From all that hua been said in re lation to Atlanta, and concerning the magnificent conntry of which she is the natural commercial center it ought to bo plain to the reader that she has a very good excuse to offer, if any excuBO were necessary, for undertaking an enterprise of 8Uch magnitude and importance as the Cotton States and International Exposition. 11 tne impression prevails any where in the vast territory covered by the circulation of Tho Chicago Herald that Atlanta's exposition of 1S95 is to be southern, or merely an American affair, that impression will bo verv speedily dissipated. It is going to be an exposition that will rank among the great expositions 01 the United States, second only in importance, in scope and character to the orld s Columbian reposi tion of 1893. It will outrank in many important particulars Vie Centennial Exposition in 1STC. This Beems very mu;h like a hazardous prophecy, but unless something happens to change the entire plan upon which the enterprise is at pres ent projected it will be fulfilled. The United States have a great deal more to exhibit, as the result of national progress, than they had in 1876. , At that time some of tho grandest states in the union were paralyzed. Many of them were un der (military rule, and some of them were writhing beneath carpet-bag usurpation. The United States were united Btates only in name. Some of the greatest nations of the earth, it is true, contributed toward the suc cess of the Centennial. Had they not done so it would have proved a most dismal failure. The smaller nations were not represented as they were at the world's fair. The South American republics made but a poor display. The period between 187G ana 1834 has been one of the bright est, of the nineteenth century, the most prolific in invention and the most wonderful in industrial devel opment. Without any aid from abroad tne United states would De able to make an exhibit of the arts, sciences, "manufactures, industries and products of the soil and sea to-day surperior to any internation al display that could have been made a quarter of a century ago. Chicago Herald. . MAI HATE TO FIGHT JAPAN. Tbe Uaittd SUte May Fiod herself Engaged In an Eeastetn War. In tho event of war between Russia and Japan, the United States may find itself an unwilling party unless the Japanese retreat from a position which they assumed to wards the United States during the progress of the last war with China. It is not generally known that just before the declaration 01 the armistice, which preceded the signa ture of the treaties of pes.ee, an issue had grown np -between the United States and Japan that threatens to lead to actual hostilities between the two countries and that a hostile clash was perhaps only avoided by the conclusion of the Chinese war. This issue arose through assertion by the Japanese, authorities of the right of search of American vessels. They insisted that they had the right to board an American vessel, and, if they chose, to take from her any Chinese or any enemy they might find, even though they were but passengers. Minister Dun very promptly- denied the existence of any such right on the part of a com batant and a hot correspondence ensued. The Japanese insisted on their rights and even when Mr. Dun reminded .them that tbe United States had gone to war with Great Britain on just this issue and had foroed the abandonment of any claim to Bitch a right, they refused to abate their pretensions one jot, though the minister intimated that the first assertion of such a right would be regarded by the United States as an unfriendly act and, therefore, likely to lead to war. . The matter progressed to that perilous state that when Admiral Carpenter, was about to escort an American merchant steamship of a Japanese port to prevent detention by the Japanese, the ter, it is said, gave orders to shore batteries at the mouth of out her the harbor to fire upon the American vessels if they attempted to ' depart. This fact came out after the conclu sion of the armistice, which for tunately occurred at just this point in the negotiations, thereby prevent ing an incident that would certainly have led to war, but the significant Soint is, that since that time the apanese have steadily clung to the same contention, promising serious trouble in the event of another war in the east. Make oar Own Catsup. As the season for catsup making is here and tomatoes are tine, abun dant and cheap the following re ceipt from an exchange will doubt less be found timely by many house wives: 'Tomato catsup is a favorite rel ish.

I had never made an investiga tion in regard to the Book of Mor mon, but had taken for granted that it was a more or less palpable fraud, when one day one of my par ishioners in Hartford county, Md., an intelligent and interesting old eentleman, Mr. James Jeffrey, in the course of the story of his ex perience during the early days of the city of Sf.. Ixuiis told me something in regard to it. He had been in business in that city, and had dealt with the Mor mons a eood deal winle tliey were still located in Illinois. He said that Sidney Rigdon, who had been tho right-hand man of "Joseph Smith at the inception of Mormonism, and for a considerable period thereafter, was accustomed to spend many hours at Mr. Jeffrey's place of buinese, chatting with him, after Kigdon s rupture with smith In the course of these talks, Rigdon told Mr. Jeffrey the origin of the Book of Mormon. He said lie had been a printer in thr office of itobert rattersou. in Pitssburg, and that while working there an old Presbyterian minister, Rev. Solomon bpaulding, from Washington county, Pa . had brought to the office the MS. of 1 ng storv which he desired to have examined with a view to publication. This MS. fell into uigdon s hands and when he and Smith began to connect the idea of founding a re ligion he purloined the MS. with : view to its future usefulness in the manufacture of the revelation which they proposed to spring upon their followers. It was from this MS. the Book ofMormon was dictated (with additions and variations) when Kig don and Smith, sheltered behind t screen, pretended to be deciphering tne incriptrons on tne goiaen gates, to the discovery of which Smith claimed to have been guided by an angel. After his abandonment of the religion which he helped impose upon some ignorant people, Rigdon did not hesitate to tell the story of the fraud. At any rate he told it to one man. I paid no special attention to the narrative at the time, beyond being interested in it, and remem being it. I took it for granted that while the account was new to me it was familiar to other people. I thought it probable that my parish ioner had related the story to many and that it had gone abroad. But in this 1 was mistaken; and 1 was possession of a piece of iuforma tion which was the very thing, some investigators were looking for. Shortly afterwards I was in Pitts at the house pf Mr. Isaac Craig, who is well known as a local historian, who presented me with a copy of pamphlet by Mr. Patterson, one of the proprietors of the Presbyterian Banner, aud a son of the publisher from whose establishment the Spaulding MS. had so mysteriously disappeared. Reading the pam phlet on the cars, on the way east ward, I learned that the resemblance between the story of Spaulding and the Book of Mormon had been dis covered at -once on the publication of the latter book, His neighbors to whom the author had been ac customed to read his chapters as he wrote them, declared the books iden tical in parts. It was remembered that Rigdon had been a workman in the Patterson printing office, and he was suspected of the theft of the lost MS. While all this was moral ly certain, the pamphlet declared that there was a missing link of positive evidence. At this point in my reading I began to wake up to the fact that I was in a position to supply that missing link. Having arrived in Maryland, I wrote back to fittsourg m regard to the matter, and speedily received a mes sage urging me to get the affidavit of Mr. Jeffrey at once, as I had sta ted he was an old man. and it was feared that delayed might imperil the taking if tho desired testimony. Without delav I took a friend with me as a witness and went to the home of Mr. Jeffrey, who dictated to me a full statement of what liig- don had told him. He then read over carefully what had been dicta ted, made a few corrections, and signed the paper, which waa also signed by three witnesses. This paper was then forwarded to Mr. Patterson, of the Presbyterian Ban ner, of Pittsburg, Pa., in whose possession the document slWV is. Thus we had proof positive in re gard to the theft' of the Spaulding MS. from his father's office. Thus the missing link in regard to the origin of the Book of Mormon was supplied. Rev.

Itfd 1 hem Almost Ihe Same Way as Sweet Po'atoes Till They Sprout Every Eye lh&t Starts Cau be De ludei 1'iton Full Direction (i?) I especially want vour valued information ou the best method for planting and cultivating fall ,-rop of Irish potatoes. 1 planted ami have now maturing rome six acres of re to ue est plan for produ. ing a crop Potatoes. Many object o f fail the )C3. but perfect trouble of l.eiMmg the potat' 1 nave never oL'tameu a stand in any other way, and ti difference in the number of heaitl ic hv plants pays for the trouble: Dig the spring planted potatoes in the early morning or iate afternoon, and don't allow them to lie m tln suu. Spread in a cool, shaded p.ace. that thev may become thoroughly dried. As soon as dry. wni'.ii :n bright weather, wili be m a few days, select the smooth, medium size potatoes, not the very large or very small ones, and by all means not the uneven, knotty ones. Place these in a layer, not touching each other, in a moist and rather shaded piece of land, and cover lightly (two or three inches is sufficient . ) and if a mulch can be spread nvi-r the sur face, so much the better. If the season is very dry. water the bed, which is very much like a sweet po tato bed made ready to produce slips, except that no manure is used and the bed is level. When the potatoes begin to sprout, take them up, and every potato which has sprouted can be depended upon to produce a plant. Those which have not sprouted cau be put one side and are still good for table use. If the land was highly enriched for the spring crop, no further fer tilization is necessary. We have had better success by this plan, but if fertilizer ,is needed, it is better to apply ami work well into the soil previous to planting. Thoroughly decomposed stable manure mav be used, but should "not come in con tact with the potato. If commercial fertilizer is used, select that in which potash predaminates. These may be applied in the drill, but must be thoroughly worked into the soil by running the plow two or even three times in the same furrow. Open the furrows broad and deep, about 2 1-2 or 3 feet a part. Plant the sprouted potatoes, uncut, in the bottom of the furrow, about 1'2 or 15 inches apart, and cover, firming the soil over the potatoes. After the plants come up, gradually fill up tne furrow during cultivation, leaving it level at the last plowing. Of course they should be kept free from grass or weeds. Dig before the cold entirely destroys the vines. This plan is for field culture. If for the smaller garden plat, fill the furrow within 2 or :? inches of the top when the potatoes are planted, and cover t he whole lied with pine straw, or any other mulch win will conserve . moisture and keep down weeds and grass. We have eaten potatoes all the winter freshly dug from our garden by mnlciun heavily before the cold weather set in, If preferred, thev can be dug and saved in banks just as for sweet potatoes, and with much more cer tainty. Opening of the w Hirer Inu, from the Jacksonville limes we take the following account of the throwing open of the doors of the New River Inn to guests; No enterprise of late years in thi eounty has attracted the attention of the public to the same extent as has the formation and development of the Atlantic & New River-Home Co., in the construction of the New River Inn on theBanks of the Atlan tic ocean at the mouth of New River One of the most neat, convenient and desirable hotels on the Atlantic coast, and a resort where health. comfort and pleasure can be had at a price that barely covers the cost of the preparation of the food consum ed by its guests. . The Company recognizing the fact that a hotel possessed of such superior advantages would be in complete unless placed under the management of those who were fit ted by nature and training to' dis pense hospitality commensurate with the surroundings, exhibited unusual perspicuity in selecting Messrs. E. M. Koonce & Co. to do the honors, and we have no hesita tion in saying that under their able management a brilliant and pros perous career is bound to be the fortune of the New River Inn. Although no announcement of an opening had been made, last Satur day night saw Hie hotel well filled with a large number of guests, who as they promenaded the broad, spacious and brilliantly lighted piazzas, made it a scene long to be remembered as one of the most brilliant events ever witnessed in Onslow county. The guests had no words but of praise for the hotel, beach and management and all expressed themselves as being in the future regular patrons of the New' River Inn.

Aug. 13th is the opening day. The great event of the week is tke address by Congressman Sibley, the great Pennsylvania advocate of silver. Mr. Sibloy cancelled an en gagement in New York in order to accept this invitation to address the 1 nrth Carolina Alliancemen. The News and bsercr speaks thus of Mr. Siblev : Sibley is one of the unique char acters in American politics. He is the only man ever elected to Con gress from a district in which he did not reside; lie was once a Republican but for quite a while has been a De mocrat: he isa multi-millionaire. but doesn't own a bond in the world; lie uas never taken interest for money loaned.; he gives all iiis employees a yearly vacation with full pay, and has never had a strike among them. lie is a foicible speaker, and light up his speeches wit!; lurid periods.

Vour scrip maker was on a little tour last week taking in the news, crop items, fruit, melons, milk and butter items, Ac, from Swansboro to Jacksonville, via Queen's Creek,'' Biown Sound, New River, &c, &c. This occasion was tirst Monday meeting, and there is. always a large crowd ;here on first Mondays, com missioners and magistrates meeting, public speaking and political talk. Mr. J H. Foy opened with a big hi-metalic speech of an hour and a half, followed at intervals by J. W. Spiuer, Frank Thompson and Dr. C. Thompson. S ncer wanted a bi-me-tallic league formed in Onslow right away, and appointed first Monday in September next, to meet there to see w hat could be done. Foy seemed to agree with Spieer in most everything but called himself a Democrat right through. Spi'-er didn't say what he was, only he was a solid free silver man, and would suffer his right arm taken off before he would vote for a gold standard man for office. Frank Thompson said he- was a simon-pure Democrat, but opposed to the gold standard, was in favor of iree silver ana claimed that was Democratic doctrine, and that the Democrats were the author of the free silver doctrine, and while he ad vocated co-operation all through, he was not in favor of fusing with the Pops or Reps but was very willing for them to fuse with Ins party and thought it best they should doso,all who were in favor of a bi-metalic standard of currency especially. Dr. Thompson is a straight-out Populist, and made a good Populist speech. He is a smart man. one of, if not the best informed men in our county, and many adjoining coun ties, lie predicts success in the next campaign, and says thousands of people are joining the Populist every day. No one replied to him. Politics seems to be raging in On slow this year very soon. The Town Point place on New river, owned hv'Mr. Mclntvre of New York, we believe, is something worth looking at in its improved state. He is the originator of the well known "Glenoe Stock Farm,'' and the stock of horses, mules, cat tle, hogs, Ac., are very near com plete. Every grade of animals have their sections to roam in to them selves, houses, lots, roads, weils and shutters, all separated by fences made of plank and wire; streets laid off like a town and an overseer or section man for every piece of work and nice houses for them to live in. One of the best things we saw was 4d0 Pekm clucks and deer in. one lot. The lot was about ' acres hi and extended from the main houses to the river and some distance in the river. The dwelling houses are all of the latest improved style, that of Mr. Mclntvre s is a perfect model of beauty. Mr. Sol. Gornto is the same genial old gentleman; has a good crop of corn, peas, potatoes and fruit, but the most curious crop he has, is an artichoke crop; something we never saw before; he is raising them for his hogs. Mr. Gornto makes tur pentine, but no cotton. Messrs. A. II. Slocumb & Co., of Lynwood are doing a big business in merchandising and buvmg and sell ing turpentine. The large Sharpie "Bessie, Capt. h. Scwell, is busy all the time going and coming from New Berne with naval stores and goods. Mr. E. S. Smith and Marine & Bro., at Marines are doing a large business in merchandising buying and shipping hsh, clams and oysters, (in season). They are also milling and turpentine dealers and dig tillers. Lots of young men left this conn ty last Monday for Florida to engage in the fishing business at 1'unta Gorda, among them our boy D. G Ward, Jr., Messrs Charlie and .Ed gar Morton, Ed Stanly, John Riggs and others. They left Swansboro or-Mofehead City where they will take the train for Fla.

It was not bv the Act of 'oiigrcrs of February li. l?:i, which John Sherman and Hooper, of .Massachu setts, smuggled through 'nnrress. and which Grant signed rhi;t knowing what he was doing. That was a shabby trick, unworthy of statesmen; but its effect was only to stop the coinage of the silver dollar. It did not declare the millions winch were then in the hands of the people to be no longer a legal tender. But demonetization was accomplished the same year or early in the next, by the men who had been appointed to revise the statutes at large throw out such as had been repealed, or which had been executed, and were no longer operative. These men took an oath to put nothing into the revised statutes, which was not in the statutes at large, which had been passed from year to year; and they were directed to put into the mar gin of every page of the rcvisal a note, referring to the original vol ume, page, and date of the act whicn they were copying. The commissioners made their re port to the Secretary of State, and, the Secretary turned it over to Con gress. It (the revisal) was referred to committees in the two Houses. In the House of Representatives, Messrs Poland, of Vermont, and Gen. B. F, Butler, of Massachusetts, who were on the committee to examine the revisal, declared their belief that there was not a word in it which had not been taken from the statutes at large. Tbe revisers had given them this assurance, and they doubt less believed what ' was told them. But when the book of more than a thousand pages was printed, it con tained the following section, to which no marginal reference, show ing its origin was annexed: 'Sec. 35SG. The silver coins of the United States shall he a legal tender at their nominal value-, for any amount not exceeding five dol lars in anyone payment." J ust above this section stood the section, :5rS5, making gold coins a legal tender for any amount, huge 01 small. There was nothing like this sec tion in the Statutes at Large: and it was for this reason that, unlike every other section in the book. there is no reference to the original Act fim which it should have been tak en. Mr. Busbeo, who takes a Inely interest in the subject, doubtless has the edition of the revisal of 1.1 :-T -i. and can exhibit to any doubting Thomas demonstrative proof of this statement. It is nothing less than forgery, accompanied by perjury. Mr. Beck, the honorable Senator from Kentucky, denounced it as such. Mr. Logan called on Mr. Sherman to say how the interpola tion crept in. Mr. Sherman could not tell. I have not been able tnus far, to ascertain which of severa! revisers, at different times, had charge of the work when it was turned over to Congress in the win ter of 18?:-?4. But, no matter who, he was a forger and a perjurer. An omission of a section in the Statutes at Large might have been an acid dent, but the deliberate insertion of a clause which was not to be found in those statutes could only have come about by forgery and perjury. And this fact should be constantly thrust in the teeth of every fellow, whatever his pretention, who has the effrontery to talk about gold as the only "honest money."' Daniel R. Goodloe, in News & Observer. Auxiliaries of the Society of Religions Education. AsiiKvii.hK, N. ('., Aug. 12. An auxiliary of the Society Religious Education has been organized for the purpose of carrying on the work of the Southern Biblical assembly until next summer, Bible classes and unions of the systematic study of the Bible will be formed and Bible lec tures will be established. It is pro posed to establish auxiliaries in the leading cities and towns for like purpose, with the Astieviue summer assembly as the center. At the meeting yesterday after noon in the rirst isaptist cimrcti Dr. Gilbert, secretary of the socity, Rev. R. G. Pearson and Dr. II. O. White made stiring speeches on the good of the assembly in awaking American Prptestaut churches to see the heed of the "Bible in the home. Dr. Pearson 'predicted a great move ment in the South from the assem bly in promoting better and system atic methods of Bible study. The assembly would become the South ern Chautauqua. Dr. White said the teachers and the society were orthodox, which suits the South. The society is the best guide for the itudy of the Bible. Dr. Gilbert made a spietidul talk on 't lie oioect- of the society and the rapidity of iu growth. SUIT FOR DAMAGES. Instituted by State Senator Ch'plcy AgaiDSt the Times Newspaper ot Pen sacola, Fla.
