NEW BERNE, N. C. OCT. 24. 1882. Entered at the Pont oltice at New Heme, as second-class matter. N C. The Ohio man promises to be back presently. This was merely an off year,. , The Southern question and "the Ohio man" have disappeared from politics. The state of Ohio favors whisky seven days in the week, and heaven only knows how many times in the day. One hundred dollars is bet that ice will bo a foot thick on the Ohio river ere December. Exchange. And Ohio ltepublicans probably liclieve it after the extremely "cold day" of the lOtb. If Col. Humphrey will now withdraw his man Wassom, and not suffer him to hamper Canady any longer, we may be pretty sure of the 3d district. New Berne Banner. The Banner, : Iiepublican paper, edited by a colored man, seems to hold about the same opinion of Wassom's candidacy as is held by the Onslow people. But why should not the Banner support Wassom just as it is now supporting O'l I ara! Neither one, according to that paper, has been regularly nominated by the Iiepublican party, yet they are able to run all other llcpubli- caus off the track. Cotton Factories. The introduction of new machin ery in the New Ilerne cotton facto ry, and the employment of skilled labor in its management gives prom ise of a prosperous future for this industry in this section. The nat ural advantages of manufacturing cotton near where it is raised and consumed are so great that it is on ly a question of time when every wide awake section in the South will turn its raw cotton into 'manu factured products. The difference of $2 to $3 a bale, and the return freight on the manufactured pro ducts ought to be a sufficient mar gin of profit for our home mills. The Baltimore Journal of Com merce estimates the actual capital now invested in Southern cotton mills at $50,000,000, of which near ly one-third has been invested with in two years. Touching the prosperity of these Southern mills the Journal says that ten per cent annual dividends are the lowest reported, and this after a large amount has been ta ken from the earnings for increas ing the size and capacity of , the mills. Under more favorable con ditions the dividends have been much larger, as in the following instances: - The Augusta, Ga. factory, the oldest mill in that city, has a capi tal ot tfoou,uoo, and runs 20,200 spindles and 790 -looms; from 1805 to 1882, 17 years it has paid out in cash dividends 11,407,000, or about 2i times its capital, or an average oi 14J per cent per annum; besides this it has laid aside a surplus of between 310,000 and $350,000, or over 50 per cent of its entire capital; its stoc k is worth from 100 to 170 The Langley mill of the same city- Las a capital of $100,000, with 10, ( L J , , indies and 32!) looms; it has ai l in iiie past a.$ years 47$ per cent, dividends, or an average of al-out 15 per cent, per annum: last year it paid a dividend of 20 per ( rat; its present surplus is $200,- 000, and its stock is worth from 1G0 to 1"0. The Granitcvillo mill, also ... . , , , . ' Ol Augusta, With i Capital Of l00,- m i.,ia ni.fiOO Ritinrilf ami !H)0 looms; this company pays 10 per CCUt dividends, aild then puts its surplus into new spindles; out of its surplus earnings, that is, its earn ings above its dividends, it has built, without a dollar's espouse to the stockholders, the Vaiichise mills, with 10,000 spindles for mak iug fine fabric, at a cost of $340,000; it has also laid aside an additional surplus of $125,fi40. The Enter prise was started in 1877, with a capital of $1)00,000; it has also paid 10 per cent dividends, and laid aside the rest of its earnings as a surplus. The Wesson mills of Mis sissippi have paid a dividend of 20 percent, and the Troup factory of flie same State 24 per cent, while from time to time we, have noted dividends of from 30 to fiO per cent, the hitter having been earned by a Pulaski, Tennessee, mill last year.' .;.:. Against this, by way of compar ing the relative prolltableness of Northern and Southern mills, in i set the assertion of Mr. liussell, mem ber, of Congress from Massachu setts, who said in the House of Rep resentatives that lie had from otli cial sources a statement showing that fifty of the leading corpora tions in Lowell, Lawrence, Chico pce, and Salem, Massachusetts; Manchester, Nashua, and New market, New Hampshire; Lewiston, and other points in Maine, repre senting a capital of ,0,000,000 en gaged in manufacturing the various grades of cotton and woolen fabrics, have paid to their stockholders in the last five years an' average divi dend of a little less than 7 per cent per annum only. - The cot Ion mills ol the South al ready give employment to some thing like 40,000 operatives. Mulionc Miul Wry Anyj. Postmaster Sends Him Confederate Money and the. Boss of Rosses Takes Revenge. Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 20. Some days since George M. Helm the stanch aiiti-bossism Postmaster it Helm's Store Tost Office, in 'rankliii county, received a man date from the Mahone-IIubbcll managers calling on him for an assessment of $20 for campaign purposes. Mr. Helm at once wrote i formal letter acknowledging the eceipt of the Mahone-llubbell favor and winding up with the words.' "Enclosed please find. the amount asked." "With the letter was $20 in Confederate money. Yesterday Air. Helm received a notification that the Post Office did not require his services any onger, and so anxious was Mahone to vent his spite not only upon the decapitated Postmaster, but the teople m that section who sustained Helm's course that he has- had the .'ost Office abolished,- and all JJie mail now has to go to ltocky Mount, 10 miles out of the way. Helm is out in print, saying ior himself and the people in that district: "We are still brave enough to say that we will not barter our honest con victions, and refuse to crawl upon our bellies at the feet of this little bob-tailed, weevil-eaten railroad conductor and would-be autocrat. Billy Mahone." A Beautiful Superstition. There is a singular and beautiful superstition or phenomenon, the public may judge which, connected with a certain country house m Guilford county, near the Quaker ge of New Garden. For many years tins house has heen m the possession of . a family . named llotchkiss. Some years ago a young and amiable member of this family died. Her many graces and virtues had given her an almost sainted character in the community. Alter she died it became to be a fixed belief that cardinal lined flowers, reversing the famous cou plet where the Yorkist flower when placed in contrast with the charms of feminine loveliness, Blushes to find itself less fair And reddens into Lancaslrain there, would, when allowed to remain overnight in the room where this saint young woman died, lose the dark richness of their hue and be found iu the morning pale and white. There are ineny seemingly well authenticated instances of these singular 'metamorphoses and we were shown a letter yesterday by a lady ot this city lroni a cousin in Guilford who made the expert ment at her request. He declines positively that several red roses he left in the room were found next morning white to the roofs of the leaves and yet nuwithered and re taining their fragrance, and the richness of health. Charlotte Journal. Spoopcudjke Stops Smoking, (lirooklyn Eiigle.) "My dear," said Mr. Spoopen dyke, t rumpling his hair around over his head and gazing at himself iu t he glass; "my dear, do you know I think 1 smoke too much? It doesn't agree with me at all." - "Just, what 1 have always thought!" chimed Mrs. Spoopen dyke, "and besides, it makes the room smell so. You know this room " "I'm not talking about the room," retorted Mr. Spoopendyke, with a snort. "I'm not aware that it affects the health ol the room. I'm talking about my health this trip, and I t hink I'll break oft" short. You don't catcli me smoking any more," and Mr. Spoopendyke yaw ned ami stretched himself, and plumped down in his easy chair and glared out the window at the rain. "How are you going to break off" inquired Mrs. Spoopendyke, draw ing up her sewing chair, and gazing up into her husband's face admir ingly. lI suppose the best way is not to think of it all." "The best way is for you to sit there and cackle about it!" growled Mr. . Spoopendyke. ''If anything will distract my. attention from it thai. will. Can't ye think of some thing else to talk about? Don't ye know some subjects that ,' don't smell like a tobacco plantation!" ""Certainly," cooed Mrs. Spoopen dyke, rather nonplussed. "We might talk about the rain. I sup pose this is really the equinox. How long will it last dear!" "Gast the equinox!" sputtered Mr. Spoopendyke. "Don't you know that when a man "quits sniok ing it depresses liimf What d'ye want to talk about depressing things for J Now 'a. the time to make me cheerful, know any cheerful quiet." If ye don't things, keep "Of course," assented Mrs Spoop endyke, "you want subjects that will draw your mind away from the habit of smoking like ymi used to. Won't it be nice when the long winter evenings come, and the fin; is lighted and you have your slip pers and paper ' j "That's jiist the lime I want a! cigar!" roared Mr. Spoopendyke, bounding around in his chair 'and scowling at his wife. '"Ain't ye got sense enough to shingle your tongue for - a minute? The way you're keeping it up you'll drive ine back to my habit in less'n an hour," he continued solemnly, and then my blood will be on your head!" "Oh, dear!" sighed Mrs. Spoopen dyke, "I don't mean to. Did you notice about the comet? They say it is going to drop into the snn and burn up " "There ye go again!" yelled Mr. Spoopendyke "You can't open your mouth without suggesting something that breaks me down! What d'ye want to talk about fire for? Who wants fire wheu he's stopped smoking? Two jninutcs more and I'll have a pipe in my mouth!" and Mr. Spoopendyke groaned 'dismally in contemplation of the prospect. "I'm glad you're going to stay at home to-day," continued Mrs. Spoopendyke, soothingly. "You'd be sure to catcli cold if you went out; and by and by we'll have a piping hot dinner " "That's it!" squealed Mr. Spoop endyke, bounding out of his chair and plunging around the room. "You'd got to say something about a pipe! I knew how it would be! You want nio to die! You w ant me to smoke myself into an early grave! You'll fetch it! Don't give yourself any uneasiness! You're on the track!" and Mr. Spoopendyke buried his face in his hands and shook convulsively. "I meant it lor the best, my dear," murmured Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I thought I was drawing" ' "That's it!" ripped Mr. Spoopen dyke. "Drawing! You've driven me to it instead oi keeping me from it. You know how it's done! All you need now is a lightning rod and and a dish ot milk toast to be an inebriates' home! Where's that cigar I left here on the mantel? Gimme my death warrant! Show me my imported doom! Drag forth my niinatnre cottin'' and JUr. Spoop endyke swept the contents of the shell upon the floor and howled dis mally, "Isn't that it?" asked Mrs. Spobpeudyke, pointing to a small pile of snuff on the chair in which Mr. Spoopendyke had been sit ting. "That looks like it." "Wah!" yelled Mr. Spoopendyke, grasping his hat and making' for the door. "Another time I swear off you go into the country, you hear!' and Mr. Spoopendyee dashed out of the house and steered for the nearest tobacco shop. , fl don't care," muttered Mrs. Spoopendyke; "wheu he swears off again I'm willing to leave, and in the meantime 1 suppose he'll be healthier w ithout his pipe, so I'll hang it up on (he Avail where he'll never think of looking for it," and having consigned the tobacco to the llames, Mrs. Spoopendyke gathered her sewing materials around her and doubled clinched an old resolution never to lose her temper, no matter what happened. Wake up the Hoys. (Keuisvlllr Timet..) . The 5th district was never more unanimous than now in its inten tion to re-elect Gen. Scales by a handsome majority. Put this una nimity of sentiment should not be get a confidence that will deter a single man from the polls on the 7th of November. They must all be there not only to vote and work for Scales but for the whole Demo cratic ticket. , Old Stokes county must be in the saddle early aud late. So too Alamance, Caswell, Persou, Guil ford and Rockingham. 'The enemy hopes to catch us adeep. Why old Guilford isn't going against Scales. Not she. It isn't her grit to feed 'on such measly stuff as the Liberal taffy. Her citizens are men, grown men. All is needed is for the leaders to sound the bugle And old Person. Ila ! ha',! Only get her foot well in the stirrup and she's a daisy. Why three tried old regulars in the Holloway section in the eastern part of Persou can give one w hoop for Scales and the right, and shake every poor Liberal in the county into the galloping con sumption. Let them blow at once for boots and saddle. And Alamance, catch her asleep, will you ! Tnrrentine, startr the boys ! Wake them up for line we look for a cool three hundred ma jority in the land of the Regulators. As for old Rockingham Heaven bless her she's loading with a cool thousand, and stand from under when she goes off. Somebody catch poor Folk when we shoot hi in with Rnflin. Aud oh, is there a root convenient for W'iuston to lie down and grab ? . . -Wake up the boys. There's thunder in the old Fifth's neck and she must roar. The fun's most here. The 7th is near. Dress for action beat up ; the camp and leave no man asleep on his ballot. 'terrible Duel ... - i We hear that a terrible duel was fought in the lower edge of Guil ford last Wednesday. The weapons used were horsewhips. The battle ground was iu an old fid 1 remote from any habitation. When our i n f i mailt passed no one had. inter fered, and the combat .lit were mak ing steady and regular licks upon each other without flinching, and the strokes of the whips could be heard some distance as they went whizzing through the air upon the backs of the two men. Occasionally one or the other would back a little from his lilie, but would soon come up again to the scratch. Whenever they got tired one would call out to hold up for a while and they , would take breathing spell, and when rested they would go at it again. The light continued for over three hours with short intervals of rest. From parties who have since seen young Johnston, one of the duelists, we learn there was not a place on him that you could place a silver quarter without touching the welts that the whips had made, aiid he was marked all over the same way. Williams was cut up but not so badly. A young woman in the neighborhood was at the bottom of the boro Patroit. difficulty. GreertH- A Lady who Saw Washington Tnke the Oath. Mrs. Catharine Cole Morris," who died on Thursday in her 90th year, at the house of her daughter, Mrs. L. J. L'elloui, 131 West 129th street, was born in Vandewater street, in the Swamp. Hei father held her on his shoulder on March 30,1780, to see Gen. Washington in Wall street take the oath as first Presi dent of the United States. Her wedding tour 1810 was a sleigh ride from Jacob street to a dance at a country hotel near what is now Canal street. NEWADVERTISEMENTS. FA0ILY GROCERIES !
