WILL THERE BE WAR

This is the inquiry on every tongue.
The report of the Investigating commit
tee. indicating that the disaster to the
Maine came from q powerful submarine
mine. will convince the country that it
was the work of men in authority in
Spain. Powerful submarine mines are
not owned by individuals. While the
Spanish government is not connected
with the outrage and did not instigate it.
it is clear that Spain not only cannot
govern Cuba but cannot protect the
ships of Il friendly nation in its own
harlor.
Concurrently with the report OF the
American investigating commission
comes the news that the Spanish com
mission informs its government that the
disaster was caused by an internal cX-
plosion, the result Of some accident
aboard the Maine.
This conflict. together with all that
| has gone before. makes ii clear that the
conditions all point to war. 1t may be
ayertcd but the outlook is that the diff
ferenccs will be settled by an appeal to
| arms.

MORMON!SM IN NORTH CAROLINA.

IT is us this paper said last Sunday.
is exaggerated. In almost every COM
munity there are a small number of ig-
norant people always ready to run after
anything new. This handful are now
with the Mormons. Next yenr they
would just as readily take up with the
Mohammetians, the next With the Bud
histS. or any other crowd preaching
something new. They join all the Pro
tcstant churches by turns, and Stag no
where.
The Presbyterian reported Il Mormon
church near Cameron of forty members
and sad:
If. in this Scotch Presbyterian sec
ton where parents will deny themselves
the last of comforts for the education
of their children. tlc Mormons can find
their dupes-wlsat success must they
meet with among our quarter of L mil
lion white people who are unable to read
ana in those sections where illiteracy
is the rule and not the exception
The Sanford Express has been inves-
tigating this statement and finds that
the Mormon church near Cameron has
only about eighteen or nineteen mem
bcrS. only two of which left the Pres
Egterian church; the people who belong
to THIS church are the most ignorant class
in the community and their parents
didn't deny themselves the least of com
forts for their education"
The Monroe Journal was not far
wrong when it said that the class that
becomes converted to Mormonism is
quite useless for propaganda purposes
and is not worth losing sleep over"

COTTON Al S1.2O PER POUND.

We can remember when cotton sold at
$50 per pound right here in Winning
ton. This was in 1860. directly after the
close of the war. 1t had been hidden III
various places. some Of them very secret
and out Of the. way. The late James
Dawson had 65 bales bricked up III Il
vault III a building on South Water
street, the building III the rear Of Messrs.
James G. Stevenson and Taylor's whole
sale grocery house and now owned by
Mr.. Stevenson. We saw this cotton
brought to light and helped to weigh
il. We were told that Mr.. Dawson got
S1.oo per pound for it. but III this we
may have been misinformed as from \:
table before us we find the highest price
quoted iii New York was Sl.2O and there
fore we adopt these figures. But in ono
year. 1854. did it 30 beyond S1.2O. In
that year 1t got up as high as S1.9O per
pound, against % cents in 1863.
The table we allude to is sent ont liz
Price, Mccormick & Co. of New York.
There was Il big drop. however. towards
iilc latter part Of 1860, when it ranged
down rs low rs - cents. From that finn
the descent was gradual, hut sure. a.
