Wis wear+his new honors with becom-
ing dignity and ease and has thus
early buckled on the armor and enter

FAVORs A NATIONAL PARK.
When asked for a brief interview he
readily assented, qualifying his remark
with the staten 3nt that he was al
ways glad to talk with North Caro-
linians, whether at long or short
range. Concerning the establishment
of national park in Western North
Carolina, he said: 81 have always
taken great interest in the growth
and development of Western North
Carolina and long ago learned to look
upon that section as possessing the re-
sources for the development of mar
velousiy wonderful possibilities. l
cannot at this time, however, speak
with that certainty which l would
like, with regard to the establishment
of national park in the Land of the
Sky" but / think well and fayOrably
of the idea and shall be glad to coop
crate with and join in any move look
ing to that end, as likewise other
matters which tend to the develop
ment of that section"
REPRESENTS THE WHOLE STATE.
81 may, add that the risk l ran in
calling the State Legislature together
in 1850 for the sale of the Western
railroad leaves no room for doubt as
to my interest in the welfare of that
section. | am not here, however, to
represent any particular section or in
duStry of the State and can always be
relied on to join heartily in any move
that has for its object the advance
ment of North Carolina as whole or
any part thereof.
THE TOBACCO TAX
GAS regarding the tobacco tax | will
say that that is fixed and regulated by
the internal revenue feature of the
tariff bill, now before the Senate,
which l regard as binding upon every
good Democrat to vote for at the first
opportunity.
1.-The cultivation andmanufacture of
tobacco has reached gigantic proper
tions in North Carolina of late years
and if nc>IV one of the greatest indus
tries OF the State and upon it depends
| in large measure the prosperity of
very large and growing section, in
Guiding my own county-Pitt. With
| reference to this industry-as well as
oeher things affecting the prosperity
and happiness of the people,
shall most zealously endeavor to make
myself felt in the shaping OF any and
all legislatI ION affecting it SO as to pro-
mote it's interest. Our manufactured
product as well as our leaf are known
| the wide world over and enjoy repu
| tation for quality and excellence that
we should all feel personal pride in. !"
wINsToN's PUBLIC BUILDING.
| "What about a public building for
| Winston" was asked the Ex-Governor
as he complacently sat ensconsced in
/ an easy chair.
"Well, regard Winston as one of
| the growing and hopeful towns of the
| State. 1t has behind it resources of
| wealth and growth enjoyed by but few
| towns in North Carolina or the sister
States. | have always believed and
still believe that there is a bright
future for Winston and have so ex-
pressed myself while there and else
| where / therefore think that Win
| ston should have a public btilding
and one that is in every way COM
mensurate with its past marvellous
| growth and hopeful future, and /
shall be glad and can be relied on to
do all / can to secure an appropriation
for such a purpose, whether in Con-
gress or not. You may say that
| Shall always be glad to- have my con
stituents in North Carolina make
known their wishes to me on matters
affecting the public veal, and will be
found ready and willing at all times
to hear suggestions from the humbles1
to the highest in the land"
RATHER VOTE THAN SPEAK ON TAR
IFF BILL.
When queried as to whether III
| would speak on the tariff bill nov
pending in the Senate, Senator Jarvis
readily responded: my judgment i:
that the earliest date possible tha'
can be fixed for passing the tariff bill
will be the best for the country ant
