OUR COTTON MARKET.


Say what you will Cotton is still
King in the South, and though our
farmers, we are glad to say, are more
and more diversifylng their crops
and raisin more of their "home sup
plies" the crop that brings the
money for needed purchases is cots
ton:-and nowhere does cotton find
reader sale and at higher prices
than here in Goldsboro, and no
where else can the farmer, after he
has sold his cotton at such
prices, find goods cheaper-no
natter what his needs are, than
right here among our merchants.
These are facts, and these facts are
already known to our farmer friends,
near and far, and the consequence
is, tEat throughout this entire cots
ton belt for forty miles around farm
ers are bringing their cotton to
Goldsboro. These facts-these
advantages in the price paid for cot
ton and tie price charged for mer~
chandise-make quite large SAYS
ing for the farmer in the run of a
year. and the more they experience
and realize these great advantages
afforded them on the Goldsboro mar
ket the further the news spreads, and
tie cotton comes and the trade of
our city increases-and it is because
of this constantly increasing trade
that our merchants are enabled to
sell goods at lower prices than they
can be purchased elsewhere, because
having to buy in greater quantities
themselves to meet the growing
demand they get proportional
reduction from the manufacturers and
wholesale merchants at the North: be
sides tn still further advantage our
merchants enjoy in reduced freight
rates, By reason Of comepeting rail
roads to all the great centres of
trade.
Such is the history of Coldsboro's
trade, as the years come and go, ever
increasing, ever lengthenining, ever
widening, never faltering. Goldsboro
looked the recent financial panic
squarely in the eye, and did not
quail. The worst is past and Colds
boro is all right. We have the best
town in the country-and no mistake
about it. But we must not rests on
our oars; or think We have reached
the acme beyond which there is no
room for improvement. We can yet
move forward. No place anywhere
posses superior advantages or offers
stronger inducements for what goes
to make great city-the establishs
ment of Industries large and small;
for here the raw material is at hand
or contiguous and competitive rails
roads afford advantageous freight
rates to the markets and ports of the
Country. A healthful climate, fruit
full soil, good society, plenty Of
churches, and the best public schools
anywhere in the land invite the best
classes of people seeking homes to
come and join the old citizens who
haye accomplished these results and
a.d in building large and prosrer-
Gus city.
Inevitably both men and money
will come, but they will come more
quickly as eur cotton trade ins
creases. Great is our cotton trade
now, but infinitely greater, better is
it going Co be year by year, as the
farmers near and far learn and real
ize that it is to their advantage to
make Goldsboro their market town
for selling and buying,

VOTING BY MACHINE.

The greatest improvement in political
methods during the past few years in
this country has been the adoption Of
the Australian system Of secret voting
in more than half the States of the
Union. Sometimes it has worked in
favor of one party. sometimes OF an
other, but generally against the dominant
faction and always in the direction of q
more unbiased expression Of the peoples
will. With the banket ballot feature it
seems almost perfection. But now
comes a pew proposition which appears
to secure the same results with greater
accuracy and ever less danger of fraud
10 use a machine which will automatic
ally record all the votes in secret.
This machine is so arranged that no
one can know how the voter has used
his privilege. absolutely prevents repeat.
ing and intimidation aud facilitates
counting by adding up automatically all
the votes for each candidate, giving the
total result at once on the close Of
the polls. There was q objection
which seemed insu~perable-it did not
provide for a man who wished to
cast a scattering vote for some one
who had not been named by any
party. This has now been remedied by
adding a blank column, in which the
voter can write or print any name he
shooses.-New York Herald.

TOBACCO A. An ASrIporE.

A New York dispatch Of the 9th inst.
says: Considerable discussion has been
aroused il medical circles by the state
ment Of a prominent physician Of New
York city that tobacco is a powerful
agency in the prevention Of cholers.
Opinion ia divided, but it seems to be
the belief Of : majority that the weed is
efhcacious TO a certain extent. There are
prophylaetic advantages of tobacco
smoking, and ever as far back as the
seventeenth century medical men adj
advised their friends to smoke in times
Of great epidemics. 1t has been notice
able in this part OF the country that
in times Of great epidemics those work
ing in the tobacco factories have been
almost exempt from the diseases. Ex-
perimenss have been made recently
which are said to prove that the smoke
Of tobacco on the micro-germs Of carries
is very beneficial. Recent experiments
have been made il Europe with tobacco
smoke upon cholera bacilii and the
germs we're destroyed or rendered harm
Iess in proportion TO the strength OF the
nicotine in the cigars. All Of the germs

waited on geIatine substances, and in the
human system there would, Of course, be
a difference. The subject Is likely to
receive the attention Of medical experts
this Summer in all the large centers.

Astronomers report great disturb

a series of commissions which are very
terrible. The storm in Milwaukee and
Mississippi reported recently are bat
combinations Of the same calamities,

papers almost ever day for the past
month. Whenever the spots IN the
sun are very numerous there is sure to
follow a round Of epidemics on the
earth. They may be only condolences,
bat observations for years have shown
them to be facts, and scientists have
tried TO explain why those disturb

the atmosphere Of this world. OF

speculation in all this, but certain it is

fact that Just now the earth is passing

FAILED TO CONE TO TERMS.

A Washington dispatch OF April 25
says: At the Cabinet meeting this after
loon Secretary Carlisle brought up the
proposition OF the New York bankers to
supply under certain conditions the
Treasury Department with gold. 1t was
very thoroughly discussed and finally
rejected. What this proposition was is
not known here, as Secretary Carlisle
declined to make its terms public. 1t
was not, however, considered advan.
tageous to the Government. This is the
elimination Of several propositions sub
mitted, M of which was declined last
Saturday. A counter proposition was
then made by the bankers to the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury which was received
last Monday. This was also rejected,
and in turn the Secretary submitted a
proposition to them which they. also re-
fused to accept. All the negotiations.
therefore, between the Treasury De-
partment and New York bankers are of
at least for the present and Secretary
Carlisle will look in other directions to
continue to replete the Treasury gold.
The administration does not desire to
issue bonds and will not do so except as
q last resort.

And now it turns out, just as we sup.
posed il would. that the Sandwich ISL
ands annexation scheme was a job on
the part of the sugar growers. We don't
want those islands. The people who

with their dusky Queen, but a few
traders have managed TO coax a small
sized revolution into existence and make
a tremendous display. 1t was mostly

can people.-New York Herald.

com AND SHERMAN NOTES.

II the Secretary Of tie Treasury Eoes OF
redesming 10 gold the legal tender silver
certificates issued under the Sherman
Act OF 1890, says the S.. Louis Repub-
lie, it will he impossible to keep gold in
the Treasury, and there is no limit to
the amount OF gold he will have to
borrow for the taxpayers to pay
interest on. Surely it Is false economy
to impose an interest charge on the peo-
pie for circulation, as must be the case
whenever gold is borrowed st interest to
avoid paying out silver 90 these certif-
Gates.
As soou as the Secretary Of the Treas
ury shows that be means to redeem the
sherman silver bullion certificates in
coin manufactured from the balliou on
which they were Issued. the call on the
Treasury for gold will stop. The Sher-
mar certificates will 90 into circulation

ton ever enacted in this country.
Common sense and common justice
demand that the silver in the Treasury
be treated as lash in fact - il il in Law
and used to meet the obligations as
sumed by the Government in issuing
the Sherman legal tender notes on de-
posits Of silver bullion.
BY what logic is . note that is a silver
certificate at the issuing window Of the
Treasury treated as 4 gold certificate IL
the next window II silver is good
enough to issue these certificates on,
how and Why does it, Immediately after
the issuance, cease to be good enough to
take them up in How long can any
sensible person think the people will
stand it if every ounce Of silver de-
posted is presumed in the Treasury
policy TO create a debt against the
people which they must meet by Dor
rowing gold and paying interest on it
Is may be possible for some to con.
ceiye a more absurd or a more ruin
Gus policy than this, but we are free to
confess that We cannot. Il seems to
us that, If it is followed out to its
logical conclusion, it means ruin. Ger
tainly there is neither common sense
nor common honesty nor common de-
ceucy in it, and until the Harrison ad-
ministration imposed this policy on the
country we had been accustomed to
think that there must be At least some
pretense of these in the administration
Of the Treasury.
The country looks 10 Secretary Car
Isle TO show that he is thoroughly
master OF what is, after all, a very
simple situation. The question is:
''Shall silver certificates be paid in sill
yer or shall the people be taxed to
raise gold to pay them in"

The polygsnaoss Normons and Sen
tiles Of Utah are doomed 10 disspPOlnt-
meat in their desire to be annexed 10
Nevada at the next session Ct Congress.
IL Is claimed by some that all that IS
necessary to be doos is to get the con
sent oil Congress by legislative Act, and
the consent OF the state Legislators,
aud i Is maintained that our LegisiA-
sure two years ago declared NevsdAs
acceptance Of any territory ,hss Cen
rress might give is, AID shat, therefore,
the matter rests entirely'witb Congress
But section one Of orr constitution has
something to say pertinent to this qaes-
ton. 1. defines The boundary Of the
state, and provides that "~whsasoevef
Congress shall aushorizs the addition TO
the Territory or State Of Nevada Of any
portion Of the territory or the eassery
border Of the foregoing defined limits,
not exceeding 10 extent me degree OF

embraced within and become a part Of
this State.
ThisAdditionsl territory has already
been added. The Legislature has no
more right to acesP. Of any mule terri
tory than it had to give territory away.
Before D territory eau be added to or
accepted by the Legislature the eonsti-
tuition will have to be amended in the

alton or acceptance. So. whatever ter
ritory Congress may see 1T TO give to

Secretary Carlisle was in New York
last Saturday, and knowing all the gold
bugs had been doing their level best TO
force all the free gold out Of the coun-
try for the purpose Of compelling
the Treasury Department to increase
our national debt by the issue Of
bonds, not one of them could get a
word out of him as to what bis inten-
tions were. Carlisle was once an open
advocate Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, and as the gold bugs
have been worse than ever Of late it
may be that he has an idea Of putting
down the brakes upon them. As this
is the only thing that can save the
administration from overwhelming de-
feat. it is quite likely that Carlisle sees
it.-Virginia Chronicle.
