A special to the Xcw and Obser ver from Morehciul City. July ;tb, savs: A sensation was created today by the arrest of some of the most prominent citizens of Beaufort upon the charge of wholesale insuraee frauds. . Soma timo ago Col. John Y. Hinsdale, of Kaloigh. went to Beau fort with his stenographer and for several days took evhlence in regard to charges of frands on insuranco companies. This made peoplo ex pect that something further would be heard, but they were not pre pared for tho wholesale arrests made there today. It is believed that there has been a conspiracy here for some years to swindlo insurance companies, and the chargo is that tho local agents, examiners, and others havo been working together. Their plan seems to have been to insure some person who was on tho very verge of tho grave from somo fatal malady, and "when the insured party died to send a certificate that he died ofpneu monia caused, by. exposure or some similar disease. , Then they would divide the money between them. It seems that this has been carried on systematically for the past ten or fifteen years, and that oej-tain per tiee have made small fortunes out of the crime. As a result of these investigations tho following persons were arrested today at Beaiuort on warrants sworn out by J. W. Aiken, of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, charged with the most gigantic, and successful conspiracy to effect grave yard insurance on record: Dr. T. B. Delamar, ex - Treasurer , of Beaufort and Justico of the Peace and Medi cal examiner; Chas. li. Hassel, Levi T. Noe, Selden D. Delemar, ex Mayor of Beaufort; Jacob D. Dela mar; also general insurance agents; Rev. Stephen I Turner, David W. Parker, William Fisher, Albert Wigfall and William H. Turner. The five last are colojed. The names of companies and as sociations interested are: The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Associa tion, New Yerk; Massachusetts Benefit Association, Boston; Nation al Lifo Association, Hartfor 1, Conn ; Life Insurance Clearing Company, St. Paul; Michigan Mut ual Life Association, Detroit; North Western Life Association, Minne apolis. Col. 'John W. Hinsdale, of Raleish, who represents the com panion' civil suits against the parties for f vo.OOO, is conducting tho pro secutions, assisted by ex-State Soli citor O. H. Allen, of Kinston. At torney A. P. Masaey, of Raleigh, is Btcnographically reporting tho cases. Tho investigation before Magistrate Alien C.

Ruther ford and Orange Conntlea Who Can Faruifik.lt. En. Jopbjtal: For quite a time I have been interested in the Colon- ird Iliatoi j of North Onrplina. more especially with reference to lluther ford county, - (old Tryon,) Orajge county and Onslow. - In fiutherford ami Lincoln I have long since collected record evidence to disprove the statements made in Draper s Kings Mountain and fol lowed in Judge Schenck's "History of North Carolina" that William Gilbert at whose house of "Gilbert- town" (near the present Rnther- fordton) Major Ferguson lay before falling back, to his defeat at Kings Mountain on Oct 7, 17S0. "Was a loyalist." That very vear Uilbert presented his county in the House of Com mons. In Orange conn'y an inquiry has been to know whether Tyree Harris who was High Sheriff under Gov. Tryon 1767-8 and of whose tax-collecting notices the "Regula tors complained was an immigrant from Albemarle county, Virginia. While still seeking light on these questions it is of Onslow county that more especially inquire herein. hoping that if vou will be kind enough to give this space some local historian, fond of antiquarian re search, will be able to tell me if there is in existence any history ol the county. When, how and by whom was it first settled.'' Was Pender conntv a part of Ons low? In a personal sense I may say my inquiries relate to the name of Avirett (once an Unslow county name) more especially. Does this name now exist m that section? Who was the first settler in the county of that name and of what nationality? Is it a Huger- not name? When was the county first settled? Wheeler's History of North Carolina savs John A- Avirett represented the county in 1S3G. Who was he and where did he live? These questions readily suggest what I would learn if possible and from sources other than mere tradition if it might be. Respectfully, Floubxoy Riveu?. Pulaski, Tenn. Farm oies.

The Legislature having failed to make any provision for a State ex hibition at Atlanta, exhibitors to show the State's resources will bo made but they can New Hanover county has determined to havo an exhibit there and lias niado an ap propriation therefor. The Messen ger in noticing commends it and deplores the lack of a State exhibit in these words: "It is pleasant to know that New Hanover county will be represented at tho great coming Atlanta Fair that opens on the 18th of September next. The appropriation of $250, by the county commissioners may prove wisely spent. "This State has been badly treated b' the gang at Raleigh who were alike destitute of "gumption" and patriotism. While they were rolling up the expenses adding to the cost of government piling up burdens upon the people recklessly throw ing away the moneys of the toilers and seeking to roward their clamor ous, seedy, needy, hungry, desper ate henchmen, they forgot North Carolina forgot its resources and capabilities forgot its prestige and glory and renown, and refused to vote a dollar to send representations of onr products to tho great South rn Exhibit. It was meanly, shab bily, disgracefully done. "And now the uropect is that while North Carolina will bo there in part. Much of her products, of her wealth, of her resource will be unpresented. Her minerals and woods and farm products and fruits of her loom and plow and an vil anJ all should be there in the fine specimen suit. "Shall not the State show up among its boutuorn sisters in 'a Southern citv finite as well as she did in the great citv of Chicaj with the world as contestants and the nations as gazers and visistorsr" Surely there is euough pride of State left to induce the men of meane to contribute a fund sufficient to place North Carolina at the Gate City in her best attire, her most en- gaginff holiday clothes, with her children about her. Ixt it be d6ne Tho Old North State forever!" COTTON MOTHS ON THE WAY. OTDJr Moth li Sureadin? Toward the South Cotton is it? Favorite Diet- A Danger Hitherto Utenima'cd. Mr. F. B. Carpenter, of the Ag ricultural Experiment Station, re ceived a leUer from A. II. Kirk land, oi Maiden, Jlass. , which is full of important suggestions to every cotton planter in this State. Prof. Kirklaaid is entomologyst for the Gypsy Moth Commission, and is making some experiments to ascertain the different plants which will probably be attacked by the gypsy moth should it spread over the country, which seems highly proba ble from present indications. At the request of Prof. Kirkland. Mr. Carpenter recently shipped him some green cotton plants which were used in the experiments as food for the larvae. In the letter Professor Kirkland, said : "We find that one gypsy moth larva feeds on the cotton plants sent with great gusto. It not oulj de vours the leaves and petioles but also the bolls. "AVe have a list of some four hun dred plants on which tho larvae, will feed, and I am inclined to believe that should we be unable to hold them in check hi this State, and it should spread to the South it would provo a more formidable enemy to the cotton plant than any which vou now have." "The gvpsy moth," said Mr. Car penter, "was introduced into this country about the year 1808 by Mr. L. Trouvelot, now residing in Paris, France, but then living in Medford, Mass., where he attempted some ex periments in raising silk from our native silk worms, It is said that Mr. Trovtiot brought a cluster of gypsy moth eggs from Europe and, having opened the box, took out the eggs and laid them on the sill of an open window, when the wind blew them out and he was not able to find them. From tnis center the moths have now been distributed more or less abundantly in about thirty cities and towns in the east ern part of Massachusetts. "It was not until five or six years ago that the ravages of these insects began to be felt to any great extent, when the State Legislature seeing the great damage they would do should they spread over the State, established the Gypsy Moth Com mission for the purpose of holding them in check and to exterminate them if possible. Since the Com mission was established, the State has each year appropriated large sums of money for carrying on the work, and it is to be hoped that they may be successful, for if the insect should continue to spread no esti mate can be made of the amount of damage it would do; it is undoubted ly a worse enemy to vegetation than any we now have, feeding, as it does, on nearly any kind of green foliage that may come in its path, and if it finds an especially appetizing morsel in the cotton plant it would be par ticularly damaging to our Southern farmers, whose main crop is cotton.

Special Correspondence. Wasiii xhtux, July '2'. A living trip to New York and a friendly talk with a Tammany man and a County Democracy man con vinces mo that somebody is trying very hard to work up another "third term Cleveland'' loom. Re turning to Washington last night, I found that the Washington Post had copied a special telegram from the correspondent of the Charlotte Ouscrvcr to I he elleet et a s that Wad i Hampton had i 1 miliar "eat i out ot tiie bag litre. Wade Hamp ton is annoyed that he should have been the medium through which the secret leaked out and his repudi ation of the interview, eontinns the truth of the Observer's repoit in the following language. Ceueral Wade Hampton explains: "I believe 1 did say that if the different parties took to splitting up and a half doxen candidates took the field a lot of the conservative gold bug democrats would want to run Cleveland for a third term and that a big per cent among the Republi cans would heartily join them." This kind of a "denial" speaks for itself. I heard a great deal of this third term talk in New York City. 1 don't believe I i rover Cleveland instigated it. His garrulous and interested old friends and his bhrewd enemies are making the most of it. I know his itrerested old friends I mean fossil democrats who now hold sinecures worth thousands of dollars who will be out of a job as soon as there is a change in the Administration are doing all the talking ami Clevelands shrewd and more silent enemies are making the most of it! Cleveland has said to my knowledge he did not want a renomination and that Mrs. Cleveland did not want him to have it. Tammany and the County Demo cracy just now talk as if they favor ed the Candidacy of Hon. W. C. Whitney, lwo things 1 learned m New York with absolute certaintv First: no man who does not favor "sound money will receive the vote of N. Y. Second: the Empire State will not support Cleveland or any one else for a "third term." The precedent established by George Washington will not be broken, and if Wm. C. Whitney is the nominee of the party New York will spend i great deal of mouey to select him He is a safe financier. Moreover, tho ancient "race horses' of the democracy ought to remember that they will fare ;is well at Whitney's hands as they would at Clevelands Whitney was the cause of Clevelands renomination at Chicago. 1 believe ho is now Cleveland's choice for the Presidency. 1 he cost of collecting the income tax law was something in excess of $88,000.

Assistant Seere tary McAdoo saw it on a recent visit to that city and brought it back with him to Washington with a view of its purchase by the govern ment, as a companion piece to the portrait of Commodore Perry now m the Navy Department gallery. Ex-Congressman A. II. Williams is in the city. He says.N. C. is sol id for silver and would sooner vote for a Republican for President thau, a Democratic "gold bug." Senator Gorman's signal in Mary land places him well to the front for the Presidential candidate. Secretary Herbert left this city this afternoon on the Dolphin on a cruise of inspection from Newport News as far north as Mass. The Secretary will probably stop at Gray Gables to see the President. Marshall Carroll's salary has been raised to $0,00.). He has been al lowed two extra clerks. His son, Mr. J, C. Carroll will probably be made Chief Clerk at a salary of $1,500. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has just completed the longest tun nel in the world through which the trains between New York and the South run under the city of Balti more. This shortens the trip one hour. The tunnel is ventilated and is lit up with electricity so abun dantly that one is scarcely conscious of going under the ground. The oad deserves great credit for this magnificent piece of engineering skill.

Dabney to take charge and superintend the exhibits from the Agriculture De partment at Atlanta. In this work Mr. Tomliuson's salary will be al most double and the position is one of considerable trust and confidence. A second warrant has been issued for Benjamin H. Miliken for house breaking and assault upon Miss Gertrude Phillips. Judge Phillips says he will bring the man to trial at an' cost and that there never has been any understanding between himself and Miliken 's family that he would not urge prosecution. The authorities have sent out photo graphs and descriptions of Miliken to every large city so as to have him arrested if he can be found. It was reported today that Miliken sailed for Europe three days after the affair occurred, but his brother still says he will appear for trial when the time comes.

It was done under a republican administration in 1S73, when both senate and house were largely Re publican, and was done by stealth and surreptitiously, and was known in Fngland before it was in Amer ica. Who fought all attempts to restore it to its proper place?' The Republican party. President Hayes vetoed the Bland Allison bill, and the Democrats were strong enough, with western Republican votes, to pass it over his head in IS 7s. What party repealed the Bland Allison billi' The Republican party, by the assistance of John Sherman, who was still working for the English syndicate, and he substituted his infamous Sherman makeshift for it. and this was known in England before it was in America. What party or parties have steadi ly stood in the way of restoring silver !' A large majority of the Republi can party, and all of the mug wumps. What party or parties favored the repeal of the Sherman law without substituting proper legislation?' The Republican party and the mugwump party, the Democrats did what they could to restore it. w hat party or parties are now lighting silver on every hand? The Republican party and the mugwumps.

Atlanta Constitution. One Hea.'ou for a Seeuiinz Scarcity of Money. Several years ago. when farmers made nearly all cotton and almost no homo supplies, he bought large lots of goods on time from the mer chant, or borrowed the cash of his neighbor who made corn and meat to sell-(I never saw a man who made corn and meat to sell that did not have money to lend). Then more money was handled than now. Why?1 Then, we will say, the cot ton man borrowed $500; he handled that, and in the fall he sold cotton for cash and paid the debt: he han dled the amount again. The debt or that vear handled $1,000; now that same man makes his supplies and does not go m debt over $50 a vear for sugar, coffee, and a few things like that, he 'cant make on the fajni. He thus handles $50, when he borrows it ami $50 when he pays it back, making $100 han dled. In each case, if he pays out just even, or has no more, net, at the end of the year when he handles tl.oim than when he handles $100, then I can't see where the great good conies from handling tlic lar ger amount. Any sensible man can stop at a farm and tell from looking at the farmer's stock whether they are fed on bought corn or not. It does not generally fatten stock as well as home made. My father told me he never bought corn but one year, and then ho was hungry nearly all the time. Laborers in our town are as generally employed as at any time in several years. I think Mr. Hawley, one of our largest builders, tells me he can t get as many hands as he can employ. They are better paid than usual, lheycanget more of the comforts of life with these wages now than they could in the good old times we pine for. The Lord helps those who he'lps themselves; man kind also help those who work their six days in the week and try to take care of what they make. Rec ollect, this is now, and note is the only time we have. If we could put ourselves five years back, we could see what were our troubles then. But it is the sweet past now, and we can t see it. "Let us llien be up and doing, With heart for any fate, Still achieving, si ill pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait." If we sit around and abuse tho government we get little, but if we do all we can to better the times, the times will get better. I heard an old gentleman asked how the world served him, and he said it served him better than the people. On good collateral you can borrow all the money you need at six per cent. That look cheap to me. !. L. Gore in Robesonian. A Ni w Kailrnnd Move. Charlotte, X. C, July -A conference was held today between President K. C. Hoffman, Vice President E. St. John and Director D. A. Tompkins, of the Seaboard Air Line, and President S. B. Alexander and Directors W. C. Maxwell and J. L. Morehead, of the North Carolina railroad, with refer ence to the lease of tbe State road. The Seaboard people definitely statetl that they would bid for the lease, and asked that the lease be deferred for further consideration. The North Carolina road is now one of the important links in the South ern system. If the Southern Rail road company fails to get the State roatl, it can make a through connec tion over other roads it owns by building about forty miles of track and relay rails for about forty miles more on existing tracks.

There were no additions to the church, but the high order of preach ing gave the church some additional light, anil we hope moved it up on a higher plane of christian duty and spiritual knowledge. We had twelve young ladies visi ting friends about Bellair and join ing us in the meeting. Two young men were also visiting in onr midst, one from Urifton, the other from Burlington. We have not done much on the farms since the markets all got s full of cantclopes that furUicr ship ments would not pay. Some of us who had late cantelopes hardly got started to shipping before we had to stop. Corn and cotton are generally doing well and the young crop of corn is growing findy. The guano was not all washed out by the spring rains, but seems to be doing gootl to the corn which was planted after potatoes. The rutabaga and fall potato crop, will soon be planted: some plant last of July, anil early in August, but a. croj) planted the last week of August will generally ma ture a better crop than those planted last of July. A good way to start tiie eyes for the fall crop is to spread the pota toes til roe or four inches deep on a floor or the ground in the shade and spread wet sacks, or other rugs over them a week or ten days before planning, keeping the rugs wet every day, this has been tried and tlie potatoes sprouted rapidly under such treatment. When they are .started this way it is safer than to plant. So early, as the hot rains and scorching suns of August often kill the tender plants if they come up early in August. We rejoice to see a hole filled np in the road between Bellair and New Berne. It has been there, I J months and . no road muster has seemed to notice- it. There are others that need filling. Will other friends of the traveling public come to the rescue ami each lill up a hole m the absence of any roatl overseer. Swausboro Correspondence.

Fagan chief of the division. by the same order, is directed to have its work wound up. The abol ishing of the seed division will throw out of employment ten peo ple, besides the chief, at present, and will result 111 depriving fully iiionioreof occupation during tne busy season the winter months when it is customary to send out the bulk of the seeds.

On the Oil Exchange floor the best price was 1.30 7 l-2c below the j Standard purchasing agency price. There is a large crop of new wells due, and the drop in prices is taken as a criterion that Rome new field is about to be lapped.

If we can capture and boll .for forty-eight hours some large city in Cuba, and established there any sort of a Gov ernment, one at least, of the South Americans Governments will ac knowledge us. And, as soon as one South American State recognizes our standing, the entire continent will be solid for us. Once possessing belligerent rights we will get all the men and money we reouire.
