NEWS OF THE WEEK BOILED
DOWN.
What Is Going On In and Around the
Capital of the Nation.
013 Sixth St., N. E., Washing
ton, Dec. 17. Congress spent a con
siderable portion of last week in con
sideration of the "Pooling Hill."
This is ostensibly for the purpose of
allowing railroads to pool their earn
ings. Whether it will benefit, the
country or not I cannot say, but usu
ally when legislation of this kind
passes, the railroads get ihe long
end of the rope.
The Senate h;ts had very little to
do, as all measures of finance, t!ce.,
originate in the House, and are sent
up from there to the Senate. Peffer
and his crank bills have largely come
in for attention, and the fact "rows
plainer every day that every well
regulated legislative body ought to
have a graveyard attachment for
the special interment of P li'erian
bills.
The highest matter of privilege
which can come before either the
Senate or the House of Representa
tives is conceded to be the decision
of the right of a member to his seat
in either house of Congress. The
fact that this matter of highest priv
ilege is constantly disregaided- in
modern times was emphasizt d by the
notification given by Mr. Brown, of
Tudiana, that on January Jo he will
call up the contested case of Wil
liams vs. Settle, of North Carolina.
The Fifty-third ('ongiess will ex
pire March 4 next and this contested
election case has been set aside again
and again, until now notification is
given that within one month and a
half of the expiration of the two
years' term the case will be brought
"to the consideration of the house.
In the meantime Mr. Settle, whether
entitled to the seat or not, has been
drawing the salary and emoluments
of the office.
Secretary Carlisle has made an es
timate that it will require something
like a million dollars and five hun
dred new officers to collect the in
come tax. This will no doubt create
a big fight this week, as some Dem
ocrats and all the Republicans will
oppose the appropriation for this
purpose. Men whose incomes range
from $4,000 to hundreds of thousands
per year, as a rule do not pay tax,
and the more their income the less
tax they pay in proportion. Hence
they will fitrht this bill to the death
if they can. As long as the Demo
cratic part7 is dependent on the
mugwump element of New York and
the East for assistance in legislation
that benefits the masses and is
against the gold-bugs, just so long it
will be sure to be disappointed. The
income tax should be collected from
these millionaires, if it takes half of
the estimated amount of the tax to
do it. Every time an effort is made
in this direction and fails, it but
draws the links closer, and makes it
that much harder to accomplish at
any future time. In England, the
richest country on the globe,
the largest tax collected is on
incomes, and I think they also have
an inheritance tax. This is as it
should be, and the law which makes
the man of moderate means pay
more tax than the rich man, in pro
portion to his possessions is all
wrong, and should be remedied at
all hazards.
William R. Morrison's name is
being mentioned in connection with
the Democratic Presidential nomina
tion in 1S9G. It is not believed he
will williugly oppose Stevenson for
it, but he may be pushed forward by
his friends. Just now Stevenson is
far ahead of all his opponents, and
were the convention tomorrow he
would be unanimously nominated.
But Morrison also is a good man.
He is an anti-Cleveland, anti-mugwump
Democrat and has long been
in favor of lower tariff and better
finances. He has never crossed the
threshold of the White House since
Cleveland has been President. John
Randolph Tucker once said to him,
"Bill, if you ever get to be Presi
dent there will be more honesty and
less politics there than ever before."'
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, who was
defeated in the last election, says
that more Populist orators were im
ported into his district than ever be
fore; that he could not tell where
they came from or who paid them;
that the so-called Republican Pops
voted the Republican ticket and the
so-called Democratic Pops voted the
Populist ticket. Mr. Bland is the
greatest and best known advocate of
free silver. He has been fighting
for it for twentv years. Now if the
Pops are in earnest in their demands
for free silver, they take a poor way
of getting it by defeating "Old Dick
Bland, the Silverite," as he is famil
iarly called, and such warm friends
of the white metal.
I see that part of the county offi
cers elect aie allowed 30 days to
complete their bonds. The Demo
crats should stand with hands off
and let them make it by their own
efforts and among their own follow
ers. The Democrat who assists them
on their bonds is many times worse,
as a matter of party principle, than
the Republican. He stultifies him
self in that he voted the Democrat
ticket, and then takes the strongest
means of all to nullify his vote help
them make their bond. If he does
it as a matter of financial gain, it is
ten times worse, in that he lends
himself to a thing which his con
science and principles tell him is
wrong, in order to reap a paltry gain
lor himself. Every Democrat should
be consistent and stand with hands
I off. Any one who helps not only
does violence to his own feelings,
but sets at naught the efforts of
every other Democrat in the coun
: try. If the elect do not have their
: bonds ready in a reasonable time,
' and after a fair extension of time,
; th office should be declared vacant,
and promptly filled by one who can
i give the bond. Again I say, hands
off and let them work out their own
! salvation. R. L. B.
Pretty flarriage.
The Sunset section enjoyed a
pretty home wedding on Wednesday
morning. At 10 o'clock a. m. Mr.
H. H. Hobgood, son of Dr. R. W.
Hobgood, and a prosperous young
farmer of Pitt countv, and Miss Cor-
uelia Pruitt were joined in holy wed
lock at the home of the bride by Rev.
Mr. Hill in the presence of many rel
atives and friends. As soon as con
gratulations were over the happy
couple left for Oxford where they
took the 12 o'clock train for the home
of the groom near Grimesland, Pitt
county. May happiness, peace, con
tentment and prosperity go with
them along the journey of life.

A Romantic Marriage.
The Oxford correspondent writing
to the Richmond Dispatch under
date of December 14th says:
Quite a romantic marriage took
place at Wilson last night, in which
two prominent young people of Ox
ford figured as bride and groom.
They were Miss Cora Taylor and Mr.
William Smith. Miss Taylor, who is
only 17, was on a yisit to friends in
Wilson.
Miss Taylor is deservedly one of
our most popular young ladies,
pretty, bright, and attracttve. Young
Smith is 20 3rears old, and a favorite
among his many friends. Mr. and
Mrs. Smith reached here this morn
ing. Mr. Smith is a nephew of M.
T. Smith, of Richmond, and Miss
Taylor is a niece of Wiley Grandy,
of Norfolk.

Big Shipment of Tobacco.
Oxford is rapidly gaining a wide
reputation as a first class tobacco
market, and large quantities are
being sold here every day. The des
mand for all grades by our extensive
buyers is great and hence they buv
largely. One day last week Mr. W.
B. Ballou, one of our liberal buyers,
shipped seven car loads to fill one
order, and will in a few days ship
five car loads more. Several other
buyers are rapidly filling orders and
consequently large shipments are
being made daily.
Some days ago 300,000 pounds of
tobacco changed hands in Oxford
and will also be shipped, thus adding
largely to the bank account of our
most liberal buyers. Farmers, come
right along as there is dead oodles
of money in Oxford to pay you for
the weed.
"It is a pleasure to sell Chanberlain's
Cough Remedy," says Stickney & Dent
ler, druggists, Republic, Oeio, Because
a customer after ooce using it, is almost
certain to call for it when agsin in need
of such a medicine We sell more of it
than of any other cough medicine we
handle, and it always gives satisfaction."
For coughs, colds and croup, it is with
out an equal. lYr sa'e by J. G Hall,

Tobacco Humming.
Our market continues to expand
and widen out daily, and large
breaks are the regular order of the
day. Big prices are the ruling spirit
and money continues to flow from
our two banks into the pockets of
the tillers of the soil, and they go
home with broad smiles overspread
ing their faces.
Tuesday was a regular field day
and all our warehouses had good
breaks, but the Minor took the lead
in quantity and Knott & Cooper
were on their mettle and used every
effort to satisfy all. In fact it is the
motto of all our splendid warehouse
men and tbeir drummers to please
their patrons. Our market is steady
and reliable, not being up one day
and down the next, so come along
and reap the benefit of high prices.
The market will close after to
day's sales (Friday) until Tuesday,
January 1, 1S95.

Fayetteville Observer. Marion
Gray, the three-year-old son of our
townsman, Mr. J. IL Van 11, has
been suffering for the past three
weeks from a severe pain in his left
ear, which came on periodically. He
would plaT about the house most of
the time and suffer no pain, then
suddenly he would put his hand to
his ear and scream as if on the verge
of spasms, and continue to suffer
for an hour or two, when he would
get quiet and go to sleep. The fam
ily physician was called diagnosed
otitis, and prescribed accordingly.
On last Saturday the child began
screaming as before, when Mrs.
Vanu pulled off his hood to examine
his ear, and saw protudiug there
from a worm in doubled form. She
pulled it out, and found it to be
about five inches long, of the asca

"IN THE ARMS OF JESUS."
Death Robs a Home of a Dear Little
Rose Bud.
With much sorrow we chronicle the
death of little Hannah, infant daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Crews,
which occurred Thursday, Dec. 13th.
She was 2 years and 7 months old.
Only a few days ago her sweet and
beautiful form was the delighful cen
ter of a happy home. We can hard
ly realize that it has been broken so
soon, and we see her bright and beau
tiful little face no more. But that
fell and dire disease, membraneous
croup, so fatal to the ruddy rose buds
of so many happy hearthstones, laid
its greedy and unyielding talons upon
her young and tender form, and in
a few hours her gentle spirit took its
early fight.
Hannah was a very bright and at
tractive child, gifted with many little
winsome ways that so easily made
her a pet and favorite. A taste and
talent for music was strikingly man.
test in one of so tender years. Often
she would sing part of songs that her
parents were utterly unaware that
she knew. Her fayorite song was
"Tell it to Jesus alone." On the night
before she passed to the realm of bliss
her mother began singing "Rocky-bv-Baby,"
and she said "Don't sing
that mama," sing "Tell it to Jesus
Alone." But while that little voice
is now forever hushed to the songs
of earth, yet it is not silent; it still
sings; it is vocal with sweeter music,
and henceforth it will be atuned to
the anthems of angels and of the
spirits of the just made perfect. No
longer will she "Tell it to Jesus
alone," but with the happy children
that have gone and are going up
from every land and every home,
she will join to sing his praises in
"higher notes above."
Stricken father and mother, weep
not; God has your little darling
"safe in the arms of his infinite
love" and though you know not now
you shall know hereafter, why her
angelic spirit was no longer per
mitted to roam the shores of earth.
