BONDS TO Be- ISSUED.

The reports from Washington say |
that Mr.. Carlisle aud the President, /
are very impatient because congress /
does not give them the authority 10 /
issue bonds. They now say that
they have discovered that they have
the authority to issue bonds undo
the Resumption Act Of 1870, and
that if congress does not act at one
that they will issue the bonds any
way. This is part Of the debt tie,
owe the goldbug8 for their election
and they are anxious to pay it, whll'
suffering and Frustrated country
asks for relief and getE no attention
from the powers that be.
1t has always been The opinion Of
THE CAUCASIAN that the Act of
1875 did not give authority to issue
bonds now, aud this was certainly
The opinion Of Cleveland and Carlisle
when they asked congress to give
them authority. The Democratic
party has always denounced the, Act
of 1875 as piece Of Republican bad
! legislation, and that party should
now repeal that act. If the govern
ment must have more money, the
people had rather see it raised by
some just system Of taxation. The
people had rather see the tariff raised
than for bonds to be issued. But if
the government is not raising enough
money to meet expenses, why don't
the Democratic doctors Of economy
cut down the expenses Of the govern
ment, instead of putting more taxes
on the people to keep up d more ex-
penslye government?

Fruit Culture.

A bulletin (No 92) is now ready for
mailing. on the subject of fruit culture
by the n. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station at Raleigh. 1t contains 14s
pages and is improved by having 81 cuts
to illustrate the various subjects. 1t
is very comprehensive in scope,
embracing two general heads. The
first includes propagation, planting
and culture of fruit trees and fruit
bearing plants, and the preservation
and shipping of fruits. The second
head embraces insects and diseases
affecting fruit trees, plants and fruit,
with remedies for their destruction.
The publication is copiously illus
trated with cuts showing how to graft
and propagate fruit trees and vines and
train and prune them: also cuts of insects
and how diseases effect them, together
with appliances to destroy these enc
mics. 1t is manual for growing fruit
trees and keeping them, as well as
for the care of fruits in reference to
gathering, packing, shipping, drying,
preserving, and canning them. Varie-
ties of fruits are described, as well as
those most suitable to various sections
Of North Carolina.
This publication will be sent free to
all residents of the State who apply.
and to outsiders who send 10 cents in
stamps. Apply to DR.. II. L. Battle,

AN INFAMOUS LIAR.

On Jan. Sth one A. ROscOwer sent
the following special to the Whining
ton Messenger, Wilmington Star,
Raleigh News-Observer-C Chronicle
and Charlotte Observer:
''There was a lively scrimmage in
the Dining room of the Hotel Ken
non Sunday morning between MIR.
Paul C. Humphry and Mr.. Marion
Butler, the Popuhst, in which the
the latter came out second. The
trouble originated about certain
seat Mr. Butler was occupying, which
was claimed by Mr.. Humphrey for
his wife. Mr.. Buffers discourtesy
to vacate caused him to lose a quaint
ity of his long hair, and he is now
the possessor of well striped face"
As soon as our attention was called

How soon land may be grazed after
sown to rye and barley for this purpose
depends on uncertain conditions the
main items OF which are the weather
and state of fertility, and moisture OF
the field in which the grains are sOwn.
if favorable weather accompanies and
follows the deposit Of the seed in d rich
moist soil. it will be nicely vegetated
within a week, and by one or two more
weeks might be lightly cropped if de
sired. But if the ground is soft it would
he best to hold stock off until the plants
have filtered, and are covering the
ground with green carpet, which will
take several weeks more. -Four to SIX
weeks may be soon enough to begin
grazing, regard being made to growth
and best treatment of the plants grazed.
How much grazing can be done on
given area is quite as uncertain and de-
ponds on the same conditions. The
Judgment of the graZier i'll removing the
stock when the roots are likely to suffer
from exposure to sun or teeth by too
close cropping, or when by packing the
too wet soil harm may be done, is also
an important factor in this case. The
skill with which the stock is handled
and numbers apportioned to keep the
growth cut off enough not to Out-grow
a good feeding height, and avoid cutting
too short and packing, will be the con
trolling factor after grazing has begun.

The result Of an experiment made by

Weld per acre when plated At depth OF
two inches was 2+.5 bushels; planted
three inches deep, it was s.. i bushels
per acre; four inches, 23.1 bushels per

the decided preference lay with the
three inch Planting. In this test, the
seed was planted very late, ON the 24th
December, after turnips had been taken
off the land. The depth of planting
was carefully gagged by a dibble. The
best stand on the following 18th March
was noted On the shallow planting. and
the more scattering stand on the deep
est planting, though the plants on these

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused " an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

A DEPLORABL AFFAIR.
Mr.. GiImer shot Mr.. Holland, of Danville,
Whom He Discovered in His House.
S,a,,;ol 70 tho DIsoryar

GREENSBORO, Jan. 15..-Since Sat
urday the full particulars of the af
fair Of Friday night have come out.
Capt. L. L. Gilmer, of this city, has
had cause for some time to suspect
infdelity on the part of his wife,
daughter of Col. Thos. B. Keogh.
On Friday morning Mr.. Gilmer left
ostensibly for Raleigh on two days
trip. That night Mrs. Gilmer was
at the train enquiring whether her
husband had come in on that train,
but she could learn nothing from
him. She concluded that he had
not arrived. Mr.. Gilmer, however,
had come, but had gotten off some
distance down the road when the
train had Stacked up.
After getting off he kept hid
around town until about IL O'Clock,
when he entered his mothers resi-
dence, and taking off his shoes, went
up stairs. He soon heard some one
come up stairs and rap at bedroom
door. Fearing the man was pre-
pairing to leave, Mr.. Gilmer made
his way into the room and saw a
man, who afterwards proved to be
Frank Holland, of Danville. Mr..
Gilmer flashed out a bulls-eye Ian
tern and commenced shooting. Hol-
land fell, and crying out that he
was killed, rolled under the bed.
After the shooting, Mr.. Gilmer
was advised to send for physician.
This done, but when they went up
to the room Holland had disappear
co, having gotten out of the window
and jumped to the ground. There
were traces Of blood on the ground,
showing which way he had gone.
Fortunately for Mr.. Holland the
north bound train was late and he
took the train for home. The woun-
ded man was thought to be mortally
hurt, but it is not now believed that
he is badly disabled. The bullet
went through the feshy part Of his
right thigh.
1t is under stood that the wronged
husband will apply for divorce al
once. 1t is also understood that Col
Keogh, wife and Mrs. Conrad. who
has arrived since the unfortunate af-
fair, have been ordered to vacate
the home of Mr.. Gilmer Mrs. Gil
mer will be allowed longer time tc
leave. 1t is stated that Mrs. Gilmel
denies any criminal conduct. but &C
knGwledges being very indiscreet
She will fight the suit for divorce OF
this ground.
All the parties connected with the
deplorable affair are well known il
society. Mrs. Gilmer was one of tn,
most polished and affable women il
Greensboro. Her father was com
missioner from this State to the
Worlds Fair. The unfortunate
husband is a son of the late Judg,
Gilmer.
Mrs. GiImer, Mr.. Gilmer's mother
returned from cburch and ro+iraC
for the night, and of course knew
nothing of the presence of any ont
IN the house. The sympathy of tn,
whole town goes out to her.
Mr.. Gilmer is staying for the pre-
sent at the home of his particula
friend, Mr.. J. T. Jordon.

essence of Republican discriminating
protection The Wilson bill is SIM
ply the Mckinley bill slightly
changed and worked over. 1t does
American industries more injustice
than the Mckinley bill. His speech
is made to gull the voter, his bill is
made to tickle such manufacturers
as Carnegie. The bill gives the lie
to all Democratic promises of just
and equal taxation. The speech and
the bill illustrate the difference be-
tween promises on the stump and
performances in congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.

" ASHiAGIOS, Jan. 10.
1 he North Carolina Colony here is
sensated over the Oldham
Ransom expose. That Oldham is
for what he says, no.
body seems to doubt, that he has
said enough to make any man fight
is equally certain. When he SAYS
that Senator Ransom disclaims III
idea of bribery in the proposition he
made to divide his salary as custo-
dian with him, rybody is pre-
pared to accept as the truth. But
his assertion that Ransom was per-
fectly willing to accept the offer un-
til he learned that the office had no
salary attached to it," is not, and
will not be accepted without verif-
cation. 1t means bribery in its most
wantom and offensive sense.
Capt. Oldham owes it to his State
to make good this bold assertion OF
acknowledge himself a liar and a
Slanderer. If the truth Of the accu-
sation can be established it is due
the people of North Carolina that
they should know it. 1t is either
the truth or vile, wantom, infa-
nous SANDER. The honor and in
tegrity of North Carolina is involved
in this indictment. Capt Oldham
is reputable citizen, a Democrat,
a courageous, Outspoken man. But
his reputation for probity an truth
will not be accepted as proof Of the
charge he makes against Senator
Ransom.
This is about the drift of the talk
here. But for Captain Oldham 5
we'll known integrity no heed would
be given the accusation he makes.
Nothing short of positive proof will
satisfy even Ransom's enemies that
he is amenable to Oldham's charge
Of bribery. But everybody is asking
what will Ransom do about it?''
All sorts Of reports are in circula-
ton. The most reasonable one is
that Oldham will be compelled to re-
tract and apologize. A refusal to
do so, it is thought, will subject him
to extreme personal chastisement.
Such denoument may have already
occurred. 1t is Senator Ransom 5
determination to prevent it, if pos
sible, but conditions and agencies
over which he has no control may
defy his wishes and efforts in that
behalf.
The deepest interest is felt here
and the general sympathy is natur,
ally with Senator Ransom. Captain
Oldham is disappointed ot1ice-seek,
er, and the disposition is to credit
the charge to malignity and disap
pointment.
From the very outset the postotfice
appointment at Wilmington was set
tied against him. The odds were
largely against him, and he could
not fail to know it. Yet he felt tht
hope that-"spring eternal in the
human breast"-particularly in the
breast CT an office-seeker. Disap
pointment is cruel and almost unen-
durable in such cases, but it can new
er Justify a resentment that finds it:
only vent in the accusation he make!
against Senator Ransom.
The assertion Was made in thi
correspondence last week that the
withdrawal of Senator Nance's oppo
sition to Simmons confirmation end
