state of mental alteration or
temporary insanity and there
fore irresponsible for his acts
and conduct.
I regret my inability to pre-
sent these facts sooner, and only
wished that a complete report of
this sad occurrence could have
been first given to the public.
Mr.. Oakes is probably best
known here, his North Carolina
home, while in this State for
two years past, when his preach
ing Christ and daily walk with
Him, have led this reople to
higher aspirations, to closer fell
lowship with Christ, to more
consecrated and surrendered
lives at the feet of Jesus.
This sad occurrence has cast
it's gloom over the entire COM
munity, filing it with sorrow
and grief. A united prayer from
this people is continually ascend
ing, as a sweet token of their
love, to the Throne of a Graci-
Gus God, to restore him and heal
him mentally, spiritually and
physically, and raise him up for
greater service in his Masters
cause, especially in this new
field Of his, where God has so
bountifully blessed his work.
We are glad to see SO much
charity already mantling him, in
this his saddest, darkest hour.
To tell Of the great love and
charity of Jesus Christ to hu-
manity was his especial mission
and now in this his sorrowful
hour he will receive from Gods
people in North Carolina that
love and charity he so eloquent
ly impressed upon, and SO
beautifully illustrated to them
in his preaching and in his life.
"As a man sows so shall he
reap, and truly is he reaping
love from God ard man. May
Gods strong arm encircle him
and draw him closer to Him.
''The crushed flower emits its
sweetest perfume, aud Mr..
Oakes, lying sorely strickened. is
sending his whole heart to God
in prayer for a more surrendered
life at the feet of Jesus Christ

With all the warning that is
going on with other roads and
the insinuations and evidences
adoat, that they are opposed to
the promotion of North Carolin-
ians or Southern men, it is cheer
ing and gratifying to observe
that the great Southern Rail
way" is true to it's name and es-
pecially kind to North Caro-
liniaus, and is prompt to show its
appreciation of their merits by
promoting them to the very fore
front of it's management.
The names of A. B. Andrews,
W. III. Green, and W. A. Turk
are notable among these. They
started with the Southern
away back in the years when il
was in its infancy, SO to speak,
and have grown to widespread and
merited renown in Railroad cir.
cles, as it has grown to deserved
greatness under their superior
administration.
In this connection we are GLAD
to note the promotion of Mr..
Green to General Manager of the
entire Southern system, with
headquarters at Washington, D.
c., and the promotion of another
competent and deserving North
Carolinian, Capt, JAS. A. bod
son, to be General Roadmaster o1
the company, also. with head
quarters in Washington.
Continued success to the
lSouthern!

n BRAN NEW BILL.

Mr.. S. M. Inman, of Atlanta,
is out in an interview in which
he says that if the South could
limit or increase the production
OF cotton at will, her future
would be secure. Her cotton
crop, he says, is the most per
feet monopoly on earth and cites
the following figures to show
that outside competition is not
to be feared:
Cotton crop of 1868 &C.
American crop, 1862, 900 bales,
all foreign crop, 1864, 900 bales.
Cotton crop Of 1894 -95-Ameri-
can crop, IL, 100000 bales; all
foreign crops, 100000 bales.
The worlds consumption-1868-
SO, 497, 900, bales, 1895-O5, -,
10000 bales.
These figures show that the
cotton consumption Of the world
has increased in the period OF
twenty six years given above
151 per cent. and that while the
combined foreign cotton crops OF
the world have only increased in
that period II per cent. the
American cotton crop has in
creased 81 per cent. In other
words, the entire foreign crops
of the world have been almost
stationary while the imperia
crop OF the South has increased
from 1852, 900 bales to Il, 5OO,O 600
bales of 400 pounds each"
The farmers of the South have
complained more than any other
class of the gigantic trusts OF
the country and the oppression
of the gold bugs. Now let then
take hint from Mr.. Inman
They have natural monopoly
Let them organize it and they
will punish their enemies anc
make barrels of money
! Mr.. Inman also tells the far
mers that a plenty of silver
money would be blessing tt
the farmer. But it would be a,
a nothing compared with 81
organized cotton monopoly. lie
| the farmers drop the free-silve
idea and organize new party OF
the platform Of cotton monopoly
It will go.

BUTTER IN BELGIUM.
The C0nsnmptiOn of Artificial Pro-
ducts In That Country.

The Consumption of Artificial Pro-
ducts In That Country.
George w. Roosevelt, United States con-
sui at Brussels has transmitted to the
State Department a report on butter. mar
jorine and other artificial buffers Of Bel
GUM, which shows that the consumption
of marjorine in that country is about 3d.
100000 pounds. of which only 100000
pounds Is produced in Belgium. Most Of
the marjorine used Is imported from Hol-
land. The consumption is constantly in
creasing. and Is sold in the markets and
under its proper name. The government
is doing what it can to encourage the
manufacture of marjorine, not only to sup
ply the home demand, but to ultimately
compete with Holland for the English mar
ket. England imports over 143,OO0OOO
pounds annually, at a cost of 1880 900.
Most of 1t comes from Holland, where a
speciality Is made of mixing American
oleomargarine with oil and milk. To foster
the home production of marjorine the Bel
GUM government proposed to impose an
import duty of 1886 per 30 pounds A
delegation sent to Holland to ascertain
whether the manufacture of martorine had
been favorable to agricultural interests re-
ported that since the introduction of the
marjorine industry the price of milk and
the number Of cattle had increased, show
ing that 1t had become a source of profit
to the former
