From the Statistic Fiend,

The fad for collecting ridiculous
statistics seems to be growing. The
statistic tiend has discovered how
much time a man wastes in his life
crawling under the dressing table in
search of lost collar stud; and he
can tell us exactly how many years
We waste for the purpose of eating;
then, again, how many tons of bread,
meat Or potatoes We may have eaten
in these wasted years.
Now a reader, who lives in Glas-
gov, has written to inform me that,
after several weeks of laborious cal
!culation, he has discovered that one
ton and some odd pounds is worn of
the boots of the London public every
day. This material, if restored to
its proper condition, would be sufi-
cient to form leather strap an inch
wide and ten miles long, and with
one year accumulation, would reach
from London to New York.-From
Answers.

Sharpe After the Assavership.

For some days we have heard ru-
msrs to the effect that Senator A. c..
Sharpe had an eye on the Charlotte
mint job, but could learn nothing
definite concerning the report. With
in the last few days, we learn that
petitions recommending him for the
position of assayer of the mint have
been circulated in this country. The
fight promises to be an interesting
one, with Z. Grant Buchanan, Of
Salisbury, DR.. E. Q. Houston, of
Davidson, Camera, of Charlotte, and
Senator Sharpe IN the race. While it
has been given out that Democrats
have no part or parcel in the affairt
of State or nation, our sympathies
at least are with Senator Sharpe.
No one can deny US that privilege
nor take from US the hope that he
will win.-Statesville Landmark.

First Overt Act of the Revolution.

A few days ago Col Murchison,
Mr.. F. S, Ellis and Mr.. James
Sprunt made some excavations in
the ruins of Governor Tryon's pal
ace, at Russellborough, on Orton.
near old Brunswick, on the Cape
Fear, which had been identified by
Mr.. Sprunt from records in the
Brunswick county court house. The
search for relics of Colonial days
was only partially rewarded by the
recovery of some broken pieces of
Dutch tiling from the fireplace and
some ancient sack bottles of curious
make.
In order to mark the spot for the
benefit of Capt. Harper's passengers,
a British flag was hoiSted over the
ruins, tue first cross Of St. George
seen there doubtless since the days
of the Revolution. 1t is proposed
to remove the flag and substitute a
sign board, which may be seen from
the river.
Upon this spot was committed the
first overt act of the Revolution, and
it may be called insignificant al
though it appears) the cradle of
American liberty. A glance at Col.
WaJdell's admirable book, GA Colo.

DEATH OF DIR. M'cORKLE.
One of IredeIPs rIost Prominent Citi-
! zens.-MooresViIIe Notes.

Correspondence of the EBHs.
MooREsvILLR, Feb. 10.-Dr. John
r. McCorkle died at his home in
this place yesterday evening. after an
illness of only few days. He was
taken with a severe case of pneumo-
MIA about two weeks ago, which was
too much for his shattered constitu-
tion, and old age, and death came as
relief to his sufferings. In his
death Mooresville has lost one of her
best and most highly respected citi-
zens, and physician of wide repu-
tation. While he had few enemies,
as everyone has, it was but to know
him to respect him. He had in his
time held several places of public
trust with honor to himself and his
people. He represented 1redell
county in the General Assembly
several years ago, and was the otigi-
nator Of the bill which gave Iredell
its present stock law. He leaves a
large family to mourn his death.
Two of his sons are almost in help
less condition. He is the father of
Prof. J. E. McCorkle, the we'll known
phrenologist, whose reputation ex-
tends throughout the South. The
funeral and burial took place this
evening.
Rev. Henry Davis who was on trial
for the murdtr of his son-in-law,
Moore in Iredell Superior court this
week, was acquitted Tuesday morn
ing. While the verdict is what every
one expected, it does not clear
him, in the mind of the
public. His two sons, Robt. and
Sam are to be tried at the next term
of court for assaulting Moore. Sam
has just served out a term on the
chain gang.
DR. J. r. McLelland, one of Ire
dell's Representatives in the House,
spent day or two at home this
| week.
Mr.. Herbert McCorkle, a guard on
the State farm near Wadesboro, is at
home being called here by the illness
and death of his father.
DR.. James Young will move tc
town next week to practice his pro
fession. While Mooresville is well
supplied with physicians the doctor
thinks there is always room at the
top. We wish him success.
The fight for the Mooresville post
office is still being waged, and new
candidates are daily entering the
fight. Since my last Squire Bot
Templeton, the Republican leader in
South Iredell, has announced himself
a candidate.
1t was generally believed thai
Squire Bob would get a place in the
revenue service, but he has decided
to take the post Office, if he can gel
it. r. i. Templeton is also candi
date This is none Of our fight anG
we are going to keep hands off.

THROUGH THE CYLINDRICAL BALE.
A Combine VIII Endeavor to Control
the Price of Cotton.

The Progressive Farmer of last
week published an account OF
trust that was endeayoring through
the cylin drical bale to control the
price of cotton. The Associated
press has sent ont the following
from Galveston, Texas:
cit is learned from a very au-
thentie source that there is IN con-
temptation here the formation IN the
near future of a stock company with
an authorized capital of $4,000, 900,
having for its object the lntrodut-
ton and operation of cylindrical
bale cotton compresses throughout
the cotton States. AS this system
of COMPRISING involves complete
change in the present manner OF
handling cotton, it is aimed to make
it an International affIi in order to
find ready outlet for the cotton
thus put up. The company contem-
plates establishing ginning and COM
pressing plants at all points In the
| cotton growing districts where it
may expect to handle 10000 bales
during a season. Each of its plants
is to have a capacity of not less than
100 bales per day, and is to be of
the most improved order. The COM
pauy will control the patents cover
ing the compressors as well as other
machinery used in the make up of
It's stem of ginning, cleaning and
COMPRISING cotton and will erect
machine shops and foundries at the
most advantageous points for the
manufacture of all its machinery.
This system of baling cotton, will,
it is claimed, result i'll great saving
to the producers as we'll as to ship
pers of cotton
1t is the same old song and dance
"result in great saving to the pro-
ducers as we'll as shippers of'cotton. .
"In our article last week we did
the cotton buyers an unintentional
injustice. The propc sed combine
leaves most of the buyers out in the
cold, therefore it is not natural tc
even suppose that they are favorable
to the scheme. Prompt and decisive
steps must be taken to defeat this
gigantic serf making trust" says
the Farmer.

THE GIFT TO GEN. MILES.
Corporation Raising Fund for Pub
lie Official.

There is much to be said in favor
of Senator ALIENS opposition to the
practice of conferring valuable gifts
upon the commanding general of the
United States Army.
Now and then some grateful bene-
ficiary of a particularly efficient piece
of work By policeman or fireman
sends a reward to the man who did
it. The practice of honorable recip
tents of such gifts is to turn them
over to the benevolent associations
connected with the two departments.
When it was discovered that a for
mer police inspector had accepted a
large sum of money from certain
millionaire, the mere fact of his ac-
ceptan ce, irrespective of the service
for which it was rendered, brought
him into enduring disrepute Shall
the standard of honor for tie com
manding general of the United States
Army be lower than that of police
officer?
1t is proposed now to give General
Nelson A. Miles $4,000 house in
Washington. Enjoying a salary
vastly greater than that OF a Cabinet
officer or a United States Senator, it
can hardly be urged that the General
is in grievous need of such charity.
AS an officer of the United States,
responsible equally to every citizen,
it is manifestly improper that he
should accept it. What would be
thought of the Attorney General OF
the Secretary of the Interior who
should permit collection to be
taken up among corporations and
million aires to provide him a resi-.
den e.
An immediate and definite reaso 4
to look with grave disapproval upon
the project is the fact that the pres
ident of the organization which is
soliciting subscriptions is Coils P
Huntington, who has inserted his
Shiny tentacles into enough depart
ments of the United States Govern
ment already.-New York Journal

THE spirit of gambling that lends
to recklessness is the most prolific
breeder of desperation and suicide
A dispatch from Monte Carlo, the
great gambling hell of the Riviera,
says that during the present season
alone sixty.fve persons have com.
mitted suicide in that spot where the
click of roulette means fortune oil
disaster to the gambling hundreds
who flock to the tables.
The laws against gam bling in thi:
country are none too stringent.
1t is passion that sets the brain
on fire, and brings only disaster in
its train.

GOVERNOR BUSHNELL, Of Ohio, is
playing a pretty game in the Senate
rial contest. He wants to succeed
Mr.. Sherman in the Senate. 1t
would be poor policy for him to
appoint himself to the position, so
he announces that he will call a
special session of the Legislature for
the express purpose of electing a
Senator.
He thinks he has a pretty safe
majority of the Legislators, and
expects to be elected Senator on the
first ballot.
Mr.. Mark Hanna, who is out fol
everything in sight, is also chasing
this seat in the Senate. He has
plenty of cash, and all the power o.
the Mckinley administration.
Governor Bushnell has this aG-
vantage: if he is not elected to thu
Senate, he will still be Governor.
If Mr.. Hanna loses the fight h
will direct the Mckinley administra
tion as private citizen.

THE News has thus far neglected
to notice the bill providing for
cigarette dispensaries introduced in
the Legislature by Representative Y.
C. Morton, of Richmond county
Here is the resolution:
Resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate concurring.
That it is expedient that some
method be devised for the protection
of the youth of our land against the
blighting influence of the deadly
cigarette and its trust.
Therefore the judiciary commit
tee of this House be instructed to
prepare aud present bill establish
ing a general dispensarY system for
the State somewhat on the lines of
the Waynesville Dispensary Act,
though more intelligibly construct
ed, regulating the cigarette traffic
and consumption imposing fines and
penalties such penalties to the State,
such fines to Trinity College and
absolutely prohibiting the sale Of
cigarettes to any male or female
under two years old and the expos
ure of obscene pictures in cigarette
packages.

SMALLEST PARTY ON EARTH" "
A Straight Popullst's View of the
"Repoplicans."

"Mr. Pritchard calls his Populis' 8
(better named Repoplicans) "middle-
of-the-road Populists." He has
selected Mr.. Skinner for their leader.
This is new organization in North
Carolina and has no connection
whatever with the Peoples party.
Its membership 30 far as known
numbers between 20 and 30 voters.
This is the smallest political party
on the face of the earth. 1t is fed
and nourished by the Republican
party, being the adopted child of
that party. 1t is not known how
long it will be before it will assume
the name of its fond parent. For
the present it is known as the "pie-
oneer Populist party" Their creed
''middle of the road" is misnomer
and is calculated to mislead. II
implies that they are in the middle
of but one road and that leads only
to the Republican pie counter. TIE
Republicans have bequeathed to this
adopted child one-half the spoils OF
the State and are nourishing it in
many ways with the fond hope that
it will grow and increase and multi
ply the family, but as yet it is &
puny little thing and there seems tc
be no prospect that it can live longer
than the present legislature is il

10000 Letters to the Tariff COM
niffee

The correspondence that the WAYS
and Means Committee has received
since the beginning of the tariff
hearings is something unprecedented.
Notice of these hearings was given
about December 20. Since that time
the correspondence which has passed
through Secretary Lords hands, in
Guiding the mail to the chairman,
the mail that has been addressed to
the committee, and to the commit
tees Secretary, has been somewhere
in the vicinity of 10000 letters. 1t
has been no small task to answer
these, but Secretary Lord has written
the replies of many himself, and
when the number was so great he
could not keep up he dictated the
replies to a stenographer, so that the
correspondence has been kept up to
date and not an inquiry has remained
unanswered.-Post.

A BILL has been introduced in
the Legislature to put the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College in the
hands of new Board of nineteen
directors, who are to be appointed
by the Governor. Bills have also
been drawn to put the insane asy-
lums and schools for the deaf and
dumb under control of new direc-
tors.
These institutions are to be taken
out of the hands of those competent
officers who have wisely administer
ed affairs for years, and put at the
mercy of politicians, made to fur
nish places for the heeler and the
office-hunter, laid on the public
pie counter as feast for the hun
CRY horde of Republicans.
