IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS 1t is esti-
mated that the present crop of cotton
raised in the South, is the largest since
1860. Most Of our planters are now pre-
pairing their crops for the market, and a
good cotton tie is needed 10 protect bales
from waste, Ere and stealage. Mr.. Barry
Coleman, well known throughout the
South as Vice President of the Kentucky
Rolling Mill Company, after devoting
much time and attention, and making inc
provements on his former patent, has pros
duced tie that is as near perfection az
possible. Il is made of the best charcoal
iron, and is so easy to adjust and unbuckle
that the dullest laborer can bale cotton
with ease and rspidity. 1t is light and
elastic, and there is not weak Joint about
it. The Louisville Tie has been
thoroughly tested by planters and cotton
presssrs, and in every case pronounced to
be the best in use. A neat cut of bale
with tie adjusted can be seen in our sd.
yertising columns.

SOMETHING NEW.
Plastic Slate Roofing

The plastic Clate roofing is an article
recently introduced here, and one that no
doubt will come rapidly into use. In other
cities ii has met with great favor, and is
highly endorsed by every insurance Office
of respectability in New York. At the
last Louisiana State Fair, in awarding a
premium to this roofing, the committee iu
their repor; said it was the best that had
come under their observation. It's strength
and durability is not equalled by any
other roofing in use, and is said to be
cheaper than any other 10 use, and where
it has been introduced it supercedes all
other materials. Ia Louisville it has be
come decidedly popular, and there isis hard
ly a new binding covered with anything
else. The Chief of the Fire Department
Of that city claims that it comes nearer
being fre-proof than any roofing that has
come under his observation. In this city
it has been introduced on the Hicks block
AMI the new block of Mr.. Reid, on Broad
street, and whea its merits are fully ap-
preciated we eIpec to see it in general

BOLD RORnERY.
Over ssep Worm sinIan


oae Of the bOldest robbsries, the fea-
lures Of which psrtake of almost unpar2lr
leled audacity, was psrPetrated after IL
o'clock Wednesday night at ths store Of
MessFs. Brien & Thaxton, no. 60, souh
College street. The establishment was
closed in the evening, the proprietors,
clerks and attaches, going to their homes
leaving the windows securely fastened and
all avenues of ipgress firmly closed. Ga
reaching the store yesterday morning the
burglarious entrance into the store, and the
robbery were discovered. The articles
taken consisted in considerable quantity
Of bacon, hams, sides, and shoulders, and
several sacks Of coffee. The entrance into
the store was effected, and the goods abb
strscted in this wise: Printers, or Hog
ally, runs in the rear Of the building into
Broad street. Empty express wagons have
generally been left by adjoining parties,
in this ally near the back door of the
store. The burglars evidently procured
enc Of these wagons in which they
quietly stored their booty, and as quietly
drove of. They first sssayed tc
break through tho brick wall with
crowbar, and actually succeeded ia pry'
ing out the brick, making considerable
aperture; coming in contact with post on
the inside, however, this method was aban'
doned. They then pryed off the bolts o
an iron cased window shutter, and efecteC
the entrance They then helped them
selves and loaded the wagon and drove of
down to Broad street, where all traces Of
them were lost. The amount of the los
to the proprietors as already sscertAined j
over $500.
Several pieces of the meat we're founC
early yesterday at the intersection of tn
alley with Broad street, where they mus
have fallen from the wagon. The wsgol
was returned to the place whence it wa
taken, aud inside of it were DISCOVERIES
some empty coffee sacks, with the mar
OF Brien & Thaxton upon them, whic
had been cut open and the contents taker
: It is the impression of the proprietors tina
the robbery was committed by parties ia
miliar with the premises. At all event
it ia one of the boldest dspredations 0
\ the kind that has occurred 10 our city fc
: some time past.

SLING SHOT.
A Negro woman probably Killed.

ARcgrO woman Probably Killed.
Between the hours of ! and 2 o'clock
yesterday morning, when the orderly por-
ton Of our people were quietly wrapped
in slumber, the citizens Of North Jefferson
street were startled with the shrieks Of
murder murder | p These sounds and
screams on a public thoroughfare within
the corporate limits of tie city were not
at all calculated to produce repose to the
Inhabitants adjoining, or to inspire conf
dence of safety and protection. The cries
came from spot on the street where quite
a brutal tragedy was being enacted. The
circumstances are abOu. these: Three
negro women and child we're going along
the street, returning from some sort of a
"fair," which had been held by the
"colored population" Two of the women
were in advance of the third, whose name
is Mary johnson. The version given of
the affair is that three soldiers we're passs
ing ct the time, and that one Of them, who
was behind his comrades, coming up with
the woman Mary, knocked her in the head
with slung shot, telling her to the ground,
fracturing the skull and inhicting a dan
gerous if not mortal wound. The wounded
woman was senseless for time, her head
bleeding profusely. The soldiers went on
their way needless Of her condition, while
the other two women screamed vociferous.
ly, but no policeman was in hearing to re-
spond. The woman Mary was finally car
ried to place Ofsafety, and DR.. Stout was
called to dress her woun1. She was, yes
terday afternoon, in a suffering and preca-
rious condition, and her death from the
wound received regarded as an event Of
strong probability.
The citizens of that locality complain
loudly of the want Of proper protection,
against offenders.
