The Tarboro' Enquirer says: One Of
the County Commissioners has given
Us the cost of the repairs on tho Court
House. The entire amount foots up
the neat little sum Of 5000. The
Court House has been greatly improved,
but whether the sum expended is ex-
travagant or rot, we are unable Just
now to say.
The Raleigh News says: The returns
from the election of Thursday, from
all the townships III the county except
two. give a majority OF some 500 against
the proposed school tax. Had the

A correspondent OF the Charlotte
Democrat, writing from Stevens
Mills, Union county, says: There was
most horrible crime committed i'll

10 the first map OF the city ever drawn,

full accord. We might preach about
the beauties of Radicalism till dooms-
day from this text-hOw such linheard
of sums are forced from the pockets of
an impoverished people, but our Con-
sentative friends know it all now, and
the Radicals wouldn't believe US; SO It
would be loves labor lost.

at Goldsboro' this year, which has
been published i'll several State papers,
is not only premature. but the irdica-

it will also be q success. The ques-

Statesvillc, expressed the belief that
the ku-klux bill would be declared
unconstitutional, and advised the ac-
cused to renew their bonds and not

be declared unconstitutional, what
redress will be had for the outrages
committed? Hundreds have been run
out Of the country. Hundreds have
been ruined by being dragged five or

Some have died. And all this crime
and wrong done jill the name of law

for the Blind of the State Institution

Pinckney Hand is the workman s
name, and he is from Rockingham
county. He has been in the Institution
some three years, went there wholly

young man, capable OF taking care of
himself. The work on cane-seated
chairs has recently been introduced
but the work ON our chair gives evil

four or five at this business. To en-

material, the proceeds go to the work
