PROFIT IN WASTE.
How European Cities Make a Gain of

handsome profit.
Ut. j. e Bayliss. who has recently inves-

nlteen boroughs of the city of London with
population nearly as large as that of
New York. consume all their refuse and
generate power by this means Dozens of
towns find this source of power ample to

also pump their sewage by the same means
Figures for London, which would certain1y

electric power available for lighting At
present approximately 10000 kilowatt hours
are necessary for lighting purposes in New

We are glad to note that the plans
to publish the Avery Memorial Vol
ume' are progressing so satisfactorily.
This book will contain the choice arti-
cles written for The Charlotte Observer
by the late Isaac E. Avery, whose
variety of Idle Comment" afforded
pleasure and amusement while running
in that paper to so many of it's read
ers-and Of readers of other state pa
pers also, for they were republished N
mnay of The Observers exchanges. The
book is to be gotten UP in attractive
style and will max a handsome souve-
mir and memento of this gifted North
Carolina writer. We hope the pro-
moters will meet with ever greater sue
cess than they expect. There should be
ready sale for his book, and no doubt
will be. In addition to the intrinsic
fishers should recommend it to the peo-
pie of our state. Besides preserving
in book form the writings Of this gift
ed North CaroIinian it is the purpose
of those in charge Of the work to de-
vote the proceeds to the establishment
of a memorial scholarship at Trinity
College, from which institution Mr..
Avery graduated in 1898. The board of
editors is to meet in Greensboro neXt
Saturday to make selections of such
of Mr.. Avery's writings as will be re-
produced in the memorial volume. We
wish success to them in this movement.
They deserve the Ora and financial
support of the people of the state.

NcCUE MUST HANG.

When the governor OF Virginia re-
spited until February 10th DR.. McCue,
who had been sentenced to hang On jan
uary goth there was criticism of his ac-
ton in some quarters. The following
reasons given by the governor for
granting the respite show that The GEN.
sure was not deserved and hat he was
acting in aid of the judicial branch of
the state government instead of at
tempting to usurp it's functions.
His words have the true ring. 1t is a
pity some other governors do not take
the same view of the exercise of clemen-
cy in the cases Of men who nave been
given a fair trial and declared guilty
Of the offense charged by those who are
matters and declare the guilt or inno-
cence of the party On trial.
Governor Montague gave these rea-
sons for his conduct, and n one read
ing them will be pretty we'll convinced
that he will not again take action on
the case:
1.-THE guilt or innocence of those
charged with crime is to be determined
by the judiciary tribunals. The execu-
tive should aid and not arrest the judg-
ments of courts or the executions of
law, save for supreme reasons. For
the executive to review the opinions of
courts or the verdicts of juries, no mat
ter how he disagrees with them, would
be plain usurpation of authority. But
he supreme of appeals has this
day been petitioned for a ~rehearing of
the application for a writ Of error, and
the executive has since been requested
by this eminent tribunal to grant a
respite of the death sentence that suffi-
cient time may be had for sucn further
consideration of the case as justice and
law may require. In granting this re-
quest the executive is aiding and not
obstructing the administration Of the
law, n he, therefore, will direct a
respite until Friday, the 10th day of
February, 1867

Tonic to the System.

For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, the famous little
Pills. They do not weaken the stomach.
Their action upon the system is mild,
pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore, of
Lafayette, Ind, says: "No use talking,
DeWitts Little Early Risers do their
work. All other Pills 1 have used grippe
and make m sick in the stomach and
never cured me. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers proved to be the long sought re-
lief. They are simply perfect" Persons

~
Fayetteville, N. c., January 2S.-The
called meeting Of the chamber of COM
merce was largely attended in the court
room at s o'clock last night. The pres
ident of the chamber, Captain J. D.
Mcneil, explained the object of the
meeting to he Good Roads and How

ton to the fact that n bill was now pen-
ding before the legislature, drafted by
County Attorney A. Z. Hall, under the
auspices of the county commissioners,
providing for a direct tax to construct
and keep up the county roads, without
submitting it to a vote of the people.
The principal speakers Of the evening
were: Messrs. E. E. McKethan, who
opposed a bond issue, and wanted to see
the finances of the county Strengthened
out before making further expenditures;
H. L. Cook, who, while realizing the ne
cessity Of good roads, doubted that the
people were ready to incur any more
debt, opposing a bond issue n also
the bill before the legislature; Mr.. W.
N. Tillinghast, who defended the coun-
ty commissioners, and explained their
action in having the direct tax bill
framed: Mr. H. r. Horne, who thought
that the county was well able TO incur
such indebtedness as was necessary 10

pessimism and ~foreboding displayed by
many present; Mr.. A. II. Slocomb, who
favored a bond ssh a. the only

TALE OF SUFFERING AT SEA.
Terrible Experience Told by the Crew
Of the Schooner Schrnidt, Who Were

New York, January 2S.-A story
of terrible suffering in the wintry gale
which swept the Atlantic coast asst
"Wednesday and Thursday was toid by
the seven men of the crew of the Phil

were brought here today on the Dutch
West Indain mail steamer Prins Mauri-

more than thirty hours the men had
iclung to the rigging with neither food
nor water, suffering intensely from the
cold. All of them were terribly ex-
ihausted, and scarcely able to re.a,n
their hold on the rigging when the
Prins Maurits came to their rescue.
The sea vas running very high, and
the men were rescued by the Prins
Maurits life boat only with the great
est difficulty.
Captain Norbury of the Schmidt says
he sailed from Georgetown, S. G. Cor
Boston on January 16, with a full car
Igo of hard pine lumber. Last Wednes-
day the schooner ran into the gale off
Winter Quarter shoals. The northwest
wind blew with terrific force, raising
la tremendous high cross sea, which
boarded the vessel fore and aft and
flooded her decks continually for thirty
ihours. The weather became extremely
cold and there were frequent snow
The Schmidt labored and
strained until she sprung a leak, filed
and became a complete wreck at the

sells after house was wash and her
masts standing with double reafed

themselves to the rigging with
the greatest difficulty being exposed 10
the seas which constantly broke or

thirty hours and were almost exhausted
and about to fall off into the sea when
the Prins Maurits came to their rescue.
