The Ways and Means Commit-
tee has been holding meetings
since the adjournment of Congress
and is reported making- good
headway on the Tariff bill to be
introduced at the regular session
in December. As usual almost
every industry is represented be-
fore the Committee, and each one
can readily admit that there may
be some reason for some change
in reference to every other pro
industry, but so far as their
own is concerned that ought to re
main as it is. Doubtless it would
be well to give all a passing no-
and save the and
consumers a few dollars on all
lines-
This question is by far more vi-
to us than the free coinage of
silver, or State banks, or many
other things that have been more
freely discussed than this in the
past few months. The way to
make us prosperous is to let us
keep more of the money we make
here at home and not have to send
it off to these protected industries-
Men become more independent by
saving a part of what they make-
Ton may double and even quad-
a man's gross income, and
he is no if he has to
and all he makes. We look for
good work on the Tariff from the
present and expect to
see and feel the relief which will
surely follow the proper revision
of all important matter. In
this lies the hope of the South.
You may revise the currency, but
unless you do something to
vent the money flowing to these
protected industries we will not
realize the desired relief- Give
us good, solid work on the Tariff,
and give it to us speedily.

But some of the very same papers,
while professing to place a

often taken in so easily that their
gullibility is almost astonishing.

Washington, D. C-, Nov,
The fool-killer ought to have
been in Washington this week-
He might have worked twenty-
four hours every day without
completing his job. Although
there is no cable to Hawaii and
no possible way that any news
have been received
there since that which reached
here by telegraph from San Fran-
on Monday, and that which
came to the State department
from Minister Willis has not been
made public, the town has been
full of stories giving details of
what had or had not been done
there- They are all
guesswork, and a majority of
them are but stupid guesses. No
one in Washington knows to a
certainty whether the provisional
government of Hawaii retired
in favor of the Queen who was
last January, by the action of
Minister in ordering a
force of U- S- marines ashore,
bulldozed into abdicating in favor
of said provisional, government,
although those who have seen
the communication of Minister
Stevens could doubtless make a
guess that would be very near to
the facts- A good many of those
who went off half cocked, as the
saying goes, when Secretary
Gresham's report recommending
that the wrong done by Minister
Stevens should be righted by the
present administration was made
public are now sorry they did not
do more thinking and less talking.
A man cannot be a good juror
who would decide upon his
as soon as the testimony of
one witness is heard- Only one
witness has been heard in this
Hawaiian business yet When all
the evidence which is in the
possession of the administration
shall have been made public, as
it all will be in due time, no Dem-
will have any reason to
blush for the verdict of the
pie, but some Republicans who
have been prominent may blush
for shame, if they have not for-
gotten how.
President Cleveland must feel
like asking himself sometimes
whether a man forfeits all the
rights he is supposed to have as a
citizen when he becomes
dent. When he does not advertise
hi intentions in the newspapers
he is accused of surrounding
himself with mystery. Because
the newspapers were not informed
beforehand that the family of
the President was to move this
week from their suburban
to the White House that
simple domestic event was herald-
ed to the country as and
mysterious change of plans on
the part of the President, and a
lot of fool-reasons given to account
for it. After seeing his family
settled in the White House the
President committed the heinous
crime of going to New York in
company with Secretary Lamont
to attend to some pressing private
business, without telling the news-
paper men about it As soon as
they found he was gone they
made the wires hot with stories
about his having gone to New
York for the purpose of having a
dangerous surgical operation per
formed, etc Now, could anything
have been more absurd I How
probable it seems that a man
having two comfortable homes in
Washington where he have
the constant attention of a loving
wife would prefer to go to New
York for a surgeon, if he had
need of one, instead of
the surgeon come to him at his
home- President Cleveland is
back at his desk and there is
the matter with him, except

Inscribed to Hen. Mrs.
of Pitt Co, N. C,
Caleb Lyon, Washington City.
Twas autumn time and o'er thee
a veil of ether blue
And rays of sunlight softly fell thy
press branches through,
thy fairy shore, grape,
vines an arbor made.
While starlings wake a music sweet
within their pleasant shade.
lies shone as milky pearls, upon
thy tide
Cathedrals, Wed with incense rare, la
which the fairies glide.
The its tendril, clung fa
starry flowers of gold-
And aged moss around thee as he
beards of old.
The loveliest isles man ever saw teen
floating on thy wave
Where mistletoe Is weeping o'er the In
maiden's grave
And deer laurel thickets bloom,
are bounding wild and fleet
Or wading la the limpid tide of
The solitary pine looms up amid
green
Where waters flow In
majesty serene
Where isles are crowned with
and honeysuckle
And mocking birds at eventide pour
forth a song
The eagle hovers o'er thy lakes,
homestead of the free
Where hounds and pealing
of Southern chivalry
Oft break the stillness of thy woods at
even and at morn
Where teats are held,
Saxon thoughts are born.
Sweet lake, no more mine eye shall rest
upon dreary shore;
on beauty could I gaze in glad-
evermore-
Long as stream shall flow, or
memory loves a romp
In dreams I'll visit thee again, Lakes of
the Dismal Swamp.
Away back, about the year 1847,
when the Hon. Henry S. Clark was rep-
re this district in the National
Congress, his wife spent the winter with
him in There was stop-
ping at the same hotel with Mr. and
Mrs. a poet by the name of Caleb
Lyon, with his wife, who had been
pointed as Consul to a foreign country,
and was awaiting his commission and
Instructions for sailing- Seeing much
et each other a friendship sprang up be-
tween the parties, and Mr. Lyon being
impressed with the charm and graceful
appearance of Mrs. Clark, one day asked
Mr. Clark where he found such a charm-
lovely woman f Mr. Clark said
I found her the Dismal
Swamp of North Then
some Inquiry as to the location
and character of the Dismal Swamp, Mr.
Lyon penned the above verses
them to Mr-. Clark. They were
published in one of the Washington pa-
and Mrs. Clark has a copy of them
in an album which she has kept since
her young days. A friend of hers who was
looking through the album, the other
found the verses and copied them,
sending them to the with
request to publish. Mrs. Clark is one
of the most esteemed ladles of our town
and while she is kept close at home be-
cause of feeble health she still possesses

The Second Mate Tells of a Great

It was the second mate of one of
the great lake propellers that spoke
as they were passing
and his words were to this
is a queer coast over
there, and don't you forget The
interlocutor, a passenger, promised
that he would not forget it,
the sailor man would tell him
why the coast was queer.
said the sailor man, but
without hitching
shifting his quid, or performing any
of the nautical gymnastics attributed
to his kind in the story books,
wasn't exactly queer, perhaps, but
it is a coast that shall remember
the longest day I live.
was about six years ago that I
was sailing on a lumber schooner,
and just when we were about where
we are now the captain discovered
that our yawl was adrift. We had
been towing it and somehow the
painter had parted or slipped, and
there the boat was, nearly a mile
away, drifting ashore as fast as the
water could carry it. There was
not a soul to be seen, and if there
had been it would not have been an
easy matter to get him to bring us
our yawl, and the captain did not
know what to do. Finally, as I saw
the old man was a good deal worked
up over it, I volunteered to swim
ashore and bring the yawl, if he
would run in as close as he could and
anchor until I came aboard.
captain accepted my pro-
very gladly, and as the water
was warm I thought I would have a
first-rate swim, little thinking
what was in store for me. So I
stripped and lowered myself into
the water. For a quarter of an
hour it was mere fun, but I soon
found I had bit off more than I
could chaw. The shore was further
off than I had figured, and I could
see a few ominous looking clouds
which indicated the wind was
rising, which make it hard
for to get to the schooner
after I got the boat. I kept on, how-
ever, getting more and more ex-
every moment. I tried
every way I knew to rest my tired
legs and arms. First I turned on
my back and swam in that
for awhile. Then I tried swim-
ming on my side, then
and then floating. But all the time
I was getting more and more worn
out. I tried to signal the schooner,
but my voice was so weak I could
not make them hear and they did
not understand, as I afterward
learned, my frantic motions. Be-
could not have helped

had swam about a mile and was

I kept up my motions as
well as I could, but I knew I was
doomed. The water began to sing
in my ears and my thoughts went

get the news. I wondered whether
my body would be found and get
Christian burial or be carried out

ceased to care for myself, but I
hoped somehow, for the sake of my
family, that I should be washed
ashore and that somebody would
have my body carried home.
don't know how long it took
me to think all this. Probably it
was not more than a minute, but it
seemed to be ages and all the time I
was feebly moving my arms and
and just keeping my head above

it would to reach the bot-

hands and feet as soon as I had
fairly stopped moving. I kept my
feet on it, and, straightening up,

to my waist. suppose I ought to

back to the schooner which was
waiting at anchor for me, and as I
went back I had the curiosity to

He preaches the Bible
plainly and forcibly, appealing to men's

one could listen to him without having

MOST AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Two Men Fight t
Over A 3.1 of Land and Die
Within Feet of Each
Other.
Tragedies are not unknown to Pitt
but perhaps the most terrible
ever occurring within her borders was
that which look place out in Swift Creek
township early last Wednesday morning.
The startling intelligence reached
Greenville between and o'clock
that J. H. Smith and Abner Slaughter,
living about eleven miles from town-
neighbors, well-to-do farmers, men of
families and both much esteemed
engaged in a personal
and both lay dead upon the scene
of altercation.
Coroner W. E. was notified,
a jury an i repaired to the
and began about
o'clock.
The cause of this bloody combat that
cost two good men their lives and held
another in prison for trial, made two
widows and five orphans, and
sorrow and trouble into oh, so
many homes of their large family con-
was the disputed ownership of
a little piece of woods
acres, or a little lay
to Slaughter's house. Both men
claimed it and had on different occasions
had some words about it. They lived
about a third of a mile apart
side sides of road. Slaughter went
upon the disputed land on Tuesday,
with two young men working for him,
and cut some rails to make a hog pen.
Wednesday morning they went back to
finish the work to cut up into wood
the and portions of the felled trees
not split into rails. It was at this time
the difficulty occurred
How the encounter took place, which
ended in the death of both men, was
told by the three witnesses examined
before the Coroner. They were G. F.
Smith, J. A. Hardy and G. F.
j the first named being a brother of J. H.
Smith, the last two being the young
men at work with Slaughter. G. F.
Smith in substance that he was
passing the road with his brother J. H.
Smith, and his brother remarked that
Slaughter was at work on his land and
asked him to walk over there with him.
He advised his brother not to go as it
might occasion a difficulty. Arriving
where Slaughter was at work some
Smith and
the latter about having forbidden each
other to work or enter upon the land.
Smith ordered the work stopped at once,
but Slaughter ordered his hands to go
their work and raised his own
to continue cutting on the tree.
Smith shot Slaughter immediately with
a pistol, Slaughter drew a pistol re-
turned the fire, and the two men clinch-
ed, discharging their pistols into each
other as fast as they could shoot. Wit-
said he went up to separate them,
when Slaughter s tipped the pistol at
him and he struck Slaughter on the head
with a rod of iron he was taking home
to mend from his mill. Seeing his
brother fall he left Slaughter and went
to his side.
The testimony of the other two wit-
was substantially the same as
Smith's as to the words about forbid-
ding other entering upon the laud
and as to the shooting, out both said
they did not sec Slaughter snap his pis-
at G. F. Smith, and that the latter
up to the combatants striking
Slaughter several blows with the iron,
showing no disposition to separate
them. Witness Ha said that after
J Smith G. F. and
over piece of iron
until Slaughter also fell.
Neither lived but a short while.
What a heart-rending spectacle that was,
two men lying dead within feet of
their lives sacrificed over so
small a matter.
Dr F. W. Brown made a post
examination of the Smith was

struck with three bullets and had two
cuts on the head from blows.

The Jury was com. -d of
W. L. Cobb. B. F. Sugg, G. E. Harris.
W. L Brown, S. T. Hooker and W. B.
James. They rendered a verdict as to

Oh, that men would take warning from
such and settle their
