VOLCANOES IN THE BLUE RIDGE.
Seven Peaks. from wh;cllHeavy Clouds Of
Black Smoke Pour Forth.

AsHEvILLE, n. c., Sept. l0.-Re-
ports received here from a number of
citizens in the neighborhood of Bee
Three Greek, tributary of the Suwa-
nee River, twelve miles east of this
city, state that, for the third time since
the Charleston earthquake, smoke has
for some days been regularly emitted
in considerable volume from seven
mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge
chain. The peaks have cone to. be
designated "the seven smoking noun
tains." The occurrence has excited the
entire region in which the smoke is
visible and many of the people are
alarmed.
J. w. Boone, highly respectable
citizen of the Bee Three Creek neigh;
borhood, has given the citizen of this
place an account of his observations of
the phenomenon. He says that for the I
past two weeks, each morning about 8
o'clock, vast columns of black smoke,
rising to height of about 800 feet, have
issued from Watch Knob, Rocky Knob
and five other Blue Ridge mountain
peaks which are visible from; Blue
Tree Greek. Some people ofthe neigh
borhood visited the mountains and
found that the smoke as it issued
from the peaks had strong sulphuric
odor.
Boone says that these peaks were
first observed to be smoking in Octo-e
Der of the year of the Charleston Earth
quake. That year the smoking lasted
two weeks. 1t then ceased until last
year, when for three weeks, beginning
in September, the peaks were again in
a state of activity. This year the phe-
nomenon lasted two weeks, and has
been witnessed by more than 200 peo-
pie, many Of whose names Boone
gives.
An effort is being made to have Prof.
C. D. Smith, the geolcgist of Macon
County, and Gen. T. L. Clingman
investigate the matter, as many people
have become so alarmed that they say
they will leave the nighborhood.

An Old Joke Changed.
Memphis AValanche.l

Old Joe Brown, of Georgia, had
way Of keeping very dark in politics
until be got down to work in conven-
ton. He was usually a delegate
when there were any conventions
to he held, but never a candidate
When on his way to the convention
which nominated him some attempts
were made without success to find
out who he was for. His wife was on
the train, and friend of one Of the
delegates cautiously approached her.
Mrs. Brown without thinking what
effect her answer might have, said
slowly, "Well, Joe allowed he'd take it
himself this time"

Prof. Norris and others created so
much trouble as to be called obstruc-

Sam Green, in an amusing manner,
moved to adjourn, and at 1.53 this
morning the convention adjourned

The Fatal Ring.
From Vanity Fair.7

I was told singular tale of a ring
while on recent visit to the Paris
Morgue. For near 100 years certain
family of working people in Paris have
ended their lives by suicide. From
father to son, from mother to daughter,
has been handed plain gold ring, and
on the finger of each of these suicides
has been found this trinket. 1t has
been called the fatal ring, and only last
year it made its appearance on the fin
ger of a young man-the last of the
race. The ring was buried with the
corpse. The cupidity of not even the
most grasping bodyinder~ could be
tempted to the possession of this ouos~'
nous golden circlet.

FACTS FOR THE FARMERS.
home hnie in Ireland and the United
states-The sub-Treasury Bill :
Contrasted
From the Macon Telepranh

IRON tne Macon Telegraph.
Ireland, perhaps the most unhappy
countryin the world, has been strug-
Cling for a century for home rule, and
because she has not got it has grown
poorer and been deserted by half of her
people. In fact, a great majority of
the people Of Irish blood live outside of
Ireland. The lesson should be an i'm
pressive one, especially in the United
States, where the people from the be-
ginning have been most tenacious in
their hold on the rights of local self
government; but apparently it is not.
The drift toward Capitalization and
away from home rule, which began
during the confusion of the civil war,
still continues-in fact, has hardly been
checked. For long time the South
resisted this tendency. She was the
losing party, and naturally stood in
opposition to movement which was a
result, in part, at least, of her defeat.
But lately she manifests a disposition,
or rather a willingness, to be led pas
sively into it. The most remarkable
thing about the change is the fact that
this disposition is manifested by the
very part of the Southern community
which has heretofore been most jealous
of the right Of local independence and
most Indifferent to the seductive pro-
misses held out by a paternal govern
ment.
The sub-treasury bill, so-ealled, is
the most extreme form which paterna-
lism has yet taken in this country. If
it were to become a law, it would in
evitably develop in a very short time
into system under which the central
governmentwould absolutely be beyond
the criticism or influence Of the citizens.
The law would add many thousands to
the number of Federal officials, already
far too large, and put the business of
the people practically in control of
those officials. We know already that
almost without exception government
officials are unquestioning servants of
the administration in power, and that
they exert a potent political influence.
Already the distribution of the offices
IS regarded as the most important and
most difficult task of the President and
his advisers. If the number of offices
be largely increased and the Federal
government be made the warehouse
man and factor of every farmer in the
country, the administration may do
what it please and extort an endorse
ment at the next election. No constitu-
tional bar could limit the action of a
government so powerful.
With their cool, second thought
reaction against this bill will come
among the farmers themselves. We
believe 1t is already manifesting itself.
They will not deliberately destroy the
party which has been the bulwark of
local self-government and of personal
liberty for no better reason than that
they wish to try an experiment which
is condemned as unwise and dangerous
by every man in the United States who
has reputation for craftsmanship to
lose They will pause and try to hit
upon something better.n

A Pedigree Ruined.

Poor but proud South Carolina's CUB
ernatorial chair, which is an aristo-

running back to the Tuileries, is to be

not only an Alliance farmer, but one

The Chewing-Gum Habit.

A prominent New. York physician
told me few days ago that the con-
slant chewing of gum has produced
week minds in fourteen cases of young
girls now under treatment, the cou-

too great strain on the head.

The Platform.
1Pickens Sentinel. I

The platform adopted by the con-
vention is sound to the core on the
principles Of the Democratic party.
The State is certainly to be congratu-
lated on this. But in the twelfth para
grath these words are used.
ave demand that a constitutional
convention be called to give US an Or
ganic law framed by our own people.
We believe the present law standing
menace to our civilization and to our
educational institutions, and that.we
cannot obtain any great relief from our
burdensome taxes till this is done, and
we have lost faith in the power to
amend the present Constitution so that
it will answer the requirements"
Because our present constitution was
not made by our people does not hurt
it nor us particle. That is all senti-
ment. Let us talk business. Our peo-
pie have been using this constitution
now fourteen years. They have been
in the entire possession of it as their
own. They have made several i'm
portant and necessary changes in it
when they saw fit. They have re-
fused to change it in several important
matters. 1t is theirs if not by crea-
ton or inheritance, it is by possession
and use.
We cannot see why any one should
think that the constitution is stand
ing menace to our civilization. What
section or article in it is "menace ?''
Point it out. Prove it. Strike it cut.
Our educational institutions have pros
pered under the menace" Who wants
to give the educational institutions any
more financial support than they have
been getting? They are doing well. The
constitution does not fix salaries, and
the amount Of expenditures. 1t is by
no means the cause Of the "burdensome
taxes" There is an easy, cheap and
safe method Of amendment. Why
should any one lose faith in this power?
Those who have lost faith in it are
few.
Who made our constitution any
how? Radicals, negroes and scala
wags? Not by any means. 1t was
made by the best Statesmen that Mas
sachusetts and Ohio ever produced.
The radicals just adopted it for South
Carolina. They did not compose and
write out but few lines of it. They
did not have sense enough. But we
have nothing to do with its past.
What does it promise for the future ?
We had better bear the ills we have,
than fly to others we know not of, at q
cost of 100000.
But at this season of the year, the
delegates did not have time to stay
there and discuss measures at their
own expense. If the delegates had
been getting five dollars a day and
mileage, there would have been some
lively debates on the convention
clause. If we cannot give two good
reasons against it to every one for it.,
we will be bound to take the oath
against duelling.

A Modern Need for sleep.

4There is not one man in ten thou
|4xand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and
women who sleep only three or four
hours a night making very interesting
reading; but | tell you, my readers,
no man or woman ever yet kept
healthy in body and mind for a num-
Der of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more
sleep than they are getting. This
lack makes them so nervous and the
insane asylums so populous. If you
can get to bed early then rise early.
II You can not get to bed till late
then rise late. 1t may be as Christian
for one may to rise at 8 as it is for an
other to rise at 5. counsel my read
ers to get up when they are rested.
But let the rousing bell be rung at
least thirty minutes before your public
appearance. Physicians say that a
sudden Jump out OF bed gives irregular
motion to the pulse. 1t takes hours to
get over too sudden rising. Give us
time after you call us to roll over,
gaze at the world full in the face and
look before we leap.-T. De Witt

Noretta took kindly to her urging and
those watching the manuver through

swerved against Noretta. The illy
tumbled and pitched headlong on the
track rolling over poor Albas, who
had no means OF escaping, while rid

him, but in vain; he died a few

reporters are making prodigious efforts
to get glimpse of the lady's face. Sc
far their efforts have been vain, for on
all occasions the lady wears a veil ex.

agree, however, in the particulars that
the Shah's wifeis OF short and chunky
stature, that she dresses in quiet

are such as to give the impression that
she is a woman past middle age.
Upon her journey this lady is at

When the Paris exhibition Of 1867

and in the principal role OF La
