The Post to-day says: According lo a atoary which has reached Chicago via Washington, the terriWa holocaust which wiped out over one hundred lives at ths French cap ital on May 4, was the work of anar chists thirsting for revenge on the up per classes of France. It Is claimed that while the official inquiry into tbe cir cumstances surrounding the terrible catastrophe threw little light on the cause of the Are, the secret service de partment Is working on a dew that points to an anarchistic conspiracy of stupendous magnitude. It is said that tbe Paris detectives have not only sat isfied themselves that anarchists were at the bottom of the awful crime, but that the leaders who planned it fled to America as soon as they had see nwith what frightful success it had been exe cuted. It is also said that several per sons are under suspicion of knowing more about It than they care to tell. A member of the French legation at Washington is said to be authority for the story. Mo laformattea Olvsa Oat at the IVaaefc Washington. June 24. The official of the French embassy here refuse to lm uart information concerning any Connec tion that the anarchists may have had with the fire in May. M. LeFalvere, tbe first secretary of the embassy, said to-night that there had been no effort made to capturethe leaders, who, it is said, have fled to America. This, he thinks, would not have been the case if it had been believed that such persons were engaged in the affair, and had come to this country. M. LeFalvere was in Paris at the time of the disaster and remained there for several days. Immediately afterwards there were In timations In some of the newspapers charging the catastrophe to an anar chistic source, but such charges soon ceased. Louis O'Shaner had a foot cut off by a Southern train at Lynchburg yesterday. LOCAL WKATHJCB KCrOBT. S. L. Dob her. Observer. Charlotte, June 24, 1897 ; 8 p. m. Barom. 1 Temp. Weather.

Korehead City, Jane 21 In the &b ksc of President Poteat, who was obliged to leave this morning to at tend the opening of the summer school at Wake Forest College, Vice-President Madison, of Callowhee High School, presided. The session was opened by a Bhort, earnest prayer by Dr. T. E. Skinner, ot Raleigh, after which the general bust seas of the day was taken up. Prof. E. E. Britton, of Monroe, stated that three years ago this Aasemblyap pointcd a committee of three, consist ing of himself. Prof. J. T. Joyner, and Prof. Logan I. Ilowell, on the Vance Memorial Association. The committee reported no progress and no work done, and now desire permission from the Assembly to change the name of the committee to the Vance Industrial School Association, and that a school be established instead of using the funds raised for the erection of a mon ument. He then read an extract from an address delivered at the commence ment exercises of the Monroe High School by Mr. Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte, in which an appeal was made to the people of North Carolina to erect not a cold shaft of marble, but a live and effective industrial school to the memory of tbe great Vance. Mr. Britton.. as chairman of the commit tee, will shortly prepare an address to the pupils of the schools of the State, and will ask them to organise Vance leagues and to say whether the funds raised shall be used for a monument or for the erection of an industrial school. Mr. Heriot Clarkson has authorized Mr. Britton to subscribe for him the amount of $200 as the nrst contribu tion. Prof. F. P. Hobgood moved that this committee be continued until next ses sion and then make report of progress This motion was seconded by Prof. E P. Mangum and prevailed. Secretary C. J. Parker then called the attention of the Assembly to the action taken at the meeting at Ashe ville last year in regard to the fact that the minutes of the secretary be read and approved by the Assembly. An auditing committee, consisting of State Superintendent C. H. Mebane and Prof. Hugh Morson, had examined the ac counts and reported them correct. It was also recommended at the .she ville meeting that the salary of ..ie secretary and treasurer should be fixed, the sum not being less than 25 per cent of the gross receipts of the Assembly, and that the secretary be required to give bond. The bond had been duly and properly executed, and was ready. Superintendent E. S. Sheppe, of Reids ville, moved that the report of the auditing committee be reaa and that the itemized report of the secretary and treasurer be printed. This motion pre vailed. Prof. Britton moved that the matter of salary of the secretary and treasurer be referred to the present ex ecutive committee and that that com mittee report as early as practicable. The next general business before the Assembly was In the form of informa tion regarding the sale of the Assembly building at Morehead. It was deemed advisable at the meeting of the Assem bly at Asheville last year, in view of certain Judgments and debts against the property of the Assembly, to offer it for sale, and it was so ordered. The principal, interest and costs of these judgments amonted to nearly $2,000 and the property was advertised for sale under execution on July 6. 1896. None of the Assembly title papers were re corded. They did not even have a deed from the Hotel Company for the lot- A compromise of the judgments was ar ranged whereby the building, furniture and lots should be sold and even if the property did not bring the amounts due on said judgments, that the Assembly should nevertheless be released from all further liability. Pursuant to the terms of the compromise the property was sold at auction on September 8, 1896, for 11.050. As the matter now stands the Assem bly is relieved from suits and Judg ments and still owns two lots In More head City. The Assembly is to be congratulated that all financial difficulties are now adjusted and that it is free from debt. The Assembly "building is placed at the disposal of the Assembly, rent free, in which to hold its sessions whenever the Assembly shall meet in Morehead. This is through the courtesy of the purchasers of the property. There being no further general busi ness the programme for the day was taken up. The first subject discussed was: "Economy of Time in Teaching, and a Consequent Enrichment of the School Course." Superintendent J. I. Foust, of Goldsboro public schools. The paper was a most excellent one and showed deep thought and research. It was well received. Mr. Foust spoke in part as follows: "Probably no subject is of more im portance or Intense interest at this time than that of broadening and enr'"hing our school course without det lment. Teachers are everywhere beginning to recognize how narrow is the scope of work done by our schools and how In adequate to the needs of the age in which we live. The schools should give back to the State the children as citi zens ready for the grave duties devolv ing upon Americans, with a knowledge of American life and sympathy for American civilization and American in stitutions, and yet this is seldom true. "The question is asked: 'Can we ac complish what is essentially necessary and at the same time add others to our course of study?- I believe that by proper planning and arrangement we can. "Our text-books are not well classi fied, and we need better correlation of studies. Now while it is true that there are many studies with which it might be desirable to enrifh our courses of studv, I shall content myself with men tioning only two; elementarv science such as nature study: elementary physics and chemistry, and civics, or civil government. These things can be accomplished only by making our pu pils acquainted with some of the under lying principles of government. Not claiming that this teaching is substi tuted for other purpose than that nam ed, let us, as teachers, with an abiding faith In Americanism, strive to hand down a citizenship worthy of America." "Friction in School Government Re duced to a Minimum" was the tnibleot assigned to Superintendent Ira A. Thur. imrton. of Thurlington Institute,Smith fleld. but owing to the absence of the speaker, the paoer was not read. "Technical Grammar." bv Superin tendent Edwin S. Sheope. Reldsvflle Graded Schools, was taken up at this point and discussed. It was a thor oughly practical, common-sense article, and was much enjoyed by all who heard ft. "Co-Education" was the last subject discussed at the morning esion. It was assigned to President F. P. Hob rood. Oxford Female College, and Prof. J. O. Atkinson. Elon College. Both were admirable papers, and were strong pleas for co-education. President Hob good spoke as follows: "Emerson says The castle which conservatism ts set to defend Is the existing state of things. Conservatism goes for comfort, reform for truth. This is an era of emanci pation. We are striking off the shack les of some hoary customs. A better day is at hand. This Is the golden age of the world. Philanthropists find no surer way of blessing the race than by endowing colleges and universities, but It seems strange that, until quite re cently neither State nor private ben eficence has in North Carolina made provision for the higher education of women. Without endowed colleges for women, and with limited educational facilities, there Is bot one practical so lutkxa to this subject; open our colleges and universities toVwamgp In advanced classes. Connected with the tusher edocatlon of women, three points seem to be settled, after many years of in vestigation and debate, that seme wo men desire and need higher education than that offered . by . any college in-l itona uarouna tor women: that some women Blaster these extended courses with as much ease as men, and that tbey do It without injury to health. ; "I do not take the poatttoa that these colleges, should be opened to grrls of any age. but to those prepared' to en ter the Junior class, All thtsreaa be done without additional eoetrro the col leges. , The same teaching, force, tee tare rooms. laboratories aa kt m it woun suffice. Not long agon, received a letter from a recent graduate of the Oxford seminary who wrote that she was - making preparations to - go. to Chicago University. This young wo man bad . two brothers educated : at Wake Forest. They could find at home what: they needed, .while she must go from her State at heavy expense to se cure the same education. : All that she needed -could have been furnished by her denominational college. She is one of a class that is growing larger year By year witb the change of oar civiliza tion. - ' - "Shall we longer discriminate against our . younf ladies?" - Prof. J. O. Atkinson, of -Elon College, next spoke, and presented a, masterly argument In favor .of co-education. At 8:30 to-night: a most delightful musical and elocutionary entertain ment was given. The assembly owes a great deal of the enjoyment of this occasion to the de lightful music it has had, and to Prof. Chaa. J. Brockman. of the Greensboro Musical College, who Is ths musical di rector of the assembly. He has been untiring In his efforts to furnish good music, and he has succeeded admirably. In all of his efforts he has been ably assisted by Miss Carrie Hobgood, of Oxford Female Seminary. Miss Hob good is a musician of rare accomplish ments, and the cheerfulness with which she has responded when called upon has won her many admirers and warm friends. Mrs. Cherry's "Lullaby Song" was quite the gem of the evening, and was greatly enjoyed. The following programme was carried out: Mixed quartette. Hunting song Men delssohn. Misses Hobgood and John son. Messrs. Wheeler and Brockman. 2. Vocal solo, with violin. Angels' Sere nade Boaga. Mrs. Hoover. $. Violin solo. Legend Welnawskl. Prof. C. J. Brockman. 4. Piano solo.

Special to the Observer. Concord, June 24. There came near being a very disastrous wreck at Glass' siding, six miles above this city this afternoon, at S o'clock. No. 71, a south bound through freight, was standing on the sidtng at the coal chute, when the material train collided from behind, de railing and otherwise damaging a ca boose and three box cars. One man was injured, but whom, and how badly, I was unable to learn. The family horse of Mr. J. W. Can non was frightened by another horse this afternoon and ran away. Little Eugene Cannon, a little tot, barely 9 years of age, was the only occupant of the phaeten and Jumped in the nick of time to avert what might have been a horrible death the vehicle having been almost completely demolished against an electric light pole in front of Burrage's store, on North Main street. The fine horse was badly cut on the legs and body. Mayor Crowell has done one good thing since his re-instatement to that office. He has given orders and au thority to have eveifc able-bodied tramp who is seen goingver the town beg ging arrested. This iB a llighly com mendable act, and if carried out and strictly enforced our people will rest more at ease and be- relieved of the burden of feeding a class of people who do not and will not work to earn a liv ing. Let other towns and cities follow. R E. Engling. a sewing machine agent of Charlotte, got. left in this city this morning while distributing fans among the excursionists from Greens boro. He was on his way to Salisbury. Mrs. Annie Possamon. wife of J. C. Sossamon. of Sossamon's Springs, this county, died last night. Mrs. Geo. W. Kestler. Sr.. Mrs. Geo. W. Kestler. Jr.. and Miss Lucy Coffin, of Greensboro, are visiting in this city. Judge and Mrs. W. J. Montgomery have gone to Cleveland Springs to spend several weeks. About all of the out-of-town guests who attended the Stone-Alexander wed ding have departed for their respective homes. Many have said that the dec orations and marriage at Central church last evening was the prettiest affair that has ever been witnessed in this city. RKPIIBIJCAlt TARIFF CAICV8. The Committee Rate on Wrapper Tobacco Su.talned A Duty Placed on Bides Watch Jewels Free. Washington, June 24. The Republi can Senators decided in caucus to night, by a vote of 22 to 11, to sustain the action of the finance committee in placing a duty on hides, but did not de cide the question of the amount of duty to be imposed. The committee was al so sustained In the rate fixed upon im ported wrapper tobacco. The only oth er disputed questions considered were watches and watch Jewels, and on these the finance committee was reversed, the House rates being accepted on watches, and watch jewels being made free. The debate on the tobacco schedule waji confined to brief speeches by Sen ators Hawley and Fairbanks. The finance committee had originally fixtd the rate on wrapper tobacco at tl.5Q.ft pound, in opposition to the House rale of 2 per cent. The representatives of the leaf growers contend for the resto ration of the House rate, which was re sisted by the smaller manufacturers, nartlculnrly those of the Western States. The finance committee yielded to the growers to the extent of ex tending the rati to $1.75. Senator Haw ley to-night represented the growers in their effort to secure a $2 rate, and Sen ator Fairbanks the manufacturers, in their efforts to hold the original finance committee figures. The caucus decided without division to stand by the com promise rate of $1.75. The questions of reciprocity, trusts and Hawaiian sugar, beer, tea and internal revenue were not discussed. FOUND DEAD IK BID. Congressman Cook Died During tbe Wight at If to Hotel In Washington. Washington, June 24. Congressman Edward I)ean Cook was found dead in his room at the Cochran Hotel this morning about 5 o'clock. His death was the result of a clot on the heart. Mr. Cook retired about 11 o'clock last Bight, apparently in perfect health. At 2 o'clock this morning Night Clerk Cochran was called to his room and found him suffering from nausea, but he soon recovered, aad declined to have a physician called. He returned to bed and nothing fur ther was thought of the matter until Mr. Cochran returned to the hotel about 5 o'clock this morning and went to Mr. Cook's room to inouire for him. Mr. Cook was dead, and the physician who was immediately summoned said that he had apparently been dead for sever al hours. The members of the Illinois delegation were at once notified, and the aergeant-at-arms took charge of the body, which will be prepared at once for shipment to Chicago. rire in O a ton Deatn of a Minister Por- npeclal to tne Observer.

The parade of the United Confederate Veterans to day, the closing event of the re union, in which more than 14.000 veterans took part, was the largest in the history on the organisation, and one or tne great est ever seen In this city. The streets were densely crowded. The Stars and Stripes and Confederate flags were con spicuous in the long line that reached from the public square to the. Tennessee Centennial Exposition gates. One hun dred thousand people had collected to sea the parade. Nothing in the history of Nashville has equalled the outpour ing; never was thero such a procession. On the faces of lookers-on and of some of the bent figures stepping briskly and prou-ily, oould be seen the suggestion that never again would there be such another parade. The lines started promptly. Police on horseback cleared the way, and from start to finish the best of order pre vailed. All vehicles were kept off the streets included in the line of march, and the street cars stopped running. The parade was cheerfully accorded the full right of way. From the starting point, the custom house, through the center of the city, around the public square, out Broad street and Vanderbilt University, where the parade broke ranks a dense mass of cheering people s-roetHi the old soldiers, their generals. and the beautiful women who took part. The citizens of Nashville were Dotn welcoming and speeding their departing guests, and they did it with whole souled cordiality, inspiring to witness. General W. H. Jackson, of Nashville, chief marshal headed the procession, his staff consisting of distinguished men. Commander-in-Chief John B. Gordon and staff, came next with troop "A," of Tennessee, Captain Hagar com manding, and thirteen young ladies on horseback as escort tnu guard of honor. Gen. Vaughan, the new major general of the Tennessee .division, followed. Then came the State divisions, each di vision preceded by sponsors, maids of honor and invited guests, beautifully attired in summer costumes. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana. Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri,' Kentucky, Maryland. Indian Territory, New York, Illinois, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, West Vir ginia, and the District of Columbia, all had veterans in line. The Sons of Con federate Veterans also marched, and were commanded by Robert J. Smyth, of Charleston, the newly elected com mander. The Daughters of the Confed eracy were present in large numbers, and rode in carriages. General W. B. Bate, General Joseph Wheeler, and General H. B. BUckner, were in a car riage at the head of the Tennesse di vision. Gen. A. P. Stewart. General M. C. Butler, Miss Buckner, and Mrs. W. B. Bate preceded them in a carriage. Judge Reagan and General John S. Ford rode with the Texas division. Mrs. A. P. Stewart, Robert E. Lee, and J. H. Hook, aroused continued cheers. General Stephen D. Lee was easily re cognized. With their respective divisions, the commanding officers from each State rode by, and as they were recognized shouts went up, while as little bands marched along bearing tattered flags inscribed with the names of bloody bat tlefields, a mighty roar ascended. From the time these traps bearing the motto started, the music of Dixie, all down the time these troops bearing mottoes stand where General Gordon, for one Hour and a half, saluted the passing posts, the air was rent with cheers with drum beats, bugle blasts, and music by bands. And though, at noon rain fell In torrents, veterans, sponsors, maids of honor, generals and privates stood to their posts and when the storm had passed, resumed the line of march. As was to be expected, the Tennessee division was the largest, but the adjoin ing States furnished thousands, and from the distant ones the attendance was heavy. After passing the .review ing stands, the parade was dismissed and the"bright sunshine soon removed the traces of the rain storm. Though the storm had bedraggled the flags and banners, the enthusiasm was not dampened, and In a shott time the streets were again thronged, and thou sands of the major portion were trav eling to the auditorium to listen to the speeches and witness the closing exer cises of the afternoon and evening. The afternoon was also a general holiday, and the line of march was handsomely decorated. The veterans were not all In uniform, though a large number in each division wore the uniforms of the days of bat tle. Each State was represented In the ex erctses at the auditorium by delegates, their friends and a speaker selected for he occasion. The speeches were short, but excellently suited to the occasion, and were received with rounds of ap plause. Capt. J. B. O'Brien presided. Among the speakers were men from every State and so great was the crowd that it was after 6 o'clock when the last speaker finished. To-night the same vast throng wit nessed the fire-works prepared for the occasion, and listened to the rendering of another "Southern Programme," by the Innes band. While old Confederate flags, regi mental flags, tattered and torn, appear ed In the decorations and In the parade equally prominent at every turn was he Stars and Stripes and in the parade the national standard was seen In every division. It is the unanimous verdict of the veterans and their visiting friends, that the r-unlon was the most success ful yet held. H ATI. 8TOX8 BIO A OSTRICH EGGS.

The worst hail storm known In this section of Kansas struck the city shortly after 6 o'clock to-night. Hail stones weighing 12 and 16 ounces fell, broke window panes on every hand, and did damage to plate glass; cut down telegraph- and telephone wire" riddled awnings and in flicted unprecedented damage through out the city. Dogs were struck In the "treets and were Instantly killed. Horses were knocked to their knees, and runaways occurred throughout the city. When the fury of the storm had passed dead birds were found every where. A hcaw wind and terrific light ning accompanied the stormi Topeka to-night looks like a city that has withstood a seige of war guns. There are not a dozen buildings in town that are not almost windowleas. and many roofs were caved in. The roofs of street cars were also pierced. The damage done can better be imagin ed when it is known that the hall stones ranged In size from that of s hen's egg to an ostrich egg, and that SO minutes after the storm one hailstone was picked up which measured 14 inch es in circumference. Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds of persons injur ed in the storm, and reports of injuries continue td be received.. Many were hurt tn runaways In the streets, t The following were among the most seriously hurt: Frank Brainard. hack man, skull fractured: 3. D. Henderson, liveryman, skull fractured : Roy White, leg broken; Mrs. Mary ITughee, arm broken in a runaway; D. K. Lee. bad scalp wound: Miss Anna Fenton, head cut: Fred Hotter, head cut. The damage cannot be estimated, but it will amount to thousands of dollars. Window glass to already at a premium here, and to-night three ear-loads were ordered from Kansas City.

Mrs. Springs' old nurse, Judy Phelps, came and wept at tbe shroud ot her once little charge and mistress. :. It was a sad funeral and. few eyes were dry. ... Mrs. Springs was in her Slst year. She was a member of the Baptist church, and her Christian life, motherly kind ness to all, gentle, unassuming disposi tion wrought an Influence upon all who knew her well. Rev. Mr. Riteh, pastor of the Baptist church In Thomasville, conducted the funeral services, assisted by Rev. Mr. Sheets, of Lexington. - The party who committed the murder Is at large and there is no trace of his identity nor whereabouts. A party with Mr. Hartsoe and his dogs went to Midway last night hoping to strike the trail, but failed and went on to Win ston. No clue wss obtained and they returned this afternoon. u tbkbk a cm; A Rumor That There is, and That the Guilty 'Persons Are Being shadowed, j t Greensboro Record, 24th. Tou can hear all kinds of rumors, of course. Here is one that came from Lexington this morning and Is given for what it is worth. It is said that the sheriff of that county Is pretty well sat- isned wno did the shooting, and can get the parties; they are both being "shadowed" with no prospect of get ting away; but that the reason an ar rest is not made at once is that such is the state of feeling that should one be made the parties would be lynched, and there is Just a little doubt about the guilt of the two men the sheriff has in view. It Is stated that this report is not current in Lexington, the sheriff and his men saying that they have no clew, but that it is true nevertheless. One reason why we give this rumor is that ever since the murder, in every story that was given out, it was stated that there was absolutely no clew. This came with such frequency that It soon seemed to be a studied effort to throw people off the track. The au-thor-iOf the rumor further says that the suspected parties are well known people and that a sensation would be created by giving their names, and rurther that a mere mention of the names would cause a fight. But, as stated above, we give the ru mor for what it is worth. Stranger things and stranger tactics have been resorted to under such emergencies. WATTS MAT BK IMPEACHED, A Strong Bill of Indictment Brought Against the Adjutant Oenaral of South Carolina. Columbia, S, C June 24. Adlutant General Watts, of the Stats-militia, on tne Zith of May. precipitated a fight tierween a battalion of Infantry and the students of the South Carolina College tjy oraenng tne troops to clear the dia mond while the students were playing a game of ball. Charges were preferred against General Watts to Governor El- erbe by the college authorities. He ordered a court 'of inquiry to Investigate the charges. The court to-day complet ed its work and reported its findings and recommendations to the Governor. The court, in its findings, said: in taking and retaining a position amidst a crojsfh of turbulent students at or near third base, thereby enro ach ing upon the lawful territory of the baseball players, and uselessly interfer ing with their game, when ample and suitable grounds were available near by. General Watts showed serious lack df Judgment and disregard for the rights of others. "His ordering the battalion forward for the purpose of clearing the field was an assumption of authority that was unwise, unnecessary and unwarrant ed The Adjutant General of South Caro lina is a constitutional officer, elected by the people, and hence not subject to court martial, as In other States. This being the case, the court of Inquiry Recommended that the Governor lay the whole matter before, the General As sembly for It to Impeach General Watts. The court further recommended that the Governor and commander in chlof publish a general order reprimanding General J. Gary Watts for rerious la-k of judgment and disregard of the rights of other on the occasion of the disturb ance on the athletic grounds of the South Carolina College, at Columbia. on May 28th. A. D.. 1897." Governor Ellebe has the matter under advisement. The dismissal from the service of Private Flshburn. w ho broke ranks and menaced a student with his gun. is recommended.

' 4 - ..;-.--.,-.-,;.-. The executive committee of tho trus tees of the Oxford Orphan Asylum met there to-day. I -f! Rev. Dr. Joyful L. Ramsey, the new secretary of the board of agriculture, says that many people have an idea that the book, "North Carolina and Its Resources." is for general distribution in this State. This is a great error. It Is intended for circulation outside- tbe State and that is where it does good. Governor Russell left this morning for Wrightsvllle and win remain there, at "the summer capital," until next Tuesday. The Governor! had another letter to Burrage, of Portland, day. from MaJ. Me., endorsing ia letter from Middles- borough, Ky., about the major's swora, which, as he states, was taken after his capture before Petersburg, in 1864. The letter says there was a dispute between Captains Summers and Teague, of the Thirty-third North Carolina. Regiment, as to which should have the sword. A committee; was chosen: to decide and Teague was the winner. He wss from Alexander i county. Now MaJ. Burrage wishes to know if Teague Is alive or to get the address of some of bis family. The Secretary of State sent out to day the blanks for the August school election; also, the general election'1 law, under which the election ts to be held. This is the law of 1895, with the amend ments of J.8OT incorporated. - There is a rather interesting rumor current here to the effect that Senator Odam, of Anson, who contributed so much to the election of Senator Prttch ard last January, is to be chief deputy marshal in the office of the United States marshal here, and that Settle Doc leery is to be the clerk. The clerk of jthe Federal Court here Is the clerk of both the District and Circuit Courts.1 Of course each Judge can appoint a separate clerk for each court, should he so wish. Judge Pur nell will name I. B. Fortune. Now- the point Is, will Judge Simonton make the same anointment? State Treasurer Worth is now get ting In the annual reports from the State banks. The cashiers are required to give the value of the stock the actual, not the par value. The Treas urer says the stock of the Wetdon bank is given out at a higher rate than any other $158. State Auditor Ayer calls attention to a requirement of the new revenue act, that the cashier of every bank must furnish the county commissioner the names of all stockholders, together with the number and value of their, shares ; and must also furnish the State Auditor with a list of the stockholders, their holdings and their poetofflce ad dresses, so that In esse any live tn oth er counties the' Auditor can give ths sheriffs the names and amount taxa ble. The Auditor says this also appUes to all corporations; that the presidents of the latter must make similar state ments. It appears that the first of the far mers' institutes this year is to be held in Guilford' county, July 7 and 8. -It has been the experience that in many counties there was a slim attendance at these Institutes. For this year there was never any reason given save that many farmers can't be induced to leave home to go anywhere except to church. No element In ths world is so hard to reach as this stay-at-nomc crowd. A "snuff drummer" was Interviewed yesterday and, was asked ths question whether there was an Increase In the consumption of tnua is this State. He replied yes and that it was considera ble. He thought it as great In tbe mountains as. in the eastern counties. Many men were habitual users of snuff; not in the old "nasal style." but In lieu of tobacco. They place a quantity of the snuff between the lower lip and the teeth and hold it there, declaring they feel the effect more than If they used tobacco in any other form. s Very fine photographs of the Governor and his staff have been received from Nashville. It is proposed that each year, or oftener,' if possible, one of the rooms or departments at the capitol shall be re floored, with cement and tiles. It is likely to be done, ss the remodeled Treasury looks so welL Tears ago large quantities of shoes used to be made in the penitentiary for the convicts. This business Is to be re sumed.' Wagons of good quality are now being made there for the farms. John R. Smith is looking after all these matters. Good news as to the crops comes in from all directions. One. of tho best features is the cleanness of the crops. - Mention has been made that there is a renewal of the"eontract." If so It can be termed, between tbe Agricultural Department and the Agricultural and Mechanical College, by which the latter makes the analysis of fertilisers. . AH the "plant" is in the agricultural build ing, just as it has always been. and. of coarse, the connection of It and ths col lege is In the name only. For some years, ia order to aid the college, this arrangement has been tn effect and the allowance . made has increased at the rate of 'about $1,000 for each two years: being in 189-'97 $10,000; in 1894-"5 $,000, etc. i : RAW INTO A ROCKY CUFF.
