Next niortfing we visited the grounds again, accompanied by Mr. Harper, of the JOCRNAX, who showed us around, introduced ns to a number of the exhibitors and ex- tended us a number of courtesies which were highly appreciated, The buildings and grounds were we11 suited for the purposes of the exhibition.

The fact that tbe grand oyster resources of North Carolina have been heretofore so little known is a sad commentary upon the lack of enterprise in her people. While undoubtedly possessing the largest area of grounds in the world, which produce the finest oysters, both as to size and quality, we have been importing oysters of inferior quali ty from other States, while our own vastly superior oysters could be delivered at much cheaper rates if it were not for the lack of trans portation. But we trust these days are about over, and the boundless resources of Eastern Carolina will soon be opened up to the com merce of the world. in this department was also a 'arge variety oi me uiuerem nous of game found in North Carolina. tje biack bear in one end of the building afforded a large amount of amusement; he seeming to de rive a vast amount of pleasure , IU pid) LI tUHO UrULl (ILL UUIU, L U" nate shepherd dog who was in the same cage with him.

Mr. Fife eaid he did not deny owing the debt, nor did he deny owidh any number of debts, amounting to about S3 000. He had been a wicked man. a gambler, a drunkard, and knew what it was to sell the clothes off his back for rum. It was but natural that a man leading such a life should get deeply in 1 debt.

Kemarkable Correspondence Between Cincinnati Preachers and (iorernor Fowle. To His Excellency, Daniel G. Fowle, Governor of North Carolina: Sir We, the committee appointed for that purpose by the Cincinnati Preachers' Meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church, an organization com priaing a membership of nearly one hundred ministers, respectfully call your attention to the following, adopt d by said meeting at a recent session, re lating to T. M. Joiner, a minister of the I Methodi8t Episcopal Church, and a memoer ot tne rxortn Carolina Uon- f r . vi r-d and wa AanAsillw n.II ' tion to the fact that to thia dav thia man j is utterly refused redress. If the facta i De challenged, we are ready to furnish abundant proof. This extract from a nana, a A irt rA .U. T3..V. ) It t ! ing, ia by their direction forwarded to 1 your Excellency. Very respectfully and obediently yours Tou.v Pkarson, J. ROTHWKLLKR L F. Van Clevk, E. B. Hill, Committee. Cincinnati, O., March 14. To which Governor Fowle replied: Executive Department. State oe North Carolina, Raleigh. Aiarch 17. 1890. Sirs: As you seem to be yery simple and credulous people, striving with ! more zeal than judgment to right what j you assume to be a great wrong, I will answer with the same simplicity and frankness that I do the kind-hearted j but excitable colored people, when ; their sympathies have been strongly j aroused. Indeed the ferocity with ' which you enforoe goodness, as you j understand it, induces me to hope ' that you will heartily repent of the gross injustice done by your communi cation to the good people of our much loved State. If Mr. Joiner was treated, as you charged, then justioe requires that the people who assaulted him should be rigorously punished, and the courts in .North Carolina stand ready to give Mr. Joiner their assistance whenever he de mands it. The county in whioh the outrage is said to have been committed is a Republican county, its population largely made up from the Quaker ele ment, and there is no question that the perpetrators of the offence would have been punished if Mr. Joiner had been able to show that anyone had injured him. but unfortunately he did not do so. Now it is a fact well recognized in this, the most law-abiding State of the Union, that you can't punish a criminal until he is discovered. Why, in Penn sylvania it was illustrated in the case of Charley Ross' abductors, and al though the community you represent is comparatively young and new, yet I have no doubt that in Cincinnati you would not see the unreasonableness of attempting to punish a man for a crime before he was identified. Your whole communication is based upon the In dian's practice of taking revenge when one of his tribe has suffered upon the first man he meets, whether he was the guilty man or not. I am authorized by the Attorney Gen eral to Bay that if Mr. Joiner will fur nish the evidence against', any person, showing his guilt, that suob person will be at once arrested, and if a case is made out against him, tried, convicted and punished. In regard to the negroes in ohurch meeting in Oberlin who requested Mr. joiner to depart from their no id?, if yon ..hirk that congregation was composed of "cringing negroes," who had be& "intimidated by cowards," you are evincing a degree of credulity that ia without parallel, even amongst our negro population. Oberlin is a colored community in a Republican county. Its iohabitants are about as respectable and independent as you will find in any colored commu nity on earth, and any attempt upon the part of white rowdies or disorgan izes to infringe their rights and privi leges would have been resisted at all hazards. Judging from your violent language, there is not a man amongst you who would resist oppression like this respectable church of colored men and women you have the audacity to denounce as "cringing negroes." One other consideration: The Method ist Episcopal Church, South, in North Carolina is one of the largest and most influential denominations in our State, and would never submit quietly to the courts refusing justice to any one en titled to it j protection, but it is on reasdnable for you to require any more protection for Mr. Joiner than a citizen of the State could get under like cir stances. I therefore heartily recommend to you as a committee to read the 9th Commandment, and lay it to heart, and after doing so, communicate your re flections to your brethren who insti gated you to address your remarkable epistle to me. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, Dan'l G. Fowle, Gcvernor. Bismarck's "ote to the Emperor The New Chanceller. Berlin, March 19.

Winston Daily: Tbe late cold snap killed most of the young tobacco plants, but the farmers are applying at oar warehouses daily for seed to take a fresh tart. It is feared that peaches in the Piedmont section have all been killed, but the apple crop is thought to be un injured. Scotland Neck Democrat: The Demo crat is pleased to find that the mer chants of this town are having their yarns largely from the Wilson cotton mills. This ia right. It is patronizing home patronage in a substantial way that will after awhile bring about tbe long hoped-for era when the South will manufacture almost everything that it consumes. Charlotte Chroniole: The enrollment at the white graded school now nam bers 868 pupils, and that of the colored graded school 567. The work on the ' Sam Jones tabernacle ia being pushed ' forward rapidly. The building will be i finished with neatly-dressed benches. I The floor will be laid with about six inches of cotton seed bulls, and tbe building will be lighted with gas. Raleigh Chronicle: Mr. J. B. Duke, who has been elected president of tbe ; American Tobacoo Company, draws a j salary of $50,000 a year. This is per haps, the largest salary ever paid to any man connected with the tobacco trade. Some days ago a drummer tried to sell whetstones from a quarry In Ohio to a Raleigh hardware firm. The bard ware man carried the drummer up to tbe State Museum and showed him samples of whetstones from twenty- five counties in North Carolina all better than his. For once an Ohio man had to confess himself beaten. This sort of educating is what teachers call the kindergartden method giving ob ject lessons. A report is in circula tion that an English syndicate has an agent traveling through this State making arrangements to buy up alt the cotton factories, but judging from care ful inquiries the "agent" is traveling to produce a seasation merely. Moore county is better off financially than she has been any year since tbe war. This is due to Democratic rule. The county now enjoys complete Demo cratic control and under this manage ment hopes soon to be free from debt. Trinity College The Work of the Trus tees at their Meeting on Thursday. Tbe board of trustees of Trinity Col lege met at Durham Thursday, in res ponse to a call. There were twenty-one of the thirty-nine trustees present. They met in the rooms of tbe Y. M. C. A., and proceeded to business. During the session of tbe board the following proposition was made by Durham: Mr. Washington Duke formally of fered to give tbe institution eighty-five thousand dollars in cash; Mr. J. 8. Carr offered a tract of sixty aores of land , known as "Blackwell Park," rained at twenty thousand dollars, as a site, and a subscription of nine thousand dollars was offered by the citizens of Durham with a prospect of more, all to be given to the college in case it shall be located in that town; but this proposition is made to hold good piovided Raleigb will release her claims to the institution under the agreement already made with the trustees. Tbe board appointed a committee of three, the members of whioh are Prof. J. F. Crowell. Rev. J. A. Cunninggim and Mr. W. P. KoMUgay, to come to Bateigh and confer 'with the ouUk committee hare toasoertala if a release would be granted. The committee from the board will be here today, and the conference will probobly be held. One of the trustees said last night, that if Raleigh should grant the release there would be no doubt whatever as to the acceptance of Durham's proposition. It is superfluous to state that while Raleigh would rejoice at the location of the college within ber bounds, she would never think of standing between the institution and a more favorable proposition that she has made. So it is certain that the same moment in whioh a release shall be asked from Raleigb. she will willingly, yet regretfully grant it. Raleigh Chronicle. I'olloksvllle Items.
