A Hot Wolf Chase.

An exciting wolf hunt took place
Monday northwest OF town about
three milee, in which two wolves
were caught ard killed. In that
neis b borhood the farmers have been
greatly annoyed of late by the der-

focks and also the loss Of young
pigs, aud Monday they determined
to make a drive.

wolf was run for several miles and
finally cornered in the barn lot on
the old Trabue farm aud put up q
good fight, but the hounds were too
much for him and soon stretched
him out.
Another race was had at night
and another wolf was captured and
killed. A third wolf was cornered

made his escape.

THE MAR LOAN AND CONDITION
 OF THE NATIONAL TREASURY

Washington, October 26.-(special)- Charles A. Conant has prepared this state ment of the condition of the treasury and the cost of the war for the Post:
 The big popular loan of s20o. 100000 in 3 per cent bonds has been nearly all issued and it's effect upon the finances of the gov- ernment has been nearly measured. The payment of $546, ,262 for the bonds on Satur- day brought the total payments to the treasury up to s191 ,913, 7S5. This leaves only about $S000,000 to be received and only about the same quantity of bonds to be distributed. The distributions to individ- ual subscribers up to the close of last week were $17O,46 TOO. but an additional amount of $2O0O0,OOo turned over to Treas urer Roberts on behalf of the national banks as security for circulation and pub lie deposits, makes the total issues nearly up to the amount paid for. The big force which has worked so intelligently under Assistant Secretary Vanderlip to get the bonds into the hands of the public has been gradually reduced, until only few clerks remain to finish the work. If the whole of the loan were paid for today the cash balance of the treasury would be about $S1S, O,OOO The actual balance, in the absence of the final bond payments stood on Saturday at $3O4 995 1s1. About $40, GOO, 900 of this amount is due to the ef- fects of the new revenue law and $192,O0O.- GOO to the bonds.
 The treasury would have been left. with out these special provisions for carrying on the Spanish war, with only s72,OOO,OO0 in its vaults at the present time. As matters stand the treasury is so we'll supplied with funds that 1t has been able to transfer $93,199,9M to the national banks in order to prevent stringency in the money mar ket. This was the amount of the public deposits officially stated on Saturday. but about s95000.000 is in the banks or in pro- cess of transfer and the deposits may be raised to $100000000 in the course of few weeks. It is not believed at the treasury that 1t will be necessary to disturb these deposits for many months to come since there will be balance of more than $200,- 100000 over and above their amount.
 The banks have been very successful in getting possession of the new bonds, in spite of the preference given in subscrip- tions to the masses of the people The banks have had to pay a premium of about

North Carolina Race Troubles.

The politicians are at the bottom of the troubles that aff1ict the Old North State. The state was quiet and well-governed in democratic hands. Democratic domination lasted nearly twenty years, and in that time no state in the union prospered more or was more orderly and law-abiding than North Carolina.
 The Farmers Alliance was the beginning of trouble. The populist party was organ- ized as sequence of the alliance, afid un- scrupulous politicians at once put them- selves at the head of 1t. Down with the democrats" was their war cry. and they did not hesitate to dicker and finally to fuse with the republicans, and this fusion move ment has brought upon the state untold trouble. It has handed over the counties in the southeastern section of the state to the negroes; it has put negroes in office in almost every department of the state government, including the public schools, and charitable institutions, and 1t has in- spired the negroes to demand even social equality and much other nonsense.
 All this Is very serious in North Carolina, and today the people of eastern North Carolina are compelled to resort to ques- tionable methods in order to save their property and their families from the spo.ia- tions and disasters of permanent negro rule. The Mobile Register thinks Alabama should heed the lesson to be gathered from the North Carolina troubles. Possibly" 1t adds, "before another biennial period has passed we shall be in North Carolina s situation, where we would be able to 70 nothing but resort to the rifle, as the North Carolinians appear ready to do."

FASHODA
From the London Saturday Review.

From the London Saturday Review.
 The facts on which the Fashoda dispute is based are very much deeper than is gen. erally supposed. At first sight it would appear as if the French were grasplng at a shadow and disregarding the substance in pertinaciously laying claim to an appar- ently barren and unproductive spot while neglccting the fertile district of Bahr-el- Ghazal. But this is by no means the case. Fashoda is point of incalculable impor- tance to France, and it is correspondingly important that we should frustrate her de- signs in that direction.
 It is her cherished project to make a railway from east to west of Africa, in or der to divide the continent and thus pre- vent the joining of the two British spheres (north and south) by direct communication. With this object in view she has obtained from Menelek concessions to build a rail- way right across Abyssinia, the line being already in construction. It is essential to through to Fashoda.
 But it is equally essential that we should retain Fashoda, both for the prevention of the plan-which would be a severe blow to British interests-and for the establish ment of that Cape to Cairo communication which will give us supremacy in Africa. The issues at stake are vital to both countries that conflict between them is more seriously threatened than most peo- pie are disposed to think.

chances favor war with England; but If the crisis Is passed without the appearance of a man on horseback, and the civil gov ernment can maintain it's supremacy, there will be no war. Anti-Semitism, the meet ing of the court of eassation before which the case of Dreyfus will first be heard, the mobs of the excitable city-all these and much more will enter mo the case, and no one can say whether the outcome will be war or peace.
 General shafter has expressed the opin- ion that 'the French fleet would last about fifteen days" if 1t came under the guns of the British bulldogs of the sea, and it is safe to say that the rotten ships of bureau cratic Russia would not play an important part in the sea contests. France is not in condition to fight England, but what she will do under the conditions in which she is involved is as uncertain as the action of a Parisian mob.

EnQland and France,

The resignation of the Brisson ministry. complicated as it was with the Dreyfus re- vision, and the strife between the civil power and the military ring, would seem to put France out of fighting shape. But it should not be forgotten that France in the days of her great revolution found it k best to seek foreign war as a relief from Internal troubles, and what she did in those days of unrest she may do in these days of riot and excitement The army is par ticularly anxious 10 regain the confidence of the country. and 1t is plain that it can only do this in foregn war. This is all that makes war with England over the Fashoda incident possible.
 The events of the next few days in France will be of deep interest to good share of the world. If a new Boulanger arises for new Napoleon is hardly possible-the

An extraordinary book indeed is the au- tobiography of Charles H. Sturgeon, the noted Baptist preacher of London He is particularly illuminated in this book by Mrs Spurgeons contribution, in which she describes quite fully their courtship and marriage. The preacher was barely 21 years old when he began to court his wife, and oddly 1t happened at the opening of the Crystal palace of that year-he had all ready given her copy of the Pilgrims 8 Progress.
 The Westminster Gazette thus selects from Mrs. Spurgeons story:
 "As we sat there talking and amusing ourselves as best we could while waiting for the procession to pass by, MT. Spur geon handed me a book into which he had been occasionally dipping, and, pointing to some particular lines, said: What do you think of the poets suggestion in those verses? The volume was Martin Tuppers Proverhial Philosophy then recently pub lished. The pointing finger guided my eyes to the chapter on Marriage of which the opening sentences ran thus:
 Seek a good wife of thy God, for she is the
 best gift of His Providence = ss Yet ask not in bold confidence that which
 He has not promised. sIf ssI If thou art to have a wife of thy youth, she
 is now living on the earth; fs.i gP Therefore think of her and pray for her
 veal
 Do you pray for him who is to be your: husband?" said a soft, low voice in my ear, 50 soft that no one else heard z the. whisper. I do not remember that the question received any vocal answer; s, but my fast-beating heart which sent aitell-' tale flush to my cheeks, and my downcast eyes, which feared to reveal the light which at once dawned in them. may have spoken a languageSwhich love understood.
 And when thes formalities of opepfng were over MT. Sturgeon, asked M Miss- Thompson to walk around the palace with, him, and it was all settled Is 1t hot charming to learn of a union of hearts revealed through Martin Farquhar Tup- per? Mrs. Sturgeon, after more than forty years, still can write thus about those days. still can print without a qualm her husbands pious love letters and describe the honeymoon and the tradesmen's bills. There is slight shock felt in the fact that the honeymoon was spent in Paris. MT. Sturgeon in Paris is almost inconceivable.

THE AWFUL BACILLUS
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post. V
 The introduction of the bubonic plague into the Austrian capital through germs brought for experimental purposes by scientists who had carefully gathered them in Bombay is one of the most extraordinary incidents in pathology. The bacilli were brought in culture tubes from India to Vienna where experiments were made by inoculation upon rabbits, guinea pigs and other animals, the purpose being to ascer- tain the periods of incubation of the poison and to test the efficacy of the serum which is supposed to be remedy. The scientist conducting the experiments was the first victim his assistants followed, and 1t is ye, undetermined how widely the infection has been carried.
 Vienna in earlier days has been visited by the plague, the "black death," when the af1ction was ignorantly but reverently held to be an exhibition of the wrath of God. The same disease how enters led by the hand of science, but unfortunately escapes restraint. We may hope that the fear of the spread of this terrible disease will prove unfounded, and that the only result of the escape of the plague bacillus from the tubes of the experimenters will be the additional proof thus afforded of the accuracy of the discovery of the active cause of the pest.

Three Wood-Workinq Plants.

The three plants that the Commercial club is endeavoring to remove to this city cannot be offered the inducement of cheap fuel, because each and every one of them makes its own fuel and ninety-cent coal is no induc ment whatever. This fact should not be forgotten when the reasonable rs- quest of the three companies Is considered. They desire new sites and the expenses of removal, and they are clearly entitled to these.
 And tho people Of Jefferson county can well afford to pay the amounts called for. There are two reasons why the bargain would prove good one. One is, of course their payrolls. but the other Is the pur- chase of woods that are now to a great ex- tent valueless, and that are annually vast ed by fires in the clearing of land for cul- tvation. If Jefferson county alone can turn her hard woods into cash the expense of removal would be recouped by the com maaity in il single year. In this respect woodworking factories would prove more beneficial than even cotton mill or a foundry; foi raw cotton ard pig iron can always be sold at market rates, whereas the hard woods cannot be readily sold at remunerative prcec.
 Let all, then, lend hand in the endeavor to locate the three factories here without unnecessary delay. Let us make a market for every foot of hard wood growing in the county. Even sweet-gum lumber Is needed in furniture factories. Possibly blackjack oak would be excluded, but no other hard wood would be. Blackjack will serve mans purposes as fuel. but it Is otherwise of lit- tie value. The other oaks, hickory, poplar, chestnut walnut sweet-gum. sycamore and beech trees would all be needed and would be marketable if the factories in question are brought here; and if they became suc- cessful and prosperous, as they undoubtedly would. other similar factories would follow fin their train, and Birmingham would then become a busy hive of iron-workers, coal miners, wood artificers and cotton mill op- eratives. We want all of them. for nature has placed here an abundance of iron, coal, wood and cotton.
