RASsoM's WORK.
Senator Ransom yesterday delivered

ton. For three hours and bali. 70
large and cheering audience, Senator nan;
som exposed the fallacies OF Generai
Weaver and his platform. The Senator
in his remarks avoided and utterly dis.
caTded Wesver's war record. but dlscussen

cruel war and after peace had been estaD-

A word about Elias Carr, our candidate
for Governor. | take pleasure In saying

at Bingham School. later at the University
of North Carolina and the University OF

educated, modest, uuassuming gentleman,

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
The crops of cotton through North
Carolina are poor; tobacco is poor. Hog
and hominY and bread crops are better
than the writer has seen them for years.
Passengers through Greensboro this morn
ing report the cotton crop Of the Loulsl-
ana bottoms and the South short-very
short.
Court is in session here, Judge Conner
presiding. One very important murder
case will be taken up to-day.
Coasting around yesterday, seeking IN
formation here and there about Green's
boro', we were struck with the many i'm
provements which have taken place
since our trip here 70 noble old Gulltord
county five years ago. The streets are
paved, an eiectTic-mu'e street railway runs
through the town. and electric-lights
CLEAN from pole to pole.
PoLED ALL OVER.
Greensboro knows no north pole and
no south pole. but is poled all over. and
last, but not least, will poll round Demo-
cratic majority in the coming election.
Energy and enterprise has brought many
advantages here for concentrating trade,
intelligence, fine arts, and learning. Here
we find the North Carolina Steel and Iron
Company's large plant, Just completed. II
will commence work in the near future.
The Greensboro EvapOratlng- Works, tor
the manufacture of fruit-evapOratOrs, -
here; two cotton-mills; large female col
lege Just opening with encouraging pros
poets: furnaces and machine-shops IN full
blast: staye- and sash-fsctorles, and other
industries-all new TO this writer.
Under State Appropriation or $4,000
and city donation of site and $50 COO, with
Professor c. ID. McIver (whose name IS
known as an educator all over this broad
land) as president. we find the state Nor
NAL and Industrial School for the educa-
ton OF women. The buildings are well
designed. and we bid the president aad
his noble wife God-speed in their grand
work.

here are our books and they show 500
graduates, all of whom have been treated
here since October, 1891" We find that less
than per gent. of these have fallen
through, and most of these were not men
of four-weeks' course, as prescribed and
advised on matricuation.
All those connected with the institute,
except DIR. Rem, who never drank, have
taken the course.
