Iron Interests,

Chattanooga Times: Maj. Tom O'Con-
ner and Col. Crawford were in the city yes
terday, making purchases for the furnace
they are now erecting at Gadsden. 1t will
have a capacity of sixty tons. They have
purchased all the fire brick, castings, pip
ing, steel rails, etc., in this city, expending
over $50, 900 with Chattanooga manufac-
turers.
Major O'Conner is now engaged in a
grand work, which win prove of material
benefit to the South, and one of the most
potent factors in its fusllre progress and de-
velopment. Besides investing his own ex-
tensive means in enterprises of every sort,
he is using his influence to induce wealthy
Northerners to embark in Southern enter
prises. Colonel Crawford the Pennsylvania
millionaire, has visited the South since
1868 for the purpose of making invest
ments, but was never brought to the point
of acting until Maj. O'Conner brought to
bear his influence recently, and supported
it by substantial reasoning, offering to take
half interest in any furnace Col. Craw-
ford would build in the South. The latter
at once agreed, and papers were drawn, and
the work of building the Gadsden furnace
at once commenced.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Sen~
ate again took up the revenue tax
bill and resumed the discussion of
Senator Beck's amendment reducing
the tax to II cents.
Senator Bayard spoke in favor of
the amendment.
Senator Malone opposed the
amendment as calculated to benefit
largely the retail dealer to the preju-
dice of the consumer and producer
Senator Johnston expressed him
self in favor of abolition of the to
bacco tax and of the entire internal
revenue system. The people whom
he Represented regarded that system
as a failure of despotic govern
ment, and despised the infamous re-
straints it imposed upon them.
Finally vote was taken ON Sena.or
Beck's amendment fixing the tobacco
tax, on and after June 1st, 1888, at
II cents per pound, and it was
agreed tO-yeas 20, nays 26.
The Senate passed the joint reso
luton continuing the appropriations
for the last fiscal year, to July 31st,
and adjourned, with motion pend
ing, offered by Senator Voorhees,, to

posed reduction of the tax on bank

per cent, this would destroy the
planting interest altogether. He
argued that it was fallacious to as
sumo that a modification of the sugar
tariff or an abolition of the duties
cheapened the cost to consumers.
He asked what guaranty was there
that refined would sell at lower
rate. Concerning the reduction
upon cigars and cigarettes, he said
that the agitation of the proposed
change had unsettled the market,
and insisted that the trade should be
protected either by the restoration
OF the House clause allowing a re
bate or postponement of the time at
which the act shall take effect from
October, the date fixed for the law
to take effect, until January or May
next.
After some further debate Senator
Voorhees, amendment was rejected
-15 to Al. The Senate committee
amendment to the first section, as
amended by a reduction of the tax
on tobacco, was then agreed to
80 to 9, and the question recurred d
on the remainder of the section
The portion adopted fixes the tax on
manufactured tobacco, after January
1st, 1883, at 12 cents per pound
and provides that the repeal of the
taxes on capital and deposits Of
banks and bankers shall affect such
taxes as are now due and payable
and that the repeal of the STAMP
tax on bank checks, drafts, orders
and vouchers shall not take efec
until October 1st, next. Adjourned
Mr., Ranney of Massachusetts,

testimony, asserting that there wa
a fair and free election in the All

that inasmuch as the contestant
who had been legally elected, hat
recently died, his seat should be de
clared vacant.
The case of the contestee was pre-
sented and argued by Mr.. Beltshoo
yer, of Pennsylvania, who quote'
from the record to strengthen hi
assertion, that the sitting membe
was entitled to retain his seat.
Mr.. Curtain, of Pennsylvania, i
brief speech, dwelt upon the ne
cessity of members determinin
election cases as judges, and not a
Legislators or as partizans, and ad

with painful sensation of fleaving undone something
which ought to have been done; slight, dry cough
and flushed face is sometimes attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
of WEAKNESS and debility nervous, easily startled;
feet cold or burning, sometimes prckly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits low and respondent
and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try it-in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several
of the above symptoms attend the disease but
have occurred when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.
1t should be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any OF the above
symptoms appear.
Persons Travelling or Living in I'm

. ICAN'T AFFORD IT.-How often do we
hear this expression when people are about
to make purchase and are shown a su-
perior quality Of goods, when the fact is
that nearly every merchant has his largest
margins on his cheapest goods, and the
purchaser is out more money at the end
of year or two than he would have been
had he bought the better goods. There
are some goods however Of which cheap
article is just as good as the dearest. But
it is not the case with oils and paints, the
very best is the cheapest in almost every
case. Saur makes speciality of first class
paints, which he guarantees to give satis-
faction. at the very lowest market prices.
He has paints OF all shade and colors, and
in all shapes, mixed ready for use, con-

first class painter would use, including
a large stock of brushes to put it on with

warranted to not come to pieces.

RidgeviIIe items.

ED. NoRTHwEsT:-Durin the past fif-
teen years our little village has made rapid
strides in Improvements. In 1867 there
was but one little grocery store-a seven-
by-nine affair, where tea, coffee and sugar
were about the only staples, and the pri-
ces were such that the greater part OF our
citizens bought most of their supplies in
the neighboring villages. We now have
two we'll stocked stores in which our peo-
pie may supply themselves with variety
OF dry goods, groceries, hardware, paints,
oils, drugs and medicines, and a large
trade has been built up here, which, dur
ing the past year has very much increased.
Each firm now runs two merchant wagons
well stocked with everything for family
use, which is carried to the doors of their
customers within a radius of seven or
eight imiles. We also have one black
smith shop, one repair shop, one steam
saw mill, one shoe shop, one hotel and one
brick and tile factory. For the healing of
our bodily diseases, we have one first class
resident physician, and for our spiritual
we'll being we are supplied with two large
commodious church buildings, each sup
piled with good bell, with religious servi-
ces in both every sabbath. Every busi-
ness seems to thrive except the saloon bus
iness. The Pond License Law and the
Smith Sunday Bill do not apply in this
vicinity. While Excelsior" seems to be
our motto in business and intelligence, we
hope it may be equally true OF our moral
ASPIRATIONS.
We understand that our township was
not represented at the w. T. U. Conven-
tion at Napoleon last week. This is prob
abl owning to the fact that we have as yet
no organization here. there are many warm
hearted Christian women here who would
no doubt enter such a society if some per-
sons would come and put them in work
ing shape.
A limited numbe ofour people took in
the "Inter Ocean" last Friday but we saw
nothing that looked like rush.
Mr.. Fred. Huner is building splendid

Your neighbor of the Signal has some
queer ideas in reference to the Pond Bill,
which in his last issue he says will prove
one of the most effective temperance meas
ures ever adopted" In another item on
the same page he says: "We don't antici-
pate any great decrease in the amount of
liquor sold, or drank. The average citi-
zen will be just as thirsty, but the reve-
nues ofthe treasury will be increased"
Some Of our people are curious to know
how he ties the two items together. One
was undoubtedly written for the saloon
and the other for the temperance element.

the residence Of G. w. Williamson, where

stabbing him in the shoulder, cutting
through the clothing and making slight
wound in the flesh. After the blow was
struck the party making it ran away.
Suspicion at once rested upon man by
name John Ream, who had been forcing
his attentions upon the young lady, and
he was arrested Saturday and brought be-
fore Justice Tressler, who bound him over
His case is now in the hands of the Grand
Jury, while he awaits the result in cell

was the cause Of the cowardly act.
