THE House is divided so evenly,
politically that for the first time 10 a
great many years the centre aisle
separates the two parties exactly.
Usually, from the inequality OF the
party forces one side. has had to 10
irude to a greater or less extent up
on the others seats. But now the
right is all Democratic and the left
all Republican. There are 3O2 seats
altogether, giving l5l to each party
As there are only 292 members, all
told, and as the Democratic MAORI

was easily effected. With all the

there remain but two unoccupied

Religious Intelligence,

Quarterly meeting on Pisgah cir

embracing the first Sunday in May.
Rev. L. j. Duncan was taken with
chill while preaching last Sunday
and had to dismiss the congregation
before he concluded his sermon.
Rev. j. b. McFcrrin, d. d.,
preached ut the Methodist Church
Sunday night. This venerable and
useful man OF God was the pastor
of the Methodist Church here in
1884.
There was no service at any but
the Methodist church last Sunday
night. IL had been announced that
protracted meeting would then be-
gin, and all the pastors in town
were to assist. Owing to the illness
of Mr.. Duncan this was postponed
until next Sunday night.
Rev. j. b. McFerrin lectured at the
Methodist church Monday night to
a very small audience lit was threat

How Spoford was Elected.

Under the above head the Chica
go Times publishes a ridiculous tel
egram from New Orleans, about the
use of money by Mrs. Spofford To
secure the election oil Judge Spot
ford TO the U. S. Senate OF course
we do not believe n word of it. The
telegram reads as follows:
The Times correspondent to-day
had a long interview with +. b.
Flores, a tobacco manufacturer, and
claiming to be the head of tobae-
co ring which has existed in this
city for six years. The statement
of Flores has been fully confr med
by a responsible citizen, who will
make affidavit that j. r. West Wis
tied New Orleans and received the
money from the tobacco ring when
John Cockrell went out of office.
The same informant can produce at
any time the checks payable to the
order of j. Ross. Steward, and
signed by Mrs. Spofford, which Sc
cured the thirty-four votes that
elected Judge Spofiord to the Uni
ted States Senate. This party will
probably appear as a witness before
the Senate committee and exhibit
Mrs. Spoford's checks. At the
same time Charles Il. Howard will
appear before the Senate committee
and testify that he advanced SAT,
BOO to secure the installation of the |
Nichols government and the cleo
ion of Spoford.

A trade in real estate amounting
20 about $4,000 was consummated
in this vicinity last week. Mr.. Jno.
W. Black, late of Athens, Ala, be-
came the purchaser of the Airing
ton Mills of Messrs. Alternately d
Craig at $1,000, and also Of the
beautiful country home near by OF
Mr.. w. j. Craig, Including 40 acres
of land at 81, 500, and of 81 acres of
MI. j. E. Abernathy's land adjoin-
ing at $50 per acre. The sale is re-
garded as a good one, onslderlng
the pressure of the times and the
consequent depreciation in real es-
tate, but the purchaser has obtained
some of the best property IN the
State at price not cent above
half it's real value. The purchaser
will be a great acquisition 20 the
neighborhood. He is said to be
gentleman of probity and high so
cial standing, a progressive man
and live christian. Not only the
neighborhood but the entire county
Is to be congratulated upon the
AGO uisition Of such men. If we
were to lose either of the other gen
tlemen we might have regrets mixed
with our congratulations, but there is
to be no change in their citizenship.
Giles is good enough for them, and
we take the liberty to say they are
citizens that any country might
well be proud Of.

A Romantic Incident.

One morning some years ago the
New Orleans Picayune contained a
poem so full of beauty aud senti
ment as TO attract universal atten-
ton.
A rich young Tennessean, haunt
ed and impressed by the extraordl-
nary fascination OF the poem, called
at the Picayune office to inquire the
name of the writer. He was told
that it was l.. Virginia French.
The ardent young Tennessean
sought the acquaintance of the lady.
and after a chivalrous and romantic
courtship she consented to become
his bride.
The latest production of L. Vir-
GINA French is "Darlingtonia," a
novel, to be published as a serial in
The Detroit Free Press, commenc
ing IN the number for May 3.

ing merits of that paper may easily
