RussELL's INSPIRATION.
OLD PLANTATION LIFE.

Thomas Nelson Page has also achieved marked
success in this line of literary work. He has
adopted his method the recital of events OF
times and plantation life by some old fashioned
darky.
One TO read his stories would doubt whether the
graybaired mann mics and uncles of the old planta-
tien ever realized the happiness in their freedom
that had been theirs with their old masters when
they never had care nor thought for the NOR

Board Of Aldermen.

The board of aldermen met Monday
night.
Mr.. J. W. Keerans appeared to hear
the action of the board on the subject Of
the license tax on the Oil Company. The
full committee On license not being pres

subject was postponed until the next
meeting, when final action will be taken.
The petition of s. s. .McNinch, that the
trees in front of his residence on North
Poplar street be saved, was granted, he
to pay any expense of building walls
around them for that purpose.
Messrs. Cramer, W. F. Dowd, and A. G..

Il Co., were granted license to sell liquor
on East Trade street, the latter at the
corner of Trade and College streets, they

eral.
Mr.. B. W. Butler sent in his resigna-

THERE is nothing truer than the hack.
neyed phrase "don't want to see." The
class of those who don't want to see is
very large at this particular time. The
Richmond State says: These are the
men who do the long.faced act, and whine
of hard times, and insis: on making them
out worse than they are, and refuse to see
any glimmer of improvement ahead. 1t
is simply because "they don't want to
see." A candid, unprejudiced view of
the situation shows steady trend in the
way of general improvement. When
such an assertion is made the regulation
whimperer replies by citing strike here
and suspension there and groans in his
grave-tone voice, "Does this look like
improvement ?" He forgets that a year
ago each day recorded q shut down or q
failure in the big manufacturing districts.
Since that day the record shows steady
resumption. A year ago many banks
used the clearing house certificate, today
it is unknown in any part of the United
States. The croaker, the growler, the
long-faced wilmer is not helpful to his
community, his church, the body polite
or mankind in general.

The People of North Carolina.

In another column is published an
article from the Worcester Mass Spy,
giving the remarkable advice to it's New
England readers to 60 South, especially
commencing North Carolina, that "the
people of that State are more like those of
the North than any other, and their laws
and customs are more like those to which
Northern people are wonted. There is
less gush and sentiment and more com.
mon sense to the square yard in North
Carolina than in any State of Dixie
Land" The advice is excellent and re-
markable that such an article should ap-
pear in New England paper. 1t was
republished in the Manufacturers Record
and thereby obtains a wide circulation,
and should "New England's young men
preferably come to North Carolina" they
will be cordially welcomed and they will
find the possibilities here to thrifty
settlers are immense.
This writer recalls an incident in rela.
tion to said paper that occurred while at
school at Worcester, Massachusetts.
Two-thirds of the boarding scholars in a
large Institute were from the South,
Saturday evenings were devoted to read
ing by one of the teachers, miscellany
from magazines, etc., with criticisms from
scholars. By vote of the school it was
decided to take some book, choice of
which was left to the faculty. Saturday
evening every scholar was present when
the Professor rose with book in hand,
saying: "The teachers had decided to
read Uncle Toms Cabin.'' Instantly
every Southern girl left the room.
At that time the Worcester Spy hated
the South, it's pages reeked with the
venom ofsectionalism, and among the day
scholars were daughters of the editor,
who reported the incident, and the next
issue of the paper contained bitter
denunciation of the act, saying the
"Southern rebels (ante- bellum) should be
expelled, sent home in disgrace, etc."
The Southern rebels" were the monied
support of the Institute-they remained
and "Uncle Toms Cabin was laid on the
shelf
The then editor of the "Spy" has
passed over the river, and we note with
pleasure the great change, in its gener-
Gus and just opinion of the South.

Governor Carr made requisition Satur-
day for Hoke Secrest, the notorious Nc
Dowell county murderer Hoke was
serving 3 term in the South Carolina
penitentiary which expired today. He
will be put on trial for his life.
No material for the Confederate monu.
ment has as yet arrived here. It is said
that it is being rapidly prepared at the
quarries at Mt. Airy, and at Baltimore,
where the finer parts of the monument
are being cut.
The August number of the "Bulletin," !"
issued by the state department of agri.
culture, gives the name, location, number
of spindles, looms, ETC., of all the cotton
and wooden mills in North Carolina. 1t
shows there are $50 cotton weaving or
| spinning mills, nine hosiery or knitting,
one towel weaving, one net and twine,
one silk plaids, fourteen wooden, one bag
mill. In all there are 1T. Alamance
county has 20 mills, Cabarrus 5, Catawba
6, Cleveland z, Cumberland Z, Durham 5,
CASTOR %, Guilford 7, Lincoln 6, Neck.
lenburg 13, Randolph Is, Richmond 8,
Surry 6. The largest mill is that of the
OdelI manufacturing company at Con-
cord, with 1,125 looms and $4,000
splindles. The Rocky Mount mills have
25, 900 spindles. The smallest cotton
mill has only $50 spindles and 43 looms
and is at Monbo, Catawba county. The
total number of spindles in all the mills is
about 725, 900 and there are about 20, 900
looms. IN
| In the way of miscellaneous industries
this state is steadily gaining. A list is
published, brought up to September l,
showing 702 miscellaneous mills and
factories, exclusive of cotton and woolen
mills. Forsyth county is far in the lead,
having over seventy. Guiltord comes
next with forty-two, Wake third with
forty-one.
Governor Carr and State Treasurer
Tate are delighted with what they saw at
| the State farms on the Roanoke. They
estimate the yield of crops at rs per cent,
greater than Superintendent Leazar's
| figures. For instance, at the Caledonia
farm, from which Mr.. Lsazar expects
60, 900 bushels of corn, Governor Carr
says $4,000 at least will be gathered
Last year the convicts were able to pick
sixty bales of cotton day. Mr.. Leazal
says he expects that this year they viii
pick 100 bales a day. In a fortnight
seventy five more convicts will be sent
from the penitentiary to the farms, so as
to aid in harvesting the immense crops.
| The State board of education held q
special session this morning and decided
to apportion the distributive school fund
The amount of this is something like
$4,000 This has accumulated in various
ways, partly as interest on investments
1t will be apportioned among the
children of school ages (6 to 2I and will
give to each not less than cents and
perhaps 8 cents. At the last school census
there were 390,749 white and 2l8,916
colored children between those ages.

Why Butler Wants Fusion.

Marion Butler wants to 60 to the Uni.
ted States Senate. He has set his heart
upon that position. He wants the place
and wants it bad. It is bis study by day
and his dream by night. Foolish ideas
have crept into his head. Visions of
splendor float before his eyes. Ambition,
the sin by which the angels and our first
parents fell, possess his soul. So it can
be set down absolutely as fact that the
key to the Populist movement in this
State is Buffers ambition to 60 to the
Senate. Eliminate that and the concern
would collapse. Now, what are the con
ditions that Butler has to deal with? His
arm is not long enough to reach the
coveted prize. His party polled only
about 10000 votes in this State in 1892.
What is to be done? Why fusion with
the Republicans is his idea. He has been
figuring to the effect that the combined
vote of the Populists and Republicans is
greater than that of the Democrats. Yes
that is the way it was two years, ago,
but will it be so this year ? Butler thinks
it will, Let it be understood once for all
that North Carolina cannot be used for
Buffers very ignoble purpose. Our peo'
pie have too much State pride, too much

CT want to inform my Tennessee
neighbor that, by the grace of God, no
Ben Tillman or Waite shall ever disgrace
the gubernatorial char of North Caro-
lima. North Carolina is Democratic from
the mountains to the seashore, from
Cherokee to Currituck, and she will walk
off with bigger majority in 1894 than
she did in 1892, although the Populists
combine with the world, the flesh and the
devil to defeat US. Our Democracy is
founded upon the eternal principles OF
right, and the very gates Of hell shall
not prevail against u.s."

Three Towns in Ashes.
Over Two Hundred People Burned to Death in
Pine County, Minnesota.


Pine County, Minnesota.
PINE CITY, Minn., Sept. 2.-Three
towns, Hinckley, Mission Greek, and
Pokegama, all in Pine county, are in
ashes tonight, and more than two hundred
human bodies lie in the region around
Hinckley. The vast valley between
Kettle River and Cross Lake, including
several villages and settlements, is laid
waste by forest fires. Besides the towns
that were reduced to ashes farms were
swept clean by the flames. The forests
are still burning fiercely, and rain is re-
quired to drown the fires that are sweep.
ing over vast region.
Whole families have been cremated.
In some instances only one or two men
escaped from q neighborhood to tell of
the destruction. They saved their lives
by running to small lakes or hiding in
potato fields, and reached Pine City
more dead than alive. The dead are
being picked up by the score and brought
here. Searching parties are penetrating
the burned district, but find only the
charred remains of the inhabitants.

The Flood Followed an Earthquake.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. September L.
1t is now said that the deluge of water at
Uvalde did not come from the clouds, az
was at first supposed, but that it came
out of the ground, and its bursting forth
was caused by an earthquake which rent
the earth, as at several places along the
Leona river, near Uvalde, the cracks in
the earth with the water pouring there
from are still seen. The Leona river, SO
called, is dry stream ten months of the
year, but it is not generally known that 9
subterranean stream of water exists
underneath the dry bed, as flowing Arte
sian wells are obtained by boring few
hundred feet. 1t is supposed that this
Artesian basin of water is now escaping
through the cracks caused by the earth.
quake. The shock Of the earthquake was
distinctly felt at Uvalde and at points for
many miles around.
