had busy week and are very san
guine. The indications seem to be
for continued good weather.
Here is sample, from a Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Sun, of the items that 90 out
from Washington about Republican
sentiment in the South "Col. r.
E. Young, one of the best known
Republicans of the Tar-Heel State,
is at the National. He says that
the Republicans of the South are
not boiling over with enthusiasm for
Mr.. Harrison. The Republicans of
North Carolina, he reports, are dis
organized, and outside influences
have controlled nearly, all the APP
pointments. otis my opinion %
said he, "that North Carolina will
fail to return Republican Con-
gresham next time because of the
treatment received from the Admin
istratiOn."
Capt. S. B. Alexander, president
of the North Caroliua Farmers
Alliance, announces that the jute
trust has offered the alliances that if
they will 60 back to the use of jute
bagging it will be sold at 81 cents on
time, and that the jute trust will
pay the farmers 50 more per ton for
all of their cottonseed that is offered
at any cottonseed-oil mills. The
Charlotte Chronicle regards this as
proof positive that the jute gentle
men are in bad straits, and thinks
cit ought to be sufficient to encour-
age the farmers in their decision to
stick to cotton bagging."

Justice Field, in response to
questions asked in the trial of Maggie
at San Francisco last week, expressed
an opinion that if Maggie had not
shot Terry he (Field) would have
been dead within the next five
seconds. He said the expression of
Terry's face as he raised his hand to
strike the second time could not be
mistaken. It was full of malice and
murder. Justice Field added that
the story of his having asked Terry
to support him for President several
years ago is all pure fiction.

Secretary Of. War Proctor does
not look favorably upon the plan to
colonize Geronimo and his band OF
redskins in North Carolina, upon a
tract of land provided by the Indian
Rights Association. The Secretary
thinks that the Indians are doing
we'll enough at Mt. Vernon Bar
racks, in Alabama, where they are
now confined. Glad of it. We don't
need them in our business.

The Hon. S. F. Phillips has de-
clined the Venezuelan Commission
ership offered him by the President.
It pays $1,000 year. The most
prominent man from North Caro-
lima mentioned as Mr.. Phillips sue
cessor is the Hon. Daniel L. Russell,
of Wilmington, who is now in
Washington City. He is an ex-
Senator, an ex-Judge, and a good
lawyer.
"Sunset" Cox is dead. His death
occurred in New York Tuesday.
He was the brightest, sunniest MEM
Der of the House of Congress.
Genial, gifted and honorable, he
leaves thousands of mourning
friends. There is no man now in
public life who can compare with
him as humorist except our own
Vance.
There are rumors that the admin
istration deal to make Reed Speaker
of the House is off, and that Nc
Kinley is now the favored man,
Mckinley has always opposed an
extra session, and it is to that fact
III all probability, that this rumor
owes its being.
