otlier reprimand pom Congress
to file .away --with 'those he has
already received, j if it shall be
proven that two women were
discharged by his orders from
the U. S. Bureau ,o'f Animal! In
dustry at South Omaha, 'Nebras
ka for no other crime than I ex
hibiting pictures of Hon. W. J.
Bryan in their windows during
trie last campaign. Senator Al
len's resolution calling up jthe
Civil Service Commission fdr a
full explanation of the dismis
sal of th6se t wo women was this
week adapted by the Senate af
ter Mr. Allen, has delivered a
few caustic remarkb jhereoni, in
which' he said that the treat
ment he received from the iv
ll Service Commissin while in
search ot information about the
matter was a violation of alii de
cencies and proprieties of offi
cial life, and incidentally de
nounced the Civil Service Com
mission as a fraud, a delusion,
and a snare. Senator Allen
said he thought the discharge
of these two women was aggra
vated by the fact that six other
women of the! same' establish-
i . i' i
ment had exhibited McKinley's
pictures and were not even rep
rimanded for it,'.
Congress is just beginning to
realize that some very lively
hustling has got to be done to
'get the regular appropriation
bills through on time, and many
are predicting that all or them
will not get through It is quite
certain that not much else will
get through, and for that some
people are thankful. j. "S
If, as many suppqiwthe state
ment that GhaunceiTi)epew
will be appointed kmfassador
to England, which has come
from those close to Mr. McKin-
ley, .was put out as a feeler to
ascertain how the Seriate would
regardthe payment of the debts
of the last campaign to the mil-
lionaire element by giving them
honorable positions, it has serv
ed its purpose, even if the (re
suit isn't altogether satisfactory
to either McKinley, Hannaj or
the millionaire contributors to
Mark Hanna's election . fund.
Senators have made it plain that
they would make a fight on jthe
nomination . of Mr. Depew,! or
any other man, whose relations
to jthe Vanderbilts, Pierrepont
Morgan and other corporation
controllers make itapparent
that the nomination is made; in
payment forcampaign contribu
tions. This opposition .might
not be strong enough to ..clef eat
a man whose personajl friends
are as numerous as those'of Mr.
Depew, but it will make' state
ments which will stir up .public
opinion to such an extent that
Mr. McKinley will be certain to
regret having made the appoint
ment, if he does it. " ' - - j
Republicans would gladly let
the moneV question drop, that
is, the leaders of the party
would, but it contiuually crops
out in both House and Senate,
and every time it doe the mon
etary chasm in the Republican
party, which was temporarily
bridged by the bimetallic plank
of the St. Louis platform, is seen
to widen.. 'Li ttleBillee" Chan
dler stuck a red flag on top of
that plank and Shook 1 1 mean -ingly
in McKinley's face when
he madethat bimetallic speech
in the : Senate, while eastern
members if-;the House, especial
ly Fowler,;df New Jersey, and
several NewvYorkers, openly re
pudiated that plank while op
posing before the House Coin
age Committee the bill author
izing a monetary conference.
" Although the reported row be
tween Speaker Reed and Repre
sentative JbJoutelle, of Me., has
been repeatedly denied by oth
ers, neither of the principals
haye said a word. They do not,
speak to each other when they
pass, and members of the House
are wondering how Boutelle wall

man of the Committee or For
eign Relations and the place
will go to Senator Davis, of
Minn., who is now third mem
ber of the committee, if the Re
publicans are allowed to fill the
vacancies that will exist after
March 3rd. There is some in
teresting gossip in connection
with Senator Frye. As second
member of the committee he is
entitled by all the precedents of
the Senate to the chairmanship,
but he is said to have abandon
ed his claim because he was told
that a fight would be made -in
caucus to keep him out of it on
account of his Cuban sentiments.
The friends of Cuba will be glad
to see Senator Davis at the head
of the Committee;' they have
not forgotten the red hot speech
for free Cuba he made early in
the present session.
The receipts of the post offices
of the country are regarded as
an indisputable barometer of
the condition of business. A
statement given out this week
by Postmaster General Wilson
shows the gross receipts of 30
of thapostoffices in the largest
cities tor January 1896 and Jan
uary 1897. Twenty of the offi
show a decrease, the greatest in
years. Another proof of delay in
the arrival of promised prosper
ity, another proof that those
who declared business began
to improve the day after the
election were mistaken.

Waynesvilie Becoming a Factory
Town New Enterprises.
From the Asheville Citizen ot Feb. 23.
' Waynesvilie is far from being
at the rear of the procession in
the way of enterprise and pro
gress. In tact, there is not an
other town in Western North
Carolina that has as bright
prospects for the future as Hay
wood's capital. ! !
About April 1st the Junalus
ka Leather company will start
the wheels going in their splen
did tannery which is now about
complete, being,located on Rich
land creek, about one and a half
miles from the court ifby
is expected that 100 hands will
be employed in this enterprise
when in full operation, and 300
hides will be finished each day.
It will require 5,000 hides to fill
its vats, and 20. cords jof bark
will be consumed daily. The
demand for tan bark created by
the establishment of this indus
try will be felt throughout the
western counties. Four dollars
per ton of 2240 pounds will De
paid by the company for chest
nuxDaK.ana nemiocK- arK ae
livered at the tannery: The
capital of the company is $50,
000. . -I '1
The W. H. Cole Lumber land
Manufacturing company j is an
other industry that is adding to
the prosperity of Waynesvilie.
The concern is in full operation
and employs from 25 to 30
hands. . It manufactures wood
pumps, pored pump logs, staves
and headings and all kinds of
sawed lumber. It has purchased
the timber right on about 1000
acres of land lying at the toot
of what is known as Plott's Bal
sam, and has built a narrow
gauge railroad from its plant to
tlie timber, a distance of three
miles. 1
Ellas & Moore is another man
ufacturing establishment that
is doing a flourishing, business.
They are conducting, a harrel
stave factory. Last yeaT they
made 300,000 staves . for the
Standard Oil company, and are
now filling an order for 5000,000
staves for the same company.
These staves are to be used in
making oil barrels, and are
shipped directly to Germany;
? fhe Howell Mill company, a
ler flouring mill plant, is an
other valuable industry started
in the recent past. The) capacity
of the mill is 50 barrels of flour
per day, and most of its output
is sold in the counties west ot
Asheville. The owners are Al
den Howell and K. Howell, two
of Haywood's most substantial
men. ' . ;
The County Fair at the State
; - - Normal.
If Haywood has not entirely
forgotten, her four representa
tives at the State Normal, per
haps the readers of the Courier
will be interested in a brief ac
count of the County Fair given
here in honor of our visitors
from the Legislature, on Friday
evening, Feb. 12th.
- , This entertainment was given
by the students ; all the girls
frpm each couty taking pare and
.representing . their respective
countiesln any way that suited
their fancy, usually showin g off
its products and gendral advan
tages in the most unique way
possible. All the different fea
tures of our State were well
brought out from the sailors
and cotton pickers of the eastern
counties to the tobacco growing
and manufacturing counties in
the central part.
Among these, Guilford varied
the performance by introducing
a batallion of Continental sol
diers. They marched across the
stage singing "My Country 'tis
of Thee" with true Revolution
ary spirit.
Last, but not least came the
representatives of the Land of
the Sky, among which, we hope,
Havwood was not the least to be
considered. Our county was
represented by a ' tableau in
which 'Miss Oberia Rogers as
pretty a picture as. Maud Muller
ever'did in a field of Hay. Miss
Emma Norwood represented a
typical mountaineer with the
results of her labor as a ivood
cutter around her. In the back
ground Miss Annie Gudger,
bearing the county bannei, rep
resented the Goddess, of Peace
and Plenty with the products of
our fruitful land heaped around
her in characteristic profusion.
While Miss Elsie Gwyn recited
a few verses of her own compo
sition of the scenes to the name
of our county.
Alter the county exhibits
came the most interesting fea
ture of the eyening,a mock Leg
islature, with the House and
Senate in joint discussion, com
posed of' representatives from
the various counties. Miss Mc-j
uilford presided as
President the Senate, Miss
Gwyn as Speaker of the - House.

after a hot debate, the bill was

prolonged abplause from our
Legislative friends in the audi

grand tableau of about ninety
five girls. In their midst was
the Great Seal of the State in
which Misses Gudger and Little
posed as the figures represented
on it, while not only the stuents,
but all present, united their
voices in singing"The Old North

. Dear Courier: 'In the course
ot human events it became nec
essary" one day last week for
Revenue Officers Sherrill and
Tid well, to arrest two men, who,
not having the fear of said offi
cers in their hearts, were dis
pensing 'mountain dew" over
the land, and to the inhabitants
therof, and give them lodging
in Sheriff Hen son's boarding
house. With the moonshiners
they also scooped in two kegs of ;
the sparkling : beverage they
were dispensing. The men were
duly placed on the inside of the
steel cages, for such cases made
and provided, and the kegs were
snugly stowed in the room orisr-
inally made for the accommo
dation of the gentler sex should
it ever become necessary to
abridge the personal liberty of
one of them. Well, the friends
of the two men came to their re-
lief and made bonds for their
appearance befpre Judge Dick

liberty ; but the two kegs of wet
goods were retained for future
reference. But last Sunday
