HOW VERY STRANGE.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to Talk
About Tariff
First Time They We're EverLoth
to Talk.
MANY NOT PLEASED.
Strong Opposition Among the
House Democrats.

WASHINGTON, May 9. - Leading
senators were chary yesterday about
expressing themselves upon the SUBJ
ject of the revised tariff bill. Senator
Mcpherson would not talk, saying
that he bad not read the bill with
enough care to justify a statment
for pu blication.
Senator Hill did not claim not to
have read the bill, but he said he had
nothing to say on the subject beyond
what he had previously said
Senator Jones believed the bill
would pass by Democratic votes and
that it will be sent back to the house
sooner than most people believed
Senator Smith spoke approvingly of
the chances, and expressed approval
of the tariff part of the bill.
Senator Faulkner contented him
self with expressing confidence in the
work of the tariff committee and in
saying he believed the bill would pass.
Senator Cockrel1 thought the bill.
when perfected, would be one of the
best tariff bills the country ever had
The Republicans were naturally
not so well pleased with it. Senator
Dubois characterized it as ''protec-
ton bill in spots" and said there was
only one of two courses for the Repub-
Hcans to pursue, to either let the bill
pass after a business-lilxe discussion of
its provisions or to stand it off until
the 4th of March next He thought
the former the wiser course
Senator Platt said: IF the Wilson
bill was called an abomination, this
should be called a bill of shame. If it
had not been for the power of the
sugar trust it is doubtful in my mind
mind if there would have been q
single protective duty in the BILL
Senators Mills, Berry and Faulkner
conferred with house mem bers during
the day concerning the tariff situa-
ton. The feeling of opposition to the
amendments was very marked among
Democratic members, as they regarded
the changes as a step toward protec-
ton and as retreat from the lines of
the Wilson bill.
Mr.. Montgomery of Kentucky, a
mem Der of the ways and means com
mittee, said the amendments looked
like a move for the worse all along
the line. The amendments impressed
him as being in the line Of protection.
On the Republican side there was
much sarcastic comment in the house

THE ENTERTAINMENT
At the YIN. G. A. Friday Might.
Communicated 4 - =.

Ii the depressing influences Of hard
times, lack OF employment, an uncertain
state of public affairs and the general
gloomy outlook can make life miserable,
yet there are great cOmpensations and
genuine enjoyment to be gotten out of
life even despite these very circumstances,
as evidenced by the highly appreciative
and cultured audience that filled the
bright and CHEEKY rooms of the Y. NJ e.
\. OH Friday evening last.
A diversified and varied program was
given, and one opinion only prevailed at
the close-that Henderson had fairly
outshone herself upon this delightful oc-
casion. Miss Pinkston first gave piano
solo that triled and rippled from her
nimble fingers as il jealous of the very
song birds themselves. Miss Boshamer
followed in that quaint. and sparkling
recitation called Money Musk and
while the familiar old tune of our grand
mothers days sounded from the piano,
one could almost see the "old time fid-
dler with "tallowed hair and in bulrush
seat CHAIR as he called off the changes
of the old tune, and his bow swept the
violin in its merry cadences. The recital
was beautifully given, and evidenced
grace and taste on the part OF Miss BOs-
hamer. This was followed by u vocal
Duet, Like as a Father Pitieth His
Children" given by Miss Coleman, lately
come from Richmond, Va. as teacher of
music, and Mrs. Beulah Smith, teacher
of art and elocution, both in Henderson
College. Their voices blended perfectly
and the anthem was given i'll cultivated,
beautiful, clear, resonant tones and was
a marked success. Mrs. Henry Perry
then gave as a recitation "Hagar,' and
in clear enunciatiOn and in faeiaE express
sion she left nothing to be desired. Miss
Coleman then gave give Something
Sweet to Tell You" in sweet solo voice,
and the program seemed certain of an
enthusiastic encore for every number
rendered. Capt. Shaw in &c Buck Fan
shaw's Funeral brought out the quaint
humor and irresistible laughter Of the
piece, and Miss Thomas was at her very
best (always tine) in solo "Sweet Heather
Bells Mrs. Beulah Smith gave "Bizpah''
with its pathetic lullaby, and Mr.. ". R.

SOME BIG HOGS.

There is plenty evidence that North
Carolina can raise big hogs, well as
other big things, and this all goes to
show that our people can raise their
own meat if they but have a mind to
do SO. We give few instances out
of many cases that have come under
our notice in different parts of the
State: Mention was made last week
of hog weighing 100 pounds, killed
by Editor Boylin, of the Wadesboro
MteWgeneer. \ correspondent writing
from Troyville to the Wilmington
Messenger says:
Mr.. Moses Weaver, of Grove town
ship, Harnett county, killed hog,
twenty-nine months old, that weighed
100 pounds net Mr. Albert Gregory,
of Black River township, this county,
killed one that tipped the beam at $40
pounds.
The Graham Cleaner reports the
following;
Mr.. O. n. Hornaday, of Patterson's
township, killed hog few days ago
that weighed 63o pounds. 1t measured
seven feet from the end of its nose to
root of its tail, six feet around, and was
three feet and four inches high. From
it WIS made eighteen gallons Of lard
and forty seven pounds of sausage.
Again. a correspondent writing to
the Wilmington Messenger from
Henley says:
Mr.. Henry Flowers, near our town,
killed hog to-day that was 9 feet y
inches long and weighed ITO pounds.
