.The south offers the most inviting

of a country.
It is a remarkable condition of af

this country at the present. The
South, the most liberally endowed

Raleigh. N. C, June .10—Local

the cities and towns of Raleigh, Golds
boro, Mt. ‘O.ive, Fremont, Newton
Grove, Hendersonville, - Durham
Wayneville and Washington and for
all Cleveland county. Interest cen

Durham. At both places the prohi

hundred and ninety-eight majority,
and at Durham by seventy-five Golds
boro gave the anti-prohibition ticket
a hundred and seventy-nine' majority.
The prohibitionists have received quite
a reverse in this election and appear
to have lost ground at many points.
Charlotte, N. C.. June 10.—Re

towns are given below: Durham,
which has been dry for the past three
years, went wet by a majority of sev

quiet, but both sides worked very hard
Monroe, which has been dry also, for
some years, has gone wet by one hun

county ot Cleveland voted on the
question, and although no official re
turns are yet in, the indications are
that the county remains wet. Shelby,

gives twenty-five majority for the wet
side.

The State of Cotton.
Washington, June 10.—The June
report of the Department of Agricul

slight reduction in the area ol cotton
on the Atlantic coast, and an increase
west «l the state of Alabama. Nearly
four-fifths of the proposed breadth
had been planted by the first of May,
but germination was slow on account
of the cold and generally dry weather.
Replanting of the defective stands is
general, and some fields were plowed
up and planted in corn.

porter. Major Barues said:
“1 do not think there will be an ex

sec any necessity for one. There is
always this talk about an extra ses
sion. It amounts to nothing. Aud
then, I think the President, who is
known to be a bitter partisan, will not
call an extra session until the elections
in the four new States are heard from
and the Representatives and Senators
selected ean get to Washington. The
Republicans will hardly organize
Congress until they get all their forces
on the ground. _ I don’t think there’ll
be an extra session.”
A correspondent ol the Charleston
News and Courier says: “Not for the
world would it do »o say anything about
it, but, under the rose, Savannah has
some poker players among the fair

of the world until he wishes he had
never heard of a jack pot or a straight.
A dollar and a half is their limit, and
it they lose they pay like men. II they

not object to being * squeezed,” even
at a dollar and a half limit. If a good

to Louvale, {Stewart county. The line
will be extended from Abbeville ea*t
to Savannah, aud from Louvale west

that there is any doubt of these ex

has perfected financial arrangements
with the Baltimore Mercantile Trust
Company, by which bonds to the
amount of S4,100,000 will be issued
and sold# The mortgages which ena
bles the issuance of these bonds has
already been recorded. The bonds
hear interest at the rate of 0 per cent,
payable semi-annually. Interest ou
the bonds commences July 1.
These new bonds will take up the
bonds of the old Americus, Preston

8600,000.
The mortgages provides that the
entire line flora Savannah to Mont-

be bonded for 812.000.

Gen. George Sheridan was an ar
dent Harrison man before the elec
tion, and he made a number of spee
ches for our blue-blooded aud cold
blooded President. It is doubtlul if
he would take the stump for him
again. He said the other day:
“Harrison is indifferent to public
opiniou. 1 believe he made use of
the expression that he was going to
please himself, for it is just like him.
It is characteristic of the man. He
believes that when the Supreme Pow
er undertook the making of the uni
verse, at that time it was conjointly
settled with the creation of the world
that in the year 1881) there should be
such a person as Ben Harrison on
earth and that he should be President
of the United J tales. Harrison isn’t
thankful for anything or to anybody.
Possibly he may congratulate the
Lord on having earned out his part of
the contract to make Harrison Presi
dent, but its doubtful. Ii he isn’t
renominated he will simply say:
‘Well, it is the country’s misfortune.’
This has a genuine ring about it.

There is an astounding statement

‘ ‘ The hull* of the cotton seed of the c,

And yet it appears to be true.
Atlanta firm fattened 5.300 beeves last
\ear on cotton seed hulls at a profit of
$20,000. Two tram loads of these
beeves were shipped from Atlanta to
Philadelphia and sold there in coinpe
tition with Chicago beef. This same
firm will fatten 10,000 steers next
ter.
Mr. Joel Chfindler Harris, * an
thority on fox hounds, bees and Jerseys,
is feeding his herd on cotton seed hulls,
and says the result in milk, butter and
beef is amazing. In the Southern
Firm Mr. W. M. Towers, of Rome
writes ot a test between corn, cotton
seed meal and cotton seed hulls,
which the latter produced vastly better
results.
And vet until a year ago cotton seed
bulls were used as fuel for engines or

and concluded that it might be taken

were large planters and owned the
^Hurricanes*' estate, consisting of
three great cotton plantations at the
extreme lower end of Warren county,
Mies., trad about eighteen or twenty
miles below Vicksburg. There were
between 12,000 and 15,000 acres of
the finest land on the Mississippi riv
er in these plantations and 750 slaves.
All the letters respecting the busi
ness of these places for thirty years
were written by Ben Montgomery.
He frequently went to New Orleans
on business for the Davises and car
ried with him once 890.000 in money.
He traveled with Mr. Davis all over
the north, and coaid have run away
fifty times had he wished. But he
remained faithful and loyal to the
last. The Davises were noted for
their kindness to their slaves. They
had finer “auarters” ou their planta
tions, probably, than any planters in
the south, excepting the Hampton’s.
They kept a physician always on the
places, and in every way cared for
their “colored people,” as slaves were
frequently called. When Mr. Jeffer
son Davis and his brother Joseph left
their homes, one as the president of
the Southern Confederacy and the
other as a brigadier general, they put
everything under Ben Montgomery’s
charge. He made the crops of 1861-
62 and 1862-63, about 3,060 baleii of
cotton, and shipped it to New Or
leans f nd sold it to foreign buyers for
gold. This money he carefully sent
to Mr. Davis. Iu 1863, when the
slaves were emancipated, Mr. Davis
sold the “Hurricanes” to Ben Mont
gomery for 8300,000 in gold, ll
has been said that this sale was only a
ruse to save tlicsc splendid estates
from confiscation. Whether this was
true or not, when the Federal “agents
for the protection of abandoned prop
erty and lauds” came to take posses
sion of the Hurricanes they found
Ben Montgomery with a title
strong and valid that it could not lie
upset, and they left him alone
