Death of a Former Citizen of Gran

From the Oxford Day we learn Of
the death Of Dr. Lewis D. Cooper, a
former citizen of Granville county,
which occurred at his home in Malvern,
Arkansas on the 10th inst. Deceased
was born in Granville Nov. lst, 1918,
and removed to Arkansas in 1845,
where he practised medicine up to ten
or twelve years ago, when he retired
from an active life and spent the re-
mainder Of his years with his children
at Malvern. The arkansas State Jour-
nal says:
His end was the closing of a life of
usefulness, a life of self-sacrifice, OF
love and alteration of Him who rules

Printers Ink Pays.
Our exchanges indicate by the
spreading ads. of so many warehouse
men that there is a general awakening
among the trade advertisers regarding
the value Of printers ink.-Richmond
Southern Tobacconist.
This is an encouraging sign. 1t
means that these business men are
fully alive to their own interests as we'll
as those of their patrons. And it pays
them to use printers ink. Look at
those men who have made the most
signal success in whatever line of effort
they are engaged and you will find they
have been liberal advertisers as gen.
eral thing.
And in this connection we may state
that last week two farmers from
Franklin county were here on their
way to Richmond with tobacco and we
had it from them that they were Of
party from their neighborhood who
then had 40 barns on the way to that
market. as a result Of the big page adj

where effect is traced to the cause, but
many people are influenced by reading
an advertisement in paper and the
fact is never known.

HENDERSON TOBACCO MARKET

REMARKs:-Notwiths the harsh
weather our market has been full of to-
baccO this week. 1t has come from every
direction, and prices have been we'll suS-
tanned upon all grades, with some stiff
ening upon colOry tObaccos. Our full
corps of order buyers and dealers is now
buying freely. Sales are lively and every
pile of tobacco is watched closely and the
patrons of the Hendel-On market have no
cause for complaint, when our prices are
compared with others. Our stemmers for
the English market are buying very freely
and are running full force. There is more
bright tobacco put up in Henderson (for
the English ports) than any other three
points in North Carolina. This demand
alone gives a live competition for all
shipping grades. The crop is showing up
about as previously reported.

This Time it is Fire, But no Loss of
Life.
WILKES BARRE, Pa, Feb. 6-F0llowing
close upon the heels of the drowning of the
seventeen men at Jeanesville and three at
Nanticoke, comes another mining disaster
which, although unattended by loss of life,
means enforced idleness and consequent
privation to six or seven hundred miners
in Nanticoke. The gas feeder IN the No.
lift of the No. slope of the Susquehanna
Coal company at that place was to-day ig-
nited by men who were driving new open
ings. The feeder rapidly increased until
the flames spread along the face of the
workings, setting fire to the coal and driv-
ing the men to the surface. In short
time the interior of the mine was mass of
flames. roaring like furnace and threat
ening total destruction to the entire under
ground workings. Preparations were made
as soon as possible to flood the workings,
and trough 2700 feet long was thrown
down the slope to carry water into the
mine. The trough was completed this
evening and a large volume Of water is
pouring down the slope. Whether this
will extinguish the flames is question no
one can decide as yet. In any case, the
work of flooding the mine, which is a large
one. may require months. and in the mean
time hundreds of min ers will be thrown
Idle at season of che year when steady
work is most needed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-The senate this

from two to five years. This provision is
made to apply to any stockholders or
agents or persons interested in any way in
the management or profits of pool, con-
tract, combination, agreement or corpora

A Vote Taken in the House on the
Free Coinage of Silver
Amendment
To the Appropriation Bill, and
the Amendment was
Ruled Out.
This WOuld Indicate that No Free
Coinage Bill Can Pass
this Congress.
Sounding the Deate Knel,.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-rhe house was
in committee of the whole to-day en- ap-
preparation bill. Payson, the chairman,
ruled out the free coinage silver amend
ment as not germane to clause to which 1t
had been attached. Appeal was taken,
and the chair sustained by vote of 1874 to
127. The house amendments to the senate
to amend act forfeiting certain railroad
land grants, were presented to senate and
concurred in, and the bill now goes to the
president The action of the house to-day
in sustaining the decision of Chairman
Payson by which Bland's free coinage
amendment to the sundry civil bill was
ruled out Of order, is thought by many to
mean that no free coin age bill can pass
this congress. There were probably some
republicans who voted to sustain the de-
cision of the chair, who himself is a silver
man, because they believed the decision
was in accordance with tRe rules. A di-
suit differently, but it is not clear how a
direct vote on such bill can be had dur
ing this congress. The majority of the
coinage committee have decided that they
need more information, to be acquired
through hearings, before they can vote in
tellRenCIy upon Cn6 FepOTtlNk Oh any Sill
YER bill, and the vote to-day will probably
strengthen them in their position. Silver
men have given up all hope of getting any
sort of a report from the committee to-day.
Bland and Bartine left the committee, re-
fusing to take any further part in its pro-
ceedings, since it was evident to them that
it was not the purpose of the committee
that anything should be done. In doing
this they placed all their faith in their
ability to force the issue before the house
by attaching the provision for free coin
age to the appropriation bill. To do this
it was necessary, as they all appreciated,
to Overrule the decision OF the chair, which
necessarily would be in accordance with
the rules. TO-day's vote was test of their
strength on this sort Of motion, and the
result makes it evident 10 attempt to at
tach free silver to the appropriation bill in
the house can carry. The leaders of re-
publicans do not propose to let free coin
age bill 90 to the president as rider OH
the appropriation if they can help it, as
this would make his position particularly
embarrassing and would probably result
in the failure of the appropriation bill,
making an extra session necessary. 1t is
asserted with pOsitiveness that the presi-
dent has made up his mind that he will
veto any bill which carries free coinage,
even if it should be one OF the regular ap
prOpriatiOp bills.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Feb. 5.-War-

The announcement was then formally
made that, owing to legal obstacles, the

that all the money would be refunded. The
