He Will Show His Moral Courase-The AL
lance Growing Stronger.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1-President Polk,
Of the farmers alliance, returned to Wash
ington to-day without having passed
through the dangers of duel with the
North Carolina editor.
Mr.. Polk said to Star reporter to day :
Il do not think anyone is thinking of
duel: The whole story is the
invention of a very sensational reporter.
/ have received dispatches and letters
from all over the country begging me to
show my moral courage by refusing to
fight duel Some OF the letters have
come from Vermont. If anyone wants
to fight duel with me, have not been
Informed of it. The thing is a lot of nom
nense.'
Speaking of the alliance Mr.. Polk said
that it was growing stronger all the
while, and the man who lost sight Of it
for six days was left away in the rear.
The alliance is getting no set back. If
any of the old parties comes out and
takes a stand squarely on the alliance
platform, he says, that party will get the
support Of the alliance, but every mem
Der of the alliance will fight any and all
parties who oppose them or do not ac-
cept their platform without reservation.

Ihe terrible DOWNFALL OF Judge RufuS
X. FerreI Our War Correspondent.
Judge Rufus X Ferrell, at times our
war correspondent and a very smooth
gentleman of the old school has made
many friends in Durham, but the JIG is
up with him now. He yesterday related
to Colonies Postley, Michaels and ourself
the most preposterous snake story of
twenty seasons. He said that his daugh-
ter was crossing the yard and stepped
upon a snake. She called him. and armed
with large and powerfully strong club
he started for the reptile.
and I'll tell you gentlemen remarked
the Judge as he rolled up his sleeve, that
snake was at least twenty fee: long
larger than my arm half dozen times
and had tushs three inches in length.

he opened his mouth at least nine
inches"

tleman walked away. This is a terrible

THE COTTON MARKET.
The Receipts for the Season of 1S90-1S91
Reach 10000 Bales.

The State Chronicle says: The cotton
year ended August 81 and the total re-
ceipts here were 40, 100 bales. It was pre-
dicted by some early in the autumn Of 1890
that $40 100 bales would be about the fig
ure. The receipts were nearly double those
of the previous season, when they amount
ed to only 81 SOB bales. For the season
Of 1880 they were 81 400, and for 1893,
they were 35,513. 1t should be borne in
mind that these receipts are almost en-
tirely by wagon. Cotton which comes
here for compression is not counted.
Mr. Omega Foster says that during the
past season almost $1,000 bales were
compressed. This is far ahead Of the
best work done there previously.

NOTES FROM ESPY.

Rev. Sones, pastor of the Evangeli-
cal church of this place is now holding
religious services in the school house,
their regular place of worship.
Mr. Thomas Rutledge, one of our
esteemed citizens, who about six
months ago, while absent looking
after his interests in the State of N.
Y, was seriously paralyzed, has suffi-
ciently recovered to return, few days
since, to his home here. His many
friends were glad to meet him again,
and rejoiced to see him looking so
well 1t is hoped by all that he will
fully recover.
The parishioners and friends of Rev.
A. K. Glaze and family made them a
donation visit on last Thursday, from
all points of the pastorate. The large
house was well filed with people who
spent the day very pleasantly together
and furnished the minister and his
family with needful supplies to the
amount of $4,000, about half of
which was in money. For this kind
remembrance, as we'll as for other
valuable presents received during the
past several months, the kind donors
have the sincere thanks of the CRATE
full recipients.
There will be no services in the
Lutheran Church on Sunday, as Mr..
Glaze expects to visit his father and
will not return till after the Sabbath.
On last Wednesday, Elizabeth
Ruckle, wife of Wesley Ruckle, while
on her way, accompanied by her
grandson Harry Rice, to attend
the wedding of her niece, near Will
iamsport, Pa, was smitten with apo
plexy soon after alighting from the
carriage at Bloomsburg, and died in a
few moments. Her remains were
borne to her home in Espy, and her
funeral was held on last Saturday at 2
p. m. The sermon was preached in
the Lutheran church from |. Samuel,
,o-IS, by Rev. "A. X. Glaze to a
crowded house, which showed the es-
TEEN in which she was held by the
community. She was born in upper

LETTER FROM MRS. JAMES B. NEAL

Nv DEAR BROTHER

CHI NAN Flu, Sept. 9th, 1890.
Ny DEAR BROTHER:
promised to write to you about
nv fine new Chinese friends. When
we first came Dr. Neal found small
present of eight taels--a tael is an
ounce of silver, equal to about one
fifth f sterling-that had been given
for the use of the dispensary here by a
local magistrate, named Chin. The
local magistrate is called Hsien kwan,
and has control of one Hsien, a dis
trict about corresponding to one OF
our counties and he manages in poor
Hsien to squeeze about 1000 to
1900 taels a month out of the people,
getting far more in the richer ones.
He gets his appointment from the
governor of the province, as do the
higher officers, so this city being the
Capitol Is full of office-seekers OF all
sorts This Mr.. Chin is very friendly
to foreigners, seemingly he is very
fond OF us, and shortly after our arrival
Mr.. Chin called on DR. Neal, and
asked him to call on and doctor his
mother, whose case he thought a
pretty hopeless one--she has paralysis
but he promised to do what he
could for her. In few days word
came that the Tai-tai, meaning some
thing between our Mrs. and the Eng
lish Lady, and pronounced tie.t'e 10
rhyme with die or high, was 'ep
much better, and asking for anot'e'
visit and fresh supply OF medicine,
After several visits they commenced
to be sure the old lady was getting
well and their gratitude began to show
forth. Mr.. Bergen and Mr.. Chm had
been good friends for years but the
ladies had never exchanged visits, One

HON, E. M. TEWKsBURY.

One OF the representatives of this
county, Hon. f.. NJ. Tewksbury, has
attracted widespread attention from
the newspapers, because of a card pub
lished by him, addressed to his con
stituents, and because of the introduce
ton OF bill by HIM in the House.
providing for lien on tombstones
that are unpaid for. He has been
misrepresented, and has been sub
jected to much unnecessary and un-
just criticism. But he needs no de-
fense he is able to take care of him
self, and before the session is over he
will demonstrate that fact to his con-
stituents and his fellow members.
His card contained much valuable
information, and plainly stated the
course which he intends to pursue.
1t was honest and straight forward,
and these are the features perhaps
which attracted public attention, be
cause they are SO unexpected in a
member of the Legislature.
Whatever may be the merits of the
tombstone bill, Mr.. Tewksbury has
gained point on those who first
laughed at it. When the bill was pre-
sented it was referred to a committee
and railroaded through in a hurry,
coming back to the House with a
negative recommendation Its present
status is shown by the Philadelphia
Press Of Monday as follows:
"There is tall gaunt man in the
House who will be heard from fire.
quently, this session. Previous to last
Monday night he was known as
Tombstone" Tewksbury, by virtue of
a bill which he had introduced. The
alliterative grisliness of the title struck
the wits of the House with irresistible
force. Since Monday night the title
has been changed by common con
sent, and he is now known as "Tewks-
bury, the witt 1t is o deserving title.
He won it fairly and if he only sus-
tains the good impression that he has
created, Hon. L. NJ. Tewksbury,
of Columbia, will go down in
legislative history as one OF
the brightest, kindliest, wittiest fel-
lows that ever drew free stationery
or lodged a vote. The manner in
which he obtained change of name
was like this: He had introduced a
bill, about the first in the session, pro
viding for mortgage on tombstones
and vaults. 1t was jeered down and
nega,ived in the committee. Tewks-
bury had faith in the merits of his bill,
so he persisted in an attempt to get
it on the calender. On last Monday
night the word was passed around that
there was to be circus-an event
that usually characterizes Monday
night sessions-and that Tewksbury
and his graveyard bill were to be the
victims for the sport of the House.
When "Tewks" rose to ask the favor
of placing his rejected measure on the
calender, general but good natured
guffaw went up. He took it in good part
When Stocking, Of Washington, how.
ever, got up and convulsed the house
with a speech on the bill the eyes o.

He replied in a vein that turned the
tables on Stocking, foored Lytle, and
made the house yell with his spontan
taneous wit. When ne sat dowr
