thirty-three mills in North Caro-
lima operating 80, 997 spindles;
in 1880 the number was Increased
to forty-nine, and 90, 385 spindles.
In 1887 statistics show that there
were about eighty mills in the
State, but only thirty-three
would respond to the enquiries
of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics; the thirty-three we're oper-
ating 5000 spindles and 1924
looms, representing seventeen
different countless; in 1890 we
find forty-four mills operating
148, 1888 spindles and 1854 looms,
representing twenty-six counties;
in 1891 they seem to have fallen
back some, as we only find thirty
four mills reporting with 50, 794
spindles and 1887 looms, but
in 1898 we find a vast in
crease, s~ixty-six mills being
reported with 243, 719 spindles
and GIG looms, representing
only twenty-three counties. In
1894 we find that there has been
a vast Improvement over all.
There are now in the State of
North Carolina one hundred and

Housekeepers are Interested.

The housekeepers of our city
are now greatly interested in the
cooking exhibit that is so extern
sively in vogue at the grocery
store of Mr.. I. B. Fonvielie this
week, showing forth the merits
of "Cottolene" as the great com
ing shortening" that is des-
tined soon to be in universal use
in the cuisine of those homes
where merit is recognized and
cleanliness and health are para
mount considerations.
AL grocery stores now sell
"Cottolene," and soon all house
holds will be using it, as it's re-
suits, both as a saving shorten
ing and as a more desirable one
when tested, are readily recog.
nized from the very first trial.
1t is therefore without fear OF
competition that the manufac.
lures have placed iton the market
and are now expending vast
sums of money in giving public
exhibits Of it's merits, such as is
being held this week at Mr..
Fonvielle's store in this city.
It is not the purpose of this
brief comment to go into parti
culars; but being persuaded O.
it's superior merits we simply de.
sire the house keepers of oul
city to inform themselves while
the opportunity is afforded them
They a buy Cottolene from
any grocer-as they all keep il
for sale-but they cannot ge.
doughnuts, pound cakes Sara
toga chips &C., so delicious-ant

they can this week at Fonvielle's

A SACRED DUTY.
That is What Ransom thinks of
Currency Legislation-No Chance
for Henry-A Question of Pen
sions-The Vance Eulogies.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.
ARGUS BUREAU,

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.
Senator Ransom says every
Senator is seriously considering
the currency question. He thinks
it is the sacred duty of Congress
to do something on the subject.
There is hardly any chance for
Mr.. Walter R. Henry to receive
a government position. Our
members say they have done all
they could.
Most people here appear to
think that the Democratic caucus
at Raleigh will nominate Ransom
and Jarvis for Senators.
Representative Bower is trying
to secure a new construction of
the pension laws by which a man
who has served in the Confeder-
ate army and deserted to the
Federal army and served there
until disabled shall receive pen
sion. He has a constituent who
was thus barred by the Pension
Commissioner. Secretary Smith
sustains the Commissioner, but
is looking further into the law.
Mr.. Bower will introduce a bill
next week to give such persons a
pension.
The proceedings of the new
Legislature are watched here
very closely.
Representative Grady donates
the greater part of his agricul-
tural seeds remaining on hand to
the drought sufferers of Nebras-
ka, at the request of Congress-
man Ken.
Mr.. Grady has been put off
once more by the Supervising
Architects Office in the matter
of the building plan for the New
bern public building. Lack OF
sunshine for the Photographic
work, they tell him, is the last
reason why the proposals for
building are not advertised. The
work will be ready, it is said, in
a few days, perhaps by Wednes-
day. if there is sufficient sun
light.
It is probable the Vance eulo.
gies will be delivered in the
House on February 9. one week
after those over Colquitt. Some
of the delegation will not speak
some who at first intended to
do so. They say they do MOI
lack interest in the matter, by
any means, but regard the eu
logy business, as now conducted,
as over-done, and not specially
honoring to such really great
men as Vance was.
District Attorney r. B. Glenn
of Winston, and John Ell. Davis
of Wilmington, were here yes

cipal new bills we're to reduce ex-
penses of State Guard; to repeal

red.
There was long debate on bill to
reduce amount Of bonds required
of Pitt county's officers, but it was
finally referred to committee.
LATER:-The Senate passed,
on second and third readings, bill
to reduce bond of sheriff of Pitt
county.
Democratic members asserted
that it was a private bill and that
therefore thirty days notice
should have been given, whereas
there was no notice. They also
contended that the repeating
clause of this bill repealed all
laws in regard to all sheriffs'
bonds.
The Fusionists say they intend
to pass a general bill covering
all bonds which were increased
as in this case.
HOUSE.
In the House Speaker Walser
presided. Petitions were sent in
concerning Z election contests.

And Far From Home and Loved

Travelling Man in This City.

AIN dI IIOHI IIOIIlS anu LOf(u
Ones: The Sad Condition of a
Travelling Man in This City.
There is lying in critical con-
dition at the Hotel Kennon in
this city, a young travelling man
by the name of F. F. Plummer,
representing the machinery
manufacturing firm of Berry.
Orion & Co., of Philadelphia.
His case is peculiarly sad. He
came to this city Saturday even
ing on the ''shoofiy" train from
Wilmington, and rs he register
ed at theHotel Mr.. re Terry, the
clerk observed that he had con-
fused wound on his side forehead
near the temple, but as Mr..
Plummer seemed all right and
registered readily and talked CO.
herently, Mr.. Terry made no en-
quiry but assigned him a room
and the porter showed him to it.
Sunday Mr.. Terry noticed that
Mr.. Plummer did not appear at
breakfast and Sentto his room to
make enquiry, and he was found
lying on the bed with his clothes
on-not even having removed his
overcoaV. Mr. Griffin, the prop
rietor, was notified, who immedi-
ately summoned medical aid for
his guest, and has lavished upon
him every possible attention for
the alliviatiOn of his unfortunate
condition.
When the doctor aroused him he
seemed to be coming out of a
sleep and talked coherently, but
was evidently suffering with
mental alteration. He could not
tell how he was hurt, and insist
ed that he had received no blow,
and all day yesterday he persist
ed in saying, when asked by the
doctor or his attendants, that he
had just arrived, SO that no def
mite information could be had
from him, and last night, about
Z o'clock, he underwent a stroke
of paralysis, and at this writing
little hope is entertained of his
recovery.
In his pocket was found some
unopened letters received at Will
mingtOn, among them was found
one from his sister, who wrote
to him from her home in Nor
wich. Conn, which is doubtless
his home, and she has been tele-
graphed by Mr.. Griffin, and also
his Philadelphia house, inform
ing them of his sad condition.
The following item from the
Wilmington Star Of Saturday,
explains the manner in which
the young man was hurt, and
shows, as do his unopened let
tiers, that he arrived there in a
critical condition. Tie Star says
NH. F. F. Plummer, of Phil
a~delphia, representing Berry

facturers, arrived in this city yes.

At this writing little hope is

news is being anxiously awaited
from his home and friends.

RALEIGH. n. c., Jan. Is, 1894.
There was a caucus Of Popu-
lists this afternoon at which
Marion Butler was nominated
for Z. S. Senator Ly acclama-
ton. This was followed by a joint
caucus of Republicans and Popu-
lists, which was presided over by
Republican member from New

Gus elected Marion Butle.I for the
long term and Jeter Pritchard
for the short term .. S.. Sen

Both the nominees were then
sent for and they came in and
addressed the caucus, each one
|pledging himself to support Fus-
ion in the next campaign.
After Butler and Pritchard had
spoken, Republican ex-Judge
Daniel L. Russell made a very
discreditable speech, in which he
gloated over the fusion victory
and said that North Carolina is
at last delivered from ''oppress-
ion, tyranny and misrule."

Some information for You
A Word
About the Land

AS every one knows Lancaster is comparatively
new town. located in the center of Antelope Valley along
the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad IS miles north
of Los Angeles in Los Angeles county is for the
reason that up until few years ago water supposed
to exist only in the mountains, and that would require
large sums to bring water upon the land for irrigation
purposes. But this theory has been exploded during the
past few months by striking aresian water at depth of
only 1872 feet These wells are now to be found every.
wnere pouring up the cleares of pure water and vegeta-
ton of all descriptions is springing into sight Activity is
apparent in all directions New settlements are being
made throughout the valley, and in few years more the
entire region of which Lancaster is the CENTER will be the
popuous and thriving part of Los Angeles county,
Where the town is situated and where THE HERALD lots
are laid out the land is level floor. They are easily
worth from $50 to 800. The town of Lancaster is
thriving town of ESQ 800 inhabitants, and WILL within
few years, grow into place of much prominence. The
surrounding country is receiving influx Of settlers who
will open homes and improve the land in the best possible
manner The character of the products grown in this
gion indicates most clearly that very large population
can and will be sustained in Antelope Valley with Lam
caster as its center Mail subscribers can have the same
opportunity as those who live in the city. The price of

The B. & Ms New Time.

Agent Catlin handed us new time
table by which we find that the B. & NJ.
intends to make some important
changes in their train service and the
time of running. 1t will give the crew
at this place several hours more work
every day but they all say they do not
mind that at all. The most important
arrangement will be running the reg
ular south bound train between Dead
wood and Edgemont, so as to make
connection with the through train on
the main line running west to Billings
and the coast. This train will leave
Deadwood at ILLS p. m. The stub train
here will go out to Minnekahta to meet
it at 5:45 a. m. and it will remain there
until the arrival of the train from the
east and will bring in passengers from
both trains to this city, arriving at 9:55
a. m. The boys will have to lay in a
supply of horse shoes to amuse them
selves while waiting there. Since
the B. G NJ. has arranged to handle the
through coast passengers off the North
western, there is a, probability that a
good many passengers will come this
way and spend a day or two in this
city. The time going east will be ma
terially reduced between Billings and
Omaha. The train will leave Billings at
p. m. one evening and arrive in Oma-
ha at about 10 the next evening. The
B. g. M. propose to be in it next sum-
mer for through passengers to the
northwest.

ANOTHER TREASURER SHORT.
H. NJ. Tunley, Custer Co,,nty's Treasurer,
&3.nOO Short.

B. NJ. Tunlcy, Custer County's Treasurer,
$4,000 short.
From Saturdays Edition.
M. Alexander of Buffalo Gap came
down from Custer last evening and
brings the startling report that Ben
Tunley, Custer county's retiring treas.
urer, came before the commissioners
and acknowledged he was $4,000 short
in his accounts. He would give no en-
PLANTATION of where it went, but ac-
knowledged the deficiency in a straight
forward, manly manner. His bonds
men are amply able to make good the
deficiency and action on the bond will
be commenced at once. The Office of
treasurer in Custer county has been
considerable of hoodoo, as e. HI.
Flynn, the former treasurer of the
county, came out away short. What is
the matter with the country anyhow?
The state examiner certainly amounts
to nothing or he would have known
something about the condition of
things.

a Queer Case at 1Fairhurn.

News of aremarkablea and unexpected
resurrection comes from Fairburn.
Mrs. w. S. Sharp, wife of the Il. Il. &
NJ. V. agent at that place, recently gave
birth to i, baby boy, and has been very
sick. Wednesday morning she appar-
entity passed away, and her husband at
once wired Supt. Harris for trans
portation to Chicago for himself, his
mother-in- law. and the dead body of
his wife. The news of his wife's death
spread rapidly and agents all along the
line wired messages of coincidence and
comfort. The transportation asked
for was telegraphed and Mr.. Sharp was
expected on No. Wednesday night.
About one o'clock Wednesday after
noon IL message was received from him
saying that the transportation would
not be required as his wife had come to
life and was rapidly growing stronger.
She had been in trance. and was
thought to be dead. No signs of life
were visible from about eight o'clock
in the morning, when she entered the
trance, until noon, when she came to
life as suddenly as she had apparently
died. Reports last night stated that
both Mrs. Sharp and her baby were
doing nicely, and no fears were enter
tanned of a relapse -Chadron Journal.

Mrs. Megrew Will BE Taken to Omaha.
From Thursday's Edition.
At a consultation of her physicians
this morning it was decided to take
Mrs. Megrew, who has been sick SO
long, to Omaha to be operated on for
abscess on the liver, and she will be
taken there tonight in care of her hus-
band and DIR. Ida Green. Her liver
has been affected for some time, altho'
in the earlier part of her sickness it
was not detected on account of her
fieshy condition and the soreness at
tendant upon Inflammation of the
bowels. Since then large abscess on
the liver broke through into the lung
cavity and she has coughed up large
quantities of bile. Other smaller alb
scesses have been forming and break
ing and it is feared that the entire liver
is permeated by pockets of this kind.
Her case would not yield to treatment
here and the only hope was to take her
to Omaha to have the operation of
laparotomy performed SO that the seat
of the trouble may be removed. The
STAR hopes that she may secure the
relief SO much desired.

Commissioners at Work.

The commissioners have been at work
for the past week looking into the state
of the county's finances and making
an effort to recoup its losses in the
best way possible. We have it on good
authority that the money deposited in
the First National bank by ethe treas
urer is not in as bad shape as our pes
simistic populists would have people
believe. One of the commissioners in
forms us that there is no doubt in his
mind but that every cent will be paid
in full in reasonable time. The
county holds deeds for real estate
which is ample security in itself, be-
sides the assets of the bank which it is
said is going to, pay depositors in full.
OF course money cannot be realized
now on these securities, but we have
hopes it can be some time soon. The
money deposited in the Minnekahta
State bank can be Offset by the judg-
ment held against the county, and with
these shortages made good and an
effort to collect the back taxes, there
is no reason but what this county will
come out all right. Mr.. Bradley has
turned over his salary for the last five
months to apply on this shortage, and
honest man as he is, is doing every
thing he can to make good his unfor-
tunate losses. The board has taken
up the judgment the county has
against Fargo and Boomer for seed
grain and will see what they can real
ize out of it, and are looking after the
county's business in truly business
like manner. Before adjourning they
will re-district the county as regards
voting places. road districts and school
districts to conform with the present
commissioners districts and will fix
things up so that business hereafter
can he done in something likea a system
attic manner. The board will probably
be in session the balance of the week.
but the time they spend will be we'll
spent if they get the county's business
into some kind of INELIGIBLE shape.
