In CONSEQUENCE of southern competition,
the Thomas Iron Company OF Pennsylvania
have announced reduction OF one dollar
ton in the price of their iron. Southern
iron in CONSEQUENCE of the superior natural
facilities for making it possessed by ita
manufacturers, can be delivered protitably
in the North 30 much cheaper than northern
iron makers can afford to sell their product
that the South must soon attract to herself
all the iron manufacturers of this country
Owing to the extraordinaryfacilities referred
to. iron can be made in the South as cheap
IL as abroad, and were it not for the tariff,
which has heretofore enabled northern iron
manufacturers to carry on profitable busi-
ness even with the heavy odds nature i'm
poses on them, all the iron manufacturers OF
the North would long since have moved
their plants to the South, in order to reap
the benefits of the facilities their southern
rivals enjoy.

barns, trees and fences, with here and there
the bodies of stock either killed or crippled

IT Is stated that in the municipal cleo

colored voters took scarcely any interest,
and that they have about decided Only to
exercise the elective franchise ct president

this feeling is prevalent in other States than
North Carolina, for it looks as though the
colored man is at last opening his eyes to
the fact that he is only tool in the hands

No WONDER the farmers of Virginia have
great difficulty in obtaining negro farm
hands when the T. 8. government pays such
hands from two to two dollars and halt
day of eka hours for moving grass on its
reservations in Washington. The wonder is
that any negro farm hands remain in Vir-
ginia. The government has almost succeed
ed In breaking up the farmers of this State,
for they can not afford to pay such wages.
The benefit the government has received from
doing so has been the increase of the negro
population of thescapital of the country to
the extent of about one hundred thousand,

painted Indians sprang to the front, one
brandishing a large club and threatened
to brain any one who signed. Gen. Crook
stood by with his hand on a heavy chair,
prepared to knock down at the first hos
tile denomination, when the latter were
arrested BY the police and hurried out of

Gen. Crook told the Indians if they
wanted to sign. they should be permitted
to do so regardless of the threats of any
one; matters we're in a bad shape if a lot
of breech clouted blanket Indians who
had just come on the reservation and
cared for nothing so long as they get
enough to eat, were allowed to prevent
those Indians who were trying to provide
for the future of their children from sign
ing. If the police could not protect, he
would bring men there who could. He
wanted it distinctly understood that those
who wanted to sign, would be protected.
Signatures we're then taken rapidly Tor an
