IN IT'S INFANCY.

A prominent citizen of Raleigh re-
ceived letter a few days ago from
citizen of Houston, Texas, asking for in
formation relative to the cotton mill in
dustry of North Carolina.
Think of it A leading citizen in a
ssty that handles million bales of cot
ton every year seeking informationabout
cotton manufacturing of gentleman in
a city that handles less than so, 600 bales
per year. 1t shows that the primacy
held by North Carolina in the cotton
manufacturing industry of the South is
recognized far and near.
The manufacture of cotton goods in
the South, increasing as it is in few
States, is but in its infancy. The South
is destined in the not far distant future
to manufacture most of the cotton it
produces. When we sell the fabrics at
from forty cents to one dollar pound,
instead of from five to ten cents, the cot
ton belt will be the most prosperous sec
ton of the Union.
All that is needed to hasten the com
ing of that day is
Capital,
Brain,
Drawn.
We have much more of the first than
we proftably use, more of the second
than VIC have learned to employ wisely,
and an abundance of the latter that
needs only proper direction.
There is a better opening to-day for
immigrants to North Carolina than any
where else in the world.

A DISTINGUISHED NORTH CARO-.
LINIAN.

We are glad to publish a communica-
ton from Capt. n. A. Ramsey, of Dur
ham, showing that an honor similar to
the one Minister Ransom received this
week, was enjoyed by the late Willie P.
Mangum, Jr Shortly after the inaugu-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln, it is related that
Mr.. Mangnm called to see the President
and made application for certain con-
sulship. The President spoke pleasantly
and cordially about it to the aspirant and
directed him to call to see the Secretary
of State. He waited several days before
doing so, and when he did call was in
formed by Mr.. Seward that an appoint
ment had been made to the place Mr..
Mangum desired. Mr. Seward, who had
been friend and admirer of Mr.. Man
gums father, showed the son every
courtesy, and expressed his regret that
he had not called sooner.
This ended the matter, and Mr.. Man
gum gave no further thought to it. A
few days later he was surprised to read
in the Star that he had been appointed
consul to Ningpo, China. His widow
resides in Washington, D. c., having re
turned to her old home after his death
in 1881. She has many memorials Of
the esteem in which he was held.

OUR EXHIBIT AT ATLANTA.

Prof. J. A. Holmes, State Geologist,
who is at Atlanta with the exhibit from
North Carolina, telegraphed the News
AND OBSERVER:
ATLANTA, Sept. 18 The North Caro-
lima forestry and mineral exhibits were
ready at the opening of the exposition,
and were unsurpassed by those from any
other State. J. a. HOLMES.
The State owes a great debt to Prof.
Holmes that it is represented at all at
Atlanta, as well as to the fact that its
exhibits, unsurpassed by those from any
other State, were in position at the open
ing. If North Carolina has more use
full and unselfsh, public spirited citizen

for Lieutenant Governor on a Demo-
cratic ticket. - Warrington Post.
When DR.. Depew was younger and
poorer, he was a Democrat. He was de
feated, became rich and popular and
went over to the Republicans. He is
very much like the man brought up in a

quits the old fashioned church Of his
father and mother, and joins the most
fashionable congregation in the city.

MEDICINE COMPOUNDERS
The Glass of '95 That Has Graduated
in the California College of
Pharmacy.

For two weeks past the faculty Of the
California College of Pharmacy of the
University of California has been busy ex-
aiming the papers of the young men who
have finished their course of study and are
to graduate as the class of '95.
The faculty consists of:
Martin Kellogg, president of the university;
William T. WenzelI, NJ. D.. Phi. e., Phi. NJ,
professor of chemistry; Hermann e. Behr,
NJ. D., emeritus professor of botany; Jerome
J: B. Argenti, Phi. G., professor OF botany;
medca and dean; G. A. seifeT, PR. G., proes
sor OF pharmacy; Jerome J. B. Argent. Phi. c.,
professor of microscopy and vegetable his.
analytical and pharmaceutical chemis try and
director OF the laboratories; Josephine E. Bar
bat, Phi. g., Instructor or botany; H. E. D.
BesthOrn, Phi. G., instructor in pharmacy; O.
A, Weihe, Phi. G., instructor in materia medica;
r. A. Leet, Phi. G., instructor in chemistry; NJ.
r. Gibson, Phi. g., instructor in microscopy
The college of pharmacy is located at
113 Fulton street, but the examinations
were conducted in California Hall, at $50
Bush street, where the students were set
at table six feet away from each other so
that they could not exchange notes. Each
student was given fictitious name and all
papers had to be signed with the name
given instead Of the real one, so that the
professors who examined them could do so
without knowing whose papers they were
examining, and in that way render an i'm
partial verdict upon each. There were
thirty-four students in the senior class who
came up for the examination, and the
labor was concluded last night, when the
names of those who were successful were
made known. This class, said Professor
Searby, the dean of the college, is the
largest that has ever graduated, and he
was proud of the work accomplished during
the term.
The following is the list of those who
have, by their attention to their studies,
acquired the right to be licensed as phar-
maclsts.
Adial Sabin Jones, San Francisco; Haydn
Mozart Simmons, San Francisco; Joseph Louis

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
The Geodetic Survey Completes an
Arc of Parallel Across the
0ntinRnt.

The geodetic survey of the United States
to determine the arc of parallel, which was
begun twenty-four years ago and which
has been carried on with more Or less
rapidity ever since, was completed a short
time ago and the results of the labors of
the surveying crew are now being placed
in proper form at the Washington head
quarters of the survey.
The results will be of vast Importance to
landowners in all parts of the Union, for
the lines run blythe surveyors ard the
computation of distances made by them
are official and will be accepted in the set
Element of all disputes between Iand-own-
ers as to the boundaries of their properties.
The western terminus of the line, which
follows the thirty-ninth parallel, is at
Point Arena in this State and the eastern
end at the lighthouse at Cape May. thus
connecting the two oceans that bound the
continent on the east and west. The sur
vey which has Just been finished began on
both sides of the continent, the western
start being made from the Yolo County
base, which is considered the most reliable
and convenient on this coast.
The parties joined forces first at Pixies
Peak and later on Mount Uncompahgre in
Southwestern Colorado. Here the two
lines were made one, which has been
marked throughout the breadth of the
country by strong and durable monu-
ments, which are expected to last for centu-
ries.

has been remanded to his custody by the
Supreme Court. She had been taken to
the higher tribunal on writ of habeas
corpus.
When the child case came before Judge
Coffey for hearing the parents we're

dered without making any objection and
without submitting any evidence. After
the decree, however, they secured a
writ OF habeas corpus from the Supreme
Court, but the decision blocks all attempts
to gain possession of the child by that
means.
The girl was ill-treated at home, and
was accordingly placed in charge of the
secretary of the society. In their writ the
parents claim that the court had no juris-
dlctlon to assign the child to the secre-
tary's care.
The higher court holds, however, that if
they had any reason to oppose the grant
Ing OF letters OF guardianship to General
McComb, they should have opposed it in
the lower court. They were present and
heard the proceedings in silence, ard they
cannot now secure possession of the child
by habeas corpus.

are advanced, based, as they say, upon
scientific researches, and which are often
loudly heralded by the most profound men in
the allopathie school, but finally are demon
strated to be worthless?
For example of this fact 1 call attention to
the liver pad, electric disk Koch's Iymnh
antitoxine, etc.
These and many others have proven to be of
no benefit, and some OF them have done much
harm.
To be good allopathic doctor one must keen
within the prescribed boundaries of ga code OF
medical laws"
They have from time immemorial been ruled
with a rod of iron.
By this code" one must swear not to go be-
yond 1t in investigations, under no less penalty
than that OF being communicated from pro-
fessional fellowship.
All outside the rank and file of old-school
physic Is not worthy of consideration. ASK an
allopath to show his authority for condemning
other methods OF treatment, and ten chances
to one he will not have HOMEOPATHIC or eclec-
tic work in his library.
There are many who will argue that The old
school has been modified and changed, and
that all schools eclectic in the sense that
they choose the best from all sources. TO such,
let me say, "read the past records of the old
school," What constituted the barbaric farce
called scientific medicine during the first half
OF the present century, and what were the re-
suits OF its treatment? Loss OF teeth, decaving
bones, diseases OF the liver and bowels iner-
curial rheumatism and other affections too
numerous TO mention.
Many of the older practitioners have wit
messed these things. and to them it is an I'M
pleasant reality; still they point back with
pride to the records of the "fathers of medi-
cine"
Look over the history of eclectism, and from
its foundation up to the present day it has
been humane, sensible and progressive in
medical treatment.
On May 3, 1880, class of sturdy men seeing
the wrongs of medical practice and knowing
the superiority of milder means had the cour.
age to say SO. A college was established at
Worthington, Ohio, in 1882. and from that
day until the present there has been steady
advance in medical treatment and to-day it is
generally acknowledged that disease is not a
thing to be removed by violent drugs, but that
1t is process to be directed.
What constitutes q regular practitioner /? As
far as law is concerned one school has no ad-
vantage over another; far as patronage
goes we treat the most intelligent and wealthy
class OF people; by curing patient we do not
produce disease that is far more dangerous
to life than the one he ALREADY had.
! am well aware that the eclectic like other
schools, has men in its ranks that disgrace
them. But in this direction we do not leave
the old school so far behind as we do in our
medical treatment. An ignorant man may
disgrace eclectism, but he cannot practice it.
The public sentiment is in favor of liberty,
no matter whether 1t be religion, politics or
medicine, and, the eclectic being the only lib
eral school OF medicine in the world has in
store Tor 1t bright future.
