IN Lewiston, N. c., by the colored peo-
pie of the adjoining counties there
were three thousand negroes present.
Ex-Congressman Cheatham was the
orator of the day. He said that the
reason why Congress refused to seat
him was the fact that he was a negro.

Vorable for Farm Work.


vorable for Farm Work.
Washington April 1.-THE Weather
Bureau in its weekly review of crop
conditions for the week ended yester-
day says:
In the Southern States the week has
been generally very favorable for farm
work, which has made good progress.
In the more northerly districts. ewing
to the Iateness of the season. farming
operations are much delayed but are
being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible.
Cotton planting is now quite general

belt, is well advanced in the southern
portion, already planted coming up.
Winter wheat is reported as in eX-
cellent condition in Nebraska and
eastern Kansas and is much improved
and looking well in Iowa, Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee and northern
Illinois Less favorable reports are re-
ceived from Ohio, Virginia, Mary land,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania

condition.
No corn has been planted north of
the Ohio river, but some planting has
been done as far north as Kentucky
and Virginia. West of the Mississippi

north as southern Nebraska. Planting

THE VANDALISM SHOULD BE
STOPPED.

If the iconoelast and irresponsible
vandal who is in charge Of the bureau
Of Patronyn1ics in the Post-Office De-
partment is allowed to continue in his
wild career much longer, the familiar
traveller will not know the geography
OF his own country. \ town is known
Inv its name. and if it is an old place
its name is dear to all its inhabitants
and there ought to be no power that
could change it except a vote OF it's
inhabitants.
No autocrat, dressed in a little brief
authority, should be permitted the
sacrilege of changing the ancient and
honored name of Scotland Neck into
simple Scotland" 1t may be that the
young fellow who made this change
in the Postal Guide thought the word
Neck superfuous, but as retalia-
ton the good people Of Scotland Neck
would like to wiring that portion of his
body that supports his head, for be-
heading, as it were, their town. A
meek" may be of no consequence in
Washington, but it is of all import
anee in Scotland particularly at
fancy dress balls and hangings. AL
most as silly is the new-fangled plan
of writing Haw River ''Hawriver,'
Chapel Hill .Chapelhill;" New Hill
"Newhill;" North Wilkesboro north
wiIkesboro,' and so on ad infnitum to
disgusting absurdity. The people APP
prove change that is an improvement,
but there is neither rhyme nor rea-
son in these changes; nothing but
destruction of historical incident
clustered about village or town that
is dear to every community.
1t would be no more the act Of a
yandal to speak of Newyork or New
haven, and yet what good purpose
would be subserved by arbitrarily
changing the name, interviewer with
great historical event, to suit the
within of some fellow whose iconoclas-
tic trend could have free scope is no
place where the people could lay their
hands on him? The indifference of
public officials in non-elective posi-
tions, who feel that they are free from
public castigation, has never been
manifested more widely than in the
autocratic change Of names of post-of-
fees. The Postmaster General ought
to call his iconoclast down.
Among the post-offices in North
Carolina that have felt the hand of the
yandal are Caxstle Hayne which is
now plain Castle; Coddle Creek to
Coddle; Bull Head to Bullhead;
El1erbe Springs to Ellerbe; McAdens-
vile to McAdenviIle; Moffitt's Mills to
Alofitt; Quaker Gap to Quaker;
Archer Lodge to Archer; Toms Creel,
to Tomcreek, etc.
1t may be that in some instances the
names are improved, and are satisfac-
tory to the people, but even when this
is so, no change ought to be made with
out consulting the people. II little
bomb-proof clerk in Washington can
change the names of post-offices to
suit himself, we may wake up some
morning and find Raleigh changed to
Ramkatte and Durham to Bullopolis
or Dul1edom or Carolina.

FORTUNES IN FURS.
An English Furrier Gives Some
 Details of High Prices.
Coats Of Fur That Cost S5,OOO Altered Every Year to Suit the Latest Fashion-Fine Wardrobe of
 Fur Worth S75,OOO.

Speaking of the S4,000 fur coat stolen from Lady Warwick, in connection with her description of herself as a splendid pauper" under the new Eng fish tax laws, furrier says to the Vest minister Budget:
 ''As a matter of fact, S4,0O0 for a lady's fur coat is absolutely nothing out of the way in our experience. On the contrary. it is rather a low price for fur coat of lady of means and of social position. There are large num- bers of such ladies who wear fur coats of about s4, 75O to just over s5,0OO, and now and again, not so very rarely, we make coat up to S7,50O."
 What kind of fur are these coats lined with?".
 'There are three kinds of expensive fur-Russian sable, natural black fox and sea otter. But it is not the lining only that makes a coat expensive The trimming is another very valuable often the most valuable-part. Take a set of Russian sable tails; that alone costs S40,000, nor is this surprising, since we pay s4OO for one tiny skin as it comes to us straight from Russia, in an unprepared state.'
 "Then, what constitutes such a set?"
 Simply plain front, collar and cuffs, and deep garniture round the coat. But remember how many tails go to such a set, and remember, also, that this is the most beautiful fur that could possibly be had"
 II suppose coat like this lasts for ever?"
 Ut does last for many years, unless ladies are careless with it. But if you give them very hard wear and neglect them, it is only natural that they should soon be spoilt"
 But what about changes in fashion? Is the S5,000 fur coat worn whether it is made fashionable or not?'
 'Oh, no; great number of these coats come back to us every year to be altered according to the latest fashion"
 Are your customers of this class very fastidious and troublesome about these costly garnents?"
 No, not in the very least, Of course. there may be exceptions occasionally, but, on the whole, these ladies are far easier to please than many. They have confidence in us; they know that the firm would supply nothing but what
Arizona republican., 1896-03-28

was thoroughly good and genuine. It is the people who want an ancient seal skin jacket altered, or something of that kind, who often prove the most troublesome. They seem to think that we can put the fur back on the animal, nd turn it, from being worn and rot ten, into new material. We do any thing which it is possible to do; but to turn old fur into new is beyond the limitation of even the cleverest fur rier."
 ''To return to the splendid paupers' fur. What constitutes a complete wardrobe of furs?">
 "A long coat, short one, perhaps d third, trimmed with fur, and huff and cape. Such a wardrobe is worth several thousands, and you would be surprised to know how many ladies have such wardrobe. They look upon their furs as upon their jewels, it -.ccms. 1 know one customer of our. whose wardrobe of fur is worth S75, ,OOO, and only the other day we made coat for S10,000, and the trimming for the coat of another lady cost s5, 5,0O0."
 ''Then abolt fur coats for men. It looks as if they were becoming more popular. Is that so?''
 ''It is, indeed. Even six or seven years ago Englishmen seemed ashamed to wear fur coats, and if you saw a man in such a coat you set him down at once to be either an actor, an artist or 2 foreigner. That is no longer so, al though there are still a good many men who are a little shy about the matter They want fur coat, but they don't want it to be recognized as such So they have coat lined with fur, but they don't have fur collar or cuffs. And since we have made it for years special feature to make fur coats fit, it is quite possible for man to wear a fur-lined overcoat that looks exactly like an ordinary overcoat.
 ''The majority of men, however, do not mind it being noticed that they wear fur coats. And why should they? Surely man who goes out to his club or to dinner at night, in evening dress, which is much thinner than the clothes he wears during the day, requires fur coat. But men's coats are far less ex- pensive than ladies'. We make them up to S2,500 or S3,000, but we also sell good coats, lined with musl1rat (which is the best fur for wear), at $50 That is our cheapest coat. The average price a man pays is from s250 to s5OO,- but there again the collar and cuffs form an important part of thevalue."
