IT is said that the Wisconsin Press
Association was afraid of being held
up by train robbers IN Texas, but the
robbers had probably run across
some of the Wisconsin weeklies and
learned that their efforts would be
futile. Brother Roessler has invested
his savings in fine mansion and in
eQuipping his office. Brother Knowl-
ton advertises money to loan on long
time and at a low rate of interest,
and ofcourse had no money with him.
Brother Coonis an electric light mag
nate and pottery baron. Brother
Coe is a bank stakeholder and the
owner of a fine mansion, and SO on
to the end. How could train robbers
get anything from such men? The
only thing those editors took with
them that would be worth a cent to
robbers was a mountain Of gall
Why, that press gang actually held uE
railroad managers from their homes
to the Gulf of Mexico, and every little
town was glad to see them and feed
them and pass them on with JOY tc
the next town. Now, if those train
robbers could hold up trains
and communities as the press
gang did it would be fine art. The
mistake the robbers made was in not
holding up the press train and steal

hearing my father describe the wonder
full curative effects of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom-
panied by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some Of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve

ThE inequity often practiced in
Justices accounts was exemplitied by
the decision last week Of Burr w
Jones, of Madison, as referee in the
cases Of Justices Brewer and Helmann
against Columbia county. Brewer
claim of s., 2S7 was allowed at
$213.34 and Helmann's claim OF
81 ,O4O was allowed at 5000. The
referee said that Justice Brewer en-
tered into a fraudulent arrange
ment with the officers and
witnesses so as to increase fees
and costs. Jefferson county has been
quite generally free from any such
crookedness of late years.

Textile Industrial Supremacy.

In the trade reports of the week ap-
pears an item to the effect that all the
cotton mills in North Carolina have
reported dividends of from 8 to 16 per
cent. on the operations of the past year.
This is serving notice on New England
mill-owners that they have something
indeed to fear from Southern competi-
tion in cotton manufacturing, and the
old claim of confidence is rudely dis
turbed by the test of fact.
The Southern States have the cotton
and the right temperature. They have
the looms and the factories. In Vir-
ginia, the Carolinns and Georgia the
mills have been running steadily, earn
ing handsome profits on the investment,
and the number of new enterprises on
the way il as startlingly suggestive to
the New England centres as the con
tinucd increase in furnaces in Alabama
md Tennessee liz to the iron interests
of Pennsylvania. This is change of
base on which there can be no tariff
discount Textile manufacturing in
the South is now beyond the coarser
grades of goods and the iron industry
is keeping pace with the industrial de-
velopment of the day. Philadelphia

GEN. JUBAL A. EARLY DEAD.
Ne Met Death UnfHnchingiy and Crossed 0ve,
the River to Rest Under the Shade
of the Trees

LYNcHBURG, Va. - United States
Senator John W. Daniel in sad voice
announced TINT his old commander,
Gen. Jubal A. Early, Mt whose bedside
he has been II constant watcher for
some days, had gone to his eternal re-
ward.
General Early died Mt 1890. He
passed away quietly in the presence of
his family and physicians, his kindred
and several intimate friends. The old
general seemed aware of his approach
ing end early in the day. Before noon
he called for the morning paper AZ was
his variable custom and attempted to
read, but found that his sight was fail
ing. Soon after, he extended his
hand to Senator Daniel and calmly
said: 81 want to tell you goodbye,
major" He then told his nephew,
Cabell Early, farewell, after which he
dropped into quiet slumber.
Later in the day the dying veteran
asked Senator Daniel not to leave the
room, ns he wanted to talk with him
about certain arrangements; but from
that time he suffered such intense pain
that he did not revive the subject He
met death unflinchingly, with his hand
resting quietly in Senator Daniels.
1t is thought that Gen. Early has
left good estate, though he was man
of astonishing generosity especially
towards his numerous relations, and
needy ex-Confedcrates.

TIVE PRESIDENTS EXPEDITION.
We Witnesses Seine Hauling BY Steam on
the Coast of Rorth Carolina and Also
Visits Points of historic Interest

ELIZABETH, CITY, N. C.-President
Cleveland and party are moving still
further away from civilization. In
the morning the Violet WAS lying at
Long Point, near the foot of the Abe
marie and Chesapeake Canal. After
affording the party an opportunity &c
sIy their skill on the ducks in the ear
ly morning the little steamer hauled
up snchor and stood away to the
southward. She crossed Albcmnrlc
Sound and entered Croatnn Sound,
about thirty miles from tho morning. g
starting point. Here the vessel an
chored and the party passed the night
quietly IL the glare OF the Croatan
Sound light, which was close at hand.
The presidential party did not try
their luck ut cunning in the morning,
but instead went on sightseeing ex-
pedition. The President and Secre-
tary Gresham are early risers, and by
o'clock breakfast had been dispatch
ed and the members of the party be-
gan their trip. The first point of in
terest was to see the seine hauling at
Weymouth, point on the mainland.
The fisheries at this point are among
the most extensive on the Atlantic
coast. Shnd and herring and striped
bass or roach fish have already begun
their spring migration from the deep
waters Of the Atlantic to the spawning
grounds. They enter the North Car
olina sounds of Wilmington and
through the inlet of Hatterns and Mt
Oregon and New Inlet, and find their
spawning beds II thc c;:;ncruus streams
running into the sounds from the
mainland. The President, Secretary
Gresham and Cnpt. Evans landed from
the Violet in n gig and inspected the
workings of the Davis anG Weymouth
fishery on Croaton Sound The tide
was favorable and the party WAS in
time to see one haul of the great seine.
This net is about two miles long and
owing to it's great length and weight
is beyond the capacity of human labor
to handle; SO n steamer is called upon.
The party saw the seine carefully
slowed on the stern of two steam
flats" as they are known. The boats
swept across the sound and returned,
forming an almost circle and paying
out the seine ms they ran. Reaching
shore the lines were attached 10 II
steam windlass and in the course of
an hour the great seine was landed,
bringing in its mcshes barrels of fish
of all kinds. The President was much
interested in the sight. Taking to
their gig again, the party then crossed
Cra.tayn- -Laland- q nd landAd- an -RAA..4.,---
the party visited some of the historic
points on the island, including Fort
Raleigh and Ballast Point, where Sir
Walter landed the ballast which he
brought in his ship from England on
one of his ship voyages to the new
world. The President also stopped
for time at the quaint village of
Mantco, thus touching civilization for
the first time since leaving Washing
ton last Sunday.

Trenton compares most favorably with
that of the famous New England mills.

They are Coming So1t'.
Springfield Republican,

To those over-confident people who
have been claiming all along that New
Englsnd had nothing to fear from
Southern competition in cotton manu-
featuring, the report of a correspond
ent to the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter will prove disturbing. He
has been visiting the mills in Virginia,
the Carolinas and Georgia, and finds
them nearly all running OH full time
and earning handsome profits on the
investment. Textile manufacturing in
h South has suffered less from the
depression than anywhere else, and
the number of new mills being built
and old ones extended is reported to
be surprisingly large. AS to the
claim that the South will never get be-
yond the manufacture of the coarser
grades of cotton goods, this CORE
spondent notes steady tendency
everywhere toward the manufacture
of the finer grades. II is stated that
nearly all the cotton mills in North
Carolina have reported dividends of
from to Is per cent. on the opera
tions of the past year.

Under the above heading the Sa

Under the above heading the Savan-
nah News breaches sermon against
the disposition of Southern people of
all classes, from cotton planters to cot
ton commission merchants, to speculate
in cotton. The News very truly says
that speculating in cotton on the part
of Southern people is almost MS much
waste of money as investing in lot
terry tickets. Prices are not regulated
by the law Of supply and demand, ex-
cept in the long run covering q period
of years, when they may move up or
down on n general average, as supply
and demand may regulate, but tho
speculator who attempts to make money
on short-time operations is very gen
orally left. The South annually dunn .
into Wall street million of dollars O
good hard money to pay for cotton
lossee, and. yetsserss little is henrd nf
It. It is within bounds to say that
within the Inst twenty years the South \
net losses on cotton speculntions have
run up to hundred million or more.
This money, had it been kept Mt homo
and invested in development enter
prises, would have added vastly to tho
wealth of the whole South, furnished
employment to many thousands of
hands and brought profit to those who
owned it. Producing as the South
does, not fnr from 81, ZOO, 900, 900 of
agricultural, manufacturing and mining
products year, there ought to be n
very large surplus, md this surplus
will constantly increase rs speculation

MR.. cARTELLS SILENT BRIDE.
She Had Howed Never to Speak to Him Again,
byt the Marriage Came Oft.


TRuBLE, TENN.-Mrs. Jerry Cartel
of near Trimble, has Just broken a
rash VOW which she made over twelve
months ago, and which she regretted
having ever made.
About eighteen months ago Mrs.
Cartel was Miss Fannie Brambley, a
beautiful young lady of eighteen years
and Jerry Cartel her favored suitor.
But. as is generally the case with
young lovers, quarrel arose between
them. and III the he.. vi passion Miss
Fannie angrily bade her lover leave
her presence, and vowed by high
Heaven she would never speak to him
again. The disconsolate lover took
his departure, but as he fairly wor-
shipped the girl he ardently set about
to effect reconciliation. At last, in
answer to pitiful pleading lettcr,
Miss Fannie relented and penncd to
him loving, forgiving message
Overjoyed at the happy termination
of affairs he hurried to the home of
Miss Fannie, and was received warmly
and nffectionatcly, but without n word
of welcome. Taking a tablet and pen
Gil from desk she began written
conversation as though she could not
speak word. Cartel pleaded the
uselessness and foolshncss of such
proceedings, but in vain, as his sweet
heart positively refused to utter word
to him. She is very devout, mem
her of the Methodist Church, and was
firmly impressed with the idea that if
She should break her rash VOW God
would punish her by striking her
dumb, when she could speak to no
one. She was constantly on her guard
for fear she might forget herself and
speak to her lover, thereby inviting
this terrible visitation.
The courtship proceeded with pen
Gil and paper for several months, and
then they were joined together in the
holy bonds of matrimony. During
their married life of nearly n year Mrs.
Cartel never spoke to her husband I'M
til some weeks ago.
Last Christmas Mr. Cartel made his
wife present of handsome and cost
ly pair of vases. The other morning
the husband was bringing in an arm.
full OF wood and struck one of the vases
anu IL W tIlc HoOT, WncTc IL
broke into a hundred pieces.
ooh, Jerry, look what you have
done!" cried Mrs. Cartel.
She was horribly shocked at speak
ing to her husband, and believed that
she hal been stricken dumb. To as
certain the correctness of her belief
she spoke to him again, and was over
joycd to discover that her organs of
speech fau nut Uecn m Ino Icasu ILL
paired.
In the happiness of again hearing
his wife speak to him, Jerry folded her
in his arms, wept tears of joy, and
thanked God for the breaking of her
vase. Mr.. and Mrs. Cartel feel rs if
cloud had been lifted from their
home, and there is not happier couple
