X GLANCE AT THE FIELD.
Everv old soldier knows what it
is to look over a battlefield after
great battle has been fought.
Flrat we look at New York. We
see evidences of a terrific struggle.
The ground is scarred, and the
dead are piled ; in heape. The
same spectacle meets the eye as we
successively torn to Massachusetts,
Ohio and Iowa.
Bnt, what are the results and
how do they stand related to the
great campaign of 1892 f
In New York, Massachusetts and
Iowa the Democrats were success
ful. In New York success waa com
plete. In Massachusetts it was
limited to the eleotion of Gov.
Russell, and ia Iowa to the elec
tion of Gov. Boies and a majority of
the Legislature.
But the principal cause of Demo
crats rejoicing is the capture and
holding of strategic polntB for tha
campaign of 1892.
It is hardly to be questioned that
New York will have the first place
on the national ticket in the per
son of Mr. Cleveland. Her posi
tion and that of uer distinguished
son. point to this conclusion as
inevitable. No man is so popular
among Massachusett Democrats as
the ex President. Gov. Baasell
made his campaign as a Cleve
land man, and in his eleotion there
is an endorsement of Mr. Cleve
land. The Governor himself la
mentioned for the second place,
bat, whether he goes on the ticket
or not, Massachusetts will be found
in the Democratic column.
Campbell is a greater man in his
defeat than he was in the hours of
his trreatest triumph. Thh Cinein-
natians may repent of their folly
and wiokedness, and go to the
National Convention to insist on
the nomination of Campbell, if so,
the nomination of Cleveland and
Campbell woold carry with it the
presage of victory. II however the
Cincinnati chasm is not closed, it
would be injudicious to nominate
Mr. Campbell. But, in any event
the Democracy of Ohio are In good
trim for the national campaign,
Iowa will present a candidate in
the person of Gov Boies. He is
comparatively a new man, bat he
has shown high character and great
administrative abilitv. He would
be a strong candidate' for Vice
President, and with him on the
ticket Iowa would be certainly
Democratic We believe that in
any event Iowa will vote the Demo
cratic ticket, bnt the nomination of
Bois woold make it doubly sure.
All this is suggested by the late
eleotion. Other men would receive
the support of the party, espeo
ially such Democrats as Gray of
Indiana, Patteson of Fenn. and
Gorman of Maryland.
Withtn a very brief time seven
teen great iron faraaaas have been
erected on the line of the Norfolk
and Wefctern road in Virginia. The
manufacture of still is an assured
industry at Chattanooga and in the
region of - Knoxville. Western
North Carolina is found to abound
in ores suitable for the manufac
ture of Bessemer steel. With the
wonderful development which iB
attending this awakening, the old
population is becoming alert and
enterprising. Northern men and
their capital are welcomed? speech
hsa become free; the press is free,
and the old order is rapidly giving
place to something better.
As a region for pleasure travel it
is unsurpassed by the White Moan
tains. With the general develop
meat of the newly discovered re
sources the tide of emmigration
must soon set strongly toward this
new field. Ia many respects it ie
now the most attractive portion of
the continent, and its rapid ad
vancement must soon command
the attention of the whole land.
Washington Poet.
The Orphan's Asylum at Ox
ford is a meritorious institution,
and appeals to tbe benevolen of all
classes. The masonic fraternity,
celebrated in all ages and among
all people, honors itself in the work
it is doing through the Orphan
Asylum. We are pained to know
that this noble institution is in
need of funds. The benevolent
and charitable people of the State
should at once respond to the call
that comes from Oxford. The
Raleigh Christian Advocate says:
The Orphan Asylum at Oxford N.
C, is in need of funds. It is a
noble charity and deserves our
unstinted support. The last N. C.
Conference resolved to take a col
lection in all of our congrega
tions on Thanksgiving day. Let
all arrange for this. Let evety
Methodist pastor in our State re
member the Oxford Orphan Asy
lum on Thanksgiving day, and
urge a collection on that day, from
every congregation under nis
charge. If yon cannot be present
yourself, place this collection as a
sacred duty in the hands of your
Sunnay School Superintendent, or
one of your stewards. Let every
church have an opportunity to give.
The ladies in each congregation can
help greatly in this matter. Let
somebody in every community look
after this matter withoat fail.
LOOKING SOUTHWARD.
For several days public atten
tion has been directed Northward,
to the Btates of New York, Ma-isa
chnsetts, Ohio and Iowa.
Today we will take a glance at
more Southern States.
Maryland never appeared better.
There was not a straggler from her
column as she advanced to glorious
victory. Her Democratic majority
is unprecedented. Honest Frank
Brown, an Alliance man wbo in
politics knows nothing bat Demo
cracy, is elected Governor, and
Gorman, the intrepid leader of the!
Democracy in the United States
Senate, will be returned to the
scene ot his magnificent triumph
over the supporters of the iniquit-
Ona Force Bill.

distanced the field, and .Mi hone is
most effectually burried. The
Legislature is very largely
Democratic, and this assures the
re-election of John W. Daniels to
the seat in the United Slates
Senate that he now fills to the
honor of Virginia and the good of
the whole Union. The result in
Virginia is another evidence that
the farmers of the South are Demo
orats, and every hope founded on
the expectation that tbey will
abandon their party is doomed to
disappointment.
Passing over tbe Carolinas,
Georgia and Alabama, we come to
Mississippi. The election in this
State was held for three Railroad
Commissioners: the entire Legis
lature and District Attorneys. The
General Assembly will be over
whelming Democratic with most of
its members pledged for the return
of Messrs George and Walthall to
the United States Senate. While
the result in Mississippi is intensely
gratifying, we have no disposition
to exult over the defeated. The
contest was between brother Demo
crats and was virtually decided
last summer when Senator George
and Maj. Barksdale canvassed the
State. Tbe burning question was
the Sab treaaury, and every candi
date lor the Legislature took
position for or against the measure
and a majority of those eleoted to
the General Assembly were pledged
to the re-election of Senator George.
Gen. Walthall will also be returned
to the Senate.
The solidity of tbe South has not
been broked. Indeed it seems to
be more compact than ever.
Mbs. Jeffekson Davis has a
sacred place in the hearts of the
Southern people, and no where is
she more loved than in Richmond
where she is now visiting. Her
health is much broken, and the
respect and devotion shown her in
this visit to the Old Confederate
Capital mast be most gratifying.
The Richmond Times, of recent
date, says: One of the most pleas
ant incidents since the arrival of
Mrs. Davis occurred last evening.
About half past nine while the
family, the guests and a few
visitors were quietly spending the
time in the drawing room they
were surprieed by the first notes of
a serenade from the Howitizers.
As soon as the serenade com
menced, Mrs.Davis showed herself
at the window of the brightly
lighted drawing-room, and as soon
as fully understanding the nature
of the compliment Bhe appeared
upon the porch, accompanied by
Miss Winnie, Mrs. Anderson and
other friends, and showed her ap-
Dreciation bv a delightful wave of
her hand and cordial smiles. While
the band played and the front of
General Anderson's elegant home
was illaminated from the brilliancy
within, Captain Hutchison and
Lieutenants Bennet, Starke and
McFarland approached, and were
introduced to tbe distinguished
gaestp. The mueio and the pres
ence of Mrs. Davis and her daughter
in full eight drew a crowd with
magical quickness, and before
the serenade was over, the street
and Bidewalks were full of people
anxious to get a sight of their
faces.
THB North Carolina board ot
control of the world's fair met a
few days ago at Raleigh and de
cided to raise $10,000 at once. Gov.
Holt, Elias Carr and Mrs. Charles
Price were appointed a committee
to prepare an addresss to the peo
pie of the State, and were author
ized to appoint a committee from
each congressional district to solicit
contributions. The full board
meets again December 3rd, by
which time it hopes to have the
above named sum. Plans for the
State building were presented to
the board. Private parties, it was
announced, stand ready to furnish
all the material needed for the con
struction and furnishing of this
house, all of the material to be
North Carolina producs. So, if
the States fails to make an exhibit
in the great departments, this
building will be used to good pur

viduals. The Kailroad Commissioners

THE WEATHER SERVICE.
Number of Display Stations Their
Benefits Increasing Demand for
Them Immense Saying- of
Crops by Heeding-Warning-s.
Fro-ji a circular ietrcr issued by the
Woaih'.r Bureau Deprtr-aem we take
tbe following interesting facts in refer
ence to its work:
On June 30th, 1801, then) weru about
630 weather difplay ef.tions ia opera
tion to wbica the Government
telegraphed tho forecasts; 90 etationa 10
wnio.i cold wave warnings were tele
graphed; 51 froet warning, and 0 rain
! warning stations. At dte there are
j about 1 500 weathtr signal stations in
I operation, and a marked increase of
cold wave and frost warcioK stations.
or an lucrtiagj of nearly 150 per cent
in ie3 tnan four montbf, and with a
conetant demand for additional stations
from all portions of tha country. Since
tneso displays of weather signals were
for thn immediate benefit of the agri
cultural interests, and ince tho cumber
cf stations in operation on June 30th
1801, waa totally inadiquate to give the
informntion to tho peopio of the country
steps were taken to have all sections
represented with the above result.
Tha Directors of tte iocsl wiather
services have bl! been inBiruoitid to
peift ci frost w arcing sysresiis to cover I
the tObaCCO. Crilnhprrv nr.rl ...Knr I-xnoI f
cranberry, and other local
'' rtyuiriut? auuii warning, tho
result of 8ioh a tyatem ia Wisconsin
aioce baying been so thoroughly satis
factory that a warnirg cf a killing frost
for the cranbirry interests in four of
tho wuot central countiea on August
24:h resulted in the s-.viog of over one
third of the cranberry cror.-s (represent
ing over $125,000) though flooding,
where as the remainder of the crops
was destroyed owing to to facilities for
protecting ic froqi tho predicted frost.
T.n Minnesota and the Dakotis frost
warnings were icueil during August
1891 lo p.-o;ect ih gr;sin, and little or
no damage resulted m iiere furmers used
smudges to cover their fields with a
aense smoke during the period of anti
cipated frost. In Hu State of Kentucky
alone neirlv 151) fr t warning stations
were established and are iiow in opera
tion to protect th-i t ;b-.cco interests of
thHt State.
The several methods of disseminating
weather forecasts aad warnings at pres
ent in yogue are by meaag of rl-j?,
bulletins, and stationary steam whintrB
and besides such forecr.etw &s are teie
graphed at government expense,
displays ure made and bulletins ere
posted in thousands of cities and towns
whore the weather information is re
ceived free over private tr-learaph and
telephone lines and hy nscitF of tb
daily pro e.
Tha number cf weather display sta
tions of the North Carolina State
Weather fervioa has been inoreased to
43, while 54 entirely new fr( s-; warning
stations have been pus in operation.
These stations receive warnings when
frost is likely to occur bKt.wn Oct 1st
and Nov. 1st. and between March I5th
and May loth cf each jear. The num
br of voluntary meteorological
observers in North Carolina is nearly
50; stations are etiil to be established in
'he following counties: Duplin. Bladen,
Edgecombe. Person, Wilkes and Cleve
land. H. B. Battle, Director of the
North Carolina State Weather Service
states that instruments will be loaned
to any reliable persons ia these
counties.
A COTTON FACTORY.
New Berne Ought to Hare OnC"-Tlie
Way Goldsboro Secured Hers.
Now that established manufacturing
enterprises are flourishing in New
Berne and the interest in such indus
tries is on the increase, the question
arises again, Can wo not get a good
cotton factory here V
Tho large cottcn factory :he build
ings for which are now bciog erected
in GoldBboro, is a good plant that is
being moved down from the North
where it has heretofore been run and
waa secured on tha following condi
tions: First, Two acres of wtii located land
on the Atlantio and N. C Railroad at
the northern liiii cf Goldrbcro were
donated for the site by one of the public
spirited citizens, Mr. Arnold Borden
and then en agreement v -sa entered into
by different parties of the city to loan
810,000 on tho buildings, machinery
and grounds.
Ground hes already been broken for
the building?, iho main cno is to be
75x125 fter, Eiioiiicr G0x40 and still
anotbfcr 24x23, and all of them are so
constructed that they can be enlarged
nsreafter as ti:s bucinees may require.
The advantasjs of the South over the
North for factories of this kind are be
ginning to be realized and acknowl
eii;cd even by those wbo v. oulJ fain
believe the opposite, and thfy are
springing up all over tho South. The
number in North Carolina is increasing
rapidly and ttiey tsre paying good divi
dends. If our people wiil net invest
for themselves in such a factory per
haps one can be secured on 6ome plan
similar to the way Goldaboro secured
hers. Perhaps other factories are ready
for a chanee if a little inducement ie
offered. Here is a good opportunity
for investigation by the board ot trade
and for eerioua consideration by our
capitalists and business men.
Homicide in Greene County.
Saturday afternoon about three miles
from Hookerton Mr. Dub Smith and
Mr. John Brown got into a fuss, which
ended fatally for Brown . The trouble

THE DOUBLE MAIL.
Will Be Established if Proper Carrying
Facilities are Arranged.
A favorable reply has bs-ea reo. iei
from the Government in response to the
petition from cur citizen for the estab
lishment of a double dailv moil. Wil
j lingness to supply a doubio mail ser
vice is intimated provided llm traiiit j
' will run right to take it. It now rc !
mains to act on the suggestion cflsred
confer with the railroad ofHcUls and!
then communicate with tha Post effice !
department again on the tuitur. And,
we are satisfied this will promptly be
done and we are hopeful iu regard to i
the ultimata result. '
We have been wanting the double ;
mail accommodations a loog time and I
some effort io that direction has been
made in the past but never has the
prospect for success been so bright es at
present. It lies now with ihe railroad
and tho people. Let evry ona who
desires this daily mail (and ho is
there that doeen't ) go to work and
taiK and uso whatever influence he
possesses for the putting on of tbe ad
ditional trains.
Tho daublo service it desirable, uot
only for th-i rnnvnn inru in r.f,,,or,
to the mail but for the increase io trade
and in the number of vi itors ic will
bi ing to the ci'y.
Travelling and other business men
who wish to spend but a few hours ia
the city oan then do eo omo now
pass us by for lack of this very ae
cotamoditiou. Likewise those who
live west of tha city could then trade
here acd return home the same day by
train end this would have a tendency
to cause them to use the railroad more
than they da, instead cf their trains.
We doubt not that the income froai the
increased patronage added to the ad
ditional turn the government wou.d
pay for the increased service would py
ihe eipeceQd ci the added trains from
the vt ry start possibly more than do
so. At any rate this service would be
an important developing f actor and the
railroad would soon feel the beneficial
effects thereof. Let us have tbe double
mail. It will benefit all, and every
body desires it.
Tajs is Naturally a Fruit Country.
Mr. Frank Wethersbce, of Burling
ton, who has been visaing his father,
Mr. B. Wetheretee, thowed us as he
was leaving on the steamer Neuse, of
tbe E. C. D. !i,ie, on n bueinexs trip to
Elizabeth City, some beautiful pears of
the Keiffer b Hybrid variety that were
raieed by Mr. A. E. Wadsworth. They
were large, perfectly shaped, of a nice
color and altogether as fine in appear
ance as one could wish to tee. Four
weighed nearly five poundf.
It is a matter of surprise that with a
country as well adapted to fruit as ours
that no more attention is paid to de
veloping the industry. Note the one
item of pears. They always command
a good price and wherever you see a
tree that receives even ordinary atten
tion it is filled with splendid fruit and
we ought to be shippers of it in large
quantities and yet. astonishing aa it
may seem, not enough is raised to sup
ply the home demand. The pears now
offered for sale in New Berne are from
the Northern markets though we have
seen home-grown that surpassed in
size, beauty and doliciousnees of flavor
any that we have seen from elsewhere.
We have noticed during the summer
just passed some raised -in the city that
weighed near two pounds, and oar
Onslow county correspondent this Week
tells of one raised in his neighborhood
that weighed three pounds and a half.
We belieye there would be &s much
clear money in aa established orchard
of this fruit as in any thing that could
be BtaneJ.
A HARROWING STORY.
A Thousand Dead from Starvation
Survivors Too Weak to Bury
Them.
St Petkrsbukq. Nov. 2 A harrow-
lncr sr.orv comes from the province of
Samara. The peasants are so reduced
by starvation and want that in any of
them are unable to no even to the
government distributing points for
supplying food. In one village no lets
than forty-two have perished, and the
number of dead in the whole province
will amount not less than a thousand
The survivors in most instances f-re too
weak to attend the burial of the depart
ed, and officials are compelled much
aeainst their will to enter the remains.
Samara is also visited by typhus fever
which is playing havoc with those who
have man seed to survive the famine.
St Petersburg. Nov, 2. The Imperi
al Ukase, prohibiting henceforth tbe
exoortatioa of all oereals except wheat,
also interdicts the sending out of the
country of potatoes, flour, malt, maul
dough and baked bread.
Fleeinpr from Russia to Kansas.
New York, Nov. 2 The advance
guard of a Russian colony seeking
homes in Kansas passed through the
barge office today. The party number
ed thirty-eight, and were compelled to
fly from Pieffer, a little town on the
Volga, beoause of what they termed
unjust tribute levied upon them by the
Russian t overnment. They belong to
the better class of peasantry.
A White Lynching in Georgia.
Atlanta., Ga.. Nov. 2 Larkin Nix
of Thomas county, who had murdered
the father of a girl he had ruined, for
which he was under indictment, was
taken from jail last night at Meigscs and
lynched. All the parties were white.
