Mr. Merrimon said that he hoped that

Take the statistics of crime. and the ratio
of crime and outrage was In favor OF the
South, two TO one.
M. Edmonds said he had been told on
good authority that a man went TO New,
burn, in the gentleman's own State, ana
established business; he was entirely lg-
nored; he had committed no crime yet no
one noticed him; and the only reason Tor
Hucb treatment was that he was Yankee.
New England men had been taught to De-
lieve in the honesty Of labor. He did not
make this statement as reproach 10 North
Carolina or to his friend from that STATE;
but be would say that until it became re-
spectable for a man from New England 70
engage in commercial pursuits IN North
Carolina, just SO long would the South cry
for more money.
Mr.. Merrimon said that in the NeWoern
care referred TO, circumstances connected
with the man deprived him OF the society
he sought TO enter. The statements WIN
uered in the ears of his hODored fIlen0, MT
Edmunds, were not true; respectable PEG
ME were welcome in the South; and with a
man seeking society in the South It was the
same AZ seeking it in New England.
Mr.. Edmonds said that he was glad
20 know that the statements OF the
ill treatment of people in the South
were not true now; until recently .hev were
true. As rule no officer OF the United
States army, sent to any particular posi-,
was received into society. He had VISITED
the South, and had been told that the only
Decple who associated with army officers
were those termed "scalawags" by those OF
their own section.
Mr.. Merrimon-Well, my friend, allow me
to state that know that this is not true III

Mr.. Edmunds said that he was glad to
hear that times had changed since ne was
in the South in 1867.
Mr. Edmunds, at 1915 P. N moved that

At $3.50 p. NJ. the doors were reopened anu

FROM GERARDSTOWN
GERARDsTowN, Nov. 2

Messrs Editors
The excitement attending the
election ha d passed away. and our
village had began TO assume it's
dull and monotonous style of life
again, whec its peaceful currents
were disturbed by IN accident that
occurred at a tournament held on
Back Creek on the 9th of last
month, and J. Parish was thrown
from his horse and badly hurt
about the head. DIR. j. p. Carter at
tended him for several days, when
Parish's wife becoming dissatis-
fled sent for another physician,
GoldsbOrou h, Grantham and
Smith attended him and trephined
his head, hence arose a bitter dis
cIssion between Carter, and the
other three physicians as to the
propriety of the operation. Nor
gan of the "Times" is dispensing
their thunders, and if we are to
belive half they say of each ether
they are certainly fine set of GEN
TLEMEN, to say the best.
DR.. Smith paraded the streets
on last Saturday, carrying club
for the purpose ofshillalahing DR..
Carter. But it seems that gentle
man had retired to the upper
part of his house, and did not VEN
ture on the street that night. Both
parties / am told'go armed to the
teeth, but nobody seems to be much
excited about it, and the general
expression is, let them fight il out.
Mr.. Frank Horner on last
Thurs day slightly wounded
himself accidentally. He had
been hunting. and as he was get
ting off his horse the gun was dis
charged, the load passing through
the fieshy part of his leg.
/ was told to-day that the late
fires on the mountain burnt Henry
Moore's crop of com, not leaving
him any. More Anon,
