the structure Is three miles
long, the main bridge itself
being three-fourths OF a mile.
That part Of it is composed
OF five spans: one Of them be-
ing 794 feet long. Nine thou
sand tons Of iron were used
in making it, and the cost
will foot up three million dol

A Big Raid In Wilkes.

News and Observer.
News was received heieyes-
terday of one OF the biggest
raids OF the season by reven-
Tie officers in Wilkes county.
A man was running a gov
ernment distillrry and was
also doing an extensiveillicit
business about twelve miles
from Wilkesboro. He had
been at it q long time and;
had over 1000 gallons of
brahdies and whiskiesin store
Some of it was three or four
years old. A neighbor got
mad at him and exposed him
and the venue afffcers
swooped down and carried
off everything. even the dis.
tiller's live stock. Ii tool,

liquor to Wilkesboro, All it
said to have been one OF the

in that section. .Anotherrait

time and there is now about
5000 gallons Of moonslline
liquor stored at Wilkesboro.

The Situation and the Ins syitabls Result


With cotton selling lower
than last year, and the Nc
Kinley tariff depressing the
Southern planters as they
have never been burdened
with taxation before since
the war, they are too ready
to listen to the talk of wild
theorizers who devised all
sorts Of fantastic schemesfor
government relief. They lose
sight of the fact that their
only hope for relief is to re-
main in the Democratic par
ty and elect a Democratic
President and a Democratic
Congress pledged to the abo-
lition of the tariff law which
lays it's heavy hand upon the
products of their fields tn FL
the pockets of the protected
manufacturers. If the Third
party did no worse than elect
its own men to Congress it
would still be able to offer no
good reasons for Democrats
leaving their old party to
swell itsranks. But the great
er danger lies in the fact that
it may so divide the Demo-
cratic vote as to make it pos
sible for the Republicans to-
carry many districts they
could not otherwise control
and they may even, by di-
viding the vote for presiden-
tial electors, give one or two
Southern States over to the
Republicans in the presiden-
tial election, thus insuring
Jhe reelection of President
Harrison. Ii the people of
the South, by wasting their
ballots on Third party cam
didates, give the presidency
and Congress over into the
hands Of the Republicans, the
inevitable result will be the
passage OF the force bill and
disappearance Of all chance
for Tightening the burdens OF
the tariff for at least four
years III Washington

Mammoth Trees Of California.

Mammoth Trees Of California.
New Berne journal.
The article on the "Big
Trees" of California, in your
issue of April 18th, copied
from the Semitic American,
is TRUE. TIE grove which the
writer describes is in Calave-
ras county, and is known as
the Calaveras Grove. When
/ visited it in 1854 it was
known as the Birnie Grove,
SO called in honor of James
Birnie, a native OF this coun-
ty. who discovered them in
1858 while in command of a
party of soldiers chasing ma
rauding Indians, The ac-
count in the Semitic Ameri-
can is within the truth, the
writer does not exaggerate.
They are wonderful. There
is one fallen tree in the grove

the "Prostrate," which he
states is the largest, but does
hot give the dimensions; for
the benefit Of your readers l

were 80 more trees in the
grove when | was there, and
none OF them less than 225
feet high. The mostsymmet-
rical tree in the grove was
then known as the Hercules,
and was 263 feet high. The

Mr.. HanfOrd il estimated. to

the matter over. He has
BEEN here sevelal DAYS, but
hasn't made much progress;
on the contrary he has got
to the end OF his rope, as hi
has been told that after ma.
ture consideration it has been
decided that the littleepisode
concerning his warrecord had
made him an impossi5ility,
and that the best thing he
could do would be to with

ken Alger's heart, but he has
promised to Withdraw. Ex-
Gar Reed could have the sup
port of til g anti-Harrison

Blnine's opposition to him;
it has been rendered to Nc.
