Four thousand one hundred and sixty dollars and sixty-seven cents a month, 1.041.r.T a week, 148.81 a day, $t5.3 an hour and a little more than ten cents a miuute. That is the salary received by each of a number of well-known men in this country. A recent statement from Durham is to the effect that Will W. Fuller, of Durham, X. C, who already has the largest income received by any lawyer in the state, has been engag ed as counsel by the tobacco trust at a salary of $."0,i0 per annum. lhat amounts to more than the average man earns in a lifetime. It would be a fortune to many. The president of the United States. the chief magistrate of the nation, does not receive a greater remunera tion for his services, with all the re sponsibility which that implies. Iu fact .). i hX per annum is re garded as tho hign-water mark at which man s service can be valueU individually in thic country. And yet it is surprising to note the number of prominent officials in this city alone who draw this amount annually, over and above their in comes resultant from other financial transactions. Very truly it is said: 'To him that hatii shall be given." Almost without exception the re cipients of enormous salaries are men already wealty. or at least, en tirely independent in their circum stances. The services of Chauncey Depew, as railroad president, are valued at to0,000 a year. Rather than risk losing this snug annual income Mr. Depew politely declined an invita tion to become a member of Presi dent Harrison's cabinet. Henry B. Hyde, president of a life insurance company, receives a like amount. President John A. McCall and Richard A. McCurdy, both life in surance presidents, draw $100,000 a year between them in salaries alone from their respective corporations. Among those whose time is worth $6.37 an hour yearly, are President ThomasT. Eckert,"of the Western Union, Henry O. Havemeyer, presi dent of the sugar trust, and railroad President Roberts. Among the ministers of the gos pel Rev. John Hall, of the Fifty Avenue Presbyterian church, com mands the highest salary. He gets $35,(X a year, all of which is devot ed to charity. Rev. William S. Rainsford comes next, with asalary of $25,hh. His time and money are equally distrib uted among his parishioners, with the exception of an accasional in dulgence in his proclivities as a huntsman. The presidents of several of the big trust companies receive $35, a year each, and .1. Edward Sim mons, president of the Fourth na tional bank, who is a conspicuous figure in the financial world as the leader amoug the new school of bankers, receives the same amount. Jay Gould's physician, Dr. Munn, has been for several years in receipt of an annual salary of $-.0,i'x from the Gould family. On the turf, where money isnt money until the day is over, enor mous sums are paid the leading jockeys. Fred Taral, for instance, receives a retainer of $18,0Mt from the Keenes for one year's services. This amount is probably doubled by the emoluments and perquisites which accompany his position. Jockey Harry (i riffiu. who is but 18 years old, gets, as a retaining fee, tl,X) for each year he has lived from (Gideon & Daly, besides fees paid him by others for the privilege of having second or third call upon his services. X. V. Morning Jour nal. WETTYSBFRU BATTLE-FIELD, Wt, Carr will Appslat a Commission to Assist tbe C. S. Commissioner. GovernorJCarr has received a letter from the Commissioners of the 1". S. Battlefield of Gettysburg in which they ask that a commission be ap pointed to aid in ascertaining loca tion of commands. Hon. Wm. Rob bins and Hon, John S. Xicholson are the United States Commissions who make the request on behalf of the War Department. Their duty is to ascertain and suitably mark with permanent historic tablets the sever al evolutions of each and every com mand of the Armies of the Battle of Gettysburg, both Confederate and Federal, during the three days con flict. The letter of the Commssion ers says among other things: "The result, when finished, will be a mon ument to American manhood " The letter further says, We invite your co-operation on this matter and suggest the properiety of tho appoint ment of a State Commission of in telligent and worthy veterans who were present, and if possible, repre senting each organization from your State present in the battle, who will visit Gettysburg and locate the Ksi tion of the commands with which they served. We hope such a com mission will be sent by each of the Southern States." Governor Carr fully appreciates the undeYtaking of the Commission and will appoint a commission from this State at an early date. Raleigh Presss. Bir Dismissal of Government Clerk. It has been decided at the Treas ury Department to dispense soon with the service of sixty-four clerks, mostly women, who have been car ried for some time on what is called the "Bullion roll." The number of clerks under this head were few at first, having been employed and paid in accordance with provisions of the Slirman silver purchasing act of of 18'."0. Mr. Baldwin, the auditor for this department of work, after examina tion of the act. has come to the conclusion that it confers no specific authority for the appointment of clerks. Mr. Baldwin's decision is not final, but it is understood that this interpretation of the act meets with the approval of superior offi cers. Eight clerks on the tempor ary roll have been discharged be cause of the exhaustion of the ap propriation. Hospitability to Governor McKin ley in tbe South doesn't mean elecj toral TOtea for him.

Comptroller Eckel and a party of friends have just returned from the vicinity of Cape Hatteras. where they had fire sport shooting and a good time generally. And now, after all, it is said on good authority that Gen. M. C. Butler does not want the five thous and dollar place on the Indian Commission. It is learned that he has u very poor opinion of the sort of work they have been turning out and does not think it is likely to be improved.

One of the prettiest weeks the farm ever experienced for geueral work, was last week, and it was utilized generally about Bellair. Two or three frosts the past week kept tender growth from advancing rapidly. Beans, canteloupes and cucum bers, have leen planted on some farms. The potatoes planted when ground was too wet, have rotted some, and in a few cases the rot seems to be serious. Corn planting seems to bo on the program for this week. Some was planted last week. Mrs. J. H. Stevenson, who has been quite sick for some time seems a little better. Mrs. 1. Lane is able to walk now about the house with out crutches, and will perhaps soon regain Btrength. What has become of our peti tion ? The farmers of Bellair and Lima petitioned the late legislature for a stock law. Said petition represented ten thousand (10,000) acres of land most of it as good as Xorth Carolina has for general agricultural pur poses: we nave heard nothing from our petition. About three hundred acres of land owned bv persons who opposed the stock law seems to have controlled the larger peti tion. At any rate it died for want of ventilation or from some such cause. We would be glad to know the cause, so, we could prescribe medi cine for a similar case in the future. PERFECTION CORRESPONDENCE. The past week has been a most beautiful one. The farmers have worked with much energy. For they know they must make hay while the sun shines. There's been another big candy cookint. It was enjoyed much by old and young. Mr. Harris Lane spent a few days in our vicinity last week. We are glad to have you. Harris come again. Most of the people of our vicinity attended the Baptist Union meeting at Cove on Sunday last. They pro nounced it grand. Mrs. Matilda Arnold had stolen from her last week, a part of a bun dle of dry goods. It 6eems as though the thief was very liberal to allow her the other portion.

George who was on the car where the shooting occured. says the rob bers came on the second coach with the fireman ahead, of them. They carried a suck made out of one leg of ii pair of overalls and the passen gers were told to put their money and other valuables in it. They had robbed the first car and were just entering the second w hen Sheriff Boggart, who had been down the road on some business, was com ing in the other end of the car. He fired immediately on taking in the situation, hitting one of the robbers. As the robber fell he shot twice, both shols taking effect in the fireman's back and leg, and as Boggart turned partly around to get a shot at the other robber, he re ceived hia wound. Before he had time to fire a third time the second robber turned and ran out of the car. The robbers first entered the express car but as the safe had a time lock they were unable to secure anything and they proceeded to the coach. It is learned that Boggart had horded tho train at Sacramento and had taken a sleeper. When he w as awakened by the brakeman he im mediately put on his clothes and was in his barefeet when he econii tered the bandits. TO All) THE CUBANS. An ricttii8 to Furnish Them a Torpido Boat.

Last fall when the ground froze it was in the driest state ever known in the Northwest. The snowfall during tho winter was very light. Up to date very little rain has fallen, yet farmers have been forced by the open spring to go to work and get in their crops. Wherever they are at work they are enveloped in a cloud of dust. Such a situation was never before known in the Northwest. The lack of moisture in Lhe soil at this time of the year is without parellcl in the history of this region.

The proposition had been met by the presentation of certain conditions from tho Japanese plenipotentia ries. The discussion of the terms of final peace had not been entered upon.
