V. ABFS WEEKLY BUDGET. Another Letter From the Tar Heel State. NATURE HAS BANGED HER HAIR AND FRINGED HER PANTALETTES.-THE PRO? HIBITION QUESTION-NORTH CAROLINA VINEYARDS-A VISIT TO A CIGARETTE PACTORY-HIS IMPRESSIONS. Atlanta Constitution. Everything is lovely now. All na : fcnro is dressed io living green and adorned with the flowers. She has Banged her hair with blossoms and fringed her pantalettes and clustered her swelling bosom. It is a fall and gorgeous costume, not too short above nor too long below, hat modeet and bri . dal and lovely. No d?collette nor line of demarcation, such as Miss Cleveland and other women are writiog about and ; faying to explain. I never read about this d?collette business, these low neck party dresses, bat the word decoy seems ' to fit right well, for they are made to decoy somebody and set a snare. It is a poor, pitiful business when ladies i haye to take a measure for the line of modesty and discuss in the newspapers where modesty ends and immodesty be? gins. Bat theo.these fashionable folks \ have got nothing else to do, I reckon. North Carolina is excited now and there is fire all along the line. Prohi? bition xs the question, and you can hear of it wherever you go. A hundred . times have I been asked how it works j - ia Georgia. I met Governor Colquitt Ott the train. He was just from Wash * iagton and was going to Raleigh to speak on prohibition, and from there to - Durham. Raleigh was excited, and so , was Barham and Goidsboro, for the friends of. temperance have become bold and aggressive. Everywhere I think they will be defeated in all these places, but they will rally and fight again until they do succeed. Public opinion is -"gradually drifting that way, and Sooner or later whiskey must go. It may be that wine will come in as a substitute over here, and it will be a happy com? promise if it does. Domestic wine is - the bett thing to fight whiskey with in 'North Carolina, for this whole country is planting vineyards. Acres upon aerea may be seen froaj the cars all along the railroad, especially the Raleigh and Gaston railroad. You are hardly ever out of sight of a vineyard. Most of these grapes are grown to sell and ship, but there are thousands of gallons of wine being made, pure wine, and it is found to be more profitable : ? than anything else. I visited Captain Garrett's vineyard near Enfield, and ~. was amased at its extent. Jost think of ninety acres in Scoppernong grapes, all arbored over, and as you stand on an elevation and look down it seems one luxuriant carpet of living green. Cap? tain Garrett makes 50,000 gallons of wine every season, and sells it in New York for a net price of one dollar a gallon. Besides this he has twenty aeres in other grapes that are made into sherry and champagne. The process does not seem to be complicated of diffi? cult, and anybody can succeed if they are reasonably intelligent and watchful. This was a model farm I visited for while grapes and wine were the main thing there was a splendid farm in a high state of cultivation and a number of silo pits that Captain G. says is the salvation of his farm. There was a fine herd of Jersey cattle and a diary, and above all there was an elegant refine? ment in the household and a welcome hospitality that makes one feel like be was living again in the days of the old planters and patriarchs whose beautiful homes adorned the hills and the groves of the Sooth some thirty years ago. The diversified agriculture and horti? culture of eastern North Carolina is bringing their people to the front very rapidly. It is not all colton now, nor is it ali turpentine, as it used to be. Why, even the small fruits are realiz? ing a handsome return for their cultiva? tion, and you will see at every station on the Coast line large stacks of straw? berry crates awaiting the express train for the northern markets. . Tobacco is now a leading product, and every town has its warehouses and j se< auction houses that bay and sell and th< store the weed. The town of Durham Ri has now 5,000 inhabitants, and the pe majority are in the tobacco business. I ev visited the immense establishments of it Duke & Son and Carr & Co., and was ws bewildered at the extent of their busi- wi ness. There is now in Durham ten sw million pounds of leaf tobacco awaiting manufacture, and it comes in every day Br by the train load from all the surround- j thi ing country. The tob?ceo manufac- j thi facturers of Durham pay to the railroads j Sp over one million dollars a year for in- j Co coming freights. They have over 2,000 j Ali operatives, more than half of whom are j iin< girls. I saw 5ve hundred |IEIS in one j wa factory. They were all setting* at lit- ! siti tie desks making cigarettes, and they j pee were singing one of Sankey's songs j exj when we entered. Cotton factory girls | dec look pale and measley, for they have ? mo to stand up all day, aGd the poor things f gio do get tired, awful tired, and they look rJ careworn and weary. They can't sing big for the sound of the machinery ; but j 186 these girls looked rosy and neat, and ! con were as merry as larks. The doctors the say that the tobacco business is the go healthiest business in the world, and riv? that these giris are never sick. They and ?ll work by the piece, and many of and theta make two dollar every day. can &fost cf them make one dollar and fifty J brit tl ii n d ti d a J c ti y ti g o a A fl ? 8< > u tl fe b e< ti w bi al h. ti Ol oi tr T nt se fo w m w wi ti< th th in te wi Ri iy ri< an ca foi W? ov cefirfs, and even the little tiny chaps make from seventy-five cents to a dollar The girls can beat the boys at this busi? ness, for their fingers are more delicate and nimble. They make 750,000 ci? garettes in one day in the Pake factory Jost think of it! Nearly a million And all to be burned up into smoke and ashes. I casually inquired where all these cigarettes and ali this smoking tobacco went to, and the general mana ger banded me a lot of bills of lading that had been shipped that morning They were to Hamburg, Honolulu, Singapore, Madras, Antwerp, Rotter? dam, Montreal, Ackland and goura bay. They have a large trade in China and Asia and India and Arabia. Dur? ham and Duke tobacco are now known all over, the world, and their proprietors have to enlarge their products every year io order to supply the demand. Tobacco is very low now because of the over production of last year and the Durham manufactory have bought very largely at very low figures. I was shown a pile of 15,000 pounds that cost only cents a pound, but it was very common indeed. Neverless, it is worked up and flavored with a little New England rum and sells very well. Then I visited a small factory of Messrs. Pogue & Cameron, where they make a specialty of a very fine smoking tobacco, theTqueen of the south, that they say is the finest in the world. They have to pay a higb'price for the leaf that ts put in this tobacco. Durham ! . Well, you can smell tobacco all over Durham. Ton live in" its atmosphere and breathe it, for these factories are catting it up into powder with machinery that drives the dust oat into the air and the wind wafts it ail over town. But git is not at all unpleasant, and they say that one can breathe it until he does not care to chew it. It is like the old, fat and greasy nooks, who in the old times hardly ever ite anything but just kept fat and -lick from the odors of smoking and Trying meats. Before I forget it let me tell you that ;here is buried in the churchyard at Tarboro a colonel of a Georgia regiment -what regiment I do not know, but he coloners name was Mercer. He vas killed near there and his grave has tome cannon balls around it, and his tame pencilled on a board. Governor 7olquitttoid me that he knew his father yell and this man was when a young nan sent to West Point, and was a very roung and brave officer. If any of his kindred desire to -know more about him hey can write to Mr. David Pender, t Tarboro. I am now on the borders of the Dis? ci al Swamp, that horror of my childhood, rhere I supposed were hidden bears nd panthers and crocodiles and anacen las, and was lighted np with Jack 'lanterns. They say it is peacable ow and quiet. BILL A KP. -i ? ? ? ? mm Storm Echoes. We collate from the Greenville i Yews, Columbia Register and Angus- : a Chronicle some items in reference 0 the late flood which shows the 1 xeat exteut of the damage done, j 'he News says : Mr. Uightower left Charleston on ] he afternoon of Wednesday, 19th i Dst, and lay over in Columbia that ; ight He left Columbia on Thurs ay, 20th, on the regular passenger ( rain for this city. Conductor Mere- 1 Ith was in charge and there was t bout the usual number of passengers. < Al went well and there was no indi arion of serious trouble until the g rain was flagged down a hundred s ards below Alston by a section nias- t sr who gave the conductor a tele- v ram ordering him not to take his train c ver the trestle then just ahead of him nd between him and Alston, Capt. r leredith sent back a brakeman to a ag down a special train which was a >Uowing him and informed the pas- e engers of the condition of affairs. Tearly all of them decided to walk t > Alston to get dinner. Meanwhile h ie brakeman who had gone back tl >und that a trestle'600 or 700 yards 1< ehind, which his 'rain had just cross- 1 i, had suuk below the level of the h trek. He stopped the special train, b hich attempted to return to Coluro- s ta and found a trestle behind it had v so tumbled. It can not be learned are who was on the special. The tl vo trains were left standing a mile h : two apart, each on a short section tl 1 track and each with one broken ri estie before and another behind it. Ii hey could not get together and fr dither could advance or retreat. When the conductor and his pas- h rogers had been at Alston awhile the? ol und that the trestle they had crossed ei as sinking gradually, and that all eon ?ction between them and the train ri ould soon be cut off. Two ladies ll to had come from Charleston and had C ?kets for Cincinnati were yet aboard e train and could not walk the ties- W 3, which by this time was leaning ? hi ) the river, oue side being several | ches tower than the other. j si Thc conductor catied for volun- S? ers to go to the rescue of the ladies b< ?th a hand car. Baggage Master ichey and Mr. Hightower prompt- th offeied their services. They car- ol id the car over, got the two ladies w d all the light baggage left in the pl rs on it and started back. It was j hz and that the incline of the trestle Fri is so great that the car would turn er if put on it, and several colored cticn hands hurried over and held s upper side down while Messrs. & chev and Uightower pushed. The rilous passage was made safely and erybody got off the trestle before fell, except one section hand. Ile j M is not quick enough and went down ! i? th the wreck, but he succeeded in 1* i m ruing out. Tl Most of the passengers crossed the of oad river bridge, a short distance Cl s side of Alston, to Peak's, where j!" ,?y slept Thursday night. The an artanburg and Union branch of the J lumbla and Greenville nins from tK sion, but there was a break on the to e of the branch also and no outlet pe s offered in that direction. The e'< nation was a very serions one, es- ! to ?ially to those passengers who had O? >ected a short journey and provi l themselves with little or no fal ney. lt was made worse by the th' omy facts all around them, fhe Broad river was four inches bo her than in the great freshet of cai 5 and the railroad bridge which fat nected the Jogging at Peak's and Pr< board at Alston was expected to Sp every hour Two milis up the ?r were known to be undermined d.?; in water to their second floors the belief was general when they in te down and crashed against the an< Ige the latter would surely go. Thc . thc water was running with tremendous force and swept away everything it could reach. Great trees with all their limbs and leaves on them were swept under the bridge and several small houses were seen to go by along with other wreckage. Everybody who has travelled on the Columbia and Greenville Road has noticed a large island in Broad river a short distance above the bridge. On this island two white men and one colored' one had gone to finish planting a crop they were making. Wednesday night their boat was swept away by the rising water. The river rose steadily, and of thir? teen cattle on the island seven were carried away. Five head of horses also went down with the flood and the timber that fringed the island was floated or broken Cut and carried away. The result was the three men on the island spent all day Thursday and Friday gradually giving back be? fore the risirig river until they bad barely an acre of unconvered ground left. Three other men on an island three miles above were caught even worse. They were forced to take to trees on Wednesday, and remained perched in them until Friday, and possibly later, withont food or rest and with no rescue possible. At last accounts a boat was being built at Alston to go the rescue of these im? perilled people. Mr. Hisrhtower with several la dies who were under his charge and other passengers tired of the scenery and life at Alston, interesting as both were, and left there by wagon on Friday afternoon. They made New? berry that night, came to Laurens on the Laurens railroad on Saturday, and came from Laurens to Greenville by private conveyance reaching here three days behind time and a good many dollars out of pocket. They report several passengers at Alston in a deplorable condition, without money to pay for their meals and unable to leave. It is likely, however, that Capt. Meredith reported the facts at the Columbia ofiice and that relief | has been sent in some shape. All the low country mails are yet in confusion. One day's mail is on the abandoned train. The rest of it for last week is turning up here in ill kinds of unexpected lumps, from various directions and at curious times. The Columbia and Greenville au? thorities are taking passengers be? tween Columbia and Greenville around by Charlotte for the fare charged on the old route. Mails will probably take the same course here? after. The Register says : The reports of damage to the plantations below the city, and loss of crops and stock, continue to come in, and will show a very great loss. Of 250 acres in cotton ou B. F. Grif Sn's place 140 acres are under water, and will be totally lost. Mr. Thomas Murphy, fourteen niles below .the city, lost two mules ind a colt, and all his cattle save two lead. The bridge over Gill's creek at Hampton's, on the Bluff road and ;he Childs place, have been carried iway. There is no telegraphic communi ?at?on between stations on the Co? rnubia and Greenville road and Spar anburg and Union road, and this nty Mr. Moulton, the manufacturer of | stockings at the penitentiary, will luffer severely, as he will be forced o suspend work until the canal vater is clear enough to be used in lyeing. Says the Augusta Chronicle : A eporter met Mr. John B. Campbell, > large planter on the river lauds, nd asked if his crops were destroy Mr. Campbell replied that every hing he had planted was a total sss. The only thing he could now [o' was to plant corn and peas. Iiis jss would, amount to about $2,500. | j t takes three or four month*, said e, to prepare the land for planting, nt now we shall have to prepare the ame amount of land in three or four i j reeks if we wish to make crops. Mr. Campbell furthermore said lat this was the only freshet we ave had in May since 1852, when ie entire town was covered. The iver was then 37 feet 2 inches high, ra 1876 the crops were ruined by a eshet in June. Mr. W. II. Warren, besides losing ' * is entire crop, lost about 100 tons f haj% which he had already gath ted and stacked up on his place. Besides these gentlemen, of the ver fai mers, Messrs. W. B. Capers I. II. Hickerraau, William Walton, naries Phim'zy, James L Fleming, lawford Rhodes, Thomas Heckle, Gilliam Deas, and Mr. John Phihizy'S sirs are large losers by the floods. The loss by high waters on this ile along between here and New availtiah will probably aggregate .-tween $50,000 and ?100,000. Even if we have no more rains e lands will not be in condition to ow ui.tii the latter pait of next eek. And no farmer can start _ anting now and make more than | J ilf he could have made if the tsliet had not ruined his first crop. The New Bishops. y nth Carotina Honored hg thc Selec? tion of One of Uer Attest Divines. The General Conference of the ethodist Episcopal Church South,, session at Richmond, on Tuesday ? b< Ith; elected the following Bishops : io Rev Dr. Wm. Wallace Duncan South Carolina, the Rev. Dr. miles B: Galloway of Mississippi, e Rev. Dr. Eugene Russell Hendrix d the Rev. Dr. Joseph Stanton It will afford the highest gratifica- j >n to the Methodists of our Slate see that it has b??eii honored in the lection of one of their ablest, most >quent and most beloved ministers the office of Bishop, in the person Rev. Wm. Wallace Duncan, D. D. The distinguished honor could have len upon none more worthy to wear 2 responsible robes of that office. j 19 Bishop Duncan, we believe, was rn in Virginia, from which State he me in youth willi his distinguished her, when the latter caine to take a lessorship in Welford College, artanburg, which he filled with so ich distinction to the day of his j A ath. ll Bishop Duncan also filled a chair ' the 6ame institute for many years, 1 for several years past has been : efficient and successful agent of! an the College, and by bia eloquent ap? peals m its behalf bas done much to place it upon a sure financial founda? tion. Ile is recognized as one of the moat progressive and eloqaent preach? ers of the South, and bis indomitable energy will introduce an infosion of vigor into the College of Bishops, which will aid it to meet the demands which the rapidly expanding interests of tue church need at this time. The newly elected Bishop is the brother of Colonel D. R. Duncan of Spartanburg, and of Colonel D. P. Duncan, President of- the State Agri? cultural Society and Railroad Com? mission.-Columbia Register, Dr. Charles B. Galloway was born in Kosciusko, Miss., September 1, 1849, and was educated in the Uni? versity of his State, entered the Mis? sissippi Conference in 1868, and was engaged in regular pastoral work till 1882, when he was made editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate. He is probably the youngest Bishop the Methodist Church has had. The Rev. Eugene Russell Hendrix, D. D., was born in Fayette, Missouri, May, lt, 1847, graduated at the Wes? leyan University in 1867, and at Union Theological Seminary, New York, in 1869 ; joined the Missouri Conference in 1869, served on mis? sions, stations, and in the presidency of Central College, Missouri, Holding the latter position since 1878. He accompanied Bishop Marvin in his travels round the world in 1876 and 1377, and upon his return published a volume giving au account of his tour. The Rev. Joseph Stanton Key, D. D., was born July 18, 1829, gradu? ated from Emory College, Oxford, Ga., in 1848 entered the Georgia Con? ference in 1849, and has-been in the regular work of the Methodist itine? racy ever since, filling missions sta? tions and serving as presiding elder in districts.
