The net profit on every bale of cotton
manufactured in the South is $7 per

The presidential electors will meet

Saturday night Lieutenant Governor-
elect Itobinson, while visiting the

wounded. The watch claims that the
shooting was accidental, bnt his story
is not believed.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun calls
tlie attention of parents and policemen
to a very dangerous toy pistol that is
being sold in that city. It is made of
cast iron, is breach-loading and only
sells for 25 cents, and if it is bnt half

urchin will have one during the holli-
days, and it is going to do some serious
mischief, as 6ure as gun.
The report of the commissioner of

Pennsylvania has a law, old and al
most forgotten, providing that stake
holders of elected bets can be proceeded
against by poor boards for the amount

Scranton has served notices on several
prominent citizens, restraining them
from paying out any money deposited
in their hands by betters. The pro

Th* Negroes in Kansas.
The Savannah Xews says the bitter
fruits of the exodus have not all bean
iped. Terrible as were the sufferings
of the negroes in Kansas, Indiana, and
other Northern States last winter, there
sad prospect of greater privation
before these wretched victims of politi
cal tricksters.
An agent, sent'East by Governor St.
John, of Kansas, to solicit relief for
these unfortunates, stated before a meet
ing in New York the other day that
'the condition of the colored people in
Kansas this winter wiil be even worse
than it was in 1879, when men, women
and children died of starvation, and
whole families slept in the open air.
There are now fifty thousand negroes
Kansas—five times as many as last
year.”
Similar reports come from other
sources in Kansas, and the blacks
Indiana are not more happily situated.
Only a small proportion of these
grants are able to earn a living. Many
of them are too old, too young, or too
feeble to work. They have been im
posed upon by false representations,
and have left comfortable homes to find
only cold, hunger and general wretched-
i, among a people who have
for them except on election day, and
who do not want their women and
children at any time.
What Constitutes a Dealer- Instruc
tions from Judge Erskine.
The following from the Savannah
Xetct will be of interest to many of our
local readers:
Yesterday morning, in his charge to
the Grand Jury in the United States
Court, His Honor Judge John Erskine
stated substantially that the rule of the
court is that to make a person a dealer
in liquor or tobacco, it must be shown
that he sold a glass of liquor or a piece
of tobacco, moie than once. In other
words, that the selling of one glass of
liquor or a single plug of tobacco, does
not make a man out carrying on the
business of a retail dealer in either of
these articles unless he does so repeat
edly. The information was given with
a view to prevent the finding of indict
ments against parties who may be arrest
ed on the most trivial charges, often
times based upon the simple selling of
a glass of liquor or a piece of tobacco
Col. J. H. Estill, A. D. C.
The Atlanta Post-Appeal says
“We doubt if there is a person in Geor
gia who will not endorse the appoint
ment of Capt. J. H. Estill, of the Sa
vannah Morning News, as Aid-de-
camp to the Governor with the rank of
Colonel. For nearly ten j ears Colonel
Estill has been President of the Geor
gia Press Association, and this year is
also President of the Southern Press
Association. From the position of rol
ler boy in a printing office he has riser
to the proprietorship of the largest and
most snccessfnl newspaper in the South.
In him the country press has always
had a firm friend, and one whom they
have never failed to honor when oppor
tunity offered. His appointment to the
Governor’s staff, however,
newspaper courtesy, bnt an acknowl
edgment of his eminent fitness for the
place. During the war Col. Estill was
gallant Confederate soldier, and after
the surrender was commander of the
Johnston Light Infantry, of Savannah.
He will make an excellent staff officer,

IMPORTANT NOTICE I:
WIfiDIie IP BUSINESS!
; FROM AND AFTER THIS DAY,
24th of lovember,
After several years of depression, th«
business men of this country msy rejoice
at their present comparatively excellent
financial condition. This far the failures
of tl»e present year amount to only $45,-
000,000. During the same period last
year they reached $81,000,000, and the
year before they aggregated the disas
trous figure of $187,000,000. Present
appearances indicate that when the
ord is made up for 1880 complete, the
failures will be found to be relatively
smaller than at any time for the last
fifteen years.
The government disposed ef nearly
three times as many acres in the last
fiscal year as in the previous year; but
out of nearly fifteen million acres it got
cash for only eight hundred and fifty
thousand acres. The homestead and
timber culture entires took up most o s
the balance. The railroads gobbled up
something over a million acres. The
revenue of the year on account of the
s ale of lands was $2,290,164. Even
this sum divided among the States for
school purposes, on the basis of illiter
acy, would prove a great blessing to
many a child.
The European powers are groaning
again under the terrible harden of their
great standing armies and the rumor is
revived that a movement is on foot
looking to a general disarmament. Ger
many is especially anxious to get rid
of the burden, and Bismarck is said to
be determined to do so, even if he has
to compel his neighbors to join him
disarming. It is not probable that be
will have to do that, for his neighbors
are almost as much hardened as him-
aelfandare more than willing to get
rid of the burden, the weight of which
taay be imagined from the fact that the
fiva great continental nations are sup
porting over two and a half millions of
troops in barracks in time of peace, end
are keeping five millions more in condi
tion for immediate use in cam of war.
The gnlf stream does not come from
the gulf. Daring a discussion in the
National Academy, of Science in New
York Friday the interesting fact was
developed that the gulf stream, so call
ed, does not come from the gnlf, as is
represented in the physical geographies
but is an equitorial current which
comes through the Caribbean sea from
the African coast, is turned northeast
upon striking the coast of Yucatan,
passes throngh the Straits of Yucatan
and Florida, and ont into the Atlantic
without really entering the Gulf of
Mexico at all. The currents in
Gnlf are not connected with this great
stream, and are very slow.
We want to endorse the following
from the Griffin Xews:
Colonel Emmett Wommack, of Cov
ington, our new solicitor general, is a
lawyer of fine talent, and a gentleman
of most excellent character. He is
thoroughly educated, both in literature
and law, and has made quite a reputa
tion at the bar. Mr. Wommack will be
able to carry the side of the State
against any opposion that msy be
brought against him and will give per
fect satisfaction to the circuit. His
honesty and integrity of purpose
clearly marked in all his acts. Such
officer needs but to be known to be ap
preciated.
Rochester Herald: A. H. Stephens
has arrived in Washington. We be
lieve he still weighs, physically,
where in the vicinity of 98 pounds,
though intellectually and politically he
weighs several tons. As a light weight

Virginia, is a diminutive person, with
what the ladies would cal! a love of
foot, but a big head and a very activ
brain. Mahone is by no means an it
valid. In the matter of health he has
the advantages of the Georgia Repre
sentative.
Mr. Vanderbilt most emphatically
denies that he is in any way interested
in a scheme to take possession ol the
Northern Pacific and other railroad
routes against the formidable monopo
ly of Jay Gould’s consolidation. As
the scheme would require about $75,-
000,000, Mr. Vanderbilt prelers to in
vest his money in United States four
per cents, where there is absolute
tainty of a reasonable amount of gain.

Georgia and North Carolina.—Fra-
At the Georgia Baptist convention
that assembled in Savannah last April,
Mr. W. G. Whidby was appointed as
a messenger to attend the session of the
Noith Carolina Baptist convention,
convening in Goldsboro on the 17th of
this month. Finding it impossible, by
reason of sickness in his family to go,
he sent on Friday the following tele-
Atlanta, Ga., November IS, 1880.
—To the state Baptist convention in
session, Goldsboro, N. C.—Dear Breth
ren: Sickness in my family prevents
ray attending yonr body as messenger
from the Georgia Baptist convention as
I had hoped. We hope to have some
of yon to visit ns at our own convention
in Athens next April, and guarantee
you Christian welcome.
“For though I be absent in the flesh,
yet I am with yon in the spirit, joying
and beholding yoqr order and the stead
fastness of yonr faith in Christ.”
“And I myself also am persuaded of
you my brethren, that ye also are full
of goodness, filled with all knowledge,
also to admonish one another.”
“Now the Goc of Peace that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesns,
that great shepherd of the sheep
throngh the blood of the everlasting
covenant; make yon perfect in every
good work, to do His will, working
that in yon which is well-pleasing in
His sight, throqgh Jesns Christ, to
whom be glory foi ever and ever.—
Amen,” W. G. Whidby.
The following waa received yesterday:
Goldsbobo, N. C„ November 20,
1880.—Yonr telegram received and
delegates have been appointed. “All
that are with me salnte thee. Greet
them that love ns in the faith. Grace
be with yon all. Amen.”
N. B. Cobb,
President North Carolina Baptist state
convention.
