I~ncendiary Fire.

THE many friends of Mr..
Henry Edmundson, who lives
about two miles from Eureka,
will regret to learn that he had the
misfortune to lose his house and
all the furniture contained therein,
about 2 O'Clock Sunday morning,
by fire. The origin of the fire was
supposed to be incendiary, and
upon investigation, suspicion
rested upon Tom Palmer, a broth
er-in-lay of Mr.. Edmundson, and
he was yesterday arrested and
given a preliminary hearing before
Justice I'll. C. Sherard, of Faro,
and was bound over to court in
the sum Of 5000, and in default
of bail, was brought to this city
Tuesday night by Deputy Sheriff
j. M. Evans and lodged in jai. to
await the next term of Wayne
Superior Court.
Besides losing his house, furni-
ture, ETC., Mr.. Edmundson and
his family had a very close call
and barely escaped with their
lives.

Fremont Letter.
Fremont. Feb. 8, '97.


DEAR ARGUs:-We enjoyed the
first breath of Spring yesterday,
and began to think of roses, straw
berries, and all the delights of the
charming season. But this morn
ing, bleak and drear, put an end
to such dreams.
Our community has been much
shocked by a sudden death in our
midst to-day. Mr.. VIM. Coley,
a well-to-do and respected farmer,
came into the village this morning
for guano, bringing several teams,
driving one himself. He had been
here but a short time before he
complained of pain in the arm,
went into Il drug store, where a
physician gave some simple rem
edy, but before anything could
take effect the silver chord
was broken and the soul had
escaped from its prison-house.
Truly death turks in every
passing breeze. Great sympathy
has been expre ssed on all sides
for the family SO suddenly be-
reaved.
Our esteemed townsman Mr..
W. r. Hooks has the sympathy
of many friends in the severe
illness of his wife. Her condi-
ton is said to be somewhat i'm
proved.
Just here we would like to say
that we do not like to entertain
ONE stranger-La Grippe. This
troublesome visitor seemed only
playing with US at first, but has
since gone into most dlsagreea'
BILE business.
The sound of the hammer re-
sounds on the air and severa
new buildings are seen going uE
among US. Still there are MOI
houses enough for the demand,
mark Of prosperity.

THE u

If one will only recall what the
South did not enjoy twenty years
ago and compare its condition
then with that of to-day, he must,
in all conscience, forbear from
further croaking. Twenty years
is a short space of time. To those
who have been bus.ly employed it
is but yesterday. Now, what Ire
some of the things that have come
to pass within this brief space of
twenty years? Where the proud
city of Birmingham now stands
to-day there was in 1877 only
worn-out fields. Chattanooga was
a dilapidated village. Atlanta
still sat in the ashes of the war.
Florida was almost as much of a
wilderness as in the days of Span
ish rule. Texas had made no i'm
preston upon the worlds markets
as a cotton producer. The States
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar
kansas were in poverty and despair
because of the miseries of the re-
construction period. The coal and
iron mines of Tennessee, Alabama
andVirginia erepraetically undis-
covered and unopened. There was
no serious competition by any
Southern port with New York and
Boston for the export and import
trade. With a single exception
there was not one great railroad
system in the South, and that did
not touch the southeastern part.
This extraordinary improve
ment in superb transportation IA
c%ilities has all been brought about
since 1877, and this alone is
enough to make one believe that
some Aladdin had stretched forth
a wand over the Southern land
and made il suddenly blossom with
blessings of a marvellous com>
mercial progress.
To what part of the earth shall
one go to find the record of a
change SO instant, SO astounding
and SO magical. But the pen would
run on Unfortunately if one should
attempt to indicate all the details
of the wondrous advance. We
may only hint at them. Why,
men and brethren, twenty years
ago the manufacture of cotton in
the South was wholly an infant in
dustry, and cities now known as
textile-working centres we're mere
trading posts at the crossroads.
The fruit and vegetable business
of Florida was so small as to at
tract little attention, while the
fruit and melon business of Geor-
gia dld not exist at all. Southern
farmers then bought their corn and
meats, instead of raising them as
they now do, and the cotton crop
of Georgia, Notwithstanding the
comparatively low prices, and
Notwithstanding the cities have
absorbed so much of the rural
population, is twice as large as it
was then.
How absurd, then, is the plant
that the South is in hard lines and
is laboring under adversely. The
increase of property values in the
South during the last twenty
years is to be reckoned by huns
dreds of millions, and there is
nothing in the way of a like in
crease during the next score of
years. Her export and import
trade grows in volume every day.
The Investigation of her indus
tries continues. Presently we
shall e new towns spring
out of waste places, and the cen
sus of 1910 will note the evolu-
ton of many full-fedged cities
from the hamlets of to-day.
Truly. we 90 forward.

PAID OUT $1,000 FOR WORK
That Private Parties Would Do
For Six - Clerk Swinson
Makes Startling Discoveries

Raleigh News-O Observer.
1t has cost the State up to this time fifteen
hundred dollars to do sic dollars toorth Of
acork
Read that over again twice and
tell it to your neighbor. 1t is
a fact that, under the rule of ssre~
trenchment and REFORM" this
General Assembly has paid out
81, 500 to have bills enrolled that
ought to have cost only six dollars
if let out by contract at the usual
prices.
This is stated upon the author
ity of Mr.. A. l.. Swinson, of
Wayne county, elected as Enroll
ing Clerk of the General Assem-.
bly, by the Populists and Rcpub-
lican. Moreover, Mr.. Swinson
voted for six Mckinley electors
and five Populist electors; is a
warm friend and admirer of Tom
Watson, to whom Tom tele-
grsphed his qualification that
Pritchard was elected; and more
over a Populist who warmly add
vocated the reelection of Pritch
ard. So much is stated to show
that this is no stDemOcratic lie"
but the statement of a Pritchard
Populist, who voted six-elevenths
for Mckinley against Bryan.
The majority Populist caucus
decided to stand by economy, after
a hearing of the extravaganza
practiced by the Republicans and
Pritchard Populists, as shown in
the dealing with Mr.. Swinson, the
Enrolling Clerk.
Mr.. Swinson came before the
caucus, upon his own request, and
made the following statement:
when [ was elected, I asked
the Republicans as a special
favor to me not to put any negro
under me. Shortly afterward MIR.
Dockery and several other Re-
p~ubIicans approached me aud
told me that they intended to put
some negroes on me. I told them
1 had already more clerks than |
had use for. They said to ne:
Unless you put them on, we
will see that. you are put out"
Shortly thereafter lieutenant
Governor Reynolds and Speaker
Hileman came up in my Office
and inquired how many bills had
been enrolled. / told them thirty
in all-twenty from the Senate
and ten from the House. They
then said to me that they intend
ed to take charge Of my Office.
Speaker Hileman said L;eutens

Mr.. Swinson was then asked

Answer.-"They are all
short"
Q-"How much would the
enrolling of these bills
have est at the prescribed rate
per copy sheet?"
A-"About six dollars"
Q.-"What has been the pay

A.-'Fifty dollars per day,

The discussion about the terms OF peace
in the East has brought out very dis
tinctly the fact that Turkey means to re-
tain Thessaly for the time, If possible.
The Sultan may wish merely to holi the
province as security for his indemnity
until he gets a better. or he may want
to keep it, exactly as Germany kept and
keeps Alsance-Lorraine. His German
adviser would no doubt desire linn to do
this, and If Turkey were really inde-
pendent nation, its right to keep subju-
gated territory could not be questioned
by any body. Another point in favor Of
the claim is the fact Of possession, which
in war as well as law is nine-tenths Of
the game. No one can make the sultan
give up Thessaly, which the powers made
him give to Greece in 1881, and which
he has now reconquered against the will
of the great eastern powers, except by
force, and hence England and France
may be any day brought face 20 face
with the question, Shall we let Russia,
Austria and Germany settle this matter
among themselves or shall we threaten
war as a consequence of the retention Of
Thessaly? Twenty years ago a question
not unlike this was presented to Disrseli
and he at once threatened war; this
brought on the Berlin conference, one
of the results Of which was the cession
Of Thessaly by Turkey.
