the road. E[e telegraphed ahead to the pro-
prietor of the eating house to provide for
them. When they arrived, they were con.
Quoted to the regular dining room and given
an excellent meal, while the white passen-
gers, about a dozen in number, had to take
their dinner in small bed room adjoining.
The circumstance is mentioned to show the
difference in the treatment of the colored
people North and South, for we are told that
the Jubilee singers find great difficulty in
getting stopping places even in the larger
Northern cities. The colored preachers were
delighted with their treatment, and when
they arrived in Charlotte, gave three hearty
cheers for the conductor, Capt. Sims, and
presented him with resolution of thanks.
Most of them are from the North.

DIRECTORS MEETING.

A meeting of the directors of the Chester
and Lenoir Railroad was held in Chester on
Tuesday, and satisfactory arrangements made
looking to the settlement of the present mort
gage Indebtedness of the company and the is
suing of new mortgage bonds.
The directors were met by a representative
of the Roane Iron Company, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, with whom contract was made for
the immediate delivery of 200 tons of iron, and
a sufficient quantity of spikes, bolts and fasten-
ings to lay it. This quantity will be more than
sufficient to lay the track from Dallas to South
Fork. When the bridge over that stream shall
have been built additional iron will be procured
to complete the road to Lincolnton.

THE WHEAT HARVEST.

The wheat harvest is now well under way,
and from what we can learn respecting the out
come of the crop, it will yield considerably
more than was expected few weeks ago.
More than an average half-crop will be made.
The ravages of the fly on the young crop did
not prove so serious as was feared in the win
ter, and but for the effects of rust the yield
would have been satisfactory. 1t is notable
that bearded wheat is less affected by rust than
the smoOth-headed

THE CESUS ENUMERATORs.

Last Tuesday the census takers started out
on their rounds for the purpose of enumerating
the population, resources, &C., of this great
country. Unlike the custom heretofore, the
work is divided among a large number of per-
sons, and instead of going about the business
leisurely and taking their own time forit, they
are required to complete the work in the terri
tories respectively assigned them during the
present month. 1t is therefore important that
the heads of families, and managers of corpora
tions, business enterprises and manufactures,
properly prepare themselves to answer the in

SUDDEN DEATH.

On Saturday afternoon, 22nd ultimo, Mr..
John Nichols, an elderly man, was found
dead on the road about one mile east of
Hickory Grove, in the western part of this
county. A jury of inquest was summoned at
the instance of Trial Justice G. G. Leech, act
ing as coroner, when the facts were elected
that the deceased, who was about 70 years of
age, was at Whitesides' mill on the morning
of his death, and while there complained of
feeling unwell. He left the mill between 10
and II o'clock A. NJ, carrying small grist
on his shoulder, and about three hours later
was found dead as above described. There
were no indications Of violence, and the con-
clusion arrived at was that he died from over
exertion while in state of general debility.

RLACK,s STATION ITEMS.

''Ego'' writes from Blacks Station that
in that section much needed rains have recent
ly fallen and crops are promising, having
been worked over one time, and being clean
and in a thrifty condition. The farmers are
busily employed and not giving much thought
to politics.
On Sunday of last week, during the pre-
valence of rain, lightning struck the house
of Moses Jennings, colored, who lives in the
town, and nearly demolished the house. The
inmates miraculously escaped. The shock was
also severely felt in the houses of Messrs. j.
a. Deal and Joseph Black, who live just
across the street from jennings Mrs. Black
was so severely affected by the shock as to be
unconscious for while.

AN OLD DOCUMENT.

There is on exhibition at the York Drug
Store grant of land from King George the
Third to George Dunlap, ''his heirs'' &C.,
given under the geat seal of the province of
South Carolina, and dated the Both of Septem-
Der, 1774. The said land, containing 100 acres,
was surveyed by VIM. Carson, Deputy Survey
or, and is located ION asmall branch of Cataw-
ba river,'' in what was then known as Craven
county, of which Lancaster is now a part.
The document is signed by ''the HonOurable
William Bull, Esquire, Lieutenant Governor
and Commander in Chief in and over our said
Province Of South Carolina" and counter
signed by ''Tho. Winstanley, Prob. c." At
tached to the grant is a plat of the survey,
showing the adjoining tracts to have been
granted to Henry Foster, Cornelius Ander-
son and Archy Davis. The certificate Of
survey is signed by John Brennan, Dep. Sur.
Gen., and the whole document is attested by
"Lindfors, S. D. AUDI" as having been enter
ed in book NJ N 13, page 434, the 9TH of April,
ITS. The most curious part of the document,
however, is the seal, attached by red tape, to
the deed or grant. The seal is made of wax, is
about inches in diameter and near half All
inch thick-rather formidable and certainly
a cumbrous coat Of arms.
According to the text of the letters patent
granted by our oldfriend, George the Third, he
was quite literally inclined towards the colo
nists, and in those days gave away land in
South Carolina with a lavish hand. To the
holder of this warrant was granted the ''privi-
lege of hunting, hawking and fowling in and
upon the land, and all mines and minerals
whatever" :" his Grace reserving only all ''white
pine trees, and one-tenth part of mines of gold
and silver;'' but requiring the said George
Dunlap ''to clear and cultivate yearly and
every year at the rate of three acres, and
