Result of the Revolt.

The revolt in the Democratic party last fall
was because, as alleged, the, ticket was die
tated by two men and bossism had become
intolerant.
We call the attention of those who revolted
to the following statement of Mr.. Wellington,
in an interview published in the Baltimore
papers of last Friday, concerning his call
upon Gov. Lowndes in reference to his posi-
,ion in the fight for United States Senator:
sought an interview with the Governor
last night for the purpose of getting at an I'M
derstanding. / have been his friend through
out the campaign. But for my efforts DO
not think he could have been nominated and
nerhaps not elected, and naturally want to
know now where he stands. told him that
| expected him to be my friend in this light,
and he assured me he was friendly.
Here is a plain admission by Wellington
that he nominated Mr.. Lowdes. He is aware
of the means he used, and of the effect OBJ
tanned. and he says he nominated the Cover
nor. He not only boldly asserts this, but he
claimed as a reward the support of the Gov
eruor for United States Senator.
Those who revolted against the Democratic
ticket because it was nominated by t'oo men,
jumped into the frying-pan and voted ticket
nominated by one man. They did more
thew turned the state over to the Republican
party, with bosship equal to any ever charged
in the Democratic party, gave the Republi-
cans United States Senator, and placed
them long way toward getting another, and
made the state debateable in a President cleo
ton.
The ADVOCATE has no criticism to make OF
the course ofvoters, but merely desires TO call
attention to several facts,

GOLD IN VIRGINIA.
Northern Capitalists to Mine 1t On a
Large Scale.

A dispatch from Richmond, Va, says that
Messrs. N. X. Fairbank, the millionaire lard
refiner of Chicago; L. X. Willard and I. ID.
Hooper, bankers, of New York; Gen. T. NJ.
Logan of Richmond, Va, and others have or
ganized at Richmond the Piedmont Gold Belt
Chartered Company, with capital stock of
81, 900, 900, for the purpose of developing on
a very extensive scale some large gold mining
properties, aggregating several thousand acres
in Buckingham county, Va.
Many years before the war gold-mining was
carried on in that section extensively, and
some of the most noted geologists of the day,
including the late Prof. William B. Rogers of
Virginia, Professor Silliman of Yale and
others, reported that should these properties
be developed by deep mining system and pro-
per treatment of ores they would become of
national importance because of the enormous
quantity of high grade ore. Like many other
Southern industries, the mining operations in
that locality were abandoned when the war
came on, and since then the properties have
remained undeveloped Modern methods for
the reduction of ores have made feasible the
utilization at great advantage of such ores as
these in Buckingham county, and the investi-
cations of these Western and Northern people
who have secured this property indicate that
the average analysis of the ores are higher
than either the Cripple Greek or the South
African ores.
The reports of their experts have fully con-
frmed the statements made by noted geolo-
oglsts before the war, and their investigations
have demonstrated such remarkably favorable
conditions that it is claimed they have secured
control of the entire district and that their
operations will be extensive. This is thought
to be one of the most important gold mining
operations which such prominent Capitalists
of the North and West have ever undertaken
in the South. The company is organized on
the basis of controlling the entire territory,
and not only engaging extensively in mining
on its own account, but sub-letting its mining
interests in part to subsidiary companies.

A. Lakes Bottom Drops Out.

SAX DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, January To-
Prof: Edwin H. Coffey received today letter
from his former home, near Lake Chapala,
state of Jalisco, Mexico, giving an account of
the sinking of the bottom Of that lake. That
volcanic part of Mexico is south of Guadala-
lara, between Mexico City and the Pacific
Ocean, and is one of the richest portions of
the republic. In the forenoon of January
residents of small settlement near the
western end of the lake were terrified to see
a gigantic, mysterious whirlpool far out on the
water. The water swirled and rose in great
serpentine movements and from all directions
rushed towards common center, where
stupendous cavern seemed to exist. The
weather was clear and calm, and people on
shore could hear rumbling out on the lake
and beneath their feet in the earth.
The whirlpool, resulting apparently from
the sinking of the lakes bottom, was of wide
extent, and many pleasure boats and fishing
craft wers sucked into the abyss. Natives on
shore could plainly see boats, none of which
were near the center OF the whirlpool at first,
but AS the rush of water continued It's force
could not be overcome.
The whirlpool continued near twenty min
utes, and the lake receded several feet from
its former shore line As the lake is about
fifty miles long, with an average width of ten
miles, the enormous amount of water swal-
lowed by the earth may be imagined.
Professor Coffey is familiar with Lake
Chapala. having explored much of its coast
line in 1888. At that time he found petroleum
and coal in quantities that proved the existence
of vast wealth in that region. Since the
strange occurrence last Wednesday petroleum
has been found running in small streams
above the surface on the Southern shore.
Lerma River empties into Lake Chapala,
on the western side, and flows out in a north
westerly direction, under the name of Colotlan
River.
Lake Chapala is in the center of distinctly
volcanic district, and it is not far from the
volcano of Colima, always active. 1t is also
very near the Jorullo Vulcano, which rose in
q night from level plain in the year 1889.
AfteF the strange sinking of Lake Chapala,
no unusual aotiyity was noticed in the volcano
or in that region.

Cotton Mills in North Carolina.

The report of the Labor Commissioner
of North Carolina for 1895 is just out. As to
cotton manufacturing, it is given the first
place. During 1895 no less than 81 new mills
were built, making the total number in opera
ton 176. Besides this IL others were under
construction when the year ended. This is
great progress. During the year the mills
used 25,000,000 pounds of cotton, and the
careful estimate is made that 30, 0co, 600 more
pounds will be required to operate them in
1896. There were in the last day of the year
over !, ZOO, 000.spindles and over n, 600 looms,
the capital employed being $l5, 900, 600, and
the employees numbering 4,S88 men, 6,l75
women and 1859 children, 1858 of the latter
being under fourteen. The cotton consumed,
800, 600 bales, was within Al, 600 of the States
estimated product of $50, 900 bales. 1t is as
serted both by the labor bureau and the agri-
cultural department that this year the mills
will consume the whele crop of the State.
Already brick are being burned for new mills
to be constructed, and the increase in these
will show no falling off. There are mills in
&c of the Sc counties, and they are all the way
from Elizabeth City, nearly on the coast, to
Asheville, beyond the Blue Ridge. In
Alamana county, which leads with % mills,
there are over 5000 operatives.
The product of the cotton mills was 49,
473, 900 pounds yarns, 81, Ia, 600 yards do
mestics, 81, 737, 900 yards plaids. The wooden
mills made Is, 442 900 yards. 1t is worth
noting that Forsythe alone made $4,000, 900
yards. Ceburne made the remainder.

Kentucky's Senator.

Senator Blackburn has been renominated
by the Democratic caucus of the Kentucky
Legislature, and Congressman ", Godfrey
Hunter by the Republican caucus. The Leg
islature was tie between the Democrats and
Republicans on joint ballot, with two Popu-
lists holding the balance ofpower. Just after
the Democratic caucus acted, Democratic
member of the House from Nelson county
died, breaking the tie. The balloting for
Senator begins next Tuesday, and the Demo-
Gratis are determined 10 delay vote until the
special election in Nelson county is de cided.
The new man will be Demoosst end it is
expected he will be on hand on Puesday.
The two Populists, it is said, are included to
support Republican, but are not kindly dis
posed toward Hunter.
Another Democratic member of the Legis-
iature is too i'll to attend the session. and
Hunter will no doubt be elected.

Among the fruit and flower novelties which
1896 brings us. we notice that the enterpris-
ing and reliable firm of James Vick's Sons,
Rochester, N. Y, are already calling atten-
ton to three, which seem to have wen great
favor where known. They are the Double
Sweet Pea, the only one in the world true to
name, bride of Niagara;" the early Leader
Tomato" the earliest of all the early tomato
family and sure to become a great favorite,
and the already famous blackberry, the ''Rath-
bpn.n From the praise and compliments
given so abundantly to the bride Of Mag
ara, this sweet pea must be more than charm
ing and from the encomiums layished ON both
the new tomato and this new blackberry, it is
pretty certain no garden desiring to have the
first and best of everything, can be without
these three new corners. By the way, read
ers, are any of you so far behind the times as
not to know ''Vick's Floral Guide Pr If any
of you have never seen it, send 10 cents to this
firm at Rochester, y. Y, and get copy.
You can deduct this from the first order for
seeds and the pleasure and information their
Guide will give you will certainly induce you
to keep up the acquaintance.

For we knew that he must die;

We will speak thy name in a softened voice
And cover thy grave with flowers.

Pride of all our hearts at home;
But the angels whispered softly
Little John do come home.
The little bed Is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;

In deaths cold arms doth lie.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band,
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
