TURNING SOUTHWARK.

The people of the Northwest are just now filled with a longing to move South. The disasters to crops in the West and Northwest and the terrible weather will hasten the hegira. Another fact Is favor- able to the South. The Eastern capitalists have not found their Western investments profitable, and they will transfer their in- vestments to the South. The Springfield Republican has this important statement;
 The New Hampshire savings banks show a net loss in deposits of S6 .o74, ,2eo for the year ending June 30 last. Every year from 1879 down to the last had shown an increase of deposits, which would average for the whole period about $3 1000, 900 a year. At first blush we should attribute the heavy with drawals of the last year to the hard times, but other causes will appear in operation on closer examination. These banks have been investing heavily in Western real estate and paying high rates of dividends on deposits in consequence. Such investments have been turning out disastrously, and to this cause may probably be attributed the reduction in the number of open accounts and in the ag- gregate of deposits during the year.

THE future of the South depends upon it's iron and cotton manufactures. Both of these lines of industry are coeval with the history of the human race. The oldest records tell of 'workers in iron." The use of cotton cloth antedates the Christian era. Cotton has been in use for clothing in India for 5000 years. The natives of the island of Cuba met Columbus with gifts of cotton yarn and thread. Pizarro found the Peruvians clothed in cotton, as Cortez found the Mexicans. When Africa was discovered by the Europeans they found cotton there. Strange to say, the civilized nations were slow to engage in the manu- facture of cotton. The first mention oi cotton being manufactured in England Is in 1641. But now that the civilized nations have turned their energies toward the man. ufacture of cotton they will far excel tho barbaric nations that for centuries had 8 monopoly of this manufacture.

DEATH RECORD.
JUDGE CHARLES GAYARRE.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-Judge Charles Gayarre, the eminent jurist and historian, died at 2 o'clock this morning. In his death Louisiana has sustained an irrepar- able loss.
 He was born in New Orleans in 1S05. After graduating from college and having been admitted to the bar, at the age of 26 he was appointed deputy attorney general of Louisiana in 1881. After being elected judg of the city court he was elected to the state legislature. He was chairman of the house instructed to draft resolutions con- plimentary to the French republic on the success of the revolution in France in 1880. The resolutions were sent to Lafayette. In 1885 Judge Gayarre was elected United States senator for six years, but was never able to assume the office, as at that time the first serious illness of his life, which afterwards developed Into series of mal- adies, began to develop. He resigned his seat in the United States senate and, obey. ing the instructions of his physicians, went to France.
 He was a member of the secession con- vention of Louisiana and heartily in favor of secession. When, in 1863, things be- gan to look very dark for the opfederacy, Judge Gayarre, who was residing then at to have the planters petition congress to anticipate President Lincoln's act of emancipation. His advice was not taken until it was beyond a possibility to secure such a desideratum, and no effort was taken toward the object he had originally sought to effect.
 Judge Gayarre wrote the history of Lou isiana in the earliest settlement up to the year 1717, with all the original documents attached, IA Romance of the History of Louisiana' and history of Louisiana in four volumes. He was also the author of many novels and other literary works.
 The funeral will take place tomorrow at 10:30 a. m.

An Unjust Law.

The State Treasurer has sent out
notices to the Sheriff Of each county
relative to the section OF the revenue
act that places tax of $3.50 on dealers
in pianos and organs, and directs the
sheriff to proceed as the law directs
against parties engaged in selling
pianos or organs in the county. The
law does not apply to agents who take
orders for instruments for factories
or dealers outside the State. 1t is an
unjust law that taxes citizen of the
State $3.50 for doing business and at
the same time those doing the same
business outside the state can stnd
in all the agents they please and pay
no TAX But the Legislature made
the law, and as the State Treasurer
intimates, even if it does appear
burdensome that does not excuse the
Sheriff from executing it.

DIDN'T REACH HIM.
1t is Probable Mr.. Fife Will Begin a
Meeting Here on November Sd.

Meeting Here on November Sd.
The telegram sent to Rev. W. p.
Fife, "the drummer evangelist" in
viting him to begin series of meet
ings here last Sunday, failed to reach
him. We learn that it is probable
that Mr.. Fife will begin the meetings
on November Sd. An idea of Mr..
Fife and his methods may be had
from the following, which appeared in
a recent issue issue of the Dyersburg,
Tenn, Herald:
yesterday at noon Evangelist W.
z. Fife, of Charlotte, N. G, closed a
series OF meetings which he has been
holding here for about two weeks,
assisted by an able young minister,
Mr.. Paul Price. These meetings have
been gospel meetings. and Mr.. Fife
has made the impression here that he
is a sound preacher. Mr. Fife is of the
Moody school of evangelists. Earnest,
dignified and prayerful, he is guilty of
no clap trap methods or horse play of
any kind, but for results he depends
solely upon the spirit and the word,
and consequently the harvests he
gamers for his master are plentiful
and enduring. During all these meet
ings, though he is plain. spoken,
calling things BY their proper names,
his language and sentiments were
chaste and elegant. Though he has
not particularly remarkable COM
mand Of words, his sermons are
characterized by a kind of manly
eloquence that could only emanate
from the heart of true believer and
an earnest follower of Christ. Mr..
Fife has a big heart and kindly
nature. His ministry is tempered
with charity and mellowed by an
honest love for humanity. In short,
we believe he is great preacher,
simply because he is a great Christian.
In this day, when the sacredness OF
the pulpit is not unfreQuently desc
Grated by levity, slang, bIackgudrdism
and sometimes rascality, the evange.
listic work of men like w. p. Fife is
indeed refreshing. This preacher will
add strength to the church of GOO
wherever he goes"

LIGHT LEAF ALES.

More Than 3OO,O 900 Pounds.

More Than 300, 900 Pounds
The past week was another one of
light receipts on our leaf market.
Tobacco will soon begin to come in
freely, and every preparation has
been made for an increas sed business.
Prices are stiff and inclined to advance
since the visit of Jack Frost to the
fields.
There is no change for the new year
in the Winston warehouse firms.
They will continue business at their
same old stands. A few changes have
been made in employees. The muSi-
cal voice of Col. Garland E. Webb, the
well known auctioneer, is again heard
on the warehouse floor here. The old
buyers, whose work last year turned
out profitably for them, are still fol-
lowi Eg the sales, and they have acces-
sion to their work.
INJURED BY THE FROST.
From tobacco men, who have spent
several days in the tobacco Sec
tions, 1t is learned that about 10 per
cent. of the entire tobacco crop was
injured by the recent FROST. About
half of this estimate, or about per
cent. of the entire crop was totally
destroyed. In portions of Rocking
ham the proportion of loss was larger
than in the sections visited by our
tobacco men. We think from all in
formation we can gather that the crop
is seriously injured iG the entire Pied
mont section from 10 to Is per cent

their shipments exceeding three hun

NO PRIZE FIGHT TEXAS.
The Legislature Passes a Strong Law
Against Ii.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 2.-There will
be no prize fight at Dallas, Oct. 31st,
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
This fact was settled this afternoon
by the Texas Legislature in exactly

Section q By the term 'pugilistic
encounter as used in this act, is
meant any voluntary fight or personal

money or any championship, or for
any other thing of value which is bet
or wagered.
''Section 3. That all laws and parts
OF laws in conflict herewith be and
the same are hereby repealed.
''Section 4. The fact that there is
now no adequate penalty against
prize fighting or pugilism, or against
tights between man and beasts,
creates an imperative public necessity
and emergency requiring the suspen-
sion of the constitutional rule reQuir-
ing bills to be read ON three separate
days. and that this law should be
effective and be in force from this
passage. and it is hereby SO enacted. ,,
