and "keep in uic ujiuhh-the road?" nmi North Wrappers Sho t. It is now a eoncrUd lact that the crop of wrapj rs is growing short, and the enquiry is what substitute will the plug manufacturers resort to in order to bridge oer. The supply of wrappers cannot be iouno in me iooo eiup. mc duction of wrappers scarcely amounts to enough to; make any note of at all. The 18S7 crop pro duced a large surplus of what has been styled leafy fillers that may be substituted for common and medium wrappers, which is better than the wrappers found in the ISSS crop, excepting a very limited amount: of wrappers produced in a few sections that were more highly favored with seasons than the great body of the tobacco growing sections of North Carolina or Virginia.

Would it not be policy in the manufacturers that are short of wrappers, or expect to be before the year's work of 1 889 is completed, to turn their attention to these leafy before, the large operators or speculators: gobble up this class of goods We are not in the plug business at present, and we mar be taking a view of the situation from a wrong standpoint. Our glasses may magnify, but be this as it may, we venture to say (arid we try to be very cautious in' wThat we do sar)thatthe man who depends on the 18SS crop for wrappers, will come out with very short rations. We are well aware of the fact that we expose, ourselves to criticism by a few Smart Alexsy who think they know it all, and never find out any better until, like a fisherman's cork, he has gone under. I tell you, friend, when the, fish begin to nibble you had better keep your hand on the pole, or you will lose your bait. i i lliehinondV'Va.

treatment of to the in to et of Special Correspondence to The Plant. Raleigh, N. Feb. 19, '89. The Raleigh school bill passed it third reading to-day by a very large vote.

The memorial, signed by 84,000,000, failed to kill the bill. The bill to provide a better system of public roads in the State passed its second reading to-day. It pro vides that if the commissioners and justices of peace so decide, any county may receive irom tne peni- tentiarv not less than twentv nor more than fifty convicts to be used by such county in work upon the miblic roads. Each county is to pay the expenses of feeding and clothing and guarding the convicts. This, if generally adopted by the counties, will at an early day put the roads of the State in better condition and at the same time enable the penitentiary to become self-sustaining.

If any two better things can be done by any one bill we tail to see wh.it it can be. I The most hotly contested tight in the House to-day was upon the bill to cut off part of Clemmonville town'-ship, in Davidson count, and add it to Forsyth. Nearly all of the people! in the boundary in question, are anxious to go to Forsvth countv, bcr cause all their commercial transactions arc with Winston, and thev will soon have railroad connection there also, and because the territory desirous of leaving Davidson is from 18 to 125 miles from Lexington. The House, by a majority of five, refused to let them depart in peace Mr. Walser, of Davidson, made a strong fight, and Mr.

Reyswer of failed to develop much skill in ma nipulating Legislators, so Davidson remains in tact. Oh, how badly the Legislators want to go to New Berne. But the members of the House will in a large measure have to "deny themselves that pleasure or jeopardize the Kail-road Commission bill, for that is the special order in the House to-morrow. By the way, it is not so certain now that a Commission bill will pass. The Senate to-day postponed the bill pending in the House, and without very strong and in matters like this delays are exceedingly dangerous.

The Commission sentiment- in the House is not so strong as it was thought to be. The general school bill occupied most of the Senate's time to-dav. Set. ator Shaw has the matter in hand as chairman of the Committee on Education. The C.

F. Y. V. Railroad bill passed to-day. This bill repeals all laws assigning convicts to that road and returns to that co npany th bonds of that company now held bv the Treasurer.

This was so manifestly fair and right that nobody opposed it, although it was thought 'there would be opposition. lhe foot-ball game between Wake Forest and Chapel Hill did not come tf. ke Forest is saving all her; strength to play Trinity on Friday.

19. Judge Edgerton's letter to the President, scoring the Executive for removing him from the office of Civil Service Commissioner, is out. It is curiosity, and one scarcely knows whether to laugh or pity the indignant old gentleman. This is said to be a correct Cabinet slate, The authority for it is the Indianapolis an organ very close to the President-elect.

P. O. There was a filibuster today in the House over the Direct Tax bill. It is thought the Ways and Means Committee, with some others, are doing this in order to kill time and prevent the consideration of the Cowles bill. The lines of battle are closely drawn and the outcome of the antagonism between the Ways and Means Committee and the Appropriations Committee on this point, will result in no tariff or internal revenue legislation whatever.

This is said to be a part of wart and Mott's programme Messrs. Brower Nichols and Cannady are to be showed Under and relegated to the background This will prove a hard job (but that is not iny lookout). Having performed this Herculean feat, however, here is the official slate in part In the Western District, Patterson is to be Collector, George Smathers is to be District Attorney with Dr. Mott's son as Assistant. Bogle is to be U.

S. Marshall. In the Eastern District Colonel R. E. Young is to be Collector, the place so long held by his brother, the late Col.

Ike Tom. Dev-ereux is to be District Attorney, Loge Harris United States Marshall, O. Dockery Consul General to Liverpool, Victor Doekery, a son of "my son Oliver," is to be Secretary of Legation to Paris. Richmond Pearson is to be Solicitor-General, Pritchard is to be Assistant Commissioner of patents, Fine programme, it The most diliicult feat is the first one, however, snowing under Cannady, Nichols and Brower! It is worse than jumping over six barebacked horses, returning to the circus figure of speech, and Ewart and Mott will have to be practiced political acrobats to do it! Cannady will be sure to kick while they are in transitu over him and John Sherman will be around trying to upset that performance in some way. I am not well acquainted with Messrs.

Nichols and Brower, but if I had the feat in contemplation, I guarantee I would leave Col. W. P. Cannady outside of the tent.

Biscuits made from it are much lighter than when Hog Laird is used; pie-crust more delicate, and, while short and crisp, is not so greasy as that made from Hog Lard. Oysters, Croquettes, Fish Balls, fried in it reach the perfection to which cooks aspire in preparing these articles brown, dry, and free from grease. C. O. P.
