DIsoEDEELY.-On Saturday drunken
negro paraded Main Street using boisterous
language unfit for decent ears to hear for
quite length of time, and finally it be
came 50 intolerable that Bill Battle, police
man, was looked up and requested to ar
rest him. He approached him, but moi
liking the hostile appearance Of the often
der, kept a respectful distance behind him all
the way to ''Grab All and there left him.
The town watchmen are paid well and
should attend to their business. \ man
who will permit The threats of q drunken

TAR RIVER NAVIGATION Cove are
Informed by Macon Bonner, Esq, that the
amount of stock subscribed thus far a
mounts in the aggregate to 81, 500. 0O.-
The amount required for the purchase of
the desired steamer being 100000, there
yet remains to be raised Sl50O.00.
Mr.. Bonner has been very faithful and
energetic in canvassing this county and the
success with which he has met, gives him
good cause to be 50 sanguine as to think
| the boat will be on the line by 1st of Octo-
Der.
Should the enterprise result as is eXpec-
| ted, the steamer will connect with Balti-
| more and other lines at Washington, and
Bills of Lading will be given from all points
on Tar River to the different cotton mark
cts North and South.
lnasmuch as the many advantages which
would accrue to the people of this county
and of Pitt from this steamboat have been
time and again reviewed i'll this paper,
we,.deem it unnecessary at this time to enter
again into details. The next meeting of
the stockholders Will be held at the Court
House on Tuesday next, when a full atten-
| dance is earnestly requested.

JEws.-In a discussion on tie streets
this week several gentlemen expressed an
opinion that the advent of Jews to Tar
boro' had injured the place. We beg leave
to differ with them The Jewish element
Of this community has increased the value
of real estate and the trade at this point,
at least 25 per cent. Were they to leave,
we believe there would be equally as large
a decline. They are good citizens and an
unoffendingse of people. We would be
glad to see 500 Jews come to Tarboro' to-
morrow with capital, and in year after
wards, the business of the place would have
increased surprisingly.

Strange to say, not one among them has

And when we look around, those in the
county who have accumulated some prop
crty and are doing well, have done like
wise. This seems to argue that the most
intelligent and respectable of the race re
fuse to observe the dictates of the de
grading negro leaders of the Radical party
in EdgecO,nbe, and by industry and thrift
are providing homes for their families and
obtaining the wherewitLal to educate and

FALKLAND, Pitt Co., Aug. 10, 1874.
Editor Enquirer -Southerner
Dear Sir:--Of course you have heard
ere this the good news from this county.
"Old Pitt is herself again. The county
has gone overwhelmingly democratic.
As the election is over we are now think
ing about steamboats,. We want another
one on the river 1t is very strange that
some people can't see it. The "Cotton
Plant " raised the freight on cotton imme-
diately after the ''Vesta " was taken off
the river. The farmers along the river no
doubt will have an increased freight unless
we have another boat. Every one that has
any freight whatever should take stock
and start the boat right Off Are the Di-
rectors at work? We want another boat
and ought to have it.
Yours, &c, ENQUIRER.
Truly remarks the Carolina Messenger: ::
The man who has a family Of children
and does not take newspaper, is taking
upon himself the responsibility of turning
loose upon the community a set of ignorant
beings to disgrace his name, who, for few
cents day, might be made intelligent and
well-informed citizens.
And the Charlotte Observer is not mista
ken . A newspaper that has no enemies, is
d newspaper that has no character-no
courage-no boldness-no backbone, "spi-
nality, as elegant writers sag nowadays.
And its influence is not a feathers weight.
'Woe unto you when all men shall speak
well of you J" IS a warning that we pay
heed to. There is more good sense in the
Scripture than in all the other books Of The
| world combined
The enquirer southerner., 1874-08-14

For as we are advanced in civilization,
not one man III two thousand knows how
to fold a newspaper properly; but we will
wager a years salary that not one young

hustle every Saturday after our exchanges
is wanting in the accomplishment.
