He never rides on a railroad with? out psyho^?iar&^_ Ex-Representative Rogers, of Arkan? sas, whose friends endeavored to have ; Mr. Cleveland select him for the Attor? ney Generalship, has refused the tender of the Assistant Attorney Generalship for the Interior Department. Refusing an office In this day and time is a little re? markable. _ The Baltimore Su;i observes with jus? tice that Mr. Cleveland possesses the same Indomitable courage that character? ised Andrew Jackson. Undoubtedly bo does, and, like Jackson, he will show his indomitable eonrage by leading the Dem? ocratic party where it has made np its mind to go. _ _ Col. D. P. Duncan, general manager of | , the State Alliance Exchange, has accepted the, position of national secretary and treasurer of the National Fanner's Alli? ance. As Col. Duncan will still live in Colombia and keep the new office there, that city will hereafter be the headquar tera of the National Alliance. : President Cleveland has appointed Gen. Hampton Commissioner of Rail? roads and on Monday the Senate confirm? ed the appointment. The* Greenville .News truly remarks tiu.t President Cleveland honored himself when he hon? ored the great Carolinian. The appoint? ment is heard with joy all over the conn _?i_ " A witness of the recent Presidential inauguration ceremonies was Benjamin Patton, of.Defiante, O., who waa in Washington in 1829 to see Andrew Jack? son take the oath of effice, and hasn't missed an inauguration since. He is said to be the only survivor of the office? holders under the Jackson administra? tion. ^_ p From the information received from Washington it seems to be a settled fact that Editor Eempbill, of the* News and .Courier, and Editor Gonzales, of the Staley are going to be appointed Consuls .by President Cleveland at important ports. These gentlemen are thoroughly qualified for such positions and would discharge their duties faithfully. '?? Politics has its compensaaons. Last , summer the Hon. Isaac Buuey Gray of j Indiana was feeling somewhat out np at not being nominated for Vi?. President, bufc he can afford to look on that $8,000 \ job in the hands of Mr. Stevenson with some satisfaction when he contemplates the 817,500 salary which he will draw as aiyoy extraordinary and minister pleni teniiary to Mexico. The number of murders that marked . the annals of 1802 has alarmed the social economists of the country. They see ofearly that. there must be some prompt and efficient measures of reform inaugu? rated by our legislators and law adminis? trators to put aa end to the epidemic, murders daring 1892 in the United were 6792, as against 5906 in 1891, 4290 in 1890,8567 in 1889. Tho Detroit (Mich.) Free Press pays oar gallant old chieftain the following jmplimont: '*Wade Hampton is getting ag in years and is a cripple, but when ,i> was in Washington the other day he arranged for a hunt In the South Caro? lina jungles and invited a number of | statesmen to join him. Gen. Hampton is one of the old-school politicians who ould rather be right than be anything Dm justice of the peace up to President.' The shipments of fertilizers from Char (ton for the months of January and tbruary just past are the largest on reiford, as seen by the following:. For 18)>li from September 1 to March 1,199, i\ tonsi for 1892, from September 1 to ?ircal, 143,025 tons; for 1893, from Sep ember 1 to March 1,223^18 tons. This " u>ws a gain cf 23,544 tons for 1893 over when the shipments'for the year ittiounted to 287,000 tons even. - ? *- "* Postmaster General Bissel! is credited h the announcement that no local bus ness men need apply for post offices under his administration. He objects to tn missioning local business men as ittmasters, for reason that the actual ities are performed by irresponsible, I often incompetent clerks and subeti ites. A postmaster under Mr. Biasell inst promise to devote his entire time to i work, and personally keep strict office >nrs. ^ ' It costs a pretty penny to be inaugurate " President, if one does it in good style. ?. Cleveland had to provide so large a lite of apartments, and secure so much for his traveling party at the rlington Hotel during his brief stay before taking the oath of office, that : c at into his bank account at the rate of | 0 a day. This expense, kept np for a >r, would reach the handsome total of I or more than three times the Jary of the presidential office. T !ie Senate Committees have been sp? rinted. Senator Butler has been assign to the chairmanship of the Interstate mimerce Committee and the Committee the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians, , a member ef the Committees on Ad itional Accommodations for Library of j igresa and to investigate Trespasses (Indian Lands. Senator Irby is chair of the Committee on Transportation ites to the Seaboard Mid member of | ?Committees on Civil Service, Coast ?fencos, Epidemic Diseases, Mines, atoffices and Post Roads. he following clipping taken from an change contains some excellent advice: 'here is no royal road to wealth. Every o, unless especially endowed with en ta far exceeding those of their fellow ings, must work their way round by und up the ladder of worldly success. the day's duties beyour first thought, t them through with a thoroughness nd earnestness that is certain toacoom wonders, and you will find when j active, earnest laborer in the field at md has given place to idle repinings for other and loftier spheres that yon are on' the right road at last, the road that leads straight to success and happiness In the terprise yon have nndertaken." on. Patrick Walsh, of the Augusta onicle, has received an interesting fetter from Mr. Alfred B. Sbepperson, the noted statlcian of the New York Cot? ton Exchange, in which he says of the forty-five million cotton spindles of Great Britain twenty million are standing still, Mid sixty thousand mill operatives aro to-day as a result of the strike in icashire. This great struggle be n the operatives and mill owners tneaced November 3rd, and having already continued nineteen weeks is the longest strike ever experienced in the sotton manufacturing industry of Great tain. Confident hopes were enter tained that tbe differences would be set? tled and work resumed last week, but tbe negotiations were unsuccessful, and present Indications are tbat the strike will certainly continue several weeks longer. The strike has caused a reduc? tion in the consumption of cotton by the British mills of fully five hundred thou? sand bales of 400 pounds net. Mr. Shep person discusses the cotton question in our own country, and urges the farmers not to increase the cotton acreage this Spring, bnt to raise all tbe food possible and make cotton a surplus crop. He says if a big crop' of cotton is made tnis year it will have to be sold below tbe cost of production. There is a disposition to "poke fun" at the host of Democratic office-seekers now in Washington, because of the fact that the first man appointed to a minor posi? tion by tbe Cleveland administration was a negro. The negro in question was appointed doorkeeper to the office of tbe Piesident's private secretary. He held the same position during the first Cleve? land administration, and his reappoiot meht is very cheering to the "back-num? bers," as the applicants who held office under Mr. Cleveland before have been jokingly named. They retort by calling tho new applicants "tenderfeet." The crowd has up to this time been in a jolly good humor, but what it will be later re? mains to be seen. Upon the basis of consumption of cot? ton, says the Columbia State, South Caro? lina now stands fourth on the list of cot? ton manufacturing States, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island being the three States ahead of us, and in tho order named. If this Stato maintains heir ratio of increase in this industrial branch , ' which has marked her progress for the past five years, she will within a hah! decade, surpass Rhode Island and New "Hampshire. South Carolina stands first among the Southern States as to cotton manufacturing, with Georgia second and North Carolina a close third. The utili? zation of Columbia's developed water power will advance the State's manufac? turing rank still higher. The . mills of South Carolina, in proportion to the capital employed, consume more cotton than those of any other State in the Union. The Agricultural College. The farmers educational institution, Clemson Agricultural College', after co long a wait and so many disappointments, now seems likely will be opened in a completed condition on July l, the day fixed for the opening. The college is to have water works and sewerage systems, and every student Is. going to be required to wear a military uniform. Last evening Secretary of State Tindal returned from Clemson, where he has bees, for tbe last few days attending the meetings of the board of trustees. Mr. Tindal says the board found the work going on rapidly?in fact, much better than he-expected. The interior of the building and the president's house, he says, are very near completion. Tbe work on two or three of the other profes-, sors' houses, be says, has been begun, and Is likewise progressing rapidly. Mr. Tindal saw -no reason why all 'the work to be dono sb. il not be completed by July 1. He thinks the chances are mncb bet? ter for the entire completion of tbe build- j ings within the required time than they j were when the board met last. The board decided after a long dlsons sion to establish a system of water works for the college, and adopted all the plans I therefor. The water will be secured from ! a cluster of dear springs some distance from the college. A steam pumping plant will be put in-and a large reservoir built The water will be pumped to this reservoir which will have enough eleva tion. by means of spouts to furnish all the buildings with a lull supply of water, and at the same time act as a proventa?ve against fire. The board also bad a long discussion about the establishment of a system ol sewerage for the college buildings, which culminated in a decision to establish a complete plant and tbe adoption of plans there for. Both this and the water works will be put in by expert plombers and machinists yet to be employed, under tbe direct supervision of Professor Newman of the college. The board did not go into any elections to fill tbe vacancies existing. Mr. Tindal say b it was not prepared to elect any officers yet.- Especially was this so of tbe presidency. He says that the board is not enoouTP^ing the filing of applica? tions for tbis office for the simple reason that it prefers to look about and select its own man. The board, however, renewed its ap? plication to the United States Govern? ment for tbe detail of Mr. Zane, one of I the officers of the United States Navy, to assume control of the mechanical and military departments. The Republicans refused tbe application, but now the board hopes the Democrats will grant the application. Mr. Zane is very anxious to come on such detail. For the position of resident physician there iure about twenty applicants. Tbe board decided alBo to begin at once the erection of the servants' houses and decided npon the location of ten of them. They will be wooden buildings contain? ing only two rooms, but will be neat and well built. The board adopted a uniform which every student of the college will be re? quired to wear. Tbe dress uniform will consist of Confederate grey cloth. The trousers will be finished with a wide black stripe. The dress coat will be of the swa.low-tail fashion, like the Citadel dress coat. Tbe fatigue suits will be made in the fashion of tbe United States regulation fatigue suits. The caps will be of Confederate grey with the letters "C. A. C." on the front. Tho buttons of the uniforms will also be marked "C. A. C." The contract for furnishing these uni? forms was awarded to an Anderson firm, represented by a Mr. Means at the meet? ing. There were a good many bidders for the contract. The Anderson firm filed the lowest bid. Tbey will furnish the two uniforms, dress and fatigue, to the student-*, for$23.75. Each boy will be required to pay tbis with his entrance fee. Mr. Tindal says the board has received responses from over 309 young men say? ing they will be certain to attend tho college. Applications for admissioa, be, says, still continue to come in every day, and tho indications are that the college will open with a full quota of students. The board expects to accommodate every one who applies.?Columbia State. Political Outlook for Eighteen Months Hence. The prospects of a number of candidates being In the field for Governor from the "Reform" side of the house, as has already been shown in the State, is be? ginning to create a considerable stir among the rank and file. They realize that there is a very wide division in the ranks and if all the numerous men who have aspirations go into the race, there will be little hope of any of them getting in. The idea that Irby took Gen. Earle, as a candidate for a district attorneyship, to use bim as a candidate for Governor, seems to be growing. A great many think that if Gen. Earle is -not appointed to tbe district attorneysbip, he ia the cer? tain candidate of Irby's side in tbe next contest. Yesterday a prominent Alliance-Till manlte was seen. He said that be had not the slightest idea that the leaders would permit all the numerous candi? dates on bis side to go before the people in tbe primary. "My idea is," said he, "tbat there will be a preliminary conven? tion next spring to aominate from these numerous candidates I see named for Governor. I think it is absolutely neces? sary to consolidate on one man. There may be a big light, but consolidation will be absolutely necessary. I further think that Secretory of State Tindal has at the present time by far tbe best chance for tbe nomination." I cannot say why he is tbe strongest man, except that the same old South Carolina idea of promotion in office still has a great bold on tbe people. I do not think there is the slightest chance of either Shell or Talbert getting the nomination. There is no question tbat there is a disposition among a certain number of the 'Reformers' to conciliate the Conservative faction?and Irby is among them. He wants to cater to the Conservative sentiment. I see that in bis taking up Earle. There may be an object in Irby's action, but let me tell you, Irby lacks a Sight of bossing tbe voters of South Carolina. The Third party is not going to take any band in ibis Stato fight because It does not want to. It will be satisfied to try and capture Congressional places. I think tho Con? servatives, like tbe Tillmanitea, will bold a preliminary convention to go into the primary as a unit."?Columbia State. OUil Whiskey Men In for War. Columbia, S. C, >' ireh 19.?Tilings are beginning to take at lively aspect in regard to South Carolina's new dispen? sary law now, and it will not be many days ere this will be the most absorbing topic of discussion throughout the State, overshadowingtbe Federal patronage and all other questions now agitating the public mind. Of late the liquor men have been keep? ing very qniet and this gave me to the impression, after Judge Simonton'a docision in the premature test case, tbat they had given up all hope of successfully combating the enforcement of the law after July 1. But such is not tbe case. The liquor men were never more hope? ful of winning their case and keeping their doors open tbau right now. It is a fight to the death, and the liquor men, it can be positively stated, have not tbe least idea of backing down. I was talking to-day to one of tbe lead? ing liquor men in the State, a man who would lose as much as any other in tbe State perhaps if the law is enforced. He says the tight is really just beginning, but they have not been talking about what they have been doing for prudential reasons. He says that all those dealers who failed to get the receipts for license for a year from date will not bo in the fight at all; that there is no chance for them. It seems tbat this yearly license matter and the questions as to the date the law became operative are going to be two of tbe leading features of the test case when the case comes up. The leading Columbia dealers certainly got their annual licenses before the law could have possibly become operative. This dealer gave me an insight into many of the other leading questions that will be involved in the test case, but I am not at liberty to make them public yet. He stated, however, tbat be and many other dealers had not tbe slightest fear that tbe State would be able to make them olose their places of business on July 1. He does not regard the decision of Judge Simonton in the recent "snap" case as having any effect on the real ques? tion at issue. He says tbat there was not a single issuo, brought up in that case, which bears on the real issues involved. He said, further, that when the Chester case came up m tbe Supreme Conrt next month, tbe people would begin to see tbat the grounds on which the liquor dealers are making their fight are quite another thins from what is generally supposed. Whether the Liquor Dealers' Associa? tion will have its attorneys take part in the Chester case or not remains to be seen. They will certainly be here. The State, there is no doubt, will use every endeavor to have this case made the final test, but bow far it will go does not yet appear. The Attorney General is cer? tainly going to take a hand in the fight. Governor Tillman has said that the law will be enforced, and the fight is going to be a muoh longer one than anybody ex? pects. But while all the preparations for the great fight are reaching a termination, the Governor, as chief barkeeper, is pre? paring to open up tbe great saloon of State, and he's not wasting any time about it. He has' not yet appointed the ' State dispenser, but says he will do so in ample time for the opening of tbe dispen? sary-. Slnoe the Governor's illness he has been arranging to secure the bottles, flasks and jugs which will be used in all the dis? pensaries, and I visited tbe Executive Mansion to-day and found a splendid array of such necessaries and could not but admire the Governor's taste. He is making as good selections as tbe most accomplished saloonist could do. He has received sample goods from many bottle manufacturing companies. The chief competitors for the contract for furnishing bottles and flasks were a Pittsburg, Pa., and an Augusta, Ga.. company. The former company offered a beautiful flask with a metallic screw top. The Augusta company offers the old standard style flask with cork stop Eers. The agent of this company was ere yesterday in consultation with the company, and It is announced that the contract for tbe manufacture of the flasks has been awarded to tbe Augusta com? pany. The best sample of iugs the Governor has come from the Harm's pottery, at Trenton, in tbis State, near the Gover? nor's home.' This jug is a new style one, the shape being more like tbe standard oil can. The material is good, aud it seems to be a very strong jug. It will doubtless be adopted as the dispensary jug, and Mr. Hahn will very likely get the contract. It 1b said that tbe Augusta company will proceed with tbe manufacture of the flasks at once. It has not been decided how the flasks and jugs will be marked, but it has been suggested to tbe Governor tbat the coat of arms of tbe State, with the words "South Carolina Dispensary" under? neath, be blown in the bottles and stamp? ed on the sides of the jugs. Another sug? gestion is tbat a palmetto tree replace the coat of arms. While the State is trying to nnbottle Port Royal haibor, it is thus seen tobe trying to bottle its liquor, but so tht world goes.?Correspondence News and Courier. Col. Earle lu Washington. Washington, Marob 14.?Ex-Attor? ney General Earle arrived here to-day and, with Senator Irby, called at the White House to arrange an interview with tbe President. Senator Irby left Gen. Earle in the ante-room while he ( went in to see Private Secretary Tbur ber. As the cabinet was about to meet , Senator Irby did not attempt to seo the President to-day, but Mr. Thurber said be would be pleased to see Mr Earle to? morrow. While waiting for Senator Irby, Mr. Earle talked quite freely with me about the political situation in South Carolina. He says ho is making the light for the dis? trict attorney ship on broad Democratic grounds. No one can question his De? mocracy. He made the fight for the Gov? ernorship in the State campaign as the standard bearer of the Conservatives, when it was almost a foregone conclusion I tbat Governor Tillman would be re-elec? ted. Mr. Earle says be would like to see the factional contest now going on in the State come to an end and harmony res? tored. At present he is unable to see any indications of such an outcome, although nearly all of the best men in tbis State when spoken to on tbe subject express similar opinions. Mr. Earle proposes to make a dignified effort to obtain tho attorneyship, but he does not intend to enter into a personal controversy with any of tbe other aspirants.?Special to News and Courier. Petticoats no Protection. Atlanta, Ga., March 20.?A woman moonshiner, Mrs. Malinda Turner, was arrested Saturday morning and brought before United States Commissioner Gas ton to-day in default of a ?300 bond. Mrs. Turner acknowledged her guilt, and throughout tbe trial was verydefiant, re? fusing to make any attempt at giving bail, and ignoring tbe fact that she could be sworn in her own behalf. She is the mother of John and Will Turner, notori? ous moonshiners in White County. Mrs. Turner has been making illicit whiskey for over eight yoars, aud it is said she makes the best quality. The two boys, John and Will, are both out on bail now charged with illicit distill? ing. Mrs. Turner appears to be about 50 years old and talks in a whisper. "Don't keer if I go ter jail er not," said she to a reporter. "Look like ter me folks won't lot yer 'lone long 'nough ter get off them doublins. I reckln I bin making whiskey nigh on tor a month right in tbe same place. Officer come 'long Satur? day mornin' last and walks into tbe still jes 'bout dawn break.

Mrs. Turner was taken to jail this morning, -,?? f mm Waking up In a Coffin. Milan, Tbnn., March 19.?There is much excitement in the community of Marshal Chapel over the death of Robert Bell. He apparently died after a short illness of typhoid fever. His body was prepared for burial and preparations made for tbe funeral. In tbe midst of the services a noise was heard iu the coffin.. Quickly bursting tho lid Bell sat up aud was removed to his home, and in a low hours was feeling much better, He claimed to havo beon in Heaven and saw many friends. His wondorfol story drew many people to Iiis house. Last night he became sick and sudden? ly called out: "They are coming for me," and Jell back dead. His physi? cian claims that he was in a trance and, awakening in the coffin, his mind was wrecked. Cr reload Will go Slowly. Washington, D. C, March 17.?By invitation of President Cleveland, Sena? tor Butler called on him at 2:30 to-day and discussed with him the situation in South Carolina. Tho interview lasted nn hour, and tlie Senator seemed entirely satisfied with its results. lam not at liberty to state ti j ramifi? cations of the discussion, but can say that the Senator posted the President fully as to the character of the pending issues in South Carolina and satisfied him that they were more than peisonal ones?involv? ing, indeed, the preservation of tho Democracy or tho surrender of tho State to third part}' influence. Senator Butler made plain to him the need of careful consideration of the entire case before taking action, and suggested that no ap? pointments to State offices be made for the present. This agreed entirely with the President's views, and he promised not to act hastily. In my opinion, none of the leading South Carolina appoint? ments will bo made for a month or two, and probably thoy v.-i 11 not be made until the terms of the incumbents expire. Tho President, as I telegraphed yester? day, seemed impressed with the number of endorsements Col. Earle had received, and indicated a disposition to give that one office to his enemies in the State, but his suspension of action will give time for a further examination of public sen? timent and if the Conservatives will unite on one good man and give hitn all the endorsement they can give, be is likely to win in the end. With the oppo? sition Col. Earle will encounter, I think it very unlikely that he would bo con? firmed, if nominated. Our people in South Carolina have too many good friends in the Senate to fear for their interests there, and it isregardod as certain that Senator Irby's objections cannot defeat any good man's confirma? tion. Governor Tillman has sent a black list to President Cleveland, giving the names of four men who, he declares, are unfit for appointments to any office. Ben Perry's name, like Ben Adheni's, leads all the rest. I don't know whether Cal Caugbman, whose character be last year declared was without a stain, is also blacklisted, but it scorns probable. Folks at home may as well make up their minds that there will be no domes? tic appointments of consequence during March; possibly, also, there maybe no foreign appointments from the State for a while. The President's desire is to move .slowly and surely. X am able to say that President Cleve? land, like practically all the representa? tives of conservatism here, favors the appointment of young and active men to office in South Carolina, and I don't think that there will beanv change in his views upon this point. When such men are honored by their party, the biggest guns of Till man ism will be spiked. There is not the least doubt that the President is heariily in sympathy with the men who have stood for pnre Demo? cracy in South O-olin a, and that ho will d all he can to strengthen their hands for efftJtive work in the common cause. ?Special to Columbia State. A Human Holocaust. Richmond, Va., March 16.?A special to the Times from Charlotte, N. C, says: D. P. Dixon, of this city, has just receiv? ed word of the fatal burning of the wife and two children of his son, Thomas Dixon, of Rutherfordton, N. C. The fire occurred last night about 8 o'clock. Mrs Dixon was alone, her hus? band being at Shelby. After she bad got? ten ready with her little ones to retire and while sitting by the table with her youngest child in her arms the child ac? cidentally turned over a lamp, which ex? ploded and spread its fiery spray over tbe mother and two children. Mrs. Dix? on might have saved herself but for her efforts for her two children. She lived until 1 o'clock, a few minutes after her husband reached her, but was never con? scious after she was first reached by her rescuers. Dixon is a travelling salesman forCottrell, Watkins & Co., ol'Richmond, and is well known all over North and South Carolina. The house and contents were burned. Another account of the fatal fire at Rutherfordton is to the effect that Mrs. Dixon had left tho room in which her children ? were, and in her absence the three-year-old child upset tho lamp. The child's screams brought the mother back. A colored man named Alex. Mo Entire, wbo saw tbe flames and came to the rescue, bore Mrs. Dixon from the burning building, at tbe same time push? ing before him a third child whose life was thus saved. Mrs. Dixon died from her injuries this morning. Some years ago Dixon lost a former wife and two chil? dren in one day by disease. hue Gives Black Milk. Chillicothe, Ohio, March 9.?Robert Hausborough of this city is tho owner of the "eighth wonder of tbe world," a cow that gives coal-black milk. The cow is a mixture of Jersey and Durham, and was raised on the Hansborough farm, as was also her mother and many sisters, none of whom exhibited any peculiarity jn the color of their milk. Mollie, as this phe? nomenal creature is called, has raised five or six calves, all of which have lived and grown fat on that black milk. The milk produces a fair amount of cream. This eream is a trifle lighter In color than tbe milk itself, and, when ohurned, makes a kind of butter that re? sembles a thick mixture of coal tar. Par? adoxical as it may seem this butter is aa palatable as though ol* a golden yellow, and it is said to bo relished by the whole Hansborough family. At first, when the peculiar color of Mollie's milk was discovered by the per? son to whom was allotted tho task of "breaking the cow in," the family was afraid to use it in any way. When they saw that the calf was waxing fat on tbe liquid tar the younger members of the family overcame their prejudices and within a few days tbe milk was being used just the same as if it had been of the regular color. Chemists of New York, Washington and Richmond have analyzed both the milk and the butter, but declare that they can detect nothing that in any way ac? counts for its color. Wedded in Death. Pass Christian, Miss., March 16.?A m^st Htartling discovery was made here to-day of the bodies of Miss Julia Nunno machor, daughter of Herman Nunne macher, a prominent merchant of Mil? waukee, ?md William E. Miller, also of Milwaukee, both of whom had been shot through tbe head. Miss, Nunnemacher has been spending the winter here with her parents, and last week Miller, to whom she was en? gaged, arrived here. Her parents oppos? ed the match, and on Friday, after lun? cheon, she left tho house, and as night came on, and she did not appear, and Miller had also disappeared, it was sup? posed that they had gone off to be mar? ried. On Sunday the parents left, hoping to find their daughter in New Orleans. This afternoon a young boy found the bodies in a pine thicket on the north side of the railroad, about 200 yards from the depot. From the position in which thoy were lying the supposition is that the young man must have first shot his com? panion through the left temple and then shot himself behind the right ear, and death in both instances must have result? ed instantly. The affair was evidently premeditated, as Mr. Miller, had borrowed a pistol from one of the citizeus on that morning. The deadly weapon was found by his side, where it had fallen after ho had fired the fatal shot, - m 9 ? To (irow Egyptian Cotton Here. Washington, D. C, March 15.?Tho Egyptian cotton seed purchased by Sec? retary Rusk through the United States consul general at Cairo, Egypt, has been received at tho department of agriculture. The purpose of this importation of seed is, as set forth in Rusk's last report as sesretary of agriculture, to undertake with tbe co-operation of export stations in tho cotton States, experiments with a view to producing cotton of a home growth which may serve as an efficient substitute for Egyptian cotton, of which during the last fiscal year, more than three million dollars worth was imported into this country, an increase of 15 nor cent, over last year and of considerably more than a 100 per cent, over the year ending in 1S!)0. The cotton seed received at the department eonsi>ts of two of the best Egyptian varieties, "Aflft" and "Bamias." The distribution will be made to experlmont stationsin the cotton States, and also through Senators for those States to planters whom they may recommend as persons well qualified and willing to give Egyptian Beod a careful trial. A report on tbe conditions of soil and ollmato and methods of cultivation of Egyption cotton is being prepared for the department under direutjou of our consul general in Egypt. ? The news from North Carolina gen? erally is that tho fanners are buying an unusual amount ol commercial fertilizer and preparing for an unusually largo cotr ton crop. Notwithstanding tho lesson of last season, many of them still think that tho law of supply and demand has noth? ing to do with tho price of cotton and aio rushing blindly upon thoir fate, i Cities Lighted by Balloons.. A balloon with electric lights attached | to it for lighling cities is the lutest idea of turning the "light of lights" to apracti- | cal us?>. This idea may seem very vis- [ ionary, but C. A. .Smith, ono of San Francisco's inventors, baa sufficient confidence) in the scheme to commence operations of constructing a balloon for that purpose. This balloon will not be of the ordinary silk bug pattern, but will be made of aluminum in tbe shape of a cigar, pointed at both ends. It will be about forty ieet long and fifteen feet in diameter at its largest point, and will contain sufficient gas to Bustain it in the roughest weather. Fans will be con? structed so as to hold it point up to the wind and keep it from dipping, and in calm weather it will be so balanced tbat it will remain perfectly level. A cable containing the electric wires will hold it at a sufficient elevation, so that the light will be spread over the area to be illuminated to tbe best advantage. The balloon will Bustain six arc lights, or it can be so made as to be covered with incandescent lights, each one of which will be inclosed with a reflector so as to concentrate the rays of light and throw them downward. An appliance will be provided for hauling the balloon to the earth for trimming the light or making any repairs that might becomo necessary, or raising or lowering it so that the light may be advantageously distributed. The inventor claims that, counting the first cost of the balloons and their main? tenance, the total cost of lighting a city the size of San Francisco will be reduced considerably, as one balloon will suffice for from four to six blocks. At the same time the tangle of deadly and unsightly wires from the streets will be removed and dangers from fires reduced. Mr. Smith, in addition to tbe lights has in? vented an arrangementofmirrors, which will be placed on tho under side of toe balloon, so tbat a person on one street can see what is transpiring on the next, even though blocks of buildings inter? vene, and this mirror arrangement, the inventor says, will be of great service to fire departments, as the location of ilair.?3 can be easily ascertained should they break out from a building. "Perhaps the best use to which this system ot lighting would be turned would be to harbors," said Mr. Smith to a Call reporter. "Three or four of these bal? loons placed over. San Francisco Bay would make tho harbor light as day. The members of tho San Francisco Electric Association have discussed my scheme pretty thoroughly and they c laim that it is not only possible, but one that would be very useful as a system of city light? ing. I have enough faith in it to secure space at the World's Fair to place it on exhibition, and my attention from now on until the Fair opens will be directed toward constructing a balloon and having it in perfect working order."?San Fran? cisco Call. Hemmed In by Fire. Salina, Kas,, March 20.?Only recent? ly meager reports can be secured from the prairie fires which have raged in wes? tern Kansas for the past two days. To? day news was received from Russell county that seven persons were caught between two fires yesterday and perish? ed. Their names are: William Bailey, Albert Moore, Mrs. LaFevre, Dave Hutchison, A. McDonald and two un? knowns. Bailey was badly burned and died in awful agony. Tbe men were all farmers and were out feeding their stock. The prairie fire had been discovered ap? proaching in the distance and tbe unfor? tunates had made for an open space, where they hoped they might be able te fight off the torrent of fire. Quickly get? ting to work tbey cleared the ground for several yards around them and best they could dug a trench around the space. Their efforts, however, were futile, for as the enemy approached the wind arose, and, changing just, as it reached their frail cordon, whirled around in one awful torrent and Japped the poor victims' lives out before they had hardly realized their danger. The bodies were found this morning, all but Bailey having died apparently soon after having been struck by the gale of fire. Reports of damage with loss of life are rife, but confirmation of them to? night is impossible. A Horror of a Prize Sing. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 15.?Ed? gar Broom, white, aged 17 years, was fa? tally injured in a prize fight with Albert Taylor, colored, at the Ottawa Athletic Club earlv this morning. In the first two rounds Taylor made a chopping block of Broom. In tbe third round Taylor got in a right hand swing and Broom dropped like an ox, the blood streaming from his mouth, nose and ears. The spectators and Taylor fled, leaving tbs injured boy witn his friends. A phy? sician was hastily summoned and pro? nounced it concussion of the brain. Broom was removed to his home and is still unconscious. To-night the sur? geons think his skull is fractured and say he will not recover. Paralysis has' already seized his legs. Taylor skipped on a morning freight train, but was arrested at Hastings and brought back here and placed in jail to await t.'ie result of Broom's inju? ries. The Babbit Foot. Ralejoh, N. C, March 13.?When Vice President Stevenson was canvassing this State last September he was presen? ted with the traditional "left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit," a good deal about which was said in the newspapers at the time. The animal, it was alleged, had been captured in the old city cemetery of this city. A firm in this State which makes a specialty of rabbit skins and handles thousands of them every vear has just re? ceived an order for "100,000 rabbits' feet, hind foet preferred." It is evident that some enterprising Northern firm is get? ting ready to take advantage of the Ste? venson incident, and in some way spring the North Carolina rabbit foot on the country as an emblem of good luck ? There is talk of making Governor Northen, of Georgia, the successor of Mr. Colquitt in the united States Senate. Governor Northen is one of the most pop? ular men in Georgia. ? The value which men place on their lives and the relative woitn of an Amer? ican over men of other countries is well shown bv tho following statistics: Of the 812,000,000,000 of life insurance writ ton in tbe world $5,500,000,000 is placed in the United States. Between the years 1880 and 1890 there was ?2,500,000,000 new life insurance written in this country and but8l,000,000,000 in the whole British Em? pire. ? Mrs. Philander Pool, a lady of Padu cah, Ky., sent two pairs of home-made yarn suspenders to Washington city. One pair was consigned to Grover Cleveland and the other to John G. Carlisle. Mrs. Fool is a staunch democrat, and made and sent the suspenders to perhaps the two greatest exponents of the democratic principles as a slight token of her admi? ration and regard. The suspenders are handsomely and substantially made and will no doubt be greatly prized by tho re? cipients. ? London, according to report, is a pretty bad place. More than one-third of all the crimes of the country is said to bo committed within its limits. 25,000 of its inhabitants are annually arrested as drunk and disorderly, and it has on the average 75,000 people annually taken into custody by the police. Its common lodging houses shelter about 27,000 per? sons. ? The World's Fair grounds and build? ings are to have a combined water ca? pacity of 100,000,(100 gallons a day. They are already equipped with?5 miles of wa? ter mains and 291 hydrants, They haye also three steam fire engines, four chem? ical engines, a ladder truck, water tower, 40 horse carts, 26,750 foet of hose, 1,050 hand fire extinguishers, 2,500 fire nails, a steam fire boat, 65 firemen, 150 alarm boxes, 150 patrol telephones, 500 guards and complete electric light and sewerage systems. ? Mary Belle Freeley says that the emblem for the World's Fair Woman's building ebould bo an apple, and she adds : "But for Eve the men would be to this day, I suppose idle, naked, sunburn? ed loafers, like Adam, no better than the beasts, the serpents, and the insects. But she courageously took the apple, rescued tho world from sloth, indifference and stupidity and lifted the human race to a level a 'little lower than the angels,'" Good for Mary Belle! Put the apple right there, and let it bo a Belleflower. ? Mr. Clovoland has only one name? sake old euough to hold office, and that young man is Grover Cleveland Bridgers, of Halifax County, North Carolina, 24 yearB of age. Some twenty-four years ago the young man's uncle, Col Martin, went to Buffalo to receive treatment at a hos? pital, and met Grover Cleveland, an obscure young lawyer. Col. Martin thought Cleveland was the "smartest" man he had overseen, and went back aud had his sister's child naraod for him. saj ing at the time that "Grover Clovoland will bo President of tho United States some day." Grover Cleveland Bridgers, it is understood, will ask for a fourth class post office in this County, urging his claims that ho was the first child to l *)o named for Grover Cleveland, NEWS. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Piedmont Items. We have had a low days of "farming" weather and the people of this community have made good use of it. With another week or two of good weather we will almost forget we had such a severe winter. Strange how a little pleasure mttkes us forget the illn of life's journey?a little sunshine will blot out a week's rain, and I reckon it's well that it does. We regret to have to announce the death of one of our oldest neighbors?one whom we all loved, Mr. F, A Spearman, more familiarly known as "Uncle Ahbury" Spearman, died on last Saturday at* 3 o'clock p. m. of dropsy and heart-failure. He hnd been in feeblo health for several months, but was not. confined to bin home but a few days. He was about Reventy six years old,"and had been a member of the Meth'idist Church for a number of yenrc, and bad always been at bis post of duty as a neighbor, a friend and Chribtian. He was always cheerful, and had a pleasaut word for all whom be met, and never seemed to he the least crossed or dissatisfied. If he ever Yelt the crosses of this life's jnaruey be had a great faculty for keeping .t lo himself, so tbat uo one else ever knew it if he ever was tbe least vexed. Happy man be always appeared to be, and nappy must he be now. He bad a wonderful memory, and could re- j cite whole chapters of the Bible by heart, j In his death this community loses* one of i its best neighbors, the Cburcb one of its most zealous and faithful members, the County one of ita noblest citizens, and his children, of whom there is but three suns, lose a noble father, whom they should try to imitate. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to tbe bereaved family. I see in last weok'a Intelligencer you invite discussion on public roads and bow to make them. I will try to give you my idea about roads and road law in your next week's issne. Although one of our best and truest statesmen in the County lost his popularity by doing what he nn? a great many of us thought the best thing in the way of a road law at the time, he could ; but as to myself 1 will say what I please about how I think tho publie roads should be worked for I am not running for any office, so I can't lose any votes on it, and if I do I will slick to what I say any way. If I say the horse is sixteen feet high I will stick to it. Se look out, I am going to give you a text for one of the best road laws in the world. Squire Fewel. Audersouvllle Items.

About thirteen years ago?a time when the "memory of man runneth not to the contrary"?there stood among ibe red old bills of Georgia, in one of the rockiest cotton fields that Southern genius ever dared to cultivate, a. lad of thirteen summers. His form was rather slonder, but the size of his brogans show? ed a good ttHc/er-standing. Eis brawny arms, sunburnt hands and countenance showed that while quite young be bad learned to guide the plow and to handle the hoe. His hair was black and his eyes a dark blue, sometimes appearing black. Usually sharp and penetrating, to-day is reflected from under the prominent brow an anxious longing for something. As the hot ten o'clock sun of an early June day poured its rays upon his head, the nimble steel hoe, which had been snatch? ing grass from about the roots of the cot? ton plant from early sunrise, began to slacken its rate. A spell of sleepy languor comes over the lad. His hoe stops. The handle Is put under the left arm for a prop. The left foot takes its pla ie jmt above the knee of the right leg. In this position C S M-, for that is his name, solilo? quizes : I ranst, I will be noticed. My name shall be written on the book of fitne. Here I may make wealth, but fame never. Ambition was Ciesar's ruin, but 'twas the greatness of Washington. Here I register ruy watchword. By honest and high en? deavor I bha 11 make myself known. But what held is left open for me. Politics are too tricky. In this field the honest men generally stand on the plains below and watch the unscrupulous on the towering heights Lo! have I beon asleep? Was it a dream ? or was it a fact ? Au! a vis? ion, a vision! My eyes looked into the future. I have disclosed the volumes of his? tory made by the mercantile world. What did I behold but my own name, with hon? orable mention, in no mistakable terms. At the top of a page I read : His success was due to the values he gave, aided by correct treatment of hia customers. I looked to the North and to the East, and saw a stranger in a land ot strangers; his name unknown; bis purse small; bis heart overflowing, and nerve to dare and to do what the millionaire would not dream of. I saw him take a handful of circulars and hand them out to crowds of astonish? ed people. 1 s:.vv him point to a sign new to him and to the world, 'thereon were these words: "THE TEN CENT STORE," C. S. MINOR & CO. The soliloquy was over, the vif ion pist. That youth had a new life, lbere was something to work for?an objective view. The writer knows tbe inspiration, for I am that lad. I determined to put my dream into effect. Just four years ago to day? March J5,1889-the Ten Cent Store flung its doors open and its banner out to the world. Spot Cash our motto.
