W> regret to set* that Mr. Creecy,
the Nestor of the State Press, heads
his editorial —Notes from a Sick
Chamber. Our sympathies, kind
friend.
The grand jury is this week to
investigate the election frauds ex
posed by the Richmond Times. A
thorough investigation will b 8
made, and the guilty persons pun
ished.
Thh widow refused a pension—
was the head line, and forthwith all
of her friends began to compliment
the widow on her remarkable pa
triotism in refusing a pension.
But bias, it was quite the contrary;
just the reverse. She was awfully
disappointed because the stingy
Congress had refused to give her a
pension. It was only a case of
"English as she is wrote.”
Asheville has lately had some
booms, and it may be that hereafter
she may occupy the position which
the White Sulphur Springs once
held as being a pleasant place to
arrange political slates. Easily ac
ceseible from Washington, gentle
men desiring to esoape from the
confinement of the Capital will find
it a charming place for recupera
tion.
Mb. Frink F. Bissell writes to the
Star and mentions that in glancing
over a speech in Congress he noticed
several clippings from newspapers
in 1846 concerning the Democratic
tariff of that date, and every refer
ence to it was as “the McKay tariff
act.” The pubtic gives tne honor
to Robert J. Walker, because as
Secretary of the Treasury, he aided
in framing the bill. Gen. McKay
was the R-presentative of the Cape
Fear District, and was from Bladen.
He was in Congress many years,
and was long the Chairman of the
committee on ways and means, and
although Secretary Walker was a
very able man, and the bill was in
conformity with his views, yet we
feel like Mr. Bissell does, that Gen.
McK iy’s name should be associated
with that legislation quite as much
as Wilson’s or McKinley’s names are
with the later measures. Gen Mc-
Kay died while passing through
Goldsboro just before the war.
RftPOR T ON IRON ORKS.
The Geological Survey report on
Iron Ores has been printed and is
now ready for distribution. Copies
can be obtained free on application
to the State G :ologiet by sending the
necessary postage (en cents) It
is a report of 239 pages, inter
spersed with numerous illustrations
which serve to make the text more
easily understood to the general
reader. It is also accompanied by
several maps, one of which, at the
end of the volume shows the lec
tion of all the principal iron ore de
posits of the state.
The report has been preposed by
the Assistant Ideologist, Mr.
under the direction of and with the
co-operation cf the State Geologist.
It embodies the results of examina
tions of all the more important iron
deposits known to occur in the
state, these being found in twenty
three countries. It also contains
more than 450 analyses of these ores
made by different chemists.
The principal ore deposits de
scribed are the following:
1. The magnetite and specular
ores of Granville county.
2. The brown hematite of Ore
Hill, Chatham county.
3. Magnetite ores of Stokeß, Surry
and Yadkin counties.
4. The magnetite and brown hema
tite ores of Catawba, Lincoln and
Gaston.
5. The magnetite ores of Ashe,
Mitchell and Madison.
6. The brown hematite ores of
western Madison and of Cherokee
counties.
These and other ore deposits are
described as fully as possible under
the ci cumstancee, but few of them
having been opened up sufficiently
to permit of their being described
more fully.
The report also contains a short
note of the early msnufaoture of
iron in North Carolina, showing
that aB early as 1729, small ship
ments of iron were made from the
Colony to England; and this is fol
lowed by a brief discussion of the
present condition of the iron in
dustry in Nc»th Carolina.
Mr. Nitze concludes his report
with the suggestion that while an
iron ore mine rnußt not be locked
upon as a Golgonda of fabulous
wealth, proper treatment may make
the investment a paying one. Own
ers and companies are beginning to
recognize their value; and on the
whole he save the prospects for an
established iron industry in North
Carolina are encouraging and its
value to the State cannot be over
estimated. These statements are in
our opinion the more important be
cause we have such confidence in
the thoroughness of the State Geolo
gist, and tne intelligent apprehen
sion of Mr. Nitze.
GOOD WOKIM ii»THICK THAN
CRITICISM.
We have always felt a keen inter
est that the public affairs of our
State should be under the manage
ment of those citizens who are best
fitted to administer them.
When our old government was
overthrown in 1867, we joined with
others who proposed to devote them
selves to the work of restoring and
maintaining good government
among our people, and having taken
bold of the plough handles we have
never let them go. At first the or
ganization w;s the Conservative
party; then the Democratic Conser
vative; then the Conservative Dem
ocratic; and finally simply the Dem
ocratic party in North Carolina.
Under its various names the organi
zation has sought the same object—
to secure to the State the blessings
of peaceful firesides, good will
among neighbors, contentment, pro
gress and prosperity, and hope in
the hearts and minds of the people.
These purposes have been reason
ably accomplished. Our home gov
ern men has certainly been a good
one.
The most important political con
test was in 1870, when we gained
the legislature. In 1876 we gained
the executive, and iwo years later
the judicial department.
In 1881 the supremacy of the
Damocratio party was seriously
threatened. There was cauße for
the greatest anxiety. Old and wise
leaders thought that the party could
maintain itself only by making con
cessions to its opponents and sacri
ficing the county government sys
tem it had instituted. Timid coun
sels however were met with firm
resolution, and courage carried us
safely through the difficulty.
Some four years ago the party
again became threatened; not how
ever because of the management of
home affairs, but becauee of national
matters. The work of disintegra
tion then begun continued un
til the party fell into the minority
in the State. Such was the situa
tion at the election in 1892 But
resolution, boldness, courage, again
gave us the victory.
Now we are approaching the time
when another campaign is to be
fought and won. It must be won.
The difficulties are very great, but
they must be overcome. And the
object of this article is to appeal to
Democrats all over the State, in the
editorial sanctums, on the streets,
on the farms, in the workshops,
everywhere--not to increase these
difficulties, but rather to lessen
them as far as possible, ho mueh
depends upon success.
If we fail, if an opposition legis
lature is elected, the system of Stale
government which the Democrats
have been building up for a quarter
of a century is placed at the mercy
of those who have antagonized it.
We might expect changes in the
tenant law, changes in the election
law, changes in the tax law, changes
in county government, changes in
the court system, in the administra
tion of the penitentiary, in the ad
ministration of the asylums, and
charities; in the school law and edu
cational institutions, etc., etc, and
indeed a sweeping revolution may
be expected in every branch of pub
lic affairs.
The situation then demands the
exercise of that rascally virtue,
prudence, to the last degree. Are
our people prudent? Are we not
imprudent? We lately saw in one
of our leading papers, which has a
wide influence, especially among the
editorial fraternity, an article
characterizing the Democratic ad
ministration at Washington as a
"faithless administration.” Are not
the conditions such that we had
better let the enemy do the throw
ing cf such stones—otherwise, are
we not in danger of becoming mixed
up with the enemy ?
Are we putting the conduct of
affairs at Washington in their best
light? or even a just light before
the public? The Democrats in
power at Washington are there
through our support. The circum
stances surrounding them are novel
and difficult, and we should be as
generous and as kind to them as
possible; at any rate, just. For the
first time in thirty odd years they
now have full power committed to
them, and even now the majority in
the Senate is so slender that the
slightest defection leaves them in a
minority.
The Democrats of this State gen
erally differed with Mr. Cleveland
before his nomination; Leoause of
those differences they did desire
his nomination; and they have dif
fered with him in regard to acts of
his administration. They do not ap
prove of hiß administration is some
aspects. But good Heavern! did we
not prefer him as a candidate to
Harrison or to any Republican; or
to Weaver or to any Third party
man? And do we not prefer hia ad
ministration to any that Harrison
or Weaver could have given us? We
knew the lines of difference be
tween him and ourselves at the
time of bis nomination and elec
tion. Let us not magnify them now.
As we have said on former occa
sions, it is altogether too soon to
be mapping out any pianos cam
paign. No one can say at present
what will be the issues on the
stump. We can, however, say what
will not be the issues: The Federal
election law will not be an issue,
for the Democrats have repealed
that. The tariff will not be an
issue, for the Democrats will have
given the country a low tariff in
place of the McKinley enormity
The income tax will not bean issue,
for the Democrats will have passed
that.
The issues on the stump will be
concerning such matters as are in
the minds of the people at the
time.
But now before the Democratic
Congress has had reasonable time
to complete its action, while our
friends are busy passing the meas
ures they have been maturing, while
they can point with pride to a vast
deal of beneficial work already well
done, and are still engaged in per
fecting other needed legislation, we
see Democrats, good men, men of
influence, men who largely give di
rection to public thought, impaling
our friends, and rending them to
pieces.
This is not only cruel to them,
but unjust to ourselves. It is not
strategy, it is not war It is au act
of self immolation. It is fearful
self sacrifice. It is Sampson tear
ing down the temple, even without
bis justification We do not, like
him, destroy our enemies in the ca
tastrophe.
Let us leave to the enemy the
casting of stones. The administra
tion is not faithless anv more than
it is faultless. The Damocrats at
Washington mean to do right. And
whether we approve of the action of
our frieuds in any particular in
stance or not, we should give them
credit for patriotism, even though
their judgment be erroneous; and
we should not turn loose upon them
the thunders of our denunciation.
As for Mr. Cleveland, we have dif
fered with him; and still do. But
let us not make too much of our dif
ferences. Let us rather seek to com
pose them, and preach unity, and
harmony within the ranks of De
mocracy Let ue p*«s around the
watch word, I am a Democrat; and
close up the ranks on that line.

Letter-
By Direct Private Wire to H. A.
Wilkinson, Raleigh, N. C.
New York, March 17.—Liverpool
evidently expected a larger amount
coming into eight this week than
was reported by the New Orleans
exchange yesterday, which was 10,-
000 less than the previous week.
Tne daily port movement for the
balance of this month last year was
quite large; and our impression is
that we snail fall under it, nearly
wvery day unless Memphis and towD
stocks in Texas unload freely, of
which there are no present indica
tions. Memphis receives 300 today
and ships 2,400, most of which wi 1
goto New Orleans and be reported
thereon Monday, therefore merely
exchanging stocks from one visible
point to another, without adding to
the supply.
Liverpool cables have been de
cidedly more encouraging today,
and as this market has advanced
about 4 points, it should be a stim
ulant there on Monday, especially
as they improved 1 64 today, al
though this market declined a net
yesterday of six points. Port re
ceipts on Monday last year were 9,-
600, which we BhaJl not equal.
Amount coming into sight for week
ending Friday next last year was
63 000 and this we shall most likely
not exceed and perhaps fall under.
The Bland bill will be before
Mr. Cleveland on Monday or
Tuesday, and should be veto it,
which is generally anticipated, it
would give ail markets a better
tone. In years previous to this the
English spinner Uas carried a very
considerable amount of cotton in
the way of stocks, but owing to the
difficulty of finaneering, he now
takes his cotton as his needs re
quire, and thus a great deal of cot
ton that goes to Liverpool remains
in the visible supply at that point,
whereas in former years much of it
was invisible, owing to the facts
above mentioned. It therefore makes
the comparison of visible supply
now of American with former years
decidedly to the disadvantage of
the present season, because were
spinners carrying, relatively, in the
way of surplus stocks what they
formerly carried, we would have at
least 200,000 bales less of visible
stocks in that market, thus making
the statistical position stronger than
it is now and has been throughout
the season. The New York Chron
icle makes stocks at 31 leading
points in the South last night, ac
cording to their visible weekly re
port, 109,000 bales lesiß than last
night.

A Mid-Winter Visit to tke Sunny
South
Editorial Correspondence in the New
York Polyclinic
• Last month the writer was one of
a party of medical scribes who en
joyed a ten day’s trip through North
Carolina, South Carolina and a por
tion of Georgia. The object of th3
trip was to study the climate, the
sanitary advantages and the busi
ness opportunities of the country
through which we traveled. Our
only apology for recording in the
medical press oar impressions of
the business outlook there ia the
fact that all sick people are not
financially able to devote them
selves entirely to health-seeking,
pnd the physician ib often called on
to prescribe not only a place or lo
cality suited to bis physical con
dition, but also to suggest an occu
pation that will enable his patient
to earn a livelihood in the now home
that he may elect
The sections of North Carolina
most desirable for tbofio seeking a
mild or equable climate are within
a day’s, journey by rail, of New York
city. A little more time is consumed
when the trip is made by rail and
water. We left New York by the
Oid Dominion S S. Line at 3 o’clock
in the afternoon of February the
13tb, and reached Norfolk. Va,
after a most delightful sail, at the
Barne hour on the following day. A
nine hours’ ride over a division of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway
system carried us to Henderson, N
O , our fi.'Bt stopping place, where
we were most b* ipitably received
and entertained by the local physi
cians. Henderson is a compara
tively new town, of about 10,000 in
habitants, situated in the famous
Piedmont region near the northern
boundry of the The soil is
sandy and splendidly adapted to
oottoa and tobacco— of the latter
about ton millions of pounds
are sell and shipped from
Henderson yearly, the cigarette
trust taking about one-half of
this amount. The growth of Hen
derson has stimulated the indus
trial aci.v ty of ail the country
thereabouts. Apples, peaches, pears,
strawoerries and grapes flourish
there and are raised in large quan
tities for foreign shipment. Tnous
anda of gallons of most excellent
wine are made in the neighborhood
yearly. The climate is delightful
the year round and many invalids
from the North and East spend their
winters there The water is pure
and iithia springe are numerous.
From Headerwon we traveled
southward through the middle of
the State, to Southern Pines, a most
popular health resort situated in
the centre of the renowned long
leaf pine belt, famous alike for its
elevation, its health giving balsamic
od rs and its absolute freedom from
malaria This is undoubtedly one
of the most desirable resorts in all
the South for persous suffering from
lung, throat or uatlarial troubles
Its average annual mean tempera
ture is 58 degrees; average summer
temperature, 77 degrees; average
winter temperature, 45 degrees,
while its geographical elevation is
more than 600 feet above the sea
ievtl. Its nearness to the gulf
stream accounts in a measure for
its mild winter temperature. The
soil is sandy, reaching an average
depth of forty feet, hence the heav
iest rainlfi.ll is so quickly absorbed
that there is absolutely no moisture
in the atmosphere. The town is
surrounded oy great forests of long*
leaf pine; the water there is spark
ling and pure; the hotels are first
clb*i m the matter of aocommoda
tions, and reasonable in their
charges; there are ample railroad,
telegraph and mail facilities; while
the neighboring forests and streams
are full of game and fish. Peaches,
apples, pears, grapes, melons and
otner fruits flourish in this section
In addition to the many excellent
notels already open to visitors at
Southern Pines, another hotel of
gome 400 rooms is in course of con
struction and will be ready for the
reception of guests before the end
of tniß year. The citizens of the
town, the majority of whom are
frem the Eastern .States (and many
of wnom are convalescents), are
hospitable, intelligent and lull of
enthusiasm, and this fact, coupled
with the many natural advantages
of the place, guarantees for South
ern Pines a bright future.
From Southern Pines we trav
eled almost due west to Char
lotte, a thriving, busy city of
about 15,000 population, where we
were Bhown maty courtesies and
handeomely entertained by the local
profession, Chamber of Commerce
and citizens generally. We were
conducted through a large cotton
seed oil mill, where all the process!
of extracting the oil from the seed!
and of disposing of the residual!
matter were carefully explained to*
us. We were also shown seme large
cotton millr* wood working plants,
the United States Assay builoiug
and many other interesting features
of a progressive city. Charlotte is
surrounded by a rich agricultural
country, has a good climate and
possesses many attractive features
for the tourist as well as the home
seeker. From Charlotte we traveled
through the northern po-tion cf
South Carolina to Athens, Ga.,
where we received a warm welcome
and spent about three hours very
pleasantly.
On our return trip we re entered
North Carolina at Monroe and trav
eled through the Southern portion
of the State to Wilmington, a city
of about 30,000 people, situated
on the east side of the Cape Fear
river, thirty miles from the sea. The
river here affords a deep, safe and
commodious harbor for large ocean
vessels from ail parts of the world.
From Wilmington we went to
Raleigh, the Capital of tbe State,
and the last place at which we made
a stop. There, as elsewhere, we
were received with open arms and
warm hearts and given the best of
everything obtainable. Raleigh has
never contracted the contagion of
too rapid development, bat Bhe haa
always ei j lyed and rs still ei j lying
a steady, healthful and solid growth,
and bids fair to become one of tl e
largest and most prosperous inland
cities of the South. Her climate
and sanitary surroundim-s are ex
cellent, while her geographical po
sition and railway connections give
her undisputed commercial control
over a large and rich territory,
OCR •OCCLUSIONS.
A glance at a map of North Caro
lina will show our readers that in
our itinerary we traversed almost
every section of the Btate, and it
only remains for us to sum up our
conclusions. The State, considered
as a whole, undoubtedly possesses
a greater variety of soil and climate
than any of her sister States, and
within her borders may be found
climate and conditions to fulfill all
the requirements of the r.ilioted
who deuire and require a change of
resideneee. In the matter of to
pography, the surface slopes grad
ually from mountains nearly 7,000
feet high on he west, to the At
lantic ooean on the east, a distance
of 500 miles. Every mile of this
great area is drained by unfailing
rivers that find their way to the
Atlantic, while the warm winds
from the Gulf Stream eqial
iz3 the temperature of almost the
entire State. Her great viriety of
industries affords orofi'.able employ
ment for all peopie of all classes
who seek homes within her borders.
Volumes mipht be written on her
forests and d ,ra alone. More than
three-fourths of the crude drugs
used in the pharmaceutical labora
tories of the United States are ob
tained here Iu certain localities
in the western part of the State,
even the opium yielding poppy,
grows without attention or cultiva
tion. It is also the natural habitat
of a greater variety of wine produc
iugjgrapes than France or Germany,
while every variety of edible fruit
aad sweet scented or ornamental
flower, peculiar to a temperate or
semi-tropioal climate, Smashes un
der her balmy skies. That such a
climate ie a haven of rest and secu
rity for those who suffer from, or
are threatened with throat or latg
disease, Vd intelligent phyrioians
will readily admit
Almost every kind and quality of
mineral water known to the balne-
OiOgist are found iu the spriuga of
this Statu
In conclusion we must not forget
to acknowledge our thanks to the
Seaboard Air L.no Railway people
for their m*uy, many kiudeessea,
their unlimited hospitality aud un
stinted liberality to us during our
Southern trip. We were their guests
‘from start to finish,” aud they left
nothing undone that could contrib
ute in any way to our pleasure and
comfort. Tneirs is o magnificent
railway system, embracing 934 miles
of main track, and we were on their
lines throughout our entire trip,
after leaving Norfolk, Va. They
permeate every section of North
Carolina and much of Virginia,
South Carolina and Georgia Their
roadbed and equipment are in the
best possible condition, their em
ployees are steady, efficient and
courteous, and the company is free
from debt. Being on the most
friendly terms with connecting
lines, their facilities for through
travel and business are unexcelled.
Travelers leaving New York on the
east, have choice of all-rail route
via Washington, or they may go via
the Oid Dominion Steamship line,
or via Baltimore and Bay Lie
steamers to Norfolk, and there take
fast trains to any point in the South.

A dispatch sent out from ladian
apolis, lad , on the 13>.a, and pub
lished in many of the papers of the
county eays:
“Jlay Whitley, of this city, was
corporal of the equad detailed to
burn Gen. Stonewull Jaokt-ou’s resi
dence at Lexingtori, Va., in June,
1864, and at the same rime detach

for tbo military institute aud Gov.

While the Jackson house was burn

himself to save some relic and he
ran into the library, which was then
in flames, and took out a family
Bible which had been presented to
Jackson by a sister. This relic he
preserved until recently when he
wrote to the editor of tnc Southern

Mrs. Jackson’s address, inelo ing a
wish to return the relio to her keep

, Sarsaparilla p
8. I’. Smitit, of Towanda, Pa.,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. lie writes:
“ For eight years, I was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipa
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges
tion, so tlmt my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, mv
weight was only 129 pounds; I now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be
fore and after using, yon would want
me for a traveling advertisement.
I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day.”
Ayer’s Sarsaparilia
Prepared by Dr. J.C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.

Whitely, who made the samo state
ments th.t I ren in th:a dispatch.
He went on to describe the burning
of the miJit ry institute, G v.
era mansion, and Gen Jackton’s
house. He said he «aw me, fend
described my behavior on tbe o< -
oasion, and said he got the B ble,
just au tlr’e dispatch nays.
“But Gen Jackson’s house in
Lazing on was not burned by the
Yankt-es, cr anybody else, for it is
standing there today. Ido not see
how lie eouid describe my behavior
on that occasion, because I was in
Njrih Carolina v-dth my father at
that identical time. The letter I re
ceived from Whitaly said he had ex
pressed the Bible to me eu the 13:b.
but it has not arrived yet, and I
hardly think it will coma. It is my
impression that the man is after
making a little cheip notoriety.
One thing I do know, and that :«
that La did not snatch tha bock
from the burning library ”

“I will »ny for Hood’s Sarsaparilla I believe
it to be the best medicine in the world. In the
winter of ’92 I had a bad case of the grip which
left my system in very bad shape. I tried every
thing I could find and got no relier. In the fall
of the same year I bought a bottle of Hood’s
iiwsaparilla. The first dose I took

foWhe better. When I began taking the first
bottle my weight was 127 pounds, the lightest
since manhood. By the time the second bottle

owe all this to Hood's Sarsaparilla and I gladly
reoommend it to all sufferers.” T. M. Fooa,
