Liveral Commission on subscerip- ion rates paid to agents. Monpay, January 4, 1897. RSE" Sainner and but.er. The Wash'ngton Star says ac- ‘cording to a prominent North Carolina Republican in the city the senatorial situation down there has deyeloped a new and unexpected phase. Representa-~ five Harry Skinner, Populist, has been in favor ot tha election ot “Senator Pritchard from the be- ginning in the event Pritchard would pledge himself te act with the silyer men on financial ques- tions. In case of Pritchard's re- ~ fasal Skinner has had an eye on the place himself, He is now -gaid to haye become uncondition- ally in favor of the election of Pritchard, and is doing all he can for his election. This posiiion, it is said, has led Skinner to diplo- matically notify Senator Butler that if he persisis in his opposi- tion to Pritchard he, Skinner, will oppose the re-election of Butler * four years from now and will be a candidate himself. If Butler will cease his fight on Pritchard Skin- oer will let Butler come back to the Senate without Populist op-- position. There may be some truth in this story, which will interest North Carolina politicians until the eleo tion is settled. If the populists vote for and re-elecs Pritchard this time it will no doubt be with an understanding that they are _ to have the senator four years from now. Not even Skinner would consent to the populist voting for Pritchard unless with a clear understanding on this point. If Skinner sticks to Pritchard and helps him to pull through the supposition is that Pritchard will back Skinner four years from now with republican aid, this jeoparding the chances of Senator Butler, who has array- ed himself strongly against the republicans this time, and who has incurred their ill will. An arrangement like this, it is said, would be almost a guarantee to Skinner that he could succeed Butler. | Skinner bas been the oniy pop- niist in North Carolina to defy the leadership of Butler, and for this reasom Butler mitrusts him, Zt is known that Butler would not - eonsent to the election of Skinner this time if he could help it . Tao situation altogether is said to be the knotliest that Senator Batler has tackled. If he loses : this time, with an understanding between Skinner and Pritchard, he will probably have lost his seat “in the Senate. If he succeeds in facts. ast ae a ay Weide fe ‘Aeat aes Pritchard, Jable to overcon publicanand populist combin tion which would haye for its ob- ject his slaughter.

We have had the turmoil and upheaval of an election and the hilarity and merry making of a Christmas tide and the next thing in order is to look forward to the work which will unfold it- self before us with the new year. The Press-Visitor, after the bick- erings of political strife and the jolity and mirth of the holiday seasons bespeaks its reeders a prosperous season of actual pros: perity and bids them set their faces towards compassing it. Les us fall to business industry with renewed zeal and energy. There is nothirg more healthy for the individual man or for the com- munity at large than for every one to push his business, and now that the diversions of the fall and midwinter bave passed into history let us put our shoulders to the wheel with a vim and let us make the thrill of reyiving commercial activity felt in our community and all around it. A Good Plattorm For 1897, The Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore, in its first issue of 1897, makes the following address to its “esteemed contemporaries in the South.” “Suppose we all unite for 1897 in a persistant effort to awaken public interest in material affairs, to encourage home enterprises, to giye special attention to all new undertakings, to discourage all political demagogism,to frown down every attempt to arouse hostility? to capital, to do all that is possible to make the South a safe and attractive place for the invest nent of'money, to untiring work to show’our people the im. portance of immigration and the equal importance of en couraging the immigrants who do come. This isa common platform on which the “gold bug,” the “silver bug,” the “straddle bug” and all other “bugs” except the humbug can unite to the everlasting ben- efit of the South, and thus of every individual who engages in the work.

There is hardly a country under the sun in which tobacco is not used and grown, and yet, itis onl’ within the past few years that an attempt has has been made to cultivate it for com- i mercial purposes in those of our States which were looked upcn as cutside of the tobacco belt. Now it is growa to State in the Union, and also grown to a greater or less extent in nearly every country in the world.
