PEELED from the House last Friday, by an
overwhelming vote. The dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer conveying this information
says: "His continued abuse of the members
of the House and of the Speaker became un-
bearable. An immense crowd was present
and considerable excitement prevailed"
On Wednesday of last week, the dwelling
house of Mr.. w. T. Falls, of Pleasant Ridge,
CASTOR county, was destroyed by fire. The
Gastonia Gazette says: "Mr. Falls was plough
ing near the house when he discovered it on
fire. His wife was at the spring, and owing
to the wind and dry ness of the timber, his
new residence was burned, together with near
ly all its contents, in few minutes. The loss
falls heavy on Mr.. Falls, who is young man
just starting out in life"
- The Statesville Landmark says: "1t is
an interesting fact, and one perhaps not gen.
orally known, that the Siamese twins used to
have frequent fights. They were indicted for
one of these at term of Surry court, some
time before they died, submitted for an affray,
and judgment was suspended upon payment
of cost. This is matter of record. Before
the war the twins were great secessionists, but
afterwards, being much embittered by the
loss of their slaves, they took no interest in
politics"
- The Wilmington Star learns that Judge
Avery has signed decree at Chambers for
the sale of the Carolina Central Railway at
the instance Of the FIRST mortgage bondholders.
The terms of the decree require the payment
of one hundred thousand dollars in cash,
which is to be deposited in the Bank of New
Hanover, in Wilmington, and the balance of
the purchase money to be paid in one. two
and three months. Messrs. Junius Davis and
N. A. Stedman, Jr., are the commissioners to
make the sale, and are required to give a
bond of twenty-five thousand dollars each.
- Says the Charlotte Observer of Tuesday
The prospects of the Kings Mountain Cen.
tennial celebration are encouraging The
Legislature of North Carolina has responded
to the call for an appropriation to defray the
expenses, and the committees engaged in
collecting funds from outside sources are
meeting with fair success. Citizens of the
three States Of South Carolina, Tennessee and
North Carolina, are taking commendable
interest in the matter. 1t begins to look like
we are going to have big thing of it, and
there is still time to work it up.
- A case of some interest to passengers on
railroads, was tried before Justice Waring
in Charlotte, last week. A passenger was
put off the train on the Richmond and Dan
vile Railroad by the conductor, because he
had not purchased ticket, and could not OF
would not pay the additional fare charged
by the road of those who did not have tickets
and because one Of the dimes with which ht
offered to pay was badly battered. 1t ap
peared that the passenger had reached thu
platform just as the train was moving off, ano
did not have time to purchase ticket. HI
sued the road for 5000 damages. After 6
lengthy hearing, the Justice gave judgment
against the road for thirty dollars damages

The attention of persons owning water pow

invention, and performs all that is claimed
for it. We have seen recommendations of

giving it trial, pronounce it superior to any
other water motive power made-giving more

weigh the mails transported over their lines,
expired last week. There has been consid-

of weighing them in order to strike new
average, thereby enabling them more intel
ligibly to make their bids for carrying the
same. The gross weight Of the mails carried
by the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, for the
period named, was II 1854 pounds, or an aver
age of 1888 As pounds per day.

and individuals and corporations are likewise
under penalties for refusing to answer the
questions of enumerators. Enumerators hav-
ing taken the oath and assumed the duties of
the Office, cannot retire at their own pleasure.
1t is not contemplated to give any one
enumerator more territory than contains q
population of 5000 names by the census of
1870. The remuneration will be two cents
for each living inhabitant, and two cents for
each death between the lst of June, 1879, and
the 1st Of June, 1880; ten cents for each farm,
and fifteen cents for each industry enumera-
ted. The work of the enumerators is all to
be completed during the month of June

EASTER SUNDAY. ~ s.
Easter Sunday was celebrated with appro-
pirate services in the Episcopal Church. Rev.
R. P. johnson, Rector. The church was
beautifully decorated for the occasion with
flowers and evergreens, while on the walls
were inscriptions in letters of evergreen sugges-
tive of the event the day commentaries.
The music was exceptionally fine and imposing,
and consisted of the following selections ::
See from the Tomb-Ross; Grand Te Deum-
jackson; Jubilate Deo; Easter Chant; Eas-
ter Hymn; Messiah. The sermon was from
the 2Sth chapter of Matthew-"He is not
here: for he is risen"-and was an able and
logical discourse sustaining the doctrine Of the
resurrection of Christ. A pleasant incident
of the day, was the presentation by members
of the congregation Of substantial token of
esteem to Miss Sue F. Lowry, the accomplish.
ed organist of the church.

Total visible supply

From this it appears that, with receipts
from plantations from this time to September
l, of 131 900 bales, the present crop will
amount to FIVE and a half millions. The re-
ceipts from planta tons for the corresponding
time last year, were 1000 bales. There can
be no doubt that the size of the present crop has
been the result, in large degree, of the high
prices that have ruled. Almost anything in
the shape of cotton could be sold for eleven
cents, and, in consequence, large quantity
of the staple has come to market, which,
under less favorable circumstances, would
have been wasted. Many well Informed par.
ties place the increase from this cause alone
at 250,000 bales.

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
The State Democratic Convention.

Inc state UemOcT6bIC COufcutiOus
- The chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, has issued the follow
ing circular 10 the County Chairmen, under
date of March 25, 1880: ....
In the recent call for convention, to as.
semble on the FIRST of June next. The State
Executive Committee, among other things,
desired to submit to the convention itself,
when it assembled, the question whether the
nomination of the State ticket should be
made then or at subsequent time. Had
the committee omitted to name, among the
objects for which that convention is called,
the nomination of State officers, they would,
practically, have assumed to decide the
matter in favor of second convention.
1t is important that this view of the ac-
ton of the committee should be presented
to your respective county conventions when
they assemble to select delegates and you
are requested to lay it before them, to the
end that the wishes Of the party may find ex-
preston, and the delegates be advised of
the desire of their constituents. Unity and
harmony are paramount to every other con-
sideration. The committee has implicit faith
that the action of the convention, whatever it
may be, will insure the success Of the Dem
ocratic party.
Freight on Cotton.
-- The Supreme Court of this State has re-
Gently rendered two decisions with regard to
the freight on cotton:
I. In the case of Bonham, railroad COM
missioner, va. Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad Company, the question was as
to the construction of the clause of the char.
ter of the defendant corporation in regard to
charges for the transportation Of cotton pack
ed in bales, whether cotton packed in bales
is to be regarded as heavy article or an ar
ticle of measurement.
The Circuit Judge decided that from the
terms of the charter and general customs Of
the country within the judicial knowledge of
the Court, cotton packed in bales was to be
regarded as heavy article. There was no
evidence as to the general custom in relation
thereto.
The Supreme Court deciues that the Act
does not afford any means of determining the
force Of the expressions heavy and articles Of
measurement, and that these terms must be
defined by proof of the custom or practice
prevailing at the time Of the passage Of the
Act.
The judgment of the Circuit Court is re-
versed, and the cause is remanded for further
proceedings. The opinion was delivered by
Chief Justice Willard.
II. In the case of Elder vs.. the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company,
! the plaintiff obtained verdict against the
defendant corporation in the trial juatice's
court, on question in regard to freight on
cotton packed in bales, sustaining the propo-
sition that cotton in that condition is to be
regarded as heavy article. The Circuit
Court set aside the verdict. On appeal, the
Supreme Court decides that the charge Of the
trial justice being in accordance with the con-
clusions arrived at in the above case Of Bon
ham, railroad commissioner, vs.. the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com
pany, was correct.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13th.-The Sun
says: The Spread-ths-Light Club.
an association recently formed in
Brooklyn for the purpose of diffus-
ing knowledge on social and scien.
tito subjects among the masses,
held its initiatory meeting last
night at the Clubs hall on Fulton
street. There was large attend
Ance, mainly OF workingmen.
Henry George, of California, deliv.
cred AN address. The name of the
Club, he said, involved the great
duty of the hour. The many In.
justices which prevail among men
were the fruits of their own igno-
rance, and there could be no high
er duty than to find the truth and
spread the light. Until this was
done 1t would be useless to attempt
anything. In countries where the
workmen were ground down to a
more pittance 1t was impossible
for Republic to exist. In
our own country the mon.
strous inequality between the class
Cd is becoming greater every year.
The world has never before seen
such an aristocraoy as exists in our
great railroad magnates to-day.
They are citizens, but they WELD u
greater power than has been held
by many kings. These things con-
front US to-day, and lie directly
across the path of the republic. It
10 to discuss these questions that
tho society has been organized.
Mankind must mount up into the
ideas of social justice, or follow the
path that every preceding nation
has followed to anarchy and ruin.
The time has come when our civil
ization must make that move or 20
down. The speaker spoke strongly
In support of the abolition of pri-
vate property in land. The land
question, he averred, was not an
Irish question, but the fight of the
times for the regeneration of man
kind. This was the great cause of
inequality.
