The Dog
The proprietor of a Third Ave-
store owns a little black kit-
ten that cultivates a habit of
squatting on its haunches, like a
bear or a kangaroo, and then
sparring with its forepaws as if it
had taken lessons from a pugilist.
A gentleman took into the store
the other evening an enormous
dog, halt Newfoundland,
half collie, fat, good-natured and
intelligent. The tiny black kitten,
instead of bolting at once for
shelter, retreated a few paces, sat
erect on its hind logs, and
its in an attitude of defiance.
The contrast in size between the
two was intensely amusing. It
reminded one of Jack the Giant
Killer preparing to demolish a
giant.
Slowly and without a sign of
excitability the huge dog walked
as far as his chain would allow
him, and intently at the
kitten and its odd posture- Then,
as the comicality of the situation
him, he turned his head
and shoulders around to the spec-
and if an animal ever

did so, then and there.

pledges the redemption of

pie- To reconcile differences v
the details comprised within the

of the conference; but, as it
seems to me, its members will also

is no excuse for
or apprehending the feeling
or temper of the rank and file of
the Democracy. They are down-
cast under the assertion that their
party fails in ability to manage
the Government, and they are
apprehensive that efforts to bring
about tariff reform may fail; but
they are much more downcast
and apprehensive in their fear
that Democratic principles may
be surrendered.
these circumstances they
cannot do otherwise than look
with confidence to you and to
those who with you have
and sincerely championed
the cause of tariff reform within
Democratic lines and guided by
Democratic principles. This
confidence is vastly augmented
by the action under your leader
ship of the House of
upon the bill now pending.
true Democrat and
every sincere tariff reformer
knows that this bill, in its present
form and as it will submitted
to the conference, falls far short
of the consummation for which
we have long labored, for which
we have suffered defeat without
discouragement, which, in its
anticipation, gave us a rallying
cry in our day of triumph, and
which, in its promise of its ac-
is so interwoven
with Democratic pledges and
Democratic success, that our
abandonment of the cause or the
principles upon which it rests,
means party perfidy and party
dishonor.
One topic will be submitted to
the conference which embodies
Democratic principals so directly
that it cannot be compromised.
We have in our platforms and in
every way possible declared in
favor of the free importation of
raw materials. We have again
and again promised that this
should be accorded to our people
our manufacturers as soon
as the Democratic party was in-
vested with the power to deter-
mine the tariff policy of the
country. The party now has that
power. We are as certain to-day
as we have ever been of the great
benefit that would accrue to the
country from the inauguration of
this policy, and nothing has
curred to release us from our ob-
ligation to secure this advantage
to our people. It must be admit
that no tariff measure can ac-
cord with Democratic principles
and promises, or bear a genuine
Democratic badge, that does not
provide for free raw material-
Under these circumstances it may
well excite our wonder that Dem-
are willing to depart from
this, the most Democratic of all
tariff principles, and that the in-
consistent absurdity of such a
proposed departure should be
emphasized by the suggestion
that the wool of the farmer be
put on the free list, and the pro-
of tariff taxation be
ed around the iron ore and coal
of corporations and capitalists.
How can we face the people after
indulging in such outrageous dis-
and violations of
principle
is quite apparent that this
question of free raw material does
not admit of adjustment on any
rate of tariff taxation, great or
small, is alike violative of Demo-
principles and Democratic
good faith.
hope that you will not con-
sider it if I say some-
thing in relation to another sub-
which can hardly fail to be
troublesome to the conference.
I to the adjustment of tariff
taxation on sugar. Under our
party platform and in accordance
with our declared party purposes,
sugar is a legitimate and logical
article of revenue taxation.
fortunately, however, incidents
have accompanied certain stages
of the legislation which will be
submitted to the conference, that
have aroused, in connection with
this subject, a natural Democratic
animosity to tho methods and
manipulations of trusts and com-
I confess to sharing
in this yet it seems
to me we ought, if possibly, to
sufficiently tree ourselves from
prejudice to enable us coolly to
weigh the considerations which,
in formulating tariff legislation,
ought to guide our treatment of
sugar as a article. While
no tenderness should be enter-
for trusts, and while I am
decidedly opposed to granting
them, under the guise of. tariff
taxation, any opportunity to
further their peculiar methods,
I suggest that we ought not to be
driven away tho Democratic
principles policy which load
to the taxation of sugar, by the
fear, quite likely exaggerated,
that carrying out this principle
and policy we may indirectly and
inordinately, a
nation of sugar refining interests.
I know that in present conditions
this is a delicate subject and I
appreciate the depth and strength
of the f. which its treatment
has aroused. I do not believe
we should do evil that good may
come but it to me that
we should not forget that aim
is tho completion of a bill,
and that in taxing sugar for pro
per purposes and within reason
able bounds, whatever else may
be said of out action, are in
no danger of counter to
Democratic principles. With all
there is at stake, there must be
the treatment of this article some
ground upon which we are all
to stand, whore

to solve the problem, without de-

the conclusions of the con-
touching the numerous
items which will be considered,
the people are not afraid that
their interests will be neglected.
They know that the general re-
so far as these are concerned
will be to place home necessaries
and comforts easier within their
reach, and then insure better and
surer compensation to those who
toil.
all know that a tariff,
all the varied interest and
conditions of a country as vast as
ours, must of necessity be largely
the result of honorable adjust-
and honorable compromise.
J expect very few of as can say
when our measure is perfected
that all its features are entirely

how much I deprecated the i

of this kind, however, which
do not violate a fixed and
Democratic doctrine, we
are willing to defer to the
of a majority of our Demo-
brethren. I think there is
a agreement that this is
party duty. This is more
apparent when we realize that
the business of our country timid-
stands and watches for the re-
of to perfect tariff
legislation; that a quick and
return of prosperity waits
upon a wise adjustment and that
a confiding people still trust in
our hands their prosperity and
well being.
The Democracy of the land
pleads most earnestly for the
speedy completion of the tariff
legislation which their
have undertaken; but they
demand not less earnestly that no
stress of necessity shall tempt
those they trust to the abandon-
of Democratic principles.

Cornelia, tho year-old daughter
of Mr. R. M- Kennedy, who lives
Greenville, which occurred
Friday, July 20th, at Bridge-

Monday of last week in
good health, was taken with
scarlet soon after her arrival
and died as stated above. It is a
sad case and the sympathy of the
Reflector and the whole section
is extended to Mr. Kennedy. She
was buried on Saturday at
Bridgewater.
Mr. James E- Tucker, son of
William D- deceased, died
on last Saturday at o'clock after
haying been sick with typhoid
fever for the past three weeks.
Mr. Tucker was a promising
young man of only years old-
Ho seemed to have a fine pros-

but the angel of death came and
he passed from among us. He
was an active member of the
Odd Fellow Lodge at this place,
and was buried with the
of this order on Sunday
afternoon at the old family bury-
ground. Messrs. W- H.
and E- A. read
impressively the beautiful
ceremony. It is sad to chronicle
the death of one, as Mr- Tucker
just in the prime of life, and
highly respected by all who knew
him. The Reflector extends
sympathies to the bereaved ones.

Washington, D. C, July
He must be a queer sort of a
Democrat who can get any
faction out of the present tariff
situation. The report of a general ;
disagreement as the result of
nearly two weeks work on the
part of the House and Senate
conferences certainly does
encouraging, although some of
the gloom is lifted by tho
The Senate committee on
decided at its meeting
this week that although the Utah
bill first became a law Arizona
and New Mexico should be ad
mitt to the Union at the same
time, and directed that bills
ready by its
next meeting.
Representative Bland, of Mis-
proposes to put the newly-
found friendship for silver which
so many Republicans are pro
to the test, by getting his
bill for the coinage of
that while the disagreement , ,
is for reasons satisfactory to the from the House Coinage
committee, if lie can manage to
got a quorum of the
conferees reported to be general
it is in fact only some half
a dozen of the Senate amend-
sugar, coal and
iron ore, the House conferees
insisting that they should go on
the free list, as in the Wilson bill
and the Senate conferees that
they shall remain as passed by
the Senate- It is not clear at
this time what the outcome is to
be, but I cannot believe that the
Democrats in Congress will be
willing to carry the disagreement
to the extent allowing the
law to remain in force, as
is now being jubilantly predicted
by the Republicans. It would
better if the conferees after
attempt fail to reach an agree-
to call in some prominent
Democrats from the outside and
let them arbitrate. The Demo-
has promised the
country a tariff law and it will be
suicidal for the Democrats in
Congress to fail to keep that
promise.
Representative Texas,
was made happy this week when
the House, by a vote of to
passed his voluntary bank-
bill. He has maintained
ever since the Torrey bankruptcy
bill was defeated that a majority
of tho House favored a national
bankruptcy law, and that it was
only because the Torry bill put it
in the power of creditors to force
a man into bankruptcy when
considered himself solvent that it
was defeated. Tho vote Mr.
Bailey's bill, which makes a
judge of his own solvency,
that his judgment was
who are favorable to the bill to-
soon. Owing to the ab
of and the near-
of the close of the session
the chances are against Mr.
succeeding. Another
thing that adds to the chances
against him is that a considerable
number of members of the House,
many of them Democrats, are
strongly opposed to any further
of the silver question at
this time, and still more opposed
to tho taking of a record vote on
the Bland bill.

ACREAGE AND CONDITION OF
THE GROWING CROP.
Last week we published in
those pages letters from fifteen
wide awake correspondents of the
Southern Tobacco Journal, cover-
the most important tobacco
growing sections in the two
States. These letters care,
fully written by those who were
anxious to reflect the true con-
and the acreage of the new
tobacco crop and we know our
readers appreciated the
they conveyed.
A careful review of these letters
shows the following conclusion
In the eastern part of the State,
in what is now known as the
new bright the acreage
will be about the same as last
year. It has been the habit of
that section, however, to increase
its acreage and an aver-
age acreage this year means
really a facing off in tobacco
operations compared with other
yen--. We can safely look for an
average for
Rocky Mount, Louisburg and
Greenville, with conditions favor-
able for a very fine one.
Durham reports a off in
acreage of per cent, Warren-
ton per cent, Oxford per
cant, Burlington per cent and
In this, the golden
the recent rains have bad a
most helpful effect on the plants
and all of our correspondents
draw the conclusion that with
farther seasons the
crop will be an excellent on.
In this locality, taken Winston
as a center, the acreage has been
cut fully one-fourth. This
not a of choice with the
planters, however, but a matter
of necessity A worse spring for
starting a tobacco crop has rarely
been known, the dry and cool
weather being a constant menace
to The here looks
very fine and has taken a
did start, though f two weeks
The ground has been well
prepared and with anything like
seasons a good crop
is promised.
The trans-mountain section,
with as the a re-
acreage is also reported.
Plants suffered more severely
from late frosts and the has
a late owing to the very dry
weather which prevailed up to
late in June. This endangers
the crop from early fall cold and
the in the west is not
so promising as elsewhere in the
State.
In Virginia me two leading to
of Danville and
Lynchburg report a considerable
reduction, Danville's acreage be-
put at per cent of a crop
and Lynchburg's at per cent-
In the former section the
is reported good but in the
latter it is anything else than
promising.
The dark section a
responding reduction in acreage ;
Richmond falling off per cent
Farmville per cent. In
both these localities the
of the crops is not good
though late seasons can very
much improve it.
The letters of our correspond
show, in conclusion, that the
acreage for 1894 is very much re-
in both States, but the out-
look good, at this writing, for a
fine crop. And a good
is the only thing that will
bring the boys out of trouble

foreign market for American-
made goods-
Messrs. Thomas
Co., of Belfast, who are the pro-
of the enterprise, have
already a very large plant here.
Their new structure is to be of
brick and iron, and will cover
about three acres of ground on
York street, one of the principal
thoroughfares. The frontage will
be feet, the depth feet,
and the height feet, divided
into five stories. The firm owns
enough ground to increase the
frontage and depth to feet, if
required. It will be the largest
factory of sort in the Kingdom,
and the local press claim the
est in the world. The cost of the
building alone is estimated at
and when in fall work-
order it will employ in the
neighborhood of hands.
It occurs to me that with
energy and reasonable per-
severance the manufacturers of
tobacco in its several varieties
and grades in the United States
might largely increase their trade
in this section. There is very
little of the American made
article sold over the counters of
the retailers, although per
cent- of the leaf is grown i the
United States, principally Ken-
Virginia, the
and Missouri. The product of
the latter State is mostly used
for the manufacture of twist and
plug, or as it is called here,
tobacco. The goods made here
are mostly plug in its various
shapes, long cut smoking tobacco
is not and a
small quantity of cigarettes.
product is disposed of almost en-
in Great Britain and Ire-
land. Manufacturers here cannot
compete with continental count-
having a lesser rate of duty
or with France, where the Gov-
has control of the trade.
The duty on tobacco coming
into the is per
pound on leaf and per
pound on manufactured goods.
The are a large number of
in this country who smoke the
pipe. On the street, in the house,
or at work the pipe
is the constant companion of the
masses. I believe that at least
per cent, of the male
from eighteen of age
and upwards
pipes. A few smoke cigars, and
a large and increasing number
smoke cigarettes.
The cigarette habit is in its in-
fancy here, but it is rapidly
spreading. While the popularity
of the pipe is confined to no sec-
of the Kingdom, the people
of Ireland seem to be particularly
fond of it; therefore, the con-
of smoking tobacco is
enormous and the manufacturer
who can combine cheapness,
quality and flavor to the greatest
satisfaction of the smoking public
is assured of an excellent trade-
There are no official data upon
which to base figures, but as far
as I am able to learn not more
than per cent, of manufactured
smoking and chewing tobacco is
American.
The smoking tobacco largely
used in the cities is a quality
which retails at about seven to
eight cents per ounce, and about
ninety-six cents per pound. The
next better grade, which has a
good sale, sells from ten to twelve
cents per ounce, with a
discount in quantities.
In the country districts, a cheap
plug, or roll tobacco is the favor-
at about six cents per ounce.
The average profit of the retailers
of smoking tobacco is about
per cent.
The American-made cigarettes
are the favorite, and fully per
cent, of the consumption in this
district comes from the United
States. Of the remaining per
cent., Turkey and Egypt few
from get the bulk ; local
manufacturers get the remainder.
There is no distinction between
the Turkish and Egyptian brands.
It seems that the tobacco is all
raised in Turkey and the differ-
once is in the blending and
American cigarettes are sold at
an average of per while
the Turkish and brands
cost about The demand
for cigarettes, as already mention-
ed, is greatly on the increase, and
as the American brand is quite
popular, it behooves the
can trade to carefully watch and
protect its growing interests here.
One of the objects of the Messrs.
is to increase their fa-
for the manufacture of
cigarettes.

The great railroad is far
reaching in its effects. Even
here in Statesville it is felt to
some extent. Messrs. Wallace
Bros., who ship large quantities
of roots and herbs, to Chicago,
are unable to ship on account of
the strike, and Statesville mer-
chants who deal in Western flour
and meat find their supply run-
short. Meat has advanced

kinds can be obtained at that

frequently have delightfully fresh

acknowledge that even to a clergy-
man who has read the service over
hundreds of trembling couples, It is
rather startling to have the bride-
groom at the most solemn part take
out his Waterbury watch and begin
to wind it up in the most method-
way imaginable. But that is
just what happened here last week.
I was reading the formal charge to
the man and woman, and reading it
in a way that I considered most
and awe-inspiring. The
bridegroom, who was a big lumber-
fellow, followed me for a time
with considerable interest. Then
he suddenly took out his watch
began to wind it. I let him go on
for a few seconds and then I real-
that it was one of those watches
that might wind through all the rest
of the ceremony. So I stopped short
and looked severely at the man. He

way, but ho didn't comprehend at

Perhaps women do not read tho

that as it may, the writer had an

Sound Which
Musical Instruments Awaken.
Vibration. Called
Soar-o of to
the
Teeth.
A. A. Knudson, in an article on
peculiar sound effects, throws a cu-
light on a subject which has
often been a source of embarrass-
and mystification. Mr.
son has made a hobby of locating the
or sympathetic vibrations
originating with musical notes. The
owner of a piano has been known to
summon a luckless tuner in
the second or third time to fix a note
that would Insist on giving a jar-
ring sound every time it was struck,
and the tuner has been driven to the
verge of distraction by being foiled
in every attempt to secure a smooth,
pure tone. The source of the
has in all probability been some ob-
in the room which has been ex-
cited by tho particular note into
sympathetic response. Almost any
kind of substance may cause the
mischief. Mr. Knudson tells how a
jangle in his own piano once defied
his wife, his tuner and himself, until
at last he located it in a glass globe,
a section of which had been cracked.
In another case a piano with a rebel-
note was made harmonious by
simply opening an inside shutter of
a bay window at the opposite side of
the parlor. The latch of one shut-
was lightly resting against the
edge of another and caused the vi-
when one particular note
was struck. Mr. Knudson says ho
is always on the lookout for these
peculiar sounds, and hears them
constantly in concert rooms and
churches. lie formed quite an at-
for one of these sound
in a church which lie used to at-
tend. The responsive note was high
up in one of the windows and he
looked for to respond every Sun-
day when the organist touched tho
proper key with every whit as much
interest as the congregation brought
to bear on their readings of the
service. Another time he noticed
that a remarkably discordant sound
came from the lips of an elderly lady
who was earnestly singing in front
of him. It was not so much tho
shrill quality of the Voice as a
ruggedness that attracted his at-
Eventually he found that
the voice and the jangle came from
the same place, and the explanation
of the discordance was that tho
lady's false teeth were loose. Tho
locating of these jangles is not
ways easy. Some practice is re-
quired before the ear becomes cap-
able of indicating the direction of
sounds of this kind with oven a mod-
degree of success. In a
test, which was given before an
audience to illustrate how difficult
it is to determine whence a sound
comes, a gentleman took his seat
upon the platform and was blind-
folded. A person who held a snap-
per sounder In one hand would pro-
duce the snap now directly over tho
head of the sitter, now to one side,
behind his back, etc. At each sound
of the snapper the sitter was re-
quested to point in the direction
from which the sound proceeded,
and in almost every case he pointed
in the wrong direction. In this
of telling the direction of sound,
man is at a disadvantage with long-
eared animals, and Mr. Knudson
speaks of the admirable way in
which the sense of hearing
serves him in this respect. is
pretty well known that the
does not wait to turn his head to
see if he has correctly located the
sound, but will let his heels By first
and look around afterward. The
rabbit, by reason of his long cars In
proportion to his size, has probably
the most correct sense of locating

This huge cask has a capacity of

some of those fads are curious

who believes

and taste better. He says if
he a rich man he would
smoke a cigar after the ashes
have fallen from it.
I attempted to persuade him
that a cigar that retained the ash
was possibly better because by
this it showed that it was more
evenly and closely rolled and
properly seasoned, but the knock-
of the ash from such a cigar
would not injure the flavor or the
smoking quality- But he would
not be convinced. He
tell the difference immediately.
And so he goes about carefully
