Motifs Mistake.
From the Statesville Landmark

From the Statesville Landmark
In casting his two-thirds vote for
Blaine at the Minneapolis convention,
it would seem reasonable to suppose
that our fellow-townsman, DIR. j. j.
Mott, has lost whatever opportunity
he might have had of standing with
this administration or the next one,
if Harrison should be reelected. The
Iron Duke was already at a disad-
vantage, having been worsted in his
fight with Capt. Eaves for the control
of the Republican State convention
last spring, and having failed to get
himself elected q delegate to the ma
tional convention from this district.
But he turned up quietly at the con-
vention, and the credentials commit
tee put him in. When this was done
it is very probable that Messrs.
Cowles and Eaves, who were at the
convention as spectators, smote their
breasts and gnashed their teeth in
rage, and it maybe that some of the
swearing which Mr.. Josephus Daniels
alleges that he heard outside the room
of the credentials committee proceed
ed from this source. But, however,
that may be it wasn't long until
these gentlemen were chuckling with
,'ghoulish glee" over the doctors
fatal error in voting for Blaine.

Watterson Gets Mad.

1t would be hard for fool with a
lead pencil to write anything much
stupider than the following para
graph. which appeared originally in
the Chicago News, and yet we find it
reprinted by the entire body of news
papers, to which the business of
editing seems to be known only as a
lost art:
"Henry Watterson, of Kentucky,
the Star-E.yed Goddess of Reform,
has written to Senators Brice and
German, requesting that he should
be allowed one hour before the
Chicago convention in which to make
a statement of his pnsition with re-
gard to the nominations to be made
by that body. No answer has been
sent to Mr.. Watterson's request, but
it is likely that it will be granted"
Senator's Brice and German have
no more right or power to allow Mr.
Watterson one second of time in the
National Convention because they
happen to be members of the nation.

THE STATE FARM.
Some Interesting Facts About a State
Institution.

From the Scotland Neck Democrat
At visit to the State farm, while
at Tillery last week, we met Maj. J.
A. McIver, the superintendent of the
CALEDONIA State farm, who kindly
took US down to look at the farming
operations. The State could not
have selected a better man to mall
age this farm. This is shown by
various improvements made upon it
in so short a time. The buildings
necessary for this work have been
constructed with taste and judgment
and in a manner most convenient
for all purposes. The stockade for
the convicts is a very substantial
building and shaped like a cross with
wings OF equal length. The north
wing is used as dining room and
the south for a cook room. The
east and west wings are used as
sleeping departments. A cellar is
arranged under the east wing where
the washing is done.
We were especially struck with
the neat and cleanly manner in
which this building is kept when we
consider it is the home of 230 con
victs of all nationalities and grades.
1t is inclosed by large. wire fence
II feet high, with two gates securely
locked and guarded both night and
day. They haye the most conven-
lent stables we have ever seen, hav-
ing passage through the centre.
with doors inside and out to each
STALL We suppose this was done foI
quick egress in case of fire. After
examining the buildings the major
took US over his vast crops of 2,75(
acres with the following divisions
i, 500 acres in corn, 500 in cotton
200 in peanuts, 250 in oats and clov
er and 30G in field peas and othel
small patches. These different crops
are wisely cultivated, clear of grass
and with continued favorable sea
son give promise of an abundan
yield. We noticed pumps en- th'
farm to supply team and hands will
water while at work. In fact every
thing seemed to be arranged with al
eye to save time and economic il
the most judicial way. 1t is grant
sight (and looks like old time farm
ing in Mr.. Jas. Johnson's day, VIII
used to own these lands) to see fou
squads of twenty mules each pillow
ing in different parts of the farm
squads of hoe hands arranged il
like manner, with overseers, one t
each squad and twenty-five yard
equally distributed to protect ther
from escape.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
The House went into committee of
the whole on Notifications appro-
priation bill, Mr.. McCreary, Demo
crat, of Kentucky, in the chair.
Mr.. Brsckinridge, Democrat, Of
Kentucky, explained the provisions
of the bill, which appropriates $2,-

to the extent of 81, ,376, ZOO to be ap-
propr1ated hereafter.
Mr.. Grant, Republican, of Yer

appropriation and said the Demo
Gratis should follow the lead of Mr..
S. J. Tilden and their STANDARD bear
er, Grover Cleveland, who was about
to be re nominated (applause on
Democratic side) each of whom was
in favor of liberal appropriations foI

The bill was passed without divis

Democrat, of Georgia, IN the chair)
with the bill to reduce duty on ti1

THE MISSISSIPPI.
Breaks In the Leyee All Along the
Line.

Breaks In the Levee All Along the
Line,
NEW ORLEANS, June 16.-Indica-
tions are that the break in the levee
at Avondale plantation, twelve miles
above this city, will be closed in
day or two. TIE water from this
break has already interrupted busi-
ness en- both the Texas and the
Southern Pacific railroads. All hope
of closing the Belmont crevasse,
which is forty miles above New Or
leans, has been abandoned. This
levee was twelve feet high and the
break is now more than two hun
dred feet wide, and 100 feet deep,
and cutting out rapidly. The crew
asse at Sarapys, thirty miles above
this city, is now 300 feet wide and
100 feet deep. Water from these
two breaks has already inundated
the Mississippi Valley railroad and
will soon cover all the plantations
along the river front. The Illinois
Central railroad will lose heavily by
the last mentioned crevasse. In
Belmont the break force of the wa.
ter was so great that it carried the
Mississippi Valley track against the
Postal telegraph and Southern Bel
Telephone Company's poles, carry.
ing them away for distance oi
more than mile.

The Latest on Snakes.

Mr.. G. B. Conrad, who lives near
Thomasville, discovered a snake ill
the act of swallowing fine mule colt
of his last week.
The Davidson Dispatch must bear
the brunt of the authenticity of the
story. 1t says:
"One morning last week, when Mr..
Conrad went out to the stall in which
the animal was confined, imagine his
horror when he saw the right hind
foot of the colt was up to the thigh
in the throat of a huge chicken snake.
He quickly ran to the house for his
gun, and succeeded in dispatching
his snakeship only after he had fred
two charges of buckshot into his
body"
Only chicken-hear mule would
have allowed its right hand hind foot
to be swallowed by chicken snake
That snake, however, ought to have
been preserved. The SENTINEL knows
some mules it would have liked it te
have met.

FATHER MoLLINGER DEAD.
The Famous Faith Cure Priest Cannot
Save Himself.

PITTsBURG, June 1.-THE Rev.
Father Joseph Mollinger, priest of
the Church of the Most Holy Name,
Mount Troy, Allegheny, and for
twenty years famous because of the
cures wrought by him in the name of
st. Anthony, is dead. His death
was the result of an unsuccessful op-
GRAFTON to remedy a rupture of the
stomach, which was aggraved by his
exertions on Monday, when 10, 900
patients awaited before his chapel to
receive the st. Anthony Day bless
ing.
Father Mollinger was himself a
physician and wrought his cures in
the name of st. Anthony. When
told that the operation might result
in his death, he still demand that it
be reformed. He was conscious af-
ter it and knew his end was near.
Father Mollinger was in his seven
ty-frst year. He was born in Ger
many of noble parents. He studied
medicine, and after he was 80 years
old decided to enter the Roman
Catholic priesthood. As his family
were Prctestants, this determination
| caused him to be shut out of any
share of the estate of his father. He
took charge of the Mount Troy par
ish twenty six years ago, and soor
became known among his people al

YOUNG VS.. THE r. & D. co.

The Railroad Commission Renders a
Decision in the Case.
The Raleigh News and Observer
saws that the Railroad Commission
Thursday decided the case of John
G. Young, of Winston vs.. the Rich
mond & Danville Railroad. In this
case the plaintiff Young asked the
Commission to make a rule requiring
the defendant to transfer cars consign-
ed to the plaintiff at Winston from
the N. & W. Railroad to the plain
tiff-s warehouse in Winston on the
defendant right of way. 1t appears
that the warehouse was built by per
mission of the defendant under a
written contract, and that the con-
sideration of the permission was the
advanta to be derived by the de-
fendant om such additional accom-
modation for freights designed for
and received from the defendant's
road. The Commission held that
the plaintiff was not entitled to de-
mand a transfer from the defendant
except in cases where the cars con-
signed to the plaintiff and coming
over roads were from points not
reached by the defendants line or
connections or where the defendant
could not give as good rates from
such points to Winston as those
given by other roads. But in these
two exceptional cases the Commiss
ion held that it is the duty of the
defendant to make the transfer fol
the plaintiff upon reasonable terms
] This decision was based upon the
terms of~the contract in this case
and the statements made to the
Commission by Vice President A. B
Andrews, of the Richmond & Dan
Vile.

HISTORICAL SOCIETIES.
Prof Alderman Says One Should Be
Established in this State.
From the Charlotte Observer


GREENSBORO, N. c., June 15.-
Historical societies exist in a majori-
ty of the States of the Union, which
have been potent influences in stim-
ulating historical investigation and
in gathering historical material.
Quite three hundred volumes have
issued from the historical societies
of New England and the Northwest;
and in order to investigate properly
any subject in our history one must
travel, or correspond with Madison,
Wisconsin, Worcester, Washington
or Boston. No active historical So
ciety exists in North Carolina.
Therefore it has seemed wise to me-
an individual worker to invite all
those interested in historical study
to meet at Morehead City June 9th,
to establish historical society in
North Carolina, inter collegiate in
character and seeking to embrace in
its membership all historical workers
in or out of schools-young OF
old.
The object of the society shall be
to collect, embody, arrange and pre-
serve a library of books, pamphlets
maps, charts, manuscripts, papers
and other material illustrative o!
State history; to rescue from obliv
ion the memory of its early life and
pioneers; to exhibit faithfully th'
antiquities and the past and presen
condition and resources of Nortl

Another Famine Threatens.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 17.-Official
reports as to the harvest prospects
show that the general outlook is
much worse than it was in the early
summer of 1891. Locusts have des-
troyed the crops in the Caucasus, the
stores of grain in which district saved
the situation last autumn. 1t is inn
possible to hope much from Southern
Russia, where the crops have been
ravaged by worms and by the field
marmot. The position is made worse
by the fact that at the beginning of
the last famine stock of grain was
in store, while now there in none.
