KILLING OF JUDsoN RAY-On Monday,
the 10th inst, Judson Ray and John 81.
Dennis, two young men of this city, left in
in wagon for the purpose of hunting near
a relative of Rays, some eighteen miles to-
ward the Granville line. When near the
river, in the afternoon, the dog freed a
squirrel and the young men went to shoot it.
On returning to the wagon, which had been
lett standing in the road, young Dennis got
in with his gun in his hand, and just at that
time the mule started off and, by some
means, his gun went of, lodging the con-
tents in the thigh of young Ray, cutting the
femoral artery. DR.. John Penny was called
to him, but all efforts to save him were vain,
and he died in about half an hour after
being shot. Special Coroner Magnin sum-
moned a jury of inquest, but on account Of
the absence of some persons to be called as
witnesses, after viewing the body, the jury
adjourned over to Saturday next. There is
no doubt, however, that the shooting was
accidental

RALEIGH AND CASTOR RAILRoAD.-We
clip the following from the Biblical Recorder:
This road runs from Raleigh to Weldon,
and during last year cleared, mainly from
freights. Ss7,S71.62 Over $4,000 were
left after paying dividend of 5 per cent.
The awful midnight schedule has been aban-
doned and the mail trains now run between
the usual houres of breakfast and supper.
Hence the way travel seems to be largely
increased. The largest stakeholder is W. W.
Chamberlain who holds 791 shares. The
President receives $4,000, Superintendent
$4,000, Treasurer $4,000, Auditor $500, Mas
ter Machinist $500, Conductor $500, Sta
ton agents from $3.50 to $1,000. As soon as the
Chatham road shall be completed to Egypt,
Grains now stop at Haywood) the wealth
of the state and the business of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Road will be largely increased.

MORE KUKLUx.-We are informed that
body of men disguised as Kuklux, went to
the houses of two Wkite citizens of Chatham
county, Mr. MeMnnie and Mr. .Hsiliard. last
week, and whipped both of the. men and
the wife of one, our informant did not knew
which. The men are said to be democrats,
and were whipped because they had made
a negro woman swear a child to young
white man in the neighborhood. The whip
ping was extremely severe.
1t is high time these and all other out
RACES of like character were stopped. This
way of band of men taking upon them
selves the regulating" of their neighbor
hoods by physical force, and in violation of
law, is damaging to society, and ruinous to
the country. The disguised men should be
arrested, if known, and dealt with accord
ing to law There is State law and a
national law upon this subject. The author
tiles of both State and National govern
ments should vindicate the law.

KILLING OF A. ]. BRowN.-We are in

in huntsville, Yancey County, on Thursday
last, in which Brown was killed. ~
The difficulty grew out of politics. Mr.
S. P. Ray had belonged to the State Troops
After s. P. Ray and Brown had had some
words, Brown was locked up in a house by
his friends, and Ray stepped off to the Post
Office. Brown broke out through win
dow. and proceeded down the road oppo-
site the Post Office, and met s. P. Ray. A
fight ensued, and Ray struck Brown on the
head with pistol. At this point the fight
seemed to stop for few minutes, but Mon

up, and a. fight took place between Brown

CHERAw AND SALISBURY RAILROAD
The engineer corps engaged in surveying the
line of the above road, have arrived within
seven or eight miles of Salisbury, and will
complete the survey by the first of next
week. The Chief Engineer, Capt. Earle,
reports that he found an excellent route all
the way from Cheraw, upon which road
can be easily and cheaply built. He also
says the distance will be about seventy nine
miles from Cheraw to Salisbury.
There is no good reason why this road
cannot be speedily constructed, if the peo-
pie along the route and elsewhere, who are
interested in it, will take hold of it with
vigor. The President is an efficient man,
and he has good Board of Directors.

At Richmond Hill, in Yadkin county, on the
oath ult., LAURA GREENE, youngest daughter of
Hon. R. M. Pearson, in the oath year of her age.
The foregoing announcement in its simple
brevity, indicates merely to the ordinary ear,
an addition to the records OF mortality, as daily
and hourly conveyed to us through the medium
OF the public prints, with such frequency as to
leave scarcely the passing impress OF a serious,
reflection but to the hearts of many to whom
the subject Of this notice was especially erdear-
ed, the intelligence is fraught with painful in
terest. A few short weeks since she returned
to her home from visit to friends in the far
South, in the enjoyment of perfect health and
a radiancy of spirit inseparable from it, and yet
peculiarly her own; the centre of the brightest
hopes and fondest expectations; the idol OF 1u-
merous relatives and friends; the light and joy
of the now saddened and darkened household,
from which she has passed forever in the prime
of her youthful promise. Possessing mind OF
no common order, which was strengthened and
improved by travel, reading and the exercise of
fine powers OF observation; disposition and
temperament in which decision of character was
blended with the utmost gentleness and amia-
bility; and heart that was susceptible OF, and
ever tenderly alive to emotions OF pure and eX-
allied triendship-these traits, SO admirable in
themselves, when found In combination with
great personal beauty, and a fascination OF man
ner which lew within the power OF her influence
found it possible to resist, justly entitled the
deceased to that place in the esteem and affec-
ton OF her friends, which she ever occupied, and
point with mournful emphasis to the aching
void in the hearts and homes of those, whom
her presence was won't to brighten and to
cheer. 3G-HJ
During the whole of long, and painful illness
of eight weeks duration, in the midst of the
most intense suffering, her spirit evinced the
signation, and on the evening of the oath of
September, she gently "fell asleep" and was
gathered to her fathers la the communion of
the Catholic Church; in the confidence of a GER
tain faith, in the comfort of a reasonable, relig
ious and holy hope in favor with God, and in
perfect charity with the world.n R.

WILFUL, DELIBERATE MURDER-Full
particulars have reached us with regard to
the killing of Nelson Estes, colored, which
took place in Oak Grove Township, ON last
Thursday.
The parties were farming together, The
field belonged to Nelson. Two sows were
in the field, and Nelson sent two of his chill
dren to drive them out The dogs followed
The children met Estes and went back to
the house. Nelson went down to the field.
E. A. Estes was seen coming from his house,
and heard to say "that he would kill him,
God dam him." He then went to the stable,
got his horse and saddled him, rode down
the lane, and headed Nelson who was COM
ing out of the corn, and without saying a
word, pulled out a pistol and shot Nelson
dead. He then rode still further down the
lane, and turned round and went back to-
wards the house and met Nelson's wife, who
said to him-"I suppose you have killed
my husband" Estes REPLIED" Yes, God
dam you, and I have ball left for YOU
He then went to the house-changed his
clothes, and rode off in fast gallop toward
Neuse river.
As soon as the wife found that her hus-
band was dead, she ran off to A. D. Dalby's
mills and told that her husband had been
killed. From there word was sent to the
Township Magistrate. No attempt was
made to arrest or pursue the murderer, un-
til Special Coroner Magnin reached the
premises, tvelue hours after the killing.
The witnesses were recognized to appear
before the Grand Jury next week, except
Lafayette Estes, brother of E. A. Estes, who
rode Tit horse back on which the murderer
fed the county. Lafayette said that he
met his brother at their fathers in Granville
county; and that his brother told him to
ride the horse back and take care of his
family. that there was dead negro over
there. Lafayette was committed to Jail by
the Coroner, in default of bail as an impor-
tant witness.

The PUBLIC TAx.-The taxes paid In Tor
the use of the Stare government are jenom-
mated Public Taxes. The other taxes are
all Special tasss and cannot be appropriated
for any other purpose than that for which
thew are collected If the Sheriffs do not
settle faster with the State Treasurer there
will not be money enough in the Treasury
to run the State government. A large por-
ton of the public tao will be required to re-
,,1nee the Special Tax Fund, which was used
under an act of the Legislature. The largest
norton of the tax is for the support of the
public schools. So much is raised by direct
tax, and seventy-fve per cent. of the poll
tax and all the tax received from retailers
goes to the educational fund. Therefore,
the Treasurer has to carry on the govern
iienf and replace the Special tax Fund out
of the Public Taxes. We hope eoery Sheriff
will settle in the next ten days.

paration has been made for satisfactory
display of all articles which may be for
warded for exhibition. am advised from
notifications already given that this will ex-

The various Railroad Companies, with
commendable spirits, have reduced their
fares so low that all who desire can attend.
The fares, are, as general rule, not more
than one-third full rates, go and return"
Parties living not very remote from Raleigh
can visit the Fair and go back the same
evening, so as not to spend a night from
home. So
feel confident that those attending will
be abundantly repaid by the instruction
gained and entertainment enjoyed.
The officers of the Society extend to all
cordial invitation.
earnestly request the friends of the Soci-
ETY., particularly its officers, including the
Marshal and his aids, to pursuade their &C.
quaintances having objects worthy exhibit
ton, to forward them to me ON or before the
10th October. There are vely many things
animate and inanimate in the State of ex-
cellent merit, which are never found on any
Fair ground. Their owners are too modest
or unambitious, or timid. Every lover of
our good State should desire to see its pro-
auctions fairly represented. There will be
men at our next Fair from all parts, not
only of this, but other States, North and
South OF US. An excellent opportunity will
be afforded of instructing ourselves, as well
as giving Others some idea of our immense
resources. Let, therefore, each person, who
may read this paper, make diligent inquiry
as to what may be in his neighborhood
worthy to be seen, and when ascertained, let
him endeayor to have the articles forwarded
as above described. They will be well cared
for, and returned free Of charge on Railroads.

Thursday, the goth of October, by the Rev.

ematics of the University of North Carolina,
