NEWgERN NEGROlzeD--WhO DID IT.?

Newbern, one of the first cities in the
State, is conf letely negroized. Its af-
fairs are fully in the hands of negroes
and their allies. White men are arrest
ed by negro policemen, tried by negro
magistrates, and the white men have no
potent voice in controlling its affairs
Who is responsible for this state of
affairs?
j. Z. II. Adams, the Republican can
didate for the Senate in Wake county,
not only, as a member of the last
House, voted for goldbug Pritchard foi
Senator. but voted for the bill to ne
groize Newbern.
DO the white voters Of Wake county
endorse negroizing Newbern? If not
they will thunder their indignation
against j. =. II. Adams for voting fol
that infamous bill.
Do the white people Of Wake county
want Raleigh negroized? If not, they
will vote for the Democratic candidate
for the Senate and the Democratic can
didates for the House.

THE ELECTION IN OTHER STATES.

The campaign in North Carolina has
en- little space to the exciting campaign
in other States. or to the probable re-
suit. Sundays New York Herald gave
much space to communications from all
the States in which there is a vigorous
campaign. and summed up the result of
its correspondence as follows:
Evan Wyck leads in the race for Gov
ernor.
The New York Legislature will be Re-
publican on joint ballot.
1.-THE next Congress will be Republl-
can. -
Quay will elect his candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
1.-The Democrats will carry the New
Jersey Legislature, and the Republicans
will elect the Governor.
THE Bryanites will carry Nebraska.
There will be no perceptible Republic

or Michigan, Ayers State
The Herald gives the result of the Con-
gressional election in North Carolina as

only one Congressman out of the nine.
If the Herald's predictions from all the
States are based on information as unre-
liable as that from North Carolina, its es-
innate of twelve majority for the Repub-
licans in the next House, cannot be relied
upon. Instead of one Democrat in the
next House from North Carolina, well
informed Democrats say that in seven
districts the Democratic nominees will
win.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY,

One week from to-day the voters of

1t means that capital and good citizens

careful record has been kept and the
results have been more than gratifying
to the management. Before new loco
motives We're purchased, before track
improvements We're made and before
the tonnage system of loading trains
vas adopted, the average train haul
per ton per mile on the Baltimore and

and some old employees think it did
not exceed 200 tons. There are no fig
ures for comparison but in July the
average was 1884 76, in August 356,41 and
in September 36l.4, very large and
satisfactory increase. The average
would have been still larger but for
the fact that on several divisions, de-

tory as the mere expensive one with
which he is acquainted.
To the farmer, hemlock, which is q
comparatively new material i'll the
West, should appeal with special force
because of its peculiar adaptability for
certain classes of construction COM
bined with cheapness. 1t is actually
better for some things than white pine,
and yet can be had at much lower
price. 1t is better for some things
than yellow pine-better, in fact, for
corn cribs than any other material.
Hemlock has the advantage of being
both strong and stiff; that is, it is
capable of bearing heavy strain and
of not yielding to it until the breaking
point is closely approached; therefore,
for framing material it is unexcelled.
For mud sills and in situations where
it is subject to alterations of moisture
and dryness, hemlock is found ex-
tremely desirable. Therefore, to a
large part of farm building construc
tion tits peculiarly well adapted.
In sections of Iowa where it has
pSSh hoIouShiy illcu hchiioSh 10
given the preference for barn contruc-
ton. 1t is little late in the season
to talk about corn crib material, and
yet the attention of farmers should be
called to the fact, supported by much
irrefutable evidence, that rats and
mice will not attack hemlock, and so
cribs built of it are rat and mouse
proof, except as the rodents may find
their way through openings into cribs.
They will not make an openings, how
ever, and this fact should commend it
for this purpose to the farmers.
Hemlock is still cheap timber in
the West, and lumber consumers
should be given the advantage of this
fact, that they may use it wherever 1t
is possible and economical to do So
