The Roanoke Colony Memorial As.
ISOLATION Of North Carolina intends to
erect an appropriate memorial on Ro-
anoke Island, North Carolina, where
Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists settled
in 1886 aud 1887, and on which was
born in 1887 Virginia Dare, the first
child Of English .parentago born in
America. The association appeals to
all users of tobacco, and dealers in it
especially, to contribute to this object
at least the value of two or three
cigars, inasmuch as Sir Walter Raleigh
first discovered tobacco at Roanoke.
The President of the association is
Graham Dawes, of Newbern, North
Carolina.

The Columbia Is. o. State says: 'Tt
is not to the interest of the South that
its commercial and financial operations
shall be limited to one channel; it is
greatly to its interest that it shall
have close relations with more than
one metropolis. We want to see New
York and Chicago competing for the
trade of the Southeast, for the newt
able result of that competition will be
to give us better terms and greater
consideration. The Eastern metrop-
oils has heretofore taken our trade as
matter of course, with hardly an ef-
fort and without thanks. Southern
trade more than Northern has made
New York great. Now we want Chi
cago to bid for it, and get what she
can Of it by offering cheaper goods,
better accommodations, easier terms.
There is no prejudice, no feeling in
matter. We simply offer our trade to
the highest bidder. The West has not
sent money here to build cotton mills
and uphold banks because it had no
business relations with us of the sort
requiring or prompting such action,
and because it has been until recently
itself very great borrower from the
East to develop its own resources.
We do not assert that the feeling OF
the West towards the South is warmer
than that Of the East, or that the East
merits our commercial hostility. We
only say that it is better to have two
buyers of our products than one two
offerers of goods and money and &C
commodations than one twoinvestor
and developers than one. There j
no sentiment in the matter so far o
We are concerned. It is business
strictly business. ,"

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
Forty People Lose Their Lives in
Michigan.

Michigan.
The cyclone which devastated the
northern portion of Oakland county,
Michigan, Monday evening swept a
path half q mile wide and sixteen miles
long, from west to east, clearing the
earth of nearly everything movable.
About forty people were killed out
right and fully that number we're in
iured, some of whom will die. The
Cyclone first struck the earth six miles
west of Ortonville and passed half
mile north of the village. In these six
miles of devastated country before
Ortonville was reached, fifteen persons
were killed and twenty injured, some
fatally.
At the Mitchell homestead not a
trace of the home and farm buildings
remains but the foundations. There
are nothing hut foundations to show
where the home of Abram Quick
stood. Six occupants of the house
were killed and one seriously injured.
Prescott Wilkins, one of those killed
in the Quick home, had reached there
on visit but an hour before the cy-
sloue tore its way through.
The home of John Wilkie, on line
with Ortonville, was unframed, but
his barns were wiped out. Mr.. Wilkie
and his son John, aged eighteen, were
in the barn when it was demolished.
The son was instantly killed and the
father is in critical condition.
In the next half dozen miles of the
track of the storm only two persons
were killed, and the damage was COM
paratively light.
The clouds struck lakewood almost
without warning, and there is little
left of the village today. The Metho-
dist Episcopal and Congregational
churches, the town hall, practically all
the business houses and most of the
residences were left in ruins. Nine
persons were killed in the village and
many injured.
The three-mile stretch from Oak
wood to Thomas is a scene OF heart
rending desolation and wreckage.
Everything in the path of the cyclone
was leveled. In and around Thomas,
the death list is large and many are
injured.
After completing its work of de-
struction at Thomas, the cyclone
evidently separated, one section going
northeast and doing an immense
amount Of damage between Thomas
and Dryden, in Napier county, and
the other following a southeasterly
direction to North Oxford. Nine peo-
pie were killed near Oxford.
The next heard from the storm was
near Walkerville, Ontario, twenty miles
due south OF Mount Clemens. The
I cyclone evidently expended its force
after striking Canada, as no other re-
ports Of damage have been received.

The Property Protection Society of
England sends out a little leahet en-
titled "The Expenditure of a Great
Landowner" The landowner is the
Duke Of Bedford, and the lands are
his Thorney and Wansford estate. His
outlay, according to Mr.. Wilson Fox.
one of the assistant commissioners to
the Royal Commission on Agriculture,
during the twenty-one years from 1872
to 1894, was over S2,65O,OOO. The
total rent received from the property
during that period was 1850, 900.
Thus the average annual outgoings
represented 70.6 per cent. of the aver
age annual rent received, without de-
Quoting income tax. The net income
derived from the estate in 1893 gave
no rent at all for the land, and repre-.
sented only ga per cent. on the sums
spent on buildings.

Line, and cannot believe that Post
master General Wilson would publish
to the world charges of such serious
nature without first giving our line an
opportunity to explain. Some Of our

Mrstn,t Shave Women.

A strange incident occurred in Bonn
bay recently. A monster meeting of
Hindoo BARRIERS was held for the purpose
of considering the question of the i'm
propriety of shaving the heads of Hin
doc widows and thereby disfguring
them for life. About 400 BARRIERS hav-
ing assembled, one of them, named Ba-
bajee More, read a pamphlet in NAH
ratti, in which he stated that the bar
bers of old were happy and contented,
but latterly, as though curse had de-
scended on their heads, trade had fallen
off, and they had become poor. The
curse could only be accounted for by the
fact that they were committing great
sin In shaving the heads of poor, limo
cent widows, thus depriving them OF
their best ornament. 1t was against the
Hindoo scriptures to deprive widow OF
her hair, and doubtless it was the curses
of the widows that had lowered their
calling. The meeting thereupon unani-
mously resolved that no barber should
shave a widows head, and that if he
did he should be communicated.

A BOY HERO.
He Ike pit His Promise, Though 1t Cost Him

He Ike pit His Promise, Though 1t Cost Him
His Life.
The Confederate Veteran is engaged
in noble work in its effort to have
monument erected to the young hero
Sam Davis, who died the death of spy
rather than betray secret that would
have saved his life, but doomed another
to the same death. Sam Davis was spe-
cial agent for General Bragg, and he
had obtained valuable information Civ
en- him in confidence and ON the prom
Use that he would never betray the
source of his information. He was not a
SPY, for we believe he wore his Confed-
crate gray when captured, but the pa
pers on his person showed that he had
from some one obtained secret informa-
ton. His life and safe escort into the
Confederate lines were promised him it
he would give the name of the informer,
but he chose to die instead. He was but
a boy, and the temptation must have
been powerful. But he was hero. No
marble shaft or statue in bronze towers
above the dust of nobler life than that
of the fair haired stripping who kept his
faith and his honor and died rather
than break a promise.
If monuments are to be built, 1t IS
better to build them in commemoration
of noble character and a simple life
true to the last breath to a knightly
standard of honor than to genius or to
brilliant achievements. There is les
son for the humblest as well as the
highest in the martyrdom of Sam Davis.
Every man cannot be genius. Only the
highly favored few can win renown by
great deeds. Sam Davis was not OF
these. His title to the admiration Of his
countrymen rests in a simple, steadfast,
unwavering devotion to duty and to a
principle of honor. 1t is a character to
which the common soldier in life's bat
tie may attain. The youth of the land
cannot copy the mighty genius of Lee,
but they may be taught to love truth
and honor, to be faithful even unto death
like Sam Davis.

"a Good SIGN"

PITTsFIELD, Mass, Jan. 15.-In the
course of a mass meeting last night to aid
Armenian sufferers, ex-senator Dawes
said: "Sympathy for human suffering is
calculated to stir up ones best feelings
and impulses. 1t is grievous enough
when this is caused by famine or pesti-
lence, but it especially appeals to man
when the suffering is caused by man him
self. At first the news that the Red Gross
had been forbidden to do its work OF
mercy was disheartening; but, after all,
it is a good sign. 1t is the last throes of

BOSTON, Jan. 15.-The petition of Will
lam Pride of Pennington, Me-, for a writ
of habeas corpus for custody of his 2-year-
old child, William NJ Pride, was called
up in the supreme court yesterday. The
little one was taken from the home of its
grandmother, Mrs. E1fie Saunders, Lynn,
by the deputy sheriff last week, by virtue
of the writ, and was in court yesterday
morning. His mother is dead. The
habeas corpus case was settled for the
time being by counsel for the father and
the grandmother, Mrs Saunders, who is
the mother of Mrs Pride, agreeing that
the child shall be kept in the custody of
his grandmother on his fathers side until
an application for his custody, that has
been filed in the probate court, is deter
