the war. 1t is estimated that the yield
this year will approximate about as
follows: Virginia, 100000 bushels;
Tennessee, 1,100,000 and North Caro-
lima, 10000, making a total of about
2,S2O,OOO bushels. This, at p pounds
to the bushel; would give the enor-
nous figures of 100000 pounds,
which, on an average of 4 cents a
pound, would reach thesum of$2, 4S1,-
900. Of course, these are only APP
proximate estimates, but as they come
from a good source, they are believed
to be entirely trustworthy and enable
a good idea to be formed to the extern
sive dealings in peanuts.

One of Jay Cooke & Co. s creditors
Indignantly refused to accept payment
Of his debt in what he called rotten
securities. Time passed on, however,
and the situation in reference to the
Northern Pacific became materially
modified. One morning the indignant
creditor reappeared with altered
views on the subject of his demand.
He apologized for his former unad-
yised speaking, and, agreeing to add
his claim to those which were to be
satisfied by the distribution Of securi-
ties, returned in an hour or so and
announced that he had realized 1O8
per cent Of the amount due to him.

had fallen from a swing yesterday and

went to spend vacation at the house of
his brother-in-law Mr.. Len Carey at

rope broke and he fell striking his head
on stump, DR.. Hunter of Hampton was
sent for but at Z o'clock this morning the
boy was still insensible. His father will
leave by the 5 o'clock train this afternoon
for Carbon Cliff Mr., Sam Heagy and
Mr.. Sharp Silvis were the first persons!to
inform iMr, Mcneil. A second accident
very nearly happened out of the circum-
stance, by the horse of man named Nit
ten, who started for the doctor, running
away. The injured youth has received
severe injuries before but his good luck
aud strong constitution always carried him
and it is to be hoped the same will
bsfriend him now.

There are few in or out of the Republican
party here and in Moline, but know that
between the Union and the "Reids" there
exists the most intense bitterness of feel
ing. Likewise those who know of the
existence of this feeling also know the
cause-and whether the Union admits or
denies. the facts remain that malice
actuates the roughshod onslaught on the
Reds" by the Union. In connection
with this matter THE ARGUS reitera tes
that ii desires to shield no one-in fact
favors full and thorough investigation,
bat it has no revenges to seek-no malice
to crafty, and therefore is disposed to
give all fair chance, without seeking to
forestall committee action, or create an
unfavorable impression with the public
before the truth Is known. Every man
is entitled to heariag whether he be
Republican or Democrat, even though he
be Reid" and has engendered the malice
