Horses In the North Central Division.
The census report Of domestic ami
mails, just published, credits Illinois
with 238,65o horses, of which 233,S07
are animals two years old and over.
OF the remainder 2,237 are colts Of one
year and under two years. 1t is in
credible that the supply of colts under
one year is only 2,606, but IT serves to
emphasize the predictions OF the
Farmers Review relative to a horse
famine one Of these days. Indiana has
a still smaller stock, according to this
report, the number OF horses over two
years of age being 24,072, the number
OF colts one year and under two, LAS,
and of colts under one year, 1,737. The

DEATH OF THE QUEEN

DE "A III OF' Ill W EEN
The Queens death is an
nounced. The Prince of
Wales, as Edward VII, is now
King Of Great Britain and
Ireland and Emperor of India.
In these columns during her
mOribund state comment was
fully made on the Queen as a
ruler and as a woman. Her
place in history is as secure
as her place in human hearts
was uniquely fine and strong.
The transition Of power has
been effected without jar,
and is marked by the best
hopes and wishes Of the race.
Politically no change will
occur in the balance of the
world. Edward VII succeeds
to the inheritance OF a stand
ard as we'll as of a crown,
and the opinion of mankind
as we'll as his own Chastened
spirit may be trusted to make
prolongation of the Victorian

COMMUNICATED.

Of late days one has but to enter
any of the mercantile establishments
in Southern Pines, if he wishes to
listen to tales of woe, other than his
own. Sympathy is we'll enough in
it's way, but why expend sympathetic
words when the remedy for existing
evils is plainly in sight and needs no
soothsayer to declare it.
The declaration that fewer people
come to Southern Pines each succeed
ing year, points unerringly to one OF
two deductions:-either all men are
indeed, liers, or in a few years you
will be compelled to wipe the name OF
Southern Pines off the map.
Granting for the sake of argument,
that there is imminent danger OF
erasure, why not arrest degeneracy by
infusing a little new and working
blood?
A small knitting mill, with half
dozen machines or less, run by
Watermelon would provide light EN-
p!oyment for a number of people, and
supply the demand for something to
do. The yarn consumed can be- pur-
chased within the borders of this
state, and the product could be sold
by local trade.
A shirt factory, containing six
machines or less, operated by water
motor, would employ more people.
You need not 60 further than Char
lotte or Rockingham for the crude
and the product could be
sold in this and nearby towns, thus
leaving the money to circulate at
home, instead OF sending it to New
York or Philadelphia.

There is no need for large factories,
in fact the large factories are a hind
rance to the established merchants Of
4 place, for the reason that the large
factory invariably has in conjunction
a mercantile establishment, which the
employees are compelled to patronize.
Again large factory requires large
capital. The above mentioned in

a cost of $500 to $500 each, and be

A Forged Check.

James McGee, who has been working for Frank Livermore at bls ranch north of town, last Wednesday offered check for $4l, signed with the name of Frank Livermore, at McMurtrey's saloon.
 McGee said that he owed the bar $l, and made the proposition that if the barkeeper would give him $l0 in cash he would leave him the check to cash, the barkeeper to hold the remaining S30 until he called for it. He got the slO, and disappeared.
 When the check, which was drawn on the Arizona Central Bank, was pre- sented payment was refused and the signature declared a forgery. Mir. Liv ermore came to town shortly afterward and swore to a complaint before Judge Quinlan, charging McGee with forgery.
 McGee was located at Jerome, and Sheriff Johnson went after him, return ing with his prisoner last night.

Sale of tho Asbestos Mine.

The asbestos claims in the Grand Canyon, which were bonded to Boston parties some months ago, were sold to them Monday for $6, 25O.
 The claims are near the bottom of the canyon, on this side of the river, and were located about twelve years ago by Messrs. c. H. Mcclure, w. H.. Ashurst. J. H. Marshall and John Hance, by whom they were sold. Mr. Ashurst was accidentally killed in the canyon in February last, and his inter- est was represented by Henry F. Ash urst, administrator of the estate.
 The asbestos is said to be of excellent quality, but it is difficult to get the pro- duct out of the canyon. Several years agdthese claims were bonded for s25,- 900, but the panic of 1894 prevented the sale.
 It is not known what the purchasers intend doiu{ with the property.
