The Teachers and the Worlds Fair.

The inimitable and indefatigable
Col Eugene G. Harrell of this city,
after having carried the teachers OF
North Carolina all over the United
States and most of Europe, and hav-
ing established summer head
quarters by the sea" to say nothing
of his late excursion to Cuba, and
his successful organization OF the
teachers of the State, now proposes
to carry every teacher and every
scholar over twelve years old In
North Carolina to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago. He will inaugurate a
series of educational excursions dur
ing the Worlds Fair, and will have
tn arrangements SO perfect and the
cost of going so cheap that every
teacher, pupil and friend of educa-
ton will avail themselves of this
opportunity of seeing the greatest
exhibit ever held on earth, anc
which of itself will be the a grea
object lesson that comes only once
in a lifetime. This will be th'
greatest achievement of Mr.. Har
rell's life and we know it will b
successful.

ASosAA" Wy 4>o"
In just a little while Raleigh
will be on one of the big through
lines. Gen. R. F. Hoke said yes
terday that the tracklayers on the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern
railway had reached point in
about six miles of Atlanta. II Is
expected that the Seaboard Air.
Line will be opened to Atlanta for
passenger traffic by March 1st, and
that as soon as this is done a fast
through mail and passenger train
will be put on the line between
Atlanta and New York. 1t is also
said that this train will run over
the Atlantic Coast Line track be-
tween Weldon and Richmond
From this it would seem that the
road from Ridgeway on the Raleigh
and CASTOR road to Richmond viii
ere long be built by the Seaboare
Airline thus making it independ
ent of the Coast Line. The roat
could be completed in less than
wear and will shorten the distanc
between Richmond and Ralelgl
many miles.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS,
The Reduction Of the Cotton Acreage
Sensibly Handled.

Sensibly Handled.
AT the court house at noon yes
terday the committee appointed last
week by Wake County Farmers
Alliance met in conference with
some OF the merchants of RALEIGH.
The call for such a conference had
been duly made and the presence
and cooperation Of the merchants
IN the county asked State. Senator
A. Z. Green, chairman of the com 1
mittee of the Alliance, called the
meeting to order and stated it's ob.
Ject which was to secure a reduction
OF the acreage in cotton. J. n.
Holding, Esq, read a copy of the
resolutions which the county ALI
ance had adopted, calling the meet
ing. At the suggestion of Mr.. w.
q. Stronach, Mr.. Holding made
motion that Mr.. Green be made
permanent chairman, and it was
adopted. Mr.. Eugene c. Bedding
field was made secretary. An in
teresting discussion of the desired
reduction of the cotton acreage then
began. 1t was participated in by
Messrs. Stronach, r. James Powell,
J. N. Holding, c. G. Latta, A. G..
Green, and others. The merchants
who spoke expressed themselves
with much heartiness as willing to
meet the farmers half way
in this important movement.
There were different views
as the extent of the reduction of
acreage, Some favored 20 per cent.
and some l5 per cent. A few
thought it would be difficult to de-
eide upon the precise amount of re-
ductlon, though the opinion was
unanimous that it ought to be con-
siderable and that nc reduction
would amount to anything and DE
of real value unless there was q
corresponding increase in the pro
duction of home supplies
A committee was appointed, con.
sisting of E. B. Barhee, G. 6.
Latta, Job p. Wyatt, W. c. Stron.
5 ach, j. j. Thomas and j. n. Hold
ing to act with the committee of the
Alliance. 1t was also orderd that
the two committees prepare suitable
y resolutions to meet the views OF tn
: Alliance and have them submitted
d for signature to the merchants am
= business men ofthe county. 1t wa
!, further ordered that the joint com
- mittee take such action as is though
best ii preserving and making pub
l. lie these resolutions.
E. Capt. Nick Allen made motto
/. that each member of the committe
prepare set Of resolutions to b

N of the joint committee. This mt
a ton was adopted. The committe

holders of the Norfolk d Western
railroad, for 1891, says:
At present your system is dis
jointed, your Scioto Valley division
being separated from the main line
by the uncom pleted portion Of the
Ohio extension, consequently the
traffic Of that division is almost
exclusively local. Even in its
present isolated condition il is a
profitable division Of your line,
contributing for the year 1891,
$7S8,954 10 the gross earnings and
$332,678 TO the net earnings Of the
system, and upon the completion
Of the Ohio extension a large vol
ume Of new business i'm both di-
rections will be thrown over that
division, which will greatly aug
ment It's earnings.
Work upon the Ohio extension
was prosecuted continuously
throughout the year and seventy
five miles, including the bridge
over the Ohio river, were com
pleted, of which ffty-two miles
were on the north end aud twenty
three miles on the south end. OF
the grading and masonry on the
intermediate section Of 115 miles,
the greater portion is completed
and work upon the remainder is
now being vigorously prosecuted.
Track-laying and ballasting is in

to work fight ensued. The negro
ran short distance and fired, dan
gerously wounding Lair, who re-
turned the fire without effect and
fell from loes of blood. The negro
then went to him and placing the
