"Things are not as they should be." This is always the case There is not a moment of time in which thrre is not something out ol plaoe. The era ol perfection una not arrived, nor is its coming to be expected at an early day. Some months ago North Caro lina wah congratulated on the num ber and the character ol appoint ments given to tier people, and Sen ator Ransom was co npl minted for hid "solendul work" lor his constiuieutH. More recently few offices have come to North Oorolinians. Is any one at fault? We cannot tell, but a coudit.on of affairs exists which to say the least, is embarrassing. A Waahiugtoo special to the Charlotte Observer, of 17th of September sajt: Senator Vance returned this morning. He and Senator Ransom had a conference on the floor soon after the Senate convened. Subse quently Senator Vance told me be mtented to fight "Uncle Kope's" nomination, but it was not deeided whether he would oentest Simmons.' Ayoock's appointment will not be contested. The opinion among the Representatives seems to be that Senator Vance will not try to de feat anybody bat Collector Elias. The nnauc committee will consid er the latter ease to-morrow. It has been reported for a day or two that Representative Settle is an xious to have the Republican Sen ators join with any Democrats so disposed in order to reject Sim mons and Elias. He has been ac tive recently in tbe Senate." Senator Vfvnoe Is firmly entrench ed in the hearts of his conn try men. He is not only a great man, but a good man. He is one of nature's noblemen, with a heart large enough to take in all his people. We do not know why it is that be will fight Elias. But, of this we are sure, it is not because of any influence that Senator Ransom may have had in the appointment of Elias. Vance is not so petish as that: Ransom never interfears in matters not necessarily involved in bis Senatorial duties. We cannot believe that the accom plished and usually well informed correspondent of the Observer is correct in the Statement that Sen ator Vanoe is undecided about Mr. Simmons. Zeb Vance is no mere pretender. Again and again he has endorsed Mr. Simmons. That Mr. Simmons is opposed by Popu list and Republicans is well known, but that Senator Vance has become their Leuitenant ia preposterous and absurd. The great Senator will not long permit himself to be misunder stood, and we are confident that the con formation of Mr. Simmons will quickly follow tbe return of Senator Vanoe to Washington. The late Pennsylvania Demo, oratio Convention declared for Gold and silver money, but reques ted Senators to vote for tbe uncon ditional repeal bill. Business is gradually returning to its normal condition. Merchants are buying more liberally, manu facturers are running their - plants on full time, idle hands are finding work, money is circulating more freely, people are paying their bills more promptly and everything de notes a better state of affairs, and yet Congress has not repealed the Sherman act and the Senate is still dallying in debate. Baltimore Manu'actnre's Record. It Is hard for a protectionist to talk ten minutes without contradic ting himself. In their statement be fore tbe Ways aod Means Commit tee the macaroni mannfaotnrers said if tbe dnty of two cents a pound on in ported macaroni were repealed they would be obliged to give np the business, as they could not compete with their foreign com petitors without protection. By way ofshowiog the importance of this industry tbey said, later on, that they exported considerable maca roni to Mexico and Colombia. Now, it is dear tnat it they oan compete with foreigners in Mexico, where tbey bavs no protection, they can do the . same at home, and their pretense that tbey would have to go out of business with the remov al of tbe duty is proven to be false. Suppose we stop howling "hard times." The cry has become monot onous, and as a matter of fact it isn't true any longer, even if it were ever justified. People have been crazy and badly scared that's all. Men of wealth have run j ast as hard and yelled just as loud as the savings bank depositors have. Wages have been cut doirn and men have been discharged an ticipation of a disaster that has not yet occurred. Money has been drawn from saving banks and put into old stockings because of an un reasoning distrust. Suppose we re sume business again. Currency is beginning to circulate freely. The Sherman law is on its last legs, and will soon be knocked over the ropes entirely. There is no obstacle to a complete - resumption of business except the (lingering remnants of tbe financial delirium tremens fiom which we have been suffering. Start the wheels whirring again. Choke of tha yawping. Qet sober. The spree is over. Chicago Herald. OU SOLDIERS Thin writer has ;i right, to speak for tho old Ho!ditrn ol the Confeder acy. Although itusociated with the troops ot alio' h ri Stt he was iu adivmioil with t.hrt Nort Carolina, britfudnH, Hud hear cheerful testi moDy to their wpletolid oourage and heroio wii'umiirc. Indeed the Con federate soldieis, Imiii nil StHtes, deserve (lie foremo.v rank m the world's great soldiery. NHpoleon's Old Guard and VVelingtou's In vincibles were do better soldiers than the men who fought with Lee and Jackson Peuder, Ransom, Petigrew and Grimes. N e have noticed with regret that it is charged that the veter ans al the Soldier's Home are not properly oared for. If it is trne let us believe that it is purely ac cidental and not the result ot crim inal neglect. A receot letter from Washing ton Informs us that "every position from chief of division to floor scour er is reserved for a Union Soldier." Now we do not object to any good fortune that comes to Union Veter ans, but we shall cover ourselves in sackcloth and ashes when any Southern State refuses to Southern Soldiers the honors due to their character aud their fame. Gen. Fiizhugh Lee is a cani date for the United States Senate, and we commend tbe words of the Richmond Times when it says: "Tbe Times is taking no part what ever in promoting tbe candidacy of any individual, but it has a word to say on one point, of a general nature. We hear an occasional sng gestion that it is time was cutting loose from tbe war and selecting her represenative men from per sons in no way indentlfied with the war. The Times is for no man, bnt the Times will never bear this said and bold its peace. We have now in the Senate two men who dtstin guiahed themselves in the defence of Virginia in her dire need, and we trust the time will never come during their lines wheu Virginians wbo shed thrir blood on her battle fields will not have a distinct claim upon her by reason of that very fact. The Virgioiau wat true to his State daring the four long and try ing years of the war, who bared bin breast willingly to every shot aim ed at her, and cheerfully offered up everything he had in life to aid in driving a ruthless and devastating invader from her soil, proving him self, in doing this, to be a man who will represent her now, wherever he is sent, with the same fidelity and courage which made her glorious then. Virginia owes tnese men a debt of gratitude which can never be paid, and however worthy to represent ber others of her sons may be, she knows that in them she has children that are trusted, true and tiied." Soon after the meeting of tbe present Congress the Journal, suggested the calling of a Caucus of the Democratic members. Again, aud again we insisted on it. At last a caucus has been held, and the Federal election law will be re pealed. The Columbus Evening Ledger takes this hopeful view of the sit uation: "The 15th of September, which is regarded as tbe beginning of the best business season of tbe year, has passed, and now we may expect business to open with a rush. The people are tired of the panic; they are more tired still of waiting for Congress to 'do some thing;' crops are coming in, cotton is bringing a good price, and the people are losing sight ot the panic by relying upon their own efforts, and doing the best they can to get along. The Ledger expects to see Columbus, do tbe heaviest fall and winter business she has done in ten years." Tbe surgical operation that was thought to be necessary a few weeks ago to remove tbe lump that formed iu the npper part ot Sere tary Carlisle's right arm, while not supposed to be a serious matter in any way, was still too serious for Mrs. Carlisle to regard it with any favor. When the Secretary announ ced that he was going to have the lump cot out she reasoned him out of that idea, at leastuntil the could apply a course of old fashioned home treatment and rubbing. She has been so successful in ber diag nosis that the bothersome lump has almost completely disappeared, and ot e. il i'e all tile oaiu and ntl noyauo- with it. Secret try Cailisle dates the commencement of the pain in his arm to bis visit to the World's Fair In July last. In com pany with a party ot mends he took turn shoo ing at a target, His ritla did some violent 'kick ing,'' and immediately thereafter be felt twinges of sharp pain through the right arm and hand, and of which be really has not been relieved till the last few days.

The Southern Planter for this month give tbe true side of the home supply producing farmer's situation when it says: "We are only able, to say that we en tirely agree with one of the large farmers in the State, who on returning horn from Richmond a few days ago where he had been to try to collect about $ 1,000 due to him for produce sold from his farm, and had failed to collect a cent, said to his wife: "I thank God I am a farmer. We have a large stock of live stock of all kinds, splendid crops, and abundance of everything to feed our stock and ourselves for twelve months at least, while the merchants and people in the city have neither food nor the means w herewith to buy it. We can wait without suffering, whilst they must largely suffer and go into debt, until the wheels of commerce get to running again. We can do with out their help for a time without incon venience or loss, whilst they must sooner or later come to us for our produce to enable them to live.' lie was right, and this is the strength of the farmer's po sition." There's the philosophy of the situation stated brerly and sensibly. It is worth all the talk made with the intention of causing tbe farmer to le discontented with his Int. " I lie Old Confeds." In the Austin (Texas) Evening News of September 11th, under the caption of "The OldjConfeds-', an itemized account appears of what the different states are doing for the indigent old Confederate soldiers. About North Carolina it states: "North Carolina has 4747 pensioners who received $103,000. It has a soldier's home with 50 inmates, and the cost of its maintainance this year has been so far $10,000. To those who have visited the soldiec's home at Raleigh and seen the wholesome but plain and inexperienced manner iu which tbe institution is conducted, it will be a little surprising that each in mate has cost the state "so far'' this year the sum ol $200, an amount in excess of what the best hotel in Raleigh would take the contract for. The $103,000, divided between the 4747 pensioners, or about $21 each per anntlm, is smaller than the general pub lic is aware of, but if the figures of the Texas 'paper are correct, there is room for reform in the administration of the soldier's home that should be attenJed to. The disabled and decrepid soldiers should have the full benefit of the ap propriation. A. Hatchett. ULENGARRY DEATH SONG. The September issue of "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine" is made notable by a hitherto unpublished poem of Sir Walter Scott's. The number opens with an historical sketch of "Glengarry and His Family : Some Reminiscences of a Highland Chief," in connection with which the verses are published. Sir Walter wrote a "Lament'' for Glengarry, which has beeu in possession of the family ever since. Following are four of the stanzas: Land of the Gael, thy glory has flown I For the star of the north from its orbit is thrown ; Dark, dark is thy sorrow, and hopeless thy pain, For no star e'er shall beam with its lustre again. Glengarry Glengarry is gone evermore, Glengarry Glengarry we'll ever de plore. O tell of the warrior who never did yield, O tell of the chief who was falchion and shield; O think of the patriot, most ardent and kind; Tben sigh for Glengarry in whom all were joined. The chieftains may gather the combat ants call ; One champion is absent that champion was all; The bright eye of genius and valor may flame, But who now shall light it to honor and fame ? WThy sounds the loud pibroch, why toils the death bell. Why crowd our bold clansmen to Garry's green vale ? 'Tis to mourn for their chief for Glen garry the brave ; 'Tis to tell that a hero is laid in his grave. A NEW AND ATTRACTIVE PLAN. Industrial Savings and Loan Company Withdrawal Feature. Is New and Original. No membership fee required. This Company absolutely makes no charge of membership fee as is customary with Building and joan Associations, thus saving its stoak bolders that amount. This company allows withdraw als at any time upon proper notice and after 15 months every cent paid by the stockholder is returned together with interest at 6 per cent. The stockholder at this period and thereafter as well, is therefore at least $1 00 per share better off than he would be in the average Association. Issues several classes of stock. Loans made promptly. Agents wanted. Address, H. J. Green, Gen'l. Agt. New Berne, N. 0. Box 689. Christian College Opened The North Carolina Christian College at Ayden, this co.inty, was formally opened on hist Friday with appropriate exercises, and the regular work of the first session of the iu-titution was begun Monday morning Prof. L T. Kightsell is principal. On Friday there was a huge gathering of the people of the community and thev j listened attentively to an admirable ud- dress by our townsman, ex-Gov. T. J. I Jarvis. It is well known by all our peo I pie what an earnest advocate of education ! Gov. Jarvis is and he always cheerfully gives his influence to any enterprise that has tor its purpose' the instruction of the youth of our land or the enlightenment ot the people. The educational interests of North Carolina made more advancement in the six years that he was Governor than ever before marked twice that number of years. He made one of his best speeches at Ayden, and what he said will bear good truit. This college at Ayden is under the i auspices of the Christian or Disciples church. Those foremost in the denomi nation became desirous of a good school and a meeting was held in April to con sider the question of locating. Ayden was selected as the place for the college, this being centrally located in these Eas tern counties where the greatest strength of the denomination exists. Only five months haye passed since that meeting, yet in that short time land was secured, the building planned, material procured, and work has progressed rapidly until a large two story building adorns the beau tiful 10 acre lot apart for the institution. The college is splendidly located, its friend have labored earnestly for it, and we expect to see great good come there from. Greenville Reflector. Garment Cutting' School. A garment cutting school will soon be opened in the city under charge of J. R. Starling who arrived here Friday for the purpose. Along with the instruction tbe Nation al Garment Cutter will be introduced. The headquarters for the invention are at Chicago and the Southern headquar ters a Nasheville. Mr. Starling brings with him strong testimonials from those who have taken the course and supplied themselves with the instrument, as to its simplicity, effi ciency and accuracy, that any school girl can learn to do the work in from six to ten days and that the operator is enabled to cut and fit any garment for man, wo man and child, it being a complete sys tem. Among the testimonials are about twenty from different parts of the State, notable among these are the ones from Prof. Jas. Dinwiddie, President of Peace Institute. Raleigh aud from Miss Thaxton teacher in Greensboro t-Ymale college. The Goldsboro Argus says the success attending the introduction of the cutter in that town was pheuominal and that about 200 of that city's ladies studied the system, wealthy ones as an accomplish ment and others as a matter of economy and expressed themselves highly pleased. We have given more space than we would ordinarily do to anything seeking an introduction iu tlie cily. We do so because we are a strong believer iu indus trial education, and because the accom plishment that will be taught in this school ought to be quite general.

Yates, in prefer nee to the unfortunate results of the Teachers trip to Chicago. Dr. Yates first corrects an allusion to him as being in the Wesieru North Carolina uonterence and says : "I always prized New Berne so highly, her people, climate, fish, o iters, chickens, ducks, beautiful women and intelligent men, her water, her breezes and her skies, that I have never desired to get very far ironi her. And therefore I ex pect to live and die iu the N. C. or Eastern conference. 'Not because I 1 ve Ceasar less, but Home more." Then Dr. Yates relerring to the state ment that in his card in the News and Observer he announced bis belief in Col. Harrell's innocence define- his ( t posi tion thus : "It is true, I did this, but only indirect ly, and when the general principle of law that every man is to be presumed inno cent until lie is proven guilty. To my mind he presumptive evidence of his innocence consisted of two facts, 1st. His good character. 21. The probability that an intelligent man would not imperil his character in such a public way for a few dollars. "My belief therefore was on the nega tive side, that is, that be had not been proven guilty, and was only tentative, and in accordance with the principle of law stated above. True, very reputable good people, charge fraud, but may not this be largely premature, aud suscepti ble of clear anil honorable explanation. The courts are open aud justice could easily be reached. "I am not trying to prove Ilarrell in nocent. But that charity, which we all need both from God and man would teach us to put the best construction possible upon the conduct of our fellow men until guilt is proved. Of course, if a man believes that an other has defrauded him he believes him guilty. And I do not impugn the mo tives of those who so believe. Nor do I coudemn editors for their criticism of public acts. I am not acquainted with Mr. Harrell, I am not judging the case on either side. All I claim is that it is probable, upon a fair investigation, thU while some errors and mistakes may have been made, that the gentleman did not intend to defraud. Charity ought to be the rule of human conduct. The element ot prayer that has the diviue sanction is this : "That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me." E. A. Yates. Telegraph Line Nearly Completed. The Western Union Telegraph Line along the W. N. & N. R. II. is now con structed to within six miles of the city. Fourteen men under charge of Foreman A. H. Barner are at work on It, and they are coming ou at the rate of about two und a baLf miles a day, consequently unless some unexpected hindrance occurs the line will be completed to New Berne by Saturday. It will be connected both with the V. N. & N. R. It. depot and with the telegraph office. The first message from Polloeksvtlle was sent over the wires last Saturday.

The papers last night bring news of a bloody carnage at Roanoke, Va., result ing from an attempt to lynch a negro who murderously assaulted and robbed a white lady, wife of a well-to-do farmer. Five thousand angry citizens surround ed the jail thirsting for the negro's life but the storm being foreseen the lteanoke Light Infantry bad been placed t he i e to see the dignity of the law up held. Five hundred men made the attack on the jail and the military fired. Twelve were killed and as many more seriously wounded. The attention of the mob being dis tricted the negro was slipped out of jail and spirited away, thus saving his worth less neck in spite of the inhuman slaughter. The excitement was s(j bigh, though the town had become omipai a i lv quite, at last acc unit. VENGEANCE 8ATIATEIL i The Roanoke Mob Catches, Hangs, Shoots and Burns the Negro Fiend. The Mayor and Military Have F ed the City The Evidence Reflects Serere'y on Them. Robert Smith, tbe Roanoke negro who so brutally assaulted Mrs. Henry Bishop and to save whose miserable life a num ber of citizens were shot down, paid a horrible penalty for his crime shortly le fore five o'clock Thursday morning. Tbe officers when they removed bim from the jail with him in the woods. Finding that squads of men were scouring the country for him tbey thought it better to' get him back in jail but ou the way a squad of twenty men dis covered them and with a rush captured the prisoner. With shouts and yells they rushed him to the nearest tree a hickory, hanged his bodyj to a limb and fairly rid dled it with bullets, leaving it horribly mangled. The small body of men having done their work well, disappeard. All was over by 5 o'clock. At nine o'clock the next morning the coroner cut the body down and the jury n ndered a verdict that he came to his death at the hands of a mob of unknown persons. After the inquest the officers attemp ted to take charge ot the body but the surging mass of avenging men would not let them touch it, but took it them selves, hauled it in a coal cart to the mayor's yard (against whom they were angry for ordering out the military) with the intention seemingly of burying it in his front yard. A minister by kindly words dissuaded them from this design aud at the sug gestion of some one they took the body to the river bank and burned it with dry wood and coal oil until at noon there was nothing left of him except a few ashes and here and there a bone. Those standing around declared the tire should burn until not a vestige of bim was left. The corrected list of tbe casualties in tbe encounter with the military shows that eight was the number killed and twenty-seven men and one negro woman wounded. Three of those wounded are not expected to live. Mayor Trout was wounded in the foot by a pistol ball. This was the only inju ry to any on opposing tbe mob. He was taken to a hotel, but the threats of the mob were so strong against him that his friends removed him to the country for safety, and he afterwards went to Lynchburg. Capt. John Bird of the Light Infantry who gave the order to tire has disap peared. It is known that he has lelt the State and the opinion is freely expressed tnat he will never return. None of the soldiers of the company have been seen since the affair and their whereabout are unknown. The first attack on the jail was made on a side door and the first volley was fired there ODe man beiug killed. Ac cording to tbe officers statements the mob in front rushed upon the jail and were fired upon by the larye squad sta tioned outside. Public sentiment is divided. The majority of the people think that blood shed might have been avoided but many uphold the course of the mayor and militia and contend that the 'only course was to shoot or surrender the prisoner. The testimony thus far adduced bow ever is very damaging to tbe military. It is to the effect that the firing in front was unprovoked, that no assault was being made on that part of the jail, that the soldiers continued firing after the crowd began to run and even after tbe people were well away from the jail. The coroner's investigation as to tbe shooting began at three and after a few witnesses were examined adjourned until Friday morning. Alamance Fair at Burlington will be held Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 3rd to 6th.

Latest reports are to the effect that it is thought there will be no further spread of tbe disease. H. L. WALTON IN NORFOLK. The Special Work in Which He li Now Engaged Great Hoccesi At tending It. Our people remember well Mr. Harry L. Walton, the first secretary of the New Berne Y. M. C. A. whose active zeal in religious work here were ended in a few months by a call to Norfolk to engage as superintendent of "The Union Mission" in an effort to reclaiui fallen women work which is almost everywhere passed by without notice. The idea of this specific work for the outcasts originated in the minds of 8 few Christian men. It has now been carried on a year in an undenominational way and the results ol the movement are given to the public in a report published in small pamphlet form u few copies of which have M C. Th. A hoi IMto c( ied at the New Heme Y . un-. A iioit -hows astonishing success u- a pmchused and converted i i, inpor.ii v home for the class it designed to reach and a chapel where as gos wh pel meetings are held nightly for all t) will altend. The statistical report shows attendance, iio,4 78, average attendance 65; requests for prayer 1,058; confessed in Christ 188; visited by superintendents 1,144; received iu home 28; visits to sick by superin tendent 110: assisted medicine, board &c. , 104; physician attended 11; street talks to women 451, street talks to men 361; employment found for 20. J Mr. Walton commenting on the work says the history of mission work for this class has demonstrated the fact that tbey can and desire to be saved and that tbey are treated too much like the lepers of old "ceremoniously UDflean, no one drawl near.'' Death of Jas. t Harrison James Carter Harrison was born in Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 17th 1888, and died in peace at Lis residence on Pollock street in this city, September 81st, 18WL, aged 54 years, 9 months and 4 days. He leaves a wife, four sons and one daughter, and one sister to mourn bis death. He was a consistent member of the M E. Church South, and died in great hope of a blissful immortality. Mr. Harrison, followiug the occupation of a printer, moved to New Berne shortly before the outbreak of the war. After the city fell into the hands of "tbe Federals he remained in the capacity of Govern ment printer. After the war he run a newspaper tor awhile, and later became clerk of tbe Superior court and then he bold the office of Register of Deeds for eight years At the time of his death he was public Administrator which position he has held for some half a dozen years, Mr. Harrison died after an illness of twelve days with malaria', fever. Tha immediate cause of death was failure of his heart to act which failure was pro duced by the pressure of gas formed on his stomach. Mr. Harrison was careful in his busi ness habits of a friendly and accommo dating disposition and as a natural consequence was generally liked by those who came in contact with him in either business or social relations. Remarkably Good Features. The new features of the Mechanics and Investors Union, the National Building and Loan Association which is represen ted by Mr. Geo. Allen are attracting much notice and exciting very favorable comment among our cftlsens, especially those of tbe guarantee fund and the ac cident and life insurance features with additional cost. By means of these a member's stock is carried for him in case of disability or death just as long as may be necessary even up to the matflrity of the stock. Thus in ewe of the death of a non-borrowing member bis heirs w ould, without any further pay ments receive the maturity value of the stoc k at the expiration of the term and the widow of a borrowing member would have all property pledged to the associa tion returned to her free of incumbrance. There are features probably not found in any other similar association in the world. Water Works Notes, The construction of the water works is being pushed ahead. The well-boring after a brief interruption was resumed Tuesday, and it will not be long now before the laying of the pipes which have been distributed along the street will be tiegun. The pumps are in position and the en gines are leing p'.aced. The bricking up oQlhe engine house and white wash ing of the brick work including the seventy-five foot high chimney is nearly finished and the yard around it being nicely graded, all of which is causing the work to present a Btriking and attractive appearance. Paper-Shell Pecans. Mr. Jonathan Havens has left at our office, twigs from his paper shell pecan trees with the fruit clustered on them as many as five in a bunch. They are very fine. Tbe tree from which they are taken is twenty-two years old and Mr. Havens has sold as much as forty-two dollars worth of the nuts per season. Allowing ouly thirty two trees to the acre, this would be at the rate of over twelve hun dred dollars per acre. Fish Oil Factory Burned. The Morehead City correspondent of the Kinston Free Press says: "The fish scrap factory of D. Bell & Co , which was situated about S miles alxjve here, burned down Tuesday night. All of tbe dry scrap and oil was saved. The undried scrap was burned with the factory. No msuranc-i. This loss could not have come in a worse time, for the sound is full of fat-backs and they are as fat as they can be.'' Highwaymen In Gaston Jail.
