors have so great a value as autographs that with in the past few years some authors have stipulated with publishers that their manuscript should be kept clean perhaps copied on a typewriter fot giving out to the printers and re turned to them, that their families may traffic in them after they are dead, presumably. T. B. Aldrich is said to be one rf the authors wi al ways wants his copy back. Oklahoma is going to knock very hard for admission as a State, declares the St. Louis Star-Sayings. TlnTer ritory was. organized only three yeirs ago, but in population and wealth it i9 to-day far in advance of the other Ter ritories seeking admission as States. The report accompaying the applica tion for admission as a Stta shxvs that she has 2,372,4SJ a?r33 ot land in farm usa valued at $13,022, 345. In the lat year the farmers har vested 284,254 acres of corn, 222,319 acres of wheat, 10 1,374 acres of oats, 21,311 acres of cotton, IS, 755 acres of sorghum, 14,121 acres of Hungarian millet, and 4425 a?res of broom corn. It is almost as large as th9 State of Illinois, and Iris a population of about 250,0:10, which is greater thau that of any other State when alniittel to tho Union. Its assessed valuation ol property in 1891 amounted to$o,87, 928, which in 1893 had increased to 813,951,056. It has six National banks with deposits of 585.574. The Terri torial Legislature has been attentive to educational matters, au I there are already in nearly all the districts school-houses, normal schools, col leges, and an agricultural and me chanical college at the town of Still water. In religions matters it has als. kept pace with many of the older States. In the Territory there are 165 Mctholist churches, twenty-five Baptist, tw?nty-four Congregational, twenty-five Catholic, twenty-four Pres byterian, six Episcopal, and fifty Christian Endeavor Societies. This is a remarkable showing for Oklahoma, and we can scarcely believe, adds the Star-Saying, that Congress can refuse Uer admission. Bays the New Orlo.ans Picayune: "Now that the record of business fail ures during 1HJ3 is available, sonu very remarkable facts are brought to light. In the first place, according to Bradstreet's, the totalhusiness failures during the past year amonuted to au increase of fifty-one per cent, ovar the previous year, the largest increase as well as the greatest total for a single year on record. The liabilities were correspondingly large, but, as usual in panic years, the assets bear a larger proportion to th-f liabilities than is usually the case. The failures are greatest in the central Western States, and were heavy in the Eastern and Middle States, large on the Pacific coast, and comparatively light in the South. In four Southern Stutes the total failures for the year were actually smaller than during the previous year, these four States being Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi Louisiana showed only ninety-six fail ures, against 116 during 1832, which is a remarkable showing considering the financial panic and the monetary pressure which prevailed here during the summer. Not only was the total number of failures light, but the show ing of assets and liabilities was small considering the business contraction. The total liabilities of failing traders were a trifle more than a million of dollars, the bulk of which a few insti tutions were responsible for, so that, eliminating a couple of large failures, the individual liabilities of the bulk of the failing traders were insignificant. The reason of s.ieh small business casualties in the Southern States named is not hard to seek. There has been, fo- institute, no disposition to inflate values cf recent years in this section, and pov crops, coupled with unsatisfactory pr;ees, for several years in succession, forced ipon tha people a policy of rigid economy and con servatism which left little room for excessive and euddea financial pres sure. Thf immunity of the South from financial disaster has turned tri9 att sntion of investors in this direction, and, consequently, placed our people in a position to profit by the first d " of rturniiic i'tucQ " PITHY NEWS ITEMS.

And Engineer Lewis, of the Spartan Cotton Mill, Killed. Spartanbcro, S. C. A terrible ac cident oecnred at the Spartan Cotton Milla Tuesday morning at ten minutes to C o'clock, which resulted in the death of Engineer James, Lewis ihd lhe dea truc'ion of lhe boiler and engine room. The large fly wheel, which is 24 feet in diameter, and seven feet wide, flew to pieces, demolishing the walls and timbers of the engine room and tearing off the roof. The falling of the walls nd roof awakened the sleeping ihhabiiarits. for squares away. People rushed out of their houses, thinking that another earthquake had come. Large pieces of the fly-wheel, weighing hundreds of pounds, were hurled through the mas sive briek walls and worked destruc tion wherever ihey struck. Engineer Lewis, was, as eoon as pos-rible, removed from the ruins. His body was in a mangled condition and considerably burnt by eteam. What caused the accident is not known; it is a thing that no one can explain. Capt. Montgomery, the pres ident of the tnillp, has a large fotce o! hands clearing away the wreck, and in thiity days" time it is thought that the mill will be running again. Should it take longer than thirty dayp the pay of the employees of the mill will continue until work is re sumed. Must Bestir Themsetvts. Brerah-, the fainou's German sea port, has addressed an official com munication to Clarksville, Tenn. These two ends of the earth have thus come together, because, as Bremen charges and Clarksville admits, the tobacco packed at the latter place and shipped to the former falls far shoit of the samples furnished to the Bre men tobacco importers. The Import ers announced that thev wonll give fad more orders for Clarksviiie tobacco' bntil a satisfactory reply should have been received to the circular of com plaint. The Clarksville Tobacco Board of Trade, which had already been investigating the question of fraudulent tobacco packing, not only sent a full and satisfactory reply to Bremen, but thanked the importers for their circular of complaint, and henceforth Clarksville is likely to maintain her good repute in the tobacco importing world. Clarksville is a town of 8,000 inhabitants, the county seat of Montgomery county, up on the Kentucky border and the depot for a large tobacco-growing area. As Bremen is a tobacco port of extensive trade, neither Clarksville nor any other American depot can be comfortable when the Bremen tobaCeti ihlpdrters look askance at its products.

In a whiskey raid at Wcllford, 12 miles from this city, Crawford Ballew was shot and killed by State Constable Massey. The Coroner's jury rendered the following verdict, which is singular in its phraseology: "We, the coroner's jury, agree that the deceased, Crawford Ballew, came to his death on February 3, 1894 by a gun-shot wound in the hands of F. G. Massey, while resisting officers of the law." Massey was then placed under arrest. Sam Jones and Ingalls Meet. Nashville, Tenn. When Evange list Sam Jones called for penitents at the Gospel Tabernacle in this city, where he is holding a revival, the first person in the line of those who went forward to take his extended palm was no less a personage than Hon. John James Ingalls. of Kansas. Mr. Ingalls was in Nashville to lecture. "I endorse every word you say," he remarked earnestly as he grasped the evangelist's hand. "God bless you," responded Mr. Jones, fervently. " Populists are Organizing. Raleigh, N. C The Populists are thus early beginning to bold county meetings for the purpose of organizing clubs. At each meeting a letter from Chairman Taubeneck, of the national executive comrnitte, is read urging the immediate organization of clubsvin each township. It is said these clubs are to meet publicly and have no sign or passwords, such as the Populists used in their organization two years ago, and that their motto will be" "an honest government and a fair count." Passei the Senate. RicnMONp, Va. The Senate passed the joint resolution ordering a vote at the November election on the question of so amending the constitution as to dispense with jury tiials in cases of mis ienir-anor, and thus giving trial justices the jurisdiction and power they had before the decision of the Supreme Couit of Appeals in the cele-bifit.-d Miller case. The bill only awi ;ts the t-igLstme of the Governor to become a law. Hanged For Killing His Sweetheart. At Winston, N. C, in the presence of over 6,000 people, Peter DeGraff, paid the penalty of the murder of his sweetheart, Ellen Smith. Sheriff Mc Arthur sprung the trigger at 12:55 and in an instant the life of the condemned man was out. His neck was broken and death was instantaneous, but the heart's action continued for seven minutes. In his speech DeGraff made a con fession of the crime, which he has always bitterly ' denied. He talked rapidly but wos not excited. He said: "That thing Von call corn liquor, cards, dice, an l other games of chance, pistols and bad women, are the things which hive brought me to this place, to Ftuud on this scaffold. I have kep t back for months what I am going to tell you God told me to keep it lack. es,' I shot tht woman. I was drunk nt the time. I put th pistol to her breast and tired it. The only words she said after I shot, were: 'Lord.have mercy on me.' I stand here to-day to jreeive my just reward." He concluded his remarks by telling his heareTs not to do as he had done. When Peter shook hands and told hi two brothers and the officers gSd Vj?: the scene was a sad one. He gave his Bible to his youngest brother. Fersirrmons and Crab Apples cn One Tree. "Thre is a curiosity in the tree line near Cobntts, Ga., that I never saw mentioned in print," ssid Lee Jordan of Cleveland. "It is a tree which bears persimmons on one 6ide and W ild crab apples upon theotber. Of course, as a rn:!tt?r of fact. there are two trees, but it t kts a very close examination foj onvineen perron that thereare. They h ive grown so closely together that ach has lost it identity, so far as ap pearance is concerned, and the people in its neighborhood insist that it is but one tree The persimmon side is lb? mopt frnitful.andprodrices A fairly good yield of fruit, which is not in the least affected by the presence of the vab apples. The other side does not !eai very wel', and it is only during in occasional year that there is a yield :f crab apples, but both sides have been known io bear good crops in the same year.

A new process of making rain was recently brought before the Academic des Sciences, Paris, by M. Baudoin. His theory is that electricity main tains the" water in clouds in a state of small drop's aril that if the electricity be discharge! the water will como down. Several farmers who had been sum moned before London magistrates ou the charge of selling adulterated milk, were dismissed ou proof that the thin quality of the milk was due, not to added water, but to the impaired con dition of the cows, in consequence of the great drouth. A somewhat widespread belief is that water can be heated drily to 212 degrees Fahr. This is true of uucon fined water, but under a pressure of ten atmospheres (150 pounds to the square inch) the water may be heated to 359 degrees, and under sixty atmo spheres 531 degrees may be reached. The bee works harder than most peo ple would believe. There about 6ixty flower tubes in every head of clover, and only a tiny morsel of honey iu each. In order to get enough sugar for a load the bee must visit about six thousand different flowers, and each bee makes, on an average, twenty triiH a day. A Stolen Relic of '64. Raleigh N. C TheState Treasurer has received a State bond which was found to have quite a history. At the clos? of the war Federal troops at the then hamlet of Durham, forced open a safe belonging to the family of the late Gen. L. O'B. Branch, of Raleigh, and from this took several bonds. By a special act of the Legislature dupli cate bonds were issued to replace the stolen ones, and these duplicates were all received at the Treasury some years ago. When the stolen bond was received it was found that fn at tempt bad been made to forge one signature and that another nam e was written which is unknown in this State. The stolen bond had thus for years been in use as a valid security. Pobteries Galore. Lake City, S. C. Quite n perios of robberies have been committed along the line of the Northeastern railroad within the last three days.

Respect is a safeguard which pro tects both great and small alike. I'erfect physical beauty is almost al ways accompanied by a coldness of stupidity. Intellect is the lever which moves the world ; but the fulcrum of intel lect is m-uey. The sentiment which men find most difficult to ber is pity, especially wher they deserve it. Vfe can cauterize a wound, but we know no remedy for the hurt pro duced by words. . Two souls with but a single thought don't often turn th-st thought on to the cost of bving. A wife is usually a powerful extin guisher to ins man who thinks he will set the world on fira. A guilty conscience is like a whirl pool, drawing into itself all which would otherwise pass by. There is nothing stranger than how small a cause sudices us to set man against man, life or death. The beg ir polishes his crutch for the same reason the king gilds his throne it belongs to him. Flattery never emanates from great souls. It is an attribute of small minds, who thus still further belittle them selves to enter into the vital being of the persons about whom they crawL Not to listen is not merely a lack of politeness, it is a mark of contempt. Though such impertinence is accepted without protest from a noted man, it produces a leaven of hatred and mal ice deep down in the heart ; among equals it often goes so far as t dis solve friendship. A Two-Inch Hole Over a Mile Peep. The deepest boring of which we have any knowledge up to the present time, says Revue Scientifiquc, is at Parv schowitz, in the District of Ribnik, in Western Silesia. The depth attained is 6568 feet, and the diauietcr of the hole is only 2.75 inches. The work has been temporarily stopped in order to lower especial thermometers, which have been made with groat accuracy, into the hole for the purpose of ob taining the temperatnro at different depths. The boring will then lie re sumed, and it is hoed that a depji. j b209 feet will be reached. Newton and Statesville . Copper Works (ESTABLISHED IN 1882) A. D. GOODNIGHT, Pro.
