Mr.. N. knight is candidate to fill one
of the seats from Rowan county in the
House of Commons This announcement
saws the Arqvs of Mr. Knight, with Gen.
Dargan already in the field, presents q full
ticket for the House of Commons from the
county, without opposition.
The manner in which the mails are man.
aged on the line of the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherfordton Railroad between
Wilmington and Rockingham needs to be
looked after by the Post Office authorities.
About once week no mail comes up the
line from Wilmington, and when the ques-
ton is asked why it does not the answer
is that there was no Route Agent to take
charge of it, The question naturally oc-
ours, why, at certain times, is there no
agent on that route to take charge of the
mails . -JTadesboro' A7yus.

While the removal from the State of such
men as Judge Heath must be felt as great
public loss, it is a source Of qualification to
know that his eminent worth and abilities
are properly appreciated in his new home, as
we have frequently heard is the case
