Tel fair from the position of private secretary in the executive depart ment, a position which he has filled with exceptional ability during the successive administrations of Gov ernors Fowle, Holt and Carr, de serves more than a passing notice. Of fine intelligence always courteous and obliging he has administered the duties of his office with marked acceptability to every one who has had , any character of business to transact with the governor's office and with credit to the state. We voice 'the sentiments of the com munlty in expressing the hope that la whatever line his acknowledged taleits may be engaged be and his oharmlng wife may still retain their residence In our midst ; . "Hoola Boom "Campbell arrived this . morning from Cherokee, and things wilt'now begin to whirl. . He is an avowed candidate for the Sen ate, and this afternoon bad a confer ence with Senator Pr.tchard, who may (but this is not yet quite cer tain) retire la his favor. ."Hoola Boom" is incidentally looking after the money, he V says is due for his valuable services on the: Arrington committee. - " - . " " AFTER PRITCII ART). Senator Butler's .Caper .: , , (lot Shot Today Full of 1 Senator Butler's pae today pours hot shot into Senator Prltch ard . It says he said to a prominent Republican, December 6th, that he would never declare for siver, even though it should be necessary to get the Populist vote; that between December 0th and 10th a meeting of Republican leaders was held in Washington to devise means by which they could capture the Sen ate, and that on December 10th Pritchard wrote Congressman Harry Skinner the letter declaring for free silver. It says Pritchard cannot declare for free silver without com promising his own honesty. The Populist minority caucus or bolters were in session hour last night. Seventeen of the nine teen were present, two being sick. Chairman MoCaskey said: "We discussed whether we should return to tho caucus of the majority or ac cept its ultimatum. We unani mously voted not to do so. Fifteen of us will vote for Pritchard, whether or no. If all nineteen vote for any republican we will vote lor Pritchard . Four of, us will vote for a populist in preference to Pritch ard. The latter -is the logical can didate, and he will be elected sena tor. I think tonight's action set tles this. I think he will lie elected on the first ballot by 12 majority. I think some men in the republican oaucus will abstain from voting. If the Butler faction had accepted our offer two nights ago it would have been a. winning ' card for the ma jority. ; But contrary' to my expec tation they have lost their grip on the situation. We have letters from ourconstituents bidding usgoahead. I am told that three or foun demo crats will not vote for a republican, and that two of then prefer to see Pritchard elected to say populist." A majority populist cauous also met last night auil after receiving the replyof lh? minority, adopted a reHoluUou r.tUing a committee to confer with the republicans to see if the latior will co-opf-ite with the msjf-itof frihoYfty.? 5 . . i . . i i i . .... , muiniguj oooaior; rntcnarj said! "You can' say from rae that I propose to co-operate with those who nre in favor of co-operating with us by voting for the nominee of our caucus. i nis means tne re publicans will act with the bolters. It was reported yesterday that Marshall Mott was probably a candi date for tho United States Senator ship and that Governor Russell would give him his support for elec tion in the event he became a candi dote. 'HiL. Grant was seen in re gard to the matter and asked if there was any truth in the state ment. Grant replied he had seen Russell and that the latter flatly denied the report, saying that he was in favor of the re-election of Pritchard and that it was the duty of all Republicans to stand by the nominee of their cauoas. Grant also said that Mott - was not a candidate, but favored Pritchard . Antl-Trnat Law in Georgia. There is much disoussion in Geor gia as to the', probable effect of the anti-trust law in that State. : A wholesale grocer, in conversation with a reporter of the Atlanta Con stitution said : "No local law can ever bring relief to the people for the reason that when the wholesale grocer goes on to buy his goods he finds the trust in full force, and he is compelled to take the prices which are set down. When a whole sale man goes on to buy his matches be has to pay the regular price, for the , trust regulates that, and the Georgia law has no more force than the braying of an ass. For relief to come to the people, as I have said, there must be national legislation, and let the blow be aimed at the manufacturer and not at the tail of the procession." ' - Jadg Allen's Rule. The Durham Sun of yesterday says: Judge Allen, yesterday after noon, ia the superior . court, was about to sentence some parties when he concluded that it would be best to wait until this morning before sentence was passed, He desired to think over the cases, calmnly and deliberately decide what sentences should be meted out. The Judge remarked .to the attorneys in the bar of the court that he thought ha would hereafter adopt this rule, and consider and reflection them before passing sentence. ' T ' p Gov. Russell reached the execu tive office a little before noon today and had a string of callers. ' PLAGDE -MM CITY Nearly a Million febple Flee from Bombay. A CHOLERA?

Without any. spoojai-jjoiempnics in honof of the occasion, Princess An ne Hotel, at Virginia Beach, will be opened For tho season on February 1st.

The big hotel has been renovated from cellar to attic, at an expendi ture of thousands. The Vander bilts, who have the controlling in terest in the property, aro not, the men to allow it to rust on their hands, and in anticipation of the biggest season in the history of the Beach, have spent money, wherever it was needful, cither for usefulness or adornment.

The new manager of the Princess Anne, is Mr. T E Krumbolz. Dur ing the past four seasons he has had charge of the hotel at Lake Placid in the Adirondacks, and previous to that, was at Hot Springs, Ark. Powell Tomorrow Night. The appearance of the Great Powell at our local theatre cannot fail to be the event of the season. Since last seen in this section he has traversed almost the entire Europe in order to complete his varied programme and which is said to excell any that he has ever given. Notwithstanding the sum that must be, guaranteed Mr. Powell, it has been decided not to advance the prices for the en gagement, however, in order to meet with the expenses the management will have to fill our cozy theatre to the doors, which will not be a diffi cult matter.

Bai.timobe, Jan. 14. Receivers Cowen and Murray, of the Baltimore & Ohio railway, have issued a state ment in which they again deny, the oft-repeated charge of rate cutting, and assert that they have no reason to believe that a war in the rates on bituminous coal is likely to ensue. Upon this point they say : We have not received any advice or intimation from any of the com panies engaged in the transforma tion of the seaboard coal of their in tention to demoralize rates applying thereon, or intimation directly from them of an intention to secure the carriage of this business during the coming year by a relaxation of rates. "It has been intimated to us in various indirect ways, but without any authoritative origin, so far as we know, that a rate war in this particular traffic might be antici pated. As such interests are, how ever, under the control of such men as Ingalls, Thomas and Fink, we take no stock in these statements. '" Veterinary Science. Kditoi- Pross-Viator; I was asked a day or two ago by a gentleman of intelligence, the cause of equine disease. Some might think this question impertinent, by no moans, but one for profound thought and study. Perhaps the most im portant of all causes is the general inattention to hygienic measures. in my younger days, there was great neglect of sanitation; but now, owing to preventive measures of better management, all deseases are less common. Those diseases due to tho multi plication of germs in the blood and tissues; which are strangles, influ enza, glanders, farcy, pnrpura, and many others are largely on the decrease in this section. There is now more attention to drainage, and the general laws of hygiene are more carefully attended to than formally: although, yet sadly neglected. Periods characterized by outbreaks of disease of excep tional intensity and virulence alter nate with seasons which are marked by epidemics of less extent and di minished severity. When contagious diseases breaks out in severity or occurs with more thin ordinary frequency, the cause is gross negligence: some flagrant hygienic omission, or importation rom some other section. When common sense laws of health are at tended to disease will diminish. Prevention is better than a cure, '' and the cause of disease being few and simple, then it is cheaper to prevent thcin. Disease is often brought about by errors in feeding, amount of work done, sometimes too much, at others too little, ago, cold wet and damp weather, poison ing, accidents through carelessness, resulting in wounds or lameness. Thero aro other causes such as worms, external and internal para sites and tumors. Hygiene and science are diminishing diseases, such as are preventible. Many horses are poisoned by the ill-advised quack and proprietary medicines; and travling horse doc tors who advertise themselves freely in the 'papers as capable of curing any ailment of the brute kind, and formally consulting member of some agricultural or medical society. But the present progress of veterinary medicine will soon put this whole sale quackery where tho "Wood bine twineth. " Congenital defects and lameness and tumors and all diseases depen dent on inherited tendency can be avoided by the thinking farmer. In fectious diseases are sources from which infection may be received, but it is frequently impossible to prove a specific origin in an indi vidual case, for instance pyogenic bacteria have a wide diffusion in na ture, for they have been demonstra ted in air, soil, water and a variety of foods, and these bacteria pene trate the body, either from the sur face of the skin (generally after it has been injured), or by the diges tive canal, or by the respiratory organs. Sience has proved beyond a doubt, that bacteria play a most active part in the etiology of a great many diseases. In the study of bacteriology we find pathogenic organisms getting into the animal system in several ways, and causing severe and dan gerous trouble. W. C. McMackjn.

' It recently came to the rotice of Remenyi that the author of "Dixie," Dan. Kmmett, was living in poverty in an obscure town in Ohio. The fact so touched the heart of the genial genius, that ho immediately set about to raise a fund for his ro lief. and started it, himself with a contribution of $.V). That a man who could compose "Dixie" should live in poverty in enlightened Ameri ca is something unaccountable.
