SOUTHERN BRIEFS DAILY OCCURRENCES IN THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND Curtailed into Interesting and Newsy Paragraphs. Herman A. Haslock has been appointed surveyor of customs for the port of Nash vide, Tenn. Both branches of the North Cnrolina legislature have now adopted a resolu tion to adjourn March 9th. The census bureau announces the pop ulation of Kentucky by races as follows: Whites, 1,585,526; colored, 272,981; In dians, 93; Chinese, 29; Japanese, 1; total, 1,888,635. On Saturday the cable of an incline, road, at the coal mines at Whitwell, Tenn., broke and the car dashed down the mountain. Two men were killed in stantly and eleven seriously hurt. Gen. P. B. Chilton has decided to ac cept the proposition made bj the city < f Raleigh, and will locate at that point the headquarters of the S u hern Immigra tion Bureau and Interstate Exposition. Tt '» r< ported that the family of the late Rev. C. K. Marshall, of Vicksburg, Miss., has decided to present the library of the deceased to Millsaps College. It is said to be or.e of the most valuable col lections of books and papers in the South. A donation of $15,000 by the citizens of Cordele, G>., offered to the thirteen south Georgia Baptist assi cintions, has induced them to decide on that place for the location of the Baptist college. This college will be built at once, at a cost of about $25,003. The sales of leaf tobacco in the Dan ville, Va., mark; t for February were 5,- 479,977 pounds, being the largest sn'es ever made in a single mouth in that mar ket. Bales for the first five months of the tobacco year were 17,027,987 pounds, as against 13,833,157 pounds for the same period la-t year. The National tobacco works, at I ou:s ville, belonging to I’fingst, Dierhclfer & Co., and incorporated at $400,000, has been sold toa cigarette syndicate in which Kinney Bros, and Allen & Ginter are leaders. It is believed to be the begin ning of a great combination < f the tobacco manufacturing interests. An Air.ericus dispatch says: On Sat urday the electric and gas plants were sold to F. M. Gordon, of Baltimoie, who represented the bondholders of the con cern, for $l,lOO. The new owners take charge immediately. Everything will be put in Bhip-slmpe, and the plants will both be run on full time. The Mississippi legislature of 1890 re fused to submit a prohibition amendment to the people, and the recent constitu tional convention declined to insert a prohibition article. Therefore the pro hibitionists have organized a third party, and nre t liking of running candidates in future for every office. It is expected that the unveling of the Confederate monument at Jackson, Miss., on June 3d, will be a memorable event in the state’s history. The statue of Mr. Davis, which is so stand in the hollow base of the monument, is now being fin ished in Italy. Miss Winnie Davis, who created so much enthusiasm when the cornerstone was laid in 1888, will be present at the unveiling. A Raleigh dispatch says: There has been a long contest between several places for the location of the new colored agricultural and mechanical college. 'lhursday evening the committee decided to accept the proposition to locate the college at Louisburg, with a proviso that the proposition is bona fide. Louisburg offers $6,500 in cash, lauds stated to be worth SIO,OOO, and the necessary build iug». A Nashville dispatch says-? Governor Buchanan scut in his first veto Saturday, being on a bill returning to Henderson county all state taxes that may be collected during the next two years on that part of the Midland railroad lying in Henderson county. Ti e amount involved u only about |I,OOO. The county had voted bonds to aid the building of the railtoad, and was unable to meet the interest. Tho vtto message, when read, was vigorously applauded. k bill was passed in the North Caro lina legislature Saturday, incorporating the South Atlanta university. This in stitution will be located at Asheville. That place and Atlanta, Spartanburg and Augusta, have made proposals as re gards the location. The statement is now male that Asheville will give $150,- 000 to secure the location of this great Presbyterian university. A lady who died recently had bequeathed $150,000 to this institution.

The board of trustees at their last meeting virtual'y settled it that the location re ted between Jackson, Winona and Grenada. The board will meet at Winona on March 11th, when the matter will be finally settled. It will be remembered that R. W. Millsapps, a wealthy banker of Jackson, gave $50,000 to create an endowment fund for this college, conditioned that the church wou'd raise a like sum, which was promptly done, and now the college only has to be located, when it will soon be come a reality. FORTY INDICTMENTS Found Against Rioters at Cath rine, Alabama. Last December W. L. Bruce, republi can, formerly of Ohio, a nephew of Judge Bruce, of the United States court, was run out of Cathrine, Wilcox county, Alabama, where he was a prominent merchant, on account of political trouble. At the same time Bruce's store was burned, and he was assaulted. A negro postmaster was also intimidated, and made to leave. Governor Jones offered large rewards for the arrest of the guilty parties, and several who were arrested were released on preliminary hearings. The governor then had a special grand jury enipanneled, to investigate the case, and on Friday they reported forty in dictment*, many of which were against prominent citizens. The state will ask for a change of venue, so it is said. The Cathrine affair has been universally con demned. What They Knew. I The ancient Gauls used a reaping ma chine. Hobbs gave his nnme to a lock found in the tomb of Egypt. Coins were stamped with engraved dies so far back that we have lost the record, and movable tvpes are said to have been known to the Romans. In all that pertains to sculpture and painting the ancients knew so much that their superiority has never been ques tioned, and their work remains as unsur passed models. We make some very fine razors at the present day, but we cannot make any finer steel than that contained in the Damascus swords and knives which the ancients used scvetal thousand yeurs ago. In our schools at the present day we use “Euclid’s Elements of Geometry,” writ tn by Euclid 2,200 years ago. Eu clid also wrote on music and optics, an tedating much which we think we dis covered. Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes was utilize i in China centuries ago, and one of the Mongolian authors writes of boxes which repeated the sound of voices of men long since dead- an approxima tion to the phonograph of Edison. The people of Tyre were such experts in dyeing that the Tyrian purple remains unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians were also wonderful dyers, and could Eroduce colors so durable that they may e called imperishable. The ancients were wonderful glass workers, and discovered a method of making it malleable, which we have not been able to do. Ttiey could spin glass into garments, dye it in every shade of the rainbow and etch it with marvelous skill.

Some of the items that go to make up this princely sum are interesting. The amount estimated for the transportation of the mails is $29,711,000, divided as follows: Inland by rail routes, $22,550,000; star routes, $5,893,060; steamboat routes, $525,000, and for foreign mail service, $753,000. The salaries of all the postmasters of the United States equal $14,900,000, and that sum is given. The largest salary, SB,OOO, is awarded to the postmaster at New York, and the smallest, 29 cents, to a cross road official in the state of North Carolina.

It’s a large contract, but the smallest things in the world dd the business—Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They’re the smallest, but the most effective. They go to work in the right way. They cleanse and renovate the system thoroughly—but they do it mildly and gently.* You feel tho good they do—but you don’t feel them doing it. As a Liver Pl?,- they’re unequaled. Sugar-coated, easy to take, and put up in vials, and hermetically sealed, and thus always fresh and reliable. A per fect vest-pocket remedy, in small vials, and only one necessary for a laxative or three for a cathartic. They’re the cheapest pill you can buy, because they’re guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You only pay for the good you get. That’s the peculiar plan all Dr. Pierce’s medicines are 6old on, through druggists. CURE BUiousnesSy Sick Headache, Malaria. BILE BEANS.
