THE ABsCONDING BENEDICT.
It would seem, by a letter addressed to a
gentleman in this place from the Sheriff of
Stanly county, N. c., that the proper name
of the young man calling himself Hatley, who
married the widow Helms, and decamped a
day or two afterwards, is Henry Morton. The
Sheriff writes that Morton stole horse in
Stanly county about year ago, and after
selling the animal in Monroe, came on in this
direction A few days after his marriage in
this county, he was at his mothers in Stanly,
but fearing arrest in that county for horse
stealing, he suddenly left and was last heard
of at Concord, where it is supposed he took
the train. The Sheriff of Stanly has no doubt,
from the description, that Morton is the same
chap who imposed upon the widow.
THE WHEAT AND OAT CROPS.
There is much larger area sown in wheat
and oats in this county than has been sown in
small grain any year since the war. The
short corn crop of the past summer, as well
as the light wheat crop of last harvest, induced
the farmers to SOW more largely of small
grain this fall than usual, and for this pur-
pose the season was unusually propitious. The
only fear at this period of the crop is that
the warm, growing weather of the past fall
advanced it too rapidly, rendering it more Ii
able to disaster from cold weather. In some
localities, both wheat and oats have been at
tackled by the fly, which has appeared in large
numbers, cutting the growing grain smooth
with the ground. The chopper" which was
so devastating to wheat winter before last,
has also appeared in some sections, but our
information is that up to this time it has in
ficted little or no damage to the crops
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Legislature of South Carolina assem-
bled in annual session at Columbia last Tues
day. The intimations are that the session
will be lengthy. Among the recommends
tions of the Governors message, it is stated
there will be one urging the immediate repeal
of the lien law. On this point, ~. A. NJ"
telegraphs the Ne,cs and Courier, under date OF
Monday, as follows:
The feeling in reference to the lien law is
very intense, and the desperate fight on the
question of repeating it is sure to occupy the
attention of the legislature. The friends of
repeal are confident of carrying the lower
branch of the legislature, as they have done
twice before, and they will push it in the SEN
ate, too. There it will meet with sharp resist
ance, and the advocates of the law confidently
expect to kill the repeating bill in the Senate
even if it gets through the House. I have
