pestitution in North Carolina.

The farmers in the eastern portion oil
North Carolina are very badly situated
this winter. The cotton crop has proved
almost q total failure, the corn crop lie
very light and no wheat worth speaking oil
was threshed. The failure WAS caused by
continued rains during the summer months,
which kept the lands covered with water
SO much of the time that to raise any sort
of a crop was an utter impossibility.
Reports say the farmers in many in
stances are in absolutely destitute cir
cumstances. For some weeks the ques-
ton Of calling a special session of the
legislature to devise means for their relief
has been agitated, but Gov. Fowl declines
to do this, saying the sufferers must look
out for themselves. There are many poor
farmers in the eastern counties who have
large families to support, and it is said
they have sold most OF their household
effects to buy bread and meat and that
now starvation stares them IN the face.
Indeed, in many instances people are COM
PEELED to go from three to six day. without
any sort OF food whatever.
Negro farm laborers are leaving as last
as they can get away. The farmers do not
try TO hold them, saying they have no in
ducements to offer.

Wool Growing interests.

The ways and means committee on 'hs
Cd inst. heard arguments by representatives
OF the wool-growers.
George. II. Wallace OF Missouri, read a
prepared paper Astounding with statistics
to demonstrate the necessity for main
tanning duties on imported wool and sug.
gested an adjustable tariff which would di-
minish when the wool was scarce and high
in price and Increase when it was plentiful
and low in price.
F. B. Bennett, OF Boston, editor OF the
American Wool Reporter, said that two
petitions would be prest nted to congress.
one signed by $50 persons, in favor OF an
advalorem duty on wool in place OF the
present specific form OF duty. The witness
said that personally he favored the ad-
valorem petition. He was averse to radi-
cal changes, but he belle we'd an ad valorem
duty OF 40 per cent on combing and 30 per
cent on carpet wool would afford sufficient
protection.
After recess G. s. Gibbs OF Greeley, Col,
took the stand and gave a number Of sta
Iistics relative to the cost Of growing and
marketing wool in the west.

Terrible Collision.

friehtfu and fatal wreck occurred at
Kakomo Indiana, on the 31st inst, on the
Panhandle railway. Two trains crashed
together, totally demolishing the engines
and burning the baggage car and coaches
OF the south bound train. which tumbled
on top OF the engines. The injured were
confined to the engine and express and bag
gage cars. George Cummings was buried
in the wreck and died immediately after
being extricated. Tom Mccullough, en-.
aineer, had his head crushed and cannot
live. Baggage master ]. Kerlin, was injured
in the back and head died at 8 O'Clock.
Thomas Harbor, hurt seriously. These
men all live at Logansport. The Adams
express messenger, Giant, WAS seriously
though not fatally injured about the body.
Two men named Woods and Webb were
badly hurt in the general mix up, but not
fatally. A number OF passengers IN the
coaches were shaken up badly, but the
Pullman passengers escaped, many OF the
passengers not being walked up. The cause
OF the wreck is a mystery, as the engineers
of both trains are unable to testify. The
general opinion is that the engineer OF the
north bound tram was trying to make
''sneak" to side track at Jewel, four miles
north, to pass No. IA, which was slightly
behind time.

ADULTERATION OF CANDY
The Alarming Use of Terra Alba in
Its Manufacture.

SoO VI o. - 49,
Its Manufacture.
From the National Druggist.
The Board OF Trade Journal OF Portland,
Me-, is authority for the statement that
about 6, 900 tons OF terra alba were recent
Iy imported through the port OF New York
alone. The only use for terra alba in any
quantity is in the adulteration OF candies;
and when these two facts are put together
they become very significant. The cub
stance is mineral, utterly insolube in the
saliva or the castle juice, and the result oil
eating candies adulterated cannot be Other
wise than excessively Injurious. The devil.
ishness OF the use OF such stuff in candies is
all the greater for the fact that most Of
the candies that are adulterated with
it are used by children of tender years.
The extent to which it exists in certain can
dies may be surmsed by an incident which
occurred within the experience OF the edi-
tor OF the National Druggist. Wholesale
grocery house of ST. Louis made a claim
against the South Shore line for damages
done certain lot OF lozengers manuIac
tured by a Boston house, and shipped. IN
barrels over that line. The general agent
Of the line prucur, d some OF the 'lozengers'
and brought them to the writer for exam
nation The result ri our examination
showed them to consist almost entirely OF
terra alba bound together with little gel
attn or gum 1--WE have forgotten which,.
Further in estiEation developed the fact
that they were simply blocks or forms to
be used in preparing cheap lOzengers, the
method OF use being simply to imrerse
them for few moments in syrups t1avor-
ed with peppermint wintergreen, etc. The
agent, armed with these facts, refused to
pay any damages, and the concern, rather
than rick the exposure incident upon a Law
suit, dropped the claim,
