RIOT IN A CHURCH.
a Pastors Personal Remarks Causes n
General Fight.


CHARLOTTE, N. G., Feb. 1O.-During
services in Virginia county church
about thirty miles ftom Sparta, II. G.,
last Sunday, the Rev. Joseph NJ. Strooke
during the course Of his remarks, said g:
"There is man in this congregation
who Is so mean and unfaithful to his
wife that it is a wonder God does not
raiD down fire and birthstone upon his
head and consume him."
The preacher pointed his finger to-
wards Thomas Coleman, who occupied a
seat near the pulpit, and as he did 80
that individual jumped to his feet to in
quired If the parson meant TO be person
al in his remarks. No sooner was Cole
man on his feet than half dozen d.a-
cons were up demanding that he sit
down. Everything was in an uproar,
and an attempt was made to eject Cole
man. He resisted and, seizing a stick Of
wood lying near the stove. he began to
WELD it hard and fast, knocking four
men to the floor and fatally woundipg
Jeremiah Ferguson. One man wrenched
the club from Coleman and dclt him q
deadly blow across the head. Ho then
walked out Of the church and has not
been seen since.
The riot lasted elk minutes and was
participated in by many OF tho congre
cation. who used clubs as weapons
The killed we're: Thomas Coleman,

Full particulars Of the death ofMoro
riBon Il. Avery are obtained from q
letter from Mrs. Moran, of Morganton,
to her aunt, Mrs. Harvey White, of
this city which says: Morrison Ay-
ery's death was 80 sad. Two young
men came with the body. They say
Morrison was taking this wretched ia
grippe" and had gotten some whisky
and quinine TO take for it. His two
room mates passing by the room of an
acquaintance, saw q bottle marked
Pure Rye Whisky" and thought it
would be q good joke to take it out;
and 80 they took it to their room, and
set 1t on the mantlepiece. Morrison
had retired, and next morning when
hs got up, he took up this bottle and
took a swallow Of what he thought
was his medicine, and it was carbolic
acid. He knew In a moment he was
poisoned. He walked to the wash
stand and fell perfectly unconscious,
and was dead In twenty minutes. They
say the roommate who brought tho
bottle In, is nearly crazy. Mono Of
them drink at all, and 1t was only q
joke, taking, as they thought, the
whisky from this other fellow"

TOBACCO CULTURE.

An Interesting Lcttlc Ere III tho Florence
Tobacco King.
The following very interesting letter
on the subject of tobacco culture was
written by Mr.. f. Nj. Rodgers, of Flor
ence, to President Tupper, cf the
Chamber of Commerce of Charleston.
Mr.. Rodgers speaks lex CATHEDRAL"
since he is the man who produced the
crop, and is now getting up fac
tory.
"FLoRENCE, Jan. "a 1890.
Mr.. S. Y. Tupper Pres'dt., Charles
ton:
DEAR silly ours of Jan. % is at
hand and noted. The cultivation of
tobacco in this section has been grad
ually increasing for the last four years.
The acreage the present year will be
very greatly in excess of that of the
past season. Not less than 800 acres
will be set, from the present indica-
tions. 1t will he planted to some ex.
tent in the counties of Marion, Darling
TOP, Sumter, Clarendon. and Laucas-
ter. Nearly every mail brings me let
ter1 of enquiry from various portions
of the State upon this subject AS re-
CARDS Spartanburg las mentioned in
your letter. I can give you no definite
information. I am aware that three
years ago it was tried there, but met
with failure. am confident, however,
that this result was due to improper
selection of soil, error in cultivation
or Judgment in some way. L feel as
gured that Spartanburg can produce
tho tweed" as profitably as any sec
tion of our state when proper condi-
tions are complied with.
with continued success it is simply
matter of a year or so when tobacco
will be the staple and money crop of
this section. In this locality nearly
every farmer will plant it to moro or
less extent. 1 know of many farmers
Qast year being their first experience),
who have made net profits per acre,
varying from $43 to $l12. l know of
one who has heen in the business for
several years, who got on six and one
half acres gross returns Of nearley ST.
500. 1t cost him not more than
$75 per acre to grow and market it.
There is more enthusiasm here
among tho farmers in regard to this
matter than has been manifested by
them on any subject for some time.
The stock of the tobacco factory has
nearly all been subscribed. Twenty
per cent ofthe same is now being COL
lected. A meeting will be held on Fab.
II, when officers viii! be elected. The
matter of establishing a warehouse is
under consideration.
II note your remarks in regard to
tobacco being leading industry in this
state years ago. The tobacco produced
in those days was an entirely different
type, being the dark, heavy varities,
air cured. The product of the present
Is the yellow kinds, which are cured
by artificial heat. 1t has been proven
by practical results that tobatco can be
raised here far more advantageously
than In any section that has thus far
taken hold of the industry. Owing to
the length Of our season and natural
adaptability Of the soil to the growth
of tobacco, we can produce twice as
much per acre, besides the quality of
the leaf being unexacellee.
'Boping the information I have
given will meet your wants, am very
respectfully yours"

INDIGNANT DEMOCRTS.
Some Members Boil With Ruge, hut n
Conservative Spirit Prevails.

conservative spirit Prevails.
A dispatch from Washington says:
The Republican majority of the House
has at last reported the rules. The Re-
publlcans first secured the Hall for their
caucus. When they adjourned there
was scarcely time for the employees to
throw open the doorS and secure a
change of air in the hall before the Dem
ocratic members began to file in to at
tend their caucus. They appeared in
good number, and were presided over
by Mr.. Holman. The only subject dis
.N'aed was the new code Of rules. The
Dcm Gratis were at disadvantage in
that the members were not supplied
with copies, as were the individual Re-
publicans today.
SO Mr. Carlisle was obliged n read
and explain the rules from his private
copy. Naturally this was slow work,
and most of the session Of tho caucus
was consumed in this way. There was
little discussion. Now aud then some
member would boil over with indigna-
ton and expresI himself forcib!y as
some particularly obnoxious rule was
read and it's effect pointed out.
Mr. Springer thought the rules m ant
that the watchman were gagged, the
watch. dogs chained and the treasury
thrown open to plunder. But the gen
eral sentiment was that no matter how
obnoxious the rules are they were asked
for by the Democrats and would be con-
sdered in a fair spirit.
Mr.. Carlisle was accordingly instrnc-
ted to negotiate with the majority man,
agers for proper and reasonable time
to consider the rules in case they should
be reported tomorrow, inasmuct as the
Democratic members are without copies
The Republicans will also be requested to
allow debate of reasonable length upon
GRAFTON, and If these concessions are
granted the democrats will interpose no
unusual obstacles to action upon them

ANOTHER VILLAINOUS SCHEME

HolpinH the Republicans OF Ohio TO Retain
Their StoloH Goods.
A dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu-
tion says:
Representative Wickham, of Ohio,
to-day sprung a surprise on the House,
which has stirred up the democrats al
most as much as some of Speaker Reeds
rulings.
1t was in the ehape of bill to re-.
quire that the congressman elected
from the state OF Ohio to the next con-
gress shall be elected from tho districts
as now constituted in that state. Tho
purpose of the bill is to prevent the
state from being gerrymandered by the
present democratic legislature.
AT first tho bill ap cared to be to
call attention to the proposed gerry
Wandering of the districts In Ohio by
its present democratic legislature, but
MIR. Wickham says he intends to push
it to passage, aB it is based on the
fourth section of the first article of the
constitution, which says that congress
may, ut any time, change the regula-
tions in any state Under which con-
gressmen are elected. The Ohio demo-
Gratis have been counting on the pres
ent democratic Legislature to gerry
mander the state in such manner as
to make at least thirteen out of the
tWenty-ono congressman, demo-
Gratis.
A few years ago the republicans
gerrymandei the state and now
have sixteen of the twenty-one con
gressmen. The democrats up to the
present time were confident this could
be almost reversed, but this Wickham
has fallen into the democratic party
like bombshell, for they know that
the republicans will vote tor it, and
that Reed will put it through, whether
or not the democrats vote. 1t is an
other republican measure to keep their
party in power.
