CAR AND EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Italy Contemplating Withdrawal From
the Driebund.

Berlin, Oct. 23.-The meeting between
the Gar and Emperor William at Wies-
baden on Wednesday last, was arranged
by Prince Henry, of Prussia, at Darn
stadt, the day before it took place Prior
to that there was no thought of the Gar
going to Wiesbaden, showing that the
meeting of the two Emperors was of q
purely informal and accidental charac-
ter. The reunion of the monarchs was of
a most cordial nature. At Weisbaden,
particularly, Emperor William was in
excellent spirits and made the Gear
laugh repeatedly by telling him funny
stories. The school children of Weis-
baden, noticing the excellent humor of
Emperor William, and anxious to view
the court sights, presented themselves
IN throngs before the castle, where they
shouted in chorus, KAISER, give us leave
from school," His Majesty was highly
amused and caused the school authori-
ties to crafty the children's wishes.
This news was received by the children
with tremendous chorus.
An article in the Nuova Autolocia, an
influential Italian magazine, published
by eX-Minister Ferraris, has caused a
profound sensation in Germany. The
diuCie Is Il summary OF Forthcoming
book by Signor Cnilia, the italian Sena-
tor and historian. He advocates the for
NAL withdrawal of Italy from the Drei-
bund at the expiration Of the present
term Of that compact, and the forming
Of a new Zweibund between Italy and
Great Britain. The writer demonstrates
that Italy's most vital political inter
asts are in the Mediterranean, and that
only Great Britain can aid her there.
1t IS believed in Berlin diplomatic cir
cles that the withdrawal of Italy from
the Driebund is foregone conclusion.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct 23.-The
most remarkable car robbery case on re-
cord in the South came to an end at

ing the past three weeks eighteen roo

er, Lutte White, Bill Long and Ed Nor
ris, the latter colored, received sen
fences from three years to one year. jim
Harris, the member Of the gang who
turned States evidence, was not sen
fenced, and it is probable that under
the recommendation Of the superinten-
dent of the Southern Railway he will be
released or his sentence viii be very
light.
The Merchants convicted of receiving
stolen goods from the robbers are as
follows, all prominent In business and
social circles in Dalton and North

To-day the court sentenced all these
merchants to pay fines ranging accord
my to their ability to pay, from $1,000
down to $50, and one year on the chain
gang. the latter sentence to be suspended
on payment of the fires aud costs. On
account of the robberiCs of which these

PAY TOO MUCH INTEREST
(Warren Gazette.l

Because of the peoples inability to
pay eight per cent interest, interest has
been reduced to six per cent in this
State Nevertheless, however, many OF
our people are paying twenty times six
per cent. It is done this way. They GO
to a merchant in April for supplies to be
furnished from time to time until crop
time" say first of November, and then
they get corn at n dollar bushel that
cost not to exceed forty cents a bushel.
and meat, -four and many other things
in proportion. In other words, they pay
one hundred per cent for six months or
two hundred per cent for one year, and
yet they grumble at paying six per cent
a year when they borrow money. The.
question is, how long can a people last
who pay two hundred per cent year.
or twice as much, as the article they
buy is worth. Or, to put it differently, is
not this the greatest country in the
world where men can pay two hundred
per cent profit and still live? But the
truth is, no people can continue to stand
it, and it is only n question of time, and
the time is Fastening when those who
do this will be abject paupers

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Methodist Preacher Wins a Bride, Blu
Her Father Makes Them Gross tn
River.
(Kinston Free Press.)

There was quite romantic marriag
in Sand Hill township last Thursday.
Rev. j. A. Lee, of Kinston, was sen
for to offciate at the marriage of Rev
Francis Il. Dixon, pastor in charge OF
the Vanceboro circuit, and Miss Mamie
West, the lovely daughter of Mr.. Seth
West. When Mr.. Lee got there Mr..
Seth West forbid Mr.. Lee marrying his
daughter to Mr.. Dixon.
1t seems that Miss West was also en-
gagged to another gentleman by the name
of Kinsey, of Craven county, to be mar
ried November 9th. The parents OF
Miss Mamie favored the suit of Mr..
Kinsey and opposed that of Mr.. Dixon.
The young lady found she did not love
Mr. Kinsey and did love Mr.. Dixon and
wrote to Mr.. Kinsey to break the en-
gagement with him, but her letters were
intercepted.
Eventually the father consented to the
marriage of his daughter to the man she
loved, provided she would go across the
river. He said she should not be married
on his side of the river. Therefore a par
ty of young people accompanied the cou-
pie across the river, and the solemn mar
riage ceremony was performed by Rev.
j. A. Lee on the north bank of Neuse
river, at o'clock Thursday afternoon,
and the couple left in a buggy for the
home Of Mr.. Dixon's mother, at Maple
Cypress, Craven county.

London, Oct BIN spite of the official
denial of the Marquis of Salisbury's ap,
preaching resignation of his premiership,
belief in it's truth is very strong in pO-
litical circles, where it is considered that
his retirement is inevitable within a few
months. This view of the under current
was confirmed by a cabinet minister on
Wednesday, who privately remarked
that the Duke Of Deyonshire had de-
clared that he means to have the pre-
miership when the Marquis Of Salisbury
resigns.

He will winter, however, on a house boat

CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK.
Henry Georges Canvass Continues to
Be a Spectacular One.

New York, Oct. 23.-Henry Georges
canvass continues to be the spectacular
feature of the most remarkable political
New York has ever witnessed.
His army Of speakers hold hundreds of
meetings in all parts of New York ev-
cry night, but Mr. George himself is the
most effective advocate of his cause,
preaching the crusade against poverty
with the zeal of Peter the Hermit; de-
claring himself an instrument in the
hands Of God to better the condition of
his feli0Wmen, and firing his hearers
with an ardor that makes then in turn
apostles Of his radical doctrines.
In every borough of Greater New
York, in halls, in the streets, on The
wharves, Henry George speaks to mul-
titudes that cheer his every word For
been making savage attacks on Richard
Croker, the leader of Tammany Hall.
Among the labor unionists and in the
swarming tenement districts. where pe0-
pie are crowded more thickly than any
where else on earth, Mr.. Georges audi
.ences are almost frantic in their demon
STATIONS. The business end of his cam
paigu is conducted by ex-COngressman
ION IL. JoAHson duu eA-1 oStiHdstef
Charles w. Dayton, shrewd veteran
campaisners. OF speakers there is no
lack; all the survivors of the 1886 cam
paign are on the stump again except
Father McGlynn, and he has declared
himself in sympathy with the movement.
Not one Of the speakers demands pay
for his services, and the George man
ayers say they are not hampered by
their empty treasury, for their cam
paign is run on enthusiasm not money.
