RECEIPT OF CoTToN RY THE ATLANTIC AND
NORTH CAROLINA RAILRoAD.-Some idea OF
the amount of cotton shipped from this
port of late, may be gathered from the fact
that since the new crop began to come in
nineteen hundred and tteenty-sege1 bales of
cotton have reached Newben by the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad. What
proportion of the entire amount shipped to
Northern markets this may be, we cannot
at present say, but We think it can be little
more than half. Our market is sup
piled by the Trent and Neuse rivers, and
all raised i'll the county any considerable
distance from the rivers is hauled to mar
ket in carts and wagons.

In an old Southern Patriot and CO7nn1e7'-
ciaL Adcertiser, published in Charleston in
1915, which we have been permitted to ex-
| anime, we find letter from General An
drew jackson to the Governor of this State,
David r. Williams, in which he acl1nowl-
edges that South Carolina is the State that
gave him birth. This sets at rest ques-
ton which we believe has been disputed
heretofore. Columbia Cuolinian.
Some years ago we published evidence
that showed conclusively that Gen. jackson
was borne in North Carolina, in what is now
Union county. Since then we have seen
no proof to contradict it.

which Gen. Mansfield was President has
been dissolved. We learn that he leaves
for his home i'll the morning, having been
regularly mustered out of the service. We
take pleasure in saying that the gentleman

MEETING OF DIRECTORS. The Board of
Directors of the Atlantic and n. c. Rail
road Company met yesterday in this city.
We understand that Colonel j. V. Jordan
B. Wadsworth resigned. Colonel J. has
been for some time connected with this
office and will doubtless make an efficient
agent.
Roderick Powell was elected Station

Rev DIR. DEEMS LECTURE.-The Com
mons Hall, kindly rendered to the Young
Mems Christian Association by the Legis-
lature, was filled, on Monday evening, bv
delighted audience. We were sorry, in
deed, that it was not crowded to overflow
ing, as the reputation of the lecturer and
object of the lecture led us to hope. Our
people throng to minor and less reputable
entertainments, but neglect those more
profitable and attractive resorts, where the
mind and heart may be cultivated and en-
nobled.
But a very creditable auditory assembled
to hang upon the lips of DR.. Deems, and
every one seemed in the highest degree en-
tertained. The eminent lecturer was very
happy in the selection of his theme, and
felicitous and successful in it's treatment
We regret that our space forbids any cpl
tome of the lecture, as we would wish those
who failed to attend to know what treat
they missed, however imperfectly such
sketch might portray the repast. The
lecture was replete with sound sense, rich
illustrations, sparkling humor, and pro-
fitable thought. The graceful and
flowing familiar style, coupled with the
exquisite polish and delicacy of thought
that characterize DR.. Deems efforts, rem
dered this free from the stiffness of lee
ture, while the appositeness of his frequent
humorous illustrations, and the tenderness
and delicacy of some passages rising to true
eloquence, showed the variety and extent of
his powers, and caused the whole to be a
complete success.
Right and left he dealt the blows in many
felicitous hits" turning the joke upon
the husbands " whenever they laughed at
the "wives,' and giving the 'lords " too
chance to laugh also. His benediction up
on old bachelors and old maids was full of
power, and his farewell blessing will be
long remembered.-R0l Sentinel.
The SPEAKER OF THE HoUsE.-In few
hours after the election of the Speaker of
the House, r. Y. McAden, Esq, he was
compelled to leave, to be in attendance for
a few days at his Court in Alamance. He
very properly designated Col. r. FL. Cow
an, of New Hanover, his competitor, to
preside in his absence, who fills the Chair
with the ease, dignity and promptness of
q practised presiding officer.
