He Is Supported la bis Opinions by
Other Democratic Leaders The
Revenue Must Go.
From the Missouri Republican.
North Carolina Democrats are no
less eager than the Democrats of Vir-
ginia lor tne repeal or me xniernai
revenue taxes. lney compiain noi
only for relief from the tobacco tax,
but are quite anxious to get ria oi me
tax on spirits also, lion John .
Henderson, representative from the
Seventh North Carolina district,
one of the notably able men of the
house ad the acknowledged leader ol
the element on the Democratic side
which is so urgent in demanding the
outright repeal of the Internal Reve
nue taxes. Mr. Henderson was asked
to give a statement of his views to the
Republican, and in response sent the
following letter :
Salisbury, N . C, July 7, 1887.
Mr. C. W. Knapp, Washington, D.
C. : Dear Sir In response to your
letter of June 11th and 28th ult., I
submit the following brief statement
ot my views : .
z. 1 iavor the total and uncondi
tional repeal of the internal revenue
taxes. It this shall be found to be
impracticable, 1 shall support any
measure which will ameliorate tne
harshness of this odious and undemo
cratic sytem of taxation.
2. 1 am satisfied that the country is
ready for the absolute repeal of the
internal revenue taxes on tobacco.
This proposition, if singly, submitted
to the House of Representatives, in
my opinion, will pass by an overwhel
nung majority. The sense of the
house will also be tested next winter
on several other propositions relating
to the reformation of the internal
revenue system. The brandy taxes
should be abolished and the retail li
cense provisions should be eliminated
from the internal revenue laws. 1
shall introduce several bills having
ihe foregoing objects in view a soon
as Congress meets. A bill drafted by
me proposing "to modify the internal
revenue system of legislation" was in
troduced in the Forty-ninth Congress,
and the vote of the House was taken
thereon on March 4, 1887. The vote
stood: Yeas, 139: nays, 112. Two-
thirds not having voted in iavor there
of, the bill failed to pass.
3. I heartily iavor a reduction and
revision oi the tantt taxes. 1 his is a
very difficult problem to solve, there
being so many rival and conflicting
interests to be considered and har
monized. I ut the country expects
and demands that the Fiftieth congress
will solve the problem.
4. I do not think any material re
duction of taxation can be accom
plished if no reduction is to be allow'
ed except through the passage of a bill
proposing "an equal cut" of tariff and
internal revenue taxes. I would
cheerfully support such a bill, but I
believa every scheme of this sort to be
impracticable.
I think the only sure way of effect
ing a reduction of taxation is by sev
eral independent bills relating to the
subjects oi the tariff and internal rev
enue. Each of these subjects should
be separately considered. 1-u conced
ing a separate vote on th ;se questions
1 do not think any representative
needs to feel that he ia sacrificing a
principle. These questions should be
settled by the house of representatives
in accordance wun ine win oi me ma
jority, unrestrained by parliamentary
technicalities and hmderances.
It is possible that a caucus of Dem
ocrats might accomplish something by
conirring logemer ana ireeiy inter
changing views. I would be glad to
attend such a caucus, but I do not an
ticipate much practical good to be ac
complished thereby. The rank and
hie ot the party are all right. What
is wanted is united leadership.
1 he surplus in the treasury is a
grievous burden to the tax payer and
should no longer be permitted, it is
a fruitful source of extravagance and
corruption, and is an sil.which cries
aloud for a remedy. Very respect
fully, . Johf S. Hesdhrsox.
HOW OTHERS TUIXK OF IT.
Mr. Carlisle writes in advocacy of
immediate revenue reduction and the
reconciliation of differences of opinion
on a basis tn&t will afford immediate
relief. -
Mr. Brecken ridge of Kentucky
agrees in this view, and indorses the
plan proposed by us some time since
administration leadership and co-op
eration with the party in Uongress. :
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee advo
cates concessions and compromise by
repealing the tobacco tax and reduc
ing tariff taxes on the essentials of
lite. ' V
Mr. BreckenridVe of Arkansas
knows of no concessions that could be
mada except such as have been un
successfully offered in the past.
Mr. Cox of New York would by all
means cultivate tbe graces of a "oom-
promise" on a basis of equal reduction
of tariff and internal revenue taxes,
Mr. Wise of "Virginia is opposed to
tn3 internal revenue system, but would
oe "satisfied with an equal cut ot in
ternal and tariff taxes." .
Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania de
clares that he is not a protectionist
perse or a free trader per ie, calls for
the abolition oi the internal revenus
system and declares that reduction of
nr . i!.. li t
tne tann rate oi amies snouia oe a
matter for seperate and distinct

Tbtrd Annual Meeting of th Baptist
Orphanage. Tbe Trouble There
Wednesday.
Oarretpondence CkarMU Chronicle.
Thom as ville, July .27. The Bap
tist Orphanage Association beld its
third annual meeting here to-day.
An immense crowd was present; the
number being estimated at from five
to six thousand. The State at larg
was well represented. A program o:
addresses and sermons had been : pre
pared for the day, and exercises were
held at the harbor and the orphanage
chapel simultaneously. At 11 a. m.
there was a sermon by Rev. C. B.
Jmtice, and an address by Hon. J. C.
Scarborough At thejsame hour, in the
chapel there were sermons by Revs.
Dr. Royall and J. W. Wildman. At
the harbor at 3 p. m.. addresses were
delivered by J. K. Connally and Gov
ernor Scales, and in the chapel the
annual business meeting ot tbe associ
ation, took place.
Gov. Scales made a fine impression.
His address was earnest and powerful,
and was enthusiastically received by
the vast audience who listened to it.
The Association at its business
meeting this afternoon, passed some
important measures. Dr. J. 11. Huf-
ham, of Scotland JNeck, was elected as
travelling agent of the Association. A
report of the condition ot the Orphan
age was made, and showed that 58
children now have homes in the insti
tution. I here is room tor 14 more,
which will be filled by the fall months.
The total receipts of the Association
in contributions, Ac, during .the past
vear iust ended, amount to $5965, of
m , . 1 . 3?A 1
wmcn amount ine expenditures nave
been $5949. Instructions were given
for the speedy erection ot two new
buildings, tor which the funds have
been provided.
Ihe committee of examination re
ported that they had investigated the
condition ot the Orphanage, and round
it perfectly satisfactory in all details
the children healthy and well cared
for. -
The Association is - not yet quite
three years old, aud the rapidity ot its
development and successful operat
ion has surpassed all expectation. The
Erosperous condition of the enterprise
as been the theme of addresses and
conversation to-day, and '.he institu
tion seems indeed to be likely to furn
lsh a source of congratulation to its
projectors. Among prominent peo
ple present to-day were Prof. Hob
good, of Oxford ; Dr. John Mitchell,
of Bertie : Rev. C. E- Taylor, Presi
dent of Wake Forest College, Rev. J.
W. Gwaltney, ot Oreensboro : Kev.

An outrageous affair took place
place this evening which came near
terminating in serious trouble. At
the base ball grounds a match game
was being played and some seats had
been erected for ladies who wished to
watch the game. A crowd of negroes
came and took possession of these
seats before the white people arrived
on the ground. When the crowd col
lected some white met ordered the
negroes to vacate the seats, which
they did, threatening and cursing.
Later in the day, a negro named
Pete Holt was heard to say there was

ed oft in the direction ot the grove
near the depot whera he met a white
man, named Jones, a drummer, whom
he immediatelv becran to curse and
abuse and made at him with the club;
some one grabbed the club and took
it from him when he picked up a
large rock and threw it at Jones, mis
ing him and striking a horse that waa
standing near by. A policemau came
up at that moment and Holt turned
to run. He was followed by the po
lice and a number of vhite man,
many jeining in the chase as he ran
down the street, till theie were noarly

the woods and was soon out of sight.

Mr. Cleveland's Undoubted Honesty
and Courage have Made Htm Quite
Popular.
r From. Ue Skm York Herald.
Fresh and hearty from a six weeks'
rest in his daughter's house, at Rich
mond Hill, ex-Senator Allen G. Thur-
man arrived yesterday at the Fifth-
Avenue Hotel with his wifand grand
daughter. To-day he wirf eo back "to
his home in Ohio. Tbe distinguished
Democratic leader went to Richmond
Hill really to prevent his party from
dragging him into the fight for
the Governorship. A Herald reporter
visited Mr.' Thurman in his room last
night. He looked strong and happy
His stay among the green hills of Liong
Islaud had painted roses upon his
cheeks, acd his eyes were clear and
bright.
How do you like the nomination
made by the Ohio Convention to-day,
Mr. Thurman?"
"The nominee is a capable man, a
good speaker, and quite worthy of the
nomination. He will make a very
earnest and strong run. All three of
the candidates were good men and men
of standing in the State."
But the Republican papers here
sav that the candidates were all small-
fry politicians?"
that is not true, lhey are young
men, and ol course young men are
seldom as distinguished as the old
ones. But none of the candidates
were small fry. They were good men
indeed."
Mr. Thurman, do you think that
the resolution indorsing Mr. Cleveland
is a fair expression of the Democratic
opinion in Ohio ? -
l do. l think Mr. vieveland is
popular in Ohio. I think he is popu
lar throughout the country. .
To what do you attribute hu popu
larity?"
"ihe mans undoubted honesty and
his undoubted courage. The American
people like a brave man and an hon
est man. Everybody must admit that
Mr. Cleveland is both.
"You think that his Administration
has been successful ?"
He has done wonderfully well, and
has made very few blunders. Of course
he has made blunders, but, consider
ing his position, very few." ?
Do you think he is stronger now
than he was in 1884?"
"He is. I think there is very lit
tle opposition to his renomination for
the Presidency. He would be a hard
man to beat if he was renominated
"Suppose that Mr. Blaine was his
opponent. Do you think Mr. Cleve
land would be elected ?
I certainly think he would beat
Mr. Blaine again."
By a larger majority than before?
1 am not a prophet.
No, but what is your opinion from
the present outlook ?"
"I think he would be elected if he
ran against Mr. Blaine." -
' How about Mr. bherman 7
"He would beat Mr. Sherman. Mr.
Cleveland is the strongest man that
could bs nominated."
The strongest man in the Demo
cratic party ?" .
That is my judgment. But every
thing depends to a large extent on
how the labor vote will go in New
York State next year. The labor
men may run a Presidential candidate.
In such an event no man could predict
the result. It they are wise though
they won't do it. The labor party
may feel that it can do as tne aboli
tion party did go from small things
to greater. Its leaders may seek to
make it a balance of power party. If
it should be they hold the balance, it
would indoctrinate the old parties.
They would both bid for it."
"You think that a labor candidate
for the Presidency would draw a large
vdte in New York ?"
"Yes, and in Ohio too. The labor
vote is heavy in Cincinnati. It is a
question how a large labor vote might
affect the result in Ohio. 1 am satis
be 1 myself that the . labor vote is
friendly to the Democracy. It is quite
natural.
"One of the speakers in the Ohio
convention to-day said that the Dem
ocratic " party was thoroughly united
there, while the Republicans were at
war with each other. Does it look to
you that way, Mr. Thurman?
A GENEROUS MAN IN NEED.
A Life of Liberality Causes Poverty In
Old Age.
In 1861, Mr. J. M.Carter, cf Mis-
ouri, then a student at Chapel Hill.
xouno mmseii cut. on irom communi
cation with his father, out of money,
and turned away from his boarding
place because of his inability to pay
up. Mr. Jones Watson heard of it,
called the young man into his store
supplied his needs until he was grad
uated the following year, and did all
this at a time when he had but a pass
ing acquaintance with Mr. Carter.
Idoou. . after the close of 'the war- the
debt was paid, Mr. Carter married,
and with the practice of his profession,
law, and the cares ot bis family upon
him, he busied . himself, , thus losing
sight of the University and his bene
factor. Some time since he wrote to
a member of thefaculty and learned of
Mr. Watson b misfortune in his old,
and well-nigh last dajs. To this let
ter be replied in the following just
tribute to that benevolent man, which
we hope' the papers of the State will
publish, and to which we trust the
many old students aided by him in
their hour of need, will respond as Mr.
Carter suggests :
JNow as to my dear old triend,
Jones Watson. In the late troublous
times he stood next to my sainted fa
ther who died a short time after the
war. I have thought of Mr. Watson
frequently since I received your letter,
and it has grieved me very deeply to
learn that such a noble and benevolent
man should be reduced to the condi
tion in which he is. I remember the
many kind and noble deeds which he
performed amongst ine vuapei nui
students. I retain with the most affec
tionate remembrance the miraculously
kind deed which he perlermed in my
case, and which was unsought and un
suspected on r my part, and entirely
voluntary on bis. it seems to me now
as if it was miraculous that he should
have learned my condition, and that
it should have possessed his noble
heart to render me assistance, the val
ue of which was incalculable at tho
time. May God bless and sustain "this
noble man and benevolent Christian
in his old age. I believe that the Cha
pel Hill students whom he assisted ought
to contribute regularly sometning J or
his support not as a matter of charity
on their vart. but as a matter of that fil
ial duty and love which would actuate a
son in rendering assist mce to his father
under luce circivmstances. During the
last ten years I have often thought of
Jones Watson, and have had fore
bodings that his magnanimity and
charitable acts through his 1 ong life
would result in his coming to want in
his old days. I blame myself that I
have not inquired about him sooner.
Although I have a young and help
less family, I could and would have
assisted him cheerfully at intervals,
fuid in the same sense in which I
would have assisted my own father un
der similar circumstances.
Mr. Carter concludes by promising a
contribution at an early day. Speak
ing of the letter, one of the Professors
said : "Mr. Carter is right. His case
is only one of a thousand, and these
men ought to know the facts, and act
upon the suggestion to come to Mr,
Watson s relief. He is not only him
self an invalid, but has an invalid
daughter." We suggest that contri
buttons for Mr. Watson be sent to
Rev. A. W. Mangum, Chapel Hill, N.
C, who will acknowledge the receipts
ot the same, and turn the amount over
to Mr. Watson.

read that they were at war, but it is
hard to tell. Ihe Republicans must
carry Ohio or they are gone. - It is ab
solutely necessary to them. Hat J
can say little about the present situa
tion in Ohio. I have not been in the
State for two months. In fact I am
out if politics forever." -" -
' -Whv. Mr. Thurman. ther are say
ing that you . will lead the.- national
party next year and be a candidate?"
"Nensense. 1 will never run for a
political , office again. I am only
poor old ghost wandering along the
banks of the Stvx and waitinsr for old
Charon to come over in his boat for

He Will Not Admit the Heresy.
It is one thing to return to the pres
ent condition ct things to be true to
our pledges, to the Union and to the

in.. .
we owe, and an mat pertains to it is
our duty, to perform, to perform it
steadfastly, honestly, keeping in view
the well being of the whole country
without regard to tbe section or sec
tional lines, liut, my brother, you
are not in the wrong, and whenever I
admit we are wrong may God blast
me where I stand. Great applause.
That is not necessary. There is no
need to say you were m the wrong, no
one wants you to say it. He is a cow
ard who would ask it. Loyalty to the
Union does not require it, patriotism
does not demand it, there is not a sin
gle suggestion of citizenship or duty
that will tolerate it. Gov. Gordon's

A distinguished company of editors
boarded the train at Salisbury on
their way to the annual meeting of the
Press Association, which met in Hend
ersonville the following day. Many
looked tired and oppressed by heat,
some had been compelled to come
through Weldon and all seemed de
termined to enjoy- their holiday to
the utmost. ot even the swift
motion of the train would gather a
breeze sufficient to make the passen
gers comfortable till we reached Mor-
ganton, where a stifi mountain breeze,
tbe harbinger of a rain storm which
met us later, cooled our sweating brow
and composed us to enjoy the ascent
to tbe Land ot the feky.
ooon mountains began to appear on

zens met us at the depot and extend
ed to us the hospitality ot Henderson
vine.
After a refreshing night's sleep, we
arose to admire this Pearl of mountain
towns, as Henderson ville has been fit
ly termed. Guarded on every side by
giant mountain buttresses, the town
lies on a lovely plateau rising with
gentle giadation from the French
Broad to the Blue Ridge. ijike the
Happy Valley of Rasselae, it seems a
retreat where all care is forgotten, and
as it to prtvent the escape ol any to
whom the joys ot theelysiurn have be
come distasteful, heaven s blue cano
py appears to rest upon the peaks
which tower aloft in majesty. Ihe
best view of the country can be had
from Maj. Pickeu's tower
Henderson ville has 1,200 inhabi
tants, and in summer twice this nunr-
ber. On every hillside may be seen
handsome residences of wealthy North
Carolinians. Flat Rock, three miles
South of Hendersonville is one of the
most beautiful spots in the mountains.
Gentlemen from Charleston aud other
southern cities spend their summer
here.
The soil is a natural filter of gravel
and micaceous sand, is quickly dried
and is in marked contrast to the red
sand of Buncombe and other neigh
boring counties. It is especially
adapted to the raising ot grasses. 1 he
"Orchard," "Red-Top," and "Timo
thy" grow here to perfection. Some
of the finest wheat, rye, oats, potatoes,
corn, beet-cattle, hogs and sheep are
raised on the mountain lands ot Hen
derson county. But especially and
preeminently is it a county fitted by
nature for cattle raising, fruit and
cabbage.

With such beautnui scenery, sucn
a delightful climate, and its many
natural advantages, it is unsurpassed

To the Editor of The State : A par
agraph in one . of your recent issues,
detailing some particulars of Poe's
life, shows that people feel a credit
able interest in all that concerns this
brilliant and erratic genius. 1 was a
medical student in Philadelphia while
Poe had charge of Graham's Maga
zine, and met him very often. My
roommate was W. R. Mills, of your
city, and there seemed to have been a
long-standing friendship between the
two. This connection prpcured me
tne pleasure of seeing him at our own
room and in his dingy editorial den
in Third street. He seemed to be
living a careless, idle life, and I re
member on one occasion, when we
were with him, the proprietor stepped
in, and alter some good-humored
chaffing, reminded Poe that issue day
was near and the coming number was
not in a iorward state, uut the mag
azine never failed of its day, and nev
er failed ot the editorial contribution,
strong, argumentative, logical, or
graceful, poetical and musical. He
seemed to have been endowed with a
vitality that knew no flagging, for re
turning with my room-mate, after
their round of evening amusements, he
would harangue with astonishing vol
ubility and eloquence, until day light
leminded him of his work in Third
street. With one htle incident I am
done. We called at his elevated den
one drizzly 'evening, and found him
busily writing. He scarcely noticed
us. Others dropped in and we chat
ted and walked about, while his
scratching pen raced over the sheets.
His absorption seemed complete, when i
a little bedraggled girl, with pinched, j
hungry lace, glided noiselessly up to
the table and touched his arm. This
silent magnetic appeal met with in
stant recognition. He gazed at her
with infinite tenderness, repeating iu
a fubdued tone, "My poor little Mag
gie ! poor child ! you have done little
trading this bad day." Then turning
with troubled look to his friend, he
said: "Mills, can't you find a 'levy'
for the child." Mills' generous heart
needed no appeal in such cases; small
coins came in from all sides and Mag
gie took her weazea face out of the
room all aglow with grateful emotion.
1 noticed that the little tramp leit her
basket of commodities under Poe's
table, and felt little doubt that I had
detected the silent partner in the con

Hon John L. Barbour is to be add'
ed to the list of prominent Democrats
who have given positive contradiction
to Jalse reports of their dissatisfaction
with ths administration. He says : "I
am tbe triend ot tne Jf resident. 1 am
satisfied with his policy, and in my
opinion the South stands at bis back
to renominate him for another four
years. .You can make my denial of
the reports of my unfriendliness as
strong as possible.", The distinguish
ed and . commanding position held by
Mr. Barbour in the Democratic party
of Virginia adds to the importance of
this emphatic declaration.

for many a day a warm spot for Hen

We were aroused early one morn
ing to start for for the Boylston gold

ville. After some arranging, the line

very original and puns prim enough
to appear in next weeks paper were
gotten off, but ere long chestnuts old
enough to have grown with Adam in
the Garden ot Hiden, were shaaen on
us, and if we had not reached our des
tination there's no telling what might
have resulted. Through the courtesy
of Mr. Benj. G. Gaden, who hand
somely entertained the convention, we
were shown through the mine. The

tracting the ore and many other

working to establish the fact that it is
a paying industry. A man of wide
experience in tne mining world in
California, the Black Hills and Colo

the richest country . in the world.
Though' using little machinery, he
turns out about twelve pounds of gold
per month, worth $150 per pound,
and pays out $1200 during the same
time for labor. With capital to de

"He touched nothing that he did
not adorn" is a hackneyed phrase, but
it applies so truthfully to Thackeray
that one is justified in repeating it.
The great novelist could not have been
commonplace if he had tried : every
thing in his hands took on grace and
humor. Here, for example, is a "rec
ommendation" written for one Joseph,
a servant, and now first published by
courtesy of its owner, a New Yorker
of literary taste.
Haying, during a period of three
daysvhad many opportunities ot stu
dying tne character ot Josepn, the un
dersigned has great pleasure in recom
mending him to the traveling nobility
and gentry of the British nation.
Joseph is active in body, gentleman
like in manner, in the execution of
commissions he is rapid, dexterous and
faithful ; he has many agreeable social
qualities and will often amuse the sol
itary tourist by appropriate anecdotes,
which he will recite over a glass "of
beer or wine at tt:e coffee house, or
will introduce as he conducts his client
through the city; he is in a word ev
erything that a valet le phu-e should
be conscientious yet not squeamish,
modest, willing, sober and discreef.
Furthermore it may be stated that
he has a wife an J six children ; and
though these latter qualifications are
such as he possesses in common with
many other persons of far less merit,
yet they are stated here, because, for
the prayers of Meritorious Poverty
British Benevolence has always a
kindly ear ; and because the stranger,
in exercising his generosity toward
Joseph, may have the satisfaction of
thinking that he benefits at the same
moment six little innocent invisible
Josephs, whose daily dinner depends
upou the exertions of their father."
