Beauregard recently made public u statement which seems to settle the identity of the man who fired the shot that began the late war. The General says that last April ho noticed a short article, dated April 1892. in which it was stated that Major W. M. Gibbs, of South Carolina, claimed to have fired the first gun against Fort Sumter, on April 1801. The General As Major statement did not agree with my recollection of the event, I enclosed the article to Col. A. Chisholm, of Now York, who was one of the aides. I sent to Major Robert Anderson, com- the fort, to demand its surrender, asking him, CoL Chis- for his recollection of the received only lately his answer, which I submitted at once to Gen. S. D. Lee, who was also one of my aides on that and happens to be now in New Orleans. He confirms the statement of Col. Chisholm, which agrees with what he had written on the subject, first on Oct. 1882, and then on April 1892, to Col. Farrow, of South Carolina. As my remembrance of the report of those affairs of my staff agrees fully with their pres- statement, I publish the com- from Colonel Chis- which is approved, as I have by General Lee, and ought to settle the question of who fired the first gun, signal shell, on Fort Sumter on the 12th of April, 1801.

Thursday M. Holt sent his message to the General Assembly of North Carolina- The message is very complete through- out and is an paper, is of such length as to bar the full text of it from the Reflector columns, but we have borrowed a of it from the Charlotte Ob- server. Before going into the dis- of matters to which the attention of the law makers of the commonwealth is directed, Gov. Holt refers to the frequent of death into tho executive and judicial offices of the State, paid an excellent tribute to the memory and services of each who had been Ballad to his final reward. Following is the synopsis as given by the Tho message first touches upon the finances. Their condition is highly satisfactory. The in value of real and personal property in two years is and in assessment of railroad property In regard to 1.711 are on the roll and the past year were paid Of those are widows. Ho suggests legislation regard- building and loan associations. The suit in regard to special tax bonds and is referred to. The present banking system is referred to as being, with the tariff, one of the two great causes of the financial banks are warmly favored, the of such banks should be liberal and unencumbered so they loud the mercantile and farm- community money at not more than per cent. A revision of the statuary laws is recommended in accordance with the special suggestion of the General. A revision of the constitution is also desirable. A law creating degree murder is specially needed and the nor the Legislature to enact it. There is great need for the State laws, particularly and divorce, and ilia collection of commercial paper through banks. The work of the board of public charities is commended. The need of a Stale reform school for youthful criminals is strongly stated. There are now convicts years and under years old. The pressing need for enlarged accommodations for the insane at the Raleigh asylum is laid before the Assembly in a clear and the body is urged to make the desired appropriations. Tho need of better provisions for blind is stated. As to the school for deaf mutes at Morgan- ton, has thus far been ex- pended by the State; by the people of that town. It cost to complete the build- its appropriation is urged. There are deaf-mutts in the State- At the Oxford Orphan Asylum there are now pupils in excess of its accommodations.

Speaker still shows the effects of his recent severe attack of indigestion, but has been able to preside over the House daring the short and unimportant sessions held this week- As usual the at- for the first two or three days after the holiday recess has been small; and the sick list is large, but the work the appropriation bills, which after nil is the main business of this is being rapidly push- ed. In of the probable silver tight which may begin any day, Speaker Crisp was asked by a friend which side be would be on, was his quick reply. is my duty to impartially side over the House, and, whatever my personal may be, I shall endeavor to do Representative Scott, of Illinois, a resolution this week which is believed to contain a part of the true inwardness of the way in which Secretary Foster has starved off the actual deficit in Treasury during the last year. It starts out by stating that the Fifty first Congress provided for the construction or extension of public buildings, and that of them have not yet been contracted for; and calls on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to why so many of these public works have been so long delayed, and why more than for this purpose re- unexpended during the last two years. Mr. Scott asked unanimous consent of the House for the immediate consideration of the resolution but Representative of Maine, objected, and the resolution was referred. Senator friends are be- ginning to practice calling him Mr. Secretary, as the belief has become general that he has yielded to the pressure brought to bear upon him and agreed to accept the of Secretary of the Treasury in President Cleveland's cabinet, although he still declines to dis- cuss the matter. A report current early the that Elkins intended to issue orders that would have tho effect of prevent- the regular army making a re- showing in the Cleveland inauguration parade- A sub-com- from the Com- at waited upon the Secretary, and were assured by him, and also by Gen. Schofield, who was present at the interview, that he had no such intentions ; on the contrary, ho had made up his mind that the regular army should be more largely and better than at any previous in- since the war. The inaugural ball will held in the I office building. A man wont up like a rocket down a is Mr. Thomas H. who had hardly been heard of outside of his own State until he was made chairman of the Nation- Republican committee, and who, after tho election, dropped back into an obscurity still deeper than that from which he had been drag- to an ornamental figure- head was the original but prevented tho manipulation of the wires by the man who laid them, Carter became the actual head of the Mr. Carter was Washington this week trying to clear his late Secretary, ex-Con- of Maryland, of certain charges against his in- which have caused his nomination to Judge of tho C. Supremo Court to be hung up for several days in a com- controlled by his own party. Carter's head is several sizes small- than it was before tho election. It is now conceded, even by the most sanguine Republicans, that the of the Fifty third Con- will be controlled by the Democratic party, although sever- of the necessary votes will come from populists but. no matter where they come from, the votes will be there to reorganize the Sen- ate on a Democratic basis, and to pass any measure which the Dem- loaders may agree as desirable- That puts the last nail in the of the defunct Nation- Republican party ; gives the Democratic party a on the Government so long as it may be guided by wise counsels, to all of which every man who has tho future of our country and all of its citizens, not a few favor- ed individuals, can conscientiously say Representative has introduced a resolution providing for an investigation of the control of certain documents on file in the Department of State. This nearly concerns Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mass- who will soon be Sena- tor Dawes successor, charged that he and bis literary partner were through collusion with certain minor officials of the State Department able to prevent other literary men getting access to historical s on file the department until they had pub- copies of them as portions of certain historical books of which Mr. Lodge is reputed to be One of tho -rs. Senator Hill says that not more than seven votes will be the nomination of Murphy to Senator at the Democratic caucus of tho New York to be held next Tuesday night. BRANCHVILLE Ed.

Mr. Harriss seems to have had quite an experience in curing the services of a minister. After everything was ready and the invited guests had arrived, a telegram came from preacher Eubank announcing his inability to be present to perform the as it involved a drive through the snow of about miles. A messenger was soon speeding towards to sure, if possible, the services of Mr. Sawyer, the Methodist minis- Luckily, he was found home and not being engaged, de- to return with tho messenger.

We note with pleasure, Mr. Edi- tor, that tho Reflector and the press of the State are advocating the appointing of ex-Gov. J. Jarvis, of your town, to a place in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. This is right, for while we do not know Gov. Jarvis personally, we have watched his career through the newspapers and to us, a native North Carolinian, he stands for all that is pure and noble, and we would experience a thrill of pleasure hearing of his to this high office, where, we are confident, his and ability would reflect honor upon himself and the ad- ministration- would not err in tho appointment. The ladies of tho Methodist church gave an entertainment at the church last Friday night. Owing to tho inclement weather, there was not a very largo crowd present but quite a neat sum was realized. We cannot go into a lengthy description of it and com- are invidious, yet we must say tho duet sung by Mrs. Laura and Miss Rosa Bryant deserves special mention, and the showed their by requesting a which was given.

Just as the Reflector was getting to press last Tuesday evening a second snow set In before all trace of the mas visitation had disappeared. for we buyers this second snow melted as it came. It cleared off during the night clouded again Wednesday and repeated the same pro- gramme in the evening. Thursday even- it snowed again with better success and piled about inches on us. This stuck, and the freeze that followed right on its heels made it look like it had come to stay. Friday missed, but Saturday evening It snowed again and there was another light fall Sunday morning, as was needed. It may be added that the Sheriff did not have to cry during the morning session. The Jury was then sworn and his Honor occupied an hour a quarter in his charge. From beginning to end it was a lucid rehearsal of matters to which the attention of the Jury needed to be directed. It might well be termed not only an able charge to them, but also excellent educational address to the people upon such points of law as per- lo their duty to the State and to each other. He begun by saying men live together in a community they must be governed by law and He re- to the famous meeting at Halifax, when our forefathers had thrown off British yoke and sent delegates there to adopt a constitution for the government of our commonwealth, and said that from these our ideas of local government had been handed down; and the State was divided into comities to make the govern- more thoroughly of the people. Then after speaking the Jury upon the posit ion they occupied as of the county, and their duties all matters of presentation, lie referred briefly to many of the that are contrary to the laws of cur laud- He divided these under several head- against the State conspiracy lo overthrow the govern- failure to list taxes, failure of pub- officers to perform their duties, secret political societies, bribery and at elections, etc. Then against the public good, such as gross immoralities, unlawful assemblages, car- concealed weapons, indiscriminate sale of liquors, affrays, etc. against public any nuisance affecting the health and com- fort of others, selling any unwholesome food, putting any poisonous matter in veils or springs- Personal undue advantage of another, per- jury, slander, personal violence, murder, manslaughter, assault and battery, care- less handling of firearms, and while talk- on this he told the audience he every one present to listen at him closely. against property every man is sovereign in his sphere and humblest home is sacred in of the this he spoke of burglary, arson, injury to property and stock, larceny, etc. At the request of the Solicitor he also spoke of it being indictable for any to practice without license. The only gives the gen- outline of Judge charge without giving his strong and forcible presentation of each mentioned. He was listened to attentively, and at Its close many of those present had a much clearer conception of the points of law mentioned than before hearing the After calling the Jury and ad- ministering the oath to them, Court took a recess for dinner. The Jury for this week is composed of J. P. J. I. F. B. Knight, W. S. Rawls, Simon Short, J. W- Cannon, J. W. Gar- J. T. Smith, T. H. Blount, H. J. Burnett, W. G. Keel, C. F. Harris, Louis B. Elks.

Reported by Cobb Bros Va., Jan out- look for cotton is bard to define. steady falling off in receipts has confirm- ed the theory of short crop and already an advance of per pound has been established as compared with last season. The moderate trade doing in Great Britain and on the Continent is reflected in the large visible supply which is now bales despite the fact that the American crop is hales less to this time as compared with last year. In addition the large increase of India cotton which will be brought out by the material advance in prices is another feature which adds to the uncertainty of the situation again, the dread that enactment of the Hatch Anti-Option Hill will upset and injure the cotton trade of this country is doing much to depress values and restrict trade.

What he says about tobacco growing is worth keeping and the following letter gives his method in crisp and concise language. He will give you my experience on the cultivation and housing of Tobacco. I break my land at least twice, and then thoroughly with an Acme harrow. About eight days before I expect to Bet my plants I run my rows about three and a half feet apart, and drill from four to six hundred pounds of fertilizers per acre. If the land is poor stable ma- cotton seed or something to enrich the soil should be broadcast while breaking and harrowing. I make my ridges by throwing two heavy furrows together and throw- out the middle with a cotton plow with long in a row. When ready to transplant I dig off the top of the ridges with a An excellent plan for dry sons is to bed up the land with one horse turning plows and lay off rows between the beds and put the fertilizer and manure low in the ground and list as before described Should there be good season at planting time, cutting off and pat- ting hills will be unnecessary large plants are used. The patting of bills is done to cause the hill to retain moisture till the plants take root. WHAT T. M.

In new grounds all roots and rubbish must be gotten out of the Those who have not plowed up the land they expect to plant in Tobacco should do so without delay. On the Tobacco crop there is preparation remember, and do not put a plant in the ground until the soil is in proper condition- The cultivation is more economical and easy and the young plants grow off better.
