.'ACIN" NEPOTISM.

Though the Governors brother holds

Pritchard's brother lives on public pap:
Chairman Dockery's brother has a fat
job at the penitentiary; and Superintend
ent Smiths whole family is provided
for-this administration is down on ne
pot.sm.
This is illustrated by a recent occur
renee in Raleigh when daughter of Nor
fleet Jeffreys, and old colored citizen of
Oberlin, was made matron of the coli
ored deaf, dumb and blind institution.
Norfieet had been guard at the peniten
tiary since the Smith regime took charge
obtaining his place through Jim Young's
influence. When his daughter was elect
ed by Jim's board, Jim told Norfiee
that it was contrary to the policy of the
administration for more than one person
Of the same family to hold office, and
that as his daughter had been given a
place, he would have to step out. Nor
fleet didn't like this much, but was
forced to walk the plank in obedience to

gurated.
At the same time Jim Young was hold
ing three offices himself, his father-in

the Consumer Money.
New York, Sept. 25.-The Commercial
Advertiser to-day says:
The plant to consolidate the larger pa
per manufactures which was talked last
year. has been revived 1t was asserted
this forenoon that the concessions having
all been made by all concerned. it was
now probable that the consolidation
would be effected.
At the local office of the Glens Falls
Paper Company, 63 Park Row, it was
said that a meeting of the most promi-
nent manufacturers would be held in
this city In about ten days, at which it
was expected final action would be taken.
The purposes of the consolidation are
to control the output and to reduce the
forenoon that the consolidation would
benefit the producer, while it would not
increase the prices consumers now pay.
SIN the first place." said a sales agent,
'there is to be a large reduction in the
number OF statesmen required under the
present system. Mills are to be requir-
ed to do business in the territory in which
they are located. At the present time.
western mills sell to consumers in the
east, and Maine mills sell to consumers
in the South. The result is that a
large amount OF money is wasted in pay
ing freight This abuse is to be stopped.
A number of other trade conditions are
to be changed and money saved"
Another object of the consolidation is
to develop the export trade which is
already growing rapidly.

HIS HEAD is ALWAYS LEVEL

DIR r. I'll. Lewis, of Raleigh exactly
hit the mark as to yellow fever refu-
gees being received in the mountains OF
our State, chat they cannot be confined
there. If thousands come perhaps half
would soon stray off and visit places
open to yellow fever if planted there.
1T is disease not to be trifed with.
1t can spread with great ease. We
were at Canton, Miss, in 1868. The
year before the yellow fever ragged there
with great mortality. We were told that
it originated from the unpaeking of a
box of clothing by o. negro woman
whose daughter had died OF yellow fever
the summer before. The mother pack
ed her clothing and taking them with
her to Canton the next summer gave
them an airing with most fatal results
to many. Canton is far from the sea
and one to see it, pretty town, would
not suppose that yellow fever would
have taken root there and spread like
fire in a prairie. 1t was unclean and
eady fer contagion. Mes
