Ex-TREASURER HEMINGWAY.
He is Indicted on Three Senar,te
COunts-Case Continued.

Col. w. L. Hemingway was on vester-
day indicted by the Kinds county
grand jury on the charge of embezzei-
ing, S3l5.612,19 from the State Of
Mississippi.
At six o'clack the ex-Treasurer in
company with his lawyers, Messrs.
Calhoon &. Green, and Nugent &
Melville, was arraigned before Judge
Chrisman and the indictments read by
District Attorney Miller, who put the
question ''Are you guilty or not guilty.
to which Col. Hemingway promptly
replied, Not guilty.
The lawyers for the defense there
upon asked that the case be continued
until the next term, stating that Mr..
Leroy Douglass, an expert accountant
had beenat work on the ex-Treasurer's
books for the past two or three months,
and that it would require three or four
months more time to make the exami-
nation complete, that he had already
positively discovered errors in favor of
Col. Hemingway amounting to $6,000
and was now following up what he con-
sidered further discrepancies in favor
more. Mr.. Douglass is going TO adopt
a different line Of work now, by COM
mencing at the beginning of 1876 and
opening a new set of books to cover
every transaction of the office for the
fourteen years Col. Hemingway was
State Treasurer, and in view of this
statement by the expert, a continuance
was asked.
Judge Chrisman demanded that the
motion for continuance be made in
writing and gave the lawyers for the
defense until to-day at O'Clock to get
up their papers.
District-Attorney Miller called the
attention of the court to the fact that
the term of Col. Hemingway's bond
had expired and that perhaps it would
be we'll for a new one to be made.
Judge Chrisman required that two
bonds be executed for $25, 900 each, one
for each Indictment, and released the
defendant on his own recognizance until
to-day.
The first Indictment charges en-
bezzlement of S315, 5,612, Is in three sepa-
rate counts. The first and second
counts charge plain embezzlement.
The third count charges embezzle-
ment under section 27S9 of the Code Of
1880, which defines specifically the
duties of the Treasurer and on his
failure to perform the same declares
he shall be adiudged guilty of embezzle-
ment'
The second indictment charges the
crime of failing to pay over to his
successor in Office the sum of $315, ,612-
10 in his hands on the expiration of
term, under section PISS, of the Code
of 1880.
Motion refused; trial set for Mon
day-JdcksOn Cldlion-Ledger, J,01e 10.

Some Dots From the "WicISed City" of
Il Hot Springs.

DEAR BUCHANAN:-Agreeable to my
promise | shall now endeavor to give
you some of the impressions incident to
my life in this "Valley of Vapors,n >
which is the Mecca of so many
thousand pilgrims annually.
Tonight am forced almost involun-
tarily to eXclaim, ''What a field for the
antiquary."
Some years ago, history tells us,
there lived in this valley only the
painted red-man, and here they wove
those legends and traditions of their
exaggerated imaginations SO graphical
ly depicted by the historian, where
now reposes a graceful city in the val
ley of the Ozarks, under the shadow of
that long range, from out whose base
the never ceasing flow Of life md health
imparting waters carries j)y in its
murmuring accents to untOd thOus-
ands Of blighted mortals.
1t is now past midnight, and silence,
like gentle spirit, broodS over our
sleeping household. All is quiet, save
from yonder mountain side reverber-
ates the husky call of the itinerant
lunch vender, as he makes his regular
rounds, crying: Hot tomalos. Hot
tomalos..' as a fit accompaniment to
the deep mouthed bay of ''the tiger as
it rolls in thunder tones from out yon
gilded hall, and in measured cadence
calls, Ace of Hearts! Jack of Diamonds.
King of Clubs.-Rap. Bang. Whoop..!
Keno,.,-then all is hushed, and, like
a busy swarm of bees, all expectancy,
and with characteristic nipping eager
ness, they adjust themselves and their
wagers and await in breathless sus-
pense another turn of fortunes Wheel.
Thus, on and on they 60, with their
lustful emotions wrought up to the ut
most tension, oblivious to time until
''iocund day stands tiptoe peeping over
the misty mountain tops"
Again the receding sunlight sinks
behind the mountains western slope
the sable gloom of night shifts out the
candle of the day-the tradesman
''homeward plods his weary way and
leaves the world to darkness and to
me- Now the shadows of this wicked
city again begin to fit like evil spirits
seeking whom they shall devour, and
soon, with marshaled cohOrt Of pill
grims, prepare to beard 1.-THE tiger in

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. am ready tocertify to this
statement before justice q the peace
II. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack of
brain fever, my hair all came out | used
such preparations for restoring il as my ply
scans ordered, but failed to produce
growth of hair. then tried, successively,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy I applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair in a few weeks. I think |
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative but liked 1t

for that purpose. believe Ayers Hair
vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now OIL the market"

though he said, 81 have seen no
reason to change the views expressed
in my last annual message on the sub
iect of compulsory coinage of silver,
and 1 again urge Its suppression
But an examination Of the silver
bill as passed shows that it completely
demonetizes silver and makes 1t possl
bic for not a dollar to be coined after
a certain date. If the Democratic
party voted for a bill, knowingly, that
will actually lessen the circulation,
they must be in sympathy with Wal
street if they we're trapped into it by
that Prince of Darkness, John Sher,
man. They must be quite as incom,
petent as the school boy and "hayseed-
ers whom they try to ridicule.
If their organs are branded
Republican, they tell US that our
troubles arise from an inflated cur
rency and that we need a p~rohibitory
tariff, then our country would prosper.
Again we reiterate what we have
so often said, thai on financial ques
tons both snnexes to Wall street are
in entire harmony.
The Congressional Record shoW IS that
the Democratic party has held that
national banks were unconstitutional,
and yet these same p%lutocratic papers
now assert that it would ruin the
country if they were at once abolished.
We ~hayseeders know that they
could not be ab olished until their
charters expire, but we do claim that
another system could be introduced
that would increase the volume and
decrease the rate of interest and thus
destroy them by competition. "
A few of these modern Solomons
now offer US the old Wild Cat system
| State banks cannot issue a legs,
tender; they cannot issue money, be,
cause as the modern letter writer's as
sert, " any school boy" knows that it
would be unconstitutional for a State
or corporation to coin money. If a
State currency is at a discount, the
farmer and laborer loses to the extent
of the discount.
We are glad that this agi
tation of the money question has
enabled the farmer to get money
at 4 per cent. Even this will
save the farmer millions, but the work
of reform must go on until the gov
eminent will furnish the people money
At as low a rate as it now furnishes it
to banks or to Wall street.
Members of the Alliance, stand as a
unit IN the money issue. Be not
side tracked by politicians but demand
your rights and 9 to it that no man
gets your vote who is. not willing to
accord to you the same rights and the
same privileges that the banks nov
receive.

to follow the law that Is recognized
oy most people, and that is, that self
preservation is the first Law of nature.
All such people, therefore, as consider
that their own prosperity is at the ex-
peDse of agriculture, and must neces-
sarily depend upon a certain amount
of ignorance or apathy on the part OF
the agriculturist, are very bitterly op
posed to anything thai will n~eutrallze
those sentiments in him, and, OF
course, since they think their prosper,
ity depends on such conditions they
will not ~patronize anything that will
tend to neutralizs the conditions.
Now, in good faith and all sincerity,
is it not very cheeky indeed for pa.
pers to expect farmers to p~atronlze
and support them when they have bent
their energies to injure him in every
possible way they can 2 Again, would
the farmer be deserving of success in
his efforts if he did not patronize his
own papers and cease patronizing
those that oppose him and his inter
ests ?
This great farmers movement does
not object to fair criticism. 1t courts
it, and will be glad to receive it when
honestly given by any person or pa
per. It's officers also, as public ser
wants, are open to criticism as freely
as any other public men in the coun-
try, and any fair or honest criticism
based upon truth will be gladly re-
ceived and fairly considered. The
objection is only made to false and
slanderous articles calculated to mis-
lead and breed discord for purposes
base and unworthy. Surely, then,
placed upon this basis the movement
of t. farmers and the recommends
ton Of the circular contain such an
element of absolute truth that no just
person will condemn, either the tenor
of the circular, or the farmers if they
live up to the circular in faish and in

OUR NATIVE GRASSES.

The wild fora of North Caroiina
includes about 1870 species of grasses.
Among these there are several peren
NAL grasses of a very promising char
acter. The botanist of the EXperl
ment Station has recently made a col,
lection Of seeds and roots of the
grasses growing in the eastern section
Of the State and also secured samples
of their forage sufficient for chemical
analysis. These seeds and roots will
be planted on the Experiment Farm,
and we hope by cultivation and care
full selection to so improve the quality
Of some of them as to make them
worthy of a place in the best meadows
and pastures.
The Experiment Station is always
glad to receive specimens of promising
native grasses and to furnish infOrms
ton concerning their value. LIE
grass question is a very important one
to North Carolina farmers. The 80
ton has bsen experimenting WIZ
grasses for some years, and IS nov
prepared to suggest information co.,
corning the best cultivated gras8SS
and to indicate what species are mos.
suitable for particular soils. Farme S.s
will be thereby saved from the .OT'
which may be caused by planting CO.

There is something very human in
the saying, ian eye for an eye and a
tooth for q TOOTH" and despite the
Bible injunction that unto him that
smiteth taee on tn one cheek, offer
also the other" mankind is almost
universally disposed to return a blow
by a blow. In fact, so universal is
the tendency to retaliation that it
goes beyond the expression Of anger
in response to personal violence, and
permeates business and social relations
to a great extent. Just at this time
the press of the country seems to be
considerably agitated at what they
call "A Secret Boycott Circular" sent
out by the national officers of the Ali
ance. 1t is heralded from one end of
the country to the other with a great
flourish of trumpets and display of
sensational head lines. Some papers
claim that 1t is an effort to muzzle the
press, or that it is a ruse of the ma
tlonal officers to prevent criticism.
Others, notably the atlanta Journal
and Topeka Capital think that it is a
direct attack upon them and their
methods, and that it seeks to create
prejudice that will antagonize them.
the Economist does not propose to
handy words with the press about the
objects and purposes of this circular,
but will present its readers with the
very best possible evidence, the facts
in the case (that IS the circulr itself,
and let them judge what it is and
what its effect will be-. This is espe
cially necessary since papers noted for
their opposition to the Alliance and
its principles have published extracts
and sentences here and there, and
garbled the circular until it is very
badly misrepresented. If the circular
asks the farmer to boycott a paper
that criticises the officers fairly and
justly for what they have done, or
crlticises their acts as all, then it should
be condemned. If it calls on the
farmers to boycott or oppose any
paper OF account of it's convictions,
fairly and honestly expressed on any
suoJecG IN bnls great big country, then
it should be condemned. But should
. careful reading of this circular show
that it simply calls upon the farmers
TO look after their own personal in.
terest and not patronize papers the
chief object of which is to falsify and
~misrepresent, and by such falsifca.
ton and misrepresentation seek to
injure the financial prosperity of the
farmer and thwsrt him in the objects
he seeks to achieve, it would seem
that the commonest instinct of sell
preservation would prompt him tc
sustain and endorse the circular.
