RAILR0.4DS AS'D POLITICS. 1 FINANCE COMMITTEES.
TheTarboro Southerner gives out j We copy below a timely editorial
ihe report that a ring has been or-, from the Chatham Record upon the
ganized in Iialaigh to defeat Sena-1 subject of county finance coin
tor Vance. We have heard it in- . mittees. We agree with the Record
timated that the Richmond and that the custom of the county coin
Danvilb Syndicate would use its j missioners of appointing this coin
influence against the Senator. II , mittee troin their own body should
this bo true, the question arises.
'Is the political influence of a rail
road destroyed when it passes from
State control to a private corpora
tion!" If not, then one of the
leading reasons for leasing: the A.
& N". C. Railroad to get it out of'
politics falls to the ground. It is
true that ft private corporation can

Bat the Southerner is of the opiu-
ion that the "Ohio idea" whichle -
feated Senator Pendleton, will not
r n -v-n. nr.rr
operate successfully in .North Caro -
Una. In this, however, our con
temporary may be mistakeu. The
Richmond and Danville Syndicate
, . .-
is a powenui corporation, ic can
lay large claims upon our Western
brethren, who would have been
without a railroad yet but for the
timely appearance of the Richmond
and Danville to relieve Mr. Best of
. ... . , , t
a contract that he could not carry
out. And it will be remembeid -
that when thia, corporation ap -
aredlitTkaleigh last winter and
asked for legislation, modifying the
terms of the Best contract, it w as
granted. We have no complaint
now against the General Assembly
for acceding to the demands of the
syndicate, probably it was best for
the State that such was the case,
but we think the fact that it secured
what was asked for, in the face of
strong opposition, is sufficient evi
dence that this corporation wields
an influence of no mean proportion.
Wa trust, however, that it has bet
ter work to do than using its power
against Vance.
DUTY OS WOOL.
In tbe House of Representatives
on Saturday last Mr. Converse
presented resalutions from the Na
tional Wool Growers' Association,
adopted at its annual meeting in
Chicago in September last, which
were referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means, and ordered to
be printed in tbe Record.
These resolutions set forth that
flagrant injustice has been done
tbe wool growers of this country by
abolishing the ad valorem duties
provided by the wool tariff of 1867;
that at that time the number of
sheep in the United States was
about 22,000,000, and the annual
product of wool about 60,000,000
pounds; that under the influence of
tBSliTw-!ep husbandry rapidly
advanced until the numhr of sheep
is now over 50,000,000, and the an
nual product of wool is more than
300,000,000 pounds; riat with this
increase of wool hatrsteadily receded
from 51 cents-per pound in 1867 to
42 cents prior to the tariff of the
last Congress; that the reduction
hasr" not benefited the consumer but
augmented the profits of the manu
facturer. They also represent that
the producers of wool have been
compelled to submit to this red uc-
tion in order to com pete with foreign !
wools, and that there are 80,000,000
' ' '
sheep in Anstialia, and with her
mild climate and perennial pastures j
she can multiply this number'
until she quadruples the present
production of the United States,
and finally destroy this industry.
They refer to the fact too that the
, 4, T, . , ,
loss to the Inited States by de -
stroying sheep husbandry will not
be confined to the direct loss of the
wool production but also the loss of
their value for fertilizing lands.

petent men in every county who
hold no office, and the idea of the
county commissioners constituting
themselves a finance committee to
examine their own acts is simply a
farce. We would add to
the sug
that the
the com-
gestions ul' the Record
Code also provides that
j authorized to elect such a commit-
tee; and, as doubtless a majority ot
the justices in the State are in his
predicament, we would refer them
to the law on the subject, which
will be found bv reference to sec-
1 tion 758 of Vol. I. of The Code. It
will there be seen that "the justices
of the peace at their meeting on the
1 , .
first Monday in June in each year,
a majority being present, may elect
by ballot three discreet, intelligent
. tax-paying citizens, to be known as

duties of the committee are set
forth in this and the remaining sec
tions of Chapter 18. Section ijS

i .f WDOm at thaJ
omcers, a majority
time were Repub
licans. Iu a few counties these
committees were elected, but in a
majority of our counties the justices
i have not exercised their authority
iu the matter. Randolph was one
of the few counties that elected a
finance committee, and her expe
rience has been highly satisfactory,
and her finances kept in good con
dition. M. S. Robins, Esq., has,
for many years, been the chairman
of Randolph's committee, and, with
his two excellent assistants, has
rendered that county most valuable
service. One reason why some
counties have not elected a finance
committee is that the law hereto
fore provided for the election to be
held in January and it was difficult
to secure a meeting at that inclem
ent season, and we think the Code
Commissioners very wisely changed
the time to June.
Before the adoption of our pres
ent State constitution every county
had its finance committee, and since
that time the county commissioners
in most of the counties have ap
pointed a finance committee from
themselves. This has been the
a'cua(:om in this county, but we think
it ought to be changed and the
finauce committee be composed oi
men who hold no county office
whatever, otherwise you would be
appointing men to watch them
selves! A man may make a good
county commissioner, and yet not
be as expert an Picountant and
financier as is ruired for a mem
ber of a Hrto.ce committee. Xo
comnrissioner can justly consider it
a reflection on him for the justices
to elect such a committee, and we
doubt not that many of them would
wish it. Of course there would no
additional expense incurred, 'be
cause the finance committee might
be paid the same amount as that
now paid to the county commis
sioners when acting as a finance
committee.
We advert to this subject just
now because the justices of this
county will meet here, ou next
Tuesday, lor the transaction of
other business and they might then
adopt a resolution providing lor the
election of a finance committee at
their meeting in June, at which

Washington Gazette: Rico has

and any information concerning it
is of interest, especially to fanners.
In a recent conversation with Mr.
1). L. Evans, of the Washington
rice mill, he says there exists at
present a depression in the whole
sale rice market for cleaned rice.
This is due to several causes, to
overproduction and to importation
of foreign rice from China, aud
other points where it can be raised
more cheaply by pauper labor. It
hasjouly been raised to any extent for
the past five years. As a compar
ison it may be said that in l.ST'J
there was only about 1,800 bushels
raised in the county, all of which
was I ought by Mr. S. Bridgman.

morning, for a forced inarch that
sent many to untimely g, .ves and
resulted in nothing cUo: and finally
stopped at Maysville. a crossroad
postofii.-e. twenty" miles from New
Heme. There W;is a store, a saw
in i 11. a cot toe gin and two oi three
dwellings. In and around the store
was t he customary group of loung
e'.s, talking over neighborhood
news or trading produce for store
oods. Introducing ourselves to
ihe senior of the firm, Mr. Bynuin.
we wiic c iidlaHv welcomed aud
urged to -light and stop a few J
days." The first we did: the last j
we were obliged to decline. Mr. i
livimm showed us his mill, his gin :
house, his fat hogs and other things
ot interest. Having nrsr taKcii old
Soirel from between the ('nils and
given him a hearty meal of com in
the ear. for he though: the beast
j needed a little solid comfort. He
j told us when we were in White Oak
j township, which runs parallel with
the river of that name, and is a
strut of ridge hind t weutv-thiee
miles long by one and a half miles
wide. A river steamer runs up to
a landing three miles below his
store, an 1 yvould ascend six or eight
miles hither if the timber that has
fallen into the stream were removed.
The products of the country are
cotton and coin, honey and wax,
eggs and chickens, beef, mutton,
wool and sweet potatoes, but the
tirst two are the principal crops.
There is an abundance of yellow
pine, sweet gum, hickory and ash,
the banks of the river for ten miles
being liued with these trees. He
showed us an axe helve rudely
whittled by some neighbor that
showed a fine strong fibre and a
dead white wood that would please
a spoke turner, and said it yvas a
fair sample of the hickory there
abouts. The poplar, cypress, juniper
and other trees are pleiitilul, but
not so numerous as those before
named. Our destination was the
house of Job Smith, a substantial
farmer, and a preacher of the prim
itive Baptist persuasion. Mr. By
nuin called up a young man to us
and said he lived in that district
and would guide us. Old Soirel
was soon in place again and oil' wi
se t for our final ten m les drive.
We passed two meeting houses,
one for the white Baptists, the ot her
for the colored Methodis'-; by a
new school house that seemed to
be filled with children; by numerous
fields where cotton and corn stalks
attested by their rank growth the
richness of the soil; by cabins ot
logs, of boards, splints, some of them
old and dilapidated, others fresh
and well kept. We passed through
forests of towering pine; through
low diirk marshes yvhere the long
grey moss hung in waving iestoons
from the water oak and cypress
trees; yve crossed a bridge or two,
noting as yve went over the White
Oak river that it ran yvith a strong
current and that it was both narrow
and deep: and an hour before suu
set we opened the gate reaching
into lather dob's lot, then another
that admitted to his yard. There
yve found tyvo steady lads hard at
work, and bidding them good day,
yve iisked for the good man of the
house. He yvas mending a wheel
barrow, not a paddy barrow, but a
regular Yankee affair which, as he
afterwards explained yvas, '-one of
the usefulest things a farmer could
have." Father Job bade us wel
come, helped us to unharness, be
stowed the horse in the stall, but
warned us not to come in because
his mules were loose, "dreadful un
certain critters." and then he took
us to the house, called up his yvife
and children, introduced us all
round, and bade us make ourselves
at home. The simple heiuty warmth
of this good man and his family 1
shall not soon forget. They were
as glad to see us apparently as
though yve had been thi

I had explored its dark recesses, and
he knew where the deer runs were.

yvhere the wily lox had his lair.
The next morning after au early
breakfast we followed our guide
! iUo the thickets
ot this wonder
land. Ic is a tract of nearly 'J0,0u0
acres, aud is all that he painted.
The timber is magnificent. The
shape of this tract is irregular, but
were its outlines a circle then the
whole might well be called a saucer,
for it is a great body of land, sur
rounded by a ridge from which it
gently dips from ten to fifteen feet
towards a common center, the bot
tom of which is, however, several
feet higher than the main elevation
of the land outside of the ridge.
The timber will some day be of
great value, and when it is cleared
off the whole may bo converted iu
to a grazing farm yvhere thousands
ot cattle and sheep could tie raised
and fattened. In many places deer
paths intersected each other at all
angles, and in several we saw fresh
tracks that could have been made
but a short time before. We shared
the enthusiasm of George W.
though we could not concur iu all
his conclusions. That at s une day
this wilderness will be reduced to
human use, its splendid forest be
destroyed, and its rich 1 inds be
tilled is one of the certainties ot the
future.
On our return to New Berne wo
met with a little adventure. Horses
here are not sharpened, fo usually
there is no ice iu the roads. When
yve were at tne Smith homestead
there was a great change in the
weather. One night the mercury
dropped nearly to zero. Tie-ground
was frozen hard and the lit. ;. creeks
were covered with firm ice. Eeach
ingoiie of these yve found it too
slippery for old Sorrel, and called a
farmer to our assistance to cut a
path for us. Just then another
farmer of the neighborhood came
upiidiug behiud a large powerful
mule. Most of the ice was on the
further side of the creek- A hewn
f'ooc log spanned it, but this is too
slippery for leather soles to walk it
safely. After making the attempt
your correspondent got astride the.
log, and using his hands leap tiog
fashion, he lifted himself from one
position to another nntil able to
step upon the solid ice ou the further
side. Meanyvhile the neighbor had
driven his mule through the stream
to the edge of the ice, and as fast
as inis one iarmer enojipeu mat
sagacious beast would place his fore
feet carefully ou the block before
him and when it broke off and
sank, he would again ruake a Hk.
movement, and go Simultaneously.
the one by a series of hitches, the
other bv careful advances, both
gained the ice over shallow water
at about the same moment, whilt
the senator stood a laughing spec
tator of the progress each was
making. Kspee.

Hie Battle of .New Orleans.
The venerable Elder T.E. Dudley,
now in his 'Jl'd year, sent a message
yesterday to chide us for not giv
ing a proper notice of the anniver
sary of the Battle of New Orleans,
and to ask through our columns if
there is any other survivor of that
celebrated battle liviug in Lexing
ton or Fayette county. We make
the amende to our venerable friend,
aud will say that this generation of
readers are so degenerate and want
ing iu ta.ste ;is not to have a full
appreciation of the great events
that took place 79 years ago, but
will persist in preserving the events
of the miserable present time. We
are glad to be able to state that
Elder Dudley's health is perfect,
aud his spirits good. He enjoys the
society of his friends as much as at
any period of his life. Lcriuqlon

i "ith ihe ilea that tin- foundations of'
his house were jrivin away. Another :
party stiites that be u as in a close room j
at the time, aud that the concussion was
sufficient to agitate articles of clothimr
hanging in the room. In some instances
crockery and glassware were made to
rattle by the force of the shock, which
wa- not confined to any particular part
of the city. Some of the elder people'
say they have heard and felt earthquake
shocks before, but none so perceptibly
as tins. Some persons say the shock
was accompanied by a rumbling sound,
and one or two declare that they felt
two or three distinct blocks. The main
shock lasted from eiht to ten -econds. ;
Confirmatory of the reality of the
shock we have a report, through the
Signal otiice litre, from the Signal
Service observer at Fort Macon, in this ,

a marvelous effect
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
has had in his case. T tbink his blooil murt
have contained the humor for at Ic.-ist t :
years ; but it did not sbow, except in the fm ;
of a scrofulous sore on the wriM, until about
five years ago. From a few spots which Ap

to cover his entire bodv. I assure you be ns
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as good health
as he has. I could easily name lifty iersoiis
who would testify to the facts in his case.
Yours truly, TV. M. PHJLUP8.'
FROM THE FATHER:
a duty for me to state to you tho benefit I
have derived from tho use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous pore?. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
1 moved. My sullerings were great, and my
life a burden. I commenced the use of tho
Sarsaparilla in April last, and hare used
it regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every
respect being now able to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cur in my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt., Oct.
21, 1882. Yours gratefully,
Hiram Phillips."
Ayer's Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula
and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip
