Andrew Carngie, the steel
king Of Pennsylvania, who
makes several millions Of clear
profit each year under cover of
the swindling called protection,
has presented his resident town,
Allegheny, with a Free Library,
costing q hundred or two thou
sand dollars. President Harri-
son, whose election is to no lit
tie degree due to the votes bought
with Carnegie's money, went
down and made the presentatio
speech. The papers are talking
of the magnificent and generous
gift. If / make 800 a year
(and what little l do get is hon
estly made) and give so cents of
it for a public library in Clin-
ton, no President would make
a speech nor would big newspa-
pers nor little ones either glOri-
fy the act; yet / have done more

\ COMING TOWN.
The Prosperity which has Befal-
len AutryyiIie, on the T.. r. Il
Wv. Railway.

Capt. }. l.. Antrv, of the boom
ing town of Autryville, o? the
Cape Fear and Yadhin Valley
Railway, was in the city on bus
iness yesterday. In a few min
utes chat with him Messenger
reporter learned that Autry-
ville's boom is III a very healthy
state just low and that there is
most fiattering prospects for a
live and prosperous town to
grow up there. y few.weeks
ago there was only one store
there but there will be five just
as soon as the buildings now un-
der construction can be compile
ted. The town has been regu-
larly laid out into streets aud
blocks. The main street will
be called Gray street in honor
Of the distinguished president
Of the G. F. & Y. ", while an
other has been designated as
Williams street in honor of Mr..
A. B. Williams, a prominent and
enterprising citizen of Fayette-
vile. There is also street
called Clinton, after the county
site of Sampson. and there are
Church street, Mill street, West
ern street and River street.
a hotel has already been built
and opened for business, pref
ty Baptist church will soon be
under way and a handsome
building is to be erected for a
high school. Besides all these
several residences have been
built and others will shortly be
commenced, 50 that the sylvan
echoes will ere long be awaken
ed by the music of the hammer
and saw as they never have been
before. The fact is the prospects
about Autry vile are such that
even T. newspaper is talked of.
We ale informed that Capt.
Autry sold twenty-five lots at
$4,000 each last week and that
among those who invested were
Capt. A. B. Williams and Mr.. F.
R. Rose, of Fayetteville, Major
L. d. Love, of Wilmington, Prof.
G. l. Smith, of Clement Model
School, of Autry, Mr.. L. W.
Strickland, of Cumberland, Mr..
j. M. Startling, Of Godwins, and
Messrs. A. E. Royal, J. T. Will
liams, J. B. Autry and S. J. Fair
cloth, all young men of Samp-
son county. Those VINO have
bought lots are now congratula-
ting themselves as there has
been a very rapid increase in
values within the past few days.
One of the parties who bought
lot a few days ago refused $155
for three-eights Of the lot which
he had Observation-Disclosures

The farmer is the innocent
with whom the ProtectiOnists
sport. He has been fooled with
a mystical home market for
nearly a hundred years, and now
he is informed that there are
further welcome surprises in
store for him. He is to be bless
ed-.vlth duty on barley, eggs,
dressed poultry and nearly all
other farm products. His horses
are to be protected. Dear old
farmer! How glad he will be
to know that if any one is fool
ish enough to import farm pro-
ducts which are begging for a
market at home the improyi-
dent man must pay a duty. And
this welcome surprise is to make
the farmer hilariously happy
when he pays his taxes OH his
clothes, on his transportation
over protected rails, on his din
ner-can, on his agricultural i'm
plements, on his house and
barns. A few more such wei
come surprises will ruin the
American agriculturist beyond
redemption.-New York World

ABOUT A MORTGAGE.

Mr.. Vim. A. Faison hands us
the following clipping, which
we take pleasure in reproducing,
hoping that its careful perusal
will tend to sever the too inti-
mate acquaintance which some
of our people now have with
the aforesaid mortgage:
"The editor of the Santa Anna
Standard, having Just succeeded
in paying a mortgage on its
ranch in Orangethrope, rejoices
in the full ownership of '61 acres
Of as fine land as California
boasts His experience With
the dead pledge'-now so hap
PLY past-moves him to wise
reflections, as follows: "A mort
gage is queer institution. 1t
makes a man restless and keeps
him poor. 1t is a strong incen-
tive to action and d wholesome
reminder of the feeting months
and years. 1t is fully as SYM
bolical in It's meaning as the
hour-g lass and scythe, that rep
resents death. A mortgage also
represents industry, because it
is never idle and meyer at rest.
1t is like a bosom friend, the
greater the adversely the closer
it sticks to a fellow. 1t is like
a brave soldier-it never hest

greater its strength. 1t will ex
excise feeble energies and LEND

no matter how hard the debtor:

right thing in trying to get a
small appropriation of $4,000
from Congress to enclose and
otherwise improve the ground
upon which the battle of MOore's

~aM NE Of the popular institutions of
u.s. R Washington just now is the Dunn
NJ &c blame Hunt Club. The clubs ex-
W istence has been short in time, but
its successes have been so great that
it is well established. The Dumblane Club has
been source of good deal of pleasure to its
members and of considerable profit to the local
physicians and has III its earlier hunts afforded
considerable amusement to the uninitiated
but outside of all these the club has
d much higher mission. 1t has set out and has
most certainly accomplished great deal in a
short time, to encourage the breeding in this
country and this neighborhood of class of
horses sadly lacking in America-that Is. goo d
cross-country weight carriers; automatically
good all-round horses; speedy for a
dash; bone and muscle for a
hill. able to carry your 40 pounds without
fiinchng and at the same time making excel
lent carriage horses. In short, the dream of
a horscmans heart, but as yet seldom foun i
IN this country. England has them in abun-
dance and the gentlemen in America are
awakening to the fact that it is possibility to
breed such class in this country.
THE RACE MEETING.
The race meeting at Ivy City on Thursday
and today is the last success achieved by the
club. Few events in Washington during the
winter have drawn together such fashionable
audience AS clustered i'll the grand stand
strolled around the pool lawn or cheered their
favorites from the taliy-hos drags, VIC
torias and dog carts on the infield at
Ivy City Thursday. The United States
Senate to casual observer seemed to have
given up the discussion of weighty matters of
state and adjourned to the track to talk over
the enhancing topic of weak fore legs,
and In.
the occasion showed at glance the great popu-
larlty which the Dumblane Club has attained.
and 1t might be we'll to glance at the steps in
Its progress.
The annual race meetings are only side
issue with the club. Good, rough cross-coun-
try riding Is what they are after and as the
books OF several physicians can show is lust
what number of the members have found.
THE ORIGINATOR OF THE cLUR.
Mr.. Arthur Herbert can claim the honor of
being the originator at least OF the germ of the
present organization. A years ago last fall MIR,
Herbert. then being the secretary to the British
legation, collected pack of scrub hounds. In
company with a number OF his friends Mr.
HerDert hunted these hounds during the
fall. The real start of the Dumblane Club.
however, dates from the arrival in Washing
ton from New York of Mr.. 5. s. Rowland who
proposed to spend the winter in this city
Alr. Rowland was a wealthy and well-known
ilis vile, WSA huUNH III WaSnlng-
ton society, is a daughter of August Belmont.
Mr.. HowLASD's ADVENT.
Mr.. Rowland was great acquisition to the en-
bryo hunt club. His farm in the Genesee
valley in New York had been for some time
noted for the excellence Of the jumpers
and cross-country horses which it fur.
nlshed to the clubs around New York city.
For the United States the Genesee valley
is at present the nursery of the steeplechaser
and Mr.. Howlsnds steed stands at the head Of
