PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
He Leaves Washington for North Car.
Olina-Hunting.

President Cleveland left Washing
ton Sunday for Understanding trip
along the North Carolina coast.
He was accompanied by Secretary
Gresham and Capt. Robley d. Evans,
the naval secretary of the light house
board.
The ducking season is nearly at an
end, but there is said to be good sport
in the North Carolina sounds and
rivers. 1t was the intention of the
presidential party to proceed to North
Carolina by way of the Dismal Swamp,
where they may get shot at bear
or some other big game. The trip
Will last week or ten days. Secretary
Lamont, who was asked to join the
party, decided at the last moment not
to go.
The Presidents trip has been in
contemplation for week or more. In
private conversation with friends he
has not hesitated to express openly
his dissatisfaction with the present
aspect of affairs in Congress and else
where, and his desire to go away for
time from his disagreeable environ
mentS, and to go where no kilograms
could reach him and no reporters
could follow him. He has spoken in
strong terms of the lack of unity dis
played on all important party ques-
lions. The inactivity OF the Senate
on the tariff bill is to him source of
much concern and the apparent deter
minati0n OF the Democrats of the
House to force the coinage of the
silver seigniorage has also given him
great uneasiness. Added to the party
| troubles in New York the dissatisfac.
tiOn Of an element of the party in
Illinois over local appointments was
] an unlocked for complication.

DIR, TALMAGE MAY REMAIN.
One of the Trustees Announces Tha
He VIII Not Leave.

One of the Trustees Announces That
He viii Not Leave.
From the New York Herald.l
"The Rev. DR.. Talmage will never
cease to be pastor Of Brooklyn Taber-
nacie."
This positive announcement was
made last night in the Tabernacle be-
fore the evening service by one of the
church trustees.
When asked last night if he would
say farewell to his congregation next
Sunday, DR.. Talmage declined TO
state. When Mrs. Tiimage was asked
about it she said that there was some
question as to just what date the
Doctor became pastor of the Taber-
nacle, and indicated that DR.. Tai
that had been announced.
The fact remains that, nOtWith-
standing the resignation of Dr.. Tai
mage is in the hands of the Board of
Trustees, it has not been acted upon.
The belief has been expressed at each
meeting Of the trustees that DR.. Tai
mage would be prevailed upon to re-
main, and during the past tive weeks
strenuous efforts have been made to
try and free the church fom debt.
Thus far trihe over 100000 has been
raised, and the collections in the
church have SO increased that the &C
tual running expenses are being met.
This has So encouraged DR.. Talmage,
it is said, that he has signitied to the
Church Board that he Will remain as
pastor and preach jubilee sermon in
stead OF one If farewell.
The proposed trip of DR.. Talmage
around the world Will not be abandon
ed. 1t is stated that DR.. Talmage in
tends to make the trip a money max
ing one, and when he returns TO
Brooklyn in the fail he will contrib
ute a large portion of his lecturing in
come towards freeing the the church
from the most pressing encumbrances.
He has donated his salary for several
years to the church f und in or
der to prevent the Tabernacle being
sold Tor debt.
The trustees and elders feel gleeful
over the belief that the Tabernacle
will not be sold and that DR.. Talmage
will remain its pastor.

TOO MUCH TOBACCO,
What a Well Known Manufacturer
Thinks About It.

Mr.. W. ". Wood in d letter to the
Raleigh News and Observer says:
That the average price of leaf to-
bacco this year and last will not pay
the cost of production no one will
deny. That the more the average
farmer produces the poorer he be-
|, comes is necessarily true. A trade
malady is thus presented. It's causes
should be sought before resorting to
remedies.
1.-TWO years ago, when publicly
discussing tobacco interests, fearing
the approach of present conditions.
[ said, L cannot torego the duty of
dropping a word of caution against
over production, a thing of all others
most dangerous and hurtfu to any
industry Here we find, ] am sure,
the chief cause of the tobacco plant
ers' present trouble To this add the
threatened increase of the tobacco
tax by the government, at time
when the people are so depressed in
all business lines-thus intimidatlDg
| those who would otherwise invest in
leaf tobacco. Add also the existing
ice leaf Law, passed in the Mckinley
bill, permitting dealers to Sell Leaf to-
/ bacco, without tax or restriction, to
Observation-Disclosures intimidation to
that large class of leaf buyers-the
tobacco mauufacturers-w cannot
! Sell their product to consumers until
they have paid a tax of six cents per
pound.
The farme: are responsible for,
| and can remove only the one cause
over production. They alone have
the remedy in their own hands The
best information obtainable justifies
the opinion that there is now exist
| ing three and half years supply of
! tobacco, even if there be not a pound
produced during that length of time.
/ Of course were it known that there
would not be, prices would advance
prospectively, for speculation, but
not OF necessity. So would they ia a
! less degree, prOportiOnately were 1T
known that ouly one-eighth, one
! fourth or oae-hal: of a crop would be
produced for each of the next three
! years.
"These thoughts suggest to the
| tobacco farmers the true and Only
way out Of their. present desperate
| condition. We're | tobacco plant
er, would plant only one acre this
year to eight planted last year, aud
next year, only one acre more, and
| not over four acres the third year, or
half crop as compared with last
year. | would plant other crops,
grains, etc., and raise hogs, cattle,
sheep, fowls and such other things
that go to make comfortable and
independent homes. Unless such a
policy is pursued by tobacco plant
ers, utter ruin, which is almost at
hand, awaits them, and with them,
manufacturers, leaf spectators,
merchants, Newspaper editors, and
many other interests, for the farmer
is the foundation of the entire super
structure of all material prosperity.
Il will not enlarge upon the other
hindrances to the producer of to
bacco, VIZ: The threatened increase
OF the tobacco tax, and the Mckin-
ley law permitting de ilers to sell leaf
tobacco, without tax or restriction,
to consumers-for surely we may
| hope Congress will be wise enough to
/ avoid the one and remove the other,
and that right early

Mr.. Wood s article on Tobacco.

The Raleigh News Observer has the
following to say editorially of MI.
Woods article on tobacco, published
in another column: 1.-The article by
Mr.. Wood, of Winston, giving reasons
why tobacco growers should not add
to the present over supply of tobacco
that is bearing down the market,
should be pondered by the planters,
who will find it to their interests to
act on the suggestion. There is now
an over production of tobacco as
there is an overproduction of cotton.
What then shall the planters do !?
Bacon commands high price, and
we suggest to our friends who are en-
gagged in agriculture that live stock
pays. 1t pays to raise stock, and con-
vert other farm products into horses,
mules cattle and hogs. Some are let
ter liked for that than others, but all
can do something in that line, anG. in
the end will make money by it. If
what Mr.. Wood SO well says is needed,
we are sure our tobacco growers will
find it to their advantage, and will
jim us in thanking Mr.. Wood for his
timely article.

On account of the bad weather, the
officers kept the parties at the home

they were brought to Winston on the

Satterfeld and Miss Shore did not
appear to be troubled over the situa-
uion and their wild "goose chase"
The father, Mr.. n. Z. Shore. was
naturally wrought up oyer the affair.
While in Mayor Douthit's store he
drew his pistol and was in the act Of

Satterfeld says that he left here
with the intention of being back to-
day to attend court, he being under

here, Can't | get you to take me to
some place where l could get some
work to do, and if you will take me

$4,000 SHORT.
That is the Condition of the Deaf and
Dumb School at Morganton.

That is the Condition of the Deaf and
Dumb School at Morganton.
From the Charlotte News, Feb Oath.
Hon. Rufus Grier returned from
Morganton this morning, where he
went a few days ago to attend a
meeting of the finance committee of
the State. Deaf and Dumb Institute
at that place. They had very
pleasant meeting but had some very
hard questions to consider, and they
are not yet solved.
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer were received and prepar-
ed for the State Auditor. The re-
port of the building committee showed
that there would be required $4,000
more to complete the building and
have it ready for occupancy by Sep
to open the school. If the commit
tee could get the Kelly fund of
sc, 900 in hand it would enable them
to open the school in September, but
otherwise they cannot do so unless
they borrow the amount necessary.
When the State Legislature was
asked for an appropriation of $50, 900,
which amount had been figured down
| to be exactly what was absolutely
necessary, an appropriation of $780,
| 900 was given, and that is why $40, 0O(
| is yet needed. The Kelly fund, ac
cording to the will, cannot be used
until the school is opened, and unless
the committee can negotiate a loan Of
] $40, 900, that will not be this year.
