H. Osborne has retired from the AsheviUe Kegister.

He roes out because of the ''general drift of the piper." Mr. 8. Herren remains in charge. Wilmington Bishop "Watson left for New "Xork Tuesday night, where he goes, in response to a summons by telegraph, to attend a council of the House ol Bishops of his Church. Lumberton Robesonian: On last Monday night some person fired several pistol shots, tme of which struck the window sill of Mr.

T. Williams dining room while several guests were sitting at the supper table. AsheviUe Citizen: It is thought there will be 50,000 people in attendance upon the celebration to be held in Charlotte on the 20th of May. The peach crop in other sections of the state fa reported not materially damaged. West of the Blue Ridge it is greatly damaged.

Charlotte Observer: Capt R. D. Graham, a well known member of the Charlotte bar, has received the appointment of Secretary of the Civil Service Commission, and left last night for Washington City to assume the duties of -that position. He succeeds Mr. W.

S. Roul-hae, resigned. The Wilson Advance says: The boldness and increased activity of the burglars in our town gives cause for On last Sunday morning two of them entered Young's hotel just about daylight -jad stole some articles of wear, were discover ed, pursued beyond the factory and then made good their escape. They were ne groes. The Wilmington Review says: A number of prominent colored men in this city 1 have associated themselves together for1 the purpose of conducting here a business in real estate and in all kinds of produce, and have taken out papers of incorporation under act of the legislature, with the title of the "Cape Fear Enterprising Company." Statesville Landmark: News comes in from the county that some of the wheat, all of which has up to this time been looking splendidly, has taken on a yellow and unhealthy cast.

By some this is attributed to too much rain, by others to the cold weather and by others still to the fly. It cannot be told to what extent it has been damaged, if at all. The Board of Medical Examiners will meet in Raleigh one day in advance of the meeting of the State Medical Society 1 on the 19th of Mav, and continue in session until all candidates are examin ed. The State Board of Health also holds a conjoint session- with the State Medical Society on the second day of the session of the latter eooiety, viz: the 21st day of May. Clinton Caucasian: A leading farmer in this county thinks that the idea of some men that it is necessary to ehange seed corn frequently is erroneous.

He says if you have good seed to start with, and improve your land and cultivate it well, the corn will continue to improve. Let some body else speak on this subject. Farmers ought to have more to say about matters which concern their interest. Fayetteville Observer: A few days ago while conversing with Mr. N.

G. Wade, who lives about 14 miles from Fayetteville, we learned that he had that day sold a flock of sheep in this market, and at satisfactory prioes. Upon further inquiry he informed us that he pastured his sheep all the winter in a large field which was literally covered with "wiM onions." He stated that this kind of food was not only highly relished bv the sheep, but the7 "kept fat" on it alt the time. The Washington Gazette says There was a flying rumor in town that a hitherto respectable citizen had committed a forgery of certain notes and mortgages and had attempted to negotiate them at the bank of C. M.

Brown. The rumor was afterwards confirmed, and when it became known that the guiity party was Sasitici S.Jones the surprise was very great. The facts are that Jones forged the names of certain parties in Hyde county to certain notes and mortgages, together with the probates and certificates of registration. These he attempted to sell to several parties in town. Warrenton Gazette: A farmer told us yesterday that he had to pay $10 a barrel for flour on time, or $6 cash.

The fruit has about passed all danger and the yield promises to be abundant. Mr. Fur-ney Southall shot and badly wounded Anthony Williams, colored, last Friday evening. Mr. Southall had occasion to speak to a negro boy about his work, when Williams, who had nothing whatever to do with it, ran up and seized him in the collar, and began to beat him.

He was pulled off and Mr. Southall went in the house, and the negro followed him in with an axe. Southall had gone out of the front door when the negro saw him and went for him again. He was warned not to approach, but Williams continued to advance, and saying that he did not mind his gun more than a "pork stalk," seized it by the muzzle, when Mr. South-all fired, the entire load passing through the fleshy part of the inside of the thigh.

Hickory Carolinian: We learn there is a move being made for a graded school in Hickory. It seems incredulous, but no doubt true as the Enterprise says, that Jacob Setzer had $400 io gold blown away by the cyclone, but has since found it A sack of corn wae found eight miles from Newton that was blown from that place. -Parta of the Methodist church have been found three miles away, and papers were blown from Mr. C. Jar retts house to within six miles of Statesville twenty-five or thirty miles.

After the cyclone had passed over Cabar rus county many of the DeoDle dus "storm holes" for a retreat from the next one that might come along. -Last Friday night one of them was awakened by the howling wind and jumped out of bed and rushed into the hole. In his haste, he misplaced some timbers about the entrance and as he went down a lot of timber and dirt went in on him and he was badlv bruised and held down all night, until his wife, who was from home, returned and called help to get him out. He has filled it up. MORTGAGE The Disastrous System of Credit Farming.

Its Influence upon Business Generally Correspondence of the E3izbetb City Falcon. North Carolina is without doubt a State rich in possibilities, I mean that we have in the greatest abundance he crude material out of which power and prosperity is fashioned, North Carolina will ultimately' become a great manufacturing State. The reason of this is that sharp competition is driving manufacturers to localities where the natural conditions are most favorable to their cheap and effective operation. For instance, the water-power of North Carolina "Will with the greatest ease work all the factories on this continent and leave room for as many more. Think of that! What an immense saving in the cost of production could be made by utilizing this force.

Here is one great advantage. Now with reference to cotton manufacture, there is no reason why New England or Old England should be able to compete with us in this matter at all. Our cotton costs from five to sev en dollars a bale less than it costs the New England manufacturer and from ten to fifteen dollars, less than it costs the British manufacturer. With this im mense advantage we ought to be able to make and sell cotton goods with a reasonable nrofit at the bare price of production in either New England or Great Britain. These are logical deductiens from admitted facts, not mere theories, North Carolina is bound in course of time, by all known economic laws, to become a great manufacturing State.

But she will never become an exclusively manufac taring State. Her lands will continue to be quite as fruitful sources of wealth as her factories in the palmiest days to come. This will hold good taking the State through and through, and applied to the East, 1 am constrained to believe that for all time, just as at present, the backbone of her prosperity will be HER AGRICULTURAL INTEREST. This is a matter of opinion, and others may take issue with me, but all will ad mit that at this time the mainspring of our section's business life is her fields and farm. Then let us in solving this ques tion of our prosperity apply ourselves to the study of the conditions that do actual ly exi-t, rather than waste our energies in marking out a programme for future use when these conditions may be chang ed.

Good crops and good prices not only help the farmer, but the merchant, the mechanic, the professional man, the common unskilled laborer. It requires no great amount of economic discernment to understand why this is so, or why on the other hand bad crops and low prices necessarily produce a depression in every kind of business, It follows as a matter of course that an improvement in the condition of our agricultural classes must result to the advantage of the whole com munity. In fact, my own theory is that every progressive step which our community take must start with the farmers, and that is the reason I have given so much attention to this class in my letters. Your merchant, be he ever so enterprising, can't build up a good trade without good patrons, can't fill his store with goods that have no market, can't sell on close margins of profit upon long credit; nd if the farmer have no money, where are his supplies to come from, and whence is the cash to come to feed and clothe the professional man and the mechanic, and where in the world, is the merchant's paying custom to come from? But the farmer must live, crops or no corps, his family must be provided for; he must have money to employ hands and conduct his farming operations. A bad crop year comes along and leaves him flat, WHAT IS HE TO DO? He goes to Mr.

A. who has money to lend on preferred security and borrows a sum to buy his seed and fertilizer and do ome actually necessary repairs about the farm. He secures Mr A. by a mortgage on the farm, and pays him anywhere from ten to fifteen per cent, interest. He opens an account with Mr.

B. at the country store, and secures the proprietor by a chattel mortgage on his personal effects and a lien on the crop. With an alacrity born of human weakness Mr. receives that he has him (the farmer) in the clutches and seldon fails to werk i him with an eT single to his own per-; fsonal gain. He char5 profat of from nftyto hundred per cent, every article bought on that account AnJ tne far, mer is bound to pay it.

though he CPu'd i buy the identical article elsewhere for half that money, for he has no cash and no credit elsewhere. He is actually paying his merchant something like seventy-five per cent, interest on the amount of his account. And yet lie feels all the while as theugh he were under a tremen dous personal obligation to the merchant for letting him have goods at any price! Now he has to get his hands and they too have a laborer's lien on his crop, but that is the least evil he has to contend with. If he would stop and think, he would see that nothing short of a miracle would ever bring him out of the mire to sound land again. He would see that for every day he worked for himself, the labor of at least one other day must go to Mr.

A. and B. to meet the interest on his borrowed capital, with the princi pal iust as great as ever, and all the time his notes maturing and no money to satisfy the mortgages. Harvest comes, but not plenty with it; in its stead disas ter often utter financial ruin. Have you an idea to what extent this condition of affairs prevails among the farmers of the State of this section of this county? Go look at the public records and read the dismal narrative which they furnish.

If agriculture is the base of our prosperity, how can we thrive tinder such a lamentable condition of things? DEBT DEBT DEBT what a strong-forged chain it is binding us to onr broken idols, what a fruitful source of disaster and what a powerful engine of evil, what a mighty incubus upon onr prosperity! i5ut it is easier to denounce debt than to shun its companionship or to shake it off when its strong arms are about yon. I have en deavored to briefly point out the disas trous effects of onr credit system of farm ing. The evil 19 recognized: at another time I will give my views as to the reme dy. Awn Rut.
