Decrease I'm German Textile Trade

Washington, October 19.-The crisis
in the German textile trade is said to
be spreading. Over-production, due to
the rapid progress of European trade
in other countries Is the disease held
accountable for this affliction of tex
tile industries. United States Consul
Agent Harris, at Fibenstock, in a re-
port to the state department says that
the high price of cotton and the impos-
sibility of getting equivalent yarn
prices is playing havoc with the trade.
A great number of mills throughout
the whole of Europe are closing down
IN account Of shortage in this article.

Colonel Waddell,s withdraw


The Florence, S. c., Times Of yes
terday says:
Colonel A. NJ. Waddell, of Whining
ton, is a great man and a good citizen.
He has shown his devotion to the cause
Of his people superior to any selfish
ambition that he might have for his
advancement to political honors. He
has withdrawn from the race for SEN
ator in North Carolina to insure q
choice on the first ballot and save trou-
BILE and possibly a break in the party
of the white man in that state. Colo
mel Waddell would make North Carroll
ma an able representative in the senate
and as a friend Of that commonwealth
we would be glad to see him there, but
we want, above all things, to see har-
mony among the democrats. In the
face of such a foe as the white men OF
North Carolina have to oppose it will
not do to quarrel within h ranks"

Scrofula the Cause.

Eczema, catarrh, hip disease, white
swelling, and even consumption have
their origin in scrofulous conditions.
With the slightest faint Of scrofula in
the blood, there is no safety. The
remedy for this disease in all its forms
is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which goes to
the root Of the trouble and expels all
impurities and disease germs from the
blood
The best family cathartic is Hoods

Menelik Is Peaceful.

New York, Feb. IA dispatch from
Zurich states that reports that Meme
Xix Is arming are untrue and that the
Negus has rejected French and Rus
sian counsel to attack the English
from the rear.
Menelik, in november last, received
an extraordinary embassy sent to him
by England with the greatest honor.
He held any number of conferences
with the English ENJOYS, at which Herr
Zig, his Swiss adviser was present.
The Negus was highly delighted with
the result of the negotiations and load
ed the embassy with costly presents
for the Queen. French and Russian
diplomats are very dissatisfied at the
turn which things have taken. English
influence in Abyssinia is steadily in
creasing.
Menelik will not visit Paris. He
takes the greatest possible interest in
the construction of the Djibouti-Har-
rar Railway.
