Henderson, chairman of the river and harbor committee of the House, has re ceived a letter from Chas. P. HuntiDg ton, of New York, a gentleman who has made a study of Mississippi river im provementsin which he says : "No law was ever perverted as the act of coDgrws of June 28th, 1879, creating a commission to mature a plan for im proving navigation and prevention of destructive floods in the Mississippi river The plan recommended and adopted by Congress, upon which expe rimental work has row been going on lor. the last ten years, is not only injur ing navigation, but it is forcing the river to go down the Atchafalaya, and and at the same time it is under uiir.io, overtaxing and overtopping the levees, because it increases the volume and velocity of the water, thereby making :i flood more de structive than it would b-j otherwise. For tho past s'x years I havo been protesting against this plan, at every opportunity offered where it did not interfere with pending appropriation?.

C, April 26 The many various industries in North Caro lina which the Chronicle noticed of late, is awakening an interest in these matters throughout the entire State. Of the various industrial institutions to which we have referred, all worthy of the attention they have received, there are still many others that will be noticed later on. There is one enterprise, however, an immense establishment, that is doing great good to the agricultural interests and which deserves a greater notice than can be given in a single newspaper ar ticle, and that is Snow's Modern Tobac co 13 irn, at Hight Point, N. C. This institution alone would make any place famous. So far it is the founda tion of what exceeds in importance, to the farmers of North Carolina, anything ever devised for the curing of tobacco. We found Oapt. W. H. Snow hard at work a grizzled veteran of some sixty summers and winters, but wearing his years as lightly as a bride her orange blossoms. He received us courteously and went with us through the busy place. Wood by the car load, wire by the ton, baskets of various sizes by the huudreds, are daily put into the store houses to be ready for the coming sea son. Capt. Snow has worked a revolu tion in the tobacco world. He has done more than this. He has put it in the power of every farmer in the State to make tobacco growing an unfailing suc cess as well as a pleasure and a profit. As wo entered the office a large force of cleiks were busy unpacking and get ting ready for the mail, ten thousand copies of the most complete and hand some book on tobacco that we have ever seen. We sat down and enjoyed a pipe of the celebrated Modern Barn smoking tobacco, which by the way, is tho most delightful smoke from the pipe we ever bad, while we engaged ourselvesinlooking at the engravings and colored lithographs with which the book is proiusely lllus trated. Every farmer should have one of these books, which he can get by sending his address to Capt. Snow. Closely allied to the manufacture of tobacco is its curing. To some readers who are not accustomed to hear such terms we will say that the process by which tho product is changed from a green to a dry state ready for the market is called curing. However fine a tobacco crop may be, however well it has been fertilized and cultivated, unless proper and very efficient hands cure it, it is merely a waste or draw back to the farm er. Tobacco is, then, greatly dependent upon its cure. The old style of curing has been to take the tobacco from the an,l thrown on its fiido.

THE PAN-AMERICAN CONFER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A Schoolboy's Unsuccessful Attempt to Take His Life. (Greensboro Workman.) News was received here last evening that one of the students of Thompson School at Siler City attempted to take his own life. He is Baxter Mangum, and is from South Carolina. Mr. Mangum looks to be about twenty-two years old, and is a candidate for the ministry. He is of the Baptist faith. On Monday he took nearly one ounce of laudanum, and it is said had it not been for Dr. Lutterloh. who was in an adjoining room, and who found out about the dose immediately after it was taken, young Baxter would have been dead in a very short time. The next night he had an eighth of an ounce of morphine, and was trying to take that, but when he saw that if he did he would be discovered, he attempt ed to hide the morphine under hp pil low. He had attended the Y. M. 0. A. a few days before and there bid them all good-bye, saying he would never see them all again. He had left written in structions in his room for the disposal of his body, books, &c. Mangum will be sent home to-day. One of the boys will go with him, NO WHISKEY Be Without roodLiquors Must Not Sold Over Bars in Boston. I By United Press.l Boston, Mass., April 28. The order has been issued by the Boston Police Board that after May 1st, next, the sale of intoxicating liquors over bars must be stopped. This order has been expected for some time, but it was the hope, not only of the police commissioners, but also of the saloon keepers, that the law requiring liquors to be sold with food would be repealed, but it was not. A bill for the repeal of the law was reject ed in the Senate a few days ago, and with the idea, probably, that there was no lurther hope for modification, the po lice commissioners have given notice to the saloon keepers to remove their bars within twenty days. The enforcement of the law will work great injury to al most every saloon-keeper in the city. The hotels can more readily adopt them selves to the new oondition, having more room in which to set tables. The hotel and saioon-keepers protest, and the for mer are of the opinion that the law will work injury to the hotel business. RETALIATING ON ERf THE STRIK- its shape and odor was left. It was no lit tle task. For some years he has been studying its remedy and now comes forth to astonish farmers with his wonderful 'Modern Barn." This barn is strongly put together. It has ventilation perfect. It is arranged so that in filling the barn there is little trouble or expense. The leaf which the old way is cut off on the cumbersome stalk is now taken from the plant as it ripens, is put on one side of a wire which comes through the stick making room on each of same for from seven to nine leaves. These leaves are all arithmetically correct in their posi tion, no two preventing the passage of air. These sticks are filled with tobac co in this manner and instead of climb ing way up in the top of the barn to place it in position, they put it upon a carriage tier, which, when full, is easily run up to the top ot the barn, ihus there is little trouble and even children can do the work. After all the tiers are filled it ErxCE. TheMUjutnc and Exchanging of Arbi Iration Treaties by Several C'oun fries. By United Press WAsuiNiiTON, D. C, April 28.

A Railroad Company Threatens to Prosecute its Striking Employees For Failure to Give Notice. By United Press.l Ddhlix, April g8. The directors of the Great Southern & Western railway company will prosecute their striking signal men for abandoning their posts without having served notice of their intention to strike upon the company. Archbishop Walsh has written a let ter in which he suggests that the direc tors of the Great Southern and Western consider the advisability of their holding a conference with such committees as may be appointed by the striking em ployees. Pending the result of such a con ference and the settlement of the strike, the archbishop further suggests the postponement by the company of the le gal proceedings against the signal men. DURHAM BUDGET. NOTES FROM THAT RUSY TO WM. A Forcible Sermon Odd Fellows' En tertainmentThe D. L. I. Personal and Social. Chronicle Bureau. Durham, N. C, April 28, 1890. Despite the inclement weather, all the churches had good congregations yester day. Rev. .J. L. White preached a very striking sermon last evening to a crowd ed church on the seventh Command men "Thou shalt not commit adul try." This one of a series which he is preaching on the Commandments. Mr. White is a very forcible preacher, and is very popular among all denominations. Stokes hall was well filled Saturday evening with those of our citizens who were intetested in the Odd Fellows. The programme was very appropri ately arranged. There was a very in teresting dialogue between Messrs. H. J. Bass and H. J. Smith, which showed in glowing colors the object of the brotherhood. Addresses were made by Messrs. J. B. Whitaker and Dr. E. A. Yates. Mr. Whitaker's was an unusu ally happy effort, abounding in grand thoughts, clothed in most beautiful language. Dr. Yates' address was, as usual, deep and thoughtful, interspersed with wit of the highest order. The music was furnished by the Dur ham orchestra, and was simply grand. Rev. B. F. Bumpass, chaplain of the D. L. I., preached the annual sermon to the company last evenicg at Main Street M. E. church. The company was out in dress uniforms. Quite a party of young people are at tending a barbecue at McCauley's mill to-day, given by Messers. Will Isratl and Clarence Cheek. The sash, door and blind factory will resume work under a new management as soon as arrangements can be made. The industry will be pushed by ener getic men, and, as it has good financial backing, will no doubt prove a big suc cess. Hon. Kemp. P. Battle passed through ou the noon train. Prof, and Mrs. E. W, Kennedy re turned from their Northern tour yester day. Miss Emmie Faucette, who spent the Sabbath with her sister, Mrs. W M. Morgan, returned to Peace Institute to-day. Capt. A. H. A.

The officers of the school propose to make it a very pleasant affair, and are al ready arranging for it. There were 390 scholars present at tho Baptist Tabernacle, and eight new schol ars were enrolled. There were two ac cessions to the church by letter and ono by baptism.

Pickett A- Co., Tobacco Manu facturers, Hih Point, N. C. Staff Cor. State Chronici k. High Point, X. C, April 20th. As the manufacture of tobacco is one of the largest industries in the State, we take pleasure in letting the public know the many institutions of this kind now in operation in North Carolina. We have given space many times before, and will continue to mention all our industrial institutions until we have, in some way, called attention to all in the State. It is of interest to the public to note the success of home industries, that others may follow a like exemple. The firm of W. P. Tickett l Co. was established here in 1872 and is composed of some of the most enterprising men in the county. Mr. W. P. Pickett is a native of Davidson county, and may be said to have been "cradled in tobacco." He has made it a life business and has devoted many years to its manufacture. The other members of the firm are Messrs. J. J. Welch and F. M. Pickett. The firm is doing an immense business, working on full time and manufacturing the finest grades of plug and twist. Tho factory is a large building, 100x200 feet, and well ventilated. It is also thorough ly supplied with all the latest improved machinery. They have ample capital for all the requirements of their busi ness. There are 200 hands worked, and the capacity of the factory is one million i'uuuuo ui luuauco manuiac tared au- crowns. lhis work is not spasmodic. but is a regular feature of the general work of the Tabernacle congregation.
