The bill just passed only aggravates all
the erstwhile pretences and deceptjons Of
the Republican party. As stated, il in
creases the tariff taxes on nearly all kinds
of manufactured articles. If it were for the
benefit of the mechanics their wages would
be increased in similar proportion. But
what intelligent mechanic does not know
by experience that while an increase of
tariff taxes will enable the Republican
party managers to sfry more fat" out of
the benefited employers to be used in per-
petratipg election frauds the mechanics
wages will not be increased one dollar?
What intelligent mechanic does not recog-

who live by the sweat of their brows money

The doctor was, on the contrary, excep-

tales and made jokes until the hostess was
delighted. She was even more pleased

''such an affable gentleman.

The prevalent belief that architects esti.
mates are too low, fostered by those whose
interests such a belief will serve, is unfor.
tunaue for owners, because it leads many of
them into signing contracts that are too
high. That there are occasional mistakes
in estimating and that there are a few
architects who habitually estimate too low,
is admitted, but to accuse the entire pro-
fession is as absurd as to say that all physi-

ranks.
The imitators land they are few are the
"quacks" of the architectural profession.
Never having originated design, they are
unacquainted with the materials and labor
required for construction. Usually they
abuse other architects, especially those
from whom they have borrowed most
literally, and they proclaim their "origin.

THIS WEEKS Lexington Ledger says
that the Indian Hill Farmers Alliance
met at Miss NJ P. BECK's, member of
the order in Davidson county, on Satur-
day, the 22nd Of March, 1890, and built
ninety pannels of fence, and repaired
1873 pannels more fof her, as she was
not nble to do the work herself. If ''the
injury of one is the injury of ALL" as
the CHRONICLE truly believes, the need
of an unfortunate member ought to be
the occasion for all to render aid. The
Indian Hill Farmers Alliance has set g
good example to other Alliances in the
State, and preached a sermon of a;
much truth and power as any minister
will proclaim from the sacred desk to
day. ''Inasmuch as you nave done il
unto the least of these my little one

tCor. of the STATE CHRoNICLE.]
The congregation of the Presby yterlan
church met last night for the purpose
of considering the question of building
new church. They decided to build
one and appointed a committee to draw
plans for the same.
The Durham & Northern railroad
will soon commence to extend their line
so as to take in Oxford. This will be
of great convenience to the people here.
All of the different stores and busi-
ness houses looked like they had all
they could do. They report that the
trade here is all they could ask for.
A large field near here caught fire,
and presented beautiful sight SO those
who saw it. No damage is reported.
The wind had full sway over every
thing last night. The temperature
commenced falling about 7 o'clock, and
fell about twenty degrees.
The citizens here are fixing up their
! front yards and sidewalks. This gives
the town a better look, and i'm mpresses a
stranger more than any thing else.
There are six large tobacco warehous
es here and they are all doing good
business. The breaks yesterday were
not as large as they ought to have been
but the grade of tobacco was finer and
the prices better.
