BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL HIGHWAY ROBBIE
EY NEAR TARBoEo'.-On Monday evening
last, whiIo two ladies-a mother and her
daUghter-were proceeding from Tarboro'
to their home in Edgecombe county, a
trunk was stolen from the hinder part of
the carriage containing about six hundred
greenbacks and large portion of the best
wardrobe belonging to the two ladies'
Two negroes have been arrested on susp1-
cion of being the perpetrators Of this rob-
berry. The trunk was found in the woods
near by where first missed, completely
ri1led OF its contents.
THE VOTE OF EDGECoMBE CoUNTY.-At
the last election the vote in this county on
the Constitution was as follows: 2,34O for,
1, 1,158 against Majority for, 1882.
OF the registered voters there were $50
who did not vote at the last election, a
large proportion Of whom will vote in No
vember for Seymour and Blair.
According to the best calculation there
were at least 200 disfranchised from voting
at the last election, 9-lOths of whom will
in November vote the Democratic ticket.
Taking these facts into consideration to-
gether with the knowledge that at least
200 colored men will vote for Seymour and
Blair, we have a reduction of more than
so per cent. in the Radical vote, which will
place their boasted majority of 1,15S con-
siderably under 500.
But the Democracy of Edgecombe should
not be content with even this favora-
resolve that no efforts shall be left untried,
and who can tell that in November next
Edgeombe shall not once again rank in
the list Of Democratic counties.
Stranger political revolutions than even
this have taken place
