CHICAGO'S CHANCES.
^ For the World's Fair hit growing
Very Slim.
Charlestou World.
Washington, March 10.?The
stormy session of the house committee
oi? the world's fair yesterday has
.. . .1 ..1 ?c .is. : ... i
uiiusvu ii great. n?*ni in iiiM'iiasiuii aim
comment here to-day. It is a general
remark that the flight over the
V question of location is bv no means
settled, and there is a general feeling
now that the chances for holding the
fair are growing less every day. The
New York and St. Louis people express
themselves frankly as by no
means satisfied with the guarantee
fund which Chicago has thus far
presented.
It appears that the statement made
by the Chicago committee, which
was here to present the sites relative
v to the guarantee fund, was made
simply before the sub committee, and
as two of the three members
of the committee are from 111 i
nois, it is natural that they should
be more easily satisfied than
those who originaly favored somo
other city than Chicago. The indi
cations to-day are that the commit
tee will require more defintie information
in regard to the guarantee
fund of $10,000,000 than has vet
been given, and that the work upon
the hill will he postponed indefinitely
The fact that the expenditures of
this congress are going to be very
large and that the surplus is rapidly
vanishing, is having a depressing effect
upon fhe question of the World's
fair. A great many people are be
coining convinced that the chances
are decidedly against holding any
World's fair either in '92 or '93.
The Connecticut Senator Shows
Up the Blair Hill.
News and Courier.
Washingi(A*, March 18.?In the
Senate to-day immediately after
the morning business the consideration
of the urging deficiency bill was
resumed. The remainder of the
amendments placed on the bill by
the appropriation committee were
agreed to, and several others were
added, appropriating small sums.
The bill was then passed.
The lilair educational bill was ta
ken up at 2 o'clock as unfinished
business, and Senator Hawley adll

it. Senator Hawley summed up the
situation by saying: N
THE BLAIR BILL NOT WANTED.
The twenty-two Northern States
did not want the bill. They had no
need of it. They had no need of it.
They would be ashamed to say they
wanted the money. In fact they
would be giving more than they got
perhaps, every one of them. Seven
Southern States had two Senators
each opposed to the bill distinctly
and expecting to vote against it.
That made twenty-nine States that
did not need the bill, and it left
twelve or thirteen more to be accounted.
Of sixteen Southern States sev
ei^? had both Senators opposed to the
bill, and the other nino were about
equally divided. The majority of
Senators from the States that were
formerly slave States, and for which
the bill was intended, were to day
opposed to the bill. The great body
of the Northern people were willing
to do anything in the matter that
would be reasonable, but they would
be ashamed to be called upon to
force "spoon victuals" upon the
i^outh.
no kebd for "national"
As to the appropriation of $2,000,000
for the construction of school
houses, Senator Ilavley spoke of the
old practice of house-raisiing bees in
the rural parish of New England, and
said that the school house where he
went to school and where an intelli?
gent Scotchman taught all the children,
including young men who read
-fluently pages of Virgil, had not cost
for its erection more than $5, and
was an excellent school house. It
was "mighty easy," he said, to keep
school down South. Socrates had
not any school at all and he was the
greatest teacher of Athens. The
fplensantest way to keep school in the |
South was to keep it out of doors.
All that was wanted was shelter
centralization.
The bill was a verdict that the the,
-a orv of State and Federal Oovcrnmcn ts.
mm
COS
- ? ? as
understood for one hundred yours,
was a failure. That was what the
hill meant. It meant that the people
under the old organization had
bt&iLfPnhd incapable of performing
the (TOmary duties of civilization.
ThcrMHUBno other reading for it.
I The jjPP^Jpvernment, it said, had
failed. Biit, yet he asked, what cen
tral*!egi?lative body could do better
in managing atfairs than the fortytwo
local Congresses could do right
among their neighbors. Had Congress
a surplus of wisdom? There
was a surplus of revenue in the treasury
which Congress did not know
what to do with. So far as he had
been able to read, a continuing sur
plus revenue was a misfortune to the
State.
THE UNWISDOM OF CONG HESS.
It seemed that Congress lacked
courage or wisdom to cease raising
that surplus revenue, and while it
remained it was a perpetual temptation.
Congress did not govern so
well that it should undertake to do
everything. It did not know how to
get along with steam railroads in the I
S District of Columbia, which occu-!
pied the streets without permission
land without compensation. There
j was not school houses enough in the
city of Washington, where Congress
! had exclusive jurisdiction, so that a
large number of children had to
I "ride and tie"?half to attend school

noon. So (lmt Congress showed that I
it. could not run the common schools
of the 'District of Columbia. IIo
found, too, that Congress was not u
success in the management of the
Indians. Tie also found fault with
it in the matter of coast defence, the
navy, to the needs of which it was
just waking up, and the ovorcrowdng
of the Supreme Court. In short
he found everywhere proof that Congress
was not*absolutely wise.
The bill was had enough and went
far enough in the direction of trespassing
on State rights and on State
! duties, but, it was not the distance
I travelled but the direction in w hich
it went that was objectionable. It
jabandoned the original theory of
government and launched the Government
on an unbounded sea of
wild schemes.
Notes on Notables.

the store.
Major-General Crook is one of the
plainest men in the United States
army. His modesty is unusual in a
soldier, and he looks more like a far

General William Teoumseh Sherman

under his command in battle days,
and all are marked with crosses and

comments.
Governor Bracket!, of Massochu- {

ceived a letter written l?y John IVarson,
.J. Hothweilor, L. T. Van ( live,
...
ami b. H. Hill, the eonunittee appointed
by the Cincinnati Methodist
Church organization, numbering a
hundred ministers, in regard to ltev.1
T. M. Joyner, who has become so
not(fl*ious hv his complaint of assault
in Kandolph county and by his dismissal
hv the negro congregation
near here.
The letter is remarkable in tone
and states that Joyner and his wife
were set upon, December did, by
masked men who inllicted many
wounds upon them; that they have
been refused redress by the officers
of the law and have been shamefully
traduced and pursued by the newspapers
and are refused the opportunity
of preaching the gospel else- I
where in North Carolina and of earn
ing their support. The committee
then in the name of the nation and
of their Church enters a protest
against these outrages, whether they
he perpetrated by masked assassins
or cowardly intimidators of the
cringing negroes or false and mischief
making newspapers.
To this letter (low Eowle to-day
replied: "As you seem to he very
simple and credulous people, striving
with more zeal than judgement
to right what you assume to be a
great wrong. I answer you with the
same simplicity and frankness I do
kind hearted but excitable colored
people when their sympathies have
been strongly aroused. If Joyner
was treated as you charge, then jus-1
tiee requires that the people who assaulted
him should he rigorously
punished, and the courts in North
Carolina stand ready to give Joyner
their assistance whenever he demands
it.
"The county in which the outrage
is said to have been committed is,
Republican, the population being j
composed of a Quaker elefnent and
there is no question tluit the perpetrators
of the offence would have
been punished if Joyner had been
able to show that any one had injured
him, but unfortunately did not
do so. Even in the complaint you
will see the unreason feloness of attempting
to punish a man for crime
before he can bo identified. Your
w hole communication is based upon
the Indian's practice of taking revenge,
when one of his tribe has
been injured, upon the first one lie
he meets, whether the guilty one or
not.
"In regard to the negroes in the
church meeting at Oberlin who requested
Joyner to depart from their
midst; if you think that congregation
is composed of cringing negroes who
had been intimidated, you are evincing
a degree of credulity without
parallel even among negroes. Oberlin
is a colored town in the Kepubli-.j
can county of Wake, and is as responsible
and independent as you
will find in any colored community
on earth.
"Judging from your letter there is
not a man of you who who would re
sist oppression like this respectable
church of colored men whom you
have the audacity to denounce as
cringing negroes. The M. E. Church

never submit quietly to the courts
refusing justice to any one entitled
to its protection, but it is unreasona
hie for you to require any more pro
tection for Joynor than a citizen of
this State could get under like circumstances.
The Governor, therefore,
recommends the committee to j
read .the tenth commandment, and
apply it to their hearts, and after so
doing communicate their reflections
to their brethren who instigated
them to write this remarkable letter
to him."
A Sample of Western (enterprise, j
Manufacturer#' Record.
The lloanoke (V'a.) Herald, in republishing
the following letter front
last week's issue of the Manufacturers'
Record, adds some comments
that are worthy of consideration by
all town builders in the South:
A gentleman who lives in Portland,
Ore., while in Nashville some day*
ago, wrote the following letter to
the Nashville American:
"1 hear some talk of raising $5,.
000 by subscription for the purpose j
of advertising Nashville, I am led
to wonder what can be done in that
direction with $5,000 It would not
reach as far as Louisville. Why out

jii Portland, Ore., where I live, they
think no more of if5,000 than people}
do in the Mast of a 5-cent nickel. In
1888 the husines men donated if 12. 1
000 every month during the whole
year, the amount being expended by
the Board of Immigration. Some
firms subscribed $50 per month, many
$25, among whom were several Chi
nesemerchants and hunkers. Scores
$10 to $20 a month, and every mother'sson
in t he town some! hi n<?\
That's the wuv the West gets boomed!"
And that is obviously the common
sense way to boom any locality.
Money judiciously invested in printers'
ink has built cities and enriched
largo communities, as is demonstrated
by every-day examples. The
beneficial results of newspaper advertising,
though not carried to such
an extent as mentioned in the extract
above (pioted, are being dailyseen
in the growth and prosperity of
Hoanoke. * We do not believe a dollar
was ever invested here in that
way that did not yield a handsome j
return. Anv wideawake business!
man will admit that his success is
aitriontame in a large degree to advertising,
ami those who invest most
liberally invariably, and of necessity,
reap the richest returns.
Much as advertising has already
done, much remains to be accomplished.
The seeds already sown are
bringing their inevitable fruit, and
the returns are increasing day by
day; but the field is practically inexhaustible,
and the results of persis
tent and intelligent cultivation incalculable.
The prosperity of every
branch of trade, of every enterprise
of whatever character, and of every
citizen, high or low, is in a greater
or less degree a living witness to the
value of advertising. Conceding, as
all do, that this is true, what may
not be the possibilities of Roanoke
under a larger and more thorough
system of advertising our city and

It will nut do to conclude that,!
because we have the most prosperous j
city in the State, there is no longer i
need for exertion, and that nature,!
accident or necessityjvill continue
the work so auspiciously begun. On
the contrary, instead of relaxing our
exertions, they should be redoubled,
or quadrupled, if possible our section
niul all it.s advantages and prospects
are known in every city, town, and
;ouuty in the Union. In thin hunt

it is the most enterprising and persistent
only who reaoh the objects of

The Mount Pleasant and Little j
Itiver Project.
News and Courier,
j'lie committee which was appointed
by the landowners of Berkeley
County have submitted a draft of j
tlie deed which is to be used in transferring
land to the Mount Pleasant,
Little ltiver and San tee Railroad.
The contract read* as follows:
"The land shall be granted to the
railroad subject to the use of the
grantor until the railroad have been
graded, laid with crosdies, and with
steel rails of not less than sixty
pounds, and in all other respects
nave constructed a first-class railroad
from some point on the Charleston
harbor, at or near the village of
Mount Pleasant, to he hereinafter
designated as the initial point, for a
distance of miles from said initial
point. It is provided that the
railroad company shall have the
right to use such wood on granted
land as is suitable for crossties,
bridges, culverts or other constructions."
The deed provides that should the
company not construct a first-class
road to the southern bank of the
San tec River, in the direction of i
Georgetown, properly equipped with
engines, cars, etc., within two years
after the first day of July, 1800, tho
deed shall be absolutely void p.nd the
said railroad company shall hold the j
said premises to tho use of the grantor,
absolutely freed from all other j
uses or trusts, so that the same shall
revert to the grantor, with full right
of re entry without any deed of conveyance
from the railroad. The
company is required to pay taies until
the road shall he built miles
from the initial point. jj
The following is the endorsementf

WASHINGTON ON KTIQUKTTK.
The Quaint Hook Hi- Wroii
When Only Thirteen Years
ONI.
"Uath," in CiiiciniiHti Knqulrer.
Dr. Toner handed over to me a
hlue-covered pamphlet of thirty-four
pages with his own notes. The title
was "Washington's Rules of Civility j
ami Decent llehavior in Company j
and Conversation."
Said I: "If Washington at the age
of id was writing a hook on etiquette!
he was surely preparing the way for
his subsequent selection and elevation
to dignities. Was he not rather
precocious for this kind of work, pre j
cocious for Washington."
"There will he persons," said Dr.!
Toner, "to a gue. that Washington

that he did vrite it."
"Possibly, doctor, Washington, only
copied some boo* already extant
upon that subject as a guide to his
habits? |
Nevertheless," said Dr. Toner,
"I think that he wrote it. The whole
hook in his hand-writing, and the
date is 1745, whereas he was horn in 1
1732."
After leaving Dr. Toner I looked |
over Washington's rules, and some
of them seemed to be funny, as for
example:
"When in Company, put not your j

"Shake not tho head, Feet or Legs,

The Process of Manufacture into

The leaves are gathered from what
is known as the long-leaf pine, and
taken to the "works," whore they are
first weighed. Thence they are
thrown into larcre vats where thev
U J
are boiled in alkali for about twelve
hours at a low temperature. Then,
after being thoroughly soaked in the
same vats, they are taken by a continuous
process through the rubbing,;
wringing, carding, drying, curding
again, drawing, roving, winding,j
weaving and calendering machines,
when tne article is completed and
ready for baling and the market. By

engaged in the manufacture <?f bagging,
and this business bids fair to
demand all the possibilities of the
present plant, which has a ('opacity
of 2,000 yards per day, the weight
per yard being two pounds. The
pine straw bagging is equally as good
as jute for baling purposes, and can

trust" that first gave an impetus to
the pine straw hanging industry, at'
first as an experiment, hut with re
suits tlint have already demonstrated
its superiority over the former article
in point of economy, and that
it is equally as durable and strong.
Mr. A. Scott, who has been connected
with the enterprise from the,
beginning, and is a thorough me |
ehanie, with a great deal of inventive
genius, is the superintendent of
the works, and he has thirty-three
employes, males and females, under
his control. Those latter, by this
industry, are enabled to earn fair
wages, with sure and constant employment
at all times of the year.
There are seven machines for
weaving bagging and thirteen machines
for weaving matting. The
latter is woven in colors (as I hey dye

The fear is fiv<|uen!ly expressed
hy sonic who are prone to look on
the dark side of a picture, that there
is danger of exhausting the supply.
To this we unhesitatingly say that it
is simply an impossibility, as a few
statistics gathered from the most authentic
sources will show. The fact
has been established beyond a shadow
of doubt that for every foot of
pine timber in this State one pound
of green leaves may he gathered.

tribute to what, is destined to bo a

in the prosperity of the South. This
enormous, amount of raw material
would make 3,000,000 yards of bagging
of two pounds for each yard.
In the single county of Columbus,!
where these works are situated, according
to the official report, there
are 223,000,000 feet of pine timber.'
Cumberland and Robeson counties* j
which are the largest pine timber!
producing counties in the State, have,
by the official* reports, more than
300,000,000 feet each, and in fifteen
counties in Xorth Carolina there are i
5,229,000,000 feet of pine timber,
which with one. pound of leaves for
each foot of timber, would give 7 47,
