A dispatch from Columbia, s. c., says:
"Uncle Billy Bost, an eccentric char
acter of Cabarrus county, n. c., is dead.
He was a bachelor, about eighty years
old. His only companions were two
dogs and an old negro. His real estate
consisted of 800 acres of land, which he
left to his nephews. He had a safe
which was thought to hold thousands of
dollars, but when it was opened the only
money found was a nickel. However, in
bureau drawers, in old ~cupboards, in
pitchers and jars, in old clothes closets,
in old stockings and in cracks in his
miserable house was found $4,000 in
gold, besides a large quantity of gold
dust and bullion and a few hundred dol
lars in greenbacks.
I'm the search a package from a Char
lotte bank was found containing 800
that had never been opened. This was
received by him in 1880. he had corn
and bacon on hand four years old, and
some hay that had been stacked for
twenty-five years. He made his will
only three weeks ago, and there is much
talk of contesting it, for some of his kin
have been left without anything"

NEW GLENRoCK MINES.
Work VIII BE Commenced on Them
in About Two Weeks.

Work VIII BE Commenced on Then
in About Two Weeks.
Mr.. Young. the manager of the Glen,
rock coal mines, was in the city yesterday.
He is stopping over on his way en- route
to Colorado.
The man trouble heretofore in the
Glenrock coal, Mr.. Young says, was the
large percentage of moisture. After the
workings were pushed deeper the coal
improved. 1t lost about 3 per cent OF
moisture and gained 3 per cent in fixed
carbon, and now in the latter quality is
the equal to Rock Springs coal.
The mines were doing well and were
yielding some fine coal when the fire
broke out.
In about two weeks work will be com
menced on two shafts located about halt n
mile from the present site. One will be an
air shaft. The cost of the contemplated
work is about $50, 900.

ICIay Robinson & Co.'s Circular, July 81
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Receipts for the
week will be about $4,000 head, against
10000 head last week and l,2IS head for
tie corresponding week in 1890. The
market closed on Friday last without
change, and everything had been sold;
prices had been checked in their down
ward course. but only to catch their
breath. Supplies this week have been
much the same as anticipated, and con
tinue to come forward IN good to prime
condition. The market opened Monday
with liberal supplies; a few choice cattle
brought steady prices, but the general
market ruled weak and lower. The mar
ket continued on its downward course
during Tuesday and Wednesday, and
values showed a decline of thirty to fifty
cents per 100 pounds. Thursdays mar
ket opened slow, became fairly active, and
the best grades of rangers sold at strong
prices. The highest price of the week is
S4.75, against : $40 last week, and 1885
per 100 pounds for the corresponding
week last year. As au illustration of the
decline we give the following: The Berry

Wants to Import Tin Plate worKmen.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-ActIng Sec
rotary Nettleton has received a letter from
President Neidringhaus of tie st. Louis
Stamping company, replying to Secretary
Fosters letter relating to the employment
of foreign skilled labor for the tin
plate industry. Mr.. Neidringhaus claims
that for the successful operation of this in
dustry it is necessary to have a number
of skilled laborers fresh from the business
as conducted in Europe today. The for
eign labor needed, he says, will not
amount to 10 per cent Of the whole num-
Der of employees. This sort of help can
not De obtained in the home market.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IO.-Comptroller
of the Currency Lacey said today, re-
garding the letter written BY ex-Bank Elk
aminer Drew in which the latter declares
his official action in connection with the
keystone bank, that the department had
treated Drew with fairness and clemency.
"He was charged" continued Lacey,
with derelictions of duty sufficient to
warrant the removal of anv bank examiner
in the service. He has confessed the
same and offers no excuse except that II
was an accident. He claims that though
he failed to do his duty at one time, he
ought to be pardoned because be did 1t at
another. He has deservedly lost the
confidence of the department and public,
and the period OF his usefulness as a bank
examiner is at an end. The statements
made by Drew differing 10 the least from
the facts in my communication Of June
10, are without foundation in fact.
Drew's claim as to previous high standing
is cheeriully admitted, but it serves to
~aqgravate, rather than mitigate, his CON
fessed derelictiou OF duty by rendering
absurd his plea that his official report
ought to have been received with distrust
until corroborated by information from
outside sources"

YOun~ Mems Notes

The Monday night talks at the Young
lar and the hall is taxed every week
to accommodate those who wish to at
tend. Over 100 people were there Mon
day night to hear DR.. Arch Cheatham
tell them what to do in case of acct
dent, and they seemed very. much in
terested, too. No wonder, for it was
most excellent talk, and SO plain and
practical that it could not help but in
struct us we'll as entertain. There will
be no talk next Monday night, but the
week following, March 16, Mr.. w. V.
Savage will speak.
The regular monthly business meet
ing was held Monday night after the
talk. A number of delegates were
elected to the State convention, which
meets soon in Durham, and the eXecu-
| tive committee was instructed to issue
credentials to all who could attend.
Next Sunday afternoon Rev. W. l..
Cuninggim will speak to men only on
personal purity; taking the subject of
''Profanity.'' All men should hear
HIM.
Prof. Alderman, who is now holding
the Teachers Institute for Vance
county in this town, has kindly con-
scented to deliver his famous lecture
''Manners and Customs in North Caro-
lima 100 years ago" for the Young
Mems Christian Association. He will
speak at the rooms on Friday night,
March 6, at 7:45. Admission free and
no collection. The ladies are specially
invited. Prof. Alderman is one of the
pleasantest speakers in the State and
all our people should make it a point
to hear him.

Gratis. The contest is coming, and l
say let it come. l believe we have
God and might on our side.
Now, my friends, do not be fright
ened about this political question.
Seclionalism has been an issue for the
past Is years, but the decree of God
has gone forth that we are one people.
l want TO say that the political cyclone
is gathering, and will sweep this
country in 1892.
Relief must come from the National
Legislature. TO get it the personnel
Of that body will have to be largely
changed. These are plain words, but
they are true words.
Our order was never in more pros
porous condition. By 1892 we will
control, together with organization:
associated with US, between five and
six million votes. What is 1t we car
not do ?

The Nashville Railroad

MR.. EDITOR:-What has been done
toward the construction of the road orr
town voted forty thousand dollars for :?
see that Oxford has obtained a char
ter for a road from that point to Nash
vile which, if built, will turn the vel
low tobacco raisers in the east to the
Oxford market. The eastern counties
are going largely into the culture of a
very desirable grade of tobacco, and
| they want good market for it.. If
Oxford builds road through their Sec
ton, with cheap rates of transporta-
ton, of course she will get the tobacco,
There is nothing clearer than that our
Henderson people, having done nothing
to direct it this way, will lose it.
If the r. 4 D. r. R. Co. are at the
bottom Of the movement the road will
be built. They have the money to
build it, and will use it that way if it
is to their interest to do so. We had
some evidence of their wakefulness in
the construction of their line via Oxford
and Durham, when, with a small out
lay OF money and timely activity, we
might have brought it to our town.
And now it looks like we are sitting
quietly down content to let the r. &
d. Co. build road through the east
ern counties and transport the tobacco
that belongs to our market by location
to another town. With little effort
we could turn the eastern tobacco to
the Henderson market. Our eastern
friends like our market and would glad
ly send their tobacco here if they had
railroad facilities to the place. We
surely have not become Indifferent in
so important matter. Could we not
induce John Robinson to build the road
to Nashville as feeder to the r. & G.
road We want the road to bring the
eastern tobacco to our market and give
actlvt y and progress to our town.
And what difference does it make 10
our people who builds It Sc we can de-
rive the desired benefit from it? 1t
seems to me that Robinson is the man
to build it with our aid) to prevent the
Il Il ID. Co. from reaching out and
gobbling up the freight that he might
by timely action secure to his road.
Henderson should look to her interest
in the matter. Oxford will take care
of herself. If we let her take our
eastern road from us and reap the prof
its of the eastern trade, when too late
to repair the damage we will awake to
the error Of our course. We have the
matter now in our own hands, and by
little foresight we can do much for
our town. But let the opportunity slip
no feeling of regret will bring back the
lost advantage. The early bird
catches the worm'' and enjoys his
breakfast, while the sleepy headed one
awakes to find it gone. With good
feeders we will have town growth.
