HoRR1D MURDER.--We see by the Mari.
on Banner, that foul murder was lat y
committed in Clark county, this State, by
one Christopher Davis on the person ofV. D..
McEroy. II appears that the parties met
at a horse race, and that Davis had loaned
McElroy, some time previous, some money
which McElrOy had paid, and Davis deman~
dod payment a second time which the de-
ceased refused to pay; Davis then came up
behind him and struck him upon the head
with loaded whip, which caused his death
in about half an hour.

CoTToN IN TEXAS. The increase of The
growth Of Texan Cotton is as follows; in
1887, 500, 600 pounds; in 1888, 1,4O0, 900;
in 1912, 100000; and in 1845, 10000
600 by estimate. This however, is but a
small part of the cotton raised there. These
amounts were taken from the returns of cot
ton imported into New Orleans, entitled to
debenture. But much of the Texan cotton
went through the Custom House at New Or
leans, all passing there as American cotton.

cotton crop raised in Texas In 1914.

THE CITY OF OAKS.

| For many reasons and in various WAYS ours is
famous and noble little City, and bids fair to be.
come immortal, inasmuch as it has found its way
into the columns of Bennett's New York Herald.
We quote from one of his correspondents, writing
from Raleigh under date August "a, 1915:
81 have just been four days in the " city of
oaks" Raleigh is called from its being sur
rounded by little groves of this staunch old tree.
MY residence Is the Eagle Hotel. This hotel faces
the magnificent Capitol, building only second to
that of Washington, and towering above the lit
tie city doth a mountain above the mole hills.
The Senate Chamber and Commons are beauLi-
fully ornamenued and suitably furnished. There
is cal ilal painting of w Washington in the former
and another Of Columbus landing in the latter !;
both by the first artists. The building is made of
granite, procured, l am informed, not a mile from
the Town. The Governors Palace, so called, is
very plain, lowly building, presenting a striking
contrast 10 the beauty and grandeur of the State
House; but it answers all the purposes, as Govern
nr Graham is himself a plain mao, though very
dignifed. = 1t was otherwise, ! Un-
dersrand, with his predecessor, who hail
fellow-well-met with all, and fond Of regang his
friends in all manner Of ways. In his time, cham
paigne ran in river, and was drank freely. Fay
eiteville s'rFeI Is the main street. having the Capitol
at one end and the Governors House at the other
L he hotels are four IN number, and seem to be
well supported by travellers, notwithstanding the
great Southern Mail Line does not pass through
here"
The next paragraph is about the Churches and
the Ministers, which we are not disposed quote,
and then comes the following, which is as rich as
old English cheese:
There is not much stirring, politically, at
present, except disposition the part of the citi
zens and State generally, TO nominate the Editor
OF the Register, whig paper. TO The Gubernator-
rial chair, if the present incumbent refuses
another term. The printer is careless about the
matter"
This correspondent knows about as much of
the "chzens and State generally" as we do of
Terra del Fuego-but Benne,t's writer's are no.
ted for blarney and wonderful tales He may,
however, be only after quizzing our respected CO.
temporary, and if so, he is not so uerdant as he
would seem to be. At any rate, we shall have
stirring" times when the Julius Cesar of the
Register comes forward 10 assume the crown.
