Oakes, Eranfrelist, Formerly a Vic tim of Liqaor Beeonfs latoxicated , After Tears or Total Abstiaeaes. Charges of drunkenness were re cently published against llev. E. W. Uakcs, an Jiivangenst who lias re cently conducted revivals in several North Carolina . towns. After in vestigation the charge is admitted and the circumstances made public. They go to show that Mr. Oaks m his fall is not a hypocritical, but a weak man; who was when nervously broken down overcome by an appe- tito which lie inherited and which he, in earlier life, had made . still stronger by years of indulgence. Air. Oaks last meeting was in Raleigh and at its close his hazzard broken down appearance was noted and directly after at Goldsboro he yielded to the old enemy after six teen Years of tbe total abstinence with the exception of one time when a physician administered brandy to him in illness. Rev. N. P. Mclntyre of Clinton sets forth the above facts in the Wil mington Messenger and says that in fchat community where Mr. Oaks is best kwowH, he today etauds -well, professors 01 religion and those out side the church alike appreciating the fact that his fall was uninten tional, unpremeditated and the re sult of a strained, overwrought, ner vous condition. I hey say that while Mr. Oakes usefulness iB im paired and probably for the present ended thev have not lost their con fidence in him. The Cbaaee of the Fuslonists. Last fall the allied enemies of democracy plead for a chance to how what economies and reforms they would bTing about. The peo ple gave them a chance. It speaks for itself. The reformers who went to Raleigh to reduce taxation and public expenses have succeeded in increasing both. Figures say the aggregate increase of public expense bv the last legislature amounts to nearlv $125,000. The cost of ncreasing the number of magis trates from five to eight in each township, a foolish and indefensible action, alone amounts to about $27,000. In order to meet these expenses .taxes have been increased, and people will pav more taxes tuis year than they paid last, notwith standing tho fact that they were promised that taxes would be reduced. In reviewing this increase of taxation, and the general failure of fusion to redeem its pledges Senator Starbnck, Republican, of Guilford, in a speech niaile this prophecy: "With red Douglass for senti ment, and the business men down on increase of taxation, it will be hard for another co-operation Legis lature to get back here two years hence," Mr. Starbnck may have spoken wiser than he knew. His Erophecy is one which nearly every ody who looks upon the record of the late session of the Legislature can but believe will come to pass. Sampson Democrat. STONEWALL CORRESPONDENCE.

Said to Hare Sailed Tor Brazil After Klllinr Line .In, and the Ma Shot Snppoudto b II im Was sa Aetor Who Hore a Mriklug Kespniblance te Bootn. A sensational story comes from Newark, O , in reference to J. Wilkes Booth, the slayer of Presi dent Lincoln. The story is told by Christopher C. Hitter, an intelligent German-American citizen, who ar rived in Newark nine months ago, and has since been doing landscape gardening, he says: "Today 1 am at liberty to disclose facts hitherto hin ted at bv newspaper writers, but strenuously denied by historians. "History says that Boston Corbett shot J. Wilkes Booth for Lincoln's assassination, but I sav that Booth is todav alive in Brazil, and that it was Edward Fnchs who was shot bv Corbett. Fnchs was an actor who bore a strikine resemblance to Booth, and, in fact. I know of fre quent instances where he was mis taken for him. "On May 6th, Booth and I both sailed for Brazil n a private schoon er, and arrived in rara on May 22d. I soon returned to Germanv. Let ters were exchanged by us. In 1884 I Booth and I met at Hamburg fo the first time since 1865. He then looked well and had apparently been prospering, lhe last time 1 heard from Both was in December, but 1 confident he is yet alive I know to a certainty that Booth frequently corresponded with Allan Pinker- ton." "Bitter says that he has almost completed a book on the subject of Lincoln's assassination. He says he promised Allan Pinkerton not to re veal this alleged fact for thirty years, and the time expired on the loth of April. Along with the above it may prove interesting to recall the inci dents connected with the President's death, and the last official act of Lincoln s life. . We copy them from a history of the war by li. lr. llor ton. of Now York, lhev are as follows: "No sooner was Richmond evac uatod than Mr. Lincoln paid it a visit. He was received in gloomy silence by its citizens, and after gratifying bis curiosity by staying a Few hours in the deserted residence of Jefferson Davis, he returned to Washington. "While in Richmond he had a conference with Judge John A. Campbell, in relation to the restor ation of Virginia to the Union. The details of this conference are as yet unknown, for but one of Mr. Lin coln's letters bearing upon it has ever been published. All patriotic men who desired to see our country restored were in hopes that Mr. Lincoln would allow the the Virgin ia Legislature to meet and make ar rangements for that purpose. lu his interview with Judge Campbell he agreed to do so, and gave orders to General Weitzel, then in command there, to allow the members to come to Richmond, upon the terms that they would re store the State to the I'uion. "When Mr. Liucoln, however, re turned to Washington, he again deliberately broke his promise, and while the whole country was con gratulating itself upon the adoption of a policy which would heal the wounds the war had made, it was startled on the afternoon of the 12th of April with the news that Mr. Lincoln hod refused to allow the Virginia Legislature to meet, in fact, had given General Weitzel pos itive orders to prevent it. Thus had Virginia, tbe grand old State of Washington and Jefferson, been completely stricken down as a oom monwealth. The fact of driving the Confederate Government from Richmond did not affect the dignity and sovereignty of Virginia, but this last act bio ted out the State and reduced her to the condition of a province of the Federal Govern ment. It was, however, the last order that Mr. Lincoln lived to promul gate. That very night he visited Ford's Theatre in Washington, and was killed by a pistol shot fired by .Tohu Wilkes Booth. Booth had entered the threatre unobserved, and making his way to the Presi dent's box, took daliberate aim and fired, then dropping his pistol and drawing a knife, jumped from the box to the stage of the theatre, and, brandishing his weapon, cried, "Sir einwr tyrannis Virginia is avenged." And, in a moment, be fore the people could recover from their fright, he dashed across the stage, out of the back door of the theatre, and jumping upon a fleet horse that he had awaiting him, was soon lost in the darkness of the night." LARUE LEGACIES TO COLLEGES. Davidson College $25,000 Oxford Orphanage the Sane-Uaion Thee logical Seminary. Ta., $50,000. Mr. James A. Bradley, of Oak land, Cal., just before his death last December executed to Davidson College a deed for certain buildings in Minneapolis, Minn., estimated at about twenty-five thousand dollars. This property is now in the posses sion of the college, and will add materially to its means of useful ness. Mr. Bradley was originally a Wil mington man, but moved west years ago, and amased a fortune, and being an unmarried man, he left about half his fortune to benevo lent institutions.

Care ful inquiry here concerning the re port thai ex-Senator Ilausoir, Minis ter to Mexico, is not eligible to fill the place to which he was recently appointed, on account of a constitu tional provision, finds tr.e story without foundation.

Senator Ransom's service as minister began when he took the oath of office and this was not until after his term as Senator had expired. ENJOINED FROM MAKING RETURN. Another Attack on the Income Tax Law Began in Ihicaeo. Chicago, April 15. Judge Show alter, in the United States Court this morning, enjoined Siegel, Coop er ii Co., from making any return to the internal revenue collector under tne provisions of the income tax law. The restraining order was granted on a bill filed by Gerson Siegel, oue of the New Y'ork stock holders in the defendant corpora tion. The bill attacks the law and under the order granted this morn ing the government will be com pelled to take part in tho proceed ings to defend the operation of the new law. When the attorney for Mr. Siegel presented the bill to Judge Showal ter the latter asked for an explana tion of the application. "This is the last day for the return of the income tax to the collector of inter nal revenue," said the attorney. "My client protests against his firm making anv navment of the tax or any report. He maintains that the bill in its entirety is unconstitution al. All we ask is for an order re straining the firm of Seigel. Cooper & Co. from making its return today. If not granted the firm will be liable to an imposition of $1,000 fine for failing to make the return." Judge Showalter took the appli cation, and after reading it made the restraining order. A bond of $4,000 will be filed by todav. By the issuance of the order of he court the firm escapes the payment of the fine. aVinn fl tha Snoreme Court, to which the question will be carried, decide against the complainant. Mr. Siegel in his bill raises all the nnestions that are involved in the income tax dispute, including those decided by the Supreme Court last week. A REMEDY FoVON-LMFriON. Minnte Dos8 of Pilocarpine Wi", It is Paid, Cure the Disease From Germany comes the first official news of a great American discovery said to cure the most dreaded of disease, consumption and cancer. Consul General DeKay, at Berlin, in a report of the State Departmeut cays the -discovery, which was announced late in March, in the most serious and trustworthy medical weekly in Germanv, is likely to receive con siderable attention at the coming medical congress in Munich. 1 he discovery was made by Dr. Louis Wald8tein, of New York, a brother of the famous archaeologist, Dr. Charles Waldstein. The new treatment, which has been perfected by studies abroad. consists of injecting minute doses of pilocarpine until the lymphatic system is stimulated and the white corpuscles of the blood overcome the poisonous pariicies wnicn pro duce the disease. Dr. Waldstein s researches have gone to the fountain whence these healthful white cor puscles spring, and by enlivening its action and productiveness re stores the condition of the blood, destroying poisonous germs. The lrnportancp of the discovery is thought to be far beyond those of rasteur, Koch, and others vasli- iAton Po6t. Georgia Bujs a Railroad. Atlanta, Ga., April 16. The Northeastern railroad was bought at foreclosure sale today bv Governor Atkinson, who bid it in for the State of Georgia. His bid was $100,000 and it was the only one made. The road runs from Athens Ga., to Lula on the Southern. The line is forty miles long. Several years ago the State of Georgia in dorsed $200,000 on the Northeast em's bonds. The purchase today was to protect the State, which now owns the property. Georgia also owns the Western and Atlantic railroad from Atlanta to Chattanooga. The latter road is a fine property. It is leased and operated by the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis railroad which pays $42(,000 a year rental. If no offer of lease is made for the Northeastern the State will operate it. A Waning to Divorced Ptop'e. Spokane Falls, Wash., April 10 Judge Moore, in the Superior court yesterday rendered a decision which will have a startling effect upon hundreds of people residing in this State who are directly affected. In the divorce case of Nelson vs. Nelson, the court held that a marriage was illegal when contracted in any State of the union between two parties, either of whom was divorced in this State, and before the statutory six months has passed in which an appeal can be taken. TO PREVENT A SUICIDE. A Mother's Desperate Straggle to Save Her Son from Sflf-Murder. Chicago, April 10. Dr. N. J. Neilson, a prominent physician, who had, until six- months airo, enjoyed a lucrative practice, made a desperate and probably successful attempt to kill nimself this morning at his home, 31) Ray street, in the presence of his mother. She was horrified to find him writhing in agony ou his bed from the effects of taking a dose of chloral. While the mother was trying to find some antidote Dr. Neilson suddenly rose, seized a razor and drew the blade across his throat before Mrs. Neilson could stop his hand. She sprang on him and wrested the weapon from his grasp before he could inflict another gasn. Break ing away from his mother the crazed man rushed into the kitchen, where he seized a knife and again slashed hiB throat. Then he ran back to his room, and turning on the gas tried to keep his frantic mother out, but the loss of blood and the chloral made him unconscious, lie had be come despondent through illness, and consequent loss of practice. ENGLAND AND NICARAGUA. The Former Declines tn Accept the l.atter' Reply tn Her Demand. The Monroe Doctrine Attacked by the German Press VTho Support England in the -Niearagriiaii Matter. I.(nihn April IS. The state ment that the Foreign Office de clines to accept the reply of -Nicaragua t the British ultimatum is made upon official authority. The discrepancy between this an nouncement and the statement made last Saturday that the reply was so satisfactory that the Govern ment had abandoned its threatened action against Nicaragua, is ex plained by the fact that the decision of the Foreign Oftice last week has been revised after consultation be tween Lord Roseberry and Lord Kiinberley concerning the later com munications from Nicaragua. Mehlin-, April is. The Vossis che Zeitung says in a leader on Kng land's trouble with Nicaragua. In this matter England represents gen eral European interests as well as her own. The Central American republics have been guilty of repeat ed acts of lawlessness against for eigners and need a salutary lesson. If the United States claim to extend the Monroe Doctrine so as to protect these unruly neighbors they must also undertake the responsibility of fulfilling their international obliga tions. TflUE IlKA VERY INDEED (iallant Sailor Van Dcr Wilt Awarded Two Medals for 11 is Heroic and Peril ous Services -A 1 Honor to This Noble Dutchman. Anton van der Wilt is a sturdy Dutchman who has followed tho sea since ho was fifteen years old, says the New York Times. He is thirtv-fivc years old now, but during his twenty years of seafaring life he never had better cause to feel proud of himself than when, in the presence of his shipmates 011 board the steamship Amsterdam, he was presented with two silver medals in recognition of his gallantry in aiding in the attempt to save tho crew of the American fishing schooner Mag gie E. Wells. Van der Wilt was one of the crew of the steamship Amsterdam, which on the afternoon of Jan. 14, met the sinking schooner Maggie E. Wells in-midocean. The sea was running high at the time, and the little schooner was being tossed about like an eggshell. A cutting hailstorm prevailed at the time, and it was apparent that the crew of the schooner would perish unless afford ed aid immediately. Capt. Stenger called for volunteers, and six ot the crew of the Amsterdam placed them selves under the commander of Chief Officer J. Meyer, putting off in a lifeboat. It was a difficult task to launch the boat, and before it was five minutes afloat, there came a great cross sea and a sudden squall, and it was capsized. The seven brave men struggled in the icy water for a few minutes, when throe of them sank. Van der Wilt clung to the keel of the un turned boat, while the chief oflicer and the other two men were battling hard for their lives. The Amsterdam steamed near, and lifelines were thrown over board. Meyer and the other two sailors seized it, but van der Wilt still clung to the boat. The sailors on deck began slowly to pull in the line, but in spite of frheir care the benumbed hands of the men in the water were powerless to hold tight to the rope, and, tatting it slip from their grasps, the throe brave fellows sank one after the other. It would have been fruitless to have launched another boat, al though thero were plenty of men ready to man it, so another line was thrown to van der Wilt. He caught it. slipped it around his body, and was then drawn on board. The Amsterdam circled about the wavo-washed hull of the sinking schooner until nightfall, waiting for a cessation of the storm so that another attempt to rescue the fish ermen could he made, but there was no lull, and when nothing more could be seen of the schooner tho Amsterdam steamed away slowly from the spot where six of her men had given up their lives. When the Amsterdam reached this city, and the officers of the Netherlands-American Steam Navi gation Company, to which .she be longs, heard of the gallant conduct of the men, van der Wilt was pro moted to the post of Quartermaster. This was not all, for his conduct was called to the attention of Con gress, and a bill is now before the House for the relief of the depend ent relatives of the seamen who were drowned, and also for the benefit of van der Wilt. Yesterdav morning a deputation from the New York Benevolent Society visited the Amsterdam and presented Capt Stenger with a gold medal, and Quartermaster van der Wilt with a silver medal, in recog nition of their gallantry. In the afternoon van der Wilt w;vs present ed with a silver medal struck off by the Humane Society of Massachu setts. At 1 o'clock, half an hour before the Amsterdam sailed for Rotter dam, the officers and crew were summoned to the promenade deck, and General Agent van der Toorn, of the Netherlands Lino, pinned the Humane Society medal on the newlcy-made Quartermaster's breast. Mr. van der Toorn made a short speech, saying that he hoped the bravery of van der Wilt and his unfortunate companions would be emulated by the other men of the crew, should an emergencv ever arise. Van der Wilt, in his own way, said that his only regret was that his ship's mates were not living to share his honors. Fined X.IOO for Carrvin Concealed Weapons. Jacksonv ille, Fla., April IS.

Kitchin, His Directors aiid Council! ry to Get in the "Pen" but Are Headed Off -Their Demand for Possession Refused and Salt Brought, The Raleigh Press gives the fol lowing plain statement of peniten tiary matters as far as they relate to the change affairs and directors. "There are about twenty three citizens of North Carolina, who claim to be directors of the State Penitentiary when the law only makes provision for 14. Five of these 2:5 so called Directors hold their titles undisputed. They are "Messrs. Bennett, of Statly; Frank Strouach, of Ralegh; Dr. Green, of Halifax: Armstrong, of Pender; and Young, of Cabarrus. Nine of the eighteen claim they were elected bv the followers of 1 Fred at the recent meeting of the Legislature. The journal show that there was no quorum present when they elected. "Tho matter of a quorum was a small thing for tho fusion legisla ture. The names of the new men are T. E McCaskcy, T. .1. B. Hoover, J. E. Bryan, If. B. Parks, E. F. Wakefield : Meyer Halm. .!. E. Clark. Henry Dockery and I!. E. Herbert. Governor Can', who lias so wise ly bucked against the multitudinous acts of the coufusionists, refused to recognize the appointments of the Legislature and Tuesday 10th inst issued commissions to the following named gentlemen : "B. W. Ballard, of Franklinton: G. A, Darden. of Spaight's Bridge: W. H. Smith, of Goldsboro; F. C. Kankin, of Faj'etteville: W. J. White, of tVarrenton: II. H. Ricks of Rocky Mount: W. J. Adams, of Carthage; P. S. Dale, of David son, and U. L. Lyburn, of Shelby." "The regular commissioned li rectors met at the penitentiary on the 1 7 in the morning at 11:30 in annual session. The nine new appointees of the Governor took the oath of office befcre Judge Marcom and at once began business. Hardly had they sat themselves down com fortably before a gentle knock was heard on the door outside. It was the knock of Buck, the man of many troubles. Buck's knock came auick and fact. With Buck was six of his no-quorum directors spier Whitaker and Col. AY. H. Day. The sought Mr. Leazer and demand ed entrance in the penitentiary. "In this he and his party were politely refused admittance by a vote from the superintendent, Mr. Kitchen, counsel and directors re mained on the scene 15 minutes and then returned the way they came by street car route. Mr. Kitchin says his three other Directors will arrive then they will meet and proceed to elect him Agent of the Penitentiary. "Mr. Kitchen and his Directors did not expect to be admitted in the "Pen" this morning. They went so as to get their case in tbe proper shape. A special to the Messenger under date of the 18th gives these further proceeding: The legislative board of directors of the pentitentiary this afternoon elected an executive committee, composed of Dockory, McCaskey, Hoover, Halm and Taylor, ami Dockery was made chairman. The board created the office of supervisor and general agent and it is to this that it has elected Kitchen. Throe of the board, Dockery, Mc Caskey and Taylor, went to the Eouitentiary at noon accompanied y William II. Day, of their coun sel, and were admitted to the pres ence of the Democratic board of directors. They demanded possess iyn of the penitentiary. This was refused and then they served sum mons on the Democratic directors, thus starting their case. They then returned to Raleigh and all of them left for home this afternoon. Senator Marion Butler, who has been here giving advice to the fusionists, also departed. W II. Kitchen will go to his home and make up his bond. He thinks he has a doad sure thing and that his getting the office is only a question of time. His attorneys say that if the attorneys on the other side, will consent to take the case next week it can be carried up at once to the Supreme court, otherwise it will be delayed six months. Some of the fusionist board evidently think their title to office is poor, and admit as much. They say the trouble as to no quorum voting for them was chiefly in the Senate. The Populists in the Legislature forced Kitchen upon the Republi cans, the latter exacting the pledges that he would exactly divide the offices between Populists and Re publicans. So before Cheek, one of tho directors, would agree to vote today for Kitchin he questioned the latter, and Kitchin declared he would positively carry that agree ment as soon as he got in. He and the executive committee, which is composed of three Populists and two Republicans, are given by their board full powr to make all appoint ments. A GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE. Mr. W. F. Hidden Organizes a Company in London to Develop Gold Mines in North Carolina. Newark, N. J., April 18. Wil liam E. Hidden, of this city, who returned from London on the Lucania last Saturday, went abroad 011 March nth to complete contracts in North Carolina. These interests were capitalized while Mr. Hidden was in London for "20,00o and a company was formed, called the Piedmont Mineral company, limited, of Ixnidon. Mr. Hidden was made director of tho company and was appointed the American manager, to have full charge of the company's property and interests in this country. Mr. Hidden said to a reporter that the new company owns 2,i0 acres of valuable mineral lands in the mountains of North Carolina and also owns all the mineral rights in another tract of 1,000 acres. I he principal mineral to be mined is gold, rich deposits of which exist on one tract which is sixty miles east of Asheville. Another valuable min eral is monazite, which contains thorium, a material used in pro ducing the incandescent gas light now being introduced in Newark. This mineral exists in large quanti ties on the company's property. Mr. Hidden goes to North Carolina next. Sunday. IfUie Bshy Is Cutting Teeth.

Mar tinez Campos arrived at Santiago at ." o'clock this afternoon and was enthusiastically received. The ves sels in tho harbor were gay with bunting and on shore the houses were profusely decorated with flags, especially in the streets adjacent to the water front. The wharves were crowded with spectators, who gave the general ;i warm welcome. Shortly after his arrival Gen. Campos was invited to attend a ban quet to be given in lii honor, but he declined tho invitation, remark ing that he preferred the assistance of the public in the work ot restor ing peace to the island. .1airii, April 10.

Washington", April is Reports from an authoritative source have reached tho Agricultural Depart ment that an unknown insect has attacked the watermelon plants of Southern Georgia and now threaten to destroy that product. The department at once dispatch ed Assistant Entomologist D. W. Coquillet to the spot to mako a thorough investigation. He will make a close study of this new pest and experiment in remedies for its eradication. This insect is said to be a small black bug that eats off the plant just below the surface of tho ground. This industrious little work er appears also to have a copartner in evil in the shape of a white worm that injures tho root of the young plants. The Southern railroad companies who during the season transports thousands of tons of this product have joined the farmers in urgiug tho department to interfere and pre vent the spread of the ravage if pos sible. BELMONT.VANDERBILT. Rumors or the Marriage of Mr. O. II. P. Belmont and Mrs. Willlfiin K. Yanderbilt. New York. April is. The Morning Journal today says: Mrs. William K. Yanderbilt and Mr. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont will probably be married today, the cere mony taking place somewhere in the environs of London. The Morning Journal's information on this point is very direct. Its source is a cable gram to a prominent club man. The dispatch conveyed the above infor mation and the receiver is as well known in Newport and its most ex clusive circles as in New York. From the tone of the dispatch it would appear that Mrs. Yanderbilt and Mr. Belmont have taken pre cautions to keep their intentions a profound secret, and delay the an nouncement of their marriage until as long after the event as possible. London, April 18 Nothing can be learned as to the origin ot a rumor vestcrday that Mrs. Alva Yan derbilt. recently divorced from her husband, Mr. William K. Yander hilt, and O. 11. P. Belmont, of New York, were to be married secretly m London today, but there is not the slightest evidence of its truth. Mr. Belmont ien Jjondon lor l'aris a week ago and Mrs Yanderbilt went to the Continent about March zotli. It cannot be discovered that either of them is now in London. FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Income Tax Returned The Conserva tive Democrats Will Filow Cleve land's Leave Persona's. Mr. Nesbit chief clerk of the In ternal Revenue Division told me today that the income lax returns from N. C. and Ya. were coming in very slow. He says he thinks there are probably about two hundred and fifty people in each state who will have to pay on over $4,000 income. He saws one cause of the delay is that the decision of the Supreme Court excluding rents and all state bonds, forced him to return the original tax returns to the deputy collectors. Today he sent a special telegram to these collec tors to hurry them up. It is said here today by well in formed politicians that the rank ing file of conservative democrats will folllow Mr. Cleveland's lead in favor of sound money, Mr. James E. Clark, formally a prominent citizens of Henderson, N. C. but now a resident of New port News, Ya. is here ou business connected with tho International Revenue Bureau. The National Academy of Sciences which meets in this city in the Lec ture room of the National Museum yesterday, is a very intellectual look ing body of men. One of the most interesting japers I listened to yesterday was read by Prof. Alexan der Agassiz of Harvard on the Formation of Florida Reefs. An other interesting discussion was carried on by Hansen of John Hopkins and Dr. Billings of this city about unhealthfnlness of badly ventilated rooms. They showed that the most dangerous bacili lurked in the dark corners of rooms from which air and sunlight had been secluded. Perhaps Mr. P. 1). Armour may find himself badly mistaken about the present exhorbitant retail prices for beef being kept up for four or five years. He and his associates may intend it that way, but they will find that there are others who will have some way. NEW SOUTHERN ENTERPRISES Cotton Mills, Coinpiesses. E'cctric Light Works, Factories, Hotels, to be Built in the South--Lage Invest mcnls hj Son hern Capltolist . Ba i.ti murk, April IS. It its weekly review of the industrial and railroad interests of the South, the Manfacturers' Record reports a num- ber of important enterprises and some considerable investments m Southern properties by outside peo ple. Contracts have been let by the Old Dominion Construction Com- ipany, of New York, for the building of forty miles of the Chesapeake & Western railroad from Rockingham, Ya.. West toward the coal fields of West Yirginia. The entire property of the Ala bama Iron and Railway Company of Shellield, Ala., including three fur naces with a daily capacity of ."(0 tons of pig iron. : 0,000 acres of mineral lands, and in addition to this some large tracts of coal land and a coking plant have been pur chased by Pennsylvania people. The furnaces, which have been idle since shortly after their construction in ls.0, will, it is said, be immediately put into operation, and the entire property worked on a large scale. The new company will be known as the Sheffield Coal, Iron and Steel Co. The original cost of this pro perty was over $l,.Vo,oo0. A 20,000 acre tract of farm land has been purchased in Texas by Dakota people, and it is expected .1. 1,, iivi. . : mat several mouaatui uaKoia iarm crs will be located on it within the next year or two. Among other matters reported were a $100,000 cotton compress company, $o,O00 cotton oil mill, $1 0,000" ioo company, 20,000 elec tric light company and three large compresses in Texas; $10,000 wire works, $20,000 electric light plant and water works in Tennessee; $2", 0OO paint work, $100,000 water works and rice mill in Florida; $20,000 bridge, $200,000 electric plant and $.50,000 cotton mill com pany in Alabama; two or three cot ton mill companies under organiza tion in North aud South Carolina; $15,000 furniture factory, $16,000 ice manufacturing company aud 40 barrel flour mill in North Caroliua, A large number of new buildings were reported, including a $50,000 court house in North Carolina; three hotels in Atlanta; a $100,000 court house; a $40,000 court house; a $30,000 college building, and a number of other miscellaneous largo buildings in other sections of the South. And Yet the Fusionists Are the Friends (1) of the Laborer. It appeara that Stewart Bros.,- the new State printers, are te make their jack by skinning the compositor. The Winston Republican Bays they "will fix the schedule of wages at 20 cents per thousadd cms." It is not enough for skilled work. The scale is 33 1-3 cents per thousand in Ral eigh, 25 cents in Wilming on, 30 oents on morning aud 25 cents on evening papers in Charlotte night composition coming higher almost everywhere than day work. The printers are not paid too much in any of the three cities named. Type setting is laborious work, and it can bo properly performed by ignora muses or by careless or untrained men. The State of North Carolina should be ashamed of having its type-setting done by men who re ceive for their work less pay than private employers allow for the same class of work but winch does not require equal competency and care private employers whose business does not justify them in paying as high wages as the State can afford to. The State of North Carolina should be ashamed of being a party to a contract under which the face of the laboring man is ground. Charlotte Observer. Trying: the Dispensary. The people of Waynesville are try ing the dispensary system of regula ting tho liquor traffic, and the experiment will ho watched with interest by other towns. The mana ger has a stock of whiskies, wines and beer, and opened for business Wednesday afternoon at 2 p. m. Thirty-five dollars was taken in be fore night. The same amount was sold on Tuesday. "We might add," says the Waynesvillo Courier, "that much living evidence was noticed on the streets Monday of the existence of the institution." The rules and regulations precribe that the dispensary will be open from sunrise to sunset, except Sunday: sober grown people only can buy: cash only will he taken; no person shall drink in the dispensary or loi ter therein. The Courier says: "It is the general opinion here that the dispensary system will be preferable to the old regime with so called prohibition with its drugstores and blind tigers. The commissioners are three of our best citizens and are determined to exercise their rights in managing and projerly restrict ing the sale of intoxicants." ON CRUTCHES 2 WEEKS Ijlmb Raw hb Beef and Red as Beet. Pain, Burning, and Itching Ter rible. Not 5 Hours Sleep In 3 Days. Makes One Applica tion of Cutlcura and in 5 Minutes Is Asleep. A Remarkable Case. About two years :i(;o I was conflned to my room with u breaking out on my let; which my physician irorioimcel Eczema. About three weeks ago Uic same disease broke out again on the same leg, ami my 1 hysician has been attend ing me regularly, , railing from once to twice daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A friend called to sec uie, antl brought about one half tcaspoonful of Ci'tktka, advising me to trv it, telling of himself, brothers and mother having len cured by it. I would not try it at first, although 1 had been on I'nifches for over two weeks, and at one time 1 c Minted between twenty-rlve and thirty sutpur a irig sorefl, and had not slept more than five houra in three nights. Monday morning about lour o'clock the afn, burning and itching be came so severe that 1 determined to try' i ti ci'ica, thinking that if it did no good, it could not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw as a piece of beef and as red as a beet, go I applied the Cvtiohra, and in five minutes after 1 laid down I was asleep. Next day I gent and got a box of Ci not ra. and I'll pledge my honest word 1 would not take $wa to-day for it, if I rould not get another. I commenced using CrnrrRA Mondav morning about four o'clock, and to dav (Tuesday) my leg is nearly well, not withstanding 1 hail not walked a step without my crutches in two weeks.
