As stated in my letter last week, the President has determined to appoint Mr. R. B. Glenn United States District Attorney and Mr. Kope Elms Collector of Internal Revenue for the Western District of North Caro lina. On Monday both appointments were made. For weeks It baa been un derstood that this would be the arrange ment, but until the Cabinet met on Fri day it was not definitely settled, and even then the President might have broken the slate. It is a way he bas of doing, when he takes a notion. But he had studied the situation in our State most carefully and had come to the conclusion that this administration ought to recog nize Glenu and Elias above all other aspirants. He knew all about Glenn's vigorous campaign and liecameconvincedH that to ignore him would be to greatly lisapjtoint the rank and tile as well km the leader in all sect ions of the State. He got the standing of Mr. Glenn as an attorney anil as a man, and while he ronaIly preferred to reward Mr. Kope Elias to any other man in North Carolina, he lat-ame convinced that Glenn ought to have the District Attorneyship. Then came the Collectorship. What to do with that and how to ry-coguize Mr. Elias? There was much good timber from which to select a Collector. Sedator Vance bad strongly urged, Mr. H. A. Gudger. a ca pable man, whime services to the party have lieen most conspicuous. Hut Sena tor Hansom, while agreeing with Senator Vance in endorsing Glenn and Allison, had not given his endorsement to Mr. tfUdger. Then there were such prime good men as Gaither Hall, Col. Hill Wil liams, Manly Mc. MclXiwell, Col. Paul B. Means, and W. H. Pinuix, (who had, as delegates, voted for Cleveland at Chicago) J. I Scales, Cooper, of Iredell and oth ers. It was a company of select men front which to make a selection. Out of this number of good men to choose from it was impossible for the President to make a mistake. Hut it wasn't easy to choice among such good material. Mr. Elias had as strong endorsements as any man ever received iu North Carolina. All tlie Supreme and Superior Court judges, all the State officers and most of the "exs, all the' leading politicians, many business men from ull sections, and all the members of Congress testified to his ability, high standing and success. Add to these endorsements the fact that he was the first North Carolina delegate to wire Mr. Cleveland, ''lou will get one vote from ortn Carolina, u no more, and that he was so conspicuous $1,600 in the Treasury Department, baa been appointed by the Commissioner of Pensions on the board of Examining Surgeons for this city, j There are three such boards for every large eity in the North. A position on these boards is greatly sought after as tbey alone can make examination of applicants for pen sions. The 'position to which Dr. Ruffin has been appointed will pay between tSKK) and $1,200 a year, and is in the direct line of his profession. Though having to earn a livelihood fn the Treas ury, be baa gained so high a standing among leading doctors; tbat for three and a half years he has been professor in one of the leading medical colleges, and has built up a fair practice, beside. Tli is appointment puts him in a position which money could not buy. It enables him to resign his place ;in the treasury, gives him a practice worth $1,000 a year, and takes so little of bis time that he can devote most of his tjme to the regu lar practice of his profession for which he has fitted himself. He will continue as lecturer in the medical college. North Carolina boys will go to the top ! All his friends in North Carolina will rejoice in Dr. Kuffin'8 deserved pipce of good for tune. Within ten rears he will rank among the most successful doctors here. "Yes, and thank you, too." The Presi dent thought it was good. Miss Addie Williams, local editor of the Charlotte Observer, spent Sunday and Monday in Washington. Having been officially voted by the North Carolina Editorial Association the best local editor in the State, I do not see how the i)tser ver gete on in her absence. But Joe Cald well is a very good editor if he does wear breeches. Senator Vance was here last week and said to the Charlotte Observer correspon dent: " I came on for Glenn, Gudger, Hale and to secure the appointment of a few postmasters. No one of these matters brought me, and I could not have come for any one of tbem. I am regaining my health and strength in the mountain air by taking plenty of exercise and sunshine, and but for public duties would stay at borne all the summer. " . ' Mr. Walter G. Moore, of Jackson coun ty, who is strongly endorsed for Assistant District Attorney is here. in Chicago in furthering Mr. Cleveland's as a tact mat Laxzie rrnmiil one ot her okl dream a day or two after the mur der. She said that she got paint on it some month previous when the house was (tainted. Thi burning was done in the presence of others, and police officers were actually in another part of the house at the time. VI bat is more, the defence ha proved that Lizziedid not wear that dress on the day of the munler. Sn after the arrest of Lizzie Borden her sister Emma visited her in the police station at Fall River. It is said that the sisters quarreled and separated in anger; that Lizzie said to Emma, "You gave me away, Ac. This Lmma positively denied when called as a witness by the defence. And it has been proved that the matron to sign a card for publication in the newsjwjiers denying Ibe story, but the police marshal refused to inve his consent to tier so doing. The counsel for the defence attempted to introduce a sensational circumstance, but the Commonwealth's lawyers fought it tnd kept it out. It was the story of a trench -Canadian wood cnopiier living at Steep Brook, on the edge of Fall River. lie saw a lunatic witu an axe in ibe woods. The man was all bloody, and kept saying. "Poor Mrs. Borden," "Poor Mrs. Borden. This was on the day arter the munler. Lizzie Borden grew brighter and bright er witn tbe daily improvement m ner prosiiect. It was when the court threw out tbe prussie-acid testimony that she beean to chance her demeanor. 'oe at up straight and firm. She opened ... . wide her big brown eye, picked up ner bouquet and smelled it and put its blos soms in better order. A msy blush came over her face. Her age is 32 and her distiosition even more than her years baa made her an old maid. She baa never cared much for the sticiety of men. It is conceded that her ife, so far as her neighbors know that ife, baa been tbat of good. Christian woman. It la doubtless true mar. roe was at enmity with her stepmother al though even this is denied but it ap- CarstbatVhe was affectionate towards tr father. Here the prosecution en countered a serious obstacle. Admitting that she bad malice towanl her step mother, what motive could he bare bad for killing her father! Fatal Fire la Wllaaiartoa. WnjH.rr. N.C- June 17. A stub born fire in a brick warehouse owned by tbe Cakler estate on Water street occu pied tbe attention of the firemen from 2 to i lid. to-day. Tbe building was tored with cotton and molasses. The losa is climated at from $19,000 to f-'O,- 000. well covered by Insurance uunng the earir nrofiress of the fire part of tbe front wall of the building fell, killing Joaeoh B. Wiliard. aged 23, one of the and popular members oi preciation of the President and his lead ing supporters I say, take these togeth er ami it is not surprising that the Presi dent appointed Mr. Elias Collector. Though his enemies have often accused him of it, Mr. Cleveland does not forget his real friends. Now that he has ap pointed Kope Elias the charge of failing to recognize those who have .stood by him can never be made in North Carolina again, or course there will be some dis apjointment on the part of the friends of the unsuccessful candidates, but that will be tempered by the fact that Mr. Cleveland has done what he was general ly expected to do, and what was natural for him to do under the circumstances. Mr. Elias will make an efficient officer. He has executive ability of a high order, is a good business man, understands tne practical workings of tbe Internal Reve nue laws, and has tbe prudence and good sense to entorce inctu witnoui iriviion and great annoyance. I hazard nothing in predicting that he will so man age the office as to justify the wisdom of the appointment. He managed his campaign here in North Carol iua in his efforts to secure the posi tion with consummate skill and wisdom. and bis policy won him many friends and admirers. His administration of tbe office will further demonstrate the wis dom of the President. It is needless to say that Senator Ransom favored the ap pointment of Glenn and Elias as the best solution of the contest iu the Western District and in this desire he was joined by most of the Representatives. Long live and great success to Glenn and Elias! Tbey have won their promotion honorably and by devotion to tbe party's and the public's highest interest. They will both make their appoiutments popu lar with all with whom they have deal ings in their official capacity, and their administration will strengthen tbe party. It is expected that Hon. F. M. Sim mons and Mr. Chas. B. Ay cock will soon be appointed collector and attorney re spectively in tbe Eastern district. It will not be later than the first of August. Tbe sooner tbe better. It is a high com pliment to these two Democrats (the biggest and ablest in Eastern North Carolina) that theae two positions are given them unanimously. The only re gret about it is that tbey have not been appointed sooner. .... i . I went to church Sunday morning and heard Bishop Taylor, the Meth odist bishop of Africa. He occupies unique position in I the Christian world, if I correctly understood it. He is a bisnop or bis cnorcn in Ainca, but when in America does not have the authority to exercise his Episcopal office. HU work among tbe negroes in Africa has been markedly successful. He wears long beard and looks like he has spent his life iu the heart of Africa. His ser mon did not indicate that he was a great man, but his self-denial and success among the heathen entitle him to high rank among the most useful men of his day. Iu his sermon he described the death of an African King, and paid that though he knew nothing of Christ, he believed that he was saved. He spent all the night before he died in prayer and cried out, in his own tongue, "My God, O, My God. I a.iu thy man. I am clinging to thee, O, My God." Tbe bishop said that as this man showed bis faith in a God, and trusted to Him in the trying hour of death, he did not for a moment believe be wa lost. How does this comport with the doctrine that some men preach that all the heathen will be eternally damned? The Bishop said that while this King died trusting in a higher power, he was one of millions, nearly all of whom live besotted Secretary Carlisle illustrates the opera tion of the Sherman silver act by the fol lowing statement: "The records of the Treasury-Department show that during the thirteen months beginning May 1, 1892, and end ing May 21, 1893, the coin Treasury notes issued for tbe purchase of silver bullion under the act of July 14, 1890, amounted to $49,961,184, and that during the same period the amount of such notes paid in gold was $47,745,173. It thus appears that all the silver bullion purchased dur ing that time except f 2,2 lfl.Oll worth was paid for in gold, while the bullion itself is stored in the vaults of the Treas ury and can neither be sold nor used for the payment of any kind of obligation How long the government shall thus be compelled to purchase silver bullion and increase the public debt by issuing coin obligations in payment for it, is a ques tion which Congress alone can answer. The Secretary of State is in receipt of a despatch from the United States Min ister at La Paz, Bolivia, in which he speaks of a curious reform in the curren cy in Bolivia only just accomplished. If appears that when bank notes were first issued in Bolivia there was great dearth of fractional currency. It consequently became the custom to make change by tearing the bank notes into fractions.

Yes, it just wonderful to one who knows what this town was in 1875, to come back here occasionally and at every visit see how the town is steadily growing. But it has been only within the last three or four years that the town has experienced its most solid growth. Kockv Mount, with prudence and public spirit on the part of her enterprising citizens has had no backward movement as a live manufac turing and business centre. The reason The attendance is large considering tbe fact that a great number of teachers have arranged to attend the World's Fair this summer. After an introduc tion by Mr. John J. Blair, of Winston, president of the assembly. Col. A. M. Waddell, of Wilmiugton, delivered the ojcni"ng address. Col. E. G.

I This decision is greatly to be regretted I had hoped that the exhibit tbat would most impress foreisrn visitors would be xVmerica's observance of the Christian Sabbath by closing all places that secular ize the Sabbath. But I do not doubt that that court has decided according to law. The State of Illinois and the city of Chi cago could close the Fair if public senti ment there wanted it closed, but even in ji instance so desirable it would be dan fjerous if an act of Congress could over ride the will of a sovereign State. Better tbat an evil go uncorrected than that the bulwarks of our liberties should be torn down. There is no Southern State in which public sentiment would have tol erated the opening of the Fair on Sun- day. People say that this regard for Sunday shows our provincialism. Per haps; but give me provincialism every I ing jokes and guying one another in true note for the old fractional notes is now in progress, and holders of torn bills are warned by legal advertisements in the newspapers to present them for redemp tion before June 30. The Washington correspondent of the New York Press, a Republican organ said on June 15th: "To a prominent Democratic Senator Mr. Maxwell said to-day that he had ap pointed since his accession to ofnee no less than 7,000 postmasters. Mr. Max well's boast, together with Postmaster Bissell'8 rescinding of the order tbat a postmaster should only be removed for good cause, shows that the Postoftice Department is as completely saturated with the spoils idea as the Treasury and the Interior." It would have done any North Caro linian good to have dropped in at the Metropolitan Hotel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. There was such a large gathering of choice North Carolina spirits that, next to Paradise, there could lie no sweeter atmosphere. lou could see them in little groups in the office, writing rooms, parlors, and on the sidewalk tell- nuMl f tin KaTn Ofc Dr. Sterling Ruffin, formerly of Wil- tb Howard Company waa seriously hart.

There will be very general rejoicing in North Carolina when it is known that the colored postmaster at Morehead City has been removed. More North Carolina people have business dealings with that office than any other in the State because j story tellers of the lot, and they seemed it is our chief seaside resort.

Shaw, strong, first-class tobacco market Situated in the midst of the bright tobacco belt with the best possible facilities for transportation, there is nothing else to be desired so far as location is concerned And the farmers of that section finding out, from experience, that it brings them more money to the acre than cotton, have been encouraged to increase the acreage until now if Rocky Mount did not get but very little tobacco from other sections, she has a territory of her own that will support her market handsomely. But she does get, and will continue to get, a great deal of tobacco from other sections It is shipped by the carload iu hogsheads from quite a distance. The cause of this is that there are here a corps of first class buyers and warehousemen who make the golden weed bring its full value. There are three' principal warehouses, one managed by iThorp & Ricks, one by Jeffreys & Jeffreys, and one by Davis & Hawkins. These houses are large, com modious buildings, well equipped for selling and handling tobacco, and the proprietors are men who thoroughly uri derstand tneir business, uavis fc uaw- II. A.

North Carolina at The World's Fair. 16 prize-houses and leaf factories. They are large buildings, three to five stories, both brick and frame. ; I could write columns about this mar ket, but must wait till another time. As a cotton market in the fall the town is un with any in the State of its size. As a railroad centre it is destined to be one of the most important in the State. Besides being on the main line of the W. & W., it - is the terminus ot tne Norfolk & Carolina railroad and the A & R.road,from Plymouth to Spring Hope, goes through the town. JI venture to say that as many trams pass through and stop at this town .during 24 hours as at any other point in tne state, ine erec tion of the machine shops here by the Atlantic Coast Line and the putting down of so many side tracks, I am unformed, is only a beginning or wnat tney are go ing to do. Within the last two weeks there has been organized a land and improve ment company in which are a number of capitalists and railroad men. They have bought 177 acres of land, the object ot this company is not merely to buy and sell land for speculation, but to eucour- , 1 ! . . . age manuractures; ana jr any company or individual wants land to put down a plant this company proposes to meet them half way and take stock ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. This is business. The cotton mill, one mile from town has re cently been enlarged and is now one of largest in the State. I will go out there on my next visit ana nave someining more to say about it. Anv number of handsome residences have been built within the last two years, and others are now in course of erection. Mr. Dorsey Battle has established here a branch of the Keely Institute. He cer tainly has a delightful place for curing those, who are addicted to the whiskey and morphine habit a; quiet place in a desirable part of the town and accessible to the depot, so that the patient can be brought to the Institute without being paraded through the streets. The building and grounds are comforta ble and- large, and the surroundings in every way most attractive. I could say more about KocKy Aionnt, its enterprise and its publicspirited citizens, enough has been said to show that it is destined to grow; and become one of the most thriving and enterprising towns in the State. i ! I H. B. H. , About ISO, OOO Worth ol Truck Seat From Kinton. Kliiston Free Prexs. A telegram from Cincinnati on the 14, mst., announced the sale ot a ear load ot truck at the following prices: Prime potatoes $3.50; seconds $2.50. Beans $2.50. The price on beans was especially good, as they have been bringing scarce ly anything in northern markets. Our truckers nave snipped eignt car loads of truck to Chicago and seven to Cincinnati, the car load rates to those places being being very little more than to northern points. The prices from these western cities, so far as heard from, are very good. Mr. J. vi. Grainger made the best crop of potatoes around here. From 50 acres he has shipped about 3,300 barrels, an average of 66 barrels to the acre. We think Messrs. tlarvey & t leids averagea next best, about 50 barrels to the acre on between 60 and 75 acres on both farms. Mr. A. Mitchell shipped alxut 1,300 bar rels from about 30 acres. The average yield in this section this season was be tween 50 an 60 barrels. Messrs. Harvey & Field and Mr. J. W. Grainger are shipping a good many fine cucumbers, which are selling at about 2.00 a bushel box. If the price holds up they will continue to ship them for some time. I !' We estimate that at least 80, 000 worth of truck has been sent fron Kinston this season, considerable quantities nave also been sent from Falling Creek, La Grange and si few other points in the county. ) As an advertising medium through which to reach the farmers of Wake and adjoining counties the North Cabouxun eada tbem all. other buildings. Instead of being cov ered with stulf like the other buildings its sides are constructed of slabs of lum ber, and surrounding it is a veranda supported by columns composed of trunks of trees in their natural state, with the bark on them. This gives quite a rustic appearance to this building and also at a glance gives an idea of the dif ferent varieties of timber that are ex hibited within. The roof is thatched with tanbark, and the interior is finished in various woods so as to show their beautilul graining and glossy polish. In this building are exhibited the timbers and forest products . of every part of the world, not only huge logs and sections of trees but worked lumber in all shapes and designs: lhe exhibit from Brazil was especially attractive, and by far the best that we saw. Such highly polished and large slabs of mahogany we had never before seen. The North Carolina exhibit in this building was one of the best displayed bv any State. . Indeed there were two exhibits from this State one installed as the State's exhibit by our State officials and the other being the private exhibit of Mr. George Vanderbilt from his extensive estate near Asheville, Both of these exhibits showed to great advantage the great variety and superior quality ol Iorth Carolina s timbers, and are a valuable advertisement of our for ests. m m Next to the Transportation building is the Mines and Mining building, which contains everything that is useful or beautiful in the mineral kingdom. Here may be seen the best specimens of the mineral resources and products, not only of every portion of the United States but of every iortion of the whole world. The i i t . r . i .1 e : . mineral c.xuiuii oi cacti oiaic aiiu loreigu country is separate and distinct, and all are very art istically arranged. A promi nent and conspicuous position has been ssigned to North Carolina, directly in front of one of the main entrances, and our exhibit presents a very creditable ap pearance. Not only is it arranged so as to attract attention and please the eye, but its contents are well worth a close and critical inspection. The display of gems and precious stones is quite a reve lation to all visitors, who seem to be en tirely ignorant of the mineral wealth of our State. Indinxl very few North Caro linians ! themselves are aw.are of the variety nd value of the gems and pre cious stones that may be found in their good old State, and this exhibit at Chi cago would literally "astonisn tne natives. Our exhibit also contains val uable samples and specimens of gold ore, which attract much attention. There are many highly polished blocks of build ing stones, marble, granite, brown stone, ifec. In this exhibit are displayed quite a number of photographs, illustrating the beautiful scenery and many objects of interest m our State, Canada's New Governor. Canada's next governor general rejoices in the following titles: The Rt. Hon. Sir John Campbell Gordon, Earl of Aber deen, Viscount of Founartin and Baron of Haddo Methlic Tarvis, and Kellie, in the peerage of Scotland, and Viscount Gordon in that of the United Kipgdom, and it is by virtue of the last-named title that he occupies a seat in the House of Lords. His family is an offshoot of the ancient Scottish family of Gordons. His most illustrious ancestor was George Hamilton Gordon, the fourth earl, who was secretary of state for the Duke of Wellington, and who as foreign secreta ry in the administration of Sir Robert Peel took an active part in settling tbe northeastern and Oregon boundary ques tions between Great Britain and the Uni ted States The present earl succeeded to the title on the death, by drowning, of his broth er George, who, though Earl of Aberdeen chose the life of a common sailor on board merchant vessels in remote seas, to enjoying his rightful position in society. Lord and Lady Aberdeen are exceeding ly popular in Canada and the United States where they are both well known. They have but recently left Chicago where Lady Aberdeen had charge or the "Irish Village" on exhibition at the World'i Fair.

Shipments of cabbage, which have been going pn tor several mourns, are now over, but our market is still supplied with very fine ones in abundance and at low prices, j From the seventy acres which Messrs. Hack burn b Willet hail in , cabbage they have shipinxl 12,000 barrels, an average of 170 barrels per 'acre. The aver age net returns (that is the returns after ' freight and commission charges have been paid) is $1.20 per box,' an average of a little over $200 per acre. Thine gen tlemen have not yet accurately figured the, cost of growing the crop, but they know that they have made between $3,000 and $7,000 clear money on it. Magnifi cent profits. They are now shipping potatoes have been doing so since the 4th of June and this crop is only about half dug j ' Iheir last three days shipments or po tatoes footeduip 2,300 barrels. Tlie big gest of these three days waa Tuesday, when they sent off a thousand barrel. Their potatoes that arrived in the north ern markets Thursday sold at $3.75 per barrel. These figures show well.

On Saturday they made a remarkable cucumber shipment. Thev sent off three car-loads two by rail and one by. steam er. They aggregated 1,700 boxes. The early crops being off, these fields will next give a fine crop of bay, which will end the yield from them for this season. ' Greensboro Female College.
