A Nation al DisSrace.

The appointment of the notorious
negro, Hill, to the postmastership of
as large city as Vicksburg, is not
only an insult to the people of Miss
issippi, but a national disgrace.
1t is hard to understand the mo-
tive behind this appointment, espe-
cially when We have before US the
statement of the people of Vicks-
burg that there were several white
Republicans who were applicants for
the position, and that any one of
them would have been acceptable to
the people. But for reasons of his
own President Harrison set them
aside and conferred the honor upon
a negro who is said to be one of the
worst characters in the state.
The appointment carries no ex-
cuse with it, and adds another blot
to the black Republican record-if
that be possible. The people of the
whole state of Mississippi are justly
incensed and have been loud in their
expressions of indignation. The
state is outraged b. this appoint
ment, and the president is condemn
ed. 1t is the gravest mistake he has
ever made, and one that he should
hasten to correct.-Atlanta Consti-
tuition.

The Looted Treasury.

Secretary Window, in his last an
nual report, estimated the revenues
OF the United States for the current
fiscal year at $472, 100000, and the
expenditures at 1920, 100000. For
the next year, ending with June,
1892, he estimated the revenues at
SAG, ,OOO,O 900 and the expenditures
at $431 100000.
AS far as can be made out the Con-
gress just adjourned appropriated
1862 900, 900 for 1891 and $527,-
OOO, 900 for 1892. This will not only
use up Mr.. WINDOWS expected sur
plus of $50, 100000 but leave def
cheney of at least $71 100000, if the
late Secretary's estimates of revenue
were anywhere near right.
The figures here given for the ap
preparations are those of Senator
Allison. and are certainly UNDER
stated. Other authorities make them
nearly twenty millions more. The
fiscal year of 1892 will be half over
when the new Congress meets, and by
that time the deficiency will have be-
come apparent.
Z The Republicans, voted out for
their extravaganza and incompency,
have simply looted the Treasury and
run away, leaving the task of res tor
ing the balance to their successors.

What We II ave.

The Daily Record, of Greensboro,
has this to say of Winston and her
people
There is not a more enterprising
place in the State than Winston
nor cleverer set of people anywhere;
but there is one thing they all do
speak up lively for their town and
the line in which they are chiefly
interested. This is right too, if not
extravagantly indulged in. Our
Greensboro people might take les
SON with profit on this line. We will
give few illustrations
Chief Bradford was down last week
and he is positive that Winston's po
licemen are the best detectives out
of Jail.
The real estate dealers say : The
days are longer up there, and the
nights shorter, the sun warmer-the
nights cooler-more air and water
less sickness than any place on the
globe.
The street car men say it rains
more and their line is better patro-
nized than any in the State.
The tobacco men say they manu-
facture more tobacco than either
Durham or Danville.
And now one of their leading citi
zens, who was in the city yesterday
examining our steam brick establish:
ment Che runs similar one in Win
ston) is positive that Winston has
more mud, redder mud, stickier mud,
and better soil for making brick
than any place in the world.

Old and New Towns Running a Race of
Progress.
Especial Correspondence


NORTH WILKEsBoRo, March g.
A directors meeting of the Winston
Land and Improvement Company
was held here this week and it was de-
cided to erect a handsome graded
school building, to cost $4,000, and
also to consider the construction of
q water works system and an electric
light plant. The company also pro-
pose to donate a lot and 81 900 to
each religious denomination that
will erect church buildings here to
cost net less than So, 900 each.
Sites have been located by the
company, 3O0x4O0 feet for public
buildings, and a square laid off for a
market house.
The new town is on q boom. Lots
which will be put on the market in
about two weeks, are in demand by
parties from all over the State. Par
ties are here from other States pros
pecting for the location of large busi-
ness interests among which is cot

man from Michigan, is running a
large saw mill near the town. He

Several new stores and dwelling
houses are now being erected, and
the indications are that the new
town will make rapid progress this
year.
Old Wilkesboro is also making
rapid progress in the way of i'm

PLUG TOBACCO TRUST.
The Big Louisville Deal Attracts Atten-
tion in Virginia.

The purchase Of the celebrated Ma
tiOnal Tobacco Works of Louisville
by the American Tobacco Company,
better known as the Cigarette Com
bine, of which Lewis Ginter, of Rich
mOnd; the Dukes, Of Durham, and
the Kinney Company, of New York.
are the chiefs, is the principal topic
in tobacco circles. The Louisville
concern is IL plug-tobacco industry,
and it is said by many well posted
tObaccOnists that this is but a begin
ming of the biggest scheme of recent
times.
Alfred T. Harris, of Richmond, just
returned from Louisville, says the
news of the purchase leaked out there
and was much discussed 1t took
the Louisville trade by surprise The
people there did not know whether to
regard it as an entering wedge on the
part of the American Tobacco Corr
pany to buy up a majority of the
plug Industries or not. The concern
-Pfingst, Dierhofer 4 Co.-that sold
to the cigarette people rank among
the foremost firms III the country.
Mr.. Harris could not say whether or
not the deal would help or hurt the
Virginia market. NJ T. Smith, a
prominent leaf trader, is inclined to
believe it will benefit the market.
Other leaf men were inclined to think
that if the American Tobacco Com
pany bought up II considera BILE num-
Der of plug factories and went regu-
larly into the plug business in addi-
ton to its cigarette business, the eff
feet would be to lower prices. One
young tobacconist said that the con-
solidation of the cigarette works has
reduced the price of leaf 20 or 25 per
cent.
Hon. John Pope vice-president OF
the American Tobacco Company,
said that it was true that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company had purchas-
ed the National Tobacco Works,
of Louisville and would run the
concern as "a branch of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company.-Lynchburg

In reply to recent statement by a

twenty-five hundred carloads of grapes
sent out of Chautauqua county, N, Y,
this season, an extensive grower of that
region says q careful estimate shows
that the yield in the old vineyards this
year will be only about sixty per cent,
OF that of last year. The increased
acreage, however, Is expected to make
up the deficiency, so that there will be
about the same amount for shipment as
last year. During the harvest Of 1890
there was shipped from that section
three hundred and fifty-seven carloads,
and there will be about the same amount
this year. This may seem like large
quantity, but If evenly distributed to
all the inhabitants of the country, would
only give them about bunch apiece,

THE INVESTIGATING SENATE
The state TroRsuror to be Examined Firs
-Lotters Of Boyer aud Liyesoy.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Oct 20.-At the ses,
sion of the Senate last Thursday It was
decided that Auditor General MoCamaut
should be the frst witness put on the
stand, but yesterday Senator Finn
moved that the State Treasurer be first
examined, owing to the probability OF
his being called out Of the city at almost
any time by the serious Illness Of his
mother This was agreed to.
Senator Ross was granted permission
to present a resolution authorizing the
attorney general to summon John Bard
sley as a witness. The proposition was
adopted with an amendment empower
ing the attorney general to take similar
action with regard to another witness
whom he might desire to examine in
connection with the case before the
Senate.
All the original letters written by
Boyer and the missing cashier, Livesey,
to John Bardsley. which, together with
those written by McCamant, were main
ly responsible for the calling of the ex-
ira session, were submitted in evidence,
and were followed by the submission Of
other documentary evidence, TO which
counsel for the State Treasurer and Au-
ditor General raised no objection.
At the night session of the Senate
Francis b. Reeves and experts Vollmer
and Faunce, were examined to show the
interest received by John Bardsley. 1t
was shown that S202 900 was received
in one year, Of which $780, was for
city moneys. The object of Attorney
General Hensel in introducing this testl-
mony is to show that about the time of
monthly payment Of interest Bardsley's 9
stubs indicate that he regularly sent
checks for different amounts to the Au-
ditor-General.
This line of examination is to convince
the Senate that McCamant above q
Bardsley to hold State monies beyond
the legal requirement. in consideration
of share of the interest money received
by the late city treasurer Of Philadel-
phia.
The Senate adjourned at a late hour
last night to meet tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.

NIGHT !
BURGLARS VISIT zBRBEY S
HOUSE AT LOST GREEK.
THEY FAILED TO SECURE MUCH
But Mr.. zerbey and His Wife and
Maid Narrowly Escaped Be-
ing Shot by a Hasty
Neighbor.

AT an early hour this morning burglars
succeeded in working their way into Fred.
Zerbey's residence at Lost Creek. They
ransacked the lower apartments and packed
silyerwRre and other valuables ready for
removal They then went upstairs and
while in the room adjoining the sleeping
apartment of MIR. and Mrs. Zerbey they
created noise that awakened the sleepecs
Mr.. Zerbey jumped from his bed and So
cured revolver The burglars became
alarmed and ran out Of the house as Mr.
Zerbey fred several shots from the window
of his bedroom.
But the excitement did not end here
Mr. Zerbey, his wife and the maid dressed
themselves and hastened to the parsonage
of Rev. Daggett That gentleman WAS no
at home and the house was in charge of nil
brother.
As Mr. Zarbey and his wife and maic
approached the house the door was sud
denly opened and five shots were free
from revolver in rapid succession a. tn,
already badly frightened trio. Fortunately
none of the shots took affect.
After explanations the visitors we're ad
mitted and Rev. Daggetts brother apollo
gized. He said that the shots previously
fred had aroused him and when Mr.
Zerbey and his wife and maid approached
the house he thought they were burglars.
The burglars did not succeed in securing
much in Mr.. Zerbeys house. They took
with them pair of opera glasses valued a
$l5 and few other articles. Had they
been permitted to leave the house undis
turbed their haul would have been a gooC
one.
There is no clue to the burglars and it i
not believed that any of them were hit by
the shots fred by Mr.. Zerbey.

Resolutions.

The following resolutions were read and
nimously adopted at the last meeting OF
the Knights of the Annunciation Society,
of Shenandoah:
WHEREAS, The Catholics of Lithuanian
birth and descent, living in Shenandoah
and vicinity, have decided to hold n dem
onstration at the laying of the corner stone
of their proposed new church, on Sunday,
25th instant; and,
WHEREAS, In holding such ceremony
they are exercising right plainly, indis-
putably and firmly guaranteed by our state
Constitution TO all our people, irrespective
Of creed or nationality; and,
WHEREAS, Some persons, through the
societies known as Jr. o. U. A. M Camps
2O6, IL and 1873, of the p. 0. S. of A
have passed resolutions preiudging the pro-
posed ceremony rs a violation of the Sab
bath, and petiLioning the Borough Council
to interfere and prevent its free and proper
eXerc and,
WHEREAS, The Borough Council has
recognized said resolutions and petition
when presented, and has instructed the
Chief Burgess to interfere with said cere-
mony IN the name OF the borough now,
therefore,
ReSoiUed, That, as citizens and inhabi-
tants of Shenandoah, we hereby denounce
and condemn the action of the Borough
Council as unwsrranted, illegal and
bigoted in the extreme; and, in recogniz-
ing the appeal of narrow, prejudiced and
un-Americsn class, concealed behind the
names of certain societies, they have placed
themselves in the humiliating position of a
municipal body, in the freest country on
Gods footstool, descending from their
legitamste position as conservators of the
rights and liberties of our citizens, to use
their authority Illegally and against the
Constitution in order to consummate an act
of outrageous bigotry.
ResolUed That we hereby accept the in
Vitation extended us to participate in the
proposed ceremony and thereby encourage
our fellow citizens in the exercise of their
guaranteed rights on the broad principle
that the abridgement of the constitutional
rights Of any class of citizens is an insult
and menace to all.
