of rivers drying them up in summer and flood ing theixi in winter it opens the country to severe wind storms and in many ways affects the comfort and health of the people chinese question a washington special to the new york star says the chinese minister was much displeased with president cleveland's message on the indemnity demand for outrages perpetrated in wyoming territory on the chinese he referred to the indemnity conceded to this country in the canton riots .' the president endeavored to show that • the cases were not analagous and the minister's demand not well founded j this produced indignation instead of satisfaction and it is thought trouble is ahead the english and german i ministers says this correspondent side with the chinese and throw their in fluence to the production of dissension , the chinese have a fashion of cutting off heads which they seem to think our government should proceed to do j without the ceremony of a court and jury trial the proposed increase of the rates on 4th class mail matter the author of the bill mr wilson of iowa frank ly admits was intended for the protec tion of country merchants the end aimed at is to prevent country people from ordering goods from a city mer chant and to compel them to buy from the country merchant the measure is unjust to the people and those who support it will be sure to hear it when they return to their constituents it involves the same oppressive principle of our present protective tariff which puts a high rate on foreign merchan dise in order to protect home manu facturers for the rate is fixed high enough to make it impossible for the foreign manufacturer to compete with the home producer under this sys tem the home manufacturer grows rich at the expense of the home people who

school at the kluttz school house the exercises on friday and saturday were of the nature of a commencement at the close mr bost delivered an address on the subject choosing a profession or aim in life his subject was addressed more particu larly to the boys of his school in which was set forth very lucidly that it was the aim that makes the man and without an aim however talented he may be he will never be of much weight in the com munity mr bost has been teaching in this vicinity for the last twelve or fifteen years which speaks well for him and knows just where how and when to strike to reach the better part of his pupils after the closing exercises ot the school the committee according to previous ap pointment called a meeting to consult on the advisability of building a new school

also plenty of black boards all wo have to say is that is an aim in the right direction go ahead ! yours truly ii j rev sam jones • the revivalist was not so successful in chicago as elsewhere he succeeded in raising a storm of indignation against himself on one occasion which affords reason to fear that his light may yet go out suddenly and leave the world in as deep darkness as before his entrance upon the stage as a reformer we quote from the x y star march 5th the following notice that most sensational of modern reviva lists rev sam jones of atlanta uu is a gospcler of manifold eccentrities and abrupt surprises his labors in the vineyard are popularly believed to have resulted in awakening the convictions and improving the morals of a certain class whose harden ed hearts can only lie reached by a preach er who possesses the lungs ol a stentor the tongue of a street fakir and the general style and easy vociferation of an auctioneer mr jones possesses these gifts in an emi nent degree and his audiences have been uniformly disposed to be generous toward his eccentricities in view of the earnestmss he threw into his work and his manifest sincerity in the missionary field presum ing upon his indulgence the evangelist when he found himself face to face with an intelligent audience in chicago on monday evening proceeded to make offensive re marks which his hearers were prompt to resent as insulting the preacher asked that all who had prayed on their knees before coming to the meeting rise in their seats twenty stood up and to the majori ty who remained seated he cried out that he wanted them to take their carcasses out of here the scene that followed was sensational beyond the expectations even of the revi valist himself all over the hall men and women stood up and a tempest of indigna tion seemed to let itself loose inan instant revivalist jones received such a rebuke from his justly exasperated audience as he will not soou forget manners and morals tit well together and even a popular re vivalist need not forget that the dissemi nation of the gentle and benign doctrines of christianity is in no wise inconsistent with the character of a gentleman a better probably more truthful and satisfactory statement of the chicago af fair at the first baptist church in chicago monday rev sam jones the southern evangelist said what a privilege it is to pray now i want all those who got down on their knees and prayed before they came to this meeting to rise in iieir feats 7 ' about 20 persons arose in the auditorium the evangelist leaned against the pulpit and seemed to gasp for breath you may be seated now he said why brethren you would find more prayerful christians in hong kong china than there arc in this meeting to-day if you can't pray i want you to take your carcasses out of here i don't want you to come here if you can't pnij an aged man sitting in one of the front pews leaped to his feet and in a fal tering voice said mr jones i don't think it is necessary for a person to get down on his knees and pray i consider myself a good christian and i do not like to hear such talk i was about to say the same thing ex claimed rev mr scutlder of plymouth church i prayed while on ray way to church god docs not demand that a man shall get down on his knees before his pray ers are heard any more exculpatory remarks drawl ed the evangelist dr scudder — these are not exculpa tory remarks a nihii with an ear trumpet arose and punctuated his remarks with vigorous pounding on the rostrum mr jones he began i did not have time to get down on my knees and pray for this meeting i have spent nearly the en tire day reading the bible to a gambler and a drunkard and i think i am entitled to respect here other men and several women began to stand up in various sections of the church but a few explanatory remarks served to still the tempest and the revivalist was per mitted to finish his sermon without further interruption when a shoemaker has to buy his own shoos a tailor purchase a ready made suit and farmers go to the stores for their corn and meat there is some thing wrong let the farmers diversi fy their crops too much cotton is not good for our county that's not successful farming when farmers find their graiuaries at the stores that country where farmers raise their own provisions is in a prosperous e n lition

the democratic papers of the state are requested to print grape-growing and wine-making raleigh news and observer we are glad to note the fact that a convention of grape-growers and wine makers will be held in washington in may next for the purpose of forming a national association of those engaged in the two industries mentioned and we hope north carolina will be well represented thereat it is proposed to hold in connection with the convention an exposition of american wines and other products of the grape and an ad dress has been issued by those engineer ing both the convention and the exposi tion in which it is shown that the grape can be successfully grown on lands that have been condemned for general agriculture purposes that owing to favorable climatic conditions soil in gredients and geological formation cer tain belts and areas of country are ex ceptionally well adapted to the produc tion of grapes and that such lands ap preciate rapidly in value under such cul tivation we all know that this state lies within one of the belts and forms one of the areas above referred to and it only remains for us to realize fully the importance of the wine-growing in terest and the possibilities of profit and better general health that it holds there has already been a rapid exten sion of the industry in the state despite the lack of any organized effort in its behalf and it is therefore evident that it can easily be made to reach the pro portions it should bear in such favor able soiland under such genial skies as those nature had vouchsafed us it should be fostered and encouraged in every way possible there is not a county in the state in which it could not be profitably pursued every far mer should have his vineyard big or little just as he has his own orchard he should make grapes not only for domestic consumption but for shipment to the markets north and west he would find the enterprise as profit able as any other in which he could embark in the address to which we have re ferred it is represented that the acreage in vines in the united states has more than doubled within the past five years and covers at the present time not less than 300,000 acres farmers who talked of planting five and ten acres then now take fifty and one hundred with the ease and confidence that a thoroughbred would take a hurdle the increase in quantity has been out stripped in qualities of varieties selected so that it would not be an exaggeration to say that practically our whole sys tem has been revolutionized within the period named the capital invested in vineyards and vineyard properties in the whole country at the present time is not less than 100,000,000 the pre sent ratio of increase of planting and investment is about 100 per cent in 3 years this ratio kept up until 1896 will give us as the result of nine yp;irs 800,000,000 invested and 2,400,000 acres planted and estimating the pro duct at 400 gallons of wine to the acre supposing all were made into wine would yield the round number of jg 000,000 gallons a quantity equal to the present wine prodactio'n of france vet startling as this may seem it is en tirely within the realms of possibilities and depends for its accomplishment upon the question of whether or not there is a paying market that this question may be answered in the affirmative is made evident by the recent action of the california grape-growers and wine-dealers looking to a patting up of the prices of native wines the unexpected shortage in the grape crop of 1885 is given as the main cause of the movement the rise has not yet been decided upon but it is es timated that it will reach about 20 per cent all round we are anxious to see our people a grape-growing a wine making and a native-wine-drinking people not a people drinking to ex cess of course but a people drinking the pure and wholesome wines of their own manufacture to the exclusions of the often vile concoctions they now consume as whisky and beer we be lieve that in that direction lies the shortest road to the temperance we all desire to see prevailing throughout the land the native-wine-drinking people of the world wherever found are tem perate people w hy should there be a difference in our case in this connection it may be well to note the fact that representative green of this state himself a large wine maker has in charge a bill prepared by the state yiticultural commission of california and the national vine growers association of new york re lating to spurious and adulterated wines which he will introduce at the earliest opportunity under its provis ions pure w r ines the product of this country are exempted from taxation but all compounds or adulterations of wines are taxed and when such com pounds or adulterations are represented to be pure they are subject to forfeit ure and offenses against the law are punishable by tine and imprisonment in addition to forfeiture iu m i » — the blair bill in the house norfolk virginian dem the pathway of those who favor the blair educational bill appears to be beset with difficulties many people and papers in the early stages of its discussion adopted the conclusion that this sugar-coated pill would go down the national throat without a halt the developments at the present sit ting of congress indicate that such parties made a great mistake it is re lated that at the friday's meeting of the house education committee a pretty fight was witnessed the bill was opposed vigorously by representa tives miller burnes and strait and de fended by mr willis only nine mem bers were present when the first vote was taken this vote stood 5 to 4 to report the bill to the house after the vote was taken two members en tered the room and a motion was made to reconsider the vote this was carried — 7 to 3 — and it was decided to consider the subject again at the next meeting it is apparent that a ma jority of the committee oppose the measure but some of its opponents are willing that it should go back to the house for the question to be settled there the opposition that has devel oped is a surprise to the friends of the bill and it is thought now that many southern members whom it was sup posed would favor it will vote the oth er way besides should it command a majority vote in both branches of congress it is a question of some doubt whether the approval of the president could be secured david crockett ben perley poor in the sunny south david crockett was the roughest diamond that ever sparkled in the house of representatives reared in the cabin of his father a revolution ary soldier who was a pioneer settler in tennessee he became noted as a marksman a bear hunter and an in dian tighter in due time he was sent to the legislature and in 1827 he went to congress wearing a homespun suit with a waistcoat made from the skin of a panther which he had shot he at tracted some attention ami the most absurd stories were told of hie prowess he told some good stories but the greater part of his remarks were coarse and vulgar it so happened however that he became arrayed against gen jackson on an indian bill and when the president sent a friend to him to tell him that he must support the bill if he desired re-election he replied i believe the measure is unjust and wicked and i shall right it let the con sequences be what they may i am willing to go with lien jackson in everything 1 believe right and honest but beyond that i won't go for any man in creation i would sooner be honest and politically damned than hypocritically immortalized the whigs took him up and ho visited philadelphia new york and boston receiving marked attention and many presents in each city when he re turned to tennessee and went into the canvass he found that president lack son was too much for him and he was beaten by about three hundred votes he went to texas where he fought gallantly and was killed when the alamo was taken ami its garrison was slaughtered his son john w served as a whig in congress from l s^7 to 1841 he then removed to new or leans where he edited a paper for awhile and then returned to tennessee where lie
