TME LARGEST CIRCULATION OFF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY

possible in an form for the United
States to regard with indifference"
At Mr.. Davis request, the resolution
went to the Senate calendar.
Mr.. Gray, Dem., DELI stated that
he desired it understood that the favor
able report was not unanimous.
Mr.. Sewell, (Rep. n. j. then ad-
dressed the Senate on his resolution,
reciting that President Cleveland had
extended the Monroe doctrine beyond
it's proper scope, and enunciating the
principle that the doctrine was for the
interest of the United States, and was
not an obligation to aid and protect
Southern republics.
Mr.. Sewell gave the circumstances
under which the Monroe doctrine was
announced. The doctrine served its
purpose of that day in checking the
plans of the Holy Alliance to extend
it's power on the American continents.
The Senator quoted from resolutions
of Congress in 1925 and speeches by
Mr.. Webster showing the exact pur-
poses and original scope of the Monroe
doctrine In 1885 Senator Clayton, of
Delaware, pointed out in the Senate
that the doctrine of Monroe was not
addressed to foreign nations, but was
a mere recommendation which Con-
gress declined at the time and has
ever since declined to accept. The
Congress sitting at the time of the
Monroe message strongly opposed the
doctrine. Henry Clay offered a modi-
fled resolution, but it could not pass.
Lewis Cass referred to the doctrine as
a dead letter Mr. Sewell gave the po-
sition of John Quincy Adams, Jack
son, Van Buren, and other statesmen
on the doctrine, showing the constant
and unsuccessful opposition to it.
Taking up the Venezuelan question,
Mr.. Sewell pointed out that the Presi-
dents opposition involved the most
extreme and dangerous application Of
the doctrine thus far made.
Venezuela had been in state Of
constant turmoil and revolution for
twenty-five years, said Mr.. Sewell.
These people of the Southern repub-
lies were subject to internal discord
and geyolution 1t behoOved the
United States to pause and consider
well the extent of an obligation which
made us the guardian of these turbu-
lent countries That they would give
offence to foreign countries was un-
doubted.
At the close OF Mr. Sewell's speech
Mr. Daniel Dem, Va gave notice
that he would address the Senate ON
the subject Thursday next.
Mr.. Call (Fla.) secured leave 10 have

the House to-day was devoid of public
interest. Quite a number of bills of
minor and purely local Importance
were passed and the bill appropriate
ing the money necessary to carry on
the establishment at the military acad-

HOW EUROPE MAY RETAIIATE.

Paris, Jan. 20.-The Eclaire to-day,
commenting on the added suggestions
of the Monroe doctrine, remarks:
Does the American government think
it is strong enough to appropriate to
its own interest one of the two hemis-
pheres and forbid Europe to have ac-
cess to at least half Of the world? If
it pushes it's extravagant pretensions
TO this point. the only thing that can
happen will be that all Europe viii
arrive at an understanding by which
they win close their ports to American
ships, a measure which will make
America assume an attitude she can
not MAINTAIN"

CY. WATSON FOR GOVERNOR.
Holton Will Not Now Call the Repub-
ican Committee Together.


Winston, n. c., Jan. 20.-(Special.) -
Chairman Holton was asked to-day if
he expected to call meeting of the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee at an early date. He replied that
no meeting would be called until after
his return from Texas in which State
he will be for ten days. He left for
Texas tonight to look after the
settlement of large estate at Dallas,
left by Isaac Carter, who moved from
Yadkin county, this State, sixty years
ago.
A gentleman who has been travel
ing through the eastern part of the
State SAYS he found strong senti-
ment in many sections favoring c. D..
Watson, of Winston, for Governor.
Many of the eastern people think Mr..
Watson would make the ablest canvass
of any man the Democrats could nomi-
nate.
The incoming freight train between
Winston and Greensboro broke loose
this morning. The rear section ran
into the front, doing much damage,
and iniuring several train men. Con-
ductor Hatchie was knocked insensi-
BILE for some time by the jar. Brake
man John Icehouse was seriously if
not fatally injured, while fagman
Albert Carpenter was painfully
bruised.
J. w. Coke, of Norfolk, Va, passed
through Winston to-day on his return
home from Montgomery, Ala. He was
travelling on bicycle. He stops at
every town and has been thirteen days
on the road.

DEATH OF REV. DR.. ARMITAGE
Was For Many Years President of the
American Bible Union.


New York, Jan. 20.--The Rev DIR.
Thomas Armitage, the well-known
Baptist minister, died to-day at his
home in Yonkers, n. Y. At the age of
sixteen he was licensed as a preacher
in the Methodist Church. In 1888 he
came TO New York and began preach
ing, continuing in the Methodist
Church until 1848, when he was bap-
tized into the Baptist Church. In June
of that year he accepted the call of the
Norfolk Street Church. succeeding the
Rev. George Benedictine.
In June, 1886, DIR. Armitage became
president of the American Bible Union
and was a very active member His
history of the Baptist Church, written
in 1856, is the acknowledged history
Of the denomination, and his volume

Trees az Grape Trellises.

We very often see trees Of various
kinds used as supports for grape vines.
1t is usually done as the result of neg
lect, for the tree trellis in the end costs
more than one built Of wood and wire.
There Is no advantage in having a
trellis more than seven or eight feet In
height. This will enable the grower to
gather the grapes easily, and will also
make the necessary pruning less diff
cult. On a high tree the extra cost Of
pruning the vine more than offsets any
advantage 1t may have for the grape
vine trained on it. Besides, tree COW
cred continuously in summer with q
growing vine is soon so smothered by
the foliage that it's own top will die
and become unsightly.

difficulties mentioned, as 1t is easily

pouring In food and for removing any

companying sketch so plainly shows
the construction that detailed descrip-
ton does not appear to be necessary.

Y Advance sheets ofigAuditorf General
Turner's annual report for the year end
ing June 30, 1895, are given to the news
papers. ~ FtSo
! In the opening paragraph of the re-
port the Auditor General states that the
tax law Of 1893, with the amendments of
1895, have more than fulfilled the expec-
tations Of the trainers. At the present
time, II IL said, many old taxes are being
paid and the lists Of delinquent taxes are
growing less. In the opinion Of the Audi
tor Generalthe refusal of the Governor to
sign the clearance sale law passed by the
Inst Legislature has contributed mate
lrially, to this result, and saved the State
nearly q quarter of a million of dollars.
The Auditor is greatly antagonistic to
clearance sales, and he discusses the sub
ject at considerable length. "A few facts,
not heretofore published" it is said, 'but
which were gathered from the records Of
this department on the request Of several
members of the Legislature during the
session recently closed, will show the re-
suit of the clearance sales heretofore pro-
vided for. Seven such sales have been
authorized and held, and from the entire
number the sum Of $63, 450.25 was real
lied, while during the FIVE months pre-
ceding the compilation Of these data,
sos, 244.S6 was received for sales from
the State tax land list in the ordinary
course Of business under the general tax
law Of 1893. The seven clearance sales
left but comparatively few descriptions
upon which the accumulated taxes might
be recovered by later sales, while in five
months Of the ordinary course Of collec-
tions by sale Of State tax lands, 5000
more was received than from the seven
clearance sales, and over 1000 descrip-
tions remained upon the list, and sales
therefrom are being constantly made.

HUsrLING HOLLAND.
This Thrifty Town IL Always Headed

This Thrifty Town 1s Always Headed
the Right Way.
The little city of Holland, on an arm OF
Lake Michigan known as Black Lake, is
probably the only town in Michigan which
was not staggered by the recent hard
times and financial panic. The thrifty
Dutch who comprise about half the pop
ulation and the Americans who make up
the other half could sec nothing ahead but
n bright future, and so instead Of allow
ing any of their business interests to halt,
they went ahead expanding them. To-
day there is not a vacant house in the
city, nor any idle men who wish to work.
The latest move toward general improve
ment Is the building of good roads. The
city itself has always been noted for fine
streets, but now the work Is taken up on
the highways leading to the agricultural
and horticultural districts. In this work,
the citizens are greatly aided by the lib
erality Of the Holland Chicago Transport
tation Company, which runs daily line
of boats. This company stands one-third
Of the expense upon seversl roads. The
fruit interests, of the territory immedi
ately adjacent to Holland have expanded
% wonderfully that the action Of the

Farm Notes.

Calico print works use forty million
dozen eggs per year, wine CHARTERS use
ten million dozen, photographers and
other Industries use many millions,
and these demands increase more rap
idly than table demands.
A short, compact body in a SOW in
dicates a tendency to fatten, and not
to bring large filters and furnish them
with milk. Select those with long
bodies, well-rounded ribs and ten to
twelve teats, well spread apart.
If the soil requires nitrogen the
cheapest mode of securing it is to grow
clover, but a farmer should not wait
before supplying nitrogen to the soil.
The clover may be ready next season,
but it will pay to use nitrate of, soda
or sulphate Of ammonia to get the de-
sired results this season.

An old cow may be giving as good
results as one that is younger, and II
so she should be retained as long as
she can continue profitable, as she will

matter In considering the merits Of a
COW.
While the horses are young make 1t
a constant effort to teach them to be

Pruning in the Bud.

Successful pruning requires some cal
culation and imagination. The branch
es that grow out of shape or run into
others and so spoil the tree were orig
inally only buds that could be brushed
off with the thumb and finger. 1t Is
far better to do this work early than to
wait until the bud has developed into
a large limb, which leaves an ugly scar
on the tree when it is removed.

the evidence was conclusive against him

concession to the lone juror who hung out
so long for acquittal. The attorney for
the prisoner made plea for clemency and
Londhout believed he would get off with
a couple of years. When he stood up for
sentence the court said: THE jury recon-

mony the responsibility of sentence rests

Dcstroying BurdOcks.

If burdock at any stage Of growth
is cut below the surface Of the ground
and q handful of salt thrown on the
cut surface, 1t completely destroys 1t.
The moisture from the cut dissolves
the salt, and this in turn helps to rot
the root, so that no sprout from 1t Is
possible. The earlier this is done the
less trouble 1t will be to cut the root
below the surface. A sharp spade Ia
best to do this. Very little salt Is
needed, as when rotting begins below
the ground it is apt to continue until
the entire root is mass Of pulp. The
burdock Is biennial and not so hard to
get rid Of as many perennials which
have horizontal roots running under
ground, which no application Of salt
can reach. The chief trouble with bur-
dock is Its innumerable seeds, one plant
seeding making enough to stock an
acre, and the seed remaining in the
ground for years waiting an opportun-
ity to grow.

1t IL very common to hear farmers

Is really the seyerest possible reelection
on their own management. Some kinds
of stock cannot be kept In certain To-
calities, because the land IL too valu-
able to make It profitable to grow the
feed for them. What should be aimed
at is stock good enough to pay for the
feed they require when bought at mar
ket rates. Then 1t will not make any
difference how dear the land Is, for the
stock will pay anyway. The stock
that Is most often kept on purchase

land Is necessary, not so much to grow
