GOVERNOR HoLDEN's ORDER. --When "our
cousin beloved" departed some weeks ago
for New York, he left peremptory orders
with his Private Secretary, VIM. r. Rich
ardson, the man who did not present
General Robert Vance with war charger),
that if "Hon." A. Ii. Galloway, the Great
elector and leader of the Senate, should
enter the Executive office to kick him
out.
Galloway's offence is this and nothing
ore, so far as we have heard: On one oc-
casion at Peppers drinking saloon. Gallo
way was invited by friend of the Cover
nor to drink. When all glasses were filled
to the brim, Gov. Holden's health was
proposed. Galloway set his glass upon the
counter, and refused to drink the health of
the King of the Leagues. And for this
slight offence the colored Elector whom
the whole people of the United States de-
! lighted to honor is to be kicked out Of the
Capitol.
Nothing surpasses the insolence of this
order, except that other order to the Lii
brarian when Provisional Governor. for
bidding citizen to enter the State Libra

MOUNTAIN SCENERY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Bannister, Cowan & Co., in their "Resour-
ces of North Carolina" in speaking of the
mountains of this State, remark: "They
have been less known to tourists and pleas
ure seekers than they deserve to be, not
only for the general attractions of noun
tain scenery, but for peculiar features that
mako them very conspicuous. They are
the highest mountains of the whole Allie
ghany chain, the highest peak exceeding
the height of Mount Washington about 700
lfeet-Clingman's Peak being goal feet.
and Mount Washington 1925 feet high.
''The researches of Profs. Mitchell and
Guyot, and Mr.. Clingman, have shown that
there are more than twenty peaks rising
much above 5000 feet. and that the whole
mass of the mountains far surpass all 9TH
ers east of the Rocky Mountains in mag
nitude."
DRIED FRUIr-HEAvY SHIPMENT We
have authority for stating that during the
month of September, last. there were 901, >
900 pounds of dried fruit shipped from
High Point station on the North Carolina
Railroad; and there are yet between one
thousand and fifteen hundred barrels now
held in that town for shipment, after the
prices advance-which is expected. This
evidence of industry on the part of our
people is cheering, and foreshadows day
of prosperity in our State.
