NAbSA.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Major But
terworth began his cross examination of
Miss Pollard yesterday by an cxamina-
tion into her age, and she told him, as
she had told Mr.. Carlisle, that she had
believed until this suit was filed that she
was born in 1864. but that she had
since then learned from her mother and
sister that she was b,rn on November
30th, 1866. la her early years her father
had spent much time in teaching her.
Questioned by ButterWorth as to what
lie taught her, Buttcrworth asked: Did
he teach YOU much history
"Not so much as Col. Breckenridge told
me afterwards" was the answer; and it
took the crier nearly minute to stop
the laughter.
Miss Pollards answers werebright and
witty and kept pace with the keen
minded Major Butterworth. Mr.. Butter
worth's cross'cxamination brought an
acknowledgment from Miss Pollard that
besides her contract" as she called it,
with Rhodes to marry him or refund the
money he expended upon her education,
she engaged herself to man named Ro-
sell White at Wesleyan college, at Cincin-
natl.

"Did you break OFF with Roscll?"
"Yes. while Mr.. Breckenridge was

and heard me"
There was one sally that created a
roar. Mr. Butterworth asked Miss
Pollard If Col. Breckinridgc had recog-
nlzcd her on the train at their first meet.
ing, and Miss Pollard said: lie crossed
the aisle, and asked if he did not recognize
me; and, by the way, that's common
trick OF his, recognizing people he doesn't
know.
Miss Pollard. in answer to questions,
said she had seen many .hings in Mr..
Breckenridge during their nine years as
sociation that she did not like, including
this trick of recognition, but she had not
found him out at that time.

Senator Vance as a Leader.
IClintOn Democrat.

Senator Vance is the representative
Democrat of North Carolina. His
bearing in the passage at arms which
occurred during the extra session of
Congress has endeared him more than
ever to the people of his State for
whose interest he has ever stood up
boldly and uncompromisingly. He is
the standard under which the Democ-
racy of the State will march to victory
next November. North Carolina is
essentially and necessarily Democre,ic
and must remain SO. There is no
Disgusting of the fact that a powerful
effort will be made to defeat the De-
mocracy at the next election. The
final effort Of expiring popullsm will
be made to carry the State, but the
result will be as it was at the last cleo
ton. There was never any real cause
for detection from the State DemoC-
racy and many of the best men who
left it two years ago are with it now
and to stay. State politics and ma
tional politics are two different things
and many who did not realize as
much in the heat of the campaign
have more carefully considered their
duty as citizens since casting their
ballots. The friends of reform can
only destroy the possibility Of reform
by breaking ranks with the Democ'
racy, and can only lose self respect
by seeking to attain control of the
State by an alliance that would be
dishonorable, and disgusting TO tine

LATENT WEALTH.
PEANUT INDUSTRY OF THE
SOUTH.
A Paper of Importance to Farm
ers---Mr. Edward Atkinson,
Who Gave the First Pointer g
on the Cotton Seed Industry
Now Tells Something About
the Peanut Vine.
Norfolk Vireinian. !


A brief correspondence between
Samuel K. Borum, Esq. superintendent
of the Chamber of Commerce Of this
city, and Mr. Edward Atkinson about
peanut oil, elicits the following letter,
containing suggestions Of great value,
which will doubtless be read with
peculiar interest everywhere
BosrON, November 25th, 1893.
SAMUEL K. BoRUM, ESQ, SECRETARY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Norfolk,
Virginia,
Dear Sir Il wonder if it will fall
to me again to open new source of
wealth to the knowledge of the people
of this country? In my pamphlet
upon ':Cheap Cotton by Free Labor"
published IN 1861, or more than thirty
years since, at the beginning of the
war, | laid the foundation Of the
cotton seed oil industry, pointing out
in detail every direction in which it
has since been developed. The true
start was given later in my address at
Atlanta, in 1880, when | told the
Southern people, greatly to their
amazement, that " If there were a
variety of the cotton plant which
would grow in the North producing no
lint and nothing but seed, it would
long since have become one of our
most valuable of Crops.''
| now say that if there were a variety
of the peanut which would grow in the
North and which could be applied to
no other purpose than the production
of oil, and of meal to be used either as
fodder or for a fertilizer, it would be
one of the most widely cultivated and
valuable crops within our control.
There IS, as you are aware, great
variety of pea and bean vines or
leguminous plants, which are made
use of in crude, and one may say
unlnstructed manner in the Southern
States for renovatlng the soil, also for
fodder and to some limited extent for
food. These plants vary immensely
in their proportions of starch, oil and
heterogeneous material the latter
being the most costly and the most
necessary element in renovating
exhausted soil. Among all these
plants there Is not one equal to the
peanut in albuminoid.
In India and China the peanut is
cultivated more intelligently and ap-
piled more completely than it is in
the Southern States. The Indian
variety is called the Munghullie"
or q Bue-mung." Each nut contains
two or three seeds, seventy-hve of
which weigh one ounce. The chem
ical analysis is as follows:

He SHOULD BE REJECTED.
[CharlOtte Observer. I

Now the situation has changed, and
it is time for Democrats to whip over
to the Senate's side. Senator Hill
announces that he can and will defeat
the confirmation of Mr.. Wheeler H.
Peckham, of New York, who was nomi-
mated recently for Associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court, and every Demo-
cratic Senator should help him do it.
1t comes out that Mr.. Peckham in
1888 supported Warner Miller, Re-
publican, against David B. Hill,
Democrat, for Governor of New York.
He later opposed Hugh ]. Grant,
Democratic candidate for mayor of
New York. He not only drafted the
petition of the New York Bar Associa-
ton calling for the impeachment of
Judge Maynard, but took the stump
against him last year and made Repub-
lican speeches. 1t doesn't make any
difference to the country at large that
he has repeatedly and publicly de-
nounced Hill and Murphy and sought,
on all OCCASIONS, to defeat and Cir
cumvent them, nor does it make any
difference if the President has, as is
alleged, nominated him as deliberate
affront and defiance to the New York
Senators on account of their defeat Of
Hornblower. These are personal mat
tiers with which the public has no need
to concern itself; but the Democracy
Of the whole country is interested that
Democratic Senate should not give
its assent to the elevation of brindle
tail and bolter to the Supreme Court
bench so long as there remain in the
country a straight Democratic or
Republican lawyer who is fit to fill
the place. In view of this mans
record we shall want to see a list of
the Democratic Senators who vote for
his confirmation.

ACHRONIC GRUMBLER.

We heard a gentleman, who is much
given to faulthnding and looking on
the dark side of things, thus sum up
the condition of the world: The
bottom was knocked out Of business
in India. Times were distressing in
France and England and serious
beyond description in Germany and
Russia. Spain was in the throes of
bankruptcy and terrific destitution
stalked abroad under Italian Skies
South America was convulsed with
rumors of war and financial upheavals,
and McKinleyism had blasted this
country until it was beyond redemp-
ton.
This, while containing much truth,
is nevertheless going too far and look
ing at existing conditions in the
wrong light.
We can not remove hard times by
getting gloomy and finding fault.
The civilized world is no doubt feeling
the effects of serious business depres-
sion. In the United States we are
emerging from panic that ought not
to have occurred, and would not have
occurred if the Republican party had
done its duty to the people instead of
legislating in the interest of certain
classes. Confidence was destroyed by
unwise legislation. The commercial
and industrial depression that followed
casting a mantle Of gloom over the
entire land is, we are happy to say,
showing signs of early departure.
Industrial enterprises that were forced
to close are gradually re-opening,
confidence is being restored and the
vast army Of the unemployed daily
decreasing. Ever since the repeal OF
the Sherman law the business barometer
of the country has indicated better
times ahead, and if Congress will dc
its duty by speedily removing the
Mckinley bill and enacting a wise
! reform measure and other needed
legislation it will greatly hasten the
advent Of an era of prosperity.-Dur
